Some Coco Advice for the RurnIists-A
Budget of knowledge That May

storing vegetables for wIatsr.

Nearly all vegetables may be kept
plump and fresh all winter il properly
stored. Cellars are unhealthy places
unless kept cleaned and we'll ventilated.
A ventilator should extend from the
bottom of the cellar to the top Of the
house. 1t can be closed in very cold
weather. Keep the cellar open as long
as possible in the fall. Do not allow
it TO get too warm during the winter.
just above the freezing point is about
right. Regulate the heat by means Of
thermometer. Ii the temperature
should fall to or below freezing point,
hang large stable lantern from the
ceiling or large lamp may give of
enough heat to keep the temperature
right.
When storing vegetables handle
them carefully. Bruises liberate
moisture, which in time causes decay.
Ii the vegetables have been exposed to
the hot sun, allow them to cool before
storing. Tubers OF all kinds, such as
turnips, beets. carrots, vegetable oys-
tiers, etc, should be packed in barrels
or boxes with some earth mixed
through them and layer on top. Po-
tatOes keep better in small heaps.
There is no better place for onions
than in a garnet or outbuilding where
the temperature is just above the freez-
ing point. Spread clean straw about
foot deep on the floor, and upon
this place the onions eight or ten
inches deep, covering with two feet OF
straw II the temperature of the room
should fall below the freezing point
the straw will keep them from freez-
ing. But two or three light freezings
will not injure onions. Cabbage may
be kept in fine condition until January
by cutting off the stalks and trimming
off the outer leaves, wrapping them in
three or four thicknesses of newspaper
and placing on shelf in the cellar.
For late winter and spring use, it is
| best to store them outside. Bury a
box or barrel in the ground in dry
situation. Trim the heads and wrap
them in newspapers, put them in the
barrel and spread layer OF leaves OF
straw on top and cover with boards sc
it will be water proof. When the
weather becomes colder put on a little
dirt and add to it as the cold increases
Squashes and pumpkins may be KEEP
in any dry airy place until freezing
weather, and then put in the cellar
One OF the best methods of preserving
squashes for winter use is to give then
a coat OF varnish. Many are familiar
with the process Of vanishing eggs t.
preserve them; squashes treated in tn,
same way will keep all winter. Han
die squashes carefully; ii they ar,
bruised or the stems broken they viii
rapidly decay.

Adulterated Cream.

No sooner does an article of food be-
come widely used than certain class
of men begin to devise methods to
falsify and adulterate it. The use of
cream is spreading rapidly in the
cities, and, as consequence, methods
for giving the cream false richness
are in demand. Fortunately, the men
who get up these methods OF adultera-
tion are, almost invariably, profoundly
ignorant OF the possibilities OF chemi-
cal analysis, and the crude compounds
which they put upon the market are
easily distinguished, il enough is used
to make the adulteration profitable,
says Hoard's Dairyman.
The latest method which has come
to our notice, is one for classifying
cream, giving it richness not due to
butter fat.
The product is called "albuminoid"
and is a mixture OF boric acid and gel.
atine. This compound when added ia
cream makes it thicker, and apparent.
ly richer, and also, owing TO the boric
acid, makes it keep longer. Fortu,
nately, both these compounds are easily
detected by the chemist, and the dairy
man who thinks to increase his profits
by the use OF such a mixture, stands {
good chance of mourning q fine thai
will make hole in his profits, ant
the hole will be OF sufficient size t.
make him think twice before running
the risk second time.
The tendency at the present time il
toward pure food product, and al
though such compounds as the above ap
pear on the market with great regular
ity, we notice that in short time the,
disappear.
This will be the fate OF the abov,
compound, and it will soon be driver
out Of use.
1t is true that some other equal,
vile mixture will take its place, onl,
to be also driven out. The lines ar,
being slowly frightened in all direc
tions, and the time is not far distan
when man will be able to buy foot
without the risk of being drugge,
without his knowledge.

AMERICAN RIVER CLAIMS RICH
Miners Returning From the North Tell
OF the Work Beiug Done,

OF the Work Beiug Done.
Port Townsend Wash. The bark
Hayden Brown, from st. Michael, has
arrived, bringing seventy passengers
from the various mining sections of the
Yukon basin. About twenty came
direct from Kotzebue Sound, having
left that section as late as September
9th. All confirm previous reports of
no gold being found on the sound.
4. II. Sullivan of Colfax is among
the returning miners from the Yukon
basin. lie has spent fourteen months
in searching for gold and has visited
nearly every mining camp on the
Yukon. He speaks in the highest
praise OF the prospects of American
river and its tributaries.
On American river eighty-five claims
have been located and are being
worked. On its tributaries 200 more
claims have been worked during the
summer, some Of them being quite
rich. Number yielded 800 per day
to the man, but it was not worked
long owing to high water.
Discovery gulch has made the best
showing in production Of gold, having
been extensively worked and more
iayorably situated. Eagle City is the
Quitting point for American river and
tributaries, and it is rapidly becoming
formidable rival to Dawson. The
United States Government has estab-
lished there military post OF seventy
men and custom house.

THE CANAL FEASIBLE.
Views Of EsEiseers who Have Returned
to new York.


to New York.
New York.-Eight Government en-
Rineers who have been engaged on the
preliminary survey of the Nicaragua
canal have arrived in this city ON the
steamer Altai of the Atlas line. They
remained in Nicaragua to complete the
work which was in progress when Adj
miral Walker and other members of
the commission were recalled to take
part in the war with Spain.
Ebens Wheeler was the chief engi-
neer Of the party. Its other members
were Andrew Onderdonk, Harvey G.
Miller, Louis Hawkins, William ID.
Thomas, Richard b. Post, p. J. Burns
and Horatio ii. Trundle.
The preliminary work was finished
before the party left the field and a
vast amount OF data, the results of
suryeyings, borings and soundings, has
been brought back and will be in
cluded in the official reports, which
will be placed before Congress at its
coming session. The surveys show
that the proposed canal is entirely
feasible and that the cost will be con-
siderably less than the estimates made
by the Ludlow commission or the sum
named by Admiral Walker year ago
as likely to be needed. The reduction
in cost is due to change in the loca-
ton OF the Ochoa dam and to other
notifications OF the old route.
The Ludlow commission estimated
the cost OF the canal at $l33, 900, 900.
Admiral Walker named 1925, 900, 600
as the aggregate cost. The report OF
the engineers will place the estimate at
less than 800, 900, 600.
BY changing the location OF the dam
from Ochoa to point fourteen miles
lower down, the building OF the San
Juan basin and its costly embankment
can be avoided and saving OF &c.,
600, O)0 made.
4 While Mr.. Wheeler and other mem.
bers OF the returning party declined to
be quoted at any length in reference to
the canal work they say their reports
will show that the canal is project
containing no serious difficulty and
that it can be quickly and cheaply
built. 1t is two years now since any
actual work has been done on the canal
by the company OF which Warner
Miller is the head. The concession
obtained by the company from the
Nicaragua Government is said to still
hold good. The attempt to build the
canal by private means has been aban-
doned by Mr.. Miller and his associates
and all rights in the premises have
been offered to the Government.
A syndicate OF Chicago capitalists,
headed by E. i. Cragin, have looked
over the ground and it is now said to
be endeavoring to obtain concession
from Nicaragua. Mr.. Cragin and a
party OF civil engineers and contrac-
tors from Chicago have recently re-
turned from the isthmus and are said
to be interesting members of Congress
in their plans.
The statisticians have placed the vol
ume OF the commerce that is likely to
pass through the canal much higher
than the estimates OF the Government,
and their opinion is that the revenue
to be derived will warrant them in
spending considerably more than 500,
900, 900 in building the canal.

THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION
Aguinaldo Formally Assumes the Title
of President.

OF President.
Washington. Senior Agoncillo, the
Philippine representative who has
come to Washington to ask that the
insurgents be heard by the Peace Com.
missioners at Paris, has made public a
translation OF the Philippine constitu.
tion which Aguinaldo was to have pro-
claimed at Malolos. BY this constitu-
ton Aguinaldo formally renounces the
title of dictator and assumes that OF
President of the Revolutionary Govern
ment of the Philippines. He provides
for four secretaries, Secretary OF State,
Marine and Commerce and Secretary OF
War and Public Works; Secretary OF
Police, Interior, Justice, Police Instruc-
tions and Health, and the Secretary OF
Finance, Agriculture and Industry.
A Congress is provided for, to be com
posed OF representatives OF all the pro-
vinces OF the archipelago.
An important feature of the Consti-
tuition in view of the probability that
Aguinaldo will try to obtain recogni-
tion from European governments is
that part describing the duties of the
Secretary of State. 1t provides
"The office of Secretary OF State
shall be divided into three depart
ments, for diplomacy, for marine and
for commerce. The DEPARTING mt OF
diplomacy will study and transact all
business concerning the direction OF
diplomatic negotiations with foreign
powers. The department OF marine
shall study and transact all business
in reference to the formation and or.
ganization Of navy and the organiza-
tion and equipment of such expedi-
tions as may be desired by the revolu.
tionary government in carrying out its
purposes and designs. The department
of commerce will transact all business
pertaining to trade, both internal and
external, and preliminary work for the
making of commercial treaties with
foreign nations.

pears to have been lucky in preserving
the health Of his sailors, and in that
matter he even exceeded the record OF

tary Long has made public short ex.
tract from the Admiral's last report
treating on his subject, in which, while
dealing with the general climatic con-
ditions of the Philippines, for the in.
formation of the Government he says
OF the sailors and troops;
AS Luzon is the farthest north OF
the large islands, its climate is natur-
ally the most temperate. In this con-
nection it may be mentioned that out
OF force OF over 2s00 men ON the
ships Of my squadron the number OF
men on the sick list at anyone time
has not exceeded forty; nor has there
been any considerable sickness among
our troops on shore, though they were
mach exposed for three weeks in the
trenches during the rainy season. As
Q matter of fact, Manila is lar from
being an unhealthy city, and the eli
mate is as fine as that of any place in
the tropics. .
