A Vivid Improvement on Waiting.
Cincinnati Enquirer

OlnCluHAtl Enquirer.
1t is said that the first time Sitting
Bull attended a white mans party
he made a break for the door the
moment a waltz was struck up. He
afterwards explained that he sup
posed an alarm Of fire had been
given and that each brave was try
ing to carry out squaw. This re-
minds us of the King Of the Dude,
who, after a visit to England, in
vented what .he fiattered himself
was a vivid Improvement on the
waltz of the period. Instead Of the
interested parties shuffiing their
feet around in the present melan-
choly fashion he had the couple
mounted on hardware trucks and
dragged around in eccentric circles
by attendants. He said that as now
practiced by Europeans the amuse-
ment was neither good dancing mol
good hugging, and for his part he
preferred to put in his full time al
the latter amusement.

Farm and Home.
Cctton-Seed Meal.

C. Ballach, in a paper read before
the farmers club of New York on
cotton-seed meal, and feed in general,
said:
"The yield of cotton for the
present year is estimated at 2,771-
1877, 156. pounds. TO every pound
of cotton produced there are one
and half pounds Of seed, conse-
quently we have 4,157,695,734
pounds of seed. Deduct from this
ten per cent. for planting the ensu
ing crop and waste seed, we still
have 3,741, 926, 16I pounds { 1,S70,963
tons), for the production Of oil,
soap-stock, cake and meal. A ton
of seed will yield $40 pounds of cake
or meal; consequently, if the entire
product were manufactured, we
would have not less than $4,000
tons with which to feed our mich
COWS, beef cattle, sheep and swine,
and for fertilizing purposes. 1t IS
estimated that the entire products
Of the mills for the past season
amounted to $4,000 tons. In con-
sequence of the larger increase in
the number of mills recently con
structed, it may be safely estimated
that the yield for the coming season
will amount to 100000 tons.
The seed after being separated
from the cotton is decOrticated; it
is then put into sacks and steamed
to a temperature Of 80 degrees.
After steaming, the sacks are placed
in a press and the oil extracted at
the rate of about thirty six gallons
to the ton of seed. We have now
the cake, which, after being dried,
is either shipped in that form to
Europe, or is ground into meal to
be used in this country as fodder
and for fertilizing the soil. A large
portion of the meal is used in the
south as a fertilizer of cotton, corn
potatoes, and other crops. Tobacco
growers in Massachusetts and Con
necticut have also used it with salts
factory results.
The digestible nutriment of cot
ton seed meal is stated as the mos
valuable, inasmuch as it contains
1872 of albuminoid, 17.6 of carbohy
drates, and 1913 of fat. Malt sprouts
furnish as above POS, 43.7 and 0.9

Four Cardin al Points.

There are four cardinal points to
which we would direct the attention
of farmers in the south.
Deep cultivation and thorough
draining.
The manufacture and increase OF
manure on the farm.
The stall feeding of cattle.
The improvement of live stock.
There Is an intimate connection
between these four points, and, if
they are properly observed, the
farm can be made more productive
and valuable each year. Instead OF
drains upon the purse of the farmer,
the farm viii be a bank upon which
he can draw every year for increas
ing dividends.

Things Worth Knowing.

A poultice of fresh tea leaves
moistened with water, will cure ;
stye on the eyelid.
For earache, dissolve assaf9tida III
water; warm a few drops and drOI
in the ear, then cork the ear will
wool.
The true physiological way o
treating burns and scalds is to a
once exclude the air, with cottor
batting, flour, scraped potato or any
thing that is handiest.
Use fresh water. Water which
has stood in an open dish over night
should not be used for cooking OF
drinking, as it will have absorbed
many foul gases.
Mix a little carbonate of soda
with the water in which flowers are
immersed, and it will preserve them
for fortnight. Common saltpetre
is also a very good preserYatiYe.
Take a new flower pot, wash it
clean, wrap it in a wet cloth, and set
over butter, it will keep it as hard
as if on ice. Milk, if put into an
earthen can, or even a tin one, will
keep sweet for a long time, if well
wrapped in a wet cloth.
Common soda is excellent for
securing tin, as it will not scratch
the tin, and will make it look like
new. Apply with a piece of moist
newspaper and polish with a dry
piece. Wood ashes are good sub
stitute.
To cure bunions use pulverized
saltpetre and sweet oil. Obtain at
a druggists five or six cents worth
of saltpetre; put it into bottle with
sufficient olive oil to dissolve it,
shake up well, and rub the inflamed
joints night and morning, and more
frequently if painful.
Flies may be effectually disposed
of without the use of poison. Take
half a teaspoonful of black pepper in
powder and one teaspoonful of
cream. Mix them well together,
and place them in a room on plate
where the flies are troublesome, and
they will soon disappear.
Red ants may be banished from a
pantry or storeroom by strewing
the shelves with a small quantity of
cloves, either whole or ground
Some use the former, as not being
so likely to get into food placed
upon the shelves. The cloves should
be renewed occasionally, as after
time they lose their strength and
The following drink for relieving
sickness of the stomach is said to
be very palatable and agreeable:
Beat up one egg very well, say for
twenty minutes! then add fresh milk
one pint, water one pint, sugar TO
make it palatable; boil, and let it
cool; drink when cool. If 1t be-
comes curds and whey it is useless.

"What good deed have you done
to-day, Johnny" said a benevolent
father to his heir. 81 gave a poor
little boy a cent, papa" was the
good child's answer. "Ah, that was
right; and why, my son, did you
give him the CENT? 81 gave it him,
dear father, for a good Scent stamp
that he thought was only piece OF
green paper" "Let us prey" said
the father, and he got a strap and
preyed on that boy for fifteen min

are not fitted for that occupation.

uselessly. The man of practical
energy, and one who does with all
