FARM NOTES.

\ writer in Our Dumb Animals saws
that whenever a horse driven by himself
has baked he has got out of his carriage
and gone To its fore foot, lifted it from the
ground and struck the shoe a few blows
with a stone. He has never failed to start
horse in that very simple way. and he
has, on several occasions, had balky horses,
which had exhausted the patience of all
former owners.
Last year total of 3. 80, 600 cattle were
slaughtered in the West, against 1850. 900
in the preceding year, an increase of -
per cent. This fairly represents the rate of
growth. OF this total by far the greater
part is for consumption in this country,
probably one-seventh of it going abroad.
inasmuch as the aggregate weight of beef,
exclusive of tallow, exported last year was
39S, 2l6,56l pounds.
Coal ashes do not contain any material
of value for plant foods. They are made
up mostly of silica, of which there is al
ready plenty in the soil. However. it is
valuable on many soils, in that it may inn
prove their physical condition. On heavy
land they have tendency to keep the soil
loose and light, while they make light land
more retentive. They are most excellent
as mulch around currant bushes and 9TH
er fruit plants.
a new industry is likely to be developed
i'll Florida in growing cocoanutS, to which
the lower half of the state is well adapted.
After planting the nut to the depth of
three feet, and gradually filling around the
shoot as ii comes to the surface, the cocoa
nut tree requires no further care. In from
five to eight years it begins to bear, and
will thereafter yield yearly 100 to 200 nuts
per tree for half-century or more. Ow-
ing to the depth to which it is planted, the
cocoanut tree is never uprooted, but in vio-
lent storms, which often prevail in tropical
regions, its trunk is gnarled and twisted,

II Is the Busy People who Have the
Time.


Busy people always seem to have plenty
of time. Their day is only "a hours long.
yet out of that "a hours-l440 moments
they find space for an astonishing amount
of work. They are never afraid to under
take new thing. They have always few
minutes to give to friend. They will Sc
cure an hour for some congenial occupa-
ton. 1t is to the busy men you go. asking
can they take part in this new project.
Certainly; state what you would like done.
or how you wish it, and they will lend a
hand. Why, if you so desire, they will take
time to tell you just what you ought to be-
gin, and how to manage it. And when one
piece of work is accomplished they pass to
the next with perfect readiness. and calm
confidence in their own ability.
Yes. strange to say, the people who never
have time to do anything are those who
never have anything to do. They would
start this scheme. take part in that transac-
ton, if they only had little more time
They would be So glad to pay these calls,
only too delighted to give that help. to learn
a language, or to read a book. but they
cannot make the time. And while they
lament their lack of it, all the time they
had is gone, and their plans are still un-
finished.
After all, what more time have the busy
than the idle? Has not each of us tolay?
Has not each of MS all the time there Isl?

ESCALOPED FISH.

When the fish had been freed from bones
and broken up into flakes il was found
that there was generous half-pint. This
was seasoned with half teaSpOOnful of
salt and about One-tenth of teaspoonful
of pepper. y sauce was made by cooking
together until smooth and frothV, half
tablespoonful of butter and scant half
tablespoonful of -four A gill and a half
of cold milk was gradually added to this,
and the whole was allowed to boil for one
minute. The sauce was seasoned with a
scant Tablespoonful of salt and a little
pepper. Into a small dish that held about
a pint was put a layer of the sauce: then
came layer Of the fish, then layer of the
sauce, then the remainder of the fish.
which was covered with the rest of the
sauce. Over this was sprinkled four table
spoonfuls of grated bread crumbs and on
the crumbs was put half teaspoonful of
butter, broken into small bits. The dish
was put away until the time to cook it,
when it was baked for 20 minutes in mod
crate oven.
The rule given for escaloped fish can be
used as the foundation for many combna-
tons. A cupful of any kind of cold meat
can be used instead of the fish. Or, it may
be that there is only half a cupful. This
can be used for the foundation. the dish
being finished with layer of mashed po-
tatOes, boiled rice, boiled hominy or boiled
macaroni. In case of using meat and any
of these vegetables there should be gen
erous supply of sauce, which must always be
made in the proportions that were given for
the fish; but the liquid can be milk or
stock. 1t is an error to think it will do to
pour little milk or stock on the meat or
fish. The dish will be much richer in ap-
pearance and flavor with the thickened sauce
than if only the liquid and seasoning be
added.

AN ARRANT HUMeUG.

The Idea That Age Lends Great Value to
Wines without Foundation.
Now, what are the real facts about old
winesi asks the Mirror After fermenta-
ton, which is process OF decay, wine will
deteriorate unless preventive measures
are taken, such as keeping the wine in a
cool or even temperature, the addition of
alcohol, boiling Ohe vinum cottum Of the
Ror.ans and tho vino cotto Of modern Ital-
ian3l, and the complete exclusion of the or
dinary atmosphere by good corks, by seal
lhg-waK or by oil. The most common
method for preserving wine in modern
times is by adding alcohol and by corlSiny
and sealing. The alcohol in wines prepared
for England is often in such proportions
That the wine ceases 10 be any thing like the
juice OF the grape, and too often ia as
strong as glass Of brandy and water But
with all these precautions there is "A time
when even the best Of wines lose their
character.
When first went 10 reside in Portugal a
| present was made me of few bottle of
port wine, of the famous vintage of 1870
Fort wine, having naturally more sugar,
has consequently more alcohol aud thus
more OF resistance To decay aud dctcrioru
ton, This port, when | drank IL, was in ils
iftioth year, and it had become the color OF
T.,
winter than the port Of the vintage Of 1871
About the same time also tasted some port
VINE that was nearly seventy years Old Ii
was nearly white, and seemed 70 have no
great wine chQracter In 1871 Mr. Rabcllo,
the brazilian Consul at OpOrtO, made me u
present Of several bottles of port wine Of
tho vintage OF l1H Mir. Uuhcllo had heard
OF the breaking up Of an old Porturucso
family where, from father to son, a certain
number Of bottles of famous vlntugcs had
boon handed down, ! sent sovornl If these
aged wines TO the late William Cullen Dry
ant, rcmQrkipg that the bottle of ii,JWay,
according TO the onuyclopWih, OF his own
age, but the poet, In acknowledging the re-.
eepuon Of the wine, stated that i, was his
senior, and that no should look up 10 il with
reverence.
When came 10 open my bottle OF l1Q3,
found II (which once had the dark red of
porto about the color of water, and the most
lnsipld stun. Up to the beginning OF this
routury IL was not the custom in any part
of Europe 90 put u lut OF ilory alcohol into
any kind Of wine, and whom they dll add
spirit to port wine 1t was u lit,lo OF that
which had been distilled from port This
iiWi wino had probably been thus treated,
but with all the sealing YAK aud "A once
good cork the beverage was "a uuviuuus
and tastoless rs If It had been watcr dipped
up from pond and bottled. Therefore /
doubt II the Bavariau wines so scdulously
advertised IN England as those OF 1910,
1910 ANA 1881 hayo any virtue lu them even
II they be genuine wines Of those dates
They are really iusipld stun not worth a

MEMPHIS GOVERNMENT.
How the Metropolis Of Tennessee Cease,
70 BE a MnniclpaIltr.

Charles Dudley Warner, writing in Har
psr's hdcrz ne about Memphis and her prin
cipal troubles, explains Under these cir
cumstances the city resorted 10 a novel ex
pcdiont II surrendered its charter 10 the
State, and ceased 10 exist as a municipality.
The leaders Of this movement gave two
reasons for 1.-THE wish not 10 rcpudiate
the city debt, but 10 gain breathing-time,
and that municipal government in this
country is failure. The Legislature erect
cd the former Memphis into the taxing dis
trct of Shelby County, and provided a
government for it, This government con
si5ts of legislative council Of eight
members, made up Of the Board Of Fire and
/ Police Commissioners, consisting Of three,
npd the Board Of Public Works, consisting
| Of five. These are all elected by popular
/ vote TO serve a term Of four years. but the
Z elections arc held every two years, 80 that
/ the council always contains members who
have had experience. The Board Of Fire
and Police Commissioners elects presi-
dent, who is the executive officer Of the
| taxing district, and has the power and
duties Of a mayor; he has a salary Of two
thousand dollars, inclusive Of his fees as
police magistrate, and the other members
Of his board have salaries Of five hundred
Public Works serve without compensation.
No man can be eligible 10 either board who
has not been a resident Of the
district for five years. In addition,
there Ia Board Of Health, appointed
by the council This government has
the ordinary powers Of a city govern
ment. defined carefully in the act, but it
can not run the city In debt, and it can not
appropriate the taxes collected except for
the specific purposes named by the State
Legislature, which specific appropriations
are voted annually by the Legislature on
the recommendation Of the council. Thus
the government II the city is committed 10
eight men, and 'se execution Of its laws 20
one man, the president Of the taxing dis
trict, who has extraordinary power The
final success Of this scheme w.ll be watched
with great deal Of interest by other cities.
On the surface ii can be seen that it de-
ponds upon securing non-partisan council,
and an honest, conscientious president Of
the taxing district--that is TO say, upon
the choice by popular vote Of the best eight
men TO rule the city. Up TO this time with
only slight hitches, it has worked exceed
ingy well, as will appear in a consideration
Of the condition Of the city. Thc slight
hitch mentioned was that the president
was accused Of using temporarily the sum
appropriated for one city purpose for an
other.

decided that Memphis had not evaded its
