FARM NOTES.
—The horses will get more benefit from
their rest at noon if the harness is removed
as soon as they get to the stable.
—Breed good mares to good horses and
you need bave no fear of the result. It is
blood shat tells in horse breeding.
—There is money, good substantial mon-
ey, not that in small quatity, in breed-
ing horses well, with a xed end in view,
—The real test of value in a horse is
strength, lively action, and endurance, all
combined in the lightest weight possible.
—Firmness, kindness and patience are
three of the essential elements in the make-
up of anyone who is a success in handling
horses.
—Good feet are essential in a good horse.
In purchasing or breeding to any horse see
that iy feet are sound substantial and well
formed.
--In very many instances poor results on
the farm are due more to farming methods,
or rather to the lack of them, than any-
thing else.
—Is there any way in which you can
grow $200 worth of farm products with less
labor, less capital and better profit than
by raising a good horse ?
—The very nature of the conditions and
surroundings requisite to the production of
first-class carriage horses will long stand in
the way of an over-supply.
—The hog is an animal for level, fertile
grain land, avd the sheep for billy, thin
and worn land, as sheep graze closer to the
ground than any other farm stock.
—From the age of two and ooe-balf
ears a well-bred colt, properly fed and
Tandied, shoald be able to do enough work
about the farm to pay for his keeping.
—*“Plumpiog’’ poultry is done by dip-
ping the fowls 10 seconds in water nearly
or quite boiling hot, and then immediately
, in cold water. Hang ina cool place until
the animal heat is entirely out of the body.
—A brood sow should be fed a variety
such as bran, roots, eto. Corn is fattening
and shonld not be fed in large quantities.
It promotes neither growth of the sow nor
pies. Some green vegetable food should
given in winter.
— A snocessful farmer says he does not
have to inspect a farm to see whether it
jag or not. ‘‘Just give me a chance to
ook into the barn. The condition thinge
are kept in is all the go-by 1 want.” The
barn is a tell -tale on the careless or waste-
fal farmer.
—The larmer that makes avy pretense to
dairy interests soon learns to know the
great value of soiling crops. When the
early sammer drought dries up the pasture
there is nothing like having a supplemen-
tary orop to draw needed supply rations
from for the miloh cows.
— Poor batter is caused by over-churn-
ing, over-salting, over-workiog. From the
start the milk is tainted. The cows should
be well fed ; the bands of the milker should
be perfectly clean; the milk should never
he set where there are bad odors to taint it,
and if the cream is kept too long, the taints
will be intensified.
—To preserve the wheels of vehicles asd
also to prevent shrinkage of avy of the
parts, put some boiling linseed oil intoa
pan or other vessel and raise the wheel so
that the rit will pass through the oil. Re-
volve the wheel and let the felloes be well
soaked for about three minutes and the
wheel will then be more durable.
—Shingles are usually 16 inches long,
and a baodle of them is 20 inches wide and
contains 24 courses in the thiokuess at each
end. A bundle of shingles will lay one
course 80 feet long
cover 107 square feet ; five inches, 132
square feet; six inches, 160 square feet.
—A large number of farmers will dis-
card a crop altogether the v.xt searon if
prices are low at present, which is just the
opposite practice to the course that should
be pursued, for the season that when ove
farme: drops out others are entertaining
the same views, the result being that the
artiole will be scarce the next year and
prioes high.
—The Maine Experiment Station has
discovered a hen that laid 250 eggs in oue
year. In fact, she laid 251 eggs in one
ear, conntiog from Thavksgiving day to
A ay day. This hen come from a
selected family of 200-egg layers as the orig-
inal foundation. In the same family there
were a number of hens that laid over 240
eggs in a year.
—The physical nature of the horse is
similar to our own. In winter instead of
taking off olothiug we put on more. Use
the same logio with the horse and provide
him with a good warm blauket when stand-
ing in the cold. When standing bitched,
taro his bead with the wind, rather than
facing it. He will feel the cold much less.
—The most valuable ‘‘condiments” for
hogs are ashes, salt and copperas. A big
breeder says be once a week rakes up the
oohe in the feeding yard and burns them,
thus giving the swine some charcoal ; ooca-
si y he hauls ina load of coal ashes,
audsals dud wapperan ate tized with wood
ashes and kept in a trough where the hogs
oan get at them at any time.
—Milk quickly, bus gently, and at rega-
lar hours. Cows must be made comfort-
able to do well. Give cows achance to ex-
ercise in the open air when weather is com-
fortable. In order to be a prolific yielder
of milk the cow must be a hearty eater,
with digestive powers. In milkiog,
ges all the milk each time, but do not keep
on stripping after you have got it.
—Earthworms perform excellent service
in enriching the soil. According to Dar-
win, on meadow land earth worms eject
sufficient digested material to greasl
the oharaoteristios of the soil,
change .
amounting to as much as 18'tons per acre
in some cases, and containing over one-
third of 1 per cent. of ni . They also

water, air and warmth.
—Prof. W. 8. Massey says sawdust from
resinous pine Qpekys slowly in the soil, and
will sour the when decayed. Even
when used for bedding in stables, the man-
ure is not worth balf as much as that with
ordinary bedding. Look about the remains

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Wishing snd willing. Our worst defeats arise
from confounding these two things, — Henrik
Tsben.
After the use for long years of a pomp
kin centrepiece on the table on Thauks-
giving day many a hostess will heave a
sigh of relief to have something suggested
which is quite as characteristic in color as
the pumpkin, and far more artistic. Ths
is a great, beautiful bunch of yellow chrys-
anthemums set off aud relieved by large
of dead, brown oak leaves. Toe
combination is really lovely, and most
suitable to autumn, and tos pretty dinuer-
table. If the first course is grapefruit,
this can be ar before the family and
ests sit down, and the yellow will still
urther emphasize that of the flowers. Tne
brown oan be made wore couspicaous by
using marrons glaces in tall compotes or in
small flat dishes, or chocolate honhons can
be put here and there. Candles may have
yellow chrysanthemum shades, also, with
flofly edges ; small paper flowers oan be
boaght and sewed firmly ov plain founda-
tions, or they cau be pu ready for
use. This is a menu easily prepared and
of distict Thankagivivg flavor :
G ruit.
Radishes, sal outs, olives,
Cream of oyster soup.
Individual chicken pies.
Roast turkey. cranberry sauoe, in moulds;
mashed sweet-potatoes ; cauliflower
au gratin.
Celery mayonnaise, with lettuce hearts,
Pampkio ices.
Crackers and cheese. Coflee.
It oneis solucky as to have the tall,
beautiful glasses made especially for grape-
fruit, the pulp of the fruit is removed in
spoonfuls and put into the small inside
oups, and the oracked ice fills the space be-
tween them and the outer of the
glass. A listle sugar is added to the fruit,
and a taste of rum, or one or $wo mara-
sohino cherries. Without the glasses the
fruit is well chilled and put iz spoonfuls
into the emptied shells,and these are served
on small plates with orange-spoons by each
one, and the same flavoring and sweet-
ening used as before. The soup is one of
the staple dishes for the day,
a rather different manner from the old-
fashioned sort. The oysters are first washed
aod dried, aod with a pale of scissors the
bard muscalar end is quite cut off without
breaking ivto the halt ; the milk is
put on the fire with these hard bits and the
oyster juice, and allowed to grow very hot,
but never to boil ; then it is slightly thick-
ened with a tablespoontul each of melted
butter and flour and strained carefully,
and seasoned with salt and r. After
this, she round, soft ende the oysters
are put in, the milk heated again to the
hoiling-point, and the soup at once taken
up and served. A delicious flavor is given
by the addition of just a dash of sherry.
In place of fish a pretty course may come
next, in the shape of listle individual
chicken pies, baked in round tine aud with
their edges flated ; a bit of parsley stands
up in each one. Instead of this course
there may be fish, it that is preferred,
something like creamed halibut or scallops,
served in small dishes.
The turkey can have a bread stuffing
mixed with a pint of oysters ; to make it,
crumble soft hread quite five and add salt
and pepper and one slice of onion, minced.
Pas a large tablespoontful of butter inte a
hot pan and when it browns putin the
crambs and toss and stir shem till they are
orisp and hrown also. Then add the drain-
ed oysters aud let them barely plump, as
they will cook again in the surkey. Stuff
the bird and roast it upside down in a deep
, basting it frequently, so that the
cA will run down into the breast and
make that delicious. In place of the oys-
ters, hoiled and led cbestnuts oan be
used in the staffing by chopping them
coarsely and adding them to the crumbs
in the pan, browning the two together.
Boil the sweet-potatoes, mash and season
them, and add a small half cup of cream or
rich milk ; pat thew through the press and
heap lightly in a hot covered dish.
or the cranberry sauce, wash the ber-
ries and put them over to cook in barely
enough water to float them ; simmer till
all are one mass of pulp, then measure au
equal amount of sugar aud boil hard for
one minute ; remove from the fire, put
through a press, and pour into one mould
or into individual moulds.
The cauliflower way be boiled a day in
advance for the dinner ; then an hour be-
fore it may be picked up into tlowerettes
and put into a baking-dish with thick
white sauce between its layers. Make this
with a large tabi ful of butter and
two of flour, with ball a cup of milk only,
so that it shall be quite stiff. Pat fine
sifsed orumbs all over the top, and bits of
buster, and bake brown.
The salad is very uice, and one quite
new. To wake it, getsome nice celery
and cut it up into inch lengths and split
these till they are in bits like knitting-
needles. Wipe them dry and put them on
ice to grow .
very stiff and drop in olive-oil till you
have a cup of mayonnaise, thinning with
lemon juice when it grows too thick to
heat ; season with salt and cayenne. Dis-
solve a tablespoonful of gelatine in a little
cold water and pat it over the steam of the
teakettle till it is smooth avd shin ; cool
this, beat into the mayonnaise, and add
the celery ; put all into a smooth, round
mould, like a pail, and put it away over
night. The vext day turn it out on a flat
dish and surround it with white lettuce
leaves. Serve thin orackers with it and
olives. Or, in place of thie salad, crush
two oream cheeses, mix with salt, cayenue,
and a little cream, and add a cup of black
olives chopped fine, and half a cup of
ped waloass ; press this into a small mon
and serve in little slices on lettuce with

five inches wide and long enough to fit

edge of the aber as it is, and the rest

1 had brought from the oven not half

“well, what did you do?’ asked the
baker's sympathetic friend.
“Do? 1 gave her three of the fresh
