WONDERFUL DISCOVERIES IN SAHARA
A discovery of much archaeological in
terest has recently been made in the Al
gerian Sahara. NJ larry, who has been
carrying on work in connection with the
proposed Trans-Sahara Railway, having
noticed mound of sand in the neighbor-
hood Of Wargia, had the sand dug up,
and discovered the top of spherical
dome. This naturally aroused his inter-
est, and getting his Arabs to dig still
deeper, he found underneath the dome a
square tower, then a platform of masonry,
and finally complete mosque. Continu-
ing the excavations, M larry soon I'M
earthed seven houses in perfect preserya-
ton, and came upon subteTanean water
course. At the last news nine houses
had bean disinterred, and M larry was
still adding additional assistance to
clear out the precious watercourse, which
he describes as sufficient to irrgate a
small forest of palms. 1t is well known
that the Sahara was at one time much
more ropulous than it is now and It's trade
much more extensive, but no one seems
TO have supposed that cities had been
buried under so recently as since the in
Ftroduction of Mohammedanisms--N. Y.

The CORRECT THING Many batch of
cream has been churned upon for hours
with no apparent effect, because ii was
not properly tempered, although the
thermometer recorded Coz Half the
world cannot understand, and the other
half will not, that the thermometer may
indicate CO. in batch of cream, and not
a single globule of the butter fat be heated
above 450 or 500. Most butter makers,
when they are about to churn, heat up
their cream to the traditional standard and
put it into the churn, suppOsing that they
have done just right, whereas the correct
thing is to heat the cream to co. and hold
it there several hours before churning.

CANNING IN MARYLAND.-The canning
business in Hartford county seems to be
profitable. Mr.. Edward Mitchell, on
Spesutia Island, in 1879, raised $500
on ten acres of land, which he sold at 20
cents per bushel. Last year the same
gentleman, on the same amount of land,
raised 5000 bushels of tomatoes, which
he sold at % cents per bushel John
Payne, Gamer on Plum Point, planted
between 60 and 20 acres in tomatoes,
which yielded about 800 bushels to the
acre. William HI. Taylor, on Union
Farm, planted one-fourth of an acre in
tomatoes last year, and sold 237 bushels
at 35 cents per bushel. He planted the
Paragon. J. 6 l.. Mitchell, Gamers.
raised $500 bushels on acres of land.
William Baker, who is canning on what
is known as the Cranberry Farm, had
about ESQ acres in sweet corn, which
yielded l08 cases to the acre each case
contained "a cans of two pounds. The
general average is ten barrels of sweet
corn to the acre, for which the farmers
receive four dollars per barrel, delivered
at the canning house. It is estimated
that George w. Baker & Sons, Gamers
near Aberdeen station on the p, w. &
B.. r. r., last year, had about 1000
acres in sweet corn for their own use
They have ordered one million of empty
cans for this season. 1t is estimated that
there are seyepty-three canning houses il

SMALL FARMS -Well-worked small
farms, as rule, are proportionately more
profitable than those of extensive dimen-
siOns. The products of the 39-acre farm
of Milton, Chester county, Pa, is an
evidence of what can be accomplished on
a limited area. Last year he raised 400
bushels of corn, 200 bushels of oats, and
$50 bushels of wheat, each of these
grains having five acres allotted to it.
He made 1914 pounds of butter, tattened
1928 pounds of pork, and sold poultry
and eggs to the value of $40. He also
raised 30 bushels of white potatoes,
bushels of sweet-potatoes, and about 325
bushels of apples.

Early Chickens.

Owing to the unusually long and cold
winter hens did not attend to business
very closely, and the broods will be later
than usual this spring. There will be
some March chickens, but not as many as
usual, though there will be plenty in APP
ril. 1t will be best to set the hens as soon
as they become broody, and get out as
many early chicks as possible, and try to
catch up after the lost time during the
long cold spell.
April is a trying month on the North
Atlantic slope for young chickens on ac-
count of the cold drenching rains, which
are worse on the young things than pretty
cold weather, provided it is dry We
have recommended to our readers in pre-
vious springs to have some sort of a shed
in which to set the coops for the young
broods so as to keep them dry This
will be found decided advantage if one
wishes to raise early broods, whether he
live on the Atlantic slope or in the great
Mississippi valley; wherever there is a
market for early spring chickens it will bt
found profitable to raise them. 1t will be

as well as for market poultry Fresl
eggs are always legal tender at the
country and village stores for groceries
and dry goods, at least they are accepted
as such, and millions of them are thus ex
changed every year. To have laying
pullets in the fall they must be Matched il
March and April. They then begin tC
lay in October and November, and by
the holidays will have laid enough egg
to pay for raising them and keeping then
! all winter.
May and June chickens, unless of th'
smaller laying breeds as Leghorns, Polish
Hamburgs and such like, do not begin t.
lay until after the holidays, and are mucl
less profitable than the earlier hatcheC
ones, though they are easier to raise il
the warm dry weather of May and June
Whatever you want Of your chickens
whether broilers or early layers, hatch a

Paragraphs of all Sorts.

The lustre of morocco leather is re-
stored by vanishing with the white of an
egg.
An Indiana farmer recently lost eleven
horses and mules from eating corn-stalks,
which being cut up formed indigestible
balls in their stomachs, producing death
in q short time.
A farmer who works with poor tools
when he can afford to have good ones,
adds very much to his own labor without
accomplishing as much, or doing his work
as well, as if he were supplied with the
best implements the market affords.
Mr. William Crozier, of Northport, N.
Y, predicts that if farmers feed ensilage
to their cattle, pluro- pneumonia whispered
far and wide. Such food, he insists, will
eventually injure the consultation and
weaken the lungs of the cattle.

Bake in quick oven.
The Devon cattle, it is said, lose their
fine quality and breed characteristics when
fed on rank, coarse grass And the same
is true of other fine breeds. A stock
breeder, therefore, should be careful to
determine the kind of animal that will
thrive naturally on the soil, and under the
climate in which he is farming.
Mr.. Frank B. Redfeld, writing to the
National Lire-StocE Journal of the Polled
Angus cattle, says that one of the most
valuable features of these fine animals is
! the absence of horns-a characteristic
soon to be greatly appreciated in these
days of rapid travel and improvement, on
account of convenience and safety to both
man and beast.
The keeping quality and taste of butter
depend largely on the quality of the salt
used in making it. Salt that contains
lime and magnesia, the two principal i'm
purities, is unfit to use But as the diff
ference in price between the best salt and
inferior grades is slight, while that be-
tween good and bad butter is very large,
it pays to get the best always for dairy
purposes.
The secret of cooking pig's-fset, ac-
cording to Mr.. p. 4. Barnum, the Cereal
Snowman" is to wrap each pigs foot in {
cotton bandage wound two or three times
around it, and well corded with Irvine
Then boil them four hours Let them re
main in the bandages till needed to fry
broil, or pickle. The skin will hold it to
gether while being cooked, and wher
eaten they will be found as tender anC
delicate as possible.

SUGAR BEErs FOR HoGs-I selected

HORSES PAVING HOLES A safe, effec-
tual and economical way of preventing
horses from paving holes in the front
part of their stalls, is to drive sticks Of
fire wood about fifteen or eighteen inches
long, down to a level with the surface of
the ground and as close together as they
can be driven. A good plan is to first
pour plenty of water on to soften the
ground Use white oak wood, and they
will need no further attention for long
time. Quite a number of barns have
been set on fire by the horses steel toed
shoes coming in contact with stones that
have been put in the holes to keep the
horses from paving them deeper. This
work can be done on a rainy day, without
expense, and when horses find out they
cannot dig they will give it up and stand
quletl y.-Fdrm Journal
