partitioned, shortly after the death of
Paine, the two tracts now in litigation
fell into the possession of family named
Clark, in the adjoining town of East
Chester, and remained in their hands for
nearly fifty years. This family ulti-
mately sold the tracts to the present
mortgagor, and he subsequently trans
ferred them to Winifred w. Mallory,
who afterward disposed of both portions
to John III. Trenor. Some years ago a
right of way through the property was
secured by a corporation which OBJ
tanned charter to construct what was
known as the "Northern Housatonic
Railroad" and this privilege has been
recorded since in all the deeds that have
passed between seller and buyer. The
remaining portion of the farm is occu-
pied by farmer named See, who also
has the use of the antique dwelling
where Thomas Paine lived for years, and
where he finally breathed his last.-N.

The Household.

How TO CLEAN OIL CLoTHs.-If you
wish to have them look new and nice,
wash them with soft flannel and warm
water. and wipe perfectly dry. If you
want them to look extra nice, after they
are wiped drop few spoonfuls of milk
over them, and rub them dry with a
cloth
SUET PUDDING.-One cupful chopped
suet, one cupful milk, two cupfuls sour
milk, half a cupful molasses, one and
half cupfuls Indian meal, one and a
half cupfuls -four, one teaspoonful soda,
salt.
ECONOMICAL SPONGE CAKE-Three
eggs, one cupful each of -four and sugar,
three teaspoonfuls baking powder, one
quarter pint of milk, sailed and favored
to taste; made thin. 1t is nice for Jelly
or strawberry cake.
TURNIPs AND PARsNIPs.-Take equal
parts of boiled yellow turnips and pars-
nips; mash together very fine, seasoning
with little salt and pepper, adding a
small piece of butter; put in a dish and
bake one-half hour in a moderate oven.
FORCED MEAT.-Take bread crumbs,
(dry bread grated ig IS good) add one
third as much chopped suet, thyme or
other herb to taste; salt and pepper; beat
up eggs enough to wet it to paste !;
stuff your roast, fish or fowl with it, or
lay it in the pan among the gravy.
CURE FOR TooTHACHE.-A certain
cure for this most agonizing of pains, is
to mix powdered alum and salt in equal
quantities; then wet piece of cotton
batting sufficiently to make the powder
adhere, and apply it to the hollow tooth.
1t never fails.

Apples Every Other Year.

One year ago the country was flooded
by an immense apple crop. They were
not worth the cost of picking and hous-
ing in many places. Farmers having
large orchards were tempted to give up
raising apples as farm crop, because
when they are plenty the price is low
that there is little profit from the crop,
and when the price is high there are no
apples Why it is SO shall not attempt
to explain, but it seems to be a fact that
apple trees bear about all their fruit in
even years. In a few orchards in New
England the trees bear in odd years, and
in some of the extreme Western states
the habit of bearing only in even years
does not seem to be as yet fully estab-
lished. The tendency, however, seems
to be all that way. Now we wish every
farmer and every farmers son would
make the experiment of picking off all
the fruit from at least one apple tree this
year, as soon as the fruit is as large as
acorns; aud from another tree pick off
the larger portion of the fruit at the
same stage, and note the results. Wheth-
er the bearing years can be changed by
this course, we are unable to say with
certainty. 1t has been often claimed
that the change might be made in this
way. At any rate the object is well
worth working for. The trees should be
MANFRED and the ground cultivated to
stimulate growth and formation of fruit
buds, as the crop of fruit is always de-
termined the year previous.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
Tent Caterpillars.

Tent caterpillars are nuisance which
it is the fault of the farmers that it con-
tinues to plague them year after year.
Their natural breeding place is the wild
cherry tree, particularly the black
cherry, so common in neglected fence
rows. A general destruction of these
and careful attention to the insects on
the fruit trees in summer, would soon
result in radiance of the pest. The
web caterpillar comes under the same re-
strictions and may be cured by the same
remedies. Immediate destruction of
them on the trees is best done by pulling
off with the hand (gloved) or burning by
means of wisp of straw or Chinese
cracker on pole.

A California Grain King.

Cores. Boston journal.
The grain king of the Pacific, if not
of the United States, is Isaac Frielander,
of San Francisco. He is of Hebrew
parentage, gaunt, awkward, plain
looking man of slashing gait, and one
whose form towers above all others in the
street. He isnearly seven feet in height,
and is about fifty-fve years of age, [
should judge. He is the pioneer in the
buying and shipping of grain and produce
from California to foreign ports. For
nearly twenty years he has been in the
business. Year after year he has paid
hundreds and hundreds of thousands of
dollars for wheat He has annually
shipped three-quarters of the wheat crop
of this state to England. His business
is conducted on the most colossal scale.
Several times he has met with reverses,
but he has quickly got upon his feet
again. A few weeks ago, owing to the
financial depression and stringency in
the money market he went under His
liabilities were $4,000, 900. With the adj
vance in wheat he has been able to COM
promise with his creditors at 25c on the
dollar, and has 50 far recovered from his

Tom Paine's Farm.

The historic associations connected
with the atom Paine Farm" at New
Rochelle, Westchester county, are being
revived at that place, inasmuch as the
property, or at least the greater portion
of it, is likely soon to pass under the
auctioneer's hammer. This farm, con-
sisting of about one hundred and fifty
acres of elevated, picturesque land, was
presented to Thomas Paine by the state
of New York in recognition of his patri-
otto services during the revolutionary
war. On this place Paine died and was
buried, as the weather-stained obelisk
which marks the grave informs those
who may read the inscription thereon.
In regard to the farm, Messrs. Banks &
Keogh, of the village named, have COM
menced an action in foreclosure of
mortgage of 81, 500 on portion it, COM
prising some fifty acres, situated on what
is known as the White Plains road, and
is reputed in the neighborhood to be
the highest ground in Westchester
county. This tract adjoins that part of
the estate on which stands the Paine
monument" The firm above mentioned
have also commenced an action to fore
close a mortgage for $1,000 on another
portion of the farm, containing seventy
two acres. When the estate was first

AN artesian we'll in Ventura county,
Cal, spouts up fish. In meeting of the
San Francisco Academy of Sciences,
specimens of the fish, supposed to be
trout, were presented. The well was
bored in 1871, and every year since has
thrown out immense quantities of freshly
spawned fish in April and May. The
well is capped, having three two-inch APP
ertures, from one of which people were
in the habit of filling barrels with water
for household uses. In that way the
fish were discovered. The cap was re-
moved. and fish were elected in large
numbers. In bucketful one-fourth of
the weight was fish. The fish are of
various sizes. the largest about an inch
in length. The nearest stream where
fish are found is twenty-five miles away.

ON MT. WASHINGTON.
BY ANNA c. BRACKET

We left behind the leafy arms OF shade
The green soft grasses and the blossoms fair
Tft the brown brook that lulling m,lrmttr made
The smoke-plumed houses scattered everywhere.
BEFORE. gray rocks that rose in sleeper slope,
The softening snow, the glaciers foot-marks
rough,
The still-reeeding summit, mocking hope,
The glare and silence: was it not enough?
Above, the hturying msts went drifting by
Through rocky clefts; the night climbed up apace
We seemed on some spear point uplifted high
To gaze upon some terror face to face.
The gray dawn, streaked with angry red at last
Lit up the rocks, and when the sun burned
through,
Lo! on the western clouds the shadow vast
Of the great mountain doomed upon our view.
God have pity. Is there, then, no rest?
Must pain Is infinite as loving be?
Our weary feet the mountains path have pressed;
The laboring breath has come painfully!
Behold upon its side we wake, we sleep,
Forever elm Ding through its shadows deep.
Oh, when at last behind, beneath, it lies,
Let not its shadow fall upon the skies

has her young, but many are apt to be
lost by being born at night, especially if
the weather be raw, or wet, or cold. A
better plan is to put the SOW into roomy,
clean and airy pen, week or ten days
before she is due to drop her pigs, giving
but little litter, and if any is given. it
should be put in the pen long enough be-
fore she farrows to enable her to have it
well broken up before the small porkers
arrive. Care should be taken not to feed
too high Just before narrowing time, for
oyer-fat sows are apt to destroy their
young. Feed on partly green food, to
keep the bowels open and prevent constr
patton and its evil consequences.
As soon as the pigs are fairly born
they commence to draw from their
mother. When they are dry and nice
you can have chance to look at them;
and the old SOW should have all the food
she can eat. 1t is always advisable to
give as great a variety of food as posi-
bic, and plenty of it, and this will serve
to keep the SOW healthy. When the lit
tie porkers are week or ten days old,
have board taken off the bottom of the
pen, at the side, or hole cut therein, to
let them have as much exercise as they
wish. On the outside of the pen, near
the opening, a small trough can be put,
in which milk is put several times day.
This the pigs soon find and appreciate,
and it relieves the mother sow to con-
siderable extent from the constant and
heavy drain demanded 20 sustain 10 or
II squealers who are constantly pulling
at her.
At from 6 to weeks old they are fit
to take from the SOW and ship, or to pen
by themselves away from the SOW. As
soon as they are taken from the SOW, and
until they are from 3 to 6 months old,
they should have all the food they will
eat up clean, most of which should be
refuse milk from the dairy, especially
during the earliest stages of growth.
Never let your pigs get stunted, for it
takes long time to get them over it,
and it is very expensive and trouble
some task.

Swine Breeding.

David 4. Evans, of Maryland, is pretty
good authority on matters relating to the
care of swine. He writes this to the
Rural Home:
In swine breeding, do not breed the
SOW too young, not before she is at least
six months cid. If SOW proves to be a
good milker-can suckle her offspring
we'll and produce large and even litters-
then keep her for breeder just as loug
as she will breed, for every subsequent
litter will be an improvement on the
f rmer one. Some advocate leaving the
sow to run at large in the field when she

A Petrifed Serpent.
From the Black Hills times.


On the point of the hill above the
slaughter-house Chase and Vollins have
made new roAd-cut around the brow of
the hill, making a more accessible grade.
To effect this it was necessary to do much
blasting and quarrying. In the course
of this work they came upon the pet
rifed remains of large snake. The
ribs were distinctly outlined. 1t lis about

Old age may rest, the past to tell;

With crime, oppression, greed of place?
When earthly things say Dust to dust,''
And thou content to feel no grace?
OF deeds well done to smooth the way,
Or make path for weary feet
That toll and strive from day to day
To reach where Truth and Mercy meet?
Content to sit and idly float
Upon the current as it wills,
And thoughts of others glbly quote
AS steadfast as the ancient hills?
Content with little that you know
Nor seek to add plentier store,
OF present knowledge as you go,
Content with old traditions lore!
No. Not content while all of life
Lies just beyond within your reach,

To find your work, tits everywhere;
Whateer is next your hand, tits clear,
Is just the burden you should bear.
Where'er right is to advance,
Where'er a wrong to be redressed,
There is your place; poise well your lance
Spur to the charge! Leave God the rest.

Though high or low your station be,
Than that which measures full success

If | should die tonight
Ny friends would look upon nv quiet face,
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem tha death had left it almost fair,
And laying snow white flowers against my hair
Would smooth it down. with fearful tenderness,
And fold NV hands with lingering caress,
Poor hands so empty and so cold tonight.

Some kindly deed the icy hand had wrought,
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said:
Errands on which the willing feet had sped
The memory of my selfishness and pride
Nv hasty words would all be put aside
And so should be loved and mourned tonight.
III should die tonight
Even hearts estranged would turn once more to me,
Recalling other DAYS remorsofuly;
The ewes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as of yore, perchance,
And soften in the old familiar way,
For who would war with dumb unconscious clay {?
So might rest, forgiven of all night.
Oh, friends, pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for nv dead, cold brow;
