TUE FARM AND FIRESIDE. • Corns on Horse's Feet, A correspondent writing from Racine, Wisconsin, says : "I am a blacksmith, doing a general ialsiness in the horse shoeing and . jobbing line, and being considered a fair hand with bad feet, I have naturally a that many bad feet to contend with, and one in particular deserves mentioning. The case to which I refer is that of a Morgan mare,- eighteen years old, owned 12y S. Jones, a wealthy farmer of this co. This mare hats ball Lorna cm h Itrr the laSt twelve years, She kept getting Worse until she was considered almost hopeless. Aly attention was called to her about the middle of February, 1868. • On examining the feet I found them to be ve ry dry and hard, resembling those of a foundered horse, with a deep seated corn is each heel of the tore feet. I did' not adopt the old plan of digging them with a penknife, then pouring in aqua fortis or spirits of salts, for I think that would be adding fuel to the lire, and in my opinion the worst thing that can be done to a horse's foot. I commenced with a vigorous paring,in fact I pared them all I conld without cat ting through to the quick. I then fitted the shoes altogether upon the concave style, and in such a manner tha,t they did hot bear on or crowd the affected part of the foot, and in six or seven shoeings the last vestige of corns had entirely disap peared, and she is now ante to trot her Wile in four minutes. If a man has a horse with a bad corn in the foot, I find it an excellent plan to thin the heel of the shoe down ou the inside, almost as thin as a knife blade; thenveld a steel cork cross ways of the shoe, say two inches from tho heel. BY this means you throw the bearing completely off the corn, and the corn soon grows complete ly out with the foot. Only keep the shoes from bearing on the corns, and shoe regularly at not too long intervals, and the corn mud get well—Michigan Farmer. ...- Storing Celery for Winter. If frost or water reaches the tops, the leaves and stalks will decay. Select a dry day, when the earth is not wet, and nialce a ridge of the soil, as high us your celery stalks arelong, say eighteen inches or two feet in height, pointed at top. Now dig up your celery, taking care not to snake , the dirt from the roots, and place the heads of the celery on both sides of ridge, and cover the stalks and roots with dry earth. Now place another layer of celery, then a layer of, earth, and so con tinue until it is buried. Cover the whole *lfh earth to the depth of eighteen inch es or two feet. Before the snow falls deep place hemlock boughs, straw or leaves thickly over the whole— the former being the most frost proof. Three tiers deep is enough for one ridge. Celery will keep in this manner fresh and clean. , Some prefer to sever the stalks with Stied leaves• before the earth is put on, thinking thereby . ,they prevent rusting." * Kitchen Economy. It was the remark of a curious observer that a French family would live and fare Well on the waste .of English and Ameri can kitchens. In France cooking is re duced to an art, and in that art 'a try he found a wholesome practical illustration or economy. It is owing to this that a correspondent writes : I have, for sixteen cents, enjoyeda com- ' plete dinner after the French style, inclu ding a rich • maccaroni soup and wine, a lateaof meats, vegetables, dessert and . treat The French government not only- fos ters economy—it provinces for it, teaches I it, developes it.. An example of the-oper ations of thasystem pursued is to befound in the tiroperative kitchen of Grenoble, • the prineirtal city of the Department of Isere. The kitchen furnishes repasts for sixteen cents to working men and women, to buaness agents, architects, artists, cc -1 elesiseties i professors, retired military of ficcra proprietor's in easy circumstances and ttudentis. Large numbers of house- ' keepr, hot wishing to come to the re fec Lea of the society, send their checki and alters for the delicious steaming dis sof this grad, family kitchen, and d par 6of them in their own apartments, in ,' of performing themselves the ( 1 r gory o f small scale cooking.. The p eof a full quart of soup, unstinted ; ' m ti re, is two cents. One •t•ail have it of read, of maecaroni, of vermicelli, of ' le mes, at his choice. They are all rieh ly seasoned with butter of the best quali ty, and the priciis iavaluable. A dish of twat, whether of beef, seal, pork or fish, is four cents ; a (mart of wine, pure and lonrhelit in the §ociety's spacious cel larS, pests . eight cents ; bread is three centss pound: The average wholesale *46 for Beef is eleven cents pet pound ; • veil the same; maecanmi 461 r. the 2001bl' teams 36 fry wheat 45 fr.; rice 35 fr.; salt 8 fr.; potatoes 6 fr.

Nor sell my clothes to peddlers for man- tel ornaments. • She must not, by coaxing and wheed ling, expect me to take her to Long Branch, Saratoga or Newport, and to ap propriate two or three thousand dollars for a fitout.
