Saginaw, Mich. Jan. s. - Smiths
Crossing five miles beyond Freeland,
this county, is in d turmoil Of excite
ment over an epidemic Of hydrophobia.
Eight weeks ago a mad dog came down
the river road from the direction of
Midland biting everything in its path.
It was finally dispatched by a farm
CT, whom it attacked, after a fierce
BATTLE. SO vicious was the dog that
tho farmers horses would not pass it
in the road trembling in their tracks.
He beat it off and later with neigh

went rearing and plunging about the

We owe to ourselves to consider In
time how our crops are to be harvested.
A little time given to considering the
matter now will enable us to be fully
ready for grain and grass cutting. We
should have all our machines In the
best trim, so we can go to work In dead
earnest. Getting ready for harvest Is
the most important thing aside from
seeding. We cannot afford to have
things go wrong. Delays on account
of breakage are expensive and exasper-
ating. Machines that will not work
right because of faulty manufacture
are still more exasperating. 1t Is mon
ey in the pocket of the farmers to buy
the best machines that can be had and
particularly is this true with machines
that concern the hay and grain har-
vest.

Men are builders. They have built
great bridges to span great streams
great ships to plow the trackless ocean
and majestic engines to run to and fro
over all the land. They have built
great cities, with vast commercial in
stitutiohs, colleges, churches and mu-
seums. There are a great many things
but the greatest thing that man can
be engaged in. is to build up the
Christian religion. Jesus Christ
founded it, and he desires all his fol-
lowers TO diligently and carefully assist
in building up the cause Of Christianity.
Every member of the Christian church
should be co-wOrker with God in this
grand work; never becoming weary,
but always being willing to do and
bear his share. Everyone is either for
or against the Master. Everyone is
either builder or not one. 1t is better
to be a builder than crtic--a grumbler.

One OF the subjects that has always
been given a full share of attention In
the Field and Farm is that of orchard
plowing. 1t is a most important ques-
ton in connection with the cultivation
and irrigation of the fruit tract. Apple
trees should always be planted on deep
soil. Deep plowing before planting
and at least once annually thereafter
is necessary. When the trees become
large and the roots occupy the entire
land between the rows many small
roots will be destroyed at each plow-
ing. This however need cause no APP
prehension IA to the safety of the trees.
The fibrous feeder roots that occupy
the top soil are not long lived. Like
the leaves of the tree, they perform
their duty aud wither only to be re-
placed by fine white, new roots. The
crop of vigorous young feeder roots is
only increased by the cutting off the
old ones by the pillow share. The turn.
ing over Of the soil, breaking up OF the
crust, formed by hauling loads of fruit
and spraying materials through the
orchard, renders a more valuable SER
vice to the growing trees than all shall.

4 New Use for the Phonograph.

An amateur ilutist once stopped at a
fair where phonograph company had
an elaborate exhibit, and showed such
an interest in the talking machines
that the attendant thought that sale
was imminent, and worked very hard
to effect it.
81 see you have a flute with you,n
he said, finally. "Suppose you play a
brief selection and / will make record
of it, and you will then be able to hear
the phonograph reproduce 1t exactly.n
The suggestion pleased the amateur
musician, and the idea was carried out.
"Is that an exact reproduction of
my inusic?" he asked, when the tune
was finished
"It is,"' replied the attendant. "Do
you wish to buy the phonograph?"
"No," replied the other, sadly, as he
slowly moved away. "But I'll sell

RANCH AND HOUSEHOLD.

The proper time to plow land Is
When II is just moist enough To break
up mellow, neither wet enough to
leave q slick surface where rubbed by
the moldboard nor dry enough to
break up in large cIods, or, as the
southern farmer puts it, when the soil
has good season In 1t. II continued
rain follows wet plowing, little harm is
done, but hot, dry winds would soon
leave only mass OF unmanageable
clods. In spring and midsummer
plowing particularly 1t Is of the ut
most importance to run the harrow

The party Of Congressman who

The party of Congressman who
left Washington Immediately after
the close of the session for a visit
of inspection to the Isthmus of
Panama have returned and are eu-
iogistic of conditions there. Ac-
cording to their reports there are
no obstacles to the prompt COM
pletion of the great waterway, and
their optimism is equal to that of
the President. Whether a con-
gressional junket is the best criti-
cal inspection and whether the
average Congressman is the best
critic of work so far removed from
his line Of thought is to be doubted,
but the unanimous report of the
party as to the encouraging out
look will go far toward dispelling
apprehensions and misgivings
which the frequent changing of
officers and engineers had aroused.
The party found a we'll organized
force of 5000 men at work amid
sanitary conditions that were ire
proachable. There was spirit of
pride and hopefulness in the work
among the Americans and the con-
viction everywhere that the work
was we'll in hand and that the COM
pletion in less than ten years was
probable. They speak in highest
terms of Col. Goethals who is to
succeed Chief Engineer Stevens,
and the work of Col. Gorgas, who
in making the Isthmus sanitary
place to live in, really made possi-
BILE the building of the canal. The
trip, it appears, was success from
start to finish, if the offishness of
Minister Squites which some re-
sented. be omitted. The President
is no doubt gratified by the report
of the returning Members, and
probably considers the junket
worth all it cost.

In stewing dried fruits cook them In
the oven instead of on top of the stove.
Prunes, apricots and apples are espec-
tally rich In flavor for being put into
covered dish and cooked slowly but
steadily for n long time In the oven.
Many fresh fruits are much more delic-
ious cooked i'm this way. This is espec-
tally true of apples, rhubarb, oranges
and banana. 1t is necessary to cover
fruit cooked in the oven and to cook it
slowly in order to prevent any scorch-
ing or drying up. An earthenware
dish is the best receptacle as it seems
to retain the heat better than any 9TH
er and cannot impart an unpleasant
flavor to acid fruits as some material
do. The ideal utensil is Boston bean
pot or eafthern pudding dish, In
most cases the fruit should be cooked
several hours or half a day to attain
the consistency of rich conserve.
Sprinkle the fruit with sugar and add
water to prevent it burningi the juicier
the less water is necessary.
