How Fortunes are Made in Selling by
the Single Glass.
To properly appreciate the difficulties
that the temperance crusaders will have
to encounter, it is only necessary TO con-
slider the enorInity of the profits on in
tONicating beverages. Fortunes upon
fortunes are made in the trade 1t
would be H. easy to resist n combination
ui all the existing railroad mOnopolies as
10 gain Il triumph over the liquor-dealers,
if the contest were really a mere matter
IF Honey. The retail dealers make a
larger percentage of profit than the
wholesale dealers. but they do not con-
troll the trade, for the reason that they
are not able TO combine. Half of the
saloons are really owned by distillers or
brewers, and the nominal proprietOrs
are in fact only agents. The principal
drawbacks To the business are waStage
in pouring and excess i'll rents. Saloon
keepers say that they are oppressed by
landlords who charge extra prices TO
compensate for the disreputableness of
the business.
THE PROFITS OF A GALLON OF wHISKEY.
The following calculations were made
made after consultation with several
prominent dealers. both wholesale and
retail; Whisley. though sold in barrels,
il paid for by the gallon. There are
three general classes of custOmers-thoSe
who intend to sell a good quality of
liquor at fifteen cents glass; those who
intend TO sell a reasonably good quality
AT ten cents: and those who for the lat
ter prico make a practice of palming off
the cheapest compound that can be
made to resemble whiskey The three
kinds purchased viii! average in price
81. 50 80. and S1.25 per gallon respect
lively To the best whiskey about one
eighth of its quantity is added. Thus
the saloon-keeper converts his gallon of
thirty-two gills into thirty-six gills. The
average drink Is about half gill Reck-
oning. then, seventy-two drinks at fifteen
cents a drink, the gross receipts for a
gallon are SlO.SO. Subtracting the cost
given above, there remains a profit of
$3.50, or 10 per cent. of the cost. This
percentage is not SO much a year, let it
be remembered, but is made as often in
the year as the stock can be turned.
Men who buy whiskey at ten cents
glass will pour in about two-thirds of a
gill with one-eighth addition of water.
The profits will be found to be 50 60, or
IiG per cent. of the cost. The cheapest
whi>key is watered at least one-fifth.
and then adulterated with pepper and
less innocent ingredients to restore its
strength. This gives thirty-nine gills.
Reckoning three-quarrers of a gill as the
average drink of the class which con
sumeS it. there will be found the enor-
nous profit, over the original cost of
S125 gallon, of S5.25, or 420 per cent
PROFITS OF THE KETAILERS
In similar way the retail profits on
other liquors were calculated with the
following results:

Wheat and Clover.

Prof. Vockler says: All who
are perfectly acquainted with the
subject must have seen that the
best crops of wheat are produced
by being proceeded by crops OF
clover grown from the seed. L
have come to the conclusion that
the very best preparation, the
best manure, is a good crop Of
clover. A vast amount of min
eral manure is brought within
reach of the corn crop, which,
otherwise, would remain in a
locked up condition in all the
soil. The clover plants take nj
trogen from the atmosphere, and
manufacture it into their own SEN
tence, which, on the decomposi-
ton of the clover roots and
leaves, produces an abundance
of ammonia. In reality, the grow
ing of clover is equivalent, to a
great extent. manuring with Per
uvian guano.

Farm and Household.
Apples For the Of Year.

One of the most successful ag-
riculturists in the country is Rob
ert Pell, who has a 1,2OO acre
farm in Ulster County, N. Y, all
in the highest state of cultiva-
ton. One feature is an orchard
of 200 acres, planted exclusively
with'the Newtown Pippin, and
the produce of this orchard is fa-
nous in England and Europe, as
well as at home. To attain his
present perfection in fruit cul-
ture, Mr.. Pell studied the art of
pomology and learned how to as
sist nature in her efforts to sup
port mankind. Commonly speak
ing the apple tree bears every
alternate year. Mr.. Pell deter
mined to have an annual harvest,
and to give his orchard a hand
some start he..sacrificed the crop
of a bearing year. All the ap-
pies were picked while green.
He discovered that the germ of
next years fruit was in existence
at the time of the apple harvest,
but that the tree would be so ex-
hausted that this germ would fail
of development, and a year of
rest would followibefore another
crop could be produced. Having
stopped his trees from fruiting in
the manner l have mentioned, he
was sure of a crop on. what was
generally the off-year, and deter
mined to follow this up by a treat
ment which would abolish the
year system. He learned that
trees required a variety of food,
the chief of which is found in pot
ash lime and soda, and this orch
ard has been thus fed with all
the success that could have been
anticipated. The potash is found
in wood ashes, lime is obtained
from oyster shells at low cost
(stone lime being undeslrable),
while soda is supplied by COM
mon salt. Orchards thus fed and
judiciously pruned cannot fail of
success, and although this season
is generally short of apples, Mr..
Pell's crop is of usual abundance.

Good Way to Make Cottage
Cheese.

A cottage spinster, "Roselle,"
in communicating her practice OF
making cottage cheese, says: 81
take some sweet milk and stand
it Oh top of the stove in new
tin pail, or pan, shaking it occa.
sionally, that the forming c1rd
may not settle 10 the bottom. |
turn the edges gently that the
curd may form evenly, taking
care not to break it, and not let
it cook too fast. If the heat is
about right it will be done in
half an hour. Then / drain of
the whey slowly, pressing down
on the curd until only whey
enough remains in it that the
cheese will not be too dry, just
moist enough to mix we'll. Then
l salt to taste, add good lump
of butter and work we'll with my
hand, then pack it down in a
crock, leaving a. the moisture in
it. This is better than to press
it into dry balls. Set it away in
the coolest corner of the cellar
or spring house. Take it out in
TO a deep white dish and very
carefully dip out and lay over
the top of it a few spoonsful of
thick cream, sweet or sour, but
the sour,is preferable. Lay a
clean, bright spoon beside the
dish, and your wholesome poem
is ready for criticism, cold, white
and pretty, and one of the incest
dishes known for tea.

Evaporation Instead of Ice.

Ice is an expensive luxury this
summer, and many persons will
doubtless be obliged to dispense
with its use. In the country,
where water may be drawn cold
from the well or the spring, and
a clean, cool cellar or dairy pre-
serves the food fresh, it is not so
much missed, but even here wa
ter and butter cannot remain
many minutes in the temperature
of the eating-room, without los
ing their agreeable qualities.
Several thicknesses of wet clothes
wrapped about the pitcher will
by evaporation, keep the water
tolerable. 1t is said that COM
mon flower-pot, inverted over a
plate of butter, and kept covered
in that same way with wet cloths,
will keep butter in that state of
solidity which is essential to its
attractiveness.

Pure Water for Mich Cows.

A New Jersey farmer writins 9
over the signature OF "Agricola'
says:
"Although water, added to
milk, may be obnoxious, proprie-
tors of milch cows cannot expect
that the udders will be extended
with the delicious liquid unless
the animals can have access to a
generous supply Of clear water.
During the sultry days of sum-
mer, pure water for cows is as
important as grass. When a CO v
is thirsty, she must be supplied
with water, or the process of con-
cocting milk will be more or less
arrested. Hence the quantity OF
milk will continue to diminish.
Soon after a COW has filled her.
self with feed of any sort, there
will be a demand for water. But
if the animal cannot obtain a
supply, the partially masticated
feed in the rumen will soon begin
heat and ferment, causing de-
rangement of the entire system.
at is bad policy to require
milch cows 10 drink at ponds of
standing water, which IS a pre-
vailing practice in many sections
of country. When animals are
to go into the water, and
to stand in it, unless there is a
stream, the wafer will
soon be fouled and unfit to drink.

upon any member of any family
who neglects those affectionate

Noah.

The word Noah means rest, or
comfort. This name was given
to Noah when he was born, be-
cause his father thought, sThis
son shall comfort us concerning
our work and toll of our hands,
because of the ground which the
Lord had cursed" Gen. 5: 30.
ALI parents expect to find COM
fort in their children, and endure
much care and anxiety for them
in that hope. How sad that any
should be disappointed! Yet
some children,in of comfort
ing their parents, "bring down
their gray hairs with sorrow to
the grave" Are you a comfort
to your parents, or do you in
crease their SORROW?

Forgot His Broom.

Some years ago there was a
crossing sweeper in Dublin, with
his broom, at the corner; and
in all probability, his highest
thoughts were to keep the cross
ing clean, and look for the pence.
One day a lawyer put his hand
upon his shoulder, and said to
him.
"My good fellow, do you know
that you are heir to a fortune OF
ten thousand pounds year 2'
"Do you mean itg" he said.
81 do" he said. 81 have just
received the information. | am
sure that you are the man."
The man was convinced. He
left his corner, he walked away,
he forgot his broom, and he made
haste to seek his inheritance.
Like the woman of Samaria, who
cleft her water-pct" by Jacobs
well, and hastened to the city to
proclaim the presence of the
Messiah whom she had seen, SO
this poor man, filled with strange
thoughts of wealth and plenty,
forsook his labors and forgot his
broom.
But are there not many who
talk of their title to heavenly
and eternal heritage, who yet
hold fast the broom, and cling to
all the cares and trifles and fol-
lies Of this wretched world? o
man Of earth, look upg, God has
provided some better things for
mortals than worldly gain or
worldly good. Drop your muck
rake, forget your broom, ,and seek
an eternal heritage, a never-fad-
ing crown.
