With horses especially, the heavi.
est feeders are not by any means the
best feeders.
Ascertain as nearly as possible
what your stock is worth and Their
sell in the market.
A heavy growth of clover puts the
land in a first class condition to grow
a GOOD crop of corn.
Good stock. good crops, rich sol
and industry are the essential factors
in good and profitable farming.
AS an animal grows fat it consumes
less in proportion to it's size and di-
gests less of what it consumes.
Even for milk production, hearty,
thrifty condition is quite as important
as it is for the production of fat.
Keep the best grain and hay for
your stock; if any is sold let it be the
poorer grades as far as is possible.
So far as is possible, every grower
should know under what conditions
his breeding animals have been
grown.
Disease and vermin are not SO liza
bic to attack colts when they are kept
in a good thrifty condition during the
winter.
With many animals. one advantage
in a variety Of food is the increased
palatableness, in this way helping the
appetite.
In the majority of cases the worst
farmers are those who never make any
attempt to improve upon what they
are doing.
With all classes of stock it is best
to select out the breeding animals
early and feed them especially for
this purpose.
Variety in feeding belongs to profit

Home Hints.
Small articles of steel. such as
buckles, can be cleaned with un-
Stacked lime.
Soups and dressings are much i'm
proved in favor by sprinkling with
the chopped roots and tops of celery
which have been dried.
A board one foot square and COW
cred with tin or zinc and used to set
hot kettles or pans upon is a great
protection to the kitchen table.
Sweet skinned milk will brighten
up stained floors and OilclOths. Rub
we'll first with a soft cloth wet with
the milk, then with a dry flannel.
A piece of chamois skin bound On
the edges, shaped to fit the heel and
kept in place by a piece of elastic
rubber worn over the stockings, will
save much mending.
Oil of peppermint in water diluted
even to one part in one million will
kill cockroachcs in an hour, they
dying of commissions. One drop of
the oil placed under a bell jar cover
ing a cultivation of cholera bacilli
will kill both bacilli and spores in
forty-eight hours.
A nice way to keep wax for the
work basket is to fill half shells of
English walnuts with melted wax.
fastening the two half shells closely
together at one end. There will then
be small space at the other end,
through which the thread will slip
when the wax is being used.
The following is an excellent way
of cleaning marble: First brush the
dust off the marble and then apply
with a brush q liberal coat of gum
arabic that is about the consistency
of thick mucilage. Expose the marble
to the sun, a dry wind, or both. In
a short time q mucilage will crack
and peel off. Ii all the gum does
not peel off wash the surface with
clean water and a clean cloth. If
the first application does not have
the desired effect repeat the process
as often as necessary.

mon. That is very much like placing
q plate Of victuals at hungry mans
feet and then tying his hands. But
though this mistake has been un-
learned, there is still a very made
quate notion as to how far tree roots
spread. The popular idea, that is,
..about as far as the branches reach
overhead, " is greatly inadequate. In
old trees that is most likely the limit
in which there are few feeding roots.
and manure can do least good. Give
an apple tree room and it's roots will
extend twice or thrice the distance
it's top would reach if PROSTATE on the
ground. But usually old trees are
cramped in orchards, and each Occu-
plying square of twenty, thirty or
forty feet, their roots cross and inter-
lace in the fierce fight that ever goes
on in nature for more food, more air
and more light. The largest apple
tree we know of was about four rods
from the farm barnyard, ..too far
away, the farmer said, s.fOr it's roots
to get any benefit from the manure. ;"
But it's vigorous growth and pro-
fusion of leaf and fruit told differ
ent story. It more likely had mo-
nopoly of the rich soil under the
barnyard, and had crowded it's neigh,

Stops from the house, SO that it no

to wells, occasioning diseases more
deadly than the fever and ague of new

cause in some contaminated well
whose water furnishes the drinking
supply of the afflicted family. Re.

An incident is told by DR.. Scoffern
which illustrates in pleasant way
the good humor and geniality which
belonged to Michael Faraday as much
during his later as bis earlier years.
Professor Brande during the year
1851, was lecturilg at one time on a
newly discovered method of purifying
sugar by sugar of lead; while they
were in the laboratory Scoffern acct
dentally let fall retort Of corrosive
liquid.
In an instant, he tells us, Professor
Faraday threw some soda on the
floor; then down on his hands and
knees he went, slop-cloth in hand,
like any humble housemaid.
Laughing, expressed my desire
to photograph him then and there;
he demurred at the pose, begged me
to consult his dignity, and began
laughing with childish joyousness. !"

could be, and those VINO knew him

AT the Worlds Fair Temperance Congress
=. r. Jewell read paper written by Charles
r. Drysdale, senior physician to the Metro
politan Hospital OF London, on ''The Nor
tally of Total Abstainers in British Insurance
Societies. After giving number of figures
to show the healthfuIness Of cold water
drinkers, DR.. Drysdale said
Total abstinence from the use OF alcoholic
drinks is not only perfectly safe to the aver
age citizen, but even very important, as con-
tributing to warding off sickness and early
death, and, consequently, to the correct per-
Torrance OF his duties as a member Of a civ
ilized community, each Of whom is expected
to pay for his maintenance by being of some
service to his neighbors. I have, indeed, Of
ten been greatly puzzled to account for the
fact that so many able medical practitioners
both partake OF alcoholic drinks and recon-
mend them to their friends. For my own
part, my professional experience has shown
me that one of the most common causes of
chronic sickness and death is the daily use OF
beer, wine or spirits.
Diseases of the stomach, liver, lungs,
heart, brain and nervous system, govt and
affections of the kidney and other organs,
are surely sufficient to explain the statistics
Of the "Rechabites' and other total abstin-
ence societies. In conclusion, would beg
to indorse the words of n late much-honored
London physician, Sir w. Gull, and say with
him: From my experience, alcohol is the
most destructive agent that we are aware Of
in this country. l would like to say that
very large number of people in society are
dying day by day poisoned by alcohol. but
not supposed to be poisoned by it,

TO ABOLISH TREATING.

Oliver Sumner Teall is about to turn apor-
ton. of his energies to the cause of temper
ance, his watchward to be not total abstin-
ence, but moderation. He intends to secure
the names Of 5000 men, principally club men,
to pledge that, when the full 5000 are OBJ
tanned, they will neither treat others nor be
treated to any spirituous liquors. In further
ance of the cause he has prepared an appeal
to the public, which begins with this aver
ment Drinking over bar is the curse Of
our country, and the American custom Of
treating has made thousands and thousands
of drunkards.
The pledge is as follows:
''We, the undersigned, hereby Pledge our
selves not to treat others or to be treated
ourselves to any spirituous liquors provided,
however, that this pledge is not to apply to
liquors furnished with meals or in our own
homes, or on special occasions when all Of a
party are our invited guests and provided
also that this pledge does not go into effect
until it has been signed by 5000 residents Of
the city of New York, and is to remain there
after in force for only one year. New York

A Dangerous Practice.

Ladies who do great deal of sewing
frequently suffer great deal from sore
ness OF the mouth and lips, and are
often at loss to ascertain the cause Of
the trouble Half the time it is simply
the result of biting off thread instead of
using a pair of shears for cutting. In
the case OF silk thread the danger is
quite marked, because it is usual to
soak the thread in acetate of lead, part
ly to harden it and give it a good sur
face, and also, perhaps, to increase its
weight somewhat. If this practice is
followed regularly and very much silk
. thread is used the results may be quite
serious and even lead to blood-pois-

BAD rNrLuENcEs an rHE Fam.

Workmen at the Worlds Fair from heather
and Mohammedan countries are, from pres
ent indications, likely to return home worse
rather than better for their contact with
christian civilization. The most potent
influence that has affected them SO far seems
to be the American saloon, and Turks, Arabs
and Javanese have already shown the de-
moralizing effects of the strong drinks which
they have tasted for the first time. AL
ready there have been frequent instances Of
riot and disorder. A party of Arabs from
the New Cairo on the Midway Plaisance on
recent night became infamed with Ameri-
can liquor, and brought on a fight with the
guards with the fierce energy of their un-
tanned natures, and were suppressed with
difficulty. The suggestion is good onethat
the churches do q little foreign missionary
work while the nations are thus at their
doors, and let them know that other influ-
ences and ideas are potent here.-Advance.
