HOME MADE sAUsAGE5.

The present fashion OF mixing sal,.
ages is TO use clsinys Of fine cotton cloth
when they are net intended to be kept
for long time. Bat as the cloth is not
ar-tight and the gu5 castings are, the
latter are used for the bologna sausagos
that are intended for keeping. The
large intestinos are selected for this
purpose aad turned inside out and we'll
washed. They are then left in water a
few days until t2e lining mem oralc be-
comes soft and nay be scrapel of, when
the cleaned castings are saltel and kept
in brine until used. The meat is finely
chopped and seasoned with salt, pepper
and any kind ofsp;cas thought desirable,
AMI tie castings are filled solidly. The
sausa9eS are made a5ou: eighteen inches
long, and are smoked in the usual way.
The best European bologna sausa3cs are
made in this wa: Equal parts Of beef
and pork are chopped and beaten fine
in mortar. The meat is then spread
out and sprinklel with brown sugar and
beaten again. II is then seasoned with
two parts OF salt AMI one Of saItpetre,
finely powdered, to which are added
powdered mace, ajlspice, white pepper
and bay leaves. The meat is rolled OUT
fiat, and thin strips of fat pork are laid
on it in rows. Tae meat is then rolled
~-A pat INTO the castings, Or may be
sewn up in cloth, the ends being tied.
They are then smoked. The host I'M

that this addition gives a fine flavor and

MAKE THE FARM BUILDINGS COMFORTABLE

haNH 1 M ANN bUlLDIN0S COMFORTABLE
A farmer should never attempt to win
ter more stock than he can furnish with
comfortable shelter. Many farmers have
large farm buildings but they soon get
out of repair, board off, door hang
ing by one hinge, or leaky roofs. Such
buildings are not comfortable. The
openings allow snow to continually sift
in, or give free and uninterrupted access
to drafts of cold air. In such cases
pound of nails and few hours time in
repairing often saves ton of hay in one
winter. A building which is simply
boarded up should have the cracks bat
tened and thus made as tight and close
as possible. Use steel wire nails long
enough to be ciinched. This takes d
little longer but the battens will then
always remain close fitting, which means
warmer room aud stock in better con-
dition with less fodder. The building
should not be made so close as to be un-
comfortable during the pleasant days of
spring, but there should be free and
thorough ventilation when the higher
temperature may require it. Fodder
may be cheap, But nails and boards are
cheaper, whereas feea ia gone III single
season, swhile buildings are a permenent
investment. Provide suitable racks and
managers to feed the stock from, and do
not feed from the ground or snow bank.
Keep the different kinds of stock in
separate Enclosure. Feed regularly, and
provide an adequate supply of fresh
water.-American Agriculturlst.

French pvI-;nts,

the benefits accruing from the owner
ship Of land by the pcasantry. As
native of England, she seems to have

DANGER In PEAS.

Peas will kill cattle. The reason is
that the cattle eat them and then drink
water. The peas swell and distend the
stomach of the animals until they burst.
There is nothing in the peas themselves;
it is the swelling produced by the water.
Dry corn acts in the same way. It has
been suggested by compel ent agricultural
authorities that the famous or Infamous
lockwood, which is variety of the pea
family, may cause the death of animals
which eat it in the same way. There is
nothing harmful in the weed itself. 49,

TEAMS IN WINTER.

After the corn is cribbed and the fall
blowing done there is not a great deal
of team work to be done during the
winter. There will be some feed to
haul, more or less manure to haul out and
some fuel to haul. Usually one team
will do all that is necessary. 1t will be
best to have this team well shod and we'll
fed so that they can readily do what is
required of them. 1t is always an item
to keep them thrifty, feeding and groom
ing we'll and regularly. 1t does not pay
to allow any of them to run down, and
while with those that are not at work it
is always an item to winter as economi-
cally as possible, at the same time the eco
nomical wintering should never be done
at the expense Of condition. Close con-
fnement is not good for horses. They
need exercise and they should be allowed
to run out every day that the weather
will permit. 1t may not be advisable to
turn them out into the pastures, but they
can have the run of lot to good advan-
tage. If well sheltered and gwen plenty
of roughness very little grain will be
needed, but they should have some. Un-
threshed oats run through feed cutter,
with a small quantity of bran, makes one
of the very best feeds for the idle teams
in winter. But hay and corn fodder,
with little corn and bran, will make a
good ration. O1ce a week give all the
horses bran mash. This will have a
tendency to keep the bowels open and
will serve also to make variety.
Never feed more of anything than
they will eat up clean. Even with straw
or corn fodder only what they will eat
clean should be given. This is neces-
sary if they have good appetite.
Corn can nearly always be fed with
benefit when the weather Is very cold On
account CT its heating qualities. Use all
reasonable care to keep them comfort
able, as in this way it is much easier to
keep them thrifty.
While it is not necessary to feed the
teams that are not at work as much as
those that are at work will need, yet 1t
will pay at all times to supply enough to
keep them thrifty,a as in the end 1t will
cost less than to allow them to run down
aud then be Obliged to feed up before
the season for work opens. The best
way is to begin in good season increas-
ing the rations as it may seem necessary.

A E:re-IiChtcr,

An invention which IS veritable
boon to bousekeepors is a "0re-
lighter" This consists Of small
iron box filled with asbestos, on VIII ch
a little parattine oil is poured and lit.
The box. which has a long handle, is
inserted between the bars of the
crate, in which the coal has been
placed loosely to allow the oil to flame
freely. In about quarter of an hour
a really good fire is made, and if wood
is used it will ignite, of course, in a
much shorter time. With a very lit
tie care there would really be no need
of kindline good at all with this lit

IT is practically, although not tech

But tillage with manure is safer rule,
if you are after big and paying crops.

with practice' is the combination that

OFFICIALS ARE BUSY
In the Endeavor TO Place the Blame For the
Mint Robbery.

PHILADELPHIA, sept. l6.-Director OF the
Mint Preston and Mr.. Morgan, repre-
Benting the mint bureau, are Weighing the
gold In the suspected vault. from which
gold valued at sl05, 900 is missing The
discovery of the shortage was made Thurs
day by Director Preston of the treasury
department at Washington, who came
here to weigh the gold bullion in one OF
the res.gye vaults. A searching investiga-
tion is Ving made by Superintendent Bos-
byshell aud the government officials.
Upon prefening a request for the pres
ence of n treasury official when the vault
should be opened, Director Preston re-
minded Colonel Bosbyshell that he had
raised no question touching the contents
Of the vault and will be held responsible.
The seals clearly show that the doors OF
the vaults have not been opened since they
were closed on the bullion In 1887, and II
there has been an abstraction a felonious
entrance must have been made through
one of the walls of the vault, which are Is
inches thick.
The mint was robbed of $500 in silver
In 1873, which was afterwards recovered in
New York. The superintendent OF the
mint here is under bond of 100000, and
some of the wealthiest men of the city
are on II. A thorough Sssmination Is
being made TO fix the guilt.

MADRID, Sept. GA dispatch from Villa
Canas says that 90 dead bodies have been

deaths were caused by the flooding of the
cave dwellings on the outskirts of the
town. These dwellings are holes, Dug
into the hillside almost on level with
the plain.
They are occupied by the poorest fami-
lies. The lower caves were filled at the
first rising of the food and the occupants
were drowned before they had time for
any effort to escape. Other caves were
but half filed and the families In them
still await rescue
The entrances to many caves have been
blocked by falling earth. The authorities
OF Madrid and Toledo have sent companies
of sappers and miners to rescue the fami-
lies thus imprisoned. Pumps from this
city will reach the town tomorrow. Food
has been collected hastily and is being car
ried to the sufferers
