wet, when standing In stable. Keep the

1t is very easy to cut the skin and lay the

with a good brush, well applied.

How Cider Is Clarified.

The use of gelatine for clarifying cider
is practised to some extent, as is also the
use of blood, lime, plaster Of paris, alum
and the whites Of eggs. II gelatine is
used, 1t should be in the form of isinglass
which should be dissolved In water or
weak boiled vinegar, and added to the
cider. The alcohol or tannic acid in the
cider will coagulate some Of the gelatine
and In falling it will bring down with It
the impurities In the form Of a sediment
II cider has but small amount OF spirit
or astringent in 1t, 1t may not coagulate
the gelatine sufficiently, but good or
dinary cider would probably do so. Two
or three ounces of gelatine would be
enough for barrel.--Farm and Fireside.

Odds and Ends of Time,

How few of us realize the importance
of making use Of our odds and ends Of
time-the ten minutes, or half hours
that SO many of us sweep out into the
waste of existence. Too many Of us think
that when our days work is done, we are
entitled to rest; and this Is in a measure
true. But by making use of the little
broken fragments of time, in different
way from the ordinary routine, we are
getting rest, as well as gaining knowl'
edge. These leavings Of days and rem.
nants of time can be put to good and sys.
tematic use, and he who does this judic!'
ously through life will have learned ant
accomplished more than many Of those
whose time is all their own.-Agricul'

HOW TO TEST YOUR SEEDS.
Several Practical Methods by Which
It Can Be Done at Little
or No Expense.

II is important to test the vitality OF
seeds that you are in doubt about, and
where the crop requires an even
stand and an exact amount is planted,
as for instance, corn. Here we plant
few grains In each hill, and IL the seed
should happen to be poor, the crop
would be greatly lessened. When one
knows about what per cent. of the seed
will grow, he can obtain larger re-
turn for the seed In some kinds Of
plants there is great variation In the
vitality of the seed, and this makes
testing very important. There are sew
eral practical methods by which the
testing can be done easily, and with
little or no expense. A very simple
method is to take an old box and fill
1t with moist earth Ga cigar box might
do). and set 1t in warm room near
the window. Then select certain
amount of seed, say 100, and plant
them In the soil, being careful to know
the exact number planted Keep the
soil damp and in warm place. AMI
within few days they will come up.

per cent. OF termination. Perhaps the
best and simplest plan is to take two
plates, and place in one of them O
folded cloth; wool or tlannel Is prefer
able since 1t retains moisture for q
long time. but any cloth will do. The
cloth should be free IRON dyes that
will come out when soaked in water,
as the chemicals might be injurious to
the seed. Wet the cloth and press out
the surplus water, leaving It very
damp, but not soaked. Place the seeds
between the folds of the cloth, put in
record marked with a pencil on a
piece OF paper, with the date and num-
ber Of seeds, and then place the Sec
ond plate inverted, for cover. Sc
lecting the sample to be tested Is OF
great importance. II must be fair
sample, including both good and bad
appearing seeds. II the quantity is
considerable small amounts should be
taken from different parts of the mass
These small samples, thoroughly
mixed. form the larger sample from
which the proper number of seeds is
to be counted. In counting out the
seeds, fair number of small and i'm.
mature ones should be selected, as wei
as the large and plump ones.-St. Loui:

HINTS FOR HORSEMEN.

Clean out the feet of the horses after
the days work is done.
Dry, dusty meal makes very un-
palatable meal for horses hard at work.
II Is easier to keep horse In good con-
dition than to strengthen him up after
he has lost his health.
Every time the horses are worried
their days of usefulness are shortened.
A horse that never gained his liberty
by breaking his halter will never become
a halter-puller.
Large nOstrils indicate good breathing
power, good lungs and good constitu-
tion.
Horses which are judiciously fed and
we'll groomed will stand double the
amount Of hard work that they would
uaJer careless feeding.
Road dust is valuable absorbent and
is good thing to keep around stables
In which the stalls are inclined to be-
come damp or wet.
When confined in stables, which at best
Is an unnatural condition for colts, they
should not be compelled to stand upon a
hard floor of any kind.

Advantages Of Pekin Ducks.

The Pekin duck Is entirely white
which gives the feathers greater value
1t is claimed that the feathers will pay
the cost OF killing and dressing for
market. The Pekin is breed that thrives
well where there are no ponds, and the
young ones grow rapidly. often reaching
half pound for each week until they
are ten weeks old. We have known
them to gain pound in week when
over eight weeks old, but 1t is considered
a good weight to have them weigh five
pounds when ten weeks old, and they
frequently attain it-Woman's Farm
