 TESTIMONIALS.
 "l regard MT. Eddy as one of the most success- ful practitioners with whom have had official in tercourse.
 CHARLES MASON, Commissioner of Patents. T have no hesitation in assuring inventors that they cannot employ man more competent and trustworthy and more capable of putting their ap- plications in form to secure for them an early and favorable consideration at the Patent Ohice
 EDMUND BURKE,
 Late Commissioner of Patents" ''Mr R. H. Eddy has made for me over THIRTY applications for Patents, having been successful Tn almost every case. Such unmistakabIe proof of great talent and ability on his part, leads me to recommend all inventors to apply to him to pro cure their patents, as they may be sure of having the most faithful attention bestowed on their ca ses, and at very reasonable charges.

Food for Lean Women,

If any one wishes to grow feshy, pint of
milk taken before retiring at night will cover
the scrawniest bones. Although nowadays we
great many fleshy females, yet there are
many lean and lank ones who sigh for the fash
ionabe measures of plnmpness, and who would
be vastly improved in health and appearance
could their figures be rounded with good solid
flesh. Nothing is more coveted by thin woman
than a full figure, and nothing else will so rouse
the ire and provoke the scandal of one of the
''clpper-builds" as the consciousness of plump
ness in rival. In cases of fever and Summer
complaint milk is now given with excellent re-
sults. The idea that milk is "feverish" has ex-
ploded, and it is now the physicians great reli-
ance IN bringing through typhoid patients, or
those in too low a state to be nOnrished by
solid food. 1t is great mistake to scrimp the
milk pitcher. Take more milk and by less
meat. Look to your milS-men, have large-sized,
well-filled milk pitchers the table each meal,
and you will also have sound flesh and light doc
tors bills.

Dom. Mortgage the Farm.

Keep your homestead free from mortgage. No
matter how promising the speculation may be
how large a return the investment NAV afford,
don't mortgage your home to raise money. We
know of but one good cause for q mortgage Oh
the Observation-Disclosures.
The rate of interest to be paid for borrowed
money added to the taxes and the current ex-
penses, will eat up the best farm in Kansas
Hundreds of homes throughout the west are
passing into strangers hands under foreclosure
of mortgage. Money borrowed three or five
years ago, at IL or Is per cent. interest on i'm
proved lands, worth at the time it was borrowed
three times the amount loaned, could not, in
many cases, to-day be paid if the farm was sold
for it, Unexpected expenses, losses of crops, poor
markets, one cause and another makes the pay
ment of the principal almost impossible. Money
loaners may glibly tell how easy it is to pay the
interest and as times get better, meet the princi
pal. Thousands and tens of thousands of dollars
released from manufacturing enterprises of the
east are now offered in every town of the west.
If the contraction of currency continues and we
are to reach specie resumption in 1879, the pay
ment Of the mortgages made to-day will take the
farm upoH which they are placed. Shun the
mortgage as you would a contagious disease.
The Legislation of to-day is in the hands of mon
ey, and all that will guard, protect and make
money more valuable will be done. Better TO
live in the homestead cabin with the clothes rag
ged, and the implements old and worn, than
sign a mortgage which, after years of worry and
suffering causes the home to 60 to the Insurer.
Wait; if prosperity comes, the mortgage will not
be needed; if it does not, all the more reason TO
have the home clear from debt. Mothers and
fathers, if you want the home for the children,
don't sign the mortgage.-RaHsas Farmer.

Grn-.hopper- n. Food-How TO Cook Them.

In view of the prospect that grasshoppers 10
custs) have become an important article of diet
in the West, the following from a correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times may be of practical in
terest.
In South Africa the grasshopper Qocust) is ca
ten by every living thing, from lion down to the
domestic cattle, and from the asvogel "a species
of eagle) down to the minunitve birds. Nor
does man disdain this article of food; the natives
will follow a flight of locusts for days, and be-
come rolling fat, if they can follow them long
enough. Some of the tribes merely roast them
in the ashes of the campfire, but those possess
ing greater degree of intelligence have a more
intricate modus operandi After the 'hoppeTs
are killed they put them in frying-pan and
parch them, as we do popcorn, until they are
crisp and brown. They are then ground to pow
der, in the ordinary wooden mortar used in that
country, and made into very palatable and nu-
tritious cakes. For period of two months, du-
ring which detained by fever in neigh
boring krall, about twelve hours ride to the
north of the Transvaal Republic, these cakes
with wild honey-like st. JOhn-formed almost
my entire food; yet on this diet, without med
icines or medical attendance, recovered from
severe fever, this is almost invariably fatal to
Europeans.

For several years past the currant bushes have
been nearly destroyed by numerous small worms
which divest them of their foliage. As the egg
from which these worms spring are deposited on
the upper side of the leaves, the first indication
of their ravages will be observed by many small
holes eaten through and the minute worms may
be seen making the holes larger.
The writer has been accustomed to sprinkle
powdered hehebore on the bushes, which is an
infallible remedy, as it destroys the worms in
few minutes, and will not injure the currant
bushes in the least. White hellebOre can be OBJ
tanned at most drug stores, in powdered state,
ut a few cents per ounce. To sprinkle it on
bushes, put about two tablespoonful into pep
per flour box, and sprinkle it lightly all over
the outside leaves. Then turn up the bushes
and scatter a small quantity in the middle of
them. Let it be spread as thinly as practicable,
as quantity small that it cannot be perceived
with the naked eye will check the ravages. In
the Spring of 1864 our gooseberry bushes were
stripped of every leaf, and all the branches were
literally covered with full-sized worms. We
sprinkled them lightly with white hellebore, and
in less than two hours every worm fell to the
ground dead. Great care must be taken in hand
ling the hellebore, as a small quantity will pro-
duce violent sneezing.-AmericdR AgricUlturist.
