After Cormorants with q Camera.
BY A. CONAN DOYLE, Md, C.M.

The weather was of that, clear, breezy
character which warns the heart of q
photographer. Our light craft danced
like cork upon heavy swell setting
up channel from the North Sea, and
"Chawles" began audibly to regret that
final plate of fporridge. The Doctor SEEM
ed impervious to the nauseating influ-
ence. He was apparently too busy
gauging the mental capacity of our Pas
linurus.
"Never been out of Grail ?" he asked.
"Ou, aye! mOny's the time. I've
been tie COckanzie and ance to Farfar."
"Splendid town that" said the Doc
tor, with nod rowards4he little knot
Of houses astern, and q wink which
was wasted upon the bilious ''Chawles." !"
AYE, Draw toun," quoth Sinbad,
with native pride.
"You must be lively in the winter
time" said the seductive physician.
a"Aye, an an awful wicked place." as.
sented the veteran, with q leer of much
meaning.
"Lots of dissipation, suppose" sug.
gested the Doctor.

"What sort of dissipation 2" asked.
"A' sorts of dissipation" answered

CURING HAMs.-The folling recipe
can be relied upon in dry curing hams.
For eighty pounds Of ham nicely
trimmed, take one pint Onondago OF
rock salt, one ounce Of saltpetre (nitre of
pstash) one-quarter Of apound of brown
sugar mix well together, and thorough
" rub the hams, leaving them flesh side
up. After "a hours rub again with one
quart of salt, one ounce ofsaltpetre, one
quarter of pound of sugar. Let them
lie ten days and smoke to suit.
FOR A PICKLE FOR HAMS OR BEEF.
We have used the following to our en-
tire satisfaction for many years: "Pack
the hams when cold In q clean barrel,
sprinkling on the bottom of the barrel
and over the hams, flesh side up, about
one pound of Turks Island salt to the
hundred pounds of ham, then pour over

FEED FOR LAYING HENs.-A cor
respondent asks: "Can hens be made
too fat to lay ?"-Yes, indeed. Fat hens
rarely lay. If hens are fed so much or
80 often that they begin to fatten rap
idly, they will soon stop laying. He
asks again "Is there anything better
than corn to make hens lay ?"-No food
is better than Indian or ground corn
(Indian mesD, to fatten hens, and Of
course it should be fed sparingiy to lay
ing hens. If hens do not lay and are fat,
feed them but once day-at evening

proportions as you judge best. Throw
the feed upon clean ground only 30 fast

" Salt Is Good. y

Centuries before the Sermon on the
Mount was delivered, and even until
now, the value of salt has been recog-
nized by all Intelligent beings. Wild
birds and animals travelled long dis
tancos in search of it, .and> often tarried
long in the places where it abounds.
Health is impaired unless salt is con-
tanned in the food of which we par
take. .. 1t is at once the cheapest and
most. wholesome substance that can be
employed for the preservation of imeat
and fish, Most hntiseptics are injurious
to health, but salt Is conducive to it..
1t is more desifc6a as a condir1ent than
all other substances whatsoever; the
appetite for. salt is universal. 1t is de-
sired by the occupant of the cradle
and the easy-chair. Its value, as q fer
tilizer has been acknowledged from the
earliest heruicitimes. Since these facts
are generally Acknowledged. it ap-
pears strange that so many farmers are
exceedingly -parsimonious in regard to
the use of salt. Every year we hear of
persons attempting to keep a herd of
cattle or flock OF sheep during the
entire season without allowing them
any salt. Many deal out salt to stock
as grudgmgly as ii twas as costly as
sugar. A large proportion OF farmers
allow their mich cows, and other ami
mails kept nearithe house, to .partake of
sails but once a week. If they have
s. ok in distant pasture, the sailing
time occurs only once or twice a month.
When the animals receive it they eat
more than is beneficial for them. There
is no good reason why stock of all
kinds should not be allowed to crafty
their appetite for salt at any time they
choose. The animals know better than
their owners do when they require it.
Slight ingenuity is needed to place salt
in u situation where it will be protected
from the rain and snow, and where
stock can have access to it at all times.
With rare exceptions animals will eat
little salt every day if they have the
opportunity to do so. The cost of salt, 1
at the ordinary degree of purity, for
all the stock farmer keeps is trifling,
and it should. BE furnished without stint
to animals of all kinds and at all sea-
sons of the Chicago Times.

Summer Salads.

I People who dine at hotels, and even
sometimes at gentlemen tables, sell
dom find a salad that is really excel
lent. Generally speaking. it is black
| green, bitter, and, If it were not for the
liberal appliance of mustard, eggs, oil
and pepper, it would be quite unfit for
any human stomach. How different
this is from what q cool, delicious salad
ought to be. 1t seems practically to be
forgotten by those who grow salad that
lettuce was never intended to be eaten
unless blanched. In Europe they grow
long, broad-leaved kind called the
Roman or Cos lettuce, which, after
having attained considerable develops
ment, has the leaves drawn up and tied
fc<gether re fop.S Thsfnseri@ cope,
tinuing to grow, and of codrse1 IN the
dark by the tying up of the outer
leaves makes a. hard mass Ike an
elongated cabbage, which cots up as
white and crisp and sweet as a. stick of
celery. This kind has never found a
place in American gardens because our
climate induces it to run to seed too
quickly. The various kinds of cabbage
lettuce are preferred because they close
in their leaves naturally, and are sup
posed to blanch themselves. But this
is, as we have shown, a pleasant fiction.
as there is very little OF the white about
any that we see, except where there is
great success in growing them into
heads.
OF course, our country is NJ so we'll

Soil Exhaustfon.'

A soil is said to be exhausted when
it fails to giys,payinasc crops under the
most favorable, circumstances of til
'lsge, weather, etc. This exhaustion is
brought about by tho removal of the
needed by the plants.
through the growth and removal of
plants, without any corresponding adj
dition of these food elements. Thus
asseil ray contain enough phosphoric
acid in an available form for ten full
crops. but after that, ifsnone of this
substance Is added to the soil, the crop
cannot make full return for the labor
expended upon it. A soil may thus be
exhausted or deficient in only one of
the several food elements, and yet it is
not much better, as far as plant growth
is concerned, than if all the elements
were equally lacking. All crops do
not exhaust soils equally-some re-
move more potash than others, and
one requires greater amount of nitro
gen than another. This is very clear
ly shown in the long extended expert
