The simple Process by Which Much Pre-
cious Metal is Annually Gained.
1t Is not generally known, even in
California, that millions of dollars are
annually taken from rude heaps of base
looking quartz by the flowing of water
over huge piles of broken rocks that con-
tain the precious metal. The process
of rohbing the eartl, of it's gold has now
been reduced to such Il fine point that tho

other methods are not SO useful.
The water used by the miners in bring
ing gold from piles Of minera l-hearing
quartz is charged with n simple chemi-
cal. which has the potency to dissolve
gold and hold it in solution. The sparkling
liquid. which flows over hundreds of tons

SYRUP FROM CORN C0BS:

An Iowa Discovery that will Hurt Sugar
Bush Product.
A correspondent of the Omaha Bee
writes from Cherokee, Ia: LAT differ
ent times during the past six months
articles have appeared in the press COM
menting on the art of manufacturing ma
pie syrup from corn cobs. The fact that
a tirst-class article can be manufactured
has been thoroughly demonstrated by the
recent success of a citizen of this coun-
'ty. who has surprised the natives by
making syrup from cobs that an ex-
pert cannot distinguish from the genuine
article. It has the color and taste of
genuine Vermont maple syrup and is,
so far as can be told by taste and looks,
almost all exact reproduction. The par
ty who is engaged in the new industry
is resident of Marcus, Cherokee cOun>
ty, and expects, in the near future, to
enter into the business on a large scale,
for which purpose stock company is
already being formed.
samples of the syrup are being sent
to all parts of the country for inspec-
ton, and should it give satisfaction, as
it has at home. the new industry will be
a paying one. as it can be made for less
than half the cost of the genuine, and is
an excellent substitutes. People are 60
ing to Marcus every day from the sur
rounding country and towns to investi-
gate the matter; and all go away salts

DEEpDALE KNOLL.

In the glades Of Deepdale,
Thick the wild flowers grow;
Through the glades of Deepdale
Brawling streamlets flow; .,.
Tall oaks wave their mighty boughs.

In the glades of Deepdale
A flr-crowned knoll Is seen;
Up Its sides the primroses
Smile amid their green;
Rowlders show their rugged heads,
Woodbine climbs between.
When the day at Deeplule
Ncars the vesper hour,
a tall. hluck-robed figure glitles
Over moss and flower,
Stands and raises Il pale hand
With geste Of power.
Those who see 1t shrink aside,
Dare not linger nigh,

TO the darkening sky,
And the evil memories
OF the days gone by.
Story tells when Tudor rule

On the knoll would stand.
While around him gathered

While the Host was raised OH high

In the faith their fathers held.

LARGEST RUG EVER MADE,

A Relic of the Council Room of the Fa-
nous American Club.
The famous tiger rug that covered the
floor of the council room of the Ameri-
can club, which tlourishcd in Green
witch, Conn.,, in the days of Tweed, is
now doing service in cafe in New York
city. The rug, which was and Is the
largest in the world. was made by a. T.
Stewart. 1t contains 354 yards, all in
one piece. and was woven on loom
especially built for the purpose.
When the clubs leader fell the urgani-
cation soon went to pieces. and it's eff
fects were disposed of at auction. The
rug was purchased by George J. kraus.
The body of the rug is cream color,
and the pattern red, black and brow n.
At each corner and running down the
center are tigers heads, surrounded by
the clubs name and scrolls. 1t is prac-
tically new, as far as wear is concerned.
for the council room was rarely used,
and only then by privileged few.

his followers gathered is also owned by

Feeding Young Stock.

The question of feeding young cattle
should have serious attention during the
winter months We wish right here to
condemn the practice of feeding so much
corn to growing stock. Only very
small amount of corn should be included
in the daily ration Of calves, especially
at this time when oats and oil meal are
so cheap: Feed literally. Far better to
err on the liberal side in feeding young
stock than to have them stunted and
poor i'll the spring, as half year may
easily be lost for want of a bit of extra
attention during winter. If you have
facilities for it the linseed meal might be
mixed with boiling water and poured
over a heap of chaffed hay, with which
the ground oats had been previously
mixed. If not, mix it with the meal and
give in two feeds daily, taking care to
let them have plenty of water Young
stock are very often injured by being
turned out and allowed to stand starving
about till it suits the herdsman to let
them in. OF course, if there is not water
i'll the barns they must be let out, but in
that case we would provide plenty of
trough room, so that all could get drink
at once, or nearly so, and then bring
them in as soon as satisfied. If all their
food is dry they should have the chance
of water twice daily. Remember there
is a scarcity of stock in the country,
therefore it is sure to be dear next spring
and, whether to sell or keep, is worth
rearing we'll. Also feeding stuffs are
abnormally cheap, and certainly cannot
be put to better purpose.-Prairie Farm

1ncubntors for Early Chickens.

All farmers want to have chickens
come off as early as possible. The early
pullets will begin laying in the fall and
will continue to lay more or less through
the next winter. But early in the sea-

to become broody, Or if she is she will
not sit so dctermincdly as when the
weather is warmer, later in the season.
The incubator comes in handy for these
extra early chicks. If we'll cared for it

will hatch out more chicks in cold wealth

When the Dutch came to New York,

the meadows between Newark and the
rocks of Bergen sustained forest of

swamps and the higher lands near New
ark were rich meadows where cattle
grazed. The grass grew tall and thick
and it early became the custom every
spring to clear the ground for the new
crop by burning over the land. This
custom, by the way, is still kept up along
the sea coast. March 25 is the day usu-
ally devoted to this business.
The fires would creep from the salt
meadow along the edge OF tho cedar
swamps, which then were untouched by
the destructive tides. Although cedarS
will grow in fresh water they are killed
by salt The tides and the fires drove
the forest back little by little. AS the
trees dieQ or were burned, the tenacious
surface roots dinintegrated and the mud
becoming more and more soaked with the
salt, became the better adapted for the
growth of cat-tails and rank meadow
grasses.
This destruction was aided by the
trees and sawed them into shingles and
timbers. When the Revolution broke

ROuD and COntagion.

The disease known as roup is one that
results from the fowls being exposed to
cold, damp drafts at night, and when
once it appears in flock it sometimes
becomes contagious, attacks every MEN,
Der of the flock and great loss results.
Swollen eyes, sore throat, cough or
sneeziDg and general debility are char
acteristic symptoms of the disease and
when it reaches a contagious stage a
very foul odor may be noticed. There
are no sure cures for roup, much depend
ing on the location Of the yards, the
warmth of the poultry house and the
manner of reating the sick birds. A
mixture of one part spirits turpentine
and four parts sweet oil put in sewing
machine oilcan and few drops of the
mixture injected in each nostril each
day, with a few drops down the throat
also, is an excellent remedy but pre-
caution is better than cure, and it would
be we'll to isolate the sick birds from
the others on the first appearance of ILL
ness. During cold but dry weather
fowls keep in better health than during
Il rainy season, hence dampness should
be guarded against more than cold but
fowls should, however, be kept also very
warm.
