A short time a#o he was induced to try a tobacco-habit curecalle.i "No-To-Bac." Talking about his miraculous recovery to day lie said : "Yes, I used No-To-Bac, and two boxes completely cured me. 1 thought, nnd so did all my friends, that I had con sumption. Now they say, as yon say, 'how hoalthy nnd strong you look, Joe,' and when ever thev ask me wnat cured my eowunip tion I tell them No-To-Bac. The last week I used tobacco I lost four poun Is. The morning I began the use of No-To-Bac I weighed 127 V pounds; to-day 1 weigh 16!), a gain of 42 1 .., pounds. I eat heartily an l bleep well.

Tho farmers who object to scientific farming are the ones who aro too lazy to benefit by the latest discoveries of science. They run their farm in a slip-shod fashion, and then grumble because their industrious neighbors pass them in the race.—New York World. CAKE OF HORSES' FEET. One of the mistakes often made by farmers is that of keeping their horses shod that do work in the field during a portion of the year at least. Of course this sometimes becomes neces sary, but in tho great majority of cases it is not only uncalled for but it is actually a hindrance to the best service the horse is capable of giving. Everybody knows that when a horso is once shod the necessity of keeping shoes upon his feet grows upon him. It is also recoguized that a horse can do all sorts of farm work just as well without shoes on as with them, and a critical observer of horses soon dis covers that farm horses are kept wear ing shoes merely from a fancied and mistaken kindness toward them rather than from any sound and logical rea son. If people were in tho habit of giving a little personal attention to their horses' feet upou frequent occa sions, instead of leaving it all to the blacksmith it would be all the better for the horses.—Nebraska Farmer. 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. Salt they must have in some form or another, aud if it is supplied to them in suitable quan tities and ways, they will tako sutli cieut and 110 more for their own bene fit. For about a month, from June 20 to July 18 last year, three cows were kept without salt aud the milk from each weighed daily from the 4th to tho 18th of July, when they gave 451 pounds. From July 18 to August 1 the same cows received four ounces of salt each, aud during that time the milk showed au increaso of 100 pounds, the weight being 5(!4 pounds. From this experiment it ap pears that there was a considerable gaiD, which would pay admirably 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 al ways bo accessible.— Connecticut Farmer. HOW TO MAKE A WATER MEADOW. A water meadow is n level piece of land ou tlie bank of a stream that is embanked, so as to retain tho water of the stream in freshets, and permit it to settle and deposit the soil which it holds in suspension. As the mud which comes down with the high water is the washing of the best of the land above, this inclosed land gathers a large quantity of valuable soil in the course of a few years, and the grass grown on it yields very abundantly. In a dry tinio the water of the stream may bo turned 011 to the meadow by means of a channel made further up, or at a low dam made in the stream for the purpose, and the growth of grass thus greatly increased. If the land is almost level, the bank on the side of the stream aud on the lower limit of the iield need not be more than a foot high. Of course, it is pro vided with gates to let in the water and discharge it at the lowest point. It ia ofton the case that the water thus turned onto the field is permitted to flow slowly over it, settling the sus pended matter as it flows. Laud thus improved has been known to pay an interest every year on a valuation of §IOOO an acre.—New York Times. FATTENING POUWKY. Tho fattening of fowls for market by means of the process known as cramming is practiced to a great ex tent in certain localities, and decided advantages are claimed for it. While there seems to be a great demand for what is thought to be a special de licacy, it may be questioned if such methods are not productive of objec tionable results. It is scarcely to be expected that creatures fed in the manner described in accounts given of such operations will retain their health, and come to market in a per fectly normal condition. All undue forcing of the appetite gives rise to feverish and unwholesome states, and it beems impossible that meat pre pared under such circumstances can be suitable for food. As a matter of fact too much fat is an objection rather than a gain in poultry. A fowl kept in a good clean range and care fully fed is at its best when cooped up for three or four days aud given all of the boiled rice with a little sugar and butter that it can eat in that time. In the course of this period it has no opportunity to get diseased and ab ' normal. It would be well if saui ! tariaus and health enthusiasts would 1 give a little atteutiou to tins way of ! fattening, and see it it is entirely con sistent with the laws of health and hygieue.—New Ytrk Ledger. RAIKINU lIOILMKIUOMII. Horseradish delights in d« op, rich, moist soil, and requires but little cul tivation as it ha* much top which | shades the ground, prevent* weed* from grow in," aud keeps the soil moist aud mellow.

Then press the soil liruily against the set. Keep cultivator or wheel hoc going till the top growth renders further working unnecessary. In these days of intensive farming or gardening we must tako two crops olf the same land each season when ever possible, so horseradish is gen erally made a second crop, though planted tit nearly the same time as the first crop. The crops usually selected as the first crop are early cabbages, cauliflowers or beets. As soon as the first crop is planted the horseradish sets aro put out, as described above, midway betwen the other two rows, so as to stand two or two and a half feet ono way by sixteen or eighteen inches the other. Tlie sets are putin deep enough so tho upper or slanting end will be about three inches below the surface of the ground. This will give the first crop time enough to grow and bo gotten out of the way before the horse radish gets much above ground. While cultivating the first crop no notice is taken of the horseradish un derneath. If a stray shoot comes up it is to be treated as a weed, and the whole surface below tho rows kept clean. When the lirst crop is taken off the cultivator may be run once down the space where it stood and tho horseradish permitted to make its growth as rapidly as it wishes. It makes its most rapid growth in early autumn anyway, and with the good start it lias had below tho surface it is soon ready for a hoeing; this will generally be all the cultivation needed. It is dug late in the fall, the tops and small roots trimmed from the main root*, which are stored in cellars aud root houses till wanted for tho market. The small roots as cut oil are saved, trimmed and bunched tor the next season's planting. They should be buried in sand till wanted. The largo roots are generally washed before being sold. The price is usu ally so much per pound. To start o plantation roots maybe obtained from most large dealers in roots and plants. Farm, Field and Fireside. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Salting with briuo is not effective. Excessive feedingof Swedish turnips makes tho milk bitter. Begin early aud traiu the fruit trees to grow symmetrical and well bal anced. It requires ensilage aud warm stables for cows in winter to make winter dairying profitable. It is doubtful if there is any better milk-producing food for tho brood mare than ground oats. Professor Weiguian attributes oily butter to irou, which comes from the use of poorly tinned vessels. Keep a close watch 011 tho work horses. Give them all necessary pro tection against bad-fitting or dirty collars. Hot weather brings plenty of work in the poultry yard, aud work that can not be slighted nor neglected if profit able results are to be expected. Handsome, well proportioned, sound, sixteen-hand carriage horses that show quality and good action will bring about as much money to-day as ever. Green bone is an excellent egg-mak ing food. It is also excellent for young chicks, as it furnishes the ma terial required for the growth of bono and feathers. Soapy milk has been found to be caused by damp, foul straw upon which the cows were bedded. This abounded in bacteria, which got 011 to tho udders and thence into the milk. Salting with one-half to one and one half ounces per pound increases tho total weight of butter about twelve per cent. Tho unsalted butter has a larger water content than the salted. Young ducks nro great feeders and will sometimes gain as much as a pound in a week. Duck meat can bo produced almost as cheaply as pork, and with about the samo kind of feed. Because there are poor imported stallions it is very foolish to refuse to buy or use an imported stallion. Some of tho best horses in the world have been imported into the United States. When honey is capped and sealed it should be removed at once if a fine appearance is desired. If left to tho bees it will improve in flavor and quality but at the expense of discol oration. I. Seidl finds that weak brine up to ten per ceut. is not fitted for preserv ing butter, and that saturated brine cannot be relied on, even when the butter is kept in a cool place. Brine is likely to give butter a "licet" taste. If eggs are desired during the warm ■ season, do not let the hens get crowd ed in the roosting place. Hotter pro vide a roosting she I with open sides. At the most, not over twenty-five should lie allowed to roost together. The best time to oil harness is after it has been out in the r.iin. When it is nearly but not quite dry wash it 1 clean with lukewarm water with a lit tle common soap in it; rinse oil'the i.tp, an I wheu nearly dry apply the oil.

FRl'lT PIE SEASON. A well-beaten egg, rubbed with a bit of cloth over the lower crust of pies, will prevent the juice from soaking through it. The juice of fruit pies, if thiokene l with a level teaspoonful of cornstarch to a pic, will not boil over. Tho under crust should be a little the thickest. If it is a fruit pie, dust a little flour on tho bottom before putting your fruit in, and in making pies of fresh fruits put your sugar in tho bottom. — New York Journal. HERMAN PEACH AND APPLE CAKE. The "apple" and the "peach cake" of our German bakeshops is made with a thin layer of raised biscuit dough, rolled out till it is not over half an ineh thick. Tho cake is rubbed with butter, and sometimes, by the Ger mans, with lard to prevent a hard crust forming on top. it is putin a baking pan, and even slices of apples or peaches are laid on it in symmetri cal rows, covering the entire top of the cake, andthenthe whole is dredged with sugar. The pan is covered with a tin or iron slide, and the cake is baked for from twenty-live to thirty minutes. By this means tho apples are cooked through delicately without losing their form and without drying iij", as they would if they were not covered up, and the raised biscuit dough underneath is throughly cooked through. TEMPTINO MEAT PIES. Miss Beeehor, a graduate of the Philadelphia Cooking School, is tho inventor of a new and tempting way of serving in little meat pies left over beef and mutton. Chop the meat as for hash, an l to every half pint add a half teaspoonful of onion juice, a tablespoouful of butter, a half teaspoouful of salt and a dasli of red pepper, four teaspoonfuls of milk and two beaten eggs. Heat this mixture over the fire, but do not cook it, and have ready about a pint of boiled rice (one cupful before cooking). Butter individual earthen molds and line them with tho rice, till in with the meat mixture and cover the top with rice. Stand iu a pan of boiling water and bake a quarter of an hour. Serve in tho molds, placed ou plates with a sprig of parsley on each, or turn on plates aud servo with brown sauce. The pies make a nice dinner or luncheon dish.—Xew York Suu. HOUSEHOLD HINT,;.

Table oilcloth tacked back of tho stove, if pans or cooking utensils are hung up, and of tables where mixing or dish washing is doue, saves the wall and may be cleaned easily, and lasts a long time. Soda water powders, which aro con sidered excellent for allaying thirst in warm weather, are made of thirty grains of carbonate of soda and twen ty-live grains of tartaric acid. Dis solve the soda powder in half a glass ol water and stir it into tho acid, and drink while effervescing. "Fern doilies" are made of laeo bark, a diaphonons, lacelike material found under the bark of certain -Ja maica trees. This is bordered with a set pattern cut out of the brown cab bage plant. The dollies are not only unique and beautiful, but also serve as "promoters" of conversation by lead ing the talk to foreign lauds and quaint fancies. To cleau oilcloth take a pail of clean, soft, lukewarm water and a nice soft piece of flannel. Wash the oil- I cloth and wipe very dry, so that no | drop of water is left to soak iui > it.

Bettes, the druggist, was walking homo Monday night he saw something on the sidewalk which he took for a brick. Mr. Bettes is a cyclist, and he was thoughtful enough to endeavor to remove the obstruc tion, which might, cause some wheel man to come to grief, so he stopped and attempted to shove the brick off the walk with his foot. The "brick" moved. Iu fact, it moved about twenty feet straight to ward the middle of the street. Mr. Bettes was utterly duwfounded. He could not remember taking more tliau a half dozen cococoias, and that beverage had never before caused him to see bricks leap off the sidewalk. He started after that brick, but just as he was almost over it and stooped down to examine it closely, away it went again, landing on the opposite sidewalk. He then saw what it was. A tremendous bullfrog, that could outjump the Nassau Kailroad ring at the county convention when the ring sters saw the regular Democrats were going to sit down 011 them.
