FARM NOTES. —Kicking cows and those which jump fences shonld be sold to the butcher. — Warm muston tallow will beal wounds on stock more quickly than tarpentine. —Provide shade, loose soil, fresh water and free range and you have ahons dove your share soward the poultry flock. —The best of hay should be fed to heil- ers when they are no longer fed on skim milk. They should also have ground grain as a ration. —The largess cucamber ever raised in Berks county, Pa, is the produos of the farm of Will Hoflman, near Birdshoro, last year. It is 43 inches loug and its greatest diameter is 3} inches. —Tbe milk of the Jersey cow in very | J rich and the cream rises more readily than from the milk of most other breeds. For this reasou some milkmen do not like Jersey milk for long-distance shipping. —It it is wrong for a man to have a dis- eased cow in his herd, why should it not be considered just as mnoh #0 to let a tree covered with inseot pests, or affeoted with some bad disease, stay in the orchard ? —Never feed stingily the stock you are fastening for market. Find oot those feeds which are the best for fattening and give them plentifally. Always see that the animals have an ebundance of fresh, clean water. —Put everything down in writing when you lease a farm. Memory can not be relied on. It is remarkable how different men will remember different things. If it ie all down in hlack aod white, there can be no mistake. —There was a belief common for many generations that boys, like wheat, muss be well thrashed to get the best ons of them. The rod is no longer plied in the school or family, and yet there is after all a pretty fair crop of boys. —When it is convenient to apply heat to frozen pipes to thaw them, spread a oloth thickly with unslaked lime, fasten it around the frozen pipe and throw water on it. The heat produced as the lime slakes is great enough to thaw the ice. —Now that the leaves are off and we bave time, we should not fail to hant out and destroy all insect eggs and eocoons on bark or limhs. Also, all ‘‘mammied’’ fraits found on trees should be taken off and burned, —they'll spread fuogoas tron- bles next reason if allowed to remain. — Beware of field mice and rabbits, —es- pecially if you have young trees. The best safeguard agaiust damage from the sharp teeth of these pete; is to wrap the tree trunks with strips of wood veneer or with laths or building paper. Wood veneer may be purchased of basket or package factories. —Have things gone wrong with you this gust year ? Now don’t get discouraged and magine you are going to wind up at the poorhonse. The new year is bere, good things may be coming around the corner your way. Brace up ; bave nerve. Never forges that many a great undertaking bas been wrought into success after a promise of failures. —-It is tough on the wagon todrive it over the rough, frozen roads these days. lly where the ruts are deep itis hard on felloea and other parts. Is isa good plan to have a second-best wagon for these times, aod so save the good one. Bat this utility wagon should always bea good salid one, that will not break down on the way to town. —There is perhaps nothing marketed as poorly as poultry. If alive thev are shipped in little crowded coops as thick as they can be squeezed in. If dressed —well, from what can he observed on market days, one’s appetite for chicken could not be enhanced. There is no reason why dressed fowls cannot he put on the market in more inviting condition. —Hall a dozen or so colonies of bees in well arranged hives is sufficient to begin the bee business. Iv fact, they are about what the average farmer should keep. fore embarking in the business, however, it is advisahle to become posted as much as ble. This can be done by studying and papers on bee oulture and by visitiog some apiary conducted by a man who knows the business. —Don’s let the boys read the yellow sap- plementa of the Sanday papers, nor the silly, crude and valgar ec called ‘‘comics’’ of the daily papers. Is must be positively barmlal thus to steep the minds of the im- matanre and uneducated with soch vapid, stdpid and demoralizing staff. We are glad to note that some of the metropolitan dailies have ceased to affront the self respect and good taste of their readers, notably the Boston Herald. —According to the last census, there are 233 598 005 chickens of laying age in the United States. These are valued at $70,- 000,000, and the eggs they lay would, if divided, allow 203 eggs annually to every rson—man, woman and cbild— in the nited States. The value of all the fowls, $98,800 000, would entitle every person in the country to $1.12 if they were sold and the proceeds divided. All the weighs of the animal products exported, the pork, beef, tallow, ham, bacon acd sausage, weigh 846,860 tons, while the weight of egye laid yearly tips the scales at 970,363 tons. —In feeding sheep it is always advisable not to feed too much corn. Clover bay and corn in equal weights should be given dar- ing the fattening period. Except for fatten- ing purposes, it is better not to feed sheep on corn atall. Corn is said to contain about 60 per cent of starch and 6 per cent of cil, both being very digestible. Oil makes fat and the starch produces heat and also fat. On occount of its heat-produncing wer it is inadvisable to fred corn. Peruse of there not being any great gquan- tity of protein incorn itis n 0 feed something else with its either clover or alfalfa. —Various paints and washes bave been recommended to prevent attacks of mise and rubbita ip orchards, says a recent gov- ernment hallesin. The majority of these are withoas meri3, and some of them are liable to kill young trees. Some of the washes require renewal after every hard rain. In experiments with a wash of whale-oil soap, crude carbolic acid and water, for apple tress, it was found that in about forty-eight bours the carbolic acid had so far evaporated that mice renewed their work wn the bark. Blood and grease, said to give immunity from rahbit attacks, would invite the attacks of field mice. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. character is the important tsctor in life.—G.

The very fact thas there i= no pressing need back of your work, that yoo can go at it leisarely, drop it as your couvenience and pick it ap again at your pleasure, will add to your enjoyment of your winter-summer sewing. There are the shirt waists. You can tell pew how many von will need and how they should be made. There is no mooted question of long or short sleeves to hold your work in abeyance until Madame La Mode makes up her mind what she is going to wear next summer. She bas deolared emphatically in favor of the long sleeve ; and where the short sleeve is used as all in shirt waists is will be in a three-quarter length and on the distinctly warm-weather waist. Nothing is more comfortable than the free forearms for any kind of athletics or house work, and for those two usages I think the short sleeve will never quite die out. But io the really smart, well-tailored shirt waiste you will rarely see anything but the long sleeve, and the plaiver the better. There is an excellent sleeve that is being pat in the best waists just now—a 8016 of leg-o’-mutton shirt waiss sleeve thas fits in to the cuff withoat any fulness at all. I've seen it a number of times with a rather severe type of waist—six tucks on each shoulder in front and a two-piece yoke in back. Ouce I saw it in white linen with the edges of the ocenter-frous pleat hound with pink linen, and juss inside the binding narrow rows of feather-stitching dove in the same color. Really, it was awfully effective.—The February Delinea- tor. Every woman can possess a supple, agile body wonder perfect control. The first essential is to learn to stand properly, with the head erect and the shoulders flat, not pressed backward. To acquire this, balance an ohjeot on the head, in imitation of the ut woman, and stand against a solid wall, the heels, trunk and back of the bead tounohiug is. When you feel that you are “‘in position,” step forward, retaining the object (it may be anytbing—a small pillow or a weight) up- on the head. Now raise the bheeleslowly, pressing the floor with the toes; repeat this ten simes. Now hold the arms flat against the sides, bend she knees and lower the body toward the heels without actaally touching them; raise the body slowly, keepiog the back straight aud npright (otherwise the object will fall off your head), and not allowing She hands to toach the floor. Repeat ten times, Next, fill the Inngs fall of fresh air; hold it, and with the body and head erecs, rave one arm forcibly above the head while the other is held close to the side ; lower the raised arm, aod, while so doing, raise the other. Continue vigorously this alternate movement (aiding yoorsell in the erect posture with the object upon the head) until the air in the lungs must he expelled. Slowly refill the longs and repeat. This exercise bas also a particularly stimalating Be- | action upon the liver.—The February Delineat or. This is decidedly a season of trimmings, and the smart little vests thet are worn with anything from a shirt waist suit to an elaborate costume are almost a necessity. The hand-embroidered ones and those made of rich brocades and silks are far beyond the parses of many of us, and yeta vest we must have, They come in all shapes and sizes, from those that are tight fisting to the littie separate front pieces that may be tacked in any coat, As patterns may be obtained for almost any shape, the making up of the embroider- ed material ia a simple matter. Linen huck, in a heavy weave, is used for the foundation, and either beavy rope silk or mercerized cotton may be used for the stitchery. The work is done by runniog the em. broidery cotton under the threads provided in the huok to form a pattern. The heavier the embroidery cotton or silk, the more ef- fective is the stitch, especially if a more or less all-over pattern ia used. —The February Delineator. Oyster Cocktail. —One pint of small oys- ters drained from their liquor, two tabhle- spovatuls ot vinegar, three tablespoonfuls lemon juice, two tabl fuls Wor- cestershire sauce, one tablespoonfnl of Lorseradieh, one abiepovtial tomato eat sup, one teaspoonfa salt, two d of tobasco and a few grains of oe Serve ice cold in small glasses as a first course.

The “Greville Memoirs” tells this story of King William IV. of England and the Duke of Cumberland, his brother: “During dinner loud voices were heard, which soon became more vehement. Both brothers had drunk more than usual, and the duke had lost his temper and his head. Then for the first time King William sus- pected the idea which from that time was never out of Duke Ernest's mind— that he ought to be the next king of England should no male children sur- vive his brother, Willlam IV. The duke, rising, said: ‘Call in the suit. I am proposing a toast. The king's health; God save the king.’ The suit came in and drank it. Then the duke said, ‘May 1 also, sir, propose the next toast?” ‘Name it, your grace,’ replied the king. ‘The king's heir,’ proudly sald the duke, ‘and God bless him! “A dead silence followed. Then the king, collecting all his energies and wits, stood up and called out, ‘The king's heir; God bless her!” Then, throwing the glass over his shoulder, he turned to his brother and exclaimed, ‘My crown came with a lass, and my crown will go to a lass!" Every one noticed that the duke did not drink the toast. He left the room abruptly.” A Kind Hearted Waiter. A surprising experience was that ot a lady who received a bit of advice on table etiquette. She is sufficiently free from vanity to tell the story herself. She says: I know that I am not a person of impressive appearance. I am inclined to be short and stout and to dress plainly. Still, I had hoped that I had an air of acquaintance with polite so- clety. But now 1 shall be more mod- est than ever In my idea of the impres- sion I make upon strangers. At my first meal at the hotel where I passed last summer I was pleased with the face of my waiter. It was radiant with kindliness and good na- ture. I began my dinner with soup and fish. As the walter set them in front of me he glanced at the persons of fashionable appearance who were my neighbors at table. His kind heart was snddenly struck with the fear that I might make an unfortunate impres- sion on them. He bent down and whispered in my ear: “Eat your soup first.” Grooming. Anciently man thought more highly of his horse than of his womenkind. But woman, as it chanced, was crafty. “Why does he esteem his horse be yond his wife?” she asked herself and resolutely faced the task of finding out. Her first answer was: “The horse will carry an heavier load.” Her next: “The horse doesn't talk back at him.” But neither of these, somehow, im- pressed her as being correct. “Most likely,” she declared at length, “it's in the grooming. Well, I'll just be well groomed myself and see.” It was a lucky guess, and from that time forward woman's position rose relatively until in our day the horse has scarcely a look in even at the horse show.—Puck. Her Darling's Desire. “My darling.” said a fond mother, who believed in appealing to children's tender feelings Instead of punishing them, “if you are so naughty you will grieve mamma so that she will get ill and have to lie in bed in a dark room and take nasty medicine, and then she may die and have to be taken away out to the cemetery and be buried, and The child had become more solemn, but an angelic smile overspread his face at his mother's last words, and, throwing his arms about her neck, he exclaimed: “Oh, mamma, and may I sit beside the coachman ?”"—London Queen. The Age of Man. It is generally admitted by scientists that men lived on the earth contempo- raneously with the big nosed rhinoc- eros, which became extinct about the beginning of the glacial period. That period, so high an authority as the late John Fiske assures us, probably began not less than 240,000 years ago and came to an end 80,000 years ago. How long man existed on the earth prior to the glacial period we have no means of knowing.—New York American. Puzzled. Mrs. Gaswell—Who is that man who looked at you as if he knew you? Mrs. Highsome—He is a man who has done some professional work for me once or twice. He's a chiropodist. Mrs. Gaswell—-Chiropodist? Oh, yes; I've heard of them. They don’t believe in foreordination, do they ?—Chicago Trib- une. To What Base Uses, Ete. One of our State street brokers re- ceived a note from a customer bear icg the cryptic message, “Richard III, act 1, line 138." Turning to the pas. sage he read, “Now, by St. Paul!” and next moment he had given the order.— Boston Transcript. Useless Prayers. An earnest young preacher in a re- mote country village concluded a long A Martyr to the Fox. A fox can climb almost as well as a cat and will often be found lying in trees and on the top of ivy covered walls. Hich walls covered with ivy often surround private residences in hunting districts. One of these do- main walls caused the tragic death of a hound in the south of Ireland a few years ago. There was a belt of trees with thickish undergrowth close up to the wall, and the hounds were running a tired fox hard through this belt. Suddenly the cry ceased; there were the unmistakable growling and worry- ing which proclaim a kill. The mas- ter jumped off his horse and pushed his way through the undergrowth. On getting to the pack, instead of finding a dead fox he saw to his horror one of the best hounds torn to pieces. It was easy to understand what had hap- pened. The fox had got over the wall by the help of some ivy, and the hound had tried to jump over after him, but, falling back among the others, had been killed before they realized their mistake.—London Standard. The End of the Chase. Two ladies, friends of the superin- tendent, were visiting a hospital for the insane. During the noon meal the superintendent remarked that the door of the violent ward was being repaired and that the guards would have to be unusually watchful until it was fin- ished. After dinner the ladies went for a stroll down the beautiful lane leading up to the main building. Sud- denly they heard footsteps as of some one running behind them and were horrified on looking around to see a di- sheveled, wild eyed man pursuing them. One of the women quietly stepped to the side of the road. The other, screaming at the top of her voice, ran down the road with the ma- niac close upon her heels. At Iazt spent with running and gasping with fright, crouching in anticipation of the blow which she was expecting, she waited her fate. The man, panting and grinning, tapped her lightly on the shoulder and said: “Tag! You're it.”—Cleveland Leader. What is a — lave of books ?
