Preparing the Turkey.

A rather elaborate but delicious way
Of preparing turkey is the following
one: The bird ought to be nice and
plump. When drawn and washed it
must be soaked for twenty-four hours
in marinade composed of one quart
of old, brown sherry, to which has been
added pint of filtered water. the juice
OF lemon, some grains of black pepper,
three cloves, a spoonful of essence Of
truffles and two spoonfuls of mushroom
sauce. Care must be taken that the
turkey be turned every two hours in
this fragrant mixture in order that it
be equally we'll favored by it in all
parts. When the time has come 20 cook
the turkey, it is filled with a paste
made of chopped mushrooms, minced
truffles and boiled chestnuts Thin
slices of truff1es are slipped beneath the
loose skin on the crop and breast. and
then the turkey is trussed, wrapped in
sheets of thickly buttered paper, and
roasted on spit before bright coal
fire. Currant jelly is served with it, and
a glassful of sherry is mixed with the
gravy, which is sent to the table with
this tOothsome dish.

there should be something sown, if
only oats or peas. A mixture of both
these grains would probably make a
better winter protection to the soil than
either alone These will not live after
heavy freezing, but their leaves will
make a mulch that will protect the sur
face from being beaten down by rains.
When this mulch is piowed under, it
should not be buried more than three
or four inches. The cutaway harrow
will do it deeply enough.

done, the roof will be waterproof and

Paint the Kitchen.

Many farmers wives must work in
kitchens implanted and buildings other
wise neglected, and are expected to
keep them clean and neat. In an I'M
painted kitchen the walls must be clean

Eeedinc Grain to sheen,

There is nothing better than the
V-shaped trough in which to feed grain
to sheep. 1t is easily made, and should
be set up high enough so that sheep
will not put their feet into it. Mailing
a narrow board foot and half above
the trough will keep the sheep from
stepping or jumping over it. Sheep
will clean out all the grain in the bot
tom of the V. and if they do not it
should be turned over after they have
eaten, and left turned until ready 70
feed again, so that it will not fill with
snow, which muses. and dirties the

To Restore SCorChed Linen.

If linen has been scorched in ironing,
and the mark has not gone through so
as to injure the texture of the cloth, it
may be removed by the following proc
ess: Take two onions, peel and slice
them and extract the juice by squeez-
ing or pounding; then cut up a half
ounce of white soap and two ounces Of
fuller's earth, mix with them the onion
Juice and half pint of vinegar. Boil
this composition well; when cool spread
upon the scorched places, let it dry on,
and afterward wash, when the spots
will have disappeared.

Row to Save EripDings.

All housekeepers do not realize the
economy Of drippings when properly
clarified. Collect ali the drppings and
boil them in large saucepan of water,
being careful not to let them boil over
and thus set the chimney on fire When
the drippings have cooled for minute
or two, pour them into an earthen pan
of cold water When they have formed
a solid cake on the surface of the water
take it off and scrape away all the sedi-
ment adherng to the underside. Set
the cake of drippings in the oven in
pan or jar, and when melted it may be
put aside for various uses-making
cakes and plain pie crust, frying fish,
etc. Fresh beef drippings may be spread
ON toast without being clarified.

Storing Apple. and Grapes.

If apples are kept in the cellar they
should be placed in the coolest and most
airy part. 1t is best to keep them in
shed or garnet until there is danger of
freezing and then put in the cellar. To

ceptacles as alright as possible. The
barrel should never be left uncovered
Open the barrel and take out suffi-
cient quantity to last a few days and

A Cow for Every Acre.

We do not hear so much as we used
to do about the Importance of pro-
ducing enough feed on an acre to keep
a COW through the year. 1t can be done
by growing corn as the main feed. But
that is not always, nor generally, econ,
omy, for if all the land is kept in corn
it must require more manure than
where it can be every three or four
years seeded with clover, and after all
the soil would be less fertile than after
a clover seeding Besides, more depends
on the milking character of the cows
than on their number. The best dairy
men prefer rather to reduce their herds
in number, and still get as much milk
and butter as formerly. This makes
the tabor much less, and if the lessened
number of COWS leaves more land not
needed to keep them, it can probably
be given to other uses that will pay
much better.-American Cultivator.

Guessing Weight of Stock.

One of the best ways of training the
eve to judge both of live and dressed
weights of animals is offered at Clutch
ering time" If the farmer has some
barn scales it is easy to secure the live
weight of animals at any time. But
there is great difference in the amount
Of waste in killing and dressing, even
among animals of the same breed. 1t
is this kind of knowledge that the buy
er learns by long practice, and unless
farmers want to be cheated in selling
live stock they must learn also. The
boy on the farm should be encouraged
to make his guess as to how much each
hog or beef would weigh, both alive
and after it was dressed for marketing.
It is Knowledge that every boy on the
farm should try to gain.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by cons titution-
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inf1amed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition.. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intiamed condition of the

Uniontown. Pa. Nov. 1.-THE resi-
dence Of Horace p. Conn, on the
Cheat river. was robbed Saturday
night. Conn and his wife. who are
over go years Of age. with their hired
man. John Bixler. were bound and
forced to undergo brutal treatment
for the two hours that the burglars re-
mained In the house. The raid yield
ed the burglars about $1l0 in cash, a
gold watch and some other booty. This
did not satisfy them. They had come
after the $500 which they supposed
Conn had received as the first payment
on his coal lands. which he recently
sold. Conn had not got any Of the
money yet and told the intruders so.
but they did not believe him and re-
sorted to all sorts Of brutal treatment
and threats to make him yield up the
treasure. Twice he was stood up az q
target and given 30 many seconds to
confess. Revolvers were rubbed over
his head and aimed at his temple.
One fellow got a razor. and holding
Conn's head made movement as
though he would cut his throat. The
old man was SO faint from cold and
fright that they had to give him water
to revive him, to make him sensible
to their treatment. After the burg
lars left Mrs. Conn liberated herself
by untying the knots with her teeth.
and then cut the other victims loosa.

the governments employ.
1t developed that Kirkland had been

required to furnish $500. The tes-
timony involved several prominent
Republican. politicians In this city and
. lieutenant Of capital police at Wash
ington.
The alleged fraud. 1t was sworn to.
was accomplished in the Thirteenth di-
vision of the Seventh ward, and the
election papers OF this division were
produced in evidence. The returns
showed vote of 337 for Colonel
James E. Barnett, the Republican can
didate for state treasurer. and 5 for
William T. Greasy. the Democratic
candidate.
Kirkland. who at the time Of his ar
rest said his name was George
Wright. described the trip from Wash
ington to this city of the alleged re-
peaters on Monday night. He then
related In detail all that happened

ant Rogers. Of the capital police. In
