Are Your Photographs Fading I?

INIGHr or ten months ago received 90 or
u more gross Of Prepared Paper for making
photographs on, which was used, yielding
the most beautiful results at the time.
The paper, however, was defective and in
a few months commenced to fade.
| have, therefore, placed a suit for indem-
nifty in the hands of my attorney-to recover
damages caused by the same; to set myself
right before my patrons and substantiate my
oft assurances of guarantees of all my work.
In order to carry out my purposes as above
given, will consider it marked favor for all
my patrons to examine their pictures, and
those of their friends made by me, and, if
defective, collect them, and | will with pleas
ure replace them
1t has been a most unfortunate affair to
me, aiming, as do, to use the best material
and thus insure the best possible work.
As proof of the permanency of my work
with reliable paper, invite an inspection
of the pictures in my show window, which
have been exposed to direct sunlight for
eight months, and which are intact to-day.
Hoping each customer will understand
my position and where a defective picture is
found, he or she will come in and have it
replaced, am very truly,

for hardly one work can be undertaken
more calculated to add value to farm
lands. to reduce the expense of pro-
ducing farm crops, to facilitate the
getting them to market or to the
Pleasures of country life, the getting
from home to town, from neighbor to
neighbour, to church and school and all
the delights of buggy and horseback
riding; we say, nothing facilitates
these as the construction of good
roads. True, we are passing through
a spell of bad seasons, of hard times,
low prices and stupid legislation, but
these need not blind our eyes to our
urgent necessities any more than they
would to getting a horse or COW ont

Why 1t Would Pay Our Farmers to Re-
construct Their Wagons.
By the use of vehicles as they are
now constructed the roads are spoiled
even in dry seasons, as the narrow
cutting wheel will grind the surface
Of the road to dust. Wheels with tires
ten and twelve inches wide cannot
grind the road, therefore not make SO
much dust, and the little dust which
will be created will, with every rain,
be pressed upon the road like a layer
Of asphalt.
Every rain and every load will help
TO pack the surface of the highway
more firmly. The farmer will be able
to draw his loads at any time of the
year and not depend half as much on
the weather as he now does.
The meanest roads we have In win

a frost sets in. Then our roads are a
veritable torture to man and beast, all

fashionable vehicles. If they only had
a reasonable under carriage with

to endure such awful roads

weather turning all at once into snow.

A PARTY WITHOUT BRAINS.
Democrats Lack Even the Elementary
Principles of Statesmanship.


1t is becoming very evident, if there
was ever any doubt about it, that
there is not room in the United States
for two protectionist parties at the
same time. The democratic party
aust have discovered this before it
amed and adopted the Chicago plat
I'm, and by various devices, some of
lem not particularly reputable, made
cir opposition to protection win in
1872. No sooner, however, had they
undertaken to put their free-trade
theories into practice than they
found nearly the whole coun-
try arrayed solidly against them.
The very fear of what they
might do created a paralysis of
domestic industry. withdrawal of
capital, and a shrinkage in the de-
mand for labor, accompanied, neces-
sarily, by reduction in wages. Then
the democratic party grew frightened
at the demon it had involved and fled
for refuge to the fortress of protection.
But instead of knocking at the gate
and demanding entrance, it climbed
the wickets, and even when inside de-
MED that it had asked shelter of pro-
lection aud asserted that it still ad-
hered to the banner of what it called
tariff reform.
We are strongly in favor of educa-
ton, but we maintain that congress is
not the place to teach would-be states
men the elementary principles OF
craftsmanship. Some little knowledge
of everyday affairs. some little power
of reasoning, some modicum of COM
mon sense Is necessary in congress.
The proper place for this party OF i'm
becility is the lower grades of the pub
lie schools. They need some little
foundation of brains before they at
tempt to handle serious questions

A DISGRAcEFUL SURRENDER.
The Coal Barons Are Favored by the Dis
honest Democrats.

The Coal Barons Are Favored by the Dis
honest Democrats.
Public attention has been so strong
ly drawn to the tremendous steal by
the sugar trust, authorized by the sen,
ate in its adoption of the sugar sched-
ule of the tariff bill, that an almost
similar surrender, made by the senate
to another trust, has not received the
attention it deserves. 1t was the i'm
position of a duty on bituminous coal
The cry of free raw materials s"
which the democrats have kept up for
years always included coal as one of
its chief items. When the tariff bill
was before the house, the question
was debated at length, and the demo
Gratis gave their united voice for fGee
coal.
Mr.. Wilson declared that duty
on coal is subsidy to the railroads,
and that there is no justification for a
duty on coal in either the democratic
or the republican platform.
Mr.. Rayner, democrat. from Mary
land, said that if coal were free the
product of the Nova Scotia mines
would fill the New England markets,
but could not compete with our own
mines in the interior of the country:
that the entire Pacific coast and the
northwestern states, which now OBJ
tain their coal from Canada, would be
greatly benefited by free coal.
Mr.. Mcguire, of California. declared
the monopoly created by the duty on
coal is one of the most unjustifable Of
all the monopolies that have found
shelter and encouragement behind she
tariff banner" And so bitumiuous
coal was put on the free list by the
democrats of the house, that the coal
barons" should be kept down in their
schemes of rapacity.
The bill went over to the democratic
senate, and the finance committee I'm
mediately made bituminous coal dutia-
BILE st forty cents per ton, and slack
and culm at fifteen cents.
How was that for consistency?
When these items were reached in
the senate debate, Senator Hill moved
TO put them on the free list. His
amendment was lost by a vote of 7
yeas to 81 nays.
How is that for democratic consis-
tency?
1t was simply another disgraceful
surrender by the democrats of the sem
ate to wealthy interests. 1t raises the
question whether the so-called coal
barons' did not. like the sugar trust,
make a contribution to the Cleveland
campaign fund in 1S92.-,roledo Blade.

How to Make an Evaporator.

To make a homemade evaporation,
according to one who has tried it, first
get four strips of board about one inch
thick and three inches wide. Nail these
together in the shape of a box just
large enough to cover the range. Then
take piece of wire screen cloth such
as is used for window screening, just
large enough to cover the box and
come up on the sides about one inch.
then fasten it securely with tacks. At
each corner of the frame make holes
large enough to insert very large wires,
which will answer for legs SO the box
may stand firmly upon the top of the
range. The wires or legs may be just
as long as one wishes. In warm
weather there may be shorter ones
used than in cooler weather when the
fire is hotter; seven inches is about
about right

thorough way and there is no thought
of sleighing under such conditions.
Wide-tired wagons will press the
snow down firmly on the road and
soon make good sleighing.
These roller wagons will improve the
roads instead of destroying them.
Every load which is drawn over the
road will work out n certain amount
of road tax. The cost of repairing the
roads would be greatly reduced. If we
maintain proper side grading toward
the bitches, SO that the water will
easily run into them, and if we rake
the stones onee a year out of the road
the repairing is done.
We have until now always thought
the only way to improve the roads
would be to use telford or macadam
for our country; but few have thought
where :hc root of the evil lies. Let
us above all things first improve
our vehicles. This will be the
proper thing to do And then let us
also push forward to do every
thing in our power that telford and
macadam roads may be constructed
whenever practical throughout our
country. But even these stone roads
are no. able to withstand the abuse
which they have to sustain from mar
row tires as now used on our vehicles.
In Germany, France and Switzerland
the smallest tires are two inches wide,
the widest six inches, and there the
telford and macadam roads are re-
paired all through the year. They
have the very strictest laws concern
ing the roads and everything belong
ing to them, so that they may not be
torn up or spoiled, nevertheless they
have to keep repairing them constantly.
What damage would our wagons do to
those European roads?
Therefore, would it not be the cheap
est, the best, the quickest and most
economical way to reconstruct our
wagons?
BY all means let 1t be tried.-Rev.

Some Interesting Questions and Answer
from an English Journal

Some Interesting Questions and Answers
from an English Journal
The following questions and an
swers are taken from the London
Dairy, and will be of interest to those
who have more than once asked: "Why
is this done?"
Why should the udder of the COW and
the hands of the mixer be made as
clean as possible before milking? To
keep bacteria from getting into the
milk.
Why should the milk be removed
from the stable as soon as possible aft
er milking? To prevent absorption
of any odors of the stable.
Why should milk not be put, at once
after milking, into closely-covered
cans? Because by SO doing odors are
retained in the milk.
Why should milk that is to be set for
cream in covered cans or put into cans
for immediate delivery be aerated? To
remove the animal and other odors
from the milk.
Why should milk be set as soon as
possible? To stop the action of bac-
terra.
Why should the temperature of the
milk be reduced as quickly as possible
for Dreaming? To prevent the forma-
ton and the growth of bacteria.
Why should the milk that is to be
set for cream be agitated no more than
is necessary before setting? Because
agitation favors the formation of
fibrin.
Why should milk pals. pans, cans,
churns and every utensil used in the
dairy be kept most carefully clean?
Solely to keep out bacteria.
Why is cream ripened before churn.
ing? To develop flavor and render
churning easier.
Why should the ripening process of
cream not be allowed to continue too
long? To prevent the development OF
bacteria that produce offensive prod.
ucts, such as bitterness, and destroy
aroma.
Why should a thermometer be used
at every step of the process of making
butter? To be sure the temperature
is the one desired at each stage or di-
vision of the work.
Why does cooling the milk prevent
or retard souring? 1t retards growth
in bacteria.
Why do milk and cream sour less
rapidly in winter than in summer?
There are fewer bacteria in the air
and the temperature is lower.
Why does the ripening of cream
make it churn more easily? The al
luminous matter of cream is rendered
less tenacious.
Why does milk become sour? BAG
terra changes sugar into Tactic acid.
Why should the room in which milk
is set be made perfect in it's sanitary
conditions, such as good ventilation,
cleanliness of floors, wall, ETC., free
dom of bad odors, ETC.? To keep out
undesirable bacteria and keep prod.
ucts free from bad odors.
Why is butter worked? To lessen
the percentage of water and casein.
Why does the presence of casein in
the butter injure it? Itaffords nourish.
ment to bacteria, which causes butter
to decompose.

Frixhtened with Reports.

Published accounts state that some
English purchasers of American ap-
plies became badly frightened by re-
ports that child had been poisoned
by eating American fruit 1t turned
out to be as groundless as the absurd
reports of a year or more ago. The
government had analyses made, and
the government analyst could. find
nothing. A portion of the Baldwin
apple which was asserted to have poi
soned the child was fed to a mouse.
but no effect was produced. A small
mouse, it will be observed, is only a
thousandth part of the weight of a
child, and therefore mouse would de-
tect thousandth part of the poison
which would affect a human being.
The report was probably started to de-
prcss the market of American fruit.
