Are We to Have Another War?

Some political prophets aver that we shall. Be
that as it may. the battle waged by medical
science against disease will never cease until we
arrive at that uptopian epoch wher the human
family shall cease to be afflicted with bodily all
ments. One of the most potent weapons which
the armory of medicine furnishes, is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. which is of special utility as a
family remedy, as it is adapted to the immediate
relief and ultimate cure of those disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels which are of COM
monest occurrence. Ind gestion, billiousness
and constipation are inseparab1e companions,
and these ailments are completely e.adicated by
the Bitters. But the remedial scope of this
superlatively wholesome and genial medicine
takes in also nervous ailments rheumatism and
kidney troubles; its action in these as in the
other complaints, being characterized by un-
euualed thorOughneSS

With a Local Moral.
From the Jamestown Journal.

From the jamestown journal.
The city of New Albany, Ind, is SO
overwhelmed with debt that it is given
out as probable that it will, like bank
rupt bank, go into the hands of re-
ceiver soon. The assigned cause is that
it has been for ten years past running in
excess of revenue, building public works
and building for itself whatever the
city desired to have, issuing its bonds
therefor, for other people to pay. The
boom by which it hoped to draw people
in has driven them off, for people will
not invest largely in places bonded up to
the value of al the property in it.
Jamestown's sure and substantial growth
is largely due to the conservative
course of its people, whose motto has
been pay as you 60 and avoid bonds. 1t
is almost certain that In the near future
1t will be necessary to constructa system
of sewers in jamestown, and that will
create debt, but we hope for careful
consideration and conservative action
in all cases by our citizens.

PRESERVATION of Meat.

The Journal d'Agriculture states that
it is customary in Upper Saone (France),
both on farms and in villages, TO pre-
serve meat in summer by placing it
in large earthen pans or pots filed with
cur0led milk, or even with skinned
milk, which soon curdles, and storing
the vessels in the cellar. In order to
keep the meat beneath the surface OF
the milk, it is loaded with clean stones.
Meat is preserved in this way for over
a week, without the least change in its
flavor. When it is needed for use, it is
fed To swine

Two Good Stories About Twins.

From the Boston Transcript.
The other night the subject of twins
was up, as a matter of conversation.
The resemblance of twins is always
interesting, and some stories were told
which were new to the Listener. One
was about pair of twin sisters excellent
ladies, who lived near each other in a
Massachusetts town. One ofthese twins
was aiIing somewhat, and one day her
sister, bonnetless and shawlless, ran in
to see how she was, and found that the
ailing one wanted her to do an import
ant errand. So she put on the aillng
sisters shawl and bonnet and went to
the store. Arriving there, she saw her
own image in large looking-glass and
exclaimed
"Why, you decided to come yourself,
after all. l don't think you were well
enough?"
BY way of the opposite of the story, a
member of the party told of country
woman who was asked if her twin sister
reese mbled her:
Claws, mol" exclaimed the old lady

Dust Explosions.
From the Jamestown Journal.

The fatal dust explosion at Chicago
recalls the fact that on December 81,
1877, similar disaster due to the same
cause occurred in candy factory IN
Barclay Street, New-York. On May 2,
1873, one of the great Touring mills in
Minneapolis was shattered by ire
mendous explosion, and flames at once
burst out and were communicated to
adjacent structures, inhicting heavy
loss upon the milling industry. Explo-
sions of similar nature in the Tradeston
mills in Glasgow, and the great Allsopp
brewery in London, are recalled. The
dis ,sters have in every case been the
subject of much conjecture as to the
cause. The great force of the explo-
sions and the subsequent all-devouring
confagration which were features of
the accidents, demonstrate that they are
of the most destructive character known.
Unfortunately SO little has been left
after these explosions have occurred
that the true secret of their cause is as
yet d practically total mystery.

The manufacture is said to have been

Sailing RutfPr.

Butter, as a rule, is sailed to the taste,
without weighing, but about an ounce
of pure salt to pound of butter is the
amount required. The churning should
not be continued too long. When the
butter is in the granular state draw off
the buttermilk and wash with cold water
until it runs clear, then carefully stir in
the salt and press out the water without
breaking the grain of the butter.
The brine sailing process consists in
drawing off the buttermilk as soon as the
butter gets into the granular state and
washing out the buttermilk that still re-
mains with very cold water slightly
sailed; then very strong, clear brine is
poured on it, in which it is soaked and
stirred awhile until sufficiently salt to
suit the taste; then the butter is taken
out and gently pressed enough to cause
the surplus water to run off. While tits
important to remove the buttermilk as
thoroughly as possible tits equally so to do
it SO as not to mash the grain of the but
ter or squeeze it into pasty mass while
working it. A good deal of Judgment
and experience are requisite for deter
mining when butter has been worked
Just enough, for it should not be worked
until it is entirely dry. No matter
whether dry sailed or brine sailed, a
piece of good butter when cut though
with a knife should show two moist,
clean cut surfaces and without any
sticky butter adhering to the knife.

from the sheep is foreign matter, from
which the wool has to be cleansed before
it is manufactured. In buying wool this
element of waste is very important one
to be considered. 1t differs widely in
different breeds, and is also affected
more or less by the condition in which
the sheep have been kept in clean pas
lures or otherwise while the wool was
growing. 1t is no easy matter to deter
mine by estimation the several proper
tons of wool and waste.
Asstated by dealers and manufacturers,
limewashed merino wool shrinks from
80 to so per cent. in securing. The light
est and choicest Australian medium I'M
washed will yield 30 per cent less of
secured wool, and the very heaviest buck
feeces will yield about 20 per cent. of
pure secured wool Most of the unwash-
ed woods yield about so per cent of scour-
ed wool. Some of the light, open, coarse
unwashed woods of the carpet class will
yield rs high as 70 per cent. of secured
wool Fine Ohio full blood merino I'M
washed wool Duck fleeces thrown OUT
yield from 50 to 40 per cent. of secured
wool. The merino fleeces grown in
Texas and on the western prairies
yield from 90 to 81 per cent. of
secured wool. Understandable Ohio
fleeces yield from 50 to 40 per cent
when secured Cross bred Ohio feeces
washed on the sheep yield from 60 to rs
per cent. of secured wool and cross bred
western prairie fleeces from 80 to so per
cent. Tub washed woods generally yield
from so to 90 per cent. of secured wool
Secured woods, in the condition in which
they are usually prepared for sale, yield
from IS to 80 per cent. of secured wool
on rewashing.
Wool is marketed as unwashed, fleece
washed, tub washed and secured. IN
washed wool is the fleece in the con-
dition in which it was shorn from the
sheep. Fleece washed is wool that has
been washed on the sheep, usually in
streams of running water, before they
are shorn. Such washing, if thoroughly
done, will remove the alkaline portion
of the yolk and most of the earthly mat
ter, but leaves the animal oil in the
fleece. As sometimes practiced, it leaves
the wool but little if any better than
good unwashed. Tub washed is wool
washed by hand in tubs, as it is usually
done in a small way by farmers. If the
washing is done in cold water it is often
no better than fleece washed. When
washed with warm water and soap j.
may be made almost equal to secured
wool. Secured wool is wool washed in
a warm alkaline bath and afterward
rinsed thoroughly in clear water until
it is absolutely clear and ready for man.
ufacturing.
From the above it will readily be seen
that no rule of "one-third off for IN
washed" or, indeed, any other percent
age can have any general application in
the buying and selling of the clips with
out in most cases being unfair to the buy
er or seller. The consequence is, says
The New York World, from which the
above is quoted, that wool is now very
generally being bought on its merits, the
price varying according to its cleanness
and condition. Washing wool on the
sheep has also become far less common
than formerly.

Every farmer by this time ought to
know the merits of pyrethrum as an in
sacticide, for these have been set forth
from time to time ever since its efficiency
was proven. That none may become

Is again stated that there are three prin-

market, known as persian insect pow
der" ''Dalmatian insect powder" and
''Buhach," which last is the California
product. These are all made from the
powdered flowers of plant of the genus
pyrethrum. The buhach is the brand
most freely used by gardeners and farm
ers, being cheaper somewhat than the
