A New Metnod of BAKING CLAIMS

The travel to the islands yesterday was
not very large, but notwithstanding the
clouds and occasional light rain the day
there was not so disagreeable as might have
been had the weather been colder On the ar
rival at Long Island of the o'clock boat
from the city, Mr.. Ponce opened one of his
famous clam bakes, which was served in a
first-class manner to a company that was
more than pleased with the dinner. Mr..
Ponce has a new and original method of
baking CLANS which enables him to prepare
bake with less labor and at shorter notice
than it is possible to do by the old way 1t
consists of long brick foundation which is
covered with soapstone. Brick walls divide
the enclosure into fire places large enough to
hold four feet wood. Rockwell is placed
upon the soapstone and the clans, Holsters.
etc. upon rtiiat sffd' G iilleesse covered Win i
rockwell and canvas in the usual way. One
or more fires are built in the fire places under
the soapstone, according to the size of the bake
and one man is able by this arrangement to
handle bake that would require the atten-
tion of three men by the old method.

Bro. Polk and brethren of the Farm

pointed to write, I will say to you, if
we would have the day grow brighter,
our burden lighter, prosperity and
happiness to more abound, let us move
forward in n sunbroken phalanx,
without faltering, being true to our
obligations, true to our country and to
God, for if we prove treacherous to
these we cannot expect success. But
if true, our condition will soon be
greatly improved, financially, morally,
and r%eligiously. Some true men have
been unfortunate; let us help them.
Others have proved treacherous; let
us not trust them; for one who will
not pay his just debts is of nc use in
State or church. There is great COM
plant; l want to do, but am not able.
Let us not count chickens before they
hatch, in calculating beyond our in.
come, for God does not propose to be
responsible for our blunders. His
arrangements are all right. Let our
conclusions and determinations be cor
rect and true, for Goodness is profit
able for all things. Having the
promise of the life that now is, and of
that which is to come, let us therefore
make haste to do our duty with great
caution, and prosperity, success and
happiness shall be to US, and God shall
be honored as we'll as humanity blessed.
