The Pension Question.


The Commissioner of Pensions wishes
a bill passed-frst, to facilitate the adjust
ment of claims, and second, to prevent
frauds. The bill now before the Senate
is the one he wants.
The bill provides that there shall be
appointed in each congressional district
an examiner and surgeon; the ex-
aminer to be good lawyer, and the sur
geon eminent in his profession. This
lawyer and doctor form kind of court,
and they travel at stated periods around
the district. giving notice of the times
and places when and where they will ex-
anime the persons and witnesses of PEN
sioners and claimants.
The illustrious lawyer is to receive fifty
cents for each witness examined, and the
eminent surgeon is expected to leave a
large and lucrative practice and examine
pensioners and claimants at little more
per head. What kind of lawyer can be OBJ
tanned for such fees. and what must such
surgeon be? If all the pensioners in a
congressional district have to depend
upon this lawyer and doctor, how long will
claims be honest?

IT is now proposed to get up steam-en-

blast upon the snow and ice in the streets
of cities, and thus rid them at once of the

present while going through the alternate
courses of thaw and freeze in the winter.

The Profits Of Tree Culture.

From the S0n francisco Chronicle.
Eight years ago an emigrant from an east
ern state arrived in ono Of the bay counties
with his family and q capital OF SIS. He
had some knowledge Of horticulture, and
was good practical gardener. A capitalist,
who was the owner of some comparatively
useless land, contracted with this emigrant
for planting and tending forty acres Of this
land in Australian gums or eucalyptus. The
breaking, fencing, planting and labor on
the land cost the owner Ga. 600. At the end
Of the first year he had 81, 600 thrifty trees,
a2d the second year he set out the shaded
ground in pasture, which retained its verdi
ure nearly throughout the entire twelve
months, showing aenser growth FROM
year to year. At the beginning of the third
year he utilized this pasture for dairy COWS,
and found it strong enough to support two
COWS to the acre. he estimated the value for
this use at - per month per acre for eight
months out of twelve, or $32 per year
per AGRA. The total yearly profit from this
source was 81 ,28O.
At the end Of the eighth year he was Offer
ed in cash by the keepers Of a wood yard
thirty cents each for his trees, OF $3.50 per
acre, the purchaser to pay all the cost OF
cutting and removing the timber. The total
value was So, 600, but in the mean time the
owner Of the land had had five years use of
the pasture. which, by his own close esti-
mate, was worth to him $4,000. This
makes the grand total of gross earnings in
eight years SIS, 900. From this must b.
deducted s., 60 paid out for the nursery
plants. fencing and labor. and an expense
Of $500 for water for irrigation during the
first two years. leaving net income of 81 T.
500. or $287 so per acre for the eight years,
or $50 per acre for one year.

Cultivate Your Strawberry Bed.

From the Farmers Journal.
The last pint Of strawberries is picked,
then what? Will you plough down the old
ped or 20 to work for another crop from
the same ground? Some people think it
best to have a bed entirely new for each
years picking. An old and very large
grower Of this fruit starts the harrow after
the crop is gathered and keeps the soil
mellow through June and July. He uses a
fine steel toothed harrow with twelve teeth
between tho rows, the same as in a newly
planted bed. This cuts the ground fine
and does not cover tho plants. No matt,r
if one-fou1tn to one third the vines are
rooted out, and the remainder look sadly
demoralized" in consequence, thew will
soon recover, and the next crop he all the
better for the severe scarifying. Some
growers first NOW off the leaves and use .
plough instead ofa harrow, plouRhinp
furrow from the row, leaving unplouehed
space six to nine inches wide, thinning
out the plants in the row with q baud
plough. afterwards using the harrow be-
tween the rows. A new bed may be started
now, to fruit next year, by spadinp up a
ball OF earth with the plants, and setting
without disturbing the roots. Those who
like the hill system can set tho plants in
rows both ways and use wheelbarrow with
q sheet-ilon wheel, having sharp edged
rim TOR cutting the runners. This will do
the work. The fine toothed harrow en- n be
run both wcys, SO that no hand hoeinp or
back breaking werk is needed. In the
matted row system, the runners NAV ba
kept cut off until early in August, when the
horse cultivation should cease and the nm
ners be allowed to take root.

And make them lank and thin.

From the Detroit Free Press.

klOu tue DotrOlt FREE ffee8.
A Detroiter who had business in village
in Washtenaw county drove out there in a
buggy, and of course went to the inn for
his dinner. The landlord made no inquir-
les until after the meal was eaten and paid
for and he then found opportunity to in
quire,
Were you going CIT to Squire Browns
placer"
"No."
Il didn't know but you were lightning
rod man and I was going to say that the
Squire has threatened to shoot the next
one on sight. We don't go much on them
fellers around hero, and I'm glad you are
somebody else. Maybe you are going over
to Judge Hardy's to sell him some fruit
trees for fall setting.
No."
well, that's lucky. Only yesterday the
judge was remarking to me that the next
fruit-tree agent who entered his gate would
want coffin. Fact is, myself have got
to do some kicking to pay for being swim
dled on grape vines. You are not patent
night man, chi"
no."
"Well, that's narrow escape for you.
We've been swindled here on hay forks,
cultivators, gates, pumps, churns. and a
0oZen Otner things, and IN keeping sixteen
dozen bad eggs for use when the next pat
ent Fighter shows his face in this town.
Perhaps you're lecturer"
"Oh, no."
well, you haven't lost anything. We
never turn out very strong here to a lecture.
The last man who struck us lectured on
Our Currency but didn't take in enough
OF it to pay me for his supper. You are
not book canvasser?"
NO"
'"rhat's another escape. We've been
laid out here so often that if an agent should
offer to sell $50 Bible for SO cents we'd
suspect trick to beat us. Strikes me now
that YOU may be a lawyer?"
NO."
Good huff. Last one who settled here
had to leave town at midnight; and we don't
want any more. Say, what are you, any
way?"
"A politician" replied the Detroiter.
"A politician! Then git! For heavens
sake, don't stand round here if you value
your life! We've just impeached our pound
master for embezzling the public money;
and the excitement is SO intense that the
democrats will ride you on a rail, or the re-
publicans duck you in water trough. Git
right up and scoot!"

HOUSE AND FARM.
A Few Eeteipes.

SP1CED CABBAGE.-Quarter cabbage
head, put it in kettle Of hot water WITH .
little salt, boil until very tender, take ont
carefully and drain, then place closely In
jar. Take two quarts Of vinegar, one tea
spoonful each Of whole cloves and allspice.
a stick OF cinnamon and ono pound OF SUI
gar. boil all together ton minutes: pour
over the cabbage while hot and cover the
jar. In two days it will be at for use.
CARROT SALAD.--Select very tender
fresh carrots and cook them in fast boiling
water till tender; cut into very thin slices,
put them into glass salad bowl and
sprinkle with s,fted loaf sugar; add the
juice Of large fresh lemon, and q wineglsss-
fnl Of olive oil. BY way Of gs-nish, place
round the margin of the dish an onion cut
in exceedingly thin slices, and small bunches
OF any fresh, green salad leaves.
TOSSED PoTAToEs.-Boil some pota-
toes in their skins; peel them and cut into
small pieces. Toss them over the fire in a
mixture Of cream, butter rolled in fluor,
pepper and salt, till they ore hot and well
covered with the sauce.
Line your cretonne spread with turkey
red calico; it will hang in more graceful
folds il lined throughout, and will not dis
turb you by showing the under side Of the
border.
IT you flavor a rhubarb pie with nutmeg.
it will improve it greatly and make it taste
like fresh apple pie.
THE REMOVAL or GREASE Spors.-
Fatty oils have greater surface tension
than oil of turpentine, benzole or other
oils. Hence, if q grease spot on piece of
cloth he moistened on the reversed side
with one of these solv ents, the tension on
the greasy side is larger, and therefor the
mixture or benzole and fat or grease will
tend to move toward the main grease spot.
1t We were to moisten the center of this
spot with benzole, We shoulL not remove it.
but drive tho grease upon the clean portion
Of the cloth. It il, therefore, necessary to
distribute tho benzo]e first over a circle
surrounding the grease spot, to approach
the latter gradually, at the same time hav-
ing blotting paper in cont o. with the spot
to absorb the fat Immediately.
To WASH LAWNS AND G1NGHAMs.-
Examine the articles carefully; dampen the
soiled places and rub them lightly with
Frank Siddall's soap; roll the pieces ard
put IN the tub with warm water; let them
soak from fifteen to twenty minutes, il
much soiled. if not wash at once, thorough
~, in the one water; rinse earthly, getting
out a'l the suds; pass through the blue wa
ter and starch and hang out.
LUNCH RoLLs.-To one quart of -four
take one teaspoonful of lard. one cup Of
milk, one teaspoonful of salt. four even
teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
Roll the lard into tho -four, in which the
paking powder has been sifted, together
with the salt: then add the milk and mix
lightly. Roll out and cut with large
round mould turning one-half over on the
other. Glaze with milk and bake in med
ium'y hot oven for twenty minutes Or half
an hour.
