scatter lime literally over the ground.
Cut out all of the old wood from cur.

Recent tests indicate that London

All Innings should be carefully basted
on goods before the pieces Of skirts or
waists are put together. Long stitches
in basting skirts-or any part except
the waist-give better satisfaction than
short ones.
A bruise may be hindered from dis
coloration either by the instant appH-
cation of hot water, Or by using lit
tie dry starch OR arrowroot merely
moistened with cold water, and placed
on the injured part.
A dark flannel skirt should be worn
every day for winter, and moreen one
of some neutral tint for summer, so
that white skirts need not be washed
and lroned every week, Or worn out by
frequent laundering.
Every cow on the farm should be
carefully tested and her value for milk
ascertained, as it is easily possible
where Il number OF COWS are kept. to
have part of them making up the profit
that the others should make.
DR.. Collier, of the New York Ex-
pertinent Station, is authority for the
statement that saving of one cent a
day upon the dairy COWS of New York
is over SIS, 100000 a year This shows
the Importance of economy in feeding.
A very important item in securing a
good supply of milk at a low cost, is
good pasturage, and no matter what
breed is selected, good pasturage must
| be secured, at least during the grow
ing season, to be able to realize the
largest profit.
A prominent horticulturist states
that placing tomato leaves around the
trunks Of trees, and also by sprinkling
roses and cabbages with decoction
prepared by sleeping tomato leaves in
water, insects did not disturb them.
This is worthy trial.

Giving Shape to Feet.

Every one, but especially children,
should wear properly fitting shoes, no
mater how common their material.
They should be neither too large nor
TOO small, and should have low, fiat
heels that must be promptly '.righted"
as soon as they begin 10 wear to
one side. If the toes of the foot show
q tendency to overlap they
should be rubbed with the hands once
or twice each day; and if this care
be given when the curving com
mences, it will. as a rule, prove suffi-
eient to correct any irregularities of
this nature. If a nail is hayward in
Its growth, trim it only lightly at the
Aling corner, but fully at the opposite
corner. If both corners grow too
deeply into the flesh, clip them care
fully and lightly, and then scrape
the centre of the nail from the tip to
near the root until it is thin and fexi-
sble. This process seldom fails to cor
rect refractory nails-provided, of
course, they are not neglected too

The harrow is a valuable instrument
TO use after the corn is planted. Our
Western farmers are learning this
every year, and the implement is com
dng into more general use for this pur-
pose than ever before. The roller
should follow close after the planter,
and the harrow should not be far be-
hind the roller. After these two
implements have done their work the
ground is fined and compacted over
the seed, the danger of baking is re-
>duced to a minimum, and no danger
may be expected from showers. If the
eheck-row system has been adopted
fhe open rows will soon be turned into
deep channels for the running waters,
sud considerable damage may be done
fao this way. The roller and harrow,
Rowever, prevent running waters from
collecting in any such burrows. 1t
Bowels the ground more than anything
else can, and a great deal Of good is
accomplished by having the field free
from holes, burrows and marks. 1t is

most good, and the policy of stopping

already planted may be recommended
IN many cases. A great deal of the
success depends upon keeping the top
soil in proper condition to resist the
effects Of drought and sudden rains.

Freaks Made to Order.

Freaks for museums are now made
to order, says Snowman. Give me
an hours time, and I can rig up an
electric man for any person in the city.
All that is necessary is to fasten two
large brass or iron plates to the floor
and attach them to an electric battery.
Any person will answer for the man.
provided he stands on one of the
plates and allows every body that steps
on the other plate to shake hands with
him, thus completing the circuit.
Slate-writing in theaters is done with
the aid of confederate or two in the
audience. The message is written on
one side of the slate, which is carefully
covered with a piece of clean, dry
black rubber looking like slate, which
fits very closely, and protecting the
writing from the damp rag which is
passed over it to make the audience
think that no writing exists. The per-
former then steps in to the auditorium
and asks somebody to suggest. a SEN
tence. The confederate is the first to
respond, and his question is chosen.
An answer to this is, of course, written
on the slate already and carefully COW
cred with the rubber. A board is next
securely fastened to the. frame side of
the slate with cord, and the per-
former then takes the whole affair on
the stage aud unfastens the board, be-
ing careful to remove the rubber at
the same time, thus allowing the peo-
pie to see the writing. All other tricks
are just as simple, but on account of
their simplicity nobody can easily
catch on to the way theE are executed.

Solid floors For stables.

Manure is now of so much more i'm
portance than formerly that the saw
ing by use of stable floors with wide
cracks, through which the manure
teaches, is not to be compared with
the resulting loss. The very best
floor is one Of cement, and if under a
barn, where it can be protected against
frost, it will last Indefinitely. Many
old barns have under them the leach
ings of years, and this, if cleared out,
will pay a considerable part of the
expense for putting a wall under the
frame and a cement floor on the bot

Sterilized Milk.

The Dahl process OF sterilizing milk
has recently been introduced into Lon
dor. Fresh milk is placed in cans
which are Theoretically sealed, then
heated and cooled alternately until the
germs are destroyed. The milk can
then be kept for years without losing
Its freshness or failing to yield cream
OR butter. 1t has been found useful on
steamers; but it is likely to find it's
way into the nursery, and the kitchen,
too, if, as it is claimed, all danger of
injection is avoided by its use.-Cas-

one that the. farmer can grow. Heavy
