FARM AND FIRESIOE.

Boil coffee in salt sack; it is nicer
than egg to settle it.-Chicago journal.
-Raisin pie: Ono cup of raisins. re-
move seeds, and boil in one-half cup of
water fifteen minutes, add small piece
of butter and two teaspoonfuls of sugar;
bake with two crusts.-Hartford Conr-
ant.
1t used to be an old joke with farm
ers that more corn grew on crooked
than on straight rows, simply because
they were greater in length. In tho
best farming districts straight rows of
corn are now the rule and crooked ones
the exception.-N. y Herald.
Hot water gingerbread: One cup
molasses, one teaspoon soda, one table,
spoon ginger, one of butter melted. one
half teaspoon salt, one-half cup boiling
water, two cups flour. Mix in order
given and beat well. Bake in a deep
cake pan.-Boston Globe.
A white birch, cut in March OF
April, and left exposed to the weather
without splitting, will. by August, often
be so rotten that no axe will be needed
for dividing it into stove lengths; but
birch bean poles, cut in midsummer. we
have used two seasons and then found
them comparatively sound, and so
tough that they would bend almost
double without breaking.-NeU En-
gland Farmer.
We can not burn stubble where
land is seeded with clover or grass with
out injuring these. We would not burn
it under these conditions if we could. as
it is worth more to remain on the
ground. But dry stubble ploughed
under is apt in hot summer to do more
harm than good, and it is better
economy on most kinds of soil to turn
it into ashes where it grew.-Prairie
Farmer.
Lemon jelly cake: One cup Of
sugar, piece of butter the size of an egg,
two eggs; put sugar, eggs and butter
together and beat them; add one-half
cup of water, two cups of flour. one
tablespoonful of baking powder; this
makes three layers and is to be put to-
gether with jelly. The juice and grated
rind of one lemon. one cup of sugar,
one egg, piece OF butter the size of a
nutmeg; cook it over hot water. as
custard. till it boils.-Ihe Household.
The Indians had no almanacs. nor
any means of knowing the day of the
month. But their rule for planting
corn was very simple and good one,
and that was when the leaves of the
hickory or butternut were of the size
of squirrels ears. At this time the
ground has become warm enough to
terminate the seed and push it forward.
Corn is semi-troPical plant, and more
impatient of cold than the smaller
grains.
An exchange remarks that hand
hoe which is never ground will wear
much longer than one which frequent
ly comes in contact with the grindstone
but the extra amount of labor that can
be performed with the sharp implement
will be sufficient to pay for new hoe
every three days, to say nothing of the
saving of muscle. 1t is poor economy
to work with dull axe, scythe or hoe.

Further conversation proved Uncle Zach
. most incredulous person. CHANGING to
mention DR.. Carver's feat OF breaking glass
balls with a rifle, he said:
81 heerd bout dat shootin' ana knowed
right off it wasn't squar'; dat was Yankee
trick, boss, sho's you born"
What was the trick?"
"Dar wuz loadstone put into de glass

Later, Uncle Zach observed . roperunning
along the side OF the car.
ITO apply the ajr-brake in case OF acct

the force OF the brake was obtained, to
which Uncle Zach responded:
Look here boss, you sholy don't 'spect
me to b'leeve dat foolishness? Why, de
biggest harricane whatever blowed couldn't
stop dis train, runnin' forty mile hour.
An you think / gwine to bleeve little

No, sah-ree!'
There are a great many Uncle Zacns who
Judge everything simply by appearances.
The air-brake does not seem to be very
powerful thing, but power and efficiency are
not necessarily equivalent to bigness and
pretense.
Phillip Beers, ESQ.,, VINO resides at the
United States Hotel, New York City, and is
engaged in raising subscriptions for the New
York World Bartholdi Pedestal Fund, was
once upbraided by distinguished relative
who was q physician, for commencing in
such enthusiastic terms a remedy that
cured him OF bright's disease eight years
ago. He said: "Sir, has the medical pro-
fession, with all its power and experience OF
thousands OF years, anything that can cure
this terrible disorder" No, no, that is
true; there is no mistake about it but that
Warmers safe cure is really a wonderfully
effective preparation. That remedy is an
'air-brake" that every man can apply, and
this fact explains whyit has saved so many
hundreds OF thousands OF ives.-Copy-

SHEEP MINING.

The Golden Fleece Not Repeated as n
Fable, but rs q Newspaper Fact, In
Montana.
A local sheep raiser has lately dis
covered that the wool of his sheep is
very rich in gold, and it is now thought
that sheep mining will become the most
profitable industry in the territory.
A man who owns a thousand sheep
averaging forty ounces of gold to the
sheep has bonanza. Unlike the ordin-
airy mining bonanza. the sheep bonanza
will be practically inexhaustible. Sheep
breed rapidly, and a man can increase
his flock almost as easily as he can
water the stock of a silver mine, and
with much more profit. His mines, so
to speak, will double in number at least
every year, and the number of his gold
yielding sheep will be limited only by
the extent of his pasture land.
The sheep mine is far easier to work
than is any other mine. The miner
does not have to sink shaft or to drive
a tunnel in his sheep. He simply cuts
off the wool-a process easier than sur
face mining in the best days of early
California gold hunting-and separates
the gold and the wool. This may be
done either BY smelling the wool in a
bonfire or by mixing it with mercury.
In the latter place the gold amalga-
mates with the mercury. and the wool
is left as residuum. The mercury is
afterward driven off by heat, and as a
result the miner has both his gold and
his wool.
How the gold gets into the wool OF
the Montana sheep is problem. There
is theory that the sheep in cropping
grass take a certain amount of gold
bearing earth into their mouths, and
that the gold afterward exudes from
the pores and is caught by the wool.
There is, however, no reason to suppose
that gold taken into the stomach will
find its way out through the pores. If
this were the case. there can be no doubt
that gold would be largely consumed
by girls anxious to dye their hair easily
and permanently. Then there is the
theory that the gold in the wool of the
sheep has been deposited there in the
same way that gold has been deposited
in the strata of the earth. 1t is needless
to say that this theory is held only by
persons who derive their idea of the
longevity of sheep from the spring lamb
of boarding houses. The Montana
sheep does not live through long geolog-
ical periods, and hence gold is not de-
posted in its wool BY the same process
BY which it is deposited in the rocks.
The simplest explanation of the mat
ter is that sheep roll on ground impreg-
mated with gold dust. and thus fill their
wool with gold. However this may be.
there can be no doubt that gold bearing
sheep are desirable animals, and that
Montana is lucky in possessing them
