CURE FOR 4 BROKEN LEG.

By the use of modern remedies almdt
any Injury to an animals limb may Re
repaired. Broken legs can be mendgd
in the following manner: The animal>is is
placed in sings so that the body can be
supported IN such a position that the feet
just touch the ground without bearing
any weight. The sling is made of some
strong bagging sewn firmly on to two
poles in such manner tina. the cloth
passes under the body, leaving the udder
free, and is held in place by q strap
around the neck and between TIE fore
legs, and another around the breech to-
prevent slipping. The limb is brought
into position and bandaged with strip
Of gunny bagging around the broken
part. Other strips are then dipped in
plaster of paris, calcined for use in
.plastering, and made into thin paste.
These are wound around the leg eight
or ten times, and then covered with q
dry bandage which is ,sown together.
The bandage must not be wound so tight
ly as to interfere with the circulation. In
ON hour or two the bandage becomes
'quise stiff, and holds the fractured limb
firmly. In three weeks it may be re-
moved, but the animal should be kept in
the slings week or ten days longer, un-
til the union of the bone becomes firm.

CARROTS FOR HORSES.

Carrots contain a small proportion of
moisture and more nutr1ment than most
other roots. They are good for COWS or
horses, but seem to be especially adapted
for the latter. Horse owners who can
do so should grow carrots, and those
who have not the proper land should
buy enough carrots to give a ration
every day through the winter. Give
half as many oats as usual, and make up
the deficiency with equal bulk or car
rots, and most horses during winter will
improve in appearance. The carrots
give the animals sleek coat, probably
by helping the digestion. 1t is diet of
exclusively dry feed that makes the hair
of many idle horses in winter dry and
harsh. If the horse is working he will
need the full ration of oats, but should
be given ration of carrots beside each
day.-Boston Cultiuator.

OUNCES IN PLACE OF APPLES.

Ounce marmalade, in good generous
stone jars, will take the place of apple
sauce to very considerable extent.
Baked ounces make good relish, but
ounce pie may be hailed as discovery.
There are two good ways of making it,
and either makes fine pie. .: .~...
One way is to rub the ounces thor
oughly with soft cloth, but do not pare
them. Halve and remove the cores, then
slice them very thin and then sprinkle
rather literally with granulated sugar.
Bake between two crusts in moderate
oven. As with apple pie, cream is
luxury.
Another is to pare and core the ounces
and stew gently with little water until
thoroughly cooked. Sift through a
colander and add half the quantity OF
sugar. Bake in one crust of rich pastry,
when almost done cover with meringue
made of the we'll beaten whites OF four
eggs md four to six large tablespoonfuls
of pulverized sugar. This makes hand
some and delicious pie.-Country Gsntkss

REARING TURKEYS.

Turkeys have the name Of being deli
cate and difficult to raise, in consequence
of which they are not often kept
where they might be with advantage.
In suitable place turkeys are one Of the
most profitable of all domestic poultry.
They are undoubtedly delicate if kept
on damp soil, but where the ground is
dry and the position not too exposed they
will do we'll. A necessity to securing
success is the provision of shelter for the
young birds during that critical period
known as "shooting the red" When
about two months old, however the chicks
are as hardy as other fowls and can brave
the weather without injury. The prices
obtained for prime turkeys and the heavy
weights to which they can be forced to
grow render them exceedingly profitable
and we'll repay the extra care attendant
on the chicks during the first two months
of their lives. .. ..s.f
I The varieties of turkeys recognized by
the American standard of perfection are
bronze, Narragansett, buff, slate, black
and white. The black turkey approaches
most nearly to the wild bird in color, is
the most rapid, in growth, quickest to
fatten, and, according to some authorities,
the heaviest of all. The Narragansetts
and whites are the most domestic.-Mea0

The Rife That Killed Custer.

! OF all my relics there is one that ]
prize most highly, and that I would not
part with for any price, says General
Miles. Not that its intrinsic value is
much, but it is priced for the associa.
tions that surround it, and the important
part it once played in the history of the
United States. 1t is only q common
rifle, but it belonged to that noted
Indian Chief, Rain-in-the-Face. the
slayer of General Custer.
, Now you will understand why prize
that old gun SO highly. Two years after
that memorable and fatal battle of the
Big Hcrn, in which the brave Custer and
all his men we're killed by Rain-in-the-
Face and his reds, that proud Chief sur
rendered to me. At that time Rain-in-
tthe-Face was fine-looking man, and
i thought, as I looked at him, that he
was q good specimsn of the ideal red
man of Cooper's portrayal. Well
dressed and proud, he stood erect and

CREAM OF RICE.

Pearl barley, cracked wheat, sago or
rice can be used for this soup; either is
to be picked over, washed in cold water,
put over the fire in thick saucepan
which cannot burn and boiled long
enough to reduce it to soup, with milk
and water; as the grain softens it may
be Heated to pulp with fork, or rubbed
through colander with potato -masher,
the object being to make soft, smooth
paste of the cereal preferred; sufficient
time should be allowed for boiling to
accomplish this result, as without it the
soup would be failure. To this pulp
add enough hot milk to make creamy
soup; season it with salt, pepper and the
least grating of a nutmeg, and serve it
hot. This is very good breakfast for
invalids and children, or for supper when
the days work has not been hard. A
few raisins improve it as a supper por-
ridge.-RouscUJs.

SALTED ALMONDS,

This method of salting almonds has
proved perfectly successful: Select Jor-
dan almonds-the paper-shell almond
is not rich enough or large enough for
this purpose. 'Blanch them. This is
done by throwing them into boiling
water for two minutes, then into cold
water and rubbing the skins off with a
rough towel or the hands. Rinse them
we'll and dry them. For every pint of
nuts add two tablespoonfuls of the best
olive oil. Stir the almonds in the oil
and let them stand two or three hours,
then add two tablespoonfuls of salt, and
set them in a clean tin baking dish in
the oven, stirring them every five min
utes till they are crisp and brown. 1t
will take about twenty minutes. Serve
them in the prettiest small shallow dishes
of porcelain or silver that you have. The
new dishes to hold sailed almonds and
bon-bons for the table are made with
open-work or pierced borders.-Nea

Simple Explanation Of Gravitatiol

Simple Explanation Of Gravitation.
Gravitation is subject that nearly
everybody is somewhat familiar with,
but there are some things about it that
you may not know. For instance, sup
pose you were weighed at the top of q
deep coal mine, and afterward at the
bottom, do you suppose that there would
be any difference IN the result2 Yes,
there would. You would be lighter at
the bottom. If it were possible for you
to 90 on downward 1000 miles in the
earth, and there be weighed you would
probably be surprised to find your weight
only one-half of what it was at the sur
face; and if you could go to the center
of the earth you wouldn't weigh an
ounce. ... &C..
This is because the center Of the earth
is the center of its attractive power,
which is exerted equally IN all directions.
If you ascend from the surface of the
earth, your weight will also decrease,
but not in the same ratio as when you
descend. In going upward the decrease
will be in proportion to the square of the
distance. Thus, while you would weigh
nothing if you should 60 downward 1000
miles from the surface, you would still
weigh one-fourth your actual weight if
you could weigh yourself 1000 miles up
in the air.
The law of gravitation is at once the
strangest and the most sublime IN all
nature. Light travels at the amazing
rate Of 1856, 600 miles in asecond. There
are visible stars so far away that if one
were blotted out at this instant it would
be seen on the earth thousands of years
hence, because rays of light, starting
now, would take so long to reach us, even
at the wonderful velocity at which they
travel. But if new star were now
placed out there in the depths of space,
where the blotted out one was, its at
tractive force would reach us instantly.
That strange force which dominates the
universe would at once be felt, though,
of course yinappreciably, between the new
star and our earth.
Gravitation differs from all other forces
in another respect. The Intervention of
bodies in the line of attraction makes no
difference in the attractive force exerted.
For example, when the moon comes into
direct line between the earth and the
sun, thereis not the slightest difference in
the reciprocal attraction between the two
former. The enormous power OF this
attractive force is utterly inconceivable.
We are constantly reminded of the power
the earth exerts in pulling US downward,
but think of the attractive power OF a
body like the SUD, more than million
times larger than the earth. And this
power controls every speck of light
that we see in the heavens.-Philadel-
phia Times.

PRACTICAL DEHORNING.

Dehorning is coming into general
practice in the West. Whoever has seen
dehorned cattle confined in small yard
and eating like sheep out of one rack,
or gathered together in groups for mu-
tual protection from flies or cold, cannot
but admit thasdeberning is successful.
There is no pushing the weaker ones to
the outside nor gashing them with sharp
horns. Thsfset that cow does not
shrink anYfM hmnk and goes right to
eating as so6A asi& loose, seems pretty
good evideats3 3thW it is not such a pain
ful or craefgpfactice as many imagine.
The largest a0fass scan be cut off in thirty

them iASss5febnds. Another method
isl to tfevea HE growth of the horns.
II AXE Ynssnf1 ives when they are one to
thresweskA1f, wet the horn spots with
watsf f 18th a stick of caustic potash
fub the sness until the hair begins to
loosen lana fome off of the horn spots.
The peeu{iaf action of the potash stops all
growth of the horn and is not a very
painful operation. Protect the fingers
by wrapping the stick in paper.
The practice of dehorning cattle we
believe to be beneficial as we'll as hu-
name to the cattle. When the horns are
taken eff, cattle lose all desire to fight
and drive each other around. They will
dc better in droves and can be confined
with far dreater safety in small yards and
sheds, and will eat and herd together
much likl le sheep. They do not require
so much feed in winter to keep them
warm, and in summer will keep together
all protect themselves from flies. Bulls
With their horns off are not so vicious
,ehd cannot do so much damage. Ia
fisiting the fairs this fall it was COM
mon sill ght to see droves of cattle come in
in which some of them had gashes three
to six! inches long from being hooked,
and others had torn their horns off in
fighting. This hurt the cattle far more
than 1T would to cut the horns off. There
are many other advantages to be derived
from taking off the horus, and one would
be t be great saving of life to both man
and animals. .-NeU England Homestead.

Arab Wrestlers.

There was fine exhibition Of strength
of the Arabs at wrestling match IN a
valley around which the mountains rose
gradually, forming natural amphithea-
ter, says a recent writer. Here a large
audience sat on the rocks overlooking
the space below. The rival tribes were
seated at each end of the valley, while
their chiefs walked proudly up and down
in front of them. Then one of the
chiefs would call out champion and
challenge rival. The two would throw
off their cloaks and rush at each other,
and wrestle until one would get his head
under the body of the other, and with
great force, throw his adversary in the
air over his back. Sometimes after q
desperate struggle the chiefs would have
to separate them; they being equal;
neither one being able to throw the
other.
