Natural Waters.

All natural waters contain greater
or less amount of mineral matter in
solution. Rain water has the smallest
percentage of solid impurities OF any,
and therefore it is taken as the stand
ard variety of soft water
The terms soft and hard, however,
as applied to water are scientifically
considerd purely relative.
Water is usually reckoned to be
''soft' when it contains less than one
five-thousandth part of it's weight of
mineral ingredients and "hard' when
it contains more than one four-thOu-
sandth.
Soft water has the property of easily
forming a lather with soap and is
therefore suitable for washing pur-
poses, while hard water will only
form lather, and that imperfectly.
with considerable difficulty.
A mineral water has more than one
two-thousandth of its weight of natur-
nj dissolved solids, and medicinal
water is variety of mineral water
containing varying percentage of
dissolved natural solid or gaseous
drugs

Keen One Breed of Poultry.

There are many good reasons why
only one breed of fowls should be
kept 1t is less trouble, in fact We
might say that it is we'll nigh impos-
sible for the majority of farmers to
keep more and have them pure. Should
several breeds be kept it is only a
question of time until they become
crossed. and consequently soon there
after degenerate into mongrels. If
only one breed is kept that one can be
gradually improved until the fowls
take high rank among the fancy
breeds. Those that are sent to mar
ket are uniform in size and color. and
will invariably command higher prices
than an assorted lot.
The eggs are of the same color and
size and will be given the preference
over those that come to market in all
colors and sizes. As before stated,
there are many reasons why only one
breed should be kept, and equally as
many reasons why more than one
should not be kept. Try next season
only one and see if the results are not
more profitable.-Home and Farm.

A Succession of String Eeans.

String beans take first rank among
our different vegetables, and many pre-
fer them to peas, which are generally
conceded to be the favorite. They
are remarkably easy to bring into
growth and child can manage them
successfully when once a few simple
cultural rules are understood. In the
latitude of New York it is not safe to
SOW much before the first week in
May. After that successive sowingS
may be made at intervals of two
weeks, and lasting and appetizing
supply may be had throughout the
summer.
They should be planted in the direct
sun if the best results are desired;
planted in the shade of trees or build
ings they will not amount to much.
They are partial to a sandy or gravel
ly loan, bountifully enriched with ma
nure. However. when forced to they
will grow in almost any kind of soil.
For convenience plant them in hills
one foot apart and rows two feet wide.
For abfamily of three or four two rows
of six or 12 hills each will give suffi-
cient supply. Plant four to six beans
in a hill and cover 12 inches deep
Hoe around them and keep the weeds
down, but remember that rust will at
tack them if hoed while the leaves are
wet When beans are to be canned
for exhibition only one plant should
be left in a hill and allow only half
a dozen pods to develop. When the
beans begin to swell pinch the top
out of the plant to turn the strength
in another channel.-Benjamin B.
Keech, in New England Homestead.

Eattaninr Prosnectiye Wives.

Like the Turks and many other
dwellers in oriental lands, the Moors
prefer 'moon-faced" wives rather
than lean ones, and are more solicitous
as to the number of pounds which
their brides weigh than about the
stock of accomplishments they pos
sess. A girl is put under the process
of fattening when she is about twelve
years of age. Her hands are tied
behind her. and she is seated on n
carpet during so many hours every
day, while her papa" stands over her
with a matraQue, or big stick, and her
mother at times pops into her mouth Il
ball of couscoussou, or stiff maize
porridge kneaded up with grease, and
just enough to be swallowed without
the patient choking.) If the unfortun-
ate victim declines to be stuffed she

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,

How to Make Vegetables Tender.

1t is very much easier to cook vege-
tables the right way than the wrong
way. The trouble is most cooks ignore
the fine points of the process. One
is never to cook wilted thing, if it
is in any manner possible to revive
it. Whether things come from the
home garden or the market, they are
the better for standing in cold water
until they are crisply plump. Wilted
tissues always cook tough and stringy,
to say nothing of losing one-half the
proper flavor.
Another thing worth knowing is the
difference it makes to have the water
boiling briskly when the green stuff
goes into it. Still another is the i'm
portance of skimming. No matter how
carefully things have been prepared,
in boiling they will throw off waste
and effete PARTICLES, which rise as
froth, and, unless removed in time,
either cake upon the edges of the
Stewpan or incrust what is cooking
within it. The skimming needs to be
done within the first 10 minutes after
putting things over the fire. Do not
put on lids unless there is an extreme
need of haste This applies even to
Irish potatoes. which are. however,
very much better steamed than boiled

How to Treat the Farm Horse.

The horse is the farmers most val
liable property; indeed, in reducing the
wild lands to cultivated fields he is the
farmers indispensable helpmate. Yet,
notwithstanding that the patient serv-
ing animal is SO valuable and worthy,
it is lamentably true that he too often
meets with cruel neglect and even bar
barous treatment. Mere self interest
should lead men to treat all their farm
animals with kindness, which so evil
IDENTIFY enhances their profitableness.
We often see these animals turned out
and exposed to all kinds of weather,
or housed in filthy, i'll ventilated sta
bles, poorly fed, overworked, and what
is too common, yanked and jerked
about as though they were creatures
of no sensibility. Now, the horse has
feelings and sense. He is sensible to
kind usage and freely reciprocates it.
Only teach him his duty by gentle
methods and, except in rare instances.
ne will obey to the utmost of his
strength.
The horse should be trained, not
broken. However, in modern times,
the treatment of farm horses, especial
ly in regard to their service of man,
has undergone great Improvement.
Once the phrase was "break the colt
or horse" and which too often meant
to scourge the animals will out Of
him, leaving but broken spirited
. brute. To bend the animals will is
easier, if we only know how than to
break it; but the bending, in order to
be permanent, must be accomplished
in carly life, and the stronger the will
of the animal. the more necessary it
is to attend to it early Where the
farmer cannot devote his own time to
the training of his own stock, or has
not the patience, he should employ
some one to take charge of this busi-
ness for him. Familiarize the young
animals to being handled, bridled. sad
died harnessed and so on and by the
time they are old enough for service
they will also be about as we'll quail

mind that the horses willing subser-

the treatment of the horse. While hay,

French Way to Cook Peas.

There is scarcely another vegetable
that loses so much by not being fresh
as green peas, as every one who has
eaten them directly from the garden
as well as from the market knows. III
buying plump green pods should be
selected, those that are shriveled and
yellow being old. 1t is a good idea,
unless they are just picked, to soak
them in cold water for an hour or more
cooking peas is to be commended 1t
is to put in the bottom of the sauce
pan lettuce leaves and lay the peas
over them. Very little water. not more
,han two or three tablespoonfuls. If
any, will be required, as the water adj
herring to the lettuce after washing
and that which is drawn from it by
the heat will be sufficient When the
peas are done, remove the lettuce, saw
ing all of the juice, or
drain. and season only with
cream, butter, salt and pepper. 1t
is great mistake to use soda in peas,
beans or greens. as many people do,
for the purpose of giving them a green
color. as the flavor, which is impaired
by the means, is more important than
the appearance. Brown sugar, it is
said, will have the same effect In the
peas it will add to the flavor rather
than otherwise, as some of the sugar
in the vegetable is lost in the boiling.
Most people. in fact, put little sugar
in them while they are cooking.
