Beer brewing is mainly under the
management of Germans, and in Cit

predominates, presumably because
that race are more given to drinking
ofthat which "cheers but not inebri-

invested in this busine s than in any

A new question has come up

"A new question mas come up Ill
relation to prohibition liquor laws,
winch the indianapolis EUening
Minute explains as follows: "The
important and somewhat novel qnes-
ton is being raised in Iowa whether
the prohibition law is not in conflict
with a clause of the National con
stitution which provides that no
person shall be depri: ed of life, prop
erty or liberty, without due process
of law" The p%rohibitory law de-
mands and requires that brewers and
distlllers shall give up their business
without compensation and thereby
be deprived of property without due
process oflaw, which the federal law,
still authorizes them TO hold and sell
The main points which the Federal
Courts. and eventually the Supreme
Court of the United States, are being
asked to decide is whether a State
after having tolerated if not encour
aged the establishment of breweries
and dis~tilleries in almost every coun-
ty, may pass a law which virtually
confscates their property and de-
prives them Of their right to defend
themselves before a Court and jury.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.


Warts on cows teats are sometimes
difficult Of cure, but have been remov-
ed by applying once day q liniment
composed of equal parts Of sweet oil
and spirits of turpentine. Follow up
the applications for several weeks If
necessary. Should the teats become
sore have cots made for them and let
them be worn constantly except at
milking time. 1t is said that by
touching the tops Of warts with a
very little muriatic acid night and
morning for several days a painless
cure can be effected. This is danger
GUS to handle, however, and should be
kept in a glass bottle provided with a
ground glass stopper. 1t can be ap-
piled with the tip of a small feather.
Great care should be used not to let
the acids touch any other parts than
the warts, and the bottle containing it
should be kept out of the reach of
children. The oil and turpentine is
much the safer remedy.

to one in the woods Of New Jersey OF
Maine in those days. Bison, the
largest Of our wild animals, preferred
the open plains of the West, without
salt but more grass. Fishes in fresh
water seem to flourish quite as well
as those that enjoy the salt of the
ocean. Has it ever been proved by
experiment that horses and COWS really
suffer or fall of in flesh when de-
priYed of salt, when fed ordinarily
mixed rations. What proof is there
that crude salt is necessary or even
good for domestic animals under or
binary treatment Mr.. Blodgett, OF
Chautauqua County, N. Y. tried
raising punches of calves with and
without salt, and his neighbors de-
cided, without knowing which were
the salt-fed, that the lot not receiving
the salt was the better of the two
This was probably only a coincidence,
but at the same time 1t goes pretty far
to prove that it is at least a useless
trouble and expense to feed crude salt |
to calves. The man who trusts his
animals to the care of ordinary hired
help often finds that the salt business
has been grossly neglected, and yet no
apparent harm has been done. At
least that has often been our expert
ence. We believe in mixing salt with
the mixed ration, to make it more
palatable, but that has nothing to do
with feeding crude salt to COWS; and,
after all, is it not simply stimulant
to make them drink more water, which
does not add to the richness of the

ParasltIc pl.en.e in 1nmbs

Lambs are subject to a parasitic
disease which is always fatal to them
If neglected. 1t is known among
shepherds by the suggestive names of
"pining" and "paper-skin." and by
veterinarians as "anemia," or want of
blood. 1t is caused by a thread worm,
which exists in the lungs and air
passages, and interferes so much with
the breathing as to prevent the due
eration of the blood, and the neces-
sary supply of this vital fluid. The
consequence is that the red globules of
the blood are lacking; the blood is
pale, and the growth of the animal is
arrested. The skin appears white and
thin, like paper, and the young crea-
lures are weak and pine away gradu-
ally for want of adequate nutrition,
and finally die. A similar parasite
produces the diseasein calves, known
as "husk," or choose" It affects
lambs that Craze inspastures with old
sheep; calves are troubled which are
fed with the cow, or upon hay from
fields where older animals are pastured;
and young chicks which run upon
ground fouled by the hens, are apt to
get the gapes. To prevent it, this
chief cause is to be avoided, while to
cure it, the usuaIan effective remedy
Is to give small, repeated doses of |
The following mixture is
To one ounce of mo-
lasses, or linseed oil, add one-fourth of |
an ounce of spirits of turpentine;
shake well together, and give one
teaspoonful to each lamb early in the
For calf, one tablespoon
full should be given an hour before
feeding in the morning; and one drop
may be given to a small chicken. The

Decentralization Manure.

The drOppings from the.hen roots
are a very stimulating fertilizer when
rotted sufficiently togo into fine pow
der. This can in small amounts be
applied in contact with seed, and if
ine enough may be drilled with 1t. A
very good, practice is ito mix hen ma
nure with the commercial fertilizers,
especially bone dissolved in sulphuric
acid. There is usually some free acid
In the phosphate, which readily COM
bines with the nitrogen in the hen
manure. If ashes are used in this
mixture it should be- only when the
seed is about to be covered. We have
put dry wood ashes in the drill with
hen manure and phosphate, and believe
1t a good practice. The ashes clean
the drill from sticky phosphate, and
though there is some smell Of ammon-
la, indicating its loss, yet there is the
satisfaction of knowing that the ashes
are in contact with manure under the
soil, where no loss of ammonia can
occur. The very reasons why ashes
and manures should never be com
posted together above ground furnisb,l
arguments to placing them in contact
with each other under the surface

Household Hints.

To remove tarnish from silver, use
a solution Of borax or Soda
To brighten a zinc bath-tub, throw
in handful of salt, wet with vinegar,
and scour with flannel cloth.
The grease that runs from a goose
when roasting should always be kept,
as it is particularly good to dress spin
ach with.
To set colors in blue cambria, dip it
into solution of saltpetre, using two
or three cents worth to a pailful of
water. Salt will injure the fabric.
Never place fresh eggs Fnear lard,
fruit, cheese, fish, or other articles from
which any OdOr arises. The eggs are
extremely active in absorbing power,
and in very short time they are con-
taminated by the particles of objects
in their neighborhood, by which the
peculiar and exquisite taste of a new
laid egg is destroyed.

Curious Show Of Bovine Intelligence.

Frank Wilkeson writes as follows in
the Providence Sunday Star. I owned
sixty-fve acres of bottom land where the
coarse, blue joint grass grew in cane
brake like rankness. My Texas cows
chose this dense cover in which to bring
forth their young. One spring 1 knew
that there were over twenty calves con-
tinually hidden in the grass on this bot
tom. Every morning COW after COW
would slip out of the herd and disappear
in the tall grass. After an absence of an
hour or two, they would return to the
herd. In the late afternoon they would
again disappear, to rejoin the herd Just
about corralling time. When the calves
were three or four days old, their moth
ers would bring them out into the herd,
and their places in the grass would bd
occupied by younger calves. Once de-
sired to see the young calves, and rode
into the grass to hunt for them. After
an asslduous search l found one calf
lying prone on the earth. with its head
and neck extended and pressed into the
thick mat of old grass that lay on The
ground. The little creature lay perfectly
quiet watching my horse. It did not
so much as wink its dark ewes
when 1 dismounted and extended
my hand toward it. / leaned over it. 1t
watched me intently, but did not stir. I
dropped my hand on its head. Instantly |
it was on its feet and calling loudly for
protection, calling that the wolf, its
mother had told of. had come. 1 heard |
twenty mother cows below in answer to |
the Calls call that they were coming.
The dry grass snapped and cracked in ali |
directions as the maddened COWS rushed
wildly to their young. mounted my
horse and quickly rode away from that
spot. Each COW ran in direct line to
the place where its calf was hidden. The
entire herd rushed into the cover to do
battle for the calf. What an uproar
there wasl Cows, steers, bulls, all call
ing loudly to one another in angry, ex-
cited tones. had fool sh setter dog
with me, and he had to mix himself into
the trouble. The first COW that saw him
beloved to the others that she saw the
wolf. They all pursued him, and he,
1oglike, fed to me for protection, and
ny own COWS gave me brisk chase as 1
galloped over the prairie. The herd

The best feed for weaned young
pigs is potatoes boiled and mashed in
the water in which they are boiled,
thickened with barley meal. This is
given in reasonable quantities, and not
to overfeed the pigs. A young pig of
20 or 80 pounds needs no more Of this
food than pound a day, with a pint
of SKINNED milk. It is altogether
wrong to give the pigs so much food
that they cannot hold any more. This
repletion leads to Indigestion and pro-
duces staggers and paralysis of the
hind quarters; black teeth and other
supposed ailments follow from the dis
ordered stomach. Il is easy to in
crease the food If found necessary, but
not to remove the injury done by Civ
ing too much. AS the pig grows very
fast the food needs to be Increased in
The80O-pound 9-months-
old pigs are never ovened, but are
fed just enough and no,moTe. For
pig 10 pounds of dry food
is ample for one days feeding.-Nea0

I
POached Eggs. Break your egg into
a teacup previously well buttered,
stand it into frying pan Of boiling
water up to the middle Of the cup: as
soon as the white haFdens it is done;
put a knife gently around the edge and
slip the egg on to plate; It is rather
more trouble to dress them this way,
but repays you WELL as they come out

ragged as when broken into the pan
of water, the usual mode Of cooking
them.
Fried POtatoeS.-Pare and slice very
thin, raw potatoes; put in very cold
water and rinse in several different
waters. then let them remain in ice
water an hour or more Dry them in
a towel; have kettle of hot lard, put
in few at time and fry a light
brown, stirring occasionally; then
drain and sprinkle with salt. The lard
must be very hot at first, but do not
let them get too brown before they
become crisp. A fine wire basket,
which you can plunge into the kettle
and remove quickly, is convenient for
cooking them.
S'0set Ptckzes.-Eight pounds Of
fruit, four pounds of best brown su.
gar, one quart of vinegar and one cup
of mixed whole spices, stick cinnamon,
cassia buds, allspice and cloves-less
of the latter than Of the former. Tie
the spices in bag and boil with the
vinegar and sugar. Skim we'll; then
add the fruit Cook ten minutes, OF
till scalded and tender. Skim out the
fruit and put into stone Jars. Boil the
syrup FIVE minutes longer and pour
over the fruit. The next day pour of
the syrup and boil down again, and do
this for three mornings. Keep the bag
of spices in the syrup.
Sage and Onion Sauce.-Chop fine
as many green sage leaves as win fill
dessertspOon after they are chopped,
and chop as much onion very fine as
will ill a tablespoonful after It is
chopped, and let them simmer gently
ina small saucepan, with four table
'poonfuls of water, ten minutes, then
add half a teaspoOnful of pepper; hall
teaspoonful Of salt, and one
ounce of grated bread crumbs; when
hese are well mixed, pour to them q
