salt for Pear Tree*.
“Last spring I put a small shovel
ful of the refuse material from the
gait works —which is composed, I
believe, of salt, lime and ash around
3 four year did pear tree. It has a
v thrifty growth and the leaves
are all free from blight or spot, and
jjave a very glossy, healthy look;
gillie others of the same lot, manur
ed) with barnyard manure, have
cr own but little, and the foliage is
spotted and dull. Now, if no ill
effect may be attributed to the barn
vftfd manure, it would seem that
the difference in these trees was
owing to the salt.
The above, from R. Johnson, Jr.,
in the Fruit Recorder is worthy of
attention. We saw the tree spoken
of above and noticed its more thrifty
and healthy appearance. If there are
any mineral manures that will in
crease the growth of pear trees,
without at the same time spreading
t ; ie pear blight, horticulturists
should know \i.—Exchange.
Care of Horses.
All horses must not be fed in the
fame proportions, without regard to
their ages, their constitution and
their work; the impropriety of such
a practice is self evident. Yet It Is
constantly done, and is the basis of
disease of every kind.
NeS'er use bad hay on account of
its cheapness, because there is no
proper nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly in
jurious because it brings on infla*
uiation of the bowels and skin di-
seases.
Chaff is better for old horses than
hay, because they can chew and di-
it better. , y-
Mix chaff with corn or beans', and
do not give the latter alone, because
il makes the horse chew his food
more and digest it better. ,
Hay or grass alone will not sup
port a horse under hard work, be
cause there is not sufficient nutritive
body in either.
When a horse* is worked hard its
food should be mostly oats —it not
worked hard its food should be chief
ly hay—because oats j supply more
nourishment and flesh making ma
terial than any other kind of food ;
Lav not so much.
For a saddle or coach horse, half
a peck of sound oats and eighteen
pounds of good hay are sufficient.
If hay is not good, add a quart or a
a peck more oats. A horse which
works harder may have rather more
of each; one that works little should
have less.
Hack feeding is wasteful. The
letter plan is to feed with chopped
! ay, from a manger, because the
food is not then thrown about, and
is more easily chewed and digested.
Sprinkle the bay with water that
has salt dissolved in it, because it is
pleasing to the animal's taste, and
more easily digested. A teaspoon
ful ot salt in a bucket of water is
?atiicii nt. —London Horst book.
Wool Growing a Success.

" ‘ il,uv huek seems to be that taen
do not relish living away from thick
ly populated settlements and towns,
depriving themselves of society for
the sake of pioney. This objection
can be obviated. In all hew coun
tries there are villages constantly
springing up, near which good
sheep ranges can be bad, where tfre
owner can visit his flocks daily, and
also give his family the benefit of
schools and society. —Facts and

To Relieve Ingrowing Nau.s.—
This is a'painfnl annoyance, and is
treated with advantage in various
ways. The most successful is to
pare down the center of the nail
from root to end. Let it be worked
down qnite thin, so as to relieve the
pressure at the sides, which causes
the soreness. Keep the end of the
nail well pared down in the center,
giving it the concave form, just the
reverse of the natural edge.
A strong alum water is sure death
to bugs of any description. Take
two pounds of pulverized alum, and
dissolve in three quarts of boiling
water, allowing it to remain over the
fire until thoroughly dissolved. Ap
ply while hot with a brash, or, what
is better, use a syringe to force the
liquid in the cracks of the walls and
bedstead. Scatter all the powdered
alum freely in all those places, and
you will soon be rid of these insect
nuisances which fill one with disgust.
Toots and Machines. —Hunt up
every implement that will be want
ed for use on the farm, and see if it
is in good order. If not so, it is a
better time to have it repaired now
than whea the men and teams are
waiting for it. If you have a bench
and tools—and how can you get
along without them ?—you may be
able to do the job yourself, and thus
save time in carrying it away and
bringing it backhand save the money
required to pay the mechanic. ;. Be

many on hand : to repair that there
may be a week of anxious suspense
in waiting for Iherai-
Ironing • Shirt Fronts.— ln a
first-class laundry starch is made in
the usual manner; to a pail of starch
a whole -sperm candle; is-" used.
When the linen is dry, it is dipped
in the cold starch and ironed in the
ordinary way; then it is dampened
with a cloth, and the polishing iron
pressed over it. This is an ordinary
smoothing-iron, ground off so that
the edges arc all rounding. To this
last manipulation the linen is indebt
ed for the peculiar laundry gloss
which all admire sp much, but which
many housekeepers have vainly
striven to leave upon the wristbands
and bosoms of their husband's shirts-
Dry Food for Horses. —The
Spirit of the Tithes says : “We nev
er have believed, and never shall
believe, that chopped hay and corn
meal, saturated with water, is prop
er for a working horse as a general
diet. We firmly believe that the
food of a w orking horse who cannot
be pastured should be good, sound
oats and sweet bay for at least five
times a week. Look at the South,
where the common run of working
horses are fed on corn. What is
found there? Why, the big head,
a terrible and almost incurable com
plaint. We also think that wet
corn meal is the very worst way of
feeding corn to a horse that ever
was. 1 practiced. And the chopped,
wet hay is not half so good as fine,
bright timothy from the mow. We
like to hear the horse grinding up
his good timothy hay like a grist-mill
after he has finished his oats. A
nice mash once in a While is good,
and a very different thing from al
most constant soft diet.
Soft Gingerbread.— One-half
pint of molasses ; one-half pint of
sugar; one-half pint ot milk; two
pints floor; two eggs ; two table
spoonfuls of ginger; a little cloves
or cinnamon; a level teaspoonful of
soda.
Fritters. —One cup sour milk,
one teaspoon soda, one egg, salt to
taste, mix like biscuit, I“t the dough
stand 20 minutes, then roll very thin,
cut, out like crullers, and fry in hot
lard. They must be eaten warm
with syrup. ,
Cork Cake.— T£ree teacups ot su
gar; U teacup of butter; 1 teacup
cream; 5 teacups flour; «4 eggs; a
teaspoontul of soda; 1 nutmeg.
