"Hello!" he thought, what's that d? a

in this drear loneliness?"
Nearear approach caused him to ex-
claim:
"If ! don't believe it's that sneaking
villain Slippery Sam. Wonder if he
contemplates returning to Satan's
Roost? The boys are not very favor
ably inclined toward him."
Which way, Captain?"
The man that laZily awaited his APP

was very ordinary appearing individ-

hair and stupid smile.

"A new Captain! What yer mean 2"
"Only this; | expect to leave this

"All right, Cap'n, I'll be careful and

But when Iron Dan had passed on
and was some distance from him, Slip
perry Sam gave forth low whistle
Going to resign, are you, my fine
fellow? Going to slip out of the halter
of Judge Lynch and let it close around
the necks of your men? Well, well,
we'll see; but Well try to keep an
eye on you, all the same"
And the man sat his horse in any
thing but a listless manner, while his
keen blue eyes appeared anything but
sleepy.
The plot thickens, but the time is
not yet, he muttered as he wheeled
his horse and followed Iron Oar,
though carefully keeping out of sight.

Good and bad, both, Captain. old
Skete was taken oil captive by lot of
redskins; We found his bandana ker-
chief on the spot where they had
cooked their dinner, and that's the
last of him; Int over on our left we

up, be sure and let me know, and keep

Iron Dan was as good as his word;
he renounced all claim to the captaincy
of the outlaw band and to their treas
ures as we'll.
He started upon his return journey
at nightfall, and knowing every foot of
the way continued it all night; only at
daybreak did he seek sheltered bluff

himself take brief nap.

EdJDI Notes.


RAW onions, chopped fine and mixed
with the food twice a week, are said to be
a preventive of chicken cholera.
THE freshest eggs are heaviest. Placed
IN a pan OF water they sink; older eggs
partly sink and stale ones float on the top.
PYRETHRUlG is not poisonous to verte-
brate animals, but little of the dust blown
upon insect of almost any kind is sure and
speedy death.
New ENGLAND farmers attribute the
disease known as weak loins in hogs to
lying in dollhouse manure. 1t is rheu-
matte trouble which may be cured by active
and continued rubbing. 1t may also be
cured by exercise and fresh air.
4 SARATOGA, n. Y, farmer reports that
he keeps crows from pulling the corn by
scattering few quarts over the field for
them to pick up, and repeating ii if neces-
sary. The crows eat enough grubs and
cut worms to pay for the corn.
RUN green clover, rye, wheat, oats, or
corn through the feed cutter, set to cut in
half-inch lengths, and feed to fowls con-
fined in yards. This is the soiling system
applied to poultry keeping, and works adj
mirably, as those know who have tried it.
FARMERS do not, as n rule, pay suf-
ticient attention to the comparison of re-
suits obtained from different animals. For
instance, one COW will give five pounds of
butter per week; this at 20 cents per pound
for twenty weeks, the average period of
usefulness during the year, would amount
10 500. Now if another COW yields eight
pounds of butter per week for the same
time at the same price, the result would
be $50, difference of S12 or 6 per cent.
on $500 for the year. And surprising an
other COW to yield ten pounds of butter
per week at the same price for the same
time, the difference would be $40, or
equivalent to the interest on S333.50 for
the year at per cent. Improvement of
the stock is a step to improved farming,
and the same care should be exercised by
farmers that is exercised by professional
breeders. GermdRtO,rn Telegraph.

HOUSEKEEPING.
R0'c to Roast Meat.

Mrs. Emma p. Ewing, of the school of
domestic economy at the Iowa Agricul-
tural College, saws:
In roasting meats of all kinds the method
adopted should be the one that in the most
perfect manner preserves the Juices inside
the meat. To roast beef in the best pos
sible manner, place the clean-cut side of
the meat upon smoking hot pan, which
must be over a quick fire. Press it close
to the pan until scared and lightly
Drowned. Reverse aud let the opposite
side become similarly scared and brown.
Then put 1t at once in the oven, the heat of
which should be firm and steady, but not
toe intense, and leave it undisturbed until
| cooked. The time that should be al
lowed for cooking beef in this manner is
twenty minutes to the pound, if it is to be
rare, less half an hour deducted from the
aggregate time on account of soaring. In
other words n five pound roast of beef
will require an hour and n quarter, a
six pound roast an hour and half, and SO
on.
If the oven is not toe hot the beef re-
quires no basting and is better without it.
When the oven is at the proper tempera-
ture and the cooking is going on all right,
the meat will keep up gentle sputtering
in the pan. If, upon opening the oven
door, this suffering is not perceptible.
more neat Is required. out II IN ADDITION
to the sputterlng any smoke Is discernible
in the oven, the heat is too intense and
should be lessened. Unless the heat of
the oven is too great, the drippings in the
pan will not burn and smoke. and when
the meat is cooked there Will be thin
coating of brown jelly in the pan where
the meat rested, which, by the addition
of stock or water will make a delicious
gravy.
a roast of beef should never be washed,
and if it has accidentally been wet or moist
ened. it should be carefully wiped dry be-
fore it is scared or put 10 cook. Soaring
almost instantly coats The cut side of a
piece of meat. and prevents the escape of
Juice in the after process of roasting, while
a firm, steady heat gently but thoroughly
cooks it, and thus both juice and flavor are
preserved. Basting is n troublesome as
well rs damaging process. And as salt and
water have a tendency to tougher and aI-
tract the juice of meat, they should nct he
used on it while roasting, if il is desired 10
have the meat sweet, JUICY, and tender.

HOME.
BY JANET JoNEs.

\ man can build mansion
And furnish it throughout;
man can build q palace,
With lofty walls and stout;
4 man can build O temple
With high and spacious dome
But no man in the weird can build
That precious thing called Home.
So It's happy faculty
OF women far and wide,
To turn cot on palace
into something else beside,
Where brothers, sons, and husbands tired,
With willing footsteps come,
a place of rest, where love abounds,
perfect kingdom-Home.
