Preparing Horseradish.

A grower of horseradish for the mar
ket gives the following directions for
preparing if for sale: The roots. which
are grown from .'sets" started early
in the spring. come to maturity and are
dug in the month of November to be
stored for winter use. At the time of
digging the main root is freed from all
smaller ones, and the small roots are
covered for :" sets again in the spring.
The largest roots are what may be
called "spragly." Everything intended
for grinding is covered in sand in a
basement cellar to prevent willing, and
is dug out in quantities as wanted 1t is
first washed. then scraped and pared
clean, and the crowns cut Off These
are thrown away, as they are of no value
Tor producing new plants. The grind
ing or grating is done on a perforated
tin cylinder that turns in close wooden
box which stands about breast high.
The motion is produced by the foot in
the same way that a lathe or grindstoRe
is turned. As the ground root soon
loses its white color in the air, a small
quantity only can be ground at time.
This is mixed with vinegar and put at
once into bottles and corked tightly.
The bottles are afterward sealed by
dipping the cork in prepared wax.
The labelling completes the work. 1t is
only prepared as fast as sold Keeping
the radish in dark. cool place will
not keep the pure root from losing its
strong taste: and bottle of the pre-
pared root left to stand open must be
freshly ground to be good The un-
ground roots retain their full strength
as long as they remain perfectly covered
from the air with sand. Freezing does
not hurt them.

Raise q Few Grapes.

There is no objection to raising many
grapes on farm. and most farmers
would find it profitable to do so. But
land of any size, from that of village
garden to farm embracing a section.
should raise grapes enough for the
supply of himself and family No fruit
is so easily and cheaply raised as grapes.
We have varieties so hardy that the vines
will stand as much exposure as apple
trees and be more likely to bear. Well
rooted Concord grapes can be obtained
in many places for a dime each or 81
per dozen. They will produce several
clusters to the vine the second wear after
they are planted out. No costly trellis
is necessary to support them. They can
be twined to stakes. fences, posts, or the
sides of buildings. They may be made
to cover arbors and serve the purposes
of ornamentation. With few vines to
start with it is very easy to multiply
them by cuttings. A grapevine once
established and well taken care of will
continue to produce fruit for twenty
years. Grapes rank among the most
excellent food. They are the cheapest
luxuries that can be enjoyed on farms.
During the time they are ripe they
should be so abundant that every one can
have supply. They are the best when
eaten as they are picked from the vine,
but they make excellent pies and sauce
They are the stperiors of most fruits for
canning purposes. 1t is often easier
and cheaper to make wine than cider,
as no crusher or expensive press is re-
quired. The wine can be converted in
to vinegar if desired. No fruit except
currants make as good jelly as grapes.
But for all this and for all that many
persons continue to deny themselves
grapes. which are as easily produced rs
as corn and potatoes.-Ch Chicago Times.

A French Spectators Rnin.

This gentleman was leading a quiet.
easy, lazy life, with his palernal fortune
Of abou. 600. 900 francs placed in five-per
cent. stocks. The Union was founded;
&c saw in the Board of Directors some
of the best names of franee-names
which had hitherto been spotiess. He
took 5000 shares, on which he paid one
fourth, which was called This absorbed
515. OoO-that is to say, his whole
fortune. The shares rose, rose, first
gradually, then feverishly. under the
excitement of wild speculation. The
Jews sold; the Union bought its own
shares: the shares rose to 5000 francs.
My gentleman was then able to realize
l5.0O0.OO0 of francs. All his friends
urged him to do so. No: the shares
would rise higher; he had faith in the
enterprise and its leaders. They rose
to $500 francs, when suddenly the
panic came: the Union had bought so
many of its own shares that all
its resources We're gone. Its enemies
were advised of it; they sold and
sold and literally threw out VI the
window, shares which the Union could
no longer buy. In a single day the
shares fell by the thousand francs. The
unfortunate millionaire saw his millions
dwindle under him. and in the course Of
week he was ruined. He never sold;
the crisis was so sudden that he had no
time for reflection, and his stupid faith
only vanished when everything had
vanished. And what is his position
now? The syndics of the failure will be
obliged to realize the assets. and To
make call for the three-fourths of the
shares still unpaid and still subject to
call. They will demand from him alone

Grating by Farmers.

The period for grating is from the
time the sap begins to start until the
leaves commence to appear. The very
best time and the one usually selected
being just before the foliage opens.
Grating is simply uniting shoot or
scion, upon n stock. in such manner
that the inner bark shall meet, thus in
surfing union. the idea being that thus
we get superior fruit or one identical
with that of the tree from which the
scion was taken. and this upon a stock of
inferior kind.
All the tools necessary are, a firm
backed or panel saw, a sharp jack-knife
for whiting the scions. strong butch

stock. and IA narrow. thin wedge TO hold

very simple. The land is prepared in
the usual manner and the rows marked
off: the sets are dropped along the rows
and very slightly or not at all covered

then covered with eight or ten inches
thickness of old straw. Nothing more
is required until digging time. unless
some strong weeds should make their

The Phipps Extradition.

The case Of Phipps. the Philadelphia
embezzler. before the Canadian courts
presents some interesting international
questions Phipps, who was superin-
tendent Of the Philadelphia alms-house.
is accused OF having robbed the city OF
1850. 600. His peculations extended
over a period of rine years, and IT Is
said he divided the fruits Of them with
four members of the board OF guardians
of the institution according 10 a nefari-
Gus compact entered into at the time be
was chosen superintendent. The agree
mcnt was that the four guardians should
make Phipps superintendent, and he in
turn should divide with them $50, 900 a
year, a compact which he carried out
with scrupulous fidelity. When his
robberies were detected he fled 10
Canada. The United States Govern
ment demands his surrender under the
Asbburton treaty. This treaty provides
for the surrender OF persons charged
with various crimes: not including
larceny and embezzlement the very
offenseS that Phpps was conspicuously
guilty of Forgery Is one of the crimes
mentioned in the treaty, and the lhila-
delpha authorities have made out
show OF a ease against him on This
charge. on the ground that ne issued
fraudulent receipts for warrants. The
court "a Hamilton, Canada. holds that
the forgery charge is sufficiently made
out To warrant the eNtradition OF the
prisoner But the prisoners counsel
has taken the case before the Court OF
Appeals at Toronto. and If defeated
there will take il TO the supreme Court
At Ottawa.
If Phpps shall be surrendered ii can
be for trial ON the charge of forgery
only, the least OF his olienses. But the
Philadelphia authorities will regard it
as "a great hardship that man who has
robbed their city of $3.50 600 through
nine wears of official life. through Il
scr.es df crimes that ought TO send him

his days. should be exempt from trial
for the worst of these crimes, and be
tried only for one and that the least of
them Besides. il is not clear that he
can lie convicted of forgery, as the case
is a weak one, If, therefore. the Ca
madam court shall make it condition
of his surrender that he be exempt
from trial ON the charge. of larceny and
embczzlement, the proofs OF which are
overwhelming. and he required To an
