Never rub dust from books, but brush it off with a soft, dry cloth or duster.
 Do not use kerosene or other lr- ritating oils on the bodies of animals to destroy insects or lice. Common lard-oil is as good as any thing else, as all kinds of grease is fatal to insects. Flavor the lard-oil with spoonful of oil of pennyroyal.

 The root crops are sometimes enormous on rich land, and can be grown at a low cost compared with their value. As many as 1000 bushels of beets have been grown on one acre, and at cost of only four cents per bushel. For milch COWS they are in- valuable, and should be m ade special crop on all dairy farms.

 A simple little economy is to take good white skirts which have become frayed at the edge, or from which the trimming is worn, and neatly bind them with black dress braid for street wear. In fact, to put on lace-trim- med petticoat or one with elaborate embroidery with a street dress is most doubtful taste; such garments should be reserved for the home or carriage.
 -Evaporated corn is quite equal to canned corn, but if you can not avail yourself of this process the next best way is to cut it from the cob, place it on earthern plates, and carefully dry it in the stove oven-being very care ful not to discolor it by too hot an oven. When used, soak over night in sufficient cold water to just cover it, and let it boil half an hour just before dinner time; then season and serve.
 French Tart: Take four round sponge-cakes baked in plates to be about an inch thick. Between these cakes, piled one on top of the other, place layer of preserves, each one of 3 different sort, but be sure to have strawberries for the top layer. Then cover the whole cake, top and sides, with a thick icing made of one pound of confectioner's sugar and three we'll beaten whites of egg, with flavoring of vanilla, rose or lemon, as you fancy. Place the iced cake near the fire until the icing is dry, but the cake must not be again put into the oven.-Harper's BdzGr.
 The draft horse is easily broken to harness and submits cheerfuly to labor. The farmer has no need of a professional breaker to educate his horses to go in harness, for long years of service have fixed in him the he redity to submit willingly to the author ity of man. There is no tedious proc ess of breaking to undergo, and his easy temperament responds naturally to good feed, and he is quickly put in condition for the market.
