partly anyhow. The eagerness- of buyers
to buy and the catiousness of producers TO
contract make the situation interesting.
We find among the western districts OF
Pennsylvania, manufacturers contracting
for the wool of what may be called moua-
tain sheep at half a dollar, and in Ken
lucky they are asking forty-6ve to forty
six cents, on board the cars, and will MOI
sell for less. In Texas nothing can fe

| half cents that is desirable. In California
the farmers have exalted ideas and do not
care to contract on the northern ranches,
preferring to wait in anticipation of Sc
curing higher prices. They are now hold
ing bury southern woods at twenty five to
thirty cents firmly. Wool growers, in fact,
expect to secure extravaganza prices this
season.-The Western Rural.
WRY WE BUTTER OUR BREAD.-The
layers of wheat berry, as we proceed to-
ward the center, become more and more
completely starchy, and at the center but
little else is found, and this portion makes
our finest flour. The finer the -four the
less fit it is for nutrition. In its natural
state the.wheat, with all its comPonents
present, is not fitted for perfect human
development. There is a deficiency in tie
potential heat-producing materials, espec-
| tally for cooler climates, there being two
per centum of fat in wheat. We instine-
lively supply this deficiency by the addi-
ton of fatty bodies. We spread butter
upon bread, we mingle lard or butter with
our biscuit or cake, and the fat meat and
bread are taken alternatively or colnci-
dentally. The starch, being carbon ny
drate, can afford, comparatively but little
| heat iu consumption, and the fats are de-
| manded by the wants of the system.
To REMOVE INK FROM CARPETs.-Inl1
which has been spilled on carpets or WOOL
len goods should be attended to while wet
if possible. Take clean blotting paper or
cotton batting and gently sop up all the
;x,1, hat hoo in
sweet milk on the ink spot and sponge it
with fresh batting. It will need to be re-
newed several times, using fresh milk and
batting each time. Do not rub the spot,
but sop it with care in order not to spread
the ink. After the ink has disappeared,
wash the spot with clear water and dry
with cloth.-Good Health.
ONE WHO knows the labor Of BEATING
eggs for pound cake says that the cake will
be just as nice if they are not beaten at all.
1t you will cream the butter and sugar
together until smooth, then stir in first e.
handful Of flour, next two eggs, another
handful of flour, two more eggs and so or
until you have it all mixed; add the flavor
ing, stir a few minutes and it is ready for
the oven. could not be induced to try the
above recipe for some time after heard it,
but since T have tried it | do not make
cake any other way. I think if my sisters
will try it they will like it as well as l do.
THE FIRST year a sleeps front teeth are
eight in humber, and are all of equal size.
The second year the two middle shed out
and are replaced by two much larger than
the others. The third year two very small
teeth appear, one either side of the eight.
At the end of the fourth year there are
six large teeth. The fifth year all the
front teeth are large. The sixth year all be-
gin to show signs of wear.
The JAPANESE keep meat fresh in hot
weather by placing the raw flesh in.porce-
lain vessels and pouring on it boiling wa
ter, whereby the albumen of the surface
is quickly coagulated and forms protec-
ton against further action of the water.
Oil is then poured on the surface of the
water so as to prevent the access Of air
and consequent putrefaction of the meat.
A MAN who has tried it says vermin
give cedar wide berth; and hedge Of
white cedar or arbor- vitae near the henne-
ry is sure protection for poultry against
all insects.
