The Best Way to nuy banana.

Ano ASesS way 60 Buy Bananas.
The banana, which is the greatest of
all tropical fruits, comes to us chiefly
from Panama and the West Indies in
great shiploads, and in the banana mar
ket in New York the big green bunches-
''heads" they call them in South Amer
lea, just as we speak Of heads of cab
bage containing from five to ten dozen
each, can be bought for dollar to two
dollars and fifty cents, according to the
variety. They are not so expensive after
all, and big green bunch hung in a
cool cellar will ripen gradually, so as to
furnish dozen Of ripe ones each day I'M
til the whole bunch is gone. In this
way you can enjoy your bananas just as
they do in the land of palms, for even
there they cut them while they are geeen,
and allow them to ripen as we do in the
North. = ourtenay de Kalb in Harpers

Every farmer knows from experience
that corn is especially a heat-producing
food, and therefore, in summer substi
tutes oats as much as possible for
working stock. This suggests another
fact, that it is especially valuable for
winter use, and not for working stock
only. 1t should form principal item
of food for fowls in the winter but not
in summer. Corn is LARGELY starch,
and in summer will soon make hen
over fat. SO that she will not lay at all.
In winter it keeps her warm and helps
to maintain the conditions Of temper
allure necessary to the production Of
eggs.

Railroads pledged to pay interest

Prices Of commodities rise quickly,
wages rise slowly and meanwhile the
wage earners suffer. Distrust comes,
panic and hard times, stagnation.''
This is a cutting satire on Mr.. Sell
lgman's whole argument. Prices Of
commodities rise quickly" That is just
what farmers want. And "wages rise
slowly Prices under Mr.. Seligman's
gold theory are falling steadily both of
products and wages. But note one
fact he does not mention and it is the
key to all this senseless trade against
silver money. As prices rise the pur-
chasing power OF interest falls. That
is gold falls and all these railroad
debts he laments are owned by the gold
ring. When products command thirty

They haven't any surplus on which to
depend !" and Mr.. Seligman tells them
that free coinage will make money
more plenty and products and wages
higher, and they will have a surplus on
which to depend for interest and debts
will not rise. They stay just where
they are. Under the gold regime
debts are always rising, or what is the
same thing produce and wages are
always falling. Under free silver the
very reverse is the result. Debts and
gold lose their purchasing power. and
the products of labor and wages
increase their purchasing power under

for home-seekers and not for
visitors and people who have money to
invest are not likely to hesitate on one-third
fare for the round trip. 1t is people who
have money with which to buy homes that
Texas wants, and this is the class of people
the Santa F'e is trying to induce to visit
Texas. These excursions have been thor-
oughly advertised, and our travelling pas
senger agents through the North and East
are rustling for this business. The Septem-
Der excursions coming after the summers
work is well over, are alwas the best pat
ronized, and we expect large travel into
Texas on these dates. The fact that money
is scarce, times hard and business dull all
over the country will doubtless render the
traffic lighter than it would have + zen had
the circumstances been otherwise. When
it comes to business for Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas, the Santa Fe Is in it.
The history of the road shows that it has
always been an earnest worker for all sec
tions along its lines. The line in Texas is
comparatively new yet, and the result of
its work has not yet had time to become APP
parent. The Santa Fe is a Texas road, and
is working for Texas all the time"
Mr.. Thompson also expressed himself as
well pleased with the business the company
is doing at Fort Worth, and that the Santa
Fe regarded the city as one of its most in
portant traffic centerS, and could be de-
pended on to aid the city's progress to its
utmost extent. The interests of railroad
are closely interviewer with the towns
along its line, and what is detrimental to
one must of necessity have like effect on
the other

portions of the line, including stop-over
privileges and the right to use the ticket
for return from any point on the lines in

Wheat Increment on the Denver

The wheat crop of 1891 is already begin
ming to move on the Denver, and shippers
are busy loading at all stations, some fifty
cars loading at different points yesterday
shipments of wheat from stations on this
line between Henrietta and Clarendon had
reached 2000 cars, the most of this being
for export This, of course, does not in
clIde the wheat delivered at the mills
along the line and which will come out in
the shape of -four. The movement of wheat
which is principally of the Mediterranean
variety, a kind of grain that is said to be
far superior to others both for milling and
export, may be said to have only fairly be-
gun, and il is expected this amount will
have been trebled by the end of the year.

Hulled Wheat.

Do not many remembeR among the good
things of childhood that old fashioned dish,
hulled corn7 But how many of those who
remember how good it WAS as their grand
mothers made it know that hulled wheat is
far SUPERIOR Indeed, it is so much better
that we have given up the corn entirely,
and when we want dish of that kind we
use the wheat. AS the process of prepar-
ing it may be new to some will give it.
Take two or three quarts of sound wheat
and pick it over thoroughly. We run ours
through the tanning mill twice and then
have to pick out many odds and ends. Put
it into porcelain kettle and with it pint
of clean wood ashes tied In a coarse cloth
Cover with water and set on the fire and
let it boil fDm one to two hours. Drain
the water off, put the wheat into q large
pan or pail, pour on cold water and wash
it, rubbing it between the hands to rub the
bulls off. If these come off right they will
leave each kernel as white and about the
size of a kernel of rice. But if they all
do not come of it will do no special harm,
as the bran is so softened by the alkaIi
that the wheat will cook with it on.
Now the wheat must be washed over and
over, then put over the fire and boiled,
then washed again. This must be done
until all the bulls that will come are re-
moved and it is entirely free from the lye
formed by the ashes. We put ours over
and scalded it twice and washed it in ten
waters. Then put it over with hot water
enough to cover, salt it we'll and boil four
or five hours. The two quarts of wheat
will make from eight to ten quarts when
it is done.
For those who like a pure cereal food
nothing can be better than this 1t is as
good steamed over two or three days after
it was made as when fresh.-Ohio Farmer.

stated in connection with General Man ager
Smiths resignation from the Denver and
Rio Grande that he is wanted by George
Gould, now en- route to Pueblo from Salt
Lake City, he having wired Smith to meet
him. Considerable speculation lies in this
rumor, as Smith was general superintend-

the road then was prosperous. What po-
sition Gould may offer Smith is speculation,
but it is believed he intends punching the

Applied for Relief.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 2s--The Southern
Pacific has applied to the commissioners OF
the Western traffic association for relief,
alleging that irregular practices on the part
of some of its competitors is depriving it of
fair share of immigrant business. The
specific charge is that other roads
are paying excessive commissions
at Atlantic ports, where emigrants
land, thus securing business by
unfair means The matter will be one of
the subjects considered at the meeting of
the commissioners, September 4, and spe-
cial efforts .7fll be made to discover what
roads, itany, in the Western traffic associa-
ton are guilty of violating their agreement
with respect to immigrant traffic
