STRICTLY PURE LARD.
How Farmers Wives Can Produce Sweet
 Article for the Kitchen.

How Farmers Wives Can Produce a Sweet Article for the Kitchen.
 Pure, sweet lard is thing 10 be de-
 sired by every housewife, and yet the
 common article of m ,rchandise that
 we buy at the average grocery stores
 that fills the bill, even in plausible
 degree, furnishes the exception, rather
 than the rule. It is difficult to get it
 pure-that is, in the end to have noth-
 ing but the pure lard itself Natural
 ly, a sediment composed of minute
 particles f the flesh distributes itself through the body of the rendering,
 which always imparts more or les of
 diSagreeablG flavor to the lard and the
 offensiveness of the same to the smell is measured by the offense to pro- priety and the laws of health in the discriminations made of the fatty substances used il ob- taining the lard. A lady at Fulton. Mo-, now visiting Dallas, established reputation for marketing an article that was always exceptionally pure and much sought after and buvers were always ready. The lady. Mrs. M. E Bush, was asked tha secret by which Hhe was always enabled to pro- duce an article pure and sweet and as white almost as snow. She said: ''There is little or no secret about it, further than this: Dlring the slaugh- tering, dressing and trimming of lhe swine, l always attend, giving per sonal supervision in detail, and par ticularly the trimming from the parts wished for pork the fatty substances intended for rendering. With this am just as particular as am with my butter. for in noth- ing would Indifference 10 clear- Illness prove more unsatisfactory. h.. deed, the flavor of the lard is gov erned entirely by the care and pains taken in this particular, and the color alSo and whenever you detect an of- fensive odor either from the bread containing the lard, or the lard it. sclt just as certain are you assured that careless and indifferent hands have done their work. Pure lard has no unpleasant odor; rather the oppo- site. My rule is. before cooling a kettle, while it is yet boiling hot. to put one gallon of lye to every thirty of lard, and stir it 10 the cooling point This will destroy the most particle of substances foreign to the oil itself. consume all agencies tending 10 dis 'oloring, or offensive to the smell, and leave nothing bat the pure. snow-white article with an en- hanccd value of several cents to the pound. -Ts1as LtUe- Stock Journal.

KEEP FOWLS TAME.
Why POultry-Raisers Can Not Afford t
 Have Wild Birds,

Why Poultry -Raisers Can Not Afford to Have Wild Birds.
 Keep fowls tame. You can not af- ford to have them wild. They will not pay as well. lay as well or afford one- half the satisfaction that a tame flock would. If there is any thing that will disgust fancier it is to see lot of hens flying wildly here and there whenever a man approaches. We hate wild hens.
 All breeds can be rendered tame by proper treatment, but some breeds re- quire more care than others to pro- duce this result. Generally speaking, the larger breeds. like Ihe Brahmas. Cochins. Plymouth R ,ckS and the like. are more easily tanned than the small CT ones. like the Leghorns and Ham, burSs. We have seen very tame Leg horns and Hamburgs, however We call to mind . brown LeghOrn e ok that will approach it's owner, a wom- an, and, upon being fold to crow for dinner. would straighten up and crow. H. would lie down and roll over, also. upon being bidden to do so. We know of a flock of golden-spangled Hamburgs that will eat out of the hands of their owner without sign of fear These cases are instances 10 show what the right kind of treatment can produce. It is not uncommon 10 find Brahmas so tame that they can be picked up any where. We know of one of the lead- ing breeders of Asiatics whose Brah- mas are so tame that they act as if they expected to be caught, and liked the idea, when the owner appears.
 Fowls can be rendered tame easily The observing of very few rules is necessary:
 1. Never f1ghtcn them.
 2 Speak quietly in their presence
 2 Naver make a quick movement toward q fowl. unless it be sudden. short movement in catching one and then never miss your bird.
 The advantage of having tame fowls are many besides the general CA I'Cl lciiCtu 1G lS COI- vcnient to have them tame if you wish 10 show a particular bird 10 q GUS, omer. H. would like 10 closely examine il, and to do so he must have the birds in his hands. It is often necessary 10 catch fowls for ex- animation as to some symptoms of disease. If you have to chase them all al ound the yard in order to catch one, you eiIh 1T do not catch the fowl or you waste a great deal of precious time; there is some wear upon your clothing and . good deal upon your temper. F'wls. too. will actually keep on les food, lay more eggs. fatlen more easily, and in ev cry way prove moro profitable for being tame. If you doubt it, try it and be con- vinccd. A single seasons trial will satisfy you. and yol will never have any more wild fowls in your yards Indianapolis Sentinel.

A Parrat's PietY.

A Philadelphia family, living near the Church of St. Alphonsus, own very bright parrot. Every evening.the bells of the church ring the "Angelus," and re- gently one of the little girls of the family was taught to recite the appropriate prayer at the sound of the bells. The parrot watched her carefully, and the other evening, at the first sound of the chimes, dropped to the bottom of the cage, put down his head, and said the first few words of tIe prayer. He has kept this up ever since, and is adding other words of the prayer as the little girl teaches them to him.

A new theory of the formation Of
mountains has been offered by MIR. 7.
Mellard Reade, the wellknown Eng
fish geologist. He supposes that
the periods of great sedimentary de-
post that have preceded the birth Of
every large mountain range have
been followed by a great elevation Of
temperature, producing expansions Of
the strata, with consequent forcing up
of ridges. Laboratory experiments
with the various rocks show that heat
ing would give such results.

-Commissioner McClernand, of
Utah, is said to be intriguing to have
Commissioner Thomas removed. This
is not at all improbable, as General
McClernand belongs to that school of
scrub politicians who are ever seeking
to secure their own advancement by
the most tortuous ways, even when a
frank, open, manlier course would
better answer the purpose. While
serving under Grant, in the cam
paigns against Forts Henry and Don
elson and against Vicksburg, he con-
tinnually intrigued against his chief,
until General Grant felt compelled to
relieve him of his command and order
him to return to Springfield, Illinois.
Miss Anna II. Whitney, the
proprietor of the Chequasset Kennels,

Miss Whitney gave up her vocation
of sehool.teaching, which she had
followed for 30 years, and went to
Europe, where she secured the hes,
stock obtainable, and then started
the Lancaster Kennels. She, with
Others, has taken steps for the organi
cation of St. Bernard club in this
country. This affords another illus.
tration of the fact that American
women are coming to the front in
business enterprises.
