This Farmer Plows Under Cover.

Last Saturday." said drummer to
reporter of the Louisville Commercial,
II was coming down from Cleveland
over the Big -Four, and, while glancing
'idfy out OF the window, saw a pillow
that was certainly curiosity to me.
Originally 1t had. been a common plow,
but the fertile genius of some farmer
who apparently has little regard for
the advantages Of a'sun bath had been
at work upon It. He had attached an
upright frame to the pillow beam and
had covered the top of this with fancy
colored cloth. The covering extended
far enough back to allow him to walk
under 1t and be completely protected
from the rays Of the SUM-

weight OF Fodder Per Acrc.

A yield Of two tons per acre Of hay Is
considered fair, and probably In good
years more land goes below the yield
than above It. Yet as an acre Of land
Is 1880 feet this yield is about one
pound to every eleven square feet.
Looked at in this way the yield seems
very small. 1t is probably true that in
most meadows there are vacant, spots
not seeded which reduce the yield. Fod-
der corn ought to yield fifteen to twen-
II tons per acre.

The Plum Rot.

OF all fruits the plum Is most likely
to overbear. 1t would do so every year
If the curculio did not thin It. AS it is,
it bears so heavily that it makes great
drain on the vitality of the tree and
also on It's capacity to furnish the min
eral elements required to make the
seeds. All stone fruits have very large
seeds in proportion to their pulp. 1t
Is probably lack Of potash and phos-
pilates that makes plums rot badly in
the seasons when the trees have set a
crop that they are unable to mature.

French Methods of Cooking.

The French cook or housewife can

hand, the American woman cannot
compare with the French woman In
the preparation Of soups meats, fish,
sauces, vegetables, and all the little
economies of the kitchen.

Top-Boardins a stone Wall.

Many Of the pastures in the older
parts Of the country, says the Orange
Judd Farmer, are bounded by stone
walls which are rarely built so as'to
turn sheep, and not always cattle.
Driving stakes beside the wall and
mailing a top board to these does not
bring the board In the right position
over the top of the wall. The cut shows
how this may be done by using strips
Of board for stakes. When these strips
have been fitted at the top, after being
driven into the ground, a bit hole Is
bored close to the ground. through the

To Pickle string Beans.

Choose tender and freshly picked
beans, string them and cut them slant
ingly, quite fine. To twenty-five pounds
Of beans take, two pounds Of common
salt, and after they are cut mix the
salt through them. Let them stand
over night. The next day have little
keg ready-that is, properly washed
and thoroughly dried in the sun. There
will be quite good deal Of brine on
the beans, which must be thrown away.
Pack the beans tight in the keg, and
pound them with your hands. In that
way enough brine will have formed to
cover them. Put clean piece of cloth
over them, small round board on top
Of 1t and weight it down with stones,
so that the brine is over the board. Put
the keg in the cellar and allow 1t to
stand one week. Then take a pail Of
water, wash all the foam and slime that
will have gathered off the top, and wash
the cloth, the board and the stones.
Replace all again. If there should not
be brine enough mix some salt and
water. TO be sure you have
used salt enough, put whole
raw egg in it; if the egg floats
on top it is sign that the liquid Is
sufficiently sailed. The washing pro-
cess must be repeated every week. A
large stone Jar can be used instead Of
keg. 1t will be six weeks until they
are ready to be used. Soak them over
night when you desire to cook them.

MONEY TO BURN.

Recent advices state that Lon
don is glutted with money, and
short loans have been made as low
as one-half or even one-quarter of
one per cent annual interest. It is
sad that the loanable funds in Lon
don amount to $2,OOO,OOO 900, and
Is also known that in New York and
other centerS money is piled up
waiting good investments.
The goldbug papers say that this
money would be loaned and invested
but for the silver scare. And vet
these same authorities declared not
very long ago that the repeal of
the purchasing clause Of the Sher-
man act would at once draw foreign
capital to this country. The New
York Times in its circular letter
to congressman, asking them how
they stood on the question, artfully
suggested that British gold was
simply awaiting the proposed re-
peal and that it would then rush in
this direction seeking investment.
These gold standard prophets
have been below par for the last
two years, but they are glibly ex-
planning why their predictions have
failed to pan out, The people how
ever, see the situation in another
light. 1t seems to them that the
capitalists in the great centers are
boarding their money or loaning it
only Tor short periods because they
want to see the gold dollar reach
the high water mark Of it's purchas-
ing power, They have seen the
gold dollar become two-hundred
cent dollar and they expect to see
it appreciate still more. When it
becomes a three -hundred-cent dol
lar in purchasing power they will
whirl in and purchase from the
moneyless masses all the productive
property in the country which still
remains in their hands. If values
continue to shrink under the gold
standard it will soon be possible for
very few capitalists to own or
control the entire country,
This is the scheme, but the grow
ing strength of the silver movement
stands in its way. The triumph of
bimetallism will emancipate the
masses from their financial serfdom.
