How to keep a copper tea-kettic
bright: Buy five cents worth of oxalic
acid and put it in a wine bottle and
fill with cold water; when dissolved,
rub the kettle with a cloth dipped in

to make the kettle shine, and the
kettle must be cold when cleaned.

FARM AND FEREsIDR.


MARKS of a Good Cow.
Maryland Farmer.
Those who keep but ono or two
good cows naturally want them for
general purposes, do not want mere
butter COW, nor yeta mere milk an
imal, but one which combines both in
as great degree as can be found.
Such cows are not plentiful, we ad-
NIT, or, at least, are not often fer sale
at a moderate price, so that wher they
are offered it behooves would be pur-
ehasers to be able to tell them. We
do not believe in very small COWS, nor
yet in large, heavy animals; as neither,
as rule, are capable of filling the
bill, the former too often falling short
in the quantity, while the large ones
are apt to run too much to flesh to
make them profitable dairy animals.
The medium-sized ones invariably
prodruce the best results, and heavy
mixer and large butter-maker is
seldom fat, as the majority of the
food she consumes is converted into
milk and butter The head should
be fine but bony, with small horns,
large meal y nose, and shapely ears.
The base of horns and the inside of
the ears should be of bright golden
color. We have never yet seen an
animal with horns and ears well col
ored golden yellow which failed to
make fine quality of butter and
highly colored. 1t is an unnistakable
sign. The body should be of good
size, and the width and depth rapidly
increase as it runs to the rear or hind
quarters. The milk veins should be
large and prominent, and the udder
need not necessarily be large, so it is
not meaty; bnt is small when MIXED
out, The teats should be of good size
and only have a single hole in each.
We have seen quite number with
teats having two holes. The hair
should be fine and soft, while the skin
should be pliabie and almost as soft to
the touch as velvet or kid. In colors
it should be tinged deeply with yellow,
especially on the shoulder and flank
and along the back.
Hair is rather secondary matter,
though the best cows are generally
yellow, tawn gray or white, with dark
marks edged with yellow. Black cows
but seldom prove to be good general
purpose ones, though, of course, there
are exceptions frequently met with.

A mixture which is excellent for
removing grease spots and stains from
carpets and clothing is made Of two
ounces of ammonia, two ounces Of
white CASTLE soap, one ounce of gIy-
cerine, one ounce of ether; cut the
soap fine, dissolve in one pint of
water over the fire; add two quarts of
water. This should be mixed with
water in the proportion of teacup-
full to one ordinary-sized pail Of water.
Mix thoroughly and wash soiled gar
ments in it. For removing spots use
a sponge or clean flannel cloth, and
with dry cloth rub as dry as possible.
Wooden goods may be made to look
bright and fresh by being sponged
with this.

Opium Importation.

Washington, Ex-senator Miller,
of California, reported from the
Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions a substitute for the bill to pro-
hibit the importation Of opium. 1t
prohibits its importation In any form
by a Chinese subject, provides for
the olfeiture of packages in whole
or in part of opium consigned to
Cinnamon in the United. States, for
the fine and imprisonment Of offend
ers against the act; prohibits the
impor tation by any one of opium
upon a vessel owned by Cinnamon
or flying the Chinese flag, even
when chartered by citizens or sub
jects Of another country; provides
for the seizure and forfeiture OF all
opium found In United States ports,
and imposes a fine co usl to the value
OF the opium seized on the master OF
the vessel. Whenever 1t appears
that the government Of China has
promulgated appropriate legislation
prohibiting citizens Of the United
States from importing opium into
the open ports of China or trans
porting it fir ON one port to another.
or buying and selling opium in
China, the consular courts are au-
thorizsd to try offenders and impose
fine and imprisonment upon convic-
tiOn.

The Hoyt Will Case.

New York, 26.-In the contest
over the will of the late Jesse Hoyt
to-day, Cornelius Van3antevord was
cross-examined by COnkling. Wit
ness was never approached in regard

was. He knew about his malady in
q general way, that he had died OF
starvation. One day after the
funeral witness went to the resi-
dence OF Mrs. Hoyt with Samuel n.
Hoyt, and read to her the provi>
sions of the will, giving her s., 25O,.

what was provided for her she said
that was much larger provision
than she expected, and she did not
want so much. Witness then went
to the Windsor Hotel, where Miss
Hoyt was stopping. He did not
take Miss Hoyt near the window
and look scrutinizingly in her face,
or say in that connection, "YOu are
no more crazy than any other mem
Der of the family" She said she
would not violate her word, and
would go back with Mr.. Hall and
his wife to the asylum, "a she had
promised to do.
