THE HOUSEK EEPER.
Something New About Fancy Baking.


Vienna loaves are made of pure Hun
garian flour of the finest quality in
elongated, cylindrical loaves, over two
feet in length, by three inches in diane
ter The tops of the loaves are scored
and glazed; the upper crust Is very thin
and crisp; the undercrust is unglaZed,
but nevertheless, thin, and also crisp.
The texture of the crumb is very fine
and spongy, and of delicately white
color. Cut into chunks, this form of
bread is strongly to be recommended for
the dinner table and elaborate lunc heons.
Pam Richie IS the name given to a
variety of the Vienna loaf produced
from precisely the same materials, but
| differently shaped. The loaves are long,
/ but fulslform, l. e., tapering to point
at each end. The upper crust is scored,
glazed, and dredged with flour; the lat
ter is marked by sinuous lines of pow
| derry white, bordering upon the edges of
the scored depressiOns, and, in con-
trast with the rich glaze, lends singu-
larry attractive appearance to the loaf,
which, to be orthodoxy Partisan, should
be placed entire upon the table, between
the Plates of the guests and the central
decorations.
Croissants, or in plain English, Cres-
cents, are, as their name indicates, rolls
of horseshoe shape, made from blend
of the best Hungarian fours, milk, but
ter and trace of sugar The texture of
both crust and crumb is exceedingly fine,
the former possesses a glaze over the
| rich, brown exterior, which
gives to the roll most appetizing ap-
pearance. This is the form of bread par
excellence for breakfast, and ought al
ways to be served with coffee.

upon; but of admirable flavor. They
are made out of the finest Hungarian
flours, blended in various proportions,
and on account of their pretty shapes
and convenient sizes are exactly suited

older one made pounds l ounce of
butter, while the other one made 7

few dollars on the price of the older
COW, and sold her readily for all she
was worth. For the other, | refused TO
take ten dollars more than the price l
had set, deciding to keep her for my
own use. She turned out to be valu-
able COW.
There is great difference in the but
ter value of the milk given by different
cows, and those who fail to recognize
this are likely to have fair mixers in
their herd which do not yield butter
enough to more than pay for their keep
ing. They are also likely to undervalue
some giving a smaller amount of milk
and to dispose of them at a sum less
than their real worth as butter cows

THE FARMER.
The Need of Grooming,

No man, says the Western Rural. can
groom "A horse intelligently unless he
has a correct idea of the purpose of
grooming and the characteristics of the
skin. We have seen people dig into the
skin of horse with sharp curry comb
as if they were smoothing down stone.
and the pitiable cringing of the animal
has no effect in getting the fact into the
mind that the horse was being hurt.
The skin is to be reached, for one of
the chief purposes of the operation is
to cleanse the skin-to remove the dirt
and collections that have gathered on it.
IN one sense, when the skin is covered
with dirt and the dried exeretions that
have come through the pores, it is like
a head covered with dandruff, and those
who have had an experience of that
kind know how much discomfort there
is in it. The pores of the skin become
clogged, and they cannot, while in this
condition, fully perform their functions.
Their importance is so we'll understood
that some have even gone so far as to
recommend the Turkish bath for the
horse, and we honestly believe that it
would often prove valuable.
The skin is, therefore, to be distinctly
and effectively reached by the curry
comb, that it may do all it may do in re-
irritate the skin or clog the pores. The
pores cannot be fully cleaned by the
curry comb, but they can be partially
cleansed by it. But while it is necessary
to scratch" the skin, it must be gently
done. The horse should never be made
to cringe under the process of grooming.
Of late years combs have been manufac-
tured that do not harm the skim and
some of them are valuable. 1t need not
be said that farm houses are often neg
lected in this respect. Frequently it
is the result of the hurry in our work
But suppose the trotting horse should
be thus neglected. If it could be with
impunIty, certainly the owner would not
go to the expense that he incurs for
having the animal thoroughly groomed.
1t is the only way that the trotting horse
can be kept in good condition. But the
work horse has the same sort of organ
ism that the trotting horse has, and
what is good for one is good for the
other. The truth is that if we paid more
attention to grooming we could feed
less, and our horses would be much less
liable to disease. Time spent in per-
forming these little things" on q farm
is usually well spent.

Vigilance Com mittees Formed to Max
War on Colored Men.


LAFAYETTE, La, Feb. S.-About l
O'Clock yesterday afternoon small
groups of men began assembling in the
vicinity of Falk's Hall. 1t is under
stood that the meeting held Wednesday
was for the purpose of arranging Wig
lance committees with instructions to
visit all homes of colored people in the
parish at the same time, ascertaining
whether they are employed or have
made arrangements for the ensuing
year. Those who have not yet been
fortunate enough to obtain work will be
required to leave the parish instantly or
be under the penalty of the brutal des-
potism of these men. The ''vigilantes"
are said to be between 600 and 200
strong in this parish and are expected
to commence operations in few days.

wind whistled round the corners OF the
mansion, making dreary, melan-
choly sound as it swept over the lawn
and tossed about the tall pine trees
that dotted it here and there.
Oh, the misery, the awful burden
that Lenora bore, as she slowly passed
down the long, broad avenue, from the
home where she and her lost love had
once been so happy. She was going to
the city, and intended to take the first
train for Chicago, but as she entered
the thick, dark forest, her heart sank
lower and her weary, trembling limbs
refused to carry her any farther.
An old log lay near the roadside, by
the frank of a tree; she sank down up
on that and rested her head against the
tree: she sat there for some time; by
and by it began to rain harder, and the
large, cold drops fell thick and fast
upon her pale, upturned face.
The cool rain drops seemed to revive
her, for she again resumed her sad
journey
Occasionally in the distance she
could see a dim light; she could not
tell how far she had gone, but it
seemed miles and miles. On she went
and came nearer to that Pickering light.
BY and by she got so near that she
could see that it was lamp in the
window of a house; on she went
slowly, step by step, until she stood at
the gate of the house, where the light
had been placed in the window, it
seemed, for her, and she called it her
guiding star.
She went to the door and gently
raped, but no one opened it. She
raped again and again, and yet no re-
Spouse. The rain began to pour down
now and her clothes were dripping wet.
Just as she was going to rap again
the door was opened and her little
body, weary and exhausted, fell into
the room.

A committee of experts at the Ameri-

the following as a standard of a hog
best fitted to meet the requirements of
the market:
Such hog must have a short head.

small, thin and tolerably erect, but is
not Objectionable if it droops slightly
forward. 1t must be straight on the
bottom from the neck to the flank, let
we'll down to the knee in the brisket,
and possess good length from head to
tail; back broad and slightly curved or
arched from the shoulder to the setting
on the tail; ribs rather barrel shaped;
tail small. The hams should be long
from the back to the letting off at the
loin, and be broad and full shoulders
not large, and vet sufficient to give sym
metry to the animal; hair smooth and
evenly set on; skin soft and elastic to
the touch; legs short and small, set I'M
