HOME AND FARM.

Too much whole grain will make
the hens fat, more liable to disease, and
less likely to lay.
For citron cake stir together three
cups of brown sugar, four and one-half
cups of flour, seven eggs, two cups Of
citron cut in small pieces, two and one
half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one
cup of butter, one and one-half cups OF
sweet milk.-Chicago NeUs.
The basket willow will grow we'll
around the mill ponds and along the
margins of the water-courses. 1t is an
article which is always salable, and
should be made to take the place of the
unsightly briars and bushes that often
prove so troublesome in such places.
The United States Veterinary Jour-
nal, Chicago, recommends the follow
ing as remedy for heaves: Powdered
resin, two ounces; tartar emetic, two
ounces; Spanish brown, two ounces,
and Cayenne pepper, two ounces. MIX
and give.two teaspoonfuls twice q day
in soft feed.
For Lancashire pie, take cold beef
or veal and chop and season as for
hash; then put into shallow baking
dish a layer of the meat, then layer of
hot-mashed potatoes, well seasoned,
and so on until the dish is filled. Make
the top layer of the potatoes and make
little holes and drop in small pieces OF
butter, and bake until nice brown.
The Devon cattle, in the opinion OF
the Chicago Times, are probably better
adapted to the conditions and wants oi
the far West, where the feed is scanty,
the climate severe, and considerable
heavy teaming is required, than ami
mails OF any other breed. 1t predicts
that, though for the present out OF fash
ion, they are Gas sure to come into
fashion again as the old styles OF bon
nets"
Substitute for Butter: A lady who
is famous housekeeper recommends
an economical plan for making cakes
without butter, which may be of use to
our readers who have dread of "mar
garine." Take a piece of fat pork, melt
it down and strain it through piece of
coarse, thin muslin. Set it aside until
it is cold. 1t is then white and firm,
and may be used like butter IN any klnd
of cake. In pound-cake, she assures us
It is delicious.
Graham Padding: Mix well TO-
gether one-half coffee cup of molaSses,
one-quarter of cup of butter, one egg,
one-half cup of milk, one-half a tea
spoonful of pure soda, one and one half
cups of good graham flour, one small
teacup Of raisins, spices to taste. Steam
four hours and serve with brandy or
wine sauce, or any sauce that may be
preferred. This makes a snowy as well
as light and wholesome dessert, and
has the merit of simplicity and cheap
ness. .-I0ledO Blade.
Wet weather is frequently followed
by attacks of pneumonia among sheep.
These animals can not well resist wet
and cold together. This disease is
rarely cured. The best treatment is to
give small tablespoonful doses of tur-
pentine in milk once day-in the
morning before eating. A dram of salt
peter given in bran mash may be ben
eficial. But care to keep the sheep dry
aud to provide dry, airy shed for them
is far more effective to prevent the
trouble than any medicine can be to pro-
mote cure.-N. Y. Times.

Mustard.

: Within the past few years the produc-
ton of mustard has become quite an
industry in California. About three
thousand tons year are now pro-
duced. The mustard plant tlourishes
most in the Salinas Valley, Alameda
County and the southern part of the
State. There are two varieties brown
and yellow. The former grows wild, while
the yellow is cultivated. The brown
mustard seed is growing more scarce
every year, because as it luxuriates on
good wheat lands the farmers pluck
the weeds from their growing wheat.
The mixture of mustard with wheat
makes the wheat rank and destroys its
sale. So while the wheat farmer de-
clares war on the small mustard seed he
is enhancing its value. Formerly the
brown mustard seed was worth only
two cents per pound; now that it is
scarcer it sells at three and one-half
cents, and will likely advance in proper
ton to its scarcity. Formerly the yell
low mustard seed was dearer, but now
it is cheaper, because more abundant.
The yellow variety is imported from
England and from Holland. The brown
Seeu Is lmpOfJtu lIOIl 1bdiN.
The yellow mustard fields of the Sa-
linas Valley are very beautiful, and
smell ranks not only to heaven, but to
every passer-by who inhales the heavily
laden breezes. The plant grows to a
height of two or three feet within a
month. 1t is cultivated mainly by
Chinese. During the first nine months
of the present year about 250, 900 pounds
were shipped from that city, and nearly
$4,000 pounds were shipped from in
terror points. The bulk of the ship
ments are sent East by rail, but large
shipments are also made by steamer
and sailing vessels around the Horn.
The Sovereign of the Seas will leave
in a few days with 5000 sacks.
There is brisk demand for mustard
| in Eastern markets, and our dealers say
they can easily get rid of their supplies.
Mustard is on the free list. Before the
civil war there was q duty on it, but it
was repealed under the pretense that
mustard was medicinal quality, neces-
sary for plasters to weak backs. The
mustard merchants in this, city want the
duty restored to protect q Pacific coast
| industry.
Mustard was formerly used as med1-
cine. 1t was not known to the table
until about 1920. The seed had been
| previously pounded in a mortar, and in
that crude state separated from the in
teguments and prepared for use. In
England at the period referred to it oc-
CURED to woman named Clements that
| mustard could be used for other pur-
poses than blistering. She ground the
seed in a mill and treated it the same
way as flour is treated. Her mustard
was, in consequence, very superior, and
being approved by George I, speedily
came into general use. Mrs. Clements
| kept her secret for considerable time,
though q woman, and acquired large
fortune. In the countries of the far
East mustard is extensively cultivated.

The Guilty Odum.

NV neighbor Odum was in the habit
Of leaving bis large baskets in the field
at night. These baskets were at the end
Of the rows and near the public road.
One night he left seven of these baskets
in the field. Next morning two or three
of them were missing. 1t had rained
the night before, and it was not difficult
to follow the track of a one-horse wagon
that had evidently carried away the
baskets. Mr.. Odum, with trusty me-
gro, who was also interested in the cot
ton, pursued, following the track with
out difficulty till it brought them to the
humble residence of George Washing
ton, colored citizen, where they found
cotton spread out upon the floor, and
evidently but recently placed
there. The man and his wife denied
that it had been stolen; said it was their
own cotton, and so far it seemed impos-
sible to identify the cotton. However,
they secured George and then continued
to follow the wagon track to beyond the
house about half. mile in the woods,
where they found the wagon and the
empty baskets. This was too much for
the namesake of the immortal patriot.
He owned up, and said: "Gentlemen, |
can't tell lie-I stoled dat cotton. [
couldn't help it. 1t warn't my fault. 1t
was Mr.. Odum's fault. He had no bus
mess to put pat cotton so fare to be
took. / can't tell no lie bout it. l took
dat cotton, and the only thing dat
troubled me at the time was dat my
wagon wasn't big enough to take all
dem baskets. I'd tuck all seven if ]
had been had room in dat one-horse
wagon. 1t was Mr.. Odum's fault. -
