Here are some timely hints on the
care of cellars: ''Before any fruit or
vegetables are put in the cellar for
winter use, clean it thoroughly, disin-
feet and whitewash it. Whitewash
makes cellar cleaner and lighter,
and it should be done every spring and
fall. Sulphur is cheap and effective
disinfectant. Close all cracks and
burn a pound OF sulphur by throwing
it upon red hot Goals in an. iron kettle
placed in the middle of the cellar.
Then thoroughly ventilate. A dry
cellar is necessary to keep vegetables
in good condition, and the dryer the
cellar the less liable it is to, freeze.
A peck of lime placed in the cellar and
renewed every two weeks will absorb a

dust prevents the whole mas from
blazing. Hickory also is good, but
never pine, as this kind of smoke will
give your meat a disagreeable taste.
IT you viii keep this up night and day
for the small hams and sides for ten

your meat will have a nice, yellow

there are several remedies. The meat

Molasses as Stock Feed.

Now that the extraordinary cheap
ness OF sugar and molasses is attract
ing considerable attention in this
county for cattle feeding, the follow
ing account of the use of certain cheap
materials in Germany for a similar pur-
pose will prove interesting. From a
description given in the Deutsche Zuc-
ker Industrie, it appears from recent
experiments that very large use is
likely to be made of what is known as
the lupine food. 1t is made from a
plant which is extensively cultivated
in some parts of the continent, and
resembles the vegetable known in
this country as pulse, the seeds
of which have a leguminous taste.
The lupine seed in its natural
state has very bitter flavor,
which, however is capable of extrac-
ton, and the residue is then of consid-
cradle value as the foundation of a
cheap food, to which is added certain
quantity of molasses. The exact pro-
portions recommended are one part of
molasses, two parts of dried lupine,
from which the bitterness has been re-
moved. The advantages of such food
as compared with other descriptions of
food to which molasses is usually add
ed, are as follows: Firstly, the mix
ture is richer in protein Tor gelatinous
substance obtained from vegetable
casein or legumin) than the goods
hitherto produced; secondly, lupines
are cheaper than palm-kernel cakes,
suntiower cakes, etc. Although
none of these are manufac-
tured in England, both lu-
pines and supfowers are ex-
tensively grown on the continent,
and the oil which is expressed from
their seeds is largely made use of, the
pulp being afterward pressed and mixed
with molasses, forming hard cake.
The average value of lupines for the
last five years has been 4.50 marks per
cwt., equivalent in English money to
As. Cd. per cwt., while beet molasses
can be bought on the continent for 1.20
marks per cwt., or, in our money, at
rather under Is. 3D.. per cwt. To these
figures, however, must be added the
cost of extracting the bitterness or the
oil of the lupine, and the subsequent
drying of the residue, both of which
operations would entail some loss of
weight.-Texas Farm and Ranch.

TO CURE MEAT.

Most Farmers Think They Know How, But
Here's Good Method.
Take to one hundred ponds of meat
seven pounds of salt, two ounces of
saltpctre, well mixed. Hams and sides
are rubbed well on both sides. then
placed in box after the bottom has
been covered with the above mixture
one inch deep. Now pack the meat as
close as possible, and fill all vacant
places with salt until the whole box
forms one entire mass of meat and
salt. BE careful and don't place bone
against bone. The salt will soon melt,
and with the dampness of the meat
will form juice that will soak into
the meat. Small hogs remain four
teen days, heavy ones four weeks in
this state, after which time you can
smoke the meat. Before you take the
meat to the smokehouse to smoke, you
have to dry the meat thoroughly.
NV in regard to a smokehouse, as a
gosi smokehouse is a rarity. A good
smokehouse must be dry, but airy, and
when closed free from frost. Such a
house is cool in summef. If you cover
the air-holes with wire mesh to keep
out insects, the meat can remain in
this house the whole summer, but you
have to give the meata smoke now and
then. The smokehouse must be ar
ranged SO that the smoke reaches the
meat dry and cold. A real good smoke
house ought to be two stories. In the
lower story you make the smoke,
which, through an opening in the upper
floor, passes to the upper story, wheie
the meat hangs; in the roof you have
several small openings, through which
the smoke escapes. Meat ought to be
smoked, not blackened. You don't
want a thick, impenetrating, suffocat-
ing smoke, mixed with plenty of fresh
air, to give your meat nice, yellow
brown appearance. Every two or
three days, when the air is cool and
dry, open the door to let in the air SO
it will dry the meat.
The fire in the smokehouse must be
built so that no blaze will start from
the material that the smoke is to be
made from. In one corner of the
smoke house build furnace out of
brick, eight inches deep, ten inches
wide and about fourteen inches high.
On the bottom lay two rows of corn
cobs, then layer of maple or oak
sawdust, then thin layer of slabs of
either wood, then sawdust, ETC., until
the whole furnace is filed; now lay
live Goals to the corncobs. Such pile

BRITISH CHARIOTEERS.
Methods Employed in Ancient Warfare
With tho Romans.

Methods Employed In Ancient Warfare
With tho Romans.
The pluck and dash of British char
ioteers greatly impressed the Roman
general They began by driving at
full speed along the enemy's line, hurl-
ing their weapons, and frequently
throwing the ranks into disorder by
the fear which their horses and the
rattle of their wheels inspired; and
when they had edged their way in
among the troops of cavalry, they
leaped down from the chariots and
fought on foot. The drivers meanwhile
fell back a little to the rear, and so
posted their chariots that, if the war
riors We're hard pressed by superior
numbers of the enemy, they might
have ready retreat to their own lines.
So in battle they combined the mo-
bility of cavalry with the stability OF
infantry, and became SO expert by
daily practice and exercise that when
on declivity or steep incline it was
their habit to pull up their horses at
full gallop, bring them to standstill,
turn them in an instant. run out along
the pole, stand on the yoke, and then
get back with all speed into the char
lot Some of the British cars have
scythes attached to the axletrces. and
were called by the natives covini-that
is tho Celtic word cowain, which means
a cart or wagon. The Romans may
have previously seen similar chariots
used in the Gallo armies, but the wild
antics of the painted Britons must
have disconnected them not little.
Even Roman troops were sometimes
demoralized by the uncanny-looking
beings who opposed them. Thus we
read, a century later, of an attack made
upon the Island of Anglesea by the
Romans. They found drawn up along
the shore dense array of armed men,
through whose ranks ran women, re-
sembling furies, clad in funeral garb,
with disheveled hair, and torches in
their hands, while Druids stood around
and poured forth dreadful imprecations,
with hands appraised to heaven; and it
was only with difficulty that the gen.
eral could induce his men to charge

HERE AND THERE.

"A hen that will not produce double

1t is estimated by competent au-
thority that more than GOO, 900, 600 acres
of arid lands in this country can be ir-
rigated and made to far exceed the
best unirrigated lands in productive
capacity.
1t requires more food to keep up
egg production than is necessary to
support flock of hens in unproductive
idleness- The best hens in the world

1t is estimated that every in
dividual in the land eats fifty pounds
of pork annually; in any event that
much is raised. This, at least, shows

sheep, for every farm has a place for
sheep which nothing else can fill. The
flock may be small one. That de-

should be amply sufficient to supply the

-On the farm it is best to keep but
one breed of chickens for they can
then be allowed full personal liberty
to range at will, and the breed can be
kept unmixed. Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes, or any of the Leghorns
are suitable for this purpose, with the
exception that the latter, if pure
blood, will not sit worth cent.
Whatever may be said of the pres
emit prospects for sheepas a commercial
venture, there is one aspect of sheep
husbandry in relation to which no
farmer can ever make mistake, says
the Homestead, and that is the keep
ing of sufficient number of the right
kind of sheep to provide anaabundance

FL GOVERNORS BOOM
1T WILL BE FORMALLY LAUNCHED
AT PHILADELPHIA THIS MONTH.
The Cuban Question Expected to
Grease the Ways for the Pres
idential Timber.

A letter was received Yesterday at the
Governors office asking that he reach Phil
adelphia Nov. % when he goes there for the
purpose of delivering his Cuban address,
which will be the evening Of Nov. Il. Ar
engagements are being made for a banquet
the evening before the address is delivered.
1t is announced in the letter that Chair
man Harrity. of the Democratic national
committee, Governor Hastings. Mayor
Warrick, Ex-Governor Pattison and many
leading editors will be present. as we'll as
many of the leading Democrats Of the coun-
try. It is not known just what is the i'm
port of this gathering, but it is limited that
the banquet is for the purpose of formally
launching the Matthews boom on the sea
OF a presidential campaign.
The Governors stand on the Cuban ques-
ton. favoring the recognition of the in
surgents as belligerents. has made him
many friends in Philadelphia, where the
feeling of friendship toward the Cubans is
probably greater than in any other city.
This. of itself. is sufficient to call for a
most hearty reception in the Quaker city,
but the fact OF a banquet which will be
attended by many of the leading lights or
Democracy, has led to some other conclu-
sions. The Governors speech is a bid to
the element Of the people who desire to
see this country rush to the aid of any
and all people who have a grievance
against a monarchy, and it is not doubted
that he expects 1t TO send his boom forward
with great force in the Atlantic coast and
Southern States.

BASS FISHING Is GOOD.
Six Fish, Weighing Over "a Pounds,
Caught at Hroad Ripple.

Fishermen are reporting the finest of luck
this season in White river near the city.
Yesterday w. ID. Griffin exhibited at the
Journal Office. in view of the general re-
Election usually cast upon fish stories. q
catch made by him yesterday morning at
Broad Ripple. 1t included six big black
bass. the largest Of which weighed five
pounds and four ounces. The total weight
of the six fishes was twenty-four pounds
and four ounces. One of the bass was
caught just off the apron of the dam and
the others opposite the park, minnows OBJ
tanned Of "Uncle Billy" Bacon doing the
good work. One of the bass had its fms
and tail artistically trimmed, and it is the
opinion of Griffin that some one had caught
it, and after trimming its fms and tail.
put it back in the stream again. On &C
count of the low stage of the river. the bass
are coming down stream for deeper water.
and as they do not stop to feed, they gladly
welcome a choice bite like a minnow in
passing. Henry Morgan made a catch al
most equally as good at the Ripple a few
days ago. The catch was opposite the
graveyard.
