ADVICE TO WIVES.
How They Can Make Their Husbands
Lives Pleasant aud Agreeable.

Love your husbands mother. Re-
member she is older than you are and
will probably die first. Ifyou can't do
this you had better marry an orphan.
Don't be ashamed of being "only a
woman" If you were a man he would
never have married you.
Let your husband have the last word
once in awhile. 1t will give him conf
dence III himself aud may even make 4
man of him some day.
Try and forget yourself once in
awhile when you are talking TO your
husband. He probably forgets you
quickly enough when you are out Of
town on visit.
Don't continually talk about Your
self when speaking to your husband.
Remember that bore is one who talks
about herself when her husband wants
to talk about himself
Let your husband read the paper at
the breakfast table if he wants to. 1t
will prevent his making ill-natured re-
marks about the coffee grounds and
heavy biscuits.
Don't be unreasonable, that is as
reasonable as you can b.. 1t will give
you a reputation for originality, which
may be very valuable if you ever want
to enter museum.
Let him think he knows more than
YOU do once in awhile. This is espc-
cially advisable about the { line You
want a neat hat, 1t is always easy to
undeceive him when the bills come in.
Remember that your cook is n
woman. too, and if she wants to en-
tcrtaiu her guests in the parlor, be
generous. There is no telling when
the rage for wealth may strike you and
you want to be . cook yourself.
De companion to your husband.
Call at his Office for him every after
noon and 60 with him TO his club in
the evening. Most men love devotion.
If this is persisted in for any length Of
time he will send you to the scashore
in the summer il he has to mortgage
his dress suit to pay the bill. N. y

Remedy for Mango.

Mango is not disease in the common
sense of the term, but is caused either
by vegetable parasite or by an insect
which grows in the skin. There are
two kinds, but both are treated alike.
The treatment is as follows The skin
is first washed with warm water and
carbolic soap to soften it and open the
pores in which the parasites are i'm.
bedded it helps to rub the skin with a
corn cob or something rough TO break
up the vesicles and remove the crusts
The parts are then dried and rubbed
thoroughly with an ointment made as
follows: Four parts of lard, one part Of
sulphur, and one part of kerosene; few
drops of creosote are added, about
twenty drops to an ounce of the mixture
This should be well worked into the
skin with a hard brush, and the applica-
tion should be repeated weekly for three
or four weeks, so as to destroy any new
growth from eggs or spores. This
disease is contagious, aud the stables
where NANCY animal has been kept
should be well white. washed with lime.

Durabilitv Of Timber.

Timber varies exceedingly in its power
of resisting decay, and the more resinous
the wood is the sooner it decays under
grouhd. Thus, pine and hemlock posts
will rot off in two years if made of green
timber, but will last four years il the
timber is seasoned, and will resist decay
for eight or ten years if well saturated
with hot lime and tamped with coarse
broken stone when set. Seasoned locust
and chestnut posts thus treated with
lime and tamped with stone have re-
manned sound for thirty or forty years,
but ii the timber is green when set the
posts have rotted OIL in half this period.
The frequently appearing statement that
posts set in the ground top end down
ward are more durable than if set the
other way has also been disproved by
tests, as might be reasonably expected.
As the matter of the durability of fence
posts is important to farmers-and it is
well proved that locust is the most dur
able of all timber for that purpose, and
chestnut is next to 1.-THE planting of
groves of these trees for this use should
not be neglected. BY and by it will be
easy to collect the seeds, and this should
be done in season. York Times.

Weed Killing.

It was while crops were smaller and did
not shade the ground. To go through a
field and pull up the larger weeds which
in some way escaped destruction at the
last hoeng, or with hoe to cut up
those that are starting in certain spots,
is not like the labor OF giving the field a
thorough hoeing. Then those which
fringe the borders of the fields should G
mown down, and the spots from which
the early crops have been taken should
be plowed or gone over with the
cultivator, even though no other crop i,

should lie fallow than to be growing a
crop of foul seeds to infest the neghbor-

Then there are weeds and bushes in
the pastures and along the roadsides to
be mown down. Let them lie where
they fall until dry enough to burn, and
then apply the match, so that the fire
may assist in destroying the sprouts that
may start from the roots. With the first

The Saloon Must Go.

The time is fast approaching when the
inso,ence and lawlessnesS of the saloon will
lie effectually suppressed. sentiment in
that direction is rapidly developing, and
nothing has done more to quicken it than the
saloon itself. Its disregard for law, its
arrogance, its lobbying in legislative halls
and dictation to conventions and caucuses,
have done more than all else TO create
sentiment against it that will control it or
suppress it altogether. 1t should consider
it has no claim on the public at all 1t has
no part in commercial prosperity. 1t exists
in opposition to all principle OF industry and

Poultry as Wheat Producers.


1t has been claimed that one fourth of
the prot in poultry is in the manure
they produce. From the perince of
wheat grower in Ohio, it would appear
that the whole expense of keeping his
poultry was pad by the droppings taken
from the poultry house. This is the way
it was done:
In the fall, after he has his corn in the
shock, he goes to the fie d and gets a
number of loads of nice, fine, dry dirt;
this is placed under cover; once each
week the hen house is cleaned out and
and the droppings covered with some of
this dry dirt, in bulk about half as much
as the droppings. This absorbs the
moisture and retains the ammonia. Two
or three times during the summer the
pile is shoveled ovet, to have it thor
oughly mixed and dried. The whole is
then sifted to remove feathers, straw or
anything else that would clog u grain

Practical Hints on Raising Calves

~
The important point in raising calves
is TO give them a good start, for which
purpose nothing equals milk as it is
taken from the COW. Though some peo-
pie practice separating the calf from the
COW the day after it is dropped, it is gen.
orally preferred to let it run with the
COW for four or five days, takin all the
milk it will At least this period should
eapse after cali is dropped before the
milk will he fit for use a. human food.
After separating the calf from the COW
new milk shou,d be literally fed for
two weeks, and if this can be continued
even longer it is advisable. No substI-
tute for new IN Tx should be gwen under
two weeks. After that. however. more
economical food may be compounded,
if desired, and the calf will still thrive.
If skim milk can now be afforded, the
calf will thrive on liberal feeding.
Willard says that if whey and oat-
meal be properly prepared it can be
made to serve as a very good substitute
for milk. The whey should be dipped
off when sweet from the vat then bring
to the boiling point and turn il upon the
oil-meal. ct the mixture stand till
night, then feed. In the morning whey
sweet from the vat may be fed. At the
commencement little less than pint
of oil-meal per day will be sufficient for
four calves. This may be gradually in
creased till each calf has q daily ration of
half pint. At first it is better not to
feed calves all the whey they will drink
at a time. A large feed Of whey clogs
the appetite and deranges the health.
\ half pail of whey at first is
enough for feed which may he increased
to three fourths of pail and a pail as
the calf increases in age. Two meals a
day, if the calf runs in a good pasture, is
sufficient. Calves fed in this way ought
not to be weaued until they can get a
good bite of after feed from the early cut
meadows. 1t is important to keep them
in growing, thrifty condition with no
check. When weaned earlier their
growth is often checked by reason OF
short, dry or innutritious feed in PCS
lures
When whey IS not to be had for feed
ing young calves the following is some
times used: Take three quarts of linseed
meal and four quarts of bean meal
and mix with thirty quarts of boiling
water, when il is left TO digest for twenty
four hours and is then poured into a
boiler on the fire having thirty-onC
quarts of boiling water. 1t is here boiled
for half an hour icing stirred with a
perforated paddle TO prevent Jumps and
produce perfect incorporation, 1t is
then set aside to cool and is given blood
warm. When first used it is mixed will
milk in small quantity. The milk is
gradually decreased ill they get the
mucilage only. Indian meal may b'
used in place of bean meal Buckwhea
meal cooked into porridge and added L
