Trade Opened Active and q Good Weeks
Business Indicated.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. %.
Trade to-day was quite active, at least a
decided improvement over last week. A
number of buyers were in and mail orders
were large, and a good weeks business is
looked for. In values. there were few fluc-
tuations as. for some time past, on all staple
articles, almost without exception. firm
prices prevail. Everything in the dry
goods line carries q steady, strong tone. in
sympathy with the wool market. which is
ina stronger position than at, any time in
years. Grocers had a good trade. The
travelling statesmen Saturday brought in
liberal riders and, as usual a few days pre-
ceding Thanksgiving. the demand for for
eign fruits and canned goods was active.
and sales Of sugars. teas and coffees large.
The provision market rules steadier and
prices a shade firmer. The holdings of
smoked meats just now are light. Three
packing-houses are killing hogs and this
bids fair to be the busiest week of the sea-
son with them. The produce markets were
active; receipts of poultry large, but with
q good demand there is no glut in the mar
ket as yet. Eggs. fresh stock. in light sup
ply and firm in price. Apples, bananas,
oranges and celery all in good demand ii
cheice stock. Potatoes, although in much
lighter supply than a month ago, continue
weak in price. The same is true of all vege-
tables. Other markets are featureless.
sqia GRAIN.

offerings meager. Track bids to-day ruled as

BAKED FIsH,-Dip the fish quickly
in boiling water, then wipe the scales
off, rinse in cold water, wipe 1t dry,
sprinkle salt both INSIDE and out, about
as much as you would for steaks. Then
dip IN -four, place the pan that you are
going to bake 1t in, in the stove
with a piece of butter in it the size Of
an egg. Let it melt so that it covers
the pan. Your pan should be about
the length of your fish, If larger, the
butter will be apt to burn. Place your
fish in it, the inside of 1t next to the
pan. Put it In hot oven and bake
one hour, If it is large fish. less time
if smaller. 1t should be well done and
Of q nice brown color.

SALMON SANDWICH -BrOll quar-
ter OF pound of smoked salmon over
slow fire, or use some that has beeD
cooked and cooled, chop it until it
forms paste, or pound it smooth in q
mortar, mix 1t with an equal quantity
of butter and use it instead of plain
butter for sandwiches. One of the
incest methods of cutting sandwiches
is to hold loaf of bread firmly against
the side with the left side and arm, and
cut of the end crust smoothly, then
upon the cut end spread thin layer OF
salmon butter. made as above, and cut
slice an eighth Of an inch thick off
the loaf. doubling or rolling it before
laying 1t on the plate. A little careful
practice will enable one to cut these
slices nicely and rapidly. Prepared
with butter made with cold ham,
tongue, poultry, meat or 6sh, these
sandwiches are an excellent tea or
lunch dish.

with the rest of the milk; beat four
eggs very light and add, and lastly stir
in the prunes. over which you have
first sifted little -four. Boil or steam
for two hours. Serve hot, with some
highly favored sauce; vanilla or wine

of interest; children's plush coats that
have become 30 led on the front can be
softly and delicately sponged with a
little bOrax and water without injury;
a teaspoonful OF powdered borax to
nearly a quart of water Is the proper

by the way, sponge may be softened
by boiling it IN clear water; then take
it out and rinse it In several waters. II
not softened sufficiently repeat the boil

EGGS are pOached by dropping them
raw from the broken shells into pot
of boiling water, lift them from the
water in a perforated ladle, and do not
let them remain long enough in the
water for the whites to be made

Is the visibility of the yellow yolk as

as top dressing to boiled green's or

To TELL A SLEEPS AGE.-It Is
often useful to be able to tell the age Of
sheep. at one year there are Two
large teeth In the centre Of the jaw.
and two are added each year up to five
years, when the sheep is said to have a
"full mouth" After this the age can.
not be told by the teeth. and unless
the animal is vigorous 1t has nearly
outlived Its usefulness, and should be
prepared for the butcher. The Shep-
herd says that not many boys under
fifteen can tell how many front teeth a
sheep has in the under jaw.

A sKILLFUL farmer will not overfeed
hs animals. IT'S queer. Farmers
Will let their animals get poor. and
then when they think they must fatten
them they Straightway begin to stuff
them with all the grain they Will eat.
This is unwise. There is then a great
waste. Feed moderately and watch
the bowels. II the excrement begins
to show lOoseness the animal is overfed.
1t should have less. One animal may
be able to digest as muc again as
another.

THE finest feed for steers that one
could possibly imagine is Indian corn
fodder cut up early enough in the fall
to ye it bright and green. If this
fodoer is grown so thick as to have ears
about half or two.thirds the usual size
upon each stalk the amount Of feed
will be surprisingly large, and there
will still be sufficient grain to keep
the animal thrifty even though a part
of the feed is millet and cat straw
Such corn-stalks may be fed long, or.
better yet, should be run through the
feed-cutter and deposited in feeding
boxes so constructed that the cattle
cannot throw out the fodder in search

show that, contrary to expectation, a

best in the North. The Poland China,
