sUord os warning to tie LesdyiIIe
Pilgrims.
COLORADO Farmer.)


The mining excitement is at fever heat
how much greater it will be We can not pre-
diet. Every train brings in scores and
scores, and the rush is not here yet. Those
who come now are at least two months too
soon. The great carbonate districts lie
buried under deep SHOWS. The camps now
are overcrogGed by hardy prospoctors, who
know the ground, the connry, and the
climate. Strangers without money, or, as
some term them, 'pilgrims," have but little
show of success. We only wish We could
avert he great distress that will inevitably
follow the pouring into our State of the
vast number of inexperienced men who are
comiDg-men and boys who never knew a
days hard outdoor work in their lives, VINO
do not understand 'roughing it,"
as we call this clambering over our
snow-capped mountains, sleeping on the
frozen ground or snow, prospecting on our
mountain sides with pick and shovel, sub
sisting on coffee, bsc1n, and hot biscuits.
Many and many ar the hspless youths
who will beg for bread before this craze Is
over. Many and many are the homeless
gold-seekers who will be laid to rest by
strangers hands on the mountain sides OF
our grim and grand old Rockies. The pa
pers Of the East should give true warning
TO their people, If il will do any good. Let
no one suppose that We don't believe that
we have IN our boundaries more precious
metals than any State in the Union, or the
world, but il We have, let no one suppose
but that there will be 999 failures to one
grand success. Those who can come and
support themselves may, but those who de-
family court suffering, beggary and death
sh0Uid stay AZ home.

HOW TO COOK A HUSBAND.

(OId Housekeeper)
The first thing to be done is to catch him.
Having done so, the mode Of cooking him
80 as 10 make good dish is as follows:
Many a good husband ia spoiled in the
cooking. Soue women keep them con-
stantly in hot water, while others freeze
them with couiugal coldness; some smother
them with haired and contention, and still
others keep them in pickle sll their lives.
Thee women always serve them up with
tongue sauce. Now it is not to be
supposed that husbands will be tender
and good if treated this way, but
they are on the contrary, very
delicious when managed as follows: Get
large jar, called the jar of carefulness,
(which all good housewives haveon hand),
place your husband in il and set him near
the fire Of conjugal love; let the fire be
pretty hot, especially let it be clear; above
all, let the heat be constant cover him over
with affection; garnish him with the spice
of pleasantly; and if you add kisses and
other confections, let them be accomparie led
with sufficient portion OF secrecy, mixed
with prudence and moderation.

LOOK TO THE LEAKS.

I've" iOi n AlAA' ptA-NtAt.J
The little leaks are what run away with
the rrof,s in farming, and it does not re-
quire much time or trouble, usually, to
stop the leak when it first begins 1t il the
slightest of work to replace rail or a
board when ii has been pushed from a
fence, but it is more serious to rebuild the
entire fence after it has been neglected for
years and permitted to tumble all to pieces
Nor is this all. A tumble down fence
may cost the farmer acres OF grain Many
a farmer has found corn trsmpled down by
the stock, which never could have entered
if he had replaced every rail as it became
dislodged. When decay once commences
it proceeds rapidly, unless checked at once.

placed. Very soon another board follows.

TEMPERATURES FOR CooKrSG.

ttOI. -. LOUIS L 1!il!es-J OUEndl.l
Different liquids come to boiling temper
ature at different degrees Of heat. Wa
ter boils at 2l2 deg. and all the fire you can
heap under it will never enable you to OBJ
tain higher temperature. Fats and oils
require much higher temperature, from
800 deg. to $50 deg. before they come to the
boiling point, which explains why fat il
used trying instead of water. Deserve your
frying pan when you throw water into no;
fat. If the temperature OF the lat is not
more than 2l2 deg. no visible effect takes
place, but if the temperature be above PIP
deg, the water il converted into steam and
exploded, and the higher the temperature
the more violent and rapid the explosion
becomes. Hence, when you desire to make
gravy by the addition of water to fat, If
you will allow the fat TO cool, you Will
have found the remedy for the kissing anj
steam OF which you complain.

ORANGES As A MEDICINE.
IENrhanral

\ vast number Of oranges are eaten by
the Spaniards, it being, in fact, no rncom-
mon thing for the children Of family to
consume ten or a dozen oranges each before
breakfast, gathering them fresh for this
purpose from the trees. Such wholesale
consumption OF what il commonly looked
upon as a luxury appears TO have no uu-
healthy effect upon the system. On the
contrary, the testimony of late eminent
physician authorizes the Use Of fruit as
most Wholesome Immediately on waking in
the morning he indeed, prescribed such
regimen to a friend az the only invigora-
ting and permanent cure for indigestion,
fLcetiously remarking at the time that he
gave her piece OF advice which, if it were
known to his dyspeptic patients, would cost
him his practice, as they might prefer so
simple remedy to his professional visits

THE CHINESE BIIU

As vas TO be expected, CaliforLia and
Oregon are remarkably indignant because
of the Presidents veto of the Chinese bill
and public meetings were held at all the
principal towns on the Pacific coast, Satur-
day evening, to give expression to the sem
timente of the people on the subject. The
talk about revolution, secession and kin
dred nonsense, reported from the west some
days ago, has no foundation in fact, and
had its origin in the frothings of little
mining newspaper; everybody is ashamed
of il, however, and the people, while re

AMMONIA FOR WASHING PURPOSES.
Minneapolis Housekeeper.1

IhIHhtHpO.Is hOusthttptf.I
For washing goods that fade, use cruds
ammonia instead of soap. Soiled necktie
may be made to look like new by take
ing one half a teaspoonful of spirits of
hartshorn to a teacup of water; wash we'll !;
and if very much soiIed, put through a
second water, with less ammonia in. Lay it
on clean white cloth, and gently wipe
with another until nearly drv. Then lay a
cloth over it, and smooth with an iron not
very hot. II the color fades it will all come
back to its original hue. Use no soap and
do not rinse.

AN ARGUMENT AGAINST FAT.

tSt. Louis Journal of Agricultural
Every year it is becoming more than ever
patent tnat animals are not the best or the
cheapest food. A fat steer may look,
weigh and measure well, but il We had any
means of determining the net amount Of the
carcass that was finally eaten, We fear it
would discount the dressed os net, weight
nearly fifty per cent. And what il true OF
steer is equally, and for the same reason
true both of the sheep and hog. Sooner or
later, but in time people will discover what
to many has long been known, that except
10 the denizsn OF the arctic regions fat Is
not food, and then. and not till then will
We realize that Indian cOru is not the sole
and only food fit for stock preparing Tor
market.

The old adage about going abroad for
the news, applies also TO coal. Jeaven-
worth coal is sold chesper in Atchison than
at the shaft in Lesvenworth. The Globe
says:
The Leavenworih papers are just now
vigorously engaged in reading the managers
of the Leavenworth coal mines lecture
They have read that Kovert, the koal king
of this kounty, sells that article cheaper in
Atchison than it can be had at the mine.

Many farmers think that this blooded
poultry business is all humbug, but be-
lieve in we'll bred cattle, sheep and hogs,
while for the capital invested, blood makes
more difference in poultry than with the
other stock that does not increase as fast,
or breed as young. Another thing-many
farmers sell of all Of the earliest and best
pullets, because they bring the most; it ia
poor policy. Always keep the best fo-

Every family finds more or less bones

and the ashes thus enriched is one of the
most valuable Of sll fertilizers Money
cannot buy any article which will 30 fer

A REMEDY FOR LOCK JAW.


Within the past few months new rem.
edy has been tried in the treatment of the
disease, and if We are to trust the evidence
Of those who have made the test-and there
seems to be no evidence for doubling it
with most satisfactory results. The remedy
consists in the hypodermic injection OF
nitrite of smyl. The nitrite is given in
doses Of 20 minims to so minims, twice Z
day. Recovery is reported in every in-
stance. The operation is simple one for
the veterinarian; and should 1t prove as
successful as it would now appear, it is an
addition of no small value in the treatment
of one Of the most intractable diseases the

You must understand there is right and

ever seen the process of evsrorstIng going
on at salt works knows that the salt falls
to the bottom. Just so it is in the pan
where your salt fsh lies soaking, and as it
lies skin down, the salt will fall to the skin,
and there remain; when, if placed with the
flesh side down, tue salt falls 10 the bottom
OF the pan, and the fish comes out properly

This is the month to watch potatoes, as
they are commencing 70 sprout. First,
wash them and then plunge few a. a
time, by means OF small baskets, into boil
ing water, and hold them there for four or
five seconds; dry and atore them. This
treatment destroys the vitality OF the buds
or "eyes" and there will be no tendency to
sprout and they will keep sound and of
good flavor till "new potatoes and green
