CARDIsG THE cows.


IL Fay. To- Give All Animals the Hest
Possible Carr.
This ought 10 b. a daily winter
duty OF every farmer who aims TO
give all animals in his keeping the
best possible care. The cows, the
oxen and young stock enjoy having
their hair combed and brushed as
much as human beings, especially
when they are tied up aud cannot
roam ut will and sick" each other.
Every man knows that he can do
better work, and do more of ii,
whether mental or physical labor,
when he is in perfect health-when
no part of the body draws the atten-
ton of the mind to it-when really
he forgets his mental and corporal
self. This is the result of following
the laws of cleanliness and health.
Animals are like human beings in
some respects. To obtain from them
the best product, they, like men,
must be in perfect health and con-
dition, so that their whole being
may be devoted to the object for
which 1t is designed. The COW can
be c0axed easier than she can be
driven. 1t is not enough to give the
COW merely enough to eat and drink;
she must be kept clean, and her body
absolutely at rest.
The card is one means of accom-
plishing this result. A COW may be
MIXED and she will not stop chewing
the cud, but often when the card is
applied she stops chewing; her whole
attention, if it may be called that, is
gwen to the process that relieves the
body or skin of the little itching
''kinks and snarls."
On a large farm, where the COWS
and young stock do not leave the
barn from November till May, there
is regular carder. AS the stock is
carded regularly every day at about
the same hour, the cows look for the
coming of the carder, and become
uneasy if he does not appear. And
when he does come, how the cows en-
Joy it. The carder is gentle and
sympathetic, and rubs the cows where
they want to be rubbed. They have
a way, understood by the carder, of
making known where the application
of the card will give the most pleas
ure. 1t would be cruelty to keep
these cows and these frisky heifers
tied up a twelve-month without a
regular carding. 1t is ii question if
there be not some cruelty practiced
as it is, but the carding supplies
part of what all stock must have to
thrive.-Grorge Appleton, in Farm
and Preside.

Sheen ShearIn1S.

Especially when on dry feed
sheep need IA good supply of water.
To keep sheep healthy they re-
quire frequent change of food.
Look over the flock and sell the
sheep that show the least improve
ment.
Care should always be taken to
clean out the managers or feed racks
regularly.
Never allow sheep to be frightened
or run by a dog or in any way be dis
turbed.
IF any of the ewes have poor teeth
it will always pay to feed them
ground feed.
A sheep kept thrifty will shear a
heavier and better fleece than one
poorly kept.
In commencing to feed grain to
sheep feed small quantity at first
and gradually increase.
The farmer that is too careless to
give sheep good care will do better
with some other class of stock.
The days are for feeding and the
nights are for refuse and with no
stock is this more the case than with
sheep.
Sheep of different ages and oondi-
tons should be sorted into differ emit
lots and the weaker ones have little
better feed.
With comfortable surroundings,
which implies dry. warm shelter and
regular feeding, a small amount of
grain can be made to count.
Boiling turnips. washing and mix
ing them with cornmeal and wheat

ton for winter feeding, and there is
little danger of overlooking in using
it.

THE WOMEN or TO-DAY AND The ~.
TuRE.

We have had and are still having
in some Of orr schools and semina-
ries false system of education for
girls. They are not educated at all,
but are given a kind of smatter of a
number of impracticablc things and
a little society polish that simply
serves to make them more discomfort
ed with and less useful to the world.
A little music, little painting and
q little literature and that Of romance
and entertainment solely. In fact
we have known at some OF these
educational yeneering outside pol
ish institutes that some of the
scholars(: pride themselves on their
charming incapacity." This kind
Of thing may do for a certain set,
but they are not of much Importance
to the world and would not be miss
Ell if they were to emigrate to the
moon. The women who are to be
the wives of the men Of this genera
ton and the mothers of the next,
must be something more than mere
pets and playthings for men. Our
women must have education to tit
them to be real companions and CO.
workers with their husbands in the
battle of lite. This will not only
solve the question as to whether or
not marriage is a failure, but the
progress of the world would receive a
new and healthy impetus. The In
dustrial and Training school for girls
at Greensboro is a step in the right
direction. The very fact that this
institution is now oyerrun shows that
such training is not only needed, but
that the want for it has already large
ly been felt, and especially among
those who are not pampered children
of luxury. President McIver, in his
report to the Legislature says; "The
number now on the register is 1913,
and the number would have been 800
if we could have accommodated
Them" The Legislature should have
made ample provision for this instr
tuition. In fact there should be at
least two more such institutions in
the State, one in the east and one in
the west. The State can make no
better investment than to see that its
girls are educated as women should
be.

HOUSEHOLD RECEIPTS.
Stuffed Beef Steak.

Buy good cut of round steak
and lay it full length on the mold
ing board. Season on both sides
with salt and pepper. Make dress
ing of stale bread; season to taste
with salt, pepper, butter and little
onion chopped very fine, or with
thyme. Mix fine, with the hands,
and spread on the steak nearly an
inch thick. Commence at one end
and roll up quickly, like a jelly roll;
tie with cord wound several times
around it, to hold in place. Put in
dripping pan with pieces of suet and
little water. Bake in hot oven, al
lowing twenty minutes to each pound
of meat. When done take out steak.
Pour fat from gravy, return to fire,
thicken with flour, add little water
and serve.

Exit Harrison.

President Harrison leaves the
White house, doubtless with little re-
greet. While he desired a reelection
and lent all the energies Of mis- ad-
mlnistration to that end, the domestic
affections which crowded so thick
and fast upon him and his family
during the last few months of his
term, and in which he had the sym-
pathy OF the whole people, most
likely caused him to take his depar-
ture from the executive mansion, if
not with satisfaction, at least with
out sorrow, save that caused by the
personal Affections he has endured.
There is not much to be said either
of condemnation or praise-save in
one particular Mr.. Harrison,s
administration. 1t has not been
what is termed popular admins
tratlon and has reflected in a large
degree the presidents want of mag
netism. 1t was repudiated by very
large vote of the people-a fate that
will overtake his successor if he pur-
sues the financial policy he has
marked out. Still it has been clean
administration, devoid of all sean
dals, fairly able and fairly efficient.

Asparagus.

Horticulturists do not all agree in
regard to the question of varieties of
asparagus. There are some who
claim that there is but one variety,
and that the so-called varieties are
only improved strains brought about
by careful selection of seed and
superior cultivation. Asparagus,
unlike the varieties of most other
vegetables, does not distinguish the
different sorts by color, taste, from,
Or indeed any other characteristic ex-
cept size; and when removed from
the favorable conditions that have
developed superiority in the plant,
it deteriorates. Asparagus is a
dloecious plant-that is to say, the
male or staminate flowers are on sep
arate roots. The latter only bear
seeds, and these seeds will not be
fertile unless the flower was impreg-
mated BY the pohen of the former.

How to Prevent a Child From Sucking its

Mothers are often worried by a
child which sucks its thumb. This
disagreeable trick is so often inner
tied that babe with its thumb in
its mouth might serve as crest for
many coat-of-arms.
Babies which suck their thumbs
are generally either of a nervous
temperament or else are SO phleg-
matte that this passive form Of
exercise has special attraction for
them.
What to do with child which
sucks its thumb is not matter for
fiippant consideration. To prevent
the natural consequences of such a
