X r ■ •-t n' m r* * ■* *>• AOBIO (JLTURE. Th* Tnr* Wat to Bat-Jt a Colt.— Lo«ng one’s temper in so important a work is very hurtf . If yon think it will not matter, that it will be forgotten; yon are atdiy mistaken; it will not be forgotten but will constantly net as a remindw of the trustworthiness of the man. Begin early with your colt, and never contradict yourself to him, and he will think it is all right, that he has to do what you require of him. What yon do in this way of teaching or breaking, do it gradually— mildly, of course—and with conttdence; this will inspire conhdence in return. Thus get him used to the harness, saddle, etc., by degrees, first, by a part of the harness and so on. By and by, he will have reach ed the full attainment, and he will hardly know how, only that he is to abide by it, it will be seen as a matter of course. But If a vicious fit take him while training, you must hold him ss with a vise, and let him know that resistance is entirely use less. Flinch once and he will want you to flinch again, and he will endeavor, and harder than before, to have it so, but if he have no excuse, the way will soon be clear to you. Make your colt what you want of him as a horse, ife is an instrument, and you are to fashion him as you want him. If for farm woik, you do not want him for a trotter; if for a trotter, not for a racer. If you want him for heavy farm work alone, he must be treated somowhat differently from what is necessary for a meie roadster and vice versa. For a saddle horse or a lady’s horse, you want something different slilL If he is high-tempered you must treat him differently from a horse with a mild disposition, and so on. You must know your horse, and know what you want him for; then make him* such; shape tne instrument to your purpose. Begin early, at birth is not too early; hints and signs have an effect—and these go through lua. it takes time and practice to do it. It must be gradual, growing work. The colt must grow m his training as in his years; it will be nature with him then,and he will want to do that qply; in lact, he knows only to do that—this makes him reliable. The man, who is a humane and intelli ent man, has made him so; and ne will treat him with discretion, work him what he can really bear,and what ho main ly loves to do. He will, therefore, wear at least a third longer. He will do good service to a ripe old age, while others, with hard treatment, are worn out at what should be their prime. Handling Horsjw —Men differ greatly tn the amount of work they can get out of a team of horses, and the animals know this as well as the drivers. Seme will fret and sweat a team when only drawing aa empty wagon, while others will drive the lame horses before a large load and not wet a hair. This difference is more easily seen than described. Kindness in man ner and tone of voice go a great way to ward making the load draw easily, the owner’s handling of the reins is frequently lar different than that of the hired man. W c have seen teams kept poor fn flesh by an almost incessant worry from an ill-fit ting harness, an inhuman jerkiug upon the bits, or a frequent and injudicious use of the whip. Boys are not exempt from these strictures. Many teams have had their usefulness impaired by a disregard of the feeling of the horses. It is not the well- fed horse only that does the most work and keeps m the best rendition; he must also have a kind master, and be treated with a just regard for equine sensibility. DOMESTIC. HUMOROUS. keeping grapes in the winter lias been sue- cessful, and is very simple, select such sorts as the Catawba, Isabella, Diana and Iona-Concord am) other thin skinned kinds it ia not worth while to try to keep—pick on a dry, clear day, with grape scissora.so as not to handle them much, removing ai) impertect berries and those not fully rip ened. Place iu clear dry earthen jars; in Dyers a bunch deep with dry straw paper between the layers and fill the jar in this way. Place a double sheet of paper over the top 1: yer and put on the lid. Strong, unbleached muslin is pasted entirely over the lid or cover of t be Jar, completely covering the opening so that no air may outer. When this covering has fully dried and hardened the jars are buried en a dry knoll sufficiently deep to be beyond the action of frost, a stake being placed over each jar to lecate it accurately. Ovk English cousins have a kind of no menclature in their abeep business which very easily puzzles the casual reader. A brief explanation of some of their terms may not be out of place. When an Eng- liahman speaks ot a “hogget” he means a wether in his second year, a “ewe-hoggy” is & young ewe that has never been shorn; a ••gimmtr” is a ewe once sheardcf, a *two shear-ewe” is one in her second shearing year; a “threc-s ear-ewe’ is one in her third shearing year, etc.; keeping a “run ning’’ ewe stock means the practice of buying ewe lambs to keep up the flock, and selling with all the produce a “flying” ewe stock is one kept wjjtre the ewes are bought annually and sold after they have brought a lamb. People who “talk Jolt ed States'’ are strangers to nearly all of i hese terms. Land plaster, or gj psum, is suphate oi lime. One hundred pounds of common gypsum consists ot pounds of sulphuric acid, 33 pounds of lime, and ‘21 pounds of water. It is ground floe and thus applied to land or crops. When it is heated to redness, the latter is driven off and the residue is easily reduced to a very fine powder and is knowu an the plaster of parts used by masons. The theory of the beneficial action of land plaster upon crops has long been, and still is. a subject of dispute. That it supplies lime and sul phuric acid to plants to some extent is probably true, but it is now generally ad- milted, we believe, that gypsum is chiefly useful by its power of solidifying and re taining the ammoniacal gases of the earth and air. Eor wheat and corn it has not proved satisfactory, bnt on clover, sanfmn and leguminous plants generally its use fu' effects are not Questioned, Linseed meal and oottoqseed meal are both often mentioned in the same connec tion as valuable food for dairy cows, leav ing tbe impression that they are alike in their effects. There is quite a difference between the two. Limeed meal is mild and laxative In iu influence, and may be fed more freely to cows in milk, and spar ingly before they come in, when their oth er food is not rich enough. Cor on-seed meal is more beatiug and stimulating, and ahonld be fed cautiously to cows m mills, and never before they come in. Wnen there u not an active flow of milk, and also before parturition, much cotton-seed meal tends to a thickening and inflamma tory state of the adder and leads to gar get. It always requires more cautious i ceding than hnaeed meal. Saw Teeth Tippea with Iridium,— Mr. John Holland, whose discoveries and improvements in the working of iridium were noticed nr* kmg agoi has now made a circular saw with teeth tipped with that hard and refractory metal. The saw u 13 inches in diameter and i* to be used for sawing hard woods, Cheese Aigrettes.—For these will be required three ounces of grated Par mesan cheese, two ounces of butter, two ounces of sifted flour, three eggs (omitting the white of one) and a half pint of water. Boil the water and hot ter togetl er, stir the flour gently into this, continuing the stirring until the flour is cooked. This will be when it begins to thicken. Take the saucepan ;ff the fire, and throw a handful of the cheese (about a third of the quantity) over the paste; stir and add one egg. Mix and beat all together; then add as much more cheese as will prevent the mixture from being very liquid; add another egg, mixing and stirring as be fore. Gradually add the rest of the cheese and the yolk of the third egg. When quite light from having been well stirred and beaten spread it on a plate to cool When cold it should be quite set. Fry in boiling fat, taking up about half a teaspoonful and scooping it off with another spoon to form it into shape. In the process of frying they swell and gape before they are ready; they must be sent to table very hot. Roast Leo op "Venison.—Draw tbe dry skin from the meat, and wipe with iv damp toweL Make a paste with one quart of flour and a generous" pint of cold water. Cover the venison with this and put before a Lot fire or into a very hot oven. As the paste browns baste it with the gravy in the pan. After an hour's cooking take off the paste, cover with butter, and dredge thickly with flour. Baste frequently. If tbe leg weighs ten pounds it will not need to be cooked much longer. For every pound over cook ten minutes longer. For the gravy skim off all the fat from the baking pan, and put iu the pan a cupful of boiling water. Stir from the sides and bottom and set back where it will keep hot. Have ail ready before this a small frying pan in which you have browned a tablespoonful of nutter, a small slice of onion, six pepper cornt and four whole cloves. Wbeu the omou is browned add a heaped teaspoon ful of flour. When this is browned, gradually stir into it the gravy in the pan. Boil one minute. Strain and add half a teaspoonful of lemon juice and three tablesjiooufuls of currant jel ly. Serve both venison and gravy very hot, and on hot plates. It must be rare. Drapery, ss a means of modifying the stiff and cold appearance of the entrance hall, is not made us much use of as it might be. Whenever it can lie employed either as a portiere over a door or across an archway, as well as for hangings, for the staircase windows, it will, if made of snitabie material and harmonizing iu color with the walls and woodwork, warm and lighten the hall and give it a much more homelike and hospitable aspect. It is of the first importance to have the furniture and fittings of a bedroom simply constructed and not too heavy to be easily removed for house cleans ing. The carpet should never cover the whole of the floor, but only be laid down iu the center of the room and fastened with carpet pins, so that it can be easily taken up aud shaken. Tbe rest of the floor may be stained and var nished, and kept frequently rubbed with beeswax and turpentine. a. Grape, ILsh^—_An_exccl lent^staud^ for tendency to roll- -is a fruit dish that defies the principles of centrifugal at traction. A mejolioa plate with slight raised rim is mounted upon a wire ped iment; around the plate rim i-t a high fence of twisted wire ornament, m huif- moon curves. The dish handlers are wire loops placed at the sides not after the man ucr ot old-fashioned cake di-du s on the top, apparently for the purpose of knocking oil the contents of the dish. Orangeade.—Squeeze the juice from seven large manges, peel three and pour boiling water over tne peel; cover it closely over until it is cold; boil wa ter aud sugar together iu sufficient quantities to make a thin syrup. Skim it carefully while boiling. When all are cold mix in the infusion, the syrup aud tiie juice, together with as muon more water as will make a rich driuk; strain through muslin, add a glass of brandy, aud ice it with lumps of clear ice. Scrambled Eggs.—Heat one cup of milk in a spider with a piece of butter, a little salt and white pepper; beat five eggs, pour in, set over a very slow fire, and keep scraping from the bottom with a spoon until very little remains thin; then scrape into a dish without delay, as allowing it to harden with whey spoils it. Broiled Oysters on the Half- Shell. —Select large shells, clean with a brush, open, saving the juice; put the oysters in boiling water for a tew minutes, remove and place each oyster in a half-shell, with juice; place on a grid-iron over a brisk fire, and when they begin to boil season with butter, salt and pepper (some add a drop of lemon juice). Serve on half shell. Egos for Breakfast.—Bieak ten eggs into a tin plate, add one large spoonful of butter, some salt aud pep per, put ihe plate on the stove and allow the eggs to cook until the whites are done, then slip the tin plate into a china one, and send them hot to the table. Deodorizers.—A pail of clear water in a newly-painted room will remove tbe sickening odor of paint. Coffee pounded in a mortar and roasted on an iron plate, sugar buraed ou hot coals, and vinegar boiled with myirh and sprinkled on the floor aud furniture of the sick room are excellent deodorizers. Baked Beet?. —Wash them perfectly clean; put them in a pan with a very little water in it, and bake them until they are tender; the time, of course, vanes with the size of the beet, an hour being small enough allowance for a beet of medium size. When they are done remove the sViu and serve in the same way that you do a boiled beet. Artificial Honey.—Three pounds of wliite sugar, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, one teaspoonful of alum dis solved, one tabiespooaful rose water; add eneugh water to make of the right substance; mix and heat to a boiling point This is a good imitation if prop erly prepared. To wasn woolen goods nicely, to each pail of water used add one tablespoon- ful of ammonia and one of beef-gall, wash out quickly and rinse thoroughly in warm water with a very little beef- gall added. Alt excellent polish for zinc or tin is made of three pinto of water, one ounce of nitric acid, two ounces of amery, and I eight ounces of pumice-stone shaken well together. Theodore was a poor lad. One day, when he was very hungry, he espied a five-cent piece on the floor of the brok er’s office which ho was sweeping out. He had remembered stories wherein little boys had picked up a small piece of money, handed it to the great mer chant or rich banker, and been immed iately taken into partnership, iso The odore stepped np to the door of the broker’s private room and said, “Please, Sir, here is a five-cent piece I found on your floor.” The broker looked at Theodore a moment aud then said, “You found that on my floor, did you? And you are hungry, aren’t you?” “Yes, sir,” replied Theodore. “Well, give it to me, and get out. I was looking around for a partner; but a boy who doesn’t know enongh to buy bread when he is starving to death, would make bat a sorry broker. No, boy, 1 can’t take yon into the firm.” And Theodore never became a great broker. Honesty is the best policy, children, but it is not indispensable to success in the brok erage business. ***“Test a man's profession by his prac tice.

Millions of packages of the Dia mond Dyes have been sold without a single complaint. Everywhere they are the fa voritt Dyes. A tale is told of a certain bombastic colonel who was once riding in a stage coach with several other passengers, when he accidentally dropped his hat out of the coach window, and exclaimed in a stentorian voice, “Charioteer, pause ! I have lost my chapeau. ” The driver paid no heed to the demand. Again the bombastic fellow authorita tively spoke, “Charioteer, pause! I nave lost my chapeau." No attention being paid by the driver to this last de mand, a plain, blunt maK, who had be come disgusted with his fellow-trav eler’s silliness and pomposity, put his head out of the window, and said, “Driver, hold on; this fool has lost his hat.” Ihis was perfectly intelligible to ihe driver, and the hat was secured.

Urinary or Liver Complaints that is curable, that Hop Bit ters has not or cannot cure? Ask your neighbors if they can. The average young man cannot hold thirty pounds of iron ou his knees for twenty minutes, yet he willingly kills himself trying to hold 140 pounds of girl for two bonrs. Well, what of it ? Would you advocate the holding of bar iron by a man, young or old, in prefer ence to 140 pounds of good looking female ? If that is the platform you are running on you will have an almighty big majority recorded against you. You can hold the thirty pounds of pig iron, and we will struggle along with seven times the weight in ’tother kind. We were always willing to do more than our share of the hard work.
