HOW TO WASH FLANNELs.

Flannels should always be washed
by themselves in suds prepared for
them; on no account be rubbed on
the board, unless very dirty. The
suds should be pleasantly warm to the
hands, not too hot, and no hot or
cold water be added while the fiannels
are in the tub. They should be rinsed
in clean water of the same tempera-
ture as the washing suds, and as many
waters used as may be necessary to
teke all the soap out, as the fannels
will never be soft with the soap left
in them. They should never be blued.
They Gould be pulled in shape before
hanging. understands being hung from
the shoulders. They should never be
hung out of doors in freezing weather,
but quickly dried before the fire, or,
better, over the register, and pressed
as soon as dry enough.-New York

keeping them clean. So it IS an I'M
portant item to have all of the bedding
dry. It will be the best to lay sup
ply and store it under shelter so as to
have it on hand when needed. Good
managers for feeding hay, and tight,
convenient boxes for feeding grain
will lessen the waste.
Closets should be arranged III which
to hang harness as having it behind
the horse in the stables is, to say the
least, very injurious. In arranging
their closets care should always be
taken to have them near by in order
to save time. AS the feeding must be
done two or three times daily, and as
on many farms the horses are har-
messed once or twice every day, con-
veuience in arranging is an important
item. Every horse should have its
place. with Il halter and convenient
place to tie to. Making the horses COM
Portable will lessen materially the
quantity of feed necessary to keep
them in good condition.-St. Louis

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Rushes are degraded lilies.
Soapsuds are excellent manure.
Stunted animals never full yrecover.
Starving the animals is starving the
land.
Corn can be fed cattle without
shocking.
4 coat of manure is one of the best
mulches for anything of tender char
acter.
If q fruit tree is of full size for bear
ing and does not do SO it should be
root-pruned.
Care in oil the details is required in
handling stock in order to make
profit on them.
Clear up all the trash in the garden
and burn it if you would keep free
from cut worms.
Hogs which are being fattened
should not be overfed or allowed to
get sour stomachs
All bearing apple orchards should
be given q broadcast mulching with
barnyard manure.
In the foil it is always best to unite
ell weak colonies and get all as strong
as possible for winter.
Generally at this time empty combs
and section boxes should be removed
and preparations be made for winter
ing.
Black bees may be changed to Ital-
ians by removing the black queen and
introducing On italian queen in her
place.
At the close of the honey season
every colony should be inspected to
see if it is supplied with laying

ARRANGING CUT FLOWERS.

With very few exceptions, every
flower looks best when arranged with
the foliage Dame Nature bestows upon
it. Flowers should not be crowded.
Each one should have a fair chance,
therefore do not use o dozen flowers
when six would look far better. Buds
and foliage are as important in flower
arrangements as the flowers themselves.
Dame Nature always arranges her
flowers in this manner, and we cannot
do better than to copy her as nearly
as we can.
Different flowers need different
surroundings. Tall flowers like
gladiolus, lilies, dahlias, chrysanthe-
NUNS, need large, tall vases, while
sweet peas, nasturtiums, pansies and
other short-stemmed flowers need low
vases, bowls or baskets. In whatever
we arrange our flowers, let it be sec
ondary to the flowers themselves. 1t
should not be highly colored, so as to
'Fkill'' the coloring of the flowers, or
so elaborate as to draw attention from
them.
We are not compelled, as in former
years, to put our flowers in the regu-
lation vase, says Good Housekeeping,
Or use glass preserve dish. There
are many beautiful receptacles for
flowers, American cut glass, cut into
innumerable facets, rejecting myriad
rainbows of colors; in bowls, baskets,
and dishes of various forms There
are bowls and jugs of crystalline white,
amber color, delicate yellow, turquoise
blue, apple green and thousand and
one conceits of various kinds.
Cut flowers should be taken from the
vases each morning and d bit of the
stems cut off, all decaying leaves and
flowers taken out, and replaced in
fresh water. Soft water is better than
hard; if the latter is used, few drops,
of ammonia may be added. The cooler
the flowers are kept the longer they
will last. In the winter, when flowers
are scarce, it is q good plan to take
cut flowers from the vases at night
and place them in washbowl, keep
ing the flowers above water. Put them
in the cellar, Or q cool room where
they will not chill. They will freshen
up and keep much longer than if left
all night in q hot room. Never leave
flowers at night in sick room. It is
hurtful for the sick person and the
flowers. Farm, Field and Fireside.

a new operation for the treatment
OF roaring has been introduced to the
pubic bya prominent English veteri-
MARIAN. The principle involved is that,
roaring being originally disease of
the nervous system, the proper treat
ment would be to put the left recur-
rent nerve, which had lost its function,
on to sound motor nerve; suture it
there, and endeavor to effect thereby
union, and, if possible, to get motor
power supplied to the originally para
lyzed larynx.
10 this end, the left recurrent nerve,
having been divided, was sutured to q
branch of the spinal accessory, and as
the result of the operation, when the
time for exercising the animal arrived
the amount of noise was comparatively
slight, and in o few weeks the defect
IN the breathing was so trifing es only
to be detected by an expert. New

Studying a Rattler's Rattle.

The growth of the rattle OF the
rattlesnake has been studied by Ger
man scientist, who finds that the rattle
is frequently shed; and, after being
shed This snakes were kept in very
warm room), in three or four months
two rattles were present, their APP
pearance having nothing to do with
the casting of the skin. The snakes
were made to register the vibrations
of the rattle on smoked paper, and 1t
was found that the vibration was
compound one, consisting of the
vibration of the tail as a whole, and
of the rattle independently of the tail
vibrations. The approximate figures
of vibrations were, for the tail, seventy
five; of the rattle, 10 Il second.-

ICING WITHOUT EGGS.

4 recent newspaper article called at
tention to an excellent recipe for max
ing icing without eggs. 1t is a con-
venient thing to know at this time of
the year when we are entering upon
the days of scarce and expensive eggs.
The recipe in question directs the stir
ring of confectionery sugar-not
merely pulverized-into orange juice.
A still better way of making eggless
icing is tue following, which has been
in use in some households for q long
time, and has entirely superseded the
usual method: Put over a bright fire
u cup of graduated sugar to a quarter
cup of water. Shake together tirst,
but do not stir once after they have
been set on the stove. When it drops
into g soft ball in water take off and
set on the ice or in a dish of cold
water. When it has partially cooled
begin to stir with a fork. 1t will be-
come creamy pliable mass, if all is
well, that after favoring is added can
be spread at once on the cake. If it
should harden too much, or be at all
rough, add more water and cook it
over. The final result is perfection
for icing or for hard pudding sauce

Give a calf q proper start the first

ter care will ever make up the loss
from the unthrifty habits OF. body and
poor digestion which wrong treatment
at that stage is sure to bring on. The
housing should be:gotd and warm,
without being stuffy and i'll ventilated,
and above all things chinks and drafts
are to be avoided. A large stall in
which about ten can move around free
Nv is best and most convenient every
way.
The best fodder on the farm is none
to good for them. A handful of oats
or chop at present prices will add to
the future profit of the calf. Salt
should be provided in some form and
water as often as they care to drink
To drive calves quarter of mile on
a cold day to water hole will bring
certain harm and they will go faster
back than forward. The shed or house
in which they are kept should face the
south and have plenty Of light, for
sunshine is as essential to animal es to
plant life.
If the calves are Of equal size they
should be sorted into different lots,
and if any show signs of unthriftiness.
they should be separated and have ex-
ira care, and if possible a bit of oil
cake. Oil cake is both food and med
1clne, and if at all within reach every
farmer should lay in ton every fall.
If an acre of flax is grown ct home
