ODESSA, Oct. 11.-There has been no

most agricultural land has been baked so
hard that attempts to break the field re-

In the northern governments matters
are little better. The last harvest in
the Caucasus amounted to 1876, 100000

proprietors of Bessarabia and Kherson
have applied for an extension of credit
on mortgage loans. Should this not be
granted general ruin of the small agri-
cultural classes would be iilminent.

A NEW SURVEY.
Supposed American Lands Thrown Into

Mexico by 1t.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. IF. p.
Carrollo, merchant of Frontera Mex,
which town was supposed to be located
on the line between Mexico and the
United States, arrived here Sunday. He
states that the international boundary
survey has been completed some dis
lance past that place, and that the old
boundary line has been greatly changed.
The custom house at Frontera was
found to be nearly four miles south Of
the line, and its removal to the line has
been ordered. Several rich mining prop
critics, which for the past several years
have been worked under the United
States mining laws, are in Mexico under
the new survey, and the owners are
very much exercised, as it means a
heavy loss to them on account of the
duties on the ore, which is smelted in
the United States. Those engaged in
making the survey have suffered many
hardships owing to the lack of water,
and many assertions from the laboring
corps have occurred.

ABOUT COOKING MEATS.


The orthodox rule for the cooking of
meat, fish and fowl is to allow quarter
of an hour to every pound; yet this re-
cipe needs to be mixed with brains.
Some families like rare, others well-done
meats; again, Joint may be unusually
thick or remarkably thin. Again, full
grown and mature meats, such as beef
and mutton, are best with the red gravy
oozing from them; while immature, or
white meats, such as lamb, veal, pork,
etc, are absolutely dangerous unless
done through to the bone. A good rule
is to allow twelve to fifteen minutes, ac-
cording to the taste Of the family and
the thickness of the joint, for the cook
ing of every pound of beef and mutton;
fifteen to eighteen minutes for the cook
ing of every pound OF pork, veal, lamb,
ham, bacon, fish and every kind of
fowl
Accidents happen, however. The
oven may be too hot or too cool, the fire
too slow and-what not. So a cook
should learn to know by the appearance
of the meat itself when it is sufficiently
cooked. How can this be done? BY
carefully observing the appearance of the
meat around the centre bone or bones.
If the learner be in doubt, the blade of
knife can be run in about half an inch
at the bone, and the meat slightly raised
and carefully examined for moment or
two. After one or two trials this will
be found to be an infallible method. 1t
is quite right that next to the bone beef
and mutton should be red and juicy, but
if the beef be blue or the mutton has
that strange raw look peculiar to mutton
that has just felt the heat of the fire, the
joint needs little more cooking; while
meats should be white, even to the bone,
with the exception, perhaps, of lamb,
which many people prefer with a little
pinlky juice oozing through.
Fish-Fish is not eatable till the flesh
separates easily from the bones. BY
running knife in little way, say uu-
der the fins, so as not to spoil the ap-
pearauce of the fish, this can be judged
of.
Chops, Steaks or Cutlets-An inch.
thick mutton chops or steak, put over a
clear fire on piping hot gridiron, gen.
orally takes about ten minutes to cook
pork chops and veal outlets little longer
but the rule of finding out whether they
are cooked or not by examining the bone
also holds for them.
Turkeys, Chicken and Fowl of all
Kinds-Look between the leg and the
body of the fowl, and If necessary, slit
the skin little with sharp knife, and
if the flesh there be still raw looking the
bird is not cooked enough.
Salt Meats-Salt meats are not so
easily tested as fresh meats, yet even
here look at the bone. Beware of al
lowing the meat to cook so long that it
raises itself from the bones, as it were
for then it is what is graphically known
as being "done TO rags. New York

Trees Which Bear But Once.

The sago palm tree bears but one crop
of fruit. Its load of nuts is its first and
final effort in the way of fruit bearing.
The nuts become ripe and are strewn in
thousands around the tree until the
great stem stands up by itself, empty and
bare. The branches turn brown and
crop one by one to the ground. Inside
the trunk the work of decay is going on
until what at one time was mass of
white sago and pith becomes nothing but
Il collection of rotten brown fbers. One
day the trade wind blows more strongly
nan usual and the leafless column of the
trunk falls with a crash, destroying in
its fall many of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before. The tall
put or Palmyra palm, a native Of Ceylon,
is another tree which flowers and bears
fruit but once. When about eighty
years old, which is when it has attained
its full growth, the flower spike bursts
from its envelope with a loud report. In
the course of fifteen or twenty months it
showers down an abundance of nuts,
and this effort to produce numei Gus
succession proves fatal to the parent.
The fruit is round and very hard, about
the size of a cherry, and so abundant
that one tree will produce sufficient to
plant large district. - Brooklyn Eagle.

CUTTING OFF THE BLOOMS

The old fancy that cutting off the
blooms of potatoes will increase the
weight and quality of the tubers seems
to have broken out afresh, but careful
experiments made in England and Swift
zerland disproye this. The theory was
given to the world by German ex.
perimenter, who published the results of
series of experiments which showed
that considerable gain III the weight
and quality of the tubers resulted in
cutting off the blooms.
An account of series of experim euts
made by an intelligent Englishman seem
to be so thorough that it is worth while
to give his results. His experiments ex
tended over period of three seasons,
with but one variety, Paterson's Vic
toria potaso, a profuse bloomer, and at
that time in general cultivation in Eng.
land. In no single year was there any
difference in the quality and weight Of
the potato, and the average results
showed that there was no gain derivable
from this operation.
Thorough experiments were made in
Switzerland to test the truth of this
theory. The many varieties of potatoes
grown in that country were subjected to
the experiment. The test was carried
through several seasons in order to make
the result more accurate. At the close
OF the experiments the conclusion
reached did not corroborate the theory
advanced by the German experimcnter
The Englishman, after reviewing the
experiments made in Switzerland and
those by himself, draws this conclusion
"This system, therefore, is of no use to
us while we have our present varieties oI
potatoes, no matter what it may be else
where, and if properly tested it will in
al! probabilities be found to be of little
value anywhere. ."-American Farmer.

CHECKER BOARD WORK.

Woven or checker board work for
cushions and anti-macassars is quite
popular and not at all difficult to make.
For hard usage the wider kind of mohair
skirt braid is most serviceable, but satin
ribbon is, of course, much handsomer.
Select two colors or two shades or the
same color and cut the ribbon into strips
of the required length; pin each strip
to a cutting board or table and weave
cross pieces of the other shade in and
out with regularity. The intersections
should afterwards be secured at the back
by an invisible stitch or two. A broader
plain ribbon or piece of plush, match
ing one of the shades used in the weav-
ing, may be sewed on for border, and
for an anti-macassar lace or fringe can
be added to the lower edge.-New York
