HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Paint can be removed from glass by
rubbing it with hot strong vinegar.
A little borax added to the water In
which flannel and other wooden goods
are washed keeps the texture soft.
A teaspoonful Of the best whisky
added to cup Of beef tea for an invalid
is an excellent way to give stlmu-
liant.
A bag of faxseed worked in water fer
some time makes good wash for var
nished paint and keeps the paint
bright.
A little finely grated or chopped lem
on peel and little lemon Juice are a
very nice substitute for capers or pars-
Icy in butter sauce, to eat with boiled
mutton.
A pinch OF powdered sugar and
another Of cornstarch beaten in with
the yolks of eggs will keep an omelet
from collapsing. Beat the whites stiff
and then cut them into the yolks.
To clean mirrors sponge them per-
fectly free from all dirt, drying with
soft cloths, and when quite dry rub
little powdered blue over the glass,
polishing it finally with a soft old silk
handkerchief.
About the proper amount of Sugar
for ice cream is six ounces to each part
of cream. With less sugar the ice
cream is not so smooth, and more ia
apt to make 1t too rich, SO 1t will not
beat up SO well and will melt quicker.

Trouble for Those who AbbrovlAte.

Did you ever think of it? A great
problem is soon to occupy the minds
of the people Of the world. In four
years the sweep of time will carry us
into a new century, and the figures
which indicated the century Of 1900 will
be changed for 1900. When this time
comes can we abbreviate the year in
writing and printing as we do now in
1896? II we may abbreviate how shall
1t be done? How will it look, 90 or
49,? When you write at the top of your
letter to the editor March IA, &c." 1t

A curious development Of the bicycle
craze is its juvenescent effect upon
women. Clad in the abbreviated skirt
that convention has at last declared
that she may wear npon the wheel, tho
most venerable of them looks for all
the world like young, kittenish thing
OF 16. From the chronological point Of
view the short skirt levels all ranks.
Were 1t not for certain physiognomic
distinctions 1t would be hard to tell
the difference between grandmother
and granddaughter when dismounted,
This isn't altogether because short
skirts have so long been the emblem
and insignia Of youth, either. No lit
tie reflection upon the matter soon con-
vinces you that there is yet another
and more important cause. Grand
mothers feet and ankles are just as
youthful-lOoking as her granddaugh-
ter's, which proves the interesting fact
that the extremities are somehow proof
against the ravages of time. Hair may
grizzle, eyes may dim and cheeks may
fade; feet and ankles retain their
adolescent grace. But it has been only
possible to discover this since the ad-
vent Of the bicycle. The thing has
its inconvenience, though. 1t Is con-
fusion, not to say irritating, when the
supposed "little girl" walking toward
you turns out to be a middle-aged
matron or well-seasoned spinster. II
is noticeable, though, that no such
woman ever minds being told of such
q mistake.

ERRORS ABOUT SHEEP.
Hints About the Introduction of Scab and
Treatment for Tick.

Hints About the Introduction of Scab and
Treatment for Tick.
Many sheep men believe that scab can
be produced by exposure and i'll treat
ment. It can only be produced by con-
tagion, and the flock that has never had
the opportunity to contract it will
never have it. It may be introduced by
buying diseased sheep, not observed to
be. diseased, and exposure brings it to
light, and then it is supposed to be
caused by exposure. Scab is disease
due to a living mite in the skin of the
sheep, and cannot be produced by ex-
posture any more than a lamb can ba
produced by good care. It is also
thought that scab and other diseases
of like character can be cured by feed
ing the sheep sulphur. Internally given
it is mild and good laxative, but its
real virtue for scab lies in it's use as an
ointment.
Some sheep men believe that the sheep
tick can be destroyed by feeding sui
phur. This is another error. Sheep
may be fed sulphur until they sicken Of
it, and still the tick will be as lively as
ever. There is no medicine that can
be given to sheep that will kill the ticks
and not at the same time kill the sheep
Still others believe that grub in the
head is very fatal disease. and that the
grub bores through the skull into the
brain, causing death. The accumula-
ton of grubs in fronta al recesses is what
causes the trouble, but one sheep raiser
says that in IS years experience with
sheep he never lost one animal by grub
in the head. Plenty of grub in the
stomach and dark place for the sheep
to go to when the flies that lay the eggs
are about is his treatment for grub in
the head. An occasional grub will get
through, but it is not the occasional
one that disturbs the sheep. On the
contrary, it is the numbers of them.
Another common error is that sheep
should be shorn at certain time of the
moon in order to start the growth of
the next fleece. The moon has no more
effect with the growth of wool than
have any other planets. When the time
comes for shearing and the shearer is
ready and the weather favorabl one
may shear without consulting the al.
manac. The same almanac is con.
suited, too, at docking and castrating
time, but different time on the moon
is sought, perhaps. One moon for
one thing and another moon for an
other thing. Occasionally you will find
a sheep man man who will tell you that
sheep do not need water. They need
water and plenty of it, and it should be
pure we'll water rather than stagnant-
branch or pond water. It is in the
latter that Turk dangers of which the
shepherd very often scarcely dreams.
Internal parasites are very often pro-
duced in this way and this is especially
true of the fuke.-Dakota Field and

Texas,

In the Agricultural line, Texas leads all
other states in the variety of it's products.
Cotton. corn and the cereals grow and are
raised in every section of the state and in
the central and southern portions sugar
cane and sorghum are proftably cultivated.
On the Gulf Coast two and three crops of
vegetables are raised each year. Berries are
shipped six weeks in advance of the home
crop in the north. Pears, peaches, plums,
oranges, figs, olives and nuts all grow abun-
dainty and can be marketed from two to
three weeks in advance of the California
crops. Large quantities of rice are now
grown.
II the land seeker, the home seeker and
the settler desires to secure farm larger
than the one he occupies, on vastly more
reasonable terms; it he wants more land to
cultivate, a greater variety Of crops to
harvest, with proportionately increased re-
Enumeration, at a less outlay for cost of pro-
duction; if he wants an earlier season with
CORRESPONDENCE higher prices; if he wants
milder winters, all the year pasturage for
his stock, improved health, increased bodily
comforts and wealth and prosperity, he
should go to Texas.
