HOW TO BUY A HORSE.
Ne Careful, and Place No Faith In tn,
Words of the Seller.

Ne Careful, and Place No Faith In tho
Words of the Seller.
An old horseman says in the Scien-
tific American: II you want to buy a
horse, don't believe your own brother.
Take no mans word for 1t. Your eye
is your market. Don't buy horse in
harness Unhitch him and take every
thing off but his halter, and lead him
around. 1.-The has corn or is stiff. or
has any failing, you can see it. Let
him go himself way, and IL he walks
right into anything, you know that he
Is blind. No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are, he can't see any
more than a bat. Back him, too. Some
horses show their weaknesses or tricks
in that way when they don't in any
other. But, be as smart as you can,
you'll get caught sometimes. Even
the expert gets stuck. A horse may
look ever SO nice and go great pace,
and yet have fits. There isn't a man
who could tell it until something hap
pens. Or he may have weak back
Give him the whip and off he goes for
a mile two, then all of sudden he
stops on the road. After rest he starts
again, but he soon stops for good,
and nothing but derrick can
start him. The weak points about a
horse can better be discovered while
standing than while moving. If he is
sound, he will stand firmly and square
ly on his limbs without moving them,
with legs plumb and naturally poised;
or If the foot is taken from the ground,
and the weight taken from it, disease
may be suspected, or, at least, tender
ness, which is the precursor of disease.
If horse stands with his feet spread
apart or straddles with his hind legs,
there is weakness in his loins and
the kidneys are disordered. Heavy
pulling bends the knees. Blush,
milky cast eyes in horses indicate moon
blindness or something else. A bad
tempered one keeps his ears thrown
back; a stumbling horse has blemished
knees. When the skin is rough and
harsh and does not move easily to the
touch, the horse is heavy eater and
digestion bad. Never buy horse
whose breathing organs are at all
impaired. Place your ear at the heart,
and if wheeling sound is heard, it is
an indication of trouble.

DIR. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Ninety-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, i'm all It's
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds Of
living witnesses to the fact that, III all its
earlier stages, consumption is n durable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
cenfdee Of cases, and we believe, mir oS
per cent. are cured by DIR. Picrce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as TO induce repeated
blcedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious cxpectoration (nclud-
ing tubercular niattcr), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do YOU doubt that hundreds OF such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever III mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiccd and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
1t surpasscs, i'll curative power over this
fatal inalady, all other medicines with
which they arc acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy 'emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed 10 bene-
fit, or had only seemed TO benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, wliiskey
and various preparations of the hypoplios-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain

birch, the magrolias and the tulip
tree, three species of catalpa. several
kinds of ash, the different elms, the
poplars and the willows Intelligent
" grouped together on the grounds,
no observing person could fail, after
time, to know more of all these diff
ferent trees than many others do in a
whole life time.
The same mode of planting might
with great propriety be adopted for
the larger and medium-sized hardy
shrubs. Each of the following en-
braces many species and varieties:
Cydonia, Spir9a, Syringa, Diervilla,
Cornus, Deutzia. Philadelphus and
others. These are commonly planted
irregularly and in promiscuous man
ner, but In groups composed of the
several allied species they would pos
sess great additional interest as well
as instructive value.
by way of illustration we give n
simple plan of grounds laid out and
planted in the manner proposed. The
taller trees are of course planted in
the rear or more remote portions of
the larger grounds; and for small
places shrubs only would be used, as
occupying less room, admitting nearer
planting and as not growing beyond
reach. Such climbing shrubs rs the
several species of Ampelopsis, Akebia,
Lonicera, Menispermum and Bignonia
might well occupy the more remote
and secluded portions of the grounds.
In this plan, when there is enough
open lawn to render visible to the
view at one or more different points,
the different paintings, the medium
and larger groups of shrubs are placed
towards the front of the dwelling on
the nearer sides and the trees in the
more remote portions. The position
of the evergreens, shown by the darker
shades, may be governed by circum-
stances, and in some eases they Will
be found of value as partial screens
from prevailing winter winds. --Coun-
try Gentleman.

HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

Egg Frosting: White of egg, and
as much water as egg. Stir together,
but do not beat. Then stir in enough
pulverized sugar to make it spread
well.-Housekeeper.
-Cabbage: Slice crisp cabbage fine,
cook in sauce pan with a very little
water till tender. Watch it carefully
while 1t boils dry. Season with salt,
then moisten well with sour cream.
Serve hot-Ohio Farmer.
-Butternut Balls: Chop butternut
meats very fine, add little of your
favorite spice. Make frosting as II
for cake, thicken it with the chopped
nuts till 1t eau be handled. Rub the
hands with a very little butter, roll the
paste into little balls and put them on
buttered tins allowing space for spread-
ing.-Orange Judd Farmer.
TO Clean Leather: CASTLE soap in
warm water, or little soda in warm
water, will remove grease. For car
riage leather milk and water is good
To remove ink-stains from leather use
oXalic acid diluted. This acid Is poi
son, and must be used with care. In
dIlution it may be used one ounce of

Orange Cake: Two cups of sugar,
one-half cup of butter, three eggs, one
half cup of sweet milk, one-half cup of
water, three teaspoons of baking pow
der, three cups of -four. Flavor with
orange. Filling: Two eggs, piece of
butter the size OF walnut, one cup of

-One of the most effective portieres
is silk-rag curtain made of bits of
silk of all kinds and description. Vel
vets, satins, brocades and bright bits
of every kind are used to make it. They
are sewn together and cut of uniform
width, like the rags of rag-carpet.
Almost any weaver of rag carpet could
probably weave such portieres. They
have very picturesque, oriental look,
that is far more effective than any
portiere that can be purchased any
where near the price.
-Cocoanut Cream Candy: Four cup
fuls of granulated sugar. one cupful of
cream or milk, two cupfuls of shredded
cocoanut, one teaspoonfhl of vanilla.
Put the sugar and milk ihto a porce-
lain-lined kettle; stir till dissolved and
then let it boil five minutes without
stirring. Add the cocoanut and boil
one minute longer. Test by dropping
into cold water; if done, it will not mix
with the water, but will form soft
ball that can be taken out with the
fingers. Pour at o1lce into bowl, add
the vanilla, and beat rapidly with a
spoon for five minutes, or until il
creams. Have ready buttered pan
lined with paraffinc paper. Drop some
of the cream upon this paper; if it re.
/ tains its form, it is creamed enough.

This pipe has small openings at regu-

tom of the tank admits the cooler air
farther below the benches, which is
heated and carried up the pipe to be
distributed again. A small pipe passes
from the lamp chamber up through
the hot-air tank and up through the
roof, so that no odor of combustion of
kerosene oil remains in the green
house. The tank and pipes can be had
at small cost of any tinsmith. The
size, and whether more than one such
heating apparatus shall be used, de-
ponds upon the size of the room to be

be advisable to have an apparatus of
this sort at each side, so that each Of
the side benches may have "a pipe be-

TO BREAK Chill DREN OF LYING.

A Kindergarten Teacher Says Mothers
Are Constantly Asking the Question.
II am constantly besieged by anx-
ious mothers who want to know how
children may be cured of the pernicious
habit of falsifying," says a prominent
Chicago kindergarten teacher. Zone
would think that to lie must be ma
tional evil. The invariable rejoinder
to the query is that there are four
kinds of lies to which youthful men
and women are addicted. each malady
requiring different medicine. There
is the lie of excessive imagination, be-
cause of which the child continually
exaggerates. The cure is incubation
of exactness of observation, either by
precept or in play. The second in the
category is the egotistic lie, the medi-
cine for which is objective work
that will take thought from self.
Fear of punishment will also induce
child to falsify, and this third class
must be cured by sympathy. In all
such cases the child must be shown the
justice of his punishment, and the last
class of childish prevaricators includes
those addicted to the jealous lie. For
instance, a child may say he has GER
tain toy which he has not, simply be-
cause the boy across the street has one.
The only possible cure for this class is

FOREST PRESERVATION.
How to Increase the Value of Wood Lots
Already in Existence.

How to Increase the Value Of Wood Lots
Already in Existence.
In order to improve our existing
wood lots, and cause them to be in
creasing in value, it is only necessary
to keep up constant succession Of
young, thrifty trees of the best vari-
cites. We can do this easily and
cheaply by observing certain condi-
tions. OF these the first and most
essential is to allow no stock
to run in our wood lots for the
purpose of pasturage. This must be
an infexible rule. If we desire good
crop of corn we do not use the field
VIII ere the crop is growing for pas
ture.
Somehow or other the average
food his cattle can obtain by browsing
through his woods is so much clear
gain. This is sad miscalculation.
Some land can be profitably used for
pasture. Some can be prohtably de-
voted to trees. But pasture ard wood
land cannot occupy the same area. 1t
must be either the one or the other, or
else it is mere apology for each.
Every farmer realizes that unoccupied
ground in his cornfield diminishes the
profit of his crop. He dislikes to see
vacant spaces even though the missing
hills be few in number. A crop of
timothy, however, is not so regarded.
Usually less than half, often a very
much smaller portion, of land called
"woods" is actually occupied by trees.
These vacant places should be filled
and all of the land utilized. This can
be quickly done by breaking the
ground with pillow, strong harrow
or cultivator. and scattering thereon
the seeds of the ash, white oak, chest
nut, walnut hickory, and those of
other valuable species. The young
trees should stand thick on the ground,
and then they will grow tall and
straight, forming trunks instead OF
branches. All inferior varieties and
dcformed specimens should be cut out.
