THE HOUSEHOLD.
Using the Teeth.

The law of deterioration from disuse
obtains with the teeth, as we'll as with
other things. The constant and regular
use OF them III maStlcatlng hard food
tends to make them continually grow
harder and stronger, and better able to
resist the influences that make for de-
cay, while, on the other hand, living on
soft food and neglect of masticatioA
makes them tender, sottens the enamel,
and renders them easily susceptible to
corroding effects. This IS sometimes
especially shown IN the case of people
after a long illness, who tindtheir teeth
tender and sore when they begin to re-
turn to a diet of solid hard food. A
dentist, speaking on this .ubiect. says:
Some men have healthy teeth all their
lives because they were given good,
hard food during infancy. That is the
period to begin to save the teeth. Moth
ers and nugses give children soft food.
utterly ignorant IN many cases OF
the result. Crusts and hard stuffs
should be given TO children as soon as
they can eat them. In this way the
teeth begin to grow healthy, and grad
ually harden with time and use. The
chewing gum girl gives her molars
plenty of wholesome and unwhoIesome
exercise. But chewing gum is not es-
peciany healthy, because only part of
the teeth are used. 1t is jaw exercise
more than anything else But in eating
hard, wholesome food all the teeth come
IN contact with the substance. Tobacco
chewing is not healthy for the teeth, b~-
cause the tobacco is generally placed in
one location, like chewing gum, and
there remains until thrown ont. The
Southern negroes have better teeth than
most any race, because they use them
from childhood mp in masticating hard
food.-GO0d H0usekeepiRg.

two markets or avenues for sale, the one
for fancy fowls for breeding purposes,
and the other the market for food sup

condition for table use.
SwELLED heads and eyes, hoarse breath

all signs OF roup. 1t is very difficult to
cure and is caused by exposure to cold
winds. damp weather and currents of
air in the poultry house. The remedy
that is best is to keep the birds in a dry,
warm place. Once a day annoint the face

ORANGE or lemon boxes are suggested
as convenient for nests. They can be
purchased for mere trihe, and each
box will make two nests. Put them on
d shelf under the roosts, lay them down
on the open side, with a lath, or anything,
to keep the straw in; then. when they
need cleaning, take them outside, build
a fire ans hold the box over the fire for
a short time. which will destroy nits,
lice, or anything else that should not
be there When they get too filthy, burn
the box, lice and all.

Good housekeeping consists III con-
tinual care for small things, which in
themselves are nothing, but in the total
make up the comfort of home life. 1t
is a simple matter to see that all the
house stores are on hand, that each
match box about the premises is filled,
that every room has a convenient recep-
tacle for matches. Yet the neglect of
so doing may cause some one, hunting

Cleaning Horses by steam Power.

The brush and cuwycomb are indis-
pensable littletc for cleaning horses;
but they involve the expenditure of so
much elbow grease that substitute
worked by steam is sure of favor. In
the Palmer House livery stables in
Chicago are steam brushes, cylinders in
form, and revolving on a stick which
may be held in the hand. With this the
operator passes rapidly over the horse,
making dust and hair fly at rate that
keeps the air thick. Two men work at
one horse, one on each side, and they

that surplus power collected from wind
mills or waterfalls may be kept con-

desired, cleaning horses or turning

An English veterinary surgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge of
horses, especially farm horses, should
be taught that the stomach of horse
is not like the rumen of a COW, mere
receptacle for food, but an essential or
gan of digeTt'g- of limited capacity,
which does not need to be crammed IN
order to perform its proper functions,
and that 1t cannot be so treated without
danger to the animal; that the teeth of
the horse are provided for the purpose
% masticatjng the food, and that the
food which does not require mastication
should be sparIngly, II ever, used. He
further recommends that no horse be
put TO work Immediately after a full
meal, and whore a horse has done a
heavy days work it should be allowed
to stand III the stable until 1t is cool
and comfortable before being fed. 4
little water may be given, and if little
good hay be pat into the rack it will
occupy his attention, and besides re-
quiring proper mastication will further
have the effect to slightly stimulate the
stomach to secretion, and prepare it for
the reception of the feed which is to
follow. Should It horse require more
TODD than usual to supply the extra
waste CT tissues caused by hard work,
give it by all means, but let it be IN ex-
cess in its albu ninoids, and let the
horse be fed ottener and not in increased
quantities at time.

THE FARM.
Heating of Cut Cornstalks,

Aost farmers know that cornstalks.
shough apparently dry, will heat when
cut ana slowed away in large heaps As
TINS IS usually done in cold weather the
heating does no injury, and it is rather
a benefit to the coarser portions. making
them softer and more readily eaten. In
such winter as the present the heating
may go too far and form mould, unless
the heap Is frequently turned over with
a barn-shoyel or dung fork with close
tlhes, such as IS used for shovelling
soil. Taking the cut stalks out warm
from the pile, COWS will eat them
heartily, especially if little meal is
added as an appetizer. 1t is better than
ensllage for cold weather.

AppIn NNnnl for IncI

In most old orchards there are some
trees that have become stunted, and ex-
cept with extraordinary attention Will
never pay their way. The better plan
Is to dig them out root and branch and
use them for fuel. The extra care con-
centrated on the remaining trees will
bring far larger returns. Most orchards
are planted much too closely for the
best results Where the tree was dug
out I'LL IN with rich dirt from the road

products how much they appreciate the

well, what IS it?'
You see, Ben got married about
three months ago. Purity good boy,
but inclined to be tricky. He married
a purity fair girl, but she's dreffuIly
ambitious. They cum home to live,
and about a month ago wanted men
the ole woman to deed over the farm to
them and be taken care of the rest of
our lives. We didn't like the idea, but
they hung to it, and so last week
made out deed and handed it over.

but I've got to laff or bust. Just tick

He went off into another fit. and
when he got his breath again he con-
tinued:
"This morning was the sixth day
since they got the deed. As, soon as
breakfast was over Ben said they'd
concluded to git along without our
valued company, and suggested that as
it was nine miles to the poorhouse we
