Harness Backing.

A good cheap backing for harness,
which is to be applied with a sponge
and polished with brush, is prepared
as follows: Melt four ounces of NUT
ton suet with twelve ounces of bees
wax, then add twelve ounces of sugar
candy, four ounces of soft soap dis
solved in little water, and two ounces
of finely powdered indigo. This, when
well mixed, is thinned out with one
half pint of turpentine. Frequent APP
plications of this mixture will render
the harness waterproof and greatly in
crease its durability.

meat. He gave the hens nothing but

instilled the disease, he then undertook
to drive out the uric acid by administer

Fodder is not by-product, but one of

But for the fodder there would be no
profit in corn, as it is the crop that de-

careful farmer when the fodder is left

the fodder to go to waste. Procure

There is a movement OH foot which
will result in the erection Of a com
modious Methodist Episcopal church
on plot OF ground in the Round
Woods tract and the abandonment OF
the Hampton Street Methodist Ep!scO-
pal church. For some time there have
been requests for the erection of a
Methodist Episcopal church at Lincoln
Heights and the need of such a struct-
ure is so manifest that an offer OF
land was made.
After considering the matter In all
of it's bearings it was decided that the
wisest course to pursue would be to
move the church home of the Hampton
street congregation out to the city line
and thus accommodate the people re-
siding in that rapidly growing part oe
the city.
The owners of the Round Woods
plot have offered plot of ground and
it II more than probable that within
year a church building of suitable
size will be erected. If this program
IL carried out the Hampton Street
church will be placed on the market,

II would be inadvisable to have two
