How Herrings are Made to Resemble
the French Fishes.
American Methods of Counterfeiting
the Finny Delicacy.
"Are these the genuine French sardines?"
asked a well-dressed woman of a
Xew York grocer as she received for inspection
an oblong tin box, marked on
one side "Sardines a la Francaise." The
grocer looked at her with a slightly surprised
air, and replied, "Certainly."
"You may send me three boxes then,"
said she, and, after ordering a few more
things, went out. As she passed through
the door a reporfer of the Post, who had
been standing by, inquired, "But were
1 i_ ,i: C4.~~ ?ii?i?
, uiey real rreucu saruuies hi iia tun
The grocer tried to appear indignant,
but couldn't. Finally, he laughed and
paid: "I guess you know all about it,
but what can I say when a lady asks me
v. such a qucstiou? I can't explain to her
that nine-tenths of the sardines consumed
. in the United States come from Maine,
for, although they arc just as good as
-the French product, she would not have
them, and I should lose her trade. Most
of the sardines sold nowadays are nothing
but small herrings, put up in boxes
with gaudy labels and French inscriptions.
In Eostport there arc nineteen
places where they turn out sardines, besides
three at Lubec, two at Jonesport,
and one each at Aliybridge, Lamoine,
and Robbinston. .When it was first at- |
tempted to make} sardinfis from herrings
it was found tlr.it the difficulty lay
in eradicating the herring flavor. It
took years of experiment to accomplish
this. Finally a manufacturer succeeded
in producing a combination of oil and
spices which removed the trouble. The
herrings used in making sardines are
, about four inches long, and can be
bought of the Maine and New Brunswick
fishermen, when pienty, for about
$5 a hogshead, although when scarce
they bring as high a" $15 a hogshead.
The lish arc caught in huge nets set
along the shore. After capture they are
taken immediately to the factory, and
laid in heajis upon long tables, where
thev are decapitated and cleaned by
children, whose dexterity is marvellous.
On the average, each child dresses
seventy-five fish a minute. TI19 pay is
ten cents for a box holding about a
bushel. Some of the children make as
much as $1.50 per day. After
being washed, the fish arc pickled for
half an hour,and arc then laid upon trays
and placed in a large drying-room,
heated by steam. "When dry they arc
thrown i^i to ; large shallow pans of boil*
iug oil, and "thoroughly cooked. They
arc then pac^jl in boxes by women and
girls, and into cacli box is-poured some
>f the patent mixture of oil and spices.
Covers arc fitted on the boxes and"sealed
by men. The boxes are next placed in
boiling water for half an hour, and are
then removed and put on an inclined
plane, so that the enclosed hot air rushes
to one corner of the box. This corner
is punctured" with an awl, and the air escapes;
the box then being "made airtight
again by a drop of solder. The
boxes arc ornamented with attractive
French labels, stating that the enclosed
ire "Sardines a la Francaise.' Some are
labelled in addition, 'a 1 huile d'olive.'
T1 ic oil ccnerallv used is cotton seed.
Olive oi! is however, used for the quality
marked prime.
"Almost the entire product of these
factories is shipped to New York,whence
it goes to retailers all over the country.
One of the Lubec houses prepares about'
1500 boxes per day. The profit "made
by the packers is from four to six cents
a box."
"flow do you happen to be so well
informed on the subject," was asked.
""Well, I hnil from East port myself,"
said the grocer, "and ns a boy I used to
work iu a sardine factory."

Successful Treatment of Garget.
In earlier life I treated garget by a
number of methods with varied success,
pus forming in only, a few instances; but
for twenty-five yonrs I have had no case of
suppuration of the udder Irom garget.
As soon as the trouble is discovered
(usually but one quarter of the udder,
more correctly one of the four glands is
involved), the inflamed part should be
bathed with a mixture of equal parts
of tincture of lobelia and glycerine and
kept saturated with it till fever, tenderness
and swelling subside. If pus has
been already formed, the pus sack
should be opened at its lowest point and
kept dressed with i weak solution of
phenol, thymo-crcsol, or listcrine.?

To Prevent Swarming.
If you desire to prevent swarming to
the greatest possible extent you must
use a hive large enough to accommodate
all of the bees that one queen can ever
produce. You must keep your bees em ployed
either by taking their honey or
by giving them room to build comb.
The young bees having their work allotted
to them in the hive, as nurses and
comb builders; those young bees not
needed as nurses ought to have room to
plnctnr nn/l ltnilrl nnmlt until tlmr firA rtlfl
enough to go forth in quest of honey.
If you are working for extracted honey,
you will, as soon as your hives become (
well filled with bees, but not too much :
crowded, place an upper story on your ;
hive the same size as the lower, when -
this is filled raise it up and put another j
between it and the lower one. These ;
three hives should satisfy any colony, >
but if it docs not some of the strongest <
add still another. 1

Feeding Cattle for Manure. j
The feeding of cattle for manure is a 1
subject for profitable study through the
winter. Manure is the most valuable
crop that farmers can produce. It cannot
be purchased except in the shape of 1
costly fertilizers, or at exorbitant prices 1
that farmers cannot afford. At its usual ]
market value of $2.50 to $3 per ton it is
largely used by thousands of fanners.
But it can be made for much less than
this price. Milking cows use up 20 per
cent, of the manurial elements of their
food, young stock 10 per cent., and fattening
cattle only five per cent. A ton
of straw and a ton of hay fed with 500
pounds of cottonseed meal will make
eight tons of manure, and will be fully
returned in the form of flesh or fat, or
milk and butter. So that the fanner
who buys these feeding substances will
have at the above-mentioned market
prices fully $20 worth of manure, clear f

Potatoes Following Corn.
If corn has been heavily manured on (
an old tough sod, it leaves the land in
excellent condition for growing a large ?
potato crop the following season. The ]
coarse manure is just right for the corn
crop, giving warmth which corn needs
and potatoes do not. Fresh manure also f
causes rot in potatoes, especially if the ,
weather be moist. The second years use
of the manure is therefore best for the
potato crop, and after two years of
thorough cultivation the land ought to
1.~ r r ."i_ a ii.. . . . ..
ue irce irum wecus ana in excellent con- <
dition for seeding. The ouly objection <
to this plan is that sometimes the lack of 1
a sod to be plowed under causes failure i
of the potato crop in a dry season. Even <
this may be partially remedied, however, <
if rye is sown among the com at the time <
of the last cultivation. The rye thus 1
covers the ground during winter, and
protects it from washing away. In the
spring, rye will grow up to full size, and 1
be full of sap in time to be plowed under
for the potato planting.?Cultivator.
Influence of Feed.
Mr. "William V. S. Beckman once reported
an interesting involuntary experience
by which he learned that the most
palatable as well as expensive turkey
meat is built on a basis of lima beans.
That the character of feed of all farm animals
greatly influences quality of flesh
and milk is a matter of common observation
; a Home and Farm writer illustrates
flip fnnt ns nmmllv nnnliMihlp in tlin nnco
J "j'l' ~ *"
of egg-production: 4"Eggs in the corn
and cattle districts of the "West have far
less keeping quality aud a much thinner
shell than eggs coming from States and
districts of broken or hilly surface
and a soil of comparative poverty.
And the fact of a thinner
or thicker shell does not tell the
whole story. There has been found to
be a radical difference in the proportionate
amount of the constituent element of
the two classes?the thinner shelled eggs,
the nroduct of verv rich soil containing
___ r ? - ?/ o
more nitrogenous and mineral matter,
notably phosphorous and sulphur; and
thicker shelled, a larger portion of pure
albumen, water and oil." '
Pig-Feeding Experiments.
Professor Iluut, of the Illinois College
Farm, is reported to have obtained the
following results fiom his experiments in
feeding pigs: It required 13.80 lbs. of
skim-nnlk to produce one lb. of pork,
when fed with corn-meal in ration 1 1-7
to fattening hogs. It required on an average
44 lbs. of shelled corn to produce 1
lb. of pork during average period of four
weeks, or one bushel produced 13| lbs.
of pork. It required 4? lbs. of cornrneal
to produce 1 lb. of pork or one

bushel of corn made into meal and fed
produced 1ZJ IDs. ot porK. w nen iea
dry,shelled corn is more economical than
corn-meal to feed to fattening hogs. One
bushel of com is worth nearly three
bushels of oats as food for fattening
hogs. Cora-fed pigs gained about
lbs. per w.eek, and ate about 21 lbs. of
corn per 100 lbs. of live weight. Pork
was produced during the cold weather,
with corn at 28 cents per bushel, for less
than three cents per pound. An insufficient
food supply for two weeks caused
a very considerable loss in feeding thereafter.
Indian corn is the most economical
pork-producing material during the
Winter months in regions where it is extensively
grown.
Care of a Shingle Roof.
There are several ways in which a
shinirle roof mav be treated so as to add'
very much to its durability, among
whjch are: 1. Paint the surface of each
course of shingles as it is laid down with
lend and oil paint, or paint one surface
and let them dry before laying down.
One good coat should be enough. 2.
Paint the roof over as thoroughly as
possible with the same kind of paint of
any color desired, as soon as the roof is
finished. 3. Petroleum may be used
instead of paint, and of course will be
much cheaper, but it is liable to the objection
of increasing the danger of fire
on buildings where fires are maintained.
Soaking shingles a short time in a solution
of lime and salt has also been recommended.
Of all the methods, painting
and drying before they are laid is the
best, but the most troublesome, and if
thef roof is also painted after it is finished
the job will bo a complete one.
[f any expense is put on a board roof, it
should be of matched stuff with a
smoothly planed surface, and be painted
the same as weather boarding. Gas tar
is not as good for a tin roof as the roofing
paint that can * be bought at Lardware
stores ready mixed for the purpose.
A Sunflower Hedge.
A willow hedge across the garden or on
the north side of it, is a great protection,
but while waiting for this to grow
plant three or four rows of sunflowers
icross the piece. When tho flower
terns begin to grow drive some laths in
the row about six feet apart, bracing the
autside ones well; then stretch two or
three lengths of binder-twine on each side
of the row, winding tliein once around
oacli lath, and wind some cotton twine
iround the middle pair of strands between
each cluster of flower stalks to
keep them from falling or being blown
down. The seed heads must be gathjred
as fast as they ripen and open
mough to show, the seed, and
spread out in a cool dry place to
out thoroughly, when the seed
:im be. rubbed or threshed out with a
light stick, and cleaned in a fanning mill
or winnowed out by the wind. In the
fall plow up a few furrows on the south
side o^R; stalks which arc left standing
through the winter; harrow and work
down fine and plant onion sets at once,
rhc hedge or sunflowers will catch and
hold the snow, and so protect the onions
during the winter that when the snow is
oil the ground in the spring they will
3iart at once into growth, and furnish
the first early green onions.?American
Agriculturist.
Dampness in Walls.
A wall constructed of brick or stone
of any quality whatever will be subject to
ihc damp which exists in the soil, and
which will enter in all directions' aud in
ill parts where the wall is in immediate
contact with the ground. This is especially
true of brick walls that arc now so
often found superseding stone in the
country; many builders claiming hard
burned brick as being better than stone
for foundations even for brick houses, as
they certainly arc very much cheaper,
and if really hard burned arc practically
indestructible, which is more than can be
said of some kinds of stone that are occasionally
put into foundation walls.
In treating this subject, the London
Architect advises a sub-stratum of concrete
under the footings of the wall.
Afterwards as soon as the footings and
lower nart of the wall arc carried a
high ns the level of the ground, it will
be well to introduce a thin sheet of lead
the whole thickness of the wall, or as
thin layer of bituminous substance that
will penetrate the brick and stone and
fill the pores, or a double course of thin
slate set in cement. The purpose in
each case is to prevent the wet from
rising up into the walls of the house
above ground.
As a fuither precaution to prevent the
access of damp from the surface of the
ground next the outside face of the wall,
a facing of stone two or three feet high
and not very thick answers the purpose.
While the rain may beat against this part
of the wall so th#t it may become temporarily
damp, it will soon dry off without
communicating dampness to the main
body of the wall.
The inside of external walls should
never have the plastering applied immediately
on the face, but they should nl
ways be battened with long narrow strips
of wood attached by holdfasts to the inside
face of the wall. The slips or battens
receive the laths upon which the plastci
is applied, and the space formed by the
battens between the wall and the lathing
effectually keeps out the humidity.

Suicide and Gambling Profits.
An American who lias just returned

- ,w-vv ~ J 3'
Monte Carlo happened to be the day on
which the annual meeting of the shareholders
occurred, and that after the
meeting general gloom, pervaded the entire
surrounding atmosphere. It seems
that the profit and loss account showed a
profit indeed, but a profit very much
less than had been the case in preceding
years. After paying the expenses of the
esTiiWklMucnt_onlj $1,250,000 were, left
for those who heldstoclcurt'fie-compftny.A
few years ago the profits were double
this sum. The change is owing, so it is
said, to a growing conservatism among
the gamblers, both men and women,
who frequent this famous resort. There
is just as much gambling as there ever
was. but the eamblinsr for enormously
high stakes. is not so frequent. Men
and women now wager five-franc pieces
instead of louis and bank notes. One
interesting fact is that the suicides are
not as numerous as they used to be.
There, were 19 suicides during the past
year men and women both driven t6 the
taking away of their own lives because
of dcs}>air over losing various" ^divisions
of the $1,250,000 profits of Monte Carlo.
