MAKING VINEGAR.

How to Produce a Good Article in Com
paratively Small Quantities.
Where families have no cider mills
and but few apples they may easily
make their own vinegar by MASKING
apples in a tub with a FOUNDER. The
pomace should then be put into a half
barrel with holes in the bottom, and
be placed over another tub as a re-
ceiver. A follower can be placed on
the pomace and be pressed down by a
lever or stationary weights. The
juice should be kept in a keg, bung
open, and in a warm place until the
vinegar is made. By frequently re-
plenishing as it is drawn out, any
farmers family can easily keep up
their stock. A few apples mashed and
put in a stone jar, covered with water
and the juice of some soured fruits
and berries, can be used for this pur-
pose. Vinegar will stand quite low
temperature, but it is better not to
allow it to freeze.
Vinegar from other substances is
sometimes made. Wine vinegar is
from soured wines and the juice of
grapes. Wine vinegars are extensive

HOME AND FARM.

Three rules for improving dairy

and most promising calves, study and
practice the best methods of feeding
and keeping stock, secure the best
blooded stock possible.
1t is an easy matter to have a
small, steady income to meet the little
outgoes. The most prosperous farm
ers are those who rarely go to town
without package of butter, basket
of eggs, some poultry, fruit or vege-
tables to help pay the bills.
"A farmer at Santa Clara, CAL,
bored an artesian well some four hum
dred feet deep, and found the soil
black ard just as rich at that depth as
at the surface, and when raked down
and sown with cucumber and other
seed. it grew them just as well as that
at the surface.

While the work can be done before
the ground freezes, a large supply of
dry dirt should be slowed for winter
use. 1t is an excellent absorbent and
deodorizer, and is cheap. On the stable
floors, in the pig pens, and on damp
places occupied by stock, it answers in
place of more expensive materials.
Lima Beans for Winter Use: Boil
the beans ten minutes, strain and put
them in glass fruit jars. Make a brine
strong enough to bear up an egg and
cover the beans with it; seal up tightly
and they will keep all winter. When
needed for use they will have to be
soaked several hours to draw out the
salt.-Rurat Neao Yorker.
Oyster Broth: To one cupful of
oyster liquor add one cupful of cream.
Rub up a teaspoonful OF cornstarch
with little cold milk, add it, and let
the mixture boil for few moments
until it thickens. A few grains of red
pepper improves it. If the oyster liquor
is too salt put in less and supply the

that it roots deeply and gets a large

for other crops. A crop of clover will

WHAT KANSAS NEEDS

Kansas needs manufactures. It has
become aximatic among statisticians
that the greatest possible prosperity is
reached by that commonwealth whose
workers are harmoniously divided so
that of every one hundred men, forty
shall be engaged in manufactures,
mining and mechanic arts; thirty shall
be farmers; ten shall be in trade and
transportation, and the remaining
twenty in domestic and professional
service. OF the last two classes
named, Kansas has her full quota, but
she has double her quotum of agri-
culturalists, and consequently less
than half of the number allowed by
the statistician to the class first named.
In the wake of considerable manu-
featuring industry comes prosperity to
the adjacent farmers in the increased
prices of farm products, and by an en-
larged home market of the nom
agricultural consumers.
With these circumstances comes an
increased rate Of production through,
and by means of, the stimulus to aeri-
cultural thought and practice caused
by the pressure of population upon the
source of food supply-agriculture. And
the proportionately reduced numbers
of farmers in manufacturing communi-
ties adds third of the facts which are
usually accepted as comprehending all
the advantages which can acrue to the
farmer who may be able to avail him
self of them.
Purely agricultural commonwealth
are always both financially and men
tally poor. So, too, in purely agricul-
tural neighborhoods, mental poverty
must follow, in some degree, the check

tudes by the circumstances which COM

this mean that quadrangular boys

HOW IT WAS DONE IN LINCOLN,
NRRRARKA

Our readers have undoubtedly no
ticed in the dispatches, during the
past few months great many Lincoln,
Neb., dates, referring to freight, ETC.,
and that finally that city secured Mis-
souri, river rates, and as a consequence
Lincoln has become a good deal OF a
iobbing point, selling more goods in
one month than Topeka does in a year.
These facts led US to make some in
quires as to how this was done. We
applied to railroad man, who gave us
this solution of the matter:
The board of trade of that city Sc
cured the services of wide-awake,
competent man, and put him at the
head of freight bureau, and gave
him salary of 5000 a year. This
agent went to work to get reduced
rates for Lincoln merchants. He ap-
piled to all the railroads for such rates.
The uniform answer was that the in
terstate law would not allow this to be
! done.
The agent then gave out word to the
merchants of Lincoln to give all OF
their freight to one road for time,
This was done and this one road was
crowded with business and the other
roads were doing nothing.
This state of affairs brought the
traffic managers of the other roads II
Lincoln very soon. They went AROUND
among their old customers and wanted
to know why they were not as usua
shipping portion of their goods owe
their lines. The universal answer was
I'VE don't know, you must see tn
agent of our freight bureau"
The railroad men then went to thi
agent and in answer to the inquiry
"Why do your merchants do all thei
shipping on one road?' his answer was

edged that he knew the merchant
