A HARDENED WRETCH This is a bad year fot big • feet and many are the de;eices'in French heels and 'blind soles for making sixes broad look like threes narrow. Numerous, too, are the coquetries by means of which shape 7 ly feet are _ displayed with propriety. it is sentimental custom for young men to write their names; and something soft, On the soles of the girls' shoes. You come across, : ,couples in the , angles of hall ways, lin the corners of verandas,' and on the beach, - filling out these novel 'auto graph albums. The girl grasps some thing—sometimes the young man's shoul der—to steady herself, and coyly holds ~her foot bottom upward, while he squats and 'tickles her sole With the point of the -pencil. This is not only pleasing to the pair, but makes great sport for the speo tatorS. The writing wears off in . ening's dancing, and the shoe. is then ready for the next fellow. The custom is encouraged by girls-with little feet. One I who was not so fortunate stood in a How . land llouse, New York, corridor, graee faily posed against the wall, with the spacioiti• bottom of her slitie spread out before an 'enamored swain who had his pencil thong,htifflly suspended. Her hard ened brother came along. 'Put on the Declaration of Independence," he said ; " there's room for it, with all the signa tures.'' The girl took her foot away im mediatel2.-, because she wanted to stamp with it.

A sheep to be well and hearty Mnst - net be.balf starved at any pe riod of#s growth. It must be per sonally'comfortable to grow wool every day of lift:. Three hundred . and sixty-five days make a year. If from any cauee a sheep is uncomfort able a single-day he will grow wool only 864 days in a year. If for four months at a tithe from - ill health or lack ,of food dr . water it'procluces wool only eight months in a year, there is aloes of one-third of the prof!, its he would have given his owner. A sheep out of. condition is sub jected to ailments that in good con dition wou'd not have affected him. , Sheep fat in the fall will go through winter and the ordeal of lambing with safety and success.. If in thin, weak condition, the relaxing,d,of the system in spring and the extra de mands on the system of the ewe . at liinbing time, bring a series of dis eases quite disgusting to flockmaster& No animal rewards its -owner - so for liberal feeding and , painstaking care as does the sheep. The idea has so often been expressed that- a sheep can do without food and water, that many have concluded it was true. It may live on food (aud, do well) than any other animal in proportion to its live weight, but -that they live by eating is sure, and the more they eat and the better hygienic treat ment the better results they give in fleece and lamb, and vigorous, long lived usefulness. Many Americans think that the tomato, now in season, originated in this country because it is so freely used here, and that it has become quite recently an article of food. The origin of the vegetable, or fruit, as some claim _that it is,. is not posi tively ascertained, though there is reason to believe that it was found in South America, and that it was cultivated centuries ago in Mexico and! Peru. Several varieties were known in England toward the close of the sixteenth century, and Gerard, the surgeon and botanist, speaks of it, we think, in his "History of Plants," having himself introduced it into the Kingdom as an exotic. Docloens, the Netherland herbalist, mentions the tomato as early as 1538 asp veg etable to be eaten with - pepper, salt, , and oil. It belongs to the night shade family, and was used in cook ing by the Malays more than a cen tury and a half since. It is exten sively raised in Southern Italy, and employed there as an accompaniment to nearly every dish, partidularly to macaroni. But neither there nor anywhere else in Europe is it com monly eaten, as it is here, separately. and in quantities. In England it is sparingly produced, requiring. a hot bed in the Spring, and in consequence high-priced. The Italians formerly called it golden apple, and now call it love apple, as it was once designa ted in this country. The appearance of the tomato on the table has great, ly increased in Europe within a few years ; but in no lan d is it a regular dish—much as it is used for - a'sauce abroad—as in the United States, where it is also pickled, .preserved, and confected. To Cure Foot Rot in Sheep. . The preparation of the foot is just as essential as the remedy, for if every-part of the - disease is notrlaidt, bare the remedy will not effect a cure.; A-solution of blue vitriol as strong , ' as• can be made and as hot as you can bare your hand in, even for a moment, having the liquid three or four inches deep, or cleep enough to cover all the affected parts ; then hold the diseased foot in this liquid for ten- minutes, or long enough to penetrate to all the diseased parts ;! put the sheep on a dry barn floor for, t%enty hours , to give- it a change to take effect. ,In every ease where I have tried 'it it" has - effected. a cure, and I have never given a sheep med icine internally for foot- rot. This ,remedy I call a dead shot when the foot is thoroughly prepared, but a - more expeditious way, and where You hardly have to exterminate the disease, but keep it in. subjection, is this: After preparing the feet as : for the Aitrol cure, take butter of an-. .:timony, pour oil of- vitriol into it 'slowly until the heating and boiling process ceases and apply° with swab. This remedy works quicker, is strong 'er than the vitriol, and it is just as safe, - but its mode of application ren ders it less - sure.—Ohio Farmer. Numbers of good cows die every year , of what is called milk fever, and it is noticed that such cows are gen erally in good condition or fat. - We have never had a case of this disease in our herd, whether i this . exemption is due to management or luck we know not. • It has been noticed that when cows drop their calves in the pasture in summer they almost al -way s do well, their bowels being kept open by succulent food, and they (19 not got chilled by drinking icy wa; ter. We make it a rue to teed a cow a few days before shells expected to come in, with e4iy cut hay and roots.; small potatoegpre excellent. Some object to the disposition which the cow makes of the aftei-birth if left to herself, but we have thought that perhaps nature knows more than the average of cow doctors and we left her alone. If the bow shares with the calf the first milk which is draWn from the udder it will have a laxa tive effect. We do not give Water until the chill has been taken from it, or meal fur thtee'days after calving. Maily cows do Well 'that have ng ex-f tra care, but an :ounce of prevention will always be found to be,w9rth a' pound•of cure. We are indebted to the New England Homestead fori these practical suggestions. I:;1 6 U RI N G The firstf point to be observed is to keels theleather soft and pliable. This can be done only by keeping it well charged with oil mid grease. Water is a destroyer of each of these. But mud and saline moisture from the animal are even more destructive. Mud in Arying absorbs the grease and opens the pores of the leather, making it a ready prey to water, while tee salty character of the prespiration from the animal 'injures the leather, stitching and mounting. It there fore follows that. to preserve a har ness the straps should be washed and oiled at intervals 4equired. To do this e ff ectually the straps shouid be all 'unbuckled and detached,then wash ed with warm soft water and crown soap, and hung by a slow fire, or.in the sun until nearly dry, then coated• with a mixture of ncatsfoot oil and Tomatoes. Mi = tk Fever. 0 Preserving Harness. tallow and, allowed .to remain in D. Irani room for rameial hours, and when perfectly dry rub thoroughly with a woollen rag. The rubbing 'is important, as its in' addition to rd moving the surplus oil and grease, tends to close the po,tes and given fin ish to the leather. In hanging harness care should be taken to allow all the‘ straps to hang their full' length. , -. Light is essential to the care ofleath er, and when the harness closet is ' dark the door shoi4rl be left open at least half the t i me during the day. AU closets should be well ventilated, and when possible be, well lighted. To clean plated mountingi use a übambis'w•ith a little tripoli orrot, ten-atone, but they shouldbe'scoured little as possible. Canning Fruits. Every-housekeeper who knows in. herself how best to can fruits, should read the following extract from an exchange, and see if the suggestions . and facts recorded will nottald some what t o her obilityo2 future to pre - .: vent any fruit frorka'priiling.- M elt , are - no doubt mitny; who from year to year neve have any -fruit- to i spoii; • but there are also many .Who:have - ill-luck to be on the other side.: It is short, but to the 'point : _ There are in fruits-atid cereats,a three kinds of sugar—:eane sugar, .glucose and frucose;:--all three- nearly - allied, but still each one has its peculiarities of its own, and. yet one7isleasily clantf.:- ed to another.; In the ; growth' and maturity of plants these arecontin unity changing. Cane sugar is easi ly converted into glucose. When it is Used for preserving fruits, if the sugar is boiled with the fruit, a large portion of the„sugar is,. - converted in to glucose, vilich is not so Sweet as the - .6ane suga.„ and 'the more acid aids in converting: the cane sugar into glucose. 'Cane sugar will not produce .alcohol, but glucose and alcohol, is very frequently..ereat ed in preserves,, n which, case lthe idea is preialetit that there was put sugar enough applied," when the fact . is•it was not properly used. If the fruit is fitit boiled, then the Sbgal: bilitlght to a boiling heat, -and the fruit'imt_into the sugar, less of the. saccharine -principle will. be required, and the fruit will be better preserved.
