Perhaps it is not generally known
that tallow from beeves fed on corn or

grass-fcd cattle should always be hard

many hours. being seimmed at inter-
walls. Try the suet from time to time
with fork, and when it is thoroughly
done take it ont and put in the cold.
When the beef is done let that also get
cold. The suet which accumulatcs at
the top of the kettle when the broth
cools should also be added to the mincc.
Chop the meat and suet together very
finely. Put the cider on the range IN
convenient kettle, AID stew the apples
in that. Then mix all together, the
meat, suet and apples, adding the mo-
lasses, sugar, raisins Chopped finc) cur

not be found in market they may be
ommitted, though they add TO the deli

Then squeeze out the juice of the lem
ons and oranges into bowl and add to
it all the spices, dissolving them SO that
they will mix thoroughly with the
mince. BE sure to have plenty of salt.
Mix all the ingredients well together,
and the last thing add the brandy.
Ii is useless for an ignorant person
who has not delicate taste to attempt
to make good mince-meat, for the great
secret Of its perfection is IN tasting it
from time to time, and by adding one
thing or another. working it up TO the
point of deliciOusness. II, when it is
supposed to be finished, the clever
hOuskeeper finds II has slightly flat

juice or cider vinegar to make It per-

in which the meat aud suet have beer
cooked. Keep the mince in a covered

There are two kinds Of farm lands 10
this part Of Kansas. They efe the
bottom lands, or the Alluvial deposits
from the uplands, carried to the low
lands by the action Of the rains ana
winds.
The uplands are all the remaining
surface Of the country, consisting OF
slopes, hills, ridges and the plateans on
top of high lands.
The bottom lands with good cultiva-
ton produce heavy crops Of wheat,
corn, etc. The uplands vary from
good depth of soil ON the slopes to
thin deposit On the upper slopes, the
crcsts Of hills and ridges, and the edges
Of the plateaus. There are small areas OF
alkali lands, familiariy knownas gnmbo
and hardpan spots where . grave!ly
hardpan or shell rock, lies near the
surface and interfercs with with the
cultivation.
The bottom lands are extreemly rich
and productive and to keep down the
weeds il the principal difficulty. On
the uplands weeds are comparatively
few. and give but little trouble. I'm
der the upland soil lies subsoil that Is
EXTREMITY rich in chemicals that enter
largely into vegetable growths: ana es.
pecially SO in relation to fruit, small
fruit plants and timber trees.
The lack Of thorough cultivation IS
the great drawback to farming and
fruit culture here, as is usual in new
states.
The uplands in this part of Kansas,
twenty five years ago, produced very
little but bunch or buffalo grass. AT
that time, and probably centuries before
occasional thunder showers and lit
| tie snow in winter was all the moirture
this country received. The rain fall
was not one-fifth enough for farming
! purposes, and the bulk Of the rain that
did fall found its way between the
punches of buffalo grass, on to the
bottoms and into the streams, carry
ing with it the richest portions Ut the
soil.
| As settlement has progressed west
from the Missouri river, the rain fail
has increased. Cultivation and pastur-
ing the country have produced won
derful Improvement, and the Great
American Desert Of the past, is rapidly
becoming one Of the finest farming and
fruit countries in the world. For stock
raising i, has long held the pre-emin-
ence, and as blue and other grasses are
introduced, and rye for winter pastur-
ing cultivated, this region will be the
paradise for stock raising.
Deep and thorough cultivation has

by pursuing the same course that has

SIT FOR SET.

Many of the Agricultural Journals
are sorely troubled to know whether a
hen sits or sets. II some editor of dig
nifty would set hen on her nest, and
the editors would let her sit il would be
very well for the world. Now man
or woman either can set hen although
they cannot sit her; neither can they
set on her, although the old hen might
sit on them by the hour if they would
allow. A man cannot set on wash
bench but he could set the basin on it
aud neither the basin nor the grammar
ians would object. lie could sit on a
dogs tail if the dog were willing, or he
might set his foot on it. But if he
should set on the aforesaid tail or sit Lis
foot there, the grammarians as well as
the dog would howl. And yet strange
rs il may seem, the man might set the
tail aside and then sit down and neither

MORE BREEDS OF CATTLE.

Referring TO the success of the Here
fords at the late Fat-stock Show, held
at Chicago, the "Nationalist' of this
week says: ''The latter breed is fast
coming in favor and some of our own
breeders would do well 10 make spec
iality Of them. Our stockmen have de-
voted themselves to exclusively to
Short-horns." We are not quite sure
that the writer means in the above quo
tation. lie evident means one or two
things: Either that "our own breeders
shall'' abandon the particular breed
which they now cultivate and make a
Speciality" of Hercfords ''they have
devoted themselves too exclusive to
ShorthOrns,' or that they shall in fu-
ture cultivate mixed herds of Short
horns and lIerefords. But whichever
idea is intended we care not: either
plan is bad policy, and all the facts are
against il.
In the first place the man who aban-
dons Short horns for licrefords or
Herefords for Shorthorns, practically
commences breeding afresh and en-
counters all the difficulties that beset
the new beginner. He knows next to
nothing of the habits history aud prop
or management of the new breed, and
all his study and experience with the
old counts him little or nothing at all.
OF course great prospective advantages
may warrant the cncountering Of these
difficulties: but in changing from
Shcrt horns TO IIercfords, are any such
oyerpowering advantages to be ex-
pccted.
But this is not all. The introducer of
the new breed. after his herd has been
fairly established will encounter diff cul-
ties of another kind from the start he
will have few interests in common with
the neighboring breeders Of Short
horns. in fact he will live among re-
lentlcss cnemys who will loose NO OPP
pertuniiy to deridc and belittle his
work ; he can make no exchange in the
use of sircs and will have none of the
benefits of the gratuitous advertising
which number of herds of one breed
ed always secures. II is for these reas
ons chiefly that the breeders of GER
tain class Of stock like manufactures of
particular articles of goods find il to
their advantage TO locate as near each
other as possible. Its thus that that

grown up: and in like manner we have

The following are rules for SINH

The following are rules for similar
work:
For cattle girteing from five to seven
feet, allow twcnty-thrce pounds to the
superficial foot.
Cattle from seven to nine feet girth,
allow thirty one pounds.
For small cattle and calves, from three
TO five feet girth, allow sixteen pounds
10 the superficial foot.
For pigs, sheep and cattle of less than
three feet girih, allow eleven pounds to
the foot.
The general rule is as follows:
Suppose, foe example, you had a steer,
the girth Of which was six feet four in
ches, and length five feet three inches.
You want to compute the weight of
beef you can get out Of him. You
have:
Girth, &c inches, multiplied by s. in

144, equal IS IA sQuar or superficial

This rule will work with as much &C

tice with it will soon enable You to
work it rapidly, and by and by quite
skillfully, il you have an eye for stock.
