IT SEEMS that the Baltimore & Ohio
road is not going to have an easy time
getting into New York If rival interests
can prevent It, 1t Is said that the ton
mage annually passing through the XIII
Won Kull amounts TO about 1893, 600 900
and that previous attempts TO bridge it
have been resisted by the New Jersey
Legislature on the ground that TO do SO
would seriously Interfere with the traf-
fc. There is on the New Jersey statute
books law prohibiting the construc-
ton of a bridge across the Kill Won
Kull without special authority from the
Legislature, and the members of Con.
gress and Senators from New Jersey
have been requested to oppose the
granting by Congress of the right to
build the proposed bridge. The Bald-
more IL Ohio people were doubtless
well aware, however, that all possible
distractions would be sprung against
their new enterprise and took early pre-
cautions to overcome them. Tho bridge
will only cost about 5000, 900, the plans
have been made and we are told that
work on II will commence next week.
A structure can certainly be built, like
that over the Hudson at Albany, which
would not in the least impede the nayi-
CATION of the Kin Won Kull. viii the
b. & o. be permitted to build it with
out controversy and delay?

Pork.

Spirit of the Farm.
Nothing will justify the farmer in
failing to make his own bacon. 1t
takes next to no trouble to grow hogs
enough to supply any ordinary fam
lily, and but little corn to fatten them.
A proper attention, a good pasture,
and the thing is done. One good
sow will, with care, make pigs for the
farmers use, one year with another.
They seldom bring less than eight
pigs, and the SOW will do this three
times in eighteen months, or twice in
the year, This will make pork for a
medium-sized family, besides fresh
pork now and then. We know of
nothing more profitable than this, or
more essential in farm-yard. Many
modern farmers prefer to buy their
meat to raising it. This is a short
sighted policy, and should not be en-
cOuraged. A family depending on
the market does not have that plenty
so dear to the heart Of the housewife,
to say nothing of scant supply Of
lard, and the loss of the delicacies OF
a hog-killing. They know nothing
Of the delicious chittling, or home
made sausage, together with the
other things attending slaughtering
ones own hogs. One of the greatest
delights of the farmer is to watch his
hogs eat, see their gradual conversion
of rough, long-legged shOats to the
great, bulky, lazy pork hog. 1t is 8
pleasure no farmer should deny him
self.

Some Gourd Vines.
Athens Post

Athens Post
A descendant of Baron Munchausen
who lives in Alabama, writes that he
knew an instance of three hills of
gourds planted near the middle of an
hundred acre farm, and they covered
the entire farm so densely that the
field mice have not penetrated the
vines more than ten feet in 20 years;
and the gourds are of such delicious
flavor that the stock will eat them
when they have refused the conch
pea. These gourds will run the en-
tire distance of a mail route, swamp
ing every pOstoffice on the line; the
vines beat a mountain of rock as fer
tilizers; they not only grow best in
dry weather but actuallyrain refresh
ing showers on the other crops; and
they are warranted to feed a milking
COW forty weeks or money refunded.

Digging Potatoes.

Spirit of the Farm.
In digging potatoes, either Irish or
sweet, it is important not to dig them
in wet weather. If dug while the
soil is wet and heavy, Jumps Of dirt
will stick to them, and if dried on
the potato will be very difficult to re-
move without damaging the tuber.
This conceals the real character of the
potato, hides diseasedspots, and other
wise renders them unfit for market.
When ready to dig, have at hand a
shelter where they should be depos-
tied for day at least, longer if prac-
ticable, so they will dry, then they
may bestored. Sort the smaller from
the larger in the field, remove all
with blemishes or wounds. They
should not be exposed to light longer
than is required to dry them, as light
Injuries the flavor. Store in darkness

Ammonia Cheaper than Soap.
Ladies' Home journal.

Ladies' Home Journal.
Ammonia is cheaper than soap,
and cleans everything it touches. A
few drops in a kettle that is hard to
clean makes grease and sickness
fade away, and robs the work of all
its terrors. Let it stand ten minutes
before scraping off, and every corner
WILDE clean. 1t cleans the skin and
penetrates in the drain-pipe. Spots,
finger-marks, or paint disappear I'M
der its magical influence, and it is
equally effective on floor and Oil
cloth, though it must be used with
care on the latter, or it twill injure the
polish. There is nothing equal to it in
cleaning the silverware, and gives it
higher polish, and keeps clean long
er than anything else. If the silver
be only slightly furnished put two
table spoOnsful of ammonia into
quart of hot water, brush the tar
ished articles with it and dry with a
channels. If badly discolored, they
may need little whiting previous to
the washing. An old nail brush goes
into the cracks to polish and bright
en-. For fine muslin or delicate lace
it is invaluable, as it cleans without
rubbing the finest fabrics. Put a few
drops in your sponge, battle in hot
weather, and you will be astonished
at the result, as it imparts GOODNESS
to the skin. Use it to clean hair
brushes, and to wash any hair or
feathers to be used for beds or pillows.
When employed in anything that is
not especially soiled, use the waste
water afterward for the hOuse-plants
that are taken down from their usual
position and immersed in tub of
water. Ammonia is a fertilizer and
helps to keep healthy the plant it
nOurishes. In everything in fact,
ammonia is the hOusekeeper's friend.
