RAISING HORSERADISU.

Here, where horseradish is grown
largely for market, we have deep allu-
vial soil, free from stone or clay--a good
sandy4oam. The custom is to raise the
crop on the same land year after year, as
the soil is not easily rid Of the rootlets
that break off and remain, sprouting in
spring sometimes from the bottom of the
furrow where the plow cut them off i'm
the fell. We never raise the first crop
on sod, but always after other crops.
Moisture is necessary, but not damp
soil. We use horse manure, ten cords
per acre, plowed in fall or spring and
narrowed we'll. Rows are three feet
apart and sets two feet apart in the
row. The setts are obtained in this way
When crop of radish is gathered in fall
the roots are trimmed of "sprages, "
leaving the marketable root ready for
sale; this is done in the field usually, or
it can be done under cover and shelter
if the weather be cold or stormy. These
small rootlets, one half to one-fourth inch
through, sets for next seasons crop,
Nare kept over winter by buryIng in the
ground, where only they will preserve
the freshness necessary to perfect growth.
A sett is a root three to eight inches long,
and should be dropped in hole made
with a crowbar of the right depth to
leave the top of the root two inches be-
low the surface; fill the soil around the
sett, and leave it to start, which it will
do in four to six weeks. This work Of
planting in spring is sometimes expe-
dited by laying the sets along in every
third furrow, and then plowing the soil
upon them. The large roots should not
be used to propagate from, either by
slicing, quartering, or even by planting
the crown; the root when grown takes
its shape from the sett; and a root dug
after one seasons growth should be
about ten inches long and two inches

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

rNhN n M pSROES
1t has been demonstrated that spirits
turpcntne is one of the best remedies for
; roup in fowls.
Rust and rot do more for the imple-
ment maker in winter than wear and tear
do in summer.
! Have coops provided and yards arranged
in readiness for the young chicks and
thejr.m others.
| DO not crowd the fowls, especially as
warm weather comes on. Close quarters
Invited disease.
The secrets Of large yields always and
ttvM3where are rich soil, good seed and
thorough tillage.
J. More attention. ought to be paid to the
/ teeth of our domestic animals. They often
suffer from neglect.
The farm may not yield big profits,
i:but is there any other calling so sure to

+ The fruit orchard wants no fresh and
| fermenting manures. Give it manure
that is well decomposed
The farmer who makes his own pork
pays himself for SO doing.
A small amount of easily digested food
is preferable to II larger amount that is
more difficult of digestion.
Sour swill is one OF the sources of dis
ease in the hog. Much of it is kept until
it becomes too acid for even hog
Clean earth is good absorbent for the
poultry house, but should be removed
without fail before it becomes foul.
! Use but do not waste or abuse the gifts
of nature. She supplies enough for all, if
we have the intelligence to use them
rightly.
1t is a great luxury to live on a good
, road. 1t pays every one living along a
road to do his share toward making it a
good one.
When only one ingredient is lacking in
the soil, that one when applied will pro-
. ducc Just as good results as complete
manure would.
Use salt rs n fertilizer at the rate of
about one barrel to the acre. In some
cases double the amount, as a top dress
ing, would be better.
A particular fertilizer may be benc-
! fetal on one farm or field and of no value
on another, because that particular in
gredient is not needed.
A tree planted in poor, barren soil
will not thrive much by filling the hole
with good earth or manure. 1t wants
good soil and good care.
Corn cobs contain more potash than
wood. If they are used for fuel, and the
ashes saved, it will be the most econom-
ical mode of disposing of them.
Give your farm credit for furnishing
you home rent free and for q thousand
and one necessaries and luxuries which
you would have to pay cash for in city.
Recipe for vicious horses-patience
gentleness, tirmness and pctting, one
pound of each. Mix thoroughly with
one half pint Of common sense, and give
to the horse every day.
Running dairy without thermom-
eter is as inconvenient as running q house
hold without tlmepiccc. The good
workman must have good implements to
produce the best results.
Grating is an old art not sufficiently
appreciated. By it any old fruit tree that
is healthy but unproductive can be soon
changed in its character. Thousands of
farmers do not know how to graft,
though it is easily learned.

THE CIDER DANGER.

A correspondent of the Michigan Chris.
!idn idrocdte writes:
Liquor dealers will have little fear of losing
their business as long as Christian people
favor cider. Cider fosters the taste for
strong drink. If not why then will poor
drunkard beg for just little cider at q
farmhouse, when he has no more money to
buy liquor in town? l believe the devil
laughs when he sees father pouring out
cider for his little boy to drink.
There is no doubt that many boys and
men first acquire an abnormal taste for
other alcoholic intoxicants through the use
of cider. Neither is there any doubt that
in rural communities, as in the late amend
ment campaigns in Massachusetts,, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and elsewhere, it is
great stumbling block in the way of
securing the prohibition of tho lqIor traffic
The cider pledge is no less impor tant than
that against beer, wine and whisky

DUTY OF THE CHURCH.

OF the duty Of the church temperance
writer urges: 'She must disdain to partake
of the Intoxicating cup at the Lords supper;
she must refuse fellowship to all who are en-
gagged in the b,Isness-the distiller, brewer,
shareholder, the saloon-keeper, and the IL
censed grocer; she must deny herself a share
in the ilI-gotten gains of the accursed bus
iness; she must suffer not joist, not "a brick,
not nail, even, Of her sanctuaries to be sup
piled at the expense of the wrecks of human
ity which the trade is making; she must, in
q word, throw the entire traffic overheard as
a pest TO society, scourge, an infaasy Of in.

A few years ago It was very rare indeed to
find any but old or middle aged people affiicted
with Kidney or Bladder Difficulties, but to-day
not only are these troubles prevalent to an
alarming eItent among the matured, but even
our children between 8 and 20 years of age, are
attacked and die suddenly from that insidious
destroyer of human life, Brlghts Disease. 1t
is but step from the ordinary, common Kid
n"y disorder, 70 the more advanced 1risht's
Disease, and IL is the slight and early symptom
when neglected that leads to the fatal end,
hence extreme watchfulness is essential in or
der to sec that the Kidneys are performing
their function work in the right manner and
to detect the first departure from health.
Therefore 1t is the manifest duty of all to in-
vestigate and know what course to pursue and
what means to use.

NO MIDDLE GROUND ON THIS QUESTION

NO MIDDLE GROUND ON THIS QUESTION.
A man might as well try to wipe the
Rocky Mountains Off the face Of this conti-
nent with a school-boy's sponge as to try to
eliminate the liquor problem from the issues
of American life with any sort of measure
short Of its total, absolute national prohi-
bition. 1t Is the gigantic evil of the age
and the issue of its future life or death as O
traffic is Tine irrepressibie connicJ that Is now
upon the nation. The line of division upon
this question is radical and inflexible. There
is no middle territory where the man of
conscience and patriotism can stand, pro-
Tossing love for God, country and fellow
men on one side, and practising friendship
with the liquor traffic on the other hand. He
that is not against il is for it. by the Iu-
avoidable logic of tho situation, and no
manner OF argument or vohemence Of pro-
tcstation TO the contrary can ever change the
fact.
The nature of liquors and the history of
the traffic i'm all lands convict it as the most
stupendous curse of humanity, the enemy Of
all Righteousness, the robber of all pros
perity, the disturber of all peace and the
despoiler of all phases of individual and ma
tional glory. No priest or publicist, no rite
or sacrament, no philosophy and no legislation
have ever been able to transmute it from a
curse into n blessing. Your own common
sense repudiiates any man or argument that
seeks to teach you that the liquor traffic is a
personal or public good. If were to say to
you that its tendency and aim is to produce
SOBER industrious and thrifty citizens, instead
of sots, paupers and criminals, not man
or woman among you would leave this hall
to-day with an atom of respect for my YER
acity and honesty. If 1 were to say to the
wives of Evansville that the liquor trade is
! blessing to them, yielding them loving, ten
der, provident and Christian husbands, they
would repudiate mo with scorn, as they re-
member their sorrows, their tears, their
shame and their ruined hopes. By my hope
in God, by my past experience, by my 10y
atty to the truth, l would die dogs death
in my place before i would so outrage and
insult you !-Rep. Sam Small

THE ANNUAL ENGLISH DRINK BILL.

Dr. Dawson Burns upon whom the man.
tie of the late Mr.. William Hoyle has fallen,
has calculated the annual drink bill for the
year 1889. As compared with 1888, the fig.
ures are by no means creditable. In the
former year the drink bill was 9l24 6l5, 346;
in the latter, 4l32 2l3,276. AS the prosperi-
ty Of the nation has revived the expenditure
of the nation in drink has increased by over
seven and half millions, or about 81 per
cent. In round figures, half million is due
to increased expenditures on wines, and half
million more on foreign and colonial spir
its, six and half millions being the increase
on beer and British spirits. This points to
the fact that, wages have increased, a
large portion of the industrial classes have
been more lavish in their expenditure upon
drink. The annual expenditure per head has
gone up from e3 shillings 8 pence to gS
shillings 4 pence. One satisfactory feature
of the case is that bad as we are, we have
been worse. In the decade ending 1879 the
annual average drink bill was nearly 9136,-
600 600. in the last decade it was 4125, 5O0,-
O0O and this in spite of the increase in the
population. Echo.

SALOON MEN NEVER SLEEP.

A bill is pending in the New York Legisla-
ture to amend the liquor law by inserting a
clause making it unlawful for any Sheriff or
other officer, or any agent of any society, to
enter a saloon and offer to purchase driI ks
at an hour during which u should beskept
closed. The object, of course, is to make it
impossible for those charged with the duty of
enforcing the law to procure evidence OF it's
violation. The saloon men evidently act
