MATTKRS OP INTEREST TO PAR
MER AND HOUSEWIFE.
Feed Judiciously.
If there is a time for economy in forage
and grain for stock, it is when the barns
are full. So many fanners think they
have plenty on hand there is no necessity
for saving, and therefore they feed it
with lavish waste. The northern far
mers coming here arc frequently heard to
say they could keep their stock on our
waste. The charge is justified by obser
vation and experience. The best way to
avoid that charge is for the farmer to at
tend to his stock at feeding time, and
see that they have no more given to them
than they can readily eat up clean. Go
into the stalls of the average farmer, and
it will be seen that hay is littered knee
deep on the floor, trod on, and defiled
so stock will not touch it. If only
enough was given, and the manger is
properly guarded by straps across to pre
vent pulling out, this would not happen.
Again, it is a common sight to see bits of
ears of corn, partially eaten and slobbered
over, so it is unfit for eating. —Nashville

Management of Heavy Sod band.
The popular idea about an old sod is
that it is necessarily rich. If the old sod
is subject to overflow, or has not been so
heavily pastured as to prevent it from
thickening up, this estimate of fertility
may prove correct. But any one who
expects immediate results from it will
very probably be disappointed. It is
only the most enduring grasses that sur
vive in an old pasture, and when the field
is plowed there ensues a struggle for life
that baffles the best efforts of the farmer
to repress. The common blue grass is
first cousin to quack, and though it be
turned to the bottom of the furrow, its
thread-like roots will send up shoots to
the surface, and unless vigorously culti
vated the field will soon be as green as
before plowing.
Wherever possible, an old sod should
be plowed in the fall, so that part of the
decomposition of its roots may occur in
winter while they arc dormant. The
heavy soil turned up will be worked by
frost into fine tilth by springtime.
And if it has been done in the
fall there is a further advantage
in top-dressing with manure, which will
thus fertilize the seed bed instead of
being buried at the bottom of the fur
row. There is no danger that this extra
surface fertility will make grass roots
more vigorously. The surface sown weeds
will indeed be stronger for it, but they
are easily kept down. The decomposing
manure w ill furnish heat and help to rot
the sod more quickly than it otherwise
would.
Two years of thorough cultivation will
lie needed to subdue a tough sod so as to
tit it for seeding with clover. And under
most circumstances such land should not
be kept under cultivation more than two
years without seeding. Tn killing out old
grass mots in a heavy sod a great amount
of plant food is made available, and this
will be wasted by washing of rains and
snows if clover is not sown to retain it.
Neai cities land may be too valuable to
seed to clover every two or three years,
but this is not the location where old sod
land i ; generally found. No matter how
high the price of land, an occasional re
seeding with clover and grass will restore
fertility as nothing else will. —Dostou

Successful Sheep Husbandry.
The knowledge necessary for success
ful beep husbandry is of a twofold clnir
acter The successful manager of a flock
of sheep must know what to do, and
when and how to do it. As the success
ful pilot must have knowledge not alone
of the deep and smooth waters of the
route his vessel is to traverse, but as well
must know the location of the hidden
rocks and shoals to be avoided, so must
t lie shepherd know the course in his busi
ness that is free from obstructions, and
which will, under ordinary conditions, in
sure successful results.
First of all, have your mind thoroughly
made up as to what particular phase of
industry you propose to confine your
efforts. In reaching this conclusion, one
w ill need to take into account the amount
of capital invested, the kind and number
of sheep be. w ill begin with, and the lim
its to which capital and surroundings cir
cumscribe him. If the owner of land,
one can “take chances’ frem which
the mere leaseholder is barred. A large
proportion of the failures among men
making sheep husbandry their leading
business, have resulted from indebtedness
incurred for sheep and lands, with the
expectation that profits would soon wipe
out both principal and interest. At any
time than when a “boom” is on, more
money will be made front a small, well
selcrted flock that lias been paid for, than
from a larger one from which the first
returns belong to the creditor.
When you buy a sheep for breeding
purposes be sure that it is better than the
best in your own flock in blood and
physical development; and when you
nave bought it, see that it is eared for
like any valuable piece of property. Good
live stock, like good clothes, cannot, be
exposed to all kinds of hardship with
out showing the effects of such harsh
treatment.
Take off the wool as soon as the
weather seems settled and warm enough
to admit of it with safety to the sheep,
and put the fleeces in such order that the
buyer w ill readily give you the top price
for wools of similar grade.
Breed so as to have every lamb an im
provement upon the average standard of
the flock, and sell as soon as they can be
made ready all that come below such
standard. When the time comes for
selling animals of any age do the select
ing yourself—always keeping the best.
They are worth more to you than any one
else, so long as you are not overstocked.
Do not be tempted into keeping more
aheep than you have first-class arrange
ments for keeping —food and other neces
sary accomodations.
Do not keep different breeds of sheep
together. The conditions best suited to
some are not the best for others,and when
mixed the result will be that all will
come short of their highest possible re
sults.
Do not abandon sheep husbandry be
cause prices are temporarily unsatisfac
tory, or be in a huiry to expand your
business when a “boom” sets in. Wool
and mutton, like everything else, will
vary in price, and the changes in price
will come faster than any man ran change
his business without sacrifice. —Ohio

Recipes.
Eoo Rolls.—Two cups of sweet milk,
two eggs, one-fourth tcaspoonful of suit,
three and one-half cups sifted flour,
one teaspoonful baking powder. Make
in batter and bake in gem pans.
Jumbles.—Very nice. two cups
sugar, two-thirds cup butter, two-thirds
cup milk, two-thirds teaspoon soda, two
eggs, nutmeg. Stir together the flour
butter and sugar; dissolve soda and put
in the milk, then add the beaten eggs.
Dumplings.—Scrape two ouncesoffine
beef suet very thin, mix it with four
ounces of flour, a pinch of salt, and
water to make a stiff paste. Flour
your hands, and roll the paste into balls
about the size of a florin; have ready a
stewpan half filled with boiling water
slightly salted; drop in the dumplings
and then let boil fast for twenty minutes.
Take them up with a fish-slice, and put
them on the dish with the carrots. If
preferred, these dumplings may be made
of drippings of butter in the proportion
of two ounces of the fat to five ounces of
flour. A small pinch of sage and pep
per can, if liked, be used as flavor
ing for the dumplings.
Chicken Pie.—Cut up two small
chickens and put them in a saucepan with
one-quarter of a pound of salt pork cut
in thin slices, adding salt and pepper.
Cover with water and simmer until done;
then set aside until cold. Make a paste
of one quart of flour, with which is
mixed two teaspoonsfuls of baking pow
der, two large tablespoonsful of clarified
beef drippings or butter, half a teaspoon
ful of salt and half a teacupful of granu
lated sugar. Mix together and moisten
with sweet milk until a soft dough is
formed. Roll out half the dough and
line a well-buttered tin pan with it.
Fill with the chicken and broth, adding
a tablespoonful of butter. Set an inverted
cup in the centre, roll out the other half
of the paste and cover over the pie with
it. Make a large incision in the middle
of the paste and press the sides of the
upper and lower crust well together. If
all the broth be not used at first, add
through the opening during the baking.
The pie should be baked in a moderate
oven.
“Constitutional Cowards.”
Speaking with Colonel Greene, says a
writer in the Philadelphia News, about
the irresistible impulse among soldiers to
lie down when shells whizzed danger
ously near, he replied, “Yes; that im
pulse is uncontrollable, and I recall just
now a laughable occurrence at Fred
ericksburg in Virginia. You remember
the enemy had a number of siege guns
there, and every now and then they
would throw a tremendous shell across
the Rappahannock and send consterna
tion and panic through our camps. At
first these shells created great confusion
and dismay but the boys soon became
used to them, and unless one came very
near little attention was paid to the can
nonading.
“I was standing one day, however, in
the midst of our camp, where perhaps a
hundred soldiers were to be seen, when
suddenly one of these great shells was
heard coming through the air, and as it
whirled with a terrible crash directly over
our heads every one of those hundred
forms crouched down behind the shelter
tents in little blue heaps, myself includ
ed, and when they recovered themselves
and raised up once more the blood had
fled from every face and they were
blanched to an ashy whiteness. As soon
as they saw the danger was passed the
blood came mantling back to their
checks and the blush of their shame and
their fears vanished with a loud laugh as
an old sergeant of the regiment, whose
face had been of the whitest, realizing
how ridiculous it was to hide behind a
shelter tent to find safety from a shell that
would have knocked a horse down,
shouted so that every man could hear
him, ‘lsay, boys, when the Johnnies
fling another of them grave diggers over
this way ’spose we get a sheet of note
paper and hide behind that.’ And yet,”
added the colonel, “within a week these
same men were part of a line which
marched up to Mary’s Heights over a
field that was literally plowed with shot
and shell until they were so close to the
siege gun that threw the grave diggers
that you could have tossed a copper into
their trenches where the iron monster
laid.”
The other incident mentioned by Colo
nel Greene was more touching: “We
had,” he said, “incur command a man
who could not go into a fight. lie was a
good fellow, and everybody liked him,
and he was really more pitied than con
demned for his cowardly infirmity. Find
ing that he was of no service in the com
pany, and fearing that bis example might
be demoralizing, lie was detailed as a
teamster, and he served with the wagon
trains throughout the whole war and was
never in a fight. After hostilities had
ceased and there wa9 not an armed vol
unteer in the field, this man, who was
still on detached service in the field, was
one day engaged in removing a lot of
muskets from a wagon preparatory to
their being sent North. A comrade who
was assisting him cautioned him to be
careful as some of the guns might be
loaded. He replied that there was no
danger, as they were old and rusty, and
had long been out of use, but scarcely
had the words escaped his lips when one
of the guns was discharged and he was
instantly killed.”
Proofs anil Prints.
There arc various kinds of proofs and
prints of engravings and etchings, rules
for distinguishing which one aught to
know:
“Remark proofs” (“remark,” from
French remarque) are the first impres
sions from the plate, and are the most
costly. Fifty copies are usually made.
They are printed with the utmost rare;
every copy is closely examined, and if a
flaw is discovered even in a single line,
it is destroyed. The “remark proof” al
ways has an emblem, chosen according
to the artist’s fancy, engraved upon the
margin of the plate.
After the remark proofs are made, the
remark is nibbed off the plate, and the
“artist’s proofs” are taken. These usual
ly humber two hundred. Like the re
mark proofs, they are executed with the
most painstaking care; hut they, of
course, lack the value of the mark which
stamps the first impressions of an en
graving as cherished rarities. "The “ar
tist’s proof” is marked at the bottom with
the name of the painter and the engraver,
or etcher.
The “proofs before letters” are printed
immediately after the artist’s proofs.
They usually consist of 100 copies. They
are never signed by artist or engraver, but
have their names engraved on the right
and left-hand corners of the plate re
spectively in small letters. They also
have the publisher’s mark and address
on the bottom.
“India prints” are the most desirable
after the artist’s proofs and proofs be
fore letters. They have the title en
graved upon them, as well as the artist’s
and engraver's names and the publisher’s
marks. The edition is not limited in
number. Their superiority to ordinary
prints is due to the better quality of the
impression produced by the India paper,
while they lack the choiceness and conse
quent rarity of the preceding grades.
“Plain prints” are impressions on
linen paper. They have all the marks
and letters of India prints.and are printed
with equal care. The paper, however,
renders them of less value than the India
impressions, because the quality of the
latter paper enhances the beauty while it
increases the cost of the proof.

And with pleasare
Take her measure
By the way she keeps her brooms;

“Dont’s" for Wive*.
Don’t mend his hosiery with coarse
cotton having knots in it larger than a
pea.
Don’t trade off all his old clothes for
a pair of china dogs, and then tell him
about it.
Don’t have more than a dozen of places
for the button-hook.
Don’t communicate unpleasant news or
ask a favor before eating. The heart is
not easily touched when the stomach is
empty.
Don’t gather up all his receipts and
notes that he has put carefully away on
the sitting-room table—and tuck them in
the fire the moment his back is turned.
Don't leave hair in the comb, or your
neck curls where they will stick to the
hair brush. Don’t put a long hair on
the soap or in his tooth-brush purposely.
Don’t put pins in your curl papers or
let your crimping pins dangle on your
forehead. They are abominations, and
feminine implements of warfare that men
despise.
Don’t waste your breath in' useless vi
tuperation against his favorite chum.
Cultivate the chum—ostensibly—when
your husband is not around, and matters
will assume a different aspect.
Don’t monopolize every hook in the
closet. Graciously tender him one nail
for his very own—and then, in mercy,
hang your “Mother Hubbard,” your pal
crine, your shopping bag and your bon
net in some other place.
Don’t be unreasonably vexed if he is
not ready for church as soon as you are.
If be doesn’t start to get ready till the bell
begins to ring you mustn’t expect the
same results as with yourself, who had
the whole morning before you.
Don’t ask him where be has been the
moment he enters the house, or where he
is going if he starts out for a walk. It
nettles him, and men hate to have such
pointed questions sprung upon them.
Beside that, we live under a free flag.
Don’t impose upon your husband just
because he is good enough to assist you a
little in your housework. Don’t leave
the stove-handle in the red-hot stove,and
don’t ask him to empty the ash hod.
Draw a line on the ash liod and don’t
run a free horse to death.
Don't ask him to walk the Soar with
the baby half the night. A man who
tramps industriously, around a billiard
table three nights in the week, or buys
an admission ticket to the opera, can t be
expected to be on duty at home the other
three nights. Have mercy on him, and
give the man a chance to recuperate.
Don't disturb your husband while he
is reading his paper by asking foolish
questions. He may he only reading the
latest, scandal, hut he is just as much in
terested as though it was foreign news or
market reports. Be patient, and when
he comes across anything he thinks you
can comprehend perhaps he may read it
to you.
Don't be incxplicitin giving directions.
When you ask him to go upstairs for
your portemonnaie, tell him it is either
on the table, or in the further corner of
the left-hand side of the upper bureau
drawer, or in the pocket of your brown
dress in the closet, He will have no
trouble in finding it—if you ear tell him
just where it is, especially the pocket.—

Fashion Notes.
Delicately shaded brocaded sateens
have printed floral designs.
Brocade button boots correspond to
the dress with which they are worn.
Short dresses for young persons are
draped from the waist in diagonal folds.
Bonnet ornaments are seen in curious
shapes, horses and seals being the latest
fancy.
The red, gilt and copper galloons are
very effective on black or brown plush
skirts.
Velvet draperies are used on lace
drosses. The bodice should be of velvet,
trimmed with lace.
Wool costumes have panels, bodice and
sleeve trimming of coupe plush, in grace
ful arabesque designs.
The foundation of many of the bon
nets is of faille embroidered in gold and
in various beads and colors.
Crinkled zephyr doth is shown in
every variety of dark anil light colors,
with stripes for the skirts, while the
bodice and drapery are plaid, corre
sponding to the skirt in color.
[lark blue sateens have a border imi
tating Torchon laee, a tiny figure of which
is strewn over the material. Others have
a broad border of wiieat ears, miniature,
ears forming the design upon the fabric.
Young girls were never so much con
sidered as at the present season in all
sorts of garments and styles of goods for,
dress wear, and some of the goods dis
tinctively juvenile are exquisite in style.
Some of the new sateens have stripes of
blue, mauve or pink alternating with
white, with rosebuds strewn over them.
These will be used for skirts, the over
dress being of plain sateen corresponding
to the colored stripe.
The designs of a worn out brocade may
be cut out and sewn on another material,
finishing the edges with fine gold or silk
cord, and thus making a, most effective,
tahlier, panel, quiiles and plastron for a
low or open corsage.
Very plain jerseys, well fitted and
without trimming, are so neat looking,
and are such an excellent substitute for
half-worn dress waists, that they remain
in favor, while those more showily
trimmed are much less used than for
merly.
Some pretty spotted muslins are made
as full skirts, with silk bodices pointed
bark and front, half high and draped
with a full kerchief tucked into the
bodice; from the waist there are ten long
strips of ribbon or velvet, arranged in
twos and twos as to form a point near the
hem beneath a rosette.
A Hopeless Case.
Mother—“l think, Clara, that young
Mr. Sampson is fond of you.”
Clara (hopefully)—“Why, mamma?"
Mother—“ Because he was such a long
time buttoning your glove last night.”
C lara (hopelessly)—“Ah, yes, mamma;
but they are six-button gloves, you know,
and when he had buttoned the fifth one
he asked me if that wouldn’t be enough.”

THE HOME DOCTOR.
How to Get Strong.
One of the secrets of muscular recuper
ation is in stopping when fatigue begins
from exercise. He or she who is not the
fresher in body and mind for the exercise
taken, has had an overdose of what in
proper measure would have proved a
benefit. The gain in strength is showD
and*felt in the increasing ability to do
more and more without exhaustion. The
measure of success is not in the greatness
of the feat accomplished, but in the ease
with which the exercise is indulged in,
and in the absence of exhaustion after it.
There are occasions frequent enough in
which people in the struggle of life arei
forced beyond their powers of endur
ance, and there is no need to carry into
the pursuit of recreation the fatigue
which exacting work imposes. For be
ginners this is important; after a time
one can take more exercise and feel no
fatigue.
Cold Feet In Bed.
This is a very common complaint, and
one that causes a great deal of sleepless
ness. First, on retiring at night, and
again early in the morning, we are
awakened by cold feet, and cannot get
them warm except by drawing them
up almost to the chin. This oc
curs not only in the young but in
the middle-aged and the old. For this
there are two remedies, the hot bottle
and lamb’s wool socks, either or both of
which may bo used. When we consider
that during the day, while we are active,
we wear stockings and shoes, does it not
seem strange that at night, when the
temperature of the air is lower, and when
we are inactive, that our feet should
have less covering than during the day?
The reasonable plan is to have a special
pair of socks for night use, put them on
when going to bed, and change them
when we get up. The result will be
better and more serene sleep; conse
quently we shall be more able to undergo
our daily exertions. I say at once to all
who suffer from cold feet, get a pair oi
warm socks for night wear. A good
walk for half an hour before retiring
warms the feet and sends a nice glow ail
through the body, and disposes to sleep.
It must not be supposed that these rem
edies make one less able to stand cold;
they are simply to retain the heat of the
body and allow of comfort, and if fol
lowed much benefit will be derived.—
T. R. Allinson, M.-D.
Children's Teeth.
Children’s teeth are often neglected by
parents, who give the young mouths little
attention until decay and the child’s com
plaint of toothache warn them of their
duty. Even if they know there is decay
going on they dismiss the subject with
the thought that they are only the first.
[ or temporary teeth, which will soon be
replaced by the permanent ones. This is
a great mistake, as the regularity of the
second set depends largely upon the
healthy condition of the first, which
should be retained in their places until
the second set is ready to appear, when
they will generally drop out or become
loosened, and are easily removed. Much
i mischief is done by premature decay and
the extraction of the temporary teeth.
Many think that they should he removed
i to make room for the permanent teeth—
a dangerous mistake, which should be
avoided if after trouble would be pre
vented.
One of the most beautiful provisions of
nature in the human economy is that for
the removal of the first teeth by absorp
! tion of their roots to make room for the
second to advance. Sometimes this ab
sorption does not go on fast enough, and
I the second tooth is observed to be com
j ing through before the first is loosened.
| In such a case the dentist should be con
i suited, who, if he has made a proper
study of this frequent condition of things,
will very readily correct it.— Dr. Gilbert.
Criminals and Tlieir Homes.
“Every once in a while people read in
the papers how some men who has just
done a job has skipped, leaving no trace
behind him,” said a Central Office detec
tive to alh rald reporter yesterday. “The
first thing they do is to blame the detec
tive. Then, a year or two perhaps after
ward,'they hear that the man has been
caught. Then they praise the detectives
for skill and perseverance as much as they
blamed them before. They were wrong
to blame the detectives in the first place,
and I’m not sure that they were right in
praising them so highly afterward. In
ordinary circumstances any criminal is
sure to be caught.
“You say there are many crimes never
unraveled. That’s so. But in most of
them the police get to know who did the
job as well as the}’ know who stole Broad
way, .but they can’t get the evidence,
and so they lie low and wait. In a few
exceptional cases it’s best not to punish
anybody.
“If a man runs away the police can
pinch him nine times out of ten just by
watching his home. Shakespeare never
said a truer thing than when he said,
‘There’s no place like home.’ It was
Shakespeare, wasn't —it? Well, every
man, no matter how bad he is, has a
home of some kind that he is going to
visit, although he knows that the visit
may land him in State prison for twenty
years, and as soon as he thinks the coast
is clear he’s going to that home. All the
police have to do is to find out that home,
watch it and nab their man when he
shows up.
“There’s that man who shot the negro
janitor. He got west and was doing
well and nobody knew where he was.
But he bad to come back to New York
to see iiis friends. There’s Jimmy Riley.
He broke seven of the, strongest jails in
the country—Sing Sing was the last of
them. What did he do when he got out
of Sing Sing? He went straight to Tenth
avenue, where everybody knew him.
Now lie's back to Sing Sing. Talk to
Captain Washburn about Hell’s Kitchen
and other places at the foot of West,
Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets in his
precinct. He'll tell you that whenever
he wants one of the crooks who hang out
there he has only to go there to get nim.
They never try to hide in any other part
of the city. 110 you remember that burg
lar who killed a policeman way back in
the sixties, when he was caught breaking
into an arms store in Broadway? Well,
he thought it safe to come back to New
York after nearly twenty years, and the
first thing he knew he was on trial for
his life. He would have come back
sooner, too, if he hadn’t been prevented
by being locked up in different prisons
out West. —New York Herald.
Tea and Coffee Drinkers.
I see it stated that while Englishmen
drink five times as much tea as coffee, !
Americans drink eight times as much
coffee as tea. This in a great measure is
due to the coffee that is sold in the Uni- j
ted States being less unadulterated than !
ours. To a certain extent it may also be
accounted for by the fact that Ameri- j
cans are richer than we are, for there are
a good many more cups in a shilling’s
worth of tea than in a shilling’s worth
of oefiee. —London Truth. *
Self-Defence.
It was a case of breach of promise.
The defendant was allowed to say a word
in his own behalf. “Yes,” he said, “I
kissed her almost continually every even

Lawyer—“Then you confess it?”
Defendant—“ Yes, I do confess it, but
I had to do it.”
“You had to do it! What do you
mean?”
“That was the only way I could keep
her from singing.”
The jury gave a verdict for the de
fendant without leaving their seats.

Relieved at Last!
"We know a gentleman In this county who, six
months ago, was almost a hopeless cripple from an
attack of rheumatism. He could scarcely hobble
across the room, used crutches, and said him
self that he had little If any hope of ever recovering.
We saw him in our town last week, walking about
as llvelv as any other man, and lu the finest health
and spirits. Upon our inquiry as to what had worked
such a wonderful change In his condition he replied
that S. S. s. had cured him. After using a dozen and
a half bottles, he has been transformed from a nils
erablc cripple to a happy, healthy man. He is none
other than Mr. E. B. Lambert.”— Sylvania Telephone
