FlREslDE FRAGMENTS.

Saving and spending are opposite
qualities, but in buying provisions FOL
the household it may be saving to spend
literally, and one may spend when say
ing.
For ruslSs add the beaten yelks OF
three eggs, one cupful of sugar and
half cupful of butter to about n quart
of bread dough. Mix all we'll together
and mould into cakes. Let them be
rather high and slender, and place them
close together in the pan. Rub the tops
over with mixture of sugar and water,
then sprinkle dry sugar upon them.
Many people like roast beef cold
| quite as we'll as hot. Served with toma-
to sauce and baked potatoes, it makes
an excellent breakfast. Cold mutton,
cut in thin, shapely slices, is q nice
relish for breakfast. If liked hot, boil
the gravy which was left with the meat;
add two or three tablespoonfuls OF
cooked tomato, or tomato catsup; ar.
range the meat evenly on deep platter,
and pour the remainder of the sauce over
it.-Country Gentleman.
House cleaning is with many job
to be dreaded. The reason of this is
often in the manner in which it is car
ricd on. We have seen some houses in
an uproar and muss for q week. And
it is sometimes true, where this is the
case, that things lack a great way from
being in perfect order when the clean

is adopted ''clean as you CO." and do not

Some excellent cooks do not grease
cake tins at all, except for sponge cake
and the kind in which but little butter
is used Instead of greasing-line the
tin with thin paper, white or brown.
While the cake is warm this can be
taken off very easily. Or if the cake
stands in the tin until cold Just place it
in warm oven q few seconds and then
turn bottom up upon the cake board and
the paper will come off without the
least trouble. Then turn the cake and
let stand upon the board until wrapped
and put away for use.-Boston CONNER

There is often great waste in the
kitchen by those who say they tr y hard
to economize. In cooking meat the
water is often thrown out without re-
moving the grease. Scraps of meat are
thrown away because 'only n little is
left, so there is no use in saving it."
Dried fruits are not looked afterand be-
come wormy. Cream is left to mold and
spoil. The tea and coffee canisters are
left open, thereby losing the strength
Of their contents. Bones of meat are
thrown out, when they could be used in
making soup. Sugar, tea, coffee and
Iice are spilled in careless handling.
Soap is left to waste in the water, tubs
are left to fall to pieces, brooms and
mops are not hung up. How much is
wasted by some housewives in these
seemingly small things Yet these
small things amount to CONSIDERABLE

CRATE FOR SHIPPING PIGS.

Shippers Can Get II Hint from This.
The man who receives stock in crates
does not care to pay express on useless
lumber, yet he wishes to have the crate
strong enough to hold his purchase safe
ly until it reaches his farm. Some
woods, like poplar, Eastwood and elm,
are both light and tough and can be
used thinner than pine, but if pine is
thoroughly dried and planed on both
sides q neat light crate can be made
which will hold pigs or sheep securely.
A crate for q two-hundred-pound pig
must be four feet long, thirteen or four
teen inches wide and from twenty-four
to twenty-eight inches high.
When sent by freight it should have
feeding-boX in front, and be nailed to-
gether with wire nails properly clinched.

Ea,nillnr SURROUNDINGS.

The COW should be kept amidst ia
miliar surroundings. Changes of any
kind Will likely affect her yield of
milk A change of Mixers especially
If from a competent milllcr to an in
fcrior one, will affect the COW adversely.
And by the expression inferior we do
not mean simply milker who is an
adept ut drawing the milk. A milker
who Is lot gentle, who does not win the
respect and confidence of the COW, is a
very inferior millker. In some expert
mcnts that have been made it has been
shown that Il good mixer can get from
two hundred to three hundred pounds
M::s milk from q COW in two weeks
thpn poor mixer can get. In other
instances great loss in the quality of
milk was the result of changing to a
poor milker.
Change OF quarters will have det-
rimental effect, n fact that is generally
recognized. The COW is very sensi-
tive creature, and that is something
which some people act as II they did
not know. Take u COW from ono farm
to another, give her the very same care
that she has always had, feed her upon
the same food and let her be MIXED by
the same person to whom she Is accus-
toned, and at first she will likely fall off
in yield and likely show decrease in
quality. The lesson Is plain enough.
Let the management Ge as regular us
possible. - Western Rural.

SMUT IN GRAIN.
A Danish Professors Experiments in De.
stroylng 1t.


stroying 1t.
Danish experimenter, Prof. Jensen,
has made extensive tests of the efficacy
of hot water in killing off the spores OF
smut adhering to various kinds oil
grains. The conclusion of his expert
ments is, says the Country Gentleman,
that it is only necessary to dip the seed
to be sown in water heated to the tenn.
perature of 1872 degrees Fahrenheit
1t is best, however, to dip the grain first
into vessel with the water at 110 de.
grees, and from that into the second
vessel with the water heated to 1872 de.
grees. If there is only small quantity
of grain to be treated, the dipping can
be done upon a kitchen stove in kettles
Of the ordinary sort, q thermometer bo.
ing employed to denote the tempera-
lures. The grain is placed in a sack,
through the fabric of which water easily
passes, and the whole dipped into the
first kettle with the water at 110 de.
grees. After remaining here for few
minutes the sack of grain should be re.
moved and immersed in the hotter waite,
of vessel No. g. The only pc!nt to be
thought of in this connection is the
movement of the sack sufficiently that
the hot water may pene trate between
the grains and reach the whole surface
of all the contents of the bag. After a
few repeated immersions by lifting and
lowering the bag it is removed, and the
grain plunged into cold water From
the cold water the grain should be
spread out to dry, after which it is ready
for sor.'rr.
Sh,.ula there be large quantity to
treat, it may be best to have two large
vats or kettles holding barrel or more
of water each, when grain sacks can be
used for the dipping. Care should be
taken that the temperature OF the hotter
water be always between 130 degrees
and 135 degrees f. The principal use of
the first vessel is to prevent q consider
able cooling of the hotter water that
would be caused by plunging the dry,
cool grain directly into it. This treat.
ment need not be delayed until sowing
time, but can be given any day, even in
the comparative leisure of the early
spring before the hurry of seeding time
arrives.
The following are Prof. Kellerman's
conclusions from a large number of field
tests of various remedies for smut: 1.
Treatment of the seed with hot water
by the Jensen method completely pre-
vented the smut in every case, and inn
proved rather than diminished the GER
minating power of the seed and the
vigor of the plants. 2. Treatment with
a solution of copper sulphate (blue Wit.
riol or blue stone) four ounces to one
gallon of water for eighteen hours, pre-
vented the smut but greatly injured the
seed.

4 Cheap Feed.

Fourteen different rations or combs.
nations of food have been used in ,eed-
ing milch cows at the Massachuse:, {
experiment station during the past fer
years. The tests have been very acct
rate. The cost of the rations is bas I'd
on corn meal at S22.75 per ton, wheat
bran at S2l, hay Mt SIS and corn stoNer
at So per ton. The cheapest feed con-
sisted of 81 pounds each of corn meal
and wheat bran, b pounds of hay aad
1914 pounds of well-curel corn stovvr,
the total cost being a fraction over ID
cents per head daily. This food con-
tanned manurial elements worth 6 cepts,
SO that its actual net cost was only a
traction over 794 cents per COW daily.
The yield OF milk averaged nearly as
high as when the cows weie fed on a
more expensive ration. This food csn-
tanned pound of nitrogenou, matter to
74 pounds of sugar, starch, etc. Il he
next cheapest feed was made tlp of ~
pounds each of corn meal, wheat bsan
and glaten meal, with 1714 pc rnds of
well-cured corn stover, costing 15.& cei! It's
Tor each COW daily. The manurial value
was about cents, so that the net cSst
was - cents. for the food for each e Nv

LIGHT PRODUCES SOUND.
A Wonderful Discovery In Science Mac
Within n Year or Two.

Wonderful Discovery In Science Made
Within n Year or Two.
One of the most wonderful discoveries
in science that has been made within
the last year or two is the fact that a
beam OF light produces sound. A beam
Of sunlight is thrown through lens on
glass vessel that contains lampblack,
colored silk or worsted, or other sub
stances. A disk having Sits or open
ings cut in it is made TO revolyc swiftly
ln.this beam OF light, so as to cut 1t up,
thus making alternate flashes of light
and shadow. On putting the ear to the
glass vessel, strange sounds are heard
So long as the flashing beam is falling
on tho vessel Recently Il more won
derful discovery has been made. a
beam of sunlight is made to pass
through prism. so as TO produce what
is called the solar spectrum, or rainbow.
The disc is turned, and tie colcred light
of the rainbow is made to break through
it. Now, place the ear to tho vessel
containing the silk, wool or other ma
terial. As the colored lights of the
spectrum fall upon it sounds will be
given by different parts of the spectrum,
and there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, If the vessel contains red
worsted, ana the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds will be given. Only
feeble sounds will be heard when the
red and blue PARTS of the rainbow fall
upon the vessel, and other colors mako
no SOUNDS ut all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light Every kind of
material gives more or less sound IN
different colors, and utters no g und in
others. The discovery is a strange one,
and 1t is thought more wonderful things
will como from it.--Art Journal

SWINE COUGH.
Some Valuable Suggestions From n Stock
Raiser on This Subject.

Some Valuable Suggestions From n Stock
Raiser on This Subject.
Cough is the most common ailment
among swine and one the least general
ly understood. Many hog-raisers be-
lieve it is sure forerunner of cholera,
when it is related to that disease but
incidentally. Different forms of dis
ease may cause cough, but the prevail
ing cause is cold contracted the same as
in the human family. 1t is very com
mon for early pigs to catch cold from
wading in water and mud. If they
come out of warm bed and have to go
into mud and water at once they are
nearly sure to contract cold, the
temperature of the body is changed SO
suddenly. Another theory is that
sleeping in dust causes cough. This is
not necessarily the case, for many pigs
and hogs sleep in dust without cough
ing. In summer pigs contract cold from
excessive heat just the same as we do
ourselves. Indeed, the same causes
which produce cough in the human
family will do so in swine, for the vital
organs and general circulation are
similar. Hence they need only to be
subjected to similar influences to show
similar results. Pigs contract cold and
cough more readily than larger hogs;
and likewise children are more liable to
colds than adults. Sudden changes in
the atmosphere, chilly winds, and cold
rains will produce cold and cough.
Change in sleeping places-even from
very poor to very good bedding-is an
other cause. During the war soldiers
returning on furlough from the tented
field and sleeping in feather beds con-
tracted the severest colds. If swine
sleep too warm cough is sure to follow
as result The extreme heat of sum-
mer is another cause.
Breeders often get letters from Gus
toners stating that pigs shipped to
them have cough. This is often true,
although the pigs did not cough before
shipment. The changes and exposure
during transit cause cold and cough
1t is quito frequent when pigs are
shipped in winter that they are trans
ferred from Il hot car TO express wagons
hauled to offices, and then set out on
sidewalks for hours to await the arrival
of customers. Then the pigs are put
crates and hauled for miles. Is it any
wonder they cough? Or rather is it
not a wonder that they live?
In most cases nature throws off
colds; but when colds continue / have
used the following remedy with graft
flying results: Pulverized licorice, /
pound elecampane, l pound; black
antimony. Y pound; sulphur, a
pound pulverized resin, \ pound
copporas a pound; asafedita, 4
pound. For pig one teaspoonful in
slop twice day. Pine tar in trough is
also valuable addition. This formula
is the result of my study of pigs cough.
ing and the uses of common medicines.
1t has proved elfectual in every case for
me as well as with several other breed
ers who have tried It'd. l.. Thomas,

1t should not be forgotten that tSe
sole end of pig breeding is to attain a
large quantity of meat of good quail ty
in as short space of time as possibl e.
The greatest quantity can not be cb-
tanned without breed and suitable feed
ing. nor can we expect quality without a

BRAZILIAN FASHIONS.
Eow the People Dress When They Dres,
at All.

Eow the People Dress When They Dress
ut All.
If each coast town has its character
ts tic colony, so also each has its own
fashions of dress for the swarming black
population. i have noticed a process of
evolution in costume as ] have come
down from the equator. The negro
children at Para and Maranhao were
stark naked. At Pcrnambuco and Bahia
they have calico dresses. The men be-
gan with pair of trunks or short trou-
sers, without hat, shoes, shirt, or coat;
at Mardnhao they added loose-titting
shirt, tapping over the trousers; at
Pernambuco ragged coat went over
the shirt and a torn straw hat covered
the head and at Bahia shoes and stock
ipgs almost complete the costume of
negro laborer. Only the waistcoat re-
mains to be provided, and perhaps may
find that ct Rio. The costume of women
has been developed in the same progress
i've way. AT the start there was tunic or
chemise, with head and feet bare. Furth-
erd down the coast calico skirt and waist
were thrown over the tunic, and shoes
were worn. At Bahia light shawl or
wrap is thrown over calico suits of the
gayest colors and patterns, and there is
a lavish display of cheap bracelets,
brass earrings and amulets. At Rio |
am prepared to see handkcrchiefs and
fans. These are the costumes of the
lowest class of blacks. With education,
respectable employment, and social
equality, the dress of the negroes and
mulattoes changes, until it is hardly dig
tinguishable from that of the native
Brazilians and Portuguese. A black
who has risen above the level of his
race is scrupulously careful to initiate
in detail the costume of his equal, the
Portuguese white. lie wears ordinarily
a silk or black felt hat broadcloth
cutaway coat of black, and pantaloons
and waistcoat of white duck. Even the
lowest classes of blacks in Bahia are
superior to any other negroes whom
have yet seen in Brazil The women who
hawk fish or pineapples in the streets
are marvels of physical development
and grace and they walk like Greek god
desses. With purple, pink or blue
waists, but low in the neck, they dis
play arms of the finest modelling, and
development of muscle and sinew and
an erect and queenly carriage which
must be the envy and despair of Brazil

The handle by which it is manipulated
should of course be somewhat longer
than the projection at the opposite end,
which is inserted in an auger hole to
hold it in place. The roller should be
carefully turned and then planed in to
six or eight-sided figuse. This will
be the NEST difficult part to make, and
had best be intrusted to the local cab
met or wagon maker. This table must
have boards about three inches high at
the edges and slope in such way that
the buttermill1 will drain off. 1t must
incline from the person using it. At the
narrow end of the table, where the but
termilk is to escape, few small grooves
should be cut with gouge.
