A Dangerous Toy Pistol.

A dangerous toy pistol has made it's ap- pearance in all the large cities, and it is thought that unless it's sale is prohibited (which has been done in Philadelphia and is likely to be in Cincinnati) it will be the cause of a loss of a number of juvenile lives It is intended to be used in firing blank cartridges for Fourth of July amusement, but will take in cartridge loaded with ball, and it does not require prophets vision to foresee that such cartridges will be frequently used by accident or purposely. Some of the boys are filling up the barrels of these dangerous playthings with sand after having loaded them with a blank cartridge. No better means of blowing out eyes could be devised Should pebble happen to find it's way into the barrel with the sand, life would be en- dangered. d.-Noracich Bulletin.

How TO Tell Good Butter.

When butter is properly churned. both
rs to the time and temperature. it becomes
firm with very little working. and it is
tenacious but its most desirable state is
waxy. when it is easily moulded into anv
shape. and may be drawn out a cou>idera-
BILE length without breaking. 1t is then
styled gilt edged. 1t is only in this state
that butter possesses that rich nutty flavor
and smell, and shows up a rich golden
yellow color. which imparts So high de
gree OF pleasure in eating it. and which in
creases its value manifold. II is not al =
ways necessary. when it smells sweet, to
taste butter in Judging it. The smooth
unctuous feeling in rubbing little be-
tween the finger and thumb expresses at
once its rich quality; the nutty smell and
rich aroma indicate similar taste; and
the bright golden. glistening. cream-col-
ored surface shows its height Of cleanli-
ness. 1t may be necessary at times to use
the trier. or even use it until YOU become
an expert in testing by taste, smell and

Why Does TimOthy Run Out!

Mr.. NJ. s. Gold. West Cornwall, Conn.
writes as follows in the y. +. Homestead
of some Of the theories put forword to ac-
count for the running out of timothy, and
OF his purpose to try plan that has prov
cd successful in the case of clover:
The disappearance of timothy from
our natural moving is variously account
ed for. First. it is charged tn the now
ing machine as cutting too closely. We
usually run our machine at medium
height. rarely using the closest cut, but
would prefer the medium or highest.
Here we encounted difficulty from the
fingers clogging with fine grass, so the
we could not use the highest cut, and the
machine would run over much of the
lodged grass. Second. it is charged to
too early moving. rs we NOW some two
weeks or month earlier than formerly.
Timothy runs out most upon seedlings of
the early cut meadows. Third. we agree
with those who attribute il to the peculiar
character of our seasons rather than to
either of the above. Some period of each
year tor the last ten. has been remarkably
dry, and the timothy has never recovered
form the effects. As timothy is cut earlier
there is less natural rcseeding than
iormerely. also less is fod,ered out on the
fields. scattering the seeds. shall try
reseeding with timothy, with top dressing
and the Thomas smoothing harrow.
have tried red clover successfully in that
way. This seems to be the best means to
overcome the white daisy. Give an abuu-
dant top dressing. thirty cart loads per
acre. and four quarts of clover seed har-
rowed in. Two applications will surely
prove efiectual on any reasonably good
land

Mlistellaneous.


Il is we'll known that berbiyorous- ami
mails are fond of common salt. and this *
as true Of wild animals az of those domes-
ticated BY man. Carnivornus animals. on
the other hand, either have no liking for
salt or show positive aversion for it
Cats. for example. will rarely touch salt
meat. This difference is not easily ex-
planned. The blood Of both classes Of an
finals contains a certain amount Of soda
salts, but the quantity Of soda in vege-
table diet is not necessarily less than in
one Of flesh. a German experimenter.
Herr Bunge, has been the first to suggest
plausible solution Of the enigma. 4
vegetable diet furnishes twice a. much
potash as flesh diet does. and it occurred
to him that the greater supply Of potash
must be attended with greater waste OF
soda. To test this theory experimentally,
he put himself upon a perfectly uniform
diet of beef, bread, butter. sugar, and
small quantity of salt. When, by daily
analysis Of the urine. he found that the
quantity Of soda and potash excreted had
become constant, he proceeded to take
such dose Of potash salts during the
day, as would raise the amount
of potash in his diet TO level
with that daily consumed by her
bivorous animal The result was an I'M
mediate excretion of chloride Of sodium
in the urine, the amount being at once in
creased three fold. Much potash was OF
course. also passed. The experiment wa
repeated at various times, employing dlt-
ferent salts of potash, but also with SINH
lar result, "A dose Of potash in every case
producing an immediate excretIon Of soda.
Bunge believes that this tendency Of pot
ash TO produce a greater waste OF soda IN
the system, is the cause of the desire
shown by herbivorous animals for com
mon salt Their vegetable diet Is 9ener-
ally very rich in potash. and they instInc-
lively seek an additional supply Of soda
Soda does not seem To be an essential in
gredient Of plants. but is certainly indls-
pensible in the animal economy. In the
muscle and in the blood corpuscles. potash
is an essential constituent; but in the fluid
portion of the blood. potash is injurious,
and If injected. even in small doses, pro
duces death. Soda salts, on the other
hand, can be injected with safety, and
their presence in the blood is essential to
the continuation of vital processes,-Jonr-
