Undrawn Poultry.
If housekeepers everywhere would
6tart and maintain a crusade against the
sale of undrawn poultry in the markets
or by farmei-3 it would work a most
wholesome hygienic reform. It is a vic
ious practice, an abuse, in fact, that peo
ple have endured as they have many
other abuses, because there is no remedy
except in concerted action or legislation.
It is impossible to keep undrawn poultry
even a few hours, without the beginning
of putrefaction from the effects of the
pases from the undigested food in the
"crop" and intestines. The longer it is
kept the more of the poison goes into the
flesh, and in the majority of cases the
poultry that reaches the kitchen from
the market is actually unfit for food.
Housekeepers could well afford to pay a
larger price'to hare the poultry dressed
immediately upon being killed they
pay for much weight that is thrown away,
as it is, besides having left a mass of
poisoned flesh. It is urged that some
people prefer the flavor of undressed
poultry, but that fact only makes the
matter the more alarming, since it indi
cates that we are cultivating a taste for
putrid meat.
Ttui Agricultural Cliairmnn.
The new chairman of the Committee
on Agriculture of the house, succeeding
William H. Hatch, of Missouri, is E. IL

was brought up in

he has made

Mr. Funston is a shrewd, earnest man,
as his looks indicate. He stands six feet
high in hie stockings, and weighs 250
pounds. He comes to Congress from
Iola, in Eastern Kansas, one of the rich
est agricultural sections of that State.
Healthy Cellar.
Cellar windows should be constructed
so as to admit of being tight and close in
very cold weather, and the same may be
said of cellar door3. During the winter,
however, there areafew warmdayswhen
the windows may be opened, w liich ad
mits air. If a cellar is kept clpsed there
is liability of dampness, and if open the
frost will enter. If a fire is made in a
stove in the cellar during severe cold
weather the draught will freshen the air
of the cellar, and also carry off the moist
ure. If disease is to be avoided, and the
cellar used for storage purposes, some
attention must be sriven its condition.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, Farmer.
Few people realize that one of the best
known literary men in this country and
also one of the ablest orators of the age
is at the same time a hard-working far
mer. Ignatius Donnelly has a world
wide fame as a scholar, orator, congress
man, debater
and author. At
home he is
known as a well-to-do
farmer.
While he gives

speciality of no parlicular line of farm

eral, and raises any and all things that
will sell. He has not made much money
on the farm, but he has clipped otf reg
ular and large cupons of health, comfort.
pride and contentment. There are farm
products that pay always everywhere.
Mr. Donnelly can make an admirable
after-dinner speecli on any topic in the
range of human intelligence. He would
make an excellent lecturer on the theory
and practice of farming. J. A. T.

The deficiency is chiefly supplied by im

Kerosene applications to the skin of

The amount of salt necessary to be
used in butter is generally accepted as
one ounce of salt to one pound of but
ter; but in salting butter the state
of the weather is to be considered
as well as the preference of the market
In winter less salt is required, and in
some markets butter that is very salt is
not sold as readily as when less salt is
used.
A temperature of from 64 to 66 is nec
essary in churning, and as the weather
becomes cold the churn and cream must
be warmed. The temperature can be
easily regulated by the aid of cold and
warm water to reduce or raise as it is re
quired. The churn itself may be very
cold, and some dairymen pour warm
water into it and then remove it before
putting the cream in.
A recent writer, who keeps about fifty
hens,-claims that he had poor success
the past winter in getting eggs, but is
convinced that the fault was in his not
giving the bens proper care. He has
kept an exact account for two years
past and until this last winter he had
cleared a net profit of $ 1.50 per hen each
year. He packed his eggs in salt, how
ever, and kept them until the market
price reached a high point
The reason of a cow giving bloody
milk is some injury to the udder, gener
ally from bruising or being chased by
boys or dogs. The udder, then full of
milk, h bruised by the legs or coming in
contact with brush or briars, by being
bitten by dogs, parties tlirowing stones
and injuring the udder in fact is the
result of an injury of 6ome kind. It gen
erally yields readily to treatment Keen
the animal quiet in a stable or small pas
ture for a few days and bathe the udder
well twice a day with hot water.
Take good care of the young pigs im
mediately after weaning, is the advice of
the Orange County Farmer. Separate
them from the sow, and see that they
have sweet milk for a few days. Do
not fill the trough in the morning for the
hole day's feed. Give only what will
be eaten up clean, and if any is left clean
it out before giving a resh supply. Feed
four or five times a day for a fortnight
or so. It should be remembered that
wheat middlings mixed with milk make
a most excellent feed for pigs.
One ofthe best and most useful foods
for general purposes for the farmer to
have on hand is linseed meal. For rear
ing calves it is not excelled when mixed
with skimmed milk, and it comes into
frequent play as a constituent of the
food of almost all of our domestic ani
mals. It contains about 20 per cent of
albuminoids or nitrogenous matter, with
19 per cent, of carbhydrates. Those who
have never used it will do well to give it

the farmer will seldom do without it
I don't know, but I think that if
skimmed milk is fed to the hens instead
of the pigs it will yield a greater profit
Our hens get nothing to drink but milk,
and they lay right straight along. One
advantage in butter over milk dairy in
is that the skimmed milk and buttermilk
are left for use on the farm. Another
advantage is that in selling off butter
you carry off none of the farm's fertility.
whereas in selling milk you do. Still
another advantage is that you do not
have to go to market so often. Horses
and wagons cost money. A neighbor of
mine sold milk and kept two wagons ;
as he put it, "he had one wagon on the
road and one at the shop. " Rural New

Science on tha Farm.
One of the simplest articles on fungus
diseases of plants that has yet been pre
pared is Frofessor Humphrey s contri
bution to Bulletin 6 of the Hatch Sta
tion at the Massachusetts Agricultural
College. He treats the matter in gen
eral, and considers in detail the black
spot of rose leaves, black knot of the
plum, and potato blight or rot Pro
fessor Humphrev's work on the latter
subject is attracting considerable atten
tion.
Professor Maynard is very conservative
about the new varieties of strawberrries,
and wisely points out that the large ber
ries demanded by the market can only
be grown under the highest culture, but
many growers have not yet learned that
this is a necessity to profitable strawberry
growing. "The position of many of the
old varieties remains unchanged, and
few, if any, of the new kinds have shown
qualities which make them feuperior to

THE TARIFF BILL AND THE
FARMERS.
National Democrat.
The cordage industry is threaten
ed without any compensating bene
fit to the farmers of the Northwest,
who have been demanding free fibres
and free binding twine. 1 he Mc-
Evinlej bill makes tb.6 duty on bind
ipg twine a ceui and a half a pound,
and while it puts jute and sisal on
the free list, it fixes a duty of $25 a
ton on hemp and hemp or flax tow,
and Mavor Fitler of Philadelphia,
who was ope of the candidates in
Chicago in 188S for the Republican
Presidential nomination, says that
the McKinley bill would, if it bo
came a law, drive to Canada and
Mexico an industry now employing
5,( 00 Imericans.
Tlie duties on imported tobacco
will inflict a serious if not s disas
trous, blow upon a large cigar mak
ing industry.
The woollen industry for a year
past has been in a critical condition ;
ailures have been unprecedented.
The carpet industry has suffered es
pecially. The McKinley bill strikes
a blow at this decaying industry by
raisiug the duties on all grades of
wool. It is attempted to offset this
by increased duties on all woollen
products," but this will simply in
crease tne price to tne consumer :
the higher prices the manufacturer
will have to charge will resist his
sales and leave him worse off than
he is now.
The bounty of seven cents a pound
for cocoons and 81 a pound for raw
silk is a gross injustice to the men
who raise corn and wheat and pota
toes and pork, and not only get no
bounty, but cannot sell their pro
duce at remunerative prices.
These changes of duties are de
signed to make the farmer feel that
his iuterests are being conserved.
They will not accomplish that result
in any appreciable degree because
this country produces an excess of
agricultural CDtnmodities. We can
protect the American manufacturer
against the foreigner because the
foreigner sends goods to this coun
try. Hut our agricultural products
go abroad. We already produce
more than we consume. Within a
short distance of the Canadian bor
der American farmers may feel for
eign competition slightly, but this
does not extend to our agricultural
interests generally. Tne Canadian
barley is imported, not because it is
cheaper, but because it makes bet
ter malt. The price of wheat is fix
ed in London in competition with
the wheat of Russia, India, South
Ameiica and Australia. Corn is not
much exported or imported. Of
pork we produce much more than
we need at home, and Luropean
countries hava closed their ports
against our pork because we have
closed our ports to their products.
American wool is used mixed with
foreign wool, and a blow at the man
ufacturefs of woolens, in the shape
of an increased duty on wool, will
simply re-act against the domestic
wool raisers.
The increase of duty on tin plates
after next year will raise the price on
everv tin pot ana pan : it will raise
the cost of every can of vegetables,
and if the cauners cannot get the in-
cieas.'; out of their customers they
wili get it out of the farmers by pay
ing less for the vegetables they put
up ; it will also raise the price of
everv tin roof and everv sheet iron
roof.
The McKinley" bill is a bill to
raise taxes for the beuefU of the
beef packers of Chicago, a few sheet
iron manufacturers in Pittsburg the
starch tiust, the linseed oil trust,
the lead trust, and 6ome other large
combinations of capital. Eveij the
New York Tribune warns the farm
ers that they will get no good out of
the hide duty.
It is "a tariff for protection, with
iccide, tal revenue," says the New
York Herald, such as the Republi
can platform promised and as all
Republican speakers pledged them
selves to make if the people would
restore them to power.
It is a iniquitous and oppressive
a law us has ever been proposed
since the four.datiou of the Govern
ineut. Every ctn oraf e and capital
ist iiit-itst i but "fried out" finds
its reward in tin- bid, which strikes
at the Lard eamir.gs of the laboring
poor in every pagt.
Houses are inudo dearer by the
increased duty on lime and cement
double the present rates and by
increased duties on brick and tiles
and by higher duties on glass. The
poor Hutu's kitchen is made more
costiy by increased duties on pottery
and on glass ware, that on common
glassware being increased in - som6
cases' more than a hundred per cent;
the poor man's clothing and bedding
are made more costly by heavily in
creased duties on blankets, coating
in fact, on all that he and his wife
and family wear or need to keep
tlem warm in winter or cool in
summer. The poor man's shoe' bill
is increased by the duty on hides,
which is laid to keep an anti-election
bargain of the Republican commit
tee with some Western hide men.
On common window glass, such as
lights the homes of the farmers and
mechanics, the duty, already np to
from sixty to one hundred and sixty
per cent., is heavily increased.
On penknives, pocket knives, ra
zors and that class of cutlery, the
duty, already averaging 50 per cent.,
i- increased to from 65 to 250 per
cent., and again the highest rates
are levied on the cheaper goods
used by the mass of the people.
Table cutlery, now taxed 35 per
cent., is raised to from 50 to 150 per
cent. '25 now 35 per cent., are to
pay from" 50 to 250 per cent., the
higher duties on the cheaper goods.
All kinds of buttons are raised
from 50 to 250 per cent., and tagger
iron, their raw material, is rasied 50
per cent. Clay pipes rise from the
present rate, 35 per cent., to 70 per
cent. On matches the match trust
will be delighted to see the duty
doubled. On wood pulp for print
ing paper, Mr. Warner Miller's spe
cialty, the duty is also doubled.
On cotton ties the duty is nearly
trebled to encourage the negro cotton
raisers. On hoop iron it is largely
increased, and on boiler and other
plate iron their is an increase of
about 40 per cent, Pennsylvania

Ic some respects the South is to

tempt the settler and offer him a
home. She had a reasonably fertile
soil, at a low price, but little more to J
offer. But this allured the multi
tudes from all the quarters of the

SALT FOR CATTLE.
Massachusetts Ploughman
If cattle were forced to eat salt ad
ded to their food it might do them
harm, but it is extremely doubtful
whether they will eat too much salt
if they are allowed free access to it,
and free choice to take it or not.
Salt being an apparent need of the
system, it will help to keep the ani
mal healthy. This will greatly in
crease the flow of milk as well as im
prove its quality. It i3 now believ
ed that salt will do this directly, and
that its judicious use will tend to
improve the churning quality of the
milk. But the salt should be given
regularly, and in accordance with an
unvarying system; if this plan is not
pursued there will be suffering at
one time from a lack of it, and at
another from excess of it. Provide
rock salt, and have a place for it in
rech of the cattle a trough in the
yard or a box at the side of the barn
or stable.
"That tired feeling" is entirely
overcome by Hood's Sarsaparilhu
which gives a feeling of buoyancy
and strength to the whole system.
A TARIFF POEM.
Kingman (Kan.) Democ.-at.
He sat at his door at noonday,
lonely and gloomy and -sad, .brooding
over the price of his corn crop and
figuring how much he had. He had
worked from early springtime, early
and late and hard, and he was count
ing h a assets and figuring out his
reward. He figured that it took two
acres to bu his two boys new boots,
and ten acres more on top cf this to
fit them out with new suits. To buy
his wife a protected dress took 100
bushels more, while five acres went
in a solid Ininp for the carpet on the
floor. His tax and his grocery bill
absorbed his crop of oats, while the
interest on his farm mortgage took
all his fattened sboats. The shingles
on his cowshed and the lumber for
his barn had eaten up his beef steers
and the balance of his corn. So he
sat in his door at noonday, lonely
and gloomy and sore, as he figured
up his wealth a little less than it was
theyear before. "By gam,they say I'm
protected, but I know there's some-,
thing wrong; Pve been deceived and
gulled and hoodwinked by this high
protection song. They told of re
bellious traitors, and held up the
bloody rag, and I followed along like
a pnmpkin, and now I am holding
the bag. But from this time on Til
investigate, and get to the bottom of
facts, and Til bet 84 to begin with
that the tariff is a tax."
CAUGHT BY THE FLOOD.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The overflow of the Yazoo country
of Mississippi and in portions of
Arkansas will probably have a mate
rial effect in checking the immigra
tion of negroes from the Carolinas.
Most of those coming into Southwest
from the Atlantic States settled in
the country around Yicksburg and
Greenville, and went to work on the
river plantations. They had never
seen a flood before, and when the
high water came and the levees
broke, and they were compelled to
seek refuge on them or on any high
place of land they could find, they
were naturally panic stricken at this
difference between their new and
their old homes. That many of them
should wish to return home to Car
olina was natural. They were well
cared for, however, by their employ
ers and will probably get over their
scare ultimately and become accus
tomed to crevasses; but that the
news of the overflow will reach Car
olina and check emigration from
there is to be expected. It is safe
to say that the high water in the
Mississippi and the stories of cre

COW PEAS AND HOG CHOLEI.A
R. II. D. in Country GentlVman.
On a farm where I Lave some very
poor sandy land, I have fenced off
several lots of 30 acres each, and
have late in May, drilleed in one
b'ishel of cowr peas to tLe acres on
two of the lots. As soon as the peas
begin to ripen, I turn in 60 large
hogs and from 60 to 80 shoats and
brood sows. On the farm I have
never lost a hog from cholera. On
my home farm I had in an orchard
2c pure Berkshire shoats, 4 brood
sows and a boar. These were fed
on milk with a small quantity of
corn and as many apples as they
could eat. I lost all the shoats.
three of the sows and the boar. On
a farm two miles from iuv house I
planted an orchard of 20 acres in
cow peas; as they became ripe I turn
ed on them 40 hogs and 50 or 60
shoats and sows. Before kiilin? the
large hogs I fed for two we-ks on
corn. Up to x ebuarv '2'J I had no
hog with cholera on bis farm. At
my mill, a hhlf mile beyond this
farm, the hogs were fed on "mill
stuff" and corn meal mixed. Here I
lost 8 out of 16 fat hogs. Am I to
conclude from this experience that
the peas, used on two f arena, saed
my hogs from cholera.

READ THESE TESMQSIAIi
DYSPEPSIA.
I have for the lat twelve yt-ars been af
flicted with that terrible dLseas dyspep
sia; all the remedies, and I have taken
many, only give partial reht-f. Abont
two years affo I took your "Nolandin"";
since then my health has ben, and r
now, a.s good as it ever was. Can eat in
moderation now food that two years ago
I darvd not touch. At the same time I
was atHk-ted with a disase. I believe, of
the skin; for the last fifteen years it has
bei'n a plague to me. It invariably niadt
its apiearan- in February and lasted
until April. When I got warm in bed it
would comnvwe itching. Ther was no
eruption until I was compelled to scratch,
then a little pimple, not as large as a
pin's head, would apjear, and then my
misery commenced. I have laid many a
cold winter's night without any covering
nntil I could stand the cold no longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatches of sleep. I have not
felt it since taking yonr valuable "Xo
landine," which was taken for dyspepsia,
and I believe that it has cured me of that
plague. I write this to show you I have
been cured by your valuable Nolan
dine," invaluable to me. I do not write
this for publication, but u yon think
it mav benefit anv of vour fellow-men
imilarly afflicted, you may use it as vou
think proper.

To the Nolandine Company:
Permit nie to add mv testimonv to the
curative properties of Nolandine.
r or many years 1 have suffered from
varicose veins, twelve months aco 1
truck mv leg against a chair, breaking
one of the veins. The wound thus made
-ould not be healed except for a short
time; then break out atresh. At times I
iiinered untold niiserv from local lever
and most insufferable burning sensation.
After using two (2) bottles of your " eg
etable Nolandine" the ulcerated places
healed, the swelling disapjieared, natural
sleep was restored, and my nervous sys
tern composed.
As a vermuuge, Aolandme acted spe-ifiv-allyon
one of my 'children. As a
blood purifier and general tonic, yonr
Nolandine has no equal. Gratefully

I feel it but just to recommend your
valuable medicine. "Nolandine,'" for any
trouble caused bv torpid liver, or con
stipation produced by morphine or any
drug used to subdue pain. As a topic
for females it is unsurpass'd.
The above vou are heartily welcome to

BLOOD PURIFIER.
Richmond, Va., October 1, 1886.
To whom it mav concern :
For twelve months I was a fearful suf
ferer from chronic eczema, during which
time I wa in the hands of a most skil
ful phvsician, faithfully using his reme-
di-as, internal and external, without de
riving any benefit whatever. I suffered
night and day with the most intolerable
itching, continuons headache, loss of
sleep, appetite and strength. My kid
neys and nervous system were leartuliy
deranged, and my body was covered with
innumerable boils. Bv taking three (3)
bottles JOHNSTON'S VEGETABLE NO
IANDINE I have been restored, to per
fect health. I regard Nolandine as the
best blood purifier, and the most power
ful tonic ever compounded, and I am not
alone in this belief.

CONSUMPTION DLVRRHCEA.
I feel it mv dutv to make the fact
known, for the benefit of those who may
be suffering as I have done. The late Dr.
Charles Bell Gibson, and other physi
cians in the city, pronounced my disease
consumption diarrhoea, and after three
(3) years of treatment, during which
time I derived no benefit whatever, they
said my complaint was incurable. I was
reduced to a mere shadow by loss of ai
letite, cough diarrhoea, night sweats and
sleeplessness. I tmd not strength to go
up and down sttiirs without assistance.
I had my attention called to your
"Vegetable Preparation, Nolandine,"'
which I commenced taking as directed.
In a few days my relations saw an im
provement in my complexion. My
strength and appetite increased. I le
gau to be hopeful, and I assureyou I was
not disappointed. In the space of twen
ty (20) days 1 gained fixteen (10)
pounds in weight, and have since come
up to my usual weight. I am now en
joying the best of health, thanks to your
most owerful "Nolandine."

J. W. CALDWELL, 5
Richmond, Va. J
Dear Sii- For the benefit oi persons
suffering from Chronic Liver Complaint, I
beg leave to call their attention to your
vegetable preparation, "Nolandine." I
regard it as a "cholagogue," combining
also tonic and renovating properties,
and in this resjiet-t differing from any
medicine I have ever taken.
The effects of your "Nolandine" in my
case, has been on the liver and secretions
identical with calomel; at the same time,
entirely free from nauseating and debili
tating consequences following the use
of that mineral.
I very cheerfully recommend you "No
landine" for the diseases enumerated on
your circulars, and am convinced from
personal benefit derived from its use, that
it must become a standard family medi
cine. lam verv respectfully yours.
