A friend had pointed q revolver at him.
He didn't know it was loadedT
We often hear it stated that man ls not
responsible for what he does not know. The
law presupposes knowledge and therefore
convicts the man who excuses crime by
ignorance!
"If had only known" has often been an
unfortunate mans apology for some eVl!
unknowingly wrought, but in a matter OF
anum is poison. that naphtha is a deadly
explosive, that blood heavily charged with
winters accumulations Of the waste OF the
system, it is ones duty to know the fact and
the consequences thereof. Our good old
grandmothers knew for instance, that the
opening of spring was the most perilous Pc
riod of the year.
Why?
Because then the blood stream is sluggish
and chilled by the cold weather, and If not
thinned good deal and made to flow quickly
and healthfully through the arteries and
veins, it is impossible to have good vigor the
rest Of the year. Hence, without exception,
what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla was plentifully made and re-
lily regularly through March, April, May
and June. Its matter Of record that this
prudential, preventive and restorative Gus.
tom saved many fit Of sickness, prolonged
life and happiness to vigorous old age, and
did away with heavy medical expendi-
lures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexington, Ky,
used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla "for
nervous sick headache OF which had been q
sufferer for years. Ithas been great benefit
to me-" Capt Hugh Harkins, lila s. 18th

blood and removed the blotches from my
skin" Mrs. Aarea Smith, Topton. Berks
Co., Pa, says she was entirely cured of
skin disease Of the worst kind, ,"by Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla. Bad skin indicates very bad
condition of the blood.
If you would live and be well, 60 to your
druggist to-day and get Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla and take no other,-there's
nothing like it or as good,-and completely
renovate your impaired system with this
simple, old-fashioned preparation of roots

Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure,
puts it up, and that is a guarantee Of ex-
cellence all over the known world. Take it
yourself and give it to the other members Of
the family, including rhe children. You will
be astonished at its health-giving and life
prolonging powers. We say this editorially
with perfect confidence, because we have
heard good things Of it everywhere, and its
name is guarantee that it is first-class in
every particular.

Water in Milk.

Does it pay to run water through the
cow and pay for it in the form of milk?
Plainly the solids are what give value to
the milk. The water is not improved by
being passed through the system of the
cow. We can get abundance of it with
out this expensive process. The nutri-
tive elements in milk are the casein, the
fat, the sugar and the ash. The more Of
these there are-the greater the per cent.
of solids-the more valuable the milk
for human food; and all these constitu-
ents are available when consumed in
its natural state, as it comes from the
cow. There is great waste in making
it into butter or cheese-but less in the
latter than the former. The only good
excuse for making milk into these
products is the impossibility of keeping
1t in its natural state, and the relish we
have acquired for these extracts from
milk-for they really are extracts. But
the solids being the nutrition nearly all
water is discarded. The aim, therefore,
should be to produce milk containing as
large a per cent. of solids as possible.
These vary from 10 per cent. in some
milk, to 20 per cent. in others; but the
usual range is II to u per cent, 3 to
per cent. of which should be fat

Green Peas for the Table.

Farmers, of all others, should have a
succession of the choicest vegetables. If
they fail in this, as so many do, they do
not improve their privileges as they
ought and might just about as well live
in the crowded city as on the farm. The
green pea season on most farms is shor-
tened too much, and on some it never
Genes at all. To have peas four or five
weeks requires three varieties. Two
early and one late should be sown, and
with two or more paintings of these. For
the very earliest smooth, early variety
may be planted, as these are more hardy
than the sweetcr wrinkled sorts. Then
q week or ten days later plant the early
wrinkled sorts like Little Gem, and at
the same time Champion of England.
This last is tall, late variety, and the
three paintings will keep succession
for fully three weeks. A second plant
ing of both the early and late varieties
may be made ten days later, and these
will generally escape mildew. If planted
after the soil becomes heated the mildew
attacks the vine and ruins it before the
peas are large enough to use.-MW York

An Extensive Tropical Dinner.

"a tropical dinner" which cost $175
per cover, exclusive of wine and music.
was recently given by one of New York's
millionaires, who wanted to make q
splurge. Twenty courses were served.
There was no cloth on the table: palm
leaf fan was laid before each guest, and
on these the, plates rested. The in.
dividual decorations at each pfate cost
$50, the favors cost rs much more, and
the menu cards cost $40 each. A bou-
quet of ten strawberries, costing s., was
placed before each guest The tru41es
were imported from France. There was
\ miniature lake, with gorgeous tropical
trimmings, on the table. Roman punch
was served in oranges hanging on an

Grating Wax.

About this season of the year not q
few of your agricultural readers will be
looking over their papers for a good
recipe for grating wax. Here is one
which they can paste in their scrap
book: Resin, four parts; beeswax, two
parts; tallow, one part. In preparing
the mixture have the ingredients clean
and pure, heat them together over slow
fire and stir thoroughly. After half
hour pour it out into cold water pre-
paratory to working it as you would

weather keep the wax in warm water

MIKE Lime Water at Home.

There IS no need whatever Of running
to the druggist and buying lime water
every time It is needed. And, by the
way, it is very useful to have in the
house in case of sour stomach, etc. a
teaspoonful of it with half pint of milk
will often make the milk quite di1 1estible,
when without the lime water, it might
sour and produce collie, or distress in the
stomach. To make lime water, get q
lump of good unslaked lime, the size OF
hens egg, or larger; put it in an old
pitcher and pour on pint or SO OF
water. As soon as it is slaked and cool
enough, stir it with spoon or stick and
pour off the principal part of the milky
fluid into a pint or quart bottle, leaving
the dregs in the pitcher to be thrown
away. Cork the bottle well and let it
stand quiet. In q few hours the lime
will settle to the bottom, except what is
dissolved in the clear water above it, and
this water will nearly always be OF uniform
strength. When used down so that it
cannot be poured off without stirring
the bottom, add more water, shake the
bottle, cork it well, and let it again set
tie for use. Cnce a year or so, make
up new lot as at first. Lime the size
of an egg will be enough for a good
many quarts of lime water, which will
practically cost nothing. At the ordinary
temperature of GO degrees, a pint OF clear
lime water contains only 81 grains of
lime. "a pound is 1000 grains:) Lime
water is a little antac.d, and little
tonic also.-PrGirie Farmer.

"LumnY Land"

A New York farmer says: There is no
land arabic that will break up in Jumps
when first brought under cultivation,
but all heavy soil will become hard and
tenacious if plowed or trodden when
wet, or if exhausted of humus or vegeta-
bic matter. But when lands are left in
clods after the plow it is often tedious
labor to bring the surface into good tilth
in dry season. have used several i'm
plements for such work, but none were
effective without much labor. A heavy
iron roller, small in diameter, or small
log roller of hard wood loaded heavily,
and followed with sharp Scotch har-
row, is about as effective as anything I
have tried; large drum roller has but
little effect, as it brings too much surface
to the ground. A fluted or spiked iron
roller is doubtless best, but l have not
used it. Rolling and narrowing must
be repeated till the Jumps are reduced.
A log drag, constructed by splitting an
oak log about six feet long, aad boiling
a tongue on the fat side and dragging it
on the round side, is effective;- also a
plank drag made of three heavy planks
Tapped, one some six inches upon the
other, and bolted together, with tongue
80 attached as to bring the three corners
of the planks to the ground, will do ef-
fective work after the large clods a:e
broken.
The disc harrow, if the Jumps are not
too hard, will do good work; but by
whatever means it may be done, much
labor is required to bring such land into
a condition for the seed. have some
times found it necessary to break Jumps
with a beetle, or an old dull axe, which
is as good, when only some spots in a
field were lumpy. In a field was fitting
for wheat, few years ago, was corner
of about one acre, of heavy clay soil, and
having been ploughed in spring rather
wet, it broke up when dry so coarse that
harrow or roller would make little i'm
preston upon it. I set one man to work
breaking Jumps with an old axe and
others rolling and narrowing after; in
about two or three hours the plot was
made fine and sown to wheat, which pro-
duced as good a crop as any part of the
field, yielding throughout about thirty
five bushels per acre. l have known
good crops of wheat to grow on ground
left very lumpy, the Jumps being dissolved
by the frosts of winter, giving a fine
mellow soil for the summers growth
but a thorough farmer prefers to get a
fine seeded before sowing the seed,
which is always for spring crops neces-
sity, and for winter wheat better.-Ne4c

An Unparalleled Rus1ness.

It is said that the Moxie Ferve Food com pany have sold nearly 5000, ,00O bottles of their food in about three years. The popu- Iarity 1t has attained has never been paral- leled. Commercials sprang up to steal the market, but the U. s. courts shut them up. To prove it was not fraud scores of nervous wrecks and old cases of helpless paralysis re- covered by it were brought before the court. This unusual, thought to be impossible thing, caused a remarkable sensation. It is very popular as beverage among the overworked, weak, tired and nervous. The chemists say 1t is harmless as gruel. The company have put 75o. bottle of the syrup on the market that with ice water makes seventy-f five good drinks of rich, beverage, nerve food, that will give the weak and tired double powers of endurance at hard work, without stimuIa- tion or reaction, at 8 cost of three cents per day, and it does not lose It's effect from long use more than other foods. It will cure the liotior aud tobacco habit and break recent intoxication in an hour. It also removes the effect of 6 debauch in few hours. It is rapidly taking the place of stimulants and nervines. It's cure of drunkenness is enough to commend 1t. The druggiste say it's sale is marvellous. The women swarm after it be. cause, unlike stimulant, it gives remark able yers of endurance and continues it.
