Variety in Food.

A good many farmers families are
out of the reach of market or butchers
wagon, and are o~bligedto subsist, as
to meat, the year round, upon ham,
salt pork and chickens. The ham is
always fried, and the pork is always
boiled or fried, swimming in grease,
and the chickens are cooked i'll some
such way. The ham might be boiled
or cut into small bits and made into
dumplings, the crust for them being
like soda biscuit, and steamed or bak-
ed. Cold pieces of ham are nice cut
into small mouthfuls, and warmed
with eggs; they are also very palatable
fried in butter, like veal outlets.
The methods of cooking chickens
and pork are numerous, and most
housekeepers know them, but fall in
to the habit of cooking them in some
stereotyped way, so that they never
seem to have a variety 1t is the same
with vegetables. The first care, is i'll
the summer and fall, to make pro-
vision for water; this should be plenti.
full and varied, both in vegetables and
fruits. Dried or canned green corn,
and canned tomatoes, and the many
kinds of sou and sweet pickles, are
great additions to the winter dinner
table; but my opinion is that they are
better appreciated if the same kind
does not appear on the table oftenel
than once o week. Potatoes seem al
essential part ofevery dinner, and one
can make such a rotation of turnips
parsnips, onions, cabbages, beans
corn, beets, etc, according to the ma
ture of the dinner, as never to get tiret
of any II vegetable.
In the matter of canned fruit, pre-
serves, cakes, pies and puddings, TIN
same rule for variety should be observ
ed. A house-keeper should not fal
into the common error of making
year after year the same kind of pre-
serves, the same kind of cakes, and tn
same kind of lie .-Agrjcult"riSt'

Directions for Success with Flower
Seeds,

If the following simple rules are
attended to, success is almost certain
in growing flowers from seeds, But
if neglected, failure is almost equally
certain:
LIST. The seed should not be sowed
until about the time of planting Gu
cumbcrs and putting out tomatoes.
IL sown too early, the frostS will de-
stroy the choicest varieties.
ID. Cover the seed with very fine
dirt; and only about one quarter of
an inch deep, as general rule. Large
seeds may be covered a half inch.
Sd. Shade the bed with a board, or
in some other way. Sprinkle on
water every day, unless it rains, and
keep the surface of the bed constant
ly moist until the plants come up.
Then remove the shade and give
them the sun. But, still, continue to
sprinkle the bed every evening or
early in the morning, until the plants
get a little strength of root.
4th. In very dry weather during
the summer, until they blossom, give
them Il showcring occasionally. This
should be done just before evening,
or the sun will dry out the moisture
too soon, and cause the ground to
bake hard.
Failure is not because the seed i:
bad, asa general thing; but is caused.
in most cases, either by covering the
little seeds too deep, the germ cannot
reach the surface, or by the ground
becoming dried below the point
where the seedsarc located; in whicl
case the plant with its root is de-
stroyed. BY following the above
directions, these difficulties arc
avoided; and beautiful flowers will
compensate for the care and labol
bestowcd.--[Chas ID. Copeland, Ii

How NitrO-G lycerine is Made.

This wonderful explosive was discOv-
cred in 1917, by an Italian named So
boro, but its practical application was
made by Alfred Noble, a Swedish en-
gineer. The process by which it is
made is thus described Every one
knows what glycerine is-a clear, syr-
upy liquid, sweet to the taste, and
somewhat greasy to the touch. its
scope Of employment ranges from the
surgeons dispensary to the lady's
boudoir. Chemists term it traimOtic
alcohol, and it may be derived from
fat or tallow by action of lime and sui
phuric acid. Its properties are many
and various, but as they have no bear
ing upon the present subject we shall
abstain from noticing them. If guam
tity of nitric acid be added to twice its
weight of sulphuric acid, glycerine be
poured into this, and carefully stirred,
the whole being surrounded by freez-
ing mixtures, WI obtain that wonder
fulsubstance known as nitrO-glycerine,
which has more than ten times the ex-
plUsive force of gunpowder. 1t forms
on the surface rs an oil of a pale yellow
color, is perfectly inodorous, and has a
sweet, aromatic taste. Its poisonous,
whether taken internally or absorbed
through the skin, and small doses of 1t
produce distressing headaches. It does
not explode when brought in contact
with fire, and remains unchanged
even when raised to the temperature
of boiling water but at about forty
degrees Fahrenheit it becomes convert
ed into an icy mass, which merely re-
quires friction to develop al! its eXplO-
sive qualities.

How did he know SO much about

every impartial observer of that
scene that Mr.. Nye is not very care
full of his statements when he is
crowded into a controversial corner.
When he made. that, assertion, he
knew that he had no knowledge
whatever ON the subject. He did
not know, he could not possibly
have known, whether those Vigil
antes were politically Democrats or
Republicans. If there were political
divisions of any kind, the Senator
had reason to believe justt the reverse
of what lie asserted. The opposition
of Democrats generally on this coast
to these committees was we'll known
to him; while it is notorious that
most of these lawless organizations
on this coast have been conducted
by his own political associates. The
reported assertion of the Senator
was not only untrue, but it was a
most undignified, unworthy attempt
to cast opprobrium upon the party
in opposition to him. 1t shows
what little weight is to be given to
that Senator's frothy assertions
about Southern outraSes. The Sen

pass current where equally bold and
