City Made Butter.

For some time past an article has been
sold in this market as butter, says the New
York Times, which is nothing but a com
pound of animal fat, suet, milk, and OIL
1t is alleged that many reputable dealers
in butter have been induced to purchase
this vile article, and sell it to their Gus
toners as pure butter. Large quantities
Of the article have been sold to the mill
operatives in Paterson, and to the miners
in Pennsylvania, and it has been shipped to
tue West Indies, thus destroying the char
acter of the New York market. The spec
ulators in this compound have already es-
tablished manufactures in New York,
Brooklyn, New Jersey, Hoboken, Newark,
and Boston, and employ persons to collect
grease and fat from butchers shops and
private dwellings. The matter mas been
brought under notice of the Butter and
Cheese Exchange, and the members have
pledged themselves not to purchase the
article and to do all in their power to rid
the market of it. A subcommittee has
been appointed to examine into the ques-
tion fully, and to report the best means to
be adopted to prevent the introduction of
"oleomargarine, as the new butter is call
ed, into the market. The new article can
be manufactured for about fourteen cents
per pound, and it is disposed Of at thirty
cents, realizing handsome profit for the
manufactures. afr tI

Cinpes In Chickens.

Since it has become settled fact that
this widespread disease, which is the great
enemy of poultry breeders, is caused by
lice, almost always to be seen on the heads
of the young chickens as soon as out of the
egg, it becomes a matter of great impor-
tance to know how the lice can be exter-
minated before the evil work has been
done. We have read various articles upon
this question, but fail to find that the ex-
periments Of others have been in any re-
gard more satisfactory than our own. In
former years we lost great many valuable
birds by this scourge, for which we almost
believe there was no remedy. For about
three or four years we have used only one
preraraton, from recipe of our own, and
have not lost a chick by this cause during
that period. Several years ago we dis
covered that almost any kind of grease or
oil was death to the lice in majority of
cases, though one application was always
sufficient. A little later we used skunk's
oil for season with entire satisfaction,
but our supply being limited was at last ex-
hausted. We then experimental consider
ably and have settled upon this prepara-
tion, which has been used rather lavishly
at times, but never in single instance
with any disadvantage to the chicks -
Mix two ounces each of olive oil and oil of
sassafras (or in the absence Of this oil, coal
oil will do nearly as welI,) with one ounce
Of spirits of turpentine, and the simple but
effective preparation is ready for use. We
generally give the hen ample time to get
her chicks well into the world before troub-
ling her, and when they are from 12 to "a
hours old, apply the preparation to the
heads of all. We use enough of the oil to
thoroughly wet down the feathers and never
Lave occasion to repeat the operation. We
advise any person needing such remedy
in their breeding, to try the merits of our
recipe, and we think the result will be sat

Simple Tree preserratlKe.

To render posts or timber, placed in the
ground, practically impervious to moisture,
and for long time prevent decay, the fol-
lowing simple recipe has been tried and
found to answer the purpose excellently.-
For fence and gate posts it is particularly
recommended. Take linseed oil, boil it,
and mix it with charcoal dust until the
mixture has the consistency of an ordinary
paint Give the posts a single coat of the
mixture or paint before planting them, and
no farmer, says one who has used it, living
to the age of the patriarchs of old, will live
long enough to see the posts rotten. The
posts should be well-seasoned and dry when
the paint is applied.

in the ground in your cornfield, and set
these papers up in them, big end up and
drop into each one small piece of meat -
Then around the top, on the inside, spread
some tar, such as you grease your wagons
with, and your trap is completed. The

REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BI

Their Reputation is Established. = Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There Is no Risk in Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore. cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy for they leave
the system in healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.
BEWARE OF CoUNTERFEITs. = The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid. and the signature of
"Thompson 81 Crawford, 4" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.
