CONSERVATIVES, TAKE NoTIcE.-Every moment
of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for consumption, far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the preensons of
any other medicine. See DR.. Scheuck's Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of the
highest responsibility, who have been restored to
health after being pronounced ineurable by physi-
clans of acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many these evidences will
will show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
pIoyment of two other remedies which DR.. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.
By the timely use of these medicines according to
directions, Dr. Schenck certies that most any case
of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal Office

day. where ali letters for advice must be addressed

of rare sweetness and delcacy, and of re-
markedly expressive quality. Her rendering

Setting Milk for Cream

1t Is not to be wondered at that the
average dalryman of our State is puzzled
to know what to do for the best. Prof
Wilkinson tells him plainly that nothing
but shallow pans and subearth ducts will
do, while Prof Hardin is equally certain
that deep pans GO inches,) sunk to the
rim In water, at a temperature of so deg.
alone insures the largest yield of the best
quality of butter; and now both of these
are overtopped by the new Cooley system,
which proposes to enclose the milk in a
deep narrow can, with water tight lid,
and sink it under water, which is careful
~ kept at low temperature by the use of
ice.
Our own experiments satisfy us that
Doth extremes are right, provided, certain
rules, as unalterable as those of the Modes
and Persians, are observed. At tempe
nature above GO deg. deep cans will not
do; the milk will usually sour before all
the cream reaches the surface. When
this temperature is unavoidable, shallow
and broad pans will give the best results.
When cold water is abundant and the
means of keeping it at 80 deg. or lower
are at hand, it will he found that cans,
twenty inches deep, and eight or nine in
diameter, will save much labor, and at the
same time make quite as much and better
butter. Those darymen whose situation
is covered by the first case should be eau
tious in the use of deep cans. 1t is no
doubt for the want of proper observance
of these simple rules that we now have a
conflict of sentiment as to the compare
tive merits of deep and shallow setting

Whipping Horses.

Professor Wagner, in writing upon this
subject says: Many think they are doing
finely, and are proud of their success in
horse-training by means of severe whip.
ping, or otherwise arousing or stimulating
the passions, and then crushing the will
through which the resistance is prompted.
No mistake can be greater than this, and
there is nothing that so fully exhibits the
ability, judgment and skill of the real
horseman, as the care displayed in winning
instead Of repelling the action of the mind.
Although it is necessary to use the whip
sometimes, it should always be applied
judiciously, and great care should be taken
not to arouse the passions or excite the
will to obstinacy. The legitimate and
proper use of the whip is calculated to act
upon the sense of fear entirely. The atfec-
tionate and better nature must be appealed
to in training u horse as we'll as in training
a child. A reproof given may he intended
for the good of the child, but if only the
passions are excited, the object is deprav-
ing and injurious. This is good vital
principle, and can be disregarded in the
management of sensitive and courageous
horses at the risk of spelling them. l
have known many horses of a naturally
gentle character to be spoiled by whip
ping once, and one horse that was made
vicious by being struck by whip while
standing in his stall.

When you get mad, my darling dear,
You'll rip them out, that all may hear"
Said she, ooh, Edward, Meyer! Never!
They'll rest in my hearts recess forever!
Tell me, Edward, and nevermore
Shall | scold, or fret or slam the door;
And Pll try to be quite with all my might,
No matter what hour you come at night"
No man, unless he were made of wood,
Could resist an offer SO fair and good;
SO he said, Now, Mary, my woe or veal
Depends on the words I'm about to reveal"
"Oh, Ned" she answered, "you may depend,
pll keep the secret till life shall end"

WISE PRovERBs.-The harder the wood
the higher the polish. One man cries
"There's we'll " another quietly puts a
pump in it. Prayers and provender never
hinder any mans journey. Experience
and wisdom are the two best fortune tel
lers. The covetous man makes halfpen-
ny out of farthing, and liberal man
makes six-pence of it. Look upon battle
and picture at q good distance. Vain
glory is flower which never comes to
fruit If folly were pain, We should have
great crying in every house. Your look
ing glass will tell you what friends never
will. The man that speaks plain truth is
a cleverer fellow than lie is generally taken
for. The snail looks around his house,
and thinks it is the whole world. Those
who walk the highway are always throw
ing stones at those who walk off the beaten

Chemistry of the Fattening Process.

A lean COW or OK is in very different
conoltlon, chemically considered, from fat
animals OF the same kind. In the first
pace the poor animal consists of about
two-thlrds water, the fat one of only half.
that IS, In total weight. A fat animal is in
dry condition, poor animal is like some
OF our bog meadows, very wet. When the
iattening process begins, water commences
10 disappear, and fat or suet takes its
place; and the increase in bulk during the
process is largely of adipose matter. It ia
curious circumstance that, during fatten
iing,the proteids, or heterogeneous compounds.
increase onl y about seven per cent, and the
pone material, or inorganic substances, on
~ one and a-half per cent.
Inc cost to farmer of fattening an OK ia
much greater at the close of the process
than at the commencement that is, increase
IN bulk or dry weight at that period is
much more costly. If it costs three cents
pound for bulk for the first month after a
poor animal is put in the fattening stall,
IL VIII cost five cents the last month. If
then, farmer consults his money interests
he VIII not carry the increase in fat beyond
certain point, provided he can turn his
partially tatted animals to fair advantage.
arhers nave, perhaps, learned this fact
from experience and observation, and
hence comparatively lean beef abounds in
our markets. While this is of advantage
to the farmer, it is very disadvantageous TO
consumers of the beef for the flesh of fat
animal In every case is much richer in fix-
ed, nourishing material than that of fine
lean, and it is never good economy to pur-
chase lean beef 1t is better to purchase
the poorest parts of a fat animal than the
best OF lean one. The best piece of fat
OK (the loin), contains from twenty-one to
ttwenty-eight per cent. more fixed material
than the corresponding piece in lean one,
ana ouriously enough the worst piece in
!he lean animal (the neck), is the richest
in nourishing material. The flesh of the
neck improves very little in fattening,
hence, economy considered, it is the best
portion to purchase, as its value is in a
measure fixed one.
