Ho Strnck the Ex-President.
, Oils Butterworth, the popalar boni
face of the Ridge way House, is prob
ably the only living man who, literal
ly speaking, struck a President of the
United States and received thanks in
stead of a term in jail for it. Mr. But
terworth onco gave it to Benjamin
Harrison in the neck and he lives to
tell tho tale. It was while President
Harrison was living in his Cape May
cottage. Mr. Bntterworth was run
ning a hotol not far from the Execu
tive residence. One day while enjoy
ing a ride on a trolley car Mr. Butter
worth, who happened to bo sitting be
hind a short, thiok-set man with gray
hair and beard, noticed a very large,
healthy mosquito getting its bloody
work in on the back of the thick-set
man's neck. Acting on a very natural
impulse, Mr. Butterworth raised his
right hand and brought tho palm of it
down on the man's neck with a re
sounding slap. The inan turned
quickly around and Mr. Butterworth
saw that he was the President of the
United States.
"I beg your pardon," said Mr. But
terworth, "but thero was a mosquito
on your neck."
"Thank yon very mucb," remarked
the Chief Executive, cordially. "Judg
ing from tho force of your blow I
don't think the insect will give mo
any more trouble. 1 don't use slang
very often, bat this is tho first time I
ever got it in the neck—at least in that
fashion."
Then Mr. Butterworth plucked the
dead mosquito from the President's
neck, and be and Mr. Harrison en
tered into a pleasant chat on general
topics. Mr. Butterworth has that
mosquito yet.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Big Vessels lor the Lakes.
rians already fo:med settle tho
•question whether lake steamships dOO
feet long or upward, with a capacity
of carrying GOO tons ol freight at a
load, will bo common after the open
ing of tho channels twenty feet deep
through all the shallows between Du
luth and Chicago and the ports of
Lake Erie. There is no longer a
doubt that such monster vessels will
rapidly multiply within tho next few
years, and they are certain to do a
great part of the carrying trade of tho
lakes, perhaps most of it, beforo tho
end of tho century.
The steamships already contracted
for and thoso which are certain to be
,bmlt beforo next spring will undoubt
edly so far surpass all vessels now in
uso in ability to make motley at low
rates for freight that other vessel
'owners will be forced to follow tho
pioneers of this latest step forward in
the construction of splendid lake car
riers. Even an over supply of ton
nage, such as is very likely to be the
resalt, will not prevent the work of
replacing small craft with steamers of
the largest size from going on stead
ily. In one sense it will hasten tho
change. Only the biggest vessels can
make money in such seasons of gen
eral over-competition for cargoes, and
in order to continue the business tho
owners oj old boats must let them go
out and putin commission steamships
equal to any on tho great lakes.—

The Dangerous liiiscomboo.
A Mrs. Jnmes, of Lexington, Ky.,
attacked, and desperately injured
Michael Driggons with a buscomboo.
This is one of the most dangerous
weapons known to the Italians. It is
supposed to have been made by Mrs.
.Tatues's husband, who is an Italian.
The weapon is made of a small cedar
sapling, the root forming the knob
into which twenty-two loug steel nails
nro driven. The handle is fourteen
inches long, the knob four inches
long and two inches in diameter. A
loop of silk cord is attached to the
handle to secure the instrument to thy
wrist.—New Orleans Picayune.

SOOT A FERTILIZER.
Few peoplo know, perhaps, that
soot water made from the soot of wood
fires is said to be an excellent fertil

soot should be brushed down from the
chimney with a long handled brush,
gathered into a quart bag and soaked
in rain water .over night. The water
will havo becomo as black as ink by
the next morning and will be ready
for use. To use about house plants it
should bo considerably diluted, as it
is apt to be too strong for the little
amount of earth in window box or pot.
It is a perfect destroyer of insects and
worms that are tho dread of tho ama

FIGHTING THE ARMX WORM.
"When the nrmv worms leave the
low meadows upon which they usually
feed, it means destruction to the farm
era' crops which lie in the track of the
migrating host. Professor Charles B.
Lounsbury, of Massachusetts, recom
mends plowing a deep furrow across
this track, with the steep side next the
crops. Make a largo number of holes
in tho bottom of the furrow, into
which the caterpillars will fall and
where they can bo easily crushed. The
grass ahead of tho army may bo
sprayed with par is green, or in a cran
berry bog tho ditches may be filled
with water. A heavy roller may be
run over tho ground occupied by the
army. A barrier of planks or fence
rails may be made and smeared thickly
with coal tar, crude petroleum or even
with kerosene. Thero should be no
openings between or below tho planks
or rails, which aro laid down end t<j
end.—Americaq Agriculturist.
CORN ON OUTSIDE ROWS,
M. uy farmers plant two or three
rows ot potatoes on tho outer edges of
the corn field, so that in cultivating
tho horse can turn on those without
treading down the corn. But the po
tatoes nre worso injurod by this tramp
ing than the corn is, ami scattered as
thqy nre on these outside rows, it re
quires extra labor to harvest them.
Wo have noticed also that when the
corn was planted out to tho end of the
rows, the outside hills, despito the in
jury by trampling, had more grain in
proportion to their stalks. This is un
doubtedly because tho outside rows
get most sunlight. It is a mistake to
plant corn tbrckly. Three grains in a
hill, if all grow as all should, nre bet
ter than more, for if your stalks each
have an ear tho size of tho ear will bo
smaller, and it will mako greater work
in husking and handling the crop with
little or no increase of grain.—Boston

HARP-MILKING COWS.
There are many excellent cows
whose only fault is that they aro hard
to milk. This, to tho man who is not
used to milking cows, may seem a
comparatively small matter, but it is
really most Rerious. It is not merely
the expenditure of a little more mus
cular exertion twise a day for several
years. The cow that milks hard
usually gets more or less abuse aud
becomes a kicking cow. It is common
for her to bo only partly milked, for
when the milk comes hard at all times
the stripping is sure to be extra diffi
cult. LeaviDg some milk in tho udder
at each milking is the surest way to
make the cow go dry. This affects
not only the cow, but her progeny,
for as drying up early induces fatten
ing this tendency is imprinted on the
unborn calf. So, if two cows of other
wise equ*.l value were offered to a man,
he might be willing to pay and be
justified in paying a high price for the
one that milked easily, while unwilling
to take the hard milker as a gift.
Most cases of hard-milking cows can
be remedied by inserting a coarse
needle in the teats. This should be
done only by those who have had ex
perience. Making the oriSce too
large is a worse evil than tho other.
The cow will ihen leak her milk, and
a large part of what she would furn
ish for hor keep will be wholly lost.

THE SQUASH BUG PEST.
One of tho most disheartening pests
is the squash bug. It is tho worm
which catno in tho night and cut down
the prophet Jonah's shady vine that
covered his bower, under the shelter
of which he escaped from the burniug
sun that smote his head. It is the
habit of the insect 1o do this very
thing, and the expectant grower of
the hoped for prize squash, with which
he hopes to gain enviable and honor
able notoriety in his rural community,
lnay well say in his distress that ho
does well to be angry, as the prophet
cli &
Jhe pest is bad in every way. It
smells bad, and it does exasperating
mischief, that is remediless. It is
only to be prevented. To do this is easy
with the kerosene emulsion, sprayed
on the vines, or a few tobacco stems
Bpread under the plant will be helpful.
A few corncobs or other absorbent
material steeped in gas tar qt any of
the strong smelling crude petroleum
products and distributed about (he
plants will drive the bugs away before
they have done mischief. If, in spite
of ail preventatives, a vine is seen to
wilt and tho leaves hang down, the
stem is examined and the openiug in
it where the grub has eaten its way
into the vine it* found, then the vine
ip slit with a sharp knife below the
opening and tlie intruder is takoi) out
nnd the wounded vine is covered
soil to the node.pr Joiqt, at ne^ 1 ,
roots will be made. This habit of root
ing at the joints may bo taken advan
tage of to greatly assist in the growth
of the orop, for as the covered joints
take root the plant has more feeders
and is able to supply larger fruits.—

HORSE'S MOUTHS.
During the many years in whifth
the writer has been engaged in the
practice of veterinary medioine there
is nothing that has been more foroibly
brought to his attention than the in
difference of most people to the con*
dition of the horse*s mouth.
They seem to think tho mouth never
becomes dorangod, when, in faot, it is
one of tho most sonsitivo organs of
the equine eoonomy. All young horses
coming threo or four years old should
have their teeth and mouth carefully
examined when any symptoms of ten
derness are shown in the mouth, as it
is at this ago that some of the milk
molars aro replaced by the permanent
ones.
In some cases the crown of the
former is only partially displaced,
ani} gives riso to much pain and an
noyance,
I have seen a young horse that had
its throat blistered with liniment and
was treated for distemper, when the
trouble was due to a misplaced crown
of a milk molar, which, upon removal,
gave instant relief.
Again, iu some horses the struotnro
of tho teeth is of a comparatively soft
nature, and wears rapidly on the
grinding substances iu a ragged and
uneven manner, which severely out
and lacerate the tongue and cheeks.
This dofect may be easily remedied
by the use of the mouth rasp, &n in
strument that may now be found in
nearly all hardware stores.
To heal tho raw surfaces a little
alum and borax dissolved in water will
act effectually. This humane method,
if pursued by people who own horses,
will prevent much suffering to the
horse and at the same timo amply re
pay the owner in the improved appear
ance of his animal, and in many cases
prevent the loss of much food by quid
ding and slobbering.
A few words in regard to thoso bug
bears of most horse owners, namely,
lampas, so called, and wolf-teeth.
Lampas is supposed by most people
to possess some mysterious power over
a horso whereby his appetite becomes
deranged.
They therefore resort to cutting and
burning the poor brute's mouth under
the mistaken notion of curing the lam
pas. The writer of this has been en
gaged in tho care of horses for twenty*
five years, and has yet to see a horse
that was affected physically by lam
pas, except in tho imagination of its
owner.
It is the sarno with the so-oalled
"wolf-teeth." These teeth aro the
vestigial remains of premolar teeth
that, in tho romote ancestors of the
horse, wero functional, and thoy have
becomo through disnso more rudi
ments, as it wore, of their former
solves.
They do not, by somo occult moans,
affect the eyes of horses and causo
them togo blind, nor are they respon
sible, as some good peoplo conteud,
for a horse being in poor condition.
Nor is it at all necessary to punch
them out with a hammer and cold
chisel.—St. Louis Republic.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Peeil a pig ami you'll Lave a hog.
Plant u piece of ryo near the poul
try hor.se.
Every one hundred fowls should
have an acre of land.
Millet makes good hay if cut just
after it has headed out.
Cut clover when about half the blos
soms are turning brown.
One animal well fed is of more
protit than two poorly kept.
Just after the blossoms are gone is
the best time to cut timothy.
You can BOW buckwheat up to the
20th of July. Every farmer should
sow some of this graiu.
Sorrel can be easily gotten rid of in
the fields by mowing before the seed
mature?. It can be killed in walks and
elsewhere by sprinkling it with salt.
Hot, dry weather is very enervating
to COWB. and they will drink much
more water than when the grass is wet
with moisture and the temperature
cooi.
Millet, or Hungarian grass, requires
a fertile soil, as it is a heavy feeder,
audit wants most of the season be
tween spring and fall frosts in which
to mature.
In Bulletin 40 of the Minnesota Ex
periment Station is a report of con
tinued experiments in root pruning
corn. The trials for three years
showed an annual loss.
Although much has been said against
the feeding value of turnips, and that
they cause bad-tasting milk and but
ter, an expert says he has always raised
and fed them with success.
Flat turnips may be sown in July,
but the seed bed should be mellow,
fertile and clean to insure a profitable
crop. Sow preferably just before or
after a rain, and virgin land recently
cleared is the best.
The man who knows and appreci
ates just when to use the roller aud
the harrow upon the ground for its
best good and the good of his crop, is
well abreast of the best thought of the
age in matters of soil tillage.
Sort your eggs as to oolor before
bringing them to market. They look
nicer, and the dealers prefers them
that way because his customers do.
They like white eggs for tablo use,
/ind colored oats for cooking.
(irass is most profitable of all prod
ucts of the soil. It may not be so di
rectly, but it oerttainly is so indirect
ly, for while hay sold from the farm is
jlnot.a very profltable crop, yet the
Yproducts of the feeding of the grass
Sue wholly indispensable to the contin
ued culture of the laud.

PRESERVES THE COLOR OF JAM.
To preserve tho color of the jam,
boil the fruit for a few minutes by it
self before adding the sugar, being
careful, however, not to let it get so
thick as to prevent the scum rising or

thisreoipet Cut thd tops and tails
off the gooseberries, weigh them, thon
put them in the preserving pan;
bruise them a very little with a clean
or new wooden spooti, and let them
boil quiekly for six or seven minutes,
turning them well all the time; now
add the sugar (in the proportion of
two and a half pounds of powdered
sugar to every three pounds of goose
berries)! and boil the jam quickly for
three-quarters of an hour, stirring it
carefully, and skimming it most par
ticularly. The sugar should beadded
gradually and well mixed into ensure
its melting thoroughly 5 but once this
is effected, it can scarcely boil too
fast. Properly made, tho color of this
preserve will be preserved.—New

HOW TO MARK ATTAR OF ROSES.
Use the fragrant petats of flowers
of the same season. Roses and jas
mine, with a small quantity of sweat
brier and mignonette, make a nice
mixture, Thero must be a greater
quantity of rose leaves than of all the
others together.
Spread the petals ou a layer of cot
ton which has boon dipped in the
finest Florenco or Lucca oil, and
sprinkle over them a little tine salt.
Lay on another slioet of cotton, and
add petals and salt as bofore; repeat
this, with a layer of the oiled cotton
botween each iayer of petals, until you
have filled a china bowl or a wide
mouthed jar. Tio a bladder closely
over all, and placo the vessel in the
sun ; if under a garden forcing glass,
all the better.
11l about iifteeu days rcmovo the
bladder and squeeze tlio cottoa and
petuls, when n fragrant oil will bo ex
pressed resembling tho high-priced
attar of roses sold by druggists. Tlie

must bo corked up immediately. A
bottlo with a glass stopper is bost for
tho purpose. If cork is used tie a
piece of bladder over it.—St. Lotus

drippings in the pau. An hour bofore
the veal is done add a dozen medium
sized potatoes and put them into the
pan with tho meat. When tho veal is
done arrange them arouuid it on the

Marriage Riirjs May lie Any Material.
There is a popular idea that a ring

tomary, there is no reason whatever
why silver or any commoner metal
should not be called into requisition.
Numerous instances are on record of
runaway marriage m which a brass
ring has played the all-important part,
and the legality of the ceremony lias
never been questioned. In some oases
a pieoe of hurriedly tied string lias
answered tho same purpose, as have

Yon know that the weather affects
your health; bat hate you liver jatis
fiea yourself at to how it does it T By
observing the barometer for a few
months and comparing your feelings j
with its readings yon will discdvefcthat I
they flpotuate in harmony.- Then, jnst
a little plain thinking will make it
olear. \V hen the barometer is low the
atmosphere is light, and the air pres
sure on the body is considerably less
ened. When this pressure is removed
the blood is forced to the surface and
distends the surface and distends the
Vessels. Weak o* diseased pafts are
congested, sensitive nerves submitted
to unusilal pressure; ahd A sense 6f
fulness; u srirt bf'sttiffjr feeling per
vades the whole body. The blood does
not flow freely on account of the loss
of nerve tone, the brain becomes slug
gish and mental aouteness is impaired.
The barometer is not responsible for
all this, bat it explains how it all hap
pens;

moisture of thd atniosphere, like those
who are diseased or have weak spots.
They have sufficient vital energy to re
sist the tendency to congestion of the
small blood vessels and of the mucous
membranes to throw off more moisture
than the atmosphore will absorb. It
is for this reason that children and
young people in good health do not
suffer to any extent from atmospheric
changes.—Pittsburg Commercial Ga

Novel Method ot Lawn Sprinkling.
An Auburn (Me.) man has invented
for his own use a novel method of
lawn sprinkling. He has made the
top rail of the fence around his lawu
of iron water pipes, jointed together
so as to permit a continuous ilow ot
water, and perforated on the inner
side with small boles. Ho connects
the fence and the hose, and the water
is evenly sprayed over every part of
the lawn.

An Experiment Willi Frozen Milk.
A year ago a Danish merchant ox
poriinentod by taking Danish milk,
which is peculiarly delic ito and rich
in flavor, freezing it by the use of ice
and salt and sending it to London.
On its arrival the milk proved to be
as sweet and well tasting as if it had
been just drawn from a cow in the
middle of Sweden. Tho milk was BO
much in demand and proved so prof
itable an articlo of commerce that the
exporter immediately took out a pat
ent on the shipment of frozen milk
from Sweden and Denmark to Lon
don. He then sold the patent to a
stock company with large capital,
which on February 1 last bought one
of the largest Swedish creameries, con
verted it into a factory, and, having
putin a special freezing apparatus,
began cn May 1 the export of frozen
milk in large quantities.

From the Timet, Ou>ego, A. I.
Having been informed that Mr. Harlin
Scott, of the town <)( Candor, Tioga Co., N.
Y., had received great benoflt from tho use o(
Pink Pills, a reporter of the Oiecgo Timet
drove out to Mr. Scott's farm and found that
gentleman hard at work and apparently in
the best of Health: Oil making inquiry ad
to tho truth of report, Mr; Scott was very 011=
thusiastlo and cheerfully furnished the fol
lowing affidavit:
Harlin J. Scott, being duly sworn, says that
he is a farmer living in the town of Candor,
Tioga County, State of New York. Had for
merly lived in Caroline, Tompkins County,
N. Y. For several years was afflicted with
a disease of tho skin, in which brown spots
and sores appeared upon his face, neck and
body* At times suffered a burning) prick*
ling or itching seiisation thiit was terribly
annoying add disagreeable; especially sd
when perspiring; and was unable to work;
Colisiilted Ihe local physician; whd said my
liver add blood were diseased. His prescrip
tions did not benefit me. I took blood reme
dies recommended by druggists, with no
help. A friend called my attention to Pink
Pills for Pale People. I purchased a box of
a druggist in Ithaca in February, 1894. The
llrst box had a beneficial effect. Have con
tinued to take them, and there is scarcely
any spots or pimples on my body. I can
now work hard—perspiration causes 110 au
noyance. I sleep well, and am confident
that my rocovery is due to the Pink Pills.

The foregoing is but one of mauy wonder
ful euros that havo been credited to Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Diseases
which heretofore have been supposed to be
Incurable, such as locomotor ataxia and pa
ralysis, succumb to this wonderful medicine
as readily as the most trifling ailments. In
most cases tho reported cures hnvo been
investigated by tho leading newspapers and
veritlod in every possible manner. Their
fame has spread to tho far ends of civiliza
tion, and there is hardly a drug store in this
country or abroad where they cannot be
found..
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all tho elements necessary
to give new life and richness to tho blood
and restoro shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headache, tho after effect of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weakness either In
male or female. Pink Pills tire sold by all
dealers, or will bo sent post paid on receipt
of price, (50 cents a box, or six boxes for
s2.so—they are nover sold in bulk or by the
100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Schenectady. N. Y.
