% Friday.
There was quite an argument in the
Buffalo custom-house, but finally II was
decided that frogs legs tasted more near
ly like poultry than anything else. They
looked like the drumsticks Of a milk-fed
fowl and they bore other resemblances
to the pride of the barnyard and SO the
collector decided that for his purposes
frogs legs were poultry and so they re-
rnained, until a wise and far-seeing Gus
toms Bureau at Washington sat upon the
question and decided that frogs legs were
prepared meats" and such they remained
until that tariff law went on the statute
books.
Wall from Importers.
When the Payne-Aldrich law came into
being there was a wild wall from i'm
porters of rubber boots and overshoes.
Under the terms of the Payne-Aldrich
Iaw articles containing any portion OF
wool or wooden fabric were dutiable as
products of wool. Now, rubber boots
have wool for the woven basis Of their
manufacture and also all of the heavy
winter type are wool lined. Therefore
rubber boots were woolen goods and they
were so assessed and so they paid duty.
Since the Wilson-Underwood law went
on the statute books with meats and
meat products and also cattle on the
free list an attempt by producers of
meat food products of various sorts was
made to see If beef hearts and beef liv-
ers might not be subject to a duty OF
the ground that the law said beef,
lamb, mutton, veal. pork and prepared
meats" Clearly here was a chance TO
start a litigation. but the Treasury De-
rartment refused to be drawn into the
net 1t decided tlat hearts and livers
and other Intern delicacies, the prod
ucts of the steer, the calf and the sheep,
were in the eye Of the trainers OF the
tariff law beef, veal or mutton, and thus
they have since been admitted free OF
duty.
The prohibition of the importation of
the plumage of birds and of land and
water fowl produced the opportunity for
confusion. This the customs division OF
tho Treasury thinks has been avoided.
Game birds and land and water fowl
dressed may be admitted. They also
may be admitted when alive. But dead
and not dressed, that is, not plucked OF
all their plTmase. everything except do
mestic fowl is, under the newer law, pro.
hibited from importation.

ADVICE ON USE OF SEALS.
Instructions Regarding Christmas
.Stickers, Are Given.

DO not affix the Red Cross Christmas
seals to the address side OF your domestic
mail matter. Do not mistake the seals
for stamps. They will not carry and
mail matter. but any mail matter will
carry them"
Such is the advice OF Mr.. Theodore
North Mclaughlin, secretary of the
Washington Red Cross Chapter, who says
that some confusion seems to exist re-
garding the proper use Of the seals.
While the seals may be placed anywhere
on the express matter, they must be
affixed to the reverse side OF domestic
mail matter. Those who do not follow
these instructions are risking the non.
delivery of their mail. AS many seals
may be used on the reverse sides as is
desired. The demand for the seals is
increasing daily.

HOW TO TREAT A LAME HORSE.

When there is a strain the horse
cannot be cured without rest, no
matter what other remedies are en-
ployed. If there is fever, a few
doses Of aconite should be given.
Tincture Of aconite root, fifteen
drops, given three tines day for
two days, should do the work.
Then apply warm water cloths for
a day or two, followed by cold water
cloths for the same time, taking the
cloths off at night, as it is necessary
that the water is poured on the
cloths quite frequently. After this
treatment the lameness and swell
ings should cease. Should this not
be the case, apply for a few days
the following liniment: Creosote,
one ounce; oil Of turpentine, one
ounce; olive oil, two ounces; mix
thoroughly. Be sure that the horse
has fully recovered before being but
to work, as many Joint diseases are
caused by neglected sprains, which
can never be cured.

The brine cure requires the same

For every 100 pounds use pounds

EA ing of land improve it? By
the fact that weeds ard 9th
er vegetation grow on it and
take up the available plant foods
and this vegetation dying and de-
caying furnishes this plant food
back to the soil for other crops, and
in it's decay also sets free still other
plant foods for the use of succeed
ing plants.
How is land under cultivation
made richer? By the application of
stable manure, the blowing under
of crops and the supplying of miner
al plant foods in larger quantities
than the crops remove.
How are rich lands which pro-
duce crops maintained fertile? By
the growing of legumes, which add
nitrogen; the application of more
mineral plant foods, phosphorus and
potassium, than the crops remove;
and the blowing under Of stable ma
nure and vegetable matter to replen-
ish the supply of decaying- organic
matter or humas.
These seem simple facts, which
every farmer knows are true. Then
why not follow natures methods
and mans common sense practice in
dealing with the soil?
A correspondent recently intimat-
ed that we seemed to have lost sight
Of everything else in soil manage
ment in our desire to get more hui
mus This is not quite true, but if
we could get our Southern farmers
to supply the needed humus to their
soils, we would be quite willing to
ignore all other matters for several
years, feeling secure that the addi-
ton Of the needed humus would do
more to increase the productiveness
Of Southern soils than anything else
that can be done and confident that
all other things will come in good
season when our soils have been
made as productive as a full supply
of decaying vegetable matter will
surely make them.-ProgressiVe

There are two ways in which the

second, by punching the web of the

former method consists of banding

SAVING MEAT BILLS.

With simply a wooden smoke
house with an earthen floor, better
hams can be made on the farm than
ever came from any packing house.
Any farmer can cut his years meat
bill in two by doing his own pack
ing, and if he is a little careful in
his methods, can have as good, if
not better, meat as a result than he
can buy for half the money.
There are two methods of curing
meat, the dry cure and the brine
cure. Both are good. But for pro-
duction of the highest quality and
richest favor the dry cure is supe-
1ior. Brine destroys q considerable
quantity Of the soluble protein in
meat, and that is what gives the
flavor. Any piece OF meat soaked,
or even wet, is never again as good
as it was. This is an approved dry
cure used with the best Of results:
To 1000 pounds OF meat take the
following:
Common salt ...... 40 pounds
New Orleans sugar 49,, 10 pounds
Black pepper ...., pounds
Saltpeter 49,. =. ..... l X pounds
Weigh the meat, and take such
part of the ingl edients as that is a
part Of the 1000. Let the meat cool
thoroughly. After thoroughly mix
ing the ingredients One-half of the
amount should be rubbed well into
the meat. Put the meat in a dry,
cool place (never in CELLAR. Let
it remain two weeks, then rub on
the remainder of the cure, and let it
lie about SIX weeks, whom it is ready
to hang. Smoking should be done
slowly. 1t should occupy four to six
weeks, q little every day, and with
little heat. Slow smoking gives a
delicate flavor. After the smoking
is finished wrap each piece in paper,
put in an unwashed -four sack and
hang in a dry place.

RETURNS FROM RAISING GEESE.

RETURNS FROM RAISING GEESE.
Our first pair of geese were a
present from my husbands mother,
and came from a pair of high bred
Toulouse, costing her $40 per pair.
We knew absolutely nothing about
raising geese and living in a section
Of country where geese were in dis
favor our first years work was
largely a matter of experience
The goose laid 10 eggs before she
became broody, poultryman in a
nearby city bought these, paying So
for the 10 eggs.
The next year the four young
geese laid 10 eggs each which we
sold at one dollar per sitting of five,
which is as many as an ordinary hen
con cover, and letting one Of the
young geese sit upon the 10 eggs laid
by the old goose, eight Of these
Matched, six lived.
Second laying the three young
geese laid six each each and the old
goose 10, giving us % eggs, from
which were Matched "a gOsIings. The
eggs from the young geese produced
smaller and weaker goslings than
ii rather delicate goslings, of which
we raised 10, giving us eight old
geese and ganders, six of the older
gOslings and 22 of the last sitting, a
total of SO.
In November the young ones
mated, we killed the three bachelor
ganders for Thanksgiving, Christ
mas and New Years dinners. In
i q
and fifty cents each, keeping the
eight old ones for breeding.
In this time we had learned some
thing Of geese and of course had bet
ter results than when we began
without any knowledge of their hab-
it's and what they required, so in
the third year the four geese laid 80
eggs, SO Of which we sold at $3.50
per sitting of five, netting SIS; from
the 80 eggs we kept we raised 22
goslings; these we sold for $3.50
each, again keeping the eight old
ones, and the demand was greater
than We could supply. We soon
found the goose market one that is
never OVerstOcked.
This is a rough estimate of what
our geese have meant to us:
