The following prescription is ex-
cellent in cases of lameness from over
work or in cases of slight strain on
the back: Two ounces of alcohol, two
ounces of hartshorn, two tablespoon
fuls of rock salt (table salt will do).
Put all the ingredients into a quart

When the ground is hard and
frozen work may be done in cutting
out the surplus canes of blackberries
and raspberries. The old cane is only
a useless incumbrance to vine, and
should be removed while there is
plenty of time for such work. A lib
eral application of wood ashes may be
applied after removing the canes, while
bone dust will also be found very ben
eficial.
Women who do their own work
regard their rough hands with great
distress. To make and keep them soft
wear old gloves at night, just rubbing
in an ointment made by beating the
white of an egg to froth and stirring
into cup of melted lard, to which is
added one teaspoonful of glyoerine.

In a majority of cases the cheap
egg foods are composed of bone meal
and ground oyster shells. They are no
doubt excellent to certain extent, but
are not worth the price asked for them
when put up in the shape of boxed
goods for market. If ground oyster
shells are desired they can be procured
as such at a low price, and if bone meal
is desired it is cheaper to buy it direct
from the manufacturer or from q poul-
try supply house. Many so-called egg
foods are given high-sounding names,
though composed only of cheap SUBJ
stances.
Picturesque roses are not to be
seen as often rs they should be. We
do not mean specimens grown in pots,
but great spreading bushes. grown as
shrubs, admirable not from the flowers
alone, but from their mass and fresh
ness. Some of them are more free
from insects than the tender sorts, but
even these in the South almost attain
the dimensions of trees. Sometimes
when supported simply by rustic props
they will live for a generation, which
they will not do if tortured into arti-
fetal shapes. Cut out the dead wood
and give a good SOIL and no shrub on
tie place will give more satisfaction.
