THE PRICE OF SUGAR.

The ST. Louis Republican says the low
price OF sugar that prevails at the present
time. and which is so dscouraging to Lou
isiana planters. is not the result OF "a large
crop OF native sugar. for Louisiana contrib
utes only about one-eighth to the amount
annually consumed in this country; nor to
large crop in Cuba. the island from which
the main part Of our supply is obtained, for
the Cuban plantations are running to waste,
and the Cuban crop is growing smaller
every year. 1t is not very clear what the
cause OF the low price is; the most reasona-
BILE explanation; however, is that which
attributes it to the increasing supply OF beet
sugar produced in Germany, France and
Austria. The cultivation of beets for sugar
purposes is the most profitable speciality in
European agriculture, and both Germany
and France now raise. not only sufficient
port. Beet sugar made in Germany and
France is now largely consumed in Eng
land. This, of course, discourages the use
of West India sugar and breaks down the
price. The Louisiana planters feel the
effect, for it really destroys the protective
value of the tariff on imported sugar levied
for their benefit. AS the cultivation of beet
sugar in Europe ir not likely to decrease,
but will on the other hand steadily grow, it
may be taken for granted that sugar will
be cheap for some years to come, and the
Louisiana planters will have to conform to
this fact. A larger amount of saccharine
can be produced on an acre of ribbon cane
In Louisiana than on an acre OF beets in
France; yet beet sugar is raised at cheap
er cost than cane sugar. and beet cultivation
is steadily increasing in Europe, while there
is little extension of the area devoted tC
cane-g growing in Louisiana. The explana-
ton of this is that sugar making in Louis
lana is a wasteful process. A large proper
| ton, one-fifth at least, of the saccharine
raised on a Louisiana plantation is thrown
away In the bagasse, or refuse stalk. Ii the
saccharine could all be extracted from the
bagasse, Louisiana sugar could be mucf
more cheaply raised, and sugar-growing il
that State could be what it is not now-s
profitable business.
If sugar making is to be maintained as {
speciality in Louisiana, more economical
methods must be used in the cultivation o

We 1uuSehuld

Excelsior Yeast.-Pare and boil enough
potatoes to make a pint when mashed.
While yet very warm, mix thoroughly with
it two tablespoonfuls sugar ..and teaspoon
full salt. Then save the starter for next time.
Dirie Biscuits.-Three pints of flour, two
eggs, two tablespoonfuls of lard, one small
cap of yeast one cup of milk mix at IL
o'clock, roll out at 4 o'clock, and cut with
two sizes of cutters, putting the smaller one
on top; let rise until supper. Bake twenty
minutes.
Canning Berries.-Put the the berries and
the amount of sugar used over them in the
cans, set them in cold water, and let it boil
only sufficiently for the sugar to be melted
and the juice to look clear. Fill them to
the top from other cans, and be sure they
are air tight. Then put them away in
cool, dark place.
S,oeetbreads aoith Oranges. s.-Choose the
largest and finest sweetbread you can get,
cash it lightly in two or three places, then
baste it well with butter; when this is done,
squeeze Florida orange carefully over it
that some of the juice may get into the
gashes, sprinkle with pepper and salt tie it
to spit, and let it be carefully and thor
oughly roasted; when the sweetbread is
nearly done, prepare little rich gravy,
take up the sweetbread, squeeze another
orange over it, and pour some of the gravy
over it hot; serve on fat dish, garnished
with thin slices of oranges from which the
seeds have been extracted.
Rhubarb as an Adjunct.-When making a
strawberry or raspberry tart, if you have
not enough of the fruit, take rhubarb and
clean and stew it. When cold, to a quart of
rhubarb add pint of berries, and you will
be surprised to see how the flavor of the
rhubarb is concealed by the fruit. 1t is one
of the peculiarities of rhubarb that it i'm
bibes all t1avors. In making homemade
wines, it will be found invaluable. You
can prepare preserved ginger from it,
f1avoring it with orange, lemon or almond.
Boil rhubarb and currants together (either
red or black) and strain, and you have cur
rant jelly. Flavor the simple juice of rhu-
barb with lemon peel and stick cinnamon,
and you have fine ounce jelly. Then again,
bell the simple juice with brown sugar, on
ly adding small quantity of molasses, let
ting it get quite dark and thick, and you
have the very best coloring for gravies and
soups. Boil some juice with an equal guam
tity of white sugar and some red currants,
and strain it. Then boil again, drop in
singly some ripe and large Strawberries,
and you will have a delicious addition to
your winter fruits. The possibilities of
rhubarb are quite wonderful. There is only
one important thing to be remembered: for
mixing it with other fruits you must, first
extract the juice boiling it a0itheut sugar, and
then strain, add the desired quantity of
sugar, and go on with your process.

If your young chickens or turkeys droop
and die mysteriously, look tor lice the first
thing. A few lice Oh the heal will kill the
chickens when they cannot be seen on the
body. Blow the down on the head so as to
part it, and you will see the lice sticking TO
the scalp. Scales around the eyes are an
indication of lice. Some mild fresh grease
like fresh butter or sweet oil is good, and
only little should be used. Hens should
be freed from lice while setting.

A GLANCE at Montana farms clearly re-
yeals the fact that the best meadows are
those that have been made so by irrigation
Our bench lands, when well irrigated, Will
the second year produce from one and
halt to two tons of bluejoint hay. And
this is the best grass that Montana produces.
There is no good reason why every farmer
may not have a meadow of this kind. one
ton OF this kind of hay is worth two tons ol
slough-grass hay for horse feed. Timothy
might be quite as good and yield more than
blue-joint, but to produce it the land must
be properly seeded. In the case OF lue'
Joint seeding is unnecessary.

EXCELLENT feed Tor horses may be made
OF barley. cut when partially headed out.
After cutting allow it to cure and then stack
in small stacks. A number of our farmers
are IN the habit of cutting and curing both
wheat and barley IN this manner. A sec
OF d crop may be easily raised by flooding
the stubble Immediately after raking up the
grain. Cut it about the first of August. or
earlier if tar enough advanced, and there
will be plenty Of time for tile next grow h
to come before cold weather. We advise
farmers when their grain is thin and heading
out short, to cut it and raise a second crop.
In the second growth several stalks will
come from one. Considerable hay may be
made in this way from thin spots in the
fields. 1t makes better hay than meadow
and is especially recommended tor stations
and mares that have colts.

Election Notes.

Democratic papers are busy selecting
a cabinet for Cleveland.
1t seems to be pretty well established
that the Illinois Legislature Will be
tie on joint ballot.
California made clean sweep and
elected six Republican congressman by
majorities ranging from 100 to 1880.
Elk Senator Conkling has been retain

ings that may arise in the Presidential
contest,
good many of the Democratic zoos
tiers look as though they had been in the
cellar waiting for twsnty-fOur years,
and had now crowed little premature
ly.
Returns demonstrate that in counties
in Iowa where Speaker Carlisle expOund-
ed his tariff views during the campaign
the Republican gains have been unusu-
ally heavy.
The Republican state committee of
New York claim to be able to produce
over 1900 affidavits of persons who voted
| for Butler, whose votes were counted, as
the record shows, not for him bat for
Cleveland.
The people of Ottawa Kan, Saturday
night hung st. John in efigy and placed
over the gibbet card bearing the in
scription: "The Big Four-Judss Iscari-
OF, Benedict Arnold, Jefferson Davis,
John P. st. John"
The evening Of the election the New
York World claimed Cleveland's election
in New York by $4,000 majority. The
next day 1t dropped to 5,497. 1t contin'
ued to drop about 1900 per day until it
reached LOO and then began to shout
Beware of fraud" Cleveland is elect

When the vote is. honestly canvassed
without regard to the man 1t elects, the
people will shake hands over the chasm
and resume business. The country is
