"Large space," they say, "will continue
to be given to literary and art themes, to
disensinoos of social (mations, to critical
and speculative essays, to papers, original
and selected, that in any way are rely
to interest intelligent people, or which

A MYSTERIOUS LAKE
Laurel Bill is one of the highest of the
range of mountains extending from Lib
erty to Ralston. -From this mountain,
southward, is a wilderness 'of many miles
in extent broken only 'by - the Lycotning
_ valley on the eact, awl Pine creek on the
•. west. Our Laurel Hill passes the old
State road, surveyed from Trout Run to
Corning, N. Y., and used while the :In
dians yet inhabited - tha country. Tradi
tion tells of many fights in those days be
t w een the pioneeri and the natives. In
this wilderness not many miles froth Lau
rel Rill is a sheet of water that bears the
• name among the people living near of the
" Mysterious Lake." The mystery about
• the lake is that it has never been seen-ex
cept by • persons lost in the woods and
that they have never been able to find its
a second time. A land surveyor was lost
in the woods one day in midwinter and
came upon the lake. It was covered with
ice awl , the 'peculiarity about it was that
the edges appeared banked 'up. as if by
the hands of man. The surveyor - found
, .
his way home, but although he has made
- several attemps, has never been able' to
find the Joke again. Another man came
- upon the lake in the spring and noticed
many trout in the water. lie observed
the same peculiarity in its banks. as re
marked by the 'other. Others have come
upon the lake when out of their way and
all give the same account of it. 'artier
• have been organized for tt•e purpose of
finding it, but their search has always
proved futile. Some of the 'old German
people•who live just north of the trionn._
tains are strong believers in witchcraft,
and aver that the lake is the work of evil
spirits. Whether such a body of water
exists or whether it is - only in
-the imagin
ings of easily frightened people. lost in
the woods; it is certain 'that the " Myste
rious_ Lake" is the subject of much spec
ulation among the people who-live in the
vicinity of Laurel hill.—C raton Sentinel.

is: surpriehig how few really
good Orchards we are able to find in
no - good an apple section as this. It
would seem that the majority of, far
ina* fusee an ides that st. fruit tree
after it la once set out needs no fur
ther ittetition, and hence manyor
chards are left to follow the incline.
Lions of their own wild nature.
The orchard is a portion of the
farm that too often suffers- Deets:L.
Fruit trees whose trunks and branch
es are disfigured with lusty Imola
and black dead limbsi which _make .
them unpleasant to - the eye of the
thrifty, neat farmer, are too frequent
ly se m. They indicate carelessness
on thepart of the owner which is
poor economy, fors little labor and
expense expended on an orchard
each year will be well spent.
A good orchard with proper man
agement will usually pay as good a
percentage on the -investment_ as or
dinary farm crops. The cost of tak
ing care of the fruit trees is but , tri
fling compared with the expense 'of
growing -other-crops, but it will not
do to neglect - them altogether. Ma-
Dilte must be applied if the trees are
'to yield good crops. Some sort of
cultivation is also highly beneficial
with most soils.
We believe there is no better way
of manuring! and cultivating an or
chard than to use it as- a hog pas
ture. Swine confined in an orchard
will not only keep the soil about the
trees well manured and tolerably
well cultivated, but they will alsodo
great good by destroying destructive'. ,
insects which are in the early fallen
apples, or io the ground beneath the
trees. Besides, the orchard usually
makes a convenient; and desirable hog
enclosure, as the. defective fruit, of
value otherwise, will be turned to
good account We refer in this case
to medium.sized or fall-grown trees.
Small young-trees - Should be pro
tem.&
Fruit trees should be pruned ve
ry year. The season is not so im
portant prOvided it is not Yieglected,
yet- we have orged that the, work be
done.during the mild days in winter,
when there is little else to do.

of ,Orcbards:
The Benefits of Ensilage.
The pseservation of green fodder
by the system of ensilage has become .
a subject of much interest and com
ment. On many farms throughout
the country the system is being fol
lowed-with good results, and many
who have had _practical experience
with the.sdbject report decided ad- -
vantages for it. Others,.hoiever, in •
writing concerning ensiLsge, 'have
said things that- tend ,to discourage
'farmers from trying this 'new meth:
od of saving fodder. Our opinion of -
the question, we are to say, is
not founded on personal experience,
but , from what we have gathered•
from the experience or others as
communicated to the agricultural
press. From what we can learn con
cerning the ensilage, we are inclined
to beliere• that the systep would
prove profitable to - many farmers in .
this locality. It is &question of vast'
importance with many' farmers who
town high priced land near the city,
how! th ey.shall manage their farms
to make them pay a reasonable per-
centage on their value. We hare
found it utterly impossible to make
our farms do this by following the •
common system of farming—raising '
stock and grains. It is in such cases,
we believe, where the system of en- -
silage will yield the_
- best results. 'lrk
localities where land is cheap and la
bOr high there is less room, for a
margin ; and' it is doubtless cheaper
to winter, stock in the usual way, on
dry fodder and grains. Good bay
can nearly always be disposed of by
fanners living near the city at pay-'
ing. Prices. If, then, we can make
green fodder. preserved, by the sys. •
tem of ensilage, take' the place of
hay, we will hare a crop to put upon
the market—which we hare hereto-.
fore consumed at home. The. value
of the system, to fatmers must de
pend on the feeding value of the fixi
-der as it is taken from the silos, sls
compared with good hay or dry corn
fodder. It has been stated by good ,
authority that two tons of ',ensilage -
'corn fodder are worth as much as ,
one ton of good timothy hay. Our
authority is John M. Bailey, of
"Winning Farm," Billerica, Massa
chusetts, who has had much experi
ence with ensilage and has tried
many careful experiments. relating .
to the subject. He says: '•My ex
periments thus far satisfy me that
the value - a corn kidder is doubled
by the 'softening and fennentive pro
cess which. it undergoes in -the Silos;
that, two tons of it-are worth as

If* Mr. - Bailey is correct in his

Receipt for Curing Meat.
As the season has arrived 'when
curing meat is in order we repfiblfsh
to of old, our famous receipt, for cur
ing beef, pork, mutton, ham./ etc , as
follows: To one gallon of water
take one and one-half pounds of salt,
one-half pound' of sugar, one-half
ounce of saltpetre, and one-half
ounce of potash. 'Omit the potash
finless you can get Abe pure. article. ,
Druggists usually kcip it. In this
ratio the pickle, can . be increased to
any quantity desired. Let theie be
boiled together until all the dirt from
the sugar rises to the top' and, is
skimmed off Then throw i into a
tub to cool, and when, cold 'pour ° it
over yofir beef or pork. The meat
must be well covered with pickle,
and should not be put down foe - at
least two days .after killing, during
whith time it should be slightly
sprinkled 'With powdered *saltpetre,
which removes all the surface:blood,
etc., leaving the meat fresh and
clean. Some omittoiling the 'pickle,
and find it to answer well, thOpgii
the operation of boiling phrifies the
pickle by throwing off the dirt al
ways to be found in salt and sug,sr.
If this receipt is' strictly followed it
will require only a single trial
to prove its superiority over the
common way, or most ways,' of pit
ting down meat, and will not SOQII
be abandoned for any Other. The
meat is unsurpassed for sweetnes4
delicacy and freshness of color;,
