A MEADvILLE lady gives this excel
lent receipt for making buckwheat
cakes: One quart CT buckwheat -four,
a small cup of Indian-meal, one and a
half tea -spoonsful salt, four table
spoonsful good lively yeast I; mix with
milk and tepid wafer enough to make
it the consistency of muffin batter ;
then beat will for fifteen minutes, and
set in a warm place to rise over night
In the morning the batter may be sour;
if so dissolve teaspoonful of soda in
a little warm water and stir in if the
cakes are not sweet add more saleratus;
do not beat the batter; add table
spoon full of molasses to brown the
cakes-the milk does not brown them
sufficiently. Bake on well-heated
griddle that is perfectly clean; soap
stone griddle needs no greasing; an
iron griddle should be creased with a
piece of rind of ham or fat salt pork
on a fork. Butter and silver-drips
syrup are best to eat with buckwheat
cakes maple syrup is also good.

OF the columns. This year the hole
was opened, and the frog sprang out
healthy and strong after its twelve
years confinement, the only visible
change being bleaching in its appear

HIGH LAKES.

Lake Harkness, Plumas county,
Cal, has an altitude of 1880 feet.
In Clear Greek county, Colorado,
are two beautiful little lakes, each OF
about a mile in circumference, very
deep; and the water, of dark blush
green, is extremely cold. there is no
apparent source Of supply, as the lakes
are surrounded by high mountain walls
Of granite blocks, piled in magnificent
confusion and quite heavily timbered.
They are at an altitude of at least 1000
feet, and are the source of the famous
Clear Greek Canyon stream.
About six miles south of these lakes,
and at an altitude of fully 10000 feet,
just above the timber line, is situated
Chicago Lake, now widely known as
the scene OF Bierstadt's storm in the
Rocky Mountains" It is most
picturesque sheet of clear limpid water;
but appears at little distance to be
almost black owing to its great depth.
The water is intensely cold, but con-
tains an abundance oftrout. The lake
is about half milein diameter, and at
the upper or northwest side a perpet-
udl DstIh Va ICE anu SuOW CIcSiJS Vo"h
to the waters edge On the south an
imposing wall of smooth granite tow
ers almost vertically tc the height of
1000 feet; while on the west there are
series of majestic terraces, like huge
steps, 800 tO 400 feet high. The north
wall slopes away at an angle Of about
450 and to the south and east there is
an easy, gradual slope down into Chi
cago Canyon. This lake would ap-
pear to have been the crater of some
volcano; yet there are no traces of
volcanic action.
There are hundreds Of lakes in the
Rocky Mountains. Prominent among
them are the Twin Lakes, altitude S.
700 feet San Cristobel and Lake
Mary, in the San Juan country (some-
what higher, and Grand Lake, in Mid
die Park. There are many smaller
lakes in the region of the timber line,
varying in elevation from 10000 to
10000 feet. These lakes are all along
the snowy region-in the National,
Elk, Saeuache, San Miguel, Uncom-
pahgre, Sangre de Christie, and other
ranges. In the National range, which,
according to Professor Hay den, ''is by
far the largest and grandest in the
United States" there are several con-
siderable lakes above 800 feet, and
many smaller ones from 10, 100 to more
than II, 900 feet above the sea level.

instant relief will bc afforded by ap-
plying this to the throat.

FACTS FOR FARMERs.--It is difficult
to ascertain the amount of crops, or
the average yield, Of very distant times
past, but the average yield per acre of
wheat in the eleventh century was es-
timated by the highest authority of
that dav, the author of 'Fleta, at only
six bushels So three hundred years
later in 1890, fifty-seven acres on a
farm at Hawsted yielded only three
hundred and sixty-six bushels, and on
an average of three years little more
than that The actual productive
power of Great Britain i'm the article of
wheat alone increased during the half
century from 1901 to 1851 to the ex-
tent of supporting an additional pop
ulation of 1000, 900, an increase which
can be ascribed with confideL ce mainly
to improved cultivation. So in every
country where agriculture receives the
attention it deserves the productive
power of the soil has largely increased
Even the Atlantic States of the Union,
where the system ofcultivating the soil
without maintaining its fertility by
proper treatment prevailed for many
years, are not an exception, since the
condition of agriculture is rapidly i'm
proving i'm the oldest of them, where
this system was earliest begun, and the
general average of crops, with the ex-
ception of the potatoe, is increasing
from year to year as a more proper
culture is introduced and preserved in
the farmer being led to improve his
practice by the pressure of an increas-
ing population and constantly rising
prices In New England, for instance,
the general average yield of Indian
corn per acre has risen to about 35
bushels, while crops of SO and SO
bushels per acre are not uncommon,
and 80 and 100 are sometimes attained
by careful tillage.
