Qneetfonii Often Asked.
Q. What is Alabastmt''
A. Alabastine is a durable coating for
walls and ceilings.
Q. Is it the same askalsominesf
A. It is entirely different from all other
preparations on the market.
Q. Wherein does it differ from these kal
somines on the market? _
A. It is made from a cement that goes
through a process of setting on the wall, and
((Tows harder with »K e - ,
Q. What are kalsmnines made from?
A. From whitings. <lialks, clays or other
inert powders for a base, and are entirely
dependent upon glue to hold them on the
wall.
Q. Why do kalsomines rub and scale?
A. Because the glue, being animal matter,
decays in a short time by exposure to air
and moisture, and th o binding r ialities of
the material are then gone.
Q. Does the Alabastino contain any in
jurious substance? . ,
A. Alabastino has been most carefully
tested, and is recommended by leading sani
tarians throughout the country, on account
of its sanitary nature.
Q. What has the same investigation
shown regarding wall paper?
A. Sanitarians condemn, in strong terms,
the use of wall paper for walls of living
rooms, on account of the poison used in its
manufacture.
Q. Can anything but plain work be done
with Alabastine?
A. Any kind of work, from plain tinting
to the most elaborato decorating can be
done.
Q. How can I learn to <lo this work and
decorate ray house?
A. By writing the Alabastine Company,
Grand Rapids, Mich., for book of instruc
tions and suggestions, and illustration ol
stencils; also showing six sets of tinted wall
designs, gent free.

CARROTS VOR HORSES.
Nothing is better for horses io winter
than carrots. They help to regulate the
bowels, make the coat shiny, and keep
the horses in good condition. They seem
to possess qualities which no other root
or vegetable has. Two or three every
cay, or every other day, is all that is
necessary to feed. Plant a quarter or
half an acre, or more, and put the rows
wide,enough to allow of cultivation with
a horse.—American Agriculturist.
MICH GROUND FOR EARLY POTATOES.
A rich, deep and dry soil is necessary
to grow early potatoes. We say dry, be
cause the sets must be planted early, and
if -wet and cold they will rot rather than
grow. This rich, deep soil, that is dry
early spring, will be all the moister dur
ing the droughts of summer. If the
potato tops cau be kept green a week
longer on one piece than another, it means
doubling the crop of marketable tubers.
A few days' extra growth means making
the large tubers larger, and briuging
those that would have been fit only for
pig feed to marketable size. The crop
should have some fermented stable
manure to give the plants an early send
off. It will not cause early potatoes to
rot, though it may with the late crop.—
Boston Cultivator.
DEHORNING LEGALIZED.
Many writers against the practice, now
becoming common, of cutting the horns
off, ''point with pride" to tho very fool
ish decisions of the English courts on
this point a few years since. Most, .if
not all, of those judgments have been re
versed, and now tho National Federation
of Butchers and Meat Trade Association,
assembled at Liverpool, resolved as fol
lows. "That this Federation is in favor
of dishorning being legalized as a means
of preventing injury to cattle in transit."
No doubt Parliament will soon pass a
law legalizing the practice, though all the
good such a law could do would be to
put the burden of proof on the person
who makes the complaint. Now it is
necessary for the defeudant to prove in
each case that tho dehorning does not
cause unnecessary pain. The crauks arc
getting tired of sympathizing with the
vicious brutes that uso horn, while for
getting the innocent creature that gets
gored. This is a good sign, and wc may
all hope soon to see the last of dangerous
cimeturs on the heads of cows and bulls.
—American Dairyman.
IMPROVEMENT OK POOR LAND.
The use of green crops for the improve
ment of poor land is not so easy as is
commonly thought. Green mauure is
most effective on good lnnd, aud for the
purpose of n ai itaining its fertility, rather
than of rca'.o. ing it when this has been
lost. The crop to be plowed uuder, of
course, adds nothing to the land that has
not been taken from it. But it is very
rare that any land is so impoverished thut
a thorough plowing and a dressing of
lime tv ill not bring some crop that may
he turned under with benefit. It might
be "suggested that such land bo plowed
two iurthes deeper than it has boon pre
viously, Nad given a dressing of twenty
five or thirty bushels of limo to the acre.
Then sow with buckwheat m June, using
one-half bushel of seed per Then
sow one peck of clover seed per acre and
harrow it lightly with a brush harrow or
a plank drag. This covering of the seed
secures it against a spell of dry weather
that might occur.
Tho buckwheat is harvested in tho
usual manner, aud the clover will make
a sufficient growth togo through the
winter safely. The next year a crop of
hay is taken, and the second growth is
left on the land, to be turned uuder for
corn the next year. When the coru is
laid by tho land is sown with clover again,
and tho seed is covered in by a light V
shaped hsnow run through the rows.
The corn is worked level, so that the
seeding may be as even as possible. This
alternation may be made once more, wheu
the second growth of the clover is turned
under for wheat, aud 200 pounds of
superphosphate of limo may be applied
per acre. By proceeding in this way
and plowing deeply the land may lie
much improved iu a few years.—New
York Times.
KYK AS A riHEICN MANI'IIE.
Wheu 1 bought my present farm of
sixty-five acres in the fail of the year,
writes Joseph Hiuith of Michigan, I I
found it iu a badly run-down condition. '
Not one acre of meadow was on the :
place, and the tenant declared that it was
too poor to raise clover. 1 commenced ,

ground down level and sowed to rye to
plow down for corn or millet for fodder,
taking oil in time to prepare for wheat to
be seeded down the following spring to
clover. Sometimes I plant potatoes on
every third furrow when plowing down
the rye, and if it should be a dry season
the potato crop will crow right along as
the rye seems to retain the moisture. I
have had potatoes thus planted that were
green and flourishing weeks after all or
dinary tender vegetation was blackened
by the frost. In digging potatoes so
planted, it is better to plow them out.
It is enough to make a man enthusiastic
to see the clean crop of tubers lying in a
rich bed of decomposed vegetation.
This plan of enriching the farm may be
carried into the garden patch,taking off
squash and other vegetables,and sowing
to rye to plow down for the snmo kind
of crops the following season. No mat

it will come all right in the spring, and
only be a few days behind the earlier
sown crop.—Ameiican Agriculturist.

It is a very foolish error to suppose

The great size and extra egg-produc

result of years of judicious breeding

HOW TO MAKE STEAK TENDER.
The tenderness of steaks depends
upon two things. First, the excellence
of the meat; second, the length of timo
that it has been kept at the butcher's.
The very tender steaks prepared in
French restaurants are treated with vine
gar as follows: Put on a platter three or
four tablespoonfuls of salad oil, or just
enough to cover the bottom of the plat
ter. Upon this pour one-half as much
vinegar as you have oil. Lay the steak
upon this. Let it remain in a cool
place three or four hours beforo dinner,
turning it every half hour until time to
broil or fry. If it be intended for
breakfast putin the oil and the vinegar
about six o'clock in the evening; turn
it over at bedtime and early in the
morning before rising.—New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
CURING MEAT.
There are many ways of curing meat
and also of keeping out skippers; it is
difficult to say which is tho best. To
sugar cure use eight pound) of brown
sugar, five pounds of tine salt and one
and one-half pounds of saltpetro. This
should be the proportion, using enough
to rub all over the meat thoroughly.
Let it lie live days, then take up and rub
again, and repeat this the third time,
adding a small quautity of ground black
pepper. The rubbing must be thor
ough. The meat may be pickled by
using brine made in the samo way; boil
and skim it well before pouring over the
meat. To canvas take down the meat
after smoking, wrap with heavy paper,
then wrap the second time and cover
with heavy sheeting, sewiug it on in or
der to make it fit closely. Make a paste
of flour and water aud let it stand until
it ROUH, add some chrome yellow in
water aud mix with the paste and paint
over the cloth or dip into it and hang up
to dry. Some use creosote in curing and
smoking to keep out tho flies; others
pack the meat in charcoal, which is one
of the best plans that can be followed,as
after smoking it will keep the meat clean
and sweet. Whatever plan is followed
the smoking must be done and the meat
taken down and packed away before the
flies make their appearance in the spring
to deposit their eggs upon it.—St.
Louis Republic.

A MOST GRAPHIC STORY.
It ta Takes Direct from Heal Life.
A CHAMtING NSW ENGLAND LADY TILLS
HER EXPERIENCE BOTH ABROAD AND IN
AMERICA.
The unwritten romances of life are more
wonderful and far more Interesting than the
most vivid works of fiction. Hie one we are
about to relate occurred in real life, and to
both interesting.and instructive.
Mrs. Jennie Rav formerly lived In Man
chester, N. H. Her home was pleasant, her
surroundings comfortable. In the year 1880
she visited England, and while in that
oountrr began to experienoe strange sensa
tions. At first she attributed them to the
change of climate, but they continued and
increased, until finally, like many another
woman, she became utterly discouraged.
It was while In this condition that Mrs.
Ray returned to America ami her home.
Thousands of women who read this story can
appreciate the condition in which Mrs. Ray
then waa,and sympathize with her suffering.
Two prominent physicians were called and
endeavors Jto do ail in their power for her
relief. In spite, however, of their skill Mr*.
Ray grew weaker and more depressed, while
the agony she endured seemed to increase.
It was at this time that a noted physician
who was called declared Mrs. Ray was suffer
ing from cancer, said there was no help, and
told her friends she could not live more than
a week at the farthest.
And here comes the interesting part of the
storv, which We will endeavor to tell in Mrs.
Ray's own words. She said l
"Unknown to all these physicians, I had
been using a preparation of which I hod
heard much. I did not tell the physicians
because I feared they would ridicule me,and
perhaps order its discontinuance. During
all the while that the physicians were at
tending me the preparation was steadily and
faithfully doing its own work In its own
way, and I had faith in its power. At last
the doctor said there was no use of his com
ing, for he could do me no goo I. I had buf
fered so much that I was quite willin? to
die, but it seems I was nearer relief than I
knew. One week from the day the doctor
last called a false growth,as large as a coffee
cup, and which looked as though It had been
very large, left me. I sent for a doctor,
and he declared it was a fibroid tumor, but
said lie had never known one to come away
of itself before. I immediately bogan to
gain health and strength, and 1 unhesitat
ingly declare that my rescue from death was
due solely to the marvelous effects of
Warner's Safe Cure, which was the remedy
I took unknown to tlie physicians,and which
certainly rescued me from the grave. It is
my tirrn belief that many ladies whoaresa'd
to die of cancer of the womb are caseß like
mine, and If they could be induced to use
Warner's Safe Cure they, like me, might be
saved."
The above graphic account is perfectly
true in every respect. Mrs. Jennie Ray ib
now living at U'J West Sixth street, South
Boston, Mass., and it any lady doubts the
above statement she can address Mrs. Ray,
who will gladly answer all questions or
grant an interview of a» confidential nature
to any laty who may choose to call upon
her. It is said that "truth is stranger thun
fiction," and when the thousands of suffer
ing, helpless women who are upon the road
which physicians say leads only to death,con
sider the story as above given, there is
reason for hope and Joy, even although they
may be now in the depths of despondency
and misery. To such ladies the above
truthful account is willingly given.
Largest Olive Orchard in the World.
Tho largest olive oichard iu the world
belongs to Mr. Ellwood Cooper, of Sauta
Barbara County, California. Mr. Cooper
purchased the laud occupied by this
mammoth prove of Orietitul trees away
back in 1871, the entire orchard, iuclud
iug the portions of it which are devoted
to the culture of English walnuts,
Japanese persimmons, almonds, etc.,
comprising 1700 acres. The orchard
now has 10,000 olive trees, 8100 in full
bearing, the remaiudor being young trees
Bet out during the past year aud a half.
Besides tlu? olive tree there arc 3000
English walnut trees, 10,000 ulmoud
trees and about 4000 other fruit and nut
trees. The 10,000 olive trees yielded
40,000 quart bottles of olive oil last
roar, which found a ready market at
♦ 1.25 per bottle; tho nut trees bore
thousands of bu&hele of nuts, to say
nothing of the Japanese pcrsimmetis.
Taken all in all, it has been calculated
that Mr. Cooper's orchard brings an In

lists of Chiua's trade statistics. For
instance the report of exports from
Ichang, a large city on the middle Yang
tse-Kiang, conlaius an item of 13,000
pounds ol tiger bones, valued at uearly
S3OOO. Ouly a Chinese would think of
putting tiger bones to any other use
than that of a fertilizer, but in China
tiger bones are used as a medicine. They
impart to the invalid some of the tiger's
strength. Another item is UOOO pouuds
of old deer torus, worth #l7O0 —an-
other mediciuai agency with whose
pccular properties Western medical
science it not yet acquainted.—Boston

Young mothers who regain strength but
slowly, should bear in mind that nature's
greatest assistant is Lydia E. Plnklism's
Vegetable Compound. It has no rival as
thousands testify.
Rather risky
the offer that's made by the pro
prietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy. Risky for them. For you, if
you have Catarrh, it's a certainty.
You're certain to be cured of it, or
to bo paid #SOO. That's what they
offer, and in good faith they cure
you, or pay you, no matter how bad
your case, or of how long standing.
But —Mit so much of a risk?
They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a time, but for all
time. They've watched it for years,
curing the most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.
Wouldn't any one take such a
risk with such a medicine ?
The only question is are you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk ?
If so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents and the
trial begins.
