Ererv farmer shoula provide himself

Every farmer should provide himself
with a complete butchering outfit: large
barrel for scalding and a scaffold for
hanging the hogs, constructed in such
manner as to be taken apart and put
away in the dry until needed again.
A good. tight, well built smokehouse
should be ON every farm, large enough
to accommodate the entire butchering
work, meat blocks for cutting up, tables
for lard, ETC., boxes for salting down the
meat until ready to hang up. and a good
furnace suitable for rendering. Ventila-
tion is necessary and should be protected
by fine wire screen SO as to exclude flies.
The butchering work should never be
brought into the dwelling.
Rendering lard, making sausage. etc.,
is work of itself, and should be pro-
vided with suitable place, and good
roomy meat house is the most suitable.
When farmer gets properly fixed to
provide his own meat supply. carrying
every detail of the work, he has then
accomplished one of the greatest systems
of saving to be acquired ON the farm

Another wonderful discovery has
been made. and that, too by a lady In

clutches upon her and for seven years she
withstood its severests tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months she
coughed necessarily and could not sleep.
She bought Of us a bottle OF DR.. King's

Immediately after the election we point
ed out the fact that while everybody would
shrek for ballot reform this year there
would be no ballot reform while the Sem
ate had political majority OF one kind
and the House of another, aud our pre-
diction has come true. The Special Com
mittee on Ballot Reform held another
meeting yesterday afternoon, but their de-
liberations did not partake Of that unanl-
nifty which some people had predicted.
In fact, the committee has struck a snag
which may retard the progress of business
and seriously threaten the success OF bal
lot reform this year. The Republican
members think one way; the Democratic
members another. The Werts bill does
not meet with the appreciation of the Re-
publicans. Many of Its provisions are OBJ
jectlonable to them and they insist upon
reconstruction. Notably the provision
regulating the distribution OF official bal
lots which has brought out strong opposi-
ton from the Republican members. They
insist that these ballots should be kept I'M
der lock and key until the day OF election
and then be used only by the voters. This
is the Australian idea and the Republi-
cans demand its adoption. They are
against the distribution of the ballot be-
fore election day as is proposed by the
bill. Senator Werts stoutly contested for
the idea, and said the Democrats would
not agree to anything contrary to II. Then
the Republicans wanted provision in
cluded In the bill providing for the closing
OF the polls at sunset. This aroused fierce
opposition from the Democratic side and
was warmly advocated by the Republi-
cans. Trenton Emporium.

stradivArIus.

We are always glad to pick up any
items relating to the eminent Stradiva-
RUS and his fiddles. There is dispute
pending in the court Of sessions, Edin-
burgh, upon the merits of which we
would not breathe syllable, even though
we had an opinion to breathe; but, in the
course Of q prolonged inquiry, some in
teresting details have come out The
plaintiff is wholesale fish salesman
Music has always been associated with
the sea and often with fish. The story
of Amphion recurs to every mind. The
plaintiff bought "Stradivarius" seven
years ago, which he now repudiates
upon the ground that several inches Of
the rim are not genuine.
In support Of his grievance various ex-
perts have been called, who enlightened
the Edinburgh jury upon things in gen.
eral connected with Stradivarius. They
have learned in particular that he was an
eccentric genius" who never made fid-
dies lone after another all alike"-this
information, we should think, must have
been rather embarrassing than sustain
ing to the good men in their responsible
position. AS for the particular instru-
ment in question, its belly was made by
Stradivarius, and the varnish ON the back
was impaired by the same immortal
hand. About the other parts or limbs
we are not informed, excepting "the left

1t Is curious what can be done ia the
way of interior decorations with homely
materials by persons artistic tastes. There
is firm Of architects whose income Is en-
ormous and who have very handsome
suite Of offices. The walls OF their largest
and handsomest room are covered with
ordinary bagging held in place by wide
strips of cherry moulding. There is not a
person who enters this office who Is sot
struck by the thoroughly appropriate aud
artistic effect OF this combination. When
the late Cornelius Vanderbilt built his
summer residence at Hartford, at an ex-
pense of over 100000, the decorators
covered the walls OF his dining room with
ordinary brown paper, such as is used by
butchers to wrap meat in. There was a
cherry wood dado and rich frescoed frieze.
This room was considered one OF the
handsomest in that wealthy town.

Last year the catch of shad was the
greatest ever known, but 1t is expected
that this year will exceed 1t. The oldest
fishermen on the river do not remember a
season when the fish came SO early. A
big catch is therefore expected. Forty
million young shad were placed in the
Delaware by the Fish Commission three
years ago, aud, as shad are three years
fish, they IRE due this Spring. 1t is be-
lieved that young shad, when Matched in
the rivers, go back with the big ones TO
the Gulf Stream and that they follow it,
three years elapsing before they return.
The time seems sure fr IN records made
of the Fish Commissions work. Shad
will swim from Delaware Breakwater 10
Philadelphia, 100 miles, in five or six
hours. They run in schools. There are
no dams in the, Delaware and the fish,
easily mounting the rapids, spawn as high
