HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Hiram Sibley, one of the wealthiest
men IN Rochester, N. T., is proprietor
OF 10000 acre farm in Illinois, which
Is said to be the largest cultivated farm
IN the world: 5000 acres of it were last
Year devoted to seed-raising.
"A gentleman who recently rode
through ex-senator Dorsey's cattle
ranch in New Mexico says of it: "It is
4o by 90 miles in size, and has on it
28,000 head of cattle and / 300 head of
horses The income from this place can
not be less than $4,000 for the present
season.

-Qgster Salad: Drain quart of
oysters from their liquid and cut them
into four pieces. Cut one or two heads
of branched celery into small pieces
DO not chop either celery or oysters, but
use sharp knife. When prepared. set
them in separate dishes in a cool place,
and just before serving mix them care
fully. together, and place them in the
dish In which they are to remain.
1t is said that the green fly and
"Trip can easily be destroyed by syring-
ing the vines with the following mix
ture: one gill kerosene, two pounds
whale-oil soap, one pound tobacco soap,
eighty gallons water. Also, against the
red spider and mealy bug this is better
remedy than sulphur fumes. For de-
stroying aphis and thrip, fumigations of
tobacco stems will be found very
effectual.
Yankee Indian Pudding: Seald one
quart Of skinned milk, and stir into 1t
while boiling one cupful of cornmeai
yellow is best). add half cupful of
molasses, or cupful of brown sugar, or
half of each; one teaspoonful of salt and
little spoonful of ginger; put it into
pudding dish well buttered, and potr
carefully on top one pint of cold MILL,
and bake in a moderate oven three
hours. A cup half full of suet finely
chopped is added by those who like it
rich.
Very savory beef tea, suitable for
convalescent, may he made in the fol-
lowing manner: Take two ounces of
butter; put it in frying-pan or spider
over clear fire; when it is melted throw
in two small onions shredded finely;
stir them until they are a nice brown
Have ready one pound of lean beef cut
into pieces the size Of dice; put it in tie
pan, and let it brown also. Turn the
contents of the spider into a saucepan;
add one quart of cold water, and let it
simmer until reduced to pint. Strain
it before using.
To get hens to lay in winter, they
must be kept warm, and fed on suitable
food. Corn, though an. excellent food
for fowls in other respects. does not

much better,for this purpose, while also
heating in its effects. A~warm mess of
wheat middlings, potatoes and scraps
of meat for breakfast, buckwheat or oats
for dinner, and wheat or corn for sup
per, is good winter fare for hens, /
though with these they should have on
ions, cabbage, or green food that can
be obtained, and plenty Of egg-shel
matter.

-Messrs. Henry Bessemer g. Co., the
owners of the most important steel
works in Sheffield, Eng, have intro
duced the Brush system Of electric light
ing as substitute for gas in the several
departments of their establishment. A
sixteen-light machine has been found
sufficient for the purpose, and the lamps,
of 2,000-candle power each, have been
thus distributed: Four lights over the
turning and fitting shops, which cover
an area of nearly 1900 square feet;
three in the forge, which has an area of
1880 square feet; one in tire mill, one
in each of the converter-rooms, one in
the pattern shop, and the four remain
ing lights at such places over the yard
where they make such an illumination
that the workmen can pursue their labor
without difficulty.

Meat Freezing Works in Queensland.

The works of the frozen meat COM
pany at Queensport are now complete,
and have been tested, it is said, with
thoroughly satisfactory results. By
means of the cold-air machine the air is
first compressed and then passes into a
receiver, from which it is conveyed as
required into an expansion cylinder, and
thence to the freezing room. When it
enters the receiver or reservoir it is OF
the natural temperature of about 80
degrees, and is then cooled to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit by means of the cold which
comes back from the freezing rooms.
In this state it goes into the expansion
cylinders, and is further cooled to 30
degrees below zero by sudden expan-
sion, this being the temperature at
which it reaches the freezing rooms.
The meat, before being placed in the
freezing room, is hung in the chilling
chamber for twenty-four hours, and
similar period spent in the freezing room
is sufficient to complete the process.
The meat remains in the freezing cham
Der until taken on board the company's
vessels, which are fitted with thu. neces-
sary appliances. The company has just
completed the freezing of 800 sheep,
and a number of bullocks have been
offered for sale in the Brisbane market.
Arrangements are in progress for the
fitting out of steamers with the proper
apparatus for transporting the frozen
:ileat to England.-Londo,a Times.

"A new form of window is being in
troduced in London, England, for pre-
venting accidents in cleaning, and Sc
curing good ventilation. The two side
bars of each of a pair of ordinary sash,
frames are divided into two parts ver-
tically, and the part carrying the glass
is swiveled or pivoted in the side pieces
at point central to its height. The
frame with the glass is held in position
by two small bolts in the top rail, which
shoot into the side strips. When this
latter fastening is effected the two
sashes may slide up and down in the
ordinary way. 1t will be seen that to
clean this kind of a window there is no
necessity for servants to 60 outside.
Mr.. S. B. Evans is satisfied that the
same race built the prehistoric mounds
found in Mexico and the United States.
He bases his belief on the alleged facts
of close resemblance between the con
struction of these remains, of the SINH
larity Of the implements employed, of
the burial of the dead being exactly
alike, and of the close likeness of the
skulls found in the tombs of the mound
building period, whatever the locality
may be-. The Aztecs were not the
mound builders, because he holds that
they had no tendency through re-
ligious or other motives in that direc-
ton, and the specimens of pottery found
in the mounds and pyramids could not
have been made by the Aztecs.

INDIANS AS WoRKMEN.

The popular theory that the Indian
cannot be made to work is not alto
gether unfounded. 1t by no means
follows, however that he cannot be
induced to work, and work well, when
removed from his native surroundings
and supplied with the proper incen
tives. The Indians in the industrial
schools at Hamptan, Va, and at Car
Isle, Pa, have shown a readiness to
acquire trade and a capacity to
learn to handle tools sklllfuIly that
must stagger the prejudices of those
who have adopted the frontier creed
that the only useful Indian is bead
Indian.
At the recent public exercises at
Carlisle, q Plains Indian was the
proud though seemingly stolid, ex-
hititor of a wagon built entirely by
himself, piece of work that older
mechanics might not have been
ashamed of. The Springfield Repub-
lican says that there are now on ex-
hibition in Boston samples of shoes
and harnesses made at Hampton In
stitute, which beth in finish and SER
viceableness are able, in the opinion
of competent inspectors, to compete
successfully with the products of reg
ular workmen. The shoes are part
of contract for two thousand pairs
which the Government gave to the
Superintendent of the Institute, Gen
eral Armstrong, last spring. The
Government has also ordered seventy
five sets of double pillow harnesses.
General Armstrong is confident
that within five years, as the hundred
Indians st Hampton, the three hun
dred at Carlisle, and others under
instruction elsew here, become mas.
tiers of the craft, all the shoes and
harnesses needed on the plains can
be made by Indian young men at
home. - Scientific american.

eral Legislatures has been called to

ing that the testimony of persons be

If they must be retained, it should
be in comfortable and respectable
quarters, and not thrust into a com
mon prison, where young people
particularly, who are guiltless OF
crime, become demoralized to posi-
bly, an irreciaimable degree. The
detained party should also be com.
pensated for his loss of time, for it
is the poor man, who Is unable to
give security. who becomes the VIC
tim of the law, and to lock him up

neration, when he may possibly have
near and dear relatives to 81 pport, is,

barbarous and shameful. IS. f. Call.

TIE PERCElvER WoRSETHAR

Another instance has just occurred
in New York city to illustrate the
moral of Bret Harte's fable, to the
effect that he who hears or sees of a

commits it. In other words the of.
fender is let off on bail, while the in.
nocent spectator is held as witness.

which seemed . most unreasonable
commitment, since he resided with

THE RESOURCES EGYPT.

The London Times has printed an
exhaustive article upon the resources
of Egypt, compiled from the latest
and most authoritative statistics,
which contains some interesting in
formation In view of the prominent
position which that country now oc.
cupies before the world. The popula.
ton of Egypt proper consists of 5,
$4,000 souls, and that this popula
ton is principally rural is shown by
the census of the following chief
towns: Cairo, 1927, 1862; Alexandra,
165,75l; Damietta, 32,730; Rosetta,
16,243; Suez, 1897; Port Said, g.,
954. The exports of Egypt consist
entirely of natural produce, such as
Gotten, wheat, sugar, and beans,
amounting in 1880 to S67, 625, 900,
while the imports of cotton manu-
features, coal, indigo, and timber,
amounted in the same year to $34,
10000, the excess of exports indIca-
ting the magnitude of her foreign
Indebtedness, more than two-thirds
of which is to Great Britain. In I'D
elton to the political and indirect
interest of England in the canal, she
has direct interest in it to the ex-
tent of $20,00O,000, represented by
shares bought ID 1876 and twelve
years, interest due. Classifying all
the loans, there is total of $500, 900,
600 of capital invested in what is
practically mortgage on Egypt.
Five English banking companies rep
resent $15, 100000, and these banking
establishments have arisen not from
any needs OF the agricultural people
of Egypt, but from the needs of those
engaged in the transit trade.

A FEW Errors.


publican primaries in Lyon county,
J. d, Simms was elected from Day
ton. He 10 said to be anti.Strother.
VIM. King, Silver City, also anti
Strother. The other two are for
Strother. 1t is said there are about
fifty votes in the town of Sutro, all
told, but by industrious work man
aged no rell up about a hundred.
The Democrats pitched in and helped
the boys all they could. In the even
ing they had their primary election
and when the Democratic raiders
from the Comstock arrived to take a
hand in the affair, the Republicans
extended a bel ping hand and voted
very indussriously as long as their
services were needed. Nothing like
being neighborly, especially in
politics.
The Times has been badly led as
tray by some person. In the first
place Mr.. Simms is not anti -Strother.
He has no preference for Strother,
but goes to the convention free, and
if he sees that Mr.. Strother is the
most available candidate will support
him. The Silver City delegate is
Thos. P. Mack, and the Sutro dele,
gate is Geo. W. Shaw. The VIM.
King mentioned is W. r. King. He
received his vote at the Mound House
which is one of the outside precin cts
of Lyon county, but is also 3 station
on the V. T. R. r. Regarding TIE
Sutro vote there is a gross miss
statement. The contest in that place
was scarcely contest and the repub-
lican vote was very light only "a
votes in all having been polled. The
account which the Times and other
papers have accepted as true is evil
IDENTIFY intended to create the impress
sion that unfair means were used by
the Republicans who favored Mr..
Strother, and to cover up discrep
ancy in the vote at the Mound House.
This place Is accredited by those who
know the population with 81 votes
in all, Democrats and Republicans.
On the day of the primaries there
we're 5 votes cast at the Democratic
polls and 25 at the Republican. The
other outside precincts which were
grouped with the Mound House in
the selection of q delegate voted
almost solidly for the opponent of
Mr.. King, but the people in those
districts live at great distances from
the polling places and not enough
interest was taken to induce them to
neglect their work. long enough to 60
and vote. The railroad influence at
the Mound House gave Mr.. King
3 majority of the votes cast, but the
actual majority of Republican votes
of residents of Lyon county were
cast for bis opponent in the outside
precincts, and if Democratic assist
ance was rendered it was rendered at
the Mound House, and not to Mr..
Shaw in sutro as the story set afoat,
and believed by people unacquainted
with the facts, would indicate.
