FRUITS FOR THE FAMILY.
An Important Adjunct to Home Life En-
joyment.

An Important Adjunct TO Home Life En-
Joyment.
How many families might enjoy home
and life more! With garden well sup
piled with fruits and vegetables, over
surfeiting with pork and lack of fruit
on the table is one great cause of disease
and sickness Many doctors bill
might have been saved; many an un.
timely death might have been prevent
ed, and many a boy might have been
kept at home by table well supplied
with healthful fruit, instead of the old,
never-varying dish of pork. 1t is an
old saying, and too true in many cases,
that, to reach mans heart you must
first satisfy his stomach. To make
home the dearest place on earth, make
its attractions such that it will be i'm
possible to break away from it. Let the
table, next to the family altar, be the
most attractive place to the children,
and, our word for it, outside associ-
ations will be less attractive. Such
homes, as a rule, do not supply beer
gardens, billiard halls, gambling tables
and bar-rooms with customers Satisfy
the appetite with good things, especial
ly in youth, and there will be no desire
for the bad Teach the child and TIN.
child will become father to the man. In
the language of Thomas Jefferson, as to
that great national wrong, African
slavery; 81 tremble for my country
when remember that God is just, and
that His justice can not sleep forever"
So should we 'tremble" when we see
the tendency of this age the youth
finding associates away from the
family circle, and it should be
the study of every parent to make
home SO attractive that the boys
may be held by its chords of family
association and pleasures, and nothing
will help in this line than an abundance
of lucicus fruits on the table at meal
time, and on the comfortable evenings,
like intellectual food. Train the child
to read papers, books and his mind in the
channel of good thoughts, and there will
not be longing after the novel trash of
the day. So satisfy the appetite with
fruits and proper food, and there will
not be a longing after that that will
never satisfy. Satisfy the child with
its home and its surrounding, and when
that child becomes man, he will not
bring your gray hairs down with sorrow
to the grave. Good Strawberries, raspber-
ries, blackberries, grapes, cherries, plums,
pears and apples in abundance, have
them on vines, on trees and on the
table, fill up the old deep dish, heaping
full with berries, the lucious scarlet
beauties. Dish them out literally, fol-
lowed by all other fruits in succession.
All this with good supply of early and
late vegetables. such as beans, pease,
cabbage, lettuce, onions, pickles, and
again we say, boys never turn their
backs on such tables as that. Try it,
reader. have noticed many articles in
different papers about how to keep the
boys on the farm. If these good things
fail to keep your boy there, you had as
well let him go and paddle his own
canoe.-M. E. NJ, in Home and Farm.

HENRY GEORGE.

The other day Henry George was
sailed TO do duty in a superior court
m New York. At the close of the
trial the judge instructed the Jury to
lind verdict for the defendant and 10
enter up this as the finding Of the Jury.
Mr.. George arose and said that the
jury had not so found, and he did not
propose to have it go on record in that
way. Thereupon the judge excused
him from duty the rest Of the term.
We mention this case simply to show
how the law is tied up to old forms.
This is true in all departments of
science. A great many people think
they must take an opiate in order to
cure a cough or cold, when it is the
worStt hing they can do. If they will
take RElD'S GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE, a remedy that
contains neither opiate nor narcotic
they will be aStonished TO find that
they can be entirely cured without run
ming any risk. There is no danger of
taking an overdose of this remedy.

SWINE PLAGUE.

its Causes and the Means of Prevention.
The department of agriculture has is
sued a special report on Causes and
Prevention of Swine Plague" results of
latest experiments conducted by DIR.
Theobald Smith, under direction of DR..
Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal
industry. We make the following ex-
tracts in regard to the prevention of the
disease:
When the disease actually appears in
a herd the question generally arises
whether it is any use to make any at
tempt to save portion of the herd or to
leave them to their fate. AS a rule it
may be stated that it is best to
slaughter both healthy and diseased at
once, and give the surroundings suffi-
Gent time to rid themselves of the in
lection before fresh animals are brought
into them. If this be not desirable we
should recommend that the following
measures be vigorously carried out;
(a) Removal of still healthy animals to unin
fected grounds or pens as quickly as possible.
(c) Careful burial or burning OF carcasses
td) Repeated thorough disinfection of the in =
fected premises.
(c) Great cleanliness both as to surroundin gs
and as regards foods.
If the animals have been removed to
unaffected grounds, careful watching is
necessary to remove therefrom at once
all swine which shows signs of disease.
Among the various disinfectants
which can be recommended are the fol
lowing:
l. Slaked lime, in the proportion Of about 6
per cent. tone half pound of lime to gallon o.
water).
2. EQUAL volumes of crude carbolic acid and
ordinary sulphuric acid mixed together and
added to water in the proportion Of ounces to
gallon of water lie volume per cent?
g. Sulphuric acid added to water in the pro-
portion of ounce to gallon.
4. Boiling water
8. Corrosive sublimate tmercuric chloride) in
the proportion of one drachm TO a gallon OF
water Il to l,O00).
Solution No is said to be more ac-
tive it, while the sulphuric acid is being
added to the crude carbolic acid the yes
sci containing the latter is placed in
cold water to prevent undue heating Of
the liquid.
1t should be borne in mind that sui
phuric acid and corrosive sublimate at
tack metals, and that the solutions are
best made in wooden pals, etc.
Corrosive sublimate is highly poison
GUS, and the solution should not b.
stronger than indicated. The lime is
on the whole, the best and cheapest

HERE AND THERE.

Remember last years mistakes just
enough to avoid their repetition, but do
not brood or worry over their results
Put your sawdust around your cur
rant and gooseberry bushes. They need
good manure alone and will pay for it.
Economy is the proper term for
good farming. Save the Titles all
around. Chips will make as good fire
while they last as big cordwood.
Spring is the time of year that the
carbolic or kerosene spray or wash spray
should be freely used for hen mites.
You can clear the roosts and nests by
this means.
There is no class of stock that can
be improved so rapidly by proper Sc.
lection and careful breeding, or that
will degenate so rapidly with neglect,
as the hog.
There are four ways of handling
manure-piling it against the barn to
rot and leach, scattering it over the
barn-yard to wash, drawing it into the
field at once, and composing it as gar
deners do.
1t is said to be fact, and we be-
lieve the statement can be proved, that
the American people pay more for eggs
than they do for -four. Let the keep
ers of the American hen do their full
duty, and she will need no other.
Mind is as necessary as strength of
body in farming successfully. A we'll
planned seasons work will produce bet
ter results than one that is carried on
without regard to any plan.
1t is common saying and proba-
bly, true that more is wasted on the
farm than in any other business. Yet
it is also said that more farmers succeed
than men in commercial life. Now, if
all the wastes were stopped, what
would be the result.
When you set broody hen give
her a green sod for the bottom of her
next it tends to keep moisture for the
eggs. Mark the date of the setting on
each egg and see to it that no hens lay
too near her or break her eggs.--St.
Louis Republic.
"A durable whitewash for barns and
outhouses is made by adding to half a
bushel of quicklime, slalSed, two pounds
sulphate of zinc and one pound of COM
mon salt To make cream color, add
three pounds of yellow ocer; for gray,
four pounds of raw lumber and two
pounds of lampblack; for fawn, four
pounds of lumber, one pound Indian
red and one pound of lampblack.
The large farm has had its day, and
has got to go. Taxes are too high to
pay on unproductive lands. Small
areas and the intensive system of farm
ing will do more to elevate the condi-
ton of American farmers than unlim-
tied legislation. Intensive farming calls
for close attention to all matters, which
only good head can give. Let the
boys have the benefit of careful train
ing.
There is no better diet for growing
pigs of any age than wheat mill-feed.
This is much better than bran, which is
too coarse, and goes through your pigs
without doing them much good. In fact,
pigs will not eat bran unless starved to
it more than growing pigs ought to be.
If given bran in milk they will drink
the latter and leave the bran in the
trough. If cornmeal be mixed with
wheat bran the meal wll be sifted out

When swine have became infected

disinfection of such tract may be re-
garded as practically impossible. II,
however, they have been brought up in

A Life on the Ocean Marc.

A steam packet company of Liverpool
desired to enlarge their premises and de-
cided to purchase the piece of land
adjoining, aud which belonged to a
maiden lady. The lady was willing to
sell, and at so low a figure that the di.
rectors were astonished. She had a
clause inserted in the deed to the effect
that during the term of her natural life
she and a companion should at any time
travel free in any OF the compauy's
vessels. The directors were delighted
with their bargain aud readily agreed tc
this.
Ga the following day the lady sold her
furniture, rented her house and went on
board the first outward bound vessel
belonging to the company, without
troubling herself as to its destination.
Since TINT time, now twenty years ago,
she has always lived on ore ship or
another, and is generally accompanied
by some lady traveller for whom she ad:
vcrtiscs. She is believed to have made
more than ten thousand dollars by the
transaction and the company has offered
her this sum to get rid of her, but with.
out success, as she is earning more in
this than she could in any other way

Do Animals Commit Suicide.

There is story of poor cat, de-
pTived OF her kittens, who hanged her
self in the fork of a branch. But this
may have been an accident; we should
have given the cat the benefit of tho
doubt. News comes of dog which
committed suicide. His master declined
to take him out to shoot rabbits, and the
dog went and drowned himself in a
pond. The story is true, but Australian,
and the dog may have merely exhibited
an extreme form of colonial sensitive
ness. If we once admit that dog may
reason on life and death (not being a
mad dog), and exercise hasty but IA.
tional choice, it is plain that whole sys-
TENS Of ethics will have to be altered.
The poor Indian may be right about the
equal sky, which is poor prospect for
people who are not fond of dogs. The
ghosts of dogs huve been seen, aud are
as we'll vouched for as any others; so, on
the whole, the poor Indian may be less
untutored than the poet imagined. =

The Americsa. Tssatspl,nt..

The Hex casino, ore youpon, is q
shrub or small tree whichf grows in the
Southern States along the sea coast, to
not more than twenty or thirty miles in
land, from Virginia to tho RIO Graude.
Its leaves and tender branches were once
used by the Indians in the same way
that the Chinese tea and the Paraguay
tea are used. But the drinking of this
tea has been nearly If not quite abau-
doned. A study OF its history has been
made by DR.. e. III. Hale, who has OK
amincd all the references to it he could
find, and has started an inquiry into the
reason it has been abandoned, and the
expediency of reviving its use. It's leaf,
according to the analysis by Professor
Venable, OF the University of North
Carolina, contains caffeine. 1t is not so
pleasant in odor and taste as the Chinese
tea; but it seems to have some salutary
properties which the latter does not pos
sess, and may perhaps be more cheaply
obtained. DIR. Hale estimates the ex-
tent Of the land over which it grows as
about forty thousand square miles, aud
suggests that careful experiments in cul-
tivation aud manipulation might result
in furnishing our markets with a product
that would be found in many cases an
acceptable and useful substitute for more
expensive imported tea. = Popular
Science Monthly.
