The Cotton Crop.

New o leans, 4.-The National
Cotton Exchange reports for July
are mora favorable for the cotton
crop which has improved about ten
points, bringing it up to 81 against
So for June and 81 for Msy. On
the Atlantic seahoard the
rainfall was somewhat eX-
cessiYe, particularly in South
Carolina ard the betterment there
is mainly in Georgia. The low tems
persture and continued rains OF the
first half of July, proved a dis
advantage to the crop Of North
CaroliGs. In Alabama the plant
suffered from rain, and deficient
cultivation; West II ssissippi
improved materially; West
Of Mississippi the copdition con;in-
ned to advance with timely showers
but Texas owing to the protracted
drought has not made sny progress
and situation in that state is now
very critical, for while the plant has
stood the dry Eeather extraordinar-
lily we'll 1t is now losing ground and
suffering for mois ure.

FARM AND FIREsIDE.

"A crop of corn is essential on all
farms upon which stock is kept. Being
extremely rich in carbon, it not only
provides nourishment for growth but
produces heat and fat above all other
cereals.-Prairie Farmer.
Good Corn Bread: One pint each
of wheat and Indian meal, one cup of
sugar, one tablespoonful of lard, one
teaspoonful of salt. two eggs, two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, or one tea
spoonful of soda and one quart of milk
or cold water. Bake two hours.-IHe
Household. /"
Minute Soup: Take light and
rather stale bread or crackers and
crumb into a tureen, adding a lump of
butter, plenty of pepper and salt, and
half a cupful of cream If fond of on
ions, cut a few slices and lay on the
top; then pour plenty of boiling water
over the whole. You can add an egg
well MISUNDERSTANDING.
"A good way to use up bits of cold
turkey is to cut them in pieces of uni
form size if possible, make a batter of
milk and flour and an egg, sprinkle
pepper and salt over the cold fowl and
mix with the batter; fry as you do any
kind of ~fritters, in hot lard, drain well
and serve hot. This is q good break
fast dish.-M. Y. Post.
According to DR.. j. G. Peters, it is
filth that causes most of the diseases of
domestic animals. He mentions par
ticularly the habit of allowing bedding
and manure to accumulate under the
horses and other animals in stables.
The impure air thus generated is pecu-
liarly well adapted to injure the health
of the animals compelled to breathe it.
Troy Times.
For a good luncheon dish, take a
pound of soaked Goldfish and when cold
mince it fine. Heat a cup of drawn
butter, stir in the fish, pepper t taste.
mix in well two tablespoonful of grated
cheese butter a baking dish; pour in
the fish, strew fine, dry crumbs on top,
and set in the oven until delicately
Drowned. Cold fresh cod, halibut, or
other firm, white fish is very good pre-
pared in this manner.-B )ston Globe.
Farmers should not forget that the
bran and other coarse feed made from
wheat are richer in elements of plant
food than the whole grain, and, of
course, feeding them makes a richer
manure. A ton of wheat bran is worth
S14.59 cents for manure, while a ton of
corn MEALS only worth Sc. IS. Thesetig-
ures are based on the cost of nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash in their
commercial forms, and represent the
comparative manurial value of feed
/ NeO England Farmer.
"A correspondent of the American
Farmer says the following is a recipe
for making an excellent liniment: '.Oil
cedar, two ounces; spirits turpentine,
two ounces; sweet oil, two ounces;
h%artshorn, two ounces. To this add a
lump of gum camphor as large as a
mans thumb from first joint. With
this I cured a valuable horse of blood
SPAWN. 1t will cure sweeny the quick
est of anything I W used. 1t is good
for headache and other pains and
aches"

as to certain things I was always talk
ing about in my swanderings,' in q fit
of fright went on her knees and con-
fessed all about it. 1t was she who,
under her husbands directions, had
placed the 'coachman' in my bed. The
horrible noises in the wall were made
by a cat, muzzled and suspended by a
string tied to its tail. and let down be-
tween the double partition of iath and
plaster, through a hole in the floor of
their room. It was she who acted the
ghost, which she could well do, being
much like her aunt in features, or of
just her stature. She explained, also,
how that the wizard was in the con-
spiracy, and that the flaming letters of
the ghostly message were made with
phosphorus on the dark wall behind
me, and opposite the mirror in which
they appeared. The money was to be
divided between them; but luckily the
division had not yet been made. 1t was
equally lucky. for me that my doctor
was a man of determination, and that
he had a lawyer friend of his own sort.
Between them, and by threatening to
put the whole affair in the hands of the
police, they got back every pound of
my money, and that was the pleasant
news they had to tell me as soon as I
got a bit better and was strong enough
to hear it. And here 1 am, after all, as
you see, and where Hamshire is you
likewise have seen. As for the wizard, ,
