Health and Beauty Hints.

Don't use the eyes when they are
tired or weak from illness.
A mustard plaster made with the
white Of an egg will not blister.
Don't bestow less care upon the teeth
than upon complexion and hair.
When walking don't throw the Shout
ders far back of the line Of the hips
nor hold the arms rigidly at the sides.
Don't become too stout. Although
pIumpness Of contour is by no means
unbecoming, corpulence is thing to
be avoided.
Bilious headache may often be re-
lieved by drinking two teaspoonfuls
Of finely powdered charcoal dissolved
in half a glass of water. A seidlitz
powder should be taken one hour
later.
Don't think that because you are 4C
and fair you also should be fat, and
that nature has laid down a law that
women shall accumulate layers with
years, like a magnolia or any Other

Easy DehOrning.

Dehorning calves is described as
such a simple operation by the agrl-
cultural department bulletin on this
subject that it is difficult to explain
why it is ever postponed until the
horns are fully grown and the neces-
sity arises, If hornless cattle are want
ed, for saving them off. To dehorn
secure a pencil Of caustic potash at a
drug store. When the calf Is three to
four days old, throw it to the ground,
locate the little knot which indicates
the young horn. wet it well, and rub
it with the pencil, held in q gloved
hand. This is all there is to the opera
ton. 1t constitutes but a few min
utes' work and causes no pain to the
animal. If after a couple of weeks
any signs of growth appear, a second
application will complete the job.

Patching stock for Market.

The main object Of the farmer Is
fattening stock for market, and this
weight Is easiest obtained by feeding
corn in order to produce fat. Farmers
have long been taught by experience
that fat is a desirable quality and that
it adds to the attractiveness of a car
cags on the stall. 1t has been demon
strated at the experiment stations,
however, that the weight proportion of
lean tnterspersed with the fat, by feed
ing a heterogeneous ration, which means
that, In addition to liberal supply of
corn, an animal should receive va.
riety of food that is not so rich in oil
starch and sugar as corn. This fact is
worthy of consideration.
