CLEARED STATESMAN OF DEB
olsraelI's "EndymIon" Fulfilled Expec
tatIons OF Author.

In the year 1872 Lord Beaconsfield
commenced his last novel, "Endymion."
work undertaken chiefly from the
honorable desire to obtain a sum OF
money that would finally wipe of a
residue Of monetary engagements. He
worked at II pretty steadily until the
general election Of 1874 called him to
Office. when his. literary work was
set aside. Still he wrote at It oc-
casionally till the beginning Of the
year 1876, when the Eastern question
coming to the front and engrossing
his attention, he. as he thought. d.
nally laid the work aside. He then
wrote a letter to Lord Rowton. inclos-
ing the manuscript. unfinished by
something like 100 pages Of printed
matter. He stated his view that the
pressure OF public work would pre-
clude his continuing the novel. and in
the event Of his decease he instruct.
ed Lord Rowton to finish the work,
but not to volunteer the announce
ment that II had been left In an in
complete state or to avow his collabo-
ration, leaving the book to stand sole
ly In the name Of Its original creator.
Lord Beaconsfield, however, living
through his own administration and
finding comparative leisure when In
opposition. completed the novel with
his own hand, and It was sold for the
splendid sum Of 10000, windfall
which enabled him to fulfill his cher
ished desire OF paying OF his debts.

Orchard Work.

A good test of a mans Christianity
is to examine his apple barrel from
top to bottom.
A man may be a good woodchopper,
but that is no sign that he knows how
to prune trees.
An ak and saw in the hands of an
ignorant man cause more damage to
the fruit crops Of this land than all the
birds that are Matched.
Fruit sells best when properly grad
ed. The best will bring a better price
and the lower grades will generally
bring as good price as the entire lot
would if mixed.
For summer pruning of trees the best
time is from the 18th Of June to the
10th of July, just when the sap is run
ming freely. When the tree is in leaf
you can tell better what to cut out
Some people imagine that all that is
necessary to have a good orchard is to
plant variety Of good trees and '1et
'em rip" 1t generally takes years to
discover their mistake, but they finally
discover it.

Professors Stewart and Atwood, OF
the West Virginia Experiment Station
last year conducted some careful tests
to determine whether it is profitable tc
feed milk cows grain on grass. With
out going into the details of these eX
peliments we quote the conclusions az
follows.
"This experiment clearly shows that
there was no direct financial gain in
feeding the grain to the cows while at
pasture. 1t is true that the cows
which received grain were uniformly
in somewhat better flesh than those
that did not receive grain, but as fa1
as the milk yield was concerned the
increased flow was produced at an &C
tual loss" Data obtained in similar
experiments at other stations are sum
married., and from these in comparison
with their own Investigations the au
thors conclude that unless dairy prod
ucts are especially high in price it is
not a profitable practice to feed grain
to cows at pasture. 1t is true that more
milk is obtained and the cows hold UP
their yield better and remain in better
flesh when receiving the grain rations,
but under ordinary circumstances there
is no direct profit from the grain feed
ing, as the increased production usual
ly costs more than it can be sold for"

Leg Weakness.

Leg weakness is due to chicks be-
coming heavy rapidly, so that the
weight of their body is too much for
their legs. This is not always an alarm
ing condition, for it denotes that the
chicks are growing fast, and if careful
ly guarded and fed properly they will
pull through all right. The cause
arises from heavy feeding and forcing,
which carries the chicks forward so
rapidly as to cause the legs to fail
Change the food to light diet of veg
etables and feed bone meal in the food.
They should also be well protected
against the dampness, and the Difficult
ty will soon pass away. Leg weakness
is nearly always due to rapid growth of
the body or from lack of uniformity of
heat in brooders, if the chicks are small
enough to be kept in brooder. Crowd
ing and pressing together to keep warm
at night is a main cause of little chicks
having leg weakness. No great alarm
need be entertained unless the trouble
continues for too long a time, but
change the food and keep the birds
dry.

Utilizing Waste Timber.

attention to the subject of production

1t is stated that for the recovery O.
turpentine from waste wood the steam

uniform crude turpentine, and usually

Why Bill Was Saved.

George Barnes, a noted evangelist,
tells an amusing story of the attempted
conversion of hard listed old mountain
eer in Kentucky, who had resisted all
missionary efforts directed towards him.
''BilP' was extremely stubborn, and, in
addition, possessed various other unlove-
ly qualities that caused his neighbors
much concern. A final attempt was
made by a leading citizen to restore
''Bill'' to the faith of his childhood.
Bill" said this well meaning man,
edo you mean to tell me that you amt
teched by the story of the Savior that
died to save your sins" Whereupon
"Bill' demanded aggressively:
"Do you try to tell me that Jesus
Christ died to save men when he never
seed me and he never knowed me!'

disgust, cit wuz burned sight easier

Soil for Strawberries.

There is no danger of getting the
soil too rich for Strawberries. Sol

rotted manure, with little commercial
potash and rock phosphate applied with
the manure year before the plants are
set, make good fertilizers.
The strawberry bed should be on an

Short Suggestions.

Never mix a French dressing until
ready for use. The vinegar and oil
will separate.
Boil six peach kernels in a quart of
milk to be used for custard. 1t will
improve the flavor.
A good cook adds a teaspoonful of
sugar to each quart of water in which
corn, peas, squash etc., are cooked.
Cruel, when properly prepared,
should be but little thicker than cream
and should be absolutely free from
Jumps.
Teakettles would last longer if, after
use, they were turned upside down to
drain dry. 1t is the little drop of water
left at the bottom which starts the rust
that ends in a leak.
One often hears complaints that the
boiler rusts and ironmolds the clothes.
To prevent this, as soon as the boiler
is emptied rub well over with soap.
This will not only prevent rust, it will
also help to make suds for the next
boiling.
To keep mice away from pantries and
cupboards sprinkle cayenne pepper on
the shelves. In boxes and wardrobes
put Jumps of camphor among the
clothes. for mice dislike the smell of it.
The camphorj must be renewed every
now and then, for it evaporates in the
air.
Peanut butter is made by macerat-
ing fresh Drowned peanuts to a fine pulp.
They must be run through a chopping
or if finely crushed can be
run through coffee mill. The nuts
are then mixed with enough butter
SO that the mixture can be spread on
bread.

be placed in the ground he is net con-
tent merely to secure the best species,
but wherever possible he will go care
fully over the seed and pick out only
the largest specimens to be placed in
the ground. In this manner the pro-
duct is generally of a much higher
standard. 1t is difficult to carry out
this selective scheme in the case of
corn and similar seeds which are made
use of in great quantities. In the case
of corn, however, the small kernels are
generally at the tip of the ears, and in
order to get rid of these undesirable
pieces a corn-tipper has been invented.
The device seems to have been sug-
gested by the familiar pencil-sharpener.
It is operated by a small crank, and
has a cone with a tooth interior. The
tip of the corn ear being placed in this
revolving cup, all the small seed are
cut off, leaving only the full-sized ker-
nelS on the ear.

Serving Pudding.

Even an ordinary pudding of a
creamy nature takes on a new appear
ance if served in the tall-stemmed sher-
bet glasses. A tasty pudding served in
this way at a recent dinner was made
with rice and chocolate, topped with
whipped cream. The pudding is made
in the same way as the ordinary
creamy baked rice pudding except that
grated chocolate is added. A baked
custard, topped with whipped cream
and dotted with Maraschino cherries,
came to the table in sherbet glasses the
other day.
