A Mothers Advice to Girls. !

There is q thing OF which want to
speak, that is, of the behavior OF girls
towards young men who are not lovers
but simply friends. Let me tell you
plainly that our sex were not meant to
be wooers. The custom, prevalent
among certain class of young ladies' OF
asking directly or indirectly the atten-
t1ons Of young gentlemen is not COM
mendable. I'm = son" said Lady to
me not 10 g since, sis much prejudiced
against young girl whom 1 adore, be-
cause she is constantly sending him
notes inviting him to be her escort
here and there and planning to have
him with her." A modest and dignl-
fed reserve, which is neither prudery
nor afectation, should distinguish your
demeanor to gentlemen. Too great fa-
miliarity, and too evident pleasure IN
the society OF young men are errors IN,
to which no delicate and pure-mlnded
girl should fall-Sezected.

SMUT IN WHEAT.-Smut IN wheat
was once great cause of loss and COM
plaint, and it was found that the smut
increased when smutty seed was used.
found by making a strong brine with
blue yitriol dissolved in it, putting 1t III
a tub large enough to hold tight bas-
ket in which the seed wheat was placed
the wheat stirred and skinned, and
then raised out Of the brine and allow
ed to drain, when it was pouredrous or
put in bags and so remained twelve to
twenty-four hours, and then sown IN
the usual manner. never found this
to fail as a remedy in wheat. The
strong brine was useful to float out light
and probably diseased grains, and also to
perfectly introduce the vitriol to all the
grains Of wheat. Two years ago, think
ing Of this, I poured my corn on tne
door and poured among it solution OF
blue vitriol and gave it good stirring.
But it will be seen that that way OF
applying the yitriol did not surely
reach every grain. The result was
much less smut than in former years.

The GENERAL PURPOSE cow
This long-mooted question is still re-
ceiying attention. One writer-Who
evidently favors the Holsteins-says it
Is a we'll known fact that if you want
to breed trotters you must employ sires
and dams with trotting pedigrees. If
you want good cows for mIlk, you must
breed from animals having a good milk
pedigree, and the same Is true IN regard
to butter and beef. Now, if we can
breed good butter cow, good milk
cow. and a cow that will make good
beef, why can we not, by combining
these elements, get a cow that would be
a general purpose coaos The Holstein
combines beef. butter and milk more
strongly than can be found in any 9th
er breed Of cattle now extant.

FARM NOTES.

TIE PROPER CARE OF A COLT.-We
win start with the sucking at the day
of its birth, and presume that it is OF
good parentage, both sire and dam, that
It is sound and able to stand and walk
within fifteen minutes after it breathes.
at the age of week most farmers
come to work the dam and let the suck
ling follow around as best he can, and
at the the age of four months. tie colt
icing then of sufficient age to wean, the
dam has performed good summers
work, worked just as hard as her geld
ing mate with no colt. This method
is entirely wroag. The heated blo,'d,
tiresome labor Of both mare and colt IS
really killing both.
The mare and colt during the first
four. five or six months should be kept
IN good pasture where there is plenty OF
GOOD water and shade. While it may
he practicable to wean the colt at four
.nonths, we certainly prefer six, and
how comes the most important period
of the entire five years OF the COLTS
growth, and if starved or stunted the
6rst winter it never fully RECEIVERS. Not
only tie size, but the whole frame OF
the animal is injured, never to be re-
gained.
The colt should be fed on plenty OF
good, c:ean hay, plenty Of water at all
times, and We would give half and halt
of ground oats and wheat bran twice a
day, about two quarts at mess. we
give this dry, but if scalded and then
cooled it will be better. A well-to-do
farmer told me once this would be too
much; I think he was right for the first
week or two but certainly not for the
cold winter days. nor the spring g.either.
I asked him what damage it would DO;
his answer was too rapid growth. He
had previously told me that he would
treat a colt as he would boy. l asked
him If be ever knew too big growth OF
boy, but to this there was no answer.
The colt should have warm place to
protect himself from cold weather and
storms, bed Of dry straw or dust TO
sleep upon, or to lie down at pleasure;
he must not be confined to the stable,
but have yard; or, better still, an
open field to run in; in no case should
he be allowed to stand on hard floor.
