Mormon Customs.

The famous case of George Reynolds
as. The United States has been decided
in the Supreme Court against the plain
titf 1t was test case in pOlygamy
and has been watched in Utah through
out its course with degree which can
not be appreciated outside the territory
of the Latter-Day Saints.
The real wealth and resources of
Utah'are very little understood by the
outer world. 1t was the interest of the
Mormons to represent it to the people
of this country as desolate region,
little better than a desert, only capable
of supporting human life in a limited
portion of its area. The facts are the
reverse of this. Lifelong residents of
the territory aver that its resources only
need development for it to become the
richest State in the Union. 1t is more
than twice the size of Ohio. 1t is pro-
tected from bleak winds by its mount
aims, and possesses within its own
limits every variety of climate and soil.
In the Rio Virgin Valley the fruits of
the tropics are produced in abundance,
while elsewhere wheat, barley, apples,
pears and other growths of temperate
climates thrive as well as in Ohio. Ir-
rigatiOn is usually necessary, but the
clear mountain streams on every hand
render this very easy. Farmers there
of late are turning largely to the culti-
walton of Spanish clover, or alfalfa,
which bids fair to become one of the
most valuable forage plants in the
country In Utah it yields from three
to eight tons to the acre, and three to
five crops year, and for a steady thing
is as valuable as gold mine.
The Mormon territory has the adyan-
tage Of almost every State except Cali
fornia, in that il is equally adapted to
agriculture, stOck-raising and mining.
Its climate is rs healthy as that of Col
orado, its atmosphere singularly clear
and pure. Its surface is divided into
valley, table-land and mountain. I'm
mense numbers of sheep and cattle are
annually reared and exported-pastur-
ing on the mountains in summer, and
in the valleys in winter. Almost no
winter shelter and feeding are required
for stock, in some parts none at all.
The mineral resources of Utah are
equal to its agricultural and grazing
capacity. They are little developed as
yet, and the famous Emma mine fail
ure somewhat prejudiced mining stock
spectators against Utah as mineral
producer. The latest published statis-
tics show, however, that the Emma
mine experience was by no means the
usual thing in that Territory. Exten-
sive deposits of Ignite coal have been
discovered, and the coke therefrom is
Of a good enough quality to use in lead

The Time for Intelligent Discussion.

The winter is time of comparative
leisure for farmers; but it is by no
means time for idleness. To a
thrifty, industrious farmer no idle time
ever comes. 1t is during this leisure
time that plans are to be matured for
the ensuing seasons work. During
severe cold weather, such as has re-
Gently prevailed, a common farmer can
not expect to do much beyond feeding
his stock and keeping a supply of fuel,
as it will seldom pay for a man to 90
out in such severe weather to engage
in ordinary work. The wear of the
system and injury to the constitution
will be greater than any compensating
benefit that can be derived from the
amount of labor performed. 1t is bet
ter to rest on these stormy days and
recuperate strength and vigor for the
spring work. But this rest should be
improved in laying in a good stock of
information for future use. There is
often a strong tendency or temptation
to spend stormy nights at the village
store or cross-road grocery, in lounging
and idle gossip or proftless conversa-
tion. If on these occasions, when
farmers thus meet to spend an hour to-
gether they would spend the time in
the intelligent discussion of questions
relating to their calling as farmers, the
time thus spent might be made con-
ducive to the interest of all so en-
gagged; but it is too frequently the case
that the conversation as carried on at
such times is not Of very elevating
character, but rather tending to de-
grade and demoralize all participants.

The continued and unvarylng success Of DIR.
F. L. Pond, OF Aurora, ILL.,, In his treatment
OF cancer and kindred diseases, is something
80 extraordinary as TO be worthy OF more than
passing notice. Since the Doctor iirst opened

scourge had fully developed and fastened IT.
self on some vital part of the system; but by
far the largest number only came TO the Doc
tor when their family physician had given
them up and hope had almost fed. Yet, not
withstanding what might properly be called
such unfair odds against him, the Doctor has
but seldom failed to cure even these desperate
cases, and in no instance has he failed to give
relief. Such a record Is simply marvellous.
The Hospital Is capable of accommodating in
the neighborhood of 800 patients. II should
be said, here, that this institution is not hos
pital In the common aceeptation Of the term.
There are no large wards, where numbers OF
patients are lodged together, TO annoy each
other with their complaints. Nor is the at
tendance OF that mechanical sort 80 generally
afforded. At very moderate charge each pa.
tient may have room TO himself, and the
most careful and tender attention Is bestowed
on all. All afflicted with Cancer are advised
TO 20 at once TO DIR. Pond.

A Detroit Game.

This is the way it is played: A man
past the prime of life, poorly dressed
and having mournful quiver in his
voice, takes two old oyster cans, partly
fills them with sand, does them up in
neat shape, and. selecting a house, he
calls the lady to the door and says,
MADAM, I'm old and poor, but Pm
not thief. l found these oyster cans
on the street, and won't you be good
enough to keep 'em till the owner
calls?" "Why, the owner may never
call" replies the lady. "That's so;
but I'm not able to buy milk and crack
ers, even if l had oysters; you'd better
keep 'em awhile anyhow. If no one
comes the cans are yours" Sometimes
the old man makes quarter, and some
times only bite to eat. The owner
does not arrive and the family prepares
for fried oysters for supper. When the
paper is torn off some folks laugh-and
some don't. Some say they'll hunt over
every rod of ground in the United States
but that they'll find the old man and
make him eat the last grain of sand and
the cans to boot.-F'ree Press.

Egg Sauce. Boil three eggs hard,
cut them in small squares, and mix
them in good butter sauce; make it very
hot, and squeeze in some lemon Juice
before you serve it.
CRANBERRY JELLY.-Make a very
strong isinglass jelly. When cold mix
it with double quantity of cranberry
juice. Sweeten and boil it up; then
strain it into q shape. The sugar must
be good loaf or the jelly will not be
clear.
--Liebig has shown that oatmeal is
almost as nutritious as the best of beef,
and that it is richer than wheaton bread
in the elements that go to form muscle.
Western hunters and trappers make a
nourishing drink by putting about two
spoonfuls of oatmeal in glass of water.
Snow Cake.-To a pint of corn
meal add tablespoonful of sugar (su-
gar may be melted if preferred), and q
pinch of salt; stir in pint of dry snow

turn the mixture into q well-buttered

with butter or milk, or sweet cream.
1t is delicious.
The cost ofkeeping horses is greater
than that of keeping oxen. With horses
you lose in a great measure what you
feed out, as horses can't be sold for
beef. For instance, you purchase a
pair of oxen in the spring for $40;
work them kindly, care for them through
the season, and sell them for beef in the
fall for 5000; or quite an advance on
first cost.
"A very agreeable and effective drink
for colds is flaxseed lemonade, made as
follows: Four tablespoonfuls flaxseed
(whole); one quart boiling water
poured upon the flaxseed; juice of two
lemons, leaving out the peel; sweeten
to taste, steep three hours in covered
pitcher; if too thick add little cold
water with lemon juice and sugar;
serve cold; cracked ice improves it.
"A farmer of experience says that
the feet of a horse require more care
than the body. They need ten times
as much, for in one respect they are al
most the entire horse. All the groom
ing that can be done won't avail any
thing if the horse is forced to stand
where his feet will be filthy. In this
case the feet will become disordered,
and the legs will get badly out of fix,
and with bad feet an6bad legs there is
not much else of the horse fit for any
thing.
Apple Fritters. and core
some fine pippins (other good cooking
apples will answer, but l use pippins)
and cut into slices. Soak them in
sugar and nutmeg for two or three
hours. Make batter of four eggs, a
tablespoonful of rose-water, table
spoonful of cordial and Tablespoonful of
milk; thicken with enough -four, stirred
in gradually to make the usual con-
sistency of batter; mix the batter when
you put the slices of apple to soak.
Heat some butter in frying pan; dip
each slice of apple separately in the
batter and fry brown; serve hot with
powdered sugar sifted over them.

A Workhouse for Tramps,

The State of Maryland has just built
Il workhouse for tramps, near Balti-
more, at cost of 1924, 900, upon a plot
of ground 500 feet long and 800 wide,
surrounded by a high wall. The in
terror is made up of workshops and
cells. The statute for commitment
reads: 1T shall be the duty of every
Justice of the Peace of the State to
cause to be arrested, and on due proof,
to commit any vagrant, or habitually
disorderly person, not insane, to this
institution for period of not less than
two nor more than six months" 1t is
expected that this will very soon rid the
State of Maryland of the tramp nui-
sance.
