The Razorback Hog.

The New York Times says that if the
naval and military review is taken from the
jamestown Exposition there will be moth
ing left but the razorback hog to show.
LAS between an exhibition of troops and
warships and an exhibition of the razor
back pigs of Virginia, the common man,
who pays his common money, would not
hesitate to pay it for the former. " And
yet it might be well for the New Workers
to learn of the virtues of the razor-back
pig, for at every swell entertainment in the
city of New York the meat of the razor
back occupies the place of honor. Go to
fancy grocery in this or other Northern
cities and price the Virginia hams of the
Smithfeld brand and you will find them
now selling at 40 cents pound. When
did the hams of the West, made from the
lard hog, ever bring such price? The
gamey flavor of the Smithfeld ham can
only be secured by using the pig that has
roamed the forest and eaten mast and
then has cleaned the peanut fields and
been finished on corn. His hams, prop
erly cured and smoked with real smoke,
and not the painted creosote of the pack
ers, make a dish that tempts the
epicure and takes the highest rank in the
markets of all the large cities. The razor
back, like the Tamworth, is well worthy
the attention of those who seek the best
bacon, rather than lard. He is not a
beauty and he does not mature early, and
hence must bring good price to pay.
But when he finally comes on the market
he is king of the whole bacon supply.

Eggs For Hatching.

Investigation shows that most Of the
complaints of unfair treatment by sellers
of eggs for Matching are due to ignorance
of what good sitting of eggs is. Prof.
C. X. Graham, of the Storrs experiment
station, Connecticut, discusses this matter
in helpful bulletin and says the ship
per may be expected to give fair-sized
smooth eggs from healthy birds in return
for the money he receives always with the
order. Rough, thin-shelled, dirty and
mottled eggs should be excluded, and
while it is possible that small eggs may be
as fertile and produce as many chicks as
larger eggs, still it is probable that pullets
Matched from such will have a ten
dency to lay small eggs. For this reason,
if for no other, shippers should avoid send
ing out small eggs, since these are likely
to injure the reputation of the breed in the
locality where sent.
1t is advisable to buy eggs under five
days old at the time of shipping. Each
egg should be carefully dated when taken
from the nest to guard against error on
this point While good matches have been
secured from eggs three weeks old, when
placed in the incubator, as a rule, a good
hatch cannot be expected to come out after
they are ten day old. Too much care can
not be taken in packing. Since boxes
sent by express are likely to be thrown and
baskets carried, the latter should be pre-
ferred. An ordinary basket with plenty
of excelsior in the bottom and the side,
we'll cushioned, makes an excellent recep-
tacle. In this the eggs, each carefully
wrapped, should be packed and over them
plenty of padding placed. Cheesecloth or
cotton tackled over the top forms a salts
factory cover. Such package conspicu-
ously labeled Eggs for Hatching,'' can
be shipped any distance and will reach its
destination in good condition. Upon re-
ceipt of the package the eggs should not
be removed until the hen or the incubator
is ready to receive them; but the basket
should be turned over daily.

Keeping Pork Fresh.

When time for pig dressing arrives it is
general custom to cut up the meat and
place it on boards in some cold room on the
place. If ''soft weather comes there is
apt to be an odor of tainted meat sooner or
later. 1t may be slight, but there is apt
to be loss The meat should be attended
to promptly, as soon as it has become cold.
First, lay aside such pieces as are intended
for immediate use. Next take the roasting
pieces to be carried over the season and cook
daintily, as fast as the oven can be used.
Do not drag the work from day to day.
Be careful not to overlook. Baste care
fully and often throughout the cooking.
These pieces should be lifted to platters
and plates, and a thickened gravy made
each time of what remains in the roasting
pans. When meat is cold these platters
and plates should be taken to a room on
the coldest side of the house, no matter if
meat freezes there. An upper room is
preferable, as being free from dampness.
Here the meats should stand on table or
on boards resting on barrels, over which
is spread clean, white cloth and another
such cloth spread over all.
Do not break the crust of fat on the
bowls of gravy, and it will keep for a very
long time, as fine as though just made. 1t
is well to look over the roasts occasionally,
and if need be reheat in the oven by giving
sharp heat clear through and basting as
before. Thus heated up or served cold,
the meat is equally good.
The frying pieces should be fried, cut
in little strips and run through the chopper
and well seasoned with salt, pepper and
sage, and after mixing with it quantity
of hot fat or hot melted butter, press into
bowls and when cold put bowls away with
the other meats. This is handy dish for
breakfast or supper, served cold Or heated,
and bowl of the gravy heated and turned
over it. The liver that is not saved for
immediate use may be first fried, then
ground up in the chopper, seasoned with
pepper and salt and smoothly mixed with
hot melted butter and packed in bowls.
Put away with the other meats when cold.
1t is nice dish for supper, makes fine
paste to spread on bread and is good either
cold or heated. 1t is so very good that
there is little danger of any going to waste,
but it might need reheating if there is
large quantity. Meats thus prepared,
ready for use, will prove very handy, be-
sides being saving as regards worry.

How He Lost It.

A party of Kentuckians, including Sen
ator Lindsay and a number of the House,
were passengers on an eastbound train last
fall, on their way to attend the opening of
Congress.
Before the party retired for the night,
the Senator had permitted them to partake
of the contents of flask, which he re-
turned with religious care to the depth of his
dress suit case.
In the morning, as the train was wend-
ing its way through the Allegheny Noun
tains, member of the party who had
risen early, perceived the Senator pacing
up and down the aisle, an expression OF
disgust and dismay upon his genial counte,
nance.
"What's the matter, Lindsay p asked
the other.
"Matter enough was the reply, "why,
I've lost the better part of my baggage. y
ssLost or stolen?'

Mango In Cattle.

Mango in cattle is contagious skin
disease caused by parasites. Three forms
of mango occur in cattle, viz, sarcoptes,
psorosperm and symbrotic. These forms
are named after the variety of parasites
which is the causal agent. Sarcoptes
mango in cattle is uncommon, the other
two being the most prevalent forms, and
these frequently exist together in the same
animal. Cows are the most often attacked.
Symptoms-The most common sites of
mango are the roots of the tail and the
neck, especially the former. The psorop-
tic form may spread all over the body if
treatment is neglected, but this is unusual
The biting of the parasite gives rise to an
itchy condition OF the skin, which causes
the animal to rub itself against fixed OBJ
jects, with the result that the hair over
the affected parts gets rubbed off. On
examining the skin a considerable amount of
scurf may be seen, red and yellow blood
scabs appear on the surface, and there
may be even abrasions if the animal has
been rubbing against rough objects IF
the psoroptic form should spread over the
body, the patient may waste away and
become greatly reduced in condition.
In cases of this kind, however, it will
often be found that the wasting is due to
some serious internal trouble such as tuber-
culosis, which reduces the animal natural
power of resistance to the less serious dis
ease.
1t has not infrequently been observed that
COWS appear to become cured spontaneously
when turned out to grass in the spring.
This usually means, however, that under
open air conditions the parasites do not
increase at the same rate, hence the active
symptoms are merely less marked. In
the fall, when the animals are again sta
bled, the parasites which have persisted
resume their activity, and this may lead to
the erroneous belief that reinfection has
taken place.
Prevention-The affected parts on the
animal skin should be softened by wash
ing with soap and warm water. After
this has been done the parts should be
dressed with one of the common mango
dressings, such as spirit of tar oil and sui
phur. The dressings should be applied
twice or even three times at intervals of
10 days. For the serious and rebellious
cases above mentioned veterinary advice
should be sought. The litter from an in
fected animal should be removed each time
after dressing, and the flooring and wood
or other fittings should be well sprayed with
per cent solution of carbolic acid in
water

A Ghost That Locks the Doors.

Members of the local psychology club have
been investigating haunted house up il
Saunders county, 16 miles north of this
city, and have concluded that it is senu
inc case of disembodied spirit returning
to earth, says a Lincoln (Neb. } dispatcl
to the New York Sun.
The house is located on farm abou
four miles from Valparaiso 1t is owned
and until recently was occupied by a famil.
named Van SAINT. Mrs. Van SAINT was /
schoolteacher for years and says she ism
superstitious.
The farm belonged years ago to maj
reputed to be a miser One night he wa
murdered by robbers.
For five years after the Van SAINTS moved
in no sign ofspooks appeared. Then things
happened Stories reached Lincoln anc
the club interested in psychical research
sent committee headed by Mrs. L. w.
Billingsley, wife of a lawyer, to investigate.
Meanwhile the Van SAINTS moved out.
:sWe talked with Mrs Van SAINT and hel
neighbors, says Mrs. Billinssley, ''and
we have no hestaDcy in pronouncing it a
case worthy of being reported and placed in
the records of the Society for Psychical Re-
search.
THE first manifestation occurred one
summer evening when the two Van SAINT
girls came home from church. They had
driven, each with male escort, to Valpa-
| raIso.
when the younger daughter reached
home she found her parents had retired and
the screen door locked When her mother
responded she expressed surprise that the
door was locked. She distinctly remember
ed leaving it unlocked.
'sShe requested the girl to leave it un-
locked for the older sister. She did So but
when the latter returned half an hour later
she found the door securely fastened The
screens were fastened with the ordinary
hook and eve which cannot be locked save by
design
After that as many times as the doors
were left unlocked they would be found
locked, and when left open they would close.
Etfors were made to prop them open, but
the doors would calmly close, pushing aside
the obstacle.
"One large inner door was found locked
so frequently that it had to be removed en-
tirely to prevent annoyance. Finally the
family ceased to try to prevent the mystic
power from being exercised upon the doors.
'Next strange lights played about the
house at night. At times the whole house
would be flooded with light, the source of
which could not be traced.
Next what seemed to be ghost would
come to the place on horseback. He could
be distinctly seen to put up the horse at the
barn, walk heavily toward the house, enter
and begin the work of undressing.
"He would breathe heavily as though
completely tired out, he would walk about
yawning and making other noises. Except
on two or three occasions the form or out
line of man was never seen.
"When seen at all it was dim, white,
shadowy form which would shortly vanish
upward. Visitors from distance observed
similar phenomena. One dark night horses
feet and carriage wheels distinctly sounded
in the lane, and on other occasions phantom
carriages filled with dim figures were seen.
"These phenomena were so well authen-
ticated that there can be no classification
of them as old women tales. y

Making Cream Cheese on the Farm

A splendid way to use milk is to make
cheese for home use. The whey is just
as good for calves and pigs. feel sure
if farmers generally knew how easily and
inexpensively cheese can be made, many
more families would enjoy this highly nu-
tritious food. To make three pound
cheese that is good after four weeks, and
better with age, take five gallons of milk,
cream and all, if it has set for time, and
heat till about milk warm. Dissolve one
half of a No. 2 rennet tablet in half tea
cupful of cold water, stir well into the milk
and add one tablespoonful of salt to the
milk; then stir. Remove from the fire
and let stand three to seven minutes, when
it will be thick, like clabber. AS soon as
it becomes solid clabber it is ready to break
up. Then with the hands, spoon or other
article stir the clabber, or curd, as it is
now called. This separates the curd from
the whey. Let it stand and the curd will
settle to the bottom. Then with the hand
press the pieces, say one inch thick. Put
into a crock, pour over it hot not boiling)
water. STIR with spoon, and let 1t set
till it seem tough like leather, which will
be in about three minutes. Take out of
the water and again cut in pieces, as it has
probably run together. Salt as for butter
and it is ready to press.
For the press, take a gallon apple or
syrup can and melt off both ends Now
make ends for the can from inch hoardS
to just fit inside the can; these are followers.
Set the can over one follower and line the
can with well creased cloth long enough
to fold over the top. Pour in the curd,
put on the cloth left to fold over, then put
in the other follower Set where in can
drain and place Is pound weight on top.
Leave "a hours, then remove from the
press. Take off the cloth and grease the
cheese box. Lay on place in a screened
box. Grease and turn it every day till it
is ready to use.

She Had Not The Nerve To Kill Him.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 26.-Gen.
Sandetsky, commander of the Grenadier
Corps, was seated in his study on Thurs
day, when young woman called and ex-
pressed desire to speak to him on i'm
portant business. The General ordered
his servant to show her in, and asked her
to be seated near his armchair. She sat
down hesitatingly and concentrated her
attention on her muff, putting now. one
hand and then the other into it, She
seemed to be extremely embarrassed and
could not begin the conversation. ..
At last the General relieved her of the
muff and placed it on chair, but the
young woman became still more ID at ease.
Finally, busting into tears, she avowed
herself to be member of the Revolution
ary Society, the committee of which had
sent her to put him to death, but she
lacked the necessary courage. She asked

letters, and he replied in the affirmative.
Then the would-be assassin and her vic

of the fifteenth century, had black slave
