Lew Wallace was serv ing as Territorial Governor of New Mexico a few years ago he shipped home to Indiana a carload of curios for his friends. The i collection for the most part consisted of boxes of miner als, furs, Indian blankets and bead- work, and with ■VJfVA, them was Included ■v/’ a diminutive Mexl- ^ ^ can burro or donke y intended for a gkx. wai<i.a.ck. neighbor’s child as a pet. When the car reached its destina tion the freight agent In checking up the contents of the car misunderstood the word “burro,” and, thinking that It was the phonetic attempt of some illiterate railroader to spell "bt .■eau,” was unable to find any piece of furni ture to fit the bill of lading. On the other hand, he found in the car a long- eared donkey, not Included In the bill. According to custom, whenever Ir regularities are discovered, he prompt ly telegraphed back to .*.« ^nipping point: “Car No. 27.390, Albuquerque, consigned Wallace, arrived minus one bureau, plus one jackass. Please trace and notify.” Gen. Wallace himself dictated the answer: “Change places with the Jackass.” Whence It Came, The straw manufacture owes its In troduction into England to Mary Queen of Scots, who, on quitting France, was so struck with the making of straw plait by the women and children of Lorraine that she persuaded a number of these folk to come over to England with her, in the hope that the peasantry might be able to learn the art. From their arrival In 1501 the plalters had but sorry times, until James I. estab lish the colony In the Luton district, where thousands are now engaged in this great industry. gsenenr SKSS % & I tef i WST-V .-I-T-KEF*- -Ty ! a— Vv*( I WOMAN with Hood’s SM-saparllU.

Bnt as yon raise grain we should advise yon to save what is needed for bedding, no matter though the sawdust be offered free. Sawdust with manure makes it very bard to rot, much more so than is straw, though both being carbon have scarcely any manorial value. Market gardeners object to having sawdust in manure piles, though they always compost their manure before using. It is better to use either bedding as economically as possible, and without doubt long straw bedding can be used with less waste than can sawdust, partly because it is less ab sorptive. The manure, either liquid or solid, passes through the straw without doing more than discolor it. So by shaking out and drying the straw can be used repeatedly until it has rotted and broken up. The liquid manure is best saved, not by absor bent bedding, bat by a layer of three or four inches of wood loam under neath the horse or cow. This also is much better lor horses’ feet than standing on hard doors, either of wood or concrete. A little chopped straw lying on the earth will prevent the animal from being soiled with it. The earth flooring should be cleaned out once a week and replaced with new.—- American Cultivator. a fev years e®tabnh a CHARCOAL FOR CORN-FED H03S. Whole corn is the hardest of all grains to digest, as it is also the cheap est carbonaceous food. It has less husk, in proportion to size of kernel, than any other grain. Neither is the corn made more digestible by being ground and fed in mush, cooked or uncooked, as is often done. Then it packs in the stomach in masses too large for the gastric juices to pene trate, and, of course, the corn fer ments or sours. Old-fashioned farm ers used to theorize about this in very queer ways. The acid from the stomach they often attributed to eat ing sour apples, as both the apple feeding and the corn feeding came about the same time. Then when this acid rose to their mouths and made their teeth sore they attributed that to chewing hard corn off the cob. So they fed soft corn or had the corn ground and fed meal. But the teeth continued just as sore as before nnti the time for butchering came, and thi ‘poor, overfed hog was mercifully pu ut of his misery by the butcher’' nife. It was while suffering the die rder of a stomach full of soured ma ei that many farmers found eding charcoal was a good reme ogs will cat charcoal readily, contains beside its .oarbou some ash which nentralizes acids. A little soda mixed with their feed will do the work still better. But this is only a tem porary remedy. In the end soda will demoralize the stomach worse than will anything else. The true remedy is never to overfeed even a fattening hog, and to give him variety, especi ally when corn fed. creased so rapidly that later it was necessary to depot in the latter town. In 1813 Marie Harel, the eldest married daughter, continued tho mother’s business, and was pablicly rewarded in 1864 byrtbe Normandy association. She started four more depots, and her father-iu-luw, \f, Pay- nel, introduced the first Umembert cheese in the town of Cain, while her goddaughter, Mme. dej Lessert, es tablished the first Camf mbert cheese manufactory in Calvados. I n order to succeed well in the making of this cheese it ia necessary *ot to skim tho milk, which should cohgulate, and to leave the butter-making for the months from May to August, at which time of the year only dry choose can bo made. Rennet / ig ‘added to the milk, which is gently turned and af terward lett in repoiein vessels with a wooden cover till tUe coaonlation has arrived at the proper point. To as certain this one place the back of a finger on the surface, and if it is not stained with the mlk it sntliees. Next comes the processor putting the cream into forms whici are op<m at both ends, and placed on rushoi so as to let the drops of thii, milk run off easilv. Thj cheeses arc afterward card ally salted and taken to the drying place, where they are le.t from three to four weeks. On the third or fourth day they be gin to be covered with small brown points. After a week or ten daye they are fall of soft white vegetation, with a few blanks between. When they begin to sweat ami don’t stick to the fingers, they are placed on planks and carried to the cellars to arrive at a state ot perfection. This occupiet another twenty or thuty days, during : wHch time they must be carefully watched and tended. When they are ripe they are placed in half dozent' wrapped in paper, and covered with straw fastened with string, ready fox their journey. They are also packed in rush basketsor white wooden boxes.

SMOKE YOUR MEAT WITH * ie dis i mat tbaf tnedfq r. it THE VALUE OF COAL ASHES. From my own experience and many inquiries from neighbor farmers t have reached a definite conclusion that coal ashes have truly a commer cial value. Some years ago we hauled a number of loads of coal ashes and scattered them thickly on a low, wet piece of land. The following winter the bottom was plowed for corn, the ashes turned under, and the result was that where the ashes were put there was a marked difference in the yield. The following year the same field was put in corn again, and as the ashes had brought forth such wonder ful results we covered another plat before plowing, and the same marked diflerence the following year, in the increase, was noted on both plats that were covered with ashes. The most wonderful part of the fer tility of coal ashes is yet to come. After the second crop the bottom was sown to wheat and grass, and while I will not say that any difference could be noted on either wheat or grase, 1 will say that after the land had re mained in grass for three years it was again plowed and put in corn, and the very spots that had been covered with the ashes could be noticed in the yield. This goes to show that they are beneficial for years, as they had now been in the ground four and five years respectively. Before the ashes were applied the ground was heavy and soggy, but the following summer in tending the crop a markeu difference was noted in the condition of the ground. There is no doubt whatever in this latitude. South ern Ohio, that coal ashes are beneficial on wet or clayey land. As one farmer puts the situation, while there may not be mnch substance or fertilizing properties in them they are an excel lent neutralizer, and adds that he has used them to marked advantage where ground is heavy, as they have a tendency i/” loosen it.—A.

Earn a pound of Bnlpbtir in each pen the first day of the month, so you will not forget it. Clean up the drop pings every morning. Kerosene the fwaosta and neat boxea once a week. Change the lit-er in the nest boxei every week or two, and sprinkle lib el ally with insect powder. Scald the drinking vessels once a week. Sadden changes are apt to make a big difference in the egg records. Sadden changes are readily noticed by laying stock, especially of the lighter built varieties. The early hatched pallets should all be laying now. If they do not begin early the chances are they may not lay before the last of February. Market poultry raisers should visit at least one exhibition. They will enjoy the outing and profit by the dis play. The inoubators on the majority of farms are now in full blast, and the brooders are being put into operation. Watch cfosely the condition of your fowls, and nip m the bud the first symptoms of disease. A sneeze, a cough, a swelled head, scaley legs, stiffness of the joints, dark or pale combs, looseness of bowels, are all warnings of danger, and the proper remedies must be applied. To neglect now may mean an unprofitable winter. At this time of year it is a good idea to put rusty iron in the drinking water. It furnishes a good tonic. When the nurhts are cold, an even ing feed of cracked corn will serve as a fuel for the body; but make the fowls scratch for every bit they get- do not allow them to gorge them selves. Do not expese the fowls to wet or cold weather, as such conditions will be apt to bring on canker, cataarh or roup. See that the houses, especially the scratching sheds, are not uncomforta bly warm, aud that the foods are not suddenly exposed to cold, damp storms. Nothing would bring^on pneu monia quicker than snob changes. Close up the pon try account and see how yon stand. What was the value of stock on hand at the begin ning of the year? What would be the interest on that at six per cent? What 1 did yon pay for food, labor and sup-1 plies during the year? How i much money did yon so-1 onre for eggs? How much for birds? Foot up the expenses; place beside the receipts—and what have been your profits? Clean up the premises, sell off the snrplus stock, close up the year in good shape. Those who sowed rye iu the fall view with great satisfaction the pleasure and benefit the fowls get from it. A rye patch for poultry pays good interest. Coming in just t the time when green, tender gr. ss s scarce, it is certainly an attraction. The hotbeds, too, should be grow ing lettuce for the brooder chicks. There ie no green stuff that will pro duce better results than tender, erisp lettuce.
