TIE CURE DE 1NERnIErY.

The dawning truth that the drink evil is q
disease, N durable as other diseases are,
has passed the first period of neglect, indif-
ference, and denial, and has come to the sec
ond stage of partial recognition and accep-
lance. The same army of the credulous, the
enthusiasts, aud marvel hunters are welcom-
ing this fact, and the same wild expectations
OF its practical possibilities fill the air. This
is ollowed by the same old charlatanism and
empiric efforts to make personal profit out
of these truths by the use of the same old
quackish means and methods.
These efforts are prominent by the same
assumption OF superior knowledge of discov-
cry of new facts, OF new remedies, and new
methods, all of which are concealed. Then
follow claims of extraordinary cures under
extraordinary conditions, the proof of which
depends alone on the statements of the
cured.
Then comes the old story of persecution
by physicians and scientists, and of posing
as martyrs, public benefactors, and pic.
neer discoveries, with indirect appeals for
sympathy from the broad and liberia
minded. Back of all this is a pecuniary
field actively titled which yields rich har.
vests, and altogether it is the same old Jam.

EXPERIMENTS WITH OATS.

Experiments have been made at the
Illinois station on rate and depth Of
seeding, and tests of varieties of oats.
All weSo made on the fertile d~ark-colored
soil OF the station grounds. Welcome
oats were sown on seven plats, each one
by sixteen rods, at the rate of from one
to four bushels per acre. The yields of
both grain and straw for each of the four
years the experiment has been in pro.
gress and the averages of the four years
are tsbulsted for each rate of seeding.
The largest yield of grain in 1891 was
from sowing three and one-half bushels
per acre with little variation between the
plats sown at the rate Of two, two and
one-half, three, three and one-half and
four bushels per acre. The average yields
for four years were much the same as the
above. One or one and a half bushels
gave smaller average yields than any of
the heavier seedlings. The weight of
the grain per bushel was less in the case
of the light seeding.
As to depth of covering the indica-
tons were that the returns were slightly
better from covering two inches deep,
though in trials for four years the best
results have not come from covering the
same depth in any two years.
The average yield per acre in tests Of
forty-four varieties on ffty-fve plats in
1890 and 1891 was &C. bushels of grain,
weighing 1875 pounds per bushel, and
2S40 pounds of straw.
The e~arly-maturing varieties are those
harvested July 6 to IA; the medium,
July 10 to 20, and the late, July "a to
30. The early-maturing varieties are
superior to either the medium or late in
the average yield of both grain and
straw, the weight per bushel and size of
berries, but are inferior to either of these
in per cent. of kernel; the dun-colored
gave the smallest yield and the largest
per cent. of kernel. As to the panicles,
open or closed, the latter are superior in
yield Of both grain and straw and also in
per cent. Of kernel.
As TO weight per bushel, those which
weigh less than thirty-two pounds are
superior in both yield and per cent. of
kernel. Notwithstanding the ommon
belief to the contrary, it is said those
oats which weigh least to the bushel
have usually the highest per cent. of
kernel and consequently the highest
food value. Thirty varieties have been
tested for three years and fourteen ad-
ditional for two years. No one variety
has been shown to be greatly superior to
all others. A different variety stood
first in yield in each of the three years.

UNHARMFULNEss OF CAKE.

Cake of the simple kinds, especially
sponge, is and can be frequently given
to the sick. Good sponge cake served
with sweet cream or a glass of milk is
an excellent lunch for an invalid.
Some of the plain kinds of butter
cakes-those made with a little butter
such as white, ''feather" and similar va
rieties-are really excellent food. Con-
slider for a moment what they contain:
Eggs, milk, butter, sugar and flour
five of the most valuable Of all u food
products.
Yet there are those who pride them.
selves upon not eating cake. This
i~diosyncrasy can only be explained ii
n or two ways. Either the cake which
they have had has not been properly
made or else it has been so good that
during a lapse of judgment they have
eaten too much.
The dark fruit cakes are to be avoided
by both sick and well on account of the
indigestible nature of the dried fruits
used in them, and also because they are
generally very compact and heavy, not
light.
There is a custom prevalent in many
kitchens of using what is called ''cook-
ing butter, that is, butter which is off
taste or rancid. If you have no other
butter for cake, don't make any. Cake
made with that will not come under the
head Of "unharmful." Sweet butter and
fresh eggs, not ''store" eggs, are abso-
lutely necessary.
Also is needed a dainty thinker to
oil the pan in which it is to be
baked, so thGt the outside of the
cake shall not taste of the fat.
Many an otherwise good, harmless
cake has been spoiled by doing this with
dirty or rancid grease. Use sweet but
ter or sweet olive oil .-Chicago News
Record.

wINTERlNG FRUIT WOOD,

Grapes can be grown aver in the coolest
sections, If the vines are laid down on
the soil in November, so as to be COW
eIed with snow, and this is an easy mat
ter with their plant stems.
Professor Budd SAYS that peach trees
have been fruited in Iowa by using the
same preservative means. Their stiff,
branchy nature i'll adapts them to lying
down, but this difficulty, as explained in
the Rural New Yorker, is overcome by
reducing the young tree to a single bare
stem after one years growth. This stem
is bent fat to the ground late in the fall ;
the roots being bent or cut to make it
practicable. About five feet of the stem
remain permanently horizontal and the
point grows upward and is allowed to
branch but chieayi in line with the pros
trate stem, and is staked to hold it erect.
In the next fall the top is easily bent
down to one side or the other and held
fiat by billets of wood.
The Antwerp sorts of raspberry can be
fruited with similar care to let only three
or four canes grew in a hill in summer
and TO weight these down for the win.
ter. 1t is best not to cover any of such
laid down shoots with earth as, # mild
weather occurs before April, the fruit
buds may swell and rot. A difficulty IN
the case of the beach tree is its tendency
10 making rank growth late in summer,
which cannot npen we'll. The bending
and training indicated above are likely
to check this over production of soft
wood and to induce more Towering buds
aud shoots.

TEETorALERs' JUBILEE.

A jubilee in honor of the fftieth anniver-
sary OF the founding of the Order of the
Sons Of Temperance filed every seat in
Carnegie Music Hall last evening, The
audience was made up largely of members
of the Order, but there were many present
who had no connection with it. On the plat.
form and scattered through the house were
some 200 members of the National Division,
who were present as the guests of the
Division of Eastern New York. They had
come from ali parts of the Union and the
British Provinces.
Among those On the platform were John
w. Oliver, of Yonkers. and George Nc.
Kibben, the only survivors of the band of
sixteen which met in a little upper room in
Division street half a century ago and
founde1 the organization from which the
present Order has grown. Their appearance
and Introduction were greeted with shouts,
aud every mention of their names brought
forth applause.
The original charter, granted to the
Division OF Eastern New York by the
National Division early in lS43, got a noisy
reception when it was brought down the
aisle and placed against the speakers table,
and so did the Chelsea Subordinate Division
and its corps Of cadets, 400 in all, as il
marched into the hall to music.
The long programme was plentifully inter
spersed with music, and the addresses al
had the advantage OF brevity. The Rev. c
II. Bosworth, Grand Chaplain of the GranC
Division Of Eastern New York, opened thu
exercises with prayer, and N. j. Stearns,
who presided, made the opening remarks
The Rev. Stephen Merritt delivered the ad
uress of welcome, ana Edward Crummey re
sponded briefly in behalf of the visitors.
After the ''Song of Jubilee" especially
composed for the occasion by Edward Cars

DR.. I. L. Cuyler spoke and was followed by
Mr.. Oliver. Addresses by Genvral Loui
Wagner, of Philadelphia; Benjamin r
Jewell, of Massachusetts,, and Genera
Samuel +. Cary, of Ohio, followed. 81
Leonard Tilley, Governor of New Bruins
wick, had been expected to represen
Canada on the platform, but was unable t
be present. His place was taken by Mr.
Carswel, whose references TO the American
and British flags which hung on either side
OF the stage were loudly applauded. -NeS
