Art In which Few Excel.
Dinner giving, very sensibly says .
writer In What to Eat is an art in
which few excel. 1t is easy enough to
select number of dishes from a cook
cry book, and have them prepared in
more or less appetizing manner by
ones cook, or to order a dinner COM
plete in all it's details from some ca
terer; but to make each guest feel that
he has dined we'll without giving him
the conviction that he has dined heart
lily is feat not often accomplished,
even by the most particular hostess.
The American entertainer is prone to
excess in the quantity which he offers
to his guests. He does this out of q
mistaken idea of hospitality, not from
any fear of being called mean if he
should give only a small repast.
AS rule, dinner should consist Of
not more than five or six chief courses
that is, soup, fish, entree, roast and
vegetables, each one served separately,
followed by an entrement of some sort,
and fruit. This is considered quite suf-
ficient by European entertainers, who
seldom give more than that, and whose
guests would be shocked to see four or
five vegetables on the table at the same
time. With the entree are often served
two vegetables; but the chief dish Of
that kind always comes on as a sep
arate course, either just before or after
the roast.

Mme. Caldwell, Now a French Mar
Quise, Receives a High Distinction.
Mary Gwendolin Caldwell, now the
Marquise of Merinville, was recently
given the Laetare medal by Notre
Dame University-a honor that Is
yearly conferred upon some American
lay person in recognition Of distin-
guished services rendered for religion,
education or morals.
Nine. Caldwell is the chief founder Of
the Catholic University of America at
Washington, and has given many other
evidences of her philanthropy. She
founded the divinity school of that uni
versity with gift of 100000, and her
sister, Miss Lima, now Baroness Zed-
WITT, added $4,000 to erect a chapel.
She Is the third woman to receive the
Laetare medal since the custom of pre-
senting it was instituted in 1883. Com

Oil Cloth and Lino1eum.

Oilcloth and linoleum are ruined Of
tener in the cleaning than in any other
manner Too hot water and the free
use of soap are the usual faults in the
treatment they receive. Left half
wiped, they looked very bright while,
wet but dingy and streaked when dry,
and the colors soon crack and peel off.
A soft flannel and lukewarm water are
the best things for general use upon oil
cloth, and you should make sure that it
is thoroughly dried after washing

To Get Rid of Stumps.
Frederick O. Sibley describes in the
New York Tribune method of getting
rid Of stumps which, although not near
ly so "fast' in it's operation as dyna-
mite, giant powder and the like, is per-
fectly safe to handle, but little more
costly and, when rightly controlled,
much better than any explosive
substance mentionable, for the rea-
son that it leaves, on the whole, no
fragments to be gathered up and dis
posed of in the end, but reduces the en-
tire stump to ashes, which for encour-
aging growth, are not easily to be sur
passed.
The way to do it is to dig hole be-
tween the roots, or at one side Of the
stump, and partly under it, large
enough in which to start fire. This
much achieved and the fire once nicely

such posts can be made serviceable by
cutting away One-half of each post,
leaving fat surface, and putting two
or three bolts and nuts through to hold
them together, and then setting the
posts in the ground again. A post thus
repaired will often last as long in the
fence as it did when originally set and
new. In most places, unless a man is
very handy with tools, the labor of
splicing two old posts would be worth
as much If not more than the cost of
buying a new one.

Movable Pipnen.

The accompanying illustration, from
the American Agriculturist, needs but
little explanation. When pigs are turn
ed out to pasture in the spring or fall,
they should have some protection from
bad weather. A pen like this is easily
made and is very inexpensive. A bun
die Of straw placed inside will keep
them comfortable, and they amply re-
pay the care required to keep them
warm and dry. Being built like a
sled, it is easily taken from place to
place by hitching a horse to the iron
round in front, with chain. A similar
arrangement could be used for chick
ems if they are kept in number of

FIRM Notes,


Failures on the farm are often due to
the use Of inferior seed or too much
economy in that direction. A dollar
saved in seed sometimes causes loss
of a hundred times the cost of the seed.
Always sell the inferior stock, but be-
fore so doing it will pay to put as much
fat on the animals as possible, not only
to secure extra weight, but also be-
cause a fat animal will bring an extra
price in market.
Early cut hay is to be preferred to q
late-cut crop on the ground of quality.
The dry matter of most, if not all, crops
is relatively richer in protein in the
early stages of it's growth, and in carbo-
hydrates in the later stages. Late-cut
hay is not an ideal food for dairy stock,
owing to the large increase of indigest-
ible woody fiber which occurs as the
crop approaches maturity.
The early crops are quickly destroy
ed If neglected. Onions require careful
watching, as the early weeds may get
ahead of them in forty-eight hours
should the weather be warm for few
days, which doubles the work of the
farmer. The best time to destroy
weeds is when they are terminating.
Whenever the wheel hoe runs between
the rows it not only admits warmth
and causes the seeds Of weeds to geE-
inmate, but kills those that are just
starting.
But few farmers would consider hay
as a suitable food for hogs, but the
Kansas Experiment Station reports
better results from a mixture of alfalfa
hay and Kaffir corn than from Kaffir
only. The hay was fed dry in forkfuls,
and the pigs were given an abundance.
They picked out the leaves and liner
stems, respecting the coarser portions.
It was decided that pasture in summer
and hay In winter produced pork
cheaply.

Length of cotswo1d Wool.

A Vermont farmer, recently showed
to a wool dealer in that State wool from
one of his Cotswold sheep from which
a thread was taken that when brought
out to full length measured almost
eight feet. 1t is probable that Cotswold
sheep give wool with the longest
threads of any, though all wool, being
curly. is much longer than 1t looks to
he on the bodies Of the sheep. The
growth of wool continues from one
shearing till the next, and any sickness
or indigestion Of the sheep during this
neriod results in injury to the wool
grown at that time.

Permanent Cure for Bunions.

Place bandage around the foot over
the bunion very tight; carry one end Of
bandage up around the great toe, fore
ing it out from the other toes toward
the inner part of foot little more each
day. This treatment. if persisted in for
a week or two, or if bunions are very
bad, a little longer, will cure the cause
Of bunions, namely, enlarged joints
from ill-ftting shoes. Bandage can be
worn very comfortably in the shoe.

care is used in selecting and the seed

next spring, that more grains will ger

got under way, slip over the stump the
big cylinder shown in the accompany
illustration, adding to it the smoke
stack"
AS to this cylinder, have it made of
sheet-iron (any blacksmith or tinsmith
ought to be able to do the work Of riv-
citing it together), and be sure the drum
proper is of ample diameter to go over
any stump which you may wish to get
rid of. AS can be seen, the upper part
should taper, Ikea cone, and terminate
in what will readily accommodate Or
binary six-inch stove-pipe, three or
four lengths of which are sufficient to
make the whole arrangement act SINH
lar to stove and so "cremate' success
fully almost any kind Of stump.
OF course, the more pipe there is add
ed to the cylinder the fiercer the
draught will be. 1t will not do to have
1t too strong, however; otherwise the
drum part might collapse. Therefore,
when the fire is first started and the
"crematory" has been placed in posi-
ton, the operator should watch 1t close
" to see that it does not get too hot.
Provided it should begin to turn red,
earth ought to be applied around the
bottom Of the cylinder until only just
enough air can gain admittance to keep
the fire going inside as desired. In this
way a field of stumps can be cleared
out quite easily, and that to ones COM
plete satisfaction.

va,ue of sheep on the Farm.

The old farms in Canada that COM
mand the highest prices are said to be
those on which sheep have been kept
from the time they were first occupied.
The pastures on them are compare
tivelv free from bushes and weeds,
while the soil is firm and productive of
the best sort of grasses A farm >on
which a large number of sheep have
been kept for many years is very desir-
able for dairy and other purposes. The
lesson of the value of sheep Is one that
farmers seem to learn but slowly.

however, till they had been loaded on
wagons and carted to police court,
where a police magistrate came out,
listened to the inspectors story, salts
fed himself by his own senses that the
fowls were unsound and ordered them
to be destroyed. A police magistrate
is apparently the only English official
who can condemn bad meat, and this
he can do only after listening to COM

this, is the medium to reach the people,
for it is the most widely read paper
published in the southwest.
To-day the New Mexican received a

of a ranch owner and stock raiser
named John Thomas. who left New
York forty years ago. John T. Shep-
herd, of New York City, is the man
seeking the information, and if John
Thomas is anywhere in the southwest
notice will undoubtedly be brought
to his attention sooner or later.

PREHISTORIC ANIMAL REMAINS.
A Strange Discovery Made Near tie VIII
lage of Tesuoue,

The fossil small of a Strange pre-
historic animal were discovered last
week at Postmaster Nusbaum's ranch
at Tesuque. Alphonso Dockweiler, who
has charge of digging a ditch through
a ridge on the ranch, picked up a piece
of petrified bone, the shape of a large
tongue, but with a row of twelve teeth
along what seemed to be the tip of the
tongue. He dug a little further, and
be the jaw Of an animal that was part
ic~htyosaurus and part plesiosaurus,
with some of the characteristics of the
pterodactyl, perhaps. The jaw consist
ed of about twenty layers of bone in the
shape of a tongue, and each layer was
armed with a dozen teeth, which show
ed that the animal was herbiverous and
not c~arniverous. These twenty layers
were evidently the upper jaw of the
animal. Mr.. Dockweiler expects to find
the lower jaw and perhaps all of the
remains Of the strange animal. AS much
as he has found, he will bring to this
city Friday or Saturday, and from here
ship it to the Smithsonian institute at
Washington. Two layers of the jaw
were brought to the city yesterday by
j. G.. Schumann and shown to friends,
who were all puzzled by their unusual
shape. tt is we'll known that the sur
roundings of Santa Fe abound with
submarine fossil remains, which seem
to prove that in long gone by ages the
site of the city was covered by a sea.
Only half a mile up the arroyo and
canon that branch off Palace avenue,
near the old brewery, pretty petriied
seashells are to be found. At many 9TH
er places there are unlmistakable signs
of the erosion of waves and the foot
prints of gigantic prehistoric amphib-
fans, who made their home both in the
water and on the land in the days when
the highest peaks of the Rocky noun
tain range were only islands in a vast
ocean.
