There is considerable coin in our
favored country, according to the report
of the Director of the Mint, although so
many Americans journey in the old
world as to exhaust not less than S7O,-
600, 900 of gold year to pay for their
extnvagances. This year the travellers
drafts on their bankers viii go rather
above that sum. However, we have left
in round numbers S64, 100000 gold
bullion held by the Treasury as security
for its equivalent in paper certificates
The bullion is, of course, uncoined; in
addition we have geld coin S617 900, 600,

A Boy Hunter.

A buck had been seen several times
going with herd of Mr.. w. +. Sowells
cattle, says the Sylvania (Ga.) Telephone,
and several efforts had been made to kill
him by the hunters of the "fork, but
without success. On Wednesday, how.
ever, as the children were on their way
from school in the afternoon, they saw
the deer with the cattle, and Mr..
Jenkinss son went home for the gun TO
shoot it. When he got home he found
he had no buckshot so taking piece OF
lead he cut it into large slugs, loaded his
gun and returned to the place where the
deer had been seen, and took a stand by
which the COWS had to pass in going
home. Very soon they appeared, and
the buck among them. Our young hunter
took unerring aim, fired and the buck
fell dead. Being some distance from
home, he was in quandary as to how to
get it home, but remembering that he
had small pet OK and block wheel
wagon he asked the children to guard his
game while he went home to get his little
OK and wagon. AS he was getting the on
in shape to go for his booty, Mr.. w. f,
Sowell came along and helped him to get
it home, hauling it with the yearling and
block wagon, and dressed it, and soor
each of his little school mates were seer
trudging home with piece of vension.

SWINE AND POULTRY.

When cool nights come it is time to
begin to force along all fattening ami
mails, not to crowd them to their utmost
capacity, but to be liberal with food, so
that they will show a perceptible
gain. Swine to fatten well need good,
dry beds aud not too much sloppy food.
Pork usually sells at better price before
Thanksgiving than afterward, and a
bushel of corn in October will make more
pork than five pecks will in December.
1t will also make more pounds of poultry,
if the fowl have comfortable quarters in
a hennery where they will not be too
warm in warm nights or too cold in cold
nights, and are not tormented by vermin.
The opinion held by some poultry men,
that it is of no use to try to fatten poul-
try until cold weather begins, is simply
the result of their experience where fowl
roasted out of doors or in open sheds un-
til late in the season, and were not kept
free from parasites that robbed them OF
vitality. Another reason why poultry
may not fatten as rapidly now as later is
owing to the constant worrying of the
young cockerels. They should be sepa.
rated from the rest, the henhouses and
roosts should be washed with kerosene,
and the fowl taught to go in there. Ther
with little care to close or open win
dows as the weather changes, there will
be no trouble in fattening them in season
for Thanksgiving.-Amo Cultirator

A Enrcnh Tax.

The Cinnamon IN California, although
aliens, are obliged to pay poll-taX of
three dollars, if under sixty years OF age.
As they are thrifty people, inclined to
save, and not at all in sympathy with
American institutions, they do all they
can to avoid this tax. Mr.. Frank, an
assessor in one of the mountain districts,
had a good deal of trouble one spring
in finding a certain Chinaman, "Sam
Lee" who was on his list. He went to
Sans shanty twice; he looked for him
at the placer mine where he "panned
out'> his daily wages, but all in vain, Sam
managed to avoid the assessor. One
morning, however, Mr.. Frank happened
to meet him on the mountain road.
"Hello, Sam Leel" said he stopping
his horse, "Tve been looking for you.
You must pay your poll-tax-three dol,
lars"
''Me no payee; me khxty-nine old, y
said Sam.
"Nonsense, you're not forty, and you
know it. Come. You must pay that
tax. Out with it."
ssMe klixty eight" =" urged Sam.
"Nonsense, tell you, / know bet
ter"
"Me klixty-seven," pleaded the China
man; and as the assessor still shook HI
head and looked commanding, he ral
beseechingly down the years from "klixty
Xix" to ''lIlixty." But the majesty o
the law, as personifed by Mr.. Frank
unbending decision, at last awed him
Reluctantly he drew from his blouse
leather bag, took out of it three silve
dollars, and handed them to the assesso
with this parting shot:

BRINE sALTING OF BUTTER.

The demand for less salt in butter has
called attention anew to brine salting, and
/ think, says a writer in the New York
Tribune, that whenever the maker has
mastered the method, this brine-salted
butter has given best satisfaction to con-
sumers. 1t has been wrongly supposed
that salt used for sailing butter, strikes
into the fats themselves and pickles them,
as we assume it does in the case of meat.
But all that is accomplished is to substi-
tute for the water left in the butter, usu-
ally from ten to fifteen per cent. a satur-
ated brine or water containing all the
salt it can hold at ordinary temperatures.
At the Minnesota Experiment Station it
was found that butter fats cannot be made
to absorb salt or brine; the particles of
fat are only surrounded by this solution.
All the salt that will be discovered In a
pound of butter by its own moisture
amounts to little, if any, over half an
ounce; hence of an ounce of salt in a
pound of butter, large part is simply
undissolved salt. 1t was shown, further,
that the finer the granulation of the but
ter, and the longer the butter stands in
the brine, the more of the solution it will
take up; the more brine the butter con-
tains the more of the Gaseous or cheesy
matter is removed, or in some other way
rendered harmless, and the longer the
butter will keep.
But if the grain is made too fine an un
due amount of water is leftin the butter
which washing will not remove. On tn,
other hand If the grains are left too large
they inclose more of the Gaseous matte
that will not be taken out, since the brin
cannot penetrate into these larger masse

TO SAVE GRAIN IN BINS.

Every year great deal of grain is
spoiled by molding or becoming musty
after being threshed. This year, unless
threshing is delayed until very late, the
losses from this cause are likely to be
unusually heavy, owing to the wet
weather at harvest time, and the bad con-
dition in which much grain was got un.
der cover. We heard few days ago a
practical farmer describe a method by
which he put up grain, however wet and
in any amount, without injury. He kept
lot of common brick under cover, so as
to be always dry, and when the grain
was put into the bin he interspersed
brick through the heap, enough to alb
sorb all superfuous dampness. Almost
every one knows that kiln-dried brick
will absorb great amount of water in
proportion to their size. The brick in a
heap of damp or even wet gram will, il
numerous enough, dry it out, saving al
danger of heating. After serving theil
purpose, the brick should be carefully
put one side for use another year. Oul

dry the grain, he usually threw few
brick in the bin to insure greater safety
1t is possible that this would prove
good method in drying out corn, or t,

spoiled by heating through. The brick
would thus be in greater danger of beinl
lost, or with grain stacks of being pu

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
nrsT TINE TO FELL rnrnrn.

The best time to cut trees for lumber,
says ]. II. Andre in the New York T'ri1
6une, is in November, December and Jan|
uary, when there is least, as well as the
thinnest, sap in the pores Of the wood,
aud when the weather is so cold that fer
mentation will not set in TO injure the
fibre. In summer the sap is richer as
well as more abundant, and in the hot
weather lively destructive fermentation
is very liable to set in. 1t is an undis-
puted belief among old woodsmen that
trees felled in summer quickly decay.
The branches of beech tree felled while
the tree is full of sap will be decayed to
such an extent by the followi~g g winter
that they may be easily broken, even if
large in size, and are worthless for fire.
wood. Lumber from hemlock felled in
summer, so as to peel off the bark for
tanning, is not so good as that cut in
winter.

Trees Need Darkness.

Observers in many of the small cities
blessed with shade trees have noticed
that those trees near electric lights have
been blighted by something, and for the
lack of some more apparent cause, the
trouble is ascribed TO the electric hghts.
The local arboriculturists say that the
trees need darkness as much as men need
sleep. Thsre seems 10 be some reason III
supposing that the nearness of the cleo
tric lights is the cause of the dropping o.
