The Damsen Plum.

This is one of the best of all our varie-
ties of plums and indigenous to South
Georgia and Florida, if not the
whole South. is ever scant in our
markets. Our lanes and public ways
should be lined with them, whereas the
trees are seldom seen. They are perfectly
hardy, growing readily in our forests and
often towering high with the beech laurel,
water oak, wahoO, iron wood, sassatras,
chinquepin and other forest trees in our
sandy hammocks. Under cultivation the
trees don't grow tall nor is the fruit as
large as in the wild state, the latter due
to overbearing. If the trees are planted
thick, trimmed and forced to grow tall,
the fruit will be more scant and larger.
We have seen them wild in Southern
Georgia, nearly as large as apricots and
with a most delightful flavor.

THE ALCOHOLIC VALUE OF A
BUSHEL OF CORN.

The Milling World, in answer to a correspond
ent, who calls in question the accuracy of
previous statement in the same paper on the
percentage OF our cereal crop used in distilling,
gives the following curious statement of the
value of bushel of corn when converted into
an alcoholic beverage
Let our correspondent, says the editor, trace
bushel of corn, for instance, from the field to
the drinkers glass. The grower works at least
two hours in raising bushel of corn. He sells
the bushel for 80 cents on his farm. He spends
the 80 cents for two drinks, thus parting forever
with his corn.
Now follow the corn. It cost 80 cents, and Is
turned into seventeen quarts of intoxicating
drink. The distiller receive 40 cents gallon
for converting it into whisky. The corn in Its
changed shape represents the original 81 cts
and the Sl70 for the distiller, making its value
at this stage So. Then the government tax OF 80
cents gallon ADDS % 80 to the value. swelling
the job statesmen and wholesalers, and through
them TO the retailers. By the time it has reach
ed the retailers 1t has been reduced" In
strength and increased In quantity by the ad-
mixture of water and other more harmful sub
stances, so that its measure has at least been
double d, and the corn, when it begins to drop
into tn drinters' glasses on the bar represen is
about 81 gallons Of drink.
Allowing sixty drinks to the gallon, the Off
cial bar average, the bushel of corn will furnish
go drinks. which, at an average of Is cents to
the drink, will take $1,000 from the pockets of
the consumers This, added to the $3.50 put in
to the corn up to the time of reaching the job
bers. makes q total of SIC IS. Subtract the 80
cents which the farmer received for the corn,
and the balance, S46.05, will show the amazing
profit made by those who do not till the soil to
grow the corn, but who multiply infinitely by
scientific means the mischievous powers OF the
grain, and who from this hurtful multiplication
reap easy, large, and relab pro fits The origi-
nal price of the bushel of corn is contained 1855
times In the ultimate receipts from it. In this
way the enormous wasting power Of alcoholic
drink can be easily understood. Our cores
pendent can follow bushel of oats, rye, barley,
malt, or wheat from the producer to the con
sumner through the same channel, and in each
instance his computations will satisiacso rily
answer his questions.

PACKING BUTTER FOR WINTER
Use

Professor George <. Morrow writes as follows
on the subject of packing butter for winter use !:
The packing of butter with reference to Its
preservation for longer period than few days,
or few weeks at most has almost become lost
art in many portions of the country. Fresh but
ter Is naturally preferred, and the great extern
sion Of winter butter-making, both In factories
and private diaries, has largely done away with
the necessity for the once very common practice
of packing some portion of the summers make
for use in winter. There are no especial dificnl.
ties In packing butter SO that 1t Will remain In
good condition for months, sometimes for years.
It is essential that it be we'll made be so thor
mains, and that 1t be closely packed. leaving no
spaces for air in or around 1t. Usually rather
more salt Is used than when 1t is expected the
butter Will be used within short time, but this
is not essential. For home use packing in jars
has advantages, but these are Objectionable If
the butter is to be shipped. Good hardwood
packages, thoroughly soaked and cleansed-bet-
ly. They must be and remain tight, SO that there
shall be no leakage Commonly layer of good
salt Is put on the bottom OF the package, which
is then nearly filed with the butter as s0lidly
packed as may be. A muslin or linen cloth Is
then laid on top of the butter nicely smoothed
down at the side, then layer of salt Is put on
this, and the package headed; then hole is
made in one or the other heads and brine is
poured In. Sometimes the package is not cover
ed except with cloth and the salt Some prefer
to practically inclose all the butter In cloth
sack and surround 1t with brine by packing In a
package larger at one end than the other, having
it with small end down. filling with brine and
then setting package on the large end. AS the
butter settles to the bottom the brine is left at
the sides and on the top. OF course the pack
ages should be kept in a cool and even tempera-
ture.

EASILY COMPREHENDED.

They were having four-handed game
of euchre in the smoking-car, and one
of the players said to his partner, a
Misunderstanding old man:
/" I wouldn't mind risking twenty
dollar note that the first three cards
dealt me on this hand will beat any
other three cards on the boards at
poker"
"I don't know nothin' about poker,
stranger" said the Misunderstanding old
man but if I did, maybe I'd bet ye."
The game was explained to him, and
after some hesitation, he said:
Well, stranger, Pllgo you on twenty
dollars that / kin down ye."
The money was put up, and the poker
player triumphantly showed down three
aces.
"I am sorry for you, old man." he
said, "but three aces can't be beat"
" Yes, it kim" replied the harmless
looking old fellow, displaying three
hearts "a flush, as we call it, beats
three of kind. AS I said," he contin-
ued, pocketing the money, "I don't
know nothin' about poker but, from
what We have told me about it, I reckon

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK.

This park lies mostly between latitude
AZ and As and longitude 110o and
Ill 2, extending on the west into Mon
tana. 1t is So miles north and south by
55 Iailes east and west, comprising g.
SIS square miles, and is all more than
5000 feet high. Yellowstone lake 10
by Is miles in extent) has an altitude of
1873 feet. The mountain ranges that
hem in the valleys on every side rise to
the height of 10000 and 1900 feet, and
are covered with perpetual snow. Dur
ing June, July, and August the atmos-
phere is pure and very invigofating, with
scarcely any rain, and storms of any
kind are rare; but the thermometer
frequently falls as low as Is -, and there
is frost every month of the year. The
entire region was at comparatively
modern geological period the scene of
remarkable volcanic activity. The most
striking features of the park are its
geysers, hot springs, waterfalls, and
canons. In the number and magnitude
Of its hot springs and geysers it surpasses
all the rest of the world. There are
probably so geysers hat throw a column
of water to height OF from so to 200 feet.
and from 5000 to 10000 springs chiefly !
of two kinds, those depositing lime and |
those depositing silica. There is every
variety of beautiful color, and the de-
posts form around their borders the
most elaborate enumeration. The
temperature of the calcareous springs is
from 1909 to 100 that of the others
rises to 1000 or more. The principal
collections are the upper and lower
geyser basins of the Madison river and
the calcareous springs on Gardeners
river. The grand canon of the Yellow
stone, Great fails, $50 feet or more in
height, Tower falls, etc., are very re-
markable. The park is also one OF the
most interesting geographical localities
in North America, having within its
limits or in its vicinity the sources of
vast rivers flowing in various directions.
On the north side are the sources of the
Yellowstone Z; on the west those of the
principal forks of the Missouri OH the
southwest and south those of the Snake
river, flowing into the Columbia and
through it into the Pacific ocean, and
those of the Green river, branch of the
great Colorado, which empties into the
gulf of California while on the south
east side are the numerous headwaters
Of Wind river.

PRESERVING FENCE POSTS.

An English farmer writes After all that has
been advanced In favor of other compounds, it
is very doubtful for ordinary country work
whether there is anything handler, cheaper or
more effective than common coal tar for coating
fences and other wood it liz desired to protect
from the effects of the weather. Much, however,
win depend on the way in which this is used.
To cover moist wood with this substance wheth.
er 1t proceeds from the natural moisture or at
mospheric dampness is very bad policy. To in
sure anything like succe IS In the matter of dura-
bility, the wood to be operated upon must be as
dry as possible. This, Of course, Il equally true
of paint, but 1t is of tar we are now speaking.
When the wood work to be coated lie as dry as
can be, and the tar applied hot there need be
little fear that 1t will fail in its purpose The
chief difficulty lies in the matter of posts at the
surface of the soil. Many plans have been tried
to overcome the decay which almost invariably
sets In here first. Even here tar is valuable, but
according to experiments which have been made
to test the best method of applying it, 1t appears
that the most satisfactory results have been OBJ
tanned when the wood is charred. AS to the way
in which this charring should be effected, there
seems to be scope for ingenuity. One gentleman
has tried the plan of first covering the extremi.
ties of the posts, which are set in the soil. and
then burning the tar off again. This, it is alleg
ed, makes surface which will resist decay If
this Is 80, the operation is simple and is worth
trying. The charring should be carried to some
distance above the ground level, and after the
fence is erected the whole of it above ground
can be coated to make the appearance uniform.
The plan of first heating the ends of the posts
and then dipping them Ia boiling tar Is said to
answer WELL
