The Oldest White Man.

The oldest white man, probably, in
the United States whose age can be
clearly authenticated, is Eli Gray, who
resides at Roxbury, Delaware County,
n. Y. The records in the Town Clerks
office at Weston, Fairfield County, Conn,
attest the fact that Mr.. Gray was bora
in that town on December 16, 1885, and
while yet youth removed to New York
State. Jay Gould's father was the first
male child born in the town of Roxbury.
Mr. Gray says he remembers the date of
the occurrence, October 3, 1892, and he
was intimate with the family until past
middle age. Mr.. Gray's mother, as is
also shown by the town records of Yves
ton, lived to be 1910 yesrs old. A half
century of Gray's life was spent on the
Gould homestead, near Roxbury. Gray
was small in stature during his prime,
but was wiry and "nervy." He Is the
father of two children. His wife died a
few years ago in the Delaware County
Poor House, At the age of forty Mr..
Gray adopted the course Of "squatting"
upon unoccupied land, and he took an
active part in the anti-rent troubles of
1912. Going into the woods he would
select pleasant location, erect a log
cabin and live there as long as he could
do so without paying rent. The ruins OF
several of these cabins can now be seen.
Mr.. Gray lives in little hut near Rox-
bury aud, though failing mentally and
physically, can still give many reminis-
cences of olden times. The town of Rox.
bury appropriates 1854 yearly for his
care and maintenance. Jay Gould sent
Gray Christmas present Of $50 last year
and takes considerable interest in the old
mans welfare.-St Louis Republic.

Lands in New Mexico.

There are many million Of acres OF
land in New Mexico open to settlers, and
some in moderately favorable locations,
that is, not far from railroads; but you
should keep in mind the fact that the
climate is very dry one, consequently
ordinary farm crops and vegetables re-
quire irrigation in summer, and if you
cannot obtain a good supply OF water
from some never-failing stream near at
hand, your farming would probably end
in total failure. 1t is true, however,
that on some of the low bottom lands
near the streams good crops Of grain aud
vegetables are raised without irrigation,
but such favored spots were long since
appropriated, and those who now occupy
them are well aware of their value. The
principal reason why SO few people go to
New Mexico for the purpose of obtaining
farms is, that the territory is pretty well
covered with old Mexican land grants,
the boundaries of which have never been
we'll defined by the Government survey
ors, consequently there is a great deal of
trouble in getting good titles to land
anywhere near these old grants.-Ne,0

RECIPES.

Brown Bread-This is Michigan re-
cipe; Two quarts unbolted or brown
flour, one small quart Of white -four,
one teacupful brown sugar, one-half tea
cupful of homemade yeast, one-9uarter
teaspoonful of soda; put in the -four and
little salt; stir thick with a spoon; put
in deep bread pans and let rise. Makes
two loaves.
Salad Dressing-SIix together two we'll
beaten eggs, one teaspoonful each of salt
and mustard, one heaping teaspoonful Of
sugar, one large tablespoonful of butter
and cup of vinegar. Heat thoroughly,
stirring all the time; when the egg has
become cooked take it from the fire and
cool it before using. This is excellent
for sliced tomatoes or plain salad of
chopped cold potato, beet and little
onion.
Chicken Wings-A nice dish can be
made from the wings of fowls by stewing
slowly until extremely tender, then make
a PURGE of peas by boiling quantity of
peas, either fresh or canned, in water I'M
til tender, draining and MASKING
through sieve and seasoning with salt,
pepper and butter. Just before MASKING
through the sieve thicken with table
spoonful of -four to every quart of peas.
Wet the -four with cold water and cook
for two minutes. Serve on steak dish
with the wings piled on top.
Fried Mush-Mix one cup of flour with
one quart of Indian meal, then stir it into
"the eye" of one quart boiling water
beat it well or it will be lumpy; add salt
Boil gently two hours, then turn into
dishes which have been dipped into cold
water, and set away to cool. Pans in
which loaves of bread are baked are good
to cool it in, as it then makes handsome
slices. In the morning cut into slices an
inch thick and fry brown in pork fat.
Serve slices of fried pork with it.
Enough may be done at once for several
breakfasts. If you don't wish to fry the
mush do not use the -four and do not
make quite so stiff.

An UnsoIved Problem.

To call right handedness an instinct
may seem to some an evasion of the
question, an explanation which does not
explain, but this criticism is not Just
We call certain phenomena electrical,
though we do not know what electricity
is; and in the same way we may call
Others instructive, though we must con
tent ourselves with defining instinct as
an Unborn impulse to certain actions for
the benefit of the individual or his de-
scen6ilnts, depending neither on reason
nor experience. When we understand
instinct, then, and no sooner, we may
hope to understand right-handedness,
and to know why it is sometimes re-
verSed. - ScriJner.

A Wonderful Magnet.

Probably the largest and strongest
magnet in the world is that at Willetts
Point, New York. 1t came to be made
by accident. Major King happened to
sec two large fifteen inch Dablgren
cannon lying unused side by side on
the dock He Immediately conceived
the idea that magnet Of great power
could be constructed by means Of these
cannon with submarine cable wound
around them. Electricity was used,
and the cannon were converted into a
permanent magnet which stands about
ten feet from the earth, with eight
miles of cable wound around the upper
part Of the guns. 1t takes force Of
twenty-five thousand pounds to pull off
the armature. A crowbar applied to
the magnet required the combined force
Of four men to bear it away. A SEEM
ingly impossible experiment was per
formed with some lifteen-inch cannon
balls. They were as much az a strong
man could lift, yet the magnet held
several Of them in the air suspended
one under the other. An amusing eX-
pertinent was made with big 81 edge
hammer. When one tried to WELD it
in an opposite direction from the
magnet he felt as if he were trying to
hit blow with feather in a gale Of
wind.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
nrNs ARE GREAT ronAeEns.

How many farmers know the quantity
of food hen eats in a year, and, we may
also ask, how many farmers are there
who know how many eggs the hens laid,
or which of the hens laid the greatest
number2 The hens get to all places on
the farm, and find large proportions of
their food of which the farmer knows
nothing, and which never would be re-
covered from the waste of the farm but
for the aid of the hens, which convert
into eggs that which could not be sold at
all. 1t is in this respect that the hens
make themselves profitable, for they
perform the labor of feeding themselves,
and thus are exceptions to other classes
of stock. The farmer receives eggs from
food sources unknown to him, and he
cannot estimate the cost of the product
even if he 80 desired. He secures and
markets the eggs and so far as from
whence they came, or from what material
they were produced, he knows but little.

Alaskan Mosquitoes.

Moss, shrubs and berries grow in
great profusion along Yakutat Bay
shore, and over the moraine a regular
trail was formed at the large brown
bears crossed and recrossed in search Of
food or berries, writes NJ. b. Kerr in
Scribner. The glacial stream divided
into thousand branches and formed
an ideal delta, depositing silt and glacial
debris. Our course took us over a
mountain spur and across an interior
basin about one thousand five hundred
feet in height filed with numerous
lakes and swarming with mosquitoes
Indeed, there were such myriads Of the
latter that IMAGINATION suggested that
each fake Of snow had concealed with
in it a germ, and thus the mosquito
had generated. Here it Is that some
times huge brown bears, driven furry
and desperation by these tormenting
little beasts, finally tear their flesh
and die in agony.

Measure for a Housewife.

A certain vie old lady said to the
writer recently: Il always Judge a
woman by the hearth she keeps. Show
me the fire she sits by. and I'll tell you
her character She was right, as you
will know if you think a minute, says a
writer in the ST. Louis Globe Demo-
Graf. From time immemorial the
CHEEKY hearth has been a symbol Of
home and it's comforts. but when it is
disorderly, unswept or choked with
ashes, it ceases to be JOY or luxury.
The room may be poor and the fire a
tiny one, but if the dog.irons are bright
and erect, the poker, tongs, and shovel
marshalled side by side in military
order, the hearth swept clean, the
bricks as red as scrubbing brush can
make them, and the fire blazing cheer
ily, the scantiness of the furniture will
not matter, aud home will seem the
dearest thing on earth. BY the way,
will anything ever take the place of the
old oren fire place? Beside it the
furnace in the cellar is an abomination,
and the CRATE is a new-fangled make

PHosPHoRIZING GRAIN.

In relation to phosphorizing grain for
killing animals and birds inimical to
crops, a foreign contemporary of the
Prairie Farmer gives the following d.
rections:
''Boil sufficient water to cover 100
pounds of wheat or oats with one pound
of salt When boiling immerSe the grain
aud leave it until it boils three or four
minutes. In the meantime melt one
pound of phOrphorus in ladle of boil
ing water. Then strain the boiling
water from the grain and place the lat
ter quickly in the mixing cask; also
quickly putting in melted phosphorus
with as little water as possible; fasten up
the top of the cask, and roll the cask for
twenty minutes, occasionally turning it
upside down. In this country would
advise you to use a little more phosphor-
us, say one ana quarter pounds TO
hundred pounds of dry grain. 1t is best
laid out in cold and wet weather. If
YOU have lot of water in the mixing
vessel you will find the phosphorus is re-
peatedly washed of the grain. The
proper way is not to have the grain quite
cooked, so as absorption will progress
las you roll the cask) of moisture highly
impregnated with the poison. If the
grain is thoroughly saturated before the
poison is added, it can only at best ad-

VALUE OF THE SOIL NITROGEN.

The value Of the soil nitrogen is some.
thing that few farmers realize. In an
Article in the Royal agricultural Journal
Professor Libson relates a remarkable
instance of this accumulation of nitrogen
in the soil afforded by a swamp soil
analysed during the past year, in which
the nitrogen calculated as ammonia
amounted to as much as two per cent
apart from roots and debris.) OF course,
in soils Of this kind a great part of such
nitrogen, as in this case, was inert, but
could doubtless be made at least partially
available by suitable treatment, in which
the free use of caustic lime would hold a
prominent part. Taking this Soilat only
700 tons TO the acre, the above nitrogen
would be equal to about fifty-six tons of
sulphate of ammonia, worth $3.50. In
the analysis of soils the estimation Of
nitrogen is often of great practical
utility in indicating the most economical
treatment TO be followed. The Pro-
fessOr further remarks that tie whole
question of assimilation of fertilizing ele-
meuts by plants is still somewhat ob-
scuTe, though gradually being elucidated
by science, especially by the compare
lively new field of micro-chemical re-
search. The discovery of the nitrifying
organism in the soil by this means and
the circumstances affecting its action are
especially important and interesting.
That nitric acid, which, as one of the
oldest and strongest, might almost be
taken as the type of mineral acid,
should owe its origin 20 an organism is
very remarkable fact, and one calculated
to invert some of our ideas as to the
chemical constitution of matter. -New
York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Cow manure is better than horse ma.
nure for squash and cucumber vines.
Peas for an early crop need to be got
in as early as the ground can be worked.
Fine rootlets like fine dirt, bear this
in mind when putting out plants, shrubs
or trees.
A change of food will often give the
animals an appetite when everything
else fails.
Many farmers lose every year by not
economIzing well and wasting the by
products of the farm.
If there are bark lice on the trees of
your orchard get them off. scrape the
trees, then whitewash.
Put the coal ashes about the currant
bushes rather than pile them up as an Or
nament about the back door.
Don't plant tree without good roots.
If it lives it will cost more time and
work than you can afford to give an or
binary tree.
A small garden well titled will pay
better than large one allowed to grow
up to weeds. Remember this if your
garden is small.
The seeds of lettuce and early cab
bage, caulihower. celery, tomatoes and
radish should be sown at intervals to
give a succession.
Don't think you can feed COWS on
buckwheat straw with very little hay
and no feed, aud bring them out in the
spring in good condition.
J. s. WOODWARD recommends crude
petroleum as a remedy for scab Oh lice
in sheep. Rub it in thoroughly. He
states that it lacks the irritating qualities
OF the distilled product.
/. The best remedies for that disease
known as depression in agriculture
are to make the soil deep and rich with
high culture and manure; also to keep
good cattle, and tosfarm no more land
than caa be farmed we'll.
