We desire to call the attention of
our city council and citizens general
ly to the policy pursued and the ac-
ton recently taken by some cities
relative to building up manufactures.
The city council OF st. Joseph has
passed resolution inviting manufac.
lures to locate there and plcdging
that their property shall be exempt
from taxation Tor a period Of ten years.
The St. Joseph Union is happy over
this and says:
each manufacturing establish.
ment in our midst stimulates indus
try, brings population, makes de-
mand for horses, increases trade,
creates demand for exchange and
banking; in short. makes business for
clerks, business for teamsters, bust.
ness for traders, business for rail-
roads, business for everybody, and
keeps money in circulation
Every word OF which is true and
as applicable to Sedalia as to St. 10.
seph. In Springfield handsome
sum has been raised by private SUBJ
! scription to secure the establishment
there Of a first class steam Touring
mill, and one citizen has offered an
acre of ground on which is fine wa
ter power. While other places are
making efforts of this kind Sedalia
ought not to be asleep. We have
splendid advantages here as manu-.
featuring point, and If proper energy
and liberality are used manufactures
can be got here. We hope ere long
to see united effort made in this
direction. Sedalia will never be-
come what she ought to DO with
out manufactures Tor she canno,
prosper greatly and permanently on
railroads along.-Sedalia Times.

COOKING THE FOOD.

As to cooking food for hogs, where
it is possible, without an outlay for
fuel that is beyond all proportion to
the gam from the process it should
be always done. In most Of the
States, and everywhere among small
farmers, t.ere is no excuse for feed
ing whole grain, unless it has leen
boiled. .sseas ~ Hafs

FEEDING.

Fattcning a dozen hogs ourselves
annually, tor at least ten years, it has
been demonstrated that when the
hogs are fed from trough, each AM.
NAL should have an equal chance at
the food. We have achieved this by
dividing the trough into spaces, equal
to the number OF animals, and OF sui.
ficicnt width for the hogs head, but
not mis- shoulders, so that each one
would stand separate and indepen.
dent while eating, and not have It in
hrs power to crowd others out, by
gfeater strength. or by getting him.
self lcngthwise, when endwise is the
rule.
This principle should govern in
feeding every where-givlng to each
animal an equal and the same chance
The heavier q hog is fed when the
fattening is commenced, if not over
ted, the better. The philosophy o.
this is simple. Il takes certain
amount OF food. to support ANNA
life, and the moro the organism o.
animal can dispose Of, besides this
the better, and the greater the pro
portionate saving and the proper
,ionate gain. -.
TO preserve the health and in
crease the appetite, it is very desira
ble that there should be an occasion
al change in diet, and, what is mor'
important, that the animals be fet
with great regularity. Three time
a day, we believe to be better tina,
two, although among the most sus
cessfll feeders there is an homes
difference OF opinion.

COMFORT.

Eastward, where the number o.
animals rarely reaches twenty, which
any one farmer fattens, they are gen,
orally confined in pen, at one end
OF which is sleeping apartment, and
at the other the arrangement for
feeding, and generally a slough
throu gh which they are forced to 60
several times a day, lying between.
When the cold weather comes, this
involuntary porridge- bath is disa-
grecablc. Worse than tins, the bed
for the hogs is rarely, if ever in a
suitable condition. They are forced
to lie uneasily, aud not unfrequently
cold, which makes a difference clear
ly demonstrate in tho pounds Of
pork which the food produces.
At the West, where the humber OF
swine in single herd reaches hun
dreds, and the field wherein they are
fed is ample, they escape, to con.
siderable degree, the mud, but are
generally less cared for in the way Of
shelter than at the East.
All this should be changed. The
hog should he provided with com.
Portable quarters in every respect,
and no two days should ever pass
without careful examination to asccr.
tain immediate needs, and prompt
attention thereto.

Well Paid Women.


The New York correspondent of the Bos
ton Post writes:
working women, as class. that is
shop girls, store girls, etc., are not, of
course. so well paid as men, but some re-
ceive very good salaries nevertheless. Fe-
male telegraphers, for instance, are paid
from SIS IS $50 a week. A first class sew
ing machine operator can earn SIS a week
though the majority do not earn more than
half that Good female teachers in private
and public schools get from 5000 to 1000
year. The better class of dressmakers
and foreTomen in sewing establishments
avearge $500 to 5000 year, and some re-
ceive as mnch as 81, 200. There are several
women employed as book keepers at salar-
les of from SIC to $50 week, and their
places are just as secure as those of men.
But all these women have had to learn their
business thoroughly. Most of them count
enough years to be considered old maids
from twenty-eight TO fOrty-but thev have
not given up the hope of getting husbands.
And can say, from observation, that those
who do get husbands make excellent wives
There is no giddiGess about them and very
little extravaganza, and the moment they
settle over household they make every
thing tidy and comfortable and keep it so.
don't know any class of women more de-
sirable as wives for men who want agreea-
ble homes and a chance to have something
for a rainy day than the old maids of
thirty, or thereabouts, who have rosponsi-
bic positions as employees in stores and
workshops. There are several hundred
women in New York who earn more money
every year than an edual number of fairly
qualified men, and they do not have to
work very hard either. But what they Go
they do well, having learned their calling
thoroughly and drilled themselves into
system.

American HYperbOle.

a natty little book has Just come over
from London, entitled "Reminiscences OF
America; by Two Englishmen," which de-
scribes the manner in which the twain
rippled through the country, what they
saw in the country, and what they heard
in the streets. As instances of the "hyper-
bole of the country they record the fol-
lowing:
In describing the large trees of the
Yosemite Valley, one said that sit took
two men and a boy to see the top OF
them" One being asked by q friend if he
saw a certain MOSQUITO on the weather
vane of the State House % at st. Louis,
answered, "Yes, l see it winking." A
third, in describing the prices OF carriages
at Niagara, asserted that the "haek 1ares
are so high that the Falls are insignificant
by comparison"
Another story is related, with the ap-
pearGnce of truth, of a boy who was
watching his school-fellows as they snow
balled an old gentleman's windows. The
old gentleman rushed out of his house,
determined, if possible, to inhict some Sc
we're corporeal punishment on the offender
saying when he caught the boy, "Now,

How 10 CarYe.


Carving is very desirable accompIis b
ment for both ladies and gentlemen, and
should be taught. One cannot learn it by
tuition, but By practice, joined by q small
slice of theory. 1t is true that the French
style of serving the meat sliced is fast ban
ishing the necessity of carving at the table
of the rich; but in middle life, where such
elegancies are not practised, knowledge
Of carving should be part Of boys or
girls education. How often do We hear a
person say: "Oh, excuse me, can't carve;
l never tried" Or, if it be attempted,
one soon finds himself sadly embarrassed.
He grasps the finite and fork desperately.
He has learned that slice of breast of a
turkey is dainty; that a wing is good; the
second joint also; that the leg is not so
good. But it is not an easy task to sepa-
rate them, and he thinks he would rather
chop wood than dress turkey. He does
not know that on the back lies delicate
morsel called the opster, and the side
bones below the second joint are consid-
cred tit-bits. This must be taught him.
Ladies ought especially to make carving q
study; at their own home the task often de-
wolves upon them, and they should
be able to perform it with ease
and not be forced to accept the
assistance of visitors, who would prob
ably dread the operation. The platter
should be placed so near the carver that he
has full control over it.; if far off, nothing
can prevent an ungraceful appearance. A
sharp knife is requisite, and thin and we'll
tempered blade. In carving turkey, cut of
the wing nearest to you first, then the leg
and second joint: then slice the breast until
a rounded, ivory-shaped piece appears, in
sert the knife between that and the bone
and separate them; this part is the incest
bit of the breast; next comes the ''merry
thought" Alter this, turn over the bird
little, and just below the breast you will find
the oyster, which you separate as you did
the inner breast. The side bone lies be-
side the rump, and the desired morsel can
be taken without separating the whole
bone. Proceed the same way with the
other side. The fork need not be removed
during the whole process. An experienced
carver will dissect fowl as easy as you can
break an egg or cut potato. He retains
his seat, manages his hands and elbows
artistically, and is perfectly at ease. There
is no difficulty in the matter; it only re-
quires knowledge and practice, and these
snould be taught in the family, each child
taking his or her turn. Chickens and
partridges are carved in the same way.

WISHING.
By JOHN G. SAKE.

OF all the amusements of the ralno'
From logic uown to fishing,
There isn't one that you can ma
So very cheap as "wishing;
A very choice diversion, too,
If we but rightly use 1t,
And not, as we are aptto 90,
Peryert it, and abuseit.
A uish-a common wish indeed
Nv purse was somewhat fcrter,
rhaf might cheer the child Of need,
And not my pride to flatter
That might make oppression reel,
ksonly gold can make il,
And break the tyrant's rod of. steel,
as only gold cen break it.
1 wish-that sympathy ami love,
And every human passion
That has its ori in above,
Would come and keep in fashion;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
We're buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean. ..-Hr-
wish-ihat friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
wish the good were not 50 few,
wish the bad were fewer;
Iwish that persons ne'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
I wish that practicing was not
So different from prescning..
vish-that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor:
wi b that innocence were free
From treachery and SANDER;
wish that men their VOWS would mind;
That women ne'er were rovers;
I wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers.

The haggard, drawn countenance of Sam
son Harris wife saluted them as they hur-
ried up to the door of the hut, and in that
encounter, where each sought for news or
hope, it was plain enough to read the bit
ter tidings written in each anxious face.
Anderson turned away with grean, and
was proceeding toward the dense scrub,
when Sampson called to him to halt, as he
kicked at the black shepherd to rouse him
from his deep sleep.
Ten minutes after, with Teddy leading
the way, they were examining the ground,
step by step, in the hope of finding the
track by which Mary had entered the scrub,
but the grass was so trampled in every di-
rection that the task seemed hopeless.
Footprints and trails there were lacing and
interlacing, one destroying the identity OF
the other; but though seeking as it were
entirely in the dark, they pressed on hour
after hour. Ever and again, either the
father or Anderson shuddeTed when they
came upon some spot where blood sullied
the green herbage with its crimson stains,
and when such place occurred, they traced
the blood spots tremblingIy, and in dread
lest they should stumble in their next step
upon the body of her they sought.
But no such narrowing sight met their
gaze; and still to and fro they searched,
shouting at intervals, till night again puts
stop to their efforts.
Day after day passed of indefatigable
search, and the thought occurred again and
again to Samson that the blacks must have
dragged the poor girl of with them in their
retreat; but Teddy would not hear to it,
saving. ''Wait q bit find um soon; black
feller no take white girl away" Ander.

TIE English army is being rapidly and
largely recruited from unemployed labor
ers. The navy is also having its force in
creased, more by boys under 16 years of
age than by men, the object being to train
up a new crop of seamen.
