HOME AND FARM.

Farmers in the Southern States arc
devoting more time and money to the
draining of land than at any time before
in their history.
Somebody has discovered that
small, round eggs contain female chick
ems in embryo and that long, slender
eggs contain the roosters. There Is no
patent on the discovery.-Gicago
Herald.
The tender, luscious mutton Of the
English is not attributable to their cool
er climate alone, but to the turnip, and,
we may ada, other succulent roots on
which the sheep are led and fattened for
the butcher.-Detrot Post.
The Minneapolis Tribune says that
goats are the best land cleaners known.
It mentions that a herd of 1000 entirely
cleaned piece Of brush land, consisting
# 500 acres, in three years. So COM
pleie was the work that not vestige of
underground was left.
-Ten-minute cake: One-fourth Of q
pound of butter, little less than o
oound of -four, the same Of sugar, six
'ggs beaten separately; flavor with
mace or other aavoring to taste, and
oake in muffin rings.-Baptist Weekly.
Potato balls are very nice for break
fast. Boil them, and while still warm
mash them until there are no Jumps
left; then mix butter, pepper, salt,
little chopped parsley, and one or more
raw eggs; beat these together thor
oughly, then mold in balls, dip in beat
en- eggs and then in -four, and fry in
butter.-N. Y. Post.
To make cologne water: Take
int of alcohol and put in thirty drops
Of oil Of lemon, thirty Of bergamot and
half a gill of water. If musk or lavender
is desired, add the same quantity Of
each. The oils should be put in the
alcohol and shaken we'll before the water
is added. Bottle it for use.-St. Louis
Giobe.
Cake or Fruit Sandwiches: Cake
of fruit sandwiches are made thus: Four
ggs, their weight in flour, sugar and
butter, warm the butter and beat it to q
cream, then stir the -four and sugar
into it gradually, beat up the eggs and
stir them in. Beat the cake well for
half an hour and bake in rather quick
oven. Ii for sandwiches slice the cake
in half and put the preserves between.
-EGchange.
Fried Herbs: Clean and dry good
quantity of spinach leaves, two large
| handfuls of parsley, and handful Of
green onions, and sprinkle them among
the spinach. Set them all on to stew,
with some salt and bit Of butter, the
size of a walnut; shake the pan when 1t
begins to grow warm, and let 1t be
closely covered over close stove till
done enough. h.-Household.
Very careful experiments made in
New York this season show that the flat
culture of potatoes produces the finest
tubers and the largest yields. The best
results followed the Dutch method Of
planting, which consists Of keeping the
surface Of the ground level, planting a
single eye in a place, covering it six
inches deep, and allowing but a single
stalk to grow in hill, which are foot
apart each way.

How Texas Cattle Are Utilized.

There are beef-packing establishments
at Rockport and Fulton, Texas, both of
which places are in the center Of cattle
ranges. in which at least 100,0 900 beeves
are slaughtered every year. Every part
of the beef is utilized, even to the tufts
of the tails, which are preserved and
sold for the making of ladies' frlzzettes.
The blood flows into tanksand is pressed,
and is sold at 2 cents q pound for the
making of fertilizers. The tongues and
lean beef are boiled and canned. The
hides are salted and sold again. The
fatty matter is extracted and goes to tai
low. The bones are boiled to pulp t.
extract this fatty matter, and the dry
bones, mainly phosphate Of lime, are
sold at / cent a pound for fertilizing.
The feet are cut off, and from the hoois
neats-foot oil is extracted. The horny
part of the foot, the shin-bone and
knuckle-bones, are sold for the manu-
facture of domestic ivory. The horns
are piled up until the pith becomes
loose. and this is added to the fertilizers,
and the horns are sold for manufacture.
Every atom Of the animal is probably
used.

spoken woman Of forty-fve as she stood
before the officials of the police station.
When they inquired the particulars she

"Observe the envelope. That letter

When the Captain had finished the
letter, she was ready with another, add

NAnd this is addressed to my daugh-

her his rosy angel, and he says he can't

"This is directed to my daughter

"That's Just it. Tina widow with two
