Aunt Mary,s Biscuit

There are only few things requisite
for the making of good soda BISCUITS, but
those few are of the utmost Importance.
dear old lady in New England, called
" Aunt Mary" by all who knew her, was
justly celebrated for her unrivaled sue
cess in that line. 1 have many times
watched the process from the flour bar
rel to the breakfast table, but my best
efforts have never produced anything
approximating her biscuits, writes con-
tributor to the National Stockman. Her
first thought was of the oven, the heat
ing of which was by the use of wood.
She followed the same rule observed the
world over, of two teaspoonfuls of cream
of tartar and pinch of salt mixed with
a quart of flour, but one of the main
points in which she was very particular
was that the liquid should all go In at
once, and she for many years invariably
used the same bowl filled up to a GER
tain blue stripe around the border) with
equal proportions of milk and water
about a cupful of each-in which she
dissolved a teaspoonful of soda. She was
very quick in her movements, and it was
an incredibly short time until she had
sprinkled little flour on the board
where she placed the dough which was
quite soft, and dipping her hands in the
flour { she never used the rolling pin J,
she gave the mess an encouraging little
pat-in which l think there must have
been some peculiar charm-and in a
moment they were cut out and ready
for the oven. which by this time was in
condition to impart, by the first Whit of
its atmosphere, a rising ambition to the
biscuits, without which heat they cer-
tainly would have been a fiat failure.

reported that Huntington bought the
Oregonian lines for the Southern Pacific,
but that some of the directors would not
take the property, whereupon he began
extending the road with the intention Of
making it a transcontinental line, when
the Southern Pacific concluded to take
the property off Huntington's hands.

A BILL has been introduced in Congress
o build ship canal around Niagra Falls,
SO that in case of war with Canada vessels
can be taken through it from lake Erie TO
lake Ontario. The canal is to be some 20
miles long and will cost about million dol
lars mile. An appropriation Of 81. ZOO, 900
is asked for to start the scheme. The Gov
eminent needs such canal as this about as
much as we need new web press to run off
our edition. There is about as much danger
Of war with Canada as there is danger Of
Congress passing free coinage measure, and
the laundering idiots who vote for such non-
sensical and expensive measures should be
retired with leather medal for incompe-
tency. Give US an appropriation for water
storage on this coast and it will be Of more
benefit than all the ship canals in America.

THE papers are figuring that Nevada
Insurance Company would have cleared
23,85o in 1850 had it secured all the bust
ness Of the State and home insurance COM
pany is suggested. If any company starts
in this State to secure Nevada business it
will get badly left. 1t has always been a
rule with Nevada people to send all the
money abroad possible, and our business
men are not likely to patronize home CON-
pany when they can send their money to a
California Company. This is the reason
that we send about quarter of million
dollars a year to outside lotteries instead Of
having home lottery.

BILL has just passed the House forbid
ding the employment Of aliens in the navy.
The measure is aimed at the Chinese sailors
who partially man several vessels on the
Asiatic squadron. The bill for this reason is
. commendable one. Chinese as a rule lack
the personal bravery needful in a first class
seaman, and in an emergency. when their
services are most needed, they are almost in
xariabiy found wanting. America wants no
men-oEwar manped by Chinese.

THE reason why our representatives. in
Congress do not pull together for stronger
silver measure than any yet introduced is
obvious. They were elected as partizans,
and their first duty is to the political organ
ization which gave them Positions Times.
R<virv.
1t seems to us that this is strange reason
TO advance. Our representatives in both
Houses Of Congress are siaunch Republi-
cans, it is true, and being such they are
probably IS we'll posted as anyone as to
what the political result will be in this State
at the next election if something is not done
in favor Of silver at this session. Ii would
appear to us that the more they accomplish
ed this session the greater would be the
chance for Republican success in Nevada
next Fall. The people of this coast have
had promise after promise on the silver
question and the jugglery with it has be-
come disgusting. Our representatives un-
derstand this. but it is hard matter for a
few men who thoroughly understand the
question to overcome the prejudices Of many,
especially where the prejudice is backed by
Wall Street gold. While our representa-
tives have not yet introduced silver bill
that is exactly what this coast wants, yet it
is evident they are doing what they think is
for the best. 1t is our opinion that free
coinage measure can not be passed at this
session, but we would rather see it tried and
fail than to see any of the measures SO far
proposed become law. We are half Of the
opinion that the Times Review writer is try
ing to swing that journal into the Democrat
ic ranks. The TIMES has no politics as far
as the silver question is concerned. This
State has had Democratic representatives in
both Houses of Congress and under Dem
ocratic administration they did even worse
than the Republicans. We are with our
contemporary this far, that we believe that
every Congressional nominee on this coast
should hereafter be pledged to stay with
free coinage measure, and nothing less, first,
last and all the time, irrespective of caucus
or anything else.

Editor STANDARDS: The winter
here has been the mildest l ever saw
anywhere. We have had only one
freeze, and that was last week-just
when we ere congratulating our
selves on having escaped the norther
for one year at least.
Corn is being planted now and the
farmers are wasting no time in getting
it in the ground.
Oats and wheat were badly dam
aged by the cold last week, and some
farmers are going to plow up and
plant in corn.
The prospect for a cotton crop is
good. The ground is thoroughly wet
and if we can get a few showers dur
ing the summer We are almost sure of
a good crop. We can make cotton
with very little rain. In 'S7 we had
only M good rain. That was the
second day of May, and it wet the
ground several inches deep. That
year we made with two or three
light showers) on an average about
one-ffth of a bale of cotton rer acre,
which was worth about nine dollars.
There are some of old Warren's
former citizens here, and they are all
prospecting.
Mr.. Sam Bowers is engaged in the
mercantile business at Troy, and is
doing a thriving business.
Mr.. Milton Bonner is in the lum-
Der business there and you ought to
see how high he steps.
Mr.. f. c. Pepper is making it pay
farming here. His crop last year
was worth over one thousand dollars,
and he made it all without hiring
any help.
Mr.. Tom Crouch was here for q
week or two last month, but said he
"didn't believe he could raise poultry
here, so he was going back to Warren
county"

Hard Time Club Resolutions.

The Hard Times Club of Texas, has
issued the following resolutions,
which + applicable in this State
and in all political elections:
Whereas, The time is now at hand
when those whOseek offices will come
among the farmers in order to secure
votes ; and whereas, it has been the
usual custom to address them as "the
horny-handed sons of toll" "the
sturdy yoemanry of the land" and
"the bone and sinew of the country"
to our faces, and calling us ebay
seeds and ''yokels" to our backs /;
therefore,
Resolved, That we will not hereaf-
ter support any man for office who
has not shown an ability to support
himself and those dependent upon
him, and will set the dogs on any
one using any of the above mention
ed phrases.
That the habit of arraying ones
self in old clothes and appearing be-
fore audience with uncombed hair
and unwashed faces and hand to
catch votes, has played out, and that
we will not vote for any man who
appears in the country with unblack-
ed boots, without a collar or who
does not change his at least every
three weeks.
That it shall be considered a penal
Alfonso for any candidate to kiss a ba-
by, and thereby endanger its life

Poultry Pays.
Cor. Tennessee Farmer /;

Cor. Tennessee Farmer;
am often asked if the poultry bus
mess is not overdone? l think not.
The value of the poultry product is
the largest of any of the agricultural
products in the United States. In
the year 1887 the eggs produced in
this country were worth $3.50, OO0, 900
and the dressed poultry was worth
$l67, OOO, 900, making the combined
egg and poultry produced for that
year worth $517 900 1000. This was
$50, OO0, 900 more than the value of
the entire corn crop of the country
for the same period, $4,000, 900
more than the wheat crop. Still we
import annually $50, 600, 600 worth
of eggs. 1t is not Overdone, the field
immense, with an increasing de-
mand for eggs and poultry and there
is plenty of room for all who wish to
come in. 1t would perhaps pay
some ofour farmers to investigate the
subject a little, especially those who
are getting tired of selling wheat for
GO and 20 cents a bushel that costs
81 to raise. Now these figures will
seem Incredible to many farmers,
as well as others, but they are cor
rect. 1t is also true that poultry
finds no rival only by combining the
the entire meat and dairy products,

A Grand World.

But few people realize how grand

world is Gods child-a hayward
child indeed. 1t has wandered off
through the heavens. But about
eighteen hundred and ninety
years ago, one Christmas night, God
sent out a sister world to call that
wanderer back, and it hung over
Bethlehem only long enough to get
the promise of the wanderers return,
and now that lost world, with soft
feet of light, comes treading back
through the heavens.
