VIEWS DE MARINER MILLER

REPORTER called on Warner Miller al his home in Herk mer. The first q lestion asked was what in his opinion WAS the chief cause of Harrison's cleo tiop. Mir. Miller srid: "The tariff wes the main question. That IS the idea on which the republican party won' al though the soldier vote helped largely But the tariff was the main issue ana that is settled for long time to come. The vote indicates that the country IS ID fayar of protective tariff. Business can now go on with stability, and business men may feel that things are not to be changed every time the wind changes.
 Twill the party increase or reduce the tariff, OF leave 1t as itis" 'The repuo- Iiosn party has revised the tariff from time to time as necessity demanded, and will continue to do so, but on the basls of protection to American labor and American industries. It will pass bill on the basis for protection to America. and not for protecting foreign manufac- turers and lsborers."
 When asked about the surplus MT. Miller said: "The surplus now on hand will be used in paying of the national debt, buying bonds and csncelllng them That is just what the republican party always did with the surplus. What will be done with the income is another ques- tion and depends CD what the income is. If 1t is found to be loo large 1t can be re- duoed by reducing the internal revenue and by reducing the tariff on articles we cannot produce in this country or of which We cannot produce enough, such as sugar. It was not long since the debi Of the nation WAS so large thsi the peo- le wonderd now it was ever to be paid and some foreign fnan Siers thought it would not be paid.

Three Good Rcceipts.

For fifty pounds choprc6 pork, fat
and lean combined, add one pound
two ounces best salt, four ounces each
black pepper and pulverized sage, two
ounces saltpctre dissolved in q gill of
boiling water. Mix until thoroughly
incorporated; then pack tightly into
narrow cloth sacks and hang in cool
place. If not all consumed during
cold weather, it will keep until late in
the spring. As many persons do not
like high-seasoned food, and if made
only for present use, / should advise
using only three ounces each of pepper
and sage for the above amount of
meat, the other proportions of season.
ing being correct.
In rendering lard for family use, we
usually keep the lard from the in
testines by itself and use it during the
winter. For long keeping, we cut the
leaf into small sections and place it
over a slow fire stirring it often from
the bottom lest it scorch on the kettle
Gas we use no water), and cook it slow
~ until the scraps become slightly
crisp, when we remove the kettle from
the stove, and let stand until cool
enough to handle safely. We then
strain directly into wcll-cleansed stone
jars kept for the purpose, and, when
cold, cover and convey them to the
cellar. Lard rendered in this way
will be pure and white, and keep per-
fectly sweet for an indefinite length of
time.
! add reliable receipt for curing
hams: To each 100 pounds of hams.
take s pounds best coarse salt, 2
ounces saltpetre. 2 pounds brown
sugar, and 4 gallons water. Slightly
rub the hams with fine salt, and pack
firmly into the barrel. Mix the above
after the hams have lain two days,
and pour over them; it Will just cover
them. Let the hams remain in the
brine six weeks. and they are just right
for smoking. We have used the above
receipt for many years, and know
whereof we write Country GcHticnan.

Not So Very Dumb.

One of Someryille'S most charitable
ladies was sitting in her library one
day this week when the door-bell rang,
and the servant brought in n scrap of
paper on which was written: Please
give a poor woman something to eat.
/ am dune.
"Shall give her somc:hing?n asked
the girl.
"Of course" was the reply. Il
never want anybody to go away from
my door hungry, and poor dumb
woman least of ALL"
The pantry was visited and guam
tity OF bread and butter, cake and
cookies was put up together and taken
to the door by the lady herself. The
mcndicant stood on the steps with n
big basket on her arm. She took the
food that was offered her and put il in
the basket which, when the cover was
lifted was seen te be filled almost To
the brim with cakes, pies, sandwiches
and other eatables. To say that the
charitable doner was surprised Mt this
discovery is TO put it mildly but the
next instant she was surprised still
more, for the dune woman as she
walked off said sweetly:

am of the opinion that there is more
money made by lighter feeding and
turning of cattle in June than in
any other way. Let the grass do somo
of the fattening. Feed, after Dec.
up to Feb. ], two bushels of ears to ten
steers; after Feb. feed three bushels
the rest of the winter, and we should
keep up the grain for two weeks after
we have turned out to grass. BY June
90 they will be in good shape. A drove
of shoats should follow our cattle if
fed on corn in the ear. so that nothing
may be lost. In regard to the amount
of hay or fodder. | am not prepared
to say; my plan is TO feed all the cat
tie and sheep will eat. If we are win
tcring calves feed one pint of shelled
corn and handful of oil meal once n
day, and they will thrive and do well.
Rowen, or fine hay should be part of
their daily rations. All the cattle
should be stabbed so that each one can
get his share of the food. 1t is cx-
pectcd that they can have water each
day and are salted each week. Keep the
horses away from cattle; they are
liable to get hooked and they will
chase and kick the steers. Keep each
kind Of stock separate

Alpine AyalaEchcs.

We were now arrived in the country
of these ice seas, writes II New York
Times correspondent from Poutresima.
As far rs my vision extended there was
nothing in sight but ice and snow, and
the snow was exceedingly white, as |
assure You. The driven snow YOU
have in towns and plains is n descided
brown compared with the dazzling
snow we saw up there ut the tops Of
Swiss mountains. Forever and forever
this virgin gown lies on all the peaks,
rs it also covers the lower valleys in
winter. 1t has the soft look of doves
breast, it rests on rocks a thing Of
beauty, and often it is dangerous. 1t
falls in soft, pure flakes, clings to all
the projections, covers rocks with
charming traceries. and spreads itself
like n sheet of white satin over the up-
per wales. But the touch of passing
eagles wing, the light weight of a
chamois, or the careful step of an ex-
pert climber will detatch it from it's
crest and send it down. Then it goes
sliding, rumbling along, breaking and
reforming rs it falls, ever increasing
in volume aud velocity, and, pursuing
its way, becomes Il devastating, terri

of cold, dry. powdery snow only. and
they are often far more powerful than

unreliable. So they have left it to their
more enterprising city and village
brethren to take the cream of the
business and reap the gilt-edge profits
from the new breeds of high-priced
fowls.
Their adherence to the belief that the
"old hardy dunghills" were safer in
vestments than the new-fangled
varieties has been another hindrance
to their progress.
Neglect 10 feed regularly, leaving
the fowls to roost in apple trees or on
the wood-pile over night, failure to
keep fresh supply of water on hand
at all times, and adhcrance to the
"dunghill" or mongrel varieties, are
not circumstances favorable to success
full poultry-keeping.
To succeed with poultry on the farm,
as in all other places, it is necessary
first to erect comfortable quarters;
second, to select sound birds of pure
stain adapted TO your wants, climate,
and surroundings; third, to give them
the care ana attention regularly which
they deserve, even if the plow stops n
moment.
With diligence. punctuality, and
enterprise rs watchwords, no one need
fail in the poultry business.

Profitable Poultry.

That the hen was specially designed
for the farmer has always been a pet
theory of mine, says a writer in the
New York Examiner. and every in
telligcnt poultry man knows that there
is an abundance ofcyidcnce TO substan-
tiate this belief.
When we consider that almost every
product Of the farm is keenly relshed
by the fowls; that on the farm they can
obtain greater and more wholesome
variety Of food than in any other place,
and that the barnyard and the broad
fields, aifording ample opportunities
for exercise and insect hunting, are
sources of inestimable pleasure and
profit to the feathercd stock, we can
not fail TO see how well the farm is
adapted to the wants of the fowl.
Still, among the few farmers who
keep poultry, there is a comparatively
small number who 20 into the business
to any extent, and It'll only in exception
al cases that they meet with more than
ordinary success.
There are many reasons to which
may be attributed the failure of farm
ers to succeed with poultry in the past.
One of the principle ones is their abb
horrence of anything new. do not
wish to imply that poultry-kceping is
something "newn by this statement,
but that going into the business on a
large scale is of recent date. Many
farmers think that il business isn't

Some News About brushes,

Most brushes are made by machin-
cry, though the handmade article is
said to be the best.
Painting brushes are made of the
hair of camels, badgers, and goats and
consist of but one "tuft."
The bristles Of coarse brushes are
fastened to the back by wire made of
copper and tin, the back containing
holes for the purpose.
Iooth-brushcS are not made much in
this country, the business being con-
fined to France. There the girls get
cents for drawing the briStles through
1000 holes.
Brushes made for toilet use should
not be permitted to remain wet long.
Standing them up makes them dry
quickly and the water should always
be shaken out on getting through with
them.
