An English nobleman a short

in this country. his bride was
much younger than himself, and
very accomplished and attractive
and hence surrounded with a crowd
of admirers az every place where
they stopped. The nobleman eau

be put to hmm relating to himself
and wife. Having stopped over
night at one of our leading hotels,

When milking, have the hands
dry and clean, and do not wet the
cows teats with milk. 1t is o
filthy habit.
To have succession of bloom In
hyacinths, place the pots in their
place Of warmth (blcom) at inter-
walls OF two weeks.
Hyacinth bulbs forced once can
not well be forced again; the best
thing to do with them is to plant
them in the garden.
An old flour barrel. with the re-
mains of -four on its sides to be-
come musty, is about the worst
possible vessel to keep apples in.
A cheap remedy for grape rot is
to begin early in the season and
scatter air Stacked lime over the
whey yard, busting not only the
ground but the vinee. It should
be repeated at least once a month,
or after each rain.
In choosing eggs for Matching
let them be of unlform size. Avoid
tthose from pullets, as the chicks
will be weak. Eggs having doub-
lie yolks are Of no value. A hen
that se4ls her nest is generally
fortunate in Matching a good per-
centage. This may, in a measure
be attributed to the fact that bel
eggs are uniform in size.
Where fine stock is kept barbeo
wire should not be used; but if any
pasture is now fenced with thai
destructive material, by blowing {
furrow or two around the pasture
inside the fence the danger will no
be half SO great as without. The
stock will be able to distinguish
the line at night and thus avoie
being horribly mangled and per
haps killed.

A hen shonld be set in dark
quiet place. with plenty of water

A mixture OF lard and kerosene,
in equal parts, rubbed on the legs Of

weeks will cure scalp legs. Try it.
Eggs for Matching purposes will,
keep for a month or ever six weeks
at this season. Simply place them
where you can turn them half over
three times week, and lay them on
their sides. They must be kept
cool but not where tney will freeze.
A temperature ranging anywhere
from 30 to so degrees will answer
but the main point is TO turn them
regularly. Do not use fat clumsy
males in the yard if you desire fer
tile eggs. A medium size, active
male is twice as valuable as one
that is large and extra heavy. II
large size and weight are desired,
select large hens, but the male
should be active. and vigorous.

HOW to LiUe Iona.

The London Standard says on
this point: "Men nr women who
intend to be centenarians in these
days must combine something of
the old mode of life with something
of the new mode of living, They
must, while availing themselves
of all the scientific discoveries aud
sanitaries applications of the age,
initiate their grandsires in the
steady and Tranquil habits that
prevailed before the invention of
locomotives and the telegraph.
They must have the eight hours Of
SLEEP. regularly; they must have in
teryals of repose and vacancy in
the day time; they must spend q
goodly portion of their waking
hours in open air. Nor will that
suffice; there will have to be regu-
larity in the hours of their meal
and discipline in the ordering Of
the dishes OF which the meals are
composed. We cannot believe that
any body will ever live to 100 who
eats heavy dinner every night
at 8 O'clock. Champagne abun

deliberately set before them the at

view would the active lite Of o pol
itician, a lawyer or doctor be

that Distant goal there must be a
training, if not severe, az least rsg-
ular and unfinching. Most of all
there must prevail in the existence
OF such a person, o tranquil seren-
ity, an unruflled calm. Neither
generous passions nor enthusiastic
ideals must be allowed admittance.

beyond certain point, either by
work, by anxiety, by fear or by
hope. At the same time, mere
stagnation will, in all probability.
