GOOD FOR THE FEET.

If there is anything that spoils ones
winter season it is the unwelcome pres
ence Of cllilblains. Here is a remedy for
these destroyers of our comfort: First
make n wash by dissolving alum in
warm water. then apply it with warm
cloth night and morning. The relief is
almost instantaneous. Do not use very
much alum in making the wash and
don't soak the feet in alum water
Alum is useful in so many ways that
you should always have box of it on
your toilet table.
Girls often suffer from excessive per-
spiration of the feet. \ very good cure
for this annoying complaint is a lotion
made by infusions of sage or rosemary.
After applying the liquid and allowing
the feet 10 dry they should be powdered
with starch. II is advisable to change
the stockings as often as possible. A
good method of treating your feet when
they are very tired is to battle them in
salt water. The care of the feet is
most important factor in retaining
your health. and it is a thing which
girls are apt TO neglect. Many colds
are taken through the ankles: therefore
keep them warm and well protected.

Blends. on the other hand, are far
more adaptable. They are naturally
more gentle and therefore less averse
TO adopting other peoples views and
opinions They learn easily and are
more obedient to authority. a brunette
may or may not learn easily, but one
thing is sure-once an IDEA has entered
her head she hangs on to it with a per
sistency which is sometimes awkward.
This quality she carries even into her
love affairs.
Study your history and you viii see
that the blond women, as a rule, were
pleasure loving and luxurious; that
they held court with their throngs Of
admirers dangling at their heels; that
they smiled sweetly on some and sent
others of whom they tired TO death.
But you viii scarcely find one blond
woman in all the pages who suffered

cessity of keeping up ones appearance
If you are stupid or poor or unlucky
don't let people know it. If you have
good clothes, for mercy'S sake wear
them and don't let them hang in the
closet until they are out of style. Don't
wear one suit all the time because it
is comfortable. Live in as good house
as you can afford, even if you have to

keep a smiling countenance no matter

CORN FOR sILAGE.

In Bulletin No. 80, of the New
Hampshire Agricultural College Ex-
pertinent Station, the results of sew

and included the differences between
varieties, effect on crop of different

curing in the silo.
The greatest weight of green fodder
was obtained when the plant was cut
while in full bloom, i. e., tassels aud
silk formed, but more nutrients were
obtained when the corn had fully
formed ears at the roasting stage.
This was because the plant at the
earlier stage contained more water
and the practical effect of harvesting
at these two stages was that it would
take sixteen tons of corn fodder in
bloom to equal twelve tons when the
ears had filed. This is a point on
which the experiments of different
stations in different sections of the
country with different varieties uni
formly agree.
\ variety of corn which reaches this
stage of maturity is therefore better
for the silo. than variety which has
to be cut before the ears are much
developed.

THUMBS IN LITTLE PIGS.

The cause of pigs tails getting sore
aud falling off is from foul nesting
and sleeping quarters. The remedy ::
Clean out all bedding within three
days after sows farrow, and clean at
least once a week, or .oftener, there
after. If the tail is not too far gone
when treated, you can save it by
greasing thoroughly with lard and a
little earbolic acid. If nests are kept
clean, you will never have sore tails.
The thumps in little pigs are caused
by their getting too fat and not tax
ing exercise enough. Remedy: Take
a buggy whip and drive the pigs out
into the sunshine and see that they
get out of the nest and exercise every
day. Feed the SOW less milk produc-
ing food till the pigs get older. If
the pigs are not too bad off, you can
save them by putting them into box
or barrel and letting them worry
some of the fat off of them for an
hour or two at a time. Be sure they
have a clean bed and plenty of exer.
else and you will not be troubled
with sore tails or thumps. Thumps
in larger pigs is sometimes caused
from an affection of the lungs, but
never in a pig three weeks old. Ear
ly pigs are more apt to be affected by
sore tails and thumps than later ones,
as in cold weather they stay closer to

its weight in gold, and so valuable was
it deemed that In the reign of Tiberius
a law was passed forbidding it TO all
save noble ladies and prohibiting men
from wearing it on the ground of its
effeminacy. So unusual was 1t even
200 years later for a man to wear silk
that every historian of the time of

emperor had a silk gown. For ages 1t
continued at an abnormally high price.
