DUBLIN, Dec. 14.-The seizure of arms
in the house of man named Dunno has

SALUTATORY.

With this issue of the FARMER, a
change has taken place in its manage.
ment as you have probably seen by
the valedictory preceding this. AS
We are personally acquainted with
most of the patrons Of the FARMER,
both in the village and the surround
ing vicinity, having been in the Office
here over three years, it will not be
altogether like a stranger stepping
into the ranks. We will say, both to
those of the patrons of the FARMER
that we are personally ac-
quainted with and to those that
we know only by the frequency Of
seeing their names enrolled upon tho
''good book" that never before was
the FARMER in more prosperous
condition than at present. Its adver.
tising patronage is good, and tho
recent enlargement (from an eight to
a nine column folio) gives US goodly
amount of room for news, which we
shall endeavor, to the best of our
ability,to fill with matter that will be
of interest to the citizens of Wadena,
the immediate vicinity, and to par
ties at distance wishing to learn of
the golden opportunities this country
offers to those wishing to make their
homes in a country that knows
nothing but prosperity, and among a
people who are shrewd, energetic,
social, pleasant and of good morals.
We will further state that, although
Mr.. Whitney has disposed of the
FARMER, he intends to remain in Wa.
dena, and will use his influence in
helping to build up the place, as he
has always done before. The citizens
owe great deal to Mr.. Whitney, for
the energy and shrewdness that he
has always manifested in helping to
rear Wadena from its infancy. In
whatever business Mr.. Whitney en-
ters. or wherever he may go, we wish
him an abundance Of success and
prosperity. In conclusion, we will
say, that we intend to conduct the
FARMER in such manner as to be
worthy of your patronage, and to
make it a paper that you will not be
ashamed of, and to do this we will
have to ask you for helping hand.
Hoping that you will continue your
liberal patronage, we remain,
Respectfully yours,
A. H. BEREMAN.

Household Hints.

Alum is one Of the best additions to
make whitewash of lime that will not
rub off,
Raw starch, applied with a little
water as paste, will generally remove
all stains from bed ticking.
To prevent sansages from bursting
when cooking, never make hole in
them with u fork while turning them
To remove tar, rub thoroughly with
clean lard, and then wash with soap
and warm water This may be ap.
piled to either the hands or clothes.
To wash wooden goods nicely, to
each pail of water used add one table
spoonful of ammonia and one of beef
gall, wash out quickly and rinse thor
oughly in warm water with very
little beef-gall added.
When the color of silk has been dcs.
troyed by any strong acid, it may be
restored by carefully wetting the spot
with a strong soap lather, to which a
little saleratus has been added. When
the color has been taken out by fruit
stains ammonia will restore it.

Origin of Blizzard.

In the North american RecieaC Mr..
Tucker looks up the origin Of several
Americanisms, among which is the Wig
Orous newcomer "blizzard." 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that the word biz
zard, as now understood, is Il terrific
storm, with low barometer, light clouds
or none at all, and the air full of parti-
cles of snow, is the form of dry, sharp
crystals, which, driven before the wind,
bite and sting like fire. The term is
said to have made its first appearance
in print about the year 1860, in a news
paper called the Northern TindicatOr,
published at Esthervillc, MINI. Its
etymology can only be guessed at, but
there has been no lack of guesses. The
English word "blister," the French
"bouilard," the German "blitz," the
Spanish "Brisa," the surname "Bliz-
card" (said to be common around Bal
timore), an unpronounceable Sioux
term, and the Scotch verb "blizzen"-
all these and other words have been
uggested with various degrees of I'M
probability as the origin of the term.
Mr.. fuckers conjecture is that it is
simply an attempt, not wholly unsuc-
cessful, to represent the whistling and
driving" noise Of a terrible storm.

BY blowing in green crop, the sur
face soil is enriched, not only by the
elements which the crop derived from
the air, but also by mineral and Vegc-
table matters, which were brought up
by it from the sNb-soil. The green
crop thus acts the part of gatherer of
plant food, and makes it easier for any
crop soon after this green manurlng to
get its supplies from the decomposing
vegetation in the soil. The best plants
adapted for green manuring are those
which derive their support principally
from the air, which grow rapidly,
which cover the ground well and
whose roots penetrate deep and ramify
extensively Throughout the soil.

PGlm4tta Batter Cakes. TO one
quart of milk add the yel:s of four
eggs, beaten very lightly, mix boiled
rice or hominy to suit your taste, and
add -four enough to make the proper
consistency. Lastly, beat the whites
of the eggs very light, and stir in just
before baking. Buttermilk can be
used instead of sweet milk, but the
acidity must be corrected with a little
soda.
Turkey Soup.-Do not throw away
the bones of turkey or chicken. Crack
them and let them boil for two or
three hours in little water; put in
also any nice bits of fowl that are left,
particularly the neck, which is never
eaten. To this add any soup stock
you have, and with little barley or
sago you will have nourishing soup.
Season with pepper, salt and any herbs
you choose.
Breakfast Cakes. A delicious
breakfast cake may be made by taking
enough bread sponge to make, when
risen and baked, cake about two
inches thick; knead into it a piece of
butter about the size of half an egg;
after it is in the tin put on the top
little humps Of butter and then cover
it with fine white butter and ground
cinnamon; when baked there will be Il
sort of crust over the cake. This is
very nice with coffee.
BccfSteah and Onions.-Choose
large white onions, and peel and slice
q dozen while the steak is cooking. A
roun!, sirloin or porter-house steak,
with very little bone should be used, in
! weight about two pounds. Put large
/ frying-pan over the fire and let it get
-, hot that bit of butter dropped into
it will hiss as soon as it touches the
pan; then put the steak into the pan
and quickly brown the under side;
turn it over, season it nth salt and
pepper, put the onions around it SO
that they touch the pan, and turn over
the pan q dish or a cover that just fits
it. Let the steak and onions cook

FOE The FARM AND HOME.


A plan in use in Southern Australia
for leading cattle, said to be very
effective, is as follows; Tie the end of
1he rope around the base of the near
horn; pass the line across the forehead,
back behind the horns and under the
back of the near car, thence up
between the ropes and the animals
forehead When hauled taut a hitch
10 made which takes in the ear, the
least pressure upon which by pulling
the rope, it is said, prevents the most
obstinate beast from hanging back,
