The Red Ant Pest.

The little red ant, the terror to house
keepers, l have found by experience IS
not invincible. Finding them one day
overrunning my refrigerator, / made an
attack with soap and water, but to no
avail. l procured an ounce of oil OF
sassafras, which banished the objec-
tionable little creatures like magic.
Since then they have appeared in my
pantry and about the sink, but my oil
has done its deadly work. My method
is to follow the train-for they form
train in traveling-to its origin. Satur-
ate small cloth with the oil and apply
to every portion of the distance covered
by ants. If they come out of crack,
pour a little Of the oil into it. This is
sure death to them.-Good Housekeep-

About Selling AppIes.

If apples are sold to commission men
or fruit dealers it is best to consult
them as to the time and manner of
picking, grading and packing, says
Farmers Tribune. They are familiar
with the wants Of the trade and know
best how to meet it's demands. A large
crop Of good winter apples can some
times be disposed of to the best advan-
tage by selling in the orchard for a
lump sum. This obviates the work and
worry of marketing, and holding such
perishable crop for higher prices is
risky business. 1t is not apt to pay
unless one is a good judge of the mar
ket and the fruit is well stored. Where
the apples are sold on the trees one
should be able to correctly estimate the
quantity of apples on tree and know
the highest price which they will COM
mand on the market. But however the
crop is sold, it is well for the orchard
list to have the picking under his con-
troll, as trees are often injured, limbs
broken, etc.

GHOSTS,

Small Sums.

twenty-five in Number, Seen for
Small Sums.
1t has long been known that certain
articles of food, when eaten at bedtime,
will produce nightmare.
1t has remained for learned phys1-
clan to establish the fact that not only
can nightmare be produced al Will by
means of mince pie, but that certain
drugs will infallibly produce certain
visions. He has put up in bottles va
rious preparations for the production OF
nightmare specters, and promises that,
if the directions are followed, failure
will be impossible.
A course of experiments made upon
the office boy by the physician soon
convinced him that lobsterine-the al
kaloid principle of lobster-When taken
in doses of from one to four grains,
produced the vision of his great-grand-
mother sitting on the patients chest,
and that six drops Of the mother tine
ture of mince pie produced the vision
of a long-haired male ghost.
He then extended his researches, I'M
til he has now ascertained how to pro-
duce no fewer than twenty-five distinct
ghosts, and will, in time, probably
place double the number of ghost-pro
ducers on the market
Thanks to the physicians discovery
any one can, at the rate of 80 cents per
bottle, supply himself with twenty-five
assorted ghosts. There is Bottle No. l,
which produces beautiful lady ghost,
With a sad, sweet smile, and an evil
IDENTIFY benevolent disposition.
This ghost is admirably suited for
nervous people and young children, and
has proved very soothing to overwork-
ed men and timid women.
Bottle No. 3 produces the specter
hitherto associated with lobster. pc
culiarIy frightful specter, described IN
the directions accompanying Bottle NO.
s as a 'blonde ghost in Il blue corset
cover" is recommended to persons
anxious for excitement.
The physician looks for a very lucra-
tive trade as soon as he escapes from
the asylum.

Celery Sandwiches.

Use dainty little baking powder bis
cults freshly baked but cold, or white
homemade bread for these sandwiches.
Only the very tender part of celery
should be used and chopped fine and
put in iced water until needed. Add a
few chopped walnuts to the celery and
enough mayonnaise dressing to hold
them together; butter the bread before
cutting from the loaf, spread one slice
with the mixture and press another
over it. If biscuits are used split and
butter them. They should be small and
very thin for this purpose and Drowned

Celery and ADDle Salad.

Pare three tart apples and cut into
dice mix with two cupfuls of celery cut
into half-inch lengths. Arrange lettuce
leaves into cups for individual serving,
fill with the apples and celery and pour
over plain French dressing just be-
fore serving. Rosy-tinted apples, hav-
ing a slice cut off the end to make them
sit firmly, and carefully followed out
until only a nice wall is left, make very
pretty receptacles for this salad. The
apples should not be prepared long be-
fore serving, as they turn dark after
being cut.

keep good lookout for holes"
Both pursuers and pursued were now
going over the ground at a tremendous
pace. The Indians had ceased firing, for
most Of those who had guns had hscharg-
ed them as Mr.. Hardy and his sons had
mounted, and it was impossible to load
at the speed at which they were going.
During the first mile Of the chase Mr.
Hardy had looked round several times,
and had said each time: I'VE are holding
our own, boys; they are q good hundred
yards behind; keep your horses in hand"
At the end Of another mile his face
frightened as he looked round. "An
right, boys; they are failing off fast.
Three-quarters Of them have stopped al
ready. There are not above a score of
the best mounted anywhere near us. An
other mile and we will give them a les
SON."
The mile was soon trayersed, and Mr..
Hardy saw that only about twelve In
dams had maintained their distance.
Nov is the time. boys. When ! say
halt, draw up and jump off, but take very
steady aim always at the nearest. Don t
throw away shot They are only hun
dred yards off, and the reyolvers will tell.
Don't try to use the second chamber;
there is no time for that. Use your pis-
tolls when you have emptied your car
bines. Haiti"
Not FIVE seconds elapsed after the word
was spoken before Charley's carbine
rang out. Then came the sharp cracks
of the carbines and pistols in close sue
cession. The Indians hesitated at the ire
ntendous fire which was opened upon
them, then halted. The delay was fatal
to them. In little over half minute the
eighteen shots had been fred. Five In
dams lay upon the plain; another, evil
IDENTIFY a chief, had been carried off across
the saddle of one Of his followers, who
had leaped off when he saw him fall;
and two others We're evidently wounded
add had difficulty in keeping their seats.
''Now, boys, change your chambers and
take a shot or two after them," Mr.. Har-
dy said, as he again reloaded his rifle.
The boys, however, found by the time
they were ready that the flying Indians
were beyond any fair chance of hitting;
but thei" father took a long and steady
aim with his deadly rife, and upon its re-
port q horse and man went down. But
the rider was in an INSTANT upon his feet
again, soon caught one of the riderless
horses which had galloped off with his
companions, and followed his comrades.
"Well done, boys" Mr.. Hardy said,
with hearty pat on their shoulders.
''You have done CALAMITY for first fight,
and feel proud Of YOU"
Both boys colored with pleasure.

Thirteen. 1t is enough to make them
heartily wish themselves back. Now let
us give the horses ten minutes rest, and
then we will stir them up again. We
must not lose time; it will be sunset in

of the horse stumbling from any cause;
| would, therefore, say that, instead Of
preventing horses from falling the
bearing-rein is calculated to render
falling more frequent. Other not I'M
common results Of the use of this in
strument Of torture are distortion of
the windpipe to such a degree as to
impede the respiration ever afterward,
excoriation of the mouth and lips,
paralysis of the muscles Of the face,
etc. Another writer says: flying one
part Of an animals body to another
does not necessarily keep him on his
feet. 1t is the pull from the arm Of the
driver that makes the horse regain him
self when he stumbles. One might as
well say that tying a mans head back
to belt at his waist would prevent
him from falling if he stumbled in a
race"

is, the owner or driver does not desire
to torture the animal. He either does
not know any better, or else does what
others about him have been doing for
years. There are many ways in which
the tight, overdrawn check-rein annoys
or Injuries the horse. The picture show
ing the wrong way of checking" well
illustrates the trouble. In fact, the pie
lures are a whole story in themselves.
The leafiet mentioned makes a strong
argument against the tight check, quot
ing some Of the most noted breeders,
drivers and horsemen against it. Here
are two samples-the first from VIM.

Sugar Beet Culture.

We have not been an advocate Of
sugar-beet growing because we have
believed that a good farmer can grow
Dor that will bring more money, but
we have not tried to injure the bust
ness, as a German paper would do
when it says, "PloW in the spring, re-
CARELESS of mud and water. Stop every
drain that may be carrying the water
away from the beet fields. Fall plow-
ing is to retain the moisture. Spring
blowing must aim to secure every bit
of moisture for the beet field" We
have grown some sugar beets, not for
the factory, but for stock feeding, and
we would say to any one growing for
either purpose do not pillow or sow the
seed until the ground is dry and firm.
To ploW regardless of mud and water
will insure a small crop of beets that
are scarcely worth feeding to the COW
or pigs. Fall blowing should be done
to relieve the land of moisture and not
to retain it, and thus it should be, when
it is possible, up and down the side
hills instead of around them, that the
water may be drained off by the bot
tom of the furrow, below the earth that
is turned over. AS we never visited
Germany we will not say the advice is
not good there, but we know of no part
Of the United States where we think it
would be good. But we will give a
little bit of what we think is better
advice. If you grow sugar beets do
not sell them at 81 or So a ton, when
you have cattle or hogs to feed them to,
unless you can get back all the pomace
made from them.-NeW England Home

Chinese and Japanese mating may be
much improved by sponging with strong
salt and water, but the wet must not

In cooking custards, or in heating
anything required to boil quickly, do
not have the spoon in the liquid, re-

be conducted away by the spoon.
Never keep pickles in glazed earthen-

though we may obtain much more pro-
tein and considerable mineral matter
from feeding cotton-seed meal, but
this may not be fed in large quanti-
ties. Gluten meal supplies protein in
other sections, while in still other sec.
tons dependence for protein is placed
almost wholly on cowpea hay and al
falfa, with small feeds of cotton-seed
meal, the hay of the cowpeas and al
falfa being ground. The essential
thing is to obtain the best quality Of
protein for ones herd at the smallest
possible expense.-Exchange

TESTING Seed.

The result of tests made by ccmpe-
tent men with samples of seeds sent
to the Buffalo Exposition proves two
things: First, the necessity for care on
the part of farmers in buying seeds
only from reputable seedsmen, and,
second, the desirability of testing all
seeds during the winter, that the loss
IF both seed and crop may be avoided
!n the tests referred to the percentage
of good seed was very low in the ma
jority of cases. With some samples
the good seed was found to be only
about 20 per cent of the whole. In one
test of orchard grass sold at So per
hundred pounds, the good seed was
only 1875 per cent of the whole, MAX
ing the real cost of the good seed
$3S.46 per hundred pounds. 1t is true
the original price of So per hundred
pounds is low, but the result ought to
have been better even then.

To Kill Insects.

1t may not be generally known that
skim milk or buttermilk readily mixes
with kerosene, forming an emulsion
which destroys insects without danger
Or injury to animals or plants ON which
they might be that might result ON
the use Of pure oil and water, says the
American Cultiyator. We first learned
of this from using this mixture for the
scale insect, or mite, which causes
scaly legs on fowls. We found that one
or two clippings or Washings with it
would cure the worst case of scaly leg
and leave the skin as smooth as when
first Matched. We never had occasion
to try it for lousy animals, for we new
er had one, but we do not hesitate to
recommend it, and we have lately seen
it's use advised for ticks on sheep,
using a gill of kerosene to one gallon
of milk. We did not make our mixture
so strong Of kerosene as that but per-
haps the larger tick may need strong
er application than an insect so small
as to be scarcely visible to the naked
eve

Swine that are fed on hotel swilI and

a sickness showing much the same
symptoms as those of hog cholera. The
animals suffer from diarrhea and par

the presence of a quantity Of alkaline
