A HUNDRED CURATIyEs IN ONE.


Not the least striking merit of HOSTEL
TIERS CELEBRATED BITTERS is the
vide scope of their operation as prevent
i've and remedial preparation. AS protect
ace medicine they ward off all the diseases
and their name is legion-that originate in
unwholesome air, impure water, exhausting
heat, or other local and climatic causes.
This alone would be sufficient to secure for
any corrective and alternative medicine a.
worldwide and undying celebrity. But
HOSIETTER'S GREAT SPECIFIC has a
hundred other claims to the confidence and
high consideration of the public. In Dys-
pepsia, Liver Complaint, Chills ana Fever,
Bilious Remittent Fevers, Cholera Morbus
Cramps, Collie, Constipation, General Debil-
ity, Premature Decay, Female Irregulari-
ties, Constitutional Weakness, Sea Sickness,
Diarrhea, Dysentery, Flatulency, Vertigo,
Painting Fits, Mysteries, and all complaints
proceeding from imperfect Digestion, and q
disordered condition of the liver and bowels,
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are
the most powerful, speedy, harmless and
agreeable of all remedies advertised by the
press or administered in family practice.

RASPBERRY VINEGAR.-In localities where
red raspberries are plenty every housekeep-
err should endeavor to have at least q small
quantity of raspberry vinegar. 1t makes
refreshing drink for invalids, and in cases
of fever, it is almost indispensable. The
following method of preparing is given in
an exchange:
Put two quarts of red raspberries, nice
and fresh, into jar and pour over them
quart Of good vinegar. Let it stand twenty
four hours. Strain through flannel bag.
Pour this liquid over two more quarts of
fresh berries, and again letit stand twenty
four hours. Strain again. Allow three
quarters of pound of loaf or good white
sugar to every pint of juice. Stir well in
to the liquid, put it into a stone jar, cover
closely, and set it to stand in kettle of
boiling water to be kept boiling for an
hour Strain it, and bottle ready for use.
A tablespoonful to tumbler of cold water
is the manner of using it.

CURRANT JELLY-An cold Housekeeper"
sends to the Massachusetts Ploughman, the
following recipe for making currant jelly :
The fruit should be as short time from the
bushes as possible. Pick over the currants
to remove any leaves, dirt or twigs; have a
square of wool fam Ell that has been well
washed; put as many currants into it as
woman can squeeze dry. To every bowl Of
juice measure the same Of granulated sugar.
Put the juice into China-lined saucepan;
let it boil, and Immediately add the same
amount of sugar as of juice. Let it boil
twenty minutes, skim it, and it is ready for
the jars or glasses. Let it stand a couple
of days, covered with gauze or muslin.
Cut paper large enough to cover over the
sides of the jars. Dip them in white of egg,
and cover. Use no brandy papers, or paper
next the jelly. Set in cool place.

TRAINING CATTLE TO JUMP.-A Western
farmer says he made it a rule that whenever
cattle are made to pass fence, whether
through bars or "slipgap," to leave one
rail for them to pass under. This gives
them a downward tendency, and lessons
their inclination to jump or look upwards,
as they are sure to do when lazy intend
ant throws down a part of the rails and
makes them vault the rest. Cattle may be
taught to 60 over any fence by the careful
training they often get for this end, and
performed as follows: First, sstarve them or
give them poor feed, which will make them
light and restless. AS soon as they go over
the lowest part of the fence after better pro-
vender, make them jump back again, and
put on one more rail, saying, I" guess that
will keep 'em out.'' Next day, Gas of course
they will be in mischief again, repeat the
process, adding another rail; in short
time they will take care of themselves, and
hsrvest the crops without charge -zucher's

Ok YoKEs.-A correspondent of the New
England Farmer who has had large expe-
rience with oxen, gives his opinion as to OK
yokes, as follows: "There are three points
about an OK which are more liable than any
others to be made sore by ordinary work i'll
the yoke, viz: The top Of the neck and the
two shoulders. We often see oxen with
sores on each of these three points. Sore
shoulders are frequently caused by the bow
being too wide. Sometimes it is caused by
the bow being toe square or too sharp on
the outer edge. The bow should be per-
fectly round at the shoulder joint, and OF
such width as to come between the neck and
the shoulder joint. If any man does Lot
believe this, let him put heavy crow-bar
on his shoulder in the right spot, and walk
eighty rods, and then put it on bis shoulder
joint and walk back. The drop OF the
staple, as a general thing, should come
down about halfway from the top of the
ox's neck to the shoulder joint. Oxen
drawing on the lead need a more. crooked
yoke or a longer staple than when drawing
on the nib. AZ

MATURING LANDs.-J. Harris, of the
merican Agriculturisz, gives the following
description of the way in which the finest
crop of grass he ever saw was produced:
The field-about twenty acres,-was ma
nured heavily in the Fall on the sod, and
plowed up and planted to corn, receiving
good culture 1t was then sown with oats,
followed by wheat, and seeded down with a
peck of timothy in the Fall, and six quarts
of clover in the Spring. The wheat re-
ceived good dressing of manure. The ma
nure is not simply rotted straw. 1t is as
rich as can be made from stall-fed cattle
This is the secret of the magnificent crop
of grass 1t will doubtless cut three tons
to the acre, at least-and this fed out will
give more manure, and SO the land is kept
improving. Good grass and clover are the
bases of good farming.

In the last report of the Connecticut
Board of Education, it is stated as a curious
fact that the relative number of children in
the State has been steadily diminishing
during the last forty years. In 1920 the
per centage of children to the population
was about 503 per cent, but in 1860 it had
fallen to less than % per cent, loss of
nearly eight per cent

defense contended that. at the time, on ae-
