Your Bones.

1T IS common practice with our mar
ketmen to weigh piece of meat Of what
ever kind demanded, and then trim off the
bones, etc, charging, however, for the
gross weight. This, of course, is in ac-
cOrdance with the maxim that "wh0ever
buys beef buys bones," the retailer, him
self, having purchased on the same princi-
the marketman has the best Of the bar
gain. You may have your bones or not,
just as you please; but as he very consid-
erately says: "You can't eat the bones
and I'd just as lief cut them out for you. :"
Most people are SO afraid Of being thought
mean that they simply nod assent, and
the bones you have paid for drop into the
marketman's box to be sold over again at
the rate Of from four to six cents q pound.
OF course the quantity Of bone you pUr-
chase doesn't amount to much in a year,
but the aggregate of all the customers Of
the marketman must be something con-
siderable
There are people who insist upon hav-

if they make fuel of them and we are not
sure but this is as good domestic use as
they can be put to. Some housekeepers
know how to get soup out of the most I'M
promising shins and knuckles; but in
many large households the quantity Of
bone that goes INTO the sWill-tub must be
somewhat extensive.
Bones Of all kinds are so valuable, and
can be put to such varied uses, that hun
dreds of settlers along the valley of the
Arkansas River have supported them
selves by collecting buffalo bones. Heads
and ribs bring five dollars ton, and are
shipped to Philadelphia, where they are
ground up into fertilizers. Shoulder
blades and shins are worth ten dollars a
ton, and are used by the sugar-refners.
The horns are worth thirty dollars ton,
and portions of hide found hanging to
the heads are sent to the glue factories.-

RenOyating Waste Land.

FARMERS cannot afford to pay taxes on
worthless land beside losing the interest
on the money invested in the possession
of such land. In almost every section of
the country there are thousands Of acres of
high priced land all grown over with
weeds and bushes If reclaimed the soil
would produce bountifuI crops Here,
for example, is a plot of ten acres yielding
ten tons of hay, worth 800. It has in it
some stumps, more powders, some brush
by the wall and few wet places, CROWN
nothing but sour grasses and flags. 1t
can be cleared Of all obstruction, be IN
derdrained, SUBSIDIZED and MANFRED SO as
to produce three tons of hay to the acre
for the sum of a few hundred dollars. 1t
will not pay the present occupant to do
this the coming year if he is going to sell
out the year following. But he may &C
cOmplish all this economically in five
years, furnish profitable employment for
his help, introduce the moving machine
and cut more fodder upon the field than
he now cuts upon the whole farm. He
may get crops enough from the field dur
ing the five years to pay for all the
improvements, leaving the increased
value of the land certainly not
less than 800 an acre as the re-
ward of his skill in husbandrY. The fields
want to be cleared of rocks, the swales
need deep underdrains cut through them,
with smaller side drains running into
them at right angles; old walls want re-
moving and the fields charging to ten or
twenty acres; the whole surface needs to
be thoroughly worked and MANFRED, SO as
to produce maximum crops. By this
thorough method horse labor may be sub
stituted for that of man, so as to save full
One-half Of the present expense of raising
and harvesting the crops. In smooth land
nearly all the planting and hoeing can be
done by horse; and the moving, reap
ing, grading and raking can be done by
the same method. The man who will lay
his plans wisely to improve his soil, max
ing this the chief object, and who will iu-
diciously eXpend his capital in the i'm
provements we have indicated, is in a fair
way to gain a competence. This kind of
farming, in the long run, will pay amply
and we believe more surely than any 9TH
er business. The skinning process, which
is reckless of the soil and looks only to
the crops, is bad policy both for the farm
and It's owner. Let II be abandoned, as
the practice tends to render go5d land
poor and poor farmers still more poverty
stricken.-N. 7. Herald.

4 Place for the WagOn-BOx.

WHEN not in use the wagon-box IS a
cumbrous thing to store away. It is too
costly to be allowed to lie out amongst the
plows and harrows, and too bulky to find
a place in the Toulouse or the sheds.
Generally it lies up against the fence, or
at the back of the barn, where it is as
much injured in one year by exposure as
It would be by several years of use A
very convenient plan is to hoist it up to
the ceiling of wagon-shed, over the
place where the wagon usually stands ;
here it can always be lowered on to the
wagon in two minutes, and it is out of the
way and safe from injury. 1t is necessary
to have four rings on the Wagon-boX, one
near each corner, two short ropes and two
long ones; and two small pulley blocks
fastened to the beams overhead The
short ropes are tied to the rings, each
crossing one end of the wagon-boX. There
should be loop III the middle Of each Of
these short ropes, to which the long ropes
can be tied or hooked When the wagon
is backed into the proper place the ropes
are fastened to the wagon-box, and each
end of the box is hoisted a few feet alter
nately (if there is only one person to pull
it up until it is high enough. The ropes
are fastened around cleats fixed to the
wall of the shed.-AmericaB Agriculturist

Failure Of the Bank of California.

4 San Francisco dispatch of Aug. -
says: The failure of the Bank of Cali
lorna, While Immediately caused by a de-
posters run, was directly the outcome of
conflict between two classes of CalifOr-
Ma speculators-one of the Bank Of Cali
1ornla party, headed by Mr.. Ralston and
Mr Sharon, and the other headed by
Messrs. Flood, O'Brien and Hidenfeldt.
Inc latter party have established a bank
III San Francisco called The Bank OF
Nevada with q cash capital Of S5,0O0,OOO
gold and the right to increase to $50, 0O0,-
600. Incidental 10 this fight there have
aeen the mining properties known as the
savage, the Caledonia. the California, the
Ophir and the Consolidated Virginia. The
three latter are known as the Big BOnan-
~ 4iine,' and the Bank of California party
obtained control Of them. In getting this
control the stock OF the California was
run up from 90 to 500, and was then
multiplied by five, which would
make the highest price 100. It
has since declined to 80. The Ophir
stock, while they were getting control,
advanced from so to 100, and was multi
piled by five, making zoo, representing
10 in new stock. 1t has since declined
to As. The Consolidated Virginia. dur
ing the process Of getting control, adj
yanccd from IS to 80 1t was yesterday
2G7. That the bank had been strained of
late and pinched has been evident to
bankers here, who have Stunned their
bills from the fact that in the last sixty
days most Of the bills offered in this mar
ket have been those of other institutions
indorsed by the Bank Of California. The
inference has been that the Bank of Cali
fornia had hypothetical securities with
those who lent their bills, and that this
borrowed exchange was used to obtain
funds needed to carry on the large opera
tons Of the bank. The borrowed bills
which have SO appeared were those of the
Bank Of British Columbia and the Bank
of British North America"

Poor Stacking.

A GOOD stack is required for hard
storm. Too many make their stacks mere
ly for pleasant weather Almost anything
will answer if there happens to be little
or no rain before threshing. In bad sea-
sons much wheat is spoiled after harvest,
which, as a rule, is the result of bad stack
ing. This does not often happen in Min
nesota, hence our farmers become very
careless. 1t is not safe to do this impor-
tant work in a slip-shOd manner, or to
employ those who do not understand the
business.
1t is not very difficult matter to make
good stack of grain-the main point be-
ing to keep themiddle high and the top
well finished, to keep outthe rain from the
center. In some parts of the country
cloth caps are used, and to good advan
tage. If our farmers could thresh out
their grain from the shock, quite a saving
would be had and no little risk But, of
course, only a few can get a machine to
come into the field so early At least
nine-tenths must put their crop into stacks
and wait their turn. The prosperity of our
State depends largely on the way our
Wheat-stacks are made 1t matters little if
we have good yield, if it is net proper
~ cared for after harvest.
These thoughts are thrown out to put
our farmers on their guard. 1t is better
always to be on the safe side, and build
the wheat-stack SO as to stand any storm
If possible-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

tured the prize medal and diploma of honor
at the Vienna Exposition in 1878, and has
