A ranchman'sG life is certainly n very pleas
ant one, albeit generally varied with plenty
of hardship and anxiety. Although occa-
sionally he passes days of severe toil-for
example, if he goes on the round up he works
MS hard as any of his men-yct he no longer
has to undergo the monotonous drudgery at
tendant upon the tasks of the cowboy or of
the apprentice in the business. His fare is
simple: but, if lie chooses, it is good enough.
Many ranches are provided with nothing ut
all but salt pork, canned goods, and bread;
indeed, it is a curious fact that in travelling
through this COW country it is often impos-
sible to get any milk or butter; but this is
Only because the owners or managers arc too
lazy to take enough trouble to insure their
own comfort. We ourselves always keep up
two or three COWS, choosing such us are nat
urally tame, and so we invariably have plenty
of milk and, when there is time for churning,
q good deal of butter.
We also keep hens, which, III spite of the
damaging inroads of hawks, bob cats and
foxes, supply us with eggs, and in time of
need, when our rifles have failed to keep us in
game, with stewed, roast or fried chicken,
also. From our garden we get potatoes, aud
unless drought, frost or grasshoppers inter
ferc (which they do about every second Year,
other vegetables as well. For fresh meat we
depend chiefly upon our proves as hunters.

Processes of Using Up the slnbs-Girls
"Edging'' Shingles Saving Lath.
We now had seen the logs made into lum.

cesses of using up the slabs. As they came
rollers, Il small, powerful circular saw was
drawn through them, cutting them into
lengths for lath; they were then fed through
Il tiny gang of saws by boys, and the laths
We're made. Upon another similar roadway,
logs squared on all sides were travelling
slowly; these were sawed into "shingle
blocks in much the same way that the lath
blocks We're cut. The shingle blocks were
laid on n anne which held two at a time, adj
justed to the action of a circular saw be-
meath, which dropped the shingles incessantly
to the hands below,
Going down, we came upon four girls
standing before the cataract of shingles,
''edging" them. They worked seemingly as
fast as they could, and without looking up.

Growing and Drying Nutmegs.

A writer who has explored New
Guinea describes the nutmeg region.
Upon a fine piece of table land he
came upon three houses erected in the
very heart of the forest. These were
used by the natives for drying the nut
megs. 'sThe country was everywhere
magnificent, and the aroma of the
spice-laden air delicious. Nutmeg and
other equally valuable trees were
everywhere growing in great profusion.
The fruit of the nutmeg in appearance
resembles a pear, and when ripe opens
and displays the nut, covered with a.
beautiful red coating of mace. The
nuts are then picked and taken to the
houses, where they are husked and
placed on shelves. They are then
partly roasted over a slow fire until all
the moistureis extracted, after which
they are cooled and sent to market. -

DRESSING POULTRY.

How to Prepare q Fowl for Market In q
Very Short Time.
TO dress fowl with the least trouble,
hang it up by the feet so that it will
drop convenient height, and attach a
wire hook to the under beak of the
fowl, to which hang halfa brick. Sever
the jugalar vein with sharp knife.
and proceed to pick, holding the wings
with one hand while you pick with the
other. Work quickly. Get most of
the feathers off the breast side with
three Or four hand pulls, and change
the wings to the other hand held
across the breast of the fowl, and with
few pulls get most of the feathers off
the back. Grasp one wing at a time,
and pull out the long feathers at one
stroke. Then finish up the picking en-
tirely before the fowl is taken down.
When done, chop off the head, take a
sharp knife and cut through the skin
around the vent, being careful not to
sever the intestine. Pull gently, and
as the intestine comes out insert the
forefnger and bring out the intestines
rapidly, but do not break them. Get
them out of the gizzard, and break off
there by the thumb and forefinger, and
your fowl is ready for market. If you
wish to make ready to cook, the hole
must be slightly enlarged and the giz-
card pulled out, cut open and the inner
lining removed, with all gravel, food,
etc. A slit must be made in the breast
and the crop removed, which should be
empty when the fowl is killed. Some
people remove the lungs. It is not
necessary. The heart should be re-
moved and washed, as some clotted
blood is usually around it. The opera

be done by an expert sometimes in

The best time to apply manure to
grass lands depends somewhat upon
circumstances. AS a rule, late in the
fall or just before the ground freezes is
the best time; if hauled out in winter
and spread upon the snow, very good
results may follow, provided the land
is not so sloping as that when the snow
melts, the manure is not washed away.
If hauled out and spread in the spring,
and dry weather follows, the manure
is like to be so dried up and burned

GOVERNMENT CLERKS.

some of the Causes That Lead Many Of
Them Into Bad Habits.
The clerks have a lazy life at Wash
ington compared with persons who
perform clerical services in commercial
cities. They do not go to work until
nine o'clock in the morning and are
off duty for the dayat four o'clock p.
N. They are paid more money than
the average one could possibly earn in
any other calling, and provisions and
house rent are almost as cheap as in
St. Louis or any large city. Young
men who desire to become lawyers or
doctors have splendid chance here to
attend fine colleges and make good
living while they are acquiring an
education, if they can get into the
departments. A large percentage OF
those who come here with such
objects in view become inert, how
ever, fall into bad habits, and are
finally kicked out of the Office, and then
they go to the bad at a headlong pace.
They have too much loafng time, and
become demoralized. So-called FASH

of many. They get into whirl-it is
quite easy to do so--many of the bet.
