CATSTP Or KETCHTP-

Probable adulterants.-The juice ex.
pressed from the livers of purifying
horses and other animals.
Some time since, while managing an
artlfcial-manure factory in the East
End Of London, the present writer was
requested to purchase a peculiar, damp
cakey material, said to contain a guam
tity of nitrogen. Upon inquiry this
turned out to be nothing less than the
residue from livers, which had been
pressed in order to extract their fluid
constituents. Further inquiry reveal
ed the disgusting fact that this juice,
or extract, after having been allowed
to ferment, was mixed with salt and
vinegar, and sold underline lying name
of mushroom catsup. 4 sample was
shortly afterwards obtained at a shop,
not hundred miles from the same
place, and on being submitted to
analysis revealed its horrible consti-
tuent. 1t is TO be hoped that the con-
sumption of this mixture is confined to
the district where it is manufactured.
Analysis.-An ethereal extract should
be made by shaking the suspected fluid
with methylatcd ether, decanting and
evaporing the ethereal solution in the
steam-bath until all the ether has been
distilled off; the residue is then tested
by the sense of smell. The fatty mat
tiers found in the liver have a peculiar
fetid odor, which when once smelt is
not easily forgotten.
Good catsup, when concentrated to
half its bulk and left to cool, forms no
scum or skin on the surface. The al
coholic extract has no other taste but
that Of mushroons.-1mericaR Grocer.

De. SCHESCK's PULNONIC SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medi-
eines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded
Of vegetable Ingredients, and contain nothing
which can be injurious to the human constitu-
ton. Other remedies, advertised as cures for
Consumption, probably contain opium, which is
somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if
taken freely by conSUmptiye patients, it must
do great injury for its tendency is to conine the
morbid matter in the system, which, of course
must make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup is warranted not to contain par
tiele Of opium. 1t is composed Of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act ON the lungs, liver,
stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions, and expeI all the diseased matter
from the body. These are the only means by
which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's PulmOnie Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, il is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary COnsump-
ton Each bottle of this invaluable medicine
is accompanied by full directions. DIR. Schenck

THE COTTON CROP

The cotton crop of the past few years
. has been as follows: In 1870, 49,, Sl7
bales; in 1871, 2,97+,351 bales; in 1872,
1880, sos bales; in 1873, estimated L.
100000 bales, or total Of l5,l57,l76
bales in the four years. The acreage
planted during these years was as fol-
lows: In 1870, S,S35,5I5 acres; in 1871,
7,Sll, $3.50 acres; in 1872, s, So, So acres;
in 1873. 9,S43.723 acres, or a total of
81, 40S, 52l acres in the four years.
This would give a yield on an acreage
of 229 bales to the acre. This year the
number of acres III cultivationis s, 7S5, =
$50. The same average would give a
crop this year of 3,S36,57I bales. 1t
Will not do, however, to rely upon the
lay Of averages, for Of all the crops of
the country none are subject to such
violent fluctuations Of chances as that
OF cotton. The report-of the Depart.
mcnt of Agriculture, as published I'M
der crop intelligence elsewhere, shows,
however, a general reduction Of acreage
of about ten per cent. IL there is the
same deduction on the number of bales
produced IN 1873, which is estimated
at 400, 900, itwould give as the figures
of the growing crop, 3,7S0,0O0 bales.
These figures are, perhaps, as good a
basis for calculation as can be given at
this stage of the crop.-American
Grocer.
The above figures, copied main
ly from the report of the
Department of Agriculture, if not
entirely reliable, show with what
apparent confidence such state
ments arc made to the public. The
census Of 1870, taken in June of that
year, gave the crop of 1869. The
quantity Of cotton raised, carded, spun
and made into cloth at home, by tens
of thousands of families, escapes the
notice of all statisticians; nor do they
guess closely at the amount consumed
In hundreds Of small cotton factories
known to exist quite innocent of any
researches of the Department in Wash
ington. But if the quantity raised IN
the last four crops is very uncertain,
what shall We say Of any mans knowl-
edge of the number of acres planted in
each of the four years, 1S7O-7I-72 and
rs? Who dares state the number

CONCENTRATED I'VE.

In order to accommodate housekeep-
CHS who are economically inclined. and
who wish to make soap at home from
the scraps and grease that are other
wise thrown away, it has been custo-
mary for long time for manufacturers
of soap and dealers in alkalis to fur.
nlsh an article to the trade for that
purpose, most usually a preparation of
potash, and sold as such, or as concen-
trated potash, or concentrated I've. of
which there are a dozen or more differ
ent brands In the market. 1t is usually
put up IN one pound cans, and packed
Tour dozen IN case, and sells from 81
to $3.50 a case. Each manufacturer
claims some special superiority over all
Others. 1t is capable of being adulter-
ated, as is the case with almost all
products, and the actual result produc-
ed Is practically the best test to deter
mine the quality. The convenient shape
IN which it is now furnished commends
1t TO universal use, and as a conse-
quence the old ash barrel in the Chin
ney corner Of the farm house or kitch-
en- is fast disappearing.
We clip the above from the Ameri-
can Grocer, one Of our most valued ex-
changes, published in New York. Con-
centrated I've is successfully used to
make soap in the writer's family; and
we should be glad to learn from our
contemporary if this lye is obtained
from German potash salts, or from
American potash and pearlash derived
from burnt wood and its ashes.
We have cherished the hope that a
mime or fountain of this alkaH which
forms thirty per cent Of the ash in all
wheat would be found in the vast aka
line districts of the West; but soda is
the prevailing base, which is better for
soap making than to fertilize land for
grain, tobacco, potatoes, cotton, fruit
and grass. Pure potash is worth at
least ten cents a pound to aid in the
production Of these crops. What is the
purity, and wha. is the value of any
sample of concentrated I've can only be
determined by chemical test rightly
applied

down of the fertile portions of the
country.
Although, to certain extent, the
assertion OF B. T. J. is literally true,
yet there are means of making good
permanent pasture Or perpetual
meadow on soil which has been
plowed and nlisused, but it takes a long
time and great patience-as during the
gradual and slow process of thickening
the sward with the grasses essential to
permanency and to the capability of
fattening live stock, very little profit
will arise. from the small amount of
heritage which the land is able to grow;
but time and patience, which accom-.
plish so much in z general way, viii,
IN the course of years, reward the per-
sevefing man who does not become dis
couraged, as very much Of the rich
grazing land, and moving lands, too,
in England, will evince: for the "high
f1dged lands" still retain their shapeon
thousands of acres of grass land, which
no man living has any recollection
OF ever having heard was plowed.
The much warmer summers in the
American climate, and the drouths
which occur, cause tito bemore difficult
toestablish good sod composed of vari-
cites sufficient to meet therequirements
of all seasons of the year-hence the
fine natural and original sod ought to
be held sacred; and where thoroughly
and unn istakably superior, as on some
of the Western plains and the blue
grass regions, the insanity and wicked
ness of destroying all future prosperity
for temporary gain should be set forth
IN language strong enough to expose
the enormity of the folly.
The English-American who writes
the above to the Country Gentleman
has contributed many valuable articles
on making permanent pastures and
meadows in this country. Instead of
blowing our blue grass, the ground
should be narrowed after a good season
and other grass seed sown and covered
with bush.

valuable IN America as in England. and
which eventually will be found to be

HERE is warning to school-teachers:

pedagogue of a poetic turn of mind
repeated the following beautiful lines
to a pupil:

The prettiest girl | ever saw
Was sucking cider through a straw"
For this breach of decorum the School
Directors revoked their contract with
Mr.. Teacher, and did for him what a

Mary's lamb. The disconsolate poet
sued the Board for the salary Of a full

THE GRAIN SITUAI

THE CHARACTERIZATION h EUROPE.
The Echo AgricOIe gives a general re-
view of the crop situation in Europe,
which we find condensed as follows:
Great Britain viii have an average
yield; Belgium and Holland have no
reason to complain, and the cereals
look well. In Southern Germany the
rye crop has been injured, but the
general aspect of the crops was good.
In Austria-hungary some provinces
have suffered pretty severely, but the
wheat-erop is placed at IS per cent.
In addition to this the news from
Southern Russia is very favorable.
