Never Satisfied.
This is a sort of topsy-tni vy
world. No one seems to be satisfied.
One man is striving to get justice,
and another is flying from it. One
man is saving up to bay a house,
another is trying hard to sell his
dwelling for lees than it cost to get
rid of it. One man is speeding all
~ the money he can earn in taking a
girl to a theatre or show and in
sending her presents in hopes that
he may eventually call her his wife
and his neighbor is spending all his
gold he has saved to obtain a divorce.
One man keeps a pistol to
protect himself against burglars,
I while another doesn't keep one for
fear of shooting himself or some
member of the family. Oue man
pays for his paper in advance because
he can read it with a great

How 1 Cured Sweeny and Fistula.
"I want to tell you how I saved
one of our horses that had a fistnla.
We had the horse doctor out and he
said it was so bad that he did not
think he could cure it, and did not
come again. Then we tried Sloan's
Liniment and it cured it up nicely.
"One day last spring I was plowing
for a neighbor who had a horse
with sweeny, and I told him about
Sloan's Linimeut and he.had me get
g bottle for him, and it cured his
horse all right, and he goes off now
like a colt.
"We had a horse that had sweeny
Awfnllv bad and wt thouzht it was
y - w
never goiug to be any good, but we
used Sloan's Liniment and^it cured
it up nicely. I told another neighbor
about it and he said it was the
best Liniment he ever used.
"We are using Sloan's Sure Colic
Cure and we think it is all right."

THR SAGE OF |
POSSUM FORK;
OFFERS SOME TIMELY COUNSEL AS TO' J
HOG ANO HOMINY AND OTHER j j
unnnrtitT uiffinp
mrUltlANI JRAIICKO.
I j
i Editor County Record:?
We hatye hominy every
morning for breakfast and some
times we have hog and hominy. .But
this last year has been a disastsous
year for the hogs. Great numbers
have died of cholera and no oue
seems to know a cure. But I have
run up with two or three men who
say that tar is a preventive. Mr
Gabe Ellis,down uext to Yawhanna,
and Mr Gordon Evaus,both say they
do not lose any hogs, while their c
neighbors all around them suffer ^
great losses. They keep the tar
about the feeding place and rub t
some on the hogs and put it about. <]
and in the feed troughs and sometimes
in the feed; the hogs sleep to- j;
gether and tar one another. I was
told of two other men who had the t
same good results from the use of t
tar. Now tar is abu?clant it) every 1
piece of fat lightwood. but you can
hardly find a mau who has any. I
remember what a wheeling cough a ^
sick hog has, aud tar is good for a *
cough,and is underestimated because ?
of its abundance in ?he South. Any e
body e&n run a quart or two in a s
short^ime. Just scoop out aslant- 8
ing hole in the ground, by the side a
of a ditch to hold a peck ,or more g
splinters of very fat lightwood, bore 0
a slanting hole through into the side n
of the ditch, and set an old tin I
bucket to catch the tar. Now hunt
up some old flat piece of stove iron
or take the iron back some use in e
the house chimney, 12 or 18 inches o
square and lay it flat ou top of the 8
hole full of fat splinters, bank *
around the edges, so the fire can't
get to the lighiwood, and build a a
slow fire on the naked iron, aud you p
will have a6 nice tar as anybody. *
Or if you can pick up an old pot and 0
till ll witn iat spnniers, ana euro 11
up side down on the aforesaid scoop- e
ed out hole full of fat splinters, s
bank around the edges and build c
h
your slow tire on it and the tar will
?i
soon be steamed out. Well, so much n
for the hog, now for the homiuy. \{
Your correspondent, S 0 Eaddy, fi
has drawn attention to the necessity n
v
of planting good seed,and liev T E
James has told how to destroy disease
germs by scalding the seed
com, and now let's tar the seed corn
to keep insects aud birds from eating
it. Of course you would not stir |(
the corn iu the raw tar, but take Mr r
James' boiling water iu a bucket n
and stir in about a teacup ot tar,say fi
for two minutes, in say three quarts P
of boiling water, then "douse" in P
four or five quarts of shelled seed ^
corn and stir vigorously one minute ?
and turn out the whole fix on a hard d
place in the yard where there is c
slant enough to let the water run off ^
and throw on the corn say a quart j
of dry dirt from under the house ti
and rub like cotton seed with the hands
until ^11 stickiness is goue.
Ouly a thin film of tar will b3 on
each grain,audit will not stick to S
the hands so mncb, so don't be timd }
ii
about it. Plant as usual?and tell j a
the crows to try a grain. I always 8,
put two or more grains in a hill and a
thin to a stand, leaving the most ^
vigorous plant, for a large percent- ^
age of the grains will produce weak- jj
ly plants, and you can take choice of t<
stalks, which means a great deal and li
pays ten times over for the work of ^
thinning out. ^
Now don't forget the tar for the ^
hog, tar for the hominy and give the r<
children tar water for the grip. o
Yes, run the tar and keep it on J
hand; it is handy and cheap for a t)
lot of utilities, and I want to draw w
your attention to one other import- n
ant point the very next time I sign o
myself, Possdm Fork. P

A New Yorker who sometimes
raries his horseback riding by tak- i _
ng trips through the rail fence belt I
)f Long Island noticed on one such
:rip a fanner sitting dejectedly on J
)ne such fence. At the farmer's'0
feet was a litter of little pigs so ?
:hin they gave the impression of
laving but one dimension. A
"What happened the squealers?'* j u

The farmer beckoned him to come a
dose,then Loarsely whispered:"Lost | t<

CHICKEN GUMBO. i<
. }
"he Vexaels and the Recipe to Use In j (
Compounding It. |
Even if ? man never took his eyes !
<T Lie soup plate he ought to know 1{
f his location as soon as he goes i (
outh of Mason and Dixon's line. i
lev -one with a trace of sense could
ell it by "the okra.
Okra is as common in the south j
s it is rare in the north. It is said |
0 he synonymous with gumbo,
hough some authorities declare
fiat gumbo involves the presence of
tlier items than merely okra. As |
he latter appears in American seed
atalogues under at least fifty diferent
names, there seems to be
oom for some confusion.
It is said that okra came originalj
from Africa, and indeed it has]
een proved that the Egyptians used
: long ago. Tons of it are grown
t Turkey and the northern part of
kfrica, and it is a staple article of
nod in the Weyt indies and Central
iincrica. ^
In this country its prim it use is
1 making the various gum, > soups,
'he pods not or. A give an a ;reeable
avor, but a peculiar mucilhginous
onsistency. which it- highly prized
y those who like it.
Sometimes the young seeds are
rwik-fut 3iv si as preen neas .

re. Sometimes tuey are boiled and I
?rved with French <lre?>-ing as salI
According to direction* issued by
lie department of agriculture, no
upper, brass or iron cooking ves?1
should be used in preparing
kra. The metal will discolor tht 1
ods and even render them poison- i
us. Use only agate, porcelain or 1
arthen ware.
The New Orleans Picayune's cookr?ok
gives the following recipe for I
iiicken gumbo: One chicken, on? 1
nion, one-half pod of red pepper }
ithout the seeds, two pints of okra, .
r about fifty pods; two large slice*
f ham, two large tomatoes, one ba> '
iaf, one sprig of thyme or parsley, \
ae tablespoonful each of lard and j
utter, salt and cayenne to taste. S
Clean and cut up the chicken. C
ut the ham into small squares or ^
ice aiiu ciiup ine uun 11, paisicjr auu *
lyme. Skin the tomatoes and chop }
ne, saving the juice. Wash and y
em the okras and slice into thin v
yers of one-half inch each. ^
Put the lard and butter into the '
>up kettle and when hot add the 7
licken and the ham. Cover close- I
and let it simmer for about ten \ji
linutes. Then add the chopped i
lions, parsley, thyme and toma- ^
>es, stirring frequently to prevent '
:orch ag. 7
Then add the okras and when \l
ell browned add the juice of the i
imatoes, which imparts a superior
ivor.
The okra is very delicate and is
able to scorch vf not stirred fre- 7
aently. For this reason many ere- V
e cook3 fry the okras separately \|
i a frying pan, seasoning with the J
}pper, cayenne and salt, and then :
Id them to the chicken. Equally
)od results may be obtained with
ss trouble by simply adding the
era to the frying chicken and ~
atching constantly to prevent
:orching. The least taste of a
orch spoils the flavor of the gumWhen
well fried and browned adci
x>ut three quarts of boiling water
id set on the back of the stove to
mmer for about an hour longer
?rve hot with nicely boiled rice
ound steak may be substituted for
licken, but it must be borne in
ind that the chicken gumbo is the
;st flavored.?Washington Post
Appreciated Advice.
Good counsel, thankfully received,

ssulted in an understanding far
ore to the delectation of the hear
than of the one who delivered it
good Swedish minister gathered
company of Indian chiefs and deperea
to them a discourse on the
ibject of sin and its consequences,
e enlarged upon the story of Adn,
Eve, the apple and the fall. His
nguage was vivid and picturesque
id made a great impression on the
sd men. At the end of the sermon
1 Indian orator rose and said:
"What you have told us is all very
iod. It is indeed bad to eat apples.

Many Meaning* of Balloon.
The word balloon has many meanigs,
although it is now almost enrely
confined to its aeronautical
snse. Originally a balloon was simly
a large inflated ball like a footill,
from which it came to be apLied
to the game in which it was
led. A large short necked glass
sssel and a method of training
nit trees are also among its meanigs,
jrhile the king of Siam trava
in his balloon, which is, however,
Gtate barge of gorgeous design.
