AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Petroleum for Fowls.

A correspondent of the Poultry Journal
and Record, living IN the centre of the
e Great Belt" of the petroleum producing
region of Pennsylvania, says: 81 have
had ample opportunity to test the value
of petroleum to the poultry fancier, both
in a crude and refined state; and [ can
safely say that it is one of the greatest
medicines than can be used. [ feed it in
the mixed feed to my poultry in the pro-
portion of tablespoonful once or twice
a week to five hens. Either this OF
cleanliness in my poultry yards has kept
me free from roup, cholera, and, in fact,
all other diseases. The free use of it will
cure roup entirely, and, believe, chol.
era also.

IIOITID GTTE-A bottle twO-thirdS !

LIQUID GLUE.-A bottle two-thirds
full of the best common glue, and filled
up with common whisky; cork up, and
set by for three or four days
SUET PUDDING.-One cup chopped
suet, one of molasses, one of sour milk,
one of raisins, eight of flour, one egg, one
teaspoonful of soda; stir adj together, and
turn into deep dish, and steam eight
hours; serve with sauce.
Corn BREAD.-Two cupfuls yellow
corn meal, one cupful wheat -four, one
half teaspoonful salt, and two teaspoon
fuls of anti-dyspeptic baking powder,
sifted all together; one-half teacupful
molasses and two teaspoonfuls of melted
butter stirred in the molasses; two eggs
well beaten, and milk to make a stiff bat
ter; bake in quick oven.
SALAD DRESSING. -Powdered yolk of
two hard boiled eggs, two boiled potatoes
passed through a sieve, one small onion
chopped very fine, one spoonful English
mustard, two spoonfuls salt, four spoon
fuls Lucca oil, two spoonfuls strong vim
egar, one soupcon anchovy sauce; rub
yolk of eggs, mustard and oil till per-
fectly smooth; mix, and rub all together;
if required thinner add vinegar. a1a
VEGETABLE SoUP.-Purchase a small
piece Of shin, with some meat upon it
q piece costs fifteen cents-put into the
vessel that you make the soup in four
quarts of water, with salt, boil three or
four hours, then add half teacupful Of
rice, one carrot grated, one turnip cut in
pieces, one leek, cut up stalk Of celery,
little pepper; just before serving for the
table, take out the shin, removing the
meat, which you cut in small pieces, put
the meat into tureen and pour the soup
over it; send to table to be eaten with
catsup or spiced sauces.
To SELECT FLOUR.-In selecting flour
first look to the color. If it is white with
a yellowish straw colored tint, buy it, If
it is white with blush cast, or with
white specks in it, refuse it. Second, ex-
anime its adhesiveness-wet and knead a
little of it between your fingers; if it
works soft and sticky, it is poor.
Third, throw little lump of dried flour
against smooth surface; if it falls like
powder it is bad. Fourth, squeeze some
of the -four tightly in your hand; if it
retains the shape given by the pressure,
that, too, is a good sign It is safe to buy
flour that will stand all these tests.
These modes are given by all old -four
dealers, and they pertain to a matter that
concerns everybody -the staff of life.

Hard Times in the Silver State.


The shadow of hard times seems to be
slowly creeping over the Comstock, and
the man who stands in the sunshine to-day
may be under the cloud tomorrow.
Hundreds of miners who have been out
of employment for months, go about will
ling to perform any kind of labor for any
thing in the shape of money. A few
months ago they were striving to see
their wives and children presumably
clothed and supplied with the little
luxuries of life. To-day they think of
only keeping them fed. They have no
longer credit at the grocer's, and the
butcher will not furnish them meat with
out the ready cash. Scores of these men
are walking the streets aimlessly, or lin
gering about the mines, begging for work
A miner falls down shaft and is dashed
to pieces. A hundred rush to fill the
place, content to have their faces famed
by the i'll wind that has blown him into
eternity. They stand about the gamb-
ling tables watching the ebb and flow of
other peoples fortunes A man with a
dollar in his pocket is celebrating
whether to buy -four for his family or put
the money on the board to double up.
He pushes it over card, and sees it make
its way into the dealers till. Then he
walks away with teeth tightly clenched.
You may see such sights nightly at any
of the gambling houses. Strong, able
bodied men call daily at the weddings of
citizens, asking for food or the chance
Of a nights lodging. The funds of the
Relief Committee are exhausted.

Tomato Culture,

The difficulty in raising tomatoes is,
we make the ground too rich. This IA
yors the growth of vines rather than that
of fruit. On the other hand, if the soil
is made poor enough to grow fruit well,
there will not be enough of the stalk; the
crop will be too small. This can be rem
edied somewhat by planting closer, say
three hills instead of two. But there
will be a lack, to some extent, of the size
and fine quality of the fruit. All this
can be obyiated and the largest and best
crops grown without any waste of vine
growth. This by keeping the growth in
b and, feeding the plant as is wanted for

TWILIGHT VOICES.

What are the whispering voices
That awake at twilight fall?
Do they come from the golden sunset
With their haunting, haunting call?
They tell me of breezy spring-times,
And of dreamy summer ewes,
And of snow-wreaths merrily shaken
From the shining ivy leaves.
But the far-off treble changeth
To 4 tenor tone, and so
/ know that the voices tell me
Only OF long ago.
What are the tuneful voices
That OF early dawn are born?
DO they come from the orient portals
OF the palace of the morn?
They tell OF golden city,
With pearl and jasper bright,
And OF shining forms that beckon
Out of the dazzling light ts
Then rush Of far-off harpings
Blends with the vision clear,
And [ know that the night is passing,
And [ know that the day is near?

An Argument Against False Hair.

The disadvantages of wearing false hair
were painfully illustrated at Millers-
vile, Pa, the other day. A boat in
which two young ladies and two young
men were passengers, capsized suddenly,
and one of the ladies sank out of sight.
As she re-appeared one of the men grasp
ed. her hat, which came off, The lady
sank, and on her second appearance
Jared no better, for this time the fright
ened youth caught her by the hair,
which, being false, came off in his hands,
and down she went again. At last how
over, she was caught by her real hair
and dragged aboard the boat, after hav-
ing what may properly be called a hair
breadth escape.

LOt-Jumpers in DeadWOOd.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.

This is what pilgrim writes from
Deadwood: " Lot-jumpers are bold, bad
men; they jumped my lot. They also
dodge bullets and let the wrong man get
shot. Night before last man jumped
his brother-in-law's lot, and when he was
upbraided therefor smote his kinsman
hip and thigh. The injured party got
his navy, found his man, took a good
aim, fired-and killed an innocent by
stander. About dozen of us smart
Allecks laid out a new street. We did it
by stealth, like thieves in the night, as
it were, to keep out the jumpers. Next
morning we went to take possession of
our lots and found our thoroughfare
blocked up with frame shanties We
withdrew. That's why | don't think a
lot-jumper is entitled to don angels
plumage when he shall have crossed over
to the other side"

claring that Russia will noe reply, says:
The Powers which seriously desire to re-es-
tablish an understanding and guarantee Of
general peace, must seek new basis more in
conformity with circumstances, without fur
ther dwelling on mistaken views or past
suits, which are best refution of English dis
patch, as respects the treaty OF 1877, rs ap-
pealed to in this dispatch. 1t may be asked
if the Porte was not the first to break faith of
the proceeding treaty of 1856. If the English
Cabinet maintains that the Porte was not
bound by it, then that treaty would only
serve to guarantee the Porte's entire I'm nunity.
All documents of that period, prove on the
contrary that European Powers did net mean
to defend regime oppressiveness of Christ
isns; they simply decided against the exclu-
sive protection of Russia; they substituted
for it, the common protection of Europe; the
rights and duties attaching thereto; they

fnSllsn cabinet regards the treaty OF 1896 as
impotent. That Interpretation will hardly
be accepted by Europe or even by the English
nation, especially not by the Russian Gov
ernment or nation, in interest of this treaty.
The common action and pressure of Europe
should not have been excited; Russia has
done everything fnr this purpose, but her ef-
forts were fruitless it only remained for
Russia to execute alone the duty which the

Cabinet is justified in affirming that 1t is act

interests of Europe. The English Cabinet
cannot extericate itself from tuis dilemma,
except by proc elaiming that 1t the first Mus
sulman Power in the world and that she Com
sequently wishes for the maintenance of Tur-
ism dominion over Christians even at the cost
of their determination. We hold the English
nation in too great esteem to believe it would
sanction such pelicy.

that locality, and not knowing of the change
that had been made, and seeing the gate at
the old entrance wide open, he drove in the
unused lane. He had not gone far when his
horse suddenly stopped. Surprising that moth
ing particularly was the matter, the doctor
was about to use his whip on the animal, when,
fortunately, it occurred to him that it would
be best not to hurry matters up too fast, and
got out of the wagon to examine the harness.
The animal stood quietly, and the doctor was
somewhat perplexed to know the cause of the
horses mysterious actions, after finding there
wasno perceptible arrangement Of the harness.
He looked around, when he saw that within
a few feet of him was a deep dark gulf--the
quarry above alluded to. A lantern, brought
by a friend, lighted him out of the difficulty,
and an accident was fortunately ayerted. As
to why the gate was open at this time we are
not acquainted, but it certainly was q worry
dangerous trap to the travelling public.

In q recent letter to The Interior the writer
says s'Any man has an individual right to

a right to buy for medical purposes, although
we may doubt the utility. But has man
moral right and ought he to have any legal
right given him whereby he may crafty such
an unnatural appetite, when such misery and
woe inevitably follow in its train. Man claims
the right to cat and drink whatsoever he
chooses. Yet, when he chooses to drink that
which makes him terror to his family and
neighbors, is be not exercising right which
it would be we'll not only for HIMSELF but for

man to transform himself--by the use OF

Don't everybody know that three-fourths OF
the criminals can trace their crimes direct TO
the influence Of strong drink? Again and

There are thousands OF men to-day who
would gladly be freed from the bondage Of
