MATTERS


Take up the mating and lay it on
the table, a yard at a time. and scrub
1t with some very good soap, using
rather a stiff brush, then draw
it through water, and finally swill it
with plenty of cold water, adding a
little ammonia; or, if preferred, use
strong salt and water. Bran water is
an excellent thing, too, for this. If
this mating is of really good quality,
the water will not hurt it, as it is,
or should be, impervious to damp.

Late Pruning.

Some authorities claim that better
results are obtained if fruit trees are
pruned in late spring or early summer
than if done when the tree is in the
dormant state. If the necessary
pruning has not yet been done, it is
not too late to do it. Summer pruning
is less likely to be followed by water
sprouts.-Southern Fruit Grower.

IA. More attention should be given
to the cultivation of the cowpea be-
cause it furnishes nitrogen in the
cheapest form to the farmer. and as
two crops can be grown in a single
season, from $50 to $50 worth of hay
can be obtained and fifty to seventy
five pounds of nitrogen added to the
soil by blowing under the aftermath
from the second crop.-Professor An

1T PAYS TO CAPONIZE.

A gain of four pounds per head in
weight and of ten cents per pound
in price is quite worth while when you
remember that it can be done on about
the same amount of feed. It is wise
to caponize every ccckerel not wanted
for breeding. There is very little pain
caused by the operation if done skill
fully and at the right time-less pain
than is often endured by cockerels in
their fights with one another. But the
writer will never forget the cold chills
st caused him to witness the bInglipg
attempts Of ONE of the pupils at a
poultry school. 1t is rank cruelty to
practice such an operation without
first working on dead birds.

To boil Eiah.

Sprinkle the we'll cleaned fish thor
oughly with salt, wrap in a piece of
cheesecloth and boil, preferably in a
fish kettle. The water should be
scalding when the fish goes in. then
let it simmer gently until the fish
flakes. If preferred, the water in
which the fish is cooked may be high
ly seasoned with celery, onion, bay
leaf and parsley, or the fish may be
boiled in a rich bouillon instead
of water; serve with a thick drawn
butter sauce made rich with chopped
hard boiled eggs, pickles and capers.

A New Era of Prosperity

H. E. Epstine who has just returned
from an extended visit to Seattle and
San Francisco says: "San Francisco
has unlimited capital just now. The
people there not only have the money,
but they are investing it in Nevada
stocks. The conditions at Seattle are
also very encouraging to a Nevadan.
The residents there have long handled
copper and wheat and such stocks, but
until lately small trading was done in
Nevada products. Their eyes are new
directed, however, to the richness of
this State and thousands of dollars will
pour in from hal section. Altogether
l believe the State is entering upon a
new era of unprecedented prosperity
and the southern camps are right in the
center of the race"

SUPERSTITIONS

In spite of their superstitions and the
great fear that they were acting in
defiance of the will Of the Great Spirit,
over 200 Indians left on the 9th ult for
the Sacramento valley, where they will
pick hops, says the Reno Gazette. The
Indians did not want to go TO the hop

Wofered them good prices and at last
induced them to overcome their fears
and cross the mountains. The Indians
ave for several years past gone to the
mop fields of California to work, but for
the past few years they have had great
miSfortunes while in the Golden State
and for this reason they feared II

discipline and organization, could have
COPIED alone with such a situation. The
work OF ghouls and 'looters had to be
anticipated and reckoned with. Be-
fore the day of disaster had grown
hardly three hours older plunderers
and despoilers of the dead met sud
den death at the hands of the soldiers.
No questions were asked, no chance
for an explanation were given. sJudg-
ment was grim and summary. 1t was
only by resolute sternness that loss
OF life could be curtailed. People
would rush into the very core of fire in
the impossible attempt to rescue be-
longings. Example is contagious. and
it was necessary to keep fire-mad folk
out OF the area of destruction. It was
not proper or possible to leave it
to their option whether or not to put
their lives in jeopardy. The cashier
of a, bank attempted to enter the tot
tering, smouldering ruins of his insti-
tuition to secure some papers. The
sentinel halted him and forbade him
to pass. He refused to obey, ran by
the sentry, and was shot. 1t seems
cruel, but such incidents restrained
others-perhaps maryland thereby
prevented loss of life. Hence it was
humanity. In short time the panic
stricken learned that martial law was
infieXible, but kind; that the hand of
federal authority was stretched out TO
soothe and relieve, not to smite: that
above all one must halt when the man
with the rifle on his shoulder said

has kindly responded to my reques:
for companion, and alone with Osau-
gees great-granddaughter I pass some
very happy hours deep in the woods.
Perhaps we feel bit lonely when stall
wart Leo drives away and leaves us.
but mayhap the bit of fear gives zest
to the experience. In the long twi-
light of the Lake Superior region we
remain out Of doors, the better to real-
ize the loneliness and think how brave
we are. But when two looms rise
from the water; and high overhead
give voice to the loneliness, I think a
little longingly of the much peopled

hold day's-end chatter; and likewise
give voice to the loneliness. However,

WOOD PIGEONS IN LOVE.

The amorous wood pigeon, whose
usually dignified demeanor is so ia
mfliar to the most ordinary observer
in the London parks, takes but little
notice of the bitter northeasterly
breezes and squalls Of sleet and snow
with which March has so frequently
favored us Of late. For the time be-
ing, says the Pail Mall Gazette, he is
so busily occupied in making advances
to the lady of his choice that outside
influences have no bearing at all on
his general behavior. 49,;
Rain or shine, you may see him just
at present sitting side by side with his
inamorata on the swaying bough Of
elm or plane, whispering soft moth
ings in her ear in those gentle tones
that makes ones fancy fly back to the
great woods of the countryside where
primrose and anemone are pushing
forth their fragile buds from beneath
their wintry covering of fallen leaves
It is too early yet for the wood pigeon
to build his nest, but he and his mate
in the Intervals of love making are
already on the lookout, as you may
see If you watch, for suitable site.

ly seen comes too wildly back to re-
membranes: ''The Sabine Woman"
and the story of the girl alone in the
isolated cabin in Arizona is not such
a one as to soothe to ..slumber
woman alone in an isolated cabin in
Wisconsin. Not till dawn comes in
through chinks in the\ logs does the
coward paleface sink into an exhaust
ed slumber. But the next morning all
fears and WEAKNESS fee away. What
joy the sparkle of the sun on the lake;
hiding behind the bushes near the run
way to watch the deer come down for
their morning drink; to follow the
trails blazed by Leo leading on and
on in the timber. Out with fears and
foolish Sabine Woman" in broad
daylight the coward paleface is bold
as a squaw.
The white winter forest is exquisite,
in summer the pine woods are all
abloom, in the autumn the coloring is
Incompatible, but May days seemed
to be pretty good. Then the wild-hay
meadows, which break the tree spaces
here and there, are green (almos) as
rice fields; in the middle and along
the borders of the woods roads the
brave basque flowers upraise; every
where the fragrance of arbutus, fills
the air. And of course the constant
wintergreens give their note of green
and red. But it is the air that Is best
of all ''unbreathed air, illimitable,
Clean" Such a contrast to poor, dust
swept, smoke-choked Chicago; which
unhappy town Gene Field doubtless
had in mind when he said:
IF 'tweren't for sight and sound and
smell,
I'd like city pretty WE'LL"
But fortunately the townsman can
quickly whirl away from town sight
and sound and smell to seek re-
creation in the re-creating woods; and
every time Y take the train for Scion
Springs I find fellow travellers bent
on this quest. Trout fishing was OIL

about one saw reminder of hopeful
fishermen. 1 came upon one that
seemed to be fishing where there was
