sides. Boil pint of milk: mix
together two teaSpoOnfulS of flour in
a little cold water: stir this into the
boiling milk. Let it boil about one
minute, then add a little salt and
stir into it two ounces of butter. Dip
the toast in the milk, place it on a
dish, and pour the remainder of the
milk over it. The toast may be made
much richer by increasing the guam
tity Of butter.

Making Our Own Cotton Ties.

There is something really funny in
the way the predictions Of the free
traders are being wrecked; and one of
the worst predictions they ever made
was in regard to cotton ties. These ties
are made Of hoop-iron, and are used in
the South to bale cotton with. These
ties we're largely made in Europe, the
importation for the year ending June
30, 1890, reaching 44,621 ,533 pounds.
Mills and others, especially all the The
them free, but Mckinley increased the
duty to l $40 cents a pound, and then
the calamity-wailers said the South
would be ruined by such tariff as that
Well what is the result? There are
practically no cotton ties imported from
Europe, all being made in this country !;
and, more than that, the price has de-
clined fully 20 ner cent

broom handle may be used for the

heavy piece of plank on the bottom
of it to make heavy fall. A little

Cattle Raising in Me- ico.

Cattle raising has become one of
the most important Mexican indus
tries. In the Northern States of
Mexico there roamed in 1885 over an
area of 300, 900 square miles /, 500, 600
horned cattle, $500, 600 goats, 1,00O.-
600 sheep, l 900, 900 horses and 500
600 mules. There were then 20, 514
cattle ranches valued at S515, 900, 600
which number of value has greatly
increased during the last seven years
The StOck-raiSerS of the United States
lose thousands of cattle every year
owing to rigorous winters and severe
summers, while in Mexico perennial
spring smiles on man and beast. In
Bulletin No. 8, from the Bureau of
American Republics at Washington,
figures are given OF the profits of a
cattle ranch of Gil acres. situated 249
miles from large city and fifty miles
from the nearest railway station
The land cost 81. sc per acre and at
the end of two years the business had
entirely reimbursed the outlay and
given profit Of $S, 327 besides, while
the profits of future years were esti-
mated at 20 per cent. on the capital
invested. Many of these cattle are
exported to the United States.

Notes.

THE best blooded stock in the world
is in the United States.
SHEEP husbandry will unQuestion-
ably increase during a few years to
come.
THE high price of grain and feed
requires good stock to feeu it to, to
pay profit as it should on the feed
and on the stock. Scrub stock will
not do that.
TRY to raise horses of as uniform
quality as possible, but uniformly good
By so doing a team may be mated up
and sold at higher price than the
two would bring if sold separately.
GET good, tirst-class cow, give her
plenty of good, first-class food, with
good water, and yet neglect to make
her comfortable in the stable, and we
shall fail to get out Of her all that we
might.

keep them through winter. Many of
our fruit cellars smell with mold and
decay, and apples can not preserve
their naturalness in such places.
Cellars where furnaces are kept are
on the other hand, generally too dry.
1t is not SO much a dry cellar needed,
as cool, clear place. This part of
the question needs studying, too. for
many good apples are spoiled by lack
of proper knowledge in storing and
keeping them over winter.

A Model Rat Tran.

Of Farm and Home, a design for rat
trap. Let the boys try it. The parts
are box about 9Xl4 inches, drop,
similar to churn dasher, a frame
over the box and piece of single
which is inserted in the slot in front
of the box. There is also the contri-
vance to set it with, as shown in the
illustration. Every part should be
planned smoothly. The drop should
be made small enough not to touch

Hints tor the Household.

SALT fish of any kind is quickest

of Feed.

Thousands of farmers still feed
good fodder from the ground without
racks in all weather, says a writer,
and let their colts and other young
stock run over the farm and pick
their living from fence corners and
stalk fields. An equal number waste
quantities of coarse fodder every
winter, which, if properly economical,
might do much toward supporting
stock we'll sheltered. Why don't more
of us apply some Of the good advice
given us and work Systematically on
this feeding problem, buy less hay and
more cOtton-seed meal and lay up
money? Many of us are too lazy to
even try balanced ration. We act
as if afraid to adopt something a
little out of our usual rut. There
is nothing very fearful about four
quarts of bran and pint of oil meal,
nothing complicated, but it will make
a COW do better when put on cut, wet
stalks and poor hay than the finest
timothy. 1t doesn't cost much either
Sic, and besides lining the purse it
fattenS the farm.

HER FATHER CAME,

Under the moon the whispering pair
We're standing beside the door,
Under the moon and the night fair.

For smiles their faces wore.

But he kissed her lips without any fear
And just he kissed her they heard-oh,

Wheat straw serves merely to furnish
a coarse fodder to mix with the grain
