UntimeIy Enthusiasm.

That company in the country is
a great event is we'll known. This
was fully illustrated by the ex-
perlence of certain Bostonian in
a small town last week. He was
invited to make supper at the
house of a well.to.do farmer whom
he knew, where there was a small
boy not vet beyond the high chair
stage of existence. Of course
preparations had been made to
give the visitor a good repast and
an enjoyable evening, and these
did not pass unnoticed by the small
boy. When the family and guest
we're seated OF the table the young
ster looked at the feast with
glistening eyes, then rose in his
high chair, waved his arms franti-
cally, and exclaimed: "Hullo, pies !
Hullo, cake Haven't seen you for

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
WHEAT BRAN.

There is now too much difference
between the price Of wheat and that
of wheat bran. New wheat is selling
for eighty cents bushel and bran
is going at one dollar a hundred
pounds or twenty dollars per ton.
And such bran. Not the kind that
we used to bring home behind old
"Dobbin' from the country mill in
the days of boyhoOd. That had
body and weight to twas rich in
nutriment, and of great feeding
value for the farm stock. When it
was pus into the swill barrel it
made a thick slOp that was greatly
rehshed by the porkers, and 1t
helped TO lay fat on the ribs, be-
lieYe us. But put the Western
bran into the sloptub aud note the
chat and stems and other trash
that floats on the surface, and ex-
anime a handful of the same bran
with a good glass and see what a
lot of foreign substances Of no
nutritive value are paid for by the
dairyman; not only chat aud
stems, bat garlic often, and ergot
and sand.
We believe that the complaints
general everywhere among dairy
men of so many failures in CESSATION
are clearly traceable to the presence
of the ergot for such complaints
were not frequent before the use Of
Western bran. We cannot see
why, when wheat is so plenty in
market and flour so low in price
that it is thought necessary by the
millers to manipulate the bran SO
severely by the new patent pro
cesses of rolling and regrindine
and blowing and the like, to get
out of it every possible amount OF
farinaceous substance for the houI
barrels. Better, we think, unless
flour were higher in price and
scarcer, to leave the bran richer
even though it had to be sold al
higher rates.-AmericaH Farmer.

Packing Eggs.

Packing eggs should now be
commenced, and care should be
observed to put away only fresh
ones. Eggs from hens that are not
running with male birds keep long
er than others. AS good a way as
we know of to pack away eggs ls
in common salt, placing the butt or
large end down, and keeping in
Jars or boxes in the cellar, on a
table, or something of the kind,
and not on cellar bottom. The
reason eggs should be packed large
end down Is the air bubble is in
that end, and it is the porous end
of the shell, and if thus placed the
contents hold the alr.sack in place
aud prevent its expanding, whereas
if the small end is down the fluid
naturally settles away, and the
eggs gets stale and lighter in
weight by evaporation. Practical
tests have proved this to be a fact
with us. Eggs put up in August
and September in salt, by placing
them as described-On first layer
of salt one and a-half inches deep,
close together, but not touching,
then sift salt over the layer, filling
in between and covering entirely
an inch and a.half, following each
layer the same-and these eggs are
for all purposes as fresh as any for
culinary purposes, and will bring
encouraging prices when Thanks
giving goodies are being pre-
pared, and there is scarcity at
Christmas times.

GLEANlNGS.


Celery plants may be set to adj
vantage now. The ground should
be well prepared, be mellow, and
previously we'll fertilized. The
plants should be set in trenches, at
least eight inches apart, and as
they grow they should be frequent
ly hoed clear OF weeds and the soil
kept banked up closely around
them, leaving only their tops ex-
posed. Even the white plume aud
golden dwarf are better when
frequently banked up and attended
TO. These varieties will live and
bleach themselves, but will be far
inferior in quality to the same
varieties treated with special care
and attention. The crop should be
kept in mind during the present
busy days.
The Philadelphia Record says
that after the strawberry crop has
been taken of, the success of next
year depends largely on the treat
ment gwen the vines until the
winter comes on. There are two
modes of cultivation, the single
stool and the row plan. The
former, giving the largest and best
berries, consists in the removal OF
all vines except one to a space
The strawberry prOpagates itself
by runners and seed if the run
ners be kept from roofing the vine
will make an effort to reproduce
itself from the seed in the spring,
causing more and better fruit; the
tender vines will not have lost any
vitality in throwing out runners in
the summer.
Seed to be used next season
should be saved early, says the
! PIoughmdR. To be of any advant'
age to the saver it should be saved
carefully. In the first place at
tention should he paid to the
growth of several plants, that the
best may be invariably selected fol
perpetuatiOn. AS soon as the
seeds are gathered, no matter how
pressing the needs of the hour may
be, they should be put into pack
ages that shall contain the names
of the seeds and any memoranda
that it may be essential or desir
able to know when the sowing time
comes.

STREET CAR HORSES.
From the New York Star.


"What is that white stuff in the
water" said a passenger on one of
Deacon Richardson's Atlantic
avenue, Brooklyn, cars yesterday
as the horses were stopped TO drink
out Of pals of water near the Long
Island Railroad depot.
"Thars oatmeal which we mix
with the water" said the conductor,
to whom the question was adj.
dressed.
"Oatmeal ! What has come over
Deacon Richardson I Has he joined
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals !"
"Irs not that" said the conduc-
tor. otis economy"
"Economy ~ exclaimed a pass
enger.
"Why, yes. Don't you know
that nothing sustains life better
than oatmeal and water. Soldiers
can make longer marches than
when drinking water or beer alone.
The deacons saves money by giving
his animals oatmeal and water. He
gets more work out of them and
fewer horses drop dead than on
water alone. The deacon knows
what he's about, | can tell yOu.-
| shouldn't be surprised to see him
giving his horses cold tea if he
thought it would strengthen them.
"Is it sunstroke that kills so
many horses I" said the reporter.
"Some of them die of sunstroke,
but most of them die from heart
disease. What kills them more
than anything else is the straining
when they have to start often on an
uphill grade. When the car Is
stopped every block or so, as is
often done, it is terrible on the
poor brutes. | have often seen
their veins standing out liks cords
and the horses gasping every after
start. Ladies are sometimes very
cruel without knowing it,and might
save the horses great deal by oc.

RECEIPT.

Oatmeal for Hot Weather Drinks.
Put three tablespoonful of coarse
oatmeal into three quarts of cold
water and boil it for half and hour;
while hot sweeten to taste with
brown sugar. Most people prefer
it strained. This is very good
mixed with cocoa, about half OF
each, as hot drink, or it can be
favored with cloves and lemon
peel boiled in it. If it is 10 be
drunk cold and prepared in guam
tity, half ounce of citric acid may
be put to each two gallons. Lemon
juice is preferable to the acid, but
dearer. Rice or barley drink can
be made IN the same way, using
broken rice or barley instead of
oatmeal.
Chicken 7Odst.-Cut from the
bones whatever meat can be readily
removed, and chop it almost as
fine as miuce meat. Simmer the
bones and trimmings (all skin and
grstle, which must be rejected
from the juice, for at least an hour,
and strain OIL the resulting broth.
To a cuptul Of this stock add a
cupful of milk or sweet cream, two
well.beaten eggs, and a pinch of
salt. Use little of it to moisten
the minced chicken and set that on
in a small saucepan to heat. Cut
half a dozen thick slices from a
small loaf of bread, place them In
a deep basin and pour the sauce
over them. When they have ab.
sorbed as much as they will take
up, fry quickly in a little fresh
butter. Spread each slice thinly
with the chicken. Good either hot
or cold.
Beef EsseRCe.-RemOve every
particle of fat from two pounds of
round steak cut it in pieces about
AN inch square and put it IN a glass
lar (such as is used tor canning
iruit), and screw the top on tight.
Fold thick towel or flannel cloth
aud put it in the bottom Of pre-
serving kettle or iron pot, filed
with cold water. Place the jar on
the cloth, let the water come slowly
TO a boil and boil steadily three or
four hours-longer, if convenient.
Before pouring of the essence,
shake the bottle we'll, then pour
into a bowl; then season it. 1t is
more savory when heated just be-
fore giving it to sick person. 1t
is also nice frozen. Take four
tablespoonfuls OF beat essence
without salt, four tablespOonfnls OF
rich, sweet cream, four drops of
extract of vanilla mix and freeze
in same manner as any other
cream.
