the river some one hundred and fifty
miles to see 'Bula Matadi" and confer
with him. He arrived escorted by a
number of canoes and many followers,
and a show of state. Above all, he
brought with him his ancestral fetish,
a horrid-looking object made of a
monkeys skull and red clay, studded
with cowries and hung with little bells.
This thing, to his mind and bringing
up" embodied the spirits of his de-
parted ancestors, and must be treated
with great consideration and respect.
! LibatiOns of palm wine must be
poured over its head when it was
thirsty, and chewed-up food spat into
its mouth when it was anhungered.
The fetish was introduced depreciat-
ingly to "Bula Matadi" Instead of
doing as so many needless explorers
would have done-rudely laughing and
saying through the interpreter:
''What nonsense! Ask him why he
believes in such rot?" Stanley grave
ly sent for camp chair and respect
fully seated the fetish in it, so that
Ngantshu's ancestors might be pres
ent at the conference, and when lunch
time came and Ngantshu squirted palm
wine over the beaded skull of the
fetish and spat chewed-up fish and
manioc into its gaping mouth, Stan
ley, with a serious face, followed suit
with weak claret and water and minced
chicken. The result was that Ngan-
tshu signed treaty, and was forever
after Stanley's friend. No doubt, long
since the Baptist missionaries or the
fathers of the Catholic mission estab-
lished at the mouth of the Kwa have
taught Ngantshu that his ancestral
fetish is foolish and useless and dirty,
AID have gently persuaded him to put
it away, but this result would not
have been easier brought about had
Stanley, on his first acquaintance, COM
menced by jeering and fouting the
savage's belief. That Stanley had
consistently acquired the sympathy
and respect of Afghans, those who
have seen him at work can testify, and
therefore. it is that those who know
him can not believe him to be dead,
for his decease even in the heart of
Africa-the death of ''Stamlee,"
"Standili," "Mzung Mkubwa," ''Mun-
dele Munene," 'Bula Matadi'' would
have made such a retentis Sement
among the natives that the noise and
news of it would have even reached
our ears.-H H. Johnston, in Fort
nightly Review.

Feeding Bran or Potatoes.

Approaching the subject from the
chemical side we can get pretty
satisfactory answer from that point of
view. At % cents per bCshel potatoes
are worth about 40 cents per 100
pounds. Calling bran $12 per ton we
have cost of 60 cents per 100 pounds,
so that the question is: (Which is the
cheaper feed, potatoes at 40 cents per
100 pounds, or bran at COP" On page
104 of the fourth annual report of this
station is table showing the digesti-
BILE constituents of our common food
articles. By this table we find: 100
pounds potatoes, worth 40 cents, con-
tain 1 pound protein, 1876 pounds
of carbohydrates; 100 pounds wheat
bran, worth 80 cents, contains
1876 pounds protein and AZ pounds
carbohydrates and fat. 1t is quite evil
dent that bran is far cheaper than the
potatoes for feeding purposes at the
prices named, and if a farmer can get
% cents per bushel for the potatoes he
can afford to haul them some distance
to exchange them for bran at such
prices. The potatoes would require
cooking if fed to COWS. believe,
however, that if one should feed pota-
toes to stock he will get rather better
results than would be indicated by
chemical expression as 1 have here
given. Animals require variety in
their food in order to make the best
gains, and the farmer who feeds moth
ing but hay and bran, or cOrnstalks
and bran all winter long will find that
for a time his animals will show re-
markable results from almost any new
kind of palatable food they may re-
ceive. -Hoards Dairyman.

MATCHING MuscALoNeE.


Artificial Propagation of the Big Game
Proved to BE Possible.
The progress of modern fish culture
is no more aptly shown than by an eX'
pertinent in the artificial Matching oil
1nuscalonge which was successfully ae.
complished at Chautauqua Lake last
spring. Although shad and trout have
been Matched in large quantities by
artificial means, all experiments with
muscalonge had before this been fail
ures. The work was done under
the direction of the New York
State Fish Commission, with the objec:
of artifcially propagating the fish and
stocking the lakes in the interior of the
State with them.
The experiment took place at James
town on the lake, and was commenced
in the latter part of last April. Mr..
Jonathan Mason, an assistant at the
Caledonia hatchery, and a fish cultur-
list of many years experience, was dis
patched by Mr.. Seth Green on April
%. He at once commenced operations
at the lake, and was assisted by Mr..
Eleazer Green, a resident of James
town, who has taken great interest in
the artificial propagation of musca-
longe. A seine was employed to catch
the mature fish. After considerable
difficulty about a dozen muscalonge
ranging in weight from six to nine
ao,,cbf eli
pound female about 1000 eggs in good
condition were first obtained, then, on
the following day, 10000 eggs OBJ
tanned from sixteen-pound female
and 1000 from two other females.
The spawn was placed in Matching
boxes and kept in still water over
night The next day it was taken
across the lake to Southlands creek,
where there was little current. The
temperature of the water ranged from
90 to 55 deg. most of the time, but fell
as low as 40 deg. and rose as high as
65 deg. before the experiment was fin
ished. The formation of the fish in
the eggs could be seen on the fifth day,
and the fry commenced Matching on
the eleventh day. On the twelfth day
the eggs Matched rapidly, and by night
it was estimated that 600 young
muscalonge were Matched. Two days
later the fry were turned loose in the
lake. Lack of facilities prevented
their being kept longer.
A number of them were taken to the
Caledonia hatchery, where they were
examined with a microscope daily.
They were three-eighths of an inch in
length when Matched. They showed
no movement of the gills or signs of
breathing until they were nine days
old, but the heart action and the cir
culation of the blood were seen to be
strong and vigorous. They are help
less little creatures, and lay so quiet
for hours at a time that one would
think they were dead. When nine
days old they showed signs of life.
They were then half an inch in length,
and the yelk sack, which is of good
size when they are Matched. was two
thirds absorbed. At fifteen days old
the yelk sack is entirely absorbed and
the fish commence looking for food.
They are then ready to be turned into
the water and seek their own sub
sistence.- IN. Y. Mail and Express.

Smut and Dead Cows.

An Iowa farmer lost four COWS last
fall in consequence of their running in
the stalk field. He writes that he is
told that it was smut that killed them
and he asks our opinion. Our opinion
is that vast deal of nonsense is writ
ten and said about smut. Not that we
deny that it is a poison or that cattle
can be killed with it. We do not be-
lieve, however, that one animal in a
hundred that die when turned into the
stalk field, dies from the effect of the
smut eaten. Now here is the too COM
mon practice: The herd is turned into
the stalk field and left to run there.
The appetite for the new fodder is
keen; the animal eats and not only
eats but stuffs itself on this dry,
indigestible food. Perhaps there is no
access to water. Now nobody need
look very far for the cause of death
under such circumstances. He need
not bother his head much about smut.
Cattle under such circumstances would
sicken and die if there never was a
particle of smut in the world We do
not mean by this that we should be
reckless and permit cattle to eat smut.
We do mean that when cattle are
first turned into the stalk field, they
should not be permitted to remain too
long and should have access to water.
Smut will escape a good many indict-
ments if that rule is followed The
delirium which often attacks cattle I'M
der such circumstances is sometimes
attributed to the smut Pack stom-

TIM GALLAGHER'S FATE.
A Man Whom Wealth Has Often Favore,
Now Working in the Sewers.

Man Whom Wealth Has Often Favored
Now Working in the Sewers.
The story of Timothy Gallagher,
who is working in the sewers in Helena
as day laborer, is most remarkable
one, showing the ups and downs of a
miners life in this Western country.
His wonderful career would furnish
the novelist with material for a ro-
nance of intense interest. Fortune
has smiled upon him and Fate has
frowned upon him. He has been
wealthy and poor by turns and good
luck and bad luck have toyed with him
alternately. Success did not turn his
head. Reverses did not discourage
him. He has won and lost, and never
complained when the play went against
him. And now, while he is working
In the bitches, he seems to have no re-
grets, and talks confidently of success
when he goes prospecting next year.
He landed in Leadville at the begin
ming of that great mining camps
boom, and within a short time had be-
come possessed of several valuable
claims, one of which was the A Y and
Minnie mines, property that now has
a yearly output of thousands of tons
of rich ore, with millions in sight.
Not having capital to develop his
mines, Gallagher sold them out, real
izing. however, about $50, O00 With
this money he went into the Red
Mountain mining district and located
the Iron Mask mine, but, believing
that it would never develop into any
thing big, he sold it to Jim Burnell, of
Leadville, now of Denver Burnell
had considerable work done and sold
it to an English syndicate, considering
himself lucky because he received
$4,000 for it. Two years ago the
Iron Mask was sold for 81, 900, 900 cash.
There has been a great amount of
valuable ore taken from the mine ane
the supply seems inexhaustible.
Gallagher, however, stumbled on to
a pocket in one of his mines, in the Red
Mountain country, and cleared up $50
600, when it petered out. Leaving Red
Mountain, Gallagher went to the San
Juan country, where he put all his
money into hole in the ground which
did not promise near as well as the
mines he had owned in Leadville and
Red Mountain. He went out of San
Juan almost broke and turned up at
Socorro, n. M, and began pros
pecting in Canyon del Aqua. Luck
favored him, and he sold his claim for
$4,000. With this money he went to
Arizona and struck it moderately rich
near the famous Vulture mine. He
sold out for $50, 900 and drifted to the
Cour d'Alene, where he again lost his
all And now he is working in the
sewers at Helena, no signs of dis
enlargement in his face or manner,
confident of his ability to "get on his
feet again and win another fortune,

HOME AND FARM.

Too much grain is more detri.
mental to breeding stock than not
enough. The food should be bulky,
with a small allowance of grain.
Save the old brooms and take them
to the barn. They are handy to clean
the mud off the horses legs with, and
can be put to many other uses around
the stables.
Windows can be cleaned in winter,
and the frost entirely removed, by
using a gill of alcohol to pint of hot
water. Clean quickly, and rub dry
with warm chamois skin.
Horses can, of course, stand more
exposure in cold weather than men,
but the same kind of exposure that
produces colds, rheumatism, etc., in
men. will be liable to affect horses in
the same way. 1t is, therefore, appar-
ent that warm stables, good blankets
and protection from severe weather
are necessary.
Boiled Beans: Boil the beans till
nearly done, then make dough of
one pint of flour. Add one teaspoonful
soda and a pinch of salt. Wet with
enough rich butter milk to make a
rather soft dough. Roll into long
roll and pinch off places the size of an
egg and form into balls and boil fifteen
minutes. Don't lift the cover till
dOH9.
Ginger Bread Patties: Two table
spoons melted butter, one cup molasses
stirred together, add one teaspoonful
ginger, and a pinch of salt, one tea
spoonful saleratus in cup of hot
water; let it cool little before stirring
in the mixture; three cups 1our-bake
in patty pans. Albany Journal.
Dreamed Mushrooms: Peel the
mushrooms, cut off the stalks. and put
them in a saucepan, add butter, and
let them cook ten minutes, and add
teacup of thick cream, pepper and salt.
Take from the fire, add the we'll
beaten yelk Of one egg, and a table
spoonful of grape jelly, Serve i'm
mediately.-Farm and Fireside.
To clean and polish a parlor organ
or piano, wash it with a soft, old silk
handkerchief wrung out in lukewarm
suds made with best CASTLE soap.
Then dry Immediately, and rub with
channels skin, and, if the instrument is
very much scratched and defaced, rub
with good furniture polish and polish
for long time with dry chamois, or
a piece of soft silk.
After winter grain is sown there is
yet time to remedy defects of soil and
exposure. If there is knoll in the
field it is probably the poorest part of
the lot, and one or more loads of ma
nure distributed over it any time before
winter will have wonderful effect,
not alone upon the grain crop, bat on
the equally important clover or grass
seeding that should go with it. If a
farmer will do this every time field
is sown the poor knoll will soon be-
come as rich as any part of the farm.
There is such thing as a natural
aptitude for different kinds of bust
ness. One farmer will grow poor on
a rich farm, while another will grow
rich on d poor farm. One poultryman
will make money in fowls, and another
will lose it. The one is adapted to his
business, the other is the right man in
the wrong place, or the wrong man in
the right place. Success can be had
only when the right man is in the right
place. Life is strewed with the wrecks
of those who have attempted to make
a square bolt fit a round hole.
