DIPPING FOR PARASITES.
There Ia No Other Successful Way OF
Removing Troublesome Pests
from Sheep.

Parasites of all kinds are not only
injurious to the wool of sheep, but to
the health of the animals as we'll, and
dipping to destroy them should be re-
sorted to wherever and whenever they
are present at shearing time. There
is no other way to remove the trou-
blesome pests except by repeating dip
ping, and sometimes it requires good
many to accomplish the desired end.
Ticks will worry the thin, weak sheep
more than the strong ones, and they
seem to congregate on them in such
numbers as to cause their death.
Sometimes the ticks appear on the
sheep shortly after dipping, and the
impression is made that the dipping
did not free them from the parasites;
but this is a mistake. The trouble was
that the ticks were in the sheds or
stables where the sheep were kept,
and by putting the animals lack in
their infested quarters the ticks soon
covered them again. The living quar-
tiers of the sheep must also be treated
with the solution by spraying and
washing and in this way we protect
the animals from future invasion.
A second dipping should follow the
first about ten days later, and the liv-
ing quarters should also receive Sec
ond spraying. Sometimes whore the
parasites are very numerous q third
dipping and spraying may pay-Bos-

A CORNER CUPBOARD.
now Any Bright H0usekeeper Caz
1mprovise One Easily and
Very Economically.

A corner cupboard has the advan-
tage of being useful and effective
and at the same time exceedingly
economical in the matter of space
it occupies. Such corner cupboard
as sketched would be useful in a
small flat and it can be easily and
economically contrived. If one can
utilize the walls for the two sides of
the cupboard one saves a lot of trou-
bic. If the room is a low one then
the cupboard could extend from
floor to ceiling, but if the room is
high then the cupboard might be
from five feet six inches to six feet
from floor to top. The front should
be from 80 to sc inches wide. Two
fiat pieces of wood, some three inch
es wide and about three-quarters of
an inch thick, should be got out the
length of the height of the cupboard.
These pieces could be chamfered at
the edges, or couple of grooves
taken out with plane to add to the
appearance, or. they can left just
fat.
Now get out two further strips
about same width, but half an inch
thick, to go at right angles to the
uprights (see ground plan; the up
rights are A and the side pieces 81;
we leave the main structural details
of our cupboard. The use of the
side pieces B is to fill out the narrow
angles made by the front pieces A
and the wall. B should be glued to
A and screws might be put through
A at top and bottom to add to the
strength. The cornice at top and
plinth at bottom are builders wide
molding and should be cut just to
occupy the angle. The ends, where
they come against the wall, will
have to be leveled or cut like the
inter of a frame so that they fit
close to the wall, which they would
not do if the molding were cut off
square. The cornice and plinth will
keep the uprights in position when
nailed to the wall. The shelves
should now be got out of half-inch
deal. They will be triangles, with
the two ends which come against
the uprights cut off, and all the
shelves will be the same shape.
They will be held up or rest upon
three blocks Cd in plan). The blocks
against the uprights could be glued

or six times the quantity of water,
may be applied with success upon the

to them and screwed as we'll, and
the sides of the blocks coming
against the wall could be nailed to
the wall, thus forming not only sup
ports to the shelves, but keeping the
uprights in position. Settle how far
the shelves are to be apart and then
carefully measure the spaces off on
both uprights, so that when the
shelves are put in they will be hor-
izontal. The blocks in the angle of
the walls can be nailed on, having
carefully marked the width of the
spaces, so that these blocks CORE
spond with those against the up
rights. In mailing to- wall, it is
better to make a hole with fine
bradawl before driving home the
nails. The sketch shows seven
shelves, as the one behind the cor
nice forms the top of the cupboard.
There need not be one at the bot
tom, the floor doing duty
Having now the two uprights, with
the cornice, plinth and shelves ready,
proceed to put the cupboard togeth-
er, which should not be difficult
task if the measurements are COR
rect. The cornice and plinth should
be carefully nailed to the walls.
The projecting shelf from which
the curtain is hung is contrived by
getting out a piece of wood to fit in
front of the shelf and round the two
uprights. The corners must be cut
to the angles of the wall to which
it might be nailed. A small rod
should be fastened underneath this
projecting shelf to carry the curtain,
which takes the place of door.
1t can be weighted at the bottom
and if it runs at the back of the
plinth the dust will be kept out.
The woodwork should be painted
or stained and vanished. Those
who have not the conveniences for
getting out the wood should ask a
carpenter to do this. Fixing into
position would not be an arduous
task.-Chicago Daily News.

BRACE FOR END FENCE POSTS,

BRACE FOR END FENCE POSTS,
oak post, cut notch three or four
inches deep, six or eight inches from
the bottom of the post. For an
anchor take piece of oak five by
eight inches by four feet in length,
and place it as shown in illustration;
this need not be nailed to the post,
and can be placed in any position
after the post is set in the ground;
pack gravel firmly around the post.
1t should be set not less than FIVE
feet in the ground; cut notch one
inch deep IL inches from the top of
the post for the brace, for which use
four by six, ten feet long, placing
one end on fiat rock inclined toward
the post, as shown in the illustra-
ton, as it furnishes more resistance
to the pressure of the brace, which is
downward and forward, a one-half-
inch iron rod may be used from the
lower end of the brace back to the
post, or four or five strands of No.
9 wire, if wire is used, be
sure TO draw the wire as tightly as
possible before twisting them. A
large post, if set properly in this
manner, will hold any farm fence.
The anchor must be placed on the
front side of the post, as the tend
ency of post brace in this manner is to
be pulled forward, and not being forced
backward, as many claim.-T. G. Shir-

THE CARE OF HORSES.
some Timely Hints About the Use of
Bandages After the Horse Has
Done Hard Work.


layer of cotton batting for one hour
after severe work support the small
blood vessels and absorbents in and
underneath the skin, and prevent fill
ing and stiffness, says the Horse
Breeder. If allowed to remain on
longer they have the opposite effect
from what is desired. After the
bandages have been on for one hour,
they should be removed and each leg
briskly hand-rubbed for five minutes.
This will do more good, by exciting
the absorbents to act, than four hours
pressure on bandages, which will do
more harm than good. Bandaging the
legs would not prevent laminitis.
That is the result of predisposition
to rheumatism and also from not prop
er1y cooling the horse out. It is not
necessary to walk horse out after
being logged, only after workout.
After horse has been given fast
workout or fast heat in race and he
is very warm and perspiring freely
you must cool his head off at once by
sponge and cold water, so as to change
the current of blood away from the
brain, otherwise he might have a
hemorrhage from a rupture of the
small blood vessels in the head. If,
after the finish of a heat, the horse
does not perspire freely he must be
sponged all over with hot water, COW
cred with blankets, and be walked
until be sweats very freely, and great
care must be exercised in cooling him
out. The surface of the body must
always be kept very warm and dried
very slowly. He may have plenty of
cold water, but very little at time,
and while being cooled out little hay
also. He must not be fed grain until
he is perfectly cool.

THE NECK BEAUTIFUL.
How Every Woman May Present an
Appearance Pleasing to Herself
and Her Admirers.

Nothing is more aggravating to the
average woman than the black, gray
or brown streak that shows around
the neck after the wearing of high
dress collars. The mark is often the
result of bad dye in the facing of the
collar, and half an hour devoted to
facing all of ones collars with white
silk or even white cotton will be well
spent. Sometimes the rubbing of the
stiff band scars the neck, and scrub
bing with hard soap only makes the
skin seem more sensitive, and so still
more darkly bruised.
Loosen the collars a little and have
them finished at the top with soft
roll of the material. Such finish is
always becoming, and often removes
the trouble in little while.
If the mark must be taken off at
short notice, perhaps because a dress
cut little low in the neck is to be
worn, then anoint the flesh thorough
ly with warm vaseline. Use a soft
linen cloth dipped in vaseline, apply
ing 1t as it it were soap, and turning
the cloth whenever the applied sur
face gets soiled. This is very impor-
tant, or you will only scrub the stain
in deeper.
Let the neck "rest" a little while.
and then with warm soapsuds and
very soft sponge wash off the grease
thoroughly. Ri nse with hot water
several times and then battle with
cold water till the skin is chilled. This
should close the pores and leave the
skin dry and smooth. Unless this is
accomplished the open pores and
greasy surface will only promptly at
tract the stain again.
When the skin is entirely dry, dust
well with dry oatmeal. Rub off light
ly, and when the natural color of the
skin is regained, after all the manipu-
lation, the neck will, in nine cases out
of ten, be pretty and white.
When you are not in quite so much
hurry use warm soapsuds and sponge
rubbing, rinse thoroughly and chill
with cold water. In stubborn cases
paste of bread dough bound about
the throat over night by linen scarf
will leave the skin smooth and pure
when washed off with warm water in
the morning.
Don't employ rough methods, don't
use ammonia, and never scrub the neck
if you desire to make the skin beauti-
full and white. Whatever bruises or
enlarges the pores of the skin only
prolongs the difficulty of removing
stains.-Chicago American.

USES OF THE Go0sEBERRY.
Famous English Desserts Made froxe,
the Fruit and How to
Make Them.

The gooseberry is valuable and de-
licious fruit which is not generally ap-
preciated in this country because it
does not grow to the perfection which
it attains in Great Britain and in
Europe. In England the gooseberry
while still green is used, but the fruit
is supposed to be in perfection before
it ripens. The reason for this is that
the unripe fruit has an agreeab BILE acid
ity while 1t becomes insipid when ripe.
Most of the famous English desserts,
sauces and preserves call for the green
gooseberry, just before it ripens, says
the New York Tribune.
One of the most famous of English
desserts is a batter pudding filed with
green gooseberries. Crate a slice of
stale bread, add ten tablespooonfuls
of flour and pass through sieve with
teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix
the yolks of four eggs with a pint of
milk and add to the dry ingredients,
beating it to a smooth batter. Then
stir in the whites of four eggs and
finally quart of green gooseberries
properly prepared, with blossom end
and the tail removed. Pour the pud-
ding into a buttered mould or into a
bag buttered and dredged with flour.
Put the mould or bag into pot two
thirds full of boiling water and let it
boil for two hours. Serve the pudding
with hard English sauce of butter
and sugar.
Green gooseberries make an excel
lent pie, and when stewed and strained
and sweetened, an excellent sauce for
meats.
The use of green fruits in cookery
was an old English custom, but the
gooseberry and the currant are the
only fruits now employed in a green
condition, though green apple pie is
still eaten in some parts of the coun-
try, and was greatly esteemed in the
early days of England. Warden pie
was also highly appreciated, though
the warden was only hard green pear
which schoolboy of the most de-
PRAYED appetite would scorn to-day.
There are few dishes which require
ripe gooseberries, and these must never
be COMPOUNDED with those which re-
quire the acid berry.
To make a "gooseberry fool" "head'
and "tail'' quart of ripe gooseberries
and stew them with a little water until
they are tender. Mash them through
a, colander to strain out the skins,
sweeten with little sugar and add
the beaten yolSs of three eggs. Cook
the preparation about as long as you
would soft custard, stirring it con-
stantly. Put in the dish in which it
is to be served and cover with a mer-
ingue made with the whites, of the
three eggs beaten with three table
spoonfuls of sugar. Be sure to cover
the gooseberry fool'' entirely with the
meringue and set the dish in the oven
on thick block Of wood or brick,
so that only the meringue will cook.
When the meringue has cooked
through and become slightly Drowned
remove from the oven. Serve when
ice cold. The English serve goose
berry fool'' in small glass Or porce-
lain custard cups. The meringue may
be baked in a glass dish if it is properly
isolated from the heat of the oven.
The meringue for the 'gooseberry
fool" is baked in the same way in
which meringue may be baked
around ice cream, without melting it
in the least,

THE CUTTING OF CORN.
Method Here Described Appears to
Save Lots of Labor and Prevent
Useless Waste,

We cut our corn with a horse and
think it is easier and faster than by
hand. Our method is this: Take the
boat that you pick up potatoes with;
if you have not got one make one at
once. It should be about feet wide;
the runners can be made of 2x4 inch
stuff, with the front ends hewed off so
as to run over obstacles. A 2-inch
plank should be bolted on the front end
with notch cut in to hitch to, the rest
of the top may be made of,inch boards
nailed across the boat. To cut corn
wing should be hinged on each side
slanting out and backward. We use an
old saw for these wings or knives, cut
ting it in the middle and filing the back
to an edge and boiling to the wings,
and using a small box for a seat, It
takes two persons, one for each row,
cutting two rows at once. We start
the shock by hand, cutting two rows
hat the shocks are on, leaving four
,ills for each shock, and allow ten
ills wide by five long. We tie,with a.
rope with ring fastened to one end
If the rope; one draws the topof the
shock up while the other ties with
stalks, putting two bands around
each shock: In heavy corn five hills
makes an armful which makes two
armfuls for each side of shock, If the
corn is light one should carry ten hills
which makes one armful for each side.
Not one of our shocks blew over that
we put up this way last year. The
fodder keeps better in large shocks
than In small ones. We pull the shock
over and husk in &crates.-B. Single:
