—Whitewash should be used in order to render the stables cheerful. A light stable is more cheerful than a dark one, and as the lime partially serves to disinfect the building its apulication should be fre- quent. ~The greatest gaia is from young stock because of rapid growth, and the nearer the animal approaches maturity the slower the increase in weight. During the cold season more food is required than during summer. —Bone is one of the best substances that can be fed to hens. Ground or broken bone is highly relished. It not only contains lime for the shells, but also nitrcgen and the phosphates. It should be kept in boxes before the hens at all times. —The man who places a porcelain nest egg in the nest when the temperature is down below zero canses the hen that goes on the nest not only a large loss of animal heat to warm the cold substance, but in- flicts upon her a task which is severe and cruel. —Ducks can be easily reared without ponds, provided they bave a trough of water for bathing purposes. They are, however, more expensive when kept in that manner, as they procure a large part of their substance when runnivg at large and having access to ponds. —The larger proportion of nitrogen de- rived from gn is in the lignids, and the farmer who depends upon the solide, permitting the liquids to waste, will haul out to his land bulky naterial that will disappoint him when he harvests his crops. The liquids should be carefully saved. —For fattening lambs, careful experi- ments bave demonstrated that ao even mixture of peas and oats give the best re- salts. Next to this, and with but a small difference in favor of the ‘former, coru and peas were found hest. The fact that peas and oats may be easily and cheaply grown together adds to the advantage of this - tion. —Experiments in the feeding of carrots, beets and small potatoes to cows show that milk fever is less liable to vccar when cows are fed liberally on root crops than when they are confined to bay and graiz. No corn should be given six weeks before calv- ing. Linseed meal may be allowed with the bay, which should be cut fine and the linseed meal sprinkled over it. —The ratio of seed tostraw varies great- ly. On rich land, manured with nitrogen- ons fertilizers, the growth of straw is great compared to that of grain, and the same in wet seasons, being the reverse when the season is dry. To prevent lodging itis recommended by some that application of lime and salt be applied in the fall on the land intended for the grain crop. —Flavoring butter with the odor of fresh flowers is one of the arts of the French peasantry. ‘The process is very simple and consists of putting the little prints, which have first been wrapped in a thin cloth, into a tight porcelain dish, in a bed of roses, or whatever blossoms are chosen. Among the flowers which give the best re- sults are clover and pasturtinms, —Care bestowed upon thecalf the first year means a clear gain of a year, besides having the call stronger and a more usefal animal. Breed up, but feed up also. Work with pature and a sure reward for intelli- gent, continuous and well-directed effort will be yours. Bull calves should receive the same treatment as heifers. Keep them always growing, so that they may be vigor- ous and prepotent. —Ashes and hen manure, if wixed to- gether before being applied to the soil, result in a loss of ammonia from the drop- pings that greatly lessens their value. Use the ashes after the manure bas been mixed with the soil; the ammonia will be absorb- ed by it and remain for the use of the crop. Wood ashes make 3 valuable application for any soil deficient in potash, and basten the decomposition of coarse manures. —The common mode of feeding avimals is to give the grain in a separate trough from hay or fodder, and at different times. Such method is preferred because it saves labor, but the best results are obtained by mixing the ground grain with coarse food that has been passed through the feed out- ter. Less food will then be required to obtain results, because the mixed food will be better digested and assimilated than when the substances are given separately. —Oune of the greatest nuisances io farm- ing is the way in whioh weeds are encour- aged and protected in the corners of the fences avd in the vicinity of fences, from whioh places their seed is scattered over the surrounding lands. The exteut to which seeds are scattered from one field to another by bigh winds proves that one neg- ligent farmer may annoy hundreds of oth- ers by failing to exterminate the foul herb- age —It is a loss of valuable material to bury a S433 antmar Gaby the carcass up into small pieces as possible, placing them in a 1 box or cemented pit, using both flesh op bones as well as the entraile. Dry dirt may be used to fill the spaces hetween the pieces. Use cne part sulphuric acid to two parts water, pouring the mixture over the mass until it is thoroughly satarat- ed. Ita few days the whole will be fis for use, but very little odor being noticeable. —1It sometimes happens that the runs out when it is not convenient, and it is impossible to plow. Harrowing early in the spring and sowing a mixtare of timo- thy and other grasses will greatly increase crop ou such fields in another season. | Christin It may, however, on some lands bring in a crop of weeds, whose seeds bave lain dormant for years,and only needed scratoh- the surface to induce germination.

To be obliged to beg one's daily happiness from others bespeaks a more lamentable poverty than to be obliged to beg one's daily bread, —Colfon, Cat steel buttons always hold their own, especially this year, when combined with gay enainel or gold. Particulaily effective was one with a rim of cut steel around solid white enamel, with steel studdings and an open filigiee centre. Since the duty is here and unavoidable, it is a measure of altruism to suggest meaos of accomplishing it. The trouble and cost of the present-giving are minimized if the purchaser can make a choice she knows will be happy to the friend who is to re- ceive it, and will not at the same time en- tail flabbiness iu her own purse for three mouths to come. For the latter result she must rely upon her prudence, but the former is in a degree simplified for her by the shopkeepers who achieve the apparent- ly impossible in the production of novel- ties for each Christmas seasou. I cail them novelties, and yet, after all, they are in reality old friends with new faces. Candlesticks, for instance, have been used since the days of the first rushlight. Bat not such candlesticks as those one sees now, when in nearly all well-furnished homes the soft light of wax tapers has heen voted more becoming than that of gas or electricity. Some of the new art candle- sticks remind one of long-stemmed’ flowers, and even those that retain the old-fashion- ed outlines wear them with a modern grace. In metal, candlesticks are to be found in wrought iron, copper, brass, and silver ; and the baser metals, in their dull lustie and careful finish, are often mote pleasing than the silver. The candles may also be found in graceful shapes in cut glass, and in china and pottery, plain or decorated. Candlesticks have the great recommenda- tion that one can hardly own too many of them, so thas the baunting fear of dupii- cates is less present in purchasing these than in buyiog almost any other adorn- ment. The work of our Arts and Crafts societies all over the country is to be thanked for the improvement in the shapes of oar fa- miliar furnishings. Craftsmen bave turned their attention to pottery and wood as well as to metal, and the Chrissmas-gifs chooser bas offered ber a variety of attrretive ob- jects in wood that in their simplicity avd admirable lines hear no resemblance to the tortured jig-saw productions thatat one period seemed the last popular word in woodwork. The tables, book-racks, frames, ete., that one may buy for a comparatively small sum will hold their own hy the side of the most expensive farniture in the home. A magazine stand is shown - that would grace any library, and so would one of the little folding-tables designed to hold the desk fittings of blotter,inkstands, pen-tray, aod the like. These fittings may be in leather,or metal, but the stand that holds is of wood and severely plain in its design and finish. The legs make it stand six or eight inches high, and may be folded under it if desired. The table may he used for a breakfast in bed as well as for a library ad- junet. Many of the pictore-frames which are usually welcome gifts are made with the same studied plainness, and even the oval. French frames to he seen for sale this season are guiltless of any ornament other than their fine finish and nigh polish. Ornament is not so restricted when it comes to pottery. The miniatare repro- ductions of the celebrated pieces that have made famous the names of such potteries as Wedgwood, Doulton, and Crown Stal- fordshire are in some cases rich in orna- ment. Time was when only the wealthiest china-lovers could hope to have a choice specimen from one of these great factories. Now the reproductions are within the reach of those of slender purse, and a miniature replica of the Portland vase,a tiny ‘Toby’ jog, or a hit of Jasper blue may be selected as a reasonably priced Christmas gilt for a pottery-loviog friend. There are even sets of these pieces put up in boxes holding four, five,or six specimens of ware. These cannot be termed imitation, since they come from the manufactories of the famous wares. The housekeeping friend is a hoon at this season of the year. With only a small amount of judgment one can hardly go far amiss in buying her a present. Any of the objects I have mentioned wonld be wel- come to her, and there is a vast range of pretty new things in china and linen in which one may be sure of finding some- thing that can bardly fail to please. It is rather a risk to buy pictures for even an intimate friend, but if she be easy to please or of a long-suffering disposition, one may chance i% at Christmas. For the beaefit of those who like good reproductions may be found the band-colored prints and photo- graphs that are genuine water-colors in evervthing except the origina! sketch. That is, the photography of a landscape, the print of a portrait, is colored by an artistic hand until practically a fac-simile of the original. When it comes to selecting personal gifts the way is made easier for those who choose for women than for those who wish to give presents to men. For the latter may be the magazine or book rack, or frame or desk set or brasses—if he has bachelor chambers or is an exceptional bead of a household. As a rule, a man does not feel that a gift is a gift unless for his personal service. Every man with a particle of consideration for others should start a fad—for prints or pies or pottery or riding-crops or somethi that may be contributed to indefinitely. Every womau or girl is on thealert for something new in belts. In this time of the universal shirt-waist the belt must be unusoal in order to lend distinction to the costume. This year patent-leather belts are shown for those who wish a stiff belt, aud they are to be found in a number of colors aod adorned with polka-dots. Or you may give your friend jewelry at as. Once this suggestion would have seemed absurd except to those who had much money to spend. Bat the day has gone by when precious stones were the only wear. Now the semi-precious stones bave come to their own. any of them are more beautiful than most of the pre- cious stones. Chalcedony in many colors, amethysts, turquoise, turquoise matrix, amazonite, rose-quartz, tourmaline, lapis- luzali, in necklaces, collars, bracelets, pendants, rings. One does not know if the present passion for jewelry is the results of supply or demand. Such jewelry shows a great variety of mounting as well as of stones.

I wag unable toget up without assistance and from that time I suflered for years with a weak back and exeruciating pains through the loins and through the small of my back. Sometimes I was completely vrostrated and helpless. Doctors and medicines failed to help me and the pain continued until I got Doan's Kidney Pills, [took only a few doses before 1 be to feel better and when I had continued using them for a while I was thoroughly cured.
