A Camnaign Slapder.


When DR.. r V. Pierce was a candid ate for
State Senator, his political opponents pub
lished Q pretended analysis of his popular
medicines, hoping thereby to prejudice the
people against him His election by an over
wheiming majority severely rebuked his tra-
ducers, who sought to impeach his business
integrity. No notice would have been taken
of these campaign Les were it not that some
OF his enemies (snd every successful business
man has his full quota Of envious rivals) are
republishing these bogus analyses. Numerous
and most absurd formulas have been published
purporting to come from high author and
it Is q significant fact that no two have been
slike-conclusively proving the dishonesty of
their authors
The following is from the Buffalo CONNER
cidL Of Oct. 23d, 1877
Hardly a dozen years ago he (Dr. Pierce) came
here, young and unknown man, almost friend-ss,
with no capital except his own manhood, which,
however, included plenty Of brains and pluck in
domitable perseverance, and inborn uprghtness-
sve country If only he has good health and habits as
we'll He had all these great natural advantages and
medicine and been regularly licensed to practice as
physician. But he was still student, fond OF nyes
important remedial agencies or compounds Not
choosing to wait weary for the sick and suffering
nd out without anybody tell them) that he could
do them good he advertised his medicines and invited
the whole profession OF every school, TO examine and
pronounce Judgment upon his formulas. He adver-
shrewdness, and with method which is in itself a
lesson to all who seek business. by that perfectly
legitimate means. His success has been something
marveous-so great indeed that il be due to in
trinsc merit in the articles he sells than to
his unparalleled skill in the Of printers ink The
present writer once asked dstinguis he'd dispensing
druggist explain the secret of the almost universal
demand for DR.. Pierces medicines. He said they
were in fact genuine medicines,-such compounds as
every good physician would prescribe for the diseases
which they advertised to cure of course, they
cost less than druggist would charge for the
article supplied on a physicians prescription, and
besides there the doctors fee saved. Moreover,
buyIng the drugs in such enormous quantities, hay
ing perfect apparatus for purifying and cOmpounding
the mixture he could not only better articles in
the first place, but present the medicine in better
form and cheaper than the same mixture could Dos
sihly be obtained from any other source
II may be thought that all this having reference to
DR.. Pierces private business has no point whatever
when considered in connection with the proper quail
fcations Of q candidate for the Senate. Perhaps.
But il is the fashion now, and will be for fortnight
more, with sundry journals, TO make sneering alu-
eions 10 this very matter. After that brief period,
they will be quite ready TO go doing his work
before, and always before, TO speak Of him as a
great public bensfastor."

A Model for Printers.

Stephen A. Haviland, printer, who
died in New York, was an apprentices
to William E. Dean, who is now in the
ninety-ninth year of his age, and went
to learn the trade first at the age of
twelve years, in 1923. He was perhaps
the most correct printer or compositor
of the age. He has been known to set
up form of twelve pages q 200 ems in
the page, in Greek, Latin and English,
without making a single mistake in the
twelve pages. He one time set up the
whole Of concordance for the Bible,
in diamond type without a mistake.
He was in the employ of the Methodist
book concern at the time of his death
and has been in its employ for the last
thirty years, during twenty-five of
which he was "revise" proofreader.
He was sixty-six years Of age.

HEN GUANo.-The manure of the
fowl house is so rich that it should be
mixed with three or four times its own
bulk of swamp muck or some similar
substance, for if applied undiluted ii
will burn and kill plants and prevent
termination. Ii is estimated that a sim
gle hens exerement during year is
equivalent to fifteen pounds of guano
and experiments have shown that the
droppings of twenty-five fowls, pro-
perly composted, during the year will
make manure enough for an acre.

A GOOD cow in full flow of milk will
often lose flesh even on flush pastures.
The reason is, that the secretion of milk
is then the paramount instinct, and it is
often exhibited to a greater extent than
can be supported by the food given, and
hence, the animal being in good cOndi-
ton, the fat and flesh previously held
is called upon. In fact tits now gener-
ally considered that COW will yield
more in butter than she would store as
fat, and for the reason that, when
giving milk, the appetite is constantly
stimulated and she eats more. So, when
the product is manufactured into cheese
the yield of fat and flesh-forming sub
stances Will be greater than would be
laid on by the animal when out of
milk. Hence, the economy OF furnish
ing the animal with plenty of the best
and most easily digested food. .-Prdirie

ORNAMENT AND UTILITY.-With very
little additional cost and trouble, the
unsightly structures erected here and
there about the home grounds might be
converted into ornaments. Especially
is this apparent in the winter season,
when they are not concealed by the
foliage of the vines, which cover up
their ugliness.
1t is, indeed, a matter of surprise that
so many owners of country homes over
look the beautiful when utility and
beauty might just as well be combined.
Small out-houses, grapevine arbors and
frequented walks may not only be made
beautiful ornaments TO the garden, but
shady resting-places, where those who
so desire, in the heat of the summer
day, or even during warm, sunshiny
winter weather, may find pleasant re-
treat. There are scores of hardy vines
that, with trifie of care, may be made
to cover such arbOrs, rendering them
most attractive in themselves, and OBJ
jects which, together, serve to form the
outdoor attractions of home. 1t is, We
repeat, a matter of surprise, when We
think of these things, that the grounds
about so many country dwellings are,
as if from choice, utterly neglected.

DOMESTIC.

ROAST Pig, to be nice, should not be
less than three or more than six weeks
old, and should weigh from eight to
fourteen pounds. Wash 1t thoroughly
with soda and water, then rinse it in salt
and water, and finally In clear water !;
wipe dry inside and out, and fill with q
dressing made of boiled potatoes mashed
very smooth and beaten until light,
with the addition OF generous piece Of
butter, two eggs, half chopped onion,
powdered sage, pepper and salt to taste
stuff the pig into a nice comfortable
shape, sew up, the fore feet bent back
ward and the hind feet forward; dust
with flour, and put it in the dripping
pan with very little boiling water.
Baste often with butter and salt water
and the drippings, and when it begins
to brown rub it very often with a lump
of butter tied in a cloth. This will
make the skin crisp and tender. Cook
for two or three hours, according to the
size; when done, set it for five minutes
in freezing cold place, then garnish
with curled parsley and sliced lemon.
Put slice of lemon or small bouquet of
flowers in the mouth, garland Of
parsley round the neck, and trim the
edge of the platter with plenty of parsley
and lemon. Turn the drippings from
the pan, leaving only little; thicken
this with little flour; let it brown,
then add water, wine, lemon juice, and
salt and pepper to taste; let 1t boil
until il thickens and strain it into a
gravy boat Always serve fresh-made
apple sauce with roasted pig.

A PRETTY MANrLEpIEcE ORNAMENT.

A PRETTY MANTLEPIECE ORNAMENT
A pretty ornament may be obtained by
suspending an acorn by piece Of thread
tied around it, within half an inch of
the surface Of some water contained in
vase, tumbler, or saucer, aud allow
ing it to remain undisturbed for several
weeks. 1t will soon burst open, and
small roots will seek the water; a
straight and tapering stem as beauti-
full as those of the oak. The water
should be changed once a month, taking
care to supply water of the same
warmth; bits of charcoal added to il
will prevent the water from souring.
If the little leaves burn yellow, put a
grain of nitrate of ammonia in the
utensil which holds the water, and it
will renew their Iuxuriance.

To POLISH SHE'LL CoNBs.-Take a
chamois skin, put a teaspOOnful of
sperm oil in the centre and add rotten
stone, as much as the oil will take up.
Polish your comb, or other shell work.
with the rotten stone and oil and finish
with dry rotten stone, using the dry
part of the chamois. Never wash your
chamois; keep it for polishing; it will
last for years. In delicate machinery,
fine lock, jewelry, &C., never use olive
oil, or any other vegetable oils, nothing
but the best sperm; all others are dry
ing oils, and instead of lubricating
leave a gum that will soon ruin a
machine or lock.

New FRENCH METHOD OF WASHING

New FRENCH METHOD OF WASHING.
"A new system of washing has lately
been introduced in some French towns
which is worthy of special mention. Its
economy is so great as to reduce the cost
to the following figures: Five centimes
D2d.) for a pair of drawers; two and a
half centimes (l4d.) for each shirt, and
SO on. This is the process: One kilo
[two pounds) of soap is reduced with a
little water to a sort of pap, which,
having been slightly warmed, is cooled
in forty five liters tten gallons) of
water, to which is added one spoonful
of turpentine oil and two spoonfuls of
ammonia; then the mixture is agitated.
The water is kept at a temperature
which may be borne by the hand. In
this solution the white clothes are put,
and left there for two hours before
washing them with soap, taking care in
the meantime to cover the tub. The
solution may be warmed again and used
once more, but it will be necessary to
add half spoonful of turpentine and
another spoonful of ammonia. Once
washed with soap, the clothes are put
in warm water, and the blue Is applied.
This process, ii is obvious, spares much
time, much labor, and fuel, while IL
gives to the clothes a whiteness much
superior to that obtained by any other
method, and the destructive use of the
wash board or ofpounding is not neces-
cary TO clean the cloths from the i'm
purities which they contain.

RESTORING THE Color OF LACE-Lace
may be restored to its original white
ness by first ironing it slightly, then
folding it and sewing it into a clean
linen bag, which is placed Tor twenty
four hours in pure olive oil. After
wards the bag is to be boiled in solu-
ton of soap and wster for fifteen
minutes, then well rinsed in lukewarm
water, and final dipped into water con-
tanning a slight proportion of starch.
The lace is then to be taken from the
bag and stretched on pins to dry.

RED ANTs.-Wet a sponge with water
in which some sugar has been dissolved /;
squeeze the sponge as dry as possible,
saving the sugar water, and set the
sponge where the ants infest. 1t will
soon be full of them. Dip it in scalding
water, which will kill the ants. Dip il
again in the sugar water and set it.
You will soon catch all the ants and
destroy them.

AGRICULTURE.

VALUE OF COB MEAL.-From expert
ments made in feeding a nerd OF some
dozen or more milch COWS, one OF our
correspondents near Worcester, Mass,
writes us that he is pretty well satisfied
that for producing milk the cob meal
from our northern corn, that is, the
meal from the corn and cob ground to-
gether is worth nearly or quite as much,
bushel for bushel, as the clear meal from
western or southern corn. He raised a
GOOD crop of corn on his farm, and has
been feeding ii in the form OF cob meal
10 his cows in milk, and found very lit
tie difference in the yield from this and
clear meal from western corn. As our
correspondent sells all his milk, he
would certainly notice any material in
crease or decrease in the production
from day to day, and after making sew
eral changes from clear meal 10 cob
meal. and from cob meal to clear meal
again. he was forced to the conclusion
thar the difference in value for feeding
purposes, bulk for bulk lis certainly very
small indeed. Allowing this to be true,
he concludes that farmers here in New
England may yet find it profitable to
prOUCce lneiT own gram ioi lccuihS
their dairy herds, thus saving great
annual expense in the way of grain
bills. If dairy farmer can raise his
own meal for his cows, he will find the
net profits at the end of the year con-
siderably increased, for most milkmen
claim it takes about all the milk money
TO paw for the milk bought from the
village store on the return trip.
There is one advantage in feeding
cob meal which is often overlooked by
farmers. Cob meal lies up light and
porous in the stomach and is easily
mingled with the fluid secretions neces-
sary for perfect digestion. while clear
meal, especially if ground fine, lies very
compactly in a mass, and is difficult OF
digestion on that account. Shorts mixed
with clear meal act as divider, rem
dering the latter more readily diges-
tible under the action of the gastric Sc
cretions of the animal. but as cob meal
may be produced at home, it may, on
the whole, often be cheaper food than
purchased corn and wheat shorts. The
subject is worthy of further expert
ment.-Nesc England Farmer.

Prot. Pettenkcfer, at the recent meet

duty Of scientific investigators "Na-

and truths, and need never busy itself
about the immediate practical applica-
tion of what has been found, because
for them alone it deserves the sympathy
of the entire civilized world, and the
means necessary for its culture and de-
velopment."
