OCCASIONAL suBsoILINe.

Probably no work on the farm pays so
well as that done with the subsoil plow
on land that has been well u~nderdrained.
The advantage of subsoiling is that one
operation lasts a number of years, and
If the drainage is perfect, the land never
loses the porosity which the subsoil
plow gives it. If new land were drained
as soon as the forest were cleared from
it, subsoiling would not be needed. The
decay of roots of trees in the subsoil
makes a natural drainage way through
which s%uperauous or stagnant water can
pass. But in ninety-nine cases out Of
100 drainage is not resorted to until the
compacting of soil and its inability 10
carry off water makes drainage neces-
sary. Then after the underdrain is
down it takes years of freezing and
thawing and clover growing to establish
the old water courses again, or rather to
make new ones. The subsoil pillow helps
this work amazingly. 1t should follow
the drain, and it will do good to repeat
the subsoiling every few years, thus
enabling the soil to hold more water
without being saturated, because the
surplus must always pass off wherever
an outlet is provided for it.-American
Cultivator.

DISHES.

Don't let the family get a contempt
for warmed-over dishes. When you do
get up such a dish, be sure you make it
so good that no fault whatever IN ay be
found with it; aud do not have too many
dishes of this class. Try to cook enough,
and just enough, but should there be o
little left, make good use of it.
In the first of this series we will tell
one way of using up the bit of hash that
was left from breakfast. Let us up
pose there was only a spoonful or two
left, not enough for another meal, or to
combine with other meat for the next
breakfast. If it was chicken, or corned
beef, hashed with potatoes and not
chopped so very fine, chop till quite fine
and mix with it a little mayonnaise
dressing. Now spread 1t between thin
slices of buttered bread, aud you have a
few sand witches to serve for supper to
vary the bread and butter. Some of the
family are sure 10 be fond of sandwiches.
If the hash was well made and the
sandwiches put up in good form no one
will ever guess that they were made
from the hash that was left over.
If there is a lunch to be put up for
anyone you can give them occasionally
a sandwich of this kind without buying
meat for that purpose alone.-St. Louis
Republic.

A LIFE FOR

A great many students of life as IL passes
have frequently pon1ered over the problem
of what a victim of alcohol would-or,
rather, would not-do for a drink when his
system craved it. OF course, they admit
that there is no crime which a man crazed
by liquor may not commit, but the question
has been to what length will a man in pos
session OF his senses go when his appetite
huugers for stimulant. Colonel Phil Trouu-
slime, of Colorado, told a story yesterday
which illustrates what one individual would
have done IL a taste Of the ardent had not
been forthcoming.
Along the latter seventies said the col
onel, II found myself suddenly called upon
TO make a trip of about a hundred miles into

Cooking by Electricity.

An electrical cooker is one Of the
novelties. II the claims for the inven.
ton can be substantiated, the woes of
the long-suffering housekeeper are about
to vanish forever. The comforts of home
will be secured without any of its
worries. Smutty, smoky, disagreeable
coal and risky, %treacherous gas is to
give place to electricity. Beefsteaks will
be cooked by lightning, me drowsy
housewife can push an Gettric button
before she arises in the morning aud the
tea-kettle will be humming a merry well
come when she gets down to the kitchen.
The day Of the pine board and the
butchers knife is doomed. The public
is destined to be treated to no more har-
rowing tales of kerosene oil explosions.
And all this, the enthusiastic inventor
claims, is at a marvelously low COST

HINTS.

Never use strong or rancid butter in
seasoning vegetables.
A scant cup of butter will often make
a lighter cake than a full cup.
Onions and apple sauce are the pecu.
liar accompaniment of a goose.
Milk Is better for being kept over
night in small tins than if a larger
quantity is kept over In one vessel.
1t is said that to chew parsley after
eating onions will remove the odor of
the latter. orris root has the same
effect.
A turkey when well cooked should be
evenly Drowned all over. Cranberry
sauce or curraut jelly is the proper &C.
compartment.
1t is better to keep baked pastry in q
cupboard than in a refrigerator, as it
would be apt to get damp and heavy in
tle latter place.
To keep jellies from moulding, cover
them with pulverized sugar to a depth
of a quarter of an inch. They will keep
for years if this is done.
For mildew, which is not an uncom-
mon plant foe, dust with sulphur or
sprinkle with sulphur water. Also dig
a little soot into the soil.
A spray of pure oil of t~urpentiue
mixed with n per cent. of lavender oil
is said to have a N astonishing effect in
purifying the air of living rooms, the
action being attributed to the ozone
formed.
The crepe tissue paper which eau be
bought in many colors for twenty cents
a yard makes the prettiest candle shades,
and is much used for fruits aud small
sachets intended for favors for germans
and dinners.
An excellent remedy for InAamed eyes
is to soak a little sassafras pith in boil
ing water; let it draw until the water
becomes Shiny and then strain through
thin muslin. Battle the eyes frequently
with the liquid.
A large piece OF charcoal laid in the
refrigerator will help TO keep it sweet.
1t should be renewed once q week.
When meat and poultry are brought in
to the house and are not eaten the same
day, a piece of charcoal inside the poul-
try will keep itsweet.
A handy receipt for curing hams Il

THE DRINK Evil IN FRANCE.

1t has been frequently stated that since
the war drinking habits have increased in
France to an alarming extent. In 1869, ac-
cording to recent statistics, there were
So5,S8S cabarets or dramshops. in France,
being n Tor every eighty-seven inhabi-
tants. Since then, by reason of the annexa-
ton OF Alsace-Lorraine, France has lost
l,5OO,OOO Inhabitants, but the cabarets have
increased to 10000. In 1850 the consump-
ton of alcohol was 5S5. 600 hectolitres OF
alcohol, or LAG litre per head of the popula-
ton. 1t has now risen to l ,669, 1874 hectoli-
tres or 4.4O litres per head. The alcohol
formerly was distilled from wine: it is now
made from fruit and grain, the effects Of
which on the human organism are d%eleteri-
Gus in the extreme. The increased con-
sumption Of absinthe is specially attended
with the most deplorable results, and it is
more thar tim for the Legislature to inter
fere in order to check the growing evil.

Peculiar Origin Ola Familiar Phrase.

The phrase ''That beats Bob-tail" is
not uncommon even now in many parts
Of the country, especially in the South.
Its origin is traceable to a race which
occurred about 1910, or shortly before
that year. on the famous Fairfield track
on the Mechanicsville turnpike near
Richmond, Va.
In those days Bob Poindexter lived in
Richmond. He was a sporting man,
wore fine clothes aud owned a number Of
horses. Among the animals was one he
named Pizarro, a plain bay gelding,
with black name and tail, the latter
bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary
about the horse, and nobody looked
upon him es a racer. But Poindexter
took a notion that he could run. He
used to drive Pizarro about Richmond
hitched to q buggy. On the day that
he was advertised to appear on the track
a great crowd was present and excite
ment ran high, for a great deal Of money
had been put up on other horses. To
the establishment OF everybody Pizarro
beat every horse on the track, and the
people went fairly wild.
Bob-tailed Pizarro never made much
Of a record. He won two OF three races
and then went to pieces. For years
afterward when anything extraordinary
happened In that section it was said of
1t, ''That beats Bob-tail. Baltimore

FARM ACCOUNTS.

The simplest form of accounts is the
best for a farmer. A complete set Of
books as may be necessary in a store is
not required. As the farm business is
mostly made up selling and buying, the
whole of the bookkeeping may be done
with two books, a cash book and a
ledger. Or a ledger only may be used,
having one account for the cash. The
double entry system is the best and the
simplest. This consists Of making q
double entry of each transaction, as thus
A load of hay is sold; if for cash, the
cash account is charged with the money
received, and farm account, OF the par
ticular field account, is credited. If
something is bought and paid for, cash
is credited with the amount and farm is
charged. If the cash is not received or
paid in either case, the parties are
charged or credited, as the case may be.
This is all that is necessary. Afterwsrd,
when facility has been gained, separate
accounts may be kept for each depart
ment, as the live stock, dairy, or each
field of the farm.-New York Times.

| plants. The seed should be planted on
the south side of the open furrow, drop
ping two seeds near each other, then
leaving a space Of four or Eve feet, and
covering the seeds with earth enough
to keep them moist, say not
far from one-half an inch in
depth. On rocky land, or where the soil
is hard, dig out with a sharp spade a
small sod where the seeds are to be
planted, leaving the sod near the hole on
the south side for shade, and plant the
seed the same as in burrows. In a favor.
able season enough seed will terminate
TO cover the land, but il the season be
unfavorable a portion Of tho land will
have to be reseeded the following year.
Where the land is shaded by trees germ.
ination will be more certain; but in such
places, when the seeding pines are two
years old they should be let out into the
sunshine by removing the trees that shade
them.
In localities where Seeding pines that
grew naturally are numerous It is not
expensive to cover land with pines by
trausplsnting the young trees; to do this
to the best advantage trees should be
selected that are not over elk inches in
height, and in removing them a small
bali of earth should be removed with
each tree, care being taken not to expose
the roots to the light or the air, and it is
always best to do the work on cloudy
days. The trees should be set five or six
feet apart, and as they grow a sufficient
number should be cut out to prevent
crowding. When large enough for boz
boards or coarse lumber not more than
four or Eve trees should be left on each
rod of land.-Boston Transcript.

THEY DRAW FLIES.

Close observers have noticed that flies will
gather upon a half-drunken, sleepy sot,
while a dozen sober men in the same room
are not molested by them The flies will
buzz around their subject with great de-
light, frequently alighting upon his per-
spring face. of they go and return again
and again, quating the alcoholic nectar is
suing from his pores. After a wnile their
flight becomes uncertain and eccentric, and
sometimes they come in collision. Recently
a drunken man raised his land and brushed
them into his face. Some fell to the floor
and lay there paralyZsd.
After a while they get on their feet and
YEARLY fly off, half dazad. Perhaps they
have a head on. Many animals yield to the
seduction of rum drinking, especially ele.
plants, horses, cow and swine. Poultry,
especially turkeys, will absorb the tempting
drink till they tumble over in a leaden
sleep, lying around as if they were dead and
utterly ignoring their accustomed roofs. On
awaklng they stlgger for a few moments
and soon recover, but it is hours before they
renew their cheerful cacSling. Chicago
