.Great excitement and interest has been man
ifest ed in tlio recovery of an old-time resi
lient of this town, Mr. Jos. Banker, who has
for soveral years been consMerod by all his
friends a hopeless consumptive. Investiga
tion shows tiiat for over thirty-two years ho
wed three aud a half pounds of tobacco a
week. 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. " Before I used No-To-15ac I was
so nervous that when J went to drink I had
to hold the glass in botli hands. To- lay my
nerves are perfectly steady. Where did I get
No-To-Bac? At the drug store. It is made
by the Stirling Remedy Company, general
westernofiloe, 45 Randolph street, Chicago,
New York office, 10 Spruce street, but
I seo by the printed matter that it is sold
by all druggists—l know all the druggists in
this town keep it.l have recommended it
to over one hundred people and do not know
of a single failure to cure."

SCIENTIFIC FARMING.
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.
It is growll fir propagated from set*
or pieces of piiinli rn its cut from four
to el ; lit inches long witll upper end
slanting and l.iwi r end square. Win u
cultivated mi a largo scule tin- ground
1 Well manured, deeply plowed mid

| apail The planting u Uon« 17 uak-
ing ft hole with a long slim dibber or
planting stick or with ft small, light
iron bftr, and dropping the set, square
end down, into it so that the top end
is left a little below the surface. 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 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

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.

ASIDE from the fact that the
L cheap baking powders contain
alum, which causes indigestion and
other serious ailments, their use is
extravagant
It takes three pounds of the best
of them togo as far as one pound
ot the Royal Baking Powder, be
cause they are deficient in leavening
gas.
There is both health and econ
omy in the use of the Royal Baking
Powder.

As C. CJ. 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.
Bettes was not going to let that
frog get the best of him, and, after
chasing several blocks, finally got it
cornered, and now has it on exhibition
in the show window of the. G'arleton
pharmacy.—Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-
