CoLoRED CHEESE,


The "slow poisoning" by deleteri-
Gus additions is often much faster
than many persons imagine. Let me
state a fact that came under my notice
several years ago:
A lot of highly colored cheese was
stored next door to the residence of
my father. Doors closed 1 cannot
say how long; but on being opened
the dead rats were lying in every di-
rection! such rat holes IN cheeseil !
they had probably eaten a little too
much.
Why is it that.we generally have q
sore mouth for several DAYS after a
nibble at this modern colored cheese.
and are compelled to desist, and wait
two or three weeks to get well; and
then if we taste it again have to pay
the penalty as before?
In days of yore, we could eat the
pure article, made by our mothers
and sisters, two or three times a day,
year after year, and nothing of the
kind did we ever know. | believe
that the amount consumed would soon
be doubled, if not quadrupled, if the
factories would drop all this matter
of coloring. And l hnow for myself
and some others that we should use
ten times the quantity we have dared
to consume of this high seasoned and
false colored article found in nearly
every provision store in the city,
Cor. Prairie Farmer.

HOWIGREW CORN.

The soil is sandy loan, and grew
potatoes the previous year. On a
portion of the lot / hauled, early in
February, at the rate of forty-seven
loads Of well-rotted manure to the
acre. and spread it, evenly over the
surface on the snow. To the balance
of the lot / applied the same amount
and quality of manure to the acre,
just before planting. I plowed the
ground about four inches deep, and
planted the medium sized Yellow
Dent corn.
The difference in growth and yield
between the early manured and the
late was very remarkable indeed.
The early manured was decidedly
ahead of the late. from the time it
came up till harvest. 1t ripened ear
lier, and yielded one hundred and
sixty bushels of sound ears to the acre,
and the other one hundred and TWEEN
ty bushels per acre. nus s,i-
During nearly thirty years expert
ence, / have. never but once before
this obtained SO heavy yield and !
think it is about as much asscan be OBJ
tanned. The variety 1 plant yields
three pecks of shelled corn to the
bushel of ears. I select the earliest
ripened, soundest and best formed
ears for seed, and, from stalks bearing
two or more ears, if sound and large
but never plant ..snubbins. Cor. OF
Rurdl NelC Yorker.

The loye eff the soil is one of the
most common passions of humanity.
To own even a thirty foot lot is the
ambition of the poorest; and the rich
are never satisfied except they can
sleep in a grand mansion. Except
among the class of young sports,
whose oats require a deal of sowing,
there are but few of our citizens who
don't crafty their desire for holding
real estate by buying q little spot
with cottage upon it as. soon as pos
sible, and then and there anchor, set
tie down, and spend their leisure mo-
ments in. beautifying and improving
it. a 800 38 nsi5.fsa Hlat
Everybody knows there's no place
like home, and SO every body with any
sense tries TO establish home as soon
as money can be earned to buy ii /; and
we count among the actual and by no
means slight benefactors of the race,
the capitalists who sell on easy terms
and hold the burden of homes until
the purchaser cay pay them. The
savings banks are also doing a great
deal in this direction. and many a
poor man can thank them, not only
for the privilege of having roof over
his head, but for the happiness which
comes from the pure enjoyment of a
home. .e,,.---
A nation of happy homes is sure of
IFS foundations, and need not fear that
domestic broils will break it asunder.
at least half of the disgracefully long
calenders of Chicago, Connecticut and
Indiana divorce courts come from the
people who drift around the world
from boarding house to hotel, and
find their conjugal felicity. very thin
when spread over as much surface.
1t is then, the best thing young
couple can do to stop their billing and
cooling alarms length, and settle down
in cozy little house, paid for if pos
sible, but bought any way, even if
there has to be mortgage. Tt is one
of the best preservatiYes of love
known, for conjugal affection fitters
away as easily when exposed to pub
lie criticism as love letter excites
laughter III court room.-Reaz Is

REaNs- FOR GaRGETIN cows.

Some six OF seven years ago / saw
beans recommended for gargetin in cows
BY a gentleman who bad cow so
badly affected that she was nearly
spoiled, but she got to stack of beans
and ate what she wanted. The result
was she was cured. Since then l
haye used nothing else, and it has
never failed te cure as yet. Beans,
we all know, will do no harm, and it
is medicine that all farmers have on
hand, or ought to have. AT first |
soaked a pint to a feed, and mixed
them with meal to make the COW eat
them but now l keep ground beans,
as l think the meal is the best. This
fall l had very promising two-year
old heifer become SO bad in one teat
that could scarcely milk it, and the
milk was very ehuncky and bloody.
l gave her one pint of the meal mixed
with other meal, for four days, when
she was as well as eyer, and has re-
NAMED so. think if cows were to
be fed with bean meal two or three
times a year they. would not be troub-
led with garget.-Cor. Neic England

AATCHING CHICKENS BY STEAM
The Salem (Ohio,) Journal thus tells
how chickens are hatcAed by steam !:
Upon invitation of Major M. Ell. Cry
er, we visited on last Friday his extern
sive and well regulated poultry yards,
a short drive west of town where we
witnessed for the first time the nov
ell and interesting operation of hatch
ang chickens by steam. The " "Incu-
bator" is square box through which
glass tubes convey steam and heat,
and is kept at Temperature of one
hundred and one degrees. Itis diyid-
ed into two apartments, one the egg
drawer, where the eggs are hatched.
the other where they are kept until
sufficiently old and strong TO be taken
in charge by the " Artificial Mother
another ingenious contrivance, and
which evidently takes better care OF
the yo ung than Toany natural mothers.
One hundred and eighty eggs are con-
sidered a :" setting" and twenty days
are required in Matching.
HORSE RADISH FOR ANIMALS.
An exchange says horse radish is an
excellent condiment to mix with the
food of cows to give them an appe-
lite, and make them sleek and thrifty.
1t should be fed freely to all animals
that are not well, and it will be oil
great Service to working oxen troub-
led with heat. If given to cows in
doses of pint day, mixed with po-
tatoes or bran, it will prevent or re-
lieve cows of the disease called cake
in the bag. Few animals will refuse
10 eat ii, and some will eat greedily
ts.much as a half peck at time.

NAPOLEOS's FLOWERS.

The violet is the emblematic flower
of the Bonapartes, as the lily is of the
Bourbons. When Eugenia agreed to
accept Napoleon's offer of marriage,
she expressed ii only by appearing one
evening dressed in an exquisite violet
toilet-violets in her hair, in her dress
even bunch in her hand. Louis Ma
poleon understood, and it was his only
answer. Napoleon while Consul,
selected this as his flower. 1t was
through Josephine asking him to
bring her a boquet of them on her
birthday-a desire he was only able
to serve after great difficulty. He cul-
tivated them assiduously while pris-
oner at St. Helena, and they were pro-
ifuseIy planted over the grave of Jo-
sephine. After his death, his coffin
was covered with the humble flowers
he loved. 1t is even said that in ear
lier days of Louis Napoleon he was
silently made acquainted with whom
his secret friends were by cautions
display of violets.
