hRS. ASTOR DANCING. N6WpOEb villa.
The season is to be what has been termed
brass band" one-all balls, cham
payne and suppers. This is be-
cause so many millionaires emerge
from mourning this autumn. Mrs.
John Jacob Astor will give six
elaborate balls; the various Vanderbilts
are down for dinners innumera bic; the
Webbs will not be quiet by any means;
the Whitneys are to entertain in honor of
Miss Pauline; the Gerrys, the Goelets,
the Schuylers, the McAllisters, will be
very conspicuous. Mr.. Waldorf Astor is
Expected on a flying trip.
But the peculiar part of the coming sea-
son is the departure from conventional
forms of entertainment Weird dances,
elaborate carousals, will be the order of
the day, or rather of the night. Mrs AS
tor has achieved reputation as leader Of
bizarre terpsichorean mazes. She is very
fond of attiring herself in bewildering
costumes which give free play to the limb
and arm, after the fashion of France, in
which her early days were passed.
To her is due the new way of
varying a figure by having some so
ciety dame wheel into the room on a
bicycle, rider and machine Enthusiastically
befowered. In the coming weeks these
diversions are to be carried to bewilder-
ing extremes. There will be Hungarian
carnivals, flower races, ball room rose
fights. Multicolored lights have been or
dered, Mrs. Paran Stevens being an au-
thority in these latter artistic details
One moment-the dancers will be under a
stream of yellow rays; the next all will
be dark, and then burst of green, blue
and crimson light will alternately inun-
date the revelers. The whole social
season will be Viennese, exotic. Revelry
so unrestrained New York has yet to see.
Some statisticians delight to predict
what all this is to cost. Seven millions is
the figure of conservatives. Flowers will
literally flow. Diamonds are to blaze like
suns. Dresses have been ordered from
Paris unparalleled in splendor, costliness
and color That sound of revelry by night
to which Byron once made alluslon will
fill the midnight air of the big city as it
has never filled it yet.

TWO YEARS A BLANK.
The Singular Case of Young Clarence
Burns of Delaware County, Ny
From the New Yorly Gun

Burns Of Delaware County, N. Y.
From the New York Sun.
Two years ago this summer a young
man named Clarence Burns, of Delhi,
Delaware county, having completed his
freshman's year at Hamilton College, left
home to canvass for the sale of a book in
Northern New York, to earn money for
the continuance of his studies. His par
enJs heard from him a Watertown, lust
two years ago. Hearing nothing from
him after that, they became alarmed and
tried to learn his whereabouts, knowing
that something must have happened to
him. Months of search failed to give
them any trace of the missing boy be-
You'd WATERFOWL. He had left his board
ing place in that city one morning as
usual, and no one could be found who had
seen him after that.
In August, 1898, young man of pleas
ing appearance applied to George Millner,
a farmer living at Stony Creek, Went
worth county, Ontario, for work He
was hired, and when asked his name he
seemed dazed and acted as if it was with
an effort that he could give it, but finally
said it was Burns. He was a good farm
hand and soon became favorite with the
Millner family, although there was some
thing strange and iueXplicable about him.

went to work for farmer Milluer. he came
from his room early in the morning, and
gazed about him in a strange and puzzled
way. and at last exclaimed

Then Farmer Millner learned from the
young man that he was the son of Will

having been in that place and his revel-

revelation the young man fell into mis-
former state again. recognizing his sur
roundings and apparently forgetting his
own home and family again. Farmer
Millner wrote to William Burns and he
received the letter week ago. In com
uauv with another son he went to Stony
Creek and found his long and strangely
lost boy. Clarence recognized his father
and Arthur, but his mind still remained
strangely clouded. He was brought home
and recognized his family, and seemed
clad TO be back. He can give no account
of the two past years, however, He is in
charge Of Dr.. Holley of Walton, who is of

SALT MAKES MILK.

Experiments have recently been
made to ascertain whether the giving
of salt to dairy cows has any direct
bearing on the supply of milk, and
the results have been of a character
which will be surprising to many who
attach little Importance to providing
salt for their cattle. Salt they must
have in some form or another. and if
it is supplied to them in suitable guam
titles and ways, they will take sutli-
cient and no more for their own bene-
fit. For about a month, from June
20 to July Is last year, three cows
were kept without salt and the milk
from each weighed twice daily from
the 4th to the 18th of July, when they
gave 454 pounds. From July Is to
August / the same COWS received four
ounces of salt each, and during that
time the milk showed an increase of
100 pounds, the weight being 561
pounds. From this experiment it ap-
pears that there was considerable
gain, which would pay admirably any
one to keep his stock well supplied
with salt and it may also be added as
another good custom to follow to keep
plenty of fresh water where it can al
ways be accessible. - Connecticut

HOW TO MAKE A WATER MEADOW.

A water meadow is level piece of
land on the bank of a stream that is
embarked, SO as to retain the water
of the stream in freshets, and permit
it to settle and deposit the soil which
it holds in suspension. AS the mud
which comes down with the high water
is the washing of the best of the land
above, this inclosed land gathers n
large quantity of valuable soil in the
course of few years, and the grass
grown on it yields very abundantly.
In dry time the water of the stream
may be turned on to the meadow by
means of channel made further up,
or at low dam made in the stream
for the purpose, and the growth of
grass thus greatly increased. If the
land is almost level, the bank on the
side of the stream and on the lower
limit of the field need not be more
than foot high, OF course, it is pro-
vided with gates to let in the water
and discharge it at the lowest point.
1t is often the case that the water thus
turned on to the field is permitted to
flow slowly over it, settling the sus-
pended matter rs it flows. Land thus
improved has been known to pay an
interest every year on a valuation of
$1,000 an acre. New York Times.

FATTENING POULTRY,

The fattening of fowls for market
by means of the process known as
cramming is practiced to a great ex-
tent in certain localities, and decided
advantages are claimed for it. While
there seems to be great demand for
what is thought to be special de-
licacy, it may be questioned if such
methods are not productive of obiec-
tionable results. 1t is scarcely to be
expected that creatures fed in the
manner described in accounts given of
such operations will retain their
health, and come to market in a per-
fectly normal condition. All undue
forcing of the appetite gives rise to
feverish and unwholesome states, and
it seems impossible that meat pre-
pared under such circumstances can
be suitable for food. AS matter OF
fact too much fat is an objection
rather than n gain in poultry. A fowl
kept in good clean range and care
fully fed is at its best when cooped up
for three or four days and given all
of the boiled rice with little sugar
and butter that il can eat in that time
In the course of this period it has no
opportunity to get diseased and alb
normal. 1t would he we'll if sani-
tarians and health enthusiasts would
give n little attention to this way of
fattening, and see if it is entirely con
sistent with the laws of health and
hygiene. New York Ledger.

ing hole with long slim dibber or
planting stick or with small, light
iron bar, and dropping the set, square
end down, into it so that the top end
is left little below the surface. Then
press the soil firmly against the set.
Keep cultivator or wheel hoe going
till the top growth renders further
working unnecessary.
In these days of intensive farming
or gardening we must take two crops
off the same land each season when
ever possible, so horseradish is gen.
orally made second crop, though
planted at nearly the same time as the
first crop. The crops usually selected
rs the first crop are early cabbages,
caulihowers or beets. AS soon as the
first crop is planted the horseradish
sets are put out, rs described above,
midway between the other two rows,
SO as to stand two or two and half
feet one way by sixteen or eighteen
inches the other.
The sets are put in deep enough so
the upper or slanting end will be
about three inches below the surface
of the ground. This will give the first
crop time enough to grow and be
gotten out of the way before the horse
radish gets much above ground.
While cultivating the first crop no
notice is taken of the horseradish un-
derneath. If n stray shoot comes up
it is to be treated as weed, and the
whole surface below the rows kept
clean. When the first crop is taken
off the cultivator may be run once
down the space where it stood and the
horseradish permitted to make its
growth as rapidly as it wishes. 1t
makes its most rapid growth in early
autumn anyway, and with the good
start it has had below the surface it is
soon ready for hoeing; this will
generally be all the cultivation needed.
1t is dug late in the fall, the tops
and small roots trimmed from the
main roots, which are stored in cellars
and root houses till wanted for the
market. The small roots as cut OIL
are saved, trimmed and punched tor
the next seasons planting. They
should be buried in sand till wanted.
The large roots are generally washed
before being sold. The price is usu.
ally SO much per pound. To start
plantation roots may be obtained from
most large dealers in roots and plants.
