HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

Rice Croquettes: Boil half cup Of
milk and stir into 1t a cup of cold,
boiled rice, tablespoonful of butter,
and half teaspoonful of salt, When
It boils add an egg well beaten, and
cook two minutes longer. When the
mixture is cold make into rolls or balls
dip in egg and cracker crumbs and fry
in hot fat.-Ladies' Home Journal
-Spiced Corn Beef: After using
corned beef for dinner, while warm,
chop the fat and lean together, not very
fine, but so that they may be well
mixed, then stir in enough made mus
tard or French mustard to spice it suffi-
GENTLY, and place it in an open pan that
will take in an inverted plate on the
top. Set weight on it and put in a
cool place to harden. This makes a
compact loaf from which slices can be
cut.-Orange Judd Farmer.
Boston Brown Bread: One and one
half teacups -four, one and one-half tea
cups cornmeal, one and one-half teacups
rye or Graham flour, two and one-half
cups milk, slightly sour, one-half cup
sirup, little salt, one teaspoonful
soda; mix with spoon, place in two
quart basin; steam three hours. If there
is neither rye nor Graham -four at hand,
make it with two cups of -four and two
and one-half of meal, and the rest as
above given.-Boston Budget.
Boiled Onions: Remove the outer
dry and wilted peeling, put into cold
water, let come to a boil, turn off the
water and add sufficient fresh boiling
water to cook them for an hour, when
they should be very tender. Bring to
the boiling point sufficient cream to
nearly cover them, salt to taste, and
pour on the onions, which should have
been carefully drained. Serve at once.
Onions soon discolor when left standing,
and require an immediate use when
prepared for the table-Housekeeper
-Candied Oranges: Candied oranges
heaped prettily on glass or china dish
are an attractive addition to the dessert
table. Get nice, sweet oranges. Peel
and quarter them without breaking so
the juice will not escape. Make strip
of one pint of water with one pound of
sugar, boil this and bring it to the cam
dying point Dip the pieces of orange
in this sirup and place them on sieve
to drain. The sieve should, of course,
be placed over a platter or some con-
venient dish to catch the drippings so
they will not be wasted. Let the oranges
remain in a warm place until the can
died sirup is crystalized. - Prairie

FARMER AND PLANTER.
REDUCTION OF ACREAGE.

views of r. t. Nesbltt, Commissioners of
Agriculture of Georgia, on the Necessi-
ty of Reducing the Acreage Planted to
Cotton.
1t is with pleasure that comply with
your request to send you an article on
the present status of the cotton ques-
ton. In it my object will be to show
the farmers as briefly and clearly as
may be: First, that there is now on
hand too much cotton for the worlds
needs. Second, that if we increase the
crop in the same proportion for 1891-92
as in 1690-91, we can calculate on ale
most certain disappointment as to re-
munerative returns.
To prove the first proposition-that
is, that the supply is now greater than
the demand-we have only to examine
the following table, in which, it will be
noted, the calculations are made for
400-pound bales. Here we see that up
to 1SS9-9O the increase in the American
crop about supplied the increase in the
worlds consumption, the crops of other
countries never going materially over
100000 bales. But in 1s90-91 the
American crop, instead of increasing at
the usual rate, made sudden jump to
1O,S75, 900 40O-pound bales THAT is, g.
500, 900 5O0-pound bales), leaving sur
plus of 1,275,OOO 4OO-pound bales, or l.
O00,0 of our 5O0-pound bales.
The estimates in the table for 1S9O-91,
are based on the most reliable reports
that can be obtained; the official figures
will not be published until September
of this year.
Following is the table alluded to:

MONROE.

G. L. Burr of Cutters Farms nearly
lost pair of oxen in consequence of
little piece of deception by his hired man,
who said that he had picked the corn.
Two pairs of oxen were turned into the
stalks, remaining there two days before
it was discovered that he had left a large
part of it unpicked. One pair of oxen
has been very sick, but is getting better.
Such conduct ought to be rewarded as it
deserves.

Y, has visited her uncle, Rev A. Colds

Some of Albert Wheeler's friends visit

freight house. Mr. Braley will also move
the freight house at Southport to its per-

The New York Times is worth the two
and-a-half millions Mr. Jones refused.
The Tribune is worth that, too. Each

large investment and yields an income
almost rivaling the newspaper profits.

take less for the World. Here are five
morning newspapers worth, say, thirty

would add, perhaps, five million dollars.

Prof E. w. Hall, librarian of Colby
university, has in his possession several
pieces of continental money which have
an interesting history. The scrip is about
the size of a postal note and is printed in
two colors, red and black. The engrav-
ing would not be called artistic now, but
was probably model in its day. Near
ly 100 years ago, Prof Halls grandfath-
er sold his farm in Massachusetts and
started for Maine. He received for the
farm $4,000 in Continental scrip. 1t took
him quite time to make the journey. as
he travelled with an oxteam and he final
1y settled at Gorham. During that time,
however, the currency had so depreciat-
ed that not foot of land could he buy
with it. For several hundred dollars he
did manage to get piece of leather to
tap his shoes, but not bit of real estate
could he get with it. The pioneer did
the next best thing; he kept the money.
And most of it has been kept in the fam
lily since them Kennebec Journal.

New Silver Coins.

The Philadelphia mint is preparing
new designs for the silver dime, quarter
and half dollar and they are to be issued
at New Years. The head of the famil-
lar Goddess OF Liberty has been pattern
ed after figures used on French silver and
is different in it's lines from that which
has appeared ON any other coins.
On the face of the coin is an ideal fe-
male head, representing Liberty looking
to the right with calm and dignified ex-
preston, with an olive wreath around
the head and Phrygian cap on back. On
the band, or fillet, over the front of the
head is inscribed the word Liberty"
and over the head, at the top of the coin,
is the motto ssIn God We Trust" Around
the medallion are Ii stars, representing
the IL original States, and, at the bottom,
the date of coinage.
On the back of the coin appears the
seal of the United States as adopted in
1852: An eagle displayed with open
wings. charged on the breast a shield ar
gent, six pallets gules, chief azure,
holding in the dexter claw an olive branch
representing peace, and in the sinister
claw sheaf of Is arrows. representing
war. In its beak, the eagle holds scroll
containing the motto aE Pluribus Unum'
unsigned above and about the head, with
Is stars environed by clouds.
The dime will have for the diverse the
same head as the half and quarter dollar
except that, in place Of the stars, there
will be the inscription United States of
America The motto, ssIn God We
Trust will be omitted from the dime.
The reverse of the dime will be the same
as at present.

No. machine is having remarkable
sale in Europe and 300 of these machines
were shipped to Germany. The demand
for them in other parts of Europe is also
large and agencies are being established
everywhere. At one time, the matter OF
! moving the entire plant of the company
to the other side of the water was undei
consideration, but, after much figuring
and calculation, the cOmpany's officials
find that the machines can be manufac
, tured cheaper in Bridgeport than in any
other place in the world. Parts for the
= new No. machine are being made, but
it is understood that the gratifying re.
suits met with from the No. machine in
.. Europe have prompted the new manage
ment to continue the manufacture of this
machine in conjunction with the new No
2. 1t is singular fact that while the
No. machine did not satisfy Inventor
Yost and failed to satisfactorily ''catch
on" in this country, it should find such
ready acceptance and favor in Europe.
