Homo and Farm. HORSES I.EOS. I try to imitate nature by the fol lowing system, says an English special ist: I have earth floors in all the stalls; I wash the legs from the knees and hocks downward every day J walks in tho dow and rain-soaked grass are giveu. Should the horse como in from oxcrciso with foot full of earth it is not piekod out, but left in for two or threo hours, cooling and sweetening tho feet wonderfully. It is not advis able to loave the earth on tho feet longer than this, as it becomes harder from the hont of the foot, and thus balks tho object aimed at coolness. I. apply cold water bandages, changed every two hours. For re ducing tho hont in fevered legs, aud I do not grcaso tho hoofs nor allow tho 'smith, when shoeing, to romove any part of the hoof except the wall, which be lowers, so that when tho shoe 1b put on tho frog has an even bearing with tho shoo. With tho above sys tem I bavo never bad any ditHculty in keeping my horses' limbs right ; in fact they could hardly be improved upon. DEOONIAS. There nro no plants which will grow tnoro roadily than begonias. Any one who has had suocess with gerani ums can grow begonias successfully. The variutics are quito numerous, but if limited to ouo I would always take the Rubra. It is a lovely plant with light green leaves and panicles of coral bloom. Begonia Vernon is an other dosirablo plant, blooming al most continually J the white is tho prettiest, boiug white with a delicate tingo of pink. For foliago the Rex is, of course, unsurpassed. The leaves are large nd richly decorated in rings with tho most striking colors. The Rex re quires more care than ordinary be gonias. In watering them care should bo takon that no water gots on the leaves, as it ennsos spots to appear and finally injures tho plant. They should never bo placed in a crowded situa tion, as the leaves are so easily broken, but placed upon a bracket they are certainly lovoly plants. The tuberous-rooted begonias are beautiful. To grow out of doors in beds, start from March to Juuo, give partial shade and thero, will be a pro' fusion of flowers, cither double or single. As house plants begonias should be givon the sumo treatment as geran iums aud aro in fact, just as easily grown. Detroit tree Fresi, THE BEST ROOTS FOR COWS. The best kinds of roots for feeding cows are those that have no strong taste or smell, such as corrots, man gels, beets and parsnips. Turnips of all kinds are to be avoided as food for cows giving milk, although by the ex ercise of oare in feeding thorn the ill effect on the milk may be prevented. This is done by feeding thorn immedi ately attar milking; then the odor will pass off through tho eow's skin before the next milking. But as there are so many better roots, and most of them will yield more than any kind of turnip will, it is better to grow these than turnips. Sugar beets aro the most nutritious of all tho roots, as they have twelve or more per cent of sugar in them, and an aoro of good land will yield twelve to twenty tons of them- But no kind of roots alone will inuko good milk, as they oontain to much water, having from eighty to ninety per cent of it in them. . Their cnief value, however, for feeding is in (bias water, as it helps in tho digestiou bf other food, as well as makes the wholo of tho substnnco of tho roots themselves iligeatihlo. With a perk of cut roots given to a cow twico a day thero should bo fivo to ton pounds of com, pent, or oatmeal, with bran occasionally in plnco of half tho meal. American Farmer. OATHERINO AND HTOI1INO Con Tho methods of gathering ami ator Ing corn intended for planting were given by 370 Western farmers last Tear. Tho great enro nsod iu select ing and preserving tho seed was a matter of surprise and grntitlcation. About hati of tho 370 go through tho fields as soon as the corn begins to ripen and gather ears of tho most do sirablo shnpo aud those which mature first. Moat of the remainder wait until hulking time, thou placing box or barrel in ouo end of the wagon keep separate such ears as come near est thoir idoa of first-class corn. Home select the best ears when unloading at the crib. Ono waits until planting time, then goes to tho crib and picks out his seed. But probably the most important part of tho whole opera tion is curing and storing. Tho main point is to dry it before freez ing weather sots in. This is accom plished by hanging to rafters iu an open shed by means of the husks or wires,stacking the ears like cord wood on boards placed overhead in a gran ary, machinery shed, etc, but the most commonly recommended method was drying by artificial boat This on a small scnlo is easily accomplished by placing tho corn in a room over tho kitchen through which the chim ney or stovepipo passes, or putting the ears on shelves iu the kitchen near tho stove. Whon they are thoroughly dried, and this can usually be accom plished beforo very cold weather, place in boxos or barrels protoctod from mice and rats aud store in some build ing which is free from moisture. All those who reported upon theso moth oi's claim they novor have any diffi culty iu getting a good stand. Thus with very little extra labor, the troublo experienced in so mo localities from defective seed corn is easily avoided. American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Look out for well bred heifer onlves. Too much hay makes a horso rough aud pot-bellied. Too much bran fed to vory young calves is not desirable. We have too much quautity aud uoj enough qunlity in our horses. A full and unfailing supply of pure water is of great money value iu the dairy. A little vaseline aud carbolic acid applied to parts of the horso that he cannot touch with tail or hoad will givo him much rolief by kecpiug flies away. Tho health of a horso doponds on the soundness and propor adjustment of bis teeth. Thoy are the milestones that grind his food, and frequently need attention. Boos starve because they do not have plenty of food in the right plaoo, which is above the cluster. In a cold climate they cannot be kept warm by packing a little straw .or chaff about them. Brocders of grado draft horses have mado a very serious mistake in selling thoir draft mnres to shippers and thus reducing their number much below the producing capacity nocossary to supply the current demand for heavy horses for tho business of the coun try. In feeding common molasses or sor ghum, Mrs. Atchley has said that she could not get the bees to take hold of it, exoept in a case of some colonies which were starving to death. It they can be made to store enough in their combs they will probably winter sue oessfully on it. It depends on the latitude. Every field should "stand upon its own bottom." Let each crop be oharged with just what it cost to raise it the seed, the manure and the lab or. No true business man should be willing to sell his goods without know ing what tliey cost bun. ouch care fulness will soon become a pleasure it is certainly a part of husbandry. Fluxseed boiled for twenty minutes, or till it makes a jolly, in six times its bulk of water, makes a good substi tute for the butter fut taken off of tho milk in cream, if the milk is to bo fed to calves. Two tublespoonfuls of this jolly placed in eaob'gullou of milk fed the calves, with (l handful or two ol bran, according to the age of the calf. will produce good results. WINTER WEAR.

Thoy are of necessity gifted with the prescienoe of foresight, and most know enough to goers at the form the newest-born capnoo will take when fully grown. That they expect a lengthy obliteration of ears is evi dent, for theirwindows are singularly wanting in earrings, and both sides of this vory avenue of jewelers give me tho choioe of scaroelr twenty pairs. Those I see are all of the old rosette dosign. save a few made from pear- shaped pearls, of which the Paris- ionnes are inordinately and faithfully fond. Another sign of the times is the almost total extinction of the tiara, which was onlv possible when backed by mass of bnilt-np curls. Crowns, circlets and coronets reign sumptuously in their stead. An entire coronal of roses, made from the whitest of diamonds, is fit for an em press; si diadem of pink pearls and huge diamonds savors of millions of dollars. Far more graceful and suit able to the "new" head are the thread like circlets of small single stones, A handsome gown for the street, says the Mail and Express, is made of dark green French cloth, with brown velvet trimmings. A band of velvet extends around the skirt, with large buttons at the foot of each gore. The bodice is trimmed with fancy design cut out of velvet and laid on with a very narrow braid of same oolor. which only grow from airy cloganoe to oostly beanty above the brow, where are fixed either two branching peacock's feathers, with every filament pioked out with sparks, and a lovely ruby, sapphire or emerald as the "eye;" or dainty pair of bat's wings, with the serrated edges in first water diamonds, and the center of the wings fitted with a filmy open work pattern in gold and yellow diamonds. These circlets are worn quite forward on the head, with the center jewel resting just where the parting melts into the forohead. The heavenly bodies, as hoad orna ments, are at last eliminated from the iewelers' windows. Stars, so long the lest beloved ornament of the middle class matron, are not to be found. Suns, snch as I have seen by the dozen at Covent Garden Opera House, ple thoric, lumpish and edged with a countless number of octopus-like ten tacles, are in Paris an unknown quan tity. One crescent, slender to at tenuation, is mounted on a shining circlet. Two other crescents, small and entwined upon a hairpin, are all that recall to me a mania which has died a hard death. One characteristic item of the jew elor's window I miss withasmallpang. Those dainty trivialities, called "side combs," seem to be no more. Time was when, in all the glories of sapphires, rubies and diamonds, they glittered in polychromio array every where, and modeat purses pere per force content with those set with a twist of beaten gold or a demure row of seedling pearls.

Let it be told in whispers but almost all the imported skirts have at least two fine wire hoops in them, one aronnd the edgq and one between the knee line and the bottom of the skirt. To give a skirt the pore and "hang" it seems necessary to have something more durable than even the stiffest crinoline. This one is of brocade, which is among the ex pensive materials in vogno. The bro cades are figured with small and large designs, and although many of the richest materials havo sufficient body "to stand alone" thoy are "braced up" nnd out with tiny wires mere threads of metal.

PBr HOW A YANKEE RAN AWAY. HAD TWO DAYS' START. Clever Ruse of an Indiana Boy to Oat out of Andersonvllle. In the month of August, 1SC4, the writer was engaged, under a pnrole o( lienor, as a grave digger In tho now hlstnrlo cemetery near Andnrsonvl'.le prison. While there one ol the prisoners, belonging to an Indians regi ment made his escape under the following retuarxablealroumstn.neest The Indians boy, n 1 will mil him, Insomuch as I know not his name, was one ol the healthy ones eon lined nt I list time In that Southern lulerno, mi I was requested to aid his hall-dead com mit, once a wte k, out of tho moekade to ntteud a so-called sick-call for medical treat ment. tin being thus permitted to Inhale a purer atrnophre,aooii the desire for liberty Invnd ed his breast, nnd lor dnys nnd nights he studied Hpou a plan to em-ape. tin being out BKalll. he was ordered by the surgeon to go to ihf brook nenr the cook, bouse to get wntr for his alek oomrndes. In going thither, he had to pass, on his left, the little shed, covered, srbor-llkn, with pine boughs, nnd known ss the dead-house, lis Dotlued thai the driver of the dead wagon wore our uniform, and upon In quiry found thnt the driver was on of our own men. Lnotwrvsd by the Surgeon, be passed around the rear end of the dend-wagon, and I imposed to the driver that on his next codi ng out with lek men he would climb In through the rear end gate of the dead-wagon niter the load wns about completed, lay him self, apparently desd upon his dead oompaa Inns, let hauled to the oenwtery, and thence make his escape. A few dnys Inter, on n,sultry.rnlny dny, our Indiana .buy was ' again, outside, bringing water to his less fortunate oomrndes. The dead-wagon wits ngalu la front of the dead arbor, this time a little closer up to the shed .-an usunl. Hljttenn. dead lay (ike so many lenco mil on top of each other In the wagon bed, ready to be taken to their final resting plnoe. The Indiana boy punned, and, on a signal from tho driver, went to the end gate of the wagon and ctawled In, '.retching him self out on top ol bla silent oomrndes, disre garding vermin and mortlllcatlon. Ily some mlhnp the wagon wns dotalned about IS minutes, and It was during that time that nuothor one of our men, a hospital at tendant, pnsed In rear of the dead wagon, nnd noticed that the dead man on top had good shoes on his feet, an nrtlcl of clothing very much needed by the living, and u.eleas to anybody In the grave. He examined them, found them perfect, and of the exact Dumber for a perfect 111. He began to open the strings. The thoughts that paaaed through mluil of tho sham dead Indiana boy can only be Imagine 1 should he move be might be betrayed, should he lose his shoes, he could not travel nnd escape. Thus ho lav motion less until the unknown hnml tried to pull them off, when he nroae and In a low, sub terranean voice uttered: "8top! I need those shoes myself," Like a statue, motionless, stricken with awe, stood the man who wanted the shoos; be thought tho resurrection day bad come, nnd In terror, ns fiit ns his tremb ling limbs would carry him, ho lied from tho court ae of the dead The wagon started and arrived nt the cem etery. The Indiana boy aud the driver relat ed the story, shook haudi.nnd with a "good by" the etenpud man went into the thick un derbrush at the northeast corner of the woods nenr the cemetery. Two dnys later the old reb with his blood bounds came In tno cemetery nnd Inquired: "bid you sue s runaway Ynukee this week?" To which question a "No, sir." wns given. In a few days the writes met the old hound man and asked him. "Woll, did you catch anybody the other dny?" To which he replied: "No! Hell It sell ean't ontcb a Yunkee. If he has 44 hours' start of the hounds." If tho Indiana man should be alive and read the above I wish he would write to me. J. L. Youkkob, Corporal Co. A, Uth U. 8. Mnxvllle, O. Xenesaw.
