HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
People Who Are Subject to Giddiness

If |>ork is voun<_'. the lean will break

Delicate-colored silk should never be
laid away in white paper, an the chloride

drawi out the color.
People who are snbiect to attacks of
giddiness or faintners, and those who
suffer from palpitation and other senm
of discomfort at the heart, should not
bathe.

and this is done every day by some (rood

when the skins will ferment. Turn out
and rinse. The bottle will be as bright
and clenn as when new.
When yon feel the pricking pain on
the eyelid that announces the coming of
a sty, use as an application very strong
black tea. or simply the tea leaves moist
ened with a little water, put in a small
bag of muslin and laid over the eyelid.
Moisten again hs it dries. This, if used
before the sty gets well nnder way, will
generally drive it away.
Opening the window in front of a stove
will stop a smokingchimiipy. The smok
ing is sometimes caused by an insntii
cient supply of air. Oftentimes simply
fanning the tire vigorously will stop the
smoking. Nothing is more annoying
than a smoking chimney. Two openings
! in the same Hue will cause thi« trouble;
i therefore, it ia necessary to make sep
arate tines for every tire. A tree above
; the chimney may stop the draft ; this
can be remedied only by cutting down
the tree.
Dueon of I nderfeedlnr.
Underfeeding ruins more livestock in
the West than overfeeding. Grave as
; is the objection to pampered breeding
animals, yet where there is one K'ast
ruined by an exce-sof heating there
are a dozen well-bred ones suffered to
lap-e into a state of hopeless degeneracy
i'va failnre in the case of young stock to
keep them growing or by neglecting to
provide a sutlii ient ration to support
breeding animals against the taxes of
nature. Feed the younsters generously
on proper food stutts, and when tfierare
matured, if of the right fetamp.jthey will
not rrqnire extra care. Prof, ftanborn
argues that there is even more in feed
than in breed, and the facts are n.it all
against him. Whatever is worth keep
ing at all in the way of farm stock is
worth keeping well.
Treatment of ISntter.
Achurner in Rural Lije hold* tha<
granulated butter can be washed and
cooled to a better advantage if the water
is allowed to percolate through tb« mass,
of butter while the churn i- at rest. To
revolve it, he holds, lias the tendency to
mass the grannies ere the chilling effect
of the water has taken away some of the
adhesive naureof the globules.
We think he is sound up to a certain
point; that is, practice his method until
he is sure the whole mass is cold enough
to keep it in granules—then they can he
washed thoroughly without adhering to
each other. After so much is secured
the right temperature to pack can beo'>
tained by usin<r water warm enough to
raise the mass in a few minutes toalxnit

Work for Ruin; IV. >s.
It is so often necessary to work over
hours in pleasant, weather thai when a
rainy day come- in summer the farmer
may prolitablv devote it partly to intel
lectual iu.provement. lie can at least
then take time toestimafeoirefnlly what
needs to he done and plan as to the liest
way of doing it. This will require study
and prove the. best possible intellectual
exercise. It at least requires as much
exeeu ive ability to keep everything mi
a large farm in order and" working
smoothly as it do s to manage a manu
facturing or commercial business.
Compelling Stock to Bal r<...«1.
Animals can possibly he wintered or
Kept at other seasons on food that con
tains barely enough nutrition to sustain
life Bat whenever this is the fact no
profit ne. d be expected from stock thus
fed. All the advantage to the farmer
from feeding stock comes from feeding
more than is needed for barely retaining
the same condition. There must 1,,, in
crease either of Hesh. milk or wo.,i l,e
fore there can be any profit, and this re
quires generally good feeding.
Cuttiiijr Ti,,,,,t1.y T..., Karly.
matllei' timothy is in bloom its lien
makes the hay dusty when cut. It is
best possibly to cut when the stock bursts
into head l>efor« blossoming; but, if the
grass cann well be cut then, defer the
cutting until the blossom falls. The hay

its deficiende* can be made up with lib
