A SPHlNX-LiKE ATTITUDE

The people should note that the
subsidized V. & T. organs, the Viz
glnia Enterprise and Carson News
fall to answer the questions put to
them a few days ago pertaining to the
fares and freights on the V. & I.
whereas all the charges made by them
have been fully answered.
1t is the policy of these Yerington
mouthpieces to throw mud of The
darse est kind and to ignore all refu
tatlons of their malicious falsehoods.
They will never answer a question
asked by the people concerning the
robbery and perjury committed by the
V. q I. railroad and its alien mana
ger Yerington, All such queries are
communicated to Yerington who, be-
ing deaf, pretends not to hear them.
He will hear a bo,ub fall soon which
will open his ears and make him rea-
ilze that a sovereign people are ad-
dressing him.

a LIVE !SSUE.

One of the liveSt issues before the
people Of western Nevada to day is
the fight being made by the V. & T.
R. r. company to protect its interests
1t realizes that a move is or foot TO
put a stop to the systematic spoilation
of the people of the western counties
which it has ~piundered ever since the
road was built.
1t has resorted to the whole sale
purchase of votes on election day to
carry its end, it has SEM its paid lob
byist into the Halls of Legislation to
corrupt the representatives. of the
people, ii has seen that it controls the
various boards ef commissioners in
the western counties that its assess
ment can be lowered, it has placed
corrupt Judges on the bench, it has
owned courts and julies and assessors
and when it could not escape its lust
debts to the common wealth it's agents
have sworn to false statements of its
belongings that just taxation may Be
avoided.
1t began business by borrowing
1887 900 from the people and ever
Since the first rail was laid the people
have been compelled to pay taxes to
make this loan good.
1t has row proposed to compel the
road TO pay back u Of it $40, 600, ooo
dividends this large SUM borrowed
from a con6diug public.
1t is proposed IN the Legislature to
give this tax lodging, thieving con-
Germ a general shaking up in the i'll
terest Of the people and this is why
the road though its paid emmisaries
and hired slop bucket newspapers are
leaving no stone unturned to defeat
the Silver Legislative ticket.
The cry raised against Stewart is
merely a blind.
1t knows that free coinage would
reopen the Comstock mines AMI
treble it business, but it fears that the
election OF a silver Legislative ticket
would result in the psssain of bills in
the interest of the people which would
compel it to disgorge some of the
$40, DOC, 900 it has wrung from the
counties of western Nevada and sent
to New York.
A vote for the Silver Legislative
ticket is a vote for free coinage and a
vote to compel the railroad monopoly !

CULTURE OF ALFALFA.
IL Needs Moist Soil ana n Seed Red
In Ground Entirely Free
from Weeds.

Alfalfa needs fine seed bed in
ground free from weeds. Seeding
should be done IN April and the ground
handled so that at seeding time IL will
be moist for at least Is to 90 inches.
This condition can be secured on many
soils by fall blowing, pulverizing the
soil to depth of five or six inches with
disc harrow before blowing. Soil
inclined to blow can be lightly ridged
or subsurface packed after plowing,
In western Kansas a successful alfal-
ia grower runs burrows through tho
prairie surrounding his alfalfa to con-
duet the surplus water from each rain
to the field. This may be done to get
moisture into the soil during the win
ter before seeding. Alfalfa roots deep
iy and must have subsoil that IL cam
penetrate. Where the subsoii is imper-
vious subsoiler can be used, or where's
there is no danger from washing the,
ground can be thrown up into high,
sharp ridges before freezing. The frost
will thoroughly pulverize the ridges,
putting them into good condition for
seed bed when leveled in the spring,
and will pulverize the subsoil in the
burrows deeper, better and cheaper
than a subsoil plow.-Western Plow-

SELECTING SEED CORN.
Every single Ear should he Chosen
Solely on Account of Its being
Near standard.

My father practiced selecting his seed
corn AT husking time. His first rule
was to choose the upper ear on stalk
having two or more good plump ears.
a few OF the inner husks were left on
the ear TO mark il for saving, when put
ting the corn in the crib. When all the
seed was collected, the ears were braid
ed into large bundles and hung up To
dry, nut of the reach of mice or rata.
The second rule of selection was moro
useful than the first He chose only
the ears set close to the stalks, havinga
short footstalk and a small or medium
sized shank at the end of the cob. Such
ears husk easily, as the cob breaks close
10 the corn and the husks cling to the I
foo;stall and not to the ear when husk-
ing.
Following these directions we always
saved large supply of seed corn, and
the type of ears and corn and ear-set-
ting became noted and uniform Many
hills Of corn having two stalks would
yield three ears each, and where there
were three or four stalks in hill often
all but one of them had two ears each.
Prolific bearing was the rule. And this
was clearly produced by constant, per-
sistent selection following one line.
AT the same time the ears were set close
to the stalks so that the weight of grain
was balanced. Thus storms would not
so readily tangle and twist the crop,
or carry ii down to the ground.
know of farmers to-day who have
been saving their seed on another line
for many years. They choose the long
est ears to he found, without any regard
TO the stalks or footstalks. The result
has been to establish type of corn
with one long ear growing on a long
footstalk, attached to the main stalk
low down. often close to the ground,
so that when cutting the corn the foot
stalk is cut and the ear is thus sepa-
rated from the stalk, and has to be
picked up and put in the stout. And
when the ears are not thus cut Oft they
hang down and drop to the ground and
become watersoalted or rot by the time
OF hnsking. These long, dropping ears
often bear down so heavily that the
stalks are carried to the ground early
in the season and cannot fully mature
the crop.--Conntry Gentleman.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

Plants, like animals, need food, and,
like animals, do best on balanced RAJ
ton.
Alcohol in large quantities Is used
in making smokeless powder. 1t is used
to kill, as it nearly always is.
We have raised Sc bushels of kafir
corn to the acre, when alongside of IL
in the same field we only raised 30
bushels ofcorn.
Itsmay be accepted as true that
where corn is grown for the grain,
each plant should have an opportunity
for its fullest development.
Experimental work thus fer con-.
Quoted indicates that IL makes but little,
difference, so far as yield Is concerned,
whether corn is grown in drills or in
hills.
The 42o,ooO,ooo people inhabiting the
United States, Canada, Europe and Aus
tralia annually consume the product Of
252, o00, 900 acres of rye and wheat, be-
| ing Mt the rate of .06 of an acre per
capita.
We hear of soils wearing out. This
often means that the finest soil grains
have been dissolved in the process 0f,
feeding the plants leaving the soil maze
with coarser mechanical arrange-
ment, which reduces its power to ro-

IL possible to avoid il. After the feath-
ers are all off dip them in boiling water
FOR few seconds and then Immediate

Pumping. The next step Is TO cool of

a little while, then hang up TO dry. In
cold weather do not let them freeze.
Pack close in the packages, using clean,
dry straw between the layers. Big cof-
fee boxes make the best for dry pack
ing, and barrels where ice is used. Put
very little ice between, but plenty on
top; cover with four or five thicknesses
of heavy burlap and nail the hoop on

your packages, so they will open up
nice and present good appearance;
this is one of the principal inducements
for a good price.-E. l.. Page, in Ohio

chickens, and their struggles amount
to very little.
For home use the fowls head should
be cut Off, then allowed to bleed thor
oughly, then scalded and the feathers
pucked. One mistake common among
our home cooks is TO have the chicken
boiling in the pot before it is hardly
through kicking. The fowl should be
killed so that there will be plenty of
time for al! of the animal heat to get
out of the body; this improves the
flavor wonderfully and is more sani-
tary.
The above are all the directions nee
essary up TO the cooking point, for
home purposes, but for market IT is
quite different. For the home markets
the fowls may be scalded to pluck the
feathers, but for shipping always dry
pick, to get the best price. The fowls
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1898-12-31

should never have their heads cut off,
but they should be bled by making an
incision across the roof of the mouth,
then the feathers plucked as soon as
possible, leaving a few on the head and
lower part of the legs, and on capons
the wing feathers left on. In dry
picking care should be used not TO tear
the skin, and If in any case the skin
should be torn sew II up with a needle
and small white thread.
The large tail and wing feathers
should be pulled first, the operator sit
ting on low stool or box with large
ollcloth apron tied around him, as the
fowl will still be bleeding when the
picking is commenced. Pick the large
feathers oft first, and as fast as posi-

TACT OF THE PRESIDENT.
william Mckinley IIns shown That
He Is the President of the
whole Country.

Nothing illustrates better the con-
summate tact of President Mckinley
than his course at Atlanta. Not only
has he won the golden opinions of the
people of the south by his conciliatory
speeches, but he has accomplished
something more important than that.
He has gained for his course during the
war the warm approval of the demo-
cratic legislature of Georgia, and the
Endorsement of the people of the south
for his policy concerning the questions
growing out Of the war
A duller and less tactful man would
have failed to see the opportunity OF
which President Mckinley took adj
vantage. While Bryan and the demo.
Gratis in congress were preparing to
make an issue of anti-imperialism, the
president invaded the very stronghold
of the democracy, and with few SIM
pie speeches carried conviction to the
hearts of the people.
OF course this may have little effect
uSon the democratic demagogues in
congress who are determined to at
tack the course of the president during
The war and call in question the
wisdom of the policy believed to have
been adopted for the disposition of the
questions growing out of the war. but
they will be duller than they are sup
posed to be IL they fail TO see the drift
OF popular sentiment in the part of the
country to which they look for ma jori-
ties in national elections. twill be
difficult to array the democratic party
in congress against the administration
when the voters in such strongly demo-
cratic states as Georgia and Alabama
are shouting his praises.
William Mckinley has demonstrated
again that he is president Of the en-
tire country, and the proof Of that
demonstration will be furnished abun-
dainty when the next presidential cam
paign opens.-Cleveland Leader.

How to Cook Fresh Tongue.

Properly roasted or braised in stock,
q fresh beef or calf's tongue is delicious
meat. It is not remarkable for its nutri-
tious qualities; but, like the tenderloin
of beef, the meat is Of good favor II it
is carefully cooked and seasoned, and it
is always Of melting tenderness. Select
fresh beef tongue for roasting. Wash
and trim it thoroughly and season it
with salt and pepper. Wrap paste
around it made of.a pint Of -four and a
cupful of water. Roll out this paste
thin and wrap 1t around the tongue.
Lay it on meat rack in dripping
pan, with q pint of boiling water.
Roass it for about two hours. Keep the
surface OF the paste from drying too
hard or burning by basting it with the
boiling water in the bottom Of the drip
ping pan. At the end Of this time re-
move the paste It is of no further
value. Loosen the skin Of the tongue
and peel it off. It should come off
easily. Lay it back in the Pan, rub it
freely with butter, dredge it lightly
with -four and pour little rich brown
stock in the pan under it to baste it
with. Boast it, basting it often, until
it is we'll Drowned. Take it up. Add
mushrooms to the brown gravy in the
dripping pan, thicken Ii and serve it
with the tongue. The mushrooms, OF
course, n1ay be omitted, but they add
great deal to the havcr Of the tongue.
