AdulteratiOn.

Adulteration has become science.
We water our stock, and sand our sugar,
and dilute our prayers with many words,
and have fallen 50 low that we use glue
in our ice cream. What an appetizing
combination is glue and cream. We
don know what the glue is made of,
and for that matter we don't know what
the cream is made of, though we have
strong feeling that any self-reSpecting
COW would repudiate the idea that she
had anything to do with its manuiact-
ure, but when the glue and the cream
are properly compounded one is able to
buy heaping plate of the refreshment
at the old price, while the profits of the
saloon keeper are indefinitely increased.
The beauty of the glue is that it makes
the ice cream frothy,, and deludes the
unwary into the belief that he gets a
great deal more than he pays for. There
may, however, be moral side to this
matter, and if glue taken internally will
only make some men stick TO their
word, and make others stick to their
business instead of spending most of
their time attending To other peoples,
it will cease TO be an aduteration and
become boon.-M T. HesGid.

Carrots as Food for Horses.

A correspondent of long experience
calls our attention to the following ex-
tract from the London LiUe Stock Jour
nal, adding that he has himself fed car
rots to cart and other horses for thirty
years with good results, as hundreds of
others have also done throughout the
Eastern States, and that he has never
heard of any injury from their use:
We do not entirely agree with those
who maintain that the carrot is the most
wholesome and nourishing food which
can be given TO horses. The carrot, says
IL agriculture, is excellent when en-
pfOyed rs a tonic for old horses in order
to purify and strengthen the blood; but
its use is dangerous for young horses,
and especially for stations. 1t gives
them too much blood; makes them nery-
Gus, irritable, spiteful or vicious when
at work, and predisposes them to apo
plectic fits if they do not take enough
exercise. Geldings and mares might
not be particularly liable to inconven-
ience of this nature; nevertheless, in all
cases carrots should be given with the
greatest moderation to horses of less
than ten years of age. For horses past
this age they may be harmless; and with
OdlS, may constitute NalUdDlS dIbiCle
of food. Horses eat them with avidity,
especially when they are mixed with
coarse bran. This diet gives horses new
blood, which seems to restore their
youth.
Unfortunately, the carrot is not to
be had all the year round. We need
not regret this, however. An article of
food the effect of which is so powerful
is only valuable when employed for a
time. Its prolonged use is of no good;
for the body can get accustomed to
everything, even to the most violent
medicines, The carrot might be very
appropriately called the regenerator of
old worn-out horses. A horse which
has been improperly treated, is fatigued,
thin and exhausted, improves visibly
when fed upon this generous diet But
if those who have the care of the animal
are not careful to let it take regular ex-
ercise, or to take little blood from it,
or, better still, administer a strong pur-
gative, they will find that, just when the
embonpoint and vigor begin to be no.
ticeable, the horse is seized with apo
plexy, and perishes, just when it APP
peared to be completely made over
again, and fit for work.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Chocolate Biscuits: Mix some choc-
blate powder, with white of eggs, and
powdered loaf sugar, into paste. Mold
this into biscuits and bake them at a
gentle heat on a sheet of white paper.
DR.. T. II. Hoskins, of Vermont,
who has been fruit-grower for thirty
five years and owns an orchard of over
1900 trees, is "willing to confess that
there is great deal still to be learned
about the business" lie adds: IL
have never found the kind of men that
knew it all of much value as teachers"
To mark tools: Cover the part to
be marked with thin coating of tallow
or beeswax. Then, with sharp in
strument, write the name in the tallow,
cutting clearly into il. Then fill in
the letters with nitric acid. Let it re-
main from one to ten minutes. Then
dip in water and rub off, and you will
have the mark etched Y. San.
Pianos and organs are becoming
common at farm houses. This is all
right, as farmers daughters have as
much right to the refined accomplish
ments as city ladies. But in addition to
music, farmers daughters ought to
meal, make bread, make shirts and
4 idresses, and then the man who marries
her gets fortune, whether she has
money or not. -IoiCa State Register
To Prepare Spiced Blackberries To

"A correspondent of the Fruit Re-
cOrder says that cotton soaked in tur-

Japanese Bamboo.

There are some fine old bamboos in a
neighboring grove, standing in SYM
metrical order, their feathery tops
piercing the sky. The bamboo not only
gives voice in its growth, but il grows &c
rapidly that you can see it increase in
height as you look at it. One gentle
man of our party assured me that he
has bamboos growing on his place that
are increasing in height three feet in
twenty-four hours. Our host told me
that the grove we were looking at at
tanned its growth in about thirty days,
and they were at least forty feet in
height. The first few days the growth
is not so rapid as during the last fifteen
days. The bamboo never grows in
diameter aftG leaving the ground.
There are many different species-some
as delicate in their rotundity as lady's
ridingwhip, while some are several
inches in diameter At ripe old age
the bamboo flowers and dies. The
grove we were looking at was standing
in the place where had grown, bios
somed and died some of the same
family. 1t is said that as the "twig is
bent the tree is inclined" AS the bam-
boo shows itself ut two feet above the
ground, it remains in girth during its
life. 1t shows the same appearance al
ways. The secret of its tinely-fibered
exterior is thus accounted for. The
bamboo of to-day will be the same un-
til it adorns itself with its death chap
let. 1t is the very personification OF
vigor. When it is once rooted in the
soil it is there for all time, or until
every vestige of root fiber is eradicated.
1t extends its roots in all directions.
and grows as fast almost laterally un-
dergfOund as its shoots do above.
When the shoots make their appear
ance so rapidly do they grow that the
ground is raised and broken about
them. In China, for the punishment
of certain crimes, it is provided that
the culprit shall be bent over grow
ing bamboo-a terrible infiction of
punishment it must be, because it
means nothing more nor less than inn
placement And yet so tender are the
young shoots that they are eaten as a
vegetable, and considered delicacy.-
