Hints to Housekeepers.

The following is sure cure for tet-
tet or salt rheum: Take some good
strong vinegar, put into it enough gun
powder to make it as thick as cream,and
apply this mixture frequently or hold
the afflicted parts in it.
IT is good plan to keep quantity
of sifted flour in the pantry, ready for
the making of biscuits, cake, or pie, SO
as to be prepared if they are wanted in
a hurry, as in case of company coming
and remaining to meal.
WHEN ammonia water has been drank,
vinegar and water should be given
freely and on he instant. This may be
followed by copious acid drinks, lemon
ade, orange juice, etc. A generous dose
of sweet oil will also be useful; ice
freely employed will somewhat control
the inflammation, and opium will be
needed to subdue the pain.
You can wash out the chamois leath-
ers that are apt to get stiff and hard and
soiled. Make solution of weak soda
and warm water, rub plenty of soft soap
into the leather, and allow it to remain
in soak for two hours, then rub it we'll
in until it is quite clean. Afterward
rinse it we'll in a weak solution COM
posed of warm water, soda, and yellow
only, for then it would be so hard when
dry as to be unfit for use. 1t is the
small quantity of soap left in the
leather that allows the finer particles
of the leather to separate and become
soft like silk. After rinsing wiring ii
we'll in rough towel and dry quickly,
then pull it about and brush it we'll, and
it will become softer and better than
most new leather.

THE STOCK RANCH.
The Thoroughbred,

A Michigan exchange, in writing of
this horse says: Let us look at the
thoroughbred apart from his qualities
as a race horse. In form he is IL model
OF strength aud allied with beauty. His
courage Is equal to any emergency, and
his gameness will make him struggle to
the death. His bone is the densest and
hardest given to any breed, his tendons
and muscles the strongest and most
elastic. He is bred so as to make him
the most prepotent of all domestic ami
mails. There is no one conycrsant with
the various breeds of horses who will
not acknowledge the thoroushbredto be
possessed of these qualities to greater
degree than any other family of the
horse. And here is where his true use
fulness lies. The qualities bred in him
for q century and u half he has the
power of imparting to his progeny to a
wonderful degree. To the fourth gem
Grafton his blood will assert itself He
can be used, therefore. to give TO other
families OF the horse the qualities for
which he is noted and which they lack
And nearly every breed of any promi-
nence owes something to the thorough
bred. The French Coacher is nearly
thoroughbred, as his pedigrees pub
lished by the importers conclusively
show. The Cleveland Bay derives his
best qualities from the same source.
The truly American horse, the Morgan,
is largely Thoroughbred in it's origin,
and when we come to the American trot-
ter, consider how much he owes to the
fountain to which the others are somuch
indebted. Take out Messenger, Diomed
and Trustee, all imported English thor
oughbreds, and where would the Amer
lean trotter stand? Take the trotting
families of to-day, Hambletonians,
Clays, Membrinos, Golddusts, Pilots,
and Morgans, and does anyone be-
lieve it possible that they would be what
they are day without the help of the
thoroughbred? 1t is the source to which
to look for the highest speed and cour.
age, the most intelligence and the long
est lived of all the families of the
horse.
"The system of breeding which has
made the thoroughbred what he is, is
being followed by the breeders of thu
American trotting horse, with the addee
advantage, through the extension of tn,
art of printing, of having the records O
their work imperishabiy preserved. TIL,
trotter is every day getting nearer to tn
thoroughbred in its ability to impart it
special qualities to it's progeny, an,
when it has reached that point it will
have got close to its ultimate limit. Yes
We like the thoroughbred, and we hav

was intended for the carriage, the plo'
or the road. Why should we not admir-

His Answer Came Promptly.

A young lady was once present at a
musical party where the lion of the
evening was celebrated flute player.
After he had performed, this Young lady
was presented to him, and there was a
general silence in the room, which
added to her natural embarrassment.
She felt that she must say something
pleasant, so with happy smile she ex-
claimed
ooh, how delightfully."- you play! Do
you ever accompany yourself on the
piano?"
The artist looked at his flute, then at
his fingers, shrugged his shoulders,
bowed low and said,-
Never"
After moment the young lady saw
why everybody laughed.

THE DAIRY.
Dairy Notes.

DON'T neglect the incoming cows.
IF your cows are not paying for their
board turn them OFF.
WHAT kind OF a bull have you at the
head OF your dairy herd?
In hot weather the churning should
be done about the time some butter
makers set the cream away to sour.
If YOU have heifers that are milking
from their first calves, let them be fresh
mixers again year from October. 1t

THE best of COWS, the richest of cream,
the newest of machinery, and the hand

butter. if the "knack" of combining all
these has not been learned.
IFyou intend to build up dairy herd
it will pay you to feed your young helf-
ers something besides corn-give them
some oats. You will reap the good OF 1t
in their progress as we'll as in churn.
OUR own experience has been that
heifers coming in at two or thereabouts,

THE APIARY.
To Divide and Introduce Queens.


DR.. M. r. Cullison, of Abel, Iowa,
contributes the following to the West
ere Bee Keeper:
When the hive is overlooking with
bees and honey coming in steadily, is
the best time to divide. 1t is also the
best time to introduce queens. AT least
for q beginner. Having everything in
readiness by noon of bright day, find
the queen in the stand that is to be
divided and place her along with the
frame and adhering bees in the empty
hive. On either side of that frame fill
with the empty frames, orwhatever kind
is to be used, and place the honey board
and the supers from the old hive over
them. This must now take the place of
the old stand, and all the bees from the
comb and hive shaken and brushed down
in front of this empty stand. Now re-,
brood, pollen and honey to its new loca-
ton. Cover it over carefully and warmly
and allow the queen to crawl in. II q
LAYING queen is not at hand virgin will
do. She will attend to the queen cells
if any are there. If, however, cell is
to be used some of the old bees should
be allowed to remain, and all but the
best cell cut out, or q nice one placed
in, as occasion require. If everything
is favorable, and increase very much de-
sired, both of these stands mag be di-
yided again in four or five weeks. Gen
orally, however. it would be better to
only make one out of the two. Use the
frame with the oldest and most brood
in them to make the new stand and al
low the queen to run in as before.
There are notifications of the above
plan that an experienced bee-keeper can
easily understand, but know of but one
other method by which novice can in
troduce queen without particle OF
risk.
After the queen has been in about two

Applying Commercial, Fertilizers.


There are some crops with which it
will often be found profitable to use
commercial fertilizers. Some crops will
derive larger amount of benefit from
them than others, and it is good plan
to use them in connection with such
crops.
There are two general plans for using,
or rather applying, One is before and
the other is after the seed is planted.
One plan, and under ordinary condi-
tiSns good one, is to have the soil in
good filth before marking out the rows,
then make the proper depth, depending
of course upon the variety of seeds to
be planted. If in hills, put small
quantity of fertilizer in the bottom of
the furrow and mix thoroughly with the
soil and then plant the seed on top of
this.
If in drills. it is usually done with
smaller plants, good plan is to scatter
along in the bottom of the burrows, and
stir we'll into the soil and then SOW the
seed and cover.
The other plan is to wait until after
the seed is planted and has terminated,
when the soil is stirred close around the
plants and small quantity OF the ferti-
lizer applied and worked into the soil.
OF the two plans, with what expert
ence have had, prefer the first, as it
places the fertilizer in q situation where
it will be of considerable help in secur-
ing a good start to grow. 1t is also
much less work to apply, and the work
can be done more thoroughly than to
work it into the soil after the plant is
up.
With all plants it is quite an item to
secure strong, vigorous start. II this
is secured, the work of keeping it up
will be much less than if at the start the
plants are stunted.-N. j. Shepherd.

corning our horse company convinces
me that others are moving in the same
way. AS imported horses are expensive,
brief summary of our experience may
be desirable, as our plan has stood the
test OF experience and no shares can be
bought at par. The company was
formed on the plan of having, as near
us might be, share for each mare
owned, and that each owner should be
expected 10 subscribe for as many shares
as he hadMares. The par value of the
share is S25. Proper officers We're

lows: For elch share owned, $3.50; for

for service was great, 1t was decreed
that outsidese should not be rem
dered whenit deprived shareholders of
service. THUS shareholders got lower
prices and service assured. Our COM
pany is so papularthat We could readily
increase Our capital stock if we desired
to do SO. Our constitution and by-l laws
reach every chse liable to arise, and are
SO adjusted that whether the membe,
owns one or six mares, or any other
number,the burden falls just in propor-
ton to what he owns. We now have
our horse paid for, and will begin to

man feels poorer than if he had not
