A Remarkable Volcano.

The city Of San Salvador, the cap
ital of the smallest and most populous
Central American Republic, was found
ed in 1928. 1t has been three times
almost entirely and eleven times par
TALLY destroyed by earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions. It is eighteen
miles from the sea coast, has an eleya-
ton of $500 feet, and is surrounded by
q group of volcanoes, two of which
are active, San Miguel and Izalco, and
present magnificent display to the
passengers of steamers sailing along
the coast, constantly discharging
masses of lava which flow down their
sides in blazing torrents.
Izalco is as regular as a clock, the
eruption occurring like the beating of
Q mighty pulse, every seven minutes.
1t is impossible to conceive of a grand
er spectacle than this monster, rising
Z 900 feet almost directly from the sea,
an immense volume of smoke, like a
plume, continually pouring out Of its
summit and broken with such regu-
larity by masses of fame rising / GOO
feet, that it has been named Ell Faro
del Salvador the Lighthouse of Sal
yador. 1t is in many respects the
most remarkable volcano in the world,
because its discharges have continued
SO long and with such regularity, and
because the tumult in the earth's
bowels is always to be heard. It's ex-
plosions are constant, and are audible
q hundred miles off. 1t is the only
volcano that has originated on this
continent since the discovery by Coz
lumbus. It arose from the plain in
the spring Of ITO in the midst of
what had been for nearly hundred
years q magnificent coffee and indigo
plantation. Guatemala Star.

and who would not or could not see

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Billy Magee.
By D. t. HEATH.


Have You ever heard of Billy Magee?
He lives by the forest deep;
Some foolish people there are who say
That Billy does never s.eep.
For any hour Of the day or night
You can hear him as he prowls
About In the forest singing aloud,
Or answering the boot OF the owls.
No fear for any living thing
Or dead has Billy Magee;
And he knows more Of bugs and birds
Than natural histo y.
He knows where the bluebird builds her nest
In the thorny locust tree
And he knows the flowers on which to look
For the wild, wild honey bee.
He knows how the bullfrog sings go loud
How the toad can catch the flies;
He knows how the spider spins his web,
How the lark sings to the skiea.
"The5e ears of mine were made to hear,
And these eyes of mine to see,
And that's the reason use them both,"
Says jolly Billy Magee.

John Gould Discusses Continuous Winter
Stablin2 for Cows.
Last winter practiced the advanced
idea in dairying, and kept the cows in
the stables for 120 days without letting
them out, and never before wintered
my cows so cheaply and we'll. Never
before did they come through" look
ing as fine, and so free from ailment.
The barn is very warm. the thermome-
ter never but once going below forty
five degrees above zero. the air pure
and fresh, and the stable a5undantly
supplied with light. A large covered
tank in the stable. supplied from Il
deep rock we'll, afforded the best and
finest of water. The idea that COW
giving milk needs exercise to keep her
in health and vigor, | now think {.
mistake. No one thinks of driving his
fattening hogs or steers around for ex-
ercise, and the secretion of milk is a
similar process to secreting fat.

ions, but chain them in pairs, in half

dom so far as movement is consistent
with safety. A good bed under them
and plenty to cat before them has
made them perfectly contented, so far
as could see. They showed no incli-
nation to want to go out. and | finally
made up my mind there was no neces-
sity for it. They could lie down at
their ease, and the neck chain was
long enough to enable them to sleep
with their heads on their sides if they
wished. To me it was far nearer an
ideal way of wintering cows, than to
turn them out into stormy or zero
weather to make them hardy, or con-
tract constitutional vigor. am now
fully satisfied that it does not pay to
attempt to warm barnyards with cows,
or to use hay and grain to warm ice
water inside of Il cows hide. The
COWS were fed silage bran. and little
clover-hay, and gave summer messes
OF milk all winter. | have this sum-
mer made calculations to provide more
sllage, put the cows into the stables
earlier in the season. aud keep them
there later in the spring; and ii posi-
BILE feed silage once per day through

FARM AND PRESIDE.

Torn well put IN the GROUND anu
well titled will mature a crop on less
moisture than any other crop.
If properly managed, corn fodder
is one of the cheapest feeding materials
that can be secured. and it will pay to
secure full supply.
Nov down all the weeds and grass
as soon as you cut the corn oil. DO
not stack the corn to remain, but plow
the ground before winter sets in.
widowed linen may be restored
by soaping the spots while wet, cover
ing them with fine chalk scraped to
powder, and rubbing it well in. Or
soak in buttermilk and spread on the
grass in the sun.
Cream Slaw: Take one solid head
cabbage; shave all off fine; take two or
three tablespoons thick sweet cream.
three tablespoons sugar, salt and pep
per to taste; one-half pint good cider
vinegar; mix thoroughly; serve.
Mixed rations are more economical
than the feeding Of any particular
ARTICLE of food exclusively, as some
foods assist in the digestion of others.
There are growing rations. which are
best for growing stock, and there are
rations that promote fat more than
others.
In spreading manure over the sur
face of the ground, to remain there all
the winter, it is best to first pillow the
ground and then spread the manure.
If the ground be not plowed, and be
hard or rolling. much of the soluble
matter of the manure will be dissolved
and carried off by the rains. If the
ground be first plowed the matter will
soak in.
Chicken Patties: Mince cold fowl
with little ham or tongue and add
the chopped yelks of hard boiled eggs.
Rub together in stewpan over the
fire one tablespoonful of butter and one
of flour; add three beaten eggs and one
teacupful of milk, season with pepper
and salt. Put in the minced chicken
until it gets thoroughly hot. then serve
in Duff shells.-Iood Housekeeping.
Baked Fish: Clean. rinse and
wipe dry, fish weighing three or four
pounds. Rub inside and out with salt,
and fill with stuffing made as for
poultry, except dryer. Sew up the
opening in the fish and put it in a hot
pan with drippings and melted butter,
dredge with flour and put bits of but
ter on the fish. Bake one and one
half hours, basting occasionally. -
Household.
Indian Sandwiches: These may
be made from mixture of veal or
chicken, mixed with chopped cooked
ham or tongue. After the two are
rubbed together, to each half-pint may
be added q tablespoonful of stock, u
teaspoonful of essence Of anchovy or
little lemon juice. Cut thin slices of
bread from the loaf, then with round
biscuit cutter cut out the sandwiches,
butter each lightly. and toast until q
golden brown. Spread over them
while hot thin layer of the mixture,
and press two together.
Apple seed can be safely planted
in the fall, or it can be mixed with two
or three times its bulk of sand in boxes,
and allowed to freeze through the
winter, and planted just as soon as the
ground is in good condition in the
spring. Or as is the practice Of some
large growers, it can be kept until
nearly time to plant and then soaked in
water for forty-eight hours, changing
the water once or twice; the seeds
should not be allowed to even become
dry before planting.
