Canned Food.

cerning that the breakfast table is
very dangerous. Since it has be-
come fashionable to adulterate
food, we ere ere heia@ heia@ put to death
With slaw but cumulative and Ia
tai poisOns. There are a score of
new diseases that have suddenly
sprung into prominence, thanks to
the system rapidly becoming uni.
versal of feeding poisons to us.
Another discovery is the danger
often lurking in canned goods.
Canning is an admirable institu-
ton, which enables tue whole
country to enjoy the advantages
of its different sections. 1t gives
us the baked beans, cooked only
as Boston can, alongside the sal.
mon from Oregon and the shrimp
from Louisiana. England lives al
most wholly to-day on canned, or,
rs it styles them, timed goods,
and this mode of preserving food
is a special blessing the world
owes to the poor man, who can
thus buy his gumbo and his plum
pudding, almost ready for eating,
at half of what 1t would otherwise
cost him. But, rs DIR. John G.
johnson, of Brooklyn, New York.
shows, in a recent publication,
there is danger in canned goods
as well as in staple groceries, if
they have not been canned prop
erly, and he cites a number of ca.
ses of corrosive poisoning from
canned tomatoes due to their de-
fecuve preparation.
DIR. Johnson gives some very
timely advice to people using food
prepared in this manner, showing
how they can always avoid any
danger from it. His first warning
is to reject all cans not bearing
the name of the manufacturer or
firm upon them, as well as that of
the town where they were manu-
factured, for it is only the whole
sale manufacturers who arc asha-
med of their goods that refuse to
put their names on them.
Every cap having two holes sol.
dered In it is dangerous and should
be rejected. Reject all cans which
do not show the line of rosin
around the edge of the solder of
the cap, as well as those showing
any rust on the inside of the
head.
Finally press up the bottom of
the can. If decomposition has be.
gun, the tin will rattle; if the
goods are. sound, it will be solid.
BY simply hearkening to these
warnings there will be no danger
Of any poisoning from canned
goods. A great deal of this pois.
oning has lately occurred in New
York, and has aroused considcra.
BILE prejudice against this mode of
preparing food. A bill to regulate
the manufacture was brought be.
fore the last Legislature of New
York and passed the Assembly,
requiring all canned goods to be
stamped with the year they were
packed, SO as to prevent the pub
lie from being deceived into buy.
ing old stuff that had become
worthless through age.
Instead of supporting measure
of this kind, which would have
completely restored public conf.
dence, the manufacturers of can.
ned goods fought the proposition
bitterly, declaring that it would
ruin their trade. The result ia
some prejudice which is doing
much more harm than the stamp.
ing of the cans could possibly
have done.

Plucky Old Men.

Newbern, N. g., July 90
ert Floor and Stiles Sanders
whitehaired farmers and res
lively seventy four and sew
eight, had harsh words q few
ago about their crops. They
been warm friends and were u
bers of the same church. The
together have thirty.nine descef
ants. They parted bitter cnemid
but their advanced ages and re
cognized pacific natures led thcil
friends to believe that their i'll
feeling would end in words mere
ly. This morning Thomas Stanley
a young man of this place, hap
pening to be up at day-break, wal
astonished to see the two old mel
armed to the teeth standing facin,
each other, ready to begin a dead
~ duel. At the risk of his life
and as their weapons were raised
he rushed between them. One o
them waved him of, but he man
aged to seize Sanders's pistol
Some passers by then came to hi
assistance and the two old mel
were disarmed. Had Mr.. Stanle,
been two minutes later the mel
would have been firing, The.

is the first instance in the histor.
of the code where two such mel
have resorted to such means Il
settle their disputes. Fears ar
entertained that tho grandsons 0

Somebody of a mathematical
turn, with nothing better to do,
has made the following computa.
tion, which is curious, if not es-
sentially correct. lie says that a
German mile-about five English
miles contains 2j,S56 feet; a
square German mile, contains
therefore, 66s, 100000 square feet.
The superficial area of the Lake of
Constance, being eight and a half
German square miles, therefore
contains 5,6s2,O0O,OO0 square feet.
There are living on the surface of
the globe at this moment, in round
numbers, about 1,430, 100000 hu-
man beings. Let every man have
four square feet allotted to him and
if the lake were frozen over, the
whole human family might find
standing room upon its surface.
Should the weight prove too great.
the ice break and the whole human
race be submerged, it would only
raise the level of the lake about
six inches.

Did it ever occur to Young
America, asks the Cincinnati En-.
quirer, that it is only under Repub.
lican rule that the American flag
has been disgraced in foreign
countries and on the high seas J
BY reference to history he will
learn that after every European
power had trcmblingly paid tribute
to tho Algerine pirates, James
Madison, a Democratic President,
refused it, and ordered Commo.
dore Decatur to run the Algerine
squadron down-a command
that was obeyed with alacrity.
1t was o Democratic administra.
ton in 1912 that at tho point of
the bayonet made the British Gov.
ernment apologize for her oppres-
sion of American scamen. Under
the administration of the Demo
cratic President, James X. Polk,
the Mexican greasers captured
Capt. Thornton, an American SOL
dier, and they paid for it with the
richest half of their territory,
namely: Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona and California. The
British occupied Oregon, and
would be there to this day but for
q Democratic administration.

AGRICULTURAL.
PREPARING FOR WHEAT,

In preparing the land for sowino
winter wheat, the Importance Of
thorough tillage can hardly be too
strongly urged. One of the mos.
successful farmers in past years. he.
fore the present efficient harrow was
invented, was ridiculed by his slim
shod neighbor for the repeated and
continued narrowing he gave his
land. In the directions to his hired
men he said: Harrow the ground
at least four times as much as Won
think necessary, and then it will ha
narrowed inst half enough His
uniformly heavy, crops proved the
wisdom of his treatment. 1t NAV 10
well to recur to the statements given
by Waldo F. Brown, of Ohio, in tho
Country Gentleman in 1881, show.
ing the value of thorough prepara.
tion of the ground for wheat. He
stated in substance, that Young
farmer who lived near, had sueb
poor crops that be was about to give
up wheat raising, but concluded h.
would put in two acres as a final
trial, but with a thorough prepare.
ton. He accordingly began early
and plowed, and narrowed, and
dragged, and rolled, until bis wheat
patch was like a garden. The result
was he obtained fifty eight bushels
of excellent wheat from his two
acres, although the season was not
a favorable one. Seven acres were
alike prepared the next year, then
twelve, twenty and thirty, and the
result has been that no crop in any
year has averaged less than twenty.
five bushels an acre, the- Thorough
treatment not being at any time
relaxed. Mr.. Brown pursued the
same course with uniform success,
and his rule is to others: Unlock
the fertility of your soil by thorough
pulverization." Another of our cor
respondents, when speaking Of
thor ough preparation by going sew
eral times over the ground. remark
ed: "The farmer will fluid that
thorough cultivation is manure, and
that each Of his teams will earn ten
dollars "a day while thus employed
G. G. Andrews, in his Especial Re-
port on the needs of Wheat Cul
turc," says that in many of the coun.
tries in Europe, one will see fields
which have been prepared for wheat
as clean and finely pulverized as
garden beds, and that this is un
doubleday one cause why a larger
yield is obtained in Europe than in
the United States.
Some interesting practicalinforma
ton could be easily obtained by any
doubling farmer, by leaving a pOr
tion of his wheat field with the CON
mon superficial eloddy preparation,
and preparing the remainder in The
most thorough manner, cutting the
two portions and threshing and
measuring them separately. The
improved harrows made of late
years have greatly facilitated such
treatment Country Gentleman.
