TIE GREEN GOOSE.

A full-grown goose makes a coarse,
greasy dish and there is no special
reason for serving it when the market
is full of better things. But the inn
mature goose of four or five months
Of age Git is known as II "grecn
goose") is quite different bird. 1t
has some of the toothsomeness and
1elicacy of young pig, as contrasted
with the erosscr pork, and none OF
the flavor Of goose oil, which is a very
useful article for lubricating the
chests of croupy children, but is not
desirable for the table. To prepare a
green goose see that it is thoroughly
picked and properly drawn; then wipe
+ it well but do not stuff il.
Dredge it inside and outside
with salt and pepper; lay an
onion, cut in two, inside the bird.
Dredgc little flou" over it. Lay IL
on a rack in a dripping-pan in the
oven and lot il roast for about fifty
minutes. When the bird has roasted
for ten minutes pour little water in
the bottom of tho pan to prevent the
drippings from burning. Basic tho
gooso with these drippings frequently,
turning it so that it will cook evenly
on all sides. Make a rich brown
gravy with tho drippings. adding a
little stock il necessary. Sorve the
goose with a dish of young onions

Largest Well In the Country.

The "Sampson" is the largest well in
the United States, aud has few rivals
in tho world. 1t is bored with a di-
ameter of 10 inches to the depth of
1850 feet--all the artcsian wells Of
Waco, Texas, finding their supply at
from 1925 TO 1850 feet deep. The
Sampson" throws up about 1900. 900
gallons daily OF hot but perfectly pure
and crystalline water at temperature
Of 103 degrecs-which is the highest
temperature of any artcsinn water yet
discovercd-with pressure of sixty
pounds to tho inch. 1t will rise in The
standpipc to the height of 120 feet
from the ground. The supply ap-
pears to be incxhaustib.e, no diminu-
tion having SO far been felt at the
other wells. Besides the "Sampson"
there are two other standpipes, re-
spectively S0x20 feet aud 8Sx20 feet,
which not only supply Waco with
pure artesian water for domestic and
manufacturing purposes, but also for
swimming and other baths. More inn
portant still, indeed, for the future of
the city, these supply it, in addition,
with motive power which can be
applied 10 all kinds of manufacturing
purposes. FIST. Louis Republic.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Examine the young chicks for lice.
Make tho hens work for their mid.
day meal
Give plenty of pure drinking water
TO the fowls.
Give full ration when the fowls
arc preparing to 90 to roost.
Ducks need II coarse, bulky food in
addition to their grain ration.
Poultry will never thrive where the
runs or hel. houses are damp,
If late red currant is wanted tho
Victoria is not cxcellcd for Northern
culture.
Clover hay is one of tho best of
foods for hogs, though this fact is not
generally known.
Lettuce is greatly relished by oil
kinds of poultry. If possible, sow
small patch for them.
Let the hogs run in the clover
pasture. but Willie they are allowed to
have this privilege do not fail to give
them their regular feed.
For young pigs. food should be
comparatively bulky to aid in tho ex-
tension of their digestive organs and
to make them good eaters.
The otaksa hydrangea is one of the
finest and best of tho old varieties, a
robust grower, and bears in protuslon
wellformed rose-colored flowers.
If the digestion of the hog has be-
come impaired from constant feed
of grain, cook tho food, and it may
result in the restoration Of proper
action of tho stomach.
Hogs confined in muddy runs take
too much dirt into their system, aud the
animal, instead of increasing in size,
decreases. The flesh of such hogs is
not very palstable, either.
Winter feeding cannot bo made as
profitable as summer feeding. There
is no excuse for stocking hogs over.
1t takes more feed and costs more to
fatten them up than it takes to raise
now litter of pigs.

MARE WITH swEENY IN SHOULDER.

MARE WITH swEENY IN SHOULDER.
Almost any injury to the muscles of
the shoulder blade of horse from a
sprain. bruisc, or even inaction
through some injury to the foot may
cause atrophy or wasting Of the mus
clcs, and when this is about the shout
der it is called swceny among farmers.
In the first stages, and when there is
any inflammation present, tho applica-
tion of cold water will be sufficient TO
reduce 1t, after which allow the aui-
mai to walk on level, smooth ground,
or even do light work to increase the
circulation over tho wasted muscles.
But If tho animal has been neglected
until tho shrinking Of the flesh is quito
plainly to be seen, then hard rubbing
must be resorted to, aud scvcral'times
II day using n wisp of straw or even a
smooth stick of wood to produce active
friction over tho joint. If tho colt
does not improve under this treatment
apply inimcnt made of four ounces
fluid extract of ginger, ono of gum
camphor, and half pint of olive oil.
Equal parts Of cod liver oil and kcro-
scnc is sometimes applied with excel
lent results. But to effect perfect
euro will require time, weeks and per-
haps months, although in young
horses the disease is not SO obstinate
as in old ones.-[N. Y. Sun.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Keeping a pan of water in the oven
will prevent fowl from scorching.
To frcshen salt fish, lay it skin side
up, and always in all carthcn vessel.
A small box of lime placed in tho
cellar and pantry will keep the air dry
aud pure.
One teaspoonful OF ammonia to a
teacupful Of water, applied with
rag, will clean silver or gold jewelry.
A holder attached to a long double
tape that may be looped around the
apron band saves steps and burned
fingers.
Finger marks may be removed
from vanished furniture by rubbing
well with very little sweet oil upon
u soft rag.
If ihe solcs of pegged boots or shoes
are occasionally oiled tho shoes will be
easier, the soles will last longer and
the pegs will not get loose in the
leather.
Carpets, If we'll sprinkled with salt
and then wiped with cloth squeezed

and will not be troubled with moths
and buffalo bugs.
Smoked or dried halibut is a very
nice relish for tea in hot weather. 1t

through the udder. The valves which
open and close the passages from
these reservoirs TO the teats are under
the control Of the will, but like the
muscles which close tho neck of the
bladder, they are naturally and con-
stantly kept closed, and are only re-
laxcd by special effort Of tile will.
AT milking time these valves, by re-
laxaiiou of the cords which control
them, are opened and tho milk le.
down In food into the tcats. This
relaxation does not last long. After
little time tho special effort to hold
open the valves ceases, and they in
stinctively close again, shutting of
tho flow from the reservoirs and re-
tanning In them any milk which may
not have passed. out. Tho habit
of not 'giving down" con-
sls,s in shortening III, timo
of this relaxation, thus stop
ping the flow from the reservoirs to
the teats before the milk is all drawn.
The circumstances which tend 10 make
a COW shorten this period of relaxation
are rough treatment, fear, grief,
solicitudc, loud nolses-in short, any
thing which attracts attention aud
makes the COW uneasy. Tho things
inducing prolonged relaxation are
comfort and quielude, and freedom
from disturbance aud excitement, to-
gethcr with the relief which tho flow
Of milk occasions. When a COW has
from any cause acquired habit of
shortening the time of "letting down"
1t Is very difficult, and sometimes i'm
possible, to overcome it, says Farmers
Record. The best way is to avoid all
occasions of disturbance, and observe
we'll those which promote pleasure
and quiet for the COW, and to
milk as rapidly as possible,
consistent with comfort, with a
view TO getting the milk out before the
"letting down" ceases. Milking
rapidly docs not mean jerking down
sharply, or moving with hasty or
irregular motions in tho presence of
the COW. Such a course would coun-
teract the very thing aimed at. The
motions of tho mixer should not be
such as to attract suspicion. They
should DO deliberate and cool, but
nothing should be allowed to interrupt
or retard the work. This will pro-
duca continual relief to the udder.
The mixer should bear constantly in
mind the fact that tho letting down is
short, aud that every moment should
be used to the best advantage. When
tho milk ceases to flow tho milking
should stop at once, whether it is all
out or not. There Is no good in
hanging on after tho milk stops COM
ing, as it only cul;ivatcs the habit of
"holding back. VI American Dairy

DEEP FLOWING.

For everything there is reason,
and In any farm practice 1t Is neces-
sary to know why a thing should be
done before 1t is done. There are SO
many differences in so many ways
about the work OF farm that it is not
possible to make rules for every case
alike. Thus in deep plowing there are
to be taken into consideration the kind
of soil, its condition of fertility, its
texture, aud many other things that
might interfere with the expected
benefits Of the work. A light, open
soil. rich and having plenty of ma

lies on gravel or hard clay or any kind
of inferior subsoil, or that Is naturally
poor, will not permit of any but shall

subsoil, as a fertile, mellow loan,
that has only been plowed for few
years to small depth, may be plowed
Us deeply as the farmer pleascs, and
all the more IL the land Is hillside
and subject to be washed by heavy
rains. The deeper blowing then per-
mits the water to sink into the soil in
stead of flowing on the surface and

How Light.Ships Are Employed.

Light-ships are usually employed to
mark shoals where the erection of
lighthouses is not practicable. Fifty
of them guard dangerous points near
the shores of ocean and lakes under
Uncle Sans jurisdiction. In addition
TO these there are eight spare light
ships, for purposes of relief. When
light-ship is reported of its station,
u steamer is sent out to look for II and
tow it back. If it has disappeared
altogether, another light-ship Is
despatched at once TO take its place.
The territory covered by the Light
house Service is divided into sixteen
districts, each of which is managed by
ono engineer officer of the army and
one navy officer. While the former
attends to all matters Of construction
and repair, the latter has charge of the
running of light-ships aud lighthouses,
receiving tclegraphic reports of any
thing that is wrong and having at his
disposal small steam vesse.. Light
ships are moro thickly distributed off
Cape Cod than anywhere else. They
are schooner-rigged, carrying one or
two lights, which are octuple lanterns
with rcfcc,ors surrounding the masts
ard suspended from them. 1t costs
$4,000 year to maintain ligh,-ship.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN,
WHAT FLAvoRs THE BUTTER

The oils Of tho different kinds Of
grain fed to dairy cows have very
much to do with the quality of the
butter. Cotton seed, while giving an
increased flow of milk rich in butter
fat, makes the butter greasy and
sticky. Oats aud bran give good oils
for butter, but the best is the oil Of
corn. To the general use of corn in
feeding dairy cows in the West is due
to n great extent the fine flavor Of
Western butter. --[Ncw York Wit

A Georgia exchange is responsible for
the following: "Some years age Judge
Simmons was presented with a pet
snake. One day it swallowed an eight
day clock, which could be heard to tick
and strike until it ran down. Shortly
after the snake laid 100 eggs. On open
ing them he found each to contain an
open faced watch in good running order
He then fed it on large augers and OBJ
tanned enough corkscrews to supply a

By a circuitous route the car soon
