The LegaI Tender (Ill. says; /


Write to your congressman. Agi-
tate the question. Organize, arm and
equip for the conflict. Hang as high
rs Hannah, any man in office who pros
titutes the power with which you
have clothed him, to rob and beggar
your children. There is plot on foot
to rob and enslave you! That plot
has been contaminated and legalized.
Do not deceive yourselves with the
idea that we write for sensation, or
are sounding II false alarm. From
our standpoint we can see the foe adj
vancing. We warn you in season to
escape, if you heed our words. Sever
all party ties and remove all political
barriers between you. Unite for self
preservation. Call meetings, and
speak with one voice in thunder tones
that shall shake the national capitol
from dome to cellar, and cease not till
the Shylock robber is driven from the
land of Columbia, and our government
made a protector Of the people instead
of a shield for foreign banditti.
This may sound extravagant, but
one has only to read the revelations in
reference to the school book ring to
see how desperately the plunderers of
the people pursue their purposes.

vigorously. One journal says:
:7This is the thing who, while pretending
to4old up the lowly Jesus as an example,
had the cheeky audacity, to charge VI 900 for

CLOVER SET.-There was much complaint,
last season, shat the clover did not take
well. Now, let those who failed to get
good set, try the experiment of sowing
more seed. There are two advantages in
this. With more seed upon the soil, there
is better prospect that more will vegetate,
and where sown thickly it will smother out
nearly all the annual weeds the first season,
and so weakens and retards the biennial
class that they mature little or no seed the
first year and almost entirely disappear the
second. Glover is great fertilizer, and its
growth does not take much strength from
the soil, not as much as is returned to it
from the atmosphere, which is from 80 to
90 per cent. A good clover hay turned
under for wheat, is equal to dressing of
guano, and leaves the land in even better
condition. The success of British farmers,
on land which has been in tillage for hun
dreds of years, is owing to the turning in of
green crops Instead Of being " worn out, j"
as with us, it grows better under such treat
ment, and the yield is from so to 60 bushels
to the acre, instead of 20 to 80 as here.
The farmer who depends on buying arti
fetal manure will get ahead very slowly
He must make his own manure if he would
have the best results.

How TO Cook GRIDDLE CAKEs.-There are
few persons who do not love buckwheat
cakes and griddle.cakes of various kinds,
but baking them on the ordinary iron grid
die is regarded as such nuisance, from
the smoke and smell they create, but the
luxury is much less frequently INDUCED
than the appetite Graves. We find that it
is not generally known that griddle cakes
can be baked with as little smell or smoke
as a loaf of bread in an oven. TO do this
it is necessary only to use soapstone in
stead Of an iron griddle. 1t is one of the
best cooking utensils ever invented, but has
never attained the popularity it deserves
because very few people know how to use
it, The surface should be carefully cleaned
with piece Of brown paper at brief inter
walls during the baking, and when done il
should be thoroughly cleaned with piece
of sand paper. This last is all absolute re
quisite of success. No grease Of any kline
is needed, and consequently no unpleasant
odor created, while a single stone will las
for years in almost constant use. Any
person who thus used it once will nsve
want to do without it. This statement j
based on an experience Of many years.

To DESTROY CHICKEN LICE.-An exchange
gives the following recipe for getting rid of
these pests:
Last Summer our hen-houss was so in.
Tested with this vermin that the setting
hens died on their nests. One afternoon
noticed the martins carrying to their box
which was on a pole above the hennery-
some green leaves. Watching thern j
found they were getting the leaves of the
male persimmon. l gathered some of the
leaves, threw them into the nest on the hen
house floor, and in less than one hour the
house was free from vermin. To boil the
leaves and sprinkle with the decoction will
be as effective.--Southern Cultigator.

A new industry has been started in
Mansfield, Mass. 1t is no less than the
manufacture of jewelry out of sour milk.
This seems strange anomaly, but it is a
fact The milk comes in the shape Of curd
from butter and cheese-making counties
in New York, and looks, upon its arrival, a
good deal like popped corn; but before it
leaves the shop it undergoes a wonderful
change, and receives the name of African
coral. The secret in making it up is care
fully guarded, but it is certain that it has
to be heated very hot, during which color
ing matter is introduced, followed by a
very heavy pressure. Some of it is colored
black and called jet, while some appears
as celluloid. 1t makes very handsome
jewelry, and is made into all kinds and
styles known in the tradc.-,Scient;fc Nc,cs

BUcKwHEAT.-This grain is a native of
Asia, and was brought to this country by
the earliest settlers. 1t was cultivated
among the Dutch along the Hudson as
early as 1926, and afterwards in the settle
ments of the Swedes on the Delaware.
From these sections its cultivation spread
over New York, New Jersey and Pennsylva-
MIA, wherever clearings were made, and
buckwheat cakes and wild honey at that
early period were a common and much ap.
preciated dish. The three States named
have since been great producers of the
grain, and is extending 50 rapidly through
the north and northwest that the present
annual yield exceeds 3O,OOO,O0O bushels.

LEATHER SHOES FOR HORsEs-In England
they are adopting horseshoe made of cow
hide, and known as the Yates shoe. It's
composed Of three thicknesses of cowhide
compressed into steel mould and then
subjected to Il chemical preparation. 1t is
claimed for it that it lasts longer and weighs
only one-fourth much as the common
iron shoe: taH' }or cause the hoof
to split, nor nave the least injurious infu-
ence on the foot. 1t requires no calks
even on asphalt the horse never slips. The
shoe is so elastic thatthe horses step is
lighter and surer. 1t adheres so closely to
the foot that neither dust nor water can
penetrate between the shoe and hoof.
