Spurious Sirnn.

Chemistry has got the advantage Of
the sugar grower in the matter of manu-.
featuring sirups, and now patronizes the
wheat and potato raiser. A New Or.
leans chemist has found this out. His
attention was directed to a substance
sold by the dealers as sugar-drips, and
afterwards retailed as golden s;rup,
which, upon examination, is FOUND to be
d triumph of science over nature. 1t
does not contain particle of sugar, but
is produced by the action of sulphuric
acid Toll of vitriol) upon starch. He
gives the following as means of deter
mining the character of a strip: Dissolve
teaspoonful of the "golden sirup in a
wine glass of rain water, then add few
grains of tannic acid, when it will turn
as black as ink if the article is spurious.
If not convenient to procure, make a
cup of strong tea (which contains tan
nic), and add teaspooniul of the
"golden," and fair specimen of ink
will appear. The pure cane sirup will
mix with the fluid without PRODUCING
additional changes on the addition OF
fannie acid. Adulteration is every
where, and at the rate we are drifting
now it will not be long before it will be
impossible to procure any article in
common use in pure state. 44

Grape-GrOWers, Maxims,

l. Prepare the ground in fall plant
in spring.
2. Give the vine plenty of manure,
old and well decomposed for fresh
manure excites growth, but it does not
mature it.
3. Luxuriant growth does not always
insure fruit.
4. Dig deep, but plant shallow.
D. Young vines produce beautiful
fruit, but old vines produce the richest.
3. Prune IN autumn to insure growth,
but IN the spring to promote fruitful
ness.
7. Plant your vines before you put up
trel,ises.
8. Vines, like old soldiers, should have
good arms.
9. Prune spurs to one weli-deyeloped
bud for the nearer the old wood the
higher favored the fruit.
10. Those who prune long must soon
climb.
IL. Vine leaves love the sun, fruit the
shade.
II. Every leaf has bud at its base,
and either bunch of fruit or tendril
opposite to it.
10. tenorH is an aDOrtlYe trult
bunch bunch of fruit productiv e
tendril.
IA. A bunch of grapes without a
healthy leaf opposite is like ship at
sea without rudder-it can't CO Le to
port.
Is. Laterals are like politicians-if
not checked they are the worst of
thieves.
Is. Good grapes are like gold-no one
has enough.
II. The earliest grape will keep the
longest, for that which is fully ma
tured is easily preserved.
Is. Grape-eaters are long livers.
10. Hybrids are not always high bred.
20. He who buys the new and untried
varieties should remember that the
sellers maxim is: "Let the buyer look
out for himself"

Record of a Farmers, Club.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
henlan tells what has been accomplished
by the Elmira Farmers Club during the
past three years. 1t commenced with a
dozen members and now has hundred.
They met at first in a small room, now
they have large hall well fitted up,
files of agricultural papers, and thou
sand volumes of standard books. This
club has, through its committees. tested
various new seeds, among which are
some which have proved of greater
value than those in common use, and
by this means it has been able to in
crease the profits of certain branches of
farming. On the other hand, it has ex
posed the falsity of the extravaganza
claims made by the vendors of worth
less seeds, thus saving the general
swindle of all who are guided by its IN
vestigations. 1t has also made success
full efforts towards the improvement of
domestic animals by the introduction of
superior strains of blood, the cost of
which, when borne by such a body, falls
lightly on each individual. This is real
work, it is true, but such work is always
preceded by talk. In this case, it is the
legitimate fruit of the evening meetings.

and need only buy the lumber, nails,
and a.few hinges. At any rate, without
writing further of the matter of cost, it
is safe to say that any farmer, even if
he " owes a good deal,'' or his taxes
are hard to pay" can compass the cost
of an ice-house. He had better sell his
best COW than do without the ice, for
by the aid of the latter the profits of his
dairy will be largely increased in hot
weather. In the house the uses of ice
are SO various that, once introduced, it
becomes q necessity.

Raising Chickens.

| desire to write what l know of rails
ing turkeys and chickens. The recipes
given for curing chickens of the gapes,
such as whites of eggs, corn meal with
pepper, wheat soaked in turpentine, and
number of others, are of little if any
value. The gapes in chickens are caus ed
by small worms getting into the wind
pipe. L have raised thousands upon
thousands of chickens, bought and sold
chickens, and believe that gapes is a
contagious disease, for my chickens
never had them until | brought strange
chickens. | have tried many cures, and
there are none that amount to nything
except the horse-hair. By inserting the
horse-hair in the chickens windpipe YOU
draw the small red worm out. and this
at once relieves the chicken, and the
gapes are cured.
In regard to raising turkeys. the best
plan is 10 feed them on milk made into
a cheese with wheat and wheat screen
ings. In time of rain keep them in the
dry, for when they get wet they get
draggled and die. Corn meal | have
tried, and upon a clear examination I
find that it does not agree with them,
and in some instances kills them. Old
turkeys | think do best out in the cold
on trees, rather than in sheltered places.
Let every farmer be cautious of what
he feeds young turkeys until they are
eight or ten weeks old. After this
period they will know what to eat.

Helpful Hints for Housewives.

CooKIEs.-Two eggs; two cups sugar !;
one cup butter; one teaspoon soda !;
carIaway.
WARM CAKE.-One cup of sugar, one
cup of butter, one of sour milk, Tea
spoonful of salerauus, and two eggs.
DoUGHNUTs.-Th eggs, we'll beaten;
one teacup sugar; one teacup cream
and sour milk; one teaspoon soda; a
little salt.
FRENCH LOAF CAKE.-One pound of
-four, one pound OF sugar, one pound OF
raisins, half pound butter, one cup Of
new milk, five eggs, and spice to Taste.
To GLAZE SHIRTs-To every quart of
starch add teaspoonful Of salt and one
OF white soap, scraped fine. Boil the
starch latter adding hot water until
you have it as thick as you wish.
CHLORIDE OF LIME.-It is said that g a
dish or pan OF chloride of lime set in the
cellar will not only assist in removing
or destroying impure odors, but it will
also drive away vermin.' Try it.
TO HARDEN THE HANDs.-Boil in three
Ii,
tour ounces of pulyerlzed alum, and four
ounces of rock salt. When this pre-
paration is cool wash the hands in it
two or three times day for week or
ten days.
To MAKE PAPER STICK TO WHITE
WASHED WALLs.-Make sizing of COM
mon glue and water, of the consistency
Of linseed oil, and apply with whitewash
or other brush to the wall, taking care
to go over every part, and especially top
and bottom. Apply the paper in the
ordinary way.
A GOOD WAY TO Cook ONIoNs-It is a
good plan to boil onions in milk and
water; it diminishes the strong taste of
that vegetable. 1t is an excellent way
of serving up onions to chop them after
they are boiled, and put them in stew
pan with little milk, butter, salt, and
pepper, and let them stand about fifteen
minutes. This gives them fms flavor,
AMI they can be served up very hot
Rural Home. %
How TO KEEP MEAT.-Meat is much
better for family use when at least one
week old in cold weather. The English
method for keeping meat for some time
has great merit. Experts say, hang up
quarter of meat with the cut end up
being the reverse of the usual way, by
the leg), and the juice will remain in
the meat, and not run to the cut and
dry up by evaporation. 1t is worth a
trial, and when made will be continued.

The american Rural Home says: The

weather of this year has given many of
our readers frequent and feeling adj
monitions that the comfort and luxury
derived from a plentiful supply of ice

than of its horse-barn or wood house.

How a Horse Reasons.

A correspondent of Our Dumb Ani :
mails writes: " For the last two years l
have driven my mare nearly every day
over the same road. About one mile
from my house are two roads-one lead
ing to the church, the other leading to
the depot. Now six days in the week
drive to the cars, and on Sunday to
church. AT the point where these
roads separate, gave my mare her
head, leaving her free TO make her
choice; and on week days she will 90
straight to the depot; on Sundays she
goes, of her own free will, to the church !:
| never knew her to fail me yet. 1t
puzzled me for long time to learn
how she should know any difference in

sion that she reasons facts-facts con.
nected with everyday life. On week
days | start from my stable in.:a two

my house III carryall thus making an
entire change both in time, place, and
carriage; and from these facts she must
be guided in her choice of roads.

California as an Agricultural State.

The Stockton (Cal.) Independent says !:
" From a product of 1900 bushels of
wheat in 1850, the interest gradually
enlarged until in 1850, the yield aggre-
gated 100000 bushels. From the latter
date unsil the present time, period of
twelve years, the grain growing resources
of the State have rapidly developed, and,
in 1872, we find upon close and care
full estimate yield of about 30,O0O,0OO,
exceeding in value the gold yield of the
present year by $3,500,O00. compe-
tent and reliable calculation figures the
value Of the entire grain yield Of the
State, including corn, oats and barley,
at $3O,00O,0O0, or fifty per cent. more
than the value of minerals. Taking
into consideration the fact that the
farming interests of California are onl
yet in the first stages of development,
and that railroads are penetrating the
remote sections of the State, inducing
settlement and creating life and activity
on the hitherto unpeopled solitudes of
the country, the wealth that will be pro-
duced by rural industry in the course of
the next ten years is beyond computa-

WHAT'S a Foot 2

A party of men animatedly engaged
in discussing politics before a country
store, attracted the attention of an aged
agricuiturist. "There's somethin' the

and, drawing in his team, he lightly
shouted to a consumptive individual on
the outskirts: What's a foot ?"
8 Twelve inches" was the sardonic re-
ply. The aged agriculturist swore some,

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS.

The Cartersville Standard & Ex-
press assumes that it has the largest
circulation in Cherokee county, Civ
ing the circulation of that paper at
about so much, and that of the
JOURNAL "from the best information
it can obtain" and from such state
ments afiirms that the official adver-
tisements are illegal.
We may inform the Gainesville
press, that the official advertising of
Cherokee County has been publish
ed in Marietta ever since that Coun-
ty was organized, with the exception
Of the past year, wh.n for a particu-
lar reason, and without objection
from us, it was given to the Stan
da,d. 1t was returned to the jour
NAL from no other cause than the
absence of that reason and to better
serve the wishes of the people of
Cherokee.
We will not be reluctant to com
pare lists with the Standard if the
occasion demands it.

yet to say what bonds issued under

occasion to invoke the patience and
cooperation of the people. And it
may here be proclaimed that the
people of Georgia have no thought
of repudiating any part Of the in
debtness of the State. On the con-
trary, it is their purpose to ascef-
tain the legal obligations Of the
public, and to make provision for
their payment, principal and inter
est. 1t is their purpose to respect
vested rights, to obey the laws, and
suppress crime in their midst; to re-
quire a faithful discharge of public
duty on the part of officials; to pro-
tect and elevate the public faith and
credit; to maintain order; to treat
all classes with justice and impartial
i.y, and to welcome and treat with
hospitality all men, from whatever
quarter, who come among them with
the intention of performing the du
ties of good citizens. We desire to
live in peace, to restore our waste
places, and to bring back the Gov
eminent of our State to the ancient
landmarks of the fathers.
