Horses' teeth, from the day of foaling to tottering old age receive l?y far too ] little attention. Many foals give up quite discouraged, because they cannot produce sufficient suction to cause n flow of milk, "and this from the fact that their nippers are not yet through and their gums are consequently too tender to bear the pressure. Lancing, or generally, simply passing the thumb across the gums with sufficient pressure to cause slight abrasion is enough to set matters right.?National llortc Breeder. PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER. In putting down trotter for winter otto in a Bniau way incro is nothing Dctlcr T than large, well-glared crooks, with covers close-fitting, and glazed inside as well as outside. Glazing on the inside oi tnc covers is onen negiecieu, aim when it is, the porous earthen, which is a powerful absorbent, soon becomes loaded with .foul matter that gives off bad odors and spoils whatever the crock may ontain. The packing should be solid and the butter reach to one inch of the top of the crock, and the butter covered with the blenched muslin free from any starch or sizing. The jar should then be filled with all the salt it will hold and snugly pressed down. Then turn on a little pure water, just euough to rise to one-half the depth of the salt and no higher. Brine on the butter with dry salt on top makes a better protection than all brine or all dry salt. Then cover as closely ns possible and "wm a cooT, dry cellar?not on tho ground, but up a little' from the ground?and if the butter is all right when it is packed it may reasonably be expected to lie sound next winter. In a larger way 100-pound white oak firkins, after being thoroughly cleaned of sap and all liability to imparting woody flavor by soaking in boiling water, may be used in the same way us crocks.? Practical Farmer. EXTRACTED OR COMn TTON'EY. The greatest yield of honey can be obtained by extracting, ns it can be extracted from the combs without awaiting tbeir sealing up. It secins to take the bees about as long to seal over the combs as to fill them with honey. We can, therefore, get double the number of ..... ?... I " null's J lum v.c v.?. of couib. Beside keeping the combs emptied of their contents, there is the additional advantage of keeping the bees working right along filling the combs. Bees thus treated are not so liable to swarm, as_thcx Itflyfijtf?gli ..UP1?3. true we may give them large surplus room, but wheu this is filled with comb honey it is not completed. Several days are necessary to ripen the honey and seal the cells. With limited sfbraga they make preparations to swarm, vfind then plentiful storage room will not preventit. Of the two methods of producing hom*vt comb and extracted, the latter does not require more than half the labor. It has been said that extracted lioucy docs not bring as high a price. But in the majority of cases the apiarist is makiug more money from extracted honey, JSecause he is producing three or more pounds to one. True, there are a few specialists who make the raising of comb nuney a Buiuy, ami mose prooauiy receive the greatest profits. But the imisses find much difficulty in producing comb honey, when they can easily produce large crops of extracted. To succeed properly in raising profitable crops of honey requires the greatest skill and study of anything connected with the apiary. It ia beginning at the wrong end to raise comb honey first, instead of the more simple and easy method of using the extractor.?American Agriculturist. HOW TO MAKE A GOOD WALK. Farmers, as a rule, do not spend enough time in making and improving walks in front of and around their homes. A good walk in the winter time is n necessity for comfort. Unc docs not like to stop out of doors into several inches of mud, nor is it much more satisfactory to have boards slipping and sliding from under j'our feet. Asphalt walks are so cheap that most farmers can afford to have one running around the house and leading to the principal out-buildings. To make a sound walk, cheap to make and maintain and alike in all weather, select a stone of a flinty nature aud hum it before putting it on the walk. This can be easily done with charcoal. After the stones are burnt sift them into two sizes, one for the foundation of the walk and the other for the top. Then mix the stones with jgt jl boiling coal tar. The foundation of the ?v. , walk should be prepared beforehand and V* * ** * made perfectly solid and not liable to sink. The larger stone, mixed with the tar, should be laid oil first, to n ilnnth nf iilimit two inches. Then roll thoroughly, going over all of it several times. Then lay on the finer coating about an inch in thickness. Sprinkle the surface over with coarse grit,- crushed shell or spar, and roll once more. To prevent the sides from crumbling edgings of wood, tile or bricks should be made. One should not forget to burn the stones before mixing them with the tar, as this is one of the most important features of a good, solid walk. The only work to maintain the walk then is annually to brush hot tar over the surface, sprinkle on it some grit and roll it as before. No kind of walk will last longer or prove more satisfactory for a country home than such a one described. Weeds will have no ehancc to grow up in it.? Wanhimjton Star. A GOOD PORTAm.F. nOG PEN. A cheap, convenient hog pen that is portable is built as follows: Take two I pieces of good, durable timber, three by nine inches each, fifteen feet in length, round off the ends in the form of a sled nmner, then lay them parallel eight feet ap?rt, with the rounded edge on the jground. Take foijr scantlings and halve L'' or tenon in crosswise, one piece at each v end, and eight inches from the euds of the runners, and place the others so as to support a floor in one-bnlf of tho pen. in Adjust these strips so they will set about two inches below the level of the upper edge of the runners, then lay a floor of ash or oak lumber one inch thick over one-half oflhe pen, leaving the other half a dirt floor. This, however, may be 1 arranged as may suit best; one-half may be left, or, if desirable, the whole pen may have a floor. Now mortise in twoby-four scantling at each corner and mid, way for posts on which to nail the boards I or slats tor the enclosing. It is necessary for comfort that at least one-half of the tr pen be covered; and for this reason make t* the posts for the siding about our foot longer on one side than the other, so as ^ to give some slope to the roof. The roof If | ought to be elevated enough to allow a ?' j man to walk under it. If only one-half JJ,' of the jH-n is floored, there must be a at partition across, and in this arrange a n< slide door so as to shut the hogs in or out of either section, and the pen is w complete. ai If hogs arc wanted to fatten surely and quickly, they must be confined to jn close, clean quarters, and that is the dc- | sa I ui iui? |h;h. h c?u u? movca easily i" I from one place to another, and thus be entirely free from accumulations of filth, tli By hitching a span of horses to the end lo of it, it cau be readily moved anywhere ** with the hogs in it.

If you notice the former apply the ^ latter vigorously over roosts and nests. I There is no advantage in sowing the ^ wed unless there is sufficient moisture in the soil to iuducc a quick germination. Get ready for early lambs. Oxford or Southdown make a good cross. Whatever breed you use, it will pay to use a pure bred ram. A seed bed three inches deep, made thoroughly, tine, will be much better than six inches of loose soil not thoroughly prepared. Incubators arc now made so perfect that even the liens look on them with wonder and amazement. Pretty hnrd to lose one's trade, isn't it. The time for sowing must be determined by the season, the condition of the soil, and the dauger from grasshoppers, flies and ehineh bugs. i)o not invest too largely in new, untried varieties. There is no harm in testing them on a small scale, but use a standard variety for the main crop. Be sure that the seed wheat does not contain cheat, rye, cockle, or other fine seeds. There is usually a sufficient The custom followed by a great many farmers of using a spring pig in November and December to sire their next spring crop of pigs is not to be commended. , The day of stockcrs, kept on the farm as such, is gone by, or at least should be; from the teat to the shambles every pig should be considered a fattening animal. ; t i To |")rodUCO trood wool, the sheen nm?t , G7 ? r i have the proper food. There is no better hay than clover for sheep, and no better grain than oats and bran with a little oil meal. Poultry culture is one of the most healthy employments that any one can be engaged in. If you want exercise and pleasure combined, try a flock of nice fowls. The quantity of seed should bo gauged by the time of sowing, the fertility and condition of the soil and the quality of the seed used, as well as the way it is sown. Corn land that has been well cultivated during the growing senson can often be properly fitted for wheat without plowing, if care bo taken to harrow thoroughly.

Though, n according to census returns, the number j* of horses actually existing in the country }, reaches the imposing total of 20,000,000, el yet eighty-six per cent, of these arc under- jc sized village ponies unsuited for military j!| purposes; and of the remaining 4,000,000, al which are for the most part reared in w i breeding establishments, 3004 of which ^ exist scattered about the empire, many in the steppe, only eighteen per cent, breed riding horses, the remainder only draught animals. These stud-breds hardly suihcc to meet the requirements of the ' I nffiooro nn/I r.t flw. : ?-1 I Iw.nvuin hum wi miv/ qimiu lr^illlUiilM, Ullit the latter are being compelled more and more to have recourse to the horses com- o' j ing from the south, to so-called "im- ei proved" country-breds, which' also sup- II ply the needs of the line cavalry almost ir entirely. These animals possess consid- 01 erable endurance, but are not well shaped for cavalry purposes, and owing to their t< badly set-on heads and necks, the narrow- ol ness between the cheek bones, and their ei deficient quarters, it is difficult to teach ; n them a proper galop; and these defects hj are even more conspicuous in the Cossack 01 horse, which is yearly deteriorating. * Nevertheless, and in spite of the unprom- f( ising nature of the material, the attempt T is made to attain the same proficiency in Jj| the old-fashioned manege traditions as n was formerly achieved with better stock t> and longer service. w ti One of the principal operations du*- " ing the British naval maneuvers is to bo an attempted forcing of the Straits of j ?< Gibraltar, " ' 1 'fejl.

"And David fled from Naioth tn Ramah id came and said before Jonathan, What ive I donor Saul, being constantly mibted with an evil spirit, had sought on ro different occasions to slay David (chape, riii, 10: xix, 10), but David escaped out of s liana, for the Lord was with him, and i and Bamuel went and dwelt in Naioth. we are true children of God the presence the Lord is ever with us, as a all or nre round about us,, and nothg ran reach ilk without Hia permission; id whatever He may permit to reach us, >thing can by any means harm us, for our re is hid with Christ in God.

"Thou shalt not die." David inquires of i.' 4whM .. me to merit such ill treatment at the hands ' Saul. Jonathan assures him that he shall >t die, and that inasmuch as his father will i nothing without telling him, and has given Ini no hint of such a purpose, thoreforo it mnotbe; but the sequel proved that in this ise the mind of Saul was hidden from Jonalan, and that he was really determined to ill David (vs. 80-331, because, as he stud, hile David lived Jonathan, his own son, mid not bo established in his kingdom. 3.

"If ho say thus: It is well; thy servant shall have peace; but"? By thus ub enting himself from his accustomed place 'or three days, David would certainly learn ho mind of Saul toward him, and Jonathan ronld see it and then know for himself his athcr's thoughts toward David. If any hink that they see deception hore on the v?rt of David in his speaking of going to 3ethlehem, let them remember that God annot possibly in any way tolerate sin, and lever does Ho'cxcuso it; and if David sinnod n this matter it must have brought hint hastening.

"Who shall tell me?" Now David wants o know how he sliall find out the result of ho interview between Jonathan and his other. Ho surely does not honor tho love of lis friend, nor seem to esteem his friend, or lis friend's word very highly by these quesions. He aeeius to bo greatly moved, ho does lot now sing: "I will not fear, though the arth be removed." (Ph. xlvi., 2); ho does not alk like valiant David, a man after God's iwn heart but rather like tho spies who saw ho giants and walled cities instead of seeing lod. Let us learn from him that nothing nust over bo allowed to ootno between us and lod lest wo too be filled with fears and dislonor Christ. 11. "Come and let us go out Into tho Held." 'Come apart," said Jesus to tho disciples. 'Bid tho servant pass on, but stand thou still iwliile," said Samuel to Saul. It is wise, vhon we would have fellowship with God, to pit alone with Him and shut out all elso. It s wise, also, when you would deal personally vith a soul in His name, to take them alone, vitli not even a third party near, and thus mu will have more power with them; I have il ways found it so. 12, 18. "That thou mayest go in peace, ind the Lord be with thee." Jonathan now olemnly calls the Lord Ood to witness that vhether the tidings from his father be good ir cv il, he will surely lot David know; and in he following verses, in most remnrkablo vords, ho speaks of a time when all the onenies of David shall have been cut off from he face of the earth, and as If anticipating lis own and his father's fall and David's ex.Itation. he causes David to promise kindicss to his house forever. Then follows the ccount of the interview between Haul and is son, and the way in which Jonathan neuaintcd David with the result. Bnt even T the tidings were to lie evil, and aid should seek the life of David, ouathaii says he is to go in peace, for the loril will bo wit h him. Perhaps David reicmbered this when he sang: "Ho shall not eafraid of evil tidings, his heart is fixed" usting In the Lord." (Ps, cxii., 7.) The part that rests in the love of Him who sticktli closer than a brother, who has shown His ivo by dying for His enemies, and who havig given Himself has given all things with Limsolf, should ho able to say truthfully at II times: "Behold, Clod is my Saviour, I 'ill trust and not be nfraid; for His thoughts -> ine nro peace and not evil; and Ho Him;lf is my everlasting life."?Lesson Helper.

THE OLD TTPO'S ADVICE. "It don't pay, young fellows. There's beer down stairs and there's ice water in tlx pail in the corner. Ono costs money and tlx (other's free; one makes tramp printers am the other saves 'em. Stick to the saloon in tlx corner, fellows; drink at the sign of tlio til dipper, and you'll always have eyes an< nerves to stick t.ypj when you're seventy.' Somehow the boys always enjoyed the ole man's homely little temperance lectures, au< in the forty years ho stood at the case am Creached, if ho wasn't quite so eloquent a ougb, every now and then he ooaxod soni typo away fi'nm the sign of the glass-mug t< the sign of the tin flipper. And sometime the old man used to stimulate a little him self, but that was long ago. Ho would I* gone a day or two, and come back quietly penitent', and very oblivious to the occasiona remarks of a mysterious character wuicl would drift up and down tho alleys. Bu this flidn't often happen, because tho boyi liked the old man and felt sorry for him, nut they respected his penitence, and finally onli the new meat or?M?? ?? ??'rt .n. won liuouv ui?w unuual disapiiearancee. All ttu [>ld man would ever say about them was Ilia he had "been up in tho country to bury hi; ancle." His uncle died hard, but he did dit t last, and the old man for many year stood like a conqueror at the time-worn oh case with hu enemy under his feet. TO PROHIBIT THKATINO AT BARS. The measure which is pending in the Legii loturc of a Western State to prohibit trcai ing at bars, is a praiswerthy one. This treai ing practice is something which should I broken up as soon as (tossible. There is n intent on the part of tlio fraiuer of the bill t stop drinking. The bill merely forbids trea ing by the wholesale. This is, indeed, a ver foolish custom. Ono or two inou will enter saloon. There they aro introduced to four c five more, then the treating begins and g<x thn rounds. Each man bos to nay for tli drinks for all, and each man driuks inoi than is good for hint. The treating has to I done, because nubile opinion wit h its idiot gauge brands tho man who refuses to treat < a shabby fellow. There is no getting out of uuicss the man has the moral courage to bl defiance to public opinion and to withstan tho contumely of his associates. There nothing to bo gained by this bibulous pra tlce. it is an expensive as well as an injui ous habit.?Detroit Free Press. WHY MOSUCMS ARC TCMPKUAT*. "Prom one end of tho Turkish Empire ays tho Rev. C. P. Morse, "to the othe there is not a grog shop kept by a Mohap mcdan." Another writer, in speaking < India, says: "Liquor shops, many and 1 creating, carrr their curse morn and mm in spite of Hindoo and Mohammedan r ligious objections, into the homes and liv of these people. The blessings of Westei civilization are Attended by cursings." T1 reason why the Mohammedans are mo temperate than Christians is because tl former make it a part of their religion. TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES. I.iverjKJol, England, has a deaf and dun temperance league. A silver fish is the appropriate badge c the Alaska W. C. T. U.

No man hns a right to plead for bren with the smell of liquor on his breath. An observant traveler declares that Front wine drinkers look exactly like the brand and rum drinkers of America. The Japanese Temperanco Society, i Hawaii, fifteen months old, numbers 171 out of the 8000 Japanese residents. M. Lunier, an eminent French physioiai claims that alcohol from cider is more pe nicions than that from beet root or grain. The lifo of the late John B. Finch is ahoi to be published in German, to l>o used In tl temperance work among the people of th nationality. According to the New Orleans Tims*, i liquor has been sold for this last six years ono of the wealthiest and most pronpero counties of Texas, and consequently the jt is empty. It doesn't pay to give one man for $15 quarter, a license to sell liquor, and tin spend 85000 in trying another man for buyii tnat liquor and committing murder under i influence. Temperance is making headway in Bivitze land. In two cantons?Vaud and Neuchat ?there are societies with a united meinbe flip or H1W, including fully 200 reclaim* drunkards. Dr. Peiix M. Oswald declares that "erei family of the United States has at present i pay an average of 906 a yoar to enjoy tl privilege of abundant facilities for heir poisoned." In 1980 it required 93A04 of liquor monc to employ oua man and pay him in wag 9447. The same amount of money investi iu boots and shoes would employ eight * nine men and pay them in wages $83.OT. Tbe only religion in India, says Mr. W. 1 Caine, M. P., which did not prohibit the n: of intoxicating liquors was the Christian r ligion. Yet we had induced twenty per cen of tho Indian people to learn the habit i drinking. Bechuanaland, a country In South Afria lying to the north of Cape Colony, has i distAeries or publio houses and consequent! no drunkenness.
