Spring Is the season of liopo and of promise. It tells of coming daysof sunshine, and of returning life and beauty. But there are thousands of people who will find no pleasure in the re turn of spring because of suffering, due to Impure Blood which is the cause of untold misery.

Hood's Sarsaparilla renews tho wasted vital forces, creates an appetite and builds up the strength. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla Whole Families Often find relief in Hood's Sarsaparil la, because, being tho great blood purifier, Hood's Sarsaparilla cures many forms of disease. Following is a striking illustration of this fact: " 1 was induced to try Hood's Sarsapariila for stomach trouble and catarrh. 1 felt n change after taking ttw first bottle.

Tho fashion for white asparagus shoots is ono of tho most foolish of all the useless ones existing. It is sup posed that these white, tasteless shoots are more tender than tho green ones —a very great mistake. But yet, as buyera know no bettor, it is neocssary to satisfy them without regard to the foolishness on their part. Bat for home use it is decidedly better to leave the shoots unearthed up and out them three inches below the surface, of course avoiding cutting the stools un der ground, which will necessarily in jure the plants. If tho white stems are desired, the soil may bo plowed over the crowns and the stalks thus be kept from the light, which is the oause of tho] greenness.—New York Timeß. APPLE TREES FOR LAWNS. There really is no handsomer tree in the world than an apple tree, con sidering flowers, fruit nnd general homeliness. (Queer that wo call a disagreeable thing homely.) But our applo trees are uot grown right to make them suitable for ornamenta tion. Try hoading thom in when young, and let them branch as low as two feet from tho ground. You will have to thin a littlo to lot tho sun in, when the tree will give you a great globo of good fruit. But what a vis ion in flower; nothing can bo finer. I, of course, do not recommend this plan for orchards; but for largo lawns it is very elective. Still easier is it to grow roundheaded dwarf apple trees. These should be headed very low, nnd mako minaturo trees about ten feet in diameter. Some of the best trees for round heads aro Astra chan, Jonathan, Swaar, Fameuse. If it is desired to get much good fruit from such trees tho apples should bo thinned sharply.—New York Inde pendent. PREVENTING THE GROWTH OF HORNS, There is no doubt that tho absence of hornß from all except thorough bred cattlo is very desirable. From adult animals they can bo removed by the use of the saw or some of the clip pers made especially for tho purpose. While these methods aro not injuri ous it is not denied that they are very painful. Preventing their growth is the most humane method as well ns tho ono most easily applied. When the calf is a few days old, clip off the hair over the horn button. Hub this button with a stick of caustic potash the end of which has been moistened with water. Continue until tho em bryonic horn bogins to appear in flamed. It will dry up in a few days and no scar bo left. Do not allow a particle of the caustio to touch any ether portion of tho skin, as it burns intensely, but is not so painful on tho horn buttons, though it may cause tho calf to be dumpish for a few days. Wrap paper about tho stick of caustic to protect tho fingers. A number of prepared applications aro on the market, most of which are eflective, but tho caustic potash in sticks can be had at any drug storo. The advisability of dehorning need not bo argued. Ali who havo tried it indorse the practice. Attend to it DOW when tho calves aro being dropped. This method of prevent ing horn growth has proven effective in thousands of cases.—American Ag riculturist. BLACK LEG OR MURRAIN IN CATTLE. "Blackquarter," "bloody murrain," "black leg" anil malignant anthrax are all one and tho samo disease, but it sometimes assumes different forms, or is more virulent is 6omo seasons thon others, hence receives different local names. There is usually swell ing of tho shoulder, quarter, neck, breast or side, but sometimos only ono limb will appear to be affected, tho animal being but slightly stiff and lame at first, then a swelling will op pear, the skin beoome hard, cracking open, and yellow or bloody matter is suing therefrom. This disease usually appears among well fed and thriving stock, attacking the youngest and fat test animals, but jt runs its course 60 quickly that there is 'little time or an opportunity to attempt the uso of remedies, even if any of much value were known, which, 'unfortunately, is not the case. After the disease runs for a while in a herd, it sometimes as sumes a milder form, and then reme dies may bo used with fair success. These consist mainly of medicines that will clear out the bowels and eliminate the poisons, such as sulphate of soda, .tartrate of potassa, common salt, and turpentine and local applications to tho swelled partß, freely bathing in spirits of camphor, oil of turpentine or weak lotions made of diluted car bolic acid. Dr. James Low recom mends giving by the mouth nitro muriatic, sixty drops; bicromate of potassa, three grains, and chlorate of potassa, two drachms, twice daily, and two or three drachms of a saturated solution of sulphate of quinia, iodide of potassium and bisulphato of soda injected at equal intervals beneath the skin. We do not think the causo of tho disease is known, but we do know that it is frequently very de structive to cattle, aud, an we havo said before, those given tho best of care suffer the most. Above all things, see that your stock is given all the common salt they will eat, and keep it in troughs or boxes under a shed, where every animal in tho herd can go and help himself.—New York Sun. TO MAKE POULTRY .RAISING PROFITABLE In tho first place, build the poultiy house where cold winds of winter will not strike it. Select the sunniost place possible, high and dry, where barns and other outbuildings will pro tect it. Have it as convenient as practicable to the dwelling, for fowls need more attention than any kind of Btock. during bad weather, especially in winter. They then need a warm house, good feed aud plenty of fresh water. ! In order to keep tlitf house*warm batten every crack and bank up abont the bottoYn. For banking, drive stakoa about eight inohea from tho outside of the wall. Plaoe old boards inside these. Some distance from the stakss dig a trench and throw the earth between the boards and the walls until a solid bank 'of sGil two feet high and eight inches thiok is formed all around the ohiokon house exoept at the door. This will keep the floor warm and prevent all draughts. This is an important item, as tho fowls are on the floor most of the time daring the day. Every farmer should have at least twenty-fivo chickens twenty-four hens and a rooster. For these a house 10x14 foot and soven feet high under tho eaves is sufficient for both summer and winter. For the framo use 2x4 scantling; cover these on tho outside with matched board or ordi nary smooth boards and battens. For the roof uso good shingles. All the lumber should bo smooth on both sides. You can then paint tho out side of the house and whitewash the inside. Some professionals heat their poul try houses with a stove during the coldest days, but this is expensive and requires careful manipulation. If tho fire gtts low or goes out tho fowls are apt to take oold and have the roup. If the climate is very cold sheatho the inside of the house and pack the space between tho outer and inner walls with sawdust. Hero tho hardier breeds, such ns Plymouth Bocks, Wy andottes, Brahmas, etc , will do well without artificial heat. They will lay all winter. Where the thermometer seldom goes lower than eight or ten degreos below zero a lining of tarred paper is usually sufficient. Never choose a tender, largo-combed variety of chickens if you livo in a cold cli mate. Provide largo windows for the south • sido of tho house. For twenty-five fowls place three roost poles across one end. Let them rest on a strip of board nailed to the wall two feot from tho floor. A piece of one-inch board two inches wiclo with rounded edges will answer. Placo tho first ono foot from the wall and tho other two. lj feet apart. These can bo rtemovod when the houso is beiug cleaned. Six nests ten inches square, two feet from the floor and on the end opposite the roosts, will provido sufficient room for laying. Never placo them on tho floor of the house. Havo a solid par tition between each, so that tho hous cannot fight. Line with soft straw, never hay. Clean out four times a year and burn the old material. Nests used for setting hens must be cleaned before putting in tho eggs and after the chickens are hatohed. It is a good plan to sprinkle a littlo sulphur in the bottom of each nest as there is whero lico usually start. Clean out from under tho roosts at least once a week, sweeping tho whole house clean. A littlo land plaster sprinkled about prevents bad odors, adds to the value of the mnnure and keeps tho floor from rotting. The door should bo six inches abovo tho giound, made of dressed and matched lumber. Tho ground beneath it must be well drained so no water will stand near the house. Make a box 3x4 feet and one foot high with sides sloping outward. Into this put about three inches of fine gravel. This will 'take the place of oyster shells and is much better for tho fowls. A flock of chick ens treated as directed above will bo a source of pleasure and ono of the most profitable kinds of live stock.—New York Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Fat hens won't lay, and you might as well save your feed, and get some eggs in return for it. Dig up a portion of your yard as soon ns possible, and give the henß a chance to work in some fresh earth. "The new beo escapo-honoy-board makes excellent ventilators in hot weather, and many think thoy prevent swarming caused by excessive heat. Tho secret of getting wax to a bright yellow color is to let it cool slowly. If you have a largo quantity, you can put a large quantity of water with it. That cow which costs 840 per annum to feed, and produces S3O in milk and butter, is a sad leak, equal, if not greater than a rat holo in the bin. Do not allow the mauuro heap to lay exposed to all tho drenching rains from fall till spring, and then buy commercial fertilizer to help the crop along. If you haven't cleanod out your roosting plaoe, and sprinkled lime or sulphur about yon should do so at once. Warm weather will bring foul air and that is productive of disease. Three light meals daily aro better for hens than one heavy one. If you don't boliovo it, try it on yoursolf. Over-feeding will produce liver en largement. Indigestion will follow, and then tho hen becomes poor and non-productive. A successful bee-keeper is careful of his bees, keeping the cntranco to the hivo narrow, and nearly closed at night, if colonies are <veak when the pollen season commences. It takes twenty-one days from tho time the egg is laid to roar a bee. Tho cheapest pork is made from hogs which are nover wintered, but which get a good share of their sus tenance during a long season upon pasture or a good range. In the North clover is becoming tho univer sal pork producer, while mast in the South supplies the place even more choaply. Experience and industry are essen tial to success in poultry business. You can gain tho experience with a dozen fowls, nnd then gradually grow into a larger Thus you can ascertain whether you really like tho business enough to follow it for a liv ing. If yoa do not like it you'll never make » suoooss at it. HOUSEHOLD AfrAIBM, 112 COOKIWO IRISH POT ATOM. From time to time 1 have' aoen art!* alee written about what it ia that make* tho potato mealy. Some claim that it ie in the variety of potatoes, bnt oar oxperienee hoe taught us thai it ia en tirely owing to the manner in whioh they are cooked. If pnlled when young, scraped, and for an honr or two boiled in a pot of greens or beans, they will not be mealy. In the first place they will not ba mealy unless pulled when ripe and cooked in their jackets. They should bo washedl clean and boiled in clear water—boiled just long enough to be done. If boiled too long they will bo sticky and gluey. As soon as they are soft enough for a fork to be stuck in them with ease they should be taken up. If baked inn hot oven jnst long enough to be done, then taken np and slapped until tho skin bursts they are white and delicious. Then they may be scraped out, mashed up and seasoned with salt, pepper and butter, and onions if liked. Eggs boiled hard and chopped fine add to it. Potatoes are better if servad when hot. Potatoes are far more digestible if cooked mealy. The parts scatter about in the stomach and mix more readily with the gastric juice.—Home and Farm. COOKING CEREALS. This table will be found approxi mately accurate as regards the pro portions of grain and liquid to be used, and the length of time required to per fectly cook the following grains and grain products: Pearled Wheat—Five measures of liquid to each measure of wheat. Cook from four to six hours. Pearled Barley—Five measures of liquid to each measure of barley. Cook from four to six hours. Coarse Hominy—Five measures of liquid (to each measure of hominy. Cook from 6ix to ton hours. Fine Hominy—Four measures of liquid to each measuro of hominy. Cook from four to six hours. Coarso Oatmeal—Four measures of liquid to each measure of oatmeal. Cook from four to six hours. Boiled Wheat—Three measnres of liquid to each measure of wheat. Cook two holies. Boiled Barley—Three measures of liquid to each measure of barley. Cook two hours. liolled Oats—Three measures of liquid to each measure of oats. Cook an hour. Bice—Three measures of liquid to each measuro of rice. Cook an hour. Farina—Six measures of liquid to each measure of farina. Cook half an hour to an hour. Water alone can bo used for cooking any of tho cereals, but most of them are richer aud liner ilavored when tho liquid used is milk and water, mixed in about equal proportions. Especi ally is this tho caso with barley, rice, hominy nnd farina. The quantity of salt that should bo used in cooking cereals is largely a matter iu individual tasto, as somo people like consider able, and others very little salt in their food. A safe general rule, however, to follow is to add half a teaspoonful of salt to each pint of liquid. All cereals can bo cooked very per fectly in an ordinary agate wara or porcelain lined stewpan, if carefully watched and stirred; but, as much stirring renders cereals starchy, aud robs them of agooddoal of their finest flavors, a double boiler, frequently called a farina boiler, is much thebest aud most convenient utensil for cook ing mushes and grains of every kind. To cook cereals in a double boiler: Fill the outsido boilor two-thirds full of boiling water, put tho necessary quantity of liquid in tho inside ket tle, add tho requisite amouut of (alt, and when it boils sprinklo in tho grain or moal, stirring slowly until it swells or thickens enough to keep it from settling to tho bottom of tho kettle. Then cease stirring and let it boil slowly until thoroughly cooked. All mushes thicken in cooling, and in preparing cereals to bo eaten cold tho proportion of liquid should bo in creased at least one-third.—Philadel phia Press. RECIPES, Crumpets—One'cup of brown sugar, one cup chopped raisins, one-half cup butter, one egg, one-half teaspoonful soda in a large spoonful of milk; all kinds of spice; roll thin. Orango Pie- One largo orange, grated rind and pulp; juice of half a lemon. Add these to the yolks of four eggs, well beaten with four table spoonsful of sugar and one teaspoon ful of cream. Bake in puff paste and cover with a meringue of the beaten whites of eggs and throe tablospoons ful of sugar. Brown. Mushroom Pudding—Lino a deep pudding dish with a light crust, tako ono pound round beesteak, cut it in small pieces and lay it in the dish. Pour over the meat one pint can of mushrooms (fresh ones aro the best), season with salt, pepper and butter; cover tho top with crust; steam three hours. Servo very hot. Cocoanut Custard—Ono pint of milk, two oggs, one-half cup of sugar, one-half nutmeg grated, one cup of grated cocoanut. Beat the eggs, to gether with tho sugar, until light, then add the milk, nutmog and cocoa nut. Line two pie dishes with light crust, fill thom with tho mixturo and bako thirty minutes in a quick oven. Stuffed Clams—Equal parts of round chopped clams and bread crumbs soaked in milk, season with pepper and parsley, mix well; add tho yolk of ono ogg, put a small piece of butter in a spider, wheu hot add clam mixture, thickon with flour to the con sistency of cream, fill clam shells and brown in the oven or brown in a bak ing dish. Bismarck's Frank Confession. Prince Bismarck, although an old man and a man of the world, has not quite lost his naivete.

Bachelors are not usually accred ited with much knowledgo about tho proper treatment of children, but sometimes they stop iu where angels —that is, tbo mothers of the children —fear to tread. A well-known man about town, who is pretty well ou in years, und not very fond of children, stepped into see a married sister the other day,and found her trying to amuse her little boy, about five years of age. Not long after he arrived, she stopped out of the room to attend to some house hold matter or ucr, leaving him alono with the child. Tho latter oyeil him dubiously for some minutes. He was a spoiled child if ever thcro was one, and had no idea of making promiscuous acquaintances. Tho bachelor tried to make the littlo ono laugh, but all ho got for bis antics was a sour look. Finally, without any warning, tho child burst out crying. Hero was a quandary, to bo sure. Ho didn't dare to pick tho boy up an I soothe him. His attempts in tlio ver bal lino were dismal failures. What should he do? Finally a thought struck him. Ho looked at the crying youngster, and the crying youngster looked at him through his tenrs. He was evidently much pleaso.l with tho impression he was making. "Cry louder," said he. Tho child obeyed. "Louder yet," urged tho bachelor. A yell went up that would have dono credit to an Indian. "Cry louder still," insisted tho man, and tho boy did his best to obey. "Louder," fairly howled his uncle.

When the ves sel reached tho spot whero the soa tragedy occurred, the Captain of the Ems permitted tho epoed of his vessel to abate while the mourning husband nnd lather lowered into the sea a huge wreath of flowers weighted with lead. Another story of tho same disaster is told in an English paper. A young Swedish merchant found himself in financial difficulties as tho now year opened, and, dreading to worry his wife, to whom he had been married but a short timo, deoided on a secret trip to America to make a personal ap peal to a wealthy sister living here to tide him over his difficulties. Ho told his wife he was going on a business trip which would bo somewhat longer than usual, and went off. When tho word of tho disaster went abroad to shock tho world, the waiting wife read it with intense interest and sympathy, but with no smallest suspicion that it mennt anything to her personally. Her brother saw her husband's name in the list of lost, and telegraphed to know if it wero indeed he, to which she replied no, certainly not, that her husband was out of town, but would be back in a day or two.

" Well Done Outlives Death," Even Your Memory Will Shine if You Use SAPOLIO Scott's Emulsion is not a secret remedy. It is simply the purest Norway Cod-liver Oil, the finest Hypopnosphites, and chemi cally pure Glycerine, all combined into a perfect Emul sion so that it will never change or lose its integrity. This is the secret of Scott's Emulsion's great success. It is a most happy combination of flesh-giving, strength ening and healing agents, their perfect union giving them remarkable value in all WASTING DISEASES. Hence its great value in Consumption, wherein it arrests i the wasting by supplying the most concentrated nour- ; ishment, and in Anaemia and Scrofula it enriches and , vitalizes the blood. In fact, in every phase of wasting j it is most effective. Your doctor will confirm all we j say about it. Don't be persuaded to accept a substitute /i Scott & Bowne, New York* All Druggists. 50c. and It* Cows Talis Arc Too Short. According to the hide dealer, down in New York's leather district, known ns the "Swamp," nature did not giro cattle tails of sufficient length, and the shortcoming in tails is brought forcibly to the dealer's mind iu tho spring of the year when every raw hide iu stock has to be looked over for holes. And these worm hole t aro always located in a spot about a foot sqnare in tho center of the hide, where cattle cannot wag their tails. The holes aro from the fly grnbs, which begin to hatch about this time. In passing by the".Swamp" warehouses nowadays, two men armed with spades will be seen to tako a hide, spread it on the floor, skin side up, and scrape and carefully inspect a small spot in the center of it. If any holes aro found ten per cent, of the value of tho hide is knocked out of it, and it is putin a separate pile. And so every stored hide in the building is hauled over, all because the "critter's" tail could not reach the flies.---New York Adver tiser. § Consumption kills more people than rifle balls. It is more dead ly anj j)f the disease? It rible drain and waste work on wasting tissues, put the l>ooy into condi- a with Medical Discovery fights in the right' way. It will cure 98 per cent, of nil cases if taken during the early stages of the disease. Its first action is "to put the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys into good working order. That makes digestion good aud assimilation quick and thorough. It makes sound, healthy flesh. That is half the battle. That makes the "Discovery" good for those who have not consumption, but who are lighter and less robust than they ought to be.
