Hons Katins E<rs:s. answer to a question, remarks the lir ie Farmer , we can simply reiterate t we have stated many times hereto- A hen that becomes addicted to grr e .rfr9 cannot easily be broken. If i,f notlcilled as soon as she is found i n , r ei rgs, she will soon teach others do = tbecame. The taste is acquired it- a [|y by tindin" broken eggs in the t or elsewhere. Then the fowl begins break the shells to get at the mqat. in-shelled eggs are easily broken. e remedy for thin-shelled eggs is to jp the fowls supplied with plenty of , e i n some form, cirounu ovster-sholls , excellent for this. Winter Dairying. The chief advantages of winter over miner dairying, says a writer in the m ,tr/ Gentleman, consist in having jtrreater part of the season’s make of Jiter to sell when the price is highest; having less trouble to make and inar it a good article in cool weather; in akin" the milking season considerably ngetC and the quantity for the season msiderably greater; and in being able raise better calves, because they will so much older and larger than spring Ives to eat giass in the summer, and dure the rigors of the ensuing winter, he disadvantage is in having to feed ore meal and bran to make good win r butter and to keep up a full flow of ilk till grass comes, when the meal can i taken away without the yield falling i though if it be continued the flow ill increase. Feeding liberally with sal and bran makes winter butter cost ole than grass butter, but the higher ices of the winter market more than v the additional expense for feed. The Question of Sheep Washing. English authorities are divided as to eadvantages of sheepjwashing. Most the wool received there from France, i Plata and South Australia comes un ished, and packed in its natural grease. the latter countries the wool is of ore importance than the meat, and it ij be reasonably assumed that grow iknow and follow the best plan of aling with the fleeces. Where sheep ikept ou grasslands there is no press l necessity for washing, but where ey are fed on tillage lands, say the iglisli farmers, it is almost absolutely mtial to remove the soil and dirt. The ishing of sheep always < arries away m the skin of the animal a natural r soap called suint, which is very able in water, with the result that the ol becomes harsh and dry and re nted in value for many manufacturing ■poses. I n washed wool should be a Bible advantage to the grower, as it ■ht to fetch a larger price, and the Hof washing would be saved. In K where sheep must be washed, it is ■bab e to perform the operation in a ■d or tub, rather than in a running Ram. as the suint does not flow away, ■is taken up- or at least a portion of ■y the fleece of the animal as it ■ryes from the water.— American Cul mf.ur. 1 Horse Staples. ■ o have healthy and hearty horses ■fare must be taken to provide them Bsuitable stables.

Plant More Rye. | s a crop that can be made to aiore service to the farmer and la a than any other, yet it is more Qt jy overlooked and discarded should be. It is a plant that not ‘■Uure-; the cold of winter and the , SUni mer, but it will grow on the soil or tlie poorest sandy land. le sections it is really the clover of > 101l 01 wat^out its aid and th e ages of green manuring would be ■ aiJ e, and as it can be made to im -ole to the soil than it takes from e ' s no risk in growing it under 'tions.. Kven the seed is cheap, e cultivation necessary is very 'compared with other crops. As he grain crop it is behind oats, arley and corn, but the straw is a uable than that of any other ,r which it is sometimes grown ln ." °V t the value as a grain crop ran ks high in more ways 'ail 1 act that it can be sold 1 . a,l( t niade to produce a late 1 green food after other grasses j cease growing should prompt farmer* to devote a space to rye every season, but its usefulness extends further. The se vere coldof the hardestwinters will not in jure it,and early in the spring, long before grass begins to grow, rye appears in its green condition to afford a supply of suc culent herbage to the stock at a time when it is most needed. It allows the stock the privilege of eating off the early growth, aud when the grass ap- ‘ pears, and the grass is no longer re quired, it will grow out again and make a crop of grain. It can then, in early spring, if preferred by the farmer, be ploughed under instead of being allowed to seed, and it will provide an excellent manure for the corn croo. In one respect rye is a cheap crop because it requires no land for its growth, to a certain extent. That is, if the seed is sown in the fall on land intended for corn in the spring, and the rye turned in before planting corn, the rye simply holds the land that would otherwise be unoccupied during the winter. It is also excellent on land intended for pota toes, and as it assists in keeping down weeds it saves much labor in that re- , spect. As rye can be pastured at nearly all stages ol growth and can be turned un- j der as a green manurial agent at any time, the farmer who fails to sow it will deprive himself and his stock of a mo3t valuable plant, aud as it can be seeded down at any time at this season the land for that purpose should be prepared with out delay. Of course it thrives best on rich land, but even the poorest soil should be sowed to rye rather than to leave it unoccupied.— Neva York Herald, j Swine-Breeding for Size. The fancies of men do so vary that it is not po sible at any given period to say in what shape or in what condition a given commodity may be most salable. The time was when cream cheese would not sell to consumers, if under one year old or approaching that age. Now, rich cream, lresh from the hands of the maker is esteemed a luxury. It is not long since the center of the berry was thought best for producing superior flour. Now, that which is obtained from close proximity to the hull, or bran, is counted best of all. It is within the memory of many that the large breed of swine, notably the Poland Chinas and Chester Whites, got their “send-off” to quite a degree through possessing large size. The same was true of the beef breeds of cattle, notably short horns. We remember well when it was counted a serious defect in a short horn beast not to be large —extra large symmetry not being considered of first importance, as now. As to swine, the ancients bred for size, and history tells us that great weights and extraordinary thickness of meat were bred for and at tained. Prior to the great depreciation that oc curred to live-stock-growing and general agriculture during the middle ages- say up to the sixteenth century—great weights were attained to. \ ari o tells of a cut of swine meat that was sent by a peasant to Volumnius, a Senator, that measured a “foot and three fingers in thickness.” Another Roman historian mentions a Lusitanian hog, whose meat, when cut up, measured one foot and three inches in thickness. We have accounts of gre»f weights, approaching the period w, the im provements in farm stock toT-". place. A specimen of the old Berkshire Dreed is stated to have attained the weight of 1280 pounds. In 1774 a hog was killed, having a reported weight of 1100 pounds, with a length of close to ten feet, and a height of four feet and five inches. The writer, when a boy, was in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the time of the exhibition of a spotted hog, brought to the city from Butler County, Ohio, whose weight wa3 said to he 1323 pounds. A small flat boat was built, on which this hog was floated down the river to New Orleans, being exhibited on the way. This was about 183vt. This hog was doubtless of the Poland-CLina sort. Size, other things being equal, was, not many years since, to quite a degree the thing that governed the price in our leading markets. But it is different now —at any rate, it is to quite a degree. Yet, should the exactions of the market change, calling again for very large hogs, swine are so readily molded, and breed so rapidly, that the caprices of the markets can be met to an extent not at tainable by any other class of live stock, j As is well known to breeders, there are, ; in pretty much every litter, pigs that are shaped for a greater growth than others in the same litter, and nothing is more certain than that by selecting these, breeding of like kind, not akin, upon them, large size would be promptly secured.— Prairie Farmer. Farm and Garden Notes. Plant cucumbers for late pickles. Near the close of a journey let the , horse walk. P.ran will pay the milk seller, but oats the butter-maker. Never wash a horse with cold water when he is heated. Use land in which some cultivated • crop grew last year. The cropping process diminishes the supply of plant foods. The humble cow pea does not receive the attention it merits. Sheep are often injured by roaming through tall, wet grass. It is inhuman to allow a sharp-spurred rooster to run with hens. If the hog pasture gets short this month, roots and pumpkins can be used to supplement it. Ducks may be profitably raised on : farms wher.e there are nO streams or ponds ! of water for tnem. Do not use coal oil or grease of any j kind on a sitting hen; it will prevent the eggs from hatching. The evening milk has been proven by i recent English dairy tests to contain more solids thau the morning milk. The net food may be taken at about two-th’rds the value of the ration. The balance is the value of the manure. The dairyman has a good chan e to do some independent thinking on politi cal matters this fall. When he has thought sufficiently let him vote intelli gently. A poor cow in the dairy is like a dull tool in a carpenter’s eyes. It requires the expenditure of a large percentage of energy to obtain a small percentage oi ' result. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. More Apples. Were every family to put in practice the following sensible advice of Profess or Faraday, a marked gain in the health of its members would be the result: Let every family in autumn lay in from two to ten or more barrels, and it will be to them the most economical investment in the who e range of culinary supplies. A raw, m,ellow apple is digested in an hour and a half, while boiled cabbage requires five hours. The most healthful desert that can be placed on the table is baked apple. If taken freely at break fast, with coarse bread, and without meat or flesh of any kind, it has an ad mirable effect on the general system, often removing constipation, correcting acidi ties, and cooling off febrile conditions more effectually than the most approved medicines. If families could be induced to substitute the apple—sound, ripe and luscious-for the pies, cakes, candies aud other sweetmeats, with which children are too often stuffed, there would be a diminution of doctor’s bids sufficient in a single year to lay up a stock of this de icious fruit fora season’s use. Liaundry Methods in Holland. The washerwomen of Holland and Belgium, so proverbial for their clean and beautifully white linen, use refined borax as a washing powder, in the pro portion of a half pound of borax powder to ten gallons of water. This saves soap nearly cue-half. For clothes, as eutfs and shirt bosoms, requiring tc be made stiff, a stronger solution is neces sary. Borax being a neutral salt does not in the smallest degree iu jute the tex ture of the linen. Next comes starching. A very “nice preparation for glossy starch is made in this way Pound two ounces of fine white gum arabic to a powder, put it into a pitcher and pour on it a pint or more of boiling water, cover the pitcher and let it stand all night. In the morning pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean bottle, cork it and keep it for use. A table-spoonful of this gum water should be poured into a pint of starch made in the usual way, and the linen starched with it. In ironing col lars, cuffs, etc., rub them before ironing, with a clean, white towel dampened in soft water. Rub the iron on a cotton bag, in which is a good-sized lump of beeswax. The bosom of a shirt should be the last part ironed.— Courier Journal. Home Dressmaking. , It is now very easy for girls to make their own dresses, for that which pre sents the largest difficulties is all done for them by a new system; a measure is taken, applied to a lining, and an accu rate waist pattern obtained while a lady is waiting, the whole operation requir ing less time than it sometimes takes to get change. Foundation skirts are also made which only need the pleating upon the edge, and the material draped over them; in every other respect they are shaped and finished for wear, includ ing the insertion of steels and a small “mattress.” The skirts of this season’s dresses are very simple, and not intricate in the way of draperies. The foundation skirt is from two and one-quarter to two aud one-half yards wide, and it always has a pleating at the edge. But this is not much seen, as the upper drapery is so long that it nearly covers it, the use of it being mainly to keep the plain drapery from setting in too flatly over the feet. The newest way of making the back drapery is to sew it into the back, with large plaits, which hang down in folds, the drapery falling straight to the edge of the skirt. The only variation to this arrangement is that the back breadth is lifted up aud caught here and there with a stitch, to add slightly to its fullness. The foundation skirt consists of a gored front breadth, a gored breadth on each side, and a straight w dth at the back ungored. A small mattress about seven inches square is worn, and one or two steels. These last are no longer put in in a straight line, but form an arch upwards; the top steel coming about six inches below the waist in the center, and about twelve inches at each end. This is a much more com fortable way of putting in the steels than the old one.— Housewife. Recipes.

Making 9 Young Man Look Old. “There, you look ten years older now,” said a down-town barber yester day as he released a man from the meshes of a towel and yelled: “Brush.” To the customer who followed tie said: “That was a young fellow who has just started in business here as a doctor. He looked too young, and to get patients he had to grow old in the barber's chair. Can we age a man i Well, I should say so. It’s a part of our trade. Let me take you in hand and dress your hair and beard my way for a month and you’ll look a middle-aged man. It’s all in the appearance.

It was suoli a puzzling question to me that I constitu ted myself a committee of one and went round among a lot of married women to see how their husbands proposed to them. There wasn’t one who had ever had an absolute romance of love! There wasn’t one whose husband had gotten down on his knees, caught the loved one’s band and besought of her, unless she wished to see him stark and cold with a broken heart, that she would wed him! There wasu’t one who had ever kuown the rapture of being held, with a pistol at her head, while the brave lover pronounced that unless she accep ted him, he would kill her and then himself! There w sn't one who had been gained even at the dagger’s point, and not a single wife had been drugged and wedded while in a semi conscious state! Dorothy,l confess to a certain amount of disappointment. The nearest I could get as to how the question of marriage had been reached was always that they bad drifted into it. This is deliciously vague, but it seems to mean that they knew the man, that he had the privilege of holding their hands and criticising their frocks for some time,and that then,when there was no special excitement in Wall street, a presidential election wasn’t going on, nor anything else that was distracting, they suggested that it was about time for them to get married. This is the general experience. And 1 think it a sin and a Bhame. Few women have more than one opportunity to marry, and that ought to be accompanied by all the frills and frivolities that tl e best novel writer dreamed of. The Howells and James business in ti e way of classic love making may be most desirable for nervous people; it may oalm and soothe them, but when cham pagne and love are offered it wants to do sparkling, and it wants to taste ns if snoh nectar had never been offered be fore. The cigarette imbued, white-skinned, colorless eyed, smooth-faced young man that is so prevalent just now will never offer anybody anything but the flattest cider for champagne, and when it comes to this, I say, give me ice water and platonic. —Jvew Yftrk Star. Before and After. A few days ago as a Ridge Road oar was ooming up Lake avenue, the driver ■topped on being signaled by a young man on a crossing not far from Driving Park avenue, says the Rochester Democrat, The young man was accompanied by a rather pretty young woman, who was dressed in a light, airy summer attire, »nd carried a fancy-colored sun parasol. The young man jumped aboard the car first, and rushed inside, securing the only seat vacant, leaving the young woman to follow as best she could. Of oonrse every one expected that he would give u ) his seat to his lady, but he did not do so, and she.after standing awhile holding on to a strap, concluded to have a seat anyway, and, without a word of warning, plumped down on the lap of her escort, saying as she t did so: “I’m as tired as you are, darling, and you will have to hold me until I get a seat.” He gave a grunt of the hog kind, and told her in plain English that “she oould stand or sit on the floor for all he cared, but he would not hold her.” At this several male occupants of the car offered their seats to the young wrnnau, but she declined their offer ana® aid: “He is as able to hold me now as he was before we were married, and I will sit here where I am. ” The passengers were np to this time silently smothering their laughter, but the last was too much for them, and as one remarked: “The car will be thrown off the track if we don’t stop laughing so hard.” Realizing the fact that he was making a target of him self, the young man rose hastily, nearly throwing his darling wife on the floor, and made a rush for the door, saying as he did so: “Yon take my seat; I’ll walk home.” and left the car. The wife was not dismayed in the least, but sat there quietly enjoying the fun as well as did the rest of the passengers. The Coming Ruler.
