Travels of "a Rich Prince of the Orient l,

Among all the oriental princes who
have come to the United States this
summer to see how the Americans live
in their republic is the nawab of Ram
pur. lie is one of the richest young
men in the world, his income being
equal to four hundred Thousand dollars
year His grandmother was loyal to
the British governmental the time that
England was taking possession of In
dia, and as a reward she was exempted
from the heavy taxes which Great
Britain levies upon the rest of her East
ern provinces. This young prince is
still minor. He is small, dark and
unprepossessing in appearance. He is
completing his educa ton under the di-
rection of British officer, the last step
being tour around the world, lie has
already crossed the continent, and will
90 from New York to London, where he
will be presented to Queen Victoria.
While in America he dresses as Ameri-
cans do, with the exception of Turkish
fez which he wears instead OF hat
matter of food, however, Being Mo
hammedan, he and the members of his
party are unable to eat animal food
that has not been prepared in accord
ance with the rules of their faith. Ac-
cordingly, they ate nothing but rice
nd vegetables until they were nearly
tarve Finally physician was
all, d in, who prescribed square meals
for the party. The cook which the
prince brought with him then killed
some chickens, which were brought .or
the purpose, and prepared dish If
chicken curry, of which the prince and
mis- party ate heartily. Thereafter,
while they were in New York, there
was no lack of the food which the
young potentate is accustomed to cat
when he is at home. -Harper's Young

A FREAK OF NATURE.
The Most Remarkable Curiosity Among
Apples Yet Recorded.


Apples Yet Recorded.
Although the effect of the root-stoclS
on grated fruit is well known general
ly, yet there is continual inquiry on
the subject The freak of nature, or
probably the natural result of grating,
referred to here, may be interesting as
well as instructive.
On "greening" tree was grated
some scions from ''sweeting" tree
Not an apple from the scions was all
sweet or all sour but every apple was
both sweet and sour in nearly equal
proportions. Half of an apple might
be sweet and the other half sour; or
there might be several sweet parts and
alternately as many sour parts, the skin
of the latter being green and that of
the former yellow.
The sweet and sour parts of every APP
pie were shaped like the parts of an
orange, and it was possible to cut a
slice of sweet and then slice of sour
apple until the whole apple was divided
into equal parts. In cooking the apples
baking them for ''apples and milk
the sour parts of an apple were cut ont
and slices from another sweet apple in
serted, and the whole when baked was
like an apple originally all sweet, -

Houseleepers family realize the
danger of an indiscriminate use of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
uvged uponconsumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their SALE Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inflame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
ton, heartburn, diarrheal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-prodlc-
Ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepers are aware OF the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes! Yet INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make a very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders so made, by all kinds of allur-
ing advertisements and false repre-
sentations- All the low-priced or So
called cheap baking powders, and all
powders sold with gift or prize, be-
long to this class.
| Baking powders made from chemical
ly pure cream of tartar and Bi-caI oon-
ate of soda are among the most useful
of modern culinary devices. They not
only make the preparation of finer and
more delicious cookery possible, but
they have added to the digestibilty
and wholesomeness of our food. But
baking powders must be composed Of
such pure and wholesome ingredients
or they must be tabooed entirely.
DR.. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the Doc
tor of Hygiene, indicates that the nd
vantages of good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers Of
bad ones in which the harsh and caus-
tic chemicals are used, are to be Sc
cured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers, "Thc
Royal" he says, contains nothing but
cream of tartar and soda refined to a
chemical purity, which when combined
under the influence of heat and mos-
ture produce pure carbonic, or leaven-
ing. gas. The two materials used,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined in ex-
act compromising weights, so that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically dis
appear, the substance of both having
been taken to form carbonic acid gas. "
Hence it is, he says, that the Royal
Baking Powder is the most perfect OF
all conceivable agents for leavening
purposes.
1t seems almost Incredible that any
manufacturer or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in place of those
of well-known, pure, and wholesome
character simply for the sake of few
cents pound greater profit; but since
they do, few words of warning seen
to be necessary.

Speaking of the screw worm the Mis-
sissippi station says that nearly one
half the cases in cattle occur when
ticks have been crushed. The great
trouble is that cattle are not kept free
from these pests. The old manner of
killing the ticks by the application of
kerosene, sulphur or tobacco requires
more time than the average stock raiser
can give, and when the ticks are de-
stroyed in this way it is but short
time before they are again abundant
The method of combating with ticks
practiced by this station is by feeding
sulphur with the salt. covered
trough is made in one corner of the
pasture, and in this is kept quantity
of sulphur and salt, about half and half.
When the supply is nearly exhausted
the trough is refilled and thus the cat
tie can get it whenever they may wish.
Some claim this will cause rheumatism
during wet weather, but no such re-
suits have ever been noticed, and when
thus given the sulphur will keep the
cattle free from the ticks

ed is also growing in popular favor in
the south, not only on cotton planta-
tions, but on sugar plantations as we'll
Time was when the planter sought for
quantity on wide expanse; now he
seeks 1t more in small area thoroughly

yield of sugar alone in Louisiana is 152
per cent more than it was fifteen years

in the cotton yield has been 100 per

ABOUT THE SCUPPERNONG.
Experience of German VIticulturist In
the South,

IL
the South.
Upon the subject of fruit growing in
the south the Farmer and Fruit Grower
says: The southerners are just begin
ming to learn that handsome profits
may be made by the skillful cultivation
of fruits. Some who have been aware
of this for several years have not had
the means to change from the old
routine of raising cotton, cane, etc, A
German writer states that he was born
and raised in one of the best wine dis
tricts on the Rhine, and had worked in
vineyards twenty years before his re-
moval to the United States. Over here
he engaged in the energetic cultivation
of the scuppernongs, and had had TWEEN
ty years experience in this before he
wrote. Comparing these with the vines
of Germany, he states that the latter
yielded only one fine crop in five years,
and that two crops out of five would
be poor. He began planting fifteen
feet apart, and increased the distance
TO twenty-five; then to thirty-five, and
lastly 10 1olty-hVe' III may be re-
marked how different this from bunch
or staked grapes, at six feet apart each
way, which, we believe is the distance
in the vineyards along the Ohio. A few
dozen scuppernongs will cover an acre;
while it takes thousands of the Euro.
pean grapes. He found that the greater
distance he gave the better for the
vines, the quality of the juice and the
quantity produced. He fortified only
every other year and this was.done by
a trench spade deep and two spades
wide, just outside of the reach of the
branches, and filing it with a rich COM
post. The grapes were gathered by
four men holding canvas and shaking
the vines over it with the back of a
rake; five men could thus gather 100
bushels in day when the vines had
been well trained from the beginning

Filth breeds disease and provides the
best conditions for lice. A lock of
hens require but few days in which
to cover the floor of the poultry-house
with their droppings, and the surface OF
the yard is often in a disgusting condi-
ton when neglected for week in the
summer. The poultry-house can more
easily be kept 3lean by performing
that duty frequently than by waiting
too long and the yards should be
spaded occasionally in order to turn the
filth under the surface. Farm and

LIGHT ROAD MACHINE.
New York Maps Substitute for the
IIeavY "IIOrsL Nillnrs."

Heavy "HorsL Killers"
Regardless of the compulsion of the
law, self-intercst in every rural commu-
nifty demands good roads They in
crease the facility for marketing prod
nee, save in horse flesh and wagon re-
pairs, attract money-spending summer
visitors and enhance the value of prop
erty. The macadam and similar sys-
TENS are unquestionably the best, al
though rather costly at first But UNI
fortunately in many country towns the
usual method of roadmaking consists of
blowing up the loan, clay, gravel and
turf and scraping it up toward the cen
ter of the highway, with more or less
bungling attempts at smoothing. Spe-
clal machines for this purpose have
been devised, some of them heavy and
cumbrous, weighing from 1000 TO 5000
pounds, needing from four to six horses
or oxen to operate them, and so eXpan-
sive as not 20 be turned around easily
on narrow road. They are costly in
more ways than oRe, not merely to the
town or district which buys them, but
to the owners of horses which are
hitched thereto in service. Hence the
road machine invented by Stockport
columbia county, N. Y man and rep
resented herewith, may, perhaps fill a
long-felt want in many parts of the
country. Only single sample has
been built, but it has been practically
tested. Its weight is only 400 pounds,
1t needs only a pair of horses, can turn
easily anywhere, and the inventor
claims that it does better work and
does it more easily than anything else
of the kind.
AS will be seen from the accompany
ing picture, the machine is mainly sup
ported by one wheel, the axle of which
is secured to section of anglo.i iron
that serves as continuation of the
pole, and resembles plow beam. The
wheel is Hanged, in order to make il
run exactly in the line of draft. A
tendency to shift to one side results
from the angle at which the scraper
blade is set with the beam. A stay-rod
shown herewith, maintains this angle
and it may be used, in cooperation with
the beam, to sustain drivers seat. The
scraper- blade is six feet long, ano
tapers from nine to twelve inches il
width. Bolted on to the lower half o.
its front surface are two cast-iror
| plates, or shears. The rear lever is uset
to change the level of the surface O.
the road, grading up from side toward
center, and also to lift the blade en-
tirely free from the ground when going
to and fro or turning around A small
wheel, not visible in our illustration, il
placed under the nigh" or forward
end of the blade, to carry that part o
the apparatus when not in use, anC
also at times, especially in soft soil, t.
regulate the depth to which the blad
