An Honest Old Janitress.

One OF the oldest servants in the en-
ploy of the United States government is
an aged negress, Sophia Holmes, who
serves as ianitress in the Treasury Build
ing. The story of her life is quite TO-
mantle. Her husband. a slave, accom-
panied his master to the war as a body
servant; and. when the master was
killed, the negro seized his rifle, mounted
his horse, and led the column on to VIC
tory. The black mans body was riddled
with bullets; and be died within two
months. leaving Sophia with two chill
dren to support. Prominent men in
Washington secured work for her among
the women who were called Uncle
Sam sscrub brigade, she being assigned
to the Treasury Building. One night,
when sweeping, she found box packed
with bank notes that had been over
looked in locking up the aults at the
end of the days work. She trembled
with excitement, knowing that the con-
tents of the box must be exceedingly
valuable, and did not dare go home to
her children. Evening came on, mid
night passed, and at two o'clock in the
morning the old woman was startled
by hearing Gen. Spinner going to his
Office. He had a dream that some.
thing was wrong at the Treasury. and
and was so restless that he rose and
went down to the building. Sophia
followed him, told her story, and was
kept prisoner until the money was
counted. The box contained s180OOO.
Then she was sent home in Gen. Spin
ner's carriage, and was afterward re-
warded with position for life. When
asked il she was not tempted to take
some Of the notes, she said proudly. "I'd
rather leave my children the legacy of a
white soul than all the gold and bank
notes the treasury ever held. CoRgre

AGRICULTURE.

A few hills which fail to start because
of poor seed, few more which are in

them, few killed by insects or disease,
and away goes 10 per cent of the crop
which is perhaps so per cent of the
profit. To combat all this is certainly
worthy our fullest study.
1t is an uphill business to attempt to
eradicate the weeds from mans own

the birds which fly and the wagons
which travel up and down the roads all

CATTLE.

There are two sides to the question OF
inbreeding. We must not forget that
the Shorthorn, Hereford and PolIed
breeds were established by this method
They were inbred until the type was
fixed to the extent that it would repro
duce itself, and then out crosses were
used to give strength and constitutional
vigor.
The profit in feeding beef cattle is in
almost opposite ratio to the time they
are kept. Stock which natures early
takes on flesh readily, while there is no
profit at all in today pursuing the
methods of our fathers.
The improved breeds of cattle, for
beef or butter, will always profitably
market the raw products of the farm.
The market reports are evidence
enough, and we do not see how farmer,
who is conversant with these, can go
on raising cattle to sell at the bottom
prices when he might be growing the
best.
Some farmers will get better prices
for the same grade of cattle than can be
obtained by other men; this is simply
because they have reputation for rails
ing the best. This is actually princi.
pie of profit. and it never pays to have
anything of inferior grade upon the
farm.
A pure bred bull of high record
dairy family will soon stamp it's quality
on your whole herd. and in few years
the merits of your cows will become so
we'll known buyers will not be stag
gered by any prices you may ask. With
beef cattle this is true. only in less de-
gree.
To make feeding profitable we must
arrange to get growth and flesh at the
same time. Food given before an ami
NAL natures is much more efficient for
the production of flesh than that given
after mature growth is completed.

DAIRY.

The butter maker who puts her pro.
duct on the market in such condition
as not to appear as good as it is does
herself an injustice.
There is no point in dairy practice
which will conduce more toward profit
than the growing of good crops. and
feeding the same out under cover during
the winter.
No better prices are obtained for the
products of the farm than when they
are fed to good dairy cattle; they are
made to go farthest, and the manure is
available for return to the fields which
gave the crops.
Food from our own fields which is
turned into butter or milk is supplied
at the cost of production, and we should
have no trouble in feeding SO as to pro-
duce good profit.
The buying of grain for the dairy 10
expensive business. yet it often pays;
but the profit from feeding grain which
is home grown is much better, il it is
produced with due economy.
The business of the dairyman does
not begin and end with the care of the
cows, but reaches into every detail of
farm management. A dairy farm should
become one which is unusually produce
tive.
The wise dairyman plans TO raise bic
own cows. The very best are hard to
find in the market, and the price is
often prohibitive. On the other hand,
he can afford all reasonable expense in
raising his own.
A good bull, good feed and good care
are items of expense in raising a dairy
herd. but when these items are dstrib
uted among mum Der the cost upon
any one animal is not very great. 1t
really costs more to rear a poor lot.

Some SavOry Sandwiches.

If ones sandwiches are to be perfect
says a contributor to Good Housekeep-

loaf of excellent homemade bread, and
a roll of sweet favored, lightly sailed
butter. These at hand there is great
variety of filings, from which one may
choose the most tempting. or those most
convenient to the season or occas ion.
All sandwiches should be made as
shortly as possible before serving, but
il it is necessary that they should stand,
let them be well wrapped in dampened
cloth. OF course. when finished they
may be tied with ribbons or arranged in
any way which fancy dictates. The
following are selected from the source
mentioned:
Cheese and Celery. Whip a gill of
thick, sweet cream, and add enough
sharp, freshly grated cheese to make a

Despite all the cry against them,
American hogs are the best fed and the
healthiest meat hogs in the world. Our
abundant cheap grain food, clean water
and outdoor fresh air must produce
healthier pork than the foul pens of
thickly settled European countries. We
do not feed the sour. filthy slops that
they do in France and Germany.
When new pigs are received they
should be kept isolated for at least 80
days, and thoroughly disinfected before
turning them out with other hogs
They are likely to bring the same
trouble as does the bringing in of Texas
cattle to our herds.
Foul air furnishes a congenial home
for disease germs, and the air in pens
must be made clean as we'll as the pens
themselves. Filthy pig pens are hot
beds to all stray germs, stimulating and
feeding them to vigorous growth.
Frequently feed the weaving pigs
with small quantities of food, and in
cool weather have it milk warm, at
least. They return to their beds salts
fed and warm. and the digestive organs
go to work at once.
Hot weather multiples microbes by
the millions minute. Hog pens get
filthy, however careful we may be, and
breed disease, and they become lousy
just as hen houses do. Out in the grass
or clover or woods pasture is the best
and healthiest place until matured for
fattening.
The sugar beet. after the sugar is ex.
tracted, is about like milk for hog feed
after the cream is drawn off, and is rich
in material for bone, fat and muscle.
The increase of this crop is destined to
be great benefit to stock feeders, and
will save millions to this country for

TacOma's Primitive Mint.

OF Uncle Sam. the silver of Idaho or the
gold of California to make the pieces
from Tacoma's mint pass current among
the Indians and the few hardy pioneers
that were blazing the path of civiliza

OF Commencement Bay.

ion for it, out of scraps of iron and
brass. pieces of money. or rather, tokens.
which could be used as a circulating
medium. The pieces consisted of forty-
cent and forty five cent iron tokens and
orass 81 pieces. The forty cent pieces
were about an inch in diameter and the
forty .five-cent pieces we're about the
SIZE OF the present silver half-dollar.
The 81 pieces were oval in shape, about
an inch and quarter long, an inch
wide and sixteenth of an inch in
thickness. These piece we're STAMPED

and readily passed current over all the
country tributary to the mill. Nearly
all this old mill" coin has passed
away; but a few days ago William Han.
son of the Tacoma Mill Company pre-
scented set of these queer coins to the
Ferry museum. In his letter to the
museum, he ead
"Ihe honesty Of the people and the
absence of any blacksmith shop save
that of the company, made the use of
this money possible"
Oregon has long boosted that the
Beaver coin, minted at Oregon Citv
in the early fitties was the only money
minted in the Northwest in the DAYS of
the pioneer; but here in Tacoma, long
years after Oregon's Beaver" mint had
become an historical incident was a
primitive mint that supplied the coin
to furnish the pioneers and Indians
with all the necessities for their rough
lives. The coins, which are still pre.
served, are roughly made, just such as
any blacksmith with ordinary tools
might make, and, as a matter of fact.
during the early years of the mill com.
pany's existence they formed practically
the local circulating medium of ex-
change. When the Indians who were
employed in the mill were paid for their
labor. this coin sufficed as all the trad.
ing they did was with the little store in
connection with the mill. The iron and
brass pieces were, of course, passed
among the Indians in trading with each
other and as anything in the way of
supplies was purchased by them at the
mill store. the pieces were fully as good
to them as if they had borne the stamp

POULTR

The result from feeding green bones
has caused revolution in the economy
of egg production in winter. They are
rich in albumen. phosphate of lime and
phosphoric acid, all of which go to make
eggs and egg shells.
Put a measure of oat meal in a stone
jar and pour over it water which is at
full boiling stage; cover it and let it
stand over night. In the morning it
will be found as thoroughly cooked as
any pudding could be, and it will be
delicious breakfast for the biddies and
chicks.
No farm, county or State is producing
poultry to its full extent, and there is
no good reason why we may not make
the supply equal to the demand and
keep our money at home.
Do not neglect the hens in any par.
ticular if you expect to get profit from
them. Even the egg-laying habit is cul
tivated by intelligent treatment. Be
sure to have some succulent food on
hand In the winter.
Were eggs sold by weight, as perhaps
they should be. the Black Spanish fowl
may become favorite. We know Of
none which lays larger egg, nor airy
which will lay more in year.
All who raise fowls for eggs are mf k.
ing a good profit on stock and feed. il
there is good management. A good hen
will lay II dozen eggs year, worth. at
shilling dozen, $3.50. Deduct so
cents for feed and there is net profit
of 81 head.
Two or three times week let the
poultry have meat scraps. One cent a
pound is not too much to pay for green
bone, as lot of meat clings to the bone.
Keep grit, cracked oyster shells and
green food before them all the time.

Do not hesitate about the stallion fee,

1t is poor care, and not hard work,
which usually wears out our horses.
Race horses are good when much past
the time of life at which our farm horses
are worn out. The whole secret is in
the care he receives.
1t is said that English railways. where
horses are largely used for switching,
employ more horses now than the traffic
OF the same cities required before steam
was used.
The muscular force the horse can ex-
ert in draft is governed by the weight Of
the body; hence the necessity of weight
in draft horses. The demand for
heavier horses is increasing from year
to year to haul the heavier wagons and
trucks with larger loads.
You can raise just as good fall colts as
spring colts, and they will be out of the
way in the busy season of the year.
just now is the time to arrange for

IT would be difficult to find a more
disappointed and disgruntled gang than
those republicans who hoped for some
sort of appointment up to the hour of
Mr.. Mckinley's departure on an ex-
tended vacation. They had expected
that large number of appointments
would be made as soon as congress was
out of the way, but only few were
made and some of them were those
whose nominations had failed to be
acted upon by the senate. He added
TO their disgruntlement by amending
the civil service rules so that no Office
holder in the classified service can lie
removed except for cause and upon
written charges, and then only after
failure to make a satisfactory defense.
He pleased some of the republican con-
gressnen by excepting from the civil
service rules some of the confidential
employees in each of the internal
revenue and customs districts, but
offended others by extending those
rules to the smaller custom houses that
were left cut by Mr.. Cleveland.
