For Men Who Own Horses.

From the n Y. Mail aud Express
Never wash horse with cold
water when he is heated.
On the farm dispense with shoes,
unless the land is very rocky.
Feed your horse regularly three
times daily, but never Over-feed.
Water before feeding, but not
while the horse is hot from work.
Use the whip very little, and
never when the animal SHES or
stumbles.
Never leave horse standing IN.
hitched. 1t is the way to make
them runaways.
DO not storm and fret. Be quiet
and kind, and the horse will be so,
too, in most cases.
Give the horse large stall and
a good bed at night. 1t is impor'
taDt that he lie down to rest,
If "a horse is vicious and nnman'
ageabe at your business, sell 1t to
some one that can control him.
Hay or other ground feed is in
dispensable, and ground corn or
hominy is better than whole corn.
A cotton card is one of the best
instruments for grooming a horse.
1t cleans better than the comb.
Do not expect your horse to be
equally good at everything. The
horse, like the man, must be adap-
ted TO his work.
Near the close of journey let the
horse walk. If covered with sweat
rub off with rag to prevent too
sudden cooling.
Collar gals and bruises are ben
Gifted by washing with salt water.
Wash shoulders daily when using
the horse. Brine is good also for
stiff joints.
When flies are bad wash the
horse all over lightly with a weak
solution of carbolic acid. If you
have not the acid, apply surgeons
oil on the TANKS, necks and tender
parts.

Finish What You BeQin,

Thousands start we'll, but never
finish one thug at a time. They
have a dozen of things on hand,
and no one completed. Always
finish what you begin. One thing
finished is worth a hundred half
done. The completion Of an under.
taking yields more pleasure and
more profit than dozens of plans.
The man who is always planning
or scheming is rarely, it ever, sue
cessful. lie often furnishes ideas
for others who go perslstenly to
work and finish what his ideas sng-
gested. "That was my idea, my
plans,v we frequently hear some one
say, but the man who carried it ont,
was the who benefited himself and
others. DO not begin what you
cannot finish. What you under
take to do, do, and reap the reward
of your own ideas and skill. This
applies to all classes of business

a smonldering fire can be found

FARM AND HOSEHOLD.
HINTS TO H0USEKEEPERS.

Relieve pains in.the side by the
application of mustard.
For nose bleeding, get plenty OF
powdered alum up into the nostrlls.
Sandpaper applied to the yellow
keys OF the piano will restore the
color.
To polish nickel-plated goods
after becoming black and not
worn, use rouge or whiting on a
rag with a little oil.
Broken limbs should be placed
in q natural position and the pa
tent kept quiet until help arrives.
For coffee stains try putting
thick glycerIne on the wrong side
and washing il out with lukewarm
water. For raspberry stains weak
ammonia and water is the best.
To make apple water, CIT the ap-
pies in small pieces and pour over
them boiling water. Strain in
three hours and sweater. This
makes refreshing drink for an in-
valid.
Lemons can be kept in good con
dltlon for long time by putting
them in a tight cask and covering
with water. They must be kept in
a cool place, and the water should
be changed every other day.
To remove cliukers from stoves,
place a few oyster shells in the
CRATE while the fire is burning, and
the clinkers will at once become
loosened and may be readily re-
moved without lnjuring the lining
Coffee pounded IN mortar and
roasted on an iron plate, sugar
burned on hot Goals, and vinegar
boiled with myrrh and sprinkled
on the floor and furniture of a sick
room are excellent deOdorizers.
To insure paste from moulding,
put into it proportion of alum
and resin. A few drops of any
essential oil will preserve leather
from mould, and a single Glove put
into bottle of ink will have the
same effect upon it.

Care of Corn Fodder.

An easy way to take care OF corn
fodder, says The Prairie Farmer,
is 10 shuck in the field and tie in
bundles which are afterward stack.
ed. Lay a piece of twine ON the
ground of a length to suit the size
OF the bundles you propose max
ing; place an armful OF fodder on
the Irvine and shuck out the corn
which may be thrown into q wagon
Repeat this operation until you
have a bundle of the desired size,
which tie firmly. The bales from
two to tour shucks can be piled to-
gether until convenient time
comes for hauling, or until the first
snow comes, when they may be
hauled to the stack on sleds. In
piling in the field lay one bale on
the ground and put others cross
wise. By using a pitchfork to
handle the bales, one man can load
with greater ease and rapidity than
two in the old way, loose. In
stacking, the stacker takes two bales
in his hand and sets them up
perpeudicularly, building on each
side of this row until the desired
size is obtained. Now lay bales
lengthwise on the top of the up
right ones to raise the shedding
bales to a half pitch, and if neces-
sary the stack can be covered with
long slough hay to shed snow and
rain. BY this method the fodder
iskept straight, dry and convenient
70 feed.

HOME MADE FERTILIZER.

An Ohio farmer, writing to the
National Stockman, tells how his
poultry increased his wheat yield
five to ten bushels per acre.
In the fall after corn is set IN
shock, when the ground is dry, l
gather three or four loads Of the
richest aud finest soil to be found
in the corn field and put it under
cover to be used in the winter
Once week the droppings are
gathered from the poultry house
and put in a dry place, where they
are covered with about half as
much dirt as there is drOppings.-
This dries them out and prevents
the escape of ammonia. This is
turned over a few times during the
summer to thoroughly mix and dry.
Then it is sifted to take out any
feathers or straws that might choke
the drill. Now it is ready for use
and can be put in with any drill
that has a phosphate attachment,
as we'll as any of the commercial
fertilizers, and will give as good
results in both wheat and grass,
with only about One'fourth the ex-
pense. About one barrel per acre
is what seems to give the best re-
suits at my place. My little boy
ten years old, Sits six barrels a
day and has some time to play. l
have tried the above for several
years and Think it pays me we'll
for the feed the poultry consume.
