APPL WING STABLE MANURE

A general principle applies to all
kinds of land and soil in the applica-
ton of manure as top dressing, and
that is, never top dress land unless
there is green crop growing upon it.
Land we'll covered with late growth
of clover or of grass of any kind is
I the ideal place to apply manure at
this season of the year. An exchange
says:
The clover plants will take up all the
soluble plant food contained in the
manure and hold it ready for suisse
quent crops. straw and litter con-
tanned in the manure not soluble will
form a mulch on the surface that will
help to retain the nitrates of the soil
and thus retain not only all the plant
food contained in the manure but also
all soluble fertilizing elements or
plant food set free in the soil by
chemical or natural causes in the soil
during the winter months. This COW
ering or mulch on the soil is of in es
Unable value. We can learn much
by observing old Dame Nature in her
methods and she applies all her fer
tilizers on the surface. In her forests
she spreads covering of leaves and
twigs over her soil to protect it dur
ing winter against the beating rains
and during summer against the
scorching sunshine. Her prairies are
coverd with a dense mat Of grass
which she leaves on the surface to
decay for the same purpose.

OUR FARMERS.
CARE OF WORK HORSES

IN caring for horses, remember that
the farm horse doesn't want his skin
made too sensitive by over currying.
He perspires freely. What he does
need is to have his feet and legs taken
care of. Put your chief care upon
him at night, after his days work is
done. Clean out his feet thoroughly,
leaving no mud to dry in. He gets
rheumatism from it. You only need
simple tools to work with-first an
old broom, and finish off with a wisp
of straw, rubbing legs and feet we'll,
hard and quick. Cut off the fetlock if
you like; the feet without it dry off
more quickly. To keep HIM clean
and free from dust, light blanket OF
cotton or jute costs less than the time
for cleaning.
Then, too, the blanket keeps the
hair straight, and helps to keep it
from growing. Never blanket a
horse in the stable while he is warm,
unless you give him a dry blanket
shortly after. The driving horse
must not be fat, but lean and hard, be
we'll curried, sensitive in mouth and
skin.
The first great mistake in caring for
horses is feeding too much hay; the
second, in not feeding often enough.
A horse should be fed four times
daily, and half the days feed should
ooyooo oftop O'clock of riOht More
horses are hurt by over feeding of hay
than grain. A horse should not work
over five hours without feed, and diff
ferent horses require different food.
Some horses do better on straw than
hay.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Modern Writing Desk and It's Ap-
point-nents- Mince Meat Fer Pies.
The Revival Of the Madras.

The writing desk in its modem da1n.
tiness is a very attractive affair and is
priced by every woman who is fond Of
pretty and convenient home ado1 .lments.
The principal charm Of a design pre-
sented by The Decorator and Furnisher
is artistic simplicity. 1t is well pro-
portioned, neat little affair we'll adapt
ed to a corner of the home room, ard
the accommodations are ample for the
correspondence of the average woman.
II one has taste for joinery and the
ability to lay out the working plans, a
little desk may be made by the home
amateur at comparatively small expense.
Of course the desk itself, however
pretty, needs the many necessary little
artistic appointments, and the opportu-
mites for securing such are many. The
fancy goods stores and counters are
crowded with dainty desk 'fixings" at
wide range Of prices and quality. Sill
yer, of course, is the leader, and the
designs for inkstands, writing pads, pen
holders, etc. allow wide range for Sc
lection
If the purse is comparatively light,
there are other materials just as artistic

Why YOU SHOULD KEEP HENS

Because you ought by their means
to convert a great deal of the waste
of the farm into money, in the shape
of eggs and chickens for market.
Because with Intelligent manage
ment they ought to be all-year-reve-
nue. producers, excepting, perhaps,
about two months, during moulting
season.
Because poultry will yield you a
quicker return for the capital invest
ed than any of the other department S
of agriculture.
Because the manure from the poul
try house will make valuable COM
post for use in either vegetable gar
den or orchard. The birds them
selves, if allowed to run in the orchad,
will destroy many injurious insects.
Because while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in
certain sections, poultry can be
raised for table use or to lay eggs in
all parts of the country.
Because it will bring the best re-
turns in the shape of new-laid eggs
during the winter season when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
Because to start poultry raising on
the farm requires little or no capital.
Under any circumstances, with
proper management, poultry can be
made, with little cost, valuable adj
iunct to the farm.

Those things which constitute the
true charm of a home cannot be
bought or secured by the labor Of
hirelings. lis only the mistress of
the house, the wife and mother,
through her love and union Of interest
with her husband and children, who,
guided by her affection, will labor TO
bring that charm about her household
which springs fro IN systematic labor,
scrupulous neatness and economy, a
finely appointed table. with daintily
prepared food, and servediwith exquis-
tie taste. No lady of the highest talent
or accomplishments need feel that
she demeans herself by giving her
most earnest attention to the beauty
and comfort of her home and the
careful ordering of everything con-
nected with the kitchen department.
Low down as foolish ideas of gentility
have been accustomed to place that
department, it has much more to do
with the comfort Or discomfort, the
peace and happiness, or the discord
and evil temper, of the whole family
than can be gained from elegant or
fashionable parties, and all that ETH
quette demands in fashionable life.
No girl, whether from the lowest or
highest position, is fit to become
wife-a mistress of the home-who
has not been carefully educated in all
the accomplishments and details of the
kitchen

DR.. W. L. Moore, chief of the wealth
er bureau at Washington, who is both
physician and meteorological, says that
during the months of January, Feb
ruary and March 1900 suicides were re-
ported in the United States. In July,
August and September there were
1900. There were 100 murders and
so persons lynched during the three
cold months, and $500 murders and
113 hanged or lynched during the
the three hot months. Investigations
are being conducted in regard to the
connection between crime and atmos-
pherjc conditions.

One Minute Cough Cure, cures.
That is what it was made for.

On the approach of a thunder storm
French peasants often make up very
smoky fire, says Industries and Iron,
in the belief that safety from light
ming is thus assured. By some this is
deemed superstition, but Schuster
shows that the custom is based on
reason, inasmuch as the smoke acts
as a good conductor for carrying
away the electricity slowly and safe
ly. He points out that in 1000 cases
of damage by lightning 6.3 churches
and s.5 mills have been struck, while
the number of factory chimneys has
only been O.3.

Mince Meat For Pies.

The following timely recipe is from
Mrs Lincoln's cookbook:
A cupful chopped meat, p cupful
raisins, 1 q cupful currants, p cupful
brown sugar, 1-3 cupful molasses, 3
cupfuls chopped apples, a cupful meat
liquor, 2 teaspoonfuls salt, 2 teaspoon
fuls cinnamon, half teaspoonful mace,
half teaspoonful powdered cloves, a
lemon (grated rind and juice, one
fourth piece citron, cupfu1 cider, 3
teaspoonfuls rosewater. Mix in the or
der given, using enough of the meat
liquor to make quite moist, and cook in
a porcelain kettle until the apples and
raisins are soft Do not add the cider Or
rosewater until the mixture is cooked.
Meat from the lower part Of the
round, that has little fat and no bone,
is the best for pie meat.

BORAX.

The first issue of the Western
Homes, published at Topeka, Kansas,
contains practical suggestions. The
following is one of them: Borax has
great variety of uses. It is a great
purifier. Wash out the sink and clean
the kitchen table with it to keep them
sweet. 1t is good wash for many
skin diseases, though it is poisonous
to some persons. It should never be
used too freely by any, as it combines
with the oil of the skin and hair, leav-
ing the skin dry and the hair brashy.
1t softens water and if dishes must be
washed in hard water, it will prove a
great help. In the laundry, it makes
the washing easier and helps whiten
clothes, especially if soap containing
borax is used. Strong borax water
will aid in removing stains made by
machine grease. 1t is good to cleanse
brushes, combs, silver and glass. It
is good gargle for sore throat. 1t is
said that tiny pinch put in the wat
er wherein the face is washed will re-
move freckles, if persisted in. The
fact that it is poisonous to some must
be remembered in this connection.
1t will destroy reaches. 1t whitens
the teeth and it is good wash for in
famed eyes.

How to Keep Food Hot.

When it is necessary to keep meal
hot for belated conner, do not set the
plate holding the food in a hot oven,
thus discoloring the china as well as
drying the food. Instead place the plate
upon the fire over a pan Of boiling wa
ter, covering the plate with pan that
will just fit over the edge Of the plate.
The food will keep hot, and there will
be enough steam from the boiling water
in the lower pan to keep the plate moist
and prevent it's contents becoming dried,
says one authority in such matters.

the madras curtain was at it's height.
Since that time Irish point, embroidered
