A Big Blow.

Last evening, while the chief engi-
neer of lung tester was expiating upon
the benefits to be derived from the free
use of his instrument, cadaverous
looking individual stepped out of the
crowd and remarked to him
Mister, do you think it would help
me any to blow into that can %
Yes, sir; certainly; it would ex-
pand your chest, give elasticity to your
lungs, and lengthen your life. Why,
you'd soon be able to blow 500 pounds
and win the So prize"
"Why, does fellow get So when he
blows that many pounds?
eyes, sir; wouldn't you like to make
trial % with knowing wink to the
crowd.
II don't care if / do" said Greens,
walking around and planking down a
dime of the greasy shinplaster sort.
Then taking the mouth-piece in his
hand, he made ready. He opened his
mouth until the hole in his face looked
like dry-dock for ocean steamers, and
began to take in wind. The imitation
was like that of the Graphic balloon,
but not so disastrous. That fellows
chest began to grow and distend until
he resembled a pouter pigeon more than
man, at which point he put the mouth
piece to his Inns and blew with such
force that his eyes came out and stood
around on his cheek bones to see what
was the matter-but that can-top went
up like flash, and the needle of the in
dicator spun around like the button on
a country school-house door, until it
stood still at 500 pounds ! The crowd
cheered, and the keeper of the can paid
over the So in stamps, with mutter of
establishment. But Greens pocketed
them coolly, and turning to the specta-
tors, said:

ing to do at all for man who has been

How to Roast a Turkey.

AS Thanksgiving is near at hand, we
print for the benefit of our good house.
wives the following excellent recipe for
roasting a turkey. 1t is from "Com-
mon Sense in the Household" high
authority In matters culinary:
After drawing the turkey, rinse out
with several waters, and in the next to
the last mix teaspoonful of soda. The
inside of a fowl, especially if purchased
in the market, is sometimes very sour,
and imparts an unpleasant taste to the
stuffing, if not to the inner part of the
legs and side bones. The soda will act
as corrective, and is moreover very
cleansing. Fill the body with this
water, shake well, empty it out, and
rinse with fair water. Then prepare
dressing of bread-crumbs, mixed with
butter, pepper, salt, thyme or sweet
majoram, and wet with hot water or
milk. You may, if you like, add the
beaten yolks of two eggs. A little
chopped sausage is esteemed an i'm
provement when well incorporated with
the other ingredients. Or, mince
dozen oysters and stir into the dress
ing; and, if you are partial to the
liquor. The effect upon the turkey
meat, particularly that of the breast, is
very pleasant.
Stuff the craw with this, and tie a
string tightly about the neck, to
prevent the escape of the stufing. Then
fill the body of the turkey, and sew it
up with strong thread. This and the
neck string is to be removed when the
fowl is dished. In roasting, if your
fire is brisk, allow about ten minutes to
a pound but it will depend very much
upon the turkeys age whether this rule
holds goods. Dredge it with -four be-
fore roasting, and haste often; at first
with butter and water, afterward with
the gravy in the dripping-pan. If you
roast In an OveI and lay the turkey IN
the pan, put in with it teacup of hot
water. Many roast always upon graf
ing placed on the top of the pan. In
that case the boiling water steams the
under part of the fowl, and prevents the
skin from drying too fast, OF cracking.
Roast to fine brown, and ii it threat
ems to darken too rapidly, lay sheet
of white paper over it until the low
er part is also done.
Stew the chopped giblets in just
enough water to cover them. and when
the turkey is lifted from the pan, add
these, with the water in which theyvere
boiled, to the drippings (; thicken with
spoonful of Drowned -four, wet with
cold water to prevent Jumping, boil at
once and pour into the gravy-boat. If
the turkey is very fat, skim the drip
pings well before putting in the glib
lets.
Serve with strawberry sauce. Some
lay fried oysters in the dish around the
turkey,

The Gentle Mongol and the Gentlel
Mule.

The author of "Travels on Horse
back" describes pleasing trait of Chi
nese character as follows:
"The Chinese are always kind to ami
mails and never punish hence mule
that in the hands of foreigner would
be not only useless but dangerous to
every one about it, becomes In the pos
session of a Chinaman as quiet as a
lamb and as tractable as a dog. We
never beheld runaway, jibbing or a
vicious mule or pony in Chinaman's
employment, but found the same rat
thing, cheerful pace maintained over
heavy or light roads by means of a
tur-r or ctuk-k, the beast turning to the
right or left and stopping with but a
hint from the reins. This treatment is
extended to all animals they press into
their service. Often have 1 admired the
tact exhibited in getting a large drove
of sheep through narrow, crowded
streets and alleys by merely having q
little boy to lead one of the quietest of
the flock in front the others steadily
followed without aid either from yelp-
ing cur or cruel goad. Cattle, pigs and
birds are equally cared for"

individual members, and all orders then
pass to the State Purchasing Agent,
who goes into the field with these
thousands of orders and secures special
wholesale reductions by thus buying in
the mass. The irregularity of single
orders is thus avoided, and the great
benefit of concentration secured.
In addition to the implement branch
of the business, the County Agent will
have, in connection with his warehouse,
a hay press, and in time to come wheat
elevator. Thus, when Patrons come
into market with hay and grain, and
fail TO secure the price deemed by them
adequate, the Grange Agent takes the
produce, forwards sum of money upon
the same enough to enable the Patron
to swim along, and presses the hay or
stores the wheat to await the action of
the market. In this immediate section
of the State the hay will probably be
shipped to the Lake Superior region in
a pressed condition, where it always.
commands good figures. In this way
the Grange Agents, by combination
throughout the West, can control the
market IN systematic manner. Besides
this. the agent, who, of course, will be
member of the order, will be general
business man of the oranges in his juris-
diction, and perform those thousand
and one duties that of course will be
required of such persons. The greatest
care, of course, is to be exercised ~
by County Councils in the selection of
their representatives, and, as large sums
of money will constantly be circulating
through the hands of the latter, album
dant sureties will be demanded. This
system, which will soon be inaugurated
in this State by the Purchasing Agent,
will be presented for the consideration
of other Western State Oranges, and it
is believed that at the meeting of the
National Grange, at ST. Louis, next
January, national plan, under the
same system of organization, will be
duly carried out before seed time next

Lead Pencils.

The first, and still the most widely
extended use of plumbago, was for max
ing crayons or pencils. The original
method of manufacture was very simple.
The Jumps of mineral were cut into the
required shape and used in the natural
state. At later date it was sawed into
the shape now used, and covered with
wood, making the well-knewn lead pen
Gil but the Berrowdale mine, in En-
gland, the best known, finally ceased to
produce the mineral pure enough for
the purpose, and that method was re-
luctantly abandoned. The refuse about
the mine was then utilized by purifying
and pressing into blocks, and these in
turn were sawed into "pencil leads. F"
But the leads made in this way were
weak and unreliable, and even had they
been useful the march of civilization re-
quired pencils of different grades, some
soft and others harder, while the sawed
leads were all alike. The present
method consists in selecting the best
graduated plumbago found till recent
ly only in Germany, pulverizing it
finely, and floating it in water through
series of watts, the coarser particles
settling TO the bottom of the first vat,
the finer to the next, and so on till, after
passing through several, that which set
ties in the last is considered fine enough
for the purpose, A suitable clay is
found, as yet only in Germany, and this
is treated to the floating process, the
finest only being fit for use, The plum
bago and clay are then mixed together
with water to the consistency oil cream,
and ground together like grinding paint.
When this operation is completed, the
mass is plastic, water enough having
evaporated to leave it in that state. 1t
is then put in a press and forced through
an opening of the size desired for the
pencil leads, and the leads are cut to a
suitable length, and Strengthened and
dried. When they are dry enough to
handle they are placed in crucible, the
air is excluded, and they are subjected
to high heat, which bakes them, and
brings them out ready to be placed in
the cedar for pencils. The different
grades are produced by the different
mixtures of clay and plnmbago the
more clay, the harder the grade pro-
duced.

The Monopoly of the Lakes.

While combination CT railroads keer
up the price of carrying Western produce
to the sea-board, Congress keeps in
force q law which prohibits foreign
owned vessels from taking our crops to
Buffalo, Oswego or Ogdensburgh. After
every harvest Canadian vessels leave
this port in ballast, when every ware
house is filled with grain which has ac-
cumulated In quantities to tax the carry
ing facilities of every railroad leading to
the East till spring. This is one of the
ways the Government of Washington
adopts to compel farmers to send their
crops to market by rail. No water is
free until you get to tide water. The
vessels ON our lakes are largely owned
in Canada, and if they were permitted
to take cargoes unfortunately to En-
glish or American ports, the price of
carrying produce would be greatly re-
duced. Quite recently the owners of
Canadian vessels sailing from this port
have come to the conclusion that, under
an article in the late treaty with Great
Britain, which went into effect last July,
they have the right to carry cargoes con-
signed to places in the United States,
providing they are to pass through a
part of the Dominion. Considerable
grain and other produce have been ship
ped from here to Collingwood, Sarnia
and Port Colburn, thence by rail to
other places where it is re-shipped. This
business has heretofore been monopo-
lized by vessels owned in the United
States, but now some eighty Canadian
vessels have entered into competition
with them, and the effect is at once to
reduce freights. If their right to con-
tinue in the trade be acknowledged, the
farmers have gained one step in the mat
ter of cheap transportation. Now let
Congress make the carrying trade on the
lakes absolutely free to vessels earring
any flag, and another long step will be
taken in the same direction, By what
possible right do few American vessel
owners claim to monopolize the waters
of the Great Lakes? 1t is a monopoly
worse than railroad monopoly. In our
opinion Government should encourage
foreign capitalists to build ships to en-
gage in the carrying on the lakes, in
stead of putting obstacles in the way.
Western farmers care very little who
own ships or railroads, providing they
will carry their products to market
cheaply. Prairie Farmer.

The Weather.

From the Danbury News Mans Almanac for 1874
I shall not say anything here about
the Importance of this subject.
We all know how unbearable society
would be without it how tame and
commonplace would become heaven and
earth in its absence.
Imerely wish to call the attention OF
the reader to the care that has been
taken in selecting the weather for this
book.
Being warned by the last season,
have put in plenty of rain, which will
be found to arrive just in the nick of
time.
/ have dealt lightly in thunder
storms L find they are not popular
and have such an antipathy to light
ning-rod men that lose no opportunity
to injure them.
1 have been rather liberal with snow,
for the sake of the young and livery
stables, and have put in some extraor-
binary hail, for the encouragement of
the inhabitant, and little frost, to stir
up the amateur in tobacco and other
variety of cabbage.
But accuracy is the strong point of
the volume. When it says, :, Look out
for rain, then is the time for you to
" hump yourself for the house. And
when it says "Frost," any delay in
getting your wife's fathers coat over
the tomatoes and dahlias will prove
eminently disastrous to those articles.
Yes, have aimed to be accurate, look
ing more to the personal comfort and
general information of my patrons than
to the plaudits of wicked world, and
gold, which perish in day, 1 am told
have not lost sight of the fact that
I have formidable and INSCRIPTIONS
opposition at Washington. But trust
ing to an honest purpose, discrimin-
ating public, and eight years of pro-
miscuous trusting as the editor of a
country newspaper, shall press stead
lily on, and hurt that Washington chap.
