Tuning rooms is the perfumed oil
sold by the lamp dealers for use in
the high lamps of the drawing-room.
Another is the use of cut glass fiagons
filled with aromatic and combustible
fluids. and fitted with wicks and
burners, which, kept constantly burn
ing, add religious suggestion as we'll
as a fragrant atmosphere to the room.
Then there are large atomizers in
fine glass or porcelain, and mounted
in gold or silver, from which at any
time cooling and odorous spray can
be sent through a drawing-room.
Secured in any way you will, your
apartments must be filled with per-
fume.
Two acres is more than one man
can properly cultivate in the crops
that pay best, yet there are many in
stances in which one man cultiyates
forty acres or more. 1t is possible for
an individual to spread manure on
one or two acres, but he could not
do so on forty. The land that pays
best is that upon which the manure
can be applied to the best advantage.
1t is waste Of labor to attempt to
cultivate more land than can be cul-
tivated well.
Oyster Outlets are now seasonable.
Boil twelve oysters in their own liq-
uor for about two minutes; drain,
chop the oysters and put one gill of
the liquor over the fire in saucepan.
Rub together one ounce of butter and
two even tablespoonful Of flour. Stir
into the boiling oyster liquor until
you have a smooth, thick paste. Add
the yolk of one egg, the chopped oys-
tiers and a teaspoonful of finely chop
ped parsley. Mix, add a palatable
seasoning of salt and pepper and turn
out to cool. When cool form into
four outlets and roll as croquettes for
frying.
1t is always amusing to see the
pride which man who has changed
his scrub stock for thoroughbreds
takes in his animals and it is be-
cause the thoroughbred excites such
feelings that furnishes one reason why
we so earnestly recommend thorough
breds. \ man always makes more
money out Of thing that he is proud
of than he does out of something that
he Is ashamed Of.
1t may surprise some farmers to
be informed that sheep can be
made to reach a live weight Of over
400 pounds, yet such is the fact.
As high as 425 pounds have been
reached by an Oxford ram, and 800
pounds is not considered unusual as
an average for some choice hocks.
Yet our sheep that reach the markets
seldom weigh over 125 pounds.
Once more listen to this fact : We
have less pounds in our cattle, as a
whole, in the spring than at the be-
ginning Of winter, principally be-
cause there 50 many cattle that do
not have proper shelter.
All through the day you may now
see great piles Of coal lying along
the street. People are preparing
to keep warm during the winter.
Are we making a similar preparation
for the comfort of our animals? If
that stable and shelter are not fixed
up now, they will likely go through
the whole winter without fixing.
Whenever trees are to be set make
the holes large enough to receive the
roots without cramping. If one has
ground enough to set a tree in he
has ground enough to make the hole
large enough.
A good way to remove ink stains
from carpets is to sprinkle salt over
the soiled spots and pour on boiling
water; do it several times, if neces-
sarv.
For cleaning windows and mirrors
one of the best things is plain soft
water and chamois leather, having a
dry channels leather as well to polish
with afterward.
When it is fully recognized that one
of The first and highest righ's Of the
baby is to have bottle of DR.. Bulls
Baby Syrup. there will be more rest
