The Fort Duauesne Blockhous,


There are probably select few of the
citizens of Pittsburg who are aware that
a location of great historic interest ex-
lists in that smoke-b -begrimed city. But
it is fact that the majority of the citi-
zens in that town could not find the old
Fort Duquesne blockhouse without
guide, Surrounded by all kinds of de-
lapidated tenements, itself occupied as
the dcmicile of poor family, the for
tress for which nations strove and which
armies marched to assault or defend a
century and half ago is as good as bur-
led from public view. 1t is discreditible
to the city which originated and grew
up among these historic walls that the
old fort has not been preserved and
made the chief point of attraction to all
patriotic people who visit it's busy marts.
A movement has been lately set on foot
for public park, of which it shall be
the chief attraction. 1t is to be hoped
the enterprise will be something more
than merely talked about. The people
of Pittsburg owe it to themselves to res
cue this monument of the early occupa-
ton of our country from the oblivion
into whick it has fallen. No city on the
continent has so proud a monument Of
the heroic days of the republics vigor-
Gus childhood and youth as this. 1t
should be preserved to the latest posi-
bic time.-Philadelph Times.

Dorsey's Cattle Ranch.

Interview in st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
When he started Dorsey was rich. and
was making money by the hatful every
day in mines and stocks aud-politics,
and could blow in $25 900 or $4,000 on
his ranch at a time without missing it.
Men and times have changed since then,
and business and values have come down
to bedrock basis. By utilizing the fin
est pastures for the thoroughbreds and
letting the common cattle run on the
range, | hope to make the ranch q pay
ing nvestment.-There are now on the
Dorsey ranch considerably over $4,000
head of cattle and band of2 900 horses,
from which we raise the "cow ponies"
and few heavy draught horses. The
herders use up over 800 ponies every
year, and we have to keep large band
OF mares to supply them. We branded
last year over 1000 calves, and will turn
out about 10000 this year. 1t is only
question of time when the number will
reach 10000 or 25,OO0, all of high grade.
and then the ranch will be the most
profitable of any on the continent.

Fame and Happiness for Women.

To the very finest natures literary
fame can give but small pleasures. As
suredly George Eliot was far from being
happy woman with all her came and
alliher intellectual triumphs. And per-

supposed. It is not literary fame that
can satisfy the yearning in woman's
heart. "Mais vous, de qai on MEASURE

Sail for Hogs.

AS rule hogs require very little
salt, small quantity of which acts
upon them as an active purgative, and
more of it as an acrid poison. Some
persons occasionally have given the
brine from meat barrel to the pigs
supposing it would be good for them,
and have killed them by so doing, the
salt causing fatal inflammation of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is quite suffi-
Gent to throw a very little salt to pigs
in their feed trough once week or in
two weeks, but not more or oftener.
When they do not take it willingly one
may be sure they do not want it. The
reason why COWS and sheep want salt
frequently is that there is considerable
salt in milk, and these animals consume
a large quantity of coarse food, to di-
gest which some salt is required. Pigs
are not that kind of animal, and SO need
very little salt.

The Floods. and Losses.

cally recites the suffering and losses entailed
upon a portion of that section of the
country by the recent floods. The losses.
exclusive of Cincinnati and immediate vi
cinity, where the damage done also amounts
to millions of dollars, will aggregate over
$3,0000o0. Says the indianapolis dispatch:
The waters have now rece1ed from the
flooded districts in the valleys of the Ohio
and Wabash rivers, and something like an
adequate idea can be formed of the damage
done. At Lawrenceburg about six hundred
houses were either totally, destroyed, or SO
wrecked as to be uninhabitable and 1900
people are homeless and destitute, dependent
upon charity for support. Every business
man i'll the city is absolutely ruined,
ard during the past ten days men
who ave been regarded as prosperous and
upon the local relief committees for
food for their families. Down the river for
$50 miles the country is devastated to width
of three or folr miles. Fences, sheds, barns
and houses are swept away. The farmers
have lost all their stock and agricultural
products. Their property is greatly dam
aged, N d it will take them years to restore
their property in the condition it was before
the flood. At Madison the loss will not reach
over 1900, and this will fall generally
upon the manufactures, although 40 resi-
dences were either inundated or washed away.
At Jacksonville the destruction was most
appalling. A city of 5000 inhabitants was
completely submerged to an average depth
of twelve feet. The people were fortunate to
escaI @ with their lives, but in no case was
their personal property saved. The stock of
200 business houses was ruined, so far as
water could do it. The suffering here among
the people was terrible. A thousand labor
ing men, mostly with families, not only are
thrown out of employment for weeks to come.
but their houses and household goods are
ruined. One of the government supply de
pots is located here and nearly five hundred
soldiers widows who were employed as seam
stresses in making clothes were rendered
homeless The waters in subsiding have left
furniture and crushed walls indicate the
force of the waves as they wept in from the
Ohio.
Two miles below Jacksonville the little
village of Charleston was under water SO
deep that the ferry boats ran over it. just
across on the Kentucky shore Portland, n
thriving manufacturing town, was almost
entirely destroyed. At New Albany the
manufacturers suffer loss of 100000, and
80 houses were taken from their founda-
ticns and carried down the river. Further
down the damage was not so great, Attic ugh
Leavenworth. the seat of Crawford county,
was almost destroyed. OF the intervening
country between Lawrenceburg and New
Albany, on the Indiana side, estimates are
but little more than guesswork. The prin-
cipal damage is by the washing away of
fences, sheds, stables, stock and agricultural
products $4,000 would be but a small
estimate for this. A summary of the total
loss from New Albany to the Ohio line is as

Herein Lies the Secret

What is the chief advantage gained
in feeding cooked corn to hogs? Asks
"Stockman" in the Rural Nelo Yorker
and replies that has not been madeI
very clear by the advocates of cooking
hogs food. In nearly every case these|
persons claim that there is less danger
of the food being bolted without
proper mastication when it is cooked
or mashed. Now this is a popular fall
lacy. 1t is broadly stated in a Western
stock journal that, so far as regards
bran fed to COW, this is true. But
even this authority is wrong. To ties l.
it give COW two quarts of dry braI
and watched her eat it-with m,
watch in my hand. She occupied seven
teen minutes in the chewing process
and a good deal of saliva was secrete(
during the process. The next day a
the same hour-noon--I gave her
mash of two quarts of bran which haS
been scalded and stepped five hours. l
was all swallowed and the trough licke
in three minutes. l have not time
pigs in this respect, but l know that
quantity of boiled meal or corn will b
eaten in half the time that dry mei
or corn will. The dry meal cannot
swallowed until it is well mixed wild
saliva and reduced to soft paste. An
herein is the secret of it all. 1t is tt
food that is digested that makes IL
flesh and fat. Now water is not ar
aid to digestion, nor is the softenir
of the food before it is eaten. On I'll
contrary, it is hindrance to it becau
the soft, pulpy food sooner passes o
of the stomach. Saliva is a digesti
agent, and not only softens the TO
but makes the starch soluble, and the
is no question that in the chewing
the dry food very large quantity
saliva is secreted and mixed very eve
ly with food. Let any one give mo
of boiled oats to horse that has be-
used to have the grain dry, and
soft oats will be found quite plentiful
in the during the naxt day.

Beets.

For beets the soil should be rich,
mellow end deep. Plant in drills about
two inches deep and the rows about
twelve or fifteen inches apart. Set the
seeds in the drills about two inches
apart. For field culture the rows
should be wide enough to admit the
horse cultivator and the roots not
nearer than one foot in the rows. The
mangelwurzel beets grow to very
large size, are coarse and wonderfully
productive, making excellent food for
cattle. Those who have never tried
the mangels for stock, have yet to
learn of their great value for cattle,
both for milk and meat. Then, they
are juicy and refreshing, and add to
the health and comfort of the animals.
In no way can so much good food be
grown as cheaply as in mangels.-

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.



String beans make good pickles,
though unless they are canned i'm
mediately after picking they will not
retain their freshness longer than for a
week or two. TO pickle them, first
remove the strings" then pour hot
vinegar over them. They will be
ready for use in day OF two.
A good way to save and use small
slices of old meat is to chop them fine,
add some bread crumbs, salt and pep
per; moisten with milk or with gravy
or stock. Make this into fat cakes,
dip them in egg, and fry them until
brown; or put the meat in a pudding
dish or basin, press it for two or three
hours, and slice it for tea
The artistic mode of frying fish is
what is called the wet process, which
is simply boiling it in fact. Butter
should never be used, as the color
never is good. Lard is considered by
many to be the frying medium, but
Careme, the great French cook, gives
the preference to beef fat--not, how
ever, the dripping from the roast, but
lard made by melting beef suet.
Here is an excellent recipe for the
foundation of all kinds of fruit frit-
tiers. Make a batter of half pint of
sweet milk, ten ounces of flour, and
two ounces of butter; sweeten and
flavor to suit your taste The whites
of two eggs well beaten are to be stirred
IN last, or to make variety, YOU can
sometimes use both the yolks and
whites. Stir the chopped fruit in this
batter, and fry in hot lard, dropping it
by spoonfuls; or you can dip the fruit
in the batter and fry. The first time
you try this weigh the ingredients;
after that it will not be necessary if
you are like most cooks, good at
guessing"
