Soda Biscuit.

An old California recipe for soda
biscuit, dating from the days when
baking powder was unknown, is stiiS
used in many kitchens of the old resi-
denters, and with most admirable re-
suits. Given experience and practice,
the tiny spongy biscuit thus evolved IS
as light as the proverbial feather. A
medium dough is mixed at night OF
sour milk, -four and pinch OF salt. In
the morning this is rolled out on the
molding board, with just bit of flour
to keep it from sticking, and over the
topsis sprinkled the tiniest bit of soda,
bearing in mind that the sourer the
milk the less soda used. Roll lightly
and fold over. Repeat three times, cut
into biscuit about the size of silver
dollar, and bake in slower oven than
is required for baking powder biscuit

A Story From Alaska With a Pleasant Ter

This is the story of Alexander Nc
Donald, one of the best-known char
acters in the Yukon Valley. He is a
great, numbering Scotchman-born in
Nova Scotia-who up to the time OF
the KlOndike discoveries never had an
idea of winning a greater fortune than
that of day laborer. He worked
from mining camp to mining camp all
along the northwest. SO slow was he
and so awkward in his work-his feet
entirely in his way and his bulk a mis-
fit for the size of prospect holes-that
he was reputed never to be able to
hold a job for longer than three
weeks. He was at Dawson shortly az
ter the first locations were made on
the Klondike. He went out with num-
erous stampedes, but never arrived IN
time to locate n paying claim. Finally
he stumbled across Il newspaper man
named Hunt, who had a claim on
Bonanza Creek Hunt was discouraged
because he had not the funds neces-
sary to develop it. This claim McDon-
aid purchased for three hundred dol
lars and set about developing it in his
usual slow and aimless fashion. Find
inc the claim fairly rich, he put on
force of laborers and in Il few weeks
had taken out eighty thousand dollars.
This sum he used Immediately to pur-
chase other claims. All that year, he
bought right and left everything OF
any promise that was offered to him,
often mortgaging the claims thus
bought to buy still other ground.
Many of the ventures came to naught,
but a few gave such phenomenal re-
turns that he speedily took the rating
of a millionaire Out of one claim on
FL Dorado Creek he shoyeled twenty
thousand dollars in twelve hours. To-
day he is probably worth between two
and three million dollars.
Many others came to success even
more suddenly than Mcdonald. one

pounds of gold-about twenty-five
thousand dollars-in n single day. A

Angora Goats.

AnSOr0 OOaCSs
Iu Texas Angora goats have been
cultivated for some years, and Farm
and Ranch says there are $4,000 Of the
animals within it's borders, while near
ly fifty tons of their fleece, commercial
ly known as mohair, were shipped last
year from Uvalde alone. 1t now sells
at prices ranging from % to 351a cents
pound for average grades, while some
of the very finest quality not yet mar
keted is expected to command 40 cents.
Not only is the fleece of considerable
value, but the hides and flesh are also
said to be in active demand.
Apparently there is an excellent OPP
portunity for many American farmers
in the raising OF Angora goats. 1t is
asserted that these animals can be kept
at much less expense than sheep,
while their fleece is of far greater val
lie than wool. 1t requires a dry climate
and short grass, while country of
broken and hilly nature, with scrubby
tree growths, is we'll adapted to its re-
quirements The statement is also
made that breeding the Angora with
the common goat produces an animal
of greater size than the latter, while
the fleece is soon graded up to profit
yielding quality.

why Incubator Chicks Die.

At the Rhode Island station careful
investigation has been made of the
cause of the death of young incubator
chickens. The total number of dead
chickens examined during the spring
and summer of 1899 was 826 1t was
alleged that about one-third Of the
chicks had been more or less injured
by uneven heat during incubation.
Another common cause of trouble was
in overcrowding of brooders, resulting
in death by suffocation, trampling, etc.
Tuberculosis was found to be very
prevalent, and Is per cent of the
chickens We're more or less affected.
For guarding against this disease it is
recommended to give the interior OF
the breeders all the sun and air posi-

sunburned Potatoes for Seed.

In answer to the inquiry of A. w.
Morton, sun-burned OF green potatoes
are all right for seed. Forty years ago
when we raised our potatoes on new
burned land, we had great many
sun-burned potatoes, and, as they were
not good for cooking purposes, we
saved them for seed. 1t came to be the
general opinion among farmers that
the green end of potatoes was much
the best for seed. They were consid-
cred more hardy and produced earlier
potatoes. / am not we'll enough in
formed on this point to claim any adj
vantage in this direction, but can safe
ly say that the green ends, or if they
are green all over, will not injure them
for seed.-E. E. Parkhurst, in Orange

The result will give the area of the

Hints About Milking.

Milking should be done with clean,
dry hands.
Always milk in the same order and
at the same time of day.
When it comes a cows turn to be
MIXED she knows it and expects it and
wants to be MIXED.
Always milk the COW dry before leav-
ing her, but do not continue stripping
after the milk is all drawn.
If part of the milk is left at each
milking in the udder nature will soon
stop providing it because it is not
taken.
The last milk drawn from COW is
much richer than the first. The last
quart usually contains more than three
times as much butter fat as the first.

How to Raise watermelons.

An Iowa contributor to the Farm,
Field and Fireside says: Select rich
loam-sandy loan is best-and dig
holes six feet each way, or in one long
row, and put shovel full of we'll
rotted manure in each hill, covering
with two inches of dirt. Plant about a
dozen seeds in each hill. covering one
inch deep. Plant from the 9Th to the
10th of May. Soon after planting these,
say five or six days, plant hill be-
tween each two of the first ones. These
will come up about the time bugs show
up generally, and they will not touch
the first vines, but will destroy the sec
ond planting. This is much easier than
putting ashes on the vines, and surer,
too.
The main thing after this is to keep
the ground loose around the bill, and
you can raise melons in spite Of droUth.
Should the bugs come early and attack
the first vines, they are all gone before
