MARKING HOUSE LINEN.

Ornamental monograms for marking
house and table linen charmingly delin-
eated in the Japanese style consist of
letters designed with bamboo stalks dec
Grated with birds in various positions,
each holding spray of foliage aud ber-
ries. To this device is attached an
escutcheou inclosing smaller letter
standing for the Christian name. These
letters are adaptable to every kind of
decorative work where painting and EN-.
broidery are brought in reluisition and
are reproduced in colors that harmonize
with either the toilet set, bed hangings
or dinner service, as they may be en-
ployed. There are several ways of exc
cutting these initials. In embroidery

other way of displaying this design tc

in applique work, and in this case the
bird may be painted if preferred. The

FEEDING THE HORSES.

The following hints on horse feeding
are condensed for the MeU York Voice
from an article by Veterinary Surgeon
@. II. Michener, published In a special
report of the United States Department of
Agriculture:
In the horse digestion takes place
principally in the intestines, and here, as
in all other animals, and with all foods,
we find a certain part only of the prov
ender has been digested; another portion
is undigested. Ii the horse receives too
much food large portion of Gigestible
food passes out unacted upon, entailing
not only the loss of this unused food
but calling for an unnecessary expendi-
ture Of vital force on the part of the
horse, and keeping him poor in flesh.
Foods selected for the horse must be
wholesome, clean and sweet; the hours
OF feeding regular, and the mode Of
preparation found by experience to be
best for the animal must be adhered to.
Cleanliness in preparation and admins
tTation must be observed.
The length of time occupied Dy stom
ach digestion varies with different foods

RECIPES.


Butter Frosting-One and one.half
cups of sugar, cup of milk, butter size
of an egg. Boil all together for fifteen
minutes; flavor with vanilla; beat until
cool and spread before too hard.
Beefsteak Plea paste made of one
pint of flour aud half pound of beef
suet minced very fine is very nice for this
pie. Line the sides and bottom OF a
pudding dish and fill it with lean beef
chopped very fine by the butcher.
Season with salt and pepper and plenty
of butter rolled in flour, and two slices
of fat salt pork cut into small bits.
Cover with an upper crust, securing the
edges well, and bake in moderate oven.
Peach Sandwiches-To make peach
sandwiches, take very ripe delicious
peaches, pare and cut them up, sugar
them well, and pour over them little
cream, just enough to soak into them,
then put them in large bowl or other
deep dish, and let them stand for sew
eral hours, until they are soft and pulpy.
Take light rolls, biscuit OF short cake,
split in half, and spread thickly with the
peaches. These should be eaten cold,
and are delicious.
Stewed Potatots-Take about quart
of cold boiled potatoes not over done,
cut in pieces; allow about one pint of
milk, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley,
one spoonful of -four, three spoonfuls of
butter, and half teaspoonful OF salt.
Put the potatoes in double kettle, pour
in the milk, mix -four with the butter
smooth, then STIR into the potatoes and
add the salt aud parsley-if there is not
enough milk add a little more-cover
closely and cook ten minutes.
Salad Dressing jar of cold
string beans, chopped cabbage, lobster,
lettuce, etc.; mix we'll together. One
large tablespoonful of sugar, one Of salt,
aud one teaspoonful Of mustard; to this
add three large tablespoonfuls of vine
gar, lump of butter size of of an egg,
and two well beaten eggs; place dish
containing this mixture in another OF
boiling water, aud cook until it thickens,
stirring constantly. Let cool, and add
sweet cream to make as thin as desired.
Jelly of Prunes-Wash and soak half
a pound of fine prunes in pint o.
water. Boil until tender, then remove
aud crack the stones. Rub the frui
through sieve, and return any which
have not gone through the sieve, with
the stones, to the liquor in which it was
stewed. Boil this for ten minutes, then
strain and add half a pound of lumE
sugar, and again boil until syrup is
produced. Mix the pulp and syrup to
gether, and stir occasionally until cool

first; for II reversed the hay would
cause the oats to be sent onward to the
intestines before being acted o. by the
stomach, and as result produce indi-
gestion. Experience confirms this.
There is another reason why hay should
be given first, particularly il the horse
is very hungry or is exhausted from
overwork. The hay requires more time
for mastication, insuring proper admix-
ture of saliva, and cannot be bolted as
are the grains.
Water must not be given soon after
feeding as it washes or sluices the food
from the stomach before it is fitted for
intestinal digestion.
Rapid or severe labor cannot be per-
formed by the horse on full stomach.
For such horses food must be given in
small quantity and, if possible, about two
hours before going to their work.
The disproportion between the size
Of the stomach aud the amount of water
drank tells us plainly that the horse
should always be watered before feeding.
Never feed too soon after hard days
work. A small quantity of hay may be
given but grain should be withheld for
an hour or two.
Do not feed concentrated food entire
ly. Bulky food must be given to detain
the grains in their passage through the
intestinal tract; bulk also favors dis
tention and thus mechanically aids alb
sorption.
For horses that do slow work for
the greater part of the time, chopped or
cut hay fed with crushed oats, ground
corn, etc., is the best kind of feed,as it
gives the required bulk, saves time and
half the labor of feeding.
Sudden changes of diet are always
dangerous. Change tho food gradually.
A full meal of corn fed TO a horse ac-
customed to oats, will almost always
sicken him.
If horse is to do less work or to rest
see that he receives less food. II this
was observed even Saturday night ald
Sunday there would be fewer cases of
"Monday morning sickness"
Food should be more of a laxative
nature when a horse is TO stand for some
days.
Above all things avoid feeding musty
or moldy FODDER These are frequent
causes of lung troubles and other dis
eases. The digestive organs also suffer.
MustY hay is generally considered to
produce disorder of the kidneys, and all
know of the danger to pregnant animals
from feeding from ergotize1 grasses ol
grains.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A fence being a necessary evil, econ.
omy in its construction has always been
considered important.
Never feed raw cornmeal to every
young chicks. Crumbled stale bread is
always good for them.
1t is important to have thrifty, vigor-
Gus breeding birds if you expect thrifty,
vigorous chickens. Now is the time to
be making the selections.
The cost of wintering poultry eau
nearly always be greatly reduced BY proper
care now in securing and storing away
sufficient supply of food to last until
spring.
With proper care in selecting out and
keeping the best of the fowls each year
for breeding, they can be gradually im-
proved at very low cost. Get stand
ard breed at the start.
Providing warm, dry quarters is one
of the essentials necessary to induce the
hens to lay eggs during the winter; eggs
pay better profit during the winter
than at any other season.
When the hens are kept separate from
the roosters not only will they lay bet
ter, but the eggs will keep better. When
eggs are stored away those from hens
where there are no roosters are the
best.
While in many localities it is best to
close up the poultry house at night dur
ing the day the doors and windows
should be opened every day that the
weather will admit, so as to secure good
ventilation.
Because you have no bone mill is no
reason you should not get scraps from
the butchers bone box and give the
hens a chance to have some fresh meat
during the moulting season. You might
crack the bones some with an old ak or
hatchet and help the hens to a little of
them too.
A ditch here and load of dirt there
may prevent lots of mud and filth in the
stable yards during the coming winter.
You can not pu. in an extra hour or two
to better advantage than to see what i'm
provements you can make in or about
your stables. Devote half day to this
purpose alone aud you will not regret it.
"What is worth doing at all is worth
doing WE'LL" This proverb will nowhere
apply better than to the care of poultry.
Without constant attention and thorough
ness, success is not expected. Some kinds
of business may be occasionally sighted
without serious harm, but in this occu-
patton one mishap may blast the hopes
of whole season.
A Missouri farmer is said to have hung
his seed corn in his smoke house and
smoked it as long as he did his hams. 1t
is alleged that every kernel grew and
that it was not troubled by ground squir.
rels, gophers, mice or blackbirds, while
some corn, not smoked, that was planted
beside it was entirely destroyed. AS the
smoking would probably not injure the
corn. it might be we'll to try the expert
ment on a small scale.

PASTURE TREES.

There are more pastures in this country
without trees than those that are pro.
vided with these blessings to livestock.
There need not be many, but few trees
scattered over farm not only add to the
beauty of the landscape but carry with
them the idea that the owner is merciful
to his beast. The shade-tree may be pro-
ductive of more than shelter from the
burning sun in midsummer, for in autumn
it may bear load Of nuts that will glad
den the hearts of the boys who have none
too many things to cheer them In their
life upon the farm. Chestnuts, butter
nuts, shagbark walnuts all furnish tooth
some nuts for the winter evening, while
protecting the sheep or kline in summer.
A farm with trees sells better than one
without shade. We have noticed that
the treeless farm is most apt to be in the
market. The farmer who plants or pro-
tects no shade-trees lets other important
things escape through his fingers. -

STIMULATING FOWLS,

We believe in stimulating fowls, but
we want the stimulants TO consist of such
articles as will build up rather than tear
down the constitution. We believe in
rusty iron in the drinking water during
damp weather or changing of seasons.
We likewise believe IN piece of ASA
fetida, about the size of a hazelnut,
wrapped up in muslin "a regular sugar
teat), and placed in the drinking water
when there are signs of colds in the
fowls. We believe in an occasional feed
of chopped raw onions at night to main
tain health. We believe in a varied diet
of good, sound grain and green food for
egg production. Grit-good sharp grit
is the article that gives good health.
Look at the number of cases of in
digestion, all owing to the fact that the
fowls have not the proper material to
masticate the food. Indigestion is often
taken for cholera. Lime makes egg
shells, Along with the material to
manufacture the egg, lime must be given
to make the shells. A certain per cent.
of lime is found in the grains. but we
literally feed oyster shells to supply the
balance.
Keep the birds in a good condition
neither too fat nor too lean-and there
will be less sickness and more eggs.
Half-starved hens can neither remain
healthy nor lay eggs. 1t is false econo-
my to cut down the rations. Less corn
and more wheat is better policy. The
science of feeding is not in stinting the
fowls, but in getting them as much as
they can eat of the proper feed. In
other words, for eggs, stimulate the hens
with such grains as wheat aud oats-as
much as they will eat up clean. Fol
growing flesh give them all the corn
they wish. Stimulation in the right way
is the proper thing to do.-Homestead

rhe MIXERS ',Rustlod" for The Bride.

Colonel Hart, manager Of the Cornu-
copia mine Of Neihart, told an interest
ing little story the other evening, says
the Salt Lake (Utah) Herald. Here IL is;
One of the principal owners of the Mol
lie Gibson mine at Aspen, Col, had a
daughter who was married a few years
ago. Shortly after her return from her
wedding trip she went to hor father and
told him she wanted a house. The old
gentleman, after a few moments delib-
Grafton said "My girl, I'll tell you what
I'll do, I'll give you one days work Of
any two men in the mine you may Sc
lect." The bride IL ought this was
rather slim allowance from one who
could well afford to be generous, and
she was not slow TO express the disap-
pointment which she felt.
The young lady was very popular with
the miners, and when they heard of the
proposition which the chief had made 10
his daughter they held meeting aud
selected the two best workmen from
among their number. These two worth
les presented themselves before the
young lady, and after a vast amount oi
preliminary bowing and scraping the
spokesman addressed her rs follows:
"Say, Miss, il you will only choose
us two fellers you'll never be sorry fol
t. Wen git an everlastin' rustic on us,
md we will stick the old man for you.
You can just bet your sweet life We
will"
She selected these two men, and on
he day appointed they did "git al
,verlastin' rustic on them, and succeed
ID in sticking the old man to the full
,xtent of their promise. Ore to the
mlue OF $31, 900 was taken out by these
wo miners IN one day, and one of thu

LADY MAoDoNALp's rEErorAL1sM.

Lady Macdonald the wife of the late
Prime Minister Of Canada, is a staunch total
abstainer. The story of how she became so
has been told by herself. She says, after
some reflection, she was led to give up wine
drinking suddenly at last on Christmas Day,
1867. She had thought good deal ON the
subject, but never made any decided resolu'
ton until that day. Conversation at dinner
turned on total abstin nence, and a guest a
strictly temperance man, who held high
office in the dominion, said that practically
total abstinence was impossible for any onl
lin society" Lady Macdonald combated
this and, as result OF further discussion,
she was challenged as to whether she would
herself "give up her glass OF sherry at din
ner.n She at once decided to try, saying,
"Henceforth / enter the ranks of total ao,
stainers, and drink to our success in water "
Her ladyship's testimony is that "Since
then, thank God have never found any
necessity for wine. In health L can do my
life's work without any aid from dangerous
stimulants; in sickness l have invariably
and positively refused to touch it."

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

Some men can keep drunk when they can't
keep anything else.
Temperance is a tree that has contentment
for its root, and peace for its fruit
"Britons never will be saYes,n boasts the
Londoner-yet he will walk three miles to get
his ale.
Sir William Temple: 'Men may lose their
health without losing their senses and be in
temperate every day without being drunk
perhaps once in their lives"
"A drunken man. says Shakespeare, ri {
like a drowned man, a fool, and madmaH
one draught above heat makes him a DOL
the second mads him, and a third browns
him."
The deputy marshals of Alaska have con
siderable trouble with the Indians who run
illicit stills for the manufacture of vile and
vicious decoction called hoochinoo, which
creates in the native breast a decided longing
for somebody's blood.
OF an estimated population Of 30, OOl, ,Ol9 in
England and Wales, l73, 036 persons were CON
Yicted of drunkenness last year. Fifteen
thousand nine hundred aud forty-two were
convicted for being drunk on Sundays be-
tween 1880 noon and midnight,
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1891-12-02

Instead of drink being the rule now among
native Americans, 1t is the exception. 1t is
rarely seen on our dining tables, Church
members seldom make practice Of drink
ing. 1t is never heard OF at ordinations
and not often at funerals. Thousands OF
children have grown up without ever taking
glass of beverage. Total abstinence has
become respectable, and drunkenness a dis
grace. And yet sensible people seriously
tell us that our reformatory methods must
be given up, because we have made no
progress.
They say there is more drinking per capita
now than when we began this temperance
work. win they please tell US IL this means
more whisky or more beers But suppose 1t
means more alcohol, will they please tell us
how much we would have been taking at
the previous rapid rate of increased immi-
grafton of drinkers, if it had not been for
temperance work and teaching. Temper
