The New Establishnienr Almost
Ready to Besin-It Will Operate IN
Conjunction with cur Tow Hill
Company.
In q few days E. A. Bruce will begin
work in his tow bleaching establishment
and as he has contracted to take the en-
tire product of the tow mill, it will be run
continuously. Under the arrangements
made the tow mill company runs the
fax straw ace through their machinery,
after which it is transported by auto
matte carriers. into the bleaching de-
partment adjoining. The half made tow
is there subjected to q chemical process
which deprives it of all color and leaves
it as white as the fleece on Mary's lamb.
After the product is dried it is run into
into the tow making department and
put through the smashing machinery
again, after which 1T is baled for ship.
ment. The plan of operations is for the
tow mill to break the fax straw during an
| afternoon and run it into the bleaching
establishment. During the night
the product of the afternoon ie
to be bIesched and transported
back to the tow mill. The succeeding
forenoon is to be devoted to completing
and ballng the half made tow, and by
noon the machinery will be ready tc
commence operations on a fresh batch
Under this arrangement the work will
progress by day and by night, the ma.
chinery resting while the chemicals are
at work and the chemicals resting while
the machinery is at work.
The product of these combined es.
Establishments is to be shipped

use to which the flax straw OF our farm

and his appearance IN the cell in the
form of a spirit of the departed red skin.
Before bed tune came they had fastened
a ROPE to the bed clothes and another
to the CHAINS on the bedstead, and after
Sauer retired these ropes were given
divers pulls and jerks, much to the
amusement OF the jokers and the terror
of the ioked. The prisoners positively
affirm that they could hear the perspira-
ton strike the floor as 1t rolled off the
victim, who greeted the let up of the
fun and the exposure of the plot with
hearty hand shakes.

which is worthy of more than passing
notice. 1t is entitled San English Da-
kota School Dictionary or In the YER
~nscular of our Indian neighbors, "Wasi-
Gun ga Dakota Ieska Wowapi." 1t is a
dictionary of the English language with
its Sioux equivalents, compiled by Rev.
John p. Williamson, of Yankton agency.
1t came to us in sheeta to be bound, the
type setting and the press work having
been done IN the Office of the Iapi Days,
at Yankton agency,by Indian compositors
and pressmen. 1t is a creditable piece
of Typographical work to come from
such crude hands. Mr.. Willaimson's part
of the work must have given him long
years of arduous toll and study. He
takes the Santee Sioux dialect as the
foundation of the work, but gives the
dialectic changes of the Teton Sioux
and the Yankton Sioux. The dictionary
is both alituary and mechanical curl
osity. The author designs it as a text
book in the Indian schools and as a
hand book for the whites engaged
among the Indians.

numberless ANAL pains and aches. In the
presence of vigorous. exuberant vitality they
seem mere pigmies. Such persons are usually
fond of frequently dosing themselves, swal-
lowing in the course of the year enough drugs

Horses for Profit.

There is no more profitable stock to
raise than horses, always provided you
raise good ones. If mare be carefully
handled she will do nearly as much work
ana raise colt as though not bred, and it
cost much less to raise good horse than
to buy one. 1t cost no more aside from
the service of the horse to raise colt to
three years than a steer to the same age.
After the colt is 3 years old he will pay
his way and for or 5 years will sell for
twice as much-ordinarily-a the steer.
Ii farmer would keep four mares and
breed two for fall colts and two for spring
he could carry on large farm with the
mares and young horses and have horses
to sell each year. | think a tall colt is less
tax on the mare and better in many re-
spects than spring colt. A colt weaned
in spring with long pasture season be-
lore IT will be larger at year old than
one weaned in the fall and entering the
winter at 6 months old instead Of year,
as is the fall colt. A colt born IN Septem-
Der or October can be weaned in Februa-
ry, and the mare Will be in good cOndi-
ton tor spring work. Every mare raising
a colt should have a rOOmy box stall and
not he tied.
The colt should be halter.broke when a
week old and when allowed to follow the
mother be led at her side, AccustOm the
mother to work without its following her,
and when blowing near enough to the sta
bic leave 1t there and take the mare in the
middle of each day, to let it suck, or tie
it in the shade at the side of the field. A
colt thoroughly halter-broke before it is
weaned is half broken. Until your colts
are years old winter them in box stalls,
you can keep two together in a stall SXlO
feet, let them out few hours for exer-
else every pleasant day, feed very little
corn, but give all the good bright hay or
fodder they will eat, and quarts of oats
and bran day with an occasional feed of
sheaf oats and in cold weather one ear Of
corn each. Do not stint their food, but
do not try to make them fat. The pasture
for them should have pure water, shade,
and a variety of grasses, and should not
be OverstOcked. L think majority of the
colts in the corn belt are permanently in
jured by overlooking with corn, and many
of them are allowed to stand in the
stable for weeks at time without eXer-
cise.-Walde f. Brown, in New York Tri-
buue.

How Eggs are Preserved.

LINED eggs are a standard article of
merchandise during the winter season.
Hens cannot be induced to lay eggs nu-
merously in winter. Cold arrests their
productive powers, and no amount OF
forcing will enable them to overcome
their natural dissemination for the nest in
the depth of winter to any large extent.
The profits of the egg business then fall
to those who have had the foresight to
purchase eggs in the summer. when they
are cheap, and keep them over until win
ter, and sell them when they are very
dear. They are preserved during this in
terval by a process known as Ginning"
and lined eggs are regularly quoted in
the markets at but 2 or cents a dozen be-
low the price Of fresh laid eggs. The
lining process is very simple, it is as fol-
lows: Fresh stone lime is Stacked and
diluted with water to a thin, whitish
liquid. This lime-water is put into watts
made of brick in a cool place, and the
lime settles down to the bottom and
leaves a clear solution on the top. The
eggs, taken when perfectly fresh, are put
into wire gauZe scoops and are let care
fully down into the bottom of the watts
and turned out. This is continued until
the watts are filled. A sheet of cotton
cloth is then spread over the watts, resting
upon the eggs, and this is covered with
the thick semi-liquid lime paste which
settles from the lime solution. This is
kept covered with water, as evaporation
reduces the LIQUID in the vat. In this way
the eggs are preserved in the best man.
ner for several months. When the eggs
are to be disposed OF, the cover is re-
moved and the eggs are gathered up care
fully with the scoop, and lifted into bas-
ket or crate set over sink CT large tub on
two cross-pieces. When the receptacle
istlled water is poured on the eggs free
ly, and all traces or lime are washed
away. The eggs are then left to drain
and dry, they are ready to be packed
for shipment. The same kind OF process
may be made use of, in q small way, to
preserve eggs for domestic use. There
are several notifications OF the process
made by adding salt, cream Of tartar,
saltpetre, boraX and other substances,
but these do not add to the efficacy OF the
lime, which really preserves the eggs by
sealing the pores Of tue shell by de-
post OF carbonate of lime, and so pre-
venting a decay.

Rlackherrv Wine

AS this popular wild fruit is now ap-
dearing in great abundance in the mar
ket, here is good receipt for turning the
surplus into wine;
"Place In an earthen or tin vessel any
given quantity of ripe berries. Pour over
them boiling water till barely covered ;
let stand over night. Next day strain
through thick yellow homespun. To
every gallon OF juice add two pounds of
sugar; stir we'll. Fill your demijohE to
oVerhowlng,so that as the liquid terments
1t Will throw off all scum and sediments.
Have ready in another vessel extra juice,
which must be used to refill the demiJohn
daily. At the end of six or eight weeks all
fermentation has ceased. Strain through
nannel; add to each gallon two table
spooniuls Of pounded rock candy. Bottle
for use; always cork tight"
Or they may be fermented without any
water and wine made Of the pure Juice.

Peach Borers,

Many farmers think they would be hap
Nv if they had peach orchards which bore
regularly and abundantly. And yet they
can have such orchards if they are will
ing to take the little trouble necessary. 1t
is.universally conceded, we believe, that
the only great obstacle in the way is the
peach bOrer Algeria eXitiosa j. a slender,
dark-blue moth insect which deposits its
eggs around the collar of the peach tree
IN spring and autumn, from which the
borers or grubs are Matched and subsst
upon the inner bark and sap wood of the
tree. AS they grow larger they bore
deeper into the wood and have sometimes
to be destroyed by probing with wire;
but generally they can be found just un-
der the outer bark where they remain, en-
larging their homestead areas of destruc-
ton until they are half an inch or more
in length. Exuding gum from the tree
will always show their locality near the
surface of the ground above and below.
This after they have attained consid era.
Bile size, but sought for earlier they Will
be found small maggOt-looking worms I'M
derneath the little clumps of gum brought
out by the parent moth for their special
accommodation. At this stage there is no
trouble about removing them without cut
ting or probing, and this fact shows that
alittle vigilance and industry in the or
chard at the right season will effectually
remove this greatest, we may say, only
obstacle to the raising of line peach crops
on every farm.
What farmer cannot find time or recre-
alton from other work for this small
amount of labor in the orchard? One or
two examinations of the trees each week
during warm weather will be sufficient:
but the examination ought to be thor
Ough. The earth should be removed from
the collars of the tree ana from any large
roots near the surface, and be restored af-
ter the bOrers are destroyed. Remember
ing that the eggs OF the borers will be de-
posted Invariably at the surface, let this
surface be kept clearly above all masses
of roots that may increase the labor of re-
moving them.
A healthy, thrifty peach tree, as it must
be in good soil and free of borers, will
have only to encounter late frost to fail
of a crop of fruit, and this will rarely
happen in this climate. We often hear
that the peaches are "all killed by the
FROST" but we also notice that the market
reutes the statement in Gu time. If we
can raise a small crop in spite of neglect,
climate or insect disasters, we can raise
large crop when we make up our minds to
