HINTS TO FARMERS.

us IO FAX M Ek&Ss
Head cheese, or sausage, can be kept
an indefinite time as fresh as when
first made if you will make them
(sausage) in small cakes. Fry them
slowly until we'll done, then pack
away in jars, pouring the fat that fries
out over the sausage, being careful to
cover we'll with sausage gravy. When
the jar is full set away in any conven-
lent place, and next harvest eat nice
fresh sausage, if you have fried out all
the water.
Care of seeds is especially necessary
during winter, for after all possible
care in collecting them they are often
lost through inattention. Mice are
exceedingly fond of some kinds of
flower and garden seeds, and their ac-
cess to them should be guarded against
The desire to keep the mice out, how
ever, should not lead you to keep the
box in which your seeds are contained
air-tight. necessity they must con-
tain more or less moisture, and, if
kept in considerable quantity in an
air-tight vessel, they are sure to get
moldy.
Farmers, spay your sows before fat
tening them. There are thousands of
dollars lost to us every year by not
doing it. The shippers and packers
have combined to dock us forty
pounds on every SOW that looks as
though she might ever have any pigs.
This is a heavy shrinkage, but we
have to submit to it; yet we have the
remedy in our own hands. II we
have our COWS spayed they cannot
dock US. preeeume that the reason
so many do not spay is that they are
afraid Of losing many. have just had
some spaycd and did not lose any, and
l am confident that when properly
done we viii! seldom lose any. Every
farmer ought to know how to spay,
aud teach his boys how 10 do it.
In order TO keep fruit several con-
ditions are important. In the first
place, the atmoshere of a fruit room
should be dry; there should be no
more dampness than ordinarily exists
In the cold outside air. The room
should be susceptible of ventilation in
proper weather, not by direct currents
of air, but by air modified before it
reaches the fruit. A fruit room must
be frost proof; it must be cleanly and
accessible. AS regards location it may
be placed on side hill, the excavation
opening to the south; or it may be
placed under a barn or stable, or 9TH
er convenient out building.

had unfastened the ponderous front

Did you say it was at your window
you saw him, Miss Katie p he asked.
ans Yes, close to the window-beckon-
ing me to come ''
But it couldn't be, Miss protested
the man. Look at the smooth snow.
There is naught on it for three yards
around your window, let alone the
sparrow's tracks. Sure there's never
q footprint touched it since the snow
fell three days ago.
'For all that, saw him. she said ;
lifting blanched and haggared face
toward her mother. I saw him. Oh,
mamma, mamma, put away the fow-
ers and the bridal veil. shall never

Darling soothed her mother, you
are nervous. 1t was only dream. Go
to bed now, and rest
But Katie kept on saying. l shall
never be married now
Early the next morning, old Michael
eet off for the florists for the freshly
cut flowers which had been ordered
for the wedding breakfast. But he
had scarcely reached the gate, when
he saw the outline of something dark
lying in the snow which caused him
to stop abruptly. 1t was the figure of
a man, his white face turned upwards
to tho sunrise, and q tiny crimson
spot on his left temple-thes spot where
a bullet had snapped his life away
with q deadly aim. And the pros
trate figure was wrapped, as in a
shroud, with q long, fur-trimmed
coat.
God help mel cried out old Mich
ael; sit's Mr.. Falconer, just as Miss
Katie saw him last night
1t was quite true. Robert Falcon
er had been assassinated on his way to
the house of his bride elect on that
moonlight midnight. And a veil and
tattered shawl caught in bush nearby,
led to the almost immediate identifi-
cation OF the assassin.
Il didn't mean TO do it, said Marga-
ret Hull, sullenly. tIt wasn't him as
I meant to hit when l fired the shot.
He had Karl POrter's fur overcoat on
and supposed 1t was Karl Porter
she added, with savage light in her
eyes. so if that makes murder, I'm
a murderess, I followed him, on the
sly, all the way from the Balton Arms,
an when 1 saw him cross the moon
light space by the gate. the church
clock struck twelve, and says to my
self: Now is my time. And fired,
and / saw him drop and all the time 1
supposed it was that false-hearted vii
lian who has made love to my Peggy,
and left her like q cast-off toy. Let
him look out for himself, for Ill kill
him yet
The poor half-crazed creature was

neral at the Conway house instead of

DoS,rs Fon OLD MAIDS.

Don't get sOured with the whole
world because some OF the brothers
did not take you in out of the cold !;
may be it was your fault.
Don't think when you look back
through the long years and see your
self, in Imagination, leaning over the
garden gate with that fellow on the
other side, that you made a narrow
escape. He might have only been
fooling with you.
DOn't think if you had it all 10 do
over again you would do differently
and better. The probabilities are you
would be about as much of goose as
you were then.
Don't try to make the whole world
believe that you are in downright
earnest and wouldn't marry the best
man on top of the ground if you conld
for you know you would.
Don't say that all women are sim
pletons who marry, for that is not
complimentary to your mother.
Don't thank goodness when you see
half a dozen urchins making it lively
for your neighboring sisters, that they
ain't yours. You don't know how
much fun it is to be wallOping them
with a slipper or dosing them with
paregoric.
Don't swear off from human society
and take all your stock in poodles or
pet cats. They are just as mean as
men when you refuse to crafty their
caprices.
Don't think the world don't put a
proper estimate upon your value. 1t
does Mothers are constantly point
ing to you as examples for their frisky
daughters.
Don't think you ought to smile the
less because you havn't any one in par
ticular to smile for. Smile for spite,if
for nothing else, just to make men
sorry that they left such a bunch of
animated sunshine 60 uncaptured.
Don't think you ought to be staid
and sombre. That's mistake. You
have so few of the responsibilities of
life that you ought to be as merry as a
bird all the time.
Don't think Eve made a mistake
when she concluded not to live an old
maid, for neighbors were so far apart
then that she would have been very
lonely.
Don't while away the dull hours by
becoming a gossip monger. If you
want an occupation start a base ball
club.
Don't wear long face and look as
if you dieted yourself on crab apples.
1t is just as easy to look bright, sweet
and pleasant. One of the brightest
mortals in our acquaintance never ac-
khowledged allegiance to any of the
lords of creation, looks as merry as a
June morning, and everybody likes
her.
Don't retire like recluse and grope
through life in solitude. The one who
is confined to his or her own society
alone has generally very uninterest-
ing company.
Don't think there is something radi-
cally defective about the world be.

NEW OIL REGION RICHER THAN
THAT OF PENNSYLVANIA.

NEW OIL REGION RICHER THAN
THAT OF PENNSYLVANIA.
News has been received of the sue.
cess of the oil tests in progress in the
Cumberland Mountains in Kentucky
and Tennessee. Since opening this
section, heretofore almost unknown,
by the building of the Cincinnati
Southern road through it. there. has
been developed general belief that
the region was even richer in oil than
that of Pennsylvania. One or two
wells or springs are already turning out
considerable quantities of oil, but not
at accessible points. Recently, how
ever. since the opening OF a portion of
the new railroad, Pennsylvania par
ties have invested largely, and have
been engaged in sinking wells near
McKinney's, small town on the road
at the foot of the Cumberland Noun
tains, about one hundred and twenty
five miles from there. Dispatches re-
ceived say that they have struck oil,
and that in large quantities, aud that
it is being brought up by the sand
pump. Excitement is already begin
ming to run high at Cincinnati, and in.
vestors are eagerly making inquiries
into the matter. One company OF Gin
cinnatians now own 400 900 acres Of
lands in these new oil regions.

some length by Mr. Morrison in regard to the
action of the Returning Board. Reference
was made to the compilation OF the returns,
rejection Of certain polls and parishes, intimi-
dation and violation of law on the day OF or
prior to the election, etc, but no facts not al

Witness said it was reported that Weber

Re. establishment.
The recently appointed superintendent Of the
Mint, ex- Gov Hahn. arrived in the city yester-
day. aud during the morning. assumed charge
Of the Mint property and the duties of his Office
During the day he was called upon by DEM
ocBAT reporter. and in reply to various inquiries
stated in substance that 1t would take at least
sixty days to put the Mint In order. DR.. Bon
zano. he said, had gone from Washington to
Philadelphia to arrange for the necessary
stamps and machinery to coin the silver dollar
with, and would make other arrangement for
the prosecution Of the work before his return.
New machinery would have to be placed
IN THE BUILDING,
more especially the motive power, which was
badly out of repair. Ii was expected. he said,
that the Mint would coin over q million dol
lars month from the bullion purchased here
and in Mexico, and when In full operation q
force of from eighty to one hundred hands
would be EN- ployed in all OF the departments.
During the day he called upon the Mayor,
who saii that the city would a. once comply
wi that section Of the law which says "tnat
before the expenditure of any money for the
Mint at New Orleans, the city OF New Orleans
all title and all claim of every character and all
conditions of forfeiture to the
LANDS AND PREMISES
upon which said Mint is located"
Superintendent Hahn says as soon as this
condition Is complied with the work will begin
and be pushed forward rapidly.
