TAMALES.
How Mexicans Make on Odd
but Palatable Edible.
A Peculiar Dish that is Sold Eoadily in
Towns of Texas.
Among the rather odd spectacles that
never fail to attract the attention of the
new-comers is a sight that may be nightly
witnessed on the streets of Fort Worth
and in all the cities and larger towns of
Texas. A little beforo sundown small
groups of Mexicans with huge baskets
swinging from their shoulders may be
seen to take up places on the corners of
the principal streets. Here they plant
thcmselves for the night to carry on a
trade, the littleness of which seems ridio-
ulous, if not quite contemptible, in the
eyes of an Anglo-Saxon. Those big
baskets contain tamales. An article of
food that the new' arrival from the Trans-
Mississippi country never saw or heard of.

a
state , (the ... Mexicans .. . grind ... m what , they ,
call a matate). The next thing is to pre-
pare the chili, the seed of which is taken
cat and boiled for twenty-five minutes,
then the skin is taken off and it is ground
in with garlic, black pepper, salt and
some Mexican seeds. Some meat, usually
lean beef, and not the littic hairless dogs,
as has been slanderously charged, is chopp¬
ed up very fine and a littic lard is put
over it. All is now ready save the
shucks, the whitest of which are selected
and scalded with hot water. The corn-
dough, with the various ingredients be¬
fore mentioned, is then spread on the
shuck and the latter is rolled up. It is
then ready to go into a pot of hot water,
where it is steamed till done.
The Mexican sellers are odd citizens.
They appear to bc very poor, yet during
the course of a night they will take in a
good many nickels, and as their tamales
are made of very inexpensive materials
nearly all is clear profit. T. e price va¬
ries with the locality. In Austin two are
sold for a cent, but in Fort Worth they
are worth ten cents a dozen. The Mexi¬
cans are models of patience, and will
stand on a street corner far into thc lone
hours of the night, never going home as
long as there is the slightest chance oi
securing a customer. Even on cold and
stormy nights they stay on the street,
crouched in doorways, till long past mid¬
night.
San Antonio is the Paradise of the
tamale man. Here he has a great plaza
given up to his benefit. In this open
space several scores of them collect and
after nightfall thc scene becomes animat¬
ed as crowds of customers assemble to
their regular nocturnal feast.
The habit of eating them once formed
soon becomes as confirmed as any habit
ever indulged in by man. What thc
meerschaum is to the German, opium to
the Celestial, macaroni to the Italian, the
tamale is to the Texan who has once
learned to love it. Without it life is a
barren waste, a howling wilderness.—

Peculiar Penmanship.
It is no unusual thing for thc men who
distribute thc mails to find in a batch
half a dozen envelopes which look as if
some fowl just emerging from some dark
liquid had walked across them. The
writing of lawyers and men in public life
is the hardest the officials have to strug¬
gle with. They are so accustomed to
write in such haste that even in the di-
rections of a letter they employ so many
abbreviations as to make the uddress
almost unintelligible to any but a skilled
postoffice official. Merchants and bank¬
ers also write very obscure addresses, but
they are by no means as bad as the law¬
yers and statesmen.
The worst fiend the decipherers have
to contend with is the funny young man
whose delicate sense of tasteful humor
leads him to discard such common tilings
as good English letters in tho address of
notes to his lady friends. The letters in
some very frequently give place to sym¬
bols, such as arc seen on advertising puz-
zles, and very often thc mail distributors
come across an envelope which bears
nothing but a group of pictures.— Phila¬

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Available Plant Food.
A large portion of our soil does not
j contribute it the directly to the support
| present vegetation of our
ordinary field plants. The estimate, ex-
jlusive of w ater, has indeed placed it as
high as ninety-nine per cent. The me-
: 'duuiical agents of the soil affect fertility
in influencing the plant as regards mois-
ture and fertility. The small amount of
mineral matter that is removed from the
*>il may be illustrated in the case of the
hay crop. It has been calculated that
2 1-2 tons of hay would carry away from
* n acrc no more than 400 pounds; and
the ash ingredients would amount
‘-c on 'y 1-10,000 of the soil on the sup-
position that plants rely upon tho depth
o{ “ loot from the surface for their sup-
P°rt. We cannot, by dissecting the
soil, determine just how much of it is
immediately available for plant growth,
an£ l the mode in which it nourishes a
crop is not clear.— Cultivator.

How to lif a Grindstone.
grindstone #
A is one of the worst used
implements on the farm, or in the work¬
shop. Few take the trouble to think
about their work, and consequently the
great majority of people fail to get the
most and best use from their tools. The
few who think will agree with us when
we say that a grindstone is both badly
used and badly chosen. It is too small;
too thick; it is not evenly and truly set
and centred ; it is not properly speeded,
and is turned either too fast and is made
to throw the water around, or too slow,
and so fails to do its work well; it is not
well taken care of, and is badly used.
A grindstone, to do good service,
should be at least three feet in diameter
and two and one-half to three inches in
thickness, having a bevel on each side of
thc face for grinding on. It should bc
quite free from hard spots of iron pyrites,
which are injurious to tools, although
these may be taken out with a sharp-
pointed punch. If it is not centred
truly, it will work out of shape, and
soon require trueing up. It should run
tts fast as possible, as it does work better
and more quickly. To prevent it from
throwing water, a piece of bagging
should be fastened to a staple fixed across
the frame on each end, but not so close
ss to grind It out; this will catch thc
sxcess of water and yet keep the stone
wet enough and clean it. The stone
should be kept in the shade, and never
in water, which softens it and makes
one side wear faster than the other.
I’he water-box should have a hole in it,
to let out the water and keep the stone
Iry when not in use. In grinding, it
should mostly turn from the too), and if
used otherwise, great care should be
taken by the one who holds thc tool, not
to gouge thc stone.
How Long Slum li! Cows Go Ilryt
At the recent Illinois Dairymen’s con¬
vention the following discussion was had
on this subject:
Mr. Johnson: I buy cows and feed
them—force them in fact, using them up
as milkers in a year or two, then fatten
them up for market. I let them go dry
as short a time as possible. Mr. Hostet-
ter: Cows should go dry six to eight
weeks. Mr. Johnson: In the way cows
are usually kept they should be allowed
rest. Mr. Boyd: Much depends upon
the cow. My best cows are persistent
milkers. I have trouble in drying them
off. If not allowed rest, cows generally
prove poor milkers the year succeeding
nearly a full year of milking; it seems to
undermine the constitution. Mr. Boyd
added that the calves of these persistent
milkers are liable to be weak. Mr. Du¬
bois : I keep my caws as long as they
produce well, and hence prefer to have
them go dry six to eight weeks. Mr.
-: I can get as much milk in the
life of a good cow r , by milking her nine
months, as longer. Mr. Buell: My cows
will give milk right along up to the time
of calving. What must I do—sell them
and get others? It is not always the
case a heifer milked up to calving the
second time will remain a persistent
milker; nor if from accident she goes dry
early in the season that she will ever
after be a short milker; they often re¬
gain a natural period. A calf from a
“persistent” cow, and looking just like
the dam, will be likely to inherit the
quality. Mr. Reed preferred six to eight
weeks rest for cows; does not believe
ordinary cows will make money for the
farmer, counting the dry season, at 60
cents per 100 lbs. for milk. Prof. Henry
thought there was too much guess-work
among the farmers in the dairy bnsiness.
They should know mors regarding cost
of food, care, etc. The statement was
well substantiated by the fact that no
one present seemed to give actual figures
of the last season s results.
.
now I Raiaed Plums.
Seven years ago laat spring I procured
about thirty plum trees from a Geneva
nursery, and planted them out in an old
garden. .pi They grew very fast. fa , t rp Tho hn
third year they nearly all blossomed, but
the fruit was all stung by eureulio and
dropped off. The next year they were
again full of blossoms; I was told by a
neighbor that if I would take slaked
lime and dust the trees while the dew was
on them I would get fruit, but no fruit
that year. The next year I tried two
other prescribed remedies—one was hang¬
ing tanzy on the limbs and stringing corn
cobs on the limbs that had been well
soaked in molasses water; the same re¬
sult, no fruit. The next year I tried the
remedy (prescribed by most plum grow¬
ers) the maul and sheet. In this way I
saved about a one-third crop, and proba¬
bly could have saved them all had it not
been for a long rain that kept me out of
the orchard for three or four days. In
that time I think the mischief was most-
ly done. The last year ‘effort, I determined to
make one more as I began to
get discouraged. We raise a good many
chickens. I put their coops close to the
orchard and turned in my hogs to root
up thc ground and pick up what stung
fruit would drop off; and then every
morning I scattered wheat screenings
under the trees, and while the chickens
were picking it up I went around to
every tree and gave it a good jar with a
heavy-padded maul that I fixed for the
purpose. The result last year was the
finest lot of plums that I ever saw.—

Seeds That Need IVursing.
With few exceptions all members of
the Umbellifcr® or parsley family of bot¬
any any are are more mure or ur less less difficult umicuii to iu raise raise from
Prominent among the edible species of
this natural order of plants are celery,
parsley, parsnips and carrots, with sev-
eral other valuable pot herbs. This pre-
disposition to decay when placed in damp
soil may be accounted for when we con-
sider their peculiar structure. The em-
bryo is exceedingly small, and is incased in
very hard albumen, which, together with
thc aromatic oil abounding in the fruit
having a tendency toward early decompo¬
sition, retards germination.
All 6ceds of this family require a very
slight covering of fine soil; indeed, in
the case of celery the seeds should be
sown over the surface, merely resorting
j to shade. Perhaps thc best system with
the latter is to sow on flat boxes of finely
prepared soil, then cover with moss thin¬
ly and place them in a greenhouse or
hotbed, giving careful attention to wa-
tcring always. In a short time the mi-
nute plants will show under the cover-
ing, when the latter should bc gradually
removed. After a few perfect leaves
have been formed, it is best to prick
thera out singly into a nicely prepared
frame, which will be during the mild
weather of spring.
It must be borne in mind that seeds of
all these umbelliferous plants need the ;
'
lightest possible covering; in fact, a mere
pressing into the soil, so as to be in con-
tact with the moisture. Many of the
complaiirts against seedsmen would never j
be heard if gardeners would be a little ■
more careful in planting. The after- 1
culture of celery requires more thought !
than any other of the family. The two
main requisites for success are rich soil 1
and abundant moisture; without these it
is useless to expect good crops. The old
style deep trenches for growing celery is
a waste of time and money .—Josiah

A Geoigia Humance.
About two years before thc war, near a
pretty and substantial residence near ju cat ft »
hammock swung from two stately oaks
in a grove. She was a pretty picture of
innocence and grace, and won the admi-
ration of the passers. In a meadow to
the rear a fat, meek-eyed cow reclined in
the shade, ruminating thc food she had
gathered in the cool of the morning,
Across the road from the house, ’ the girl,
and , the cow is a meadow, a branch run-
ning throxigh it, and coming up the
branch is a boy with a gun. When with-
in one hundred yards of the girl, and
about one hundred and fifty yards from
the cow, a bird flew up and sailed in the
air toward the c .w; the boy fired at the
bird, which flew on unhurt, but the cow
received a pretty strong dose of shot.
She immediately arose in fright, dashed
through the grove, caught the girl and
hammock on her horns, and rushed with
her shrieking victim about the lot. The
terrified girl became silent, and the crowd
of relatives and friends in pursuit thought
that she was dead. The wild fury of
the cow as she rushed around soon tore
the netting loose, and the girl dropped
unconsciously to the ground. She was
picked up and taken into the house, and
on examination only a few minor bruises
"ere found. The boy, thinking he was
the innocent cause of the killing of the
young girl, disappeared. It was thought
that he had perished by his own hand,
but about six years after the war a travel-
stained stranger was in the town inquir-
bl b r t° r persons, most of whom had been

hood and made his loved ones comforta-
ble. For the first time, then, hearing
that the girl was uninjured, he called on {
her. found her pretty, good, and a first-
class home woman. He put in with a
will, got her heart as his own, and the
old folks’ consent, and has been for the
last twelve or fourteen years one of the
leading men of his section. . This is fact.

Coughing.
A hair tickling the throat will keep up
a spell of coughing, if not resisted, as
I long as the presence of a large accumula¬
tion of the products of disease. Wo
: heard Brown-Sequard say in a lecture:
“Coughing is a natural, reflex action,
wholly unintelligent. Not much is need¬
ed when it can do any good at nil.
"When it cannot do any good it should
bc resisted.” In nine cases out of ten it
can be resisted by diverting the attention,
becoming absorbed in something. A
simple remedy, important to all invalids,
is, when the spasm is coming, to resist it
by , obstinately inhaling a , long , breath ., and ,
' ’
‘paying it out” slowly. Useless cough
irritates throat and lungs, and can itself
produce or perpetuate sore throat, etc.
In church it is often epidemic. An Eng-
lish exchange says: “ ‘Do not cough
the preacher down’ is the much-needed
advice given in The Sword and. Trowel.
