Frying Food.

Grease OF every description is capa-
bic OF being heated to a very much
higher temperature than water; in fact,
1t can be made almost three times as
not as boiling water. When fat is at
It's boiling point it is so hot that any
article OF food brought in contact with
1t Is actually burned, and this is pre-
clsely the reason why, for purposes OF
frying, fat should always be boiling
hot. For any article of food, a dough-
nut, tor example, dipped into boiling
tat, IS immediately covered all over
by a thin crust of burned dough,
which prevents the fat from penetrat
ing further IN and enables the rest OF
the doughnut to beeXposed to a great
er degree ofheat than can De applied to
1t 10y any other process, without COM
ing IN contact with the fat, and the
natural chemical processes 20 on inside
with greater degree OF perfection than
can be obtained by any other method
Perfect trying Is the perfection of cook
ing, but so soon as the fat is not sui
tclently hot to create the burned
Crusts around the article fried, the fat
penetrates 1t and absolutely prevents
cooking from taking place at all. II
the lat IS not boiling, bubblingh hot, the
process that takes place is not cook
nag, but simply drenching thefood with
tepld fat and rendering it totally indi-
gestlble. 1t makes no difference how
hot the tat is afterward, the mischief
IS done the moment it penetrates the
inside
All perfectly fried food has thin,
crisp, brown outside crust (which has
IN itself a relishing taste) and is per-
fectly free from suspicion OF fat inside,
except what was Intentionally put
there by the cook. All housek eepers
know that TO fry well their fat should
be not. But they do not attend to it
as scrupulously as they would if they
understood the true philosophy OF it.

Never Sign a PAPER for "A Stranger

The swindling operations of many
sharpers would be at IN end iffarmers
would strictly follow this advice
The fact that a stranger is anxious to
get your signature should make YOU
suspicious of him. You can lose moth
ing by letting him alone. This warn
ing has been so repeatedly given and
the methods of swindling so frequent
ly shown up, that it Is surprising that
they can still be successfully worked,
but We almost every day hear of new
victims. A farmer in Knox County,
Ind, signed statement that he owned
so many acres OF land that was worth
so much per acre. The paper after
ward turned up as an order for $4OO
worth OF machinery, which had been
put above the writing that was on the
sheet when it was signed. In this case
there was a more satisfactory ending
than is usual in such cases. When
the order was presented to him by an
innocent third party" he first got
the paper into his own possession
and then drove the fraud from his
premises with cooked revolver.

Wilkes Booths Widow,

From Boston Special.
Several weeks ago an item appeared
in the Herald relative to some person
in Birmingham, Ala, who had write
book, in which heattempted to show
that John Wilkes Booth. the assassin
of President Lincoln, was still alire
1t is not generally known that Booth,
at the time of his death, left widow
and two children, yet such appears to
be the fact. A gentlemen in this city,
who is well acquainted with the widow
OF Booth, recently addressed her a let
ter, inciosing the Herald paragraph,
and suggesting that anything She
might write in relation to it might
prove interesting to the public. Sub
sequently the gentleman received a re
ply from the widow, in which she
makes the following statement: can
item in the Boston Herald has Just
come to my notice OF some
man unknown in Birmingham,
Ala, who has a desire to resur-
rect John Wilkes Booth, dead.

amined his body before it was laid in
it's final resting place. He carried
marks upon his body known only to
MS IcilIIlly anu IlIlIndI6 lIltuIS, anu
these marks were identified by his
family. We all know that the last act
OF his life was wrong: we also know
that we should not Judge. We know
not the why or wherefore, but it is my
opinion that those OF us VINO live long
enough viii learn that, although it was
John Wilkes Booths hand that struck
the fatal blow that ended good mans
life, yet it was those in high authority
who were the head of a diabOlical
conspiracy (Andrew Johnson, leader
the result OF which stepped several
families in the deepest of woe and left
a nation to mourn. Although not
generally known, j. w. Booth left a
family, a wife and two children-a
daughter and a sOn-nOW grown to

of one OF their number that the public
will show some little charity, and

all things right. Let the dead rest for

Cattle Shows

Father OldtlmeS went to the cattle
show last fall with a statement of his
crops and a sample, aud, having a
good article and a fair yield, expected
to take the premium. But he was as
tonished when he found Farmer Go
ahead had a crop superior to his in
quality and yield, and produced by
less labor and cost. He demanded
the reason; 'for," says be "my land is
as good as yours, and ] think | work
as hard as you do" "Why." said
Goahead, 81 use some agricultural
machines to assist me in my work
that you have not got. They do the
work quicker and better, and enable
one to do it at the right season with
less labor" "Well," says Oldtimes,
81 must have some of these machines,
too; where did you first see them ?''
"Here at the cattle-shoW, and. liking
their looks, bought them, and have
more than paid for them out OF the
first crop"
Thus cattle-shows tend to improve
ment IN more ways than one; they not
only stimulate one to raise fine ami
mails and crops, but they make you
acquainted with the means OF doing so
IN an easier, quicker and more
economical manner. Let each one
strive to raise the best, and he will be
| surprised to find how much geater his
income is than it was when he let ami
mails and crops raise themselves. Al
ways raise the best; keep the best ami
mails to breed from and the best seed
to SOW. 1t is folly to expect poor seed
to produce good crops | have been
surprised to hear some farmers say
that shrunken seed is as good for seed
as sound, plump grain. Such is not
the case, it cannot be. God SAYS. Gas
ye SOW, so shall We reap" and it is an
! established law in nature that "like
begets like" | am aware that it some
times happens that a good crop will
come from poor seed, season and 9th
er things being propitious. But it
rarely or never happens when you SOW
good seed, other things being equal,
that you do not raise a good crop.
Never raise scrubs when you can raise
blooded stock.

Another Beet Sugar Scheme.

+. Meeker, who is endeavoring to
introduce the manufacture of beet
sugar in Washington Territory, recent
ly made the following statement on
the subject to the representative of
Seattle paper: you, of course, are
aware that a joint stock company has
been formed for the purpose of manu-
featuring sugar from beets in this
country, and that articles of incorpora-
ton of the Valley Sugar Company
have been filed. At meeting OF the
trustees | was chosen manager of the
company, and instructed to canvass
among the farmers and contract for
5000 tons of beets per aalnum for
five years, the price fixed on being
$3.50 per ton. Already 5000 tons
per annum have been promised.
Measures have already been taken to
secure a site for q factory opposite
Avoids place, on White River, so that
freight can be taken to and from the
factory either by the river route or by
rail. The size OF the works contem-
plated Is sufficient to turn out 40
600 pounds of sugar per day, and the
furnaces will consume fully 10000
tons OF coal per annum. | recently
visited Germany for the purpose OF
investigating the beet-sugar industry
there, and TO ascertain by a compare
son ii it would be practical to inaugu-
rate the industry on Puget Sound. |
found that sugar was there being pro
duced from beets as cheaply as it is in
any OF the cane-sugarp producing regions
III the world. From years of study
and research and a large outlay OF
money in travelling and investigating
the subject, | am convinced that we
can manufacture sugar here as cheaply
as they do in Germany, and conse-
quently can compete with any sugar.

What Would the World Do

woman, so the question is gratuitous. 1t

There Is said to be a tradition that
the first man who goes into a pawn
shop OF a Monday morning is never
permitted to leave without buying
what he wants. Pawnbrokers have a
superstition that if they don't sell to
the first customer who comes in on
Monday they will have bad luck all
the week. And this has become a rule
with people who patro1ize pawnshops.
