fwnllnr Orljtn of Familiar Phrase. The phrase "That betits Bb-tU" is tint nnciimnuin even now in nuny parte of tlio country, especially in the South. Iti origin is tince-idle to a race which occurred about 1840, or shortly before that year, on the to mom Fairfield track on the Jleclmnicsville turnpike Dear Richmond, Va. In those day Hob Foindcxtcr lived In Richmond. He was a, sporting man, wore fine clothes and owned a number of horses. Among the animals was one he named Pizarro, a plnin bay gelding, with black mane and tail, the latter bobbed short. There was nothing extraordinary about the horse, and nobody looked upon him as a jaccr. Hut Poindexter took a notion that he could run. lie used to drive Pizarro about Richmond hitched to a bujrgy. Ou the day that he was advertised to appear on the track great crowd was present and excite ment ran hijjh, for a gieat deal of money had been put up on other horsed To the astonishment ot everybody Pizarro beat every hoisc on the track, and tbe people went fairly wild. Bob-tailed Pizarro never made much of a record. He won two or three races and then went to pieces. For years afterward when anything extraordinary happened In that section it was said of it, "That bents Bob-tail." Baltimore American. Cooking by Flectrlcity.

A complete sot of books as may be necessary la a store is not rcotlircd. As the farm riman.ea ! mostly made up selliug and buying, the whole of the bookkeeping may be done with two books, a cash book and a ledger. Or a ledger only may bo used, having one account for the cash. The double entry system is the best and the simplest. This consists of making a double entry of each transaction, as thus: A load of hay is sold ; if for cash, the cash account is charged with the money received, and farm account, or the par ticular field account, is credited. If something is bought and paid for, cash is credited with the amount and farm is charged. If the cash is not received or paid in cither case, the parties are charged or credited, as the case may be. This is all that is necessary. Afterward, when facility has been gained, separate accounts may oe Kept lor cacu depart ment, as the live stock, dairy, or each field of tho farm. Now York Times. OCCASIONAL SUBSOILtSO. Probably uo work on the farm pays so well as that done with the subsoil plow on land that has been well undcrdrained. The ndvanta;;o of subsoiling is that one operation lats a number of years, and if the drainage is perfect, the land never loses the porosity which tho subsoil plow gives it. If new land wern drained as soon as the forest were cleared from it, subsoiling would not bo needed. The decay of roots of trees in the subsoil ranker a natural drainage way through which superfluous or stagnant water can pass. But in ninety-nine cases out of 100 drainage is not resorted to until the compacting of soil and its inability to carry off water makes drainage neces sary. Then after tho underdrain is down it takes years of freezing and thawing and clover growing to establish the old water courses again, or rather to make new ones. The subsoil plow helps this work amazingly. It should follow the drain, and it will do good to repeat the subsoiling every few years, thus enabling the soil to hold more water without being saturated, because the surplus must always pass off wherever an outlet is provided for it. American Cultivator. TTIE QUESTION AS TO STRAW. It is a vexed question what to do with straw. One says it must be worked into manure as much of it thiough the ani mal as possible, when a part of it will be made over into animal produce, and the rest, going into the manure-pile as dung, will be so finely ground up that it will rot readily ; the rest to be used as Utter. Thus all of it is utilized at home. Another would burn it, presumably on the wheat land, with the stubble, and says it is worth $2 a ton to the land so treated. Another would spread it and plow it under; and still another would sell it, the price obtained being from $2 to f 15, according to the state of the market and the condition of the straw, whether much broken or not. The fact is, no single rule will answer for all cases; each odo must decide his own case for himself, on business principles. If no animal product of any kind can be sold with profit, commercial manures can be used to advantage to replace plant food sold in the straw; and if there is a good market for it, sell it.' If all these conditions are just reversed, use it up in the barn. If it can be neither soli or fed, the pile of it is large, and the quan tity of manure made is small, then burn it with the stubble. Last of all, plow it in; a last resort, because of the diffi culty in getting it well covered, and of the slowness with which it decays when so treated; not till decayed has it any use as plant-food. The manurial value of my straw is estimated at $2 per ton ; if burned, half of this may be lost in the nitrogen, all of which passes oil into the air. If fed to the stock, it cannot but realize more than its mere manurial value, for unimal produce is worth more than manure. If threshed by hand, snd the straw is left in a good condition, little broken, it has been sold for $15 a ton. There is a wide margin here for wise judgment as to what to do with the straw. New York Tribune. RULES FOIt PLANTING THB WHITE PINB. Edmund Horsey, Superintendent of the liussey rurm, advocates the planting of the white pine. As a timber tree he claims it possesses more good qualities than any other native tree of Massachu setts. It is easy to grow from the seed or transplant when youug. It will flour ish on u light sandy soil or on a peat uicimow, aim on oruinary sou lue growth is so rapid that the tree will be lartre enough for lumber purposes in thirty -five years. When the seed is to be planted by man the cones should be gathered just before the first frost in the autumn ami placed small end up in the grass away from all enemies. After the first heavy frost, gather up the cones and shell out the seed by turning them small end downward over a vessel and giving them a rap with a stick, when the seeds will drop out. As soon as the seed is shelled it bltould be planted. The method of pluutiug must depend on the couditiou of the soil; if it is a burreu plain shallow furrows may be plowed fiom east to west, five feet apurt, turning the furrows to the south to atlurd a puitial uiu to tlis vounji plants. The seed should be planted on the south side of the open furrow, drop ping two seeds nenr each other, th;n leaving a space of four or five feet, and covering the seeds with earth enough to keep them moist, say not far from one-half an inch in depth. On rocky land, or where the soil is hard, dig out with a sharp spade a small sod where the seeds are to be planted, leaving tho sod nenr the hole on the south sido for shndo, and plant the seed the same as in furrows. In a favor able season enough seed will germinate to cover the land, but if the season be unfavorable a portion of tho land will have to bo roseeded the following year. AVhcre the land is shadod by trees germ ination will be more certain; but in such places, when the seeding pines are two years old they should be let out into the sunshine by removing the trees that shade thorn. In localities where seedling pinos that grew naturally are numerous it is not expensive to cover land with pines by transplanting the young trees; to do this to the best advantatro trees should be selected that are not over six inches in height, and in removing them a small ball of earth should bo removed with each tree, care being taken not to expose the roots to the light or the air, and it is always best to do the work on cloudy days. The trees should be set five or six feet apart, and as they grow a sufficient number should be cut out to prevent crowding. 'When large enough for box boards or coarse lumber not more than four or five trees should be left on each rod of land. Boston Transcript. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. The consumption of mutton is ltirgoly cn the increase. Poultry are early risers and need their morning meal early. The comb of a fowl may be consid ered as its health indicator. Good stock deserves good care, and good care deserves good stock. One advantage with ducks is that if properly fed they are rarely sick. Oct the guineas to roost iu or near the poultry house; they will act as guards. Ducks raised especially for market thrive better wilt out a pond than with one. Mix a little flaxseed or oil meal with their ration In feeding the moulting hens. When fowls are kepi in large numbers the risks of contagious diseases are in creased. Poultry must have every-day care, and judgment must be used in the man agement. Turnips and potatoes are best fed to poultry by boiling aud mixing with wheat bran. Better do a little and do it well rather than undertake to do too much and fail to do anything well. Steady, continuous growth is what tells nowadays. "Storing" periods play the mischief with profits. Popcorn contains more nitrogen and phosphates than Indian corn, and is therefore more valuable as food. A thousand pounds of capon meat can be grown much cheaper than you can grow the same weight of beef or pork. Ducks are hardy animals, and are not so liable to disease as are fowls. The percentage of deaths in a large flock is usually quite small. If growing stock is carried through the winter only to come out next spring weighing less than now. wintering will be a profitless operation. Some breeders think that a cross of a single-comb brown Leghorn upon Ply mouth Hocks, lirauinas, or Wyandottes, for early broilers is unsurpassed. Thee is no profit in keeping cattle and half starving them. Profit lies al together in growth, hence the greater the growtu the greater the profit. While milk may be very beneficial to hogs, yet we see it stated that the re turns do not equal one-half of those ob tained by giving it to the poultry. While it is more convenient, at least on the farm, to allow poultry a good range, yet because this is given the; should not be expected to make their own living. Those who have not given their hens an evening feed oi corn during tho sum mer had better do so when the effect of the cool nights is overbalanced by the heating qualities of the corn. Brahmas, Cochins, Plymouth Rocks and Langshans fatten more readily than some of the other breeds ; hence care must be taken in feeding or the hens will become too fat to lay well. It is not the lnrge hans that lay the largest eggs by any means. As a breed the Black Spanish lay the largest eggs, which are of a beautiful white color. All the nonsctting breeds lay white eggs. Old hens that are too fat to lay will make elegant roasters, and will pay bet ter disposed as such, than to keep for the few eggs they will lay this winter; at least our experience has taught us that. If you did not give a general cleaning to the hen house before the cold of win ter set in, then kerosene the roosts and all nitches carefully. This is the lazy man's way, aud the best plan would be to thoroughly clean the house. If you have any little chicks that are peeping around frosty mornings because they need stockings to make them com fortable, it will be humane aud money in your pocket if you take their heads off at a siugle blow with a sharp hatchet. If any farmers contemplate adding new blood to their stock they should by all means purchase the birds in the fall. The fowls aro in the best condition at that time of the year, and if they are put with the rest of the dock the best results will be obtuiued. Ducks and geese are naturally hardy aud are easily managed if they can be given a good range with a good supply of water. Ducks are usually good layers aud will, if properly fed and made com fortable, lay 100 e.'gs in a season. They begin laying the latter part of January or early in i'ebruary.

Don't let the family tret a contemnt for warmed-over dishes. When you do get up such a dish, be sure you make it so good that no fault whatever m ay bo lound with it; and do not have too man v dishes of this class. Try to cook enough. and just enough, but should there be a little left, make good use of it. In the first of this series we will toll one way of using up the bit of hash that was left from breakfast. Let us sup pose there was only a spoonful or two left, not enough for another meal, or to combine with other meat for the next breakfast. If it was chicken, or corned beef, hashed with potatoes and not chopped so very fine, chop till quite fine and mix with it a little mayonuaise dressing. Now spread it between thin slices of buttered bread, and you have a few sandwiches to serve for supper to vary the bread and butter. Some of the family are sure to be fond of sandwiches. If the bash was well intdo and the sandwiches put up in good form no one will ever guess that they were made from the hash that was left over. If there is a lunch to be put up for anyone you can give them occasionally a sandwich of this kind without buying meat for that purpose alone. St. Louis Kepublic. noussnoLD hints. Never use strong or raucid butter in seasoning vegetables. A scant cup of butter will often make a lighter cake than a full cup. Onions and apple sauce are the pecu liar accompaniments of a goose. Milk is better for being kept ovei night in small tins than if a largei quantity is kept over in one vessel. It is said that to chew parsley after eating onions will remove the odor of the latter. Orris root has the same effect. A turkey when well cooked should be evenly browned all over. Cranborry sauce or currant jelly is the proper ac companiment. . It is bettor to keep baked pastry in a cupboard than in a refrigerator, as it M ould be apt to get damp and heavy in If la later place. To keep jellies from moulding, cover them with pulverized sugar to a depth of a quarter of an inch. They will keep for years if this is done. For mildow, which is not an uncom mon plant foe, dust with sulphur or sprinkle with sulphur water. Also dig a little soot into the soil. A spray of pure oil of turpentine mixed with one per cent, of lavender oil is said to have an astonishing effect in purifying the air of living rooms, the action being attributed to the ozone formed. The crepe tissue paper which can be bought in many colors for twenty cents a yard makes the prettiest candle shades, and is much used for fruits and small sachets intended for favors for germuus and dinners. An excellent remedy for inflamed eyes is to soak a little sassafras pith in boil ing water; let it draw until the water becomes slimy and then strain through thin muslin. Bathe the eyes frequently with the liquid. A large piece of charcoal laid in the refrigerator will help to keep it sweet. It should be renewed once a week. Wbeu meat and poultry aro brought in to the bouse and are not eaten the same day, a piece of charcoal inside the poul try will keep it sweet.

A great many students of life as it passes have frequently ponlired over the problem of what a victim of alcohol would or, rather, would not do for a drink when his system craved it. Of course, they admit that there is no crime which a mm crated by liquor may not commit, but tbe question has been to what length will a man in pos session of his senses go when his appetite hungers for stimulant. Colonel Phil Vroun stine, of Colorado, told a story yesterday which illustrates what one individual would have done if a taste of the ardeut had not been forthcoming. "Along tbe latter seventies" seld the col onel, "1 found myself suddenly called upon to make a trip of about a hundred miles into southern Colorado. There was tobenostau for three days as the regular coach had left that morning, and the busines was so ur gent that I had to start at ouce. I looked around for some sort of conveyance.aa I had to carry some traps that I couldn't pack on horseback very well.and struck a fellow who had a pretty comfortable wagon and two pair of horse.-.

He said that he had been on a ten-day spree just previously, and hsd only brought half a pint with him, thinking that tiecoul i tight down hiscravinr, but he couldn't, and be knew he was going to die. 1 took pity on him when I understood his condltiou and gave him a drink. Au hour or so afterward ho asked me for another, and when I re fused, seemingly accepted the Inevitable, but begged me to let him lie down for a few minute, and I did so. Pretty soon I heard buys " 'Throw up your hands and give mo that bottle.' "I turned my head to find myself looking into my own gun, as I had taken off my belt and laid it in the wagon bottom. "'You wouldn't kill me for that bottle, would you?1 I asked. " 'I must have some liquor,' ha repliet, and I saw be was desperate. 'Promise me you will give me a drink when I ask for it and I will take your word and give you this gun ; but I must have it I' "I promised him and ho han lei me the weapon. He only asked for a drink every hour or two, aud when we reaohed our destination next day I askej bim if he really would have killed me if I had refused bim.
