The principal thing in successful
tanning is to remove all grease and
flesh from the hide. and to rub we'll
while drying, as this is the only way
to make the pelts soft, says Animal
World. This cleaning process is called
''feShing," after which the skin should
be washed in strong suds to remove all
grease from the fur, after which they
should be we'll rubbed in hardwood
sawdust, which takes out all remain
ing grease. After tanning, dry in the
shade, and without the heat OF fire or
sun. To whip them with a rattan
after thoroughly drying brings out ad-
ditional life and gloss to the fur. 1t
pays to take the greatest possible
pains as f1rst-class skins are not only
in demand, but bring sufficiently high
er price to pay for the labor.
All hides must be tleshed off. and
If dry must soak in soft water until
perfectly soft before tanning.
Fleshing beam can be made from
an outside slab from any log, with
two legs on one end, SO 1t will set up
the right height. The feshing knife
can be made of an old piece Of scythe,
or a straight knife, with edge turned
little, and a handle at each end. After
tieshing well, place the skins in the
process given below and let them soak
two hours; then pull them each way
a few minutes, and let them hang over
the tub and drain for two hours, and
repeat until tanned, which Will be
about twenty-four hours for small
hides When tanned wash them in
warm soft water with Il little salaratus
and soft soap; then pull and rub them
well while drying, to keep them soft.
The tanning liquor is made by add
ing to two quarts sour buttermllk
two quarts tepid soft water; add
twelve OF. salt, half OF. boraZ, one OF.
saltpetre; then sfowly add, with aSlta-
ton, four OF. sulphuric acid, and see
that the chemicals are thoroughly dis
solved.
add, with agitation, four or sulphuric
acid, and see that the chemicals are
thoroughly dissolved.
Sulphuric acid is a dangerous pois-
on, and we advise purchasing the exact
quantity wanted, so that the acid may
not be kept standing about. This is a
sure way TO prevent any mistake or
accident.
Another liquor may be made by
adding to two quarts sharp vinegar
ten ounces alum, well pulverized, one
ten ounces salt.
1t takes little more time for the
last process, but it is equally good;
both mixed together make a very
strong tan.

The Cooking of Cereals.

Oatmeal is a time honored break
dish on American tables, but the old
style of preparation, requiring several
hours of cooking, is fast becoming a
thing of the past, and probably to the
detriment of the people. Partially pre-
pared or so-calIed breakfast foods are
now taking the place of boiled oats or
the original oatmeal" They consist
of the partially baked or softened ce-
reals prepared in different ways, or
sometimes eaten practically whole, as
in the case of cracked wheat. Nearly
all the cereals are represented in these
partially prepared or breakfast foods.
Oats probably occupies the first rank,
and oatmeal in some form of prepara-
tion is almost constant article OF
diet on the breakfast table. Wheat and
maize are not far behind, and these
products are also used to very large
extent as breakfast diets. Many of
them have been subjected to high
temperature by which the starch
grains are softened and formed into q
kind of paste. The hulls and skins
are removed from other cereals, so that
the product does not represent the
whole grain, but only a portion there
of. In some cases, as in the manufac-
ture of cerealine, the germ is also re-
moved. as we'll as a portion or all OF
the outer envelopes of the grain. One
object in this manufacture appears to
be the preparation of a food which
can be made ready for the table in
few moments. There is no question,
however, that too little time is con
sumed in the final cooking of these
breakfast foods, and instead of using
onls' a few moments in their prepara-
ton, their wholesomeness, palata bility,
and digestibility would be greatly i'm
proved by subjecting them for long
er time to the temperature of boiling
water in the process of final prepara-
! ton

seysn-Year Comparison of wheats.

About sixty differently named sorts
of wheat are annually grown IN COM
parative test at the Ohio Experiment
Station. In this test the different va
ieties are grown on plots of one-tenth
acre, the plots being arranged so that
a standard variety, Penquite's Velvet
Chaff, appears on every third plot in
the series, and in computing the results
the yield of a given variety is COM
pared with that of the two plots OF
Velvet Chaff between which it grew.
The treatment of the crop is as near
sible. The land was selected in the
first place for its apparent uniformity;
a tile drain is laid at one side of every
plot; the plowing is done across the
plots; all are manured alike with barn
yard manure, distributed b: a manure
spreader, which also is driven across
the plots, thus giving no opportunity
for differences in time of pIowing or
manner of manuring to effect the yield
and the greatest possible care is taken
in seeding, harvesting and threshing.
Below are the general results of this
test for the seven years, 1893 to 1899,
inclusive.
The following sorts have exceeded
the Velvet Chaff in yield: Poole and
Mealy by an average OF more than
four bushels per acre each; Red Rus
sian by nearly four bushels; Niger,
Early Ripe. Currells Prolific Gypsy
and Egyptian by two to three bushels;
Mediterranean, New Monarch and
Democrat by one to two bushels. and
Bearded Monarch Valley, DeitZ Leb-
anon and Hickman by less than one
| bushe1 each.
| Of the sorts which have fallen be-
| low Velvet Chaff in average yield are
| Jones Winter Fife which Has aver
| aged more than three bushels less;
| Thesis and Silver Chaff, between two
! and three bushels less; Royal Aus
tralian (or Clawson) Early Red Claw
| son, Yellow Gypsy, Missouri Blue
| Stem, New Longberry, Lehigh and
Martins Amber between one and two
| bushels less, and Fulcaster, Hindos-
tan and Early White Leader, whose
average yield has been less than a
bushel below that of Velvet Chaff
These tests have been made on a
rather thin, somewhat sandy clay. On
gravelly loans the Valley has made a
| relatively larger yield than that
quoted above. No variety has proved
exempt from attack by the Hessian
fly, but Mealy, Mediterranean, Fulcas-
ter and Clawson seem to suffer less
from the fall attack of this insect than
most other sorts. The Ohio Station
has never succeeded in growing spring
wheat

This is the query propounded by
Prof. Baker in his bulletin on the
construction and care of earth roads.
He answers it inferentially in the af-
frmatfve by saying: All improve
ments and advances in civilization
cost. Will the suggested improve
ments in construction and mainte-
nance pay? They will make better
roads. which will decrease somewhat
the cost of travel; but the saving in
cost of transportation and miscellane-
Gus travel will probably not be equal
to the increased cost of securing the
better roads. To live in a good house
costs more than to live in a poor one
Good roads are desirable for the same
reason that a man buys a carriage or
builds fine nOuse, /. e.. because they
are comfort and a pleasure. Whether
good roads will pay" or not, depends
upon the relative estimate put upon
money and labor on the one side and
comfort and convenience of travel on
the other. The man who prefers to
ride in lumber wagon because it is
cheaper than a carriage, will prefer to
ride in the mud instead of spending
money or labor in improving the
roads. 1t is certain that comfort and
ease of travel add to the knowledge
and intelligence of the citizen, and
thus indirectly, but none the less GER
tainly, add to his ability to get on in
the world. A reasonable expenditure
for good roads is always a good in
vestment-fnancially socially and
educationally-for the community.

A Wonderful Boy.

Left deaf, dumb and blind in his in
fancy, young Orris Benson of New
York promises to be rival OF Laura
Bridgman and Helen KelIar. At the
State Institution for the Instruction OF
Deaf Mutes he is regarded as a prodf-
gy because of the development of that
strange faculty called the sixth
sense" and because of the fact that he
can answer questions orally.
The boy is the son OF a country car
penter of Grahamvilie, n. Y. Disease
left the babe deaf, dumb and blind.
The child grew up in this condition,
having no instruction until he was
New York institution.
Training at this school has made
him a master OF the manual language,
the boy reading it by the sense OF
touch only. By a purely mechanical
process he has been taught to utter
many words and sentences, especially
those in answer to questions, and,
stranger than this, recent experiments
have shown that he may be made to
hear spoken words.
But all of this is secondary to the
boys wonderful sense OF touch. In
hfty minutes after he was shown the
arrangement OF typewriter he could
Write intelliGiDly on it and now he
is an expert He uses the machine for
all written work IN school, and IL
his letters to home and friends he
shows originality aud imagination

ment at Riverside winch wouId be

At IA years OF age he made water
wheel, connecting II with the hgure OF
a dancer, SO that when the water was
turned on the paddles the figure be-
came an active toy, almost liIelike in
its gyrations.
At the institute young Benson. who
Is now IS years old, is taking the
usual studies-history, geography,
language and arithmetic. ,fne speed
and accuracy of his work in mental
arithmetic are surprising. In geOs-
raphy he puts together sectional map
of the United States, and with a rapid
touch he can identity any one of the
states, if handed to MIN. On relief
map his fingers locate cities, rivers and
the several mountain ranges, with all
of which he - familiar. He took a
great interest in the Spanish war, and
through the aid of his boy friends who
can read the papers he kept we'll
posted in all it's principal events.
During those days he passed much OF
his time whiting out with his PEN
schooners and other boats.

who caused the men to be ashore. The
local quarantine officials have no au-
thority to keep any body from going on
the boat. That is authority which rests
with the people Of the transport. The
only matter at issue really was whether
the officers of the transport would per-
