Syrup pure and unauthorized, has but small
sale on the Chicago market. There are two rea-
sons for this. The first, that the ordinary con-
sinner would sooner be swindled by buying an
adulterated article at a cheap price, than Law
the hattering JUNCTION to his soul of having a
pure and wholesome syrup at fair price. The
second is that the manufacture of pure syrup
may almost be cassed with the lost arts The
syrup that generally makes its appearance on
the tables of Chicago households is simply a
preparation of starch. What is supposed to be
the product of the sugar-eane, is nothing of the
kind There is pure syrup, a rarity in the
market, but it don't make much show on the ia
bles of average Chicago households.
In former times, syrup was nothing less than
molasses, or the drippngs of brown sugar. This
contains about forty per cent. of cane sugar to-
gether with some grape sugar. At the present
time, most of the syrup that is manufactured is
made from starch. The starch is boiled with
water containing one or two per cent of oil of
vitriol. By chemical process, the starch is
thus converted into something like grape sugar.
The liquid is concentrated, and the oil of vitriol
very deleteriOns substance, neutralized by
means of chalk. 1t might perhaps be more prop
er to say that the oil is eliminated by the action
pf the chalk. Syrups manufactured in this man.
ner always contain a certain portion of sulplate
of lime, rplaster, but if the manufacturer works
WE'LL the proportion of this sulphate of lime left
IN the syrup is small. Theirs is always danger
that the inscriptions manufacturer will nse
chemicals for the purpose of giving n beautiful
clear color to his syrup. The clearness and color
give the grade to the syrup, and il is therefore,
a considerable object to the INSCRIPTIONS MANN
faefurer to resort to every means possible to give
his products the desired color.-C hicdgo Times

Do Won Suspect Anybedyt

The Harrodsbnrgh people are responsible for
the following anecdOte of one of the elder Breck-
inridges-now passed away-a lawyer, aud dis
tinl iished in his profession. regular frequent
er his office was an old gentleman v no never
had any business, but regarded Mr.. Breckenridge
as the greatest man in the country, aud would
listen with avidIty whenever the lawyers leis-
IRE allowed him to talk. This old gentleman, by
the way, was given to making queer and some
times startling remarks-all in utmost innocence
of any evil intention misconduct whatever.
One day the lawyer did not open his Office, aud
the old gentleman was deprived of his daily Occu-
patton. The next day, however, Mr.. Breckn-
ridge made his appearance, when the old man
said, somewhat testify, "A lawyer should always
be found in his office" Every true" responded
Mr.. Breckenridge, "but a very unusual occur
renee kept me at home. For the first time in fif-
teen years. my wife gave birth to a baby" eff
teen yearsp calculated the old gentleman, look
ing over the rim of bis spectacles. Then lowering
his voice to a mysterious whisper, he said: "And
do you suspect anybody" The old gentleman's
manner, etc, made the joke too good
to keep, and Mr.. Breckenridge laughed as hearty
rs did his friends when told it.

Early FatteninE Of Animals.

The philosophy of increase of fat in animals is,
that the digested food not needed to supply
waste in the system is laid up in the form of fat
around the muscles, ready to be absorbed again
into the circulation, if needed. Waste is induced
BY exercise, use of the muscles, and also by
combustion in the lungs of the digested food, to
supply animal heat. Hence, the same amount
of food given in warm weather will, if digested,
afford q greater surplus of fat than when fed in
cold weather. Hogs other animals intended
for fattening should be shut up about the first of
September. Many advocate making the size of
the tattening pen so small that the animal will
have but just room to stand OF lie. While con-
hnenent favors rest and a disposition to fattep
too close quarters not hcalthful for the ami
NAL, which needs moderate exercise to promote
digestion. The quality of the flesh produced
must be somewhat impaired by, any confinement
that interferes with the health. The appetite
may be kept up by cange of food, n frequent sup
ply of green vegetables, such corn, cabbage
Leaves, pea vines, and the refuse of the garden
Cooked food digests much more easily than raw
and is in a condition to yield more nOurishment
and is also better relshed by most kinds of stock
Cleanliness in the fattening pens should not be
overlooked. Although pigs provorbaly are fl
thy, they not really so; they do not delight
in the efanvia of their own droppings, as any one
can see by noticing that they generally appro-
pirate one PARTON of the pen to filth. An occa-
siOnal washing and scrubbing with soap suds will
conduce much to their thrift-all animals keep
IN condition more easily when the skin is kept
clean and healthy.-AQricdlturist

an occasional blowing and hoeing being also Civ
en-, if necessary to keep the weeds down. When
the time arrives for sowing the wheat if the corn
Is ripe enough and help is plenty three or four
rows are cut up, the stalks set one side, and the
strip thus cleared is sowed and narrowed in The
stalks are then set back upon the open space,
and another Gland" cleared, the stalks being put
on the "land" already sowed, aud so on until the
field is finished. If the corn is not fit to cut, or
help is scarce, the wheat is put in with cultiva-
tor, going twice in row each way One man
will SOW as fast as two can cultivate it in About
two bushels of seed per acre are used. Mr. K
says the average yield of wheat is not quite so
large; but the labor involved is much less
MS method may be expedient in rare cases;

Msefnl aud Curious.
Typhoid Fever.


The following which we clip from the Chicago
Times il worthy of universal attention:
The discovery of the cause and cure OF this
scourge the world owes to sanitary science, and
not at all to the medical profession except SO tar
as member of the latter may be identified with
the pursuit of the former. The medical man Ia
bors to cure the disease; the sanitary scientist
labsrs to prevent it. The latter labor Is the one
which meets with the greatest success, and is
deserving of popular attention. 1t removes the
duty of preventing the spread or even the exis-
tence of this disease from the domain of mysti-
cism and the jargon of Latin prescriptions, and
places il in the hands of sanitary authorities in
general, and in the keeping of every individual
in particular. The discovery amounts to this:
Exterminate filth, and we exterminate TYPHOID
fever
For popular guidance there are three or four
points which may be elaborated. They are:
l. Drinking water must be absolutely free
from the drainage of night soil and other impu-
rites.
2. The excrementory discharges of patients
suffering from typhoid fever will communicate
the disease, and hence must be at once disinfec-
ted.
g. The air from sewers and weter-closets must
net be permitted to escape, so as to be breathed,
for it is a fruitful source of the origin and the
spread of the disease.
These three points thoroughly attended to by
every family will reduce the existence of typhoid
fever to the minimum. The action of the in
uifhual shoulu ne supplemented, IN case OF
towns, by measures which will cleanse the gut-
tiers, secure perfect sewerage and prevent the at
mospherc from being polluted by the admission
into it of nOxions vapors. In the case of farm
houses the great cause of typhoid fever is found
in the pollution of the air and the drinking wat
er by carnations and drainage from the barn
yard.
In fine, typhoid fever, like cholera and small
pox, is simply the indignant and forcible protest
OF nature against nncleanliness. Let every one
breathe perfectly pure air, drink perfectly pure
water-let people completely disassociate them
selves from filth, and typhoid fever will be dis
ease of the past

SOME time since gentleman was travelling on
a railway train that had but one passenger coach
attached. The gentleman is addicted to the bad
habit of smoking. He had but one cigar at the
time, and longed for a smoke, but hesitated.
thinking that smoke might be unpleasant for a
fascinating lady passenger-the only one aboard.
Finally he could stand the deprivation no longer,
and, taking out the cigar and reaching towards
the seat where she sat, asked if she objected to
smoking. 40, no." said she, reaching for and
taking the cigar; AZ left my pipe tur hum.n
