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

A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
which have been
gnawed of and destroyed. These
little bacilli, rs 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

tives become gern-proof and well. o

The reasons given by the very rever-
end dean Of st. Paul's, London. for his
defense of hogging children are not quite
80 clear or 80 conclusive as that Of tbo
boy whose father was about to thrash
him. "Do you know why am going TO
whip you, my sonT asked the old man.
"Yes," replied sonny; "its because you
are bigger than l am" The very rever-
end gentleman argues that youthful
faults must be beaten out Of boys. Un-
less the good dean has got higher up
than most of mankind, he himself has
possibly one or two faults left yet Ac-
cording TO his logic, the proper thing
would be for some great, strong giant
to strap him upon a block, bare his
sanity back and thrash him well for
these faults, 30 as TO eradicate them.

FLAYORING REEF


Rich, juicy beef is the product of
breed and feed. If a good breed is OBJ
tanned, q good system of feeding then
becomes essential for the highest perfec-
ton OF meat. There is such a thing as
Havoring beef by feeding it,and breeders
could make a distinct and noble depar-
ture in this line. Feeding in this way
10 not simply to give the animals any
thing that they can convert into flesh,
but only the food that will add to the
beef certain davors and richness which,
will make the meat desirable.
1t is the wild celery which makes the
delicious favor of the meat of the
sanvas-back duck. Chestnuts and other
nuts make turkeys and chickens pro-
duce meat of a superior flavor, and it is
now demonstrated beyond a doubt that
clover-made pork is far preferable to
that made entirely from corn. In many
other ways every article of food favors
the meat, making it better or worse for
having entered the system of the animal
or bird.
Just previous to slaughter, beef takes
its flavor directly from the food given to
the animal, and the correct method OF
feeding is to give the cattle only suck
foods all will make the meat sweet, juicy
and aromatic. A really choice article in
beef, as well as in any other food, will
be eagerly sought after and paid for at
fancy prices.
But the feeding for flavor is not con-
fined entirely to cattle. The same truth
holds among the swine, poultry and other
animals. Successful dairymen are very
careful in feeding their cows, because
they know that the food will directly af-
feet the milk. Rich, juicy grass pro-
duces the fine June butter and cream,
gbich is very different from the butter
made from the dry, coarse fodder of the
winter. 1t is important that all who
raise meat for market should take q les
son from the dairymen, and then try to
adopt similar methods in their feeding.
Vary the diet, and feed for bone, muscle
and fat, but also feed for flavor. Even
tender meat that has nc juice or flavor is
not very desirable.
The French produce for market the
finest poultry in the world, and they
have succeeded in studying the question
in this respect better than any other
farmers. The meat Of their poultry ex-
cells, and is of a remarkable favor. They
do it by feeding the fattening birds
with cloves and spices, which become
mixed in the meat so chat there is a de-
liclous aroma from it all of the time. Sc
excellent are their methods in ~fattening
poultry that farmers of other countries
adopt their rules.
Feeding for flavor is thus founded up
on a law of nature which should not be
overlooked. There is O wide field for
investigation aud experiment. The i'm
provement of poultry, swine aud cattle
flesh is annually becoming more essen
tial. and those who lead in this respect
are sure to reap the profits. B ostoi

I aHsr TIME TO SHEAR sHEEr.

There is considerable difference OF
Opinlon as to the Dest time for shearing
sheen. Leaving out of the account the
few who shear very early sometimes
even in winter, in order to fit their IN
smals for show purposes, there are two
classes OF owners-one who think it best
81 remove the wool from their sheep as
soon as a few warm days come in the
spring, and another who believe it to be
wise TO wait until the nights as well as
lid DAYS are warm, and the summer heat
has become strong and permanent. Tt
seems to 3 that there are valid objec-
lions against either extreme. If deprived
of their wool too early in the season,
sheep suffer a great deal from cold and
are also liable to contract severe lung
diseases. The removal of a fleece of
average weight must make a great diff
ference in the condition of the animal,
and one which it cannot safely with
stand in cold weather or IL it is soon to
he exposed to sharp winds or heavy
storms. On the other hand, the heat of
some of the cary summer days is very
prOstrating to sheep which still have
their deeces, and must not only be ex-
tEeEsly uncomfortable but also decidedly
anhealthful. For this reason we belleve
It Is safer and better to avoid either of
these extremes. It is not well to do the
