House and Farm.
The Practical I'm Farming.


Why is it that SO many men who
earn their living by cultivatlng farms
seem to feel contempt for advice on
farming which appears in agricultural
or other journals ? 1t is true that this
contempt has vsrnish Of justification
in that this advice is sometimes not
good to be followed by every one, but
it is equally true that the practice Of
many farmers is equally to be shun-
ned SO far as plans and methods of
farming are concerned. There is Of
ten too much scorn expressed by our
farmers tor articles appearing in
print, on the apparent ground of the
merely theoretical character Of the
device or plan mentioned. Those who
speak thus lightly Of the written ad-
vice often would accept it if it were
spoken. 1t is too often thought that
ifa man tells his experience through
the paper that he is a book farmer
only, when the factis that such a man
has a double advantage over his con-
ceited neighbor who imaglnes that
nothing is to be learned from reading,
but only by getting between the
plough handles. True, practice is
necessary, as no farmer will deny,
but the experience Of one farmer, il
properly detailed IN the telling, is as
valuable on many points to his broth
er farmers on grain raising, stock bree-
ding, ETC., as would be the actual ex-
perience. We read short time age
q letter in an agricultural journal, In
which the RAIDERS Of the paper were
told that a young man by taking a
hint from it acquired competency
II the farmers who are successful IL
their different operations would occa-
sional!y give details OF their plans, II
would certainly do much to MD thell
fellows. Then do not De afraid to
put on paper what you have tried and
found out to be true. Do not hesitate
because you do not write very we'll, OF
your hand is little stiff. The work
o. that hand guided by an active
brain will be the best TESTIMONY tc
the value of your experience, and this
will be Of practical value to the farm
er who has never yet tried this par
ticular method. Experience is valua'
BILE both to the person who has had II
himself and to the one to whom 1t i,
properly told. The work of The prac
teal farmer is of inestlmable value tt
Others when it is properly detailed.

GRAPE CATsUr. - Several have
asked for a recipe to make this. The
only recipe we have seen is one we
received from far western house
keeper, some twenty years ago. She
prepared from the common wild
grapes a sauce which she called grape
catsup, finding it so delicious with
cold meats on the table, We afterwards
asked for the recipe, which is as fol-
lows: StcI1 the grapes, place in a
k attle or preserving pan, which, to
prevent scorching, is set within an.
other vessel Of water. TO each quart
Of grapes add teaspooniui each Of
cinnamon and mace, botA broken fine,
aud half a teaspoonful Of bruised
cloves. Cook for an hour. and pass
the Juice and pulp through coander
or sieve. To each quart Of this add a
pound Of sugar, and boil until nearly
Jelly. Then thin to proper con
sistence to flow from the bottle, with
vinegar, cork, seal, and put in a cool
place.

WHAT is wanted to turn the State of Ohio over to
the Democracy is a good, stiff temperance movement
-CtnefnRatt Commercial
We are in favor of temperance but we for the
are Republicans and all the Temperance legislation
has come out of the Republican party. Therefore
would consider it the heighth of folly to endanger
the ascendency of the Republican party by running
after the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Star.
We do not know about that. First,
is such legislation right? That ends
the inquiry. If right, pass the bill;
if wrong, defeat it.
Nearly all horse thieves, and other
criminals, are Democrats, $50 said
Horace Greeley, Democratic candidate
for President, in 1922 and hence the
Republicans must not pass laws against
horse stealing, and other crimes, as it
might offend Democrats, and keep
them out Of the Republican party.
We have no such words as policy
compromise" or ''expediency" in our
vocabulary. First inquire what is the
right, then do it, and leave the results
with God. That is our kind of faith
and religion.

In another place we refer to Pumb-
lechook and Wopsle. two sniveling
hypocrites described by Charles Dick
ems in 'Great Expectations" The
boy Pip, in speaking Of one Of them
says:
"Mr Wopsle, the clerk at Church,
was to dine with us. x *
Mr.. Wopsle, united to a Roman nose
and large shining bald-forehead, had
deep voice which he was uncommon
ly proud Of; indeed, it was understood
among his acquaintance that if you
could only give him his head, he could
read the clergyman into fits; he him
self confessed that if the Church was
"thrown open" meaning to competi-
ton, he would not despair of making
his mark in it. The Church not be-
ing 'thrown open," he was, as | have
said, our clerk. But he punished the
Amens tremendously; and when he
gave out the psalm, always giving
the whole verse, he looked all around
the congregation first, as much as to
say, "You have heard our friend over
head; oblige me with your opinion Of
this styler'
Pip goes on at length to give an
accounted how these hypocrites lee
tured him at the dinner table, and
then says this Of Wopsle: Il think
the Romans must have aggravated one
another very much, with their noses.
Perhaps they became the restless peo-
Pile they were in consequence. Any
how, Mr.. Wopsle's Roman nose so ag-
gravated me, during the recital Of my
misdemeanors, that j should have
liked to pull it until he howled."
Reader, are you acquainted with
Wopsle? Yes. You know him well.
It is conceded that he can make the
''ablest prayer" Of any man in the
church, not even excepting the cler-
gyman himself

In 1861, Hugh M. Page was Cap
tain in the U. S. Navy. He rendered
his resignation when hostilities began,
because of his sympathy with the re-
bellion. At the time Of his resigna-
tion there was due him, on his salary,
S136.85. On last Friday the Rebel
Democrats in the lower house Of Con-
gress worked all day, like fine fellows,
trying to get through bill providing
for the payment Of this sum to the
widow Of Capt. Page. The zeal with
which the Democrats worked to Sc
cure the payment Of this small amount
aroused the suspicious Of the Repub-
licans Chittenden, of New York,
went to the Democrats and proposed
to pay the amount out Of his own
pocket. Hendrick B. Wright, Of
Pennsylvania, Greenbacker. did the
same. Both these offers were indig-
nantly rejected by the Democrats
Then the Republicans understood the
scheme. This little bill was to be
used as a precedent, in case Of its pay
ment, for opening the doors of the
Treasury to the great army Of hungry
Rebels who for years have been wait
ing and watching and tendery nurs-
ing their claims" The payment Of
the claim woy Id be violation Of the
statute.
