In q rocky strong hold, in a sandy de-
sert OF Arizona, lives a tribe of the Pueblos,
called the Moquis, about which but little
has ever been written in the history of the
aboriginal races of this country. A cor
respondent states that this people number
about two thousand five hundred, occupy
six villages, with houses built of stone
cemented with sand clay, and have proba-
bly, inhabited that particular region for q
thousand years. In appearance, the Moquis
come rather nearer to the Caucasian thar

like most of Indians, being rather industri
ously inclined. They live well, go respect
ably clad, but have neither church nor any
other place of worship-being wicked ane

Y,UNG CHICKENS AND INSECTS. The
practice of excluding chickens from the
garden, especially IN midsummer, is bad
both for the chickens and tor the vegeta-
bles. The young chicSens will not thrive
in confinement, as in freedom, and the
growing plants are IN good measure pro-
tected from insects by the chickens. We
have never succeeded better with young
broods than by putting them, with the
mother In the vegetable garden. The
mother is kept confined in a coop, and the
chickens have free access TO her. through
the Stats. She follows her instincts In
scratching over the ground under the coop
for worms and grubs. and after few days
the coop is pushed along to new soil. The
chickens are regularly fed with scalded
meal, or SCI e. mugs; they supply themselves
with animal food from the garden. The
chickens are too small to do any harm to
plants that are well started, and yet pick
up an immense number of insects. The
more highly garden is manured the more
rapidly 90 inst cts multiply and the greater
Is the need of birds and fowls to keep them
IN check. The chickens can go beneath
cucumbeIs, squasheS, beans, tomatoes, etc.
and pick the eggs and worms from the
under side of the leaves, where they are
generally found. They eagerly chase every
moth and bug that flies; it one alighls
within striking distance it is sure 10 be de-
Voured. When the chickens are large
enough to do injury to the plants they are
easily removed 70 other quarters.

SAVE THE OLD PAPER Never throw
away old paper, If you have no wish to
sell it, use 1t IN the house. Some house
keepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning
many articles of furniture. For an instance,
volumn, written by lady who prided
herself on her experience and tact says,
AFTER stove had been blackened. it can
be kept looking very well for long time
by rubbing 1t with paper every morning
Rubbing with paper is much nicer way of
keeping the out side of tea-kettle. coffee
pot and tea-po! bright and clean than the
old way of washing them in suhs Rubbing
with paper is also the best way of polishing
knives, tinware and spoons; they shine
like silver. For pol shihg mirrors, win.
dows, lamps, etc., paper is better than dry
cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much
better If brown paper instead OF cloth, is
tied over the jar. Canned fIut is not so
apt to mold ii piece of writing paper, cut
to fit the caI, is laid directly on the fruit
Paper is much better to put under a carpet
than straw. 1t Is warmer, thinner, and
makes less noise when one walks over it.

How TO DETECT ADULrERATED COFFEE

How To DETECT ADULTERATRD COFFEE -
Ground coffee affords field for adultera-
ton, and for this purpose chicory, carrots,
caramel, date seeds, ETC., are the substan-
ces most commonly y used. Take little of
the coffee and press it between the fingers,
or give it squeeze In the paper In which
il is brought; if genuine 1t will not form a
coherent mass, as coffee grains are hard and
do not readily adhere to each other; but if
the grains stick to each other; and form a
sort of 'cake, " we may be pretty sure of
adultt ration in the shape of chicory, for
the grains Of chicory are sof er and more
open, and adhere without difficulty when
squeezed. Again, if We place few grains
IN a saucer aud mCisten them with little
cold water, chlcory will very quickly be-
come soft like breadcrumDs, while coffee
will take a long time to soften. A third
test; take wine-glas or tumblerful of
water and gently drop pinch of ground
coffee on the surface OF the water without
stirring or agitatlng; genuine coffee Will
float for some time, while chlcOry or any
other soft root will soon sink, and chicory
or caramel will cause yellowish CT brown
ish color to dIffuse rapidly through the
water, while pure coffee VIII give no SEN
sible tint under such circumstances for a
considerable length Of time. Coffee
mixtures" or 'cotfee mprovers should be
avoided. They seldom consist of anything
but chIcory and caramel.

The earth's eastward rotation, together
with the increase In rate from the poles to
the equator, has a tendency TO throw the
waters of streams against their western
banks sufficient to produce quite marked
effects in many parts of the world. 1t is
noticeable in large rivers where the de-
posts are earthly, and the pitch of the water
is small and in the direction Of the stream,
the bank against which the water strikes
the more forclbly being high and steep
while the other is low. The effect has
been observed IN many streams Of Europe
and Asia, and on the rivers Intersecting the
low land OF the Atlantic border of the
United States.

WHooPING CoUeH.-Whooping cough,
called Pertussls by physicians, is said TO
be owing to the presence or bacteria under
the root OF the tongue. The cough is so
urgent that the breath becomes exhausted,
and, in the effort to draw in the needed
air, the top Of the windpipe seems to nearly
close, causing the whooping sound. The
old plan was to let the disease run its
course, being careful that the symptoms
were not aggravated by cold. Certain med
icines seem to act fav0rably in some cases,
and in others to have no noticeable effect.
The following have been recommended :;
The duid extract of hyoscyamus, from one
to four drops, depending on the age Of the
patient. A blister to back OF neck. Eric
lions to the spine twice a day, with onion
juice. Beat fresh egg IN pint of vim
esar and add half pound of loaf sugar !;
take two tablespoontuls every four hours,
The best treatment for the cure of whoop-
ing cough that has yet been discovered
undoubtedly is 10 expose the pa tents TO the
vapors arising from the purifying boxes in
gas works. But il is not always convenient
for the patient to visit these places; and it
has been found TO answer just as well to
procure some Of the LIQUID hydro carbon
that is always found at the bottom of the
purifying boxes, and vaporze this in a
metal dish in the closed room of the little
patient. 1t almost always affords imme-
diatc relief, and the whooping will not re-
turn for hours. This liquid can be obtained
at any gas works at little or no cost. and
no expenses need be incurred for vaponE-
ers. A tablespoonful or more may be
evaporated at Il time, and repeated once a
day or oftener. A large iron spoon makes
good evaporating dish. 1t may be held
over the flame Of lamp, or coal shovel
may be heated and the liquid poured in,o
1t and allowed to evaporate in the room of
the patlen'. This treatment would prob
ably be beneficial in the throat and lung
| troubles. 1t Is safe convenient aud mex

CHOOSING A Cow.-The crumply horn
Is good Indication; a full eye another.
Her head should be small and short. A
void the Roman nose; thus indicates thin

dished in the face, sunk between the eyes.
Notice that she is what stock men call a
handler soft skin and loose like the skin of
a bag. Deep from the loin to the udder,
and very small tail. A cow with these
marks never fails to be a good mixer.

ing Lake Erie and the Ohio river is being
seriously entertained. Two possible routes
are described by Major John M. Wilson,
United States engineer, the first way of the
Erie and Wabash Canal to the navigable
waters Of the Wabash river, which would
then make the connection through to the
OHIO the second by the Miami and Erie
Canal, which JOINS the Wabash and Erie
Canal, 103 miles south of Defiance, thus
connecting Toledo and the lake with the
Ohio river. The cost of either route is es-
timated at more than $25, 100000.

FEEDING BY soILING.-lt is doing fairly
to feed one cow on two acres by means of
soiliHg. A common cow may be expected
to produce $50 pounds of butter in year;
good cow may yield 250 pounds. The
product is increased 20 to 80 per cent. by
soiling and high feeding, because it is
made more regular and the milk is more
abundant and richer. The best feed for
milk and butter is coarse middhngs and

AGRICULTURAL.

PRESERVING FODDER. Recent careful
investigations have proved that mere
drying of our common fodder crops, as
grass, clover and other leguminous plants,
does not affect their digestibllity; the green
fodder and dry fodder, or hay, representing
in each case the entire vegetable substance
from the same plant in the same stage of
growth, have shown when fed correspond
ing rate of assimilation of their substance.
Whenever, therefore, the production Of
dry fodder (hay) can be carried on in a
short time, and in satisfactory manner,
the largest amount of dry fodder of the
highest attainable feeding value may be
secured from that plant, and no other
current mode of preserving fodder can
equal it as far as quantity is concerned,
Although admitting the fact that the sio
system of keeping fodder is. in high de-
gree, liable to cause waste OF much W
liable nutritive constituents, IN consequence
of an inherent serious acknowledgements
ton it cannot be denied that its applica
uon for the preservation of green corn
fodder has also some special strong points
and redeeming features III its .avor, name
ly: The Indian corn is one OF our most
reliable crops. The corn crop furnishes a
large amount of vegetable matter GO TO %
tons per acre, with from 16 to "a per cent.
Of dry matter, or from five to six tons OF
stover. containing 20 per cent of dry mat
ter). 1t presents peculiar difficulties to
cure well in the field; and the corn ensllage
is highly rehshed by all kinds of stock and
without any loss by refuse matter con-
sumed by cattle. When We consider
in addition to these exceptional advantages
which the introduction ei the slloS into our
home farm management promises TO secure
for us-that the discussion Of the feeding
value of the corn ensllage cannot other
wise but direct the attention of the entire
farming community towards careful IN
vestigation of the whole fodder question,
it becomes most desirable that the financial
si0e of the ensllage production should re-
ceive the most careful practical investiga-
uon on the part or the Iarmer.
