Let me hear from you upon this sub
ject. Yours truly,
G. l.. RIDDELL,
Commissioner of Immigration, for
merry of Hampstead, Texas.
wHEAT-NEW VARIETIES, ETC:
We CLEAN the following items from
the Monthly Report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture
In Hunt county, Texas, the Tappa-
hammock variety of wheat is ahead OF
any other variety except the Clawson,
from the Department, which for yield,
surpasses any other variety ever pro-
duced in the county.
In Miller county, Mo-, the Tappa-
hammock and Fultz from the Depart
ment, were reported as looking finely;
the Touzelle cot doing much, being toe
late for the locality.
In MERGED county, CAL, a cores
pondent says: I7think the Clawson
sent me by the department, surpasses
any variety in yield that l have ever
seen.
A correspondent from Giles county,
Tenn, writes: A poor man residing
near me says that the Fultz wheat,
which he received from the Depart
ment through me two years ago, will
benefit him this year to the extent OF
5000. 1t is the finest wheat in the
neighborhot d.
Ifany of the farmers of Texas have
raised any of the above wheats, they
will please communicate results to lis
for publication. - Rural Texan.
To the above we would add recon-
mendation for the White Borden
wheat, a specimen of which can he
seen at this office. AS we said, few
days ago, the sample we have, is, by
all odds, finer than anything we have
seen in this market. Mr.. Therman,
living on ten mile creek, in Dallas
county, threshed out 30 bushels to the
acre of this variety, worth, at least Is
cents per bushel more than the best
No. ., wheat brought here during the
season. EDITOR OF THE HERALD.

How salt fish should be freshened.
Many persons are in the habit of fresh
ening mackerel or other salt fish, and
never dream that there is n right and
wrong way to do it. Any person who
has seen the process of evaporating
going on at the salt works, knows that
the salt fall to the bottom. Just so it
is in the pan where your mackerel or
white fish lies with the skin side down,
the salt will fall to the skin, and there
remain, when if placed with the flesh
side down, the salt falls to the bottom
of the pan. and the fish comes out
freshened as 1t should be. In the other
case it is nearly as salt as when put in.
Salad Dressings.-S. o. J.'s salad
dressing is very nice, but the farmers
wife who is too hurried to stop ten min
utes to beat it just at dinner time, and
finds salad oil rather too expensive,
can make a palatable dressing by beat
ing two eggs, addinga piece of butter
the size of half an egg, half teaspoon
full of mustard rubbed smooth in little
water, four tablespoonful of vinegar,
and half a teacup of boiling water.
Set it in bowl In the top of n teaket-
tie, and stir occasionally until as thick
cream.
