SALT MACKEREL.-An authority
makes a plea for the rather maligned
salt mackerel. 1t is indigestible, and
consequently disliked, he asserts, be-
cause its preparation and also the
method of eating are not understood.
The first point to be insisted upon is
its thorough freshening. There is no
danger of getting it too fresh, because
salt can always be added but there
is the necessity of getting rid Of the
traces of the curing process. 1t should
then be broiled, and if it is plunged
into boiling water for an instant, after
it is broiled, this operation will plump
it to an attractive appearance. 1t is
better for being rubbed with a little
olive oil rather than butter before
broiling. Just as it is sent to the
table, lemon juice is sprinkled over it
and parsley is put on the platter. No
liquids should be taken while the fish
is being eaten. 1t is the contrary Gus.
tom, that of slipping coffee, perhaps,
after every mouthful or two, that has
given it the reputation of an indigesti-
Bile food, while in reality it is valuaz
Bile one, and a most useful addition to
the breakfast menu.

The BACON TYPE OF HoG.-Good
Judges say it is difficult to distinguish
between bacon hogs on foot, fed in the
Candadian method or in that of this
country, but that the difference in the
meat after slaughtering is quite dis
tinct 10 any one. The Canadian hog,
fed on ground peas, barley, rye and
shorts, makes leaner bacon, which
sells in England about cents higher
per pound than the corn-fed bacon OF
the United States. The time will
come when reliable feeders of our
country will establish reputation for
their hogs that will give them an ad'
vantage in price nearly, if not quite
as large as that given 10 the Canadian
feeder. Corn feeding will continue
just as certainly as corn producing will
continue, aud whatever corn is raised
it will 20 into hogs but the Other
feeds with which the Canadians obtain
such superior results can also be pro
duced here and made as profitable, in
many localities, as to feeders in that
country. The difference in qualities
of different bacons, it is now generally
conceded, is the result of feeding quite
as much as it is the result of breeding
and there will be an increase in the
number of those who will discriminate
in favor of what is coming to be known
as the "bacon" type, and when they
know that they are getting what they
want, will be willing to pay the diff
ference in price for it.-Texas Stock
and Farm Journal.

SOLD ON HER MER1Ts.-A new
method of buying and selling cows
is proposed by the North Carolina
Experiment station. 1t is based on
the yield of milk and quality of same,
as determined by tests. 1t is proposed
to pay for the cows at the rate of $l2
per gallon of milk given per day that
is rich enough to show 81 per cent. of
butter fat. To this price add or sub.
tract 81 for every one-quarter of l per
cent. of fat above. or below the 81 per
cent. By this rule the cow is bought
entirely on her merits. 1t is believed
to be a conservative plan, and if adopt
ed will certainly raise the standard OF
COWS and increase their milk and but
ter production, for if they cannot be
sold easily for milch cows they will
soon be turned over to the butcher

PUMPKINS AND HOG CHOLERA =

PUMPKINS AND HOG CHOLERA
c. C. Asfahl, of Doran, TO-, livestock
feeder, makes report concerning hog
cholera and pumpkin feeding to hogs
to the Omaha, Neb., Stockman as fol.
lows: "Hog cholera has again got in
it's destructive work in this community.
Thousands of dollars worth of hogs
have been lost within q few miles.
The disease has been very bad within
half mile of my place, but my hogs
have, as usual, entirely escaped. l

and 1 attribute my success mostly to
the large amount of pumpkins which

SETTING OUT TREES IN SPRING.

When trees are to be set out in the
spring it is quite an item to get the
work done as early as possible. When
it can be done, everything should be
made ready so that at the first favora-
BILE opportunity the planting may be
done. Trees never should be set out
when the ground is frozen or too wet
to readily work into good condition.
While trees may grow when proper
ly cared for it set out late in the
spring, trees SET out earlier will nearly
always do better. In many cases the
ground may be plowed during the
winter and, if needed, good dressing
of manure given. The orchard can
be carefully, planned out and stake
set where each tree is to be planted
While it is always advisable to label
each tree it is also good plan to
make plan of the orchard on paper,
80 that in case the label on the tree
gets lost the variety can readily be
identified. Having this work done in
advance will help materially in get,
ting the planting done in good season.
In a we'll drained or porous soil in
many cases the holes for the trees may
be dug, thus saving still more time,
but in stiff clay or hardpan soil this
may not always be advisable, as the
holes may hold water and delay rather
than help in early planting.
In planting the orchard give the
trees plenty of room. Better have the
trees a little too far apart than to have
them crowded. Bunch varieties; that
is, plant all of one variety close TO-
gether rather than scatter early, me-
dunn and late varieties promiscuously
through the orchard. For family
orchard large number of varieties is
needed in order to secure supply all
through the year and for all purposes
In a commercial orchard winter ap'
Piles pay best, and four or five kinds
will be sufficient. Trees, like seed
cost, and so far as can be the planting
should be done under the most favora'
BILE conditions for securing a good
growth.-N. J. Shepherd in Farmers
Voice.

SABBATH-KEEPING In SCOTLAND
Not many years ago Free Kirk wor'
thy, now at rest, was engaged in bis
favorite pastime of fishing on we'll
known salmon river in the north OF
Scotland, when he got into CONVEX
sation with a farmer, and asked him
how the recently appointed Free Kirk
minister was getting on in his parish.
The farmer, after considerable hesita-
ton, admitted that the reverend gen.
tleman was not quite so great favor.
ite as he might have been, because it
had been discovered that he was in
the habit of shaving on Sunday morn
ing"
"But," expostulated the piscator,
"you might as well say that your min
lister was not to wash his face on
Sunday"
"Wash my face on the Sabbath ~
said the farmer; ~ haven't washed
my face on the Sabbath for these five'
and-twenty years."

LITTLE GIRL SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
A street car horse on the Ninth ave-
nue. line baked at Forty sixth street
last night, says Our Dumb Animals.
A crowd collected, and the passengers
got out of the car. The driver brought
bis whip down across the horses back
without effect. A stout man who had
just stepped off the car said: "Don't
do that, I'll get him started" He
rubbed the horses nose, patted him on
the neck. and talked persuasively, all
without result. By this time four
cars were stalled. Somebody sugges-
ted oates, another kerosene, a third a
wagon. Another held a burning news
paper under the horse. Still it didn't
move.
At last a girl of about 13 pushed her
way through the crowd and said :
"Say, mister, if you'll ring the bell
twice the horse will think somebody
has just got off, and he'll go ahead"
The conductor pulled the bell and
the passengers had to run to catch the
car.

COMMENCE TODAY AND KEEP AT. IT..

DETwEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
B MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state. 1t is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILI.E ENQUIRER should also be
one OF the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire Il as a regu-
Lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford It, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven.
ience of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecially desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services of large number Of intel.
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of q single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker
but sends 1t direct to this office. In clubs,
however, the price ~ only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected to pay us. Now to our
propositions:

q premium until the subscription price has
been paid nor will any premium be delivered
for all names returned by the clubmaker.
Persons who commence making clubs will
not be permitted to transfer their club TO an
other cfubmakers list after the names have
been entered on our books:

should all be at the same postofflce. Names
may be taken at any number Of places.
Clubmakers are requested to send In names
a as ragidly as they secure them after October
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at

postoffice, county and state.
All subscriptions will be discontinued at the
expiration Of the time paid tor.

ker, who will be credited with each name

BANKING INTELL1GENcE.--H want
ed position in an Austin bank. The
president was satisfied with bis ere.
dentials, but before engaging him put
him through q civil service examina-
ton.
"Suppose now, a man was to come
in here to deposit 500 in bills, how
would you count them ?"
"I'd wet my finger and lift up each
bill until I got to the last one."
"Why would you not lift up the last
one?"
because there might possibly be
one more bill under it, and if the de-
positor was to see it he would want it
back, but if the Goth bill is not lifted
up and there should be another bill 10

dent. "You have been in the bust
