How to Make Iced Tea.

Iced tea is constantly growing in
favor. and is now considered standard
beverage in many homes. Some enter
prising grocers also furnish trial cup
to their patrons, and in this way SAM
pie their teas. The question was once
asked us. 'sHow is iced tea nader"
and while some OF our readers may
smile at the question, yet we assure
them there's nothing very ridiculous
in it. To be sure it is only to drop
niece of ice into goblet of tea and the
thing is done. But then, the tea itself!
It isn't every one who knows how to
make that tea, and to them this hint
will not be Improbable. Put the tea
in an earthen or agate-ware pot and
set on the back of the stove where the
not and contents will get thoroughly
warm; then pour on water that has
been freshly boiled, and boiling thor
ouchly at the time; let it stand on the
back of the stove for fifteen minutes,
bv which time the tea will be perfectly
drawn. II you desire the tea to be
perfect and to remain SO. separate the
iiouid from the leaves by pouring il
of into another vessel. If your inten.
ton is to spoil it, you have only tt
boil it, and let it remain with thu
leaves in the pot.-Tdbte Iat1.

Hints on Horse-Breeding.

In breeding common mare to
thoroughbred horse of suitable size
and substance the farmer has all the
chances in his favor. Should the
product be colt he will be useful as a
general purpose from his three-year-
old form up to the time he is sold,
and he will be found to have quality
enough for almost any market for
which his size may fit him. Half
bred horses are always in demand at
fairly remunerative prices, and there
is, perhaps, not a commodity in the
horse market for which there Is
more continuous demand. Half
bred mares are extremely valuable in
the stud, especially if they are under
sized. One of these can be bred to a
trotting stallion with reasonable
chances of securing fast and lasting
trotter, to coach horse for the re-
production of his kind in an improved
form, or to the thoroughbred for the
production of the ideal hunter or sad
die hack. Indeed, the thoroughbret
cross is almost sure to give back value
in one shape or another. though TIN
foal in its first year may be one OF tn
most unpromising ever dropped on tn
farm.-Canadidn Breeder.

man, G;, gives this account OF iucern
IN that vicinity: Many years ago the
father of the writer seeded two acres
with lucern. The plat of ground was
exceedingly rich and adjoined the
horse lot in which ten mules were fed.
Two hundred pounds were fed to these
ten mules every evening, and at least
five more could have been furnished,
so rapid was the growth. My
father claimed that these two acres
were worth at least one hundred
bushels of corn and a half supply OF
fodder for ten mules. Many persons
plant lucern for hay. and the ex-
pcrience of Captain H. j. Sargent
abundantly justifies trial for this pur-
pose, for it would not be untrue to say
that he saved at least two tons OF hay
last season from the acre he has south
of his residence. In Virginia lucern
is grown for green soiling, and always
fed green, except in such cases as ex-
cess of green forage, when 1t is cut and
cured. Lucern can be cut for hay as
often as three times if the season be
favorable; yet it is not advisable to cut
more than twice, as late and too ire
quent cutting might retard the winter
growth. 1t should never be grazed,
and should have a top dressing every
year, about March 1, of land plaster
and superphosphate. twill last five
or six years, and is good for horses

THE IVORY TRADE.


An Industry That Has Been Killed ny inc
Introduction of Cclluloid.
A pair of magnificent elephants
tusks adorn the window OF an East
Side downtown store and indicate to
the passer-by that ivory goods are sold
there. The proprietor of the estab-
lishment told a reporter that the tusks
are the largest and most valuable In
the country, and that they came from
Africa nearly score of years ago and
have been in his possession ever since,
the tusks are nine feet long, weigh 100
pounds each and are valued at $500.
Ills there much doing in ivory at the
jresent timer" asked the reporter.
s..Nothing at ALL" was the reply, ''or
next to nothing, should say" he con-
tinued, s.for OF course there will
always be more or less of demand
for ivory, but practically the business
is dead and celluloid has killed it.
..Why,- he went on, "every thing
that was made of ivory few years
AGO is made of celluloid to-day, and a
great many other things besides. How
many pianos in these days have ivory
KEYS do you think? Only the most
expensive, and then, too, combs and
brushes, umbrellas and cane handles,
billiard and pool balls, and even dice.
Yes. saw set of dice the other day
that were made of. celluloid that you
could scarcely tell from ivory, so per-
fectly were they done.
sThe latest thing, however, in the
selluloid line that have heard OF is in
the shape OF playing cards. 1t Is said
that they are in every way superior to
the ordinary pasteboard articles, for
they can be easily washed when they
become soiled, and are so prepared
that the colors will not wash of.
Another attraction, their cheapness
will undoubtedly make them popular
and Ibelieve they will supplant the ole
fashioned cards altogether when they
become more generally known"
ITO what use are old and broker
billiard balls putt" inquired the re
porter.
"Well, those that are only slight.
Clipped or broken are readily turne'
down into balls suitable for bagateli
or parlor games, but those that ar
badly broken are thrown away as use
less. II the billiard rooms should al
close up we would find little to do i
our line. All first-class billiard saloon
are provided with ivory balls, for tn
celluloid limitations have found but Iii
lie favor in the eyes of billiard players
With the pool table. however, the cas-
Is different, for the majority OF pool SCI
