Table Manners

There seems to be an idea among many
people that there must be a different set
of manners for company from what is OBJ
served in every day life. While it is the
proper thing to have for an invited com
pany a more elaborate dinner and little
more ceremony in the service than for the
family table. 1t must be remembered that
one should no put On ard take off good
manners as one would q garment. They
are part OF ones self, and wketh er the
family me2! consist OF many courses or
only cup of tea and a slice Of toast it
should always be served decently and In
order, and the manners of the mem
bers of the household should be such that
one need not blush for them, even in the
finest com pany. As soon as a child is old
enough to come to the table he
should be taught by precept and example
what good table manners are. If the
father ard mother be 80 unfortunate
as not to have had proper training them
selves, they should study to correct
any bad habits they may have, for the
sake of their children. Let it be under
stood that good manners are not the
acquiring Of every new wrinkle that
fashionable society may prescribe. There
Is great difference between good manners
and good form. What is good form to-
day may be bad form tomorrow, but
good manners are not changeable I'M
seIfshness, kindly feelings, and politeness
are the foundation of good manners.
Good able manners demand that one
shall take soup from the side of spoon;
shall ear with a fork, rather than a knife;
shall take small mOuthfuIs of food and
masticate it quietly, making no unpleas-
ant sound shall take in the fingers no food
except fruit, confectionery, olives, bread,
cake, celery, ETC.. and that the members
of the family shall! be as petite to each
other as to any guest. Where people rush
through their meals there is not much
chance for table manners or good diges-
ton. If properly managed, the table can
be made one of the most refining Influences

Cows and Skim Mill.

Ine fact that COWS can be taught to
drink skim milk does not prove that it is
good or economical feed for them. Gen
orally when calf is weaned it soon I'M
learns its desire for milk in any form, and
this is Cften thought best to prevent it
getting the habit of sucking itself. With
pigs and poultry there ought to be de
mand enough on tho farm for all skim
milk produced, without feeding it to
cows

An orchard on the farm always adds
more to the value OF the farm than the
