The latest and most popular remedy
for skin difficulties is thorough course
in fruit diet.
Two oranges, ice cold and juicy, are
eaten every morning before breakfast,
and often the breakfast consists only of
bowl of some delicate cereal, banana
and a dish of berries. Half lemon
is served as the first course of the lunch
con and is followed by a chop or an egg,
another banana, a sliced pineapple or
small fruits. Dinner is begun with half
q grape fruit and ended with grapes,
peaches or melons, according to the sea-
son, and oranges. ice cold again, are eat
en- before retiring.
A fruit diet is especially wholesome
and appetizing during the early spring
months, when lemon sherbet should be
used as a substitute for water as often
as agreeable to quench the thirst

While the COW i'll full flow, of milk is
the most important part of the dairy,
yet the dry COW, as we call her, must
not be neglected. 1t is very bad prac-
tiee to turn her out into the back field
to care for herself. Keep her right in
sight with the dairy, give her light
lick of feed and little salt every day.
In my early experience l lost some fine
COWS with milk fever, so called. Send
ing my brother to a reputed COW doctor
three miles away, in one case, he in
CURED of the condition of the COW and
said the COW would die, but, said he,
you tell him TO give his COWS little
salt every day and he will avoid milk
fever. To this | have since added a
handful Of oilmeal, and my losses from
milk fever are rare, although / enjoy
the distinction of being a high feeder.
When the COW comes in full flow of
milk, she will in the very nature of
things begin to reduce her system. This
reduction, if not promptly met by the
dairyman in full supply of succulent
feed, will continue until the law of self
preservation steps IN to save the life OF
the COW and the supply of milk falls
off. The diet should be light for week
or ten days, or until all Inflammation
has subsidized, and such as is given
should be of a cooling nature, as bran
mash with little oilmeal added.
After this the feed may be gradually
increased and the COW must be careful
ly guarded until she has reached her
capacity, which the skillful dairyman
will quickly discern from knowledge
of her appetite and the condition of the
excrement
Having two cows, kickers, l wished
to fatten, and having the rye, con-
cluded the two would work together
for good, but the more rye gave those
COWS the more milk they gave and the
harder they kicked. Since then / have
learned that a kicking COW is too great
luxury for dairyman. Slagle
in National Stockman.

How the Expression .sTo Be Hauled Over
the Goals" Originated.

The corruption of this saying seems
to be "called over' instead of hauled
over" It means as used nowadays to
take a person to task for shortcomings,
to scold him. Jameson takes the prov.
erb to refer to the old custom of max
ing the accused walk over burning EN-,
beers, but it more probably originated
in a more defensible medieval practice.
Whenever king or baron wanted mon
ey he tortured the unhappy Jews un-
til they either made the loan desired OF
revealed the locality of their treasure.
A common method was to haul them
over the Goals of a slow fire. The ex-
preston to sgive one roasting
probably comes from the same source.

SHE STANDS STILL WHILE MIXED.


snatched up big oats sack that had
been emptied of its contents at the mills
and ripped it open at one side and one
end. Then he threw it over the COW
and tied it around her neck The flies
could not get at her body; she could not
switch her tail in his eyes.
A better arrangement still would be
to get a coarse common cotton fabric
and make COW blanket. 1t could be
made to cover ali her neck and fit over
her horns. A cows neck is very sensi-
tive to the ravages of flies. Only one
blanket for each mixer would be suffi
cient, as it could be moved from one
animal to another, as required.

How to Relieve Mosquito Bites and In.
sect Stings.

How to Relieve Mosquito Bites and In
sect Stings.
For mosquito bites, it will be found
that the ordinary household ammonia is
as good as anything else. 1t should be
applied freely to the bite except in cases
where the bites are above the eyes. In
such cases it should not be used, for the
reason that should any of it get in the
eyes it would give considerable pain.
For flea bites, ammonia is also very
effectual. For the sting of bees, hornets
or wasps, apply the ordinary baking
soda dampened by water in the form of
a paste or ammonia. Allow it to re-
main on the part affected as long as
possible and at least for ten minutes.
The alkali in the ammonia or soda
neutralizes the poison in the bite, which
is generally acid. The witch hazel,
which is much used now, is also good
for bites of any kind. 1t neutralizes the
irritation and will do considerable in
the way of keeping children from
scratching the bites or irritated places.

ABOUT AQuARlA.
How to Keep Fish In Healthy Condi-
Don't Feed Them.


The whole secret of fish keeping is
very simple-namely, 'sdon't feed the
fish,
There are only about four or five va
rieties Of fish which will keep in an
aquarium, anyhow.
They must be fresh water fish in the
first place, for nature makes tides for
salt water, and there are no tides in an
aquarium. Secondly. there must be no
hand dipping. Every time the hand is
placed in an aquarium a fish dies, one
or more.
There is always tendency to over
crowd the aquarium. Overcrowd it, and
the fish will show whitish, yellow
growths about the mouth, fins and
gills, eventually destroying the struc-
ture. Precisely the same thing happens
in an overcrowded school, and it is com
monty called consumption.
The first symptom of this disease
which appears in fishes is white,
downy spot on some part of the body,
generally near the tail The best thing
to do with such fish is to destroy it,
for it will never recover, and the NAL
ady will affect every fish in the tank.
There is no remedy, no operation and
no cure.
ConfervR are a great trouble in aqua
RUINS. They are a green growth like
moss, settling on the sides Of the jar. If
the fish are to live, the conferya must
be cleaned out While this is being done
the fish should be lifted by a net, new
er by hand, aud placed in jar of fresh
water. If the water is too cold, make ii
warmer; if warm. make it colder, for
nothing kills fish SO soon as a rapid
change of temperature.
AS for fish, as for humanity, any
temperature above So degrees F. is toe
high, any below 45 degrees is too low.
The proper thing for the bottom OF
an aquarium is two inches of sand with
top layer of pebbles, in which to iu-
sert the plants for growth.
1t is always to be remembered that in
a we'll ventilated room, where the car
bon and oxygen are well balanced, men,
women and children will thrive and fish
will live. Hence it follows that in
apartments where people grow con-
sumptive fish will die, and that in
rooms where fish remain quietly and
contentedly at the bottom of the jar hui
man beings are doing we'll
German carp and catfish do we'll in
aquariums. The three tailed japanese
goldfish will also do we'll, but the other
river fishes are best left alone.

Clipping out the hairs in the interior
of the ears will keep a cat at home.
The hairs serve to keep out the dew and
wet that fall from the plants. When the
hairs are removed, the cat will stay at
home until they grow again rather than
be troubled with the water in her ears.
A more certain method, but one which
lew worild adopt, is to cut off her ears.

How to Massage the Scalp and Prevent
Falling Hair.


Falling Hair.
Not infrequently the scalp becomes
tight on the head. This prevents circu-
lation, the follicles of the hair become
an@mic, and as a result the hair falls
out. The only remedy is to give the
head course of massage, which is east
ly and simply done. Place hand on
each side of the upper part of the face,
with the thumbs pressed on the head be-
hind the ears and the little fingers just
above where the eyebrow begins. Then
spread out the other fingers over the
head and for ten minutes gently work
the scalp backward and forward. Final
ly with the thumb and forefnger pinch
the scalp all over, continuing until the
head begins to tingle. This loosens the
scalp from the bone and starts the cir
culation. Keep up this treatment night
and morning until the hair ceases to
fall.

the center of the square and are fastened
rope which lets the apparatus down
into the we'll.
The milk cans are fixed under the
four corners of the frame by strong
wooden hooks. Four cans at time may
thus be cooled. The beauty of this de-
vice is that it can be used to keep meat
or butter or anything else cool.
Sometimes the we'll is not large
enough to admit the square cornered
frame In that case a round hoop will
answer instead. This is one of the sim
pie conveniences that add immensely to
the happiness and we'll being of country
people.
