The agricultural editor of the Watch
man has the following paragraph on food
adulteration. In our opinion what has
been said on the subject has done some
good. People are awakening to the inn
portance of the matter, and when they get
wide enough awake we shall have suitable
laws which will cause such authorizations
to be sold for what they really are and
not as pure articles of food:
FooD ADULTERATIoN.-I Has all that has
been said by the press and in public, and
all the legislation on the Subject of food
adulteration, ever done particle of goods
Do not oleomargarine and glucose, and
swill milk, and lard cheese, and alum
bread and all similar frauds flourish un
checked? Can these evils be put an end
to? and if they can be, does anybody know
holU they can be? We know of no means
to that end other than the wider diffusion
of knowledge by a better system of edu
cation,
What g. we, the people" want is a law
which shall subject to severe penalties
men who sell az pure, sugar which has
terra alba, glucose and other stuff, spices
which contain worthless or hurtful sub
stances, and so on through the line, and
that should work a cure. The law should
provide for suitable chemist, Tor assign
the work to the professor of chemistry in
our state university, whose duty should
be to anaiyze goods sent for that purpose
to determine their purity. 1t should also
make it n misdemeanor to sell goods so
adulterated except each package contain
ing it be plainly marked not pure " or
words equivalent, and the buyer should
have his address at the hands of the per-
son who sold it 10 him, whether he be the
maker or not. Such laws arc in force in
some foreign countries and work well L;
why not in oursF Shall our people con-
tlnuo to be poisoned or swindled in what
we cat and drink to support life that some
avaricious 5coundrel may put money in
his purse? We think motif tho good
people will look TO it and demand protec-
ton.

ROpy Milk and Cream.

EDITOR HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT.
would be pleased to have some of the
household readers help me solve a great
mystery; to me it is a mystery indeed.
We keep a number of cows, and all OF
them well and hearty, and they have a
nice pasture with plenty of good grass.
yet all of their milk this summer and last
summer, after It stands long enough 10
sour or become thickened, has a ropy
appearance; the cream is ropy like some
soured sap. 1t greatly astonishes me, So
that have no spirit left in me. am very
particular about my milk dishes. that they
are kept clean and nice. The butter seems
to be good and we sell it for the highest
price, but after all it troubles me, and il
any of the dear household readers ever
heard OF such thing or know Of any
remedy, if they will answer me through
the HOUSEHOLD, shall ever be thankful tc
them.

AN ECONOMICAL TABLE CovER.-By
the following method simple, cheap, and
yet very pretty cover for table or stand
may be quickly made. A heavy double
faced Canton flannel is now manufactured,
in various CO !, having the nap on both
sides, and is on sale generally. Either
this or the single-faced can be used, but
the double-faced is preferable on account
of its extra thickness. The shade can be
selected TO match the furniture. When
cut TO a suitable size, it is bordered with
a contrasting shade of the same material
of any desired width. But this is best
made of the single-nap flannel, us the
double would be little clumsy. The Dor
der is cut of double width. and folded SC
as to leave the fold for the outside edge
and stitched on. To cover the seam, sew
on strip of velvet or velvetecn, will
cross or feather stitch of filoncellc, of cen
trasting shade; gold is preferable. This
comes in all colors. and costs but little
and each thread can be split into two o
three threads-Americdn Ag icuHw'iSt.

are other ways of getting the books if this
expense cannot be afforded. One excel
lent way is to get your neighbors interest
ed in starting Il village or town library.
There is no appliance of education we
more needin Vermont than town libraries.
The legislature has authorized the towns
to tax themselves for this purpose. A
small annual tax, amounting 10 no more
than dollar per poll would, if judciously
expended, soon accumulate II valuable
library. But such enterprises move slowly
in our rural communities, and until the
library shall be established there is an
other available expedient. Let dozen
families in neighborhood pay two dollars
year each, which will buy twelve 10

round. You will thus get the reading of
dozen of the best books of the year, and
one or two Of them to keep for this small
sum. Let us suppose that such a club has
been in existence the past year, and let us
see what books you might have had for
your money. The following list gives
