Hints to Housekeepers-

Ham should be broiled very quickly,
and just enough to cook through.
Tin cleaned with paper will shine
better than when cleaned with flannel.
Oilcloths will last longer if one or
two layers of wadded carpet-lining
are laid under them.
Tea leaves are good to scatter over
carpets before sweeping, not only to
freshen the colors, but also to prevent
the dust arising.
Flowers can be kept fresh for some
time if pinch of soda or saltpetre is
added to the water. Wilted roses will
regain their freshness if dipped a min
ute or two in hot water.
A simple means of changing the air
of a sick-room is to open a window at
the top and opening the door, move it
backward and forward rapidly. so as to
insure a current of fresh air from the
window.
Discolored te2 and coffee pots NAV
be cleaned by filling them with water
in which two or three tablespoonfuls of
wood ashes have been placed, and let
ting il boil up then wash thoroughly
with hot soap-suds and rinse.
One may utilize old mating which
is no longer fresh enough to look well,
by putting it under carpets. 1t can be
cleaned perfectly by washing it on
both sides with hot salt and water;
hang it on a line outdoors to drv.
Cheese which instantly and intense
ly redden blue litmus paper should not
be eaten, This is test easy of appli-
cation, and every merchant on cutting
g fresh cheese should make it. If the
cheese is dry. hit of it should be
moistened with waters ANA Lns itmus

Boiled custard requires patience and
care, If the eggs reach the boiling
point. they will break, and yet if they
do not reach it within two or three de-
grees, the custard will not thicken, and
will taste raw, and lack the exquisite
thick smoothness of well-made custard.
To produce this, yet avoid curdling,
therefore, patience, and proceed as
follows: ''Stir the mixture over a mod
crate fire. When you see from the end
of the spoon that it begins to thicken
ct the bottom draw it to a cooler spot
where 1t will not boil, stir half a min
ute. then return to the hotter spot. Do
this several times, checking the ap-
proach to boiling point each time there
is danger until the whole of the mix
ture has reached that point which may
be known by it being rich, thick and
perfectly Opaque.

position to Try That Plan.
MADISON, Wis, Special Telegram,
AT the farmers convention Mr.. Merrick
of Madison created spirited discussion by
advocating the payment of road taxes in
cash rather than permitting it to be worked
by labor as now. Aaron Broughton of
Brodhead fired bombshell by stating that
if the recommendation was carried out we
could have Roman roads, but Roman taxa
ton to pay for them. Farmers work their
own roads and make them at reasonable
rate. He thought if swell villagers wanted
good carriage roads in the country they
should pay for them. Broughton's views
were violently attacked by several speakers
and the prevailing sentiment was plainly
in favor of at least partial cash system.
+. u. Parson of Lake Mills contended in
favor of an ideal horse, which must be
lighter than the present draft horse and
heavier than the trotter. Gen. A. G. Park
inson of Columbus presented an interesting
paper from Minister John Hicks, descript-
i've of agriculture in Peru. Tonight Gen.
George e. Bryant of Madison lauded the
Jersey and G.. e. Gordon of Koshkonong
the Guernsey, while Gov. Howard, III. G.
Thorn, Prof w. A. Henry and others spoke
on different phases of dairying.

horse left yet no part of the Aulse is
more badly used than the foot, and
there are no more frequent diseases
for which a doctor is called than those
of the feet. In my opinion this comes
from unwise cutting. burning, tarring
and greasing the hoofs. The common
practice of burning the sole to procure
fit for the shoe, or rasping, to get a
good shape. and tarring and greasing
the hoof all tend to drive the water out
of the horny substance, and not only
hardens and contracts it, but makes it
brittle. The substance of the frog is
horn, but it is softer and of more open
texture than the sole and crust of the
hoof, and more easily affected. When
deprived of its water it shrinks more
than the solid horn. 1t stands to
reason when the hoof is burned by
hot shoe, that the water in the horn
must be driven out. When the shoe
is to be fitted, the edge or wall sole
should be cut or rasped, and not
burned; the shoe should be fitted to
the loot, not the foot fitted to the shoe.
Artificial Matching of Chickens.
Perhaps no branch of stock raising
has been improved so much or made
as profitable within the past decade as
poultry raising. At the time of the
Centennial the use of incubators was
well known, but they had not been
perfected. At the present day they
are extensively used, and the raising
of early broilers for the New York ana
Philadelphia markets is now leading
industry along the line of the Camden
and Atlantic railroad, and the busi-
ness is increasing. The town of Ham,
monrou has now about thirty broiler
farms, ranging in capacity from 1000
to 5000 broilers every ten weeks, and
at Ellwood and Dunbarton, On the same,
railroad, are two of the largest estab-'
lishments in the United States, the
buildings at the latter point being
nearly one-fourth of a mile in len 9Th, If
placed together, while those at Ham,
montou would reach a much greater
distance. At Smyrna, Del, there is
also very large broiler establish
ment, and other points may be men,
tioued as being interested in the in-
dustry.
The Ages of Animals and Their Gains In
Weight,
The daily gain in weight Of animals
intended for beef varies according to
the breed, the vigor and the manner
of feeding, but there is period ar
rived at when the gain is very little,
The nearer the animal approaches ma
turity the more it consumes proper.
tionately and the less weight gained,
due to the demands of the animal for
bodily support; the smaller the body
the less loss of food in that direction.
The testing of the live and slaughtered
animals at the stock shows that have
been held for several years past ex-
plains that while certain breeds of
cattle are better adapted for producing
the greatest weight of beef to maturity,
no particular breed enjoys monopoly
in that respect, even the grades and
crosses of the several breeds compet-
ing with advantage.

Corn Fodder for Horses.

There seems to be quite difference
of opinion among horsemen as to the
value of corn fodder as a food for
horses. A leading farm paper few
weeks ago cautioned its readers
against feeding horses on corn-staiks,
stating that they would make the
horses coats rough. Mr.. G. w. Will
liams, the breeder and trainer of
Axtell, says that his wonderful colt
had little besides corn stalks for rough
fodder during nearly two winters. He
says he considers corn-stalks the best
fgh fodder he can get for colts. The

A Lava whirlpool.

A party who have been exploring the
crater or lava beds about twenty miles
southwest of Albuquerque have returned
and vouch for the truthfulness of the story
related by J. FL. Beaton and r. W. Lou
don. These two gentlemen stated that
on their way to the Malpais they met a
Mexican who VOLUNTEERED for few dollars
to go and show them what he knew about
the crater. AS general thing the Mex
leans arc superstitious and shun the vicin-
ity of the lava beds, but this man agreed
to go. He pilotcd the A1buquerqueans
to cave on the highest point through
cracks in the floor Of which warm vapor
assembled
Viewing the surroundings for few
seconds the men were startled by low,
rumbling sound, like distant thunder,
and the lava beneath their feet trembled.
The Mexican fled Immediately to the open
air, but before the gentlemen could real
ize it a portion of the bottom of the cave
fell, and they with it, into intense dark
ness. Neither was injured, but the
ground upon which they fell seemed to
sway to and fro. Fortunately one of the
party had a candle and some matches,
and after innumerable attempts to light il
the candle was made to burn.
When light was obtained, lake d
water, black as pitch, lay at their feet
while the opposite shore appeared to b
moving from right to left. It seemed
that they had landed on floating island
or huge mass of lava, which had proba
bly, been eddying around in this strang'
whirlpool for centuries. The Mexican
soon returned to the mouth of the cave
and lowering lariats, by the aid OF thei
horses, pulled the imprisoned explorer
out, Of their bondage, and to the surface
once more. Another party is being or
