FttDIe CON - TO UOUsEO.-Corn Is the bane of the farm horse, as it, -Is also of the horse doing any other sort of work, not because of not being euffi olently nutritious, but because it makes too mu'ch fat and not enough musole; The horse's musOle wears away by *orl% as metal wears away by friction. Fat wears away under exerois-, but its dis appearance in nowlse lessens the power for either draft or speed. On the othOr hand, well-nourished and vigorously exercised muscles, without a deppsit of fat to keep them sompany. are much more efficient for any purpose for which the horse is kept, then when there Is a lod of fat to be carried. The trainer auto upon this proposition, and works the fat off, experience having shown that the muscles, trained dowzn by exercise until fat accumulations are re moved-fattening' foods being mainly abetaiped from-give the best results in the case of a speedy horse. The same rule will l4old aood with the work horse, thoigh modified by the degree in whioli the movements of the latter are slower tlhan those of the former. If the farmer has only corn for feed, then lie will be wise if he make sale of his cora, or the greater part of it, buying oats instead. If corn be used in whole or in part, the effect should/be carefully noted as to the extent to which fermentation sets in, m eting this -by Wie- of salt and ash", at once lessening the amount of corn fed. It will be found that horseS fed upon corn will eat earth when allowed access to it, as, to a degree, this neutralizes the acids generated -i the stomach, and gives relief. Corn may be rated as the natural food of fattening stock-such as are fed for their *esh. All kinds of fattening stock'are made ripe on corn, with the addition of an allowance of coarse feed or fodder. Ripeness in the horse is a very different thing from ripeness in the fatted steer, for in the one case It means full vigor of muscle with an ab sence of fat, and in the other rn abunvd ance of fat, no matter how much ; and as for muscle, no matter how inefficient for work. TaE grape rot is now known to be a fungus growth which attacks the fruit successively through the season. As the spores ripen they burst an-1 spread upon fruit not before affected. It is. therefore, important to go through the vineyard eaily, and cut out all berries that show any signs of injury. A still earlier preventive measure is to remove all decayed grapes, cuttings or other rubbish from under the vines, and then plough the ground so as to turn wider the surface any that are acci dentally missed. After the first plowing the grotind should not be cul tivated except to destroy weeds. S ir ring it deeply would bring some of the spores to the surface of the ground, where they would bs blown about by wmnds. The use of sulphate of iron or copperas in water is also recommended as a spray for the vines during the growing season. By adopting these precautions grape growing may be re established even in localities whei4e succesaive yeirs of rotting had caused grape growers to abandon the business. THEF continued raising of Cne crop upon the same soil exhausts the kind of plant food needed by that kind or plant. Some plants have long roots, others short ones ; by changing, the nutLre ment is drawn from different parts oft the soil. Some plants draw their sustenance largely fromn the air, stofe .up nutriment and leave it in the soil. This class of plants usually have broad leaves ; clover, peas and beans are of this class. Wheat, corn, oats, and those plants having a few narrow leaves, are exhaustive to the soil. Upon a sandy loam the followmng is a plan for rotation : firat year, meadow ; second summer, follow ; th'rd, wheat ; fourth, corn, and all the undecomposed man ure. Sow rye at the last cultivation, pasture it in the fall and spring ; fifth year, sow oats or barley and seed down. At the present prices or sugar it will not pay to raise amber caue excep~t as a forage corop, for which purpose it i. exceller't,, and especially adapted for light, sandy soil. Beef fattened upon it is excellent. TnE farmer's wife is emphatically a partner in his busmess. On her de volves the care of the dairy in addition to the routine of household duties. Hecr sphere of action, though strictly do mestic, is a wider one than that of tho ordinary housewife. As h- r husband, in virtue of the ownership of land which he subdnes and tills, is entitied to the name of landlord with. all the cares and honors the name implies, so she is entitled to the name of landlady, and must assume the responsibility as well as the respect. A GOOD conditioni powder rmay be cheaply prepared on the farm. A mixture of one pound penugreek, one pound gentian;. one pound sallh, one pound sulphate of, soda, an ounce of sulphur, a pound of phosphate of soda half a pound of. chloride of iron anJ half a pound ol black anmtimomgy; given in tablespoonful deses twice a dar$wIll. greatly assist the appetite and promote the conditions of the animals. ONE who has tried the process st ates that those who will try bagging a few grapes will appreciate the great advan.. tages of fastening ou cheap paper-bags wi.onm the bunches begin to form. There wi'a be no waste. while double the price may be obtained, as thiey will stay on the vines unt'l afte. cold weather. The bags should be attached as soon as the earliest indicationis of grapes are noticed. THE curing of clover in the barn de * ponds upon how it is stored. Some barns are tight atnd have solid floors at the bottom of the mow, while others have craoks in the walls and a lot of loose mtaiis for the hay to rest on. W~hile the tight barn may soimetimes keep green glovr% like a silo', 'the other will IiN nothing do' we need to exercise greater care and judgmenit than in feed in g. While o cow will only fully - utilize from four to six pounds, a care ful test' tvil no doubt prove the co.v that consumes ten, pounda will bring to her owner a larager not profit than the one that consumes but five pounds. THE Department of Agriculture es. timates the increased value in the cattle of Louisiana and the adjoinmng cotton States, due to the' use of improved breeds and crossing them on the native cwa during the last few years, at 85 *per'cent.

A cafeulibvestigatton'.appears to'indi cate that, in this threatened trouble, the managers of the Rook Island are primarily responsible. This great cor poration has comparatively little inter. est n the Northwest, but through its .'touudabouV' connections demands reo ognition and a large slice of the North. western. trafio. It is an open secret that while the Rook Island ii supposed to be more distinctively than almost any other a Chicago road, its power and in. fluencoe are being- used not only to fur. tjier the speculative desires of a trusted few in Wall Street, but practically against Chicago's beat interests, But leaving aside all discussion of passenger quartels and W.Al street combinations to fleece the lambs, the freight problem stands looally pro eminent. It is the question an which every one is inter. ested. The fact la not disputed that a steady maintenance of reasonable and just rates inures to the benefit of the entire business community, and yet it cat hardly be denied that this so-called Chicago road has been discriminating steadily against the interests of Chicago. When the fact is taken into consider ation that the freight traffio of the Western roads represents 75 per cent. of the gross revenue, some estimate may 1i6 formed as to the fluctuation 1A stocks that may be caused by any lead ing road so manipulated, and the in. jury to Chicago suoh a roule is capable of doing when administeredin tir in terest of Wall street. The hope ex. pressed that the Milwaukee and St. Paul and the Northwestern may jain forces long enough to cff-otnally sup press this outside pirating and bring the business back to its legitimate course through Chicago. ROUSEHOLD, CHILDREN's TEETIl. - Children's teeth are olten neglected by patents, who give the young mouths little atten t Ilon until decay aud the child's com plaints of toothache warn them of their duty. Even if they know there is de cay going on they dismiss the subject with the thought that they are only the first or temporary teeth,wbich will soon be rep!aced by the permanent ones. This Is a great mistake, as the regular ity of the second set depends largely upon the healthy condition of the first, which should be retained in their places until the second set is ready to appear, when they will generally drop out or become loosened, and are easily re moved. Much misobief is done by pre. mature decay and the extraction of the temporary. th'et.

HOW TO Wish BAinKTs.--Since thie introduction of sulphur into the priocess of finishing and bleaching, many blankets are damaged from the want of knowing the beat mrode of treatment in washing them. The Biret time .blankets require ivashing, put themn into cold water and allow them to rempin about twelve, ;hours, then rinse them well in clear cold water. By this simple proness the sulphur (which is used by the mantrufacturer in bleaching) will be removed, and naoth ing will then. be required buti tepid water, pure soap and labor to produc a perfectly clean and uninjured blan ket. Allow no scouring liquors, wash ing powders, soda or hot water to be used, as these are calculated to pro d uce a muddy,. blotchy color--to 1m paverish and tender the fabric-giving the general appearance of an old, worn out blanket. Dry quickay immediate ly after washing. These instruections apply equally well to the washi~ng of flannels. . :FEW persons are aware of the prac. Alce of cooks adding common soda to. the water in which vegetables -are boiled. When it is remnembered that :washing soda is used wheni something stronger than soap is required to re mrove dirt from clothesor boards,it may readily be imagined how injurious suich a caustic ingredient mrust b9 wigni In troduced, into the stomach Ia' combina Lion with~ food. In families Where s'da as pae'mitted for culinary purpos'ea, it is the bl-carbonate of soda which is in tended, though nothing of the kind is required in order to make vegetables gieen, if ?properly Icookeda Many ob scure' alments'might be traced to this objectiongble. practice, which should be strictly pgohibited. It is easy for a pr acticed and, observant eye to detect the peculbar light green which is pro duced by soda being added to the water in which vegetables are boiled. The caustic nature of the common soda may be understood when it is known that a solution of that soda Is used to burn away warts. QUEEN OF PUDDINS-NO one can miss having this pudding a success who follows the recIpe: To a quart of cold milk add a pint of grated bread crumbs.
