almost any Drug Store.
Dr. Hunnicutt says: “I have used the
Turkish Liniment constantly for last ten
years, and unhesitatingly pronounce it the
best Liniment I have ever seen.”
Blood Tonic!
This great Blood Purifier was not learned
from a race of naked savages. It is no “In
dian Medicine.” but a scientific preparation,
carefully compounded from the very best
Blood Tonics known to the medical profes
sion ; nor is its claim to public confidence
based on the wild iqpantations of wandering
Gypsies, or the senseless mumblings of an
Indian squaw. It stands upon the accumu
lated wisdom and research of nineteen cen
turies. Since Moses proclaimed that ‘ The
blood is the life,” the Medical Profession,
in all enlightened countries, has studied,
carefully, patiently and laboriously, the com
position of the Blood, its tendencies to dis
ease, and the medicines that make and keep
it pure. The Blood Tonic is no secret com
pound. Any physician can see the formula.
We only claim for it the best known Blood
Medicines carefully and scientifically combin
ed. For more than a quarter of a century
we have prescribed it with the most satis
factory results, and if space permitted could
furnish thousands of testimonials. In the
reatment of Secondary Syphilis, Chronic
Rheumatism, Scrofula. Pimples, Old Sores,
Catarrh in the Head, Eczema, and all impu
rities of the Blood, from whatever cause
arising, the Medical Profession has never
found a better medicine than the Blood
Tonic.
TURKISH LINIMENT!
For the cure of Neuralgia, Rheumatism,
Toothache, Sprains, Burns, Stiff Joints,
Bunions. Contraction of the Muscles, etc.,
the Turkish Liniment has no equal. It
will frequently relieve headaehe in two
minutes. Saturate a piece of paper with
the Liniment, and hold it to the forehead
till it burns freely, and the headache will be
relieved nine times in ten. It is made ot
Camn|ior, Chloroform, Ether, Ammonia,
etc., ra concentrated form, and put up neat
ly with India rubber stoppers to prevent loss
of strength.
The money will be returned to anyone not
satisfied after using a bottle of this Liniment.
It is unequaled as a remedy in the treatment
of all diseases in Horses, where liniments
arc used, such as Qalls, Sprains, Bruises,
Cracked Heels, Windgalls, Sweeney, Fistu
la, Scratches, etc., etc. Price 25c and 50c
per bottle.

Constipated Bowels.
Db. E. S. Lyndon* —Dear Sir: I can never
find words to express ray gratitude to you
for the incalculable benefit I have derived
from the use of “Smith’s Liver Tome.”
For two years I suffered with'Liver disease
in the worst form, and never had any per
maneht relief until the first of last November
when I procured a bottle of Liver Tonic.
Since then I have used only two and a half
bottles, and am entirely well. I have not
felt a symptom of the disease since taking
the first dose. I had previously tried sev
eral physicians and several other remedies,
and ail failed to affect me beneficially.

TOPICS OP INTEREST TO THE
FARMER AND IIOVSEWIFK.
Spring Plowing.
Fall-plowed laud should be cross
plowed in the spriug, for the reason that
it is consolidated and packed too much
after the six months’ rest to be put in
good condition for the crops. This,
however, does not apply to sod land
which has been plow ed and should not
be deeply distur!>cd. This land should
be worked by a cultivator three or four
inches deep, so that the sod is not dis
turbed, ami then thoroughly harrowed
with a harrow with short teeth. Plow
ing is a necessary means for the good cul
ture of the land and should be followed
by harrowing frequently, until the
soil is made fine and mellow and
compact. Thorough tillage of this kin 1
is indispensable for good crops. To sow
or plant on fall-p.’owed land without this
spring working is a great mistake. If
the land is too wet for working it needs
draining.— New York Timas.
Potash as an Insecticide.
During the recent annual convention
’Wl£i tb® auspices
of the state board of horticulture, in a
discussion on fiisecticiijes, a member of
San Jose gave his experience with potash.
Being possessed of an old orchaf.i ybout
the time the scale became prevalent at
San Jose, he had ample opportunity of
testing insecticides. He started out on
the basis of potash. He gave the prefer
ence at first to potash, because there is
jjothing lost in using it, for if SSO be
spent to ppt it on the orenard he gets it
back in the course of a few years. He
believes that without potash one will not
get very good fruit.
Mr. Brittan, the San Jose member,
started in on the potash experiment some
eight years ago, and for two years has
not seen a sign of the scale in the old
orchard that had been so badly infested.
He began by using pure potash, or con
centrated lye, which contains
per cent, of potash. He dissolved this
m water at the rate of one pound of lye
to four gallons of water, ana thoroughly
drenched the trees with the solution by
means of a small force-pump. He gave
them all they needed and let it go into
the ground. This treatment, continued,
had finally rid his trees of the scale.
Additional experiments have con
vinced Mr. Brittan that all washes for
the extermination of insects should be
based on potash, not only for the imme
diate effect but for the beneficial effect
afterward.— New York World.
Fatal Overfeeding.
The owner of seventy-five hogs, kept
good air, etc. —complains that fifteen were
suddenly taken with “dizziness as if they
had blind staggers,” and in twenty-four
hours were dead. As adding to the mys
tery of the case it is said: “They had
every comfort and attention; good water
and all the ground feed they would eat
up clean.” Instead of being a matter
for surprise, this result was the unavoid
able effect of the ground feed; for all
that a hog will eat up clean is decidedly
too. much for safety. A pig will eat
until it has no room for another morsel,
and will leave the trough and return to
take a few more mouthfuls. The con
sequence is repletion; plethora; excess
of blood; disturbance of the heart's
action; congestion of the brain by the
engorgement of the blood vessels, and
apoplexy, which is attended by “dizzi
ness, as if the pigs had blind staggers. ”
Let us consider how it would be with
ourselves.
A man provides himself with a rich
banquet three times a day; he fills him
self with meat, pastry, cakes and pies
until he cannot swallow annother mouth
ful and then lies down and sleeps, to
wake and eat again. In a few days he
secs myriads of stars dancing before his
eyes in broad daylight; his head swims
and he staggers as he walks; his skull
feels as if it would burst and his tem
ples throb; still he gorges himself and
the surfeit only ranker him still more
ready to eat. That his brain is seriously
affected may be known by the horrid
dreams; the nightmares which disturb
his sleep. In a short time the blood is
filled with bile; eyes become yellow;
tongue is coated with dark brawn fur;
breath is foul, boils break out over the
body and the corrupt matter is poured
out from the blood. By and by typhoid
fever appears and in a community where
unwholesome feeding is the habit the
disease becomes epidemic and scores die.
A physician of large practice in the
South declares that the common typhoid
fever prevalent every year is the ” neces
sary result of “hog and hominy”—an ex
cess of carbonaceous food ana a want of
nitrogenous elements to balance the deli
cate functions of the system. In our
physical natures and functions we are
like the lower animals, and approach
more nearly to hogs than we are disposed
to admit—subject to like results from
like causes and too apt to suffer from un
wholesome and ill-balanced eating and
drinking. Our domestic animals’ appe
tites are encouraged by every persuasive
to riot in excess and wear out the vital
organs by overwork. And blind stag
gers, or apoplexy, is one of the common
est results among swine, which are the
most subjected to this fatal overfeeding,
perhaps excepting the direful cholera,
or more truly, typhoid fever, which is
another result occurring from a length
ened course of engorgement among those
which escape the more sudden malady.

Farm and Garden Notes.
When skim milk or buttermilk can be
secured at from two to three cents per
gallon, it is one of the cheapest foods
that can be given to chickens. It may
largely take the place of flesh, and will
induce them to lay eariy and often.
Cuttings of roses, heliotropes, etc., will
grow better if taken off at the junction
of the old and new wood, and should be
cut off just below a joint or bud, as the
roots start from that point, and if a bud
is not left near or close to the base the
cutting is liable to decay in the soil.
The beet draws its nourishment from
an area of twelve square feet for each
plant. This has been proved by explor
ing to the ends of the roots carefully, it
being found that these extend downward
and outw'ard in all directions for several
feet. It is evident that where size of
root is desired the plants must be given
plenty of room.
Soils are formed by the disintregation
of rock and the decomposition of veget
able matter, The rock furnishes the
mineral part and the vegetation the or
ganic part. Hence the character of the
soil will vary with the kind of rock from
which it was produced, the extent of the
decomposition it has undergone and the
kind and amount of organic matter that
is mixed with the decomposed rock.

me cutting M dry cornstalks leaves
some sharp points, 'which injure the
stomach, and occasionally with fatal
results. But the tendency of cut corn
stalks, if left in large heaps, is to heat
quickly, which will so soften them that
meal will adhere, and can thus be fed
without loss, as cows will eat butts when
thus prepared. If com is cut early the
coarser parts of the sjglk are even more
nutritious than the tine part near the
tassel.
* It Is more profitable in the long run
everywhere to feed all the coarse grain
grown on the farm than to sell it. More
rea ly money is, however, secured by the
latter pinn, and the necessities of most
farmers oblige them to pursue the more
wasteful policy of exhausting fertility
till the soil will no longer pay for culti
vation. When once the exhaustive pro
cess is begun it becomes every year
more difficult to make a change for the
better.
Fruit, growers agree that bagging is
the only sure means of protection from
grape rot. Grape vines nmy be protected
by laying down the vines in the fall and
throwing sufficient dirt over them to
keeji them in place, professor Tracy
says that the grape rot is not the result
of a disease, as the term is generally un
derstood, but is due to a fungus which
comes of spores conveyed to the grapes
through the air. It requires water for
the spores to germinate in. hence, if kept
dry, the grapes will be free from rot.
When grown in dry situations, grapes
are less liable to rot than when grown
on wet lands.
Sheep can best be fattened at from one
and a half to two years old. Previous to
this time the wool should pay a reason
able profit upon the keeping. At this age
sheep will take on more fat from the same
amount of feed, and the mutton be of
better quality than if held longer. The
mutton market is most active from about
the Ist of February until the Ist of May,
after this period the supply generally
being full and prices lower. Sheep fat
tened for the early market require more
feed, better shelter and care, but the
price received generally pays for this ex
tra cost. Those turned into the market
during the summer or fall have the ad
vantage of green feed supplied at less
cost than dry.
Recipes.
To Broil Ham Nicely.—Stice the
meat from the ham raw, as thin as you
can, then put it into a pan ot cold water;
set it on the stove in a stewpan and let it
come to a boil; then have your griddle 1
hot, and broil the meat with a little but
ter dropped into the pan and a plentiful
sprinkling of black pepper.
Brown Betty.— Cut into thin slices
several large apples, have ready buttered
pudding dish; put into this' layer of
grated bread crumbs, then a layer of
sliced apples; over these sprinkle sugar,
and so on alternately, bread, apples, su
gar, until pudding'dish is full, letting
the top layer ue of bread crumbs; on this
place three large lumps of butter, put in
oven and bake brown. Serve hot with
butter and sugar sauce.
Farmers’ Fruit Cake.— Soak three
cups of dried apples over night in warm
water; chop slightly in the morning, and
then simmer two hours or more in two
cups of molasses until the apples resem
ble citron. Make a cake of two eggs,
one cup sugar, one cup sweet milk,
three-fourths cup butter, one and a half
teaspoons soda, flour to make a rather
thick batter, spice in plenty; put in the
apples and bake in a quick oven. This
is very nice.'
Milk Biscuit. — Warm one quart of
new milk, and cut up into it a quarter of
a pound of butter; stir well together and
let it cool; then add half a cup of yeast,
a teaspoonfal of salt and as mueh sifted
flour as will make a dough stiff enough
to roll. Let it stand in a warm place
until quite light, then roll out about an
inch thick, and cut into small round
cakes. Place them on buttered tins, and
let them rise again; stick each one with
a fork, and bake twenty minutes in a
quick oven.
Chicken and Cohn Soup.— Even in the
country’ where old fowls must be dis
posed of in some way, it is seldom econ
omical to boil them to pieces just to
make soup. But if you will save the
liquor in which these have been boiled
the day before for the table a delightful
soup may be supplied good enough for
city boarders and company. Take two
quarts of the liquor left from boiling a
chicken, cleared of fat after it is cold;
one can of corn, chopped; a tablespoon
ful of butter in one of flower, one table
spoonful of minced parsley and the same
of green onion tops; add pepper and salt
and one enp of boiling milk. Boil the
corn and liquor slowly together for an
hour after they begin to bubble. Rub
thoroughly through a colander, season
and add herbs. lleat to boiling, stir in
the flower mixed with butter, simmer
five minutes, and pour it into tureen aud
boiling milk.
Household Hints.
Galvanized iron pails for drinking
water should not be used. The zinc coat
ing is readily acted upon by water, form
ing a poisonous oxide of zinc.
If you wish to keep a sharp knife don’t
put it in hot grease; stir your potatoes
while frying or turn meat with a fork or
an old case-knife kept for the purpose.
£Evcn pressed-glass tumblers should
never be set one inside the other. What
goes in will not always come out, despite
the proverb to the contrary. Or, to speak
more accurately, if it does come out it
may be in unpleasant'v small fragments.
Wet boots and shoes may be kept from
shrinking out of shape in the drying if
as soon as they are taken from the feet
they are tightly stuffed with newspapers.
These should not be removed until the
shoes arc perfectly dry, as they compose
a sort of last to prevent unequal shrink
age and consequent loss of symmetry.
In washing forks, spoons, or cups
which have been employed in eating eggs,
it is best to make an Application of cold
water with a mop before plunging them
into the boiling suds. Hot water cooks
the egg and thus renders it more difficult
to remove. Common table salt is said to
be excellent for removing egg tarnish
from silver.
While oxalic-acid, salts of lemon,
sweet milk, and vinegar are all of benefit
in helping to eradicate ink spots, nothing
is superior for white linen or cotton goods
to chlorinated soda. It is sold by all
druggists. A few drops (loured upon tho
stain will remove it within five minutes,
leaving onjy a slight yellowish tinge,
which will disappear entirely when the
article lias been washed. The use of
chlorinated soda must he avoided with
colore'l or with silk goods. It takes the
dye from the former a* well us the ink,
and gee* still further with the silk, de-
stroking the fabric. It is unsurpassed
for white wash materials, however, as it
does not injure th ■ goods in the least.
This preparation of soda is poisonous,
and should be kept well out of the reach
of children.
A Changeable Toad.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Timer, writing from Southern California,
says j We had taken to the bed of the
mountain stream that in tensof thousands
of years had made the mighty canon. It
was filled with huge bowlders, strewn
and tumbled about in chaotic confusion,
as if a stream of rocks had done the work
and water was altogetner a secondary
consideration. The rocks had been pol
ished by the rush and spray of years, and
to bound from one to another without
slipping or falling required no little skill.
As I was about to take a leap and had
my gun well in hand as a help, my com
panion seized me, and in un excited
•whisper told me to look.
“A rattlesnake?” I asked, hauling back
and sitting down heavily.
“No,” was the reply, given in such a
manner that I became convinced that he
saw either a grizzly ora mountain lion.
“Don't mqyc,” tin l reaching around t
ae tallied out, not a weapon,tut a pocket
microscope, which, with great caution,
he applied to a small bump on a bowlder
before him.
“Is that what you are breaking a man
’>o for?” said I, as flic bump became
a frog. ,
“Is that &tt?” re'orted my friend.
“Why, man, that frog, or treetoad, lam
convinced is anew species. If I should
describe it as Ilyla Jonesii you might per
haps think it of some importance. Why,
look at it! It’s one of the most remark
able examples of protective resemblance
you ever saw.”
A close examination of the diminutive
cause of all thisexcitemeut showed that
it was indeed wonderfully protected,and
I had almost stepped upon the animal
that, safe in his disguise, had not moved.
At a casual glance the toad would have
been taken for a prominence on the
bowlder, and now that attention was
directed toward it the mimicry ssemed
all the more striking, as the animal al
most exactly resembled the stone in color.
The latter was a spotted granite peculiar
to the mountains here, the spots being
quite large and pronounced and of ir
regular shhpe, evidently deposits of dark
mica, the remainder of the rock being
white or nearly so. This mottled sur
face was reproduced on the toad's back
as if painted, and even the delicate legs,
with their disc-tipped toes, shared the
ornamentation.
“I’ve seen green tree toads on green
leaves,” said my companion, “but this
beats them all. It is evidently a tree toad
adapted to a life among the bowlders of
this stream. Now to show you the per
fection of this protection I will start it up
and see what the result will be.”
The toad was forthwith touched with
a twig and with a mighty leap landed
upon a rock that w*as nearly white, round
and smooth. We sat down upon a neigh
boring bowlder and waited for the change
that nature was to make in the little har
lequin. In five minutes by the watch
this had taken place. The black spots
that had represented the mica were
rapidly fading out, the other portions
also losing their dark tint. Quickly the
change went on, and in a comparatively
short time the spotted toad was of almost
the exact hue as its new base, and as in
conspicuous as it had been before, and
would, as in the former case, have been
passed by as a mere prominence upon the
rock. Another touch, and the little
creature sprang upon another bowlder,
from which it was finally driven upon
one almost black. Again the curious
change was noticed, dark patches coming
out and the skin assuming the same tint
as it had while on th" granite. The spots
continued to grow, increasing their di
ameter until at lat they all fused to
gether and the toad became almost black
and equally as inconspicuous as before.
In an attempt to drive it upon an aider it
finally escaped.
The Manufacture of Diaries.
“The manufacture of diaries,” saida
stationer to a reporter, “though one of
the largest industries in the country, is
carried on by only three firms, two in
New York city and one in Cambridge
port, Mass.
‘ ‘The reason why there are so few in
the business is the enormous amount of
capital required to carry on Hie undertak
ing. The amount of capital required
runs up into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. It is a singular fact that the
president of the largest of the three great
diary manufacturing companies was at
one time the foreman in the establishment
over which he pre-ides. These firms
have now taken the first step to manufac
ture diaries for 1887. It is what you might
call a long-winded business. You have
got to go into it on an im
meu=e scale in order to make
anything out of it, and these
three firms have had such long experi
ence, and ciphered the thing down so
fine, that I don’t suppose any one else
would care to start up in opposition.
They are buying their paper now for the
diaries of 1887. Two of these houses
manufacture one million diaries apiece a
year, the other manufactures two million.
Another New York firm make some diar
ies—probably fifteen thousand or twenty
five thousand a year. There are three
sizes of diaries made, 24m0, 18mo, and
12mo; and then there is narrow Bmo, long
Bmo, long long Bmo, and broad Bmo.
There is cap, there is quarto, and long
quarto. The different sizes have one day
to a page, or two, three or four to a page.
Their retail cost varies from $4 to nine
teen cents. There is ten times as much
demand for diaries now as there was
twenty years ago. The diary trade alone
of a well-known stationer on Nassau
street, amonnts to $7,000 a year. Not
withstanding the enormous number of
diaries made, there is a less number in
the market to-day than I have known in
the past twenty years. There is a great
demand for the finer diaries now, and the
better class of goods sell much more
readily than they did a few years ago.”—

Hancock as a Poet.
Forty-six years ago, before going to
West Point, General Hancock wrote the
following lines in the album of a lady
now living at Norristown, Penn.:
To my Frienl.
Wreath thy garlands, fairest on 9,
Ere the beams of day are gone.
Soon will olos > each fragrant flower!
Blooming in the garden’s bower,
While the midnight dews are sited,
O'er each sleeping floweret's head.
Wreath thy garlands, fairest one,
Boon will summer’s reign begone:
TenqiesH come with cliillmg breath.
Bweeping o’er the barren heath,
Bo stern winter's track** band
Htalk in fierceness o’er the laud.
Wreath thy garlands, fairest one,
Boon will set life's glow ing sun:
Youth's gay dreams too quickly fade,
Loving heart* are soon betrayed,
Wreath thy garlands ere then' bloom
Fade around thy earthly tomb.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAX
IVoUi and Suggestion*.
A cup of hot water drank before meals
will prevent nausea and dyspepsia.
One in a faint should be laid flat on
his back; then loosen his clothes and let
him alone.
The Australian Chemist and Druggist
says that essence of peppermint painted
on a burn causes the pain to cease at
once.
It is said by one who has tried it that
cayenne pepper sprinkled upon hot flan
nels will afford- instant relief to persons
troubled with neuralgia.
Never wash in warm water before go
ing out in the cold air. Such a practice
will roughen the skin. Warm water
should be used only before retiring.
A growing inability to sleep in sick
ness is ominous of a fatal result; in ap
parent health, it indicates the failure of
the mind, and madness; so on the othei
hand, in disease or dementia, a very
slight improvement in the sleeping should
be hailed as the harbinger of restoration.
On ‘‘Letting It Alone.*'
Says the Leeds, (Eng.) Mercury. There
is nothing in which men do more wisely,
when they agree to act upon the princi
ple of letting things alone, than when
they apply this rule to the slanders and
misrepresentations which are directed
against themselves. If only they can
possess their souls in patience, and sit
down in quietness and self-control when
they are misunderstood or misrepresent
ed, they may rest assured that they will
gain a much more certain and easy vic
tory than if they insist upon doing battle
with all whom they regard as their ene
mies. The truth is great, and it will pre
vail, says an old proverb. One may go
further, and say that, after all, the truth
hardly needs to be helped by us. It will
make its wsy by its own weight; it will
prevail by reason of its own strength. So
when the angry storm of slander rages,
■when jealousy has begotten fierce and
hitter passions which in their turn have
armed themselves with cruel weapons of
falsehood and malice, the wise man will
learn the wisdom of letting things alone.
Let the storm blow past; but do not
bruise yourself in fruitless attempts to
hurl back the remorseless blast. Leave
it alone, and’it will shriek around you
harmlessly, and by and by the hurricane
will have blown itself out, and you will
be exactly where you were before it be
gan to rise—that is, provided you have
had the wisdom to let it alone.
Frost Proof Men.
Just as I regard a frost proof lower ani
mal, so also do I respect the frost prool
higher one, man himself. I can see little
to admire in the organization of one who
fears the frost; because, whatever his
mental endowments may be, he lacks an
essential of the perfect physicial man,
that is, manhood. As for boys they are
like persimmons in this, that they nevci
approached maturity until the frost
has sweetened them; and removed the
peculiar acerbity of some green things.
