In choosing tongue, ascertain how
long it has been dried or picked, and
select one with smooth skin, which de-
notes its being young and tender. If
dried one and rather hard soak it at least
for twelve hours previous to cooking it;
if, however, it is fresh from the pickle,
two or three hours will be sufficient for
it to remain in soak. Put the tongue into
a stew-pan with plenty of cold water and
a bunch Of savory herbs; let it gradually
come to boil, skim well and simmer
very gently until tender. Peel off the
skin, garnish with tufts of caulifower or

EDITOR MINER :-I desire to say a few words concerning this Valley. Having is in full blast, and a great deal is being cut Everybody is preparing and repairing foi harvest, which will start in from one to two weeks. Most of the grain looks as well as could be expected, yet it is not as good as it would have been if it had received the required amount of water

 The cause of the scarcity is that the late Spring rains created an overflow in the river, washing away the dam. Some Gfty men were put on to renew the destroyed ditch, and the Water Company, after con- sultation, concluded to extend the head of the ditch ha,f mile further up the river. The scrapers were put on one section, and the shovelers on another where It was too sidling for scrapers to work, and the whole thing was completed in two weeks. The ditch now carries as much water as ever, and farmers are busy irrigating for the last time during the season. The weather is getting very warm down here, but in two months more it will be hot Linen and fans are already in order, especially on Sun day. CAST.

from the skin will evaporate. But q
st. Louis the air is continually moist
and therefore does not carry off the

the other. Both bondholders and la

Consume all the apples possible at
home. They are good food, whether
eaten cooked or uncooked. Baked ap-
pies and milk will put rounded muscles
and rosy cheeks on children faster than
any other food, and they are equally
good for children of larger growth.
There is no end to the way in which
apples may be cooked. The old-fash-
ioned apple pie, discarded as 1t Is In
some quarters, is always an acceptable
dessert, and we notice that those who
decry all kind of pastry cannot resist
the temptation to partake ofa fresh ap-
pie pie. Apple sauce is Incompatible as
relish for the tea-table. Plum sauce,
grape sauce, and even peaches pail on
tho palate with constant use; but who
ever tired of nicely prepared apple
sauce? But we have not space to go into
the various modes of cooking apples.
The true way to eat apples, and most
other fruit, is In the raw state. Cook
ing drives off the exquisite but volatile
aroma on which their virtue so depends.
They are more healthful also, without
the addition Of sugar and spices. With
two to six apples eaten each day In the
year we expect our stomach and all the
internal viscera to In good working or
der. One mans experience is net suf-
ticient to establish universal law, but
so far as our observations goes, malic
acid apple juice operates favorably on
most stomachs. The exceptions only
prove the rule. In no case Ia there any
necessity for apples rOtting on the
ground. They are ecellent food for
all kinds of stock. Horses, cattle,
sheep, and swine eat them with avidity,
and the only danger Is that they Will
eat~tOo many if allowed free access to
them. The old notion that apples made
cows dry up their milk arose from the
practice of letting the herd into an or
chard to eat I'D libitam. Or course, they
would eat till their stomachs were de-
ranged, and fever and iiarrhea would
ensue. The same result would follow,
with some notifications, if the cows
were let into II fresh clover patch or
cornfeld, but this does not prove that
clover and corn cause milk to dry up.
The true way to feed apples to cows
and horses is TO give them few at
first, and increase the rations as their
stomachs become adjusted to this diet,
