Sometimes 'green' housekeeper
buys tough hen unawares, and then
she tears her hair because it is not fit
to eat when baked. Dress fowl and
put in the refrigerator to cool. Put
it to boil in hot water as soon as the
fire is made, and keep it boiling for
three hours. If in hard water put
pinch of soda as large as butter bean
in the water. Do not salt. Two
hours before dinner lift from the
water; dress and stuff as though it
had not been cooked at all; lard it
with nice sweet bacon or pork fat,
bake in medium oven, basting often
The hen will be tender as spring
chicken. The water in which it was
boiled will make delicious soup, with
bits of CHECKED shredded in it, for the
second day, and makes delicious
stock for hashed chicken on toast.

ABSOLUTELY F1ENDLSH..

From the Presbyterian Banner of
December 80, 1896, published in Pitts
burg, Pa, we clip the following given
his the words of an officer of the
Liquor League of Ohio at meeting in
which the interests of the saloon
Business were being disguised:
cit will appear from these facts,
|gentlemen, that the success of our
business is dependent largely upon
NJ he creation of appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor, like others,
will die, and if there is no new ap-
BETTE created, our counters will be
empty, as will be our Golfers. Our
children will go hungry, or we must
change our business to that of some
|cther more remunerative.
ssTbe open field for the creation of
This appetite is among the boys. After
men have grown and their habits are
Horned, they rarely ever change in
This regard. 1t will be needful, there
lore, that missionary work be done
among the boys, and make the sug-
gestion, gentlemen, that nickels ex-
Bonded in treats to the boys now,
will return in dollars to your tills af-
ter the appetite has been formed
|Above all things, create appetite!"
Such a statement seems absolutely
|fendish; and yet, whether spoken or
Eunspoken, the fact remains that the
traffic exists only. by recruits from
hmong the boys. "Wanted, humid
red thousand boys" must be the con-
stant motto of this Infamous business,
that a few may grow rich and live in
luxury while their patrons go down
to the lowest depths of degradation
and poverty.
Such frank statement ought to
arouse parents to take the proper
steps to protect their children from
Moloch, beside whom the ancient
1ninotaur of Crete, who fed on young
men and maioens from Athens was
patron saint.

From forty five to sixty-five de-
grees is the best temperature for
growing plants in the house. They
will make up for it by a strong and
vigorous growth in the summer.
Tropical plants have rest when the
dry season comes, and it is unnatural
to keep those plants forced and grow
ing continuously all the year around.
1t is the same as if you were to take
up an apple tree and keep it in leaf
all the year. They should have sea-
son of rest.

Because it is SO easily procured, thou

generally afford prompt relief. A

lengthwise and dipped in hot water
and wrung out, and then applied

Scrub horses are just the same as

Feed your horses clean food; if the
oats are dusty, clean them, and don't
feed hay which is full of dust or dirt.
Don't train a colt in weak har
ness. Have everything strong and

Do not allow the food to become
sour. Sour food is an abominatiion

him salt frequently.
Teach the colt one thing at time.
When he has learned something don't
let him forget it. Make him go over
it again and again. In days following
repeat it.

Some farmers find it difficult to
provide hens with sand. Make a
mortar from coarse sand or grave
and put into barrels. In the winter
put one of these in the hen house,
and cut out some of the slaves. The
hens will soon be busy. 1t will keep
their bills short and they will not be
so apt to pick eggs open and eat
them.

OUR FARMERS.
HOW TO APPLY MANURE.

| Elias Long learned lesson in the
application of manure when a boy in
his fathers nursery. He tells the
story, as follows: We purchased
from a tannery large pile compost,
hair, lime, ashes and other refuse,
with enough bark in layers to make
all pile up we'll, In the winter we
drew this on the land devoted to nur-
sery and other crops, usually blowing
it under in the spring. Sometimes on
fall plowed land we would incorpor-
ate the mixture with the soil, by the
use of the cultivator or share harrow,
in the spring.
One of the things which wildly i'm
pressed me as we dug trees and
plants from soil thus MANFRED was
the way in which rootlets would lay
hold of congenial bits of plant food.
The tufts and felted knots of hair
would be the attraction to mass of
small roots. A lesson to be drawn
from this is that the blowing in of
manure as method of applying it
should not yield to surface applica-
tons in any marked degree. The
avidity with which roots seek out
and lay hold of particles OF manure
show to me that there can be no
mistake in putting the plant food
right where it will be needed. With
the surface and application of man
ure in the fall and winter there is Of
ten great loss of fertility through es-
cape by teaching and surface drain
age during thaws in the winter. If it
be drawn to the plat and be kept in
piles until just before spring blowing
or culivating, such loss is not appre-
cable.
The question of the same compare
tive merits of surface manuring and
the blowing in of manure may de-
pend somewhat on the crop also. 1t
is plain in the case of shallow rooted
crops, like lettuce, radishes, onions,
strawberries, etc., that the manure is
wanted at the same level as with
parsnips, caulifower or other deeper
rooters. Then, again, surface man
uring may, as in the case of strawber-
ries, serve an excellent purpose as a
mulch in keeping the soil cool and in
preserving moisture.
Another thing, all crops do not use
the same amount of manure. 1t is a
poor plan, for instance, to be lavish
in the use of manure on potatoes and
then slight it on onions and celery.
Among crops that do better for high
feeding I would place strawberries,
ra dishes, cabbage, caulifower, Gu
cumbers and squashes. Of such, the
extent of the crop is almost measur-
cred by the amount of manure, and
20 to 40 tons per acre each year is
none too much. The bush small
fruits need less manure than do staw-
berries, while vegetables, potatoes,
peas, parsnips, carrots, beans, toma-
toes and melons get along very we'll
with onehalf the manure called for
by the others named.

MEETING OF SCHOOL BOARD.

The city school board held the usual
meeting on Monday evening. when all
the directors were present. About
twenty-five bills were ordered paid,
while some bills were referred TO the
appropriation committee, to be paid if
found correct. The application of Miss
Frances Mcdowell, of Elmira, for a
position as a teacher of French, Ger
man and English, was placed on file.
A request was presented by Mr.. Alex
ander from Prof. c. NJ. Lesher for the
use of room in the central building
to teach stenography, and, Cn motion
of Mr.. Coogan, the request was grant
ed. Twenty-Five residents of the Bel
mont district sent q petition asking
the use Of a room in the Belmont school
building for ]. l.. .Roache to use for
the purpose of a night school. AS the
law requires that the room shall be
used only by teachers employed by the
city, the petition could not be granted,
but petition for a night school under
the direction of the school board could
be arranged, and no doubt will be
started. Mr.. Alexander reported a
message from Prof. Hockenberry stat
ing that the Alumni association had
raised $1,000 and had started library.
The question therefore arose as to the
control of the books, whether the
library was now owned by the district
The subject of books of reference
brought up the question. where the
books belonging to the school should
be kept. The entire subject was post
poned for future consideration.
