ORIGIN OF MASONRY.
The Body from Which Originated All the
Lodges Now in Existence.

The Body from Which Originated All the
Lodges Now in Existence.
Upon the base of the Cleopatra
needle" which Egypt has given to
America, are certain mysterious char
acters which so closely resemble the
emblems of Freemasonry that pro-
digious stir has been caused among
Masons in this country as to the real
character of the Inscriptions If they
could be shown to be truly Masonic
they would establish the great antiq-
uity of the order which is so boastful
of its age and descent. Among Mason
ic scholars the widest differences of
opinion exist as to the age of the in
stitutiOn, some dating it back to the
time of Solomon, or even remoter time,
and others ascribing its genesis to the
period since which comes within the
range of ''ancient history" Still,
there seems to be a prevalent opinion
that however ancient the institr-ion
may have been, and whatever traces
of it can be discovered in remote
times, the Masonry of to-day is re-
constructed and modernized system.
An eminent Masonic authority Colonel
Thomas Picton), who takes this view
of it, says that the origin of modern
Masonry can be attributed to Lord
Bacon. In the New Atlantis" there
is a description of Solomon and his
house, and it is there said that the
King set apart different days for pros
ecuting the arts and sciences. The
New Atlantis was excessively popu-
lar among the learned men of Bacon's
day, and they tried to establish a So
ciety, taking Solomon as an exponent
of wisdom. 1t was encouraged by
the court of James l., and his sue
cessor, Charles l., until the revolution
broke out. Then the royalists, after the
death of Charles l., reOrganized their
society for religious and political mo-
tives-the religion for the re-establish-
ment Of the church, the politics for the
restoration of the monarchy. Next
they invented what is called the legend
oil the third degree. Hiram Abif was
the murdered monarch. Hiram, the
King of Tyre, was the King of France.
Solomon was the church. Hiram S
three assassins were the three king
doms: England, Scotland and Ireland.
The Masons of that day, who were the
cOnspiratOrs Jacobites-weren nee
essarily a secret society. They called
themselves, as the MasOns of the Eu-
rOpean continent do to the present day,
the Sons of the Widow, inasmuch as
the King had been behead ed and his
son had not been recognized After
the restoration the leading men of the
movement formed the Royal So
ciety, which exists to the present
day, and they openly continued the
work Of the house Of Solomon. The

money, for which they paid exorb1tant
rates of interest. Once, while talking
about project with an acquaintance

the money for six months, paying inter-
est at the rate of three per cent. a
month. ''Why do you borrow for so

What a Large CultivatOr Has to Say
About Their Vfue as Food for Stock.
Those farmes in the West and South
who raise gran and stock should GER
tainly raise SWEET potatoes to feed their
stock in connection with grain. Aside
from their faf and flesh-fOrming ma
terials they exercise a cooling lntlu-
ence on the s.stem, materially reduc-
ing the chance of disease. From three
to six times az many bushels per acre
can be grown IS of corn, thus making
them the cheapest to raise. They can
be easily grown on almost any kind of
soil where water does not stand at any
time, but on Low land the ridges should
be made quitehig and plants of the
Golden Queen and Red Bermuda set at
least two feet apart on the ridge The
above kinds are the most productive
and are excabnt varieties for the table.
A large culivator says that fed with
commonwealth potato and twO-thirds
corn-to hogs and given nothing but
water to driNk, they increased in
weight much taster than others which
had their feel of corn supplemented
with the mix and slOps from the
kitchen. The analysis of sweet potato
shows 652 per cent. of starch and 14.S
per cent. oil sugar, which is proof
enough of their value as food prod
uct.
At this time, more than ever before,
the profits of the farm depend upon
the economical methods and in its
management. The low price of most
all kinds of farm produce makes it
absolutely necessary for the farmer to
look for the cheapest way to produce
the same.

ooor BREEDING sTocKs
Essentials Necessary to Building Up
Trae in BIooded Animals.


Trae in BIooded Animals.
In OrdeIto make a success of breed
ing and raling stock to sell again as
breeders, is not only necessary to
have good took, but he must build up
reputatiQ for his stock and himself.
His stock lay be of the very best kind,
and yet if has not been able to build
up reput;ion for honesty and fair
dealing, he ill find it somewhat diff
cult to bull up good trade.
It's not ely necessary that he should
own good sock, but he must be able
to make an breed so that the offspring
that he ma secure will not only be OF
fully as god quality as the parents,
but he mus be able to still further
transmit thse good qualities to his off
spring. Tb appearance of his is not
always a criterion of this, and
this is one reason why it
is so necessary to deal with
only reliabl parties. The purchaser
OF improve6tock generally makes an
investment nat he expects to be profit
able. Nealy all kinds of breeding
stock are sid at prices considerably
above the acreage market prices, con-
sidering evry thing else to be equal,
except as TO breeders.
In determining a question of this
kind the reliability and honesty of the
breeder becmes a very important
item, as it isthe purchasers principal
reliance fol securing good breeding
stock. Andhe breeder who has start
ed out with he intention of securing.
or rather of building up trade, must
be honest with his customers, or in a
short time h will find himself unable
to make sale'at any thing like a fair
price. A reputation for honesty is at
the foundation of success with the
breeders, and f any thing like last
ing business s secured it is absO-
lutely essential 1t is true that occa-
siOnally a breeer will be able by sharp
practices to seemingly make a success
for some time, tut he is certain to be
Overtaken at LIST; while on the other
hand, a reputation for honesty and fair
dealing will gpw, and the longer the
better. so thatthe reputation, or the
name itself, will be quite an item.

HOME AND FARM.

All breeding and young growing
stock should be fed very sparingly on
corn A mixed or variety of feed is
much the best for them.
Vegetables for winter use are bet
ter kept in boxes packed in damp moss
or sawdust than in scattered heaps
over the floor.
Breakfast Sausage: Take one
pound of sausage, one tablespoonful of
pounded crackers and two well-beaten
eggs. Mix, and make into little cakes.
Drop each in plate of pounded crack
ers. Fry brown.
An acre which will produce 80
bushels of corn will yield about two
tons of corn-stalks, % pounds per day
of which will maintain 1,000-pound
steer in ordinary condition, and even
smaller ration of the fodder will do if
the animal is reasonably well shell
tered.
Pruning when dormant tends to
impart vigor, but if done when grow
ing or in leaf it checks growth, and
therefore feeble tree should never be
pruned after growth commences in the
spring. But healthy, strong growers
may be lightly pruned at either season.
Wherever sheep feed, new sweet
grasses flourish and weeds are de-
stroyed. For this reason farmers
should raise more of them, if for no
other. But there are several other
and equally good reasons why every
farm should have its flock of these USE
full animals.
-Spare-rib Pie: Cut small, tender
spare-rib in pieces, put in a saucepan
with very little water, let simmer slow
ly. When done, season with pepper,
salt, and a very little minced onion
and parsley, and teacup of cream.
Line deep pan with plain short crust,
pour in the stew, cover with the crust
and bake brown.
Steamed Corn Bread: Four cup
fuls of corn meal, two cupfuls of sour
milk, the same of sweet, one egg, one
teaspOonful of salt, the same of sale
ratus, and one-half cupful of molasses.
Bake in a three-plnt basin. 1t should
be steamed three hours, and baked
half an hour Farm and Fireside.
Plants kept in moist atmosphere
will endure much greater degree of
cold than those kept where the air is
perfectly dry. Plants grown in the
dark or imperfect light are feeble and
colorless from want of vitality. They
should be kept in the best light the
room affords, and turned around every
day to prevent their becoming one
sided. Never allow plants to remain
in cold draught
1t is very annoying to raise flock
of pullets until they are nearly year
old, and then, just at a time when eggs
should be coming in, to have the pull
lets defer their duty as if they would
never begin. Such pullets are usually
as handsome as can be, in full health,
and should have been laying long ago.
The cause is due to a surplus of grain
verfeeding-a they will usu-
ally be found fat. A pullet may be
well fed from the time it was a chick,
but the food may be of a kind to pro-
mote fat and may be lacking in those
elements that hasten growth and ma
turity. The proper way to raise pull
lets is to feed food not Astounding in
starch. and to keep them in exercise as
much as possible.

How to Improve a Farm.

The best and shortest way to inn
prove farm is to reduce the stock,
pillow your fallows in winter so that the
soil will be warm and dry and the sub
soil decomposed early in the spring.
Harrow well and then sow ten or
twelve quarts of grass seed to the
acre when you put in your oats. If all
take, your chance is good for obtaining
from five to ten acres of oats and a
field seeded down to grass. Then pre-
pare as many acres for rye-sowing,
provided your land is not good enough
for wheat, and the two crops will give
you all the straw you need, and the
corn field, with usual good luck, will
produce enough to fatten stock. At the
end of the season you will have the
produce from fifteen or twenty acres
of land, represented in oats, corn and
potatoes, and as many acres sown with
rye and wheat. Keep just stock enough
to eat up the produce in grain and
hay, and after gathering your next
years crop of hay and grain, covering
say fifty acres of your farm of one
hundred acres, you may think of add
ing as many head of cattle as your
farm will sustain without purchasing
heavily of foreign supplies. By the
end of the fourth year you are ready
to put in a crop of wheat and save
blowing up your bottom meadow, you
have re-seeded your whole farm and
are now ready to enlarge your dairy
and at the end of ten years your land
ought to be in a condition to double
your crops and the number of your
cattle. This is rotation. Practical
