A TOnl In Il Hole.

If you poke about the corners Of q
garden you will soon understand, says
the Garden. how the stories Of toadS
imprisoned in q solid rock arise. You
hardly ever find toad in its chosen
retreat without wondering how it man,
aged to get in and how it proposes to
get out again, and our ancestors en-
shrined this batrachian habit in the
phrase toad in Il hole" as the name of
a dish in which piece Of meat is
baked inside batter, with no visible
means of entrance or exit. This pecul-
lar faculty of the toad for burying him
self without leaving a trace behind is
due to his trick of burrowing back
ward, as a crab does, his strong hind
legs shoveling the earth forward until
he is covered.

DECEIVED HIS LOOKS
Alleged Central Station Man
Was Well HeeIed.

A dispatch In Sundays Enquirer
from Lebanon, Ky said:
Blind In one eye, ragged and
hungry and distressed, a man OF
about S. years hobbled into Ray
wick late Monday afternoon and
applied for a lodging place. E. A.
Edelen a distiller, who lives near
Raywick, took him In. After
giving the tramp lunch he took
him to vacant room In building
a short distance from his residence,
where comfortable bed was pro-
vided. Under his arm the tramp
carried bundle, which to all ap-
pear ances was nothing more than
a greasy FELLOWSHIP filled with a few
necessa ries. Just before retiring
the man threw his bundle on a
chair. Bidding the tramp good
night, Mr.. Edelen extinguished the
light, and suspecting his guest OF
being professional tramp" yield
ed to an impulse to investigate the
contents of the bundle. Carrying
the greasy bag downstairs he made
an examination, and to his surprise
found that the tramp was a man
who possibly owned thousands OF
dollars.
Besides re lis of paper money and
a good sized bag of gold, there were
receipts sor recording deeds, bear.
Ing the signature of the Clerk of
Tyler county, Virginia, showing
that J. H. Shinn owned hundreds
of acres In that section. There
were, also. papers showing that
the same party held many shares o.
stock In oil wells, clippings from
newspaper commenting on the In
dustries and wealth of J. II. Shinn,
and a small day book In which was
kept the record of each days busi-
ness. From thi record 1t was
shown that the man collected daily
from s. cents to 81. A dairy In
the FELLOWSHIP showed that he tour
ed at stated periods Kentucky and
Tennessee, and had been following
the business for almost IS years.
His home, 1t appeared, was Cen
trail Station. Doddridge county,
West Virginia. He told Mr.. Eide
len his name was J. H. Shiun and
the papers In his FELLOWSHIP con-
tanned that name many times.
The newspaper clippings referred
to J. II, Shinn as an oil magnate
who lost an eye In 1889 He Is

We need guidance to know when to
speak, when to smile, when to frown.
when to direct. when to enter upon
public or private enterprises, to whom
to trust our hand, our heart our prop
erty, to know what to believe where
there is conflict or doubt. But there is
a power than can decide in all these
cases. The impulse that so often guides
in the common affairs of life is like
the higher impulse that comes direct
from God. The more we have of his
spirit the more habitual becomes this
instructive guidance. This will enable
us to decide between right and wrong.

CURING OF CHEESE.

In the curing Of cheese certain requi-
sites are indispensable in order to OBJ
tain the best results. Free exposure to
air is one requisite for the development
of flavor. Curd sealed up in an air.
tight vessel, and kept at the proper
temperature, readily breaks down into
a soft, rich ripe cheese, but It has none
of the flavor so much esteemed In a
good cheese. Exposure to the oxygen
Of the air develops flavor. The cheese
during the process Of curing takes its
oxygen and gives Off cnrbonic acid gas.
The development of flavor can be hast.
ened by subjectlng the cheese to n
strong current of air. The flavor is de-
veloped by the process of oxidation.
If the cheese is kept in too close air
during the process of curing it will be
likely to be deficient in flavor.

CARE OE TILE SOW.

When the sow is shut up her feed

allowed to run and the pigs are shut
up she is apt to keep up her full milk
supply, and the pigs not having access
to her, her udder is liable to become
caked and injured. If the sow is shut
in and an opening left so that the little
fellows can have access to her no
trouble this way can occur. Having
their liberty they will hunt food for
themselves, and soon be independent

FIGURE OF supDAH FOUND.
Japanese Sacred Cut Washed Ashore
on New Jersey Coast.

The sea cast up a strange creature
at the feet of Government Life Guard
]. Monroe Ludlam as he was patrolling
the beach near the foot OF Thirtieth
street, Ocean City, N. j.. recently. The
object was a carved piece of cherry
wood, 4x2 and 1k inches thick. The
figure represented Is one OF the many
forms of Buddah. The figure rests
upon the petals of lotus flower upon
a pedestal that is reproduction of
the palace of Neptune. The entire
figure is most delicately carved, and
the many jewels with which the figure
is decorated are brought out with great
precision, although 1t has been batter
ed by the waves and badly eaten in
some places by marine worms. A. M.
kashina, a Japanese, declares II to be
one of the cuts used in the Japanese
temples, where the prints are struck
off and distributed to the pilgrims who
come there to worship. They are
considered sacred and are never sold.
This one has doubtless been stolen
by curio agents and shipped on board
a vessel which was wrecked. It bears
the marks Of having lain in the water
for years.

RELIEVING PUTTING HORSE.

Most farmers are familiar with the
horse who puffs and wheezes at Its
work. The disease is technically known
as roaring" and It is said to be similar
to asthma in humans. There is really
no cure for 1t. but the trouble may be
greatly allevlated by treatment and
especially by proper feeding. If the
disease is not so deeply seated that the
animal cannot do farm work, then the
work given 1t should be light, and the
feed should consist of little hay, and
this wet each time. Feed mainly on
grains. Take one drachm iodide pot.
assium and mix one-half drachm nuy
vomica. Give this dose twice day
for two or three weeks during each
bad attack and during the period let
the work of the horse be that which
does not require much speed. The
care and treatment indicated will re.
lieve the animal greatly, although 1t is
doubtful II it will ever amount to much
for steady work.-Indlanapolis News.

Arsenic From Gold Ores.

When the statement is made that
during last year Canada produced 725
tons of arsenic one is apt to wonder
where 1t all comes from. A mining
Journal is authority for the statement
that 1t was all extracted from gold
ores with the bromocyanogen process.
After the concentrates have been freed
Of all of their good contents, the re-
naming matter is passed through a
cylindrical washer. and the arsenical
fumes are condensed in suitable
chambers. After passing through a
refiping process and being again con-
densed and collected in a second set OF
chambers, the resulting product is
stated to be over SO per cent Of arsenic

Grnining Cows in Summer.

While in many sections grain feeding
must be done this summer, the ordi-
nary practice is not to feed grain to
cows that are on pasture. This is ac-
knowledge to be n mistake by those
who have tried both methods. provided
their cows were grade or thorough
breds. In some sections the belief in
grain has been carried to the extent
that the cows are barn fed the year
through. That this results in good
milk flow can not be denied, but there
is some question as to the advisability
Of depriving cows of grass entirely.
On the other hand, there can be no
question about the value of graining to
a moderate extent in connection with
pasturing. To commence with. the
supply Of grain should be small, say
pint a day, increasing the quantity as
the value of the grass decreases. The
expense of this plan is certainly small
compared with the results, and during
this month and August is good time
to test it.-Indianapolis News.

THE SMALL HEN YARD,

There are many who keep hens in
yards all the year, having no grass runs
for them. There is one particular work
to perform in the summer that is often
neglected, but which is very essential,
and that is keeping the yards clean.
When flock has only small yard
there is more filth from droppings
than is discernible. as n portion is de-
cnyed, others undergoing decomposi-
tion. while fresh droppings are added
daily. scraping the yard with hoe
is excellent, as the droppings can thus
be utilized in the garden, but the yards
should be dug up occasionally, so as
to afford clean surface as well as to
turn the filth under.

Among the peoples Of the world the

Tho Value of a Dairy Cow.

When a dairyman goes into the mar
ket to purchase cow he generally
finds certain valuations placed on the
different ones, governed more or less
by the past records, but to large eX-
tent he will be disappointed in his pur-
chases unless he has somewhat inti-
mate knowledge Of the nature of dairy
cows. A good many cows are worth
more than their record. They may
have possibilities which are only slight
ly apparent, but which under proper
treatment might be easily developed.
A cows record for producing milk and
cream must always be considered In
connection with her feeding. Cows
that have good records have been
known to be such heavy feeders that
there was no profit in keeping them.
Another animal with probably a SINH
lar good record for yield will be a
comparatively small feeder. Whatever
she eats seems to go into milk or but
ter fat. A record of milk yield without
a record of daily feeding Is of little
value to any one. The two questions
cannot ne Sepuruleu.
Another point that must be consid-
cred is the season of the year when the
yields of butter, cream and milk have
been made. a dairy cow that will
make large yields in the summer, and
comparatively nothing in the fall and
winter, is far less valuable than an
other who keeps up pretty steady
yield the year round. We must remem.
Der that it is winter dairying that pays
best, and the cows that have TO be win.
tered without returning much for tho
food and care are not profitable invest
ments. One pound of rich cream Oh
butter fats in the winter is worth al
most two in summer. Cows with good
yearly records are known to produce
heavily in the spring and summer, but
as winter comes OH they dry up and
produce very little for five or six
months. Such a cow Is far less valu
able than another whose spring and
summer records are not phenomenal
but which keeps up pretty fair aver
age right thro gh the winter. 10 test
the actual vGiue of a dairy cow one
must consider carefully these two ques
tions of yield in proportion to the
amount of food given, and the winter
average of the milk and cream. YOU
cannot tell what any cow Is worth un
til some sort of answers can be OBJ
tained to these questions.-D. p. Smith

FEEDING MEAT TO FOWLS.

Many poultrymen who believe In
feeding meat to laying hens during the
winter stop the practice during the
summer. In some cases this plan is
not Objectionable, but often the hens
do not get the necessary quantity OF
insects from the range to give them
the animal food required. 1t is easy to
ascertain this by offering the hens ani.
NAL food. If they eat it greedily one
may be sure they are not finding the
necessary number of insects on the
range. If one can obtain fresh meat
in small quantities 1t is not objections,

feeding 1t, while the animal meal sold
