"The interpreter—'l will make it sll. Do.you hear, you miserable scoundrel, 1 will make it sll. Eleven dollars I offer you for your old mule, which will die in about a week. You are a robber aud a thief to take that much, but I am a generous man anil I serve a great and generous man and in my great generosity I offer you that, you scum of Africa.' "Then they both yelled and shook their lists at each other and I thought that they were going for each other hammer and tongs. The row they made was terrible, but no one seemed to notice it. Finally a bargain was struck and then they fell upon each other's necks and embraced. That was the way 1 got my mule."—De- troit Free Press. The Klml ol Man Women Like. Probably the best thing that was ever written on the interesting ques tion of what women like in men is summed up in the idea that women like a man who can be strong as a lion when trouble comes and yet if one is , nervous aud tired can button up a shoe with an amount of consideration that is a mental and physical bracer up.

Much complaint is made of the dam age done to wool by marking with tar or paiut which will not wash off. The following recipe is recommended as one which will resist the weather and at tho same time can be readily re moved with soap and warm water : Take lampblack or Spanish red, and mix with strong vinegar; mix it well to the thickness of paint. The sheep should be marked on some part of the back ; by this means the mark is not so likjlly to be obliterated by the ani mals rubbing together. By employ ing the above mixture, instead of the yvool being depreciated iu value, as "it is by the use of tar and paint, it will bring its full value.—New York World. TiItATHF.I! SCRAPS FOE GRAPEVINES. Any kind of tanned leather, whether in the form of a scrap or otherwise, decays very sloyvly in the soil 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 the soil underneath moist and cool, and at the same time prevent the weeds from growing. As the leather decays the fertilizing ma terial in it will be carried down to the roots b.y rain, and nothing will be lost by using sucli coarse scraps as a top dressing for plants. If spread over your garden and plowed in the leather will decay somewhat more rapidly than when left on the surface, but in hoeing and weeding of your plants tho large scraps arc likely to become somewhat troublesome.—New York Sun. FEEDING 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 yvitli yvhat they pick from their barns' rations and tho mother milk make an enor mous growth, often fully 1000 pounds at eight, months old. For shoyv purposes this is a good feed, but the flesh laid on is not solid and speedily falls away yvhen actual work begins.. Bones and sinews share the same condition, hence the preva lence of unsound joints, especially soft, puffy hocks, are sure to follow'. Milk feeding forces a rapid growth in consistent yvitli the nature of the horse and the yvork he is called upon to per form. Nothing will build up an old or run down horse 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 horse is recovering from stomachic troubles milk may be fed in small quantities to good advantage, but as iu cases of colts great care must be used in regulating the quantity given. To build u)i a run down constitution in a colt nothing takes the place of milk, but it should 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 bo dropped suddenly with out injury to the colt. It should never be used to put fat onto an al ready hearty youngster, aud remem ber that nature would have supplied the more with a large udder if colts needed much milk.—New England Homestead. HARDNESS OF HITTER. The Neyv Hampshire Experiment Station 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 extensive enough to justify the drawing of conclusions, their ex periments thus far indicate: That gluten meal tends to produce a much softer quality of butter than corn meal and cottonseed meal, and other things being equal tends to lessen the churnability of the butter fat. That with the same cmvs the hardness ile ponds much more upon the character of the food then upon the nuiritive ratio; that ensilage produces a much softer butter than does good liav , but it is also favorable to the flavor and texture of the butter product that sktuiiiied milk has a very favorablt el feet Upon the ehlirnabillty and qnallt \ of the butter fat, ami iu a single trial appareutlji reversed the general ruh that the vnlatih tatty acuh deer east as the period of lactation advances, that cuttoiiM i d iiu al tends to product au unusually hard quality of butter, aud that cottonseed lueal alnl glllteli lit eat might lie lUk d together with t\ tell, iii n Milts; that eonlrarv to gen i lal belle 1 tin- melting point of blltti I fat is not a good mdev of ihi c>. u no reial banlm ts of butter that wluh in gemral a oft butler un it at a lower 11 in |>ti al lire than n lim I Initlti then is no delimit ri laliou betan-n •tolling point aid actual liar din . that Ho relation can bt I raced lulHi, n fools and v. latilu tatty acid* t-»f> p| m tin is- of kiut lull k ; that iisilall.

The cost of seed is a mere trifle. One 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 seo its full value. Clover, like some of the weeds, is hard to exterminate if allowed togo to seed. If the seed are plowed under six 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 time the land lies idle, lied 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 comes 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 meadow* with clover in them should be cut as soon as the clovsr 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 being early harvested.—Farmers' Review. WINTER SHOEING. Shoes in the winter season are re quired to discharge a double duty—tc afford foothold as well as to guarii against undue wear. William Dick son, in the United States Government report on the horse, says on the sub ject : Various patterns of shoes have from time to time been invented to meet this dual requirement; but the commonest of all, fashioned with tot and lieel calks or calking, is, faulty though it be, probably, all things eon sidered, the one yvhicli best suits the requirement of the case. It should, however, never be lost sight of thai the shorter, the sharper anil the smallei the calkins are, so long as they answei the purpose which called them intc existence, so much the better for th< foot that wears them. High calkins, while they confer nc firmer foothold, are potent means oi inflicting injuring both on the foot it self and the superincumbent limb al large. It is only from that portion ol the catch which enters the ground stir face that the horse derives any bonetil in the shape of foothold, and it tnusi be apparent to the meanest capacity that long calkins yvliicli do not pene trate the hard, uneven ground are st many levers put into the animals pos session to enable if not compel him ti yvring his feet, wreak his limbs and iu flict untold tortures on himself. I have laid particular stress on thii subject, as I am of the opinion thai the presence of the navicular disease, a dire malady from which horses usee for agricultural labor should enjoy e practical immunity, is traceable largely to the habitual use during our long yvinter months of needlessly large cal kins, only fractional parts of which find lodgment in the earth or ice dur ing progession. I will explain yvhat I mean. Whet a horse is shod y\ith the exaggerated calkins to yvhicli I have alluded the to« aud heel calks are, or ought to be, tin same height to start with, at all events Very often, however, they are not, am j even wheu they are the toe calk wear* i down on animals used for draught pur i poses fur more rapidly than its fellovn at tin- heel. The result is that the tot is depressed while the heel is uunatur | ally raised.

Tlio kitchen of the farmhouse should have the best attention in the laying out of a plan for building. To slight ly alter Solomon's advice about the field, it may be said, first make the kitchen fit and then build the house. This is due to the most important part of the farmhouse—the wife and moth er. Her health and life often depend upon the kind of kitchen she spends a large part of her time in. Tt i6 pre ferably built as -mi anuex to the house on the e*,st side, getting the morning snn and escaping the mid-day heat. On the north side should be an out side kitchen lor storage, for a laundry and the refrigerator. Tliore should be windows on three sides, and the fire should be on the side adjoining tho house.—New York Times. PRETTY ANl> USEFUL. Convenient and useful eases fot knives, forks and spoons are made of white cotton flannel. Half the ordi nary width of the flannel is the width of the case. Make it long enough to fold onto itself the length of the kuife, spoon or fork, and allow five inches at the top, with rounded corners, for the flap. Bind with pretty braid, aud stitch the fold into twelve compartments with the silk used for stitching on the braid. When filled with silver, they art conveniently rolled up, tied at one side by a piece of braid, and put nway. The silver is kept bright and un scratched in these cases. Pin balls or pin cushions—and neither name is exactly appropriate, may be made by covering six uniform circles of thin cardboard, about two inches in diameter, with China silk. The same color, different shades or contrasting colors, may be used to suit one's tastes. Sew two circles together, bnek to back, with silk. Procure baby ribbons to match, anil suspend the three at difiereut lengths from a many-looped bow. Arrange the pins like rays from the circles, having, if desired, different sized pins for each circle. This makes a useful and pretty ornament for the parlor, as there is no room where a {tin is needed more.—Yankee Blade. KK.nr THE RABIES WARM, A professional nurse of many years" experience tells me that she finds more babies suffering from insufficient clothing among the rich than among the poor. For example, she was sum moned by a physician to a wealthy family where the five months' old baby was suffering from some mysteri ous trouble that batlleil everybody. He ootlld live only a few days, the doctor said, if something was not done. He could keep nothing on his stomach, and was slowly starving to death. The nurse found a distracted mother aud a pinched and moaning baby. His flesh was blue, and there was a settled look of anguish on his face. The uurse picked him up from the silk and laces of his costly crib and found just what she expected. Drest and skirts of lincu fine as gossamer and about as warm ; shirts aud socks like lace; flannel skirts of the reguia tion number, but so fine aud thin as to give little warmth. "Is this the way vou have dressed your baby from the first?" asked the nurse. "Oh, yes.l've always had the best of everything fot him," answered the mother. "Well, it's no wonder he is sick. He hasn't enough onto keep a fly warm iu July." The nurse called for the thick est blanket iu the house ami the hot water bag, and sent the astonished mother downtown for the warmest flannel wrappers, however ugly they might be. The result was that iu a few days the child was taking his food perfectly, aud was thriving as well as could be desired. Babyhood. RECIPES.
