TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE
.TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Selecting Seed Corn.
The losses that occur every year from
the employment of defective or. inferior,
•ced corn ought to impreis every fanner
with the necessity of a careful selection
of seed at time of harvesting the crop.
While the corn is yet standing in the
fields this selection can be readily and
judiciously made, but the corn once in
the bios the farmer labors under serious
disadvantages. In selecting se?d foar
point* should bo taken into considera
tion—first, earl neat of maturity; second,
mimbcr'of tars upon a stalk; third, s'zc
- of the stalks, and fourth, perfection of
of tho-ear*. Like produces like with
aeedaa with animals. One cannot ex-

in a hill and but one has borne an ear.

Many farmers after having dried the!
seed corn store it in the lo?t» of their
smokehouse* in o; der that it may become
pcnncat.’d with t te creosote from the
first twenty-four

Remedy for Horae Distemper.
When an animal /romes down with tho
distemper it should be placed in a quiet,
comfortable enclosure, where there is an
abundance of pure nir and sunlight. The
windows of the stall should be covered
with a netting of some kind to keep out
the tile-*, which nre very annoying, even
to a healthy nnimnl. Feed upon cut
grass and bran mashes, with an occa
sional mess of apples or potatoes. Most
horse* will prefer the former. Sour
apples sometimes appear to have a better
effect than sweet fruit in cases of dis
temper. Medicines should be given with
caution. Quinim is one of the latest,
and probably the mo3t valuable of reme
dial for distemper. In a communication
to the Wintcrsct Madisonian, Mr. L.
Broodhcad, well known throughout the
country as the able superintendent and
agent of the wor d-renowed Woodburn
Farm, Lexington, Ky., where Maud S.
(2.On}) nnd a host of the brilliant lights
of the turf were bred, ra.ikes tho follow
ing suggestion* in treating distemper:
“Hive weanlings from fifteen to twenty
grains of quinino n day. Wo generally
give this quantity once a day, but when
first taken and the fever is high give
about fifteen grains twice a day, morn
ing and night. Ir the attack is mild,

growers whether the manure should

• afterward, but the prevailing ten
dency is toward plowing first, then to
draw aud .spread the manure
face and afterward work it into the soil
in subsequent cultivat on. The manure
is thus kept nearer the surface, where it
is believed to do the mo*t good.
Sweet apples aro generally considered
much more valuable for feeding than
sour, but there is less difference than
many suppose. If well ripened,
sour npples contain a good deal of sweet,
which is to the t iste overcome by a slight
disproportion of acid. Those who have
fed sour ripe apples find them nearly or
quite os nutritive as sweet ones. They
should not, however, bo given to hogs

tho animal's tongue aside without elc-
vating its head, insert tho spoon in its
mouth, turn it over and wipe on the
tongue, as it is withdrawn from the
mouth. It is easily administered in this
manner, nnd the animal gets it all. It
is perfectly safe, nnd there is little if any
danger in giving too much. I have used
qwifcmc four or five yc irs. and always
with^^H] results.” Quinino can bo ob
tained of any druggist, and in getting a
supply we would recommend having it
put up in powders of twenty grains each;
then if thirty grain do^cs are wanted for

vide one equally and add it to tho other
two, or if fifteen -grain doses aro wanted

powders of fifteen gra ns each. Be care

Do not let foul w-reds go to seed either
in fields or roadsides.
Don't allow the flies to torment your

Prune out all useless wood from young
trees, and bring their heads into proper

Some persons prize charcoal highly as
a preventive and cure of coetivencss iu

Keeping the pores of farm animals
open is as essential to their thrift as
bathing is to-qar health.
A week of exposure to the ~liot sun
will injure the horse rake, mower and

Held. This is a relic of the time when
they were wild and such precaution was
necessary that they might guard against
approaching danger from wild anima’s.
But the fact has its advantages. The
knolls that sheep select for their sleeping
places are generally originally poor, but
sheep will soon enrich them. The grass
also is sweeter than on low land and
sheep are le?s liable to disease.
A strong nest of bumblebees in the big
clover field is worth $20 to the owner,
for these insect* arc tho chief agent* in
fertili ing the blossoms, thereby insur
ing a heavy crop of seed. In Australia
there are no bumblebees of our kind,
and they could not raise clover seed there
until they imported some bumblebees.
In this connec tion Piofessor Shelton, of
Kansas, remarks that in Kansas bumble
bees are almost unknown, yet nowhere
are such crops of clover seed grown as in
Kansas.
Where the object of fall plowing is to
oxjiose the soil to thorough pulverization
by frost, getting it done early is noi im
portant. In. fact there is sometimes a
gain in leaving it until the surface is
slightly frozen. This turned to the bot
tom of the furrow hold; it up, and less
freezing is rojuired to pulverize the
whole mass. But if a heavy sod is to be
fall plowed, have the work done early
enough so that the sod may partly rut
this tall. If not, it will be a bad piece
to put hoed crops ioreext season.
The respective advantage*of thick and
thin seeding depend u .on circumstances,
some of which cannot be known at time
of seeding. So far as the weather is con
cerned sowing a crop will always be
something like tak’ng a ticket in a lot
tery. As a rule, the ric. er and better
fitted the giound, the les* feed will be
required of small grain. But with corn
the reverso is true. On very poor soil in
the South it is a common practice to make
hdls of corn three and a half and some
times four feet apart, and allow only two
stalks to the hit).
The ground meat that Is used by poul-
trymen and purchased «• a fine powder
is first pressed with powerful machinery
iu order to extract all the oil and then
ground. In order to derive all the oil
tho meat must be th roughly heated,
and stenm is used for that purpose, the
pressure being applied while the steam
is passing through the meat, which thor
oughly cook* it. The bones are allowed
to remain with the meat, as tho marrow
is also extracted, and rhit which the
poultry men procures is real y just what
he desires—the nitrogenous matter. The
meat is the refuse of note s, the off 1 of
slaughter houses, and even the pickings

Heat Holidays.
The so-calle t hit/ferien heat holidays),

' Ihe Use of Tapestry.'
One of the most exquisite examples
poerible or the entirely new idea (or
rather resurrected idea) of covering the
entirejrall* of rooms with silk and simi-
material has the four walls and ccil-
of the room in question' covered with
1 Louis Seize tapestry, very light and
delicate, almost salmon pink and fluted
end gathered so as to make friezes and
cornices of the same material. The doors
and windows are curtained with the
same material and the furniture is wp-
holstered with it. All the furniti
dainty and of white wood. Another
is similiarly done in pink and
amber brocaded satin. A young man
who has lately married, having obtained
a dispensation to keep up some of bis
bachelor tastes, has made a new and
original departure in domestic arrange
ments, by making the smoking-room the
most prominent and striking apartment
in his new house. The first room upon
entering is the dining hall, which has
curious Arabian hangings. Back of it
is the smoking-room, which is thorough
ly Oriental, withcuriously marked cur
tains from Afghanistan, with knotted
edges, a genuine Persian embroidered
divan, walls in guilt relief, &nd even a
meshreebeah or latice window, such as
they have in the harems. Back of the
smoking-room is the parlor, which has
three sets of rose velour curtains, all
alike, and a sort of gold and ivory trans
parent stuff draping the windows.
Great artistic taste must be exercised
in the arrangement of so much richly
colored stuff. The came rules governing
needle-work may obtain.
A general effect may be made by throw
ing down the silks upon the ground,
nvhen a trained eye will quickly discern
the proper tints and the proportionate
quatities to use. An absolute rule isthst
no harsh transactions must be made; but
if it be necessary to pass from one color
to another which conflicts when placed
side by side it can be done by some re
lating tint, as has keen described. In
needlework it is easy to do this because
of the enormous variety of shades in
silk8 and worsteds. The Japanese method
is laid down as a good one. They work
the silks in one color, or lay them
the surface, and then with related hues
work them up to a harmonious whole.
Another law is that when two portions
of the same or nearly related hu
placed at a distance from each other
with neutral tints between, both become
intensified and appear brighter than they
did before. Thus in working out a de
sign in harmony there must be no de
tached single bits of color. They must
be led up to by broken tints, or there
must lie other patches of the same color
near enough to be taken in by the eye nt
the same time. This will enrich both.
Graduated tones of the same color arc
always pleasing. This is properly called
the analogy of color. A good example
of this is given in the treatment of
orange-brown with broken tones of gold
or broken yellow, even up to butter
color. In Chinese embroideries we often

Art in tins Household.
The very latest of fashionable fancies
in furniture and decoration, says an
authority, is what is called the Colonial
craze. It necessarily embraces some of
the features of the Renaissance, but it
derives its suggestions primarily from the
domestic fashions of the George’s reigns.
It lacks the color and luxuriance and
elaboration of the French styles, discards
tho gorgeousness and freedom of the
Oriental, and gives special prominence
to the two ideas of lightness and grace.
In it the draperies are generally of lighter
texture; what little upholstery there is is
lighter in color, with a touch of pretti-
ncss and a Dolly Varden tendency, and
the chairs, tables and other articles of
funvturc arc lightly made, with lots of
spokes and open-work. White and gilt
ore greatly used, though mahogany and
chei ry and the darker woods are used in
preference to ash «nd the similar light
woods that have been so long in vogue.
It involves the use of most enpensive
materials in small quantities in upholster
ing, and reminds one of the Chicago lady
who, finding that her social rival .had
outdone her in a new dress of an expen-
pattern, invited the rival and all her
set to a reception where all the furniture
had been upholstered in exactly the same
material. It is a very queer and curious
thing that just as plush has gone out ^ of
fashion for upholstery, ladies arc going
to wear plush dresses, and that the ma
terials in most popular favor for coverinj
chairs and for portieres are the paintei
and brocaded silks and velours, which
were high style for evening dress a year
or two ago. This season, then, the
most fashionable women will wear what
they have been upholstering their chairs
with, and cover tlieir chairs with mater
ial similar to their old ball room dresses.
In all the furniture shops, especially
those patronized by the fashionable ele
ment, the chairs and the tables and near
ly everything else will be seen either
carefully copied or modified after the
Was; ingtonian era in this country—some
what straight-laced, but substantial, neat
and with a certain pr ttincss peculiarly
their own. What the French call cuy vre,
which is something between a rose and a
shrimp, is the popular tint in draperies.
It is warm, but light; “neat but not
gaudy.”
A Long Wait
“See here, Mr. Hotel-keeper, I lent
the waiter boy for my dinner an hour
ago, and he hasn’t brought it yet”
“Ilere, Jim! what does this delay
mean? Is this the boy who took your
order, sir!”
“Ye—es, I think so. He’s grown so
in the meantime, I hardly knew him.”
The Hands.
Ths care of the hands is an-all-impor
tant part of a lady’s toilet.' To keep the
skin smooth and white, the nails tinted
and filed, with the half-moou visible at
the base, requires constant attention.
A'nofcdActress, traveling on her beau
ty, has a professional manicure dress her
hands each evening. Society women
spend much time polishing their nails;
busy women can only follow slowly and
snatch a moment each day, to keep them
In presentable appearance and endeavor
to retain as long as possible the beauties
nature has given her. For a pioper care
of the hands a manicure set is absolutely
necessary, and can now lie easily ob
tained at reasonable cost.
A few hints for its use, our lady read
ers may appreciate. Soft, warm water is
the best to use for washing the hands; a
little borax dissolved in it whitens and
softens the skin. A most important
thing is to properly dry the hands after
ward; if this is not done it reddens and
chafes them. With the curved, pointed
ivory push back the skin fiom around
the nails, and file them until they do not
extend beyond the fleshy ends of the
fingers, giving each nail a rounded,
slightly pointed .edge. Then use the fine
powder and shammy polisher, rubbing
them to a satiny pink tint.
A woman’s finger nails are just
much pearls as her teeth, and should be
ns prized and carefully attended to; her
hind has a great stare in expressing her
thoughts aud feelings. Its use and qual
ities are an open index to her whole
character.
Pretty Girls.
It has been r.ther broadly suggested
that pretty girls cause most of the trou
ble in the world. Of course the greatest
of all evils on this mundane sphere is
money, but pretty girls stand- second
best.
It seems odd how much of these great
evils an ordinary man imagines he can
take care of. Like champagne, he will
never acknowledge he has too much for
his own good.
Young men iu society are warned by a
careful sister that such* and such pretty
girl is to be avoided, as likely to prove
dangerous to his peace of mind. Do
they ever heed? Never. That very
pretty girl’s favor they most assiduously
seek. Then when she breaks his suscep
tible heart, she is loudly denounced.
She alone is to blame. Of course she i

to blame for being charming.
It cannot be denied.that pretty girls
have been involved in nearly every trag
edy and scandal of history. That won
derful wooden-horse would never hav
been built, had not Helen of Troy been
beautiful. Juliet Capulet was wondrous
handsome or her neighbor’s boy, Romeo,
would not have climbed the garden wall.
Cleopatra must have been “perfectly
lovely,” for the photographs of her are
so, and most of them were taken when
she was not feeling well, having been bit
ten by that poisonous asp.
Homely women arc fortunately not
called upon to participate in these unfor
tunate affairs. It is peculiar, however,
that men prefer to fall in love, fight and
die for pretty girls, and it is just as
much a fact as it is peculiar that girls
prefer to be pretty and run the risk of
