Purify
Your Blood

AT the coming OF spring the blood should be
purihed, as impurities which have been accumu-
lating for months or even years. are liable to
manifest themselves and seriously effect the
health. Hoods Sarsaparilla is undoubtedly the
best blood purifier. 1t expels every faint of i'm
purity, drives out scroiulous humors and germs
OF disease, and gives to the blood the quality and
tone essential to good health.
A Severe Case Of scrofuln.
my little daughters life was saved, as we
believe, by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Before she was
six months old scrofula sores began to appear on
different parts of her body, and in a short time
she had running sores. Two physicians were
called but they gave us no hope. One of them
advised the amputation of one of her fingers, to
which we refused assent. Our attention was
called to Hoods Sarsaparilla and we began Civ
ing it to her. A marked Improvement was noticed
after she had taken only one bottle, and by a
continued use of it her recovery was complete
And she is now, being seven years old, strong and
healthy. The other members of my family have
been greatly benefited by Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and recommend it as an excellent blood puri-

THE KITCHEN.
Culinary.

1t should be remembered that
quick boiling hardens meat and too
much water renders it tasteless. To
boil Reg of mutton an approved plan
is to put it into water that is boiling
fast and let it boil about five minutes,
the object being to harden the out
side and prevent the escape OF juices;
then add enough cold water to reduce
the temperature and when on the
point of boiling again skim it care
fully, then draw it TO one side of the
stove and let it simmer until done.

Advice to Housekeepers.

FISH may be scaled easier by first
dipping them into boiling water for a
minute.
MILK which has changed may be
renderd fit for use again by stirring in
little soda.
A TABLESPOONFUL of ammonia to a
teacupful Of water applied with a
rag will clean silver or gold jewelry.
WETTING the hair thoroughly once
or twice with solution of salt and
water will keep it from falling out.
CLEAR boiling water will remove
tea stains: pour the water through
the stain and thus prevent its spread
ing.
KEROSENE will soften boots and
shoes that have been hardened by
water, and render them pliable as
new.
PAINT stains that are dry and old
may be removed from cotton or wooden
goods with chloroform. First cover
the spot with olive oil or butter.
A TEAsPooNFUL of borax put into
the last water in which clothes are
rinsed will whiten them surprisingly.
Pound the borax so it will dissolve
easily.
A DisINFECTANT which combines
cheapness with general worth is found
in permanpanatn of notash. One
ounce will mako "a bucketful of disin-
fectant. 1t is crystal, and can be
kept in this state until ready for use.
CHARCOAL is recommended as an
absorber OF gases in the milk room
where foul gases are present. 1t
should be freshly powdered and kept
there continually.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
shipping Grapes.

When shipped from distant points
the best packages for grapes are cases
containing eighteen three-pound
boxes and covered baskets holding
ten or twelve pounds. All packages
should be filled so full that the cover
will draw down tightly on the con-
tents, holding them firmly in place,
but not SO as to bruise the fruit.
Nearby shippers also largely use the
covered baskets, and they are gener-
ally considered to be the most desir-
able package. Many shippers TO not
far distant points use fiat, wooden
boxes, with hinged cover, measuring
about twenty-one inches long, twelve
inches wide and five inches deep, and
holding twenty-five to thirty pounds.
These boxes have to be returned to
the seller, and many buyers object to
them for that reason and

Helpful: Points for norsemsn.

IT is better to take $500 for colt
when he is years old than to
keep him three years for 800 or $3.50
more.
WHILE the breeding Of horses is
greatly on the increase, and of
trotters especially, there is great
lack Of A No. l horses of all kinds.
HORSES that can trot in 2:40 or 2:30
are very plenty, but great number
Of them are not good road horses.
They may be understood, undesirable
in color, pullers or slow travellers or
vicious and waiting for an opportu-
nifty to run away and smash things
generally.
PROBABLY the fastest mare that
ever raised q colt is Mary Marshall,
2:123, and the colt is in training at
Independence, Ia. She is in foal
again TO Allerton, 2:09t, and if there
is anything in the theory that colt
from developed parents should go fast,
this colt ought to go faster than any
horse ever has.
BREEDERS are turning their atten-
tion more than ever to the fact that
horses bred for the track, but which
cannot trot fast enough, must be sold
for what they will bring. G. j. Ham
lin was the first large breeder to dem
Onstrate that horses could be bred
for size, beauty and color, and at the
same time get high speed.
THE standard colors are black, bay,
chestnut and sorrel. Bays and chest
nuts are always desirable. Black is
liable TO grow dingy, but glossy
black is very handsome. White
horses are too conspicuous and show
dirt very easily, but soap and water
will keep them clean. Many, admire
a roam horse. but the color does not
often affect the value Of an animal,
unless it is very bad.
In starting to raise a nice class OF
fast driving horses the foundation
must be well laid We must look to
the standard bred trotter to give us
all the points desirable, as no other
one breed contains so many for this
/ purpose. The mares must meet the
requirements, as nearly as possible,
that are desired in the colts. Mate
them with stallion which is indi-
vidually good and especially strong in
those points where the mares are
lacking.

would not be nearly so scarce and dear
as IL is, aud the improvement to
American Jersey stock from few
more years OF service from Stoke Pogis
III. can scarcely be estimated. The
dehorning process has now been prac-
ticed long enough to show that loss OF
horns does not injuriously affect AMI
mails either for fattening or dairy
purposes, nor does 1t lesson the valu-
able characteristics transmitted to
their progeny by dehorned bulls. 1t
Is likely indeed that as horns are bred
off cattle may be bred free from the
vicious propensities that the constant
use OF horns must stamp upon char
acter, and thus transmit TO future
descendants. -American Cultivator.

Raising Colts.

Keep good mares to do the farm
work with. Breed to draft
horse, and have them foal about the
lst OF May, as this is slack time in
the work and grass has good start.
Work the mare carefully up to foal-
ing time, and let her rest ten days af-
ter before going TO work again. Feed
mare and colt little once day, and
the colt will soon learn to eat. When
working the mare have the colt In
the stable. 1t will soon learn to stay,
is less bother, and it is better for the
colt than to follow the mare. Give
1t access to water twice day. Give
each colt and mare roomy box stall
and feed the colt by itself. Wean at
fire months old, give them good pas
ture and oats. Winter in loose
stall and let them have plenty of ex'
crcisc in the day. Keep up the oats
until they are year old, then turn

Moles as Grub Killers.

A Kansas correspondent tells in the
Farmers Review, that every investi-
cation goes to show the mole lives on
insects and starves on cereals and veg
etables. He calls attention 10 the
fact that when lawns are apparently
rendered unsightly by moles, if one
will cut a section Of the sod, he will
find the cause in quantities of white
grubs, the presence of the mole being
TO feed on this Larvae.
1t was Mr.. Lands who first came
TO the assistance of the mole. On his
ground at Vineland, n. j., he paid %
cents for all the moles sent to him.
He was ridiculed, but all knew that
his enterprise was great success. To
attack popular idea is unpopular,
and it takes long time TO make re-
form: the mole-trap will be sold.
Cultivate the mOles, and as soon as
will leave the lawn for other pastures.
Depend upon it, that whenever evil
dences OF the mole are found, there
you will find the white grub, con-
cludes the Kansas correspondent.

LIVE STOCK.
Horns Must Go.

Horns on domestic cattle no longer
serve any useful purpose, and to one
who views beauty only I'm usefulness
they are not even beautiful. West
ern farmers are now using what is
known as the Fugate machine for de-
horning mature animals. 1t is done
so quickly and neatly that there is no
longer any objection from cruelty in
the process ofgetting rid Of the horns.
The loss from maintaining useless
horns is not confined TO the injury
they do TO stock, though that is often
serious. There is always great dam
ger to and often loss OF life of attend
ants from vicious animals, and
especially from bulls. Stoke Pogis

progenitor of Jersey blood, but be-
