what the Seventh Day Advensists
Believe

The doctrines taught by this society are some.
what peculiar, although they profess to have no
articles of faith, creed or discipline, aside from
the Bible. With other Evangelical denomna-
tions they believe that there is one God, and
Lord Jesus Christ, who died our sacrifice, and
was raised for our justification. They believe
that Gods law, as given on Sinai, is unchanged
BILE, and every precept still binding upon man;
hence they observe the seventh day of the week,
or Saturday, as the Sabbath.
They set no time for the second advent of
Christ, but think his coming is near. They be-
lieve in the literal resurrection of the dead, and
think God has foretod the history of nations in
prophecy.
Their faith embraces Bible temperance. To-
bacco and intoxicating drinks are banished
from their society. To a large extent they dis.
card the use of tea, coffee, and rich and highly
seasoned food. They have founded a large
medical and surgical sanitarium in Battle
Creek, Michigan. 1t is not conducted on
UNCONVENTIONAL basis, and is largely patronzed
by suffering humanity from all parts of the
United States. Those desiring to know more
of this singular people should attend their an
nual camp meeting at Richmond.

Coal Ashes for Garden Walks.

Living in locality where gravel can only be
had at great expense, we had our choice
between asphalt of some kind, concrete, and
coal ashes. The soil is exceedingly light and
sandy, and We made the experiment with coal
ashes without any great confidence in its sue
cess The bed of the walk was first leveled
and made slightly elevated in the middle, then
about three inches of fine coal ushes were ap-
piled, but carefully spread; a little soil was
scattered over the ashes, the whole wetted down
by water from watering-pOt and rolled. The
walks have been made for more than year;
they were quite satisfactory in a few days after
they were laid and have been improving ever
since. They are sufficiently firm, afford a
a pleasant surface for the foot, and are of a
pleasing color, much more so than any asphalt
we have seen. 1t was anticipated that the
ashes would cause annoyance by adhering to
the shoes, and thus be trouble to the house
keeper, but there is no difficulty of this kind.
Weeds will grow in walk of this kind just as
they will in one of gravel, but scuf1ing over
when needed, adding fresh ashes where the
surface is uneven, and an occasional rolling,
keep the walks in excellent order with very lit
tie trouble. Of course, our ashes are those
from anthracite coal. We have had no expert
ence with bituminous coal ashes, but believe
they are satisfactorily used in England. Not
long ago we visited one of the finest and best
kept places in the neighborhood of Boston.
and found ashes in use upon portion of the
walks. The proprietor informed us that he
well satisfied with paths made of this material
after it had become well settled.-N. Y Times.

Mr.. David A. Hawn turns out his calves to
clover as soon as there is an abundance OF
feed. He first feeds on sweet milk, then on
warmed sour milk, with little meal or shorts,
and on turnips, but continues the milk alone
for short time. lessening the quantity grad
ually. The calves are then left in the field
by themselves, getting only little salt till
Inc clover is out. Finer calves than his are
hard to find. One of the important points in
raising calves is, in the earliest stages, to
gradually change from one diet to another.
A change from hay to grass, if the grass is
the first tender growth and the calf late
one, is often followed by the scours, the same
as when cold (sour) milk is given where the
habit was to have it warm. Grass can be
fed to calves in winter as well as summer.
Clover, when cut about the time of blossom
ing, or when the heads begin to color and
well cure, differs from pasture grass only il
the quantity of water, and affords the finest
of early spring feed, making the change less
great from hay-the usual rather ripe pro-
duct-to grass.-LSve Stock Journal.

Fattening Calves ON Skinned Milk.

Fattening Calves on Skinned Milk.
A lady correspondent writes to the Ger.
mantown Telegraph giving her method of
raising veal calves and at the same time say
ing the cream:
My principal object is to show farmers and
Others that they can raise or even veal their
calves without giving them the new milk
fresh from the COW. The best food to fatten
calf, without whole milk, is oil-meal, mo-
lasses, and skim milk for the first two weeks,
after which little oat or barley meal may be
USED. A calf can be made to weigh one hcn-
dred and twenty to one hundred and forty
pounds at four weeks old, never having had
any new milk was good. The oil-meal should
be scalded and allowed to form thick mu-
cilage before being mixed with the skinned
milk The molasses may be added directly
to the milk and the whole may be given
Dlood-warm. The proper quantity for
young calf is tablespoonful of oil-meal, the
same of molasses divided into three parts for
one days feed, added to the milk. After the
first week it may be gradually increased, and
at the commencement of the third week a
spoonful of oilmeal and molasses may be
given to each feed; quart of boiling water
being turned on to the meal over night, and
also in the morning to form mucilage, and
a spoonful of oat or barley meal be added, but
this should be cooked. At present prices the
whole feed will not cost more than one dollar
tor five weeks, and an early calf of the weight
mentioned will bring from ten to twelve dol
lars. l raised one late in the season two
years ago, by this method that cost less than
one dollar for feed aside from the skinned
milk, and brought nearly ten dollars. Should
they have scours give them a tea made by
boiling corn cobs in water and add to the
milk.

Effect of Camphor on Seeds Curious Il K.
periments,

Some curious and all but forgotten expert
ments, of much interest to agriculture and
gardening, observes a London paper, have
lately been revived by German savant. Very
many years ago it was discovered and recorded
that water saturated with camphor had re-
markable influence upon. the termination of
seeds. Like many another useful hint, the
stupid world took no notice of this intimation
but Berlin professor came across the record
Of it, and he appears to have established the
fact that a solution of camrhor stimulates
vegetables as alcohol does animals. He took
seeds in various sorts of pulse, some of the
samples being three or four years old, and
therefore possessing very slight degree of
vitality. He divided these parcels, placing
one moiety OF them between sheets OF blottipg
paper simply wetted, and the other under
soaked in the camphorated water. In many
cases the seeds did not swell at all under the
influence of the simple moisture, but in every
case they terminated where they were subject
ed to the camphor solution. The experiment
was extended to different kinds of garden
seeds, old and new, and always with the same
result of showing a singular awakening of
dormant vitalism and wonderful quickening
of growth. 1t also appears from the profess
sor's researches that the young plants thus set
shooting continued to increase with vigor and
vivacity much beyond that of those which were
not so treated On the other hand, when
pounded camphor was mixed with the soil, it
appeared to exercise rather bad effect upon
seeds The dose in the latter case was possibly
too strong, At all events, there is here line
ofinquiry well worth following up by seedsmen
and gardeners; and even farmers might try
how far wheat and barley would profit from
the strange property which seems to be pos
sessed by this drug over the latent life of vege-
table germs.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Artificial Milk.

Oleomargarine butter and cheese have
found their way into the markets, and now
it is announced that an organic chemist has
prepared an artificial milk, made by emulsi-
flying fatty matters with an artificial serum.
This is done as follows, which we quote
Forty or fifty grams t15.433 grains avoirdu-
pois) of saccharine matter (lactin, cane-sugar
or glucose) twenty or thirty grams of dried
albumen 1.-THE dried white of egg as met with
in Parls), and one or two grams of crystals of
soda carbonate, are dissolved in half.litre OF
water, and the whole is emulsifed with fifty
or sixty grains of olive oil, or other cosmeti-
BILE fatty matter. The emulsifcation takes
place best at moderate temperature, that of
sos or 609 being sufficient The liquid thus
prepared has the appearance OF cream, and
requires to be mixed with twice its volume
OF water to acquire the consistence and as
pect of milk. To prepare a fluid approach
ing cream in its qualities, gelatine is substi-
tuted for albumen; one hundred grams of
fat are emulsified in litre of serum, con-
tanning two or three grams of gelatine. Ar
tificial cream prepared in this way shows no
tendency to separate into fat or serum. A
chemist, in discussing the preceding sugges-
ton, gives his testimony as to the deprivng
fats of all unpleasant odor by mere subsection
to an appropriate temperature. He also
states that very good artificial milk can be
prepared from DOneS rlcn IN IaC, Dy purifying
this fat by means of superheated steam, and
combining the fat thus obtained with gela-
tine. This milk is, it is said, almost like that
of the COW; and, when kept. acquires first
the odor of sour milk, then that of cheese.
The gelatine in it represents the casein; the
fat, the sugar, the sugar of milk. 1t serves
for the preparation of coffee and chocolate,
of soups and creams of excellent flavor, and
its cost is but trifing.
If all in the dairy line that is now done
and proposed to do in the way of producing
dairy products artiicially, succeed, it would
seem to look as if the COW for dairy purposes
is to be supplanted. That these purely arti-
fetal goods should be sold for what they
really are, oleo.margarine butter, cheese and
milk, is what the public have right to de-
mand, as they also have to be protected
against such manifest fraud as the selling of
such goods for butter, cheese and milk
names long used to signify quite different
class of goods from those now produced by
organic chemists, to which these old names
are applied. Let all buy and use these new
products that desire them, and buy them for
what they are, oleo-margarine, not for butter
cheese and milk, which, in common par
lance they are not.-Am. Cult5uator.
