THE HEREsY OF SOUR SWILL.-One
of the most pestilent heresies we know
of among farmers is the tradition that
swill, whether of milk, or ground feed
or soaked corn, should be soured before
feeding. We do not know how this
tradition originated or by what means
it retains its hold. Acids, to mod
crate extent, have their use in the
animal economy. Occasionally people
like pickles, yet no one cares to use
them as Il regular diet. A very mild
acid, such as that furnished by fruits
meets the wants of the system ir hot
weather, yet no one cares to make a
full meal even of these. Nature feeds
the milk to all the young, sweet and
warm. Why then should the farmer
fill the pigs stomach with sour milk
Viewing it in a sensible and practi'
cal way, what good. comes from this
souring process. Does it add any new
elements to the food? Certainly not
Take milk, for instance: over so parts
oft is water, four fat and the rest
casein and sugar of milk. After the
fat is removed all that has any value
is the casein and sugar Of milk. The
souring process converts the sugar OF
milk into Tactic acid, which, however
valuable as corrective Of an eXces-
sive corn diet, has no food value

AQUEsTIoN OF IMPORT.-He was an
ex-member of the United States army
and was naturally proud of it. His
experiences during the Civil war were
many, aud formed the staple of his
conversation, not only when he had
guests, but in the bosom of his family
As time went on, his adventures grew
in Importance and magnitude, and
there came to be pronounced belief
among his friends that his imaginative
powers were becoming by no means
impaired by advancing years.
Most appreciative of all his listeners
was his youngest son, who night aftel
night delighted to Chamber upon his
fathers knee, with the never-varying
request of "Papa, tell US some more
about what you did in the war;" And
he was always ready to tell the boy
something more and rs the narratives
grew in number, and the parental feats
increased in valor, the boy grew wide
eyed, and proud to think Of the war,
riorlike qualities of his father, until
one night, when the story was told,
the child innocently said, "But, daddy,
dear, couldn't you get anybody to help
you put down that rebellion ?"

WHERE HE DREW THE LINE.

The man who sold windmills adjust

his feet on the railing of the balcony
locked his hands over the top OF his
head, and began:

enjoyed his story so much that when he
left he was richer by three or four

BUTTERMILK A CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

The writer of this article took the
pains to look up the man who claimed
SO much for buttermilk. He proved to
be noted D. D., and hard working
editor in New York city. He told me
that the buttermilk had done wonders
for him. He drank from two to four
quarts every day. Occasionally he ate
small piece of dry bread. Nothing
else passed his lips except the butter
milk. At the end Of the first week
the inflammation of his stomach subsi-
ded and for the first time in many
months he slept all night. At the end
of the fourth week he considered him
self we'll, though he continued to drink
some buttermilk every day. He told
me that while on the buttermllk diet
he was at his desk every day and did
not lose pound. To avoid temptation
he kept away from the table. He also
stated that his physician informed him
that he had cured large number OF
dyspeptics with the same prescription
after everything else had failed. Other
physicians of his acquaintance had
resorted to the same "heroic" treat
went with like results. He mentioned
the fact that number of prominent
physicians in Brooklyn had their pa
tients who were troubled with a low
fever every day (occasioned mostly by
weak stomachs) Oh the bultermilk diet
with splendid results. Since the above
conversation I have heard Of number
Of dyspepsics who have been helped
and cured on the same line. | have
tried it myself and speak with conf
dence. Patients who have excess OF
acid in their systems may not he bene-
fitted by their use, but the great ma
iority who are troubled with ordinary
dyspepsia, torpid liver, and consequent
"biliousness" will be greatly helped if
not cured.
The philosophy is simple. While but
termilk is inferior to skinned milk in
nutritive properties, il is still a valua-
Bile article of food. 1t is already soured
and in a partially digested condition
so that the stomach has little to do in
taking care of it. Besides this it fur
nishes its own ''juices" in large meas
ure 50 that the digestive apparatus Is
excused from much of the trouble.
In a word, the Tactic acid seems to
meet want. AS food and medicine
it is within the reach of all.

G9" An ingenious method for keep
ing fruit cool in rail transportation has
been patented. The car is built ot
framework, covered with burlap, and
is kept damp by water from a tank at
the top Of the car. The draught caus-
ed by the moving train heightens evap-
oralion, which by its cooling effect
keeps the fruit at 1he normal tenpera-
lure, neither too hot nor too cold. In
this way, it is claimed none of the
flavor Of the fruit is last.

Victor Joyeau Courted Eternity
 Through the Morphine Route.
 Victor Joyeau is we'll known man. ufacturing jeweler, who has resided in Phoenix for a dozen years. A few months ago he lost an eye through a chip from an emery wheel st which he was working. The sight Of the second eye has since been failing ard the old man has frequently of late threatened self destruction. Yesterday be made an attempt 10 make good his words. Procuring twenty-five cents worth of morphine at local drug store, he went to his room in the alley back of Al bright & Getz's stables, and swallowed nearly every particle of the poison.
 He was soon found by neighbors in spasms, though still conscious and with sudden strong desire 10 retain his grip on life. Dr. Wharton's assistance was hurriedlv secured, and by means of some drastic old fashioned emetics Joyeau gave up not the ghost but the poison and everything loose in his in- terior anatomy. The physician worked over the man for several hours, and his life is probably saved, yet Joyesu is not of the most robust constitution andlthe morphine may have permeated his sys- tenn before medical aid arrived.
