C0torrh in Animals.

Catarrh in any animal is the result
of cold which the Inflammation has
become chronic and purulent. In this
case it is more than skin deep, because
the absorbed matter has made the
blood impure, and this impurity must
be gotten rid of. A dose of four ounces
OF epson salts will begin this purifying
process, and a fourth of a dram of
chlorate of potash daily will continue
it, and in month will probably COM
plete it. A little powder of the chlo-
rate blown into the nostrils daily will
hasten the cure. This is for q small
animal as pig, for a COW, or horse, !
four times as much should be given.
But at times, disordered stomach
caused by indigestion will produce all
the symptoms of catarrh, and while
the treatment above will serve equally
we'll for such case, yet a change of
feed and reduced quantity will be
necessary.

Growing Beet Seed,

The seed of no garden vegetable is
more easily grown than that of the
beet It is sold wholesale very cheap
~, but every farmer should, SO far as
possible, grow beet seed for his own
use. Select well-shaped, not over
large specimens for seed. Those who
grow beet seed largely for sale plant a
late CROP which is forced to grow
rapidly by high manuring and good
cultivation. The idea that because a
long. slow grown root will seed abund-
antly, it is as good as any for seed, is a
great mistake. Seed from such roots
rapidly degenerates, and, in a few
years, will grow plants that run to
seed the first season.

Silk must never be ironed, as the

Shoes that are worn regularly, If
cared for, will last much longer than
it neglected. A French kid shoe, if
kicked around on the closet floor or
under the bed, will not last as long or
look as we'll as one of inferior quality
if properly cared for. When shoes
are taken off they should be wiped
with soft cloth, and, after airing q
little while, oiled or polished and put
in a box by themselves or in a shoe
bag, and when wanted for use can be
taken out ready for wear. It Is not
advisable to use much of the dressing
so fashionable for ladies' and children's
shoes, as most Of them crack the

Delicately colored goods Of any kind
should never be washed without q

be exercised in reference to materials
which are likely to shrink when i'm

No building on the farm pays better
than good Toulouse. 1t should be
so convenient of access that there need
be no excuse for leaving farm imple-
ments exposed to the weather when
not used. Properly cared for, many
implements that now last only a few

as the farmer lived to need them. Be.

farms tools are SO much injured by
being left out of doors that after the
first season they cost more for repairs
than they save in labor.

F0rmers' Wives.

1eTHdpS t0o farmers Vile Is not an
object of pity; perhaps no more is re-
quired of her than any other woman
might do. but it cannot be denied that
she is expected to do very great deal.
The farmer of to-day is intelligent; he
likes to attend big Grange meetings
and Farmers Institutes; he likes to
take his wife along with him; he likes
to see her dress stylishly and her hair
as neatly arranged as the dress and
hair OF any other mans wife. Should
they be obliged to take the baby along,
she is expected to take care of it; he
wants to listen to the speeches, and he
couldn't keep it still any way. so there
Is no use of trying. Should there be a
dinner connected with the meeting,
his wife must furnish her share of
light biscuit, frosted cake, etc.; she
must also help to set the table and
pour the coffee. Should she be called
on to make speech. her husband Is
gratified to hear her read well-written
essay. and does not like it
1t she cannot at least make
q graceful excuse. If she has the
least musical talents, she is wanted to
play the organ or help sing. It is not
necessary to add that this same farm
er likes to see his house neatly kept
his food well served, his children clean
and in state of good repair; all that
goes without saying. Should guests
visit their home, he expects his wi fe
to regale them with savory repast,
and also to entertain them with we'll
chosen conversation. Should fin
gers be stiff with hard work, he re-
quests his wife to write his letters for
him; and should she be skilled in
arithmetic, there is no reason why she
should not keep his accounts.
By the way, why is it that our girls
are so much better educated than our
boys? It is because the father keeps
his sons out of school whenever he
needs their help, while the mother al
lows her daughter to go, even through
doing her daily work without her in
wolves working half the night too.

The Judiciary.

Since the adjournment of the Leg
islature in 1888 the people have been
talking of many needed changes and
reforms in the organic laws of our
State. Now that the Legislature will
soon convene it is urgent and proper
that the changes deemed necessary
for the more oconomicalgovernment of
Louisiana, should be presented to the
Legislature. The necessity of amend

acting new ones is for the purpose

evils and also TO. new ones, which ex-
perlence has demonstrated the neces-
slty for more stringent and conserva.

The first change should be the total
abolition from the judiciary machinery
of the State of that burdeusome and
useless limb, the Circuit Court. There
would be at once lifting of part OF
