They like a man who likes them, who doesn't acorn their opinions, who believes in their good taste, who has confidence in them and wit enough to realize that when ouo of tho fairer sex is slightly stubborn persuasion is more powerful than all tho arguments in the world.

Much complaint is niaile of the ilam ape done to wool by marking with tar or paint which will not wash off. Thn following recipe ia recommended as one which will resist the weather and at tho same time can 1 readily re moved with soap nnd warm water: Take lampblack or Spanish red, and mix with strong vinegar ; mix it well to tho thickness of paint. The sheep should be marked on some part of the back ; by this means the mark is not so likely to be obliterated by the ani mals rubbing together. By employ ing the above mixture, instead of the wool being depreciated in value, as it is by the use of tar and paint, it. will bring ita full value. New York World. LEATHER SCRAPS FOB 0 11 ArE VINES, Any kind of tanned leather, whether in tho form of a scrap or otherwise, decays very slowly in the coil and the best way to use it is as a mulch about your grape vines. . If spread over the surface to the depth of two or three inches it will keep tho soil underneath ruoiBt and cool, and at the same time prevent the weeds from growing. As the leather decays the fertilizing ma terial in it will bo carried down to the roots by rain, aud nothing will be lost by using such coarse scraps as a top dressing for plants. If spread over your garden and plowed iu the lenther will decay somewhat moro rapidly than when left on the surface, but in hoeing and weeding of your plants the largo scraps are likely to become somewhat troublesome. jsew York Sun. FEEDINa MILK TO COLTS. In England and Scotland it is an al most universal practice to feed draught colts a daily ration of new milk, gen erally warm from the cow. Flaxseed jelly and crushed oats are sometimes added, but the mixture is carefully skimmed before feeding. As might be expected, colts fed on this with what they pick from their barns' rations and the mother milk make an enor mous growth, often fully 1000 pounds at eight months old. For show purposes this is a good feed, but the flesh laid on is not solid and speedily falls nway when actual work begins. Bones and sinews share the Biime condition, hence the preva lence of unsound joints, especially soft, puffy hocks, are sure to -follow. Milk feeding forces a rapid growth in consistent with the nature of the horse and the work he is called upon to per form. Nothing will build up an old or run down horso for show as quickly as milk. Nothing is so good as milk drink to remove an appearance of gauntness during shows and sales. When a horso is recovering from stomachic troubles milk may be fed in small quantities to good advantage, but as in cases of colts great care must be used in regulating the quantity given. To build np a run down constitution in a colt nothing takes the place of milk, but it shonld be well skimmed and fed in moderation. Two or three quarts three times a day is enough. Taper off the feed gradually. Milk feed cannot be dropped suddenly with out injury to the colt. It should never be used to put fat on to an al ready heartv Vonnirster. and ber that nature would have supplied the mare with a large udder if colts needed much milk. New England Homestead. HARDNESS OF BUTTER, The Xew Hampshire Experiment Stat ion has conducted some experi ments as to the effects of different foods upon the hardness of butter, aud though the work in this direction is not as yet exteusive enough to justify the drawing of conclusions, their ex periments thus far inrlioiji Tim. gluten meal tends to produce a niuch A . soiier quality oi Dutter than corn meal aud cottonseed meal, and other things being equal tends to lessen the chuniability of the butter fat. That with the same cows the hardness de pends much more upon the character of tho food then upon tho nuiritive ratio; that ensilage produces a much softer butter than does good hay ; but it is also favorable to tho llavoraud texture of the butter product that bKinimcu miiK lias a very favorable ef fect upon the churuability and quality of the butter fat, and iu a single triiil apparently reversed tho general rulo that the volatile fatty acids decrease as tho period of lactation advances ; that cottonseed meal tends to produce an unusually hard quality of butter, aud that cottonseed meal and gluten meal might be used together with ex cellent results ; that contrary to gen eral belief the melting point of butter fat is not a good iudex of the com mercial hurduess of butter; that while in general a soft butter melts at a lower temperature than a hurd butter there is no deliuite, relation between melting point and actual hardness; that no relation can be traced between foods and volatile futty acids except iu the case of skim milk; tliut usually liardiieaN ami volatile acids vary in versely, lmrdiiesn generally increasing uud Volnlile. iteiils diereiiHing us tin period of lactation advances. liocky Mountain 11 linbHiidinuii. CLOVEK THE INNOVATOR. No Held should lie idle without clover. There is no telling how much laud lies idle every year bare of clover, beeatio the farmer had uo time to prepare it at tho proper time for clover seed, lint it is a mistake to KUppoac, as is too often doue, that the laud must be broken nnd put in fine condition for clover seed. Clover seed sown at tho light lime will take root on almost irtiy kiud of land. Jt staudk a hard hind soino -seunoiis the best. Of coin-si-, if the hind is rough aud very uneven, us it generully is alter corn and other plowed crops, the clover cuuuot )r cut. but that u, no reason why tin- Ian I i-hould not be in clover, it i l. t ler f..r the IrniJ if the clover jo ull jwi i tj fvwuai vu u. It helps to put life in the soil and can be pastured as well when the land is in a rongh condition as when smooth. The cost of seed is a mere trifle. On bushel will do for eight acres, and one bushel to twelve acres will make a big show and be of great help to the land. When the practice of sowing clover seed becomes general clover seed will be used without stint, as it should be in order for us to see its full value. Clover, like some of the weeds, is hard to exterminate if allowed to go to seed. If the seed are plowed tinder aix or eight inches they will remain in a sound condition for years and grow readily when brought near the surface by deep plowing. Whore the clover has ever been on the land clover plants will make their appearance every timo the land lies idle. Red clover when fed alone to work stock may be in many ways objectionable, but when fed in connection with tim othy hay we cannot see that any ob jection can be made to it. Much ol the prejudice against clover as food for work stock cornea from letting stock have too much. But no particu larly bad results have been noticed from giving work horses all they can eat ol timothy and clover equally mixed. It should not be forgotten that mcadowi with clover in them should be cut at soon as the clovjr is ready for the machine. It clover is allowed to get dead ripe its nutritive qualities are in a measure lost. Timothy loses noth ing, save a little in weight, from boinj early harvested. Farmers' Review. WINTER SHOEINO. Shoes in the winter season are re quired to discharge a double duty tc afford foothold as well as to guard against undue war. William Dick sou, in tho United States Government report on the horse, says on the sub ject : Various patterns of shoes hav from time to time been invented to meet this dual requirement; but th commonest of all, fashioned with tcx and heel calks or calking, is, faultj tnougn it do, probablv, all tinners con sidered, the one which best suits the requirement of the case. It should, however, never be lost sight of thai the shorter, the sharper and the smallei the calkins are, so long as they answei the purpose which called them intc existence, so much tho better for th foot that wears them. High calkins, while they confer no firmer foothold, are potent means ol inflicting injuring both on the foot it self and the superincumbent limb ai large. It is only from that portion ol the catch which enters the ground sur face that tho horse derives any benefit in the shape of foothold, and it must be apparent to the meanest capacity that long calkins which do not pene trate the hard, uneven ground are sc many levers put iuto the animals pos session to enable if not compel him tc wring his feet, wreak his limbs and in flict untold tortures on himself. I have laid particular stress on thii subject, as I am of the opinion that the presence of the navicular disease, a dire malady from which horses used for agricultural labor should enjoy practical immunity, is traceable large j to the habitual use during our long winter mouths of needlessly large cal kins, only fractional parts of which find lodgment in tho earth or ico dur ing progessiou. I will explain what I mean. Whet a horse is shod with the exaggerated calkins to which I have alluded the toi aud heel calks are, or ought to be, th same height to start with, at all events. Very often, however, they are not, and even when they are the toe calk weart down on animals used for draught pur poses far more rapidly than its fellowi at the heel. The result is that the toe is depressed while the heel is unnatur ally raised. The relative position of the bony structures within the foot is altered, and the navicular bone, which is not one of the weight bearing bones, ii brought within the angle of incidence of both weight and concussion, in fluences which it was never contain plated it should withstand, and whicb its structure precludes its sustaining without injury. Farmers' Homo Jour uul. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Hen manure is valuable, and should be carefully saved. Keep fewer horses, but give them better caro and feed. Wood ashes are much better for fruit trees than coal. Never let a horse that has been ex ercising stand in a draught. A draught horse need not be im ported to be a desirable animal. An effort is being made in the East to repeal the oleomargarine laws. In trimming fruit or forest trees do not cut out too much at ouo time. It is said that hogs in an orchard are an excellent preventative against blight. Bran mashes and roots fed judic iously to the colts will ward off attucki of count ipatiou. By sending liie grains and grasses t market in the form of butter, the transportation bill is much smaller. Notation of crops not only aids iu maintaining or increasing fertility, but it helps to rid the ground of insect pests. Home one recommends dubbing farm poultry to avoid frozen combs. Tho comb should be removed with out cut from a pair of sharp shears. A lit tle raw starch mixed with alum will stop the blei ding or prepared chalk or collodion will answer. The rule for selecting hens foi breeding grades is r Have them wide between t li- hho.ildi, villi broad, prominent breuats and deep body ; the I reast bone Jong nu.1 straight aud the skin thin. Look for bulk of body without coarHciiccK. The male liird should be of the same character ; but, while I he h.-u msy be herself a grade, tlic luule. biluuli be a li)orgUlilred. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

A professional nurse of niauy years experience tells me that she finds more babies suffering from insuflicicnt clothing among tho rich than among the poor. For example, she was sum-, moned by a physician to a wealthy family where the live' months' old baby was suffering from some mysteri ous trouble that baffled everybody. He could live only a few days, the doctor said, if something was not done. He could keep nothing on his stomach, and wus slowly starving to death. The nurse found a distracted mother aud a pinched and moaning baby. His flesh was blue, aud there was a settled look of anguish on his face. The nurse picked him up from the silk and laces of his costly crib and found just what she expected. lresi and skirts of linen flue as gossamer and about as warm ; shirts aud socks like laoe ; flanuel skirts of the regula tion number, but so fine and thin as to give little warmth. "Is this the way you have dressed your baby from the first ?" asked the nurse. "Oh, yes, I've always had the best of everything for him," answered the mother. "Well, it's no wonder he is sick. He hasn't enough on to keep a fly warm in July." The nurse called for the thick est blanket in the house and the hot water bag, and sent the astonished mother downtown for the warmest flannel wrappers, however ugly they might be. The result was that in a few days the child was taking his food perfectly, aud was thriving as well as could be desired. Babyhood. HECIl'ES.

A well-known authority at Paris ou nervous and mental disputes, M. Onirics Fere, who is a specialist in this direction, says, thnt these diseases are frightfully on the Increase In France. According to the Taris correspondent of the Chloago Weekly Dispatch, ho thinks this is due to the In crease o beer, drinking absinthe, aud drink ing at bars. He says there was hardly such a thing as a bar twenty years ago, and that one sees them now all over the town ami always crowded. He notes as conne-ted with this alcoholic consumption, tliu in crease of spine and brain diseases in young children, lie also attributes to drink aud druukenness the tendency to race deteriora tion and depopulation. He note the fact, that children ol drunken parents aroattlui lime of birth less developed than thosn ot sober parents, and that there arc possible arrests of development iu many dlroct Ions. Ho says: "It sever can le repeated often enough, thnt alcoholic, drinks are now t lie great enemy of the rnces which do not ab stain from them, and that if tho Aryaus go on tippling asthey do, they must llnally give way to Jews, Arabs aud Ciilnese."

In a recent issue you say, "Anarchists want to get bread by force, but they seem willing to pay for beer." Yea, ami how much do they pay? The Anarchists are only a very small wing of the laboring classes of our country. It Is hardly worth while to find out how much they pny for beer and whisky, but the millions of working people pay over 750.000,000 every year for that which Is not bread. Why not remind them of this fact? They are the main support of the colossal rum trnfflc which boasts of drawing into its coffers (900,000,000 an nually. The laboring poople of the country spend more for whisky aud beer than the entire banking capital of the Nation. If they would save what they spend in this way and start banks thev could soon have 10,000 banks with 'J, 250,000.000 capital. Don't get the figures wrong. I'll write it out, so there will be no mistake. In three years, by saving what they pour down their throats, they could have banks running in their interest with an aggregate capital of two thousand two hun dred ami nit y millions of dollars, leaving a net prollt of at least one hundred millions a year to he divided among them. Tut this at thorn, put It at them strong tho way for the poor to get rich Is to stop "spending money for that which Is not broad, and their labor foi that which aatislloth not." O for a pub lic press that will speak fearlessly on this subject. Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. A ('OH '. l.Y BOTTLE. One of the most cruel things which wicked men can do Is to sell strong drluk to Ignor ant heathen savages. Thousands of barrels of strong drink are sent from Europe and America to Africa to poison the benighted Africnus ; and of late strong drink has been sold Iu Alaska to the Indians, and has pro duced most serious results. The Government has prohibited such sale, and now and then a man gets what he deserves. Stephen Mer ritt, of New York, who visited Alaska, says be saw a man sent to prison tor nine months for selling a bottle of whisky. He was fireman on the ship in which Mr. Merritt sailed, and when he went on shore in Alaska he took a bottle of whisky whicb cost him a dollar, thinking to make something by selling it for a larger amount. An Indian woman bought the whisky and paid him two dollars, so be made n dollar ; but he violated United States law, and soon found that he was "out of a job," and was landed in Jail for nine months. Mr. Merritt and ethers tried to persuade the ofBoers to let him off with a tine, so that he could keep bis place as fireman where he was needed, but they refused, anil so he was sent to jail. If every man who sells whisky, either to the savage or the civilized, In Africa, America or Alas ka, could be lauded in jail for nine months, the people could afford to board them there, pay them a salary and take care of their families at home, and make more money by the operatiou than this sailor did selling a bottlo of whisky for two dollars.
