FACTS FOR FARMERS.

GEORGE A. SMITH, speaking at re-
cent New York institute, said the cow
should not be sailed periodically-once
or twice week--but be given free ac-
cess to it at all times.
A FEW crab-applcs of the best sort
should have place in every orchard, or
they may be planted about the home
grounds, as they are quite ornamental
for a good portion of the year.
Hoes Are cleaner than cows when
they have a chance to be clean. The
reputation the hog has obtained is not
deserved. Even his appetite is no
worse than that of fowls and his habits
quite as exemplary. Give the hog a
chance.
As A covering for hot-beds, in place
of glass, muslin may be used, provided
it is made waterproof. TO do this dip
the muslin in linseed oil before stretch
ing it on the frame, and then give it a
coating of mixture of raw egg and lin
seed oil, or varnish it with transparent
yarniSh.
IT has been discovered that potatoes
can be prevented from sprouting by
immersing them for ten hours in solu-
ton of one part sulphuric acid in fifty
parts water, in wooden tank, without
injury to the potatoes. A trial of the
process with a few potatoes will moi
cost over five cents.
SOME men set tree as they would a
fence post, but such will never make
good fruit-g-owers. The hole for tEC

ABOUT TIN RABBITS.

They Are Cheap, Easily Mhde and VIII BE
Found Very Useful.
IN manipulating frames it is quite an
advantage to have them rest on as small
surface as possible. They often be.
come propelled and stuck fast to the
rabbet on which they rest. This is
especially the case in cool weather. and
loosening them jars the frames and
greatly disturbs the bess. To over-
come this trouble | have used for sew

Then cut the roots off carefully level
with the bottom of the box, lay the
specimen over on its side and nail on
the bottom firmly, leaving spaces for
water to escape. The sides of the box
should then be nailed firmly all round.
In boxes of the size given as an cX-
ample, or larger ones, the rods should
remain in place, but if of smaller size
they may be removed after mailing

HE ESTABLISHED HIMSELF IN A CHAIR.
Mrs, Benson was halfway up the stairs
after her bonnet and cloak.
"Police station. Take me-quick"
she gasped incoherently. "Oh, my
poor john"
Mr.. Benson was sitting disconsolate-
ly on the edge of a very hard bunk,
wondering what poor Mary was think
ing of his absence, when there was a
murmur of voices, a sound of feet, a
jingle of keys, and in another moment
peddler and victim were in each others
arms.
"I'll never buy another thing of a
peddler again as long as live, John, if
you'll only forgive mel" cried Mrs. Ben
son, tearfully.

"Why, JOHN began Mrs Benson
timidly.
"Mary, have you given that away?"
asked Mr.. Benson, coming into view
"Why-yes, John, did You haven't
had that coat on your back for three
years and-and the man had such

into the safe refuge of tears.
"Peddlers," exclaimed Mr.. Benson,
contemptuously "Why can't woman
be satisfied with buying what she
wants at decent store and not be pick
ing up lot of worthless articles from
sneak-thieves because they are cheap
You'll be sorry for it some day, Mary,

out and shut the door vigorously.
He walked down the street with a
preoccupied frown upon his face. 81

seriously. Sometime she will have
something valuable stolen. I've got

He fitted his key to the door of his
private Office, opened the door and then
turned back.
"Jenning," he said, ~ shall be very
busy for an hour or two, possibly all
the afternoon. See that am not dis
turbed by anyone"
He entered his Office, and locked the
door after him. 1t was very easy mat
ter to open back window, drop into the
alley and hasten to an obscure cos
tuners, where detectives and jail-birds
were impartially disguised to play at
hide and seek with one another.
Left alone, Mrs Benson cried a little
while repentantly to herself, and then
remembered that she had intended to
wash the delicate bric-a-brac that was
her pride and Joy. To do this she must
get her dainty white apron and her dear
little new pan that she had bought of
the last peddler-here she sighed lit
tie. She slipped off her rings, moved
out little table and left the room for
the necessary articles.
Little matters detained her and ii
was fully an hour before she again en-
tered the room, bearing the pan. just
as she set it down a peal at the bell

Il wonder who it can be-and Jenny
is ironing" she thought.
She opened the door herself, and then
almost shut it again in her momentary
dismay.
Certainly itwas disreputable look
ing object, even for peddler, that
stood on the doorstep.
1--WE come, mum, to see 4 We didn't
want TO exchange some old clo'es fer
sonethin' rale vallyble." He edged his
way past her and established himself
on hall chair.
"What have you, my man?' Mrs.
Benson asked, hesitatingly,
I've some of the harnsomest lace We
ever saw" He produced piece as a
sample.
1t was Just what she had been want
ing to complete the dainty spring cos
tune she had just finished
"Mr. Benson doesn't like to have
me buy of peddlers, she said, hesitat-
ingly.
I'm sure 'eed say twas all right,
mum, eff zee was here. just look around
an see eff thar amt an old coat you can

Mrs Benson hesitated few moments
longer, then rose and went slowly from
the room after a long ago cast off coat
that she remembered. The temptation
had proved too much for her. At the
foot of the stairs she paused. John

Psychologists term any substance
which possesses the property of stimu-
lating the flow of gastric juice in the
stomach a peptogen. The savory juices
of fruits, meats and vegetables exert
this influence, but of them all, fruits
may be regarded as the most valuable
of the class, and that is one reason for
beginning meal with fresh fruits
They stimulate the appetite as well as
the digestion. Another thing, luscious
fruits are very tempting to the appe-
tite, and if put last on the course may
induce one to partake of them when the
normal appetite is already more than
satisfied. Fruits, even the most nour-
ishing, have comparatively low nutri
tive value, but they stimulate the gas
trio juice and so prepare the way for the
digestion of other foods. They also
stimulate wholesome activity of the
liver and besides are rich in the various
salts required for physical maintenance.
A generous fruit diet is great pro-
moter of health.-From lecture by j,

MANNERS, NOT DRESS.
A Shabbily Dressed Woman Wrapped
the Mantle of Charity for All.

A Stability Dressed Woman Wrapped In
the Mantle of Charity for All.
1t was in a Chicago street car. The
woman wasn't dressed particularly
well. Her gloves We're worn and her
black dress rusty.
Perhaps she couldn't help it. Perhaps
there were those at home who needed
the money, or what il would buy, that
would have purchased more fashionable
attire, But this thought never occurred
to the two men, or rather males, who in
half insolent and wholly sneering way
made side remarks about their fellow
passengers appearance, and said it was
plain to be seen that "she was no lady"
Presently an old man with heavy
basket boarded the car. The big, ro-
bust fellows whose unllind language
had brought blush to the shabbily
dressed woman's cheek never stirred.
But she did, and giving the old man her
seat stood until the car reached Fifth
avenue.
When the Italian woman, who held
one child in her arms and had three
other little ones clinging to her in fear,
was trying to cross the crowded street,
she took the hands of two of the chill
dren in hers and piloted them safely to
the other side.
When passing out of downtown
business house, where the heavy doors
are swung recklessly back and forth,
she held the door ajar until the woman
with the mite of a baby had gone in.
When the veil that a little toddler
wore became displaced she rearranged
it, that the bitter wind might not strike
the little face so cruelty. And when the
timid, bashful man, who was a stranger
in the city, asked the policeman the
way to his desired destination, and that
official, pointing to all the cardinal and
semi-cardinal points, grunted Down
there" leaving the man more bewil-
dered than he had been before, she told
him in clear, comprehensive manner
what he wanted to know.
But those we're all trivial things and
did not signify, and after all, she
wasn't 'lady."-Chicago Tribune.

husband theoretically takes her into

WATER.

The subject Of White Oaks water sup
ply has often been adversely reported
upon by those who either knew nothing
about the matter or those who preferred
not to see this portion of New Mexico
sufficiently developed to command rail
road facilities. In addition to these
parties there have always been a few
croaking barnacles who never tried to
develop anything, especially water, who
haven'ta dollar to spend for such pur-
poses, and would expend it for whiskey
il they had, that have expressed their
doubts about the suillciency Of the sup
ply il needed All of this time there has
been plenty Of water found everywhere
where wells have been dug.
The additional supply for the stamp
mills has come principally from springs
situated along White Oaks canyon and
into which pipes had been introduced,
merely sufficient in size to carry the
stream Of water in sight without any de.
velopment. These were conducted to a
main line which had carried the water to

Oaks springs which are eituated high

withina short distance and prior to

found to more than fill the pipe line, SO

LINCOLN, n. NJ, Jan. 10Th, 1892
DEAR EDIToR:- Looking over your
paper see with pleasure that it is almost
certain that a railroad will soon be built
from Denver to El Paao. There is moth
ing which would help this section of the
country more than railroad, as it would
bring new element to our valley that
would develop its large resources. Our
lands are fertile and there is plenty of
water, so that good farmers can raise
the most abundant crops. Nearly every-
thing can be grown here to advantage.
All the cereals, sugar cane, vegetables
and fruits of all kinds.
One Of our townsmcn, Mr. Isaac Ellis,
has raised this year, besides variety of
other fruit, crop of fine apples exceed
ing 25,0O0 pounds in weight.
We also hope that the railroad nov
running between Eddy and Pecos City,
on the Texas & Pacific railroad will be
extended up this valley to the Salado
and the mining regions of the upper
Bonlto and thence to Albuquerque. The
idea is to develop the mining regions and
create market for the product Of the
Pecos Valley and in return ship the coal
from the Salado to Roswell and Eddy.
where fuel is scarce and in great demand
and to ship the ores of the Ronito mines
for treatment.
As it ie a known fact that the climate
of country is often changed by the in
PRODUCTION of railroads it may reasonably
be expected that our country Will also
undergo change in case these railroads
are built. More frequent rains may beex-
pected andmuch of the land on the plains
that is now lying unused for the want of
water may be fit for cultivation hereafter.
So let us hope that the projected roads will
soon be built and add more blessings to
our already, by nature, richly endowed
country. Ell CAPTAIN.
