Jg&i AOBIOCLTUBE. About Stabi^s.—Let your stabl* be well drained and snfficidutly lighted. The rapors from a damp, putrid floor, and the sudden change from darkness to light, will almost to a certainty cause blindness. Let the floor of the stall be quite flat and level. Standing on a slop ing place is very pamful, and causes lameness by straining the ligaments and membranes. It also produces grease and sore heels. Every stall should be at least six feet wide and Line feet long. This will enable the horse to turn round without bruising himself, and to lie down and streteh himself witL comfort Let the stalls be separa ted by partitioue, not by bars. They prevent the horses from fighting and kicking each other. Let proper open ings be made jost under the ceiling, to permit the hot, foul air to escape, and proper openings at the bottom of the wall *o admit fresh air. Impure and confined air will cause broken wind. The fresh air should enter through a number of small, rather than a large hole, such as an open window. That prevents dranghts. which cause chills and coughs. The temperature of a sta ble should be that of a sitting-room or parlor;not over seventy degrees in sum mer nor under forty-five in winter. Mot. close, or foul stables will bring on glan ders or inflame ation, while a very cold or damp one may cause an incurable cough or disease of the lungs. Do not keep the hay over the manger. The steam and breath of the animal make it both unpleasant and unwholesome. If the hay must be kept over the horse, the ceiling between should be of pias ter. This will in a measure prevent vapors from passing up to the fool. Have no opening into the manger from the hay-loft. Dust is very often thrown into the horse’s eyes, when fed in this way, and thus blindness is begun. The breath ascends directly to the food through the opening, which, at the same time, pours a continual draught down on the horse’s head, thns causing chills as well as bad food. uumisoilO. The hogs suffer most and their food should reoeive close attention, Provide a variety. Do not feed corn alone. Feed the pumpkins that you raised among the corn. Pick up the potatoes too small for market and the fallen apples not wanted for cider and feed them to the hogs. Swing yonr large iron kettle in the bog lot and cook those turnips you have raised on the early potato patch;mlx with turnips.bran, corn-meal and a very littlesalt,and feed in troughs. See that the hogs get ashes, charcoal and salt regularly. Save all vegetable scraps and greasy water and refuse milk for tbe slop barrel, which keep one-third Ail of bran and corn meal.— Begin feeding the hogs three light meals per day. We have time and again written against tbe folly of dairymen trying to fatten their old cows at a picfit. It cannot be done, and if any farmer wish es to try it let him have them at any price. If a man has more grass or other feed than he knows what to do with let him buy some likely young steers and make money with them instead of wast- his time and feed on the remains of an old cow. The Provisioner, of England, on this subject says: ‘'Old animals can seldom be fattened at a profit, even if their flesh was as valuable as that of younger ones, because it requires so mnoh more time and feed to do it.” What we particularly object to in old cows for fattening is the immense pro portion of offal in them. A pot-belly makes no beef. Fbeaks and variations in vegetables have been numerous at the New York experimental station. One of the beets planted for seed, instead of throwing np a seed shoot, emitted branches from the root, and these branches, coming to the surface, threw out leaves, thus form ing a cluster of roots, which have grown as annuals, showing no tendency to st ediug. A potato plant developed tu bers in abundance in the axils o( its leaves. An onion, of tue white globe variety, sprouted into a top onion, the cluster of small bulbs replacing the top iormatice. Bi-annuals became annuals, for rows of soighum ana salsify grown from seeds from plants which were bi annuals last year, are furnishing annual plants this year, thus showing how ea sily and quickly the habits of some plants can be changed by selection. Thxbe are many degrees of feeling, •nob as poor feeding,good feeding,high feeding and over-feeding. High feed ing can only be indulged in with young animals, and always then with more or leu risk of permanent injury to the ani mal; but either excessively low feeding or over-feeding can only bp practiced with actual injury to the beast. The over-worked or starved organs of diges tion will never fully recover from the injury, and, what is far worse than the immediate injury to the animal thus wrongfully treated, the evil effects of this bad treatment are sure to be telt by the offspring, so that such a coarse, u persisted in, will surely bring destruction to the herd. More than ail other calf troubles combined is that of scours. A Massa chusetts farmer tells in the Homestead his remedy: "For scours in calves I find tbe tea from white oak bark the best thing I have ever tried, and I have tried almost everything. Take about a quart of tea (made strong) and mix with milk. I hrve no trouble getting calves to drink it, and two or three doses al ways bring them, if taken in time. 1 have used dollars’ worth of medicine, but have never tried anything as good as tha above.” E. L. Stubtevaht says he has found strong tobacco water a remedy for the cabbage flea beetle, hallioastholata,the little black bug or flea which is to de structive to young plants of turnip, rad ish and cabbage. The decoction must be made strong. This tobacco water is of no avail with the striped bug or cu cumber beetle. Oom-cobs dipped in coal tar or in turpentine and kerosene seemed to drive away a large proportion of the beetles. Oats may be raised on a diversity of soils and with good result. They grow well over a wide range of latitude, and; with proper cultivation, supplementing the sowing of good seed, they are a creditable crop to raise. They are grown for vheir grain as a primary considera tion, but the straw also makes an excel lent fodder when cat while it is some what green, or st least before it be comes harsh. Fios are excellent food for invalids. They are beetif boiled about five min- utae and eaten hot about fifteen minutes before breakfast. Chuidres’s fashions.—Elastic cloth is popularly made into serviceable cos tumes for children, and nothing could lie imagined better adapted to the strain which a child’s incessant move ment puts upon its clothing. It is in solid colors, webbed like a stocking, and lies oloee when not stretched, It is an English ‘‘wear-resisting” material, and puts boys and girls in possession of a material which, if not held in by stiff lining, is perfectly adapted to their uses. But it is vety hard to persuade the ordinary seamstress and dressmaker not to use linings. They are so accus tomed to making the lining a substi tute for proper underwear that they do not see how it can be dispensed with— nor their customer, either. But indeed, if children are properly dressed and clothing is properly made there is little necessity for linings. The "Effia” skirt and "box-plaited” waist compose a pretty costume in dark blue or gar net, moss-green or brown for girls that demand nothing in th? way of trim ming but a velvet belt aud rosette of narrow velvet ribbon to fasten the tablier of the skirt. The cloaks are for school wear, except the first, which is pretty, in red, blue or wh tc wool with lace or ribbon trimming, for any purpose whatever. The "Nanor” cloak has hood and cape ; (he "Gisela” raglan, hood and gathered sleeves easily slipped over the hand, aud very pretty made in dark blue or green and lined with dark red, hood included. The "Linda” dress is for solid wool, trimmed with several rows of narrow braid, and derives all its style from its simplicity and from its softness of material and color. Black braid should be used upon all dark colors, or gold braid upon cream, or cream and gold mixed upon white, .Pretty contrasts in color may be obtained by making the collar dark red (or blac k upon shep herd’s ’check), and facing the band turned np on the skirt with a color to match. The mixed and broken checks are well adapted to this design. The secret of ventilation without draught is a little and constantly, The mere fact of living in a close atmos phere begets a shivery, susceptible condition of the body, which is intol erant of the slighest sensation of chill. If you accustom yourself and your chil dren to fresh air you become robust, your lungs play freely, the vital heat is sustained, and even a draught becomes exlularating. All through the day re member to have a small chink epen at the tops of your windows : or better still, raise the lower sash, close the opening beneath with a pieoo of wood fitting closely, and so the air will enter at the junction of the sashes, aud pass upward without draught Vert delicate tea cake is made by beating tbe whites and yolks of six eggs separately. Mix two and a half ounces of very fine dry bread crumbs with four ounces of melted batter, add the beaten yolks, and two ounces of sugar, aud a teaspoonful of grated lemon pool. Mix these together and then add gradually two ounces of ohpped raisins, and a few blanched and chopped almonds, lastly stir in the beaten whites of the eggs If the mixture seems too thin a little flour may be added. It is impossible to give definite directions because the bread crumbs are so likely to vary in weight. This should be baked in a moderate oven, and in a shallow tin which must be lined with paper on the bottom and sides. When done yon may frost it or sprinkle powdered sugar over it. A DAINTY DEVICE.—A beautiful work bag is made of a twilled silk handker chief, of old gold, bine, Chinese yel low or pink. Torn up each corner of the handkerchief and stitch it down upon itself, making an octagon shape. Ban a easing for drawing-strings all round and about an eighth of a yard from the edge. Trim the edge with a fall of white lace of equal width. When drawn up it make a pretty round bag for either fancy work of the lighter "mending.” An appetizing entree is made by taking cold boiled cabbage; chop it fine; for a medium-siand pudding dish full add two well beaten eggs, a table spoonful of butter, three tableepoonfuls of cream, with pepper and salt ad libi tum. Butter the pudding dish, pat the cabbage in and bake until brown. To cook Lima beans in perfection they should simmer half an Lour, then remove the cover, and let the water boil and evaporate until but little is left Add cream, with plenty of butter in it for gravy.

Wx were coming up Pennsylvania avenue yesterday evening in a oar. Every seat was taken and a number were sitting on their feet and hanging to the straps. In the oorner next to Gretohen was a litte boy not more than ten years of age. Under, his arm he held thfe usual ton of books which as sassinate the joys of childhood. Great crystal tears coursed their way adown his chubby cheek, leaving clear marks like farrows in the soil. Jerky sobs and smfflss attracted tbe attention and excited the maternal sympathy of Gretohen, and she affectionately asked him to unburden his griefs to her. ‘•Won’t tell you,” snapped he. "Oh yes, my little man, you must tell me what aile you, and I’ll help you,” "Nobody can’t help me now. I’m just almost gone.” "No, no, little one.” said Gretohen, as she endeavored to put her arm around the dusty neck. "You’re not qnite gone. Cheer up and tell me what ails you.” He jerked himself away from the gentle embrace and wrote npon his slate in big crazy capitals—"KOLL- ERY.” Safe washing of windows.—Mrs. Janes is perfecting a patented window washer, which promises to be the de sired invention for cleaning the outer sashes of windows without sitting out on the sill, at imminent risk of falling backward into the street. It consists of a long, slender handle of wood and metal, hollow, which is so curved as to bnng a square of rubber directly against an outer pane of glass. A sponge is fastened by a rubber band to this square. The curved handle and the readily attached sponge, which, with the firm corners of the rubber, are to do the cleaning, constitute the real merit of the invention, as they really are only like the bent and lengthened arm of the window washer herself. An attachment is made to the upper section of the holder of a rubber syringe tube, an end of which is to be dipped into a bucket or basin, and by a touch will supply to the sponge all the water that is needed for the win dow cleaning, so that it need not be drawn in again to the room until tbe work is complete. The inyentor is, we understand, about having the entiie implement made in papier maohe, which is extremely light, and can be made into a tube as well as into a washbasin. In her first completed model the handle was of ash, a hard wood being neces sary to make the tubing required ; and for window washers who like a stout implement this does very well. Every ounce that is taken off a brush-handle, however is of importance to some peo ple, so that in either form window washing ought to be safely and quickly accomplished by this means. A chamois cloth or any polisher can bo fastened upon the rubber back in the same way as the sponge is. "Now what I want you to do Mi randa,” said a white woman to the new colored "help,” "is to get up early, make two fires, get breakfast, take care of the children while I am eat ing ; then, after breakfast, sweep the rooms, make up the beds, and do any thing else that comes handy.” "What’s yerse’f gwine ter be doin’ all dat time?” "Why, I’ll be attending to my own affairs, of course.” "An' seein’ me workin’ like a slabe?
