Of the temperature Of that FIRST used,
and let it stand for three hours. In
that time water will arise to tho sur
face; then thicken with flour until the
batter Is as thick as it was in the COM
mencement. Let it stand three hours
longer when it will again rise, making a
total standing of six hours. Then get
what flour you need for your baking,
scald about one pint of it, and after it is
cool mix the rising together with warm
water and mix to stiffness to knead on
warm board. A great deal of knead-
ing is required. Place the dough in
your baking pan, set aside until it rises
to twice its original size and then bake
in quick oven. If you are successful,
and careful following of these direc-
tions will make you so, you have the
most delicious bread that has ever en-
tered mortal's mouth. If you have a
large baking the ingredients are to be
proportionatelY increased.

A Hint totbeT.ann

The cause of leanness, when there is nc
positive disease which produces it, is an i'm
perfect assimilation of the food. The weight
Of the body undoubtedly bears a marked rela-
ton to, and increases proportionately to ita
height, when it is properly nourished with
f1esh-making blood. Hence, when we see q
cheeks we have right to infer that his blood
is thin and watery and his constitution deli
cate. HosTErTER's STOMACH BITTERs is pecu-
liarly serviceable to thin, delicate people, since
it strengthens the digestive and assimilative
organs, and is consequently a powerful aux-
iliaty in the blood manufacturing processes,
which in a state of health ought to be, and are,
thoroughly performed. An increase of muscle,
as well as fat, is result of using this sovereign
anti-dyspeptic, appetizing and generally cor
rectiYe cordial.

Cnrbolic Acid TOR Insecrr.

The time has almost come again when
''the little busy bugs" will open up their
summer campaign and dispute with the
';lords of creation" for possession of the
''fruits of the earth" Allow me thus
early to call attention to an article, the
merits of which everybody knows, but
which many dare not use-I refer to
carbolic acid. Prepared as indicated it
cannot, think, hurt the most delicate
house plants, and it is sure to kill in
sect life. Ny plan of preparing is as
follows: Iobtain crude carbolic acid I
use it in this form because it is stronger
and betterfor the purpose and costs but
very little about twenty-five cents per
gallon, I think. pour quantity of
this dark crude acid into a quantity of
good strong domestic soft soap stir
well together and allow to stand for a
few hours. 1 then test the compound
by mixing little of it with soft water.
Iftoo much acid has been added, oily par
ticles of carbolic acid will be observed
floating on the surface. This shows
that more acid has been put in than the
soap will incorporate or "cut," and more
soap should be added to balance the ex-
cess of acid. No more definite rule can
be given, as so much depends on the
strength of the soap. Two or three
tablespoonfuls of the acid to quart of
soap may be first tried. prefer to make
as strong with acid as the soap will per-
fectly cut. A very little practice will
enable any one 10 compound it correct
ly. The refined acid may be used when
the crude is not at hand. When pre-
pared as above make moderately strong
suds and apply with syringe or sponge.
In using on very delicate plants, should
any fear be felt for the plants, they can
be rinsed off after few minutes. MY
first and eminently successful use Of this
compound was some years since on q
block of young cherry trees some fifty
thousand in number. The black aphis
"came down like the wolf on the fold -
only ''they came not as single spies, but
in whole battalions." It soon became an
interesting question as to who was the
proprietor OF this particular block OF
trees-myself or the "bug Ethiopian.
A disinterested observer of judicial turn
of mind, Judging from the general ap.
pearance of things and the very sat

have said they had the best case He
would, at least have been compelled to
admit they had "nine points of the law

the like before. The trees were alive

all the dusky guests. However, not

A Wonderful Invention.

A letter to the Scientific AmericGl
from the inventor describes the opera

disk with smooth edge which is caused
to revolve 1890 times a minute. A
steel bar brought rear to, but not touch.

melting apart, and mans hand can be
placed in the stream of molten steel
without being burnt. These are won,
derful facts and await the explanation

The back streets of thi quarter, (chieAy

to the old streets and lanes of the south

is not little strengthened by the un-
savory odors which prevail in this un-

the worst reputation for villainy of any

Does Pleasure Paw

With the above words an English
society journal opens an article on the
current habits of good society in search
of pleasure. It is unnecessary to say
that pleasure, if it can be taken only as
many fashionable people take it, is not
worth the time and money that it costs.
No one enjoys this worlds diversions so
little as those who pay most for their
fun and devote most time to it. At the
theater and opera the people who ap-
pear most pleased are those who sit in
the cheapest seats and wear the poorest
clothes, and elsewhere the rule is the
same. All else being equal, the man
who has the most money to spend can
secure the most enjoyment in this
world: but one thing that thousands of
people seem to forget is that with all
things with pleasing possibilities coma
mon rule of the table holds good-it is
Of no use to eat unless you have an ap-
petite. The most forlorn diner-out in
New York is the man who eats several
dinners daily, and the most unhappy
man at the theater-the man who finds
fault with everything and enjoys moth
ing-is he who goes to the theater every
night. Pleasure is like dessert-very
good to take after something substan-
tlal, but the most unsatisfactory of all
things when taken as a steady diet

THE ORGANIZATION OF TIE

The death OF Senator BURNSIDE settles
the question as to the organization OF
the next Senate. 1t makes 1t entirely
possible for the Democrats to elect the
next President pro tenn. and other Off
GERS Of the Senate.
II true that the vacancy created by
the death OF Burnside will be temper
srily filed at once by the Governor OF
Rhode Island, but the appeintee will
not take his seat until after the Senate
has been organized, and until the COM
mittee report on his credentials and he
is found worthy and well qualified"
The same will be the case with the
two New York Senators, and it Is quite
likely that their case may be still further
complicated on the ground that there
was fraud and irre2ularity in their

Corn-RaislnR.


The corn r OF the United States is
the most important crop raised in the
country. 1t may be called the basis Of
our agriculture, for not only is corn a
bread material and largely used as such
by a great portion Of our population,
hut it is the cheapest food for animals,
and is easily convertible into bacon,
beef, mutton, milk, butter and cheese,
and working muscle for horses and
oxen, Lot to mention its convertibility
into spirits, glucose and other articles OF
consumption. A fair cor crop is about
1900, OO0, 900 bushels, This years crop
is estimated at only l,OO0,OO0,0OO, q de-
dciency of one.third, and it is q proof
Of the immense importance Of this crop
that the deficiency for the present year
mas already affected the prices Of all
other kinds OF grain and the general
cost OF living.
And yet, dependent as we are upon
corn for ~sustensnce and comfort, there
il, perhaps, no crop 10 neglected in its
cultivation. 1t is planted in this lati-
tude all the way from the 10Th of April
to the 18th Of June, in ground rudely
p'owed once and rarely or never fertil-
lied; it may be cultivated two to six
times, but though each cultivation adds
to the strength Of the plants and in
creases the yield, it is often "laid by"
with halfthe number of plowings it is en-.
titled to, and little ~precaution is taken to
protect it against drought
There Is no fact better known in West
ern farming than a corn crop, well put
in at the right time and well cultivated
Aiterward, will yield a half to two-thirds
more than a crus on the same land
raTclessly put in and indiiIerently cul-
waited. Forty bushels TO the acre is
cAll-d q lair crop; il ths season IS favor
able the yield will be sixty bushels on
good soil, and IN rich bottom lands in
southeast and Central Missouri seventy
five bushels msy be had-all this
without iertilizing But experiments
prove that, with liberal
nse OF i~ertiliz ng agents and
thorough cultivation, 100 to $50
bushels OF oIn may be raised on al
acre of ground. 1t will be said that
Western farmers cannot afford the costly
experiments required to produce such
large yields as this Perhaps not; but
when it is reelected that it costs no more
to raise $1,000 bushels on ten acres than
the same number OF bushels on twice as
many acres, it will be admitted thar it is
worth while for every farmer TO do tue
best ne can with the means at his COM
mand. and give his corn every advan-
tage he can get.
1t has been observed that while late
corn was nearly ruined by the drought
of the late summer, early corn will
yield q fair crop-and this may be for

THE RELATION OF PARDNTs TO
9CHOOIIa.

THE RELATION OF PARENTs TO
TIE SCHOOLS.
An article upon the duty OF parents
to visit tie schools has been placed In
our hands With a request to publish.
We very cordially endorse the views
Of the subject therein set forth There
Is no duty to children which parents 80
commonly neglect There ID no such in
difference shown to the welfare OF child
rem as manifested in this direction.
There il not one father or mother in
Aity who r represented in the
schools who have ever seen inside
the school room. They have blindly
committed the mental, moral and phys
ical welfare Of their children to teacher
with whom they have not even had the
formality Of an introduction. Possibly
and even probably their children are
imbibing sentiments which parents
would not tolerate from any other source.
Possibly they are contracting disease
from impure or unisvorable surround
ings. Possibly they are being subject to
cruel treatment by a coarse and brutal
teacher.
All these things, and more, are con-
tinually arising to warn parents OF the
necessity OF personal supervision oil
their children in the schools. No duty
is more imperative and no interest
would seem to be more natural than
that which should lead them to care Tor
their children in this regard.
Beyond these considerations are those
which relate TO the success OF the chill
dren in obtaining an education.
Nothing would tend more to
encourage and stimulate both teach
er and pupil than the frequent pres
ence OF the parent in the school room
A proper appreciation OF these things
would send scores OF parents to the
schools every day in the week.
We commend the article, published
on another page, to the consideration OF
sll parents who are represented IN the
schools.
