In fact, th< ostrich is deprived of the power o flight by reason of its great size. Th< mutcular force with which nature ha endowed it is not equa'i to lifting sucl a weight. It peculiar organizatioi i has made it the courier of the desert j where it is ablo to quickly travers< j the almost limitless expanse.

SETTING MILK. ^ '* A bulletin of the Perdue (Ind.) ex- ^ J i _ _ r_ i SC penment station contains some ueeiui y information in regard to the setting of r. milk. The poorest melhod ie consid- ^ ered to be the setting of it in shallow tin pans or crocks on pantry shelves, 3 or in cellar, the reason being that milk 1 k thus set is exposed to a greater air ~ t contact, and is, therefore, more liable r. to be aflected by injurious odors, by I1 ? disease transmitted through the atmosphere, and by heat and cold. Milk 60 fl set often sours rapidly and in cold ? weather may freeze. If it sours rap- c J- idly in summer curds get into the ^ cream and remain more or less in the AJ| butter, forming white spots and affecting the quality; or if the milk or T1/ i cream freezes an irferior grade of t* bntter will be made from it. Where cream is to be secured by a setting, the beBt plan iB to set the L* milk in round tin cans about eighteen inches deep and eight inches in diame- fc" 1 ter. The separation of the cream is Wl greatly improved if such can is placed ^ in ice water or in cold spring water v* _ to the height of the milk in the can. _ g This keeps the milk in a uniform tern- .L peratuie and enables the cream to rise j to the best advantage. This is what is commonly known as the shotgun can, which is sold by dairy supply cc ? houses, or can be made by any tinner. D< . The deep cans are ekimined either j3? . with a ccnical skimmer from the scr- ,7 face, or by means of a faucet or valve J at the bottom through which the skim J milk is drawn off. Experiments show that the latter iB mnch the better method, the loss of butter fat being only abont one-half that which takes \ place when the skimming is on the ^ , top. -Tin vessels should be used for setting 8 milk, and they should be made of tin 1 plate of good quality, as cheap tin is 1 so thinly washed that it really cor- w ' rode6 and the under metal of this gives ?? 9 a ruinous flavor to the butter if there 1 8 ie any 6ouring in the vessels at all. m e ei '* SUGGESTIONS FOR TRUCK GROWERS. 10 e pi The following suggestions from the ^ j Louisiana Experiment Statiop are to al e the point for the farmer, trucker or ta r one who plants a family garden : tj. Truak farming means intensive high Z{ farming. Lands dedicated to truck n( j must be heavily fertilized, not with commercial fertilizers only, but with '' unch home made manures as will insure .'I 1?ir<rA KrirmlipR of organic matter. The j ow ?r r?*- -- ?o I frequent incorporation of vegetable ) matter by the growing and turning un* ^ der of some leguminous crop?preferably cow peas (clover at the North ' will answer the same purpose.?Ed.) m ~ ?supplemented by mineral manures, j will in a few years render these soils adapted to truck growing. ui If -table manures be used, they w 3 6hould first be thoroughly ooinposted ? and several timeB piled and cut down, g in order to bring thom into a most a 1 available condition as plant food. A j compost of stable manure, cotton seed, aoid phosphate and kainit, mixed in ^ i such proportions as will suit the crop sj ' to be grown, will be lound a very ef- w 4 fective fertilizer, perhaps superior to f( ? any other mixture. "When the supply of home manures ' is inadequate for the demands of your c! crop, these may be supplemented by ?! cotton seed meal, acid phosphate and ' kainit, mixed to suit the kind of vege? tabic grown. 3 Proper rotation must be observed in t truck growing as in general farming, 7 if the fertility of the soil be maintained ? and maximum results desired. A J/ s slight knowledge of botany, yea, even a of the character of vegetables grown, J will greatly assist tho farmer in deter ^ l mining the rotation to be adopted. w y Melons, cucumbers and squashes be- u i- long to one family, and should not ^ i* succeed each other. Egg plants, to- tf b matoes and Irish potatoes form a akl other, and beans and peas another. k' Always follow a crop by another of *1 " a different family. Expressed in a 1,1 simpler manner, roots should not follow rootti. A tap-rooted plant will *1 follow well a fibrous-rooted one. Af- ?l ter a heavy manuring, ? cabbages, onions, Irish potatoes and t.gg plants rc should be planted, since these require tc excessive fertility for best resullis. la Follow these crops with tomatoes, m squash, etc., and these in turn by pi beans, peas, etc. A farmer will soon lii have a suitable rotation of both orops w %nd fertilizers. w di NEW POTATOES JN WINTER. tL Genuine new potatoes, fresh from k] tho soil, as in July or August, will o! doubtless be considered a remarkable delicacy in midwinter. Yet just s&ch st potatoes aro now on the market in m Milwaukee, and are meeting with a cc ready sale, although the novelty of at new winter potatoes is one of the very h: latest things known among produce fit commission men here. j it "If you wont to iuspect really new j In potatoes, drop in and see us/' waR the j ot request which floated into the Wis- ( hi cousin office yesterday over the tele- j pi. phone wire from a well-known roni- ur mission house on lower Broadway, pc Taking the sender of this message at j wl . -j' . a a sag gsaaBSsaasanagj is word, the potato editor of this reat family journal was sent out to tve6tigafce. He did so, and found iveral birrels of new potatoes of the arly Rose variety, with every appearice of being fresh from their oativo til. That they were as youthful as ley looked was soon demonstrated, id the assurance of the commission an that the visitor could he.ve all the ew Marpbies he might want at the ite of $3 per bushel rather staggered le potato editor, who has long been scnstomed to meetiDg, interviewing id writing ap freaks in the potato mily. There they were, a large supply of esh young, potatoes, tender and new i every sense, on the last day of the 3ar, when "old" potatoes are usually >und to be somewhat decrepit and isipid from age and the general wear nee potato-digging time in the fall, hose who had partaken of the novelty atatoea prononnce them juat as deciouB as any July product.

It has been suggested that thin now ' ? - ?? xi 11. _ e XI. - I )caio woiiaer is toe reami oi mo uioivery of some process for preserving :w potatoes from early summer until id winter, in such a manner t.s to keep em absolutely fresh, plump and new" in every sense. But this is deared to be an erroneous idea, and, on e contrary, Mr. Dalzell's most intiate friends insist that he produces in ie natural way, without hothouse aid other artificial means, except tnut le secret process, discovered by himlf, is used in their growth sad prootion from frost; It is claimed, also, i-At ho can grow now potatoes in large lantitieB with the ground covered ith snow and things frozen up gen ally, just as easily as at the present me, when the weather has been much ilder tban the season oalls for. What *er is the secret of this new move, it quite certain that "new" or "early" Dtatoes are now on the market in Milwaukee, and that they are deliciout id in every way as edible as those ,ken from the average garden when le robinu and the early summer jphyrs are singing carols to contented iture.?Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The destruction of the oldest seats of civilization nnd culture in the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea districts, naraely, that of the four cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, is one of the fixed facts of earliest tradition, and for the critical ^a mVionnmaTiAn nvflaantfl Tlrt difficulty, ae far as it can be traced at all. The tragedy was caused by a sudden break of the valley basin in the southern part of the Dead Sea, resulting m the sinking of the soil, a phenomenon which, without any doubt, was in intimate connection with a catastrophe in nature, or an earthquake accompanied by such a sinking of the soil along one or more rents in the earth, whereby these oities weie destroyed or "overturned," bo that the Salt Sea now occupies their territory. The view that this sea did not exist at all before this satastropllie.'or that the Jordan before this period flowed into the Mediterranean Sea, contradicts throughout all geok'gical and natural science teachings connecting the formation of this whole region. That the Pentapolis it one tome was situated in the south9rn part of the Dead Sea, which is now called Sebeha, is proved also, among other things, by the probable location at this place of Zoar, the olace which escaned destruction in the days of Lot; in accordance, too, with the writers of antiquity and of the middle ages, including the Arabian geographers. As yet nothing certain aan be determined concerning the location of the four other oities, viz., Sodom,Gomorrah, AdmahandZeboim, of which names only that of Sodom, in Djebel Usdum, is found reflected in any place in these preoincts. And 9ven apart from geologioal and geographical reasons, this seems to be the natural thing, 86 the book of Genesis :repiesents these plases as having been thoroughly destroyed without leaving any trace or remnant behind. The fact that now these districts are a dreary waste, and by the Arabian geographer MukaddaBi called a "hill," is no evidence that in earlier times this was not different, and this ?11 --"II" n moinn /if rkflrariiflM vmiey nut renuj a noiuu v?* ?Dr. Mai Blanckenhoro.

He sat until bed time without making any change in his dress; he never seemed particularly incommoded by the travel-stained condition of his outer garments, but was scrupulously careful, even in the most aotive campaigns, about the cleanliness of his linen and his person. The only chance for a bath was in having a barrel sawed in two and using the half of it as a sort of sitz-bath.

While thus engaged even his servant was not allowed to enter iiie quarters. You Will Never Be Sorry. For living a pure life. For doing your level best. For being kind to the poor.

J s:<W ' - ':> i <*? ? F r' - v v *? Uses of Old Mioes. I Old shoes are not loBt by any means. f In this country they are directed and subjected to a course of manipulations bv which they are converted into a ^ kind of artificial leather, which ia made to look very fine, and may be elegantly ornamented. In France they go through a less elaborate transformation. At the military prison in Montpelier the shoes, the majority of which come from SpaiD, are ripped apart and the nails are drawn oat. The parts are softened in water, and 5 are then cut up by a machine into I vamps fpr children's or little girls' e shoes. The soles are likewise utilized. ( me smallest pieces are nsea to mane a the Louis XIV. toes which were in 4 fashion a few years ago. Pieces a lit- s tie larger and thinner are made into the soles of babies' shoes. The nails of iron are separated by means of a magnet from copper nails, and the latter are sold for a higher price than the others. The manager of the prison represents that the returns from this manufacture nearly equal the cost of the old shoes. k Curious Racing Mistake. - Among carious sporting incidents should bo recorded one told by Mr. John Kent in his "Reminiscences of Goodwood," where a horse loses a race from being too far in front at the winning post. Mr. C. Greville, who was judge, was seated on an erection so far above the level of the course that Dandizette passed, unnoticed by him, two or three lengths in advance of Vitellina and Ghost, which were running on the opposite Bide of the course. unosi nung so mucn upon viiemna as , to endanger her being driven against f the rails, which so attracted Mr. Greville's attention that he did not see Dandizette; and Boyce, who rode the mare, asked Mr. Greville if he did not win, stating that, although he passed the post first by some lengths, he could have increased the lead had he felt disposed. So apparent was the error that Lord Verulam?the owner of Vitellina ?offered the Duke of Riohmond the stakes. Watch and Locomotive.

Vhat a Lowell Reporter Discovered in the Historic Ta?o of Dunstable? Miraculoa* Escape From a Miser** bk Existence of a Descendant ol One of the Pioneer War* riors of Colonial Times ?The Talk of the Neighborhood. From the News, Lowell, Matt. Mr. Hiram Spaulding, who was for many ears the proprietor of the Maasapong louse, a Boston summer resort, is undoubt aiy as wen Known as any man in Middlesex Jounty. Mr. Spaulding. besides having been , popular hotel man, boasts ot being a lineal lescendant ol John Spaulding. a well known oldier wno was killed in aotion with the ndians while serving in the oommand of he famous Captain John Tyng In 1804. He lIso is well known as the first leader ot the elebrated Dunstable Cornet Band, of Duntable, Mass., familiarly known as the mounted band."- Altogether Bandmaster Spaulding is perhaps the best known citizen n town, and respected everywhere for his iprightnees and sterling character. Mrs. Nellie A. Spaulding is the wife ot this jentlepian, and almost as well known as her >opular husband. A recent severe Illness rom overwork and malaria caused grave ears among her numerous acquaintances, ind the local physicians seemed powerless o aid her. Chills and fever, impaired iction of heart and liver, and general wretohidness were her portion, until her attention vas called to Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for 'ale People, and she began to use them. On. l.abor Day. Monday, Sept 7, 1896, Mrs. Ipaulding finished the first box of Pink Pills, md she informed the News reporter that on hat day she performed one of the hardest lay's work ever accomplished by her. She s still taking Pink Pills according to direoions, and all traces of malarial poison se?m o have vanished. "No one was more astonished at myrecoviry tban my husband and my neighbors, ind they are not surprised," said she, "to )nd in me such a champion ot what is defined to become a household medicine, the >recious Pink Pills " At tno request of Mrs. Spaulding, the Vetcs reporter called on several persons In bo town of Dunstable, all highly respectable adi?s of prominence in the community; he ound them using "Pink Pills" with good esults, and after a fair trial will (so they bought) be ready to add their testimonials :o that ot Mrs. Spaulding as to their medlcilal and curative worth, especially In chronic :asesof nervousness. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a eonlensed form, all the elements necessary to ;ive n( w life and richness to the blood and estore shattered nerves. They are an unfiling specific for such diseases as locomo:or ataxia, partial paralysis, St.Vitus'dance, loiatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous leadache, the after effects of la grippe, pel- f )<tatlon of the heart, pale and sallow comjlexions, all forms of weakness either In nale or female.
