This offer, it was said, was made by parlies who desire to take it off the market and stop its sale, because of its in jury to the tobncco business. Mr. 11. L. Kramer, general manager of the No-To-Rae business, was interviewed at his office, 45 Randolph street, and when questioned promptly said : "No, sir ; No-To-Bac is not for saletothe tobacco trust. We just refused a half mil'- ion from other parties for our business. Certainly No-To-Bac affectsthetobacco bus'- ness. It will cure over a half million people in 1H94, at an average saving of *SO, which oaeh would otherwise expend for tobacjo, amounting in round figures to #25.000.000. Of course, tobncco manufacturers' and deal ers' loss is the gain of the party taking No- To-Bac. Does No-To-Bac benefit physically? Yes, sir. The majority of our patients re port an immediate gain in flesh, and their nicotino saturated systems are cleansed and made vigorous. How is No-To-Bac sold? Principally through our traveling agents. We employ over a thousand. It is also sold by druggists, wholesale and retail, through out the United States and Canada. How are patients assured that No-To-Bac will affect a cure in their case?

As a good deal of misconception ex ists as to what constitutes a true Shet land pony, we give the following de scription of the little animal by Sir Walter Gilbey, the eminent breeder of and authority on horses: "The height of the pure Shetland is about ten hands (forty inches), and this size may be taken as a fair average, although many exceed this standard, and numbers are as small as nine hands ; some even may be found measuring not more than eight hands or thirty-two inches. "The Shetland pony is docile, easily trained to domestic use when kindly treated, and being hardy and muscu lar, is capable of enduring much drudgery. Having good feet it is surefooted when climbing mountains, at the same time sagacious in making its way through swamps and bogs. "It varies in color from bay, brown and dun to dullish black, and some time these colors are mixed with white, •while a few specimens may be found ■which are pure white or piebald. Added to this these ponies have coats of long hair, which becomes thicker and gets matted upon them during tho cool and boisterous weather."— Farm, Field and Fireside.

HOW TO FATTEN ron.TRY. All experiment has lately been tried of feeding geese with turnips, cut in small pieces like dioe, but less in tize, and put into a trough of water; with this food alone the effect was, that six geese, each when lean, weighing only nine pound, actually gained twenty pound each in about three weeks' fat tening. Malt is an excellent food for geese and turkeys; grains are pre ferred for the sake of economy, unless for immediate and rapid fattening; the grains should be boiled afresh. Other cheap articles for fattening are oatmeal and treacle, barley meal and milk, boiled oats and ground malt. Corn before given to fowls should always be crushed and soaked in water. The food will thus go further, and it will help digestion. Hens fed thus have been known to lay during the whole of the winter months.—Home and Farm. DESTRUCTION OF INSECTS AND WEEDS. A writer in the Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales says the crickets were very numerous in his orchard a few years ago, but he turned in about 150 pigs, mostly young ones, that quickly attacked the crickets and their larvse, and completely exterminated them, and rapidly grew fat by feeding upon them. Those who have fields infested by these or by the cut worm will do well to bear this in mind. He tried to kill it out by hoeing, but his efforts proved a failure, tending rather to increase its growth. Then he en closed a part of it and put on about 200 fowl, feeding them on corn night and morning for a few days, then re moving them to a new location. He says, "Nothing but the humble, lowly but cheerful grass could withstand the continual lienpeoking." Many other weeds might bo destroyed in this way, though some might require more than "afew days' " treatment. —Boston Cul tivator. THE CABBAGE WORM. The imported cabbage worm appears to be a pest rather difficult to control, owing to the fact that tho butterflies remain about from early in spring un til late in fall, or, in other words, there is an almost uninterrupted succession of broods throughout the entire sea son. Of all the insecticides that have been tried for destroying the worms, hot water, pyrethrum, or buhach, and kerosene emulsion seems to be the most effective, and, withal, probably tho cheapest. If the first ia used, dust the plants thoroughly as soon as the small worms appear on them, and re peat the application as often as may be necessary throughout the summer. If kerosene emulsion is employed, it may be diluted moro than when ap plied to trees for destroying scale pests, on trees, that is, make it about one lialf the strength given in the standard formula, and spray the plants, as often as required to keep them free of worms.—American Agriculturist. SAIJT MAKES MILK. Experiments have recently been made to ascertain whether the giving of salt to dairy cows has any direct bearing on the supply of milk, and the results have been of a character which will be surprising to many who attach little importance to providing salt for their cattle, says the Journal of Agriculture. Salt they must have in some form or another, and if it is supplied to them in suitable quantities and ways they will take suficient and no more for their own benefit. For about a month, from June 20 to July 18, last year, three cows were kept without salt; and the milk from each weighed twice daily from the 4th to the 18th of July, when they gave 454 pounds. From July 18 to August 1 the same cows received four ounces of salt each, and during that time the milk showed an increase of 100 pounds, the weight being 564 pounds. From this experiment it appears that there was a considerable gain, which would pay adit irably any one to keep his stock well supplied with salt, and it may also be added as another good custom to follow to keep plenty of fresh water where it can be always ac cessible. PASTURE FOR SWINK. In the feeding experiments at the Utah station, by A. A. Mills, those pigs which were allowed to roam at will over eighteen acres of good pas ture, and were fed all the grain they would eat, made the most rapid growth and apparently made the best uso of food. Those pigs which were fed grass and grain in a small yard made a more rapid growth than those fed grain alone, and seemed to make a slightly better use of the food eaten. In both these sets of grass-fed pigs there was an increase in food consumed, appar ently sufficient to account for the more rapid growth and the more economi cal use of food, so that green grass ap pears to be of greatest value as an ap petizer. The pigs kept on grass alone made so slow n growth that it would have required two seasons to reach maturity, thus making the profits ex ceedingly doubtful. The pigs kept in a movable pen on pasture ate within a few pounds as much grain as did those in a yard without grass, but did hot make ns good use of the grain. The experiments indicate that in order to hnvo rapid and economical growth e v ercise seems to be necessary for in creasing the food consumption, and probably stimulating digestion.— American Agriculturist. "Ill: Or.l) STRAWBERRY BKl>. \s :• tfcp.ural rule, says the Massa chusetts it is no doubt mori profitable t>> stt new strawberry beds e\erv spring and to plow under the old bide after bearing one crop. But where no fresh plants have been putin, it is u question of renovate or Ho berries.

If such natural strawberry soils aro set to a variety which makes compar atively few runners, like tho Charles Downing or Babach, a bed can be made to last two years, and we have known a bed of Downings six years old to bear a big lot of fruit, although the berries ran decidedly small. On moist, loamy soils, naturally prime grass lands, it is very difficult to do anything with an old berry patch. Still, the writer saw a good-sized bed of Bubachs near Boston recently which were bearing a good second crop on just such laud. The owner had mulched the rows thickly just before tho first crop, and as the ground had been thoroughly weeded, and contained no grass roots, it remained pretty clean, although no further work was done upon it. This season it had become rather grassy among the plants, yet not so much so but that plenty of good big berries were gathered. Very few old beds are in such good shape as was this one. Some growers practise mowing and burning over the bed right after the last picking. The burning destroys blight, insects and some kinds of weeds, but the straw berry plants will start again with vigorous green leaves. Then a ridge is plowed up in the centre between the rows, plowing from the rows so as to leave a strip of plants about a foot wide, with a gutter on each side. Next take a sharp hoe, or better, a wide-bladed mattock or bog hoe, and clean out the weeds and grass in the rows of plants left. Afterward culti vate the ridge until the gutters are filled and the field is level. Apply plenty of fertilizer or any manure without weed seeds. The plants will spread somewhat into tho fresh ground, and with frequent hoeings till freezing time, a fair crop may be ex pected next year. FARM AVI) GARDEN NOTES. Ripening cream well before churn ing develops flavor and lenders churn ing easier. Embden, White China, and Tou louse are among the best breeds of geese to raise. No ventilation is as injurious to poultry as draughts; pure air is es sential to health. In case of fire in stables, put a sad dle on your horse and you can lead him out without difficulty. Bones placed in fresh horse manure soon soften and crumble, and soon be come ready for plant food. When poultry diarrhoea is caused by cold or damp quarters no internal treatment will cause a cure. Eggs for hatching should bo gath ered daily, handled carofully, and stored in a cool, dry place. With Brahinas, especially, better re sults are secured by limiting the num ber of hens to the roosters. As young chickens have very small crops thoy need feeding every two or three hours during the day. Morphine given to mares when in milk poisons the latter and may cause the death of the suckling foal. Horses are very fond of sugar, and very frequently a lump of it would be found much better than the whip. Give the poultry a good range when poss ble ; the coop and surroundings get tiresome when confined too closely. In molding butter scald the mold first and then dip the print into cold water. The butter then comes out in nice firm cakes. Grade the dressed poultry before sending to market; a strictly choice article brings the top prices, but an inferior article never does. Good feed and care will improve com mon stock, but the surer and quicker Vay is to introduce new and better | blood. Try a combination of the two : methods. As soon ar. the colts in pasture be- I gin to fall oft in flesh from fighting j flies, place them in darkened stables I during the day and allow them to run I out at night. Some one has said : "The shepherds I who raise free wool on one side of the ' fence and dogs on the other are j bound to make a fuss, and who can ! blame them." Geese do not arrive at maturity un ' til their third year, but are long lived. When full-grown, geese will ; weigh from twelve to eighteen pounds j when dressed. i The man who allows his farm ma | chinery when not in use, to stand in the sun and rain is losing money fast, j Have nn implement house large enough | to drive into. The proper time to cut clover is when the heads are all in blossom. If j out too early it is watery and if left t until the heads are brown the second | growth will be checked. The effort to obtain a good yield i from a run-down farm, and to im prove its condition at the same time, will prove a failure. First buildup; ! the good crops will come in their own good time. Where farmers permit fowls to shift | for themselves they are often a nuis | auee. Such men are right in declar ing that poultry don't pay. It is a self-evident fact, so far as they are j concerned. Good crops grown from the land, fed to good stock upon the land, and t lie bv-products returned to the land with due care, will make better land, ) bigger crops and enable the feeding of more stock. The dairy fanner finds that the in tensive system of culture which he must follow enables him to improve the fertility of his soil so that he can ' raise larger crops aud get better re turns from his laud than he could be- I fore.

It is best, if you have half a dozen cups to (ill, to pour just a little in each one, filling the last one quite full, then returning fill th& ttext one and so on; you will then servo all alike. If you pour each one full as you go the first c ue served will get si Op and the last one lye. Ne.ther is palatable. The Japanese under stand this better than we do, and both they and the Chinese serve tea by put ting a few grains in each cup and pouring the boiling water on that.

The so-called washing gloves are an excellent choice for utility purposes all summer, as they cm be cleane I once and again by washing them in water that is more than warm, but not scalding hot, using a piece of pure white soap in the process. It is best to wash them upon the hands, as the chamois is less likely to shrink in dry ing. AVash and then rinse in clear water and dry by rubbing with a Turkish or other soft, rough towel. For kid gloves of light color that ara but slightly soiled, but not stained, there is no better mode ot freshening than to wind a bit of oiled silk around the finger, rubbing vigorously to re move all traces of the mark. Any woman who tests this easy way of cleaning kid glove 3 will be sure to keep thereafter a strip of silk in her possession. A quarter or even an eighth of a yard is enough to purchase at once, as in fancy drygoods houses, where it is sold, it is kept moist in a large roll and is thus very pliable. Moisten the silk, however, when using. —Brooklyn Citizen. QUICK DRYING FOR SILKS. Quick drying is thj best method for silk garments. An authority on this subject says: "Keep on hand a dozen bits of steel nu inch and a quarter square and eighteen inches long. Ex actly midway screw in a good-sized hook. In use, hang a shirt or pair of drawers over a strip, aud button the neck or waistband, then catch the hook over your line. Pull the gar ment in shape, aud leave it to dry. The hooks need not be more than six inches apart on the line, thusenabling you to dry half a dozen gar nents in i less space than is otherwise required for one. Also, by the use of these strips aud hooks, it is possible to dry each garment in shape aud to avoid the wrinkles that it is next to impos sible to iron out of wool or silk with out injury to the fabric. White silk underwear needs just the same treat ment, with the addition of bluing and a little liquid gum arabic to the last rinsing water."—New York World. PROTECTION AGAINST MOTHS. The funes of burning camphor gum or sulphur will suffocate moth millers. It is a very disagreeable oper ation, but is so effective that any room where they are known to be should be fumigated at once. To do this with entire success remove the contents of trunks and wardrobes and haug 011 the backs of chairs; close doors and windows; set a pailful of water in the middle of the room at a safe distance frohi all the hangings and furniture; in this place a small iron pot half tilled with ashes and camphor ; for a room fifteen by eight een use a piece as large as a walnut; saturate with alcohol and set the cam phor on fire. It will burn fiercely at first, but if proper precautious are observed there is no danger ; leave the room as soon as you are satisfied that your furniture is in no danger of tak ing fire; allow the mass to burn itself out, which it will do in half an hour; open the win lows and doors for an hour. Moths prefer soiled to cleau garments. The first step toward the safety of garments before putting them away is to turn the pockets in side out, beat all dust, saturate aud clean with benzine if necessary. Allow the clothes to hang in the sunlight for several hours. Moths hate the light. They work in the dark. Bags of var ious sizes made of seersucker and stitched with double seams are safer recepticles of clothing than trunks, and are fully equal to expensive cedar chests. —Philadelphia liecord. lIECIPES.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. y trmsiiw ineir rnou^iu*. When on August 10, 1792, the Jaco bins dictated their terms at Paris for a national convention, Lafayette, who was in command of tho army of the frontier, and several of his generalo fii cers quitted the Froach army in disgust. They were seized by the King of Prus sia, from his custody transferred to that of Austria, and long confined in the castle of Olmutz in Moravia. Al though each of the prisoners was kept solitary, yet their apartments were so arranged that they were all within hearing of each other when standing at the windows of their respective chambers. To improve this advantage they thought of the following ulan: There was at Paris a number of tunes called airs of the Pont Neuf, or those popular ballads that were sung at the corners of the streets and other pub lic places. The words belonging to these airs wero so well known that to strike up a few of the notes was to re call to memory tho words that accom panied them. By this means the cap tives at Olmutz gradually composed for themselves a vocabulary by whis tling these notes at their windows, and this vocabulary after a short time became so complete and even compre hensive that even two or three notes from each formed their alphabet and eflected their intercourse. By this means they communicated news to each other concerning their families, the progress of tho war, etc., and when, by good fortune one of them bad procured a gazette he whistled tho contents of it to liis partners in captivity. The commandant of tho fortress WHS constantly informed of these unaccountable concerts. Ho listened, he set spies, but the whole thing being a language of convention tho most practised magician would have failed in detecting tho intention and real expression of the notes heard. —Chicago News. _ Makes hard water soft / I —Pearline.

Tho umbrella magnolia of Ceylon bears leaves that are so large that a single ouo may sometimes serve as a shelter for fifteen or twenty persons. One of these leaves carried to Englan I as a specimen was nearly thirty-six feet in width. When the petals of tho great aurel magnolia are touched, however lightly, the result is a brown spot, which develops in a few hours. This fact is taken advantage of by a lover, who pulls a magnolia flower, and on one o£ its pure white petals writes a motto or message with a hard, sharp pointed pencil. Then he sends tho flower, the young lady puts it in a vase of water and in thiee or four hours the message written on the leaf becomes visible and remains so.— San Francisco Chronicle. Missouri is credited with 127 civil ized Indians; Illinois with ninety se7en. SAVE DOCTOR'S BILLS by paying attention to properly repulating the bowels thereby preventing a thousand anil one derangements of the system which follow neglect of this precaution.

I lived a month without solid food and when I tried to eat I would vomit.
