"If you would be ill sup and go to bed" is another way in which the truth is expressed; the proverb that says, "Who goes supperless to bed, all night tumbles and tosses," is in apparent contradiction to it; but it is easy t,o see that what is here meant is the restlessness which fol- lows £&stings ; supper taken at a suitable and sufficient time before retiring to rest being rewarded by quiet slumbers. The waning diges- tive powers of old age are perhaps hinted at in the saying, "He wrongs not an old man who steals his sup- per."

When circumstances are favor- able, its in the case of farmers who t build up their herds by raising the, progeny, the horns may be prevent- ed from growing by a simpleand practically painless method, and the eltstoirl of preventing the growth of horns is becoming more popular and more generally pray I tioed tender all conditions, The calf should be treated not later than one week after birth, prefer- ably when it is from three to five - days old, Tieagent to bo used may be either caustic soda or caustic pot- ash, both of which may be procur- ed ie the drug stores in the form of sticks about the thickness of an or- dinary lead pencil and five inches • long. These caustics lnust,be hand- led with care, as they dissolve the cuticle and may make the bands or fingers sore. The preparation of . the calf consists in first clipping the hair from the parts, 'washing clean with soap and warm water and thoroughly drying with a towel or cloth, The stick' of caustic should be wrapped in a piece of 'paper to protect the hands and fingers, leaving one end of the stick uncovered. Moisten the uncovered end slightly and rub it on the horn but- tons or little pointe which may be felt on the calf's head, first on one side and then the other, alternate- ly, two or three times on each, al- lowing the caustic td dry after each application. Be very careful to ap- ply the caustic to the horn buttons- only. uttonsonly. If it is brought in contact with the surrounding skin it will cause pain. Be very careful also not to have too much moisture on the stick of caustic a,s it will re- move the slain if allowed to run down over the face. After treat- ment, keep the calf protected from rain, as water on the head after the application of caustic will cause it to run down ever the face. This must be carefully avoided. Either caustic soda or caustic potash alone, without the admixture of other substances, answers the pur- pose very satisfactorily, In the very young calf the horn button, or point that will ultimate- ly develop into a horn, has scarcely any attachment to the skull and may be felt as a small button em- bedded in the skin. In this early stage it mar easily be removed with a sharp knife or a pair of scissors, but even then caustics should be applied to kill any remaining cell life belonging to this germ point, otherwise there may bo same sub- sequent irregular horn growth, which is more or less of a disfigure- ment. Poultry Hints. Bumble foot comes from the hens alighting on hard floors from high roosts. Sell all the roosters not needed for breeding. The day before shipping live fowls, feed hard grain. Dressed poultry should go to market undrawn. Commission - men prefer it so. I Fed in large quantities, salt is poisonous to fowls, but when fed in moderato quantity, at the rate of one ounce to every 100 fowls, is beneficial There is such a thing as getting the hens too fleshy. They are apt to become lazy and sit around all the time. Stop feeding such heavy food, Don't let food become soured. Sweep up and destroy what the fowls do not eat after being fed. Pigweed. - Prevent pigweed from going to seed, and avoid sowingsho seed .;ti grain and grass seeds. Freemen and thorough cultivation of the seed bed before sewing the seed will check growth in grain fields,' Good plowing, thorough cultiva- tion, with some hand Boeing and pulling, will eradicate the weed from cultivated crops. It does not give serious trouble in fields where crops are grown in a good rotation. It is most troublesome in gardens, but shallow cultivation and hoeing or pulling by hand will eradicate it. Always a Better To -marrow. So long as a man lits the courage. to face one more day so long will he be a factor in the race for material success. Be whose past looms up constantly in front of him, who lives in retrospeot, has cheated the boatman of the Styx and <encumbers the machinery of this world. To live is to be up and doing to -day, not to be minting on the things that were, but to figure on the things that aro and will be, not to say that to -day is nob so good as yesterday, but to declare that to- morrow will be the best day the universe has ever seen. And to- morrow is always a better (law than to -day.
