miliars prefer grain that has beeu
sweated in the straw, claiming that the
wheat has got to go through this pro

in the flour: and they prefer to have
it sweat before they grind it. The
word "sweat* is used to denote a pecul

tecwiKi dam | . and the wheat that was
**of color*' or bleached before stack
ing. has its color restored. Shriveled
wheat becomes plumper. In about
four weeks after stacking, the wheat is
through the "sweat." and is ready for
threshing. If it sweats in the bin, the
grata feels damp, and in unfavorable
weather heats. A job of threshing in
the summer is dreaded by all men ; but
the werk has to be done. The cheap
en way to do it is with a separator,
driven by ten or twelve horses. These
machines will thres and clean from 400
m •**' bushels of wheat per day. The

driver standing on top of the power
with a long whip in his hand, keeps up
a constant yelling at the teams. The
circle the horses march on becomes
hard and susty. The dust rises In vast
clouds, and is swept by the strong
winds, that blow constantly in Kansas,
to the machine and stacks. The feed

the machine and keeps it in running
order. TT>e other, standing on a plat
form In front of the cylinder, grasps a
handle, and with a deft movement
shakos It up and starts it into the iron
toothed cylinder. A steady stream of
nnthreshed straw is kept going into the
machine. At the other end of the sep
arator a loose mass of chopped straw is
climbing up the straw carrier, to be
dropped on the straw stack. Men
pitch the bundles to the machine. They
are warm. The air is dense with dust.
The beat of the sun is terrific. Rap-
Idly the men become black with dust.
They apeak only to demand water.
TTwy work silently, steadily, until the
machine stops for some trifling repairs.
Then they throw themselves down to

the air is thick with dust; again the

hungry ironclad mouth of the sepa

Dropping his fork he clasps his head
with his hands and falls—melted with
the beat. He is instantly grasped and
earned to the shade; his head is cooled
off. his shirt opened, and the work is
resumed. As night comes ou the men
are tired out. Their skins are on fire,
aodreadfully have they been irritated
by the dust and chaff of the grain.
Their eyes are bloodshot; they are hun

iII*>It lor k Loot Child.
Pitiringher way through the wagon*
and vebidM that crowded Chestnut
and Main streets,' St. Louis, an old
wrinkled-faeed woman, neatly dressed
in a light calico dreas and white apron
entered the C bestnut street police sta
sia*, and, approaching the office railing
asked of Sergeant Watkins with a true
Kentucky accent:
"Have you seen uiy lost child, cap
tain r*
The evident fact that the woman was
at least forty years beyond the usual
age of the mothers of' Most children"
soewhat puaaled Sergeant Watkins,
who however, overcame his astonish
ment sufficiently to ask:
"What is your daughter's name?"
"Beckey Raney," answered the wom
an.
"And her age?"
"Seventyyears,"again she promptly
answered.
"What is your name ?"
"Jane Raney."
"How old are you ?"
"One hundred and seventeen."
"And are you looking for your lost
child who is seventy years old ?"
"Yea, captain, you see Becky will go
on sprees. Last Friday my gal weut
to the dispensary to get some medi
cine, and never come home since. She
will go on sprees.
Sergeant Watkins informed Jane
that the officers bad brought in no
"young one" of that name and age.
After finishing her business with the
sergeant the reporter approached her
and the following conversation en
sued:
"How old did you say you were?"
"One hundred and seventeen."
"And your lost daughter Becky?"
"Seventy."
"Wliy you do not look so old—you
bare all your teeth yet."
"Yes, i got a good many of 'em, but
thar all decayed but two. I'm sura I'm
one hundred and seventeen years old.
I was born In Kentucky, in—let me see
—I forget the year—in 1762. i can tell
you all about Washington's war, aud I
can tell you ail about the earthquake
New Madrid, for I was there. I was
married when I was seventeen, and
I've got three husbands buried at Al
ton. When I came to St. Louis, a long
while ago, thar were no steamboats and
thar were only log cabins here. I'm
pretty poor, now. I would have
starved to-dav, If it wasn't for an old
lady that lives near me on Second and
Cedar. She gave me five cents this
morning, and I bought bread with it.
I only had coffee and sugar myself. I
guess Becky has gone on a spree. She
works out and makes $3 a month."
AGRICULTURE.
SAVING FENCES. —This is an item that
should be carefully estimated, as It Is
one of the heaviest burdens of agricul
ture. Fences are needed only to re
strain stock; and if the stock is not
pastured no fence is needed, except for
yards, and perhaps a lane to lead the
cattle to the wood lot tor simple exer
cise. Take the fact ot fencing ninety
acres into four Ileitis, for pasturing
thirty cows or cattle. These fields
wculd be acres, and would require
720 rods of fence. Now, if this fence
cost only $1 per roil, and If we suppose
it to last twenty years, then the decay
will amount to five per cent, a year,
and the labor of annual repair Is gener
ally estimated at five per cent. Tue in
terest on the original cost at seven per
cent, would be $.>0.40, and the ten per
cent, for decay and repair $72, making
$122.40 as the aunual expense for fenc
ing a pasture for thirty head of cattle.
We shall see that this is more than the
coat of labor lor soiling the thirty head
of stock, Mr. l>avid Williams carefully
prepared the fence statistics of Wal
worth county, Wisconsin, and, after
deducting for waste lands in ponds ami
lakes ami one-half of the division fences,
he makes the annual cost for the whole
county about $1 per acre. Mr. Prince,
of Maine, goes into an elaborate calcu
lation of the cost of fenees in that State
in 1700, and the result does not vary
much from an aunual cost ot $1 per
acre. The late Ezra Cornell took a
great interest in studying this question,
and gave his view s in an address before
the Slate Agricultural Society of New-
York in ISU2, and he arrived at the con
clusion that the average cost of fencing
for every acre inclosed in that Js.ate is
$1 per annum. If then we take this as
a fair estimate in the older States, every
acre of the farm must be charged at
this rate, or a farm of 300 acres, which
usually keeps about 00 head of cattle,
would pay a fence tax of S3OO in labor
and material. The smaller the farm
and the smaller the lots the greater the
cost of fence per acre.
DRAIXINO LAND. —Draining plays a
very important part in successful and
profitable farming. No matter how
much fertilizing matter you may put
on a field, and how well you may at
tend to the crops you may plant therein,
if the place needs draining you will get
but meagre and unprofitable crops; tor
the laud will remain wet, soggy and
sour during the wet weather, and will
bake hard and solid on the surface dur
ing the hot summer months, both of
which are opposed to rapid plant
growth. The drain tile now so much
In use is by far the best; for it lasts in
finitely longer than wood, brush or
stone drains commonly put in, though
it may cost more to put such a dram
down properly, the tiles, though not
very expeusive, making up quite a sum
when a large piece is to be drained, it
pays, however, which is what the far
mer really wishes to know. Some
years ago the w riier set out in the spring
a large plantation of choice pear trees.
Owing to a dry season the trees made a
handsome growth. The season follow
ing being a wet one the trees did very
poorly, and the year after this a few of
them died. In the fall of the latter year,
suspecting the cause, several thou-and
tiles were bought—three-inch ones—
and the piece thoroughly drained. The
spring after this was done the trees
made an early and vigorous start, ami
have since not only borne heavy crops
of fine fruit, but have also made good,
healthy growths of wood and foliage.
So much for the result of drainage.
How TO SET A HEN. —Very few peo
ple know how to seta hen properly
In the first place, remember that you
can't make her sit if she don't want to.
Cut a barrel in two in the middle, then
cut out one or two staves, so that when
it is stood on its end there w ill be plen
ty ot room for the hen to pass in and
out, liace the barrel on the ground,
with the headed end up, and theu scoop
out the earth to a concave shape and
putm a very little fine hay, and the
nest is ready for the eggs. If it is not
couveu ent to put the barrel on tho
goounJ, a grass sod placed underneath
the nest will answer. It is best to place
the hen on a lew glass or worthless eggs,
at first, as she may not take kindly to
the nest you have prepared for her.
Place her on the nest after dark and she
will get accustomed to it through the
night, if she seems inclined to sit af
ter this, she may be given the eggs
which are intended to be hatched. If
the lien is allowed to leave her nest
every day, a small coop may be placed
In front of the barrel, and then she will
be sure to return to her nest. She
should always have near her a cup of
water and plenty of food. If the above
directions are followed and the eggs are
well fertilized, a good brood of ch ckeus
may be expected.
THE Brahma fowls are inclined to
obesity, and should not be fed wholly
upon corn. A Brahma hen will grow

would get poor. Wheat bran moistened

Use ouly the best bran.
That Dollar.
A stranger who was the other day
having his boots blacked by one of the
post office brigade, asked the lad what
he should do if some one should hand
him a dollar. ..
"I'd give half of it to the heathen and
spend the rest on the Fourth," was the
reply.
"That's right—you are a good boy,"
coutinued the man, "1 like to give
money to such a lad as you."
When the boets were finished he
handed the boy a niekle, and walked
off, never referring to the dollar which
the boy had been almost certain of
He had gone about half a block when
the boy overtook him and asked :
"Did you intend to give me a dol
lar."
"Oh, no. I simply wanted to see
what you wonld do with It."
"Well, I've been thinking it all
over," said the boy, "and I'll tell you
what I'd do. I'd lake it and hire soine
one to pare my feet down so I could get
number 'levens on without springing
myjintsout of line."
The stranger looked from hfs feet to
the boy and back, then aeross the stret t
to a policeman, and as lie turned to go
he muttered :
"Well, I've found out what he would
do with it, but 1 don't know as 1 feel
any better for it."
When the Bowels are Disordered,
No time should be lost m resorting to a suita
ble remedy. Hostetter's Stomach Fitters is
the most reliable and widely esteemed medi
cine of its class. It removes the causes of
oonstipauou, or of undue relaxation of th
intestin s, which are usually ndigestion or a
misdirection ot the bile. When it acts as a
cathartic, it does not giipe aud violently evac

very unlike those of a drastic purgative; and
its power of assisting digestion nullities those
iriitating conditions of the mucous mumbrane

FIVE WAYS TO REMOVE MILDEW FROM
LINEN. —(I) Wet the spot with leui m
Juice, theu spread over it soft soap and
chalk mixed together, and spread where
the hottest rays of the sun will beat
upon it for haif an hour. If not en
tirely removed, repeat the operation.
Or wet with clear lemon juice and lay
in the sun ; or soak for an hour or two
ami then spread in the sun. Or mix
softsoap, powdered starch and half as
much salt together, and moisten
freely with leaion juice; spread this on
both si 'cs of the spots and lay in the
sun. As soon as It is dry repeat the
operation, and continue till tho spots
disappear. If newly spotted, one wet
ting will be sufficient. Or wet the
spots with chloride of lime dissolved in
water, spread in the sun a few minutes
and then rinse. Repeat in case the mil
dew is not all removed, but do not let
this preparation remain more than a
few miuutes at a tune before rinsing,
even If the process has to be repeated
several times, as the chloride of 1 line
w ill injure the cloth if allowed to re
main on it too long. (2.) A solution ot
chloride of lime is the only thing I
have ever found to have any effect on
that ugly and tenacious stain. A tea
spoonful ofdry chloride to a quart of
soft water will give aboutthe necessary
strength. Soak the article in the solu
tion from ten to twenty minutes, then
dry in the sun. Repeat the process till
the stain disappears. The time required
will of course depend on the intensity
of the stain. If very deep and of long
standing, a little stronger solution may
be required. (#). Get thedryest chlo
ride of liuie you can buy, ami, tor
strong fabrics, dissolve four table
spoonfuls of It in one pint of water.
Let the mildewed article lie in this so
lution for fifteen minutes. Take it out,
wring it gently, and put immediately
in weak muriatic acid, one part acid and
four parts water. For dolieate fabrics,
the solution of llinc should be much
weaker; three or four times the quan
tity of water should be put to the lime.
Let the article lie in it only live min
utes, and theu put it into the muriatic
acid. Instantly wash thoroughly in
cold water. (4). Take Ave cents'worth
of lime, dissolve it in a pail ot water,
and put in the cloths; let them remain
three or four hours, then wash, and the
mildew will all disappear. (5). Rub
well with soap, then scrape fine chalk
and rub it also on the cloth; lay it on
the grass; as it dries, wet a little. It
will 'orne out after twice repeating the
operation.
No Goon PREACHING.— No man can
do a good job of woik. preach a good
sermon, try a law suit well, doctor a
Fiatient, or wiite a good article when
le feels miserable and dull, with slug
gish brain and unsteady nerves, and
none should make the attempt in such
a condition when it can be so easily
and cheaply removed bv a little Hop
Bitters. See other column.
SOFT MOI.AHSES CAKES. —Take one
pint of molasses, one-half cupful or but
ter, a teaspoon tul ot salt, a teaspoonful
of ground cinnamon, the same of
cloves, one nutmeg, two teaspoonfuis
of baking soda dissolved in a teacupful
of boiling water, or coffee, which is
much nicer, and gives the cake a lovely
flavor and richer color, flour enough
to make a batter tiiat will run from the
spoon ami not stlflT enough to drop;
bake half an hour.
JENNY LINDCAKK. —Two and a half
cups of sugar, one cup butter, ane cup
sweet milk, four cups flour, four eggs,
two teas))ooufuls baking powder; bake
in three sheets, (two of white); after
taking out the two of white, leaving
less than a third, add two tablespoon
fuls of molasses, one teaspoon ful of
cloves, one teaspoonful cinnamon, one
grated nutmeg; add a little more flour
to the dark; put together with rliin
frosting.
CAMPHOR BALLS. —Clarify a pound of
good mutton suet and add 2to it
three pounds of spermaceti, two of
whits wax and one ot gum camphor
cut into very small pieces. Melt these
together with gentle hear, and stir un
til the camphor is dissolved; then pour
It into moulds. It is very good for rough
hands.
REFRESHING DRINK IN FEVER. —Put a
little tea-sage, tw o sprigs of balm and a
little wood-sorrel into a stone jug, hav
ing first washed and dried them; peel
thin a small lemon, clear from the
white, slice it and put a bit ot the peel
in, after which pour in about three
pints of boiling water. Sweeten, and
cover close.
IF YOU have been drinking too much,
which however you should never do, a
dose ot Dr. Bull's Baltimore Pills will
place you in good condition again.
TAPIOCA CREAM. —One coffee-cup of
tapioca in three pints of new milk; soak
over night. In the morning set over a
kettle of boiling water; let it come to
a scald, stirring it olten. Add four well
beaten eggs and about half a pound of
white sugar; stir constantly until it
thickens. Set it aside to cool; when
cold flavor with vanilla or lemon,
and you will have a dish fit for a
king.
BOTTLE CEMENT. —For a good cement
for sealing bottles, mix three parts of
resin, one ot caustic soda and five of
water. This composition is then mixed
with half its weight of plaster of paris.
The compound sets in three-quarters of
an hour, adheres strongly, and is not
permeable like the plaster when used
alone, and is attacked only slightly by
warm water.

Electric Soap.
HERMITS —Two eggs, one and one
half cups of sugar, two-thirds of a cup
of butter or lard, one cup of currants,
one teaspoonful each of cloves, nutmeg
and cinnamon, and one teaspoonfui of
soda. Roll out like cookies; roll tiie
currants in Hour; sprinkle sugar on top
before baking.
FOAM PUDDING SAUCB —Four table
■pooufuls of sugar, two tablespoontuls
of butter, one tablespoonful of Hour
beaten to a ereatn: add the white of one
egg, well beaten; beat the whole about
an hour; then pour In a gill of boiling
water, stirring very fast. Flavor to
taste.
PEACH CORDIAL.— Make a rich syrup
of one quart of peach juice and one
pound of white sugar; when cold add
half a pint of the hest brandy. For a
drink, dilute with water at the time of
using.

Wrapping Food ID Paper.
It is a matter of dally experience on
the part of everyone who purchases
such common necessities of life as but
ter, bacon, cheese, sausages, etc., that
these goods are almost invariably
wrapped up in printed or manuscript
paper. Perhaps we might also say that
provisions for picnics and other, ham
pers are stowed away in similar cover
ings, and it will therefore, not be amiss
if we call attention to the factthatdan
gerhas been discovered to lurk in these
familiar wrappings. In the case of
printed paper, the characters have of
len been transferred to the cheese or
butter, ami either they are cut away
by the observant cook or they are un
noticed, and in due course become as
similated in the process of satisfying
hunger. It is supposed that the ink or
the paper itself may possibly by some
chance contain something deleterious.
But written paper is even more likely
to be hurtful, inasmuch as in writing
the paper has been inclose contact with
the hand, which not improbably may
be giving off a perspiration that may
enter the pores of the paper and may
there ferment, not with advantage to
health In the event of any portion of
the manuscript being allowed to ac
company the food down unsuspecting
throats. This subject has called lorth
some eonespondence'in certain Ger
man papers, and though we would not
attach absurd importance to it, it may
still be said that clean, unused paper
is so cheap that provision dealers have
small excuse for using either printed
or written matter for wrapping up
their commodities.
