that 1t is that that makes her such famous
housekeeper. In fact, we all agree that it Is
the only really FAMILY magazine published,
as we have sent for samples of all OF them,
and find that one is all for men, another all
for women, and another for children only,
while this one suits every one of us; 80 we
only need to take one instead Of several, and
that is where the economy comes in, for it Is

The horse will be all the better for
working his way through the winter.
The man that knows the right use
of a horse-blanket is a frst-class
horse-man.
Too many horses eat up, during
the winter, all they have earned dur
ing the summer.
The horse-blanket saves feed and
hesh-less substance is used to make
animal heat.
Keeping matches in any other re-
ceptacle than an iron or tin box is

Some people think farm animal is
like postage stamp-no good until

The farmhouse, having only light
labor, and not much of that, during
the winter, should have less grain
and more roughness than during the
summer.

OVERFEEDING.

The statement that "all the over
fed COWS in America could be accom-
modated in modera tested stable"
is going the rounds, but is not likely
to be universally accepted as a true
presentation of the case. That over
feeding is not very general we admit,
and we believe that there are farm
ers and dairymen who think that
they run perilously close to the
danger line in this direction who
really have no practical knowledge
of what is involved in genuine high
feeding. But there are a good many
men who crowd their cows too hard
either for their own profit or for the
good Of the animals. They do not
intend to keep their COWS very long,
but they mean to make the most Of
them while they last. There is an
other class, and large one, which
feed so irregularly as to receive
nearly all the evils of overlooking,
yet without obtaining anything like
the increased returns which they
hope to secure. When butter is high
they feed literally, but when the
price falls the quantity of grain is di-
minished, if its use is not entirely dis
continued. Under this uncertain
method the health and productive
capacity of the cows become impaired
and the business of keeping them
rapidly becomes unprohtable.-

ed as follows: suit, 79 cents cap,
8 cents; shoes, 40 cents; tie, 5 cents !;
stockings, 10 cents. This shows
what American methods of produc-
ton can do, but we are afraid that
it also shows something of the

OLD HAY.

1t is not generally known that old
clover hay that has been standing
in the NOW or stack for some time
is often infested by numerous small
brown worms which web the dried
stems and leaves and feed upon
them. BY stacking or moving hay
on such an infested mass, the whole
stalk or NOW may become infested
in the same way. consequently"
says Prof. c. NJ. Weed, now our en-
tomologist at Hanover, in one of
the Ohio bulletins, Hay mows
should be thoroughly cleaned out
each summer, and new stacks should
not be put on old foundations un-
til all of the leavings of the previous
season are removed. Hay which is
thickly infested by the worms should
be burned"

FOR THE FARM.
WORKING OXEN FOR BEEF.

On many Vermont farms most of
the work is still done by oxen. One
frequently sees farmer with a yoke
of oxen and one horse hitched ahead.
Many of these oxen are high grade
Devons, not particularly heavy but
active, fast walkers and very intelll-
gent. Dehorning is not practiced
much in the New England states,
particularly with working oxen, as
the horns are needed in keeping the
big ox-yokes in place. They are cut
off at the ends, and little brass balls
are screwed on. There are hundreds
of Just such oxen to be found on the
hill farms of New England. In Maine
and parts Of New Hampshire more
Herefords are used; they are heavier
than the Devons, with better necks
and shoulders, but not so active and
smart. These working oxen are
finally sold for beef. The farmers
claim that they make sweeter and
juicier beef than the lazy, pampered
animals, which do nothing but eat,
sleep and grow fat. These working
oxen show a greater proportion OF
lean meat. Does their exercise make
the beef tough and stringy! Who
can tell about this? The famous
Roast beef of Old England" which
has been made a theme for poets
orators and statesmen, came IN a
great measure from oxen which did
the farm work while they were grow
ing into beef. Nobody praises the
present beef as the old beef was
praised. - Rural New Yorker. i

PALATABLE ICES.

Good Housekeeping gives the fol-
lowing recipes for the construction
of delicious ices:
LEMON ICE-Is made by taking the
juice of six lemons and the grated
peel of three, and the juice and rind
of one large sweet orange. Steep all
together one hour, and then strain
and add one pint of water and one
pint Of sugar; stir well until the
sugar is all dissolved, and then
freeze. If you open your freezer
three times during the operation,
and stir up the contents well, it will
improve the result.
ORANGE ICE-Take the juice of six
oranges and grated rind of three,
and the juice of two lemons, with
the same proportion Of sugar and
water. Prepare and freeze as lemon
ice.
PINEAPPLE IcE-Requires for a
similar amount of sugar and water,
the expressed juice of one large pine
apple, and the juice and grated peel
of lemon.
STRAWBERRY OR RASPBERRY Ice
The juice of one quart of berries
added to one pint Of sugar and hal
a pint of water and the juice of a
lemon, makes a most satisfactory
delicacy.
A DELICIOUS COMBINATION Ice
One of the most delicious ices of all
can be made by putting together the
juice Of one quart of red or white
currants and one quart of red rasp-
berries. To these add one and one
half pints of sugar, and rather less
than pint of water and freeze

The law is the more terrible to me
because it is not always the misdoer
himself who suffers This law is
usually ignored by young people.
The act of carelessness or selhshness
is so trif1ing, what harm can it do !?
No harm apparently, to the actor,
who goes happily on his way; but
somebody pays. A young girl, to
make conversation, thoughtlessly
repeats a bit of gossip which she
forgets the next moment; but long
afterward the woman whom she
maligned finds her good name faint
ed by the poisonous whisper. A lad
accustomed to take wine persuades
a chance comrade to drink with him,
partly out of a good-humored wish
to be hospitable, partly, it may be,
out of contempt for "fanatical re-
formers" He goes on his way, and
never knows that his chance guest,
having inherited the disease of al
coholism, continues to drink, and be-
comes hopeless victim. Our grand
fathers expressed this truth in way
OF their own:
For the lack of a nail the shoe was lost;
r OF lack OF the SHOe the I1Oe1 was IOSI,
For the lack of the rider the message waslost;
For the lack ofthe message the battle was lost.
But, though we do not see it, we
do well to remember that it is there;
and to remind ourselves at the begin
ming of every day that each careless
act, each unkind word in it, will be
paid for not by US, perhaps, but in
the want or pain of some one
