Origin of the Cocktail.

1t is asserted that a certain Col. Car
ter, not of Gainesville. but Of Culpep-
per Court House, Va, belongs the hon
or of inventing the cocktail, and this is
how 1T all happened: Near Culpepper
Court House there used to stand ar
old inn, built to initiate the famous
roadhouses Of England, and bearing
the stored sign of Cock and Bottle
The former word in the old vernacular,
stood for the tap. The point is that
the man who got the last drink and the
muddy portion of the tap, was said to
have received the cocktail" Col.
Carter was once subjected to this i"-
dignity, and threw the stuff upon the
floor. "Heahaftah," he said, "I'll drink
cocktails of ma own connection, sah"
And, starting to clean out the shop"
he dashed together bitters, sugar. bits
Of lemon peel and Holland gin. Great
oaks from little acorns grow, and this
was the genesis Of the cocktail.

I found in Manchester, Liverpool and
also in London, that Canadian eggs
trade. Those that arrived in cold stor-
age chambers were said to be pleasing
very we'll. The only complaint heard
was that when the cases were opened
the eggs became very moist, and were
said to be sweating" or to be covered
with drops like dew. As matter OF
fact, the cause Of that was the open
ing of the cases containing the eggs
Immediately after they were taken
from the cold storage room. That ex-
posed the cold storage Of the eggs to
the warm moist atmosphere, and the
moisture was condensed on their sur
face just in the same way that it would
be condensed on the surface of pitch
er or glass containing ice water. Those
importers who left the cases closed for
two days in the chamber at the ordin-
airy temperature of the air, and then
opened them, found that the eggs had
been warmed up gradually, and had a
fine appearance. In the matter of i'm
proving that trade. think two points
need particular care, otherwise fear
there will be dissatisfaction and loss
IN carrying on the business.
~ Every handler Of eggs, from. the
one who gathers them from the nests,
to the one who exports them in cases,
should leave out all those of doubtful
quality and all the small ones: and
(2) There should be more frequent
and regular collection of eggs from the
farmers, the eggs being brought togeth-
er and kept in cold place, where there
will be no change or spelling.

The National Provisioner, in a re-
cent article on American hams in Ger
many. says:
Ihe meat famine continues to in
crease. In the eastern provinces pork
costs 80 pfennigs coco per pound and
good butchers meat" is practically
unobtainable. The scarcity prevails
not only in towns, but even in the re-
hottest country districts, where the
farmers cannot get harvesters at the
usual wages on account Of the increas-
ed cost Of living. The central organ
OF the butchery trade relates that in
Thuringia the farmers have no cattle
to sell, and that the butchers have to
buy their swine from the wholesale
dealers at 6S marks per hundred
pounds, living. When slaughtered the
Fork has cost the butchers IS pfennigs
per pound. When the farmers are ask
ed why they do not fatten more stock,
they say that with the present high
prices for barley meal it would not pay.
Thus the grand aim of the Agrarian
League-dear meat and dear corn-is
realized, and satisfies nobody. The
agrarian organs publish pages daily to
show that the import restrictions have
nothing to do with the scarcity, but
their arguments do not carry convic-
ton. In town and country, in. factory
and on the farm, everybody is clamor-
ing for removal, or at least suspen,
sion, of the import restrictions"

New Cure for Nervousness,

A new cure for nervousness has been
suggested to American sufferers from
this indefinable but terrible malady.
and by Chinese student of national
and racial characteristics. The man
who has formulated the new nerve
specific says that he believes it's adop-
ton will cure the worst case of nerv-
Gus headache. He believes the e-tire
absence Of nervousness which charac-
terizes the Monaghan race to result
simply from the centuries of practice
which his countrymen have given to-
the simple cure.
And this is the cure:
always wear soft-soled shoes, and
you will never be conscious of posses
sing nerves." says the savant from the
Flowery Kingdom.

Short and to the Point.

A few years ago, in one Of the south.
ern towns Of New York State, a man
died who had not lived very good
life. His family insisted that SER
mon be preached at the funeral, how
ever, and all due respect paid to the
dead mans memory. No minister in
town would oficiate, as all were SEEM
ingly engaged. However. retired ell
der, rich and kind-hearted, agreed to
attend. The house was filed with
neighbors, all rough and mostly igno-
rant. A short prayer was offered and
hymn sung. Then the elder, folding
his hands in front of him, began: "My
friends, if this man was bad man. l
have said too much; if good man. l
have said enough. Let us pray

A COMPREHENSION of Providence

A country parson went to see hum

mans Magazine, and, if possible, to
comfort him some little under heavy
trouble which had befallen. The pas
tor found the homely old man in the
desolate cottage alone. He said many
things and said we must learn to take
all atfliction humbly, as appointed to
us by Providence.
"Yes," said the good old man, who
was imperfectly instructed in theolo-
gy. that's right enough, that is; but,
somehow, that there old providence

An Adamless Hen Eden.

Writing on "A Poultry Yard Without
Grower" the poultry editor of the
Boston, Massachusetts, Ploughman says:
The poultry editor has been expert
menting with yard Of ten hens the
past year, keeping no male in the pen.
This is by no means the first time he
has tried the experiment, and the re-
suit confirmed the former conclusion
that under some conditions the plan is
the best. In the first place an extra
hen can be kept in place of the cock,
thus giving an extra egg every other
day, which is very nearly the average
yield Of each of the ten hens. The
roosterless pen did not perhaps lay
better thaa the other pens, but it GER
tainly did fully as well. There was no
itch or other contagious disease, which
Is often transferred throughout the pen
where the cock is kept. There were no
broken eggs and no torn or lame backs.
The germless eggs keep better and are
better liked by certain fastidious Gus
toners. There was no growing from
this pen to disturb the sleepers by
night and early morning. The only
drawback was the somewhat peculiar
behavior of the celibate hens, but when
kept in q pen most of the time there is
little annoyance. II poultry keepers in
general come to realize the uselessness
Of the males for the most of the year.
there would take place grand slaugh-
ter of surplus cocks. Hens will lay or
set fully as we'll If there are no growers
on the premises. At breeding season
one may be added two weeks before be-
ginning to save eggs for Matching.
What's the use in keeping from one to
dozen free poultry boarders on the
) farm the year around, just because
: most people do. At any rate it is
better to thin them out q little.

Shallow Setting of Milk.

The makers of butter sustain great
loss in shallow settings. Every per-
son that has had experience with the
shallow pans knows that no matter
how well the cream rises it is difficult
to skim it so closely that good deal of
the cream will not remain sticking
around the sides Of the pans and float
ing in the milk. When deep setting
is practiced the cream is so thick at the
top and SO solid that it is removed
with much greater ease, and the
amount left around the edges is not
greater than in the first place from a
much smaller quantity of milk. An
experiment to determine the loss from
$50 pounds Of milk per day showed
about two pounds of butter fat left in
the milk, where the milk was set for
twelve hours. This two pounds of but
ter fat would make more than two
pounds of butter. This daily loss dur
ing years time would be good in
terest on the herd. The advantage of
having small separator. when the
farmer is not in reach of a large one.
is obvious.
Prices Of Wool.-Although there are
large unconsumed stocks of wool in
this country. the prices of new clips
in the West have been advanced above
the quotations current in the Eastern
centers. The Western wool producers
are in close touch with agricultural
prosperity. and they have high hopes
of the future. They may be wrong.
but we believe they are right in re-
gard to the price Of wool. In fact.
nearly every well-informed man thinks
that the price Of wool will advance this
fall.-Maine Farmer.
