Cattle Farming in Paraguay.

Fannie B. Ward in Belfast Journal
What is the cost Of the stocking of a
cattle-farm in Paraguay? That is a
question I am frequently asked; and the
answer depends upon circumstances. If
you are living in the United States and
propose coming to this country, you will
find that the greatest item of expense is
the long journey, especially if you bring
a family, which costs quite enough to set
you up in moderate business nearer
home. If, however, you are on the spot.
few hundred dollars, accompanied with
q due amount of diligence and common
sense, will soon make nabob of you.
Young cattle may be bought in Argen-
tina and transported to Paraguay by
river steamers at about $500 per head
when arrived; but if you are as super
stitious abont that unlucky number as
the writer you will prefer to pay, say
$l3.25. The average price of cattle in
these parts bought al corte, that is with
out selection), is ten pesos, or about
$500 in out money. In certain localities
they are even lower, sometimes down to
four pesos per head.
No special knowledge Of the business
is required, nor exceptional care, for
nature is both kind and generous here
and nearly everything may be safely left
to her. The herds will multiply in
natural course, and the owner has little
to do about it. beyond collecting them
once a year for counting, to brand the
young ones with his own mark, and Sc
lect those that he wishes to sell. AS to
profits: After making due allowances
for losses and reserving a sufficient num-
her to keep up the stock, it is generally
computed that about Is per cent. of the
whole herd can be annually sold. This
is the proportion in Argentina also; but
localities differ. In Rio Grande do Sui it
averages 10 per cent. and in Parana only
five per cent. In this country it is GUS
tomary to sell only the three-year- old
bullocks and COWS that have ceased to
be productive. For novillas, young bull
locks) sold on the estancia, an average
price is 20 pesos-say 16 American dol
lars; and the same animals delivered at
the slaughter house in Asuncion would
command eight or ten dollars more
apiece. If taken to Fray Bentos, in
Uruguar, where the great Leibig factory
is situated, they would bring i'll gold
piastres an equivalent for 10 pesos, ac-
cording to the state of the market; and
how the figures above named compare
with those in the United States, am I'M
able to say, never having given the SUBJ
ject attention in the latter country.

The Nicaragua Canal Company has
shut down for lack of funds. Attempts
to market the company's bonds have not
been successful, and the prospect of gov
eminent assistance is altogether too
slight to warrant the company proceed
ing on the strength of that. The compa-
ny do not anticipate that the present
shut down will be permanent. With the
return of better times they hope to
enlist the aid of capitalists and gather in
money enough to revive the work. It
is figured out that the canal can be built
for $S5, 0O0 600, but it will be safe to add
good many millions to this to cover
the errors of Judgment and the things
that have not been thought of.

Naturalists on Mt Washington.
SUMMIT MT. WASHINGTON,
II,lu tx

y
July Is.
Travel to the summit has been very
light during the past week. Perhaps
the unsettled state of business has tend
ed to keep the business men in town.
Seldom has it happened that so many
naturalists have met on this mountain as
during the past week. Mr.. W. G. Prime
of the journal of Commerce, who is an
authority upon the insects of these
mountains has been here, and he has
been accompanied by Mrs. A. L. Slosson
whose collection of beetles is very COM
plete one. Mr.. Edwin Faxon and Mr..
Emile F. Williams of Boston. The two
latter have been botanizing and show
good results for their labors.
Messrs. Ontram Bangs and E. L. Miller
Jr. have been studying mammalia, and
find many animals closely allied to the
Lowland species.
Major Ilsley, who is stopping at the
Ottawa House, Cushings, made a brief
visit to the Summit the past week, re-
turning to Portland by way of the Glen
House. He was accompanied by Miss
Dunn, Miss Grant and Mr.. DeForest
Grant. @ w.

tered among the mountains: At White

THE HOME.
GRASS STAINS.

Stains from grass are among the most
difficult to successfully treat. The
green color is very tenacious, and boiling
water very generally produces no effect.
A method which sometimes gives sue
cess consists in dipping the spot in mo-
lasses and letting it lie for few minutes
till the fabric is thoroughly saturated.
Then rinse the molasses out with
clear water, which is most effective
when simply warm, and the stain will
have gone with it. When this fails, a
solution of chloride of tin may be en-
ployed. Make a bath of moderate
strength, dip the stain therein, and i'm
mediately wash it out with plenty of
clear water. Many spots which are too
firmly set to be removed by any ordinary
means may be taken out in this manner.
especially with warm bath of the chic
rine water; but the article is not to be al
lowed to remain for any length of time
III the solution, and is to be thoroughly
washed when taken out The hands are
also to be kept out of the chlorine water
as much as possible, as it may cause
soreness. Good Housekeeping.
THE CHERRY,
Cherry Pie.-Line plate with a good
crust, put in a layer of cherries (the tart
ones preferred), sprinkle with sugar,
dust with just trife of cornstarch; ;
cover and bake in moderate oven. Eat
cold, with sugar sifted over the top.
Any juicy fruit pie should have strip
of clean cloth-wet in cold water
pressed down around the edge, just be-
fore putting in the oven, to prevent the
juice from running over.
Cherry Roly Poly.--Make light paste
as for apple dumplings; roll in an oblong
sheet and fill with cherries, sour if pos
sible. Sprinkle with white sugar, roll
closely, folding the end over carefully to
preserve the strip. Boil in pudding bag
one and one-half hours, and serve with
hot sweet sauce.
Cherry Charlotte.-Take fresh cherries,
if In season; if not, one quart of canned,
and making very rich and sweet, put in a
basin on the back of the range to heat.
Butter some slices of light, stale bread,
first trimming off the crust Then put a
layer of buttered bread in the bottom of
a pudding dish, and pour over it the hot
fruit; repeat until dish is full. Let it
stand until thoroughly cold, over night
if possible. Serve with cream.
Cherry Pudding. -Put pitted and
sweetened cherries, an inch or SO deep,
in the bottom of a pudding dish. Pour
over them the following mixture: One
cupful of sugar beaten to cream with
two ia blespoonfuls of butter, one egg,
one cupful of milk, two cupfuls of -four
and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder;
flavor with nutmeg or lemon. Bake,
turn from dish and serve with warm
sweet sauce, having fruit on top.
Cherry Jam. Twelve pounds of ripe
cherries, one pound of sugar, with one
half-dozen blanched cherry stones. Boil
gently until clear
Picked Cherries.-Boil together one
quart of vinegar, two pounds of sugar,
one-half ounce of mace,-the spices tied
in thin muslin bag. Pour this while

A popular subscription has been start
ed at Chicago for the benefit of the fami-

ment is destined to attract much more
popular sympathy than the one intended
to help the Duke of Veragua, and is
much more worthy of it.

COFFEE JELLY.

One pint sugar, one pint strong coffee.
one and one-half pints boiling water, one
box gelatine. Soak the gelatine in one
half pint cold water and when dissolved.
pour in the boiling water, add the sugar
and coffee, then strain and put in
moulds.
SWEET Picked WATERMELON RINDs.
Peel the rinds with sharp knife that
will take off the green skin evenly.
Trim off also every trace of the pink
flesh of the fruit, because it is too juicy
to make firm, crisp pickle. Then cut
the strips of rind into small pieces two
to three inches long, and placing them
in large earthern dish, sprinkle them
lightly and evenly with salt. Cover the
dish, and let it stand overnight. In the
morning drain off the water that will
have formed, rinse the rinds in cold
water, and cook them in steamer until
broom splint will have readily pierce
them. Cooking the rinds by steam is an
easy method, as they are less liable to
burn than when cooked in the spiced
vinegar. When the rinds are tender
take them out carefully with a skim
mer, and put them into stone Jar.
Take good cider vinegar for the basis of
the pickle. Allow pound of sugar to a
pint of vinegar, and add also half an
ounce of stick cinnamon broken into inch
pieces, and half teaspoonful each Of
whole cloves and blades of mace The
whole amount of vinegar, sugar and.
spices used must of course depend on
the quantity of rinds to be picked, but a
quart of vinegar is usually sufficient for
the rinds of a medium-sized melon.
Boil the vinegar, sugar, and spices to-
gether vigorously half an hour, Skim
ming off the froth, and pour the pickle
rinds down under the pickle by means
of an earthen plate of saucer, fasten the
covers on, and tie a cloth over the whole,
These will be ready for use in two
weeks.--Harper's Bazaar.
