JOHN M. STAHL. 
Adulteration has become as common as corn 
pone. If a man takes a dose of brandy, wine 
or whisky, he gulps down poisonous acids, 
alkalis and salts enough to eat holes through 
anything except his mucous linings. If to 
satisfy the cravings thus created ho eats a 
hearty meal he partakes of uukuowu sub¬ 
stances—deleterious drugs and tilth—miscalled 
food. Very likely the meat of mysteries wars 
with his iu tenia 1 organs, aud, to force the 
combatants to submission, or, at least, to a 
suspension of hostilities, he takes drugs which 
are everything but what they profess to be. 
Possibly the effects of this hypocritical food 
and these alleged drugs are death, a bogus 
shroud, a fraudulent coillu und a lyiug monu¬ 
ment. 
This is truly a sad state of affairs, aud it at 
first, appears to be a little worse for the honest 
farmer than for auyl>ody else. The farmer 
does not adulterate, but all the world besides 
does. The farmer must pay for adulterations 
in all he buys. He thus suffer all the incon¬ 
veniences of humbuggery without reaping any 
of the gains. 
If the farmer chooses, however, lie may 
make this wholesale adulteration work him 
great financial good. The times have changed. 
Public opinion and desire are not what they 
were a few years ago. Then the large towns 
made small demands for those products of the 
farm which require special preparation before 
being sent to market. This may be best, illus¬ 
trated by a few examples. Customers pre¬ 
ferred creamery butter and the products of 
large cheese factories to the butter and choose 
made on the farm. Honey inclosed in orna¬ 
mental glass jars was preferred to that hi the 
comb, as maple sugar, in the same presentable 
shape, was to the home-made product. Hams, 
shoulders, bacon, and corned and dried beef put 
up by large packing establishments sold for 
more than like articles cured iu the country; 
not because t hey were any better, but because 
they were shapely, Inclosed iu neat, tasty 
packages. In time farmers themselves bought 
city-cured meats rather than to cure their own 
pork and beef. Country lard was lower in the 
market thau that produced at large city 
establishments, and the farmer who rendered 
out lard of bis own production could not com¬ 
pete with the city producers. Sauces, jellies 
and canned fruits prepared and put up in the 
city were preferred to those that had a country 
air. In fact, country products, with the ex¬ 
ception of brains, were unfashionable, aud of 
course not wanted by those who could or did 
afford to put on -style. 
But how have the mighty fallen! The city 
manufacturers found it convenient, and withal 
profitable, to adulterate their products. The 
profits were large, and adulteration so easy, 
that they heaped adulteration upon adultera¬ 
tion, ami spoiled it all. It was a tine scheme, 
but, to use an expression not quite so line, they 
ran it into the ground. Consumers soon found 
that what looked so nice was mostly counterfeit 
They also discovered that the products of the 
farm wore genuine, aud are now beginning to 
want hams, shoulders and bacon cured in the 
farmer’s cellar and slowly smoked and partial¬ 
ly dried in his clean, dark smoke-house, im¬ 
pregnated with the odors of burning corncobs 
and hickory bark. There is a grow ing respect 
for the old fashioned corned beef, like that our 
good, dear mothers managed upon the old 
farm. There is a Iso a demand for lard that is 
lard, and not something else. Oleomargarine, 
swine and tallow stearine have had a mighty 
good iuiluence in reinstating clover butter 
made by the hands of winsome country girls. 
Moreover, people now prefer jellies made from 
the pulp and juices of ripe fruit, instead of 
hoofs and hides colored with analineand flav¬ 
ored with drugs. 
This change in popular sentiment grows 
greater each day and the farmer who puts up 
his products honestly and neatly will yet reap 
u harvest of gain from the reaction against 
adulteration, when his own pure productions 
will drive out their adulterated competitors.

Is not a new claimant for popular confi¬

who have come into being since it was 
first offered to the public. 
There is not a household iu which this 
invaluable remedy has once been in¬ 
troduced where its use has ever been 
abandoned, und there is not a person 
who has ever given it a proper trial 
for any throat or lung disease suscep¬

AYKK'S CHERRY PECTORAL has, 
in numberless instances, cured obstinate 
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis, 
and even acute Pneumonia, and has 
saved many patients in the earlier stages 
of Pulmonary Consumption. It is a 
medicine that only requires to betaken in

CUCUMBERS PICKLED WITHOUT SALT. 
My better half says you are entirely wrong 
concerning the impossibility of pickling cu¬ 
cumbers without first salting. She thinks 
yon never had a grandmother. All you have 
to do is to put the cucumbers, after pickling, 
into good, eider vinegar, w ith a little horse¬ 
radish, and place a flat stone on top. After 
standing a few weeks, change the vinegar

Can cucumbers be pickled in vinegar, di¬ 
rectly after being picked, without saltiug. 
(emphatically, yes ! Pick them carefully; put 
them into good cider-vinegar in a stone jar: 
keep them weighted down so as to be under 
the vinegar. Let them remain two or three 
weeks, or until the jar is full; then pour off 
the old vinegar. Take new vinegar, addiug 
such spices as you wish; tic them in a cloth; 
put them into the vinegar aud let it boil (a 
little alum might be put in to make them brit¬ 
tle) ; pour hot over the pickles, and if you do 
not tind ttie cucumbers in gi>od condition at 
the end of a year,—aud "as nice as you ever,” 
etc.,—then 1 must say you can't beat my wife. 
Should a scum form on the vinegar, scald, 
skim, and pour back. w. r. h. 
[Thanks to our readers. Our experience is 
that if the vinegar is strong, the pickles will 
soften; if not strong, they will not keep.— e. m.]

the pulps in a kettle and boil until quite ten¬

out the seeds: then put the pulp and skins 
together and add one pint of sugar to every 
three of the fruit; put over the lire in a jiorie-

sufficiently to keep it from fermentiug. I
