oven for twenty minutes, and serve
them hot for breakfast. When eaten,
break them open ; to cut would make

JE1L1Es.-In making jellies of apri.
cots, ounces, peaches, apples or plums,
peel, remove the stones or cores, cut in
pieces, cover with water, and boil
gently till we'll cooked then strain the
juice gently through jelly bag, and
ADD hall a pint of sugar to a pint of

Jelly, use one-third currants and two
thirds raspberries.
On FROM HENs' Eaas.-The HEALING
properties in the new oil extracted
from hens eggs are said to he verv
great, and it can be easily made. First,
the eggs are boiled hard The volks
are removed, crushed, and placed over
hre, where they are carefully stirred,
and when the substance is just on the
eve of catching fire, the oil separates,
and may be poured of. One yolk will
yield nearly two teaspoonfuis of oil.
In the southern part of Russia it is
much used for curing cuts and bruises.
To REMOVE MMDEw SPoTa-R. j..
Cisne, ILL.,, asks how to remove mildew
from clothing. Wet the spots with

application each day for two or three
days, rinsing out and bleaching in the
sunshine after each application.
RICE PUDDING WITHOUT Eaas.-This

MANY of our readers who are looking
about for something to do, can find
pleasant and profitable employment in
the business of life insurance. It re-
quires no capital, save a horse and
buggy to travel through the county,
and to active men the recompense is
certain. We recommend the selection
Of some strong old company like the
New York Life, with large assets and
liberal plans, one that is popular
wherever known, and one too that
everybody knows. A man who takes
applications for life insurance is doing
good. It is in every sense q good
business. A letter dropped to the
home Office of this company, at 346
and 348 Broadway, New York, will meet
With ready response. Try it.-Com.

Captain Jacks Cave.

'. The Boston Transcript publishes an
extract from a private letter giving an
account Of the first visit of white
man IT, Captain Jacks cave:
~ directed. Bogus Charley TO take
the lead to the famous caves, which no
white man had ever visited, and to see
which was the object of my expedition.
Bogus was in doubt whether he could
find the trail; it had been so long since
he was there-some two years; But I
told him TO make the trail. and we
started off in single file, Bogus on the
lead, then myself, G. j. and the en-.
listed men. had carbine, G. and J.
pistols, and the soldiers Springfield
breech-loaders Charley had no weap-
ons, SO if he meant treaohery he would
be the first. victim. It was: intensely
hot, and after tumbling and scrambling
over rocks for four hours, Charley came
to halt, saying he had lost the track.
/ ordered q rest of few minutas, and
then told Charley to try again.
We were then almost to the middle
of the lava beds, which were twenty
to twenty-five miles long by from
seven to nine miles wide-that is to
soy, we were about four miles from
our starting point in a straight line,
though we had travelled about seven.
In about half an hour Charley, as he
raised crest, discovered juniper
tree, which was the mark he was look
ing out for, and informed me that the
caves were within one hundred yards
of the tree, which latter was distant
from us about five hundred yards. We
made the last quarter! stretch in q
hurry, and sure enough there was a
Cave. Charley descended and then
turned to me, US I began to descend,
and said, leave your gum
1 gave my carbine to one Of the
men, and descended about thirty feet.
Charley and I proceeded to the mouth
of a cavern, aud rs went in Charley
said, You first white man that ever
come here. entered the first cave,
which found TO be three hundred feet
long by forty five feet vide and thirty
to thirty five feet high, lighted from,
the top by two holes in the roof extend
ing to the surface of the ground there
were side galleries and tunnels running
from the floor to the outside surface Of
the ground in all directions. Eagle
nests adorned the ceilings, and
mountain sheep tracks dotted
the dust, which lay several
inches thick on the bottom of the
cave. Stalactites hung on the sides.
This was tho first cave and the largest.
After passing through this we came
into daylight again, into another
crater, on the opposite side of which
was hole large enough TOR . man to
conveniently enter. Charley went in
first, and finding it dark, We got some
sage brush to burn for light. As we
had no means of keeping light, and
the bottom of cave No. 2 was strewn
With large rocks, difficult to climb over
and then turn back. The third cave
was opposite the entrance to No. /, and
upon examination presented the same
features as the others. The first cave
entered was the largest. We then
turned our faces lakeward, found our
traps unmolested during our absence,
Eand had dinner.

Extracatnx Honey.

The honey stored in the brood cham.
Der should be removed with the e.
tractor often. Do not allow your
queen to be crowded for space to lay
her eggs in. This is an important
point at all times, especially good
honey season. Careless beekeepers
lose much honey, which is money and
stocks too, by paying too little atten.
tion to the brood chamber. With an
extractor, it takes but little time to
accomplish much for by taking their
stores from the brood chamber and
placing back the empty comb, it ex-
cites them to gather more aud as
soon a. surplus boxes or frames are
filed they should be removed and

why Glover lmproves the Soil.

why Glover lmproves the Soil.
Professor Tockler thus explains the
action of clover increasing the fertility
ofsoil:
"All who are perfectly acquainted
with the subject must have seen that
the best crops of wheat are produced
by being preceded by crops of clover
grown for seed. I have come to the
conclusion that the very best prepara-
ton, the best manure, is a good crop
OF clover. A vast amount Of mineral
manure is brought within reach of the
corn crop which, otherwise, would re-.
main in q locked-up conditionin all the
soil. The clover plants take nitrogen
from the atmosphere, and manufacture
it into their own substance, which on
decomposition Of the clover roots and
leaves, produces abundance OF ammo
mia. In reality, the growing Of clover
is equivalent, to great extent, to ma
nuring with Peruvian Guano. ;
Take, for instance, red clover, the
best of all green manures. The great
English chemist, Prof. Way, of the
Royal Agricultural College at Ciren-
cester, made perfect analysis of dry
red clover, and found every one hun
dred parts to contain as follows:

Hints TO Beginners In Bookkeeping.
The chief trouble with beginners in
bee-keeping is, that they will not go to
the slight expense and small trouble
necessary to get informed on the sub
ject. They buy hive of
bees, about which they know
nothing, except that bees can sting,
and that their honey is nice,
and then leave it to take care of itself.
It is needless to say that this is a very
foolish course to adopt. What wonder
that only failure and loss are the RESULT
It would be the same in sheep raising,
dairying, or any other line Of farming.
While, therefore, We advise the farmer
to make bee-keeping one of tho many
lines Of industrial pursuit, we qualify
the advice by urging that it be by no
means entered into without seeking in
formation in regard to it. This can
easily be obtained from books on
agriculture, and from bee journals.
