THE EVER-PRESENT FRAUD.

The number of rOgues who seek to live
by fleeing the honest producing public
is legion, and a very large proportion of
their schemes are aimed at the farmer
To escape the greater part of them, how
ever, that individual has only to adopt "A
square, straightforward and prudent
course. 1t is rarely indeed that ordinary
business sagacity will not suffice to de-
feat the most consummate frauds. Even
the wiseSt farmers, however. have been
known to be victimized in this way.
Very many of the traps designed for this
class of men are set through the advertis-
ing columns of the press, and those not
conversant with the subject can have no
idea of the degree of vigilance required
to keep widely circulated journals free
from these things. Every kind of ingen-
uity is resorted to in order to blind the
suspicious publisher, and the most rascal
ly schemes are often presented with
plausible backing. Constant care will
usually circumvent the scoundrels, yet
they manage once in while to elude the
argus eyes of the most wary. y case in
point was the late American Fruit Grow
ers' association scheme, to which we have
alluded before, seemingly one of the most
innocent bits of oti-hand generosity
which could be devised. Several of our
contemporaries whose detestation of
crookedness cannot be questioned, boost
ed the fraud most energetically and limo
Gently, and one after another are now
kicking themselves for their credulty.
No publisher can afford to boast,
though, over his successful avoidance of
these snares; for perhaps none can say
that they have not at some time or other
been deceived into accepting fraudulent
advertisements, or into lending the use
of their columns for the circulation of
what subsequently, proved to be an oily
bait. Frauds are carried in the advertis-
ing columns of some of our ostensibly
decent exchanges which are too palpable
to afford the publisher any excuse what
ever for giving them countenance; but
there are other swindles, not so pro-
nOunced in their character, or better con-
cealed, which somehow manage to escape
the most critical efforts at detection.
Where IA constant and conscientious effort
is made to keep clear of these things,
however, ii Is seldom that they appear.
The press can be kept measurably clean
in this regard where it is matter of CON
science so exclude everything of a doubt

SHEEP VS., COWS.

Ordinarily, sheep are considered more
|'otitable than cows. Much depends up
circumstances, however, as to which
| i'll pay the better. Often pastures are
tier adapted to sheep than to grazing
cows. Cows in dairy should not be
objected to climb hills and pick up their
Wing among the rocks. Such pastures
Re better adapted to sheep. The sheep

feling the lower grounds in the daytime
nd going to the cooler. higher retreats
pom the hills in the night.
The questions as to the prOtitableness
| sheep is changed somewhat since the
lltrcme low price of wool has come
bout. One COW will eat about the same
eight sheep, though in rocky pastures
be eight sheep would get a good living

very different substance from the re-

On the contrary, the crude oil may be

Tomatoes are especially cheap just now
and may be canned at little trouble and
expense. A large or small quantity may
be done at a time, and they should be put
in glass jars in preference to those of tin,
which are apt to iniure the flavor. Very
ripe tomatoes are the best for the pur-
pose. They are first put into a large pan
and covered with boiling water. This
looscns the skin, which is easily removed,
and the tomatoes are then put into the
preserving kettle, set over a moderate
fire without the addition of water or any
seasoning and brought to Il boil. After
boiling slowly one hour they are put i'll
to the jars and sealed tightly. They will
keep two or three years in this way. The
jars should be filled to the brim to pre-
vent air from getting in.
Delicate china will keep much longer
if subjected to the following treatment.
Put the articles in vessel of cold milk
and place on the back of the stove. Let
the milk heat very slowly, and after one
then be removed and permitted to get
cold before the articles are taken out.
China slightly cracked is made stronger
by this method.
Peaches apt to spoil before they can be
used should be pared and put into a
saucepan with little water and sugar.
They make nice sauce for tea or lunch
