Doubling Castle was a sad stumbling
block in the path of Bunyan's Christian
though it couldn't bar his way to Truth.
We can sympathize with the Pilgrim.
for Doubt always besets us when we are
asked to believe anything particularly
extraOrdiry. Consequently, when We
heard, some eighteen months ago, that
a physician In California had COM
pounded, from the juices and extracts
of certain herbs found there, n medicine
that cured almost every variety of blood
disease, we were incredulous. Since
then we have had opportunities of test
ing the accuracy of the report, and are
free to admit that our doubts have van
ished. Seeing what we have seen.

We live under a new medical dtSpenSaiion,
very different from. that under which
many Of our forefathers died. The sick are
no longer bIed till they faint, nor gorged

worked complete revolution in the general

Franklin and his Paper.

Soon after his establishment in
Philadelphia, Franklin was offered a
piece for publication in his newspa-
per. Being very busy, he begged the
gentleman would leave it for consid-
Grafton. The next day the author
called, and asked his opinion of it.
"Why sir, replied Franklin, Il
am sorry to say l think it highly
scurrilous and defamatory. But be-
ing at a loss, on account of my pow
erty, whether to reject it or not
thought I would put it to this issue.

sir, since I can live very comfortably
IN this manner, why should Iprosti-

SUGAR BEET CULTURE.

From an experience of thirty years
with different root crops, [ have
found none that pays me SO well as
the American Improved Imperial
Sugar Beet, all things considered. It
yields the most feed per acre, IS
raised and housed with less labor, is
ahead of most root crops from the
fact that there are very few fbrous
roots-quite an item In cleaning.
Instead of their imparting an I'M
pleasant favor to milk, as is COM
planned of the turnip, I think they
are a great improvement both in
quantity and quality of milk. AS to
soil, any land perhaps green sward
excepted) that will produce a good
crop of corn or potatoes, will give
paying crop of beets. Still my ex-
perience is that the richer the land
the larger the crop.
MODE OF CULTURE.
Pillow good depth, say any from
eight to twelve inches; harrow fine
and mellow. Lay the ground off in
fair ridges, from eighteen to twenty
four inches apart; rake down length
wise so as to leave them about three
inches above the general surface;
plant the seed so that when the
ground or drill is smoothed or roll
ed, the seed will be one inch under
ground; in fact, they are sOwn
after about the same manner IS 9th
err root crops. As soon as the rows
can be seen, hoe them close up to
the beet, but lightly. AS soon as
they are an inch or two high, go
through them again, and weed out
rows. The great secret of raising
probably is the same as other small
crops, or in fabt any crop. Don't
let the weeds get the start. When
the beets are from four to six inches
high they should be tbinned out to
one straight plant to fifteen inches.
If the land is quite rich, they grow
large and require room; keep them
clean from weeds, and it is a pleasure
to harvest them.
As the root is half or two-thirds
above the s'1"fooA, I 60 between two
rows, taking them by the tops, and
wien both hands are full slap them
gently together to remove the dirt,
break eff the tops, and they are ready
for the cellar, clean and nice. If
suitable care is taken to keep the
tops clean, put in snug heaps; they
make nice feed for COWS when grass
is scarce and poor quality. con-
slider that the tops pay well for pull
ing the crop. They should be har-
vested before the ground freezes;
freezing to any amount, hurts their
keeping qualities. have yet to find
the man who has produced it who
has not been satisfied with it as a
crop. I have fed about bushels

Wool or Mutton.

Now that sheep arc again attract
Ing attention, the advocates for the
different breeds are waxing warm.
When either one confines himself to
setting forth the merits of particu-
lar variety. he generally does not
overrate the good points of his IA
vorite; but when he institutes
parsons with a vi ew to prove that
Under all circumstances a particular
breed is better than all others, he
seems to us to go wide of the truth.
We believe there are few localities
in this country, where improved
stock of this class can be grown at
all, in which either of the better
breeds, in the hands of thorough
shepherd, would not for series Of
years prove reasonably renum eraiive.
At the same time, we entertain little
doubt that some varieties would. IN
der certain conditions of soil, climate
and access bihty to market, prove
4AO4O pAOS5 boOIO GAd1 OGuGIB.
1t seems highly probable that
both mutton and wool can be grown
on the great central plains of the
United States, IN open competition
with the production of South Amer
lea, Australia, or elsewhere; and at
the same time there is no more rea-
son to suppose that sheep husbandry
in the older States will thus be rem
dered Improbable, than that the
sheep hUsbandry OF Germany, France
or England will be superseded and
become a thing of the past from the
same cause. The incidental bene-
fits of sheep raising to the general
agriculture are such as to insure the
continuance of that branch of live
stock husbandry, and as soils are
more and more heavily taxed, in the
production of annual crops, the de-
mand for sheep will be more and
imperative. The varieties to be
grow n may be safely left to local
conditions, and the individual pre-
ference of each shepherd or farmer.

Bcggars on Horseback.

Rev. Thomas Carter thus writes
from Buenos Ayres
Everything is said to be done here
on horseback. The shepherd watches
his sheep on horseback, and when
his sheep are quiet, there he sleeps.
HIS wife and children visit their
neighbors on horseback. Living
miles apart, there is no other mode.
1t is n common thing to meet a beg
gar on horseback, smoking his paper
cigar. He lifts your knocker with
out dismounting, and waits, still
mounted, to receive that CHAIR y
which is twice blessed. You go or
send to the door, and he waits upon
his steed until he receives what you
wish to give. You must never ex-
pect him to dismount. A friend OF
mine offered one OF these beggars on
horseback some food.
"No Qlilero, Senior"
"What do you want, then?"
''PlalG para segarjllas, pOr Ell amor
de Ia Vjrgen."
The independent rogue had bread
enough and to spare. He wanted,
for the love of the Virgin, some
money to buy his cigars. But, af-
ter all, beggar on horseback in
South America is not so ridiculous
as it seems. The gaucho has never
been accustomed to walk any dis
tance, and an old horse is worth so
little, and so easily finds a scanty
living, winter and summer, by graz
ing in the outskirts of the town, that
the possession Of one is not consider
ed any diminution of claim to pow
erty,

USEFUL IMPORTATION.

How TO MAKE PUDDING QUICK
Split few crackers, lay the surface
over with raisins, and place the
halves together again; tie them close
ly in a cloth, and boil fifteen minutes
in milk and water. With rich
sauce 1T is elegant.
To EXTRACT INK FROM CoTToN,
SILK AND WOODEN GOODS. -Saturate
the spots with spirits of turpentine
and let it remain several hours;
then rub between TIE hands. It will
crumble away'without injuring either
the color or the texture of the i
Gle.
Brown BREAD.-Take one cup of
corn meal and scald it. put is four
tablespOonfuls of molasses; when
cool, add five cups of Graham flour
and a tea cup of yeast. Mix and
raise light; bake one hour. If the
crust is baked too hard, wrap n a
wet towel; when cold it will be moist
and tsRder. Temperature for baking
should be 212 degrees to 800 degrees.
FLY DEsTRoYER.-Beat up the yolk
of an egg with tablespoonful each
of molasses and finely ground black
pepper. Set about in shallow plates
very two or three DAYS in week,
and the flies will be rapidly destroy
ed.
NUT CAKES WITHOUT YEAsr.-One
cup butter, one cup sovr milk, two
cups sugar, iour eggs, a teaspo1nful
of saleratus, more or less according
to the sourness of the milk, spice II
wanted. and Fl ,ur enough to roll out
like jumbles; cut them in any shape
desired, and fry in boiling lard.
GRAVES AND FRIED MEATS If fried
pork must be used as an article OF
food to some extent, do not suffer
the drippings or fat to be ever placed
upon the table for gravy. Turn It
out, leaving but spoonful in the
skillet, then pour in water or milk,
and thicken while boiling with q lit
tie flour and water rubbed till free
f. ON Jumps. With the addition of
salt, this makes a wholesome and
palatable gravy. Gravy should be
made in the same way for all fried
IN ats. Fried meats usually, how
ever, absorb too much fat to be
strickly health full. Meats broiled
on the gridiron or baked in the oven
are more digestible.
How TO MAKE Moss BAsKErs.-Get
the moss from some old woodland; the
green feathery moss is the best.
Then take pasteboard and make q
frame in any form desired. When
the pasteboard forms are cut out,
take bright-colored thibet, silk or
satin, and cut pieces the same shape
as the pasteboard forms, only one-
fourth o. an inch larger. Place the
pasteboard on the cloth, glue or paste
the edges down and sew the pieces
together. Take q narrow strip of
pasteboard, cover with the same the
basket is covered with. Then take
pieces of chenille cord and braid
over and under he length of the strip.
Fasten each end to opposite sides of
the basket. Cut the moss from the
roots, paste it thickly on the outside
of the basket; take chenille cord,
like that on theihandle or bail, glue
it in every seam inside and around
the top, taking pains to do II all
nicely and the work is done.
