DRIED RASPBERRIEs.

Raspberries are very nice for winter
use, but L find 1t more convenient to keep
them dried than canned. prepare them
by sprinkling sugar over them on plates,
and then dry in the stove or oven, after
the fire is pretty well down, so as not to
scorch them. They are quickly dried,
and when done can be packed away in
jars, or even in thick paper bags. They
are excellent for sauce in winter, and
make good pies and buildings. The only
precautions requisite are not to store
them IN damp place, and to cover close
~ so as to keep out insects.

vessels with fruit without any cooking.
Be sure and fill all the spaces with the

of this part of his education subjects the
person or persons using him to frequent
annoyance and often serious injury.
Vicious habits are easily induced in hors-
es by tickling and plagueing them while
IN the stable, and under no circumstances
should ever be tolerated. Never beat or
use harsh language to horse in the
stable, unless you prefer vicious to
clever one. A horse is susceptible of tax
ing in vast amount of knowledge, and
his education should be of the nature that
will render him the most safe and useful.

Pure Water for Cows.
Prairie Farmer.

Prof. Law, of Cornell University, re-
Gently examined the milk from COWS which
had access to water from stagnant pools,
and found in every case the milk full of
living organisms. He also found the
animals themselves to be in feverish
condition owing to their blood being
charged with the living animalculee. The
Prairie Farmer has always kept before
its readers the Importance of providing
pVre water for stock, but especially for
the COWS; and the testimony from so
distinguished an authority, as above
quoted, adds emphasis to the opinions we
have already expressed.

A PERFECTLY MODERN GIRL.
LOUISVILLE ceURIER-JoURNAL.

There was once perfectly modern girl,
With perfectly modern ways,
Who saw perfection in everything
That happened to meet her gaze.
Such perfectly lovely things she said,
And perfectly awful, too.
That none would have dared to doubt her wort
SO perfectly, perfectly true,
The weather, she said, in summer time
Was perfectly awful warm;
The winter was perfect, too, when there came
Some perfectly terrible storm.
She went to perfectly horrible school.
In a perfectly horrible town:
And the perfectly hateful teacher there
Did things up perfectly brown.
The lessons were perfectly fearfulIy long,
But never perfectly said;
And when she failed, ss often she did,
Her face grew perfectly red
The church she attended was perfectly mag
With perfectly heavenly spire
And perfect crowds go there to hear
perfectly charming choir.
The latest style is perfectly sweet,
The last the perfectest out;
The books she read are perfectly good
DUST here we raise a doubt)
A ride she took was perfectly grand,
On perfectly gorgeous day;
With perfectly nobby friend or hers
Who happened to pass that way.
The perfectly elegant falls sh'd seen
When on the way to the lake,
And the graphic description she gave US all
Was simply modern mistake.
A perfectly splendid foam dashed up
In perfectly killing style,
And the perfectly terrible waves came down
In perfectly lovely pile.

And write to the end of time;
But fearing to wear your patience out,
Will bring to end my rhyme.

According to the New York Star the fol-
lowing is the method of feeding the
horses of the Adams Express Company,
in New York: 'In the morning, the first
thing, we give our horses each about
seven pounds of oats, with quart of
shelled corn and a double handful of
good hay. At noon we give them good
peck of chop, made of ground or crushed
corn, white middlings, and bran. Every
other night we give them ten pounds of
hay, and every night eight or ten pounds
of clean rye straw for bedding. We don't
give them hay every night, because we
know they know they wont eat their chop
up clean. By giving it every other night
we ind they always eat up their feed.
We water them three times day-be-
fore they go out, when they come in,
and after we clean up for the night. Of
Of course the drivers, when the horses
give them water when they need it. In
warm weather instead of cracked corn
and m1ddlings, we give corn meal and
wheat bran. Our horses have to do hard
work, but we keep them in good condi-
ton. That is a general statement of the
way we feed horses. OF course, in par
ticular cases, we have to use judgement.
When a horse is dull and blows over its
feed the best thing is to take it away.
The chances are that the next time it will
eat up clean. Don't allow a horse to
stand blowing over its feed. My men
are particular also to clean the manger
out we'll before feeding and not allow
any stale or sour feed to be left in the
manger. There is nothing like regular
ityin feeding. When horses have enough
at one time, and then perhaps too much
at another, you cannot expect to keep
them well. [ said we gave the horses
hay every other night. That is a matter
of judgement. If you find horses on
their feed and eating it up clean, you can
give them. hay every night.

SuOar
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1886-08-05

One cup of vinegar, one quart water, one
tablespoon ginger, and three tablespoons
sugar.
RASPBERRY NECTAR.
Pour one quart of vinegar over two
quarts ripe raspberries. Let it stand till
the fruit ferments. Strain, and to every
pint of juice add three-fourths pound
loaf sugar. Simmer twenty minutes.
CORN BEER.
This is a very palatable drink for the
haryest-feld. One quart sound, nice corn,
two quarts molasses. five gallons cold
water; put all together into key, shake
well, and in two or three days a fermem-
tation will have taken place, the same as
if yeast were used. Keep the buug in
tight. If the flavor of spruce or lemon
is liked pour out quart or two of the
liquid and heat it to boiling and add the
flavor to it, about teaspoon of the
oil,-and when incorporated pour it back
into the key. The same corn will last for
several markings of the drink. If too
sour at any time add more molasses. 1t
is cheap and healthful and very delight
full drink.
RASPBERRY SHRUB.
Place red raspberries in crock and
cover them with good vinegar. The next
day strain, and to each cup of juice add
an equal measure of white sugar-loaf su-
gar is best; boil together ten minutes and
seal up hot.
LEMONADE.

Kitchen and Garden Sass.

August is a month in which there is
less to do in the garden than in any 9th or
save those of winter. Still, there is
enough to do. Weeds are always to be
destroyed, and in summer they grow rap
idly. Use long-toothed rake among
newly-set cabbage and other plants. It
is very destructive to young weeds. AS
fast as crop is cleared off occupy the
ground with something, else weeds will
take possession. If nothing else need be
sOwn, SOW rye or fodder corn for the
COW. If any vegetables are sent to mar
ket, wash, trim and bunch neatly; they
will bring in a much better price than if
sent lOOs and in disorder. Plant bush
beans for a late crop and for pickles. The
ends of Lima bean vines should be pinch
ed off when they reach the top of the
poles. Beets, carrots, parsnips and other
root crops should be hoed or cultivated
until the growth of leaves prevents. AS
soon as the ears have been taken from
sweet corn, cut up the stalks and cure for
the cow to eat in winter. Cucumbers for
pickles should be watched every day, and
and all those of a suitable size gathered.
Cut away all that have grown too large,
unless wanted for seed. Celery plants
may yet be set out in a we'll MANFRED bed,
or on ground MANFRED for an earlier
crop. Mark out rows three feet apart,
and set the plants six inches apart in the
rows. The fruit of egg plants are so
heavy they will rest upon the ground and
decay; wisp of straw, or a single or
other board placed under the fruit will
prevent this. Melons often set more
fruit than will ripen. Cut off the sur
plus, and use for stuffed pickles or for
mangoes. Melons ripen more evenly if
turned every few days. Onions, as soon
as the tops fall over, should be harvested.
Pull and allow them to cure a few days
in the sun, and store them in a cool, dry
place.

Announce of Ben Perley
POOre's Forthcoming
Book.

Sixty wears of busy journalists life at
Washington are epitomized in Major Sen.
Perley Poore's forthcoming book. One OF
the admirers of the Major recently said
that sat judiciously ripe period of life
the Major stopped growing old, and since
then. like some of the choice Madeira OF
which he writes with so much feeling, he
has only been accumulating boqnet and
flavor" Mai. Poore has been one of the
hest known and one of the most knowing
men in Washington society for half
century. His is the sunny temperament
delighting in bright social intercourse. Yet
his connection with daily journalism and
hi, position in the U. s. Senate placed him
always in the thick of political affairs and
social gossip. He was ever in the wash
inpton "Swirn," breasting the waves with
iovial vigor, and never failing to hear or
see what was said and done.
The Major could never be very solemn,
and IN his ripened sketches of Washington
life every phase reminds him of half doz-
en- amusing anecdotes. He has rare gilt
in telling story, and his anecdotes are
inexhaustible.
His book Will not only add luster to his
fame as a writer, but Is of so unique achsr-
&C ter and so intensely interesting in matter
that it will prove valuable contribution
to the literature of the country. 1t has

a eTARTLING FACT.

1t is not commonly known that large
proportion of the rheumatism and neu-
raleia extant is traceab!c directly TO the
diseased condition or imperfect action OF
the kidneys AMI liver; therefore remefy
which cures the resulting disease must
have found and sni;ten the fret cause.
Many persons using Athlophoros Tor
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised to find that chronic disorders OF
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact is, that the
remedy acts directly on these organs
cleansing theia irom all irritating sub
stances and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with Athlophoros Pllls this
is. without exception, the most valuable
kidney and liver remedy in the world, and
will cure large proportion OF those VINO
have these diseases.

The Newton Hamilton watchman says !;
that few evenings ago Joseph Irwin, who
resides with his son at Edward Furnace,
went to the fields for the cows. In his
search for the cows he encountered brood
SOW with litter of pigs. The animal start
led at his approach and trampIed upon one
OF the pig, causing it to squeal with pain,
when the SOW made a dash for Mr.. Irwin
who, being a man of advanced years, was
unable to get out of the way of the infuriat-
ed beast, which attacked him with savage
ferocity, mutilating his person In a shock
ing manner and literally tearing the cloth
ing from his body. He finally succeeded
in gaining fence, which he climbed over
and sank exhausted upon the ground.
When found he was bleeding profusely
! from his wounds and was in a state of semi
Inconsistencies. A physician was summon
ed who dressed his wounds, and We are
glad to state that tn ere is good prospects
of his recovery.
When you are out in the woods don't
prove yourself TO be an idiot, or bad man
by deliberately shooting at an object, that
! you are not certain what it is. There arc
too many half idiots that walk about with
guns and shoot at objects that they see in
the bushes without first determining what
the object is tn at they propose to shoot.
Men are liable TO be overtsken by accident
when cunning, but it is not an accifent
when a man levels his gun at an object and
fires before he certainly knows what he is
shooting at. The man who viii shoot at
objects in corn fields and in the woods
without knowing what they are, is not fit
subject to run at large, he is either too ig
rorsnt or too vicious for free citizenship.
The latest case of vicious or ignorant-not
misunderstanding is reported by the
Lewistown Sentinel, of November 5, as fol-
lows: Last Friday while Mr.. Harmon was
out hunting, he mistook Mr.. Jack Barbin
for turkey and fired a load of shot ct him
point blank; but fortunately only two of the
shot took effect, striking Mr.. b. on the arm
and side. Barbin was In the cornfield at the
time picking up corn, and h ad just raised up
