THE HOUSEHOLD.
Household Hints.

A KITCHEN grindstone that sits on the
table is not expensive and lasts genera
ton.
AFTER washing a wooden bowl place it
where it will dry equally on all sides,
away from the stove.
SALT extracts the juice from meat in
cooking. Steaks ought not therefore to
be sailed until they have been broiled.
ALWAYS remove the contents of tin
cans the moment they are opened 1t is
positively dangerous to leave canned
goods in the open air.
ONE can CRATE horse-radish without
very badly affecting the eyes, by grating
it in front of tth9 fire. Open the front
stove doors. Onion esan be peeled in the
same way.
SAVE all your broken and crooked car
pet lacks, and keep them in a box INF the
Kitchen for cleaning bottles They are
better than shot, for the sharp edges
scrape off all the stains.
SUET should be cooked before it is
stale. Boil for two or three hours, then
strain it through linen cloth. One
fourth of this fat and three-fourths lard
is a good mixture for frying dough outs.
To CLEAN porcelain saucepan$ fill
them half full of hot water, and PUT in
the water teaspoonful of powdered bo'
rax, and let it boil. If this does not re-
move all the stains scour the pans we'll
with cloth rubbed with soap AMID bo-
raX.
To KEEP lamp chimneys from break
ing put cloth in the bottom of large
pan, fill the latter with cold waters and
place the new chimney in it; cover the
pan and let it's contents boil one hour,
then take the pan from the fire and let
the chimney remain in the water until it
is cold

health any more than a foul-smelling
room would be of human beings
health. If a stable owner wants to
know the atmosphere that his horses
breath, let him be the first man in the
stable of a morning, when, unless his
power of scent is all but gone. he will
often have occasion to be Mortified at the
air his animals have to breathe. Free
ventilation may have tendency to cause
colts to stare but that is not half as bad
as to undermine horses health by max
ing him breathe foul air. Good light IS
likewise of great Importance in the
stable. Vegetation will die in the half
darkened room; it wants the suns rays
to keep up it's vitality; the trees in the
forest grow straight so as to obtain their
share of the light, and their lower
branches die off because the light does
not penetrate to them Is it reasonable
to suppose that animal life can be de-
prived of the vitalizing influences OF
light with impunity?

Twenty years ago the average trainer
believed that the time to break colt

Vow to Keep Eggs.

The egg begins to grow stale almost
as soon as it is laid, and the cause OF
many failures to preserve eggs perfectly
fresh, says the Farmers Monthly, is found
in the fact that decay set in before the
preserving began, and of course it con-
tinued in spite of efforts to arrest it. In
preserving eggs, therefore, take none
but those fresh from the nest. This is
the first rule to observe. The next is,
no matter what process you use, keep
the preserved eggs in the coolest dry
place possible; dampness will mould
them, heat will rapidly eyaporate their
natural moisture, and any process which
will keep them absolutely air tight will
keep them fresh for an indefinite length
of time. Among the countless methods
recommended is this one:
Take five quarts of rock salt, five
pounds of unslacked lime and a quarter
of pound Of cream of tartar; dissolve
in four pals of water, which makes suf-
fcient pickle for barrel of eggs Eggs
are always to be kept under pickle.

Stable Ventilation.

Nothing in the ordinary surroundings
of a horse can be so injurious as the alb
sence of good ventilation. Any number
of horses are kept in places where no
ventilators exist, and in many places
where yentilators were put in by a we'll
meaning hand, one finds them stuffed up
with straw and hay. Now, when it is
remembered, says a practical writer,
thata horse breathes much stronger than
a man, that the exhalations from his
skin and elsewhere are greater than
from any human being, it only stands to
reason that ill-ventilated stables cannot
possibly be preservative Of q horses

Do Hens Paw

The question is often asked: 'Do
hens pay?" My experience enables me
to answer: "Yes." I have twenty-one
Leghorn hens that from Feb. to April
80 have produced ffty-eight dozen eggs,
which at IS cents per dozen amounts to
S10.44. 1t cost me for feed in that time
S2.55, leaving me a net profit of $3.50. I
had a number of white Leghorn pullets
that laid when they were four months
and ten days old. I think for an all

THE APIARY.
Skunks as Bee-Eaters.

Skunks not only make raids upon the
poultry, but they find it very profitable
to attack the bees stores of honey, says
american C1tltiUator. They are unable
to get into the hives, not having the
gnawing powers of some of the other ro-
dents, but they succeed very we'll in kill
ing the bees. Their mode of procedure is
to scratch on the outside of the hive until
the attention of the bees is attracted,
and they come outside to ascertain the
cause. Then they catch the bees as
they emerge from the narrow doorway
and proceed to eat them. They prefer
those bees with honey in their sacs, and
the dead drones in front of the hives are
not touched. The skunks would be a
greater nuisance if they could get in at
the honey, for they would then be in
their glory. However, one or two of
these creatures can rapidly depopulate a
hive by the method mentioned. Traps
are about the only thing that will stop
this, and as skunks are not at all pleas
ant things to handle, unless dead, this
method of catching them is not always
satisfactory. Steel traps only wound
them and do not kill unless it catches
them in some vital part.
Cuban Honey Fields.
From the news which comes to us
from Cuba. it is wonderful honey coun-
try. The flow begins in December and lasts
until May, and does not entirely cease at
any season of the year. The honey pro-
duced is mainly extracted, of good
quality, for southern honey, and sells at
so to 20 cents per gallon in New York
CITY, The yields reported are some OF
them very large, as much as $50 to 200
pounds per colony, from apiaries ranging
from AGO to 500 colonies.-RurdI Homes.

Christ, bounded of prosecutors, denied
a pillow, worse maltreated than the
thieves on either side of the cross, hu-
man hate smacking it's lips in satisfaction
after it had been draining his last drop
of blood, the sheeted dead bursting from
the sepulchers at his crucifixion. Tell
me, O Gethsemane and Golgotha! were
there ever darker times than those?
Like the booming of the midnight sea
against the rocks, the surges of Christs
anguish beat against the gates of eternity,
to be echoed back by all the thrones of
Heaven and all the dungeons of hell.
But the day of reward comes for
Christ; all the pomp and dominion of
this world are to be hung on His throne,
uncrowned heads are to bow before Him
on whose head are many crowns, and all
the celestial worship is to come up at
His feet, like the humming of the forest,
like the rushing of the waters, like the
laundering of the seas, while all Heaven,
rising on their thrones, beat time with
their scepters: S'Hallelujah, for the

sire of the dam of Post Boy, Jr., has d
score or more of representatives in the

bluegrass Strathmore stock commanded
AS good an average in price as any sold.
The sire of Post Boy, Jr., has record of

but two or three stations, and then only
by second or so. 1t will thus be seen
that Post Boy, Jr., is rich in trotting

Local Newspapers.

The editing of local newspaper is no
light task, rs many are led to believe.
The identity and personality of the edit
or cannot be concealed or avoided-he
speaks himself and all his readers know
him, and upon him rests the whole re-
sponsibility of all he says. Self-respect
and an ardent desire to do well and to
deserve well at the hands of his subscri
bers and patrons prompt him to strive
constantly in season and out of season so
TO conduct his journal as to reflect credit
upon himself and upon the community
in which it is published. The first and
most essential thing in the conduct OF
country journal is 20 have il clean. No
line or word should be admitted to its
columns that might not be repeated in
the family circle. In its dealings with
men it should be fair and just--if occa-
sion should arise for praise or blame it
should be meted out Personal prejudice
and bias for good or i'll should never con-
troll the editorial columns. As purvey-
or of news the weekly paper needs much
watching and constant scrutiny. To
these essentials for the decent conduct
of a newspaper must be added the need
: of the earnest cooperation of the COM
munity among whom it circulates and
for whose benefit, if properly conducted,
it does so much. No class of men know
better than editors the bitterness of the
want of appreciation and of moral and
material support. If people would only
realize what advantage it is to town to
have decent, well conducted paper,
I they would with one accord tender such
encouragement and support as would
tighten the editorial burden and lift up
the editorial heart The labor bestowed
on live local journal is very great and
it should meet with a generous recogni-
lion on the part of all who are interested
IN the success and prosperity of the place
in which it is published.
