There is talk of a convention of
North-e&atern farmers with a view to an
organization by which the price of farm
produce may be controlled.
A Wisconsin man has recently pa*tented
a machine for picking cranberries
by horse power.
The Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce
are already alarmed about their
capacity to Btore the 40,000,000 bushels
of surplus grain they calculate upon
seeking a market there. A special committee
have had the matter under advisement.
Mr. Dougherty, the keeper of a hotel
in Greensboro/Ga., sold last year $114
worth of Bermuda grass hay, from a
measured acre of land in the outskirts
of the village. This year he has sold
the first cutting for $50, and he thinks
the seoond cutting will yield a larger
amount.
The latest prescription for the potato .
bug is gas lime, sprinkled over the
vines when they are wet with dew or
rain. One who tried this cure in a gar-,
den "where the leaves were almost covered,"
says the effect was wonderful,
and the next day not a Doryphora was
to be seen, " the last solitary straggler
having quietly stole away."
The flesh of the best goat in the
world is inferior to that of sheep as mutton,
and goats are subject to diseases of
as troublesome a character as those peculiar
to sheep. A sheep can be raised
as easily as a goat, and wool is a vast
staple for which there is a world-wide
market. Sheep are more docile than
goats, and more manageable.
F. G. McCauley, West Salem, Ohio,
writes to The Western Rural: I Baw a
beetle attack a Colorado slug and kill it.
The beetle was of the genus Coleoptera,
6heath wings, steel blue; thorax diamond
shapo and flesh oolor ; head flesh
color ; six-legged, antepnse about onethird
the length of the body; nimble
in action; it was not as large as the
slug, but much stronger ; it killed the
slug for its juices.
A New England Farmer correspondent
tells the boys that the way to get a
woodchuck out of a stone wall without
tearing it down is to take a piece of
wire about three feet long, place both
ends in one hand, and put the curve at
the creature's nose. He will usually

When a horse coughs as soon as he
commences to eat his hay or grain, it
may be taken to be a case of inflammation
of the bronchial tubes, which, if
not corrected, will soon result in difficulty
of breathing, known as heaves.
Feeding dustv or moldy hay has frequently
caused bronchitis, or a chronic
cough which has ended in a case of
heaves impossible of cure, and only relieveu
by a total change of feeding.
It has hitherto been the custom in
Franco to use in the harvest field for
sheaves bands prepared from rye straw,
and sold at 50 francs per 1,000. But
these rarely served beyond a single season,
and suffered also from the attacks
of rats and mice. The plan at present
coming into favor is to use bands made
of tarred cord, with a light wire hook
at one end and a series of knots at the
other t6 bite into it. These sell at the
rate of 50 to 80 francs per 1,000, hold
good for four years, and, after binding
the sheaves, are used to bundle the
straw when threshed. A binder, it is
said, executes three times more work
by having the bands prepared. The
hook end is kept under the left foot
when the sheaf is to be tied, the binder,
by means of a hand crook in light iron,
draws the knotted end under the band
itself and home to the hook.
The Cotintv Fair.
It seems to us that no farmer of any
intelligence can afford to ignore his
county fair. It is proper to say this
here and now, since the fall fairs are
Boon to open. When wc say " ignore,"
we do not menn that it is enough that
the farmer shall attend the fair as evidence
of recognition. He should show
something thereat. Why? Because,
theoretically, at least, the county exhibition
is an index of the county's agri
cultural condition, of the enterprise of
its fanners, of their skill and care ascultivators,
of the character of their
live stock, of the elements of wealth,
natural and acquired, with which they
operate. The stimulus of local pride
alone ought to be sufficient to load the
tables with field, orchard, garden, dairy,
and household products. Local pride
is a good thing. It should be cultivated.
Its demonstrations are always
good investments, since the reputation
of a locality depends in a large degree
thereupon. County and township fairs
are excellent places whereat to make
such demonstrations. The stranger
looks upon the fair as a means of forming
judgment; but he ofien errs, because
it is too often the fact that the
best farms and farmers are in 110 sense
represented at the local fairs. They lay
back and growl and grumble because
the fair management is in bad hands,
or is not managed " on the square," or
because fairs arc "played out." Unfortunately,
fairs are playing out because
the best men hold themselves
aloof from them.
Freih Mutter In Winter.
As a general thing, butter is scarce
during the winter season, and fresh
butter bears a high price. By taking
proper measures, which include having
. the cows to come in from October to
January ; a warm, comfortable stable,
a frost-proof dairy, clover hay cut iu
blossom and well saved, a supply of
arrets, perfect cleanliness in the stable,
and a plentiful supply of water free
from ice or snow, with daily drinks of
bran or oatmeal slop slightly warmed,
the dairy may be made as prolific and
far more profitable than in the summer.
The butter will be yellow, hard, and
will keep fresh longer, and from its
scarcity at that season, would bring a
very high price.
Fruit.
Pears, when left to ripen upon the
tree, are soft, but often destitute of fine
flavor. It is recommended to gather
them several dayB before they are to be
eaten, and place them in * the dark,
taking care that they do not touch each
other. Many persons put them between
layers of dry flannel in a warm room.
When they have become mellow and
brightly colored they are delicious.
Peaches are different; they are best
when eaten ripe from the tree. Grapes
are usually served upon the table as a
dinner dessert, but perhaps they are
really relished most when eaten as a
first course at breakfast; their cooling
juice is then peculiarly grateful. Melons
also are best at the morning meal.
Plenty of good, ripe, fresh fruit is the
most wholesome and agreeable food for
the lummer season.
There were four lives lost by the Belle
Vernon disaster.
A Spirited Girl.
A St. Paul P*ptf Tell? the Story.
Some days ago a respectable matron tl
of St. Paul, Minn., who advertised in a f(
paper of that city for a girl to do gen- "a
eral housework, was aghast at finding ^
in the first applicant for employment a ^
fine-looking young woman, not only c,
dressed in the latest fashions, but also ^
having the manners of the best society, h
Anticipating at least a demand for the *
use of piano and sewing-machine) nbfc &
to speak of hot and cold water and sta- P
tionary washdUbs, from a handmaiden tl
of this superlative description, the dis- h
comfited old lady was beginning an tl
agitated rejection of her visitor, when, tl
to her increased embarrassment, the b
latter suddenly burst into tears jmd b
fairly begged to be employed. She ?
asked it only for a feW days, she said, tl
until she Could write to her friends, and e:
then poured her whole story into the tl
ears of the astonished matron. Her h
home was near St. Louis, where recent d
parental infirmities made it neeCs&ary g
for her to contribute something to the b
maintenance of the family; and, having n
seen in a St. Louis journal an adver- ?
tisement for a governess, which some b
unknown friend sent marked to her, she n
had answered the same with an applies- 11
tion. To her delight she was at once h
accepted by the gentleman advertising, d
who wrote, however, that it would be 8<
necessary for her to go up the river to h
St. Paul, where his family were spend- ^
ing the summer, and directed her to tl
take the steamboat from St. Louis on a tl
certain day, that he might meet her
thereon further up the country, where b
he was tarrying on businessi tn the 11
flush and expectancy of her first effort 8;
away from home she had taken no ac- ^
count of the peculiarity of this pre- ?
liminary arrangement, but gone upon b

designated her employer did come ^
aboard as promised, and proved, to her B
consternation, to be a certain eccentric a
and rioh old widower of her acquaint- 0
ance, whom, under his true name, she P
had several times checked in matri- ^
monial overtures. ?
Noting her dismay when he intro- y
duced himself as her late advertising ?
correspondent, he reminded her that j>
any sensational demonstration on her
part would only make her a subject of d
scandal to the other passengers, and J5
volunteered to refrain from addressing "
her again until St. Paul was reached.
At the latter place, when, in her help- "
less bewilderment, she followed some r<
of her fellow-voyagers to the nearest e:
hotel, she was politely but firmly in- J*
formed by her daring abductor that if
she did not now listen to his often-re- w
peated suit and consent to an immediate n
marriage with him her situation was ?
such that she must be gravely compro- *
mised for life. By this time, however, ff
she had recovered her self-possession ; 7
and, fiercely indignant at the plot prac- J1
tised upon her, she so spurned and up
braided the dotard that he left her pres- j*
ence in a towering passion. Then, see- "
ing in the newspaper the advertisement P
for a servant-girl, she hastily decided to
make that a medium of appeal for help t(
to some motneriy soul, wno migut be e
willing to grant her shelter and protection
until she could write to her family.
Upon hearing her story, thus related,
the matron readily granted the harbor .
and guardianship asked. Inquiry on 1
the St. Louis boat and at the hotel re- f
suited in the substantiation of essential h
points of the narrative, and in a few j
days there came a brother frem St.
Louis, to rescue his sister from her 0
painful situation and vow condign fu- e
ture vengeance upon her fugitive perse- v
cutor. *
Alcohol Is Foods e
Liquor fattens ; whiskey is a good j;
tonic; bitters aid digestion. These are j
statements made every day with con- 1;
siderable confidence and in a manner T
well calculated to impose on a certain a
class of minds; hence it is well that v,
the friends of temperance should have
at hand the weapons of their warfare R
against the liquor traffic.

our horses ? ' e
If liquor fattens, why not give it to c

If whiskey is a good tonic, that is,

many whiskey-drinkers, the men who *
are always full and never empty, eat so J
little ; and on the contrary, almost live
on whiskey ? Give them plenty of '
whiskey, and they want notning else .
but leisure to drink it ?

Death of Mr. Sothern's Victim. 6
Actor Sothern's car difficulty in Cali- *
foruiu, says a local paper of recent j
date, has unfortunately ended fatally. ,
James Lawson is dead. Sad as the i
whole affair is, no one can possibly \
blame Sotheru. He was suddenly and
savagely struck, while quietly expostu- (
lating with Lawson, a man over six feet *
two inches high, and almost double his
weight. Even then, according to the ^
conductor's evidence, although bleeding
profusely from the mouth aud nose, he !
kept his temper, but remained as firm '
as ever in his determination to have his 1 j
nrivnte ear to himself. A second time .
he requested Lawson .to leave, and a
second time did Lawson make a rush at
him while his back was turned, as he
urged the conductor to keep passive.
The second cowardly attack did at last
rouse him, and, turning around rapidly,
Sothern gave him two or three stinging
blows, then closed with him, and tinallv
administered a rapid " cross buttock/'
intending to throw him on the platform,
but the man's struggles called for more
force, and he was thrown over the chain
at the end of the car. A compound
fracture of the right leg and internal
injury were the result. Mr. Sothern's
departure is unavoidably postponed, but
no one can doubt the verdict of the ,
coroner's jury. ^

Powder in His Pocket.
The Reese River Reveille Las the fol>wing,
which serves to exhibit the ei- i
avajahces of far Western humor: "A 1

vocations in the mines of Lander Hill, t
lought he would take home a. little $

oor, he knocked the bowl of the meer;haum

to put it in the same pocket with

He asked her if it wasn't a beauiful
evening, and then she inquired
ow he liked the dress Miss Brown wore
1 church last Sunday. He said he didn't
ke it a bit, and she remarked that Miss
trown was a stuck-up thing anyhow ;
nd all this time that pipe was insiduusly
burning its way through that
aper. He agreed that Miss Brown
as somewhat stuck-up, and said maye
we'd strike it pretty soon, and then
ou'd see who would wear plug hats,
he told him she thought plug hats ?o
ecomitig, and then he was going to tell
er he adored her; that she was the
arling of his soul, and that all his
appiness was centered in her No. 7

rose from the floor and inquired if the
ghtning had struck anybody else, and
^marked something about the Virginia

A Hebrew's Opportune Wit. i
Coming out of the Benedictine 1
luseum, says Maury, in a letter from
'ranee, pause a moment opposite the
ouse No. 9 and admire the wit of a
[ebrew who was very nearly hanged
ver the doorway, in the year 1825, but
scaped by his presence of mind. He
raa a peddler, and had shrugged his
houlders at the legend of the Precious
Hood, just then in more repute than
ver, for Charles X. had lately come to
he throne, and the Jesuits ruled men's
ouls and bodies. Tho good folk of
''ecamp took immediate measures for
inching the Hebrew, there and then,
rith the leather strap that girt his pack,
nd the noose was already round his
leek, when he roared to be allowed to
lip his lips in holy water from the
ource at No. 10 rue de l'Aumone. His
equest was graciously acceded to,
iwing to the remark of somebody presnt
that the water would probably
hoke him. But the infidel had no
ooner drank than he tossed both arms
.loft and vowed that he was cured of
. chronic rheumatism that had afflicted
dm for the last ten years. Tho miracle
ras too good to be lost, so the Jew was
eleased on promising to be christened
he next day, and he disappeared myseriously
the same night. His name
ras Jacob Cohen, and it is to be hoped
hat he succeeded in life as he deserved
o do.
A Case of Personation.

Daily News writes : " A rare if not

to 1 do his prison' within any
easonable time convenient to himself,

iavs : ' I have come to constitute myiclf

and he is received and stowed

inder these circumstances that people

;ver, the idea appears to be a new one.
M. Gault and his wife, the cabarcticrs

lisagreeable for Madame to go to jail,
ind foolish, moreover, since for a trivial

A Nervous Officer.
A good story has been told of a lispng
officer in the United States Army
laving been victimized by a brother
ifficer (who was noted for his cool delibsrations
and strong nerves), and his
jetting square with him in the followng
manner. The cool joker, the capain.'was
always quizzing the lisping
ifficer, a lieutenant, for his nervottsiess...
""VHiy," said he, one day, in the
iresence of his company, "nervousiess
is all nonsense ; I tell vou, lieuenant,
no brave man will be nerVlUS."
" Well," inquired his lisping friend,
' how would yon do, thpose a shell with
in inch futhee thould drop itthelf in a
vailed angle, in which you had taken
belter from a company of tharpthooerth,
and where it was certain, if you
>ut out your nothe, you'd get pepperid
? "
" How?" said the captain, winking at
he circle. " Why, take it cool, and spit
in the fusee."
The party broke up, and all retired except
the patroL The next morning a
lumber of soldiers Were assembled on
Via naroila anrl folk in or in ftliiafArfl
Then along came the lisping lieutenmt.
Lazily opening his eyes, he renarked
:
" I want to try an experiment thith
norning, and thee how extheedingly
500I you can be."
Saying this, he walked deliberately
nto the Captain's quarters, where a
Ire Was burning on the hearth, and
jlaced in its hottest centre a powder
janister, and instantly retreated. There
vas but one mode of egress from the
juarters, and that was upon the paradejround,
the road being built up for defense;
the occupant took one look at
;he canister, comprehended his situa;ion,
and in a moment dashed at the
loor, but it was fastened on the out>ide.
"Charley,let me out if you love me!"
ihouted the captain.
"Thpit on the canither I" shouted
le, in return.
Not a moment was to be lost; he had
it first snatched up a blanket to cover
^ess, but now, dropping it, he raised
;his window, and out he bounded, sans
:ulottes, sans everything but a very
ihort nnder-garment, and thus, with
iair almost on end, he dashed upon a
full parade-ground. The shout "which
jailed him brought out the wholo barracks
to see what was the matter, and
;he dignified captain pulled a sergeant
in front of him to hide himself.
"Why didn't you thpit on it?" in
|UUOU tue ucuiciiuab.
" Because there were no sharp-shootBrs
in front to stop a retreat," answered
the captain.
"All I got to thay, then, ith," said
the lieutenant, "that you might have
thafely done it; for I'll thware there
wathn't a thingle grain of powder in
it!"
The captain has never spoken o!
nervousness since.
A Race for his Scalp.
Mr. Lester B. Piatt, a resident oi
Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, who if
also a Tale divinity student, has beer
spending his summer vacation on th(
Western Plains. Soon after reaching
Genoa, Nebraska, ho was invited by tht
Pawnee chief to accompany his tribe or
their annual hunting expedition. Die
carding the apparel of the effeminat<
civilization, our young "theolog" don
ncd the Pawnee costume, and for th<
nonce became a regular Indian. Whih
the Pawnees were on their homewarc
jaunt, heavily laden with game, thei
were suddenly surprised by a larg<
body of their ancient enemies, tin
Sioux. The Pawnees, though fightinf
bravely, were overpowered, scattered
one-fourth of their number slaughtered
and the remainder pursued until dark
ness concealed them, when they es
caped. Young Piatt was captured b^
the Sioux after giving the last shot ii
his locker. Ho would have been scalp
ed, but the Sioux Chief forbade it, und
pointing him to the Republican river
bade him run for his life. He did, ani
saved it, escaping unhurt among tin
pursuing bullets. He will soon returi

Having a Little Fun.
Don't be afraid of having a little fui
in the family. A merry disposition i
a god-send to a home. There's the casi
of a man on Nelson street, Danbury,fo
instance. Saturday he went into tin
kitchen ahead of his wife, and seeinj
firn m'nu flfiinmincr rm flu
table lie hastily concealed them in tin
ice-chest, which stood open in the bad
hall. Then he went down town chuck
ling to himself, and ten minutes late
the ice cart drove up and the ice mm
brought in a fifty pound cake, and start
ed for the ice-chest, followed closely b;
the fond wife expatiating upon tli
"muss." He put the cake upon th
edge of the chest, and gave it a pus]
over, and when it came down on thosi
two steaming pies, a huckleberry geyse
followed, and the ice man with eyes am
face full of the discharge, tumbled com
pletely over the woman, nnddisappenret
out of the door. The wife recoverei
her balance as speedily as possible, am
catching up a broom went after the ic
man, but he escaped her; then she cam
back and looked in the ice-chest, am
down at the oil-cloth, and up at th
ceiling, and around on the walls. Th
men at the store who were let into th
joke by the facetious Nelson stieet mnu
are anxiously wondering now it turnci

Hints for Young Mothers.
The three requisites for babies or
plenty of sleep, plenty of food, plent
of flannel. The saying that man is
bundle of habits is as true of babies, o
it is of grown children. If an infant i
accustomed from its birth to sleep froi
of nifrM until davlicht. th
habit of early sleep will bo formed, an
the mother may have all her evening
to herself. If the baby sleeps all nigh
a long morning nap will naturally con;
about dinner time, after which the chih
except when very young, should be kej
awake until six o'clock. Perseveram
in this routine will sood result in secu
ing quiet evenings for both the chil
and parent. Some mothers have a lor
season every morning and every nigl
in getting the baby asleep. They roc
them and sing to them till Morphet
enfolds them. With most children tL
is entirely unnecessary. An infant ct
be accustomed, by a few days' trainini
to go to sleep itself for a morning nn
as well as for the longer rest at night.Exchange.

Disinfectants.
Herr Eckstein, of Vienna, strongly
recommends chloride of lime as the
cheapest ahd best of all disinfectants.
His experiments with various substances
used for this purpose show some curious
results. Thus, two pounds of sulphate
of iron, dissolved in water and poured
into a saucer, at first liberated sulphuretted
hydrogen, and after 12 hours
no longer produced any effect; a solution
of sulphate of copper behaved in
the same manner ; two pounds of crystals
of green vitriol retained its action
for two days ; a mixture of sulphates of
iron and copper and carbolic acid lasted
two days ; sulphurous acid was suffocating,
and ceased to act in one day ;
and carbolic acid produced a worse odor
in the house than the bad gasses that
proceeded from the sewet.
Destruction ix Disguise.?It is a fact
that mixtures of bad liquors and acid
astringents are often given for medicines.
They are potent to destroy! and
may be safely warranted to ruin, morally
and physically, any human being that
sticks to them long enough. More
drunkards have been made by these
villainous concoetions. labelled medicines,
than by the liquors |of Commerce.
Alcoholic poisons, advertised
as remedies, are more mischievous than
tavern drams. For intermittent and remittent
fevers, as well as for all other
diseases which these fiery frauds are
falsely certified to relieve, Dr. Walker's
Vinegar Bitters, the ne plus ultra of
vegetable medicines, is a positive cure.

J Dr. J. Walker's California Yin|
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetabk*
i preparation, made chiefly from tbe no>
tire herba found on the lower ranges of
> she Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
uia, the medicinal properties of whick
are extracted therefrom without the oso
' of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked. ''What is the cause of the
i unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit- \
tersT" Our answer is, that they remove
tko cause of disease, and the patient recovers
his health. They are the great
i blood purifier and a life-giving principle.
i a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
. of the system. Never before in the
, history of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remorkablo
' qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir to. They
are a gentlo Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walker's
Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, %
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Alterative,
and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar
Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant
that ever sustained tho sinking
system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed
by mineral pAisod or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious. Remittent and Intermittent
Fevers, which are so prevalent
In the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
- ' AI*1a IfiooAiipi
those ot toe Mississippi, vuw, mux*, .,
= Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland,Arkansas,
Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande,
e Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, RoJ
anoke, James, and many others, with
- their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so daring seasons
of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive derangements
of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful
influence upon these various or^ans,
is essentially necessary. There
A is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark- ,
- colored viscid matter with which the
> bowels are loaded, at the same time
2 stimulating the socretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can take bold
Iof a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head,
ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste
I in the Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation
of tho Heart, Inflammation of the
^ Lungs, Pain in tho region of the Kid!n
ueys, and a hundred other painful symp?
toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee
n. of its merits than a lengthy advertise?
ment.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Uleers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
* Inflammations, .Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc.
t, In these, as in all other constitutional DisHI
eases, Walker's Vjsboar Bittbrs have
shown their great curative powers in the
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory- and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit*
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
i the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Disease*
ib are caused by Vitiated Blood. q
? Mechanical Diseases.? Persons en..
paged in Paints and Minerals, such as
?: Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
or Miners, as they advance in life, are subject
* to paralysis of tho Bowels. To guard
? against this, take a dose of Waikbe's Vihboar
Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter,
Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Decolorations of the Skin, Humors
1 and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of the system in a short time by the use
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
i lurking in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no asi
thelminitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or singio, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or tho turn of life, theaa Ionic
Bitters display so decided an influenco that
_T improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever
you find its impurities bursting through
ai. tho skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or ?ores,
?? cleans? it when you find it obstructed and
im sluggish in the veins; cleanso it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
tar the blood pure, and the health of the system
irl* will follow.
