What Becomes of Vast Amount of Gold
and Silver.

and Silver.
Between 1859 and 1889, thirty years,
or half one lifetime, India has absorbed
Elf, 900, 900 in gold and 1927, 900, 900 In
silver, or 1885,, 1000, 900 in all. What has
become of the silver we do not exactly
know, though it is certain that great
proportion of it is boarded as fixed and
ton of the gold there is no doubt what
ever. The people have kept the whole
of it in their own hands, for 1t is not in
circulation, and are using it either in
ornaments, or kept, be it observed, to
pawn in extremity, or as boarded treas
nre in coin, such as lies under almost
every PEASANTS floor in the Punjab
md Eastern Bengal.
India is treasure house of gold, yet
man may live fifty years in the
British provinces and never see an
ounce. The whole of this wealth, says
Lord Roberts, with perfect justice, and
especially the gold which represents
obviously and necessarily part Of the
profit on the foreign trade, is due to
.ecurity, and security is due to the
presence of that army of $4,000 white
men, which is SO often represented as
a burden on the Indian peasant
1t is burden and q heavy one, but
then it is a burden the endurance Of
which produces all by which the same
peasant gains.-Spectator,

CHARCOAL EOR FOWLS.
An Excellent Summer Relish for AL
Kinds of Poultry.

An Excellent Summer Relish for All
Kinds of Poultry.
We have found charcoal a very ex-
cellent thing to furnish our poultry
with. 1t may be given in a powdered
state, mixed with the soft meal feed,
and little pulverized sulphur at the
same time may be added to advantage
But the very best way to supply this is
to burn an ear or two OF corn upon the
cob, charring it to blacl1ness and
throwing it before them, They will
devour every kernel, and so supply
themselves with grateful and healthy
substance that sweetcns the crop and
serves as an admirable tonic to the
STOMACH.
At this season of the year the above
recommendation will be found valua-
bic hint to poultrymen. Hens about
ready TO lay will devour this prepared
charcoal eagerly, and the increased
freshness and redness of their combs
afterward evince the efficacy of this al
lowance. For month or six weeks in
the early breeding season nothing is
better than this for laying hens, given
them daily.-Poultry World

This animal has a remarkable his

the identical sheep whose wool was ex-
hibited In 1859 at Cleveland, o., at the
wool Growers and Manufacturers
(World's) exhibit of wool" The COM
mittee, composed of manufacturers of
wool from England and America, out
of our 5000 pounds of wool on exhibit
ton, gave this wool the first premium.
At public sale the next day this pre-
MUM wool sold for 81. Is pound. The
next best wool of all exhibited brought
ut the same sale but sixty cents a
pound. This remarkable sheep, the
most remarkable sheep in the world to-
day, is the result of twenty-eight years
experiment in breeding and raising
sheep in this country. Golden King"
Is of the Saxony breed, the finest

TIE WINTER LAYERS.
Must Be Matched Early and Well Foo
During Warm Weather.


For keeping in winter, the most de.
sirable kind of fowls we know of are
those which will naturally give us the
greater number of eggs during that
season. Eggs in winter-from about
Thanksgiving time to EaSter-are the
most expensive to buy, because, as n
rule, SO few hens are then inclined to
lay. To possess this "winter-laying
breed" we need not travel far to OBJ.
tain the right variety Though of
course It is known that the several
Asiatics and the Plymouth Rocks are
among the best) but we must have
pullets of the right age, Of whatever
sort we keep. If these pullets are
Matched early enough the preceding
spring to have time before November
to fully mature, they will at that
period begin to lay, provided they are
properly fed and cared for during the
summer and early autumn, and have
good, snug, warm quarters to dwell in,
when the cold, sharp weather sets in.
No hens or pullets will lay eggs
in desperately cold winters, says
Poultry World, il they are ex-
posed TO the inclemency of our
December and January weather.
Now and then we find an egg
or two, dropped by the fowls in mid
winter But as rule, unless we aid
them with warmth and kind usage
then, they will not discount" for us in
the extreme cold season. If we desire
to have fresh-laid eggs, therefore, in
the winter-time, be it remembered, we
must use the pullets which have come
from the early previous spring hatch,
and we must provide them with good
warm houses, stimulating food, and
good care through the autumn and
early winter months. When we come
to the breeding stock-from which the
succeeding spring we desire to produce
fresh matches of chickens-then the
later birds of the previous year, or the
two or three-year-old hens that come
into laying in February and March, will
be profitable. Winter-laid eggs are OF
no account for Matching purposes, eX-
cept in the incubator And although it
may be well enough to start an early
brood or two annually, the bulk of all
the hen-setting done in the North oc.
ours to the best advantage after the
month of March.

Feeding Sheep for Market.

Feeding sheep for market can in
many cases be made profitable if prop
er care is taken in the management, yet
the larger proportion of the sheep sent
to market have not been fed into a
proper condition to make the best NUT
ton. This not only lessons the price it
is possible to realize, but also affects
the profits and tends to restrict con-
sumption. 1t is an exceptional case
with any kind of stock when it can be
considered desirable to send to market
before they are fully ready, and espe.
cially so at this season when il is com.
paratively easy with little care in
feeding to fully fatten for market.
With good pasturage a very little extra
feeding will fit an average sheep intc
good condition for market.-Wool and

center. This gives but one outside door
for the whole building and so adds to
its warmth in winter. The addi-
tons, as well as the ends of the main
house should be covered with building

double door and double windows, such

SWIMMING IN COOKING.
An Important Nicely which All Cooks Dc
Not Practice.

NOT Practice.
There is an art in skimming as in
most other things, to skim milk so that
no portion of cream remains on the
spoon, to remove fat from the surface
of soup or gravy so that not particle
is left to annoy fastidious taste, to
remove the scum from broth just at
the right time, ere what is thrown up
at first has been drawn down again by
the boiling liquor, and to be mindful
to skim off the frothy scum which
rises on the first boiling up of vegeta-
bles and potatoes-these are points in
the true art of cookery which are apt
to be too lightly regarded by the ordi.
nary domestic.
Who has not experienced feeling of
revoltbn seeing a crust rapidly taking
fat form on the spoon which is lifted
from the gravy, or-still more unen.
durable-little globules of grease on
the surface of the invalid cup Of beef
tea?
Many cooks argue that if soup is al
lowed to get cold and the fat of il re.
moved when solid there cannot posi-.
bly, be any further cause for fear. This
is great mistake; as soon as that soup
is allowed to boil again it will throw
up more fat, perhaps quite as much as
before.
Stock which has been made from the
liquor in which ham or bacon has been
boiled, or from meat which has much
gristle about it, like calves feet, will
be found to throw up fat as long as it
is on the fire.
The only way to get rid of this is to
skim patiently and thoroughly, keep
ing the liquor simmering, until ready
| to pour into the tureen, then to take a
piece of clean blotting paper, and,
holding it edgewise, to carefully alb
sorb all remaining particles off the sur
| face.
Soup which has been thiclxcned with
| butter rolled in -four presents the same
| troublesome features and can only be
dealt with in the same manner.
For clearing away all grease from
small quantities of gravy or beef tea,
where by Swimming one is apt to risk
losing part of the liquor, there is moth
| ing better than clean white blotting
| paper.
Some cooks boast of having what
| they call a knack of blowing grease
off the stock. The method may be in
genious, but it is far from clearly, and
most people will agree that it is very
| Objectionable.
The first scum which rises to the sur
face of boiling broth or vegetables con-
tains all the objectionable particles
which all our care in previous clean
ings could not have discovered. If this
is not removed it is speedily drawn in
again, and no after efforts will suffice
to clear the liquor.

which some stroller-by is persuaded TO
sat for a good sum of money. In this
