reader will see that we are to have q
grand spread-eagle, American bird,
Centennial Fourth of July in Eaton.
The Centennial year will not flicker
outin Preble Co,-the patriotism that
was born in all of us is sticking ont
and swells every one of US up near to
bursting when we think of the glori-
GUS whaling the old fathers gave the
Britishers n hundred years agol In
order to keep this patriotism burning
all along the line, the citizens of this
county propose to celebrate with be-
coming EoLAT this great event which
put decision into the hearts and gave
directness to the blows of our fathers,
and every man woman and child in
the county should decide to give the
occasion the inspiration of their per-
sonal presence, and resolve to come in
wagons and buggies, and carriages,
and carts, on horseback and on foot
singly or in delegations-with BAN
ners, with streamers, with garlands
and with wreaths, and assist to rem
der the day the most memorable in
the history of Preble county. Then
when you come here we expect to af-
ford amusement and solid entertain
ment that will prove to be a "feass of
reason and flow ofsour' to all. There
is talent enough available and public
spirit already aroused by anticipa-
ton, SO that the prospect of q "high
old time" is already cheering. All
the Societies, Bands of Music, Church
Choirs, will be united and present to
give soul-stirring life to the occasion.
Now, let every citizen of the county
make arrangements to come in as gay
and festive style as possible, and put
the patriotism of one hundred years
into the one dayl

Effect of Various SfinSS.

DR.. DuBasty has been studying the
stings of hymenoptera. He finds that
the sting of the honey-bee is the least
painful and dangerous; that of drones
and wasps is more to be feared, while
that of the hornet is often terrible in its
effects. The local pain occasioned by a
single sting may be. allayed by the ap,
plication of strong ammonia; the most
serious effect of repeated stings is the
sedative influence exerted on the nervous
system by the venom injected into the
wound. Dr. DuBasty warns all persons
having to do with bees never to fee
before an assaulting swarm. 1t is much
better to stand perfectly quiet and take
a few stings without finching, than, by
flight to irritate large number of the
insects and draw upon oneself sure
retribution. In this connection it may
be mentioned that NJ. DeGasparin pro-
fesses to have cured himself of a severe
attack of articular rheumatism by sub
mitting the affected parts to the stings of
bees.

A GooD WHITEwAsH.-For white
washing, pound of glue dissolved in
hot water and diluted with 4 gallons of
water, to which is added pounds OF
whiting, will be found to answer a better
purpose than common lime. Woodwork
can be washed with this glue size. and
one coat of paint on it would last for
years. A little chrome yellow will give
a light lemon-co;ored tint to the wash.
A cheap paint for the floor can be made,
which strong, smart woman could apply
to any floor. pounds of French ochre,
+ of a pound of glue, and gallon of hot
water. Dissolve the glue in a small
quantity Of hot water when wholly
melted add the rest of it, stirring it
slowly until well mixed. Then stir in

good sized paint brush. When well
dried apply or 2 coats of boiled linseed
oil. This paint dries very quickly, har-
dening in Is to "a hours.

Profit as Affected BY Freight.

1t is found that corn pays in general
about thirty three percent. of its value
for transportation from the west to the
seaboard, while the freight on first class
batter is less than five per cent. In fact
If a bushel of corn will produce, as some
estimate, from six to eight pounds OF
butter, then it is clear the difference of
freight in favor of butter is much greater
than the above figures Indicate. Again,
it is found that bushel of corn will pro-
duce from ten to fifteen pounds of pork,
nearly the same proportion of mutton,
and OF beef about seven to ten pounds.
This certainly goes to show that corn
is limited by its bulk to near by markets.
1t is folly for farmers to attempt impos-
sibilities. The only way to make sure of
a profit on corn is to convert it into
some product that will bear transporta-
tion. The man who does this makes two
profits on his grain, in addition to a third
profit on the manure it produces. 1t is
easy to show that corn culture rightly
pursuefl crn be made source of profit
But, the man who deliberately ships h;s
corn in bulk, to be sold at distant
point, is simply con'ending against nat.
nral laws. and should not complain if he
finds that such farming docs not pay

n. Slaughter Of Bird. for their PIuuase.

Mr.. Alfred Newton writes striking
protest to the 7mes against the whole
sale slaughter of birds for the sake of
ornamental feathers. He quotes the
proceedings of . single sale of feathers to
show that to supply that sale alone 8, 700
herons (or egrots) must have been de-
stroye.d All these feathers are said to
have come from India last autumn. Mr..
New observes that no country could sup
ply 10000 herons in a single breeding
season without nearly roofing out the
stock. Moreover 15.0O0'humming birds
and upward were included in the sale,
of which 74O were of a single kind. As
far as we know, none of these birds
really diminish the stock of food available
for man, so that in destroying them we
empty the world absolutely of a certain
portion Of its beauty and happiness
while the beauty is certainly by no means
made up in the Ornamentation of FEM
inine toilets which is thus procured. In
this age of fine moralities, does no one
really bestow thought on the morality
of such reckless spoilation of life as this?

Cheap and Convenient Gates.

A writer in the Rural Home says:
have just made gates to replace some
old-fashioned pairs Of bars which am
heartily tired of opening and shutting.
They are cheap durable ard very easily
made. Each gate is twelve feet in length
by four feet in height. Five boards four
inches wide are used. besides battens and
braces. Battens should be placed on both
sides making three thicknesses to nail
through. 1t does not take more than
thirty-three feet of boards. worth perhaps
sixty-six cents, to make each gate. Add
to that ten cents for nails and the value
of one hour of your time, and you have
the whole enpense.
A gate of this kind will outlast a
framed one costing "a, and as no hinges
are used. that expense is saved also. 1t
is held in positions by means of stake
driven in the ground four or five inches
from the post not in straight line,
but little more than the thickness of
the gate towards the driveway SO that
when opened the gate can be turned half
way around and be parallel with the
driveway. 1t is kept few inches from
the ground by q strip, nailed to both
stake and post, on which one end rests
when shut, and on which it slides half
its 1enyth and then SWINGS ronpd On a |
pivot when opened.
The strip is usually placed under the
second board, in a space arranged for it,
by cutting away two of the battens.
This strip takes the place of hinges
A gate of this kind can be made in much
less time and at as little expense as pair
Of bars, and is certainly much more con-
yenient.

and mix all we'll together The third
day add three pounds Of potatoes, boiled
and mashed, and let it stand until the
next day. Then strain and it is ready
for use. Stir frequently while making,
and keep near fire. Before using, stir
well. 1t will keep two or three months
in cool place. This yeast is very
strong; half the usual quantity necessary
in baking is sufficient.

Hints About Meat.

The leg of mutton is the most profita-
BILE joint, containing most solid meat.
The neck Is an extravagant joint, halt
the weight consisting of bone and fat.
The shoulder has also much waste in
bone. The breast does well for kitchen
dinner, nicely stuffed it is much cheap
er than the other joints. Sirloins and
ribs of meat are very extravagant joints,
from the weight of the bone. The roast
ing side of the round part of the buttock
and the part called the "topside," are
the most profitable family eating. The
mouse buttock is used for stewing; shin
is used for soup or stewing. The guam
tity of butchers meat consumed in a
family is, on an average, three-quarters
of a pound for each person; but when
the family consists of q woman and
children, half a pound day is about the
quantity consumed one with another,
independent of hams, bacon, poultry,
fish and game. Meat should be wiped
with a dry, clean cloth as soon as it
comes from the butchers; fy-blows, if
found in it, cut out, and in loins the
long pipe that runs by the bone should
be taken out, as it soon taints; the kern
els, also, should be removed from beef.
Never receive bruised joints. Meat will
keep good for long time in cold wealth
er, and, if frozen through, may keep for
months. Frozen meat must be thawed
before it is cooked by plunging into cold
water, or placing it before the fire before
setting it down to roast. 1t never will
be dressed through if this precaution is
not taken, not even when twice cooked.
Pepper is preventive of decay. in a de-
gree it is we'll, therefore, to pepper hung
joints. Powdered charcoal is still more
remarkable in its effect. 1t will not only
keep the meat over which it is sprinkled
good, but will remove the taint from
already decayed flesh. A piece of char
coal boiled in the water with "high"
meat or fowls, will render it or them
quite sweet. A piece of charcoal, or
powdered charcoal. should be kept in
every larder. Hams, after being smoked
may be kept for any length of time
packed in powdered charcoal.-The
Housekeeper.

CURE FOR THE HOG CHoLERA.-J. P.
Lallor, Jefferson county near Grubville,
informs us that the best remedy yet dis
covered for the hog cholera $50 called),
is the following:
Take one box of concentrated lye and
dissolve it in ten or twelve gallons of
water. This will do for ten or twelve
hogs. Give about one pint to each hog
daily for several days. 1t is to be given
in slops of some kind. Mr.. Lallor also
states his family physician has been quite
successful in the treatment of this disease
by giving small doses of arsenic.
