Dctasscling corn is again a subject for
consideration. Tho process consists in
removing the upper portion of the stalk
to which the spmy of male or pollen
bearing flowers is attached. Several ex
periments have shown that it increases
the crop to remove the tassel from fully
one-half of the stalks before the pollen
is shed. Tho results of some extcusivo
tests madu by the Nebraska Experi
mental Station show the oppesito effect.
There was a uniformly lessened yield
upon the plats when one-half or the
stalks were detassclcd. Similar results
obtained when the tassels were removed
after the pollen had been matured and
scattered. New York World.
rnopKR rnGssuRB in crtEEsR making.
A frequent mistake is to apply too
strong pressure at first to the newly
hooped curd. The pressure should be
gradual, and the snug squeeze only given
after several hours. Tho white whey
tnat starts from a severely pressed curd
is rich in butter fats, which will net ap
pear if the curd is allowed to settle
firmly in tho hoop before strong pressure
is applied. The facts go to show that
the average full cream cheese has parted
with far too much of its fats in press,
vats, drainers and hoops, and is often
found to be a half skim when it reaches
tho consumer. Great hue-and-cry is
raised over the idea that it is commer
cial wisdom to take out a pound of but
ter fat to each hundred pounds of milk,
which tc3ta four and one-half per cent,
fat for cheese making. The cheese is
no betler that has lost that nmount of
fat in manufacture than is another
cheese from which has been skimmed an
equal amount, nnd the balance of the fat
retained by skillful manufacture. A
little care at tho beginning of the opera
tions will always prevent such wastes
and result in a better product. Ameri

A VETERINARY VIEW OF CRUELTY.
The following is the report of a com
mittee appointed by the British National
Veterinary Congress for the purpose of
lurther considering the subject of cruelty
to animals fiom a veterinary point of
view, nnd publishing a declaration in
the name of tho Congress on certain
practices and painful operations on
animals.
Lameness may be painless or painful.
Those cases where the lameness passes
off with exercise are prima facie cases
that are uccoinpuuiid by pain this
specially applies to cases of navicular dis
ease and spavin. In such cases horses
ought not to be worked, and when
worked it is cruelty.
The practice called twitching causes
acute pain and is frequently unjustifi
able. Burning gas for lampas is cruelty.
Knocking out wolf teeth is cruelty.
Extracting temporary teeth save for a
(urgical reasun is cruelty.
Docking and nicking horses are cruel.
Marking and branding animals when
necessary, should be performed by the
quickest and least painful method.
Worming the tail, dooking and crop
ping the cars of dogs are unnecessary and
therefore cruel operations.
Operations of various kinds are fre
quently performed on animals by igno
rant persons, aud much cruelty is causod
thereby, which ought to be publicly dep
recated and preveuted by law. All pain
ful operations not required for the good
of the animal operated on are of a cruel
nature. No operation causing pain to
an animal should be performed by an
unskilful person. All necessary opera
tions ought to bu performed in a scien
tific manner and by the most human
methods, iu order thereby to prevent the
infliction of unnecessary pain. Western

A WIFE OF A DRUNKARD.
How often the happy bride of yeslerdav
finds herself, ore the voice of tne holy prom
ises spoken before God's altar has ceased to
reverberate in her ear, the wife of a drunk
ard 1 For years she leads a life of sorrow and
misery, the horrors of which no one real
ires who has not witnessed them. He has
pledged undying affection, knightly protec
tion; when he comes home from the saloon,
his mouth opens to curse, and his hand rises
to strike. Only alcohol could produce the
hellish scene of a weak, timid, loving wife,
weltering in her blorx), and a brutnl man,
her husband, gloating over the scene! And
the little ones! Is there no spark ot
human feeling left in the drunkard?
No. The tiger of the forest, the
lion of the desert, feed and protect their
young; a drunkard leaves his children to
starve, if he does not in his cruelty hasten
their death. A drunkard's home out side
of hell in all created space, there is no other
such place of despairand agony. The father's
steps approaching it is a signal for the child
to erouch away in some corner. Fear and
misery never permit a emilo to wreath its
lips, its heart to beat; with one joyful sensa
tion. We have known the child to scream
from hunger, and the father would take the
last cent from the house to purchase drink.
We have seen the child laid out in cold
death, and the father still demanded alcohol.
We have met children in rags
roaming the streets o prey to
vice and crime, anil iu reply to our ques
tionings, they would say, father drank and
home was not endurable. We have seen
maidens as pure as snow falling from the
clouds whose hearts had known but the
most innocent affections we have seen them
driven to hideous vice, and, again, the reply
was: I could not Btay at home because father
drank. The home is the fount of happiness,
the guardian of virtue, the sanctuary of re
ligion. Alcohol desecrates and wrecks it.
The burning lava of Vesuvius does not leave

Fathers' Circular.
CLINICAL EXPERIENCE AS TO ALCOHOL.
Pr. Ezra M. Hunt, Sanitary Editor of the
New York Independent, in a recent article,
writing of "Cliuical Experience as to Alco
hol," says:
"While exact clinical experiment and ex
perience now narrows the sphere of alcohol,
it regards it as available iu sudden shock
from injury, chiefly in the form of bypc
dermio injection with digitalis, as also for
temporary use in sudden prostration until
nutrients and other restoratives become pre
ferable in its place, as is quickly the case.
There is a narrow stage of lever and debility
in which alcohol may be available, but it is
to be borne in mind always that the stimu
lant effect is short and apt to be followed
with depression, aud that iU chief effect is
that of a neurotic. Since we have ome to
know the value ot the various peptonoids
and of their combinations with beef, gluten,
milk, aud flavoring oils or condiments there
is far less need for alcoholics. The appetiz
ing effects of wines, etc., result full as
much from flavors, such as ranautbio
ethers developed iu tiieru from the acidity, as
from the alcohol itself. The fattening effect
of beer to some results from the malt, etc.,
which now has an excellent substitute in the
syrupy malt extracts. Alcohol as it comes
to deraugo organs, especially the liver, has
much tne same effect as is produced by a
forcing process upou the livers of geese,
which become abnormal. The more such
geem weigh and the ltter they look, so
much the worse for the geese. No doubt by
the clogging of organs there may be reten
tion of materials and pent-up secretions
which add slightly to the bulk or weight;
but it is only a storago tending to disease,
aud not a storage of health.
"The day is pased when upon dietetic and
mcdiciual grounds there is auy indispen
sable call for the moderate or habitual use
of alcoholic beverages. In the midst of the
various alcohols aud of all the manufac
tured and concocted mixtures which are now
old, as if they were the real and pure
product of the grape or of alcoholic distilla
tion, we have better known tonics aud
nutrients which effectually take their place,
except to those who wish them as pleasure
giving drinks."

I attribute it to the wonderful power of
Warner's Safe Cure. Why, my sister, who

advised her to use this same great remedy;
it cured her promptly."

How Nubnr l'asha Lost Ills Watch.
On the occssion of tho- Empress Ku-
geniu's visit to Cairo in 1809 Nubar
l'asha was presented by Napoleon III.
with a valuablo watch richly set with
diamonds. This watch he was in the
habit of laying beforo him on the table
during the meetings of the council, which
were generally held in tho evening. At
one of the sittings tho electric light sud
denly went out. V hen it. was turned on
again Kubar's watch had disappeared.
The Pasha scrutinize I tho faces of his
colleagues ono after tho other, says the
.National Zcitung, but not one winced
under his ga.c. At length he said :
"Oeutlcmcn, the watch that, accord
ing to my custom, I had laying here be
fore me hns been removed. The door is
locked on the inside, nobody hns entered
the room in the meantime and nobody
has gone out. I attribute the loss of the
watch to a bad joke or a tit of abstrac
tion on the part of one of you gentlemen.
I will now turn nut the light once more,
feeling convinced that when it is turned
on again tho watch will be found in its
usual place."
1 he light was then put out. When it
shone brightly a minute later, not only
was the place where the watch had lain
still vacant, but Nubar's be jeweled ink
stand, a present from Victor Kuiuinnuel,
had also vanished I Nubnr l'asha never
saw these articles again.

Can be counted on
to enro Catarrh t)r. Sage's Catarrh
llomcdy. It's nothing new. For
23 years it has been doing that very
thing. It gives prompt and com
plete relief but you want more
than that. Ami you get it, with
this Remedy there's a euro that
is perfect and permanent. Tho
worst chronic cases, no matter of
how long standing, yield to its
mild, soothing, cleansing and heal
ing properties, " Cold in tho Head "
needs but a few applications. Ca
tarrhal Headache, and all tho
troubles that como from Catarrh,
aro at onco relieved ami cured.
You can count on something else,
too $50Ct in cash.
Yon can count on it, bnt it's
moro than doubtful whether you
earn it.
Tho proprietors of Dr. Sage's
Remedy, in good faith, offer that
amount for an incttrablo case of
Catarrh. Don't think that you
have one, though.
They'll pay you, if they can't
euro you. That's certain.
But they can euro you. That's
just about os certain, too.
Can you ask moro ?
"German
Syrup
99
Judgi? J. H. II'.li., of the Superior
Court, Walker county, Georgia,
thinks enough of German Syrup to
send us voluntarily a strong letter
endorsing it. When men of rank
and education thus use nnd recom
mend an article, what they say Is
worth the attention of the public.
It is above suspicion. " I have used
your German Syrup," lie says, "for
my Coughs and Colds on the Throat
nnd Lungs. I can recommend it for
them as a first-class medicine."
Take no substitute. 4
much as sver. Ho return of pnin in years.
