OVRE FOR ROARtNfl.
A new operation for tho treatment
of roaring has been introduced to tho
public by a prominent English veteri
narian. Tho principle involved is that,
roaring being originally a disease of
the nervous system, the proper treat
ment would be to put tho left recur
rent nerve, which had lost ita function,
on to a aonud motor nerve ; suture it
there, and endeavor to effect thereby
a union, and, if possible, to get motor
power supplied to tho originally para
lysed larynx.
To thiB end, the left recurrent nerve,
having been divided, was sutured to ft
branch of the spinal accessory, and as
the result of the operation, when the
time for exercising the animal arrived
the amount of noise was comparatively
slight, and in a few weeks the defect
in the breathing was so trifling as only
to be detected by an expert. New

DRAV MASHES FOR HORSES.
liran mashes for horses are the very
poetry of physio and feed combined.
They are cooling, comforting and
slightly laxative, and never do harm,
even though they do little or no good.
Who shall say that bran mashes do
no good? Who shall say that they are
not suitable to the horse when he eats
so greedily? If a horse will not eat a
bran mash, whether ill or well, then
there is something wrong with the
bran it is mouldy, mice eaten or
something of that Bort. Oiven good
brau no horse will refuse it, unless his
case is exceedingly bad. Bran mashes
are useful to form a vehicle for med
icines, but the greatest care should be
taken not to give the horse anything
nasty in the brau mash, in such a man
ner as to affect the whole mash, or the
chances are that the animal will retain
a recollection, however dim, that will
enable him to associate an unpleasant
taste with the appearance of the mash.

HOW TO RAISE FINE CARNATIOS8.
Many amateurs complain of diffi
culty in flowering the carnation well
iu the hviug-rooin. I am confident
that tlie chief cause of trouble is too
warm and dry an atmosphere. Shower
the plants all over at least once a day,
keep water evaporating from stove or
register all the time, let in a liberal
amount of fresh air, and you cau grow
line carnations in the house; and a
really good flower is worth a good
deal of care, because of its beauty, its
delightful fragrance, and its lasting
qualities. Give a somewhat heavy
soil, with not enough sand to make it
very friable. Drain the pots well. Do
not use largo ones. Six and seven
inch pots are quite large enough for
plants of ordinary size. Iu potting,
place the soil firmly about the roots.
Do not over-water, and do not kecji
iu too warm a room. The best place
for them is in a room off one in which
there is a lire. If the temperature
fulls to fifty degrees at night, no harm
is done. Aim to keep them free from
frost. If yon succeed in doing this
you ought to be rewarded by having
gome tine flowers. Showering is oi
great importance, as it keeps tho red
spider down. Demorest.
CALVES IN WINTER.
Give a calf a proper start the first
year, it poorly fed and housed no af
ter care will ever make up the loso
from the unthrifty habits of boJy and
poor digestion which wrong treatment
at that stage is sure to bring on. The
housing should be good and warm,
without being stuffy and ill ventilated,
and above all things chinks and drafts
are to be avoided. A large stall in
which about ten can move around free
ly is best and most convenient every
wav.
The best fodder on the farm is none
to good for them. A handful of outs
or chop at present prices will add to
the future profit of the calf. Salt
should be provided in some form and
water as often as they care to drink.
To drive calves a quarter of a mile on
a cold day to a water hole will bring
certain harm and they will go faster
back than forward. The shed or house
in which they are kept should face the
south and have plenty of light, for
sunshine is as essential to animal as to
plant life.
If the calves are of equal size they
should be sorted into different lots,
aud if any show sigiiB of unthriftiuess.
they should be separated aud have ex
tra care, aud if possible a bit of oil
cake. Oil cake is both food and med
icine, and if at all within reach every
farmer should lay in a ton every full.
If an acre of flax is grown at home
and a little of it snaked in hot water

It will save time in feeding and car
ing fur the horses during the winter if
Ut cessary conveniences are provided.
The horses i'u be groomed much more
easily, while they will enjoy their
night's rest much better, if they can
be carefully cleaned when they ure
first brought into the stables. To do
this iu the best Uiuuucr good foot tubs
for wubhing the feet aud legs ale Iiec
tbsury. A supply of old ras that are
good fur nothing else should alto be
on hand, and when the horses come in
at night their feet and legs can bo
carefully washed and dried. If this
work is done while the dirt is soft, it
mill bo much easier than if delayed
until the next morning when it will
have become dry and hard. A good
supply of curry comba and brushes
with which to rleanae the hair and
skin are essential. A largo quantity of
waste matter is thrown ofl through tho
pores of tho skin and if these are al
lowed to becomo closed tip, tho health
of the animal is affected.
Good bedding, properly supplied,
adds much to the comfort of the
horses and at the same time aids iu
keeping them clean. So it ia an im
portant item to have all of the bedding
dry. It will be the best to lay a sup
ply and store it under shelter so as to
have it on hand when needod. Good
mangers for feeding hay, and tight.
convenient boxes for feeding grain
will lessen the waste.
Closets should be arranged in which
to hang harness as having it behind
the horse in the stables is, to aay the
least, very injurious. In arranging
their closets care should always be
taken to have thom near by in order
to save time. As the feeding must be
done two or threo times daily, and as
on many larms the Horses are liar
nessed once or twice every day, con
venience in arranging is an importaut
item. Every horse should have its
place, with a halter and a convenient
place to tie to. Makingthe horses com
fortable will lessen materially the
quantity of feed necessary to keep
them in good condition. St. Louis

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Kushes are degraded lilies.
Soapsuds are excellent manure.
St unted animals never fully recover.
Starving the animals is starving the
land.
Corn can bo fed cattle without
shucking.
A coat of manure is one of the best
mulches for anything of a tender char
acter. If a frnit tree is of full size for bear
ing and does not do so it should be
root-prnued.
Care in all the details is required in
handling stock in order to make a
profit on them.
Clear up all the trash in the garden
and burn it if you would keep free
from cut worms.
Hogs which are being fattened
should not be overfed or allowed to
get sour stomachs.
All bearing apple orchards should
bo given a broadcast mulching with
barnyard manure.
In the fall it is always best to unite
all weak colonies and get all as stroug
as possible for winter.
Generally at this time empty combs
and section boxes should be removed
and preparations be made for winter
ing. Black bees may be changed to Ital
ians by removing the black queen and
introducing an Italian queen in her
place.
At the close of the honey season
every colony should be inspected to
see if it is supplied with a laying
queen.
It is well to remember that the flavor
of the butter depends largely on the
sweetness and the flavor of the food
given the cow.
Tainted milk does not always have a
bad odor. It is in this respect like
sewer gas. The more imperceptible it
is the more deadly.
An experimental shipment of oaten
hay oats cut when rather green and
uuthreshed has recently been made
from Australia to England.
If your animals once run down it
will cost much trouble to get them
thrifty again, aud it will also cost
double to make up the lost gain.
Parent stocks that have swarmed
must depend upon young aueens
alone for their existence. If anything
nnppens to them they cannot raise an
other. When you see a nest of caterpillars
destroy them. That is the time, aud
that is what you are there for. Wait
ing for some special time does not
count.
With the present demand for lean
meat, instead of a carcass loaded with
fat, it is comparatively easy to keep
pigs in condition to market at any
time. A little grain with the grass will
do it.
A mm who takes pains to have his
fruit of uniform quality throughout
gets more for his wares than he who
mixes the different grades and sells
them at as high a price as he can get
for them.
Hardy Mountaineers.
There is in Denver a peculiar class
of men. They are essentially men of
the mountains. They may have their
weaknesses, but cowardice is never one
of them. They are men with a pecu
liar development of certain faculties.
They handle money as a farmer handles
seedcoru only iih a means of produc
ing more. They are always spend
thrifts. Miners do not live a mile
uboo sea-level, where the ether in
toxicates, uud a hysteria of hope dis
turbs the emotions of even the best
poised. Physically, these men of the
mountains are remarkable. Their
cuests average lour mches more in
breadth than those of the meu of the
East. They do not become giddy.
They can climb anywhere. They can
walk all day. They can sleep any
where and they can eat anything, but

cabin frequently knows fluer viands

HOW TO WASH Ft-ANNETA
Flannels should always be washed
1y themselves in a suds prepared for
them ; on no aecount be rubbed on
tho board, unless very dirty. Tfco
suds should bo pleasantly warm to tho
hands, not too hot, and no hot or
cold water be added while tho flannels
are in the tub. They should be rinsed
in clean water of the same tempera
ture as tho warliing suds, and as many
waters used as may bo necessary to
take all the soap out, as tho flanucls
will never bo soft with tho soap left
in them. They should never bo blued.
They should be pulled in shape before
hanging, undershirts being hung from
tho shoulders. They should never bo
hung out of doors in freezing weather,
but quickly dried before the fire, or,
better, over tho register, and pressed
as soon as dry enough. New York

tOtNfl WITHOUT EGOS.
A recent newspaper articlo called at
tention to an excellent recipe for mak
ing icing without eggs. It is a con
venient thing to know at this time of
tho year when wo are eutering upon
the days of scarce, and expensive egga.
Tho recipe iu question directs the stir
ring of confectionary sugar not
merely pulverized into orango juice.
A still better way of making eggless
icing ia the following, which has been
in use in some households for a long
time, and has entirely superseded the
usual method : Put over a bright fire
a cup of granulated sugar to a quarter
cup of water. Shake togother first,
but. do not stir once aftvr they have
been set on the stove. When it drops
into a soft ball iu water take oflf and
set on tho ice or in a dish of cold
water. When it has partially cooled
ln.;iii to stir with a fork. It will be
come a creamy pliable mass, if all is
well, that after flavoring is added cau
be spread at onco on tho cake. If it
should harden too much, or be at all
rough, add more water aud cook it
over. The final result is perfection
for icing or for hard pudding sauce.

ARRANGING ClT FLOWERS.
With very few exceptions, every
flower looks best when arranged with
tho foliage Dame Nature bestows upon
it. Flowers shonld not be crowded.
Euch one should havo a fair chance,
therefore do not use a dozen flowers
when six would look far better. Buds
and foliage are as important in flower
arrangement s as the flowers themselves.
Dame Nature always arranges her
flowers in this manner, and we cannot
do better than to copy her as nearly
as we can.
Diflerent flowers need different
surroundings. Tall flowers like
gladiolus, lilies, dahlias, chrysautho
miims, need large, tall vases, while
sweet peas, nasturtiums, pansies aud
other short-stemmed flowers need low
vases, bowls or baskets. In whatever
we arrange our flowers, let it be sec
ondary to the flowers themselves. It
should not be highly colored, so as to
"kill" the coloring of the flowers, or
so elaborate as to draw attention from
them.
We are not compelled, as in former
yoars, to put our flowers in the regu
lation vase, says Good Housekeeping,
or use a glass preserve dish. Thero
are many beautiful receptacles for
flowers, American cut glass, cut into
innumerable facets, reflecting myriad
rainbows of colors; in bowls, baskets,
oud dishes of various forms. There
are bowls and jugs of crystalline white,
amber color, delicate yellow, turquoise
blue, apple green and a thousand und
one conceits of various kinds.
Cut flowers should be taken from the
vases each morning and a bit of tbo
stems cut oil', all decaying leaves aud
flowers taken ont, and replaced in
fresh water. Soft water is better than
bard ; if the latter is used, a few drops,
of ammonia piay be added. Thecoolcr
the flowers are kept the longer they
will last. Iu the winter, when flowers
are scarce, it is a good plan to take
cut flowers from the vases at night
and place them in a washbowl, keep
ing the flowers above water. Put them
in the cellar, or a cool room where
they will not chill. They will freshen
up and keep much longer than if left
all night in a hot room. Never leave
flowers at night in a sick room. It iH
hurtful for the sick person and the
flowers. Farm, Field and Fireside.

Tho system of trading at all (he
posts of tho Hudson Hay Company is
entirely ono of barter. The standard
of value throughout all tho territories
of the company is still an for een
tiirioa past the skin of the beaver, by
which tho prico of all other furs is
regulated. Any servieo rendered by
tho Indian is paid for in skins, the
beaver skill being tho unit of compu
tation. To explain this system, let it
bo assumed that four beavers aro
equivalent in value to a silver fox
skin, two martens to a beaver, twenty
muskrats to a marten, and so on. An
I ml in n wishing to purchase a blanket
or gun from the company would give
Hay threo silver foxes or twenty beaver
skins, or 2(10 muskrats, or other furs,
according to their proper relative po
sitions of worth iu tho tariff.
For a very evident reason tho trap
per price paid for furs is not fixed in
strict accordance with their intrinsic
vnlue; if this wero so all tho valuable
ftir-bcaringauimnls would soon become
extinct, na no Indian would bother to
trap a cheap fur while a high-priced
ono remained uncaught. He may pos
Hibly havo to pay five silver fox skins
for blankets worth about $15, the
value of tho skins paid representing
$'M0, still ho can if he chooaesbuy the
Biuno article by paying for it in miiHk
rat, yellow fox, or other furs of in
ferior worth. Chicago Times.
