The Certainty in Farming.

Could farmers sons fully realize the
financial disasters which are constantly
overtaking commercial men there would
he less signing for chance from tho
farm to the counting room. It is true
there comes to the farmer no grand and
sudden fortunes. At the same time il
he wisely and prudently manages his
business no sudden disasters run their
prospects. Merchants and manufacture
ers may make money for time faster
than the farmer. But they are subject
to the fluctuations of trade-pr0sperous
and hard times, foods and depressions.
We arc frequently told of the uncer-
tainty of trade in the largest cities Of
the world where the largest fortunes
and the most prosperous business, by
the reverse of trade, are suddenly swept
into oblivion. We see these tales every
day in our daily papers. But they are
apparently ct q distance, and do not
attract any special attention, and make
little or no impression on our minds.
But how is it at home? The agricul.
tursl editor moved to the city Of Des
Moines not quite six years ago Des-
Moines is growing, prosperous city.
In the past six years there has been no
depression or stagnation in it's business.
Its banks arc sound and money plenty.
Its mechanics have plenty of work at
good wages. And yet of the drygoods
houses doing business in the city Of six
years ago all, except ono or two have
had to succumb and make assignments.
The grocery trade has been little bet
ter, yet it has had its examples of the
vicissitudes of trade. And nearly all
branches of business in that time have
had taste of reverse. And yet OF all
the thousands of careful farmers of
Polk county, though it has been for the
tho past three years the worst season
for crops, it is q very rare thing for one
of them to assign or be sold out.
The hard toiling farmer knows but
little of the troubles, anxieties and vi
cissitudes of commercial life. And
the uncertainty of the future with the
latter class is probably the reason why
there is SO much extravaganza and vain
show in the families of commercial men.
They have large fashionable families,
drea4 richly, and parade in THOR fne
carriages on the very brink Of ruin.
With them il ID now Of never, and they.
flourish while they can, and toomany

Suggestions for Keeping Preserves.
Put them away in small jars or glasses.
II the latter are used, store them in q
dark place. Cut out piece of stout
paper the size of each jar. Slip these
over the fruit as soon as it has grown
cold: Having reserved . little syrup
for the purpose, pour q layer Of il on
top OF the paper, and the fruit will not
rise to the top, mould and spoil.
Unless you have hired help whom you
can trust implicitly it is good idea to
use earthern dishes for milk In place of
tin; they are kept clean with much less
trouble. The scientists of the present
day and hour claim that the germs of
disease hide in the crevices Of milk
pan. and that nothing but conscientious
application or absolutely boiling water
will remove the danger.
All squares of silk for ornimenting
pincushions and toilet bottles are now
placed on diamond-wise. One pretty
example in dark blue satin has top
triangle yelled by laco, on which rests
bow of old gold and blue satin loops.
On the opposite halt is painted bou-
quet of primroscs. Round the edge is
sewed box plating of soft lace, which
also surrounds the satin doilies, where
the perfume bottles rest inclosed in a
blue satin cover painted with primroscs,
and secured round the neck by an old
gold ribbon. Loops of ribbon also
adorn the lower angle of the dolly.
A LITTLE POWDERED CHARCOAL will
cleanse and sweeten bottles if it is we'll
shaken about in them.
FRENCH CusrARDs.-To make about
seven custards, boil one pint of milk
with four desert spoonfuls of sugar.
Beat the yelks and whites of two eggs
we'll together, and pour the milk, when
slightly cool, on to the eggs, and beat
we'll together. Fill seven china sustard
cups; stand them in shallow tin oi

Ehrsaa Fringe for riay.

Procure two large spools of the cheap
French thread, such as is used for
basting, and use for the fringe, instead
of tile coarse machine cotton of which
the tidy is made. This cheap thread,
being twisted but lightly, makes more
fluffy" and much softer fringe than the
more expensive brands. Procure q
strip of box cardboard three inches wide,
or q smooth stick six inches around, and
wind its entire length with lunches Of
thread, each bunch containing from
fifteen to twenty threads, making when
doubled, thirty or forty ends in each
tassel of the fringe. With o sharp
pointed knife cut these, letting them
fall off the stick SO carefully as not to
become tangled. Pick up each bunch
separately, and place the ends together,
thereby forming a loop in the middle;
with an ivory crotchet.needle, draw
this loop through mesh in the edge
Of tidy; then draw the ends through
the loop and pull down tight. Proceed
in this way until the tidy is entirely
fringed: then shake out carefully, and
trim off all uneven threads. Country
Gentleman.

five quarts of boiling water. Let it
stand, and when lukewarm add a
tablespoonful Of brewers yeast which
must be quite fresh. Stir this quickly
together short time, and then leave it
until next day to ferment. Skim off
the yeast, and, having carefully poured
the liquid from the sediment, It NAV
then be bottled for use. Take care
that the corks are good; just before
using put them into boiling water, and,
having placed them in the bottles, let
them be firmly secured with wire.
This quantity will make rather more
than dozen bottles, and will he ready
in two days. Another way: Two
ounces Of whole ginger bruised; two
pounds of loaf sugar, the thinly pared
rind and strained juice of four lemons;
over this pour two gallons Of boiling
water. When it has remained until
lukewarm spread q toast with yeast and
put in it. Let it stand all night then
bottle it off. This quantity will make
about four dozen bottles.

ganizations of various kinds exist IN
most lines of commerce, manufacturing,
labor, and even in some of the higher
arts and professions. Agriculture alone
is without the protection afforded by
consolidation of individual interests,
and an organized resistance to unjust
encroachments; yet no other industry
is more in need of such organized re-.
sistance to ROBBERY than is farming. In
scarcely one of the operations connect
cd with husbandry is tho farmer able
to dictate terms to those who buy of or
sell to him. Yet no class has greater
natural power over the very cxistance
Of mankind than have they who furnish
the daily bread of tho world. By COM
bining, as railroads, spectators, and
others do, formers could compel
all the world to comply with
their demands, for men must eat
though the Kingdoms fall and empires
disappear. Ships may be built and
manned, factories may bo filled with
machinery and operatives, railroads may
stretch across tho land, elevators may
be erected, and spectators, merchants,
and manufacturers may stand ready for
business-and, if the farmer fail to give
them work, there they will stand idle.
All are dependent upon the farmer, and
he alone of all classes can live lndepend.

the sheer force of combination, the do
pendent classes have 80 reversed the
natural order that the tillcr of the land
is the slave, toiling for the pittance al-
lowed him from lis own earnings by
those who, in the natural order, should
be servants and not masters. This as
been the condition of things SO long and
SO generally that it seems now to be the
natural condition of affairs. Chicago

Farming R.rsxrsphs.

No fewer than 100 societies exist in
Scotland, whose object is to promote
and maintain the purity Of the Clydes-
dale horse.
Cows are better off in q cool stable
than in the pasture during the mid. day
heat.
Now that the harvest is nearly all done
by machinery, it is pretty hard on the
horses; see to it that they have the best
of care and generous feeding.
In Arkansas some strawberry grow
ers, anticipating large yield and low
prices, sold their entire crops on the
vines to dealers at five cents quart, and
are realizing from 500 to $3.50 per acre
for their fruit.
A good wash for sore eyes in animals,

If o hen persists in untimely sitting,
don't try to brerk it up by the cruel yet
Intellectual method of half drowning the
poor bird, but instead take headless
cask, lnvert it over her, allowing 1t to
rest on three bricks, and bore hole in
the top for ventilation. Water and
scanty food should bc provided Just out
side the rim. A week Of this treatment
will usually convert biddy into more
sensible hen.
Foot-rot in COWS is one of the most
common diseases, and is in many respects
precisely the same as the foot-rot in
sheep. And yet it is more easily pre-
vented. It is caused by the constant
saturation of the feet with wet sloppy
mud or manure. This soon infames
the skin between the claws and around
the heels of the hoof, and softens tho
horn and causes it to rot. By neglect
the inflammation spreads to the centre
of the foot and the horn is loosenexl
from the tissues, and drops off. The
wretched beast then crawls around up
on the stumps of the bones, and it's suf-
ferings are equal to those of man COM
PEELED to walk upon the ends of the legs,
If the feet are cut off. The only excuse
is that the owner is helpless because he

Our American Girls.

Youths Companion.-American girls
are apt to hear, with good deal of ir-
ritation, and criticism on their habits
and manners from foreigners, but they
will probably listen with patience to
the Impressions of one of their own
countrymen on this subject, on his re-
turn home after q prolonged absence Of
years in Europe. He is q man we'll
known in the scientific world.
"When I come back, I" he said lately,
II felt like stranger. People and
things had recedcd into an unfamiliar
distance. l believe that judged of
them wholly without predjuice, as 1
would have done Of things and people
in Norway or Turkey.
"My first Thought when I saw the
young girls of Boston and New York
was, that nowhere in any country had
found so much distinction in the faces
of women. Nor is this delicacy and re-
finement confined to the gentler classes.
"The daughters of many an American
mechanic have aristocratic features,
which would better become the prin-
cess of the Houses of Hapsburg and
Guelph than do their own. Their
claims of long descent have often re-
suited in Europe in heavy, sodden, SEN
sual traits results Of high living
and inactivity; while tho daughter Of
our workingman frequently has the fine,
sensitive features which are sup
posed to indicate generations of gentle
blood and thorough breeding.
"The American girl is more keen
witted and better informed than her
English sister; her sympathies are finer.
She has taste in dress and tact of
manner wholly wanting to the other.
Her gown or her words are never Of
fensive. She is brilliant, virtues, friend
ly,-but not womanly. Men like to
protect q woman, and the chief aim of
American girls seems to be to show
that they need no protection. Hence,
the dullest, homeliest European wom-
an has charm which the American
women lack" {,
The President of Quaker college
where co-education is the rule, was
wont to point his mixed classes of boys
and girls to a couple of trees growing
in the midst of the campus. "That elm
is tall as the oak, {" he would say. "It is
as green, as deep-rooted and as useful.
but it is not an oak, and it does not try
to be-"
The old Quaker had the keyword
of the secret. There has been, since
the war such a struggle among many of
our women to force their way into the
careers, the education and the civil rights
hitherto monopolized by men, and show
that they are intellectually their equals,
that they forget that they really are
not men, but have graces and rights
exclusively their OWE.
A young girl enters a ball room, a
street car or church with the air 81
can take care of myself" Hence she is
left to take care of herself, which usually
is, secretly, the last thing she desires.

Farmers should sashs oftsn.

Farmers, as much as any class of men
in the world, and more so than most,
need frequent baths. Their work causes
them to perspire greatly and they are
constantly in contact with dirt. Reli-
able medical authority asserts that the
statistics which now place the life of
tho farmer below the average might he
raised considerably if this class paid
moro attention to cleanliness. One
farmer, John M. Stahl, sppreciating the
importance Of bathing, thus writes to
tho New England Farmer:
"The body should be cleansed every
twenty-four hours, and it is best to do
this when the days work is done, for
then the body'6 liability to receive dirt
from external source is small, and the
functions of the glands can be properly
performed during the night, insuring
healthful slumber.
But how many of us do cleanse the
body each night? I am afraid the
truth would be that full as many cleanse
the body only once a week, as those that
cleanse it once day. Not one farm
house in fifty, take the country over,
has a bath room; and I doubt il even
one farmers family in twelve has even
Q sbath-tub. This is sad commentary on
our way of living, and explains the pre-
valcnce of fevers in the country where
they should be almost unknown.
i know only too we'll how tired the
ploughman is at the close of the day,
and the fatigue is yet greater if the day
has been spent in the harvest field. 1t
seems great task to drag the wearied
body even twenty feet to bed. The
thought of going to the trouble and ex
pense Of. time Of bathing may appear
almost absurd. But my word for It you
will be largely the gamer by so doing.
To battle will not require more than
ten minutes. and you will have added
two hours to your slumbers. You have
shortened the time for sleep by ten min
utes, but you have made slumber 80
much sounder and swecter that you
have gained dozen times tho time ex-
pended. By bathing each night for a
week, you will no more think of retiring
without first cleansing the body Of
sweat and dirt than you would of going
to bed with your boots on. And re-
member that while you have gained 20
much in rest and comfort, you will ul-
tims&ely gain more in health"
