There is a key to every horses tenn

Different horses require different
/ treatment.
Pigs grow fat on skinned milk and

Habits are very quickly formed by
young horses.
Aluminium horseshoes are worth a
thorough trial.
The horses enjoy good breeze as

Big horses with style and quality are
still commanding high prices.
If animals get off feed for a few
days, it takes quite time before they
recover.
A horse with sore mouth will pull

Quality and soundness of limbs and

in buying a horse.
A horse fed on early cut end we'll

dition next spring.
The feeding value of wheat for hogs

Give the hogs. as great variety of
food as possible until they are ready
to go into their fattening pens.
Every foal inherits equally from
both parents. 1t is important TO look
to the mare as well as to the sire.
Heavy draft and stylish coachers
command premium above produc-
tion, while the little horses do not pay
to raise.
The Government has received infor-
nation that the French Government

When beet pulp is fed alone, there
is danger of Ostermslcia (softening of

to the disease.
Move the hogs frequently. A clean

1t is said to be the custom in some
parts of the West to turn sheep into
the corn fields to eat the weeds, and
that no damage is done to the corn,
provided it is of good size and stands
up well.
When butter comes in granules like
wheat grains cold water should be
poured in to harden it the buttermilk

more cold water added and the churn

SIEnIfCance Of ..Yan,, and ..YOn. ;,

II is common mistake of Ameri-
cans TO think that the predicate ivan"
before Dutch name signifies nobility.
In the low countries-that is in the
kingdoms Of the Netherlands and of
Belgium ivan" has no particular
meaning. Names with ivan" are TO
he read on shops, as well as on the
doors of the most aristocratic man
sions. The humblest persons have il,
as well rs the most refined. On the
other hand, n great number of the
very oldest families are without il. In
Germany won" means noble, and all
persons belonging to the nobility have
'von" before their family names, with
out any exception. Persons who do
not belong to the nobility cannot put
''von" before their names, as they have
no right to do so, and would be found
out directly if they assumed it, and
make themselves ridiculous. But in
case of a man being knighted for some
reason or other he has the right to put
'von" before his family name. For
instance, when Alexander Humboldt
was knighted he became Alexander Won
Humboldt, and oil his descendants,
male and female, take the prefix. -

UTENSILS THAT ARE mpRAcr1cABLE.

UTENSILS THAT ARE 1MPRACT1CABLE.
A new tin pie-plate, evolved by
woman, has holes in the bottom to
ventilate the undercrust, and thus pre-
vent it from becoming soggy. A
crinkled rim of tin is laid over the
edges of the pie-crust to keep them
together and prevent the escape of the
juices. Being left-handed, 1 took
kindly, too, to spider seen the other
day hich has lip on both sides.
Some other so-called improvements in
household utensils have little to rec
ommend them except that they are
new. Among them are flour sitter
that may be fastened against the wall
and turned with a crank, metal
kneading board which fastens to the
table SO that it will not slip about, and
n wooden roller covered with Turkish
toweling for busting hardwood floors
or carpets. The latter is not half as
good an arrangement for dusting as
the English darkblue flannel kept pur-
posely for hardwood floors, made into
bag and kept on broom, as it cam
not be used i'll the corners of room.
When damp cloth is to be used, 1t
would not equal clean flannel cloth
in self-wringing mop. Small meat
choppers, fruit.presses and evaporators
for drying fruit are really lsbor-saving
contrivances.
Too often complex pieces of help.
fulness are only an added care and an
added expense. Before buying them
as a pleasing novelty they should
be carefully studied. All kitchen
utensils should be as plain and simple
and as light weight as possible, for
the sake of the person who lifts and
cleanses them each day. New York

sight TO see farmers heavy draught
and single harness that have been
used for several years without drop
of any lubricant touching them since
they came from the dealers hands.
All the leather portion is hard and
brittle, and presents a dull appear
ance. If used during a shower, the
parts that are rubbed look more like
porous sole leather than an oak-tanned
article. Such treatment shortens the
life and usefulness of the harness at
least one half; whereas, few cents
worth of oil and two or three hours
time each year would not only make
the harness far more presentable, but
add to its usefulness, and what is of
greater Importance, to its safety. Do
not hang the harness in horse stable.
The ammonia arising from the floor
is very destructive to leather of any
kind. Before oiling the harness, re-
move all dirt and dandruff by thor
oughly washing with strong castillo
soap suds. The harness should be
taken apart before commencing opera
tions. Choose a warm day, if done
out of doors, or work near stove if
indoors. As soon as dry, any of the
harness oils may be applied with
woolen cloth, or soft sponge, using
care to saturste every portion. After
each strap has been oiled, bend it back
and forth, thereby introducing the oil
to the very center of each strap. If
not previously oiled for long time, a
second application should be given,
and after few hours go over with
dry cloth, removing all that has not
been absorbed. In place of the usual
neat's-foot or petroleum harness oil,
melted lard free from salt, or even un-
salted butter, may be used. It is bet
ter still to boil up the broken shin
bones of beef. The marrow, and
what tallow there may be, will make
most valuable dressing of almost the
consistency of oil, and may be bottled
for future use If color be desired,
add little lampblack. This will prove
equally efficacious as a dressing for
boots and shoes. Fifty cents worth
of these shin bones, obtained of any
butcher, will yield enough neats-foot
oil to last several years, American

PREVENTING CHICKEN pox.

Owing to his vigilance and the con-
stancy of his lsbors in the earlier part
of the year, the poultry raiser is apt
to take things easier now, and liable
to neglect to keep the coops of his
chickens clean. But they need just as
much attention now rs ever-more if
there is any difference, for the amount
of droppings increases with the size of
the chickens. II is in unclean coops
that the chicken pox usually appears.
About the sides of the face and on the
comb, wattles and earlobes, may be
noticed scabs. If nothing is done for
them, the disease sometimes so spreads
as to make the head solid sore, and
even to destroy the sight and cause
death Remove the scabs and rub in
dry sulphur twice day. A few appli-
cations will usually affect cure. In
the South this disease is treated with
an ointment of salt and lard rubbed
into the sores. A few applications will
suffice. A little sulphur in the food is
helpful. American Agriculturist.

SERVING GOLD MEATS.

A very pretty luncheon table cannot
well have cold meats upon it unless
these are particularly we'll arranged.
Haphazard slices will not do at all,
nor will even liberal parsley garnish
help matters greatly. The daintiest
and the most picturesque way to serve
cold meats is TO slice them and then
rearrange in bulk again. To do this
nicely large piece of meat--say fine
roast of beef-must be cooked and
then allowed to get very cold. When
quite cold the beef is sliced all the
way across in mammoth slices, one by
one. When all the slicing is done the
pieces are carefully put in place again
just as they were when whole, aud the
roast" is apparently untouched. For
greater convenience in the serving the
entire piece of meat is cut once across
so that the slices when taken off are
half size instead of colossal in dimen-
sions, A piece de resistance like q
full sized roast of beef in the centre
of luncheon table is a stately thing
to gaze upon, and gives the guests the
comfortable assurance that the sub
stsntiRl part of the feast is not TO be
sacrificed entirely to delicacies. New

THE CABBAGE WORM.

The green cabbage worm is most
easily destroyed by sprinkling solu-
tion of saltpetre on the leaves. This
kills the small worms before they have
done much mischief. 1t is much less
trouble than picking off the worms,
but this may be done when only a few
plants are grown in q small garden.
The solution may be sprayed on the
plants by suitable force pump. Such

so effective as the ss.ltpetre solution.

ABOUT KILLING POULTRY.

Views as to the best mode of killing
fowls differ, and the practice on
general farms to chop off the head
with hatchet remains On the
broiler farms the French method of
stabbing the bird in the roof of the
mouth and plucking the feathers while
the body is warm, is adopted as the
quickest and best When killing with
the hatchet, as is generally the case
in private families, the best way is to
make a loop of piece of string, which
place about the fowls head. Let one
person pull on this while the execu-
tioner holds the birds feet and the
tops of the wings in his left hand. In
the right hand he holds the hatchet
The person with the string now pulls
the head over block, and with one
blow the executioner performs his
task. The bird is then held until life
is extinct. This prevents this bird
from getting its feathers soiled. Some
advise TO perfo-ate the neck and let
the blood all run out before dressing.
Others think the process of depletion
renders the meat less sayory than it
would be if a portion of the circulation
was retained in the body. The plan
of breaking the neck was at one time
generally practiced by dealers. 1t
WAS claimed for this method that
it not only gave a speedy death, but
that the flavor of the flesh was better
than when all the blood was drained
out. The bird is taken by the legs
and wings in the left hand, while the
head is taken in the right, the body
and neck being stretched to the ex-
treme length, the head is then bent
backwards and pulled at the same
time. Dislocation takes place, and
the body is held in the same position
two or three minutes for the blood TO
run into the neck. Then, and not
before, should plucking begin. Iowa

Senator Proctor Has Is, 900 Employees.

United States Senator Proctor is
the owner of one of the most valuable
marble quarries in the country, and
his home at Proctorville, in the Green
Mountains, possesses beauty un-
rivaled in mountain districts. His
eldest son is manager of the works.
Some idea of the value of these quarries
and the enormous amount of work
performed can be estimated from the
fact that there are 10, 900 names on
the pay rolls of the company, and the
village of Proctor is made up entirely
of the employees. There are 500 cot
tages in the village beautiful little
two-story dwellings, that are rented
at 81 per month; always kept in the
most perfect repair. The drives in
and around the neighborhood are
solidly macadamized by the hard
marble siftings from the mines, and
one may drive for miles over the
picturesque roads on roadway un-
exampled for smoothness and freedom
from dust. The Senator is planning TO
build n spacious private mansion on
the corner OF Vermont avenue and X
street, the lot purchased years since,
just across from the residence OF
Secretary Carlisle. Washington Post.
