Pickle for Beef.
The following is recommended by
the New York Cooking School: Boil
four gallons of water with one ard a
half pounds of brown sugar or moas-
ses, two ounces saltpeter, and nine
pounds salt, until all are dissolved
skim as fast as the scum rises; cool
the brine or pickle thus made. Pack
the meat closely in barrel, pour on
the pickle, and keep the meat un-
der it by means of a weight. This
quantity is sufficient for an ordinary

write few words only:
IF IL is indeed Herbert who has put
the enclosed advertisement in the pa
per. he will find me at No. 2S. Rue,
Paris, ever his faithful, loving be-
trothed, LEDA MORRISON.
Then she put the advertisement in
the letter, sealed and directed it, and
sent It over the ocean to the anxious
lover waiting and praying for tidings.
The English classes were never neg
Iected, the comfort of the aged widow
who was Leda's companion was never
forgotten, the old daily duties of life
were conscientiously performed. but
1t seemed to Leda as II her whole life
concentrated upon the arrival Of mail
steamers after there was possibility
of receiving an answer to her short
note.
She grew pale with restless nights
when the dream of her youth came
again to keep her wakeful. All the
old love, the old hope, the long ago
conquered despair and pain came back
to haunt her as abe waited with re-
newed hope for tidings.
II am growing old and worm" she
said. one day, looking at her pale face
in the mirror; II am not the bloom
ing girl Herbert loved, but careworn
palid woman
And her own sad eyes could not see
the rare beauty of the sweet face. But,
still thinking of her love, she twisted
her hair in heavy coronet over her
shapely head, and upon one side put
knot of blue ribbon.
Herbert liked it So" she thought.
Then she pinned blue ribbons over
her gray dress, under a soft lace COL
lar, and put OIL brooch her adopted
father had given her which was a fa-
vorite with Herbert. And thinking
sadly of the change years had made,
she was summoned to her sitting
room to meet grave. middle-aged
man changed also, until upon his lips
and in his eyes she read his coustan-
cy. and answered it by her own.
Years rolled back as these two,
faithful through all, met at last to
know their hearts still young, their
love still true, as it was In those days
when cruel fate separated them

wall behind NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

With all the golden promise of the year.

And Autumn stores that will such glad

FOR THE FARM.
ya,ue of a Thoroughbred Hog.

aA1AG Oh u AAOks
The thoroughbred pig, in starting a
herd, says Rural Sur', is chiefly valua-
BILE in breeding to common stock. By
using a thoroughbred boar upon COM
mon sows, you get half-blood that
does very well for feeding purposes,
which can be still further improved
by selecting the best SOW pigs, feeding
them literally, and again getting a
thoroughbred boar and using on them
which, if practised- few years, will
produce porkers equal to the pure
blood. But grades or impure males
should never be used, as the tendency
Is to run back to the scrub. The
thoroughbred, if purchased young,
can be had at S25 to $50 each. They
can be used one season and sold, oil
castrated and fed, when be will OF
himself almost or quite pay for bis
original cost.
At first thought to many, the price
of pure blooded pig may seem high;
but really, 1t is better to pay the price
than to let your sows go to a scrub fol
nothing. Say you pay S25 for boar
and breed twenty sows. They will
raise say one hundred pigs (Which i:
low estimate.) The pigs cost TWEEN
ty-five cents piece, and will max
hogs that will weigh, at fattening, on,
hundred to two hundred and fifty
pounds more than scrubs (Which grade
pigs will do). on the same feed. Yor
have. therefore, an increase of value
of from $500 to 500 In one year, with
prices of pork at So per hundred, ant
you have your boar left. Can you in
vest at larger per cent? And ther
the lower the.pric of pork the NOR,
important that you do not sQuandel
your feed and time in raising anC
feeding scrubs.

Since their emancipation, it is un-
deniable that the colored people of the
south have been dying off at fearful
rate. They have crowded into the
cities and large towns, occupying the
unhealthiest quarters, and have con-
tracted diseases previously almost un-
known among them. The present
average mortality of negroes in the
Southern cities is twice that of the
whites.

Treatment Of Young Bulls.

To make first-class animal, young
bull should run with the COW till he is
six months old, at least; or If weaDed
earlier, fed on new milk just from the
cow three times a day till he is six
months old, then twice daytill he is
eight months, then once day for a
month or so longer. At an early day,
say q month old, give him a little
good, fine hay to pull at, and later let
him have some oatmeal, a little oil
cake, vegetables, etc., increasing the
rations gradually as he grows older.
Weaning from milk should be gradu-
al and in pasture time. Ringhis nose
at eight months, and handle him from
that time on, daily. After he is
weaned. feed as you would other cat
tie to keep them in the best condition.
Do not handle the ring after it is put
in until the wound is entirely healed,
and rub on his nose snme mutton tall
low twice a day.

To Measure Grain In a Bin.

By the United States STANDARD 2, $50
cubic inches makes bushel. Now as
cubic foot contains 1,72S cube inch
es, bushel is to a cubic foot Is 2, l50 Is
to ,72S, or for practical purposes as
to 5. Multiply the number of feet
wide of the bin by the length, the re-
snlt by tho depth, then divide the pro-
duet by 5, and multiply the suotient
by 4, which number will give the
quantity in bushels.
Another way to measure corn In the
crib: Multiply the length. breadth
and height IN feet, to obtain the cubic
feet, multiply this product by four,
and strike off the right figure, and the
result will be shelled bushels, neatly.

larly attracted by one bearing the title
OF yankee Doodle" There are three
figures in the sketch. The n on the

teer, who, with his ear piercing instru.
ment, Is playing the soul stirring
stratus of Yankee Doodle. His head
Is bandaged, and one catches the idea
that he has received q wound in the
thickest Of the fray. The center figure,
and the one that appeals To the syinpa.
thies of the ~l0oker-on, Is that OF an old
white. haired patriot. who accompanies
the fifer on y snsre-drum. Every lin.
eament OF bis face betrsys his stern
determination and patriotic impulses,
and q can imagine him keeping step
to the music and advancing with .
purpose to confront the enemy and
cheer his own side by his brave exam
pie. To his right Is . nere lad, also
with his companion, but instead Of
looking to the front, he turns his anx.
ious gaze to the face Of his elder, and
there gathers inspiration and courage.
A dead soldier lies In the immediate
foreground, and the smoke Of the bat
tie rises all around. The artist chose .
stirring subject. and the picture ap-
peals to the heart Of every American
citizen and recalls to him the history Of
the times that tried mems souls.
