How TO KEEP FLIES FROM HAMS.
Having been much troubled to
keep flies from my hams for many
years (although | have q wide
reputation for making and curing
superior hams) l learned last year
a new method that l wish as many
to become acquainted with as pos
sible. Take the hams down i'm
mediately and coat the flesh side
with pepper, molasses and flour;
put them in a loose bag and press
in the bag fine cut hay, hang them
up again, and you need not fear
bugs and shippers. l have hams
treated in this way, put up last
April and they look like keeping
twenty years in a perfect sound
condition. If bugs and shippers
are already on hams, no treat
ment will prevent the taint. 1t
is evidence the meat has not had
salt and timely care.-Cor. Raral

A gentleman who had carefully
trained up his servant in the
way he should go, SO that when his
wife was present he might not de-
part from it, sent him with a box
ticket for the theatre to a young
lady. The servant returned when
the gentleman and his wife were
at dinner. He had, ofcourse, been
told in giving answers to certain
questions to substitute the mascu-
line for the feminine pronoun in
speaking of a lady.
"Did you see him p said the
gentleman, giving him the cue.

was the reply.

[ PROPRIETOR.
VOL. XV---NO. z.
Bots not Fatal to Horses.

DIR. Stewart, in a late work up
on horses, claims that he has pro-
ven to his entire satisfaction, by
thorough investigation, that bots
do not kill horses. As to the be-
lief SO prevalent among farmers
and others, that bots eat through
the stomach, thus causing death,
Mr.. Stewart says:
"Although the stomach is often
found completely riddled by the
bot as the popular expression is,
there is good reasons to believe
that the work is done entirely af-
ter the horse is Struck by death.
One or two facts will go far to
prove the truth of the proposition
which to many may appear ex-
traordinary.
"The cuticular coating of the
stomach, to which the bot fastens
himself by means of two little
bearded hooks, is nearly, if not
wholly insensible, having no more
feeling, apparently, than the
animals hoofs. When the horse
is in health, it is hard, rigid, i'm
penetrable, and the bot, if ever so
much disposed to do SO, would at
tack it in vain. But when death
seizes him, this coating becomes
relaxed and soft>end begins rapid
ly to decompose. Then only is it
that the bot can or does work his
way through it. Another fact still
more corroborative of the above
proposition is this: that of any
number of horses killed while in
good health, and opened an hour
or two afterwards, there will be
found not one whose stomach is
not 'riddled by the bot Dissec-
ton has revealed the existence of
this condition in hundreds of in
stances OF sudden deaths by acci-
dent"

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, writing from Fort Phil
Kearny, Dakotah territory, draws
a queer picture of the Indians
known as the Mountain Crows,
the whole tribe numbering about
two thousand souls. The writer
says: "The squaws are sometimes
sold to the whites, and pretty
one may be got for a pony. One
of the chiefs offered me his daugh-
ter in exchange for my horse
She was young and pretty, and [
thought cheap at the price, but,
for reasons known to discreet hus-
bands, l declined his generous offer.
They rarely reach the age of fif-
teen years before taking husbands,
and some marry as early as thir-
teen years. When this tribe kill
q buffalo the flesh is eaten while
it is yet quivering with life. A
dozen Indians can finish a buffalo
at one sitting. On Tongue River
/ saw a little squaw put herself
outside of at least fifteen pounds of
buffalo, which performance made
a wonderful change in her personal
appearance"

Save the Strippings.

It is awell known fact that tht
last milk drawn from the cow a
each milking, is the richest of the
mess. . The reason is the same
that the top of a pan of milk which
has stood awhile, is the richest
part of it. The cream being the
lightest part of the milk rises or re.
mains at the top of the udder,
while the heavier, watery por-
ton settles to the bottom, similar
ly, though not as perfectly, as
when set in pan. This richer
portion of the milk being of great
er consistency, settles to the bot
tom of the udder but slowly as the
milk is drawn off. Hence, after the
first flow of milk has ceased, or
while the milker is drawing from
the other half of the udder, a new
accumulation is found in the part
first drawn. This will be found
nearly all cream, and when the OBJ
ject is butter making, this should
be drawn into a small vessel by it.
selG and strained directly into the
cream-pot and thoroughly mixed
with the cream. The cream from
the main bulk of the milk will
rise more readily and the separa-
ton be more complete for being re-
lieved of so much of the cream in
the start, and the part thus taken
away will not be exposed to the
deteriorating influence of the milk
as it gets sour or cold, and the gen.
eral result will be better butter and
more of it. A half pint or SO from
each cow, of the very last you can
get, is generally enough to save
out.
Some people milk in such hur-
ry that they never get the strip
pings at all, and thus not only lose
the best part of the milk, but soon
spoil the cow. Whether you keep
them separate or not, be sure that
you save the strippings. Milk
but don't quit until you
get the strippings.

Burying Alive.

Some curious facts about the
crime of "Samadh," or burying
alive, as practised in Rajpootana,
India, have just seen the light.
The political agent of Serohi fur
nishes list of instances in the
course Of six years that have come
to his knowledge, chiefly in the
neighborhood of Motagaon, a bor-
der village. The practice is also
carried on, we are assured, in the
adjoining State of Marwar. Out
of nine cases Of Samadh reported,
eight of the victims were lepers,
the other having been sacrificed,
no doubt at his own desire, on ac-
count of old age and poverty
The Rao of Serohi has issued a
proclamation forbidding the prae-
tice, under the penalty of ten
years Imprisonment. His high
ness will no doubt do all he can
to put his prohibition IN force, but
there are very great difficulties in
the way cf carrying out such or
ders. In many of the cases the
persons who dig the pit and cover
up the unfortunate wretch are
themselves lepers, and to them
death itself would be welcome,
and wepresume the Rao will hard
ly care to introduce any of them
into his prisons. Itwould be well
if some sort of lazaretto were er-
ected in Serohi, or any other state
where the practice is supposed to
be carried on. The cases of lepro-
sy are not very numerous, and the
additional expenses to the state
would be but trifiing.

effect of a dose of salts; when used
for washing it peels the skin off

soap can be made with it, a lump
of grease and a stick to stir it up
being all that is necessary for the
manufacture.

A Federal officer at the battle Of
Belmont, Missouri, marked out d
Confederate soldier, who was con-
spicuous for his gallantry, and shot
him. He noticed where he fell,
and the next day was sent back by
the defeated Federals with a party
to bury their dead, he sought his
victim, and upon turning the body
over, found to his horror, that he
had shot his own brother. Such
was the war waged upon the South.

in Chattanooga, was asked for an
epitaph ON Brownlow, taking for

But hell is in fry.
