OF meeting in this manner encourages read

AGRIC 7 i T i R A /.

Now that the hoarse, no hollow-sounding
xinds of winter begin to sweep down from
the north. and the sun, rising at a late hour
and creeping along the horizon scarce a
hands breadth above the mountain tops
now gray with winter-sinks early to rest,
making the nights long and drear, it is well
h0r the farmer who would look out for the
comfort and happiness of his household to
moyide for profitable way of spending
these leisure hours. Not only should he
look out for himself and his better half, if
he should be so fortunate as to be a man of
family. but he must look to the interests of
the little ones growing up around him.
Let him provide books and papers tor them

which to improve their minds than these
long evenings. II the children are too small
TO read, then read to them; if not, see that
they read to you. If children grow up
about house that is destitute of anything to
read they spend their leisure hours in idle
ness, and the habit, once formed, will stay
vita them through life. On the other hand,
II they are provided with a good library OF
books and papers, it they see father and
mother spending their leisure time in read
ing, they will form similar habits. Vhe
home can be made the dearest and most
pleasant spot on earlh, aud should be; with
parents rests the responsibility. The farm
srs sons and daughters will love the old
farm house and its cozy fireside, if the Win
tor evenings 60 pleasantly by, and as they
grow up to manhood and Womanhood their
neal of life will be that of the farmer, and
well-ordered home will be the acme Of
their ambition. Then SOW the seed early.

TINE HOUSEHOLD.
RECIPES.

Water Rising Bread.-Take quart pitch
er and spoon; scald them ill the pitcher
half full Of boiling water; cool to the tenn
perature of good hot dishwater; stir in flour
to make batter as thick as flour pancakes;
add q quarter teaspoonful of salt and as
much soda, cover closely, set where it will
keep quite warm, stirring occasionally /; it
will rise in five or six hours. Some prefer
this to hop OF. brewers yeast.
Dried apple Cahe.-A lady sends to the
I.te7- Ocean this recipe tor dried apple cake,
which is good for a standby, or to have on
keep long time and. like fruit cake, the
older the better: The night before soak the
apples an hour, then chop them fine and add
molassrs to cover; let them stand over night;
lin the morning stew down until candied, be-
ing careful not to let burn. For the cake,
one cup sugar. one cup sour milk, one Of
butter, yolks of three eggs, one teaspoonfll
soda; add spices to taste add the apple. It
is better to stir in the apple with the eggs,
butter and sugar, as it is hard and will be
much easier stirred in.
ScalIoped Mutton.-Cnt cold boiled or
roast mutton into bits, removing all skin and
gristle. If you have no gravy, make il by

An ineer's Dash.

Secretary of State Irgens, who arriv-
ed in the city this morning from his
Mower county farm, reports great ex-
citement in that vicinity from the
presence and operations of a large body
of tramps, who have temporarily
squatted down just across the State
line, in Iowa. The tramps are said to
number in the neighborhood of two
hundred, and are composed of men
many of them particularly hard look
ing cases-who have come into that
section for the ostensible purpose of ell
gaging in the harvest just now COM
mencing.
The presence of so large a number of
idle men has been n our of great UNI
e~asiness, but it was not until yesterday
that their conduct was such as to cause
serious alarm. Then the entire body
assembled along the line of the Bur-
lington and Cedar Rapids Railroad,
and, upon the arrival of the train Tor
Austin, by threatening demonstrations
attempted to bring it to a stop. The
engineer, however, seeing that the
track had not been interfered with,
put on a full head of steam, and before
the mob had time to comprehend the
owe the train had passed through
them and was out of danger. st. Paul

Air every sl~eeping-room thoroughly
every morning, and, if possible, let in
the sun shine on the beds and bed
clothes. Often ut night when the heat
is well-nigh ~unbearable, a wet cloth
hung in the window over the blind will
cool the room as if a shower had fallen,
and every one knows how water
poured on the pavement in front of the
door will freshen the hot dry air. This
principle of the reduction of tempera-
ture by evaporation is capable of much
practicable application. In India and
other tropical countries, where ice is
almost unknown, the natives cool their
drinking-water by ~suspending earthern
jarsfilled with it in a brisk c%urrentof air,
which process is said to cool it thor
oughly and rapidly. So, also, when ice
is unattainable, butter may be kept
firm and sweet by setting the bowl con-
tanning it in a shallow vessel of water
and covering with a napkin, the ends
of which are well immersed in the
water in the bottom dish. A wet hand
kerchief OF sponge worn in the hat
when exposed to the sun, as in the
harvest field, will prevent sunstroke
under the most intense heat known to
our climate, and will often relieve
headache arising from heat and exhaus-
tiOn combined.

A Chicago pastor, a few Sundays ago,
preached on 1.-The Relation of Heat to
Holiness" taking from his text the
words, "And Simon Peter stood and
warmed himself" Il passage which
does not seem to prove much in respect
to the aids rendered by caloric to piety.
Many Christian seem to lose their re-
ligion in hot weather. But it may be
that heat is helpful in certain cases to
Christians, for we mark its influence in
the Second Baptist Church ofSt. Louis,
where in response to an appeal for
$1,000 to lay the foundation of their
main church edific we are told that the
thermometer was at 100 degrees, and
$4,000 were pledged in fifteen minutes.
Whether any gave more than they
would have done because they wanted
to hasten their dismission is an open

"He had arrived at an advanced age,

target as to the position of the tracks.
The b5lt underneath the upright
target, which was secured by wire key,
was withdrawn, and the rails pryed out
of place, so that no train east or west
could pass without being ditched. AS
