Letter to A. n. Shambach,
MIpDLsBURGH, PA,

Dear Sir: You bLy your horseshoes
and nails; your grandfather, If he was
a blacksmith, made 'em. You can't
afford to hammer them out by hand,
when you can buy as good, or better
perhaps, readymade to your hand, for
little more than the cost of the iron.
What do you think ofa painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that is
far better-done than he can do it, done
by machinery, done as your horseshoes
and nails are made.
Mistake isn'tit
He is wasting his chance i'm the
world. There is no better stuff to do
business with than good horseshocs
and paint; and no better work than
putting them on. Good horseshoes well
put on It's the putting 'em on that
makes you a blacksmith: no matter who
makes 'em. Who wants to go back to
old times, and make his own horse
shoes ?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to make good paint-he u.s.
ed to; but paint has run away from
him. Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE & Co.

the most remarkable month In the

had none. This had not occurred since

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Care of sheen In Winter.

If sheep are less exacting than the
cows in their demands upon the time
and attention of the farmer, they
should not be neglected, says Ameri-
can Cultivator Good food and plenty
of it, every day is needed, and if they
are, as they should be- turned out ev-
cry pleasant day for exercise and fresh
air do not expect them to get living
from the frostbitten grass that they
may find, as a little of it will not hurt
them and may do them some good, but
it cannot be very nourishing food. A
few oats, little bran and, if their
roughage is of inferior quality, little
cornmeal every day will do them good,
helping them to bring better lambs and
grow more wool. Plenty of water
where they can go to it as they please
should be at hand, for when on dry
feed they like to drink little and often,
and they want 1t always clean. A
sheep will go long without water rath-
er than drink that which is not clean.
Give them bedding enough to keep
their sheds dry and clean and plenty
of pure air Cold does not hurt them
when they have on their winter coats,
but keep them dry, with the fleece free
from rain or snow.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-01-10

The good farmer is supposed to clean
and house all farm implements as soon
as he has finished using them each day,
but many do not do this, says Ameri-
can Cultivator. They should devote at
least one day to the work of collecting
them, rubbing the dust off, oiling the
ironwork and putting in good order for
another years work. When well hous-
ed, it will pay to go over the woodwork
with n coat of paint. Do this before
the snow comes, and when the tools
are wanted for use next spring and
they are found all ready and in good
condition this will prove one of the
best days work done in the year, as it
will save several days time and bother
with them in the busy season, save
strength of men and teams and prevent
many of the accidents that unlucky
men are so apt to have in breaking
down just when most in hurry.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-01-10

An animal impoverished in flesh can
not grow or mature and must be main
tained at loss of feed.
Winter is a good time to clean up the
farm, clear out the fence rows and
make the farm neater and cleaner.
Many Improvements can be planned
and partially executed during the win
ter if advantage is taken of the oppor-
tunities.
Most crops exhaust the soil in proper
ton TO their value.
Small farms well titled are what

Never use anything in making can
dy but the best grade of sugar says
American Agriculturist. Boil granu-
lated sugar to Il thick srup and when
DONE so that it breaks like pipcstem
when dropped in water, take it off and
as it begins to harden stir it until so
thick it will just pour and then pour
into pans or dishes, so that it hardens
in cakes about an inch thick. a diff
ferent candy can be made if you can
get good extracted honey, but it must
be of the best quality. Heat the honey
until it is thin, but don't boil it, and
then stir In all the pulveriZed sugar it
will take up. Then knead it with the
hands and work in more sugar until it
becomes stiff dough.

1t is strange how little many cooks
appear to think of such joints as the
flank steak, the back ribs or the rump.
Granted that the two last are not so
delicate, perhaps, as the sirloin and that
the amount of bone in the back ribs is
greater than in the more esteemed
joint, still the price is proportonately
lower, and after all bone is not waste.
AS regards the flavor and tenderness,
the inferior joint Of first rate beast
is fully equal to the superior cut of a
second or possibly third class animal,
especially if properly treated. The
round, for instance, if kept well basted,
is capital roasted and is delicious stew

Sipbon MIX skim mer.

1t is often desirable to draw off the
milk from a bottle after the cream has
formed without pouring off the cream
and for this purpose the siphon skim
mer here shown will be found con-
venlent. Without an arrangement of
this kind 1t is next to impossible to
separate the milk and cream with any
degree of accuracy, portion of the
one nearly always remaining with the
other. Charles A. Mead of Newark n.
j.. the inventor of this siphon, states
that it can be adjusted so as TO draw
off all the milk without disturbing the
cream, or 1t can be made to mix the
two in any desired proportion. The
variation Is obtained by lengthening
or shortening the outer leg of the
siphon, The graduations correspond

A salad tnat will be of use to the
harassed mistress whose hands are al
ways so full just before the serving of
meal is the following, because it may
be prepared several hours before need
ed:
Slice boiled potatoes thin; add few
sliced truilles that you have cooked in
little wine, and two red herrings,
boned and haked. The mayonnaise
that accompanies this salad must have
little mustard in it, and the whole
should be mixed at least four or five
hours before serving.
