 Miss Harriet G. Bird, a New Eng land woman, has established a home and rest cure for horses on her farm near the little village of Stow, about 23 miles from Boston. The object of the farm is not only to provide a place where old and worn-out and dis abled horses may find a comfortable home, but to provide board, pastur- age and care, such as medical and surgical treatment for ailing horses owned by cabmen, expressmen, ped dlers, etc.
 A barnyard dressed down by soft coal cinders is recommended by Hoard's Dairyman. The ground was leveled and then covered with about ten inches of the material and rolled. The treading of the COWS made it still
 
 more solid, and all the repairs the yard needs each year is a wagon load of cinders or so to fill up the places washed out by the heavy rains. Worth trying. Certain it is that the muddy, dirty, disease breeding COW yard should be eliminated
 Here is a new method of breaking a COW from the habit of self-sucking practised by an Indiana farmer and declared effective He greased the teats and lower part of the udder with fresh lard and then sprinkled red pepper upon the lard from a pepper box. If, after a few days respite, after the first few applications the COW showed tendency to resume the sucking habit he repeated the dose and soon had her broken, he says.

RICH PALE VEAL GR IVY.
Recipe for ConsomT-e That Is Said to
 Be Delicious.

When the best joints of fowls or cartridges have been taken for fri casses or outlets the remainder may be stewed with a pound or two of veal cut, consomme which then takes the name chicken or of game gravy.
 For large dinner it is always well to have stock that can easily be con verted into white or other sauces. To make this arrange a slice or two of lean ham in stewpot with three pounds of the neck of veal Cor the thick part of a knuckle of veal will answer as welD, pour over three pints of strong veal broth, put in salt.
 After it has commenced to boil, skim carefully, add one small onion one soup bunch, a little celery, one carrot one blade of mace, and a half a tablespoonful of peppercorns, stew gently for four hours, then if the heart is in pieces strain of the gravy.
 Set away to become cold, after which remove the fat. A few mush- rooms buttons will greatly improve the flavor.

IN TIME OF SICKNESS.
Simple Remedies That Have Been
 Proved of Value.

To induce precipitation, wiring a blanket out in hot water, and wrap it round the patient. Then pack in three or four dry blankets and allow him to repose for 30 minutes. The coverings may then be taken off, and the surface of the body rubbed with warm towels.
 It is, as rule, best to apply com presses at night time. as it is difficult to keep them in position while moving about. After removing them in the morning, sponge the affec ed parts with cold water, so as to restore the tone of the skin.
 Take a jug of hot water containing the drug which has to be inhaled. Hold the face over the jug, and ar range a towel so that it covers the face below the eyes, and surrounds the top of the jug. The medicine is thus breathed through the mouth and nose

Weak Heart Action

There are certain nerves that control the action of the heart. When they become weak, the heart action is impaired. Short breath, pain around heart, choking sensation, palpi- tation, futtering, feeble or rapid pulse, and other distressing symptoms fol- low. Dr. Miles Heart Cure is a medicine especially adapted to the needs of these nerves and the mus cular structure of the heart itself. It is a strengthening tonic that brings speedy relief. Try it.
 ''For years I suffered with what thought was stomach trouble, when the doctors told me I had heart trouble. l had tried many remedies, when the Dr. Miles almanac came into my hands, and I concluded to try Dr. Miles Heart Cure. I have taken three bottles, and now I am not suffering at all. l am cured and this medicine did it. I write this in the hope that it will attract the at tention of others who suffer as I did.''

Walk through the orchard and eX- anime the fruit trees and see wheth- CT any damage is being done by mice or rabbits
 There should be an experimental plot on every farm where new varie- ties can be tested before going into them extensively.
 The individuality of each COW should be studied so as to meet her special needs in feed and care and get from her the maximum profit.
 It is the shiftless, procrastinating farmer who wishes for the morrow, for he is ashamed of what he didn't do to-day and promises himself that it will be done tomorrow.
 The winter season is the time to plan for the planting of vines and fruit trees this coming spring If you are going to order nursery stock, get your order in early.
 Barrels and boxes are poor storage places for the seed corn. They are apt to gather moisture, which is sure to lower the germinating power of the seed. Thorough ventilation is the es- sential thing in the storage of seed corn.
 The annual report of the secre- tary of agriculture makes good read ing for the farmer, and if you have not had the opportunity of perusing it, send for a copy to the depart ment at Washington. They are to be had free as long as the supply lasts
 Recent experiments to prove the temper of the stingless bee showed that the most severe treatment failed to arouse them. The hives were kicked, the bees were shaken about, and even scooped up by the handfuls, but not once did they offer to sting.
 During the cold weather kitchen refuse is apt to accumulate near the house. This should be looked after as, when thawing weather comes, it IS apt IO CduS6 IIOuDl6. b6JJoT get such refuse out to the compost heap, where it will be available for the garden.
 To excel as corn grower one must have an acquaintance with the nature of soils; with the bioolgy of plants; with the cultural methods and climat- ic conditions, with the laws of hered- ity and the marvellous potentialities wrapped up in a tiny seed
 The government crop report states that the exports of domestic cheese during the ten months ending Octo- Der, 1906. amounted to 20,226044 pounds, of which the United King dom took 17,312, ,OSS pounds, or about S6 per cent.
