FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Fine or Conroe Hap
The fine hay, mostly made up of leaves,
instead of stems, and which has been cut
early, is far more nutritious than the
coarse hay, which consists chiefly of
. stalks. The stems of all grasses are made
np largely of hard, woody fibre and sili
sious matter, which give stiffness and
strength to the stalks, and as they be
come ripe the woody fibre increases,
while the sugar and starch previously
contained in them go to form the seed.
Early cut clover and timothy hay is ex
ceedingly nutritious, and the more thickly
ft has been grown the sweeter and better
it is, and the less indigestible fibre is con
tained in it. Ripe timothy hay is popu
lar as food for fast driven horses, because
of its coarseness and its indigestible
fibre, for the reason that there must
necessarily be given with mors nutri
tions grain a sufficient quantity of indi
gestible matter to distend the stomach
and bowels and produce the needed
mechanical action to secure digestion.
Rut such hay is not desirable for farm
horses, which are not highly fed upon
grain.— New York Timet.

J. X. Munccy says in the FariMr't tie
view: It may be of interest to those who
patronize creameries by selling the milk
to know something of the shrinkage that
may be expected. The majority of the
time I have not weighed the milk before
it was taken to the creamery and can
only report the following months and
weights:
Weight Weight nt
Month athome. creamery, sold for.
October 10,1 (Hi ’.(1,148 »167 93
November 13,039 13,043 135 03
December 12,050 12,035 125 06
The milk in October and November
was sent in three cans. When weighed
st home each can was weighed separately
and no account taken of the three
fourths or one half pounds. When
weighed at the creamery but one weight
made of the entire milk each day. In
December 1 presume the loss was due to
the milk freezing in the can cover. The
milk upon arrival was wanned to about
seventy degrees, and the cream separated
by centrifugal force. The skim milk re
turned each day has arrived at our place
in good shape. We live about four miles
from the creamery. The time required
to carry a load of milk, say six miles, in
winter is so short that cans holding 100
to 200 pounds, even though not jacket
ed will not freeze when the thermometer
is twenty to thirty degrees below, as it
has been at times here. I write this be
cause so many questions have been asked
about hauling milk in winter. The milk
was carried but once a day, the night's
milk being held until morning and the
morning's milk mixed with it.
A IHmlel Farm.
A writer gives the following as his
method of managing his 100 acre farm;
“My faun contains about 100 acres of
farming land, most of which is limestone
soil, the ba'ance sandy lonnt. I have it
fenced in four equal tracts, nearly as pos
sible. For convenience, at the corner
where they all join I have a good well,
arranged to furnish stock water for each
field. I manage to keep fifty acres in
cultivation, fifty in clover, each, year as
follows: twenty five in corn, twenty-five
in wheat. When the corn is cut off I
seed this field to wheat, and the follow
ing spring to clover. I aim to take a
crop of corn, then a crop of wheat, then
back to clover in two years, and I find
this us long as clover should stand to bo
profitable. By this method I manage to
keep the land in a high state of cultiva
tion without the use of commercial fer
tilizers.
“I raise stock enough to cat up all the
surplus corn, hay, etc. I stack the straw
and feed around the stack. Toward
spring 1 throw it down, so the stock can
trnmp it down. In this condition it
rots much faster, and is ready to haul
out sooner. This manure I spread in
the poorest places when 1 have leisure
and it is good hauling. By doing this
I keep nearly everything on the farm ex
cept the surplus wheat, which 1 market
as soon as thrashed, while it is in the
sack u This saves a large ]>cr cent, on
shrin go, la'sido extra handling, and
you have the use of your money. Any
field I have will bring n good crop. 1
riways have clover sod to put in corn
that has lain two years, and it takes no
longer and is not so much expense to
farm good land as it is poor land. The
pay is surer, beside the satisfaction of
seeing your crops in a thriving condi
tion and promising a good reward.
Recipes,
Baked Egos.—Break eggs on a but
’ered plate,keeping each one whole; put
u little salt, pepper and butter on each
one and bake in a moderately hot oven
until the whites are set; serve on same
plate hot from the oven.
Breakfast Biscfits.—Sift one quart
of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt and a
small tablespoouful of baking-powder;
add half an ounce of butter, mix well
together; add milk enough to make a
thin batter; roll out the dough, dredge
•lour over it, cut out the biscuits, place
them on a buttered tin and bake in a
quick oven.
Lyonnaise Potatoes.—Take eold
boiled potatoes, slice into small dice,
chop an onion fine, also have some pars
ley .beat some butter in a frying pan,put
in the onion, fry one moment, then put
tn the potatoes; there should be butter
enough to keep them from sticking to
the pan.and they should not brown; add
the parsley with pepper and salt just
before you take them up; drain perfectly
by shaking them to and fro in a heated
colander; serve on a hot dish.
White Pudding.—A delicate white
pudding is made by soaking one teacup
ful of gelatine in one pint of cold water,
the juice of two lemons and two cups of
sugar. Strain this and add the w’hites
of five eggs beaten to a perfectly stiff
froth. Let this become quite cold be
, fore serving. The sauce for this pud
i : ding is made of a quart of boiling milk;
j beat the yolks of five eggs with half a
f cup of sugar and stir into the milk.
; When this cools flavor to your taste. The
■ quantity here given will be sufficient for
1 nine good-sized dishes, or, with less
- generosity, a tenth may be distributed.

Fish that Climb Cataracts.
My opinion is that cels hatch in salt
or braekish water and go up the streams
when they are small. They can go up
any dam or fall when they are young.
They crawl up the dnms or falls, cling
ing to the rocks under the sheet of water
the same as an angle worm would. They
go up any fall no matter how high, if
they get there before they are five inches
long. There are plenty of eels in Lake
Ontario, but none above, except they
have been transported or got up through
the canal. They are also so large when
they get to Niagara Fulls that they can
not get over; they are so heavy they fall

- SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS,
i
- Some Noteworthy Character-
istics of the Feejees.
;
1 A Finely-Formed People; their Houses,
, j Food, Language and Habits.
s It is a common impression, says a
Feejee letter to the San Francisco
Chronicle, that the South Sea Islanders
are all cannibals and that the islands
g are filled with wild beasts. Such is not
the case. There are no quadrupeds
there except pigs, and cannibalism
!l has ceased to exist except in the most
0 1 remote and unapproachable of the is
lands. The natives are indolent and
1 far from being savage, and "in their re
lations with the are easy going
f and simple. There Is little romance
and less adventure in exploring these
1 Southern archipelagoes. The islands
’ are all of volcanic origin, and in the
1 lowest strata show no evidence of ores >
’ or minerals. The vegetation is tropi-
cal and luxuriant and the forests a- j
‘ bound in every variety of birds.
It is a common supposition that the i
’ i islanders are physically dwarfs and the ■
; women shriveled and hag-like in ap-
* pearauce, resembling the Indian squaw.
The truth is, however, that no liner i
race exists in the world as regards phy
sical structure. The men are tall and I
well formed. The women have mag
( nificent proportions, pleasing faces, are
neither flabby nor fat, and the contours i
of their bodies are harmonious. By ac
tual measurement they approach the
, Venus of Milo nearer than the Euro- I
pean.
Their houses aie built of a frame-I
. | work of saplings, put together without |
any nails, fastened by sennit made
! from the cocoanut fiber, and thatched
with a long grass to the thickness of
several feet. The sides and ends are
filled with a lattice-work of reeds that I
admit the air. The floors are covered
with soft grasses to the depth of sever
al feet, over which are spread mats, i
One end of the floor is raised about one
foot above the rest, and is used as a
bed, upon which is laid from fifty to '
one hundred of the softest mats. One
corner is reserved as a small fireplace,
consisting of bare ground and a few
stones, where are always kept smolder
ing a few cocoanut husks, used for the
purpose of making the suluka, or na
tive cigarette. The tobacco which they i
Smoke is simply the raw leaf dried in
the sun. They hold the leaf over the
• Are until it is crisp and then roll it in
dried banana leaf to a sharp point at
one end and broad nt the other. One
I cigar usually does for several persons,
■ each taking a few whiffs and passing
it to the next.
s The food staple of the natives is
fruit, but they have more sumptuous [
edibles prepared by their own ingenui- ■
( ty. The chief of these is the madrai, ,
, made from any fruit, yams, taro, or
I bananas, pounded into a thick paste
; and buried on the shore between high
: and low water mark. There it Is left
i to decompose for a year, when it is dug ;
iup and steamed in a large pot. When
unrolled from the dried banana leaves j
the odor is that of bad sourkrout sliced I
with Liinburger cheese. The natives I
1 relish this condiment as a master-piece '
of their art and eat it without even
, holding the nose. It is sweet to the
taste and easily digestible. Another
i Polynesian delicacy is a raw fish about
the size of a sardine, which the natives
scoop out of the water ami bolt xvhile
the fish is still wriggling. They taste
like sardines.
The natives are very polite in their
j intercourse with each other. When
one sneezes his companion says, “Sabu
i la,” your health; the person sneezing
■replying. "Moli,” thank‘you. They
j never meet in the morning without
saying. “Sa yandra," it is awake, and
in departing say, "Sa la’ki moce,” go
to sleep. The common term in their
I language for white men is “,<ai papa
lagi,” the first word meaning “of the
■ race of,” and the last, “beyond the ho
rizon.” The Polynesians have words
to express even metaphysical ideas.
: and the language is flexible enough to
I convey new notions when first present
ed to them. They call a steamer, “laca
■ linka,” or sail of fire, instead of incor
i pointing the English word into their
- speech. The language abounds in poet-
: ry, without rhyme, and mainly of the I
' trochee metre, as the accents of the
; words usually fall on the penult. They
celebrate love, martial deeds, feats of
strength, and drinking feats in verses
which are handed down by oral tradi
tion.
The Ass and the Fox.
One day, as an Ass was journeying
along toward a rich meadow, he
chanced upon a Fox who was quietly
sitting by the roadside.
“Ah, friend Fox,” said he. “I was
just looking for you. I am going to
Feed in yonder meadow.”
“But," answered the Fox, “You can
not get in; that meadow is reserved
for animals of Beauty."
“Exactly." said the Ass, “but 1 have
a beautiful Voice. Listen
And he brayed loud and long. When
the last echo had died away, turning
to the Fox. he asked:
"Now. friend Fox, you have heard
it What does that show ?”
“It shows.” said the Fox. quietly, as
he took up his cane and spring over
coat, “that you are an A s.”
Moral.—This fable teaches that
there is always more than one way of
looking at a thing.—Puck.
What is a Savage I
No one would call the ancient Brah
mans savage, and yet writing was un
known to them before the third centu
ry B. C. Horner, quite apart from his
blindness, was certainly unacquainted
’ with writing for literary purposes,
j The ancient inhabitants of Germany,
! as described by Tacitus, were equally
| ignorant of the art of writing as a ve
hicle of literature; yet, for all that, we
could not say with Gibbon, that with
; them the nobler faculties of the mind
had lost their powers, the judgment
had become feeble and the imagination
languid. And as we find that the use
■ of letters is by no means au indispen
; sable element to true civilization, we
should arrive at the same conclusion in
■ examining almost every discovery
! which has been pointed out as a sine
I qua non of civilized life. Every gene
ration Is apt to consider the measure
’ of comfort which it has reached as in
j dispensable to civilized life, but very
I often, in small as well as great things,
i what is called civilized to-day may be
I called barbarous to-morrow. Races
; who abstain from eating the flesh of
; animals are apt to look upon carnivo
rous people as savages; people who air
stain from intoxicating drinks natu
rally despise a nation in which drunk-
I enness is prevalent. What should we
I say if we entered a town in which the
streets were neither paved nor lighted,
and in which the windows were with
' out glass; where we saw no carriages
i in any of the thoroughfares,and where,
j inside the houses, ladies and gentlemen
I might be seen eating without forks,
! and wearing garments that had never
I been washed? And yet, even in Paris,
no street was paved before 1185. In
In London Holborn was first paved in
1117 and Smithfield in IGI4, while
Berlin was without paved streets far
into the seventeenth century. No
> houses had windows of glass before
the twelfth century, an 1 as late as the
fourteenth century anything might be
thrown out of a window at Paris after
1 three times calling out “Gare I’eau!”
Shirts were an invention of the cru
sades, and the fine dresses which la
dies and gentlemen wore during the
middle ages were hardly ever washed,
but only refreshed from time to time
with precious scents. In 1550 we are
told that there existed in Paris no
more than three carriages—one belong
ing to the queen, the other to Diane
de Poitiers, and the third to Rene de
Laval. In England coaches (so called
from the Hungarian kossi) date from
1580, though whirlicotes go back to
the fourteenth Century. So far as we
know, neither Dante nor Beatrice used
forks in eating, and yet we should
hardly class them as savages.—Nine
teenth Century.
Voikloulniii.
Ten years ago Voudou dancers were
of common occurrence in the lower
part of Louisiana. A mysterious whis
per would circulate from one cabin on
the cotton and sugar plantations to
another, and on a certain evening a
1 crowd of colored people would be
found congregated in a lonely place on
the bayou.
The Voudou women, aged negresses |
clad in bright, parti-colored rags,
feathers and shells, with black cloths
wound about their heads, would brew
a mess of herbs, blood, etc., in a cal
dron hung over a fire close to the
water, chanting, meanwhile, wild un
intelligible words over it. When the
fumes began to rise in a black cloud,
the other negroes caught hands and
danced in a circle, joining in the song-
Most of them were in a state of ab- :
ject terror and excitement. Their :
song ended in shrieks, writhings and
epileptic convulsions, which were all
counted as sacrifices to the Evil Spirit.
The old Voudou women were its
priestes.se, and to them, it was be- i
lieved, was given the power to torture :
or to murder their victims.
In one of the low-lying parishes near i
the bayou Atchafal.-iya, every field
hand, twelve years ago, joined in these
orgies. The people were completely
under the dominion of the Voudou
women, struck work at their bidding,
and would remain idle for days. Any
poor wretch whom the priestess cursed j
was driven out into the swamps like a
wild beast and left to perish there.
One or two enterprising planters at
at last established schools for the chil
dren of their laborers, and brought in
skilled mechanics to teach them trades.
Last spring, a Voudou priestess ap
peared on her old camping-ground,
and sent atonnd a summons to a dance, :
with a threat that she would curse all
who refused to come. Not a single
man or woman replied to her call. The
overseer (a colored man) appeared
when she had kindled her firs, and ar- j
rested her as a thief.
-She scare foolish women into steal
ing from white folks to bring money
to her. That she pretend to throw into
her pot. That's all the black spirit she
knows!" he said, contemptuously.
Voudou worship was at an end in that
parish.— Tout A’s Companion.

THE GRANT FAMILY.
:■ .1 Little Sketch that will be Bend with In
terest*
L- I
i [From Harper’s Bazar.]
3 ; The Grants first are heard of in
, j Massachusetts, exiles from their native
1 i land, who crossed the ocean in search
i- jof liberty. Like other families of the
( . Puritan settlers, they drifted west, and
took np their abode in Ohio, and in that
P State, at the little village of Point Pleas
* ! ant, there was born to Jesse R. Grant
a and Hannah Simpson, his wife, a son,
; who was named by his parents Hiram
! Ulysses Grant Here, in the labors of
I ■ the farm and the paternal tanyard, the
t lad learned bis first lessons in endur
ance and perseverance, and first dis
played his skill in horsemanship. In
J 1839 he was appointed to West Point,
and henceforth he is known as Ulysees
, S. Grant, a mistake having been some
how made in the entry of his name. In
1 1843 he graduated the twenty-first in a
’ class of thirty-nine. He had no great
. : reputatior as a student, but displayed a
taste for mathematics, and distinguished
' I himself in ths riding-school, where a
> leap of over six feet is still marked as
“Grant’s upon York.” With the ap
. pointment of Second Lieutenant, Grant
I joined his regiment, the Fourth Infan
: try, at St. Louis, and was sent in 1816
to form part of General Taylor’s army
of observation at Corpus Christi, Texas.
Hostilities soon ensued, and Grant was
actively engaged in the battles of Palo
Alto and Resaca de la Palma. He was
also in the thick of the fight in the
severe assault of Monterey. He was
soon after transferred to the army of
General Scott, was with him in the suc
cessive battles from Cerro Gordo on
ward, and was brevetted Captain for
meritorious conduct at Molino del Rey
and Chapultcpec.
In 1848 Captain Grant married the
sister of an oid classmate, and was sent
ito the Pacific slope. In 1854 he re
signed from the army, and engaged in
farming and business. At this time he
seemed to have no desires except for
civil life, and the place of County Engi
neer the aim of his ambition. Fortu
nately, he did not succeed in obtaining
the coveted situation. The attack on
Sumter in 1861 found him disengaged,
and being the only one in Galena who
knew much about military organization,
he took an active part in the local move
ments, and offered his services to the
War Department at Washington. Two
months elapsed before Governor Yates
made him Colonel of the Twenty-first
Illinois Volunteers. With this his
actual service began ; he was named
Brigadier-General, and os commander
of Southeastern Missouri he seized
Paducah. ' Henceforward the life of
Grant is the history of the war. After
Chattanooga the office of Lioutenaut-
General was created, and Grant became
the Commiinder-in-Chief. By this time
all distrust and suspicion of his abilities
hsd passed away; he had given us nd
our success, and hail proved himself
equal to every emergency. After the
actual strife in the field was over, Grant
retained the command of the army, and
for a short time discharged the functions
of Secretary of War. But he was soon
to t>e called from military duties to the
highest position which any citizen of a
free country can attain to.
After two terms of office as the Chief
Executive of the Union, General Grant
i carried out a long cherished project of a
tonr round the world. Ho was received
with royal honors in every court of
Europe, and in the furthest East his
personal influence was used to
strengthen American interest* in the
rich and vast ejipires which face us
across the Pacific Ocean.
On his r»turu to his native land Gen
eral Grant took up his abode in New
York, and 1:M led the life of a private
citizen, exerting himself especially to
develop ocr relations with the sister
republic of Mexico. He will lie remem
bered us tha mau who never despaired
of the republic, who did his duty
through good report and bad report,
and who, like Lancelot, was to his
friends the truest friend ever mau had,
and to his foes the stoutest knight that
j ever laid lauce iu rest.
Tub burial of a young woman who
died of pneumonia in Salem, Mass., a
week or so ago was postponed by rela
tives of the deceased, who noticed color
and warmth about her, which suggested
to them that she might be in a trance.
After five days, however, all the pros
pects of restoration to life vanished,
mortification set in and the body was
buried. Physicians, it is stated, could
give no satisfactory reason for the
warmth.

the stove -pipe set the wood-work of the

house was destroyed. Bergermeyer was
eo over come by his loss that he fainted.
M Love Sees No Fa nits,”
it has been said; but, when a woman is
dragged down, emaciated, wan, and a
shadow ;of her former self, with never a
cheerful Word, she can be no longer beauti
ful or lovable. Nature may have been gener
ous in her gifts, and endowed her with all
the charms of her sex, but disease has crept
in unawares and stolen the roses from her
cheeks, the lustre from her eye, and the sun
shine from her heart. But to be well again,
lies in your own jxiwer. Take Dr. Pierce'S
‘'Favorite Prcsription.” it will cure yxi;
thousands have Leen cure Iby it. Nothing
equals it for all the painful maladies and
Weaknesses peculiar to women. Price re
