A FIoating SaMmill.

Along the bayous and lagoons Of
Florida grows some of the finest timber
in the South, much of it in places con-
sidered entirely inaccessible until J. L..
Maui & Son hit upon the plan of con-
structing floating sawmill. This idea
they carried into execution, and their
mammoth mill, which now lies off the
banks of Burton & Harrison's hummock,
near Palatka, is, according to the South.
erm LumJermnn, a marvel of mechanical
ingenuity. 1t has length of eighty and
breadth of forty feet, and is so solidly
built that the motion of the machinery
has no more effect upon it than if it
were built upon the solid land. Al
though it stands five feet high out of the
water.its draughtis only about afoot and
half, which permits it to be taken into
the shallowest lagoons, where timber
could not be foated. It is equipped
with the latest machinery, planer, box
header, shingle saws, and a fine forty
horse power engine and boiler. On the
hurricane deck is the cabin and Office for
the proprietor, while the cook Eouse,
where the men board, is in q corner of
the main deck. which is otherwise free
for the piling of lumber, the machinery
being ali below it. This floating mill
has so far proved eminently successful,
exceeding the expectations of the pro-
prietors in this respect, and is prol ably
the pioneer of numerous craft of the
same kind.

when standing, as all may observe from
seeing him constantly tossing his head
up and down, and one side to the other,
seeking relief from the cruel torment.
In addition to this, it soon makes hard
mouth, and whenlmoving along and espe-
cially while ascending hill, the horse
cannot stretch out his head and neck
as is necessary for him in order to use
his full strength to more easily move the
load to which he is attached. The use
of the binders is pernicious custom.
If a horse is broken to harness as he
should be without them, there never
will be any necessity of wearing them.
They are Injurious to the eyes and the
vision, and it IS as absurd to use them in
harness rs it would be under the saddle.
The horse is much more liable to shy,
lump, rear and even run, with binders,
than without them. Having had horses
with all these tricks in my possession, 1
changed the bride for one without
binders, and they soon ceased their ca:
pers; for they could then fully see all
objects on both sides IN gradually ap.
preaching them, as we'll as in front. and
thus were not troubled or scared. The
best harness-b broken horses found in
my travels abroad were in Russia, and
they wore no binders. never saw even
those of the highest spirit either shy,
jump, rear, or attempt to run. In drlv-
ing out, teach the horse to stop Instant
ly at the word whoa" especially in de-
$ ending hill.

A POtentate Who Is O Paragon.

The King of AMMAN, in the EN- ire of
China, is attended daily by number Of
women chosen from all the ranks
Thirty of them mount guard at the doors
of His Maiesty's private apartments.
Five are attached constantly to his per-
son; it is these who have charge of his
toilet; they dress him, perfume him,
pare his long nails and arrange his tur-
ban. They also attend on him at table.
The King takes three meals day. Each
comprises fifty dishes, prepared by fifty
cooks. The dishes are borne to the door
of the dining rooms by the cooks, who
hand them over to the women on duty,
for no males are permitted to enter the
royal apartments. His Majesty drinks
as a rule a peculiar kind of scented
spirit, specially distilled for him, but
occasionally, on the advice of the doc
tors, he. takes little Bordeaux wine.
The quantity of rice eaten by His
Majesty is always the same; it is measured
and weighed; but should his appetite
fall off and he be unable to consume the
prescribed amount, then the doctors are
called in to provide remedies, of which
they have to partake themselves before
the King will touch them. His Majesty,
it appears, is q hard worker, notwith-
standing his effeminacy. He rises at .
o'clock and goes to bed at s o'clock.
All the affairs of the country pass through
his hands. At regular periods he makes
q tour to his dominions to see how his
sub ;ects are getting on and to redress
their grievances, should they have any.
In short, he appears to be the paragon
of O monarch

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Packing Butter for the Store.

Packing Butter for the store.
In nine cases out of ten it has been
observed that neatly done.up roll of
butter will sell better and more readily
than an inferior article presented in an
untidy condition. Says W Fl. Lynch
in his "Scientifc Dairy Practice" ga
farmer living few miles out of the
town in which these lines are pcnned de-
termined to deliver his butter to the
local trader on a certain day each week,
and in an improved shape. He con-
structed plain box with shallow
wooden trays, just large enough to fit it
and fill it, one above the other, and yet
leaving room enough between the layers
to obviate pressure. The trays were
PLAIN boxes not divided into compart-
ments, and each was large enough to
contain a certain number of equally
sized rolls lying side by side. A loose
cover was made to fit over the box when
full. The result of this little calculation
and expenditure of few hours labor
was that the farmer got two cents per
pound more for bHtter than any of his
neighbors, and not only so, but the de-
mand for his butter became so great that
he conld not supply it. In no respect
was the quality better than that of
Others, but the tidy package did the
business for him.

Care of the Hands.

All sorts of housekeeping gloves now
come for the hands-chamois gloves for
busting, etc., rubber globes for wet
work, and even cooking gloves-so there
is no need that women should spoil their
pretty fingers. To ketp the hands soft
and white or get them so, wash them
regularly in lukewarm water, dry them
with oatmeal and then a rough towel
and occasionally add little diamond
paste, which can be procured at any
drug store. 1t is not we'll to plunge the
hands into either very cold or very hot
water. For stains caused by ink, paint
or similar substances one of the best
treatments is to put a few drops of oil
of vitriol in water and wash the hands
without soap. For any lighter stains
vaseline is excellent. ChieagI Times.

Recipes.

Blueberries with Cream-Wash the ber-
ries with liberal quantity of cold water,
throw away all imperfect fruit, add
heaping tablespoonful of granulated
sugar to each half pint of berries and a
pint of cold milk or cream. Eat with
light soda waters.
Salsify-Scrape and throw at once into
cold water, with little vinegar in it to
keep them from turning black. Cook in
boiling salted water for one hour, or un-
til tender. Drain, mash and season and
fry like parsnip fritters, or cut into inch
lengths and mix with white sauce, or dip
the pieces in fritter batter and fry in hot
fat.
Orange Cake.-One- half cup of butter,
one cup of sugar, two eggs, one-half cup
of milk, two cups of flour, two teaspoon
full of baking powder and the grated rind
of one orange. Bake in two layers.
Stir powdered sugar into the orange
juice until quite thick and spread it be-
tween the cakes when cool. Ice the top
with white icing favored with orange
fower-water or cover it with orange
quarters thickly covered with powdered
sugar.
IRIsH Moss BLANC MANGE.-One-half
cup of Irish moss, one quart of milk, one
salt spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of
vanilla. Soak the moss fifteen minutes
in cold water, pick over and wash and
put it into double boiler with the milk.
Boil until the milk thickens on cool
plate. Add the salt, strain and flavor,
and put on the ice or in cooi place to
stitfen. Serve with sugar and cream, or
with apple or grape Jelly, or put half
a peach or any candied fruit in the bot

Tomato Catsup-Tomato Sauce.

The basis of tomato catsup, or ketch.
up, Is the pulp of ripe tomatoes. Many
defer making catsup until late in the
season, when the cool nights cause the
fruit to ripen slowly, and it may be it is
gathered hurridly for fear of frost.
The late fruit does not yield so rich q
pulp as that gathered in its prime. The
fruit should have all green portions cut
out and be stewed gently until thorough
ly cooked. The pup is then to be sepa-
rated from the skins by rubbing through
a wire sieve, so fine as to retain the seeds.
The liquor thus obtained is to be evapo-
rated to thick pulp over slow fire,
and should be stirred to prevent scorch-
ing. The degree of evaporation will de-.
pend upon how thick it is desired to
have the catsup. We prefer to make it
so that it will just pour freely from the
bottle. We observe no regular rule in
favoring. Use sufficient salt. Season
with cloves, alspice and mace, bruised
and tied in cloth and boiled in the
pulp; add small quantity of powdered
cayenne. Some add the spices ground
fine directly to the pulp. A Glove of
garlic, bruised aud tied in a cloth, to be
boiled with the spices, imparts deli
cious flavor. Some evaporate the pulp
to a greater thickness than is needed
and then thin with vinegar. An excel
lent and useful tomato sauce may be
made by preparing the pulp, but adding
no spices, and putting it in. small bottles
while hot, corking securely and sealing.
If desired the sauce may be saltcd before
bottling, but this is not essential. To
add to soups, stews, sauces and made
dishes a sauce thus prepared is an excel
lent substitute for the fresh fruit. It
should be put in small bottles, contain
ing as much as will be wanted at once,
as it will not keep long after opening

Encrusted Pots and Kettles.

A culinary annoyance that is more a
neglect than anything else, is GLOWING
the outside of iron pans and kettles to
become coated with thick scales of burnt
grease and dishwater, or the boiled over
food which, at the time, could have been
readily removed. 1t is easy to keep the
outside of all such utensils as clean and
smooth as the inside, if proper care is
observed. If they become smokey, have
a cloth specially for them, and wash,
wipe and dry them each time they are
used, and all scaly outsides as we'll as in
sides will be avoided. This also applies
to the dripping pans and cake griddles.
If, however, through neglect they have
become incrusted, place them on the hot
Goals for a little time and burn them
we'll, after which it can all be scraped
off. A little securing of sand or wood
ashes facilitates the cleaning. Prairie

Feeding Cows.

A hearty COW, fresh in milk, observes
the Neao Eogyand. Farmer, and eating
dry food, will frequently drink five or
more ordinary pailfuls of water in day.
If this be taken into the system near the
free ling point it must be warmed by the
heat of the body, which heat costs the
farmer money, just as the heat from the
wood or coal we burn in our stoves costs
money. 1t was long ago discovered that
heat saved by tight walls and roofs is
cheaper than the heat produced from hay
and grain. 1t is now being learned that
wood, coal and kerosene oil is cheaper
fuel for warming water for animals than
hay and grain. One feeder estimates
that during the present winter five cents
worth of fuel used for warming the
drinking water for his COWS has returned
him $3.50 worth Of butter. Is it best to
feed cows all the corn meal and wheat
bran they will bear2 was one of the many
questions found in the question box at
the Connecticut State board meeting.
MIR. Secretary Gold replied, yes, up to
the point where the cow might be in
jured or the food wasted. He once tried
to dry off cow by increasing her al
lowance of corn meal, but found that
particular cow was milk machine,
rather than beef produ er, and the
more meal she ate the more milk she
gave. Animals can never be fed by set
rules, except such rules as the intelli-
gent, watchful attendant makes for each
animal from day to day.

Uncle Sans Farm.

There are in America over four million
farms, large and small. They cover
nearly twenty million acres of improved
land, and their total value is something
like ten billion dollars. These figures
are not, of course, very comprehensive.
They simply convey the idea of vastness
of area and equal vastness of Importance.
The estimated value of the yearly pro-
ducts of these farms is between two and
three billion dollars.
