HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TO PREPARE MACCARoNI.

Maccaroni is a preparation of the
gluten of -four, almost as nourishing as
meat. 1t can be prepared with cheese,
with beef tea, with bottled tomatoes, or
with fruit. Put quarter of pound of
it on to boil in a saucepan of boiling
salt water and cook for fifteen or twenty
minutes. Drain it and serve hot with a
little butter. That is one way. Crate
some cheese over it while it is hot, that
is another. A third is to put the macca-
roni into q baking dish, strew cheese
through it and few bread crumbs on
the top and bake to light brown. Serve
in the dish. That is maccaroni au gratin.
There are three well-known sizes of the
little hollow stalks of flour paste; the
largest size is called maccaroni, another
size is spehetta and the smallest of all
is vermicella, used as "noodles" are for
soup. Spaghetti is cooked with beef tea
and makes very rick dish. Put it on
with salted hot water, alcne, and when
it is half done, half tender, drain off the
water and ler it stew slowly in beef
essence, which it absorbs, making good
dish. Bottled tomatoes added to either
the combination or the plain maccaroni
make very appetitizing dish. Cooked
as at first directed and added to stewed
or canned fruits, it is also good; that is
with apples, peaches or pears, but not
with red fruits, such as cranberrics or
plumbs, as they would be too acid.-

His Heart in the Wrong Place.

Charles Breslin, of Springfield, Ohio,
has curious displacement of his vital
organs. His heart is on the right SIDE of
his chest. Breslin is healthy young
man of twenty.six, and is y draushtsman
and engineer of marked abilities. He
experiences no ill effects from the unique
displacement, and is actively engaged
daily in his profession. The beating of
the heart can be plainly felt on the right
side. His circulation is regular and his
pulse normal. Mr.. Breslin says when he
was little hoy he was thrown from a
heavy farm wagon, and two wheels
passed obliquely across his chest. He
was ill for some time from the injury, ,and
believes that the heart was showed over
to its present position by the wheels, and
that his circulation and vital organs
finally accommodated themselves to the
change.

fashioned practice of plowing under
clover every other year and growing al
ternately with it crop of wheat, was at
the time thought to be the perfection of
good farming. 1t was not considered to
be an exhaustive rotation. Wss there
not every other year clover growth,
mainly secured from the atmosphere, to
replace what the grain crop took from
the soil2 Further experience has shown
the fallacy of this reasoning. Green ma
nurc necessarily cannot make additions
to mineral fertility of the soil. If every
atom is turned back to the soil without
waste, it gives only the mineral clements
first taken from the soil. The grain crop
was always sold, and if the farmers kept
work horses and few COWS the manure
from these, fed mainly on hay, corn.
stalks and straw, was duly drawn upon
the land. 1t was not rich manure, and
was usually especially lacking in phos-
pilates. Most of these wheat growers
have for fifteen ortwenty years been pur-
chasing mineral manures to replace those
that were exhausted.
The trouble began when even large
clover crop plowed under would not
produce large crop, while without the
clover good wheat could be grown with
a dressing of 200 pounds of phosphate
drilled in with the seed. This convinc-
ing proof of the benefit of mineral ma.
nures opened the eyes of many farmers
who had not before doubted that their
two-year system was not keeping up their
farms to the proper standard of fertility.
Yet ever since, though more stock has
been kept, and clover has been fed out
and thus made into manure, the buying
of commercial fertilizers has continued.
In fact, it is easy to see that this method
restores less of plant food than did the
blowing under of clover under the old
practice. Wheat and other grain are sold
as before, so that the difference is that
the summer fallow gave the land the en-
tire clover growth, while the policy of
feeding it to stock saved for the soil only
what was left after it had passed through
1imals eating it, and had contributed to
rowth, muscle, milk, wool or other ami
NAL products.
1t is clear, also, that the best use of
clover is to feed it at home on the farm,
and with it enough OF grain, oil meal or
other nitrogenous food to make rich
manure pile. But if oil meal and grain
are to be bought for farm use, it will re-
quire a much better class of farm stock
to make it pay expenses. So that, even
for securing the fullest advantages from
clover growing, there must be better
stock, which, in every way it can be
looked at, is seen to be the basis of i'm
proved farming. Cultioator.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1t is a good feeder who is able to judge
of the quality and feeding value of fo DDS

1t is said that vegetables put into =

1t makes all the difference in the world
whether the man runs the farm or the

Don't ventilate the poultry house
through cracks in the walls and floors,
and holes in the roof.
No system of buying and selling or
swapping animals will improve the stock
of the country. Itmust be bred up.
Forest leaves are not as good absorb
ents as straw, but they add very much
more to the value of the manure pile.
There is no sense in keeping a hog up
fattening after it is already as fat as it
can be. 1t is waste of food and time.
Don't cram fifty cents worth of drugs
down the throat of sick chicken that
wouldn't be worth over quarter if it
was well.
If you cannot give your COWS the best
shelter, give them the best you can.
Show your good will. They will appre-
ciate it.
While there is economy in co-opera-
tive dairying, there is not as much as
many have been led by the boomers to
suppose.
If you cannot buy good male to
breed up your stock, hire the services OF
one. 1t will pay in the first calf that is
dropped.
There is no disputing the fact that

What Interested an Inventor.

Inventor Edison went to that great
dinner, TO the Is, 900 Mayors of France,
but he cannot tell you who presided or
the name of a single dish that was served
there. 1t struck him that he would not
know how to seat $4,000 persons, each
in his own particular place, so when ne
went to the banquet he devoted himself
solely to discovering how this was ac-
complished. The problem appealed to
his inventive bent. He says he found
that each table was marked by the
initials of the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of France,
in their alphabetical order, and at each
table the seats were marked by the
initials of the towns within the arron-
dissement in question. The consequence
is that the Mayor of A in the arrondisse-
ment of R-went straight to seat with
out asking question or pausing min
ute. As soon as Edison saw how this
was done, the banquet ceased to interest

ECONoMIZE IN FEEDING.

Many farmer dcfrauds himself and
wastes his substance by lack of discrimi-
nation in feeding his stock at this season.
Some one has pcrtlnently said that the
average farmer cleaves to the ideas Of his
ancestors and feeds out his winter sup
DIV alike to his mixed herd, equally sur
prised if this one gains or that one loses.
He does not feed grain "because he can
not afford it," and he will not raise it
because he can buy it cheaper. His ami
mails are simply machines for converting
crops into fertilizers. Instead of keep
ing a few at profit he keeps many at a
loss. But whatever our calling in life,
we should always be ready to lift hand
againt this ruinous practice. With the
means at our command, better things are
expected Of us than simply to follow the
footsteps of our fathers. Economy in
feeding is the great study of to-day, and
if we do not contribute of our individual
support in its solution, reproach will
fall upon our own heads and it will be
deserved. York Witness.

UNEoUALLY YoKED TOGETHER.

How often one sees teams unmatched
In size-one small, ill-ftted for heavy
service, the other strong enough to haul
bis part of 5000 pounds on any ordinary
road, and each horse drawing an equal
share of the load. If the driver is asked
why he does not give each horse an equal
share of the draft according to his weight,
be may perhaps answer that the little
horse is fed just as big a ration as the
large one, and he must take his chance.
Perhaps the small horse is getting at least
one-fourth more grain than his stomach
will digest, and would be far better off
with less grain; while probably the ration
too large for the small horse is not suf-
6cient for the large horse. Thus wcmay
find teams driven for years at service
which would be easily performed by the
larger horse alone, if judiciously fed,
while the small horse, whose lot would
be hard enough under any circumstances,
is made to suffer still more from over
feeding. Each horse in the team, if
sound and of age for good service, should
in general be made to perform his share
of the teams labor, according to his
weight.
To accomplish this in simple man
ner, the hole in the double whiffletree,
or evener, by which it is attached to the
tongue of the wagon, should not be mid
way between the two ends, but so far
from the middle point that the distance
from this hole to one end will be as much
greater than the distance to the other
end as one horse is heavier than the
other. If, for example, one horse weighs
1900 pounds and the other 800 pounds,
then, one horse being one-third heavier,
one arm of the evener should be one
third longer than the other. Then hitch
the heavier horse to the shorter arm and
the lighter horse to the longer arm. 1t
is true that horses will not always draw
in proportion to their weight; a small,
wiry animal may work more easily than a
large, loose built one; and if the owner
can make due allowance for this, so much
the better; but even if he should leave
this out of consideration, give up guess
work in equalizing the draft and do moth
ing more than is shown above, he will be
surprised to find how much of an unfair
advantage he has been giving to the
larger horse.-Nev York Tribune.

The Cholera at Bagdad.

For several months past a violent
cholera epidemic has ragged in and around
Bagdad, Arabia. Herr Somekh, head
master of the school of the Israelite Al
lance in that city, describes the fright
full state of things there in q report to the
Alliance thus: GAS soon as it became
known that the terrible disease was the
cholera everybody tried to escape from
the infection as quickly as possible. The
panic was indescribable. Within two
days two-thirds of the Hebrews had left
the city, fleeing at random and settling
in the first village they could find. The
Christians did the same, and the Mahom-
medans, despite their well-known fatal
ism, could not escape the general panic,
soug ght safety in flight. The city pre-.
sents disconsolate aspect; the streets are
empty, one dares not venture out; the
only thing to be seen is the endless row
of hearses, which the paid drivers accom-.
panv to the cemetery. One sees neither
tears nor other signs of grief. Cruel, in
exorable death has quenched the source
of tears; the people have lost almost all
feeling. Our fellow-believers have suf-
fered proportionately more than the
rest of the population. Death has pur-
sued them everywhere, and has ragged ter
ribly among them. There is not fam
ily that has not to lament the death OF
one of its members. The rich, as well as
the poor, have been terribly tried, and
many of the dead had to lie for days un-
buried in the fields because there was no.
body to bury them. At this moment
10000 Hebrews are camping out In
mere desert some hours walk from the
city, scorched by tropical sun, in want
of the means of life, harassed by robbers,
boys and girls stolen from them-never,
in short, has an already very unhappy
population suffered such misery before.
In the city the sick die for want OF care,
and numerous families have gone for
whole days without food. The poor,
who no longer knew to whom to turn,
have died literally of hunger" This
heart-rending report has been completely
confirmed in answer to inquiries in the
most competent quarter, with the addi-
ton that the epidemic, which had
abated little toward the end of Octo-
Der, was raging again with renewed
fury.-London Lancet.
