COlorinG Butter.

1t is claimed that annatto is super
ior to carrots for coloring butter, be-
cause in using the latter the vegetable
matter incorporated is likely to decay
and impart II bad flavor. The annatto
is also Il vegetable substance, but be
ing dissolved in potash only the mere
coloring matter is left. and such Il
minute quantity is needed that it cam
not impart any flavor to the butter.
1t is doubtful, however. if butter is
any the better for being colored. The
object is to make it sell better in the
market. but any butter. if Il first rate
article, will readily sell without being
colored. At best the system is u
doubtful one.

No Economy.

The niggarlliness which leads peo-
pie to economize in the matter Of food
is pitiablc. There are those who really
grudge ten cents for vegetables. be-
cause they say it is too dear; others
will restrict their children in milk;
others will buy no fish because there is
nothing in it.; others will deny tho lit
tie ones refreshing orange or banana,
and others will never have pudding
on the table. Meat and bread. hot
cakes. chops and steaks they call cheap.
because it is real food. These people
forget that variety really nourishes the
body. and makes up for that food
which alone can supply our require
men,s. Besides that there is no real
economy in it. Meat and bread cost
more thaa vegetables and buildings
combined with them. The former leave
you cra ing for something else, while q
good mixed diet supplies all your wants.

Stacking Wheat.

There is no question but that it is
Il great deal better for the farmer IL
stack his wheat and let it go through
the universal sweat before threshing.
than il is to thrcsh out of the shocks
and let the wheat sweat in the bin.
II is law OF nature that wheat will
sweat. The only time when wheat
shonld he threshed ont OF the shock
is. when il is To he Immediately sold
and delivered AT once. Then those
who purchase the grain can take the
risk Of the liability of the damage
which is caused by the heating process
in the bin. Then. again, wheat that
is we'll stacked for the matter of six
OF eight weeks before it is threslcd,
will weigh more to the bushel than

When you have an inflamcd eye, a
swclled hand, or dccayed and aching
tooth, you do not take and fill your
stomach with drugs to cure 1t, but apply
a cooling lotion or some soothing narcot-
ic directly to the parts. So if you
have weak or lame back, sore kidneys,
profuse or scanty urine, or the secrctory
system is clogged and inactive, you
should use Prof. Guilmette's French
Kidney Pad, which is directly loca-
application, which always give speedy
relief and always cures the disease. Ask
your druggist for it.

Our Stnte Fair.

We are much pleased to learn that
the good people of Rochester have
taken measures 10 put the grounds in
complete order for the use of the
state Fair this fall. The buildings
already on the grounds are TO he en-
larged. and several new ones are to he
added, all of which, when repaired
and completed. will make the grounds
and surroundings just as nice and
convenient Il place to hold Il fair rs
there is in the state. Naturally these
grounds at Rochester are beautiful as
well us convenient, and when the
necessary Improvements are made
they cannot be eXcelled for the pur
poses intended. We believe the APP
preaching state fair will by all odds
be the largest and the best patroniZcd
of any fair ever held 10y the state
society. We have adyiccs of the
most encouragin" character in re-
lation 10 the blOuded stock that will
be on exhibition at the fair. We
learn, also That the farmers generally
in the central part of the state are
determined Ia make the fair Il success.
They can do SO If they will take hold
Ia earnest. The officers oi the society
viii certainly do their part and more

A Muldoon Sinner.

There is one good story they tell
about Hallcnbcck, the young lay assist
ant, left with us as Il legacy by Moody
and Sankcy, which deserves to go on
record.
Mr.. ii. was preaching out in Hayes
Valley, some three weeks ago, when
the most "solid' citizen in that section
arose and made q few remarks: He
rather pompously told how he Lad be-
come converted, and then went on to
say that the revival had his entire APP
probation, and that he was. on the
whole, quite satisfied with the resul q
accomplished. He hoped his example
would greatly encourage those around
him, and he wished it understood that
should 1t be needed he was quite ready
to subscribe $500 to prevent the good
cause from failing.
After he had sat down, Hallenbeck,
who appeared to be listening with ex-
trcmc attention, turned quietly to the
congregation and said:
as there any other miserable. purse
proud, repcntant sinner who would like
to say few words before the meeting
procceds?"
There was something E;Orc than .
'.smile of peace rs the prominent
party looked at his watch and quietly
drifted Out.-,Sun francisco Chronicle

When Harvey Lake. of Spencer, N.
Y. died, leaving $4,000 and no will,
his brother and sister took possession.
Harvey was bachelor, and when they
entered into possession the heirs gave
his adopted son an old bureau as his
share Of tho estate. To this they added
a blessing and set the unfortunate
youth out of doors. But when he had
taken his heritage to new house and
was arranging his effects in it, he found
a properly executed will which gave
him all of Harvey Lakes property.
Harvey Lakes brother and sister con-
tested this, of course. but the law ac-
cepted it. and the youth has moved his
old bureau back into his old home, and
settled down with it.
