Spectre of the Br9cken

The summit of the Broken, or
Blocksberg, the highest of the Hartz
mountains in Prussian Saxony, pre-
sents a singular optical phenomenon
eight or nine times during the year. It
Is usually seen at sunrise or sunset
and consists of a gigantic projection of
the observer, or observers, upon misty
clouds, which rise out of the valley on
the side of the mountain opposite to
the sum-. Sir Walter Scott wrote of it:
Among the various legends current in
that wild country there is a favorits
one, which supposes the Hartz to be
haunted with a kind Of tutelar demon,
in the shape of a wild man of huge
stature, his head wreathed with oak
leaves, and his middle cinctured with
the same, wearing in his hand a pine
torn up by the roots. 1t Is certain that
many profess to have seen such a
form, traversing with huge strides, in
a line parallel to their own course, the
opposite ridge Of a mountain when di-
vided from it by a narrow glen; and,
indeed the fact Of the apparition is SO
generally admitted that modern skep-
ticism has only found refuge by ascrib-
ing 1t to optical deception"

Satisfactory Sailing Of Beef.

Beef sailed in the following manner
will seldom fail to keep well: Cut the
meat up as soon as cold and put in a
cool place where it will not freeze, to
'ripen" for four to eight days, &C
cording to the age of the creature. II
a ~two-year-old, five days viii suffice.
The ~"ripening" period completed, set
on the stove an iron boiler two-thirds
full of water, and the moment 1t boils
~furiously put into it as many pieces Of
meat as the receptacle will hold. Put
on the cover and allow the whole to
cook about ten minutes; then take the
meat out and replace it with some
more for the same length of time, be-
Ing sure that the fire Is good and the
water boiling well before placing in
the meat. Thus continue until you
have treated all the meat that Is to
be corned. The result of this process
viii be the closing of the pores Of the
meat on the outside, which will pre-
vent the juices going into the brine.
The brine should be made Of two
ounces Of saltpetre, two pounds Of
brown sugar, six pounds of coarse salt
and four gallons Of water. Heat these
thoroughly, and while boiling hot ap-
ply to the meat, after 1t has been pack
ed In q good barrel. Place a weight
on top Of the meat. It Is always Of
vital Importance that corned meat of
any kind be kept submerged.-The
Epitomist.

Short and Useful Pointers.

Don't overcrowd the poultry house.
Coal oil will cure s~caly-legged poul-
try.
With some farmers field beans are a
paying crop.
Too much feeding will cause the
hens to have bowel trouble.

Sheep are naturally quiet animals.
They dislike changes and excitement.
Aerating the milk tends to drive out
the bad odors that have been absorbed.
1t is said that a few potatoes are ex-
eellent to keep a horse in good condi-
ton.
An advantage that sheep have is that
they are comparatively free from Dis
ease.
The average farmer hardly realizes
that wide tires benefit him in more
ways than one.
Rather than allow the land to lie idle,
sow a green crop to be ploughed under
as manure.
Farmers should study the fertilizing
question. Plants are like animals:
they need a balanced ration.
Red raspberries can be set with prof.
1t in the Fall, but Spring setting is pre-
ferable for the black caps.
Feed the horses : plenty Of grain
while at work, and when they are idle
decrease the amount of grain and in
crease the hay.
Plant and cultivate what your home
market requires. Don't ship produce
any further than 1t is absolutely nee.
essary to do.

man who has paid the most attention
to business.
we oil love to see the old hen strut
ing around with her brood of chicks
| but when she struts as far as the gar
den, brickbats appear to take the place
of sentiment.
when we take into consideration thu
nature Of the cows product it becomes
evident that we might as well deprive
her of her rations as to furnish an in
suficient amount Of pure drinking
water.

Woman q Beast Of Burden.

IL is no uncommon sight to see Ital-
ian women walking along the streets
balancing burdens on their heads that
the average man would prefer to have
sent home ON q truck. A few days
ago one of these women passed
through City Hall Park. On her head
she was carrying what appeared to De
the entire woodwork from the Interior
on some house. The bundle was made
nm of eight pieces Of hard wood, the
shortest being fully twelve feet 10
length. Each piece was six inches IN
width and an inch thick. The woman
steadied this burden with n hand,
while. in the other she carried what
one would consider a good load for one
person In the shape of a bundle OF
shorter pieces OF wood.
AS she turned into Centre street
near Chambers the end of the load OF
lumber on her head came in contact
with the head of a man who was going
In the opposite direction. In order to
prevent hitting him too hard the Wo'
man tried to turn to n side, and as
she did so her burden fell to the walk.
In vain she tried to replace it on hei
head. AT last two men took hold Of
IT. one at each end. They found that
even their combined strength was
inst sufficient to lift up and place It OF
the woinan's head again. When tn
wood was finally adjusted In I
poaitlon tho woman picked Up be-
smaller bundle arl started up Gsnsr'
street-NeW York T.meR

Good and Poor Cows Compared

The Importance Of keeping none but
the very best cows cannot be too
strongly urged upon dairymen and
farmers. A study of the amounts paid
the patrons of any cheese factory will
soon convince one that there is a very
great difference between the amount
paid for the best cows milk and that
paid for the milk of the poorest cow.
The difference In the profits from keep
Ing good, medium and poor cows has
been very we'll illustrated by the ex-
pertinent stations In the records of
their herds.
The record of the dairy herd Of if-
teen cows at the Utah station shows
that the food cost of 100 pounds of
milk varied with the different COWS
from 29.4S to 52.O7 cents. The cost of
food per pound of butter had a wide
range. 1t was from sol to 11.8 cents
per pound. With butter at twenty
cents a pound, the net profit per cow
ranged all the way from SAT- to
$51.37 for the year. The cows had been
selected with considerable care from
common natives and grade stock.
Nine cows, mostly Jersey and grade
Guernseys, at the Pennsylvania sta
ton, were fed In an experiment last
ing $50 days. During that time there
was a difference Of 1881 in the profit
from the poorest and the best cow.
The value Of the product from the best
COW was $64.32, while that from the
poorest cow was worth only $2S.O6.
The cost of the food was very nearly
as much as for the best cow. This Is
the point SO often overlooked.
At the New Jersey station the cost
Of keeping a cow for the year was
1924, being the average for a herd
Of twenty-one cows. Valuing the milk
at once cent a pound, the best cow
cleared a profit of $4,000, and the poor
est one only $1.79. The best cow had
the ability to take practically the same
food and made out of it a product
worth $3.50 more than the poorest
cow could. Valuing the product as
butter at twenty cents a pound, the
best cow made q profit of $2S.74 over
the cost Of her feed, anad the poorest
cow made a loss of $1.91. In this case
the poorest cow did o pay for her
keep. The best COW had the ability
to convert out Of the same food value
a product valued at $4O.G5 more than
the poorest cow.
Such facts should convince every far
mer that it is to his interest to test
his cows and find out definitely which
COWS in his herd are the profitable
ones to keep.-New York Weekly Wit
ness.

The Care of House Plants.

In caring for house plants it Is a
good idea to treat them much as they
would be treated out Of doors. It
doesn't rain every day. therefore IL
cannot be necessary that they should
be deluged every twenty-four hours.
To keep the plants wet all the time
makes them grow quickly but poorly.
They may spindle UP, but the growth
is not luxuriant. On the other hand
the soil should never be allowed to be-
come so dry as to inture the roots. Do
mot water the plants too frequently,
but give them plenty Of water at inter
walls. Pour over them enough so that
the soil becomes soaked and the water
oozes out from the aperture in the bot
tom Of the pot. Then do not wateE
them again until the soil looks dry.

soda; the articles to be well secured
with this mixture, then dried and pol
ished with a leather dipped in whiting.
For brass, it depends a good deal on
whether 1t is lacquered or not. In the
former case the best thing is to put
them into a boiling solution Of soap
and soda, and leave them in 1t for a
few minutes, then scrub them well
with a soft brush and good soap, when
the water is just cool enough to put
Your hands in; now throw the brass,
all soapy as 1t is, into fresh cold water.
rinse well, dry and leather well. If
any strong chemical or cleansing paste
is applied 1t will inevitably affect the
lacquer. For ordinary brass, IL very
dirty, oxalic acid is recommended, but
this is not d substance forinexperienced
hands; so IL the brass is SO dirty as not
to yield to the same treatment as Is
recommended FOR the lacquered brass,
or to any good brass polishing paste.

tent workman and thenceforward keep
1t clean. This is not at all difficult, If
dirt and stains are not left to harden
on and eat into the metal.

harvesting the ceop.

The proper harvesting and prcser-
vation OF the hay crop has a great In
fpence on dairying, especially winter
dairging.
wise, and consequently successful
dairyman, Is always looking ahead O
yoar or more, and making his plans &C
cordlngiy.
He knows that because hay Is a.
winter food for cows is tabooed by
some, Is due to the reason that It Is
Improperly cured and stored in the
summer.
II we could only have weather made
% order during haying, a much better
quality of fodder than the average
would result.
However, v e with the most favor
sole weather conditions, some farmers
would never have good hay.
They harvest It too expeditiously.
ana then pack the imperfectly cured
grass INTO tight barns, where the ex-
cess moisture 1t contains results later
~ muety or smoky" hay.
The bulk of the hay crop In the Uni
ted States, Is harvested according to
attitude prior to the middle OF July,
and t has long been considered as a
Sishing season to work.
With modern machinery the ease
md rapidity with which the crop can
ne handled, tempts the farmer to I'M
perfect curing, and this is q point that
wish 70 speak about.
The so-called sweating process
that freshly cured hay passes through,
being simply the evaporation Of ex-
cess moisture, should take place un.
Der conditions In which air can freely
circulate through it.
BY this plan fresh sweet hay ran be
fed opt to the cows in winter, re.
sulting IN an increased milk dow and
augmented dairy profits.
The principle reason that hay has
fallen into such disrepute rs feed FOL
GARY cows, Is because there Is SO much
Door bay feed.
Where hay Is stacked it will always
ray to thoroughly protect the top and
Sides against In clcmency Of thu

= R,,tter from Pasteurized Cream.

THE results which have been attain
cd In the United States from making
butter from pasteurized cream have
not generally been satisfactory, al
though this method is largely prac-
tieed In Denmark. In some recent ex-
periments made at the New York EX-
periment Station at Geneva with pas
teurizing machines the results indicate
that the fault does not lie in the ma
chimes, but in the low temperature in
manipulating them. The germ destroy
ing power of the machines proved most
excellent when used at temperatures
ranging from 176 to 1S5, and the num-
Der of bacteria present were reduced
from hundreds Of thousands and even
millions to 200 or 300.
Butter made from milk heated mo-
mentarily to these high temperatures
has very little cooked flavor, and, If
handled rightly, non at all. II the
machines are ever to become popular
there must be absolutely no favor of
this sort in the resulting product as
made by the majority OF butter
makers.

Pictures in the Nursery.

AS is we'll known discrimination in
applying knowledge is as important as
the knowledge itself. 1p a nursery
seen recently, the walls were covered
with one Of the papers specially de-
signed for nurseries, showing in con.
slant repetition many Of the characters
famed in children's stories. The paper
was q study for the children, and,
having been provided, 1t should have
been left to be studied. Instead, the
walls were we'll covered with pictures,
good, bad and Indifferent, an environ
ment which must have been extreme
~ distracting to the children who
passed most Of their time in the room.
Either a few good pictures against an
almost plain background, or the riot
of fairytale happenings alone put upon
the walls for the occupation and inter.
est Of the children, would have been q
much better arrangement.

Toasting bread until 1t becomea
brown largely converts the starch into
dextrine, and hence, so far as the
brown portion is concerned, one Of the
processes Of digestion Ia gone. through
before the bread is takek into the stom.
ach. 1t will be found that the thinner
the slices of bread, and the more thor
oughly they are toasted, the easier di'
gestion will be, and when all portions
Of the slice Of bead are thoroughly
toasted-not burned, but still changed
to o deep brown ~color-it viii be found
to be still more easily digested.

Fences for Angoria Goats.

Angora goats are not breachy, but
,bov will climb. If a fence leans from
them they will crawl over it, or they
will creep If the fence is too open.
They are retained by any perpendicular
fence. A common rail fence will hold
lbeh. A woven wire fence is perfec-
tion for the purpose. If a fence was
able to keep dogs out, it would be a
benefit, for while dogs do not attack
goats as often as they do sheep, they
do sometimes attack them, and kill
Young stock, but, so far as we have
ever known, old stock is never killed.
Old stock will fight a dog ferceiy.

Cleaning the OIL Lamp.

Every good housekeeper who enjoys
the light from a good oil lamp should
keep always on hand a little brush to
clean the holes in the burners, the
lungs Of the lamp. The lamp should
be taken apart every day. That is. it
should be opened to allow the gas to
escape, and then carefully filed. There
is no danger Of an explosion If this is
done. The reservoirs should be washed
out once a week to insure a clear fame.
When the lamp is put out the wick
should be turned down low and the
fame blown out cross the chimney.
If the wick Is turned down below the
tube when the lamp is not lighted the
wick will not feed over the edge and
there will be no odor. It Is never
necessary to do anything more than
to rub the wicks to take off the black
crust that forms at the top. If the
wicks become gummy they can be
soaked In vinegar and thoroughly
washed and dried. Chimneys may be
tempered by putting in cold water and
allowed to come to a boil. In lamps
where the reservoir is glass a little
coarse rock salt makes the oil give a
clearer light, but 1t must not be used
when there Is anything that will rust.
