Yoit can't judge of the quality of a book by the binding,
nor tell the contents by the tilie. You look for the name
of the author before you buy the book. The name of
Robert Louis Stevenson (for instance) on the back guar
antees the inside of the book, whatever the outside may be.
There's a parallel between books and bottles. The
binding, or wrapper, of a bottle is r.o guide to the quality
of the medicine the bottle contains. The title on the Lot
tie is no warrant for confidence in the contents. It all
depends on the author's name. Never mind who made the
bottle. Who made the medicin - ? That's the question.
Think of this when buying Karsaparilla. It isn't the
binding of the bottle or the name of the medicine that
you're to go by. That's only printer's ink and paper ! The
question is, who made the medicine? What's the author's
name ? When you see Ayer's name on a Sarsaparilla bot
titr, that's enough. The name Ayer guarantees the best,
and has done so for 50 years.

the germicide corrosive siibiimate used

TRPATMENT OF FROZEN TLANTS.
."When the days begin to lengthen,
the cold begins to strengthen," is an
old weatherwise saying which is so
true that often the window plants
which have come through Pecember
unscathed will be frozen in Januarr,
writes "d. C." When one rises in the
morning to find them in such plight
making np the fire and warming tho
room as soon as possible will bo fatal
to all but the most hardy. On the
other baud, if they are removed to a
closet or the cellar and allowed to
thaw gradually in the dark, many of
them will be injured very little. 1
have frequently had geraniums come
through the ordeal none the worst) for
it. Matiy persous cut the plauts dowu
at once, when they have been trotted,
but this is not necessary with geran
iums or shrubby plauts, as they will
usually put forth new leaves in a thort
time.
Begonias thrive better than most
plants in the warm air of the sitting
room, and hence are favorite plants
for tho w indow garden, but they aro
very susceptible to frost. A few va
rieties, the Vernon -and Weltoniensis
among them, will sprout np from the
roots after being frozen down, but my
experience with other kiuds has been
that it is neeless to try to save them in
such a case.
Last winter I had hyacinths in full
bloom frozeu one very cold night.
The hyacinth before it flowers will
bear considerable freezing, but it
seemed scarcely possible to save the
waxen bells of the flower spike. How
ever, they went into the woodbox as
soon as its contents had been emptied
into the stove. A covering thick
enongb to exclude the Jight, and also
the air for some time, was thrown over
it. After some hours I peeped in.
They had thawed, but the spikes were
drooping sadly. They were allowed
to remain in the dark all day, and by
the next morning scarcely showed the
effects of the cold. As a precaution
against freezing it is well to water
sparingly in very cold weather. The
few "green things growing" kept iu
the windows brighten tho home so
much in winter that it is always a pity
to lose them. New York Tribune.
CARK OF THE COW3.
Have you ever watched your cows
ou a bitter cold day sneak slowly up
to the water trough where you have
broken the ice and stick her tongue in
the cold water several times until she
got used to it, then take a little sip
and a little more until she could stand
no more of it. Then she will walk
slowly over the frozen ground until
she gets in the shelter o an old
wagon, aud there with her back
humped up she will stand fur two or
three hours shivering until what feed
she hap eaten has had time to warm
that water up to a living temperature?
How long ought it to take a sensible
man to find out where all of his feed is
going, no matter whether it is a milk
cow or a dry one. Nearly every pound
she eats is needed to warm that water,
aud little is left to repair the body,
much Its to make milk or fat of. TLie

will cost uot over ten cents a day t

Homo and Farm.
IWiKlAflON OF GARDENS,
The importance of irrigation of gar
dens and farm lands is a matter of
rapidly increasing interest to those
coueerned. Irrigation has been some
what of A bugbear to farmers always,
the idea being that it required costly
works and much labor to accomplish
it, and it has always been associated
with the utmost aridity of climate and
toilsome cultivation of tho sail. But
If there are ia existence any districts
where more than iu others the profits
of the farm are greater, and the ease
of cultivation greater, too, with tho
certainty of maximum crops also
greater, they are the irrigated dis
tricts of the far East. Indeed, some
of tho causes of the depression in East
ern farming is due to the less cost of
growing crops under irrigation, and
the ability of the farmers to sell tho
products of their farms at alow prioe,
such as other farmers cannot aflord to
take. In fact, the time has come when
irrigation must be made a practice
wherever the water is available for it.
For it is one of the laws of vegetable
growth that this ia in proportion to
the quantity of water in the soil.
But it is in the growth of crass that
the application of water to the land
may be made the more profitable with
the least trouble. The myriads of
rivers aud streams that now through
this broad land down to the oceau
may all bo impounded and made to
work for the farmer without cost, ex
cept for the permanent works re
quired; and some of these need only
be of the simplest kind. Here low
banks thrown up by the plow, or
otherwise by the horse scraper, will re
tain the water of a stream rhen it is
high, while it deposits its load of dis
solved or suspended matters to add to
the bulk of the low lands along its
banks, aud to increase the stock of
plant food in it. The water thus flows
iu at the higher end of the embank
ment and, slowly moving down to the
lower part of the Btreara, gives up its
load to the greedy soil, and hasteuson
to the next farm, where it takes with
it its newiy gathered spoils, leaviug
them behind as it goes on and ou
toward its final goal, tho great ocean.
Lands thus embauked are quite
common all over Europe, and are so
productive of grass and the related
crops all used for feeding as to pay
the interest on a value of 81000 or
2000 an acre. If the irrigated lands
of the great West have lowered the
value of the Eastern farms, why should
not these take the same method of
cheapening their products, while the
quantity is increased, and so restore
the old values to tbem? Irrigation,
wherever it is possible, is one way to
effect this improvement. New York
Times.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Dairymen should always remember
it is dangerous to use the milk from a
sick cow.
Get a good churn. They are plenty
nnd cheap. Time is too precious to
waste over a poor churn.
If milk is properly pasteurized
there is no cooked flavor present such
as is noted iu (sterilized milk.
In manipulating butter, never allow
the handu to come in contact with it
as their warmth melts and injures the
grain.
As the conclusion ot various exper
iments, the cost of keeping a dairy
cow, without roots or silage, is put at
U.'35 a year.
Young trees should be cultivated for
some years after planting, as this ia an
essential condition of their making a
vigorous growth.
Now is a good time to out out all
useless, weak, or spindling wood in
tho orchard. A twig that can be cut
with a knife now may require a saw
next year.
It is important that the oow should
be given a smooth surface for lying
down. Dry bedding should be pro
vided and cold drafts of air excluded
from the table.
When packing apples for market
preserve uuiformity iu size as much
as possible. Select the largest and
finest to form an extra fine quality to
sell at a fancy price.
Trees which are heeled in during the
winter should uot be cotered with hay
or straw, us suoh material draws mice
and other rodents, which gnaw the
young trees and destroy them.
The colder apples are kept without
freezing the better. They will eudure
a much lower temperature than will
potatoes, but when stored in a cellar,
; guod ventilation is necessary and as
I even a temperature as possible,
j All young hogs iu the orchard should
1 be left uuringed aud free to root the
coil as much as they like. Hinging
' older hogs is sometimes necessary, as
; iu a dry time old sows will get in the
habit, if unringed, of gnawingthe bark
' of the trees and thug causing irrepar
able injury.
j The appearance of moss on apple
trees shows that there is an excess of
w ater iu the soil. The laud should be
drained for orchards as for other crops.
.S::ii,'uaiit water is of no banefit. A
svsieiu of iiU'lerdraiuing should be
employed, so that tho subsoil will hold
inure moisture .or tho use of the roots.
Every farmer should teach bis boys
the art of buddiug aud grafting.
Viu-iety and quality of fruits iu a small
orchard may 00 greatly improved by
judicious iJudditiLr, aud sueh work may
lid niiii.e a pustnuu whieu will a id in
terest to liirin life aud also increase

English clergyman 11 11. 1 reform leader, on
being asked recently, "Which produeesmoro
crime, do you thin'i driuk or gambling?"
replied: "Driuk, undoubtedly. Gambling is
au increaxiug plaguo among men, und also
among women. But it is not a uotlee.ibio
cause of crime among women, though I be
lieve It will bn. At present erlmes through
gambling aro chiefly coiillnod to certain
ola.siw such ns clerks and postoflk'a men.
But drink counts for every form ot crime
suicide stealing, murder. Iu Englnu 1 and
Wales iirty per cent, ot crime is directly, and
Iweiity-llve per ceut. Indirectly, attribute I to
Intemperance, which is slightly decreasing
among men, but largely increasing among
women of all classes. Other chief causes of
crime are the absence of direct moral teach
ing in schools. Sabbath-schools, and from
the pulpit; the lovo of luxury and lluery and
the absence of a cumulative, or progressive
system of puuishment for the Bamn olt-Micns.
Poverty is to a very small exteut tho cause
of crime."
TUB MOTHEB OF VICE.
It Is a significant fact that thn following
denunciation of the liquor tralllo should
come from the "greatest newspaper iu thu
world" the London Tunes:
"It would be impossible to find anything
which stauds for so much loss to soul, body
nud estate as lha publio bouse. Even if wo
accept the best ease that cau be made for it
in priuciplo, tun-fact Is it is still a huge uul
snnce and misery, there is uot a vice or dis
ease or a disorder or a calamity of any kind
that has not its frequent risa in the public
house. The publlu houso degrudds, ruins
and brutalir.es a lurgo proportion ot the Brit
ish people."

The general belief among; i

inherited. But the belief
is becoming stronger that
the tendency to consump- z

to child. If there has r
been consumption in the
family, each member U
should take special care it
to prepare the system ij
