Such blocks may be used as artificial mar

side, owing, perhaps, to incomplete fusion;
this gives surface which is admirably

the country than all other diseases put

many years doctors pronounced it local
disease. and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurahle.
Science has proven cstarrh to be con-

constitutional treatment. Halls C.tarrh

THE New York Central Railway, it is
claimed, has beaten all records for fast
time, on this or the other side of the AS
lantic. A special train, including one Of
the new standard passenger engines

waite passenger cars weighing 260 600
pounds, carrying Vice President Webb
ard party. ran from New York 10 Buff
falo in 44O minutes. including three stops.
The distance is 435! miles, or over mile
a minute, because the three stops are in
cluded, and one Of them was seven and a
half minutes in length. This is > mag
rificent showing, but little too fast for
ordinary people, the Chicago Post re-
marks. Forty miles an hour is good
enough for the average traveller. Bat no

not object to 100 miles an hour and would
take all the risks for the sake of saving
time This is progressive age aud we

his methods in making butter at a Wis
consin agricultural convention. 1t ap-

milk az the time of churning varies, be-
ing in the summer GO dogs. and in the
winter 65 dogs. 1t is then washed in
water ut &c dogs. and is washed in two
or three waters. He does not wash as
much as some lest he should destroy the
flavor. In sailing he uses only an ounce
of salt to a pound of butter. 1t takes
about forty minutes to churn. He puts
in enough hot water to raise the tenn
perature to 65 dogs, in winter. Heskims
the milk when it begins to turn. 1t is
set in shallow pans. Mr.. Goodrich has
tried sailing butter in brine and packing
it right from the churn, but does not
favor this plan. He packs his butter for

1t without Splashing Wagons.
Every man who purchases a new wagon

Professor Cooks Wash for Trees.

The following is, according to Pro-
lessor Cook, an effective wash for fruit
trees. 1t prevents egg laying and kills
the newly Matched caterpillars as they
begin TO tunnel the trees: Take 100
pounds Of caustic potash, one barrel of
lime, one gallon of crude carbolic acid,
two pounds of white arsenic or London
purple, which is perhaps better and GER
tainly cheaper, and water enough to
make 300 gallons of the wash. This will
be sufficient for 1900 trees; smaller guam
titles may be made in like proportion.
Apply the wash with a stiff brush dur
Ing summer.
