dollar purchase in Mexico-~how much
will the gold dollar purchase in the
United States? 1t is not a question of
what discount our bankers put upon
Mexican silver, or what premium the
Mexican bankers pay on American
gold The question is whether you
can take Mexican dollar in the City
OF Mexico and get as good dinner, or
as good shirt, as you can get in New
York with gold dollar. We say you
can, and we speak on the authority OF
absolute knowledge. We are not argu-
ing Tor free silver coinage for the
United States. We are simply
endeavoring to divest the con-
troversy of the folly and stu
pidity with which it has heen
saturated by single standard editors
and orators, who don't know what they
are talking about. And the Chatta-
nooga Times replies to our proposition
by defying us to print the scale of
wages for labor in Mexico and the
rates of exchange established by New
York bankers Our esteemed contem-
porary is too temperate. Why did it
not ask us whether chimera, rumi-
mating in vacuum, will devour second
intentions, and then, bouncing upon
our confusion, cry: 'Ha! now villain I
have thee on the hipr That would
have been quite as sensible and quite
as much to the point as the screeches
it did utter.
'But we see that we must leave the
parrots and the cuckoos and the rest

Soils are either fertile or barren (in-
fertiIe). The fertile soil may be best
described by negative properties, or the
absence of any of those elements which
go to make a barren soil. The more
closely soil approaches happy mix
ture of the four elements, sand, clay,
lime and vegetable matter, the more
nearly will it approach perfect soil,
both physically and chemically. The
nearer it approaches to the composition
of one single element to the exclusion
of others, the nearer will it approach to
barrenness. or infertility. 1t would be
useless to describe the thousand and
one grades of composition which lie be-
tween these extremes. and equally use
less to t.y to classify them.-Farmers'

They Are Very Appetizing and Easily
Made at Home.
Dainty little cream cheeses are easily
made at home. Mix pint of fresh
cream and with three cups of fresh
milk add scant Tablespoonful of
LIQUID rennet- Whip the mixture
thoroughly for three minutes, then let
it stand for three hours, or until it is
thoroughly clotted and firm Turn it
out on a cloth spread over sieve, to
drain off the greater part of the whey.
After this tie it up in the cloth and
hang it III some cool place to drip like
pot cheese or cottage cheese. When it
has drained in this way for ~ hours
line little cups holding about a gill each
with sheer buttered muslin. If the cups
arc perforated it is SO much the better.
Season the cheese curds with salt, rs
you would cottage cheese. and fill the
lined cups. Put a slight ight on each
one, and in an hour they will be ready
to serve.
For another cheese take equal quaint
ties of milk and cream, and for every
three pints of the mixture. stir in four
drops only of liquid rennet. Beat the
whole together until it is very frothy,
and then set it away to stand for IL
hours. Drain it and tie it in cloth to
drip as before for ~ hours. then press
it in cloth into a perforated mold large
enough to hold it. After two hours take
it out and rub it with salt top and bot
tom, and lay it on a clean board in a
cool, well-aired place, turning it and
sprinkling it with salt every 24 hours.
at the end of two or three DAYS the
cheese will be ready for use.-N. Y.
