The VOla.

A. Fl. MCPHERSON, in the Zoologi +,
quotes an interesting passage from
Aristotle to show that the great phi.
losopher was as well acquainted as we
are with the peculiarities and habits of
the field vole, whose destructiveness is
cause of much tribulation to farmers
in Scotland as well as in the Pelopon-
nese. He speaks of their depredations
as $50 serious that some small farmers
having on one day observed that their
corn was ready for harvest, when they
went the following day to cut their
corn, found it all eaten. The manner
of their disappearance, also," he con-
tinues, ''is unaccountable, for in few
days they all vanish, although before
hand they could not be exterminated
by smoking and digging them out, nor
by hunting them and turning swine
among them to root up their runs.
Foxes also hunt them out, and wild
weasels ere very ready to destroy them
but they cannot prevail over their
numbers and the rapidity of their in
crease, nor, indeed, can anything pre-
v&il over them but rain, and when this
comes they disappear verv soon."

Dyspepsia Preventative.

An experienced physician is credited
by the Western Rural with the following
eratuitous prescription, faithful use OF
which, he AYERS, would do away with
dyspepsia eleven times out of twelve:
"People not habitually great eaters
are guilty OF serious indiscretion In the
time and manner OF taking food. HALF
the people know have violent attacks
of indigestion because they persist in
eating hearty meals when in an exhausted
condition. They seem never able or
willing to realize that there are times
when the system Is In no fit state to
grapple with full meal. They come
in tired and hungry, almost ravenous,
not thinking that maybe good deal OF
what they consider hunger Is gastric
irritation, then sit down to table and
overtax the already strained vital powers.
AS rule no person should eat when
very hungry. The wise thing to do is
to drink cup of water with three or
four tablespoonfuls of milk in, sit down
five minutes and then begin slowly to eat
and eat very sparinply,"

ANEsrurr1cs FOR HORSES.

A correspondent of the London Live
Stock Journal writes: 'In extremely
painful operations on the human SUBJ
ject anesthetics are almost invariably
employed. The patient is rendered
insensible. This not only renders the
operation painless, but affords the
operator every facility for conducting
his work, in consequence of the per-
feet placidity of his subject.
'It is sign of the times that chloro-
form is coming into use in operations
on the lower animals as well. In the
practice of gelding it has been freely
adopted, and with great success, by
several veterinary practitioners during
the last few years.
cit is to be hoped the system will
become general. Licensed vivisec-
tionists are instructed to use anes-
thetics when conducting their investi-
cations. The time is probably not far
off when humanitarians-or rather
'beastarians, as they have been called
will be strong enough to pass law
that colts operated upon to destroy
their fertility shall be duly chloro-
formed or rendered insensible by some
other efficacious anesthetic. 1t would
therefore be well if those who now op-
crate in the old fashion would pursue
the new and better way SO as to be
prepared for future regulations. The
administration of chloroform is a
simple matter in skilled hands and in

A Poets Turn Of Luck,

When six years ago Joaquin Miller
went to California and bought tract of
land a mile east OF Oakland people
laughed, writes Z. W. Box. Aud for
a number of years tho poet himself al.
most believed that the people were right.
Miller bought at that time what was
probably one of the most unpromising
pieces of property in California. The
tract consisted Of 100 acres, and nearly
all OF it lay On steep and stony noun
tain side. The eccentric poet went at
the cultivation of his new possession with
will. And he did mostly all of his
work alone. Soon the property began
to chow the hand of progress. But it
required work of the hardest kind. And
during all this time the land was fast
proving, even the poet almost believed,
the worst type of an "eephant." Now,
however, the lard is almost a park of the
most picturesque order. On 1t the poet
has planted %, 600 fruit trees, hundreds
OF olive trees, and miles of rare roses.
Springs were introduced; trout brooks
were stocked; walks and drives were
made. Water is plentiful on the place,
and that counts for everything on Cali
fornian placs. The poet is now, l am
told, beginning to see the rewards for
his labors. He ships his roses to Den
yer in the winter, and four weeks ago
one of his first shipments came to the
New York market. The roses are of ths
finest specimens, command good prices,
and from this branch of his possessions
alone 1t 10 not unlikely that Joaquin
Miller may soon acquire neat little in
come. His pace is in the direct grow
ing Fne of Olkland, and the city Is
gradually approaching the poets habita-
tion. He docs hut little work with the
pen, but devotes nearly all his time to
the further cultivation OF his place and
the development of the industries posi-

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
i'll large earthen 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 a steamer
until broom splint will 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 skim
mer, and put them into stone jar.
Take good cider vinegar for the basis
of the pickle. Allow pound of sugar
to 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 quart of vinegar is usu-
ally sufficient for the rinds of medium
sized melon. Boil the vinegar, sugar
and spices together vigorously half an
hour, skimming off the froth, and pour
the pickle boiling hot over the rinds.
Press the rinds down under the pickle
by means of an earthen plate or saucer,
fasten the cover on, and tie cloth
over the whole. These pickles will be
ready for use in two weeks. -Harper's

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The Houghton is good variety Of
gooseberry.
For currant worms spray with white
hellebore and water.
Sugar beets are better than mangel
wurzels for feeding stock.
The hog is good animal to keep in
connection with the dairy.
The clover crop is very valuable both
as feed and as soil renovator.
Toavoid thumps diminish the amount
of food and give regular exercise.
The Kiefer pear is commended fol
its keeping and canning qualities.
Sheep would pay better ii superior
grade were kept. The trouble has been
the inferior quality of the stock.
Pinching back the new growth on
the berry vines increases the hearing
surface and keeps the bushes low.
The bees get great deal of honey
from the locust blossoms. The honey
is of pale red gold color, and keeps
we'll.
Many low, marshy piece of ground
can be made into harvest field for
the bees by planting willows, asters,
or mint.
Ewes that have proved themselves
good mothers, and especially if they
produce twins, should be kept in the

old.

TOMATOES RIPE AND RED.

1t is not so very many years since
tomatoes, or Glove apples" as they
were then called, might be seen ranged
along the country manteIpiece, divid-
ing the honors with shell flowers and
wax wreaths.
They were considered then as rank
poison, unfit for the proud position
they now occupy on the table Even
after that belief was disproved, they
were widely suspected of being the
subtle cause of cancer, and their pop
ularity suffered not little thereby.
But now they are recognized as one of
the chief of vegetables, and new ways
of preparing them are being constant
ly devised by knowing cooks.
To make ''tomato eggs" cut three or
four good sized and not too ripe to-
matoes into halves. Take out little
of the inside, lay them in pan con-
tanning two ounces of heated butter,
and fry them lightly; when nearly
done carefully dropa raw egg from the
shell into each tomato; watch till it
has set perfectly, then take each one
separately from the pan and lay it on
a slice of buttered toast cut to the side
of the fruit. Dust over them little
coralline pepper, and sprinkle little
finely grated ham ON the white of each
egg. Serve on o hot dish, and garnish
with the leaves of the tomato.
Here is another way of making q
dish that will be feast to the eye as
well as to the palate. At the blossom
end of six ripe tomatoes make a small
hole of sufficient size to hold dice
shaped piece of butter that has been
dipped in pepper, salt, and grated nut
meg (mixed). Place them in cup
shaped mushroom, previously soused
in heated butter and slightly busted
with pepper. Arrange them on we'll
oiled dish and set them in hot oven
to cook. Take the soft roes from six
'bloaters, season them with oil and
pepper, curl them round, and grill
quickly on buttered paper over clear
fire. When the tomatoes and mush-
rooms are cooked remove them from
the oven and place roe on each one.
Round the whole pour a gill of ham
coulis.
To make tomato fritters, boil, peel
and pound to pulp four tomatoes.
Beat this pulp up with the yolks of
four and the whites of two eggs, four
tablespoonfuls of cream; season with
u little grated nutmeg and dash of
cinnamon. Beat the whole till the bat
ter is very light, then divide it into
small fritters, and fry quickly in a pan
OF heated butter. Drain on kitchen
paper and send to table with the fol-
lowing sauce: Melt an ounce of butter
In clean saucepan, skim it well, add
the juice from two lemons and table
spoonful of caster sugar. When all is
thoroughly heated send the sauce to
table in tureen. New York Sun.

THE TIME TO CUT BUSHES.

Any time is good one to cut bushes
to destroy the growth. If the leaves
can be prevented from growing one
season, the bushes will die, but other
wise they may be cut down to tie
roots every year for a lifetime and
every spring they will sprout again.
The cutting should begin at once, and
as fast as the new sprouts appear these
should be removed. But the most
effective way to rid the land of any
kind OF brush is to take out the roots
by means of a heavy plow and mat
took. 1t is more work at the begin
ming, but saving in the end. New

RAISING FARM TEAMS,

Farmers too often sell the best
horses and content themselves with
any sort of team on the farm as
being of little consequence, and too
often even sell good grade mares that
would raise fine colt and do better
work than any other horse on the
farm, but the buyer offers a good
price and the best producer on the
farm is sold.
English and French farmers have
pure bred draught mares to proftably
do the farm work and raise colt
every year that pays the rent. Mr..
McLain, at n Kansas Farmers Insti-
tute, advocated breeding high class
horses and having good teams ON the
farm. He said:
1t is impossible to estimate the
difference between a good and poor
team on farm. One means success,
the other means failure. l am asked
to say which breed of horses I con.
slider the most promising to raise for
sale. l suppose, of course, they mean
for the farmers in this section,
engaged, as they are, in profitable
farming. would say that if one-half
of the farmers here kept an account
and knew just what their horses cost
them when grown and ready to work
they would find that they have cost
them more than they could be sold for
would say, for most farmers, to raise
(if for sale) draught horses. My
reasons are the following:
l. Early maturity. Draught horses
can be gotten on the market one year
younger than warm blooded horse.
2. They are easily broken. 1t takes
less time to fit them for market. They
do not require such perfect condition
as driving horse.
8. Then, too, if by chance they have
a slight blemish they will pass muster
where such a blemish would unfit o
driver for market.
4. 1t don't require any more feed to
raise big draught horse than it does
a smooth, warm blooded hose.
Now, to sum up, would say, if you
raise horses at all raise good ones of
some pure breed. am anxious that
our neighborhood should excel in
everything. L am in favor of special
farming. think one-half of us ought
to quit raising horses. Let those who
do, raise higher grade of horses and
raise them better and worth much
more money than those we are now
raising.
The mongrel, mixed up breeds we
have been raising must go. They ought
to have gone twenty years ago. The
little splinter skinned drivers are of
no value-so called warm blood. If
You raise drivers raise horses sixteen
hands high, weighing eleven to thir-
teen hundred pounds, that can draw
two persons in buggy six to eight
miles per hour without expressing
them. Life is too short and business
too pressing to go plodding along the
road after a plug horse. Western
