GOOD MEAT DARK.

Good meat is always dark when cut
and quickly grows lighter when ex-
posed to the air. The ribs should be
used for either roasting or baking, but
save the tops of the ribs for a stew
Unless you ask for them, although you
pay for the top, the butcher invariably
keeps them to sell for stewing or soup
meat. To let the butcher retain the
top is another way to waste your
money and further add to his profit.
Never baste baking or roasting meat
with water, but If you bake In a gran
ite pan, put some water in to save the
lining from cracking, as the iron and

a river, became very much shocked at see
ing what she supposed the corpse of
young girl who had been drowned. The
Percnlta girl was taken home uncon-
scious. A few days later she was again
attacked in church and again carried
home. From this time on she continued
TO have attacks of hallucinations during

SO strongly did her story work upon
the minds of other residents of the town,
that by the end of the summer there were
tWenty-seven similar cases. This number
increased until 10 persons We're affected.
Public eXorcism was resorted to in the
church. Suspicion finally centered upon a

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
OF an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Dyspepsia After Suffering for
Twenty-Five Years,

Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable ladv
residing at Lynnville. Jasper county, Ia.
was for twenty-five years n sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and her complete restoration, to
health is so remarkable that we present
the facts in the case for the benefit of
our readers, many of whom have doubtless
suffered in the same manner and will there
fore. be interested in learning how all
stomach troubles may be avoided and
cured. Mrs. Skeels says: I used only one
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
I received such great and unexpected ben
eft that wish to express my sincere graf
itude. In fact, it has been six months
since I took the medicine and L have not
had one particle Of distress or difficulty
since. And all this in the face of the fact
that the best doctors 1 consulted told me
my case was incurable, as 1 had suffered
for twenty-five years. want half a dozen
packages to distribute among my friends

MRS. SARAH A. sKEEL.s.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are so successful in curing Indigestion
and stomach trouble, and the reason why
it never disappoints those who need 1t and
use it is because nothing is claimed for il
except what it will actually perform. 1t is
not a cure-all and no such claims are made

of curing Dyspepsia and the various forms
of indigestion.
There is scarcely patent medicine made
but what is claimed to cure Dyspepsia as
well as hundred other troubles When as
matter of fact, remedy

pared especially for that and nothing

HIRAM MoRTHRUP,s ESTATE.

the Executors on Trial Be-
fore Judge Gates.

The familiar suit of the Northrup heirs
against the executors of the Northrup es-
tate, of Kansas City, Kas., came up yes
terday in Judge Gates division of the
circuit court. The late Hiram Northrup
was. IN March. 1895, president of the North
rup Banking Company, which failed. Upon
the death of Mr.. Northrup, one year later
he left an estate valued at many thousands
of dollars. with Z. H. Lovelace, K L.
Browne and ]. S. Chick as executors. They
were stockholders in the NorthruD bank
liable for twice the amount of his stock
in n bank. The heirs claim that the ex-
ecutors have improperly diverted money
belonging to the estate by allowing pre-
tended creditors of the bank to receive
judgments against the estate. The suit is

ceivers be appointed.

so common in the past, should have died

THE lesson 1 would draw from the pre-
ceding lacts is that where these hallucina-
tions become optimistic the thing becomes
harmless. The modern belief in spiritual
ism is essentially an optimistic one. The
people who cali themselves spiritualists
usually lead their own life and do little
harm. Treated pessi mistically these phe-
nomena do great harm. The greatest ex-
ample of this is the Salem witcLcraft of

GREEN FEED.
The Value of Millct as a Forage Crop Not
Fully Understood.

The Value of Millet rs Forage Crop Not
Fully Understood.
If the value of millet, either German
or hungarian, were better understood,
no doubt it would be used to much
greater extent, especially in those
regions where hay is not a regular
crop. No doubt one cause of the lack
of proper appreciation is the fact that
many people who try it once or twice
do not manage it properly. Upon the
time of cutting and manner of curing
largely depends the quality of miliet
hay: If allowed to get little too ripe,
or If not properly cured, its quality
as feed may be materially les
sened. But at the right stage and
nicely cured, it makes hay of the very
best quality, standing next to clover
as feed for the milk cows and sheep.
1t should be cut when the seed be-
gins to form; not later than this, for
as the seed begins to ripen the stalk or
stem tucns to woody fiber, and there is
II loss OF nutriment. There Is certainly
no advantage in delay. So far as can
be done, all necessary preparation
. should be made, so that when the
proper stage has been reached the
work can be pushed along as rapidly as
possible. Millet can be managed in
much the same way as clover, with this
advantage that the weather is usually
much warmer and there is less risk
of showers with millet harvest than
with the first crop OF clover
Generally it can be cut down in the
morning, and late in the evening be
raked up and put in small shocks and
be allowed to stand over night; by the
afternoon of the second day it will be
ready to haul in. Or, il there is no risk
of shower, it can be left in the swath
until the next day after cutting when
it can be raked up ana hauled. 1t
should be well cured, but there is no
advantage in allowing it to become too
dry before hauling in.
Like clover, when it can be done, il
will be best to store millet hay under
shelter, as it is harder to stack so as to
keep in good condition than either tim
othy or red top. journal of Agricul-

feed lots, stacks before threshing time
and the chaF pile at the ntraw stack
afterward. The hen houses are built
with only two compartments-one for
the fowls to roost in and another
for the nests. The broods are reared
in outside coops and fed in common
lathed-in pen, with the lath nailed
about two inches apart, large enough
for the chicks to go in and out, but
close enough to keep the hens out.
The principal feed from shell to mar
ket or table is coarsely ground corn,
wet with water. 1T is thrown in in
quantities. The earlies. broods get

Gus and the women-folks are not so
busy with the garden, the milk, house
cleaning, harvesting, the fruit-can-

each other until late in the fall. There
is no pretense at feeding the old fowls.
They wouldn't eat if you tried to feed
them. They arc like small neghbor
boy of mine who was here one day this
summer. We had crushed strawber-
ries frozen in the ice cream and tried
to get walter" to eat some of it.
There were several strangers to him

full. At last he said: Its nice,
know it is, but how can | eat
it when Pm STUFFED fullp' His
papa had been here in the morn
ing and got u gallon of berries and he
was stuffed full" of them and didn't
like ice cream, so his mamma told me
afterward. 1t is just so with the west
ern farm hen. She is stuffed full all
the time without any special feeding,
for she runs with the fattening
cattle, helps herself in the orchards and
fields, gets water whenever she wants
it, and gravel from the creek bed. Most
farms have creeks running through
them somewhere near the feed-lots.
She is fenced out of the garden, the
truck patch and the front yard some
times, but otherwise she comes and
goes ut will. The foclis have two gem

enough to SELL" and again in the

BREAD GROWING ON TREES.
Natives of the Pacific Ocean Islands
Find Nature Kind.


Find Nature Kind.
The inhabitants of the islands of tho
Pacific ocean and of the Indian archipel.
ago actually pick their bread from the
trees in such shape that moments
work with knife prepares the ma
terial for the oven. The wonderful
tree which yields the bread is known
as the bread-fruit tree in common
speech, but in the language Of botan-
list it would be called artocarpug incisa.
The loaf of bread is really a fruit.
oval or nearly round in shape, covered
with a rough rind, which is marked
into small divisions corresponding
with the separate fruitlets, and weigh
ing three to four pounds.
The fruit is first green in color, then
brown, and at last yellow. 1t con-
tains fibrous pulp which has 4
decayed taste if allowed to fully ripen,
but if gathered at an earlier stage, when
fit for use, it is white and mealy, closely
resembling new bread baked from
wheat -four.
The islanders quarter the fruit and re-
move the core, then in a pit dug for the
purpose they place layer of heated
stones covered with layer Of green
leaves and on these layer of the fruit.
In this way they fill the pit nearly full,
and over all place layer of leaves and
dirt. In half or three-quarters of an
hour the bread is nicely Drowned and
ready for food.
In some places they have an immense
pit on the cooperative plan, where all
the natives of locality bring their
bread for baking, and in these large
pits hundreds of loaves or fruit are
baked at one time. Baked in this way,
the fruit will keep for weeks, and the
raw fruit is sometimes piled in a heap
and allowed to ferment, after which it
Is beaten to pulp and kept in this
form for use when the fresh fruit can
not be had The trees bear two and
sometimes three crops year, so that
for at least eight months Of the year
the bread is to be had for the picking.
There are several varieties of trees
which Weld a sort of bread, but the
one named is very much the best, so far
as the quality of the fruit is concerned.
