A Remarkable Deposit Of Salt.

The Independence (Cal.) Independent
says: 1t is doubtful if there is elsewhere
in the world more remarkable deposit
of salt than is found near Silver Peak.
The salt is almost perfectly pure, the
grade by chemical test being ninety
eight per cent. It is shoveled into sacks
where found, and is ready for use in that
state. It is as white as snow and of fine
grain. 1t has been proved to be the finest
salt in use for curing meat. When we
have railroad to Los Angeles meat pack
ing will be one of the big items of Owens
valley business. There will then be use
for this fine salt. In Saline valley, across
the Inyo mountains, is another vast de-
post of salt. Indians gather this salt,
pack it over in Owens valley and ex.
change it for goods.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TO MAKE COCOA.

Allow two teaspoonfuls of the prepared
cocoa to one breakfast cup; boiling milk
and boiling water. Put the cocoa into q
breakfast cup, pour over it sufficient cold
milk to make it into smooth paste; ther
add equal quantities of boiling milk and
boiling water, and stir all we'll together.
Care must be taken not to allow the milk
to get burnt, as it will entirely spoil the
flavor of the preparation. The above di'
rections are usually given for making the
prepared cocoa. The rock cocoa, or that
bought in solid piece, should be scrapec
and made in the same manner, take care
to rub down all the Jumps before the boil
ing liquid is added. Two teaspoonfuls
of prepared cocoa for one breakfast cup,
or one-quarter ounce of the rock cocoa for
the same quantity.

this work at the time of fruit blossoms,
when the bees are gathering their first
honey of the season. The combs are now
light, with less honey in them than al
any other time of the year, and there Ii
yet but small amount of brood and bees,
The work of transferring is therefore
lighter than at any time during the sum-
mer. The task appears to the inexperi'
enced to be quite a formidable under.
taking, and is put off from time to time
and even from year to year. This IS 0
great mistake. After once transferring
colony the beginner wonders why the
bees were allowed to remain so long In
the old hives. First, adopt a proper
frame. It is about as difficult to change
from one kind of frame to another as
it was at first. There are several kinds
of frames to use and any one of them will
prove successful; among these are the
Langstroth, the Simplicity and the
Quimby. The Simplicity frame is 175
inches long and 81 inches deep; the
new Quimby 16t inches long and III
inches deep; the Langstroth is nearly the
same as the Simplicity. The Simplicity
frame is used to greater extent than any
other, but whatever frame is decided on
use that one exclusively.
A good bee smoker is needed SO that
you can have full control of the bees.
They should be smoked thoroughly be-
fore operations begin and at frequent in.
tervals before attempting to open the old
hive. This will allow ample time fol
them to fill themselves with honey, which
they never fail to do if thoroughly
smoked. Turn the hive bottom side up,
and with cold chisel and hammer pry
open and cut the nails from two sides Of
the hive. This will lay the combs bare
so that they may be reached conveniently
Lay the frame to receive the combs flat
upon a board which has been previously
guttered out one-half by one-half inches
on every two inches of surface. This
will allow a wooden needle to pass under
the comb after it is fitted into the frame
By this means a cord of hard twine is
drawn over the comb and around the en-
tire frame and securely tied, spanning the
frame every two inches. After the
combs have all been removed, cut, fitted
and tightly bound into the frames, place
them carefully into the new frame hive
and raise the old hive, which contains
the majority of the bees. With q brush
of soft material or a stiff feather gently
remove the bees into the new hive or to
its entrance. In arranging the combs
place those containing the brood in the
center and see that the brood occupies a
compact mass in the hive. In a day OF
two the bees will have fastened the combs
in the frames and will ultimately remove
the twine fastening. They cannot dc
this if wooden strips or tin fastenings are
used. Only combs that are straight
should be used; fill the remainder of the
frames with foundation, which would
recommend rather than crooked combs,
but combs containing brood should all
be used.--American Ag1iculturlst.

POTATOES.

Plant as early as may be. When the
Colorado beetle first came, it was looked
upon as great scourge, and one that
would cause US to abandon potato cul-
ture. Now we plant potatoes regularly !;
the beetles appear regularly; we poison
them regularly, and they die accordingly.
So long as we accept the poisoning of the
ssbugs" as feature in potato culture, pur-
chase the pure paris green and be ready
for the first appearance of the first "bug."
Syring the vines with water in which one
tablespoonful of the paris green to the
pailful of water has been thoroughly
stirred. The poison does not dissolve,
but soon settles, and must be stirred up
often. When the work is done, gather
up pals, syringe, poison, and everything
that has been used with it, and place
them under lock and key, and keep the
KEY. If this be done there will be no ac-
cidental poisoning of persons or farm
animals.-American Agriculturist.

If the oven is too hot when baking,
place small dish of cold water in it.
Hang small bag of charcoal in the
rain-water barrel to purify the water.
Paint made with turpentine is better
protector for iron work than when mixed

KILLING WEEDS.

There is no doubt but that many far
mers find it more easy to tell how to de-
stroy weeds than it is to keep them down,
especially among the cultivated crops.
There is this fact, however, let the weeds
be where they may they are much easier
destroyed when they are small than at any
other time, and the longer they are al
lowed to grow the more difficult they be-
come to eradicate, while if they are al
lowed to mature seed they will add ma
terially to the work of keeping the farm
clean. If the soil could always be in con-
dition to work readily, it would be a much
easier matter to keep clean. But it is Of
ten the case that in the spring especially,
the soil is so wet that it is next to impos-
sible to work properly, and as conse-
quence the weeds will get good start.
As rule the majority of weeds grow
better in moist soil, and consequently
in a wet season they make good growth
at the expense of the cultivated crop.
So, also, the condition of the soil has
much to do with manner of cultivating
and keeping down the weeds. The har-
row or cultivator can be used when the
soil is in good condition, but when the
season is wet so that the cultiyation is de-
layed, it is often the case that some other
plan must be adopted. When the work
of cultivation can be given at the proper
time, there is no better implements to use
than the harrow followed by the cultiva-
tor, but if the work is delayed until after
the weeds get good start, they will not
be very effective, and it will be necessary
to use something that will turn them CON-
pletely under.
1t would be difficult to suggest plan
that could be considered best every sea-
son, either as to the plan to be followed
or the implement to be used.
So far as possible the work should be
commenced as soon as the crop is planted
before the weeds start. Cultivate as fre.
auently as the condition of the soil and
other work of the farm will permit. The
season and the amount of work to be done
will often make difference in the i'm.
plement used and the manner of cultiva-
ton. Of these the farmer must himself
be the judge.-Farm, Field md StocA'
man.

Kanawha's Pictured Rock.

The "pictured rock" of the Kanawha
Valley, near Charleston, W. ", has been
covered by the river, owing to the build
ing of dam by the Government. 1t is
one of very few documents of the Indians
left in the Eastern States and has often
been attributed to vanished race of the
ordinary Indian type. Figures of men,
bears, fish and fowls are carved on a
smooth part of the stone in fashion that
is, thoroughly Indian, though. perhaps
not the work of the tribes last in posses
sion of Paint Creek and the Valley of the

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
DON'T forget the dust bath.

Don't forget the dust bath.
Don't plant corn that will not grow.
Be sure and test your corn before plant
ing.
Don't plow the land when wet OF
sticky.
One of the essentials of soiling is q
fertile soil.
Every farm ought to have its expert.
mental patch.
Mix the dry horse manure with the
wet COW manure.
Cooked rice, fed cold, is good fol
diarrhea in chicks.
Don't breed draft mare to trottel
or thoroughbred.
Don't feed sulphur to young chicks-it
produces leg weakness.
Hard-boiled eggs and cornmeal makes
a good first feed for ducklings.
Don't breed to a misshapen, ungainly
horse, even if he has a long pedigree.
Watch the young ewes, for frequently
they will not allow the lambs to suck.
1t is a mistaken idea that hens nest
ought to do duty a year without renew
ing.
The early killed is the easily killed
weed, and the weed that robs the crop
least.
Don't breed to horse that is accident
ally good-looking in spite of bad an
cestry.
If you are careful to keep the burrows
straight, you will do faster and better
plowing.
See that the hen is not setting in drafts,
or she may be taken sick before the hatch
is half done.
The man who has all the money he
needs is the only one who can afford to
raise Scrubs.
Young chicks may be put upon a
cracked wheat diet after about three
weeks of age.
Never allow a boar to run with the
herd or a SOW to have corn for two weeks
before or after farrowing.
James Rankin says: II do not wish
to see hen around in any other capacity
than that of an egg producer"
A diversity of crops distributes work,
receipts and expenses more evenly through
the year and through the years.
The pigs should be fed to secure as
nearly all their droppings as possible to
the manure heap or fields, and not to the
wash of the streams.
The fertility of eggs must obviously
depend much upon the number of hens
allowed to each cock, which will vary
according to the breed and circumstances.
Don't plant corn until the ground is
thoroughly warm. By gaining a week
in planting you often lose two weeks in
harvesting and large share of the crop.
Clover hay, cut up about an eighth of
an inch, mixed with bran, and scalded,
makes a capital breakfast for the fowls,
and one that will tell wonderfully on the
egg basket.
In no other way can the farmer so radi-
cally do the work of nature to his ad-
vantage rs by using tile; for under-drain-
age both lengthens the seasons and
decpens the soil.
The smaller the field the more fence
required and the more land taken from
cultivation. The more oblong the field,
the more fence required to inclose a
given area; conversely, the nearer a
square is the field the less fence is re-
quired.
Wheat is the best food for animals.
Oats for the horse. Corn is not a good
horse feed. Peas are the most nutritious
food there is for stock. Corn stalks are
very carbonaceous. Milk and grass are
complete foods. Wheat bran, linseed
meal and cotton seed meal are the main
carbonaceous foods, but they should be
fed with hay.
