German
Syrup

The majority Of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead Of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-'
merable small creatures living in the,
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegrn that Is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
which have been,
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and Increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
-soothe that. in short time oensusnP-
tives become germ-proof and well. o

History Of Mans Top Gear from the Ear
Hest Times.

history OF Mans Top Gear nom the Ear
Hest Times.
In the time OF Chaucer, more than 400
years ago, women wore hats which he
says were @as broad as buckler or o
targe.p and from then until now every
fcw days the style was changed, some
times narrow, sometimes broad, high
crowns. low crowns, and no crowns
at all.
Hat fashions have record as far back
as Shadrach, Meshech. and AbedneRo,
and these notables OF long ago were cast
into the fiery furnace, bound In their
coats, their hosen, aud their hats and
their other garments. This Is sup
posed to be the most ancient example OF
modern society reporting known.
the returning crusaders are supposed
to have brought the hat idea TO Europe,
and they have been growing in favor ever
since their introduction into England
early In the sixteenth century. The
English makers learned to manufacture
them so wen that Harwood, the poet,
was moved to say:
The spaniard's constant TO his block.
The French inconstant ever;
But of all felts that may be felt,
Give me your English beaver.
A writer of that time describes the
fashionable beaver as sharp In the crown,
like the shaft OF a steeple, and standing
o quarter Of yard, more or less. above
the crown of the head Other hats were
nat and broad In the crown, like the
battlements of a house, some black, some
brown, some russell, some red, some
green, some yellow, and often changing
in shade from one month to another.
The Puritan preachers hurled savage
imprecations at sya vii ainous Invention
and We gross impiety OF We steeple
crown" but few years later the steeple
crown became q badge of honor among
the Puritans themselves, and in the
pictures Of the witches of those somber
times 1t is as prominent feature as the
broomstick or black cat.
The cooked hat had long reign, and
was favorite with Voltaire, Frederick
the Great, Napoleon, and other noted
men. 1t was out Of style, except In the
army. where the latter was its cham
pion, and was crowded out OF popular
favor by the much written about Calm
ney-pot hat, which is said to have taken
an unusual course for fashion and
gone from America to France, being in
troduced into that country by French
men returning home after the revolu-
ton. In France 1t was decided nov
city and regarded as badge OF liberty,
and at once became the rage. Whenever
Benjamin Franklin appeared in the
streets Of Paris with tall hat on he at
tracted crowd.
1t Is said that one OF the fierce czars
OF Russ once held reception. which
was attended by the ambassador Of
Venice, then rich and powerful, who
kept his hat on his head. The Russian
ruler was so enraged at the arrogance
that he ordered the hat TO be nailed to
the head OF the impolite man.-Boston

let me ask the reader how he is 10 know
whether his hogs, his poultry, or his
cows pay him profit, IL he feeds each
class of these animals from the same
grain bin? The cows may be making a
profit on their feed, and thus conccaling
deficit that comes, from Improbable
hogs and hens. Or, The COWS and hens
may be conceaiing the fact that the hogs
are running in debt TO the farm. 1t is
the same with other kinds of stock, when
when all are fed from common quantity
OF feed stuffs. Occasionally IL is even
worse than the case mentioned, the cows,
hens, and hogs might each and all re-
turn less than the cost of their keep, and
still the truth be undiscovered, provided
some other branch of farm operations
brought i'm sufficient revenue TO make up
the deficiency. How can 1t be told,
whether certain crop of corn. oats,
wheat, or potatoes, has been a profitable
one to raise, II no account is kept OF the
cost OF preparing the ground, dressing,
caring for, and harvesting the crop?

each kind of stock; then upon the first
day of January of each year. or upon the

If one chooses, large blank book should
be procured, and every time a sack Of
bran or oats is put into the poultry
house, it's cost should be charged to
the account of the poultry. II
ground moal, bone, or any other
article of food is purchased for
the hens, let the cost be charged to
them, and whenever eggs or market
poultry are sold, let the proper credit be
given. together with a credit for the

the hens have eaten certain number OF
bushels OF vegetables, there value should
be charged TO the poultry account At
the end OF the year 1t will be pretty
plain how the fowls have paid.
The dairy will have charged TO 1t the
feed that has been placed In the stable
bins, together with the value of the hay,
ensilage, and roots eaten; and credit will
be given to the same, 70. the butter sold
and eaten, the milk sold or used, and
the estimated value of the skim-milk fed
out The dairy should also be credited
for the value of the calves, when weaned,
aud for the manure that is made.
II is not necessary to go further into
details, to show that this is the only way
by which we can tell whether the work
is profitable or not This is the only
way, If it is not profitable, by which one
can tell what branch is handicapping all
the rest. 1t needs no great knowledge
OF bookkeeping, to classify these inn
portant facts. Any one with good com
mon sense can make such debit and
credit entries, under the heading of each
branch OF his farm operations, as he can
himself readily understand, when he
comes to reckon up the cost and the
value OF articles sole and on hand. The
great point is to begin keeping such ac-
counts, and the sooner one begins, the
better.

Low Heads for Apple Troea

Nearly all old apple trees are tho high
headed. The idea of their planters and
early trainers seems to have been that it
would not do to let branches hang so low
that the largest horse could not pillow or
cultivate close to them without injury
The consequence is the stems mostly run
up seven or eight feet without limb,
and most Of the fruit exposed to winds,
IS blown on and Spoiled for marKetfng.
If not, it is extremely difficult and even
dangerous to gather IL by ladders The
way the business is managed now is to
train low-keep the branches so that
when loaded they will touch the ground.
Many of the apples thus grown can be
picked from the ground or by low step
ladders set under the trees. These low
heads are objected TO by some from the
Inconvenience OF driving round in the
orchard with team to gather apples;
but when the proper distances In setting
the trees are observed, especially be-
tween the rows, the objection has less

LIVE STOCK.
Look out for n Drop.

A great many who have gone into the
business Of breeding trotters will soon
find themselves on the wrong side of the
fence, so far as financial matters are
concerned. Too many people embarked
in the business when IL was on the boom,
just as they did when Jersey cattle were
selling for tens OF thousands OF dollars
and everybody thought that all that was
necessary TO make money was to buy a
herd of them. and beein breediBe.iasaIe
will be this way In the trotting horse
business, except that a horse cannot
produce any commodity as marketable
as butter, and is therefore really lux
ury. OF course there will always be a
legitimate market for the light harness
horse, but men who think they are going
to make money after starting out. by
paying thousands OF dollars for a stall
lion, and having broodmares worth from
81, 600 to So, 900 are almost certain to be
mistaken. A good many men have made
money by breeding trotters, but almost
without exception thef have started in
modest way, and developed the colts by
their own horses and their own mares.
In other words they have made the
blood they owned fashionable, or at
least helped to do so, and in this way
have greatly enhanced the value of
their goods without putting themselves
to great expense In doing so. The
market for trottcrs will always be
fairly good, and AT reasonable prices for
stations and broodmares, there will he
no occasion to conduct trotting-horse
farms at loss, but at the boom prices
that have bean paid for stations and
mares during the last three or four
years there is certainly no chance to
conduct breeding farms I'm q legitimate
manner, and make any considerable
amount Of money out of them.-[The

Bad Flavors.

L. c. Bennett says In Rurul Life: When
cows are fed on sour or moldy ensiage,
IL gives an unpleasant flavor to the milk,
cream, and butter, but II the milk Is
heated before setting TO 1875 degrees, this
tainted flavor Is all removed; or II the
milk is set without heating. then the
flavor may be corrected by heating the
cream, when perfectly sweet, to the
same temperature, and the butter will
be perfectly free from the tainted flavor.
The writer at one time fed the clover
that was put in the silo, whole, and had
become moldy at the outside, the cows
eating IL eagerly, but the milk was so
badly tainted that good butter could not
be made from IL until the milk was
heated as above stated. when the butter
had not trace of tho bad flavor. Tur-
nip flavor may also be removed by heat
ing the milk before setting. But the
flavor from onions and leeks Is TO be re-
moved by such heating. When cows
