To cover the pan in which fish is
cooking will make the flesh soft.
All lard to fry fritters and doughnuts
must be very, very hot before putting
in the batter.
Black lead mixed with vinegar will
be found to give specially good polish
to the kitchen stove.
Rub over new tinware with lard and
thoroughly heat it in the oven before
using it, for thus it is protected from
rust.
When cleaning knives add little
carbonate Of soda to the bathbrick on
the board, for then they will polish
much quicker.
A neglected CRATE, or one which has
been red hot should be rubbed over
with a cut raw potato before it is black
loaded. The result will be brilliant
polish.
Ink stains on silver or plated articles
may be removed with a paste made of
chloride Of lime and water. This should
be left on for a little while and then
washed off in warm water.
If, when using lemon for favoring,
you need only half a one, put the other
half On plate and cover with a glass
tumbler. This excludes the air and pre-
vents it from drying up or getting
moldy.

HUNTING THE RHINoCERos.
He Is the Deadliest Foe That the Ivory
Hunter Has to Meet.

'"To my mind. rhinoceros hunting is the
most dangerous of all hunting, bar
none," says Berkeley Hutton, in Every
body's. II have had a worse time with
rhinos than with lions, elephants, Loop
ards, or buffalo. The beast seems pos
sessed of sort of devilish cunning; you
can't fool him as you can an elephant,
nor intimidate him as you can lion.
Unless aroused, he is timid and nervous
during the day, and particularly so when
alone. But at night he seems to lose
absolutely all fear of man. He does not
wait to be attacked, but has an unpleas-
ant habit of charging anything he sees in
the shape of an enemy, as soon as he
sees it-and his sight is remarkably keen.
Besides, like the elephant, the rhinocer-
os can, when he wants to, show speed
that is nothing short of marvellous, when
one considers his huge and clumsy bulk.
/ have known cases where rhino got
sight of a hunter and deliberately stalked
him, coming upon him before the. man
had an idea that he was anywhere in the
vicinity. And he always dies fighting; l
have never known a rhino, however badly
wounded, to try bolt for safety. Once
you rouse him, you must kill him, or he'll
kill you, if he can get you"

Aerated Bread.

Pour pint of boiling water upon a
pint Of new milk; add tablespoonful
each of sugar and of butter and a tea
spoonful of salt. Stir into this mixture
enough flour to make moderately stiff
batter, and beat in the open air, with
long sweeps of the beater that bring
fresh air into the heart of the batter
every time until it is lukewarm. Then
add the yeast. This well worked in,
stir in -four until you can knead it FREQ
from the Toured board. Set it to rise
until light. Then mold into loaves, and
when they have doubled their original
bulk bake in a steady oven. This guam
tity will make four loaves.

Wide Tires Needad

Every farmer needs one or two low
wheeled, wide-tired wagons on the
farm. They are the most convenient
for every kind of work in which a
wagon is used, especially for hauling
manure, filling the silo, hauling grain,
corn fodder, etc. A wide-tired wagon
hauls easily and does not cut up the
land, and also saves much back aching
labor in loading and unloading ma
nure, seed grains, wood, hay, straw,
etc. If one already has high-wheeled
wagons outright, there are many firms
manufacturing wide-tired wheels that
will fit any wagon. They cost but
few dollars, and are one of the best in
vestments any farmer can make-Wis-
cOnsin Agriculturist.

Leftover Eggs.

Eggs that have been hard-boiled and
cent to the table and untouched can be
sliced and dressed with mayonnaise.
Fried eggs can be run through a food
chopper, mixed with potatoes and
rocked in potato balls. Poached eggs
should be reheated and cooked done and
run through ricer to add to salads.
Boiled or fried eggs if run through a
ricer and mixed with finely chopped
meat make good croquettes. If the yolk
of an egg is used and the white is left,
beat it and stir into apple sauce. A
broken egg can be covered with water,
placed in the refrigerator and will keep
good for several days.

WHERE THEY PICK UP FISH.
One Way of Making Good Catches in
South Carolina

E. D, Smith, A. H. Gasque, G and A
Hugh Hines went fishing near Efing-
ham yesterday where a creek runs into
Lynche's river. They had fine sport and
caught 10S of the finest red breasts in
the country.
Fishing down there is done with the
hands. All you have to do is to feel
under the logs and in the stump holes
and pull out the fish. 1t is characteristic
of the red breast, we are told, not to
leave their hiding place. They stick so
close to it that one can literally pick
them out of the water with the hands.
These gentlemen had fine fun. They
caught some shad, but they were poor,
except one, and were put back into the
water. One snake was killed.
The. only bad thing about fishing this
way is the fact that there are some
snakes under the logs, and if by chance
the fisher gets his hands ON a moccasin
there is generally something doing. Mr..
Johnson, who lives in that section, inter-
viewed snake the other day in some
trash where red breasts were hiding,
and now he has a game fnger.-Florence

A Hay Stacker.

A homemade stacker that will do
good service in handling hay is shown
In the illustration. There are no cast
ings to break and the timber required
In it's construction can be readily pro-
cured. The dimensions Of the various
parts are:
The lower timbers which are marked
l are about II feet long and are made
of by 5-inch scantling. The side up
rights, marked 2, are about IA feet
long, and made Of the same material
as No. 1. The slanting pieces, marked
3, are about 16 feet long, and made OF
by 4-inch scantling. The arms OF
the stacker marked 4, are 16 feet long
and made Of by 5 inch stuff. The
cross piece, No. 5, is 13 feet long, and
made of 3 by 5 inch stuff. No. 6 Is
of 2 by 5-inch stuff, and is bevelled OF
the front edge to allow the hay to slide
over it easily when being showed on by
the sweep. TiniGers numbered Z, s,
and 10, are made of 2 by S-inch stuff
and are 10 feet long, except No. and
No. 8, which should be only as long as
the stacker frame is wide. Each enc
of Nos. and 10 should project a foo
ON each end over No. 2.
Nos. II and II are made Of 2 by
inch stuff, about 10 feet long; thos'
bolted to No Is about 10 inches from
the higher end of No. ID.
No. 10 is made of by 4-inch stuff
about feet long; the higher ent
should be about 8 feet above thu
ground, so that when the stacker is OF
the ground the weight box, No. IA
should be about two inches from tn
two pulleys ON the upper end Of No
| 10; also when the stacker is upright
as it is when the hay is thrown on tn
stack, the weight box should be abou
2 inches below the two pulleys on tn
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1908-07-30

upper end of No. 10; and when the
stacker is halfway down the weight
box, No. IA, should be just clear of the
ground.
No. II is the weight-boX, and should
be made of pinch stuff, about s to 10
inches deep, and about 2 feet square;
it must be well spiked together. The
idea of the weight is to start the
stacker back to the ground as soon as
the load is delivered from it on TO the
stack, and when the stacker is halfway
to the ground, the weight acts as a
brake for the other half of the way
down. The box is filled with stones.
The rope which attaches the weight
box to the stacker should be three
quarter inch, passing from the weight
up between the two pulleys on the up
per end of No. 13, and down to the
center of stacker head No. 5. The pull
leys on the frame of the stacker should
be attached by means of wooden blocks
with a notch cut out so that the pulley
can fit between the block and frame.
Pulleys for this purpose are 6 inches
in diameter and made of turned hard
wood. These are fastened in place by
means of a hard wood pin for an axle.
The pulleys should be kept well oiled
to keep them from calking.
The rope for raising the stacker
should be either inch or inch and a
quarter. The teeth on the stacker
can be made of by 4-inch pine scant-
ling, 10 feet long and bevelled on the
upper side to allow the hay to slide
on easily. The short upright teeth on
the stacker head should be about 5
feet long. They are bolted to the long
teeth about inches from the stacker
head, No. 5, and rest against the stack
er head, No. g. The stacker arms, No.
should be bolted to No. 2 with large
bolt. about II inches from the ground

Protein for Pigs.

Alfalfa is a heterogeneous roughage.
Pigs have only one stomach, and this
a comparatively small one, therefore
they are not as well adapted to eating
as are ruminants; consequently it goes
without saying that it is more than
likely that the young growing pig will
not obtain enough protein for maxi
mum growth from ration made up OF
alfalfa and corn. Nevertheless alfalfa
is one of the best sources of protein
for pigs that can be had and should
be used to the greatest extent. When
alfalfa is fed in the form Of hay 1t
may be given TO the pigs in racks. II
they are accustomed to eating alfalfa
in this form they will eat consid-
cradle quantity of it, but more will be
eaten if it is chopped fine and then
steamed or scalded and mixed with
finely ground corn into thick slop.-

You cannot control the sun, but you

canopies of some kind
Have places provided so that the
fowls and chicks cannot only get into
the shade during the hot weather, but
have a place of refuge during rainy,
stormy days.

AS they mature separate the cock
erels from the pullets and give the for

change it will, require but a week to
break them from their broody instincts
and they will go back to laying again.

Leather Horseshoes in Australia.

In some parts of Australia the horse is
shod with leather instead of iron, the
feet receiving better support; but this nov
city is employed only in regions where
the grouj.d is permanently covered with
grass or fine sand. Though the leather
shoe is more expensive than the iron shoe
the higher price is repaid by the superior
advantages. 1t is not impossible the in
novation will soon extend to every coun-
try where the nature of the soil permits
it to be used.-Brltish Australian.

Mistake of the Farm.

One Of the greatest mistakes farmer
or any one else in business makes is in
trying to secure a luxurious living and
q lot of fun out of a very small bust
ness. Aside from the fostering of IN
necessary habits, expenses are incurred
which are sufficient to meet the de-
mands of much larger business. Cut
your garment according to your cloth.
The farmer who takes pride in his
business has the same encouragement
and advantage over competitors, who
lock the snap and sentiment, that the
earnest, progressive man in all other
callings has. The man who succeeds
in farming as well as those in the minor
professions, must throw his very life
into the work in which he is engaged.
This applies to farming with great
force if excellence is expected-Dakota
