He Drew the Line at Eiephant,s Eggs

Pat 'Maher, the wild Irishman of
Vine street hill has long borne the
reputation of being the champion egg
eater Of this. city, and boasts that he
once ate six dozen raw eggs, shells and
all, at one sitting. But the boys got
the best of Pat one evening recently.
AS usual, they offered to give him all
the liquor he could drink if he would
swallow certain number Of eggs.
EAT dozen eggs, sh: lis and all, in
our presence, and you can get drunk at
our expense" said the spokesman of
the FOUNDERS. e..
WAN dozen hin eggs!" exclaimed
Pat, with contemptuous laugh. "Why,
that will be nothin' but lunch. Ho,
no, ho!" -.
"'We didn't say hen eggs. You are to
eat one dozen eggs of whatever kind are
furnished you"
Gall roight, boys, Tn wild yez. Dim
just as equal t. goose er turkey eggs uz
Oh am t the fruit o TIL hin. O'm ready,
lads. Trot out yer bauket." .t.
The "boys" did. They went over to
the bar and procured monstrous os-
trich egg that had long ornamented
the sideboard. It was fully seven inch
es long and four inches in its smallest
diameter. The contents of the shell
had of course long been removed, but
this fact was not apparent on casual
inspection. The egg was carefully
carried to the table by which sat Mr..
Maher, beaming and smiling over the
free drunk which was soon to be his.
Here's the first egg, Pat" said the
spokesman, quietly; @the walters will
be along with the other eleven pres
emily"
Mr.. Maher gazed with bulging eyes
at tie giant egg, then at the gang,
each of whom preserved an impassive
face. Solemnly he pushed his chair
back from the table, buttoned his coat,
and fixed his battered plug firmly on
his head. Then, with one reproachful
finger directed at the shell upon the
table, he said:
"Boyssi;'s not roight, it's not roight.
Oh didn't ask that thin eggs be all hin
eggs. Oh would a'been satisfied wild
dook eggs or goose eggs-onything in
rason. But whin We bring tn progeny
nv til Elephant before me it is tonne
foor me to renounce me bargain wild We.
Oh wudn't eat wan O them illyphant
eggs if Oh cud."
Pat got no free liquor that evening.

HOME MADE CHEESE.

The first requisite is good milk, and
that presupposes good feed for the COWS.
If there are wild onions or other weeds
that flavor the milk unpleasantly it is un-
fitted for cheese. Everything used about
cheese making should be clean and fresh.
The best rennet have used is Chr.
Hansens rennet tablets. No. 2 is the
most convenient size where there is only
a small amount of milk. If you are not
convenient to some city it will be best to
send to some reliable firm for these.
Country dealers are apt to ask too much.
A druggist asked me $3.50 for box of
fifty last summer. The regular price is
fifty cents.
A dairy thermometer is quite neces-
sary, and q wooden or tin or zinc hoop.
The size should correspond to the
amount of milk you expect to use daily.
Eight inches in height and diameter will
be large enough for scventy-tive to 100
pounds of milk. If there is not milk
enough in one milking to make the
cheese the size you wish, the nights
milk can be set away and warmed with
the mornings milk. Itshould be heated
to ABOUT eighty-hve degrees. One No.
rennet tablet dissolved in teacupful
of cold water will coagulate 100
pounds OF ;-:ilk in less than an hour, if
the milk is of the average
quality. When it is curdlcd cut
with knife in small chunks that the
whey will separate readily. suppose you
can buy watts from which you can drain
the whey conveniently and presses that
are more costly and handy than those we
use on Kansas farms. But as only made
cheese for home use and with as little
expense as possible, l will own that l
dipped the curds into clean -four sack
and hung it in cool place till well
drained, then put clean cheese cloth
into the hoop and the curd well incased
in that; then covered with a board that
just fitted the hoop, and placed a jar that
also fitted the hoop on the board and
filed the jar with stone and f1at-irons,
etc. about 100 pounds to each ten pounds
of checse-not all put on at once, but
added gradually during the first half day,
with care to keep the cheese straight.
After twenty-four hours the cheese
should be turned the other side up and
again pressed. When taken from the
press it should be kept in cool, dry
place and turned over every day.
have only made cheese two summers,
and though they were in great demand
(at homel, yet would like to improve,
and hope some one who has had more
experience will improve on my 'dircc
tions. ."-Fmm, Field and StOckn'an.

Rejected Gems.

It is q matter of history that some
of the finest poetry ever written has
had a narrow escape from the limbo
of things lost on earth" One of the
greatest poets that ever lived came
within an ace of being the mute, in.
glorious Milton" for his almost divine
epic found little favor with the book
sellers of his day, and was finally sold
for about the sum which tirst-class
poet of the present day would expect
for poem of forty or fifty lines. In
that day, as in ours. every leading
publishing house kept a critic" on
whose fiat the fate of an authors manu-
script depended, and then, as now, the
readers" of such blishments some
times made terrible mistakes.
It is our deliberate opinion that had
the Paradise Lost" been submitted to
certain regularly employed critics of
the present time instead of to the
Grub street gentlemen of the seven
teenth century, it would have been
pronounced, as of yore, dull and
tedious production. Byron, as We all
know, was mercilessly snubbed by the
literary Jupiter of the Edinburgh Re-
Uiew, and. Rev. Charles Wolfe's ex-
quisite @Ode on the Burial of Sir John
Moore" was so scornfully rejected by a
leading periodical of the time that the
author, in sending it to provincial
Irish newspaper, timidly withheld his
name lest he should be cauterized by
the press. But the public, better
critic than any cynic in foolscap uni
form turned up with ink, Unexpectedly
franked him for Immortality.
There is an enormous amount of
humbug in modern criticism-quite as
much as in the criticism of days gone
by. The fact is that the ability to de-
eide intellgently whether o work will
succeed or fail is not an art, but gift,
and very few possess it. Mere book
men know very little about the tastes
of the community. If you want an
opinion as is an opinion" on what you
have written, go to man who under
stands human nature and, though he
may never have seen the inside of a
college, he will be apt to tell you truly
how the world will receive your offer

a Hint to Anglers.

The angler should take care Of his fish
after he has caught them. 1t is discrcd
liable to fetch back lot of sun and wind
dried trout, all curlel up ana stiff. Put
a handful of grass or ferns at the bottom
of the crccl. and kill the fish as soon as
caught by hitting them sharp blow on
the back of the head. If the weather is
hot clean tie mornings catch at noon,
and every few hours dip the creel in the
stream. The best way to keep trout to
take home is as follows: Clean them
thoroughly, taking care to remove the
gills and the blood under the backbone; {;
wipe them dry, inside and out, but do
not wash them; sprinkle them inside
with black pepper, but on no account
use salt. Pack in cool, fresh grass, and
keep them in the shade. If ice is used
it should be pat in tin can, or at least
at the bottom of the crcel, for it spoils
the flavor of trout to have them soaking
in watcr.-I Forest and Stream,

A Parrot that Doesn't Like Chestnuts.

A friend tells this story about par
rot and vouches for its truth. 1t must
have been a. wonderful bird that, but
belonged to one of those fellows who
are always in hard luck. One day he
found himself reduced to hard pan in
the way of finances and left his green
hued exile from Afric's coral strand
at his "uncle's." Every day after that
when he passed the shop the parrot
would be hanging over the door and
would cry out in beseeching tones:
"Pete, Pete, when are you going to
. take me out?"
Another peculiarity of his was that
whenever any one said "hullo" to him
he would reply:
"Hullo, but for Gods sake don't ask
me if I want any crackers. ."-ProUi-
dence Telegram.

WATER FOR FOWLS.

Did YOU ever notice how often hen
will 60 to vessel of water to get drink,
if it be convenient, in course of an hour
If yoa put fresh lot Of water before
fowls, did you ever watch the eagerness
manifested to get there first? When
such need of drink is so plainly seen,
does it not seem a cruel thing to let
hours, days or even weeks pass without
furnishing the necessary supply3 1t is
stated that three-fourths of the compost
tion of the egg is water. When the hen
is not conveniently supplied with the
necessary article do you suppose she can
derive enough moisture from what she
can gather about the yard to manufacture
an egg every day, or even every other
day2 All who are interested in the COM
fort and welfare of the creatures around
them will do what they can to alleviate
the suffering that may result from thirst.
Those who have not the time to supply
fresh water every day or two can con-
struct fountain in some shaded place
which will furnish supply until the
water is exhausted. Take ten-gallon
keg with a small auger so that row OF
them may be close to the bottom. Con-
struct cover to this, the rim of which
may be an inch and Il half larger in
diameter THAI the head of the keg, and
deep enough to cover the holes. Fill the
keg with water from the perforated end,
place the water-tight cover on it, invert
it. and the water will rise in the extra
width of the cover until the holes are
covered, and there it will stand, three
quarter inch trough all around the keg, a
fountain which will keep fresh in the
shade, and into which the fowls cannot
step, and thus befoul the water with
their feet.-Dakot0 Farmer.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Clean, careful culture. compensates.
Feed hellebore to the currant worms.
Bad farm hands contaminate children.
Grow something to show at the fair.
If the soil is dry, cover seeds deeper
than when it is moist.
Neverforget that pigs in clover enjoy
themselves and grow.
Large growing trees should not be
planted in small yards.
A well-fed sucking pig is worth two or
three half-starved runts.
The old rule is to plart corn when the
apple tree is in blossom.
A wise farmer learns from his mistakes
as we'll as from his successes.
Look over last years bean poles, and
if you need more get them ready.
Having begun fruit growing, stick to
it. 1t is not business to be picked up
one day and dropped the next.
Constant nagging wears away the
spirit of the best farm team, precisely as
it wears out the patience of men and
women subjected to its painful infu-
ence.
Do not dose yourself or your stock
with medicine for every little ill. Diet
and rest. Sleep, and moderately empty
stomach are the best medicines in the
world.
"We churned sweet cream two hundred
times and sour cream the same number,
as an experiment, and failed to find any
regular difference in yield Of butter" says
the american Dairyman.
Fruit trees, pear trees particularly,
should grow rapidly when young, and
not bear much, in order to attain size
and bear heavy crops through long
lives. Early bearing dwarfs and weak
ems.

The borers or grubs may be kept out
of peach trees by washing the bark with
linz wash in which few drops of car
bolic acid are mixed. This should be
applied at once and renewed if it is worn
off by the weather until July or August.
Mnrcurial ointment is poisonous, and
it is the cause of the slabbering or saliva
tiou of the COW. 1t is not the best
remedy for lice, either, as a mixture of
equal parts of sweet oil or rlinseed oil with
kerosene is more effective and is per-
fectly safe.
The handspring of farming is the seed.
1t is more important to secure good seed
thun to prepare for its reception in the
soil. The failure of seed to germinate
may cost the farmer the loss of an entire
crop. The seed is something that the
farmer should carefully examine now.
Every farmer should raise pigs and
cure his own bacon. There is no meat
equal to that produced at home. You
will at least know what you are eat

of home raised meat, as only healthy,
thrifty stock will be used for home sup
ply.

says: "My poultry pay all my family

of my chickens as some people do of
