LET your milk thoroughly cool
quickly in clean, sweet cold water and
it will not be spoiled afterward by heat,
during a seasonab1e period.
Sweet potatoes do not require as
long to either bake or boil as white
ones, so should not be put on to cook
till the others are partly done.
Feed your breeding fowls moder-
ately at all seasons of the year. They
should never be fattened, and this is
one of the best arguments for keeping
them by themselves.
-Donkeys of small size and docile
spirit are becoming popular again for
children in the cities, as they never go
fast and are considered perfectly safe

1t seems that the Tegas Farmer,
the organ of the Grange in that State,
has been successful in its efforts to
show up the mismanagement of the
Alliance Exchange at Dallas, and
thereby put the farmers of Texas on
their guard.
The Planters Alliance is composed
of negroes, and recently held a meet

will not if your nests have been prop
erly looked after and kept clean. Still,
if you have neglected this, wash the
soiled eggs when you collect them. t
will pay if you send them to market

than men, but the same kind Of ex-
p0sure that produces colds rheuma-
tism, ETC., in men will be liable to af-
feet horses in the same way. II ia
therefore apparent that warm stables,
good blankets and protection from
severe weather are necessary.
The glass-blowers' trade employs
the same methods to-day that it die
centuries ago. The workman now
blows the glass with his mouth just a
he did then-be it bottle, flask or COB
let that he is making. Even Watcl
crystals are made in this way. They
are cut from glass which has beef
t blown into a sphere.
