PAYING FOR TUB MILK'S QUALITY.
The Vermont creameries have adopted
the system of paying for milk according
to quality, or rather, amount of butter
fat in it. In June of last year the poor
est dairy received fifty-six cents per hun
dred pounds for milk, and the best one
eighty-one cents per hundred pounds.
In October last, at this same creamery,
the poorest milk brought ninety-two
cents, and tho best $1.50 per hundred
pounds. Does this not show that it pays
the milk producer to keep good cows,
feed well, and produce a fine quality of
niilk.—American Dairyman.
NITRATE OF SODA FOR TOMATOES.
Three years' experiments with nitrate
of eoda by E. B. Voorhecs, of the New
Jersey Station (S.B. 1892), show that for
tomatoes nitrate of soda alone is superior
to either bnrnyard manure or mineral
fertilizers, but is less effective than the
complete manure. On land previously
liberally fertilized with phosphoric acid
and potash, nitrate soda used alone, in
small quantities, gave the best aud most
profitable results. With the small quan
tity of 160 pounds of nitrate per acre,
the second application was advantage
ous, but .''2o pounds per acre was most
effective. The soils used were a saudy
loam in Southern New Jersey, in a soc
tion Itrgely devoted to raising tomatoes
for the early markets, and a clay loam in
Northern New Jersey. The maximum
yields of tomatoes seem to depend upon
a full supply of immediately available
nitrogen, but as phosphoric acid and
potash are also needed, the farmer should
know the capacity of his soil for the
crop in order to economically use com
mercial manure.—American Agricultur
ist.
I THE SHEEP TAPEWORM.
Sheep are infected by a species of
tapeworm which exists in tho brain, but
in its larva stage only. The mature
worm inhabits the dog, and it is due to
the presence of the dog that sheep be
come infected. Indeed, both nnimals
are necessary to the existence of this ptr
asite, which is known as Caniurus cere
bralis, and also as Hydatus cercbralis,
because it is enclosed in a watery blad
der which is fouud in fie sheep's braiu
just under the skull. This creature has
several heads, each of which is anued
with a circle of hooks by which it is at
tached to the cohering membrane of the
brain, and a tucking disk, by which it
draws in its nutriment. As it increases
iu size it causes pressure on the brain,
tho result of which is a disturbance of
the nervous functions and the irregular
movements of the animal, which are
well known to indicate the existence of
the parasite in the sheep. The sheep
turns around on one side or the other as
either side ol the brain may be affected
by the injury, oi if the centre of the
brain is affected the sheep raises its head
and stumbles forward.
The sheep take in the eggs of the
tapeworm that are discharged by the
dogs on the grass, aud these being swal
lowed are hatched in tho sheep's stom
ach. The young worms thou penetrate
the tissues into the veins, by which they
find their way to the capillaries of the
brain, where they lodge and grow to
their intermediate stage, often attaining
a size of two inches, including the blad
der and its liquid coateuts. Some vet
erinarians who have had sutlicient ex
perience are able by the symptoms above
mentioned to locate the bladders, and
either puncture them, aud so destroy the
worm, when the bladder becomes ab
soibed without injury, or they open the
skull by trepanning and remove the in
truder. When a sheep thus diseased
dies, which is the most frequent result,
and the carcass is left to tho dogs, the
immature worms are swallowed, aud ma
ture in the dog, to be voided from time
to time in the usual segments, that ate
filled with eggs, and these are picked up
by the sheep. Those under tivo years
old are most subject to the parasite.—
New York Times.
♦ I.ITILE PLAGUES.
It is a singular fact that the mo3t for
midable enemies ol man arc among the
smallest of created things. A devastat
ing storm extending over half a con
« tinent, a furious cyclone, an earthquake,
seem more terrible than the work of un
almost microscopic insect; yet the actual
amount of injury done by any ol these
gigantic forces is often of very slight
account compared with the damage
wrought by one or more of the "infinitely
little," but innumerable, hints that do
their fatal work uuhoard and unseen.
Consider, for example, what vast mis
chief has been done by the Hessian lly,
the clinch bug, the army worm, tin
codlin moth aud other pests of the field
and orchard. And sometimes the ut
most efforts of man are utterly without
avail to stay the ravages of these tiny in
vaders. They march 'Across his fields of
waving grain like "an anuy with ban
ners" and leave a waste behind. It is,
in fact, the most serious of all agricul
tural problems which is prcnlltcd by
these insect foes. Fight them how Wr
will they "come up siuiliug" every few
seasons to plague the fanner'* soul and
deplete his pocket.
It is calculated that the Colorado
beetle has cost the farmers uf this couuin
hundreds of iniilious of dollars siuce it
began its eastward uiau h. The clinch
bug ha* frequently roblted the Western
farmers of #50,000,000 til it siugle )uti

suddenly. A VJitnry Dutchman could
have nothing in attempting
to shut out the sea; but when all Holland
took hold of the work, tho proud waves
of old ocean were stayed. It is by co
operation that the ravages of man's in
sect enemies will be terminated or sub
stantially lessened, if at all.
Take, for a familiar example, the cur
rant worm. In some localities, whore
this wholesome fruit was formerly
grown in large quantities, it has been
practically given up on account of the
ravages of the worm. Yet this pest is
suppressed with very littlo trouble by
the prompt application of white helle
bore. The trouble has been that while
otic person would do his duty in sup
pressing the worms ou his own bushes,
his next door neighbor would abandon
his to the tender mercies of the worms
which were left to breed in peace for an,
other season's foray on both plantations.
If every cuirant grower in a given local
ity would do his whole duty for a sea"
son or two—or three, perhaps, to make
sure—the plague would be suppressed
for a long period.
The same co-operative effort would ac
complish great things with many other
insect pests. Sometimes it is esential
for the State to undertake the work, as
in the case of black kuot on cherry and
plum trees and the gypsy moth in Mas
sachusetts. But much might be accom
plished by combined private enterprise,
and it ought to be possible to awaken in
every agricultural community a public
spirit which would make itself effective
for the suppression, so far as possible, of
all the "little plagues" that seriously
menace the farmer's prosperity.—New
York Mail and Express.

BEATEN BISCUIT.
A beaten biscuit is a Southern dish.
It calls fur two quarts of flour, a tea
spoonful of salt and two heaping table
spoonfuls of lard, and milk enough to
make a stiff dough. Flour it and roll
it out, then lay it on a stone slab or firm
wooden board and pound it with a
mallet or large rolling pin. The dough
must be pounded one hour, until it rises
in blisters and cleaves from the board.
There is a machine for pounding this
dough to be found in Baltimore, where
this is a favorite bread.

can otten be neatly mended by its use.
Lay the edges of the torn fabric as close

them; lay a piece of the tissue on the un

SHERBETS AND WATER-ICES.
Sherbet in its literal sense means s
cool ilriuk. It is of Oriental origin, but
in this country it has co.ne to mean a
frozou mixture of fruit, or fruit juice,
water and sugar.
There is a distinction, however, made
between water-ice and sherbet.
Sherbet ha«, in addition to the fruit
juice and water, cither sugar sirup, white
of egg, or gelatine, to give it sutlicient
viscousness to entangle aud hold air when
bcateu in a freezoi; so that sherbets un
less colored by the fruit used, will be
white and opaque like snoiv.
Water-ices, on the contrary, arc made
without the white of egg, sirup or gcla
tino, do not entangle air, aud arc trans
lucent, nnd what might bo called
"watery" in appearance.
Both sherbets and water-ices are de
licious when made with fresh ripe fruits,
and both may be enriched by the ad
ditioj of sweet cream if desired.—St.

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN SOUP.
For real solid nourishment and palat

and loathed by the whole human race,but
the rich, yet delicate, rice-thickeued,
highly-peppered chicken soup that our
grandmothers always gave us when we
went to spend the day with them, and
which to this day carries along with its
odor the intermingled fragrance of vel
vet roses and lavender and rue.
For this soup you may take the very
oldest and toughest of hens, requiring
nothiug save that she be very fat. Cover
this fowl with cold water and put to

Tkr Properly Hint I'rnsprrm of ibf Atlanta
(•old Mining Co. Fully Described.
The two articles appearing recently in
your journal have called forth such a flood
of inquiries in relation to the plans, pros
pects, etc., etc., of the Atlanta Gold Mining
Company, that the company has requested
your correspondent to answer through the
medium of the press (he many qu«slions
which otherwiso would require a score of
letter writers.
The pro|M>rty upon which the Atlanta Gold
Mining Company proposes to begin opera
tions is situated about miles east of
Dahloneia, da., consists of a forty-acre
trnct of laud, which is crossed in a direction
slightly cast of north by the famous Cal
houn (iold Belt, having on this lot a width of
about 150 fett. The entire belt is com
posed of alternate strata of soft s'ate and
quartz, all Ifnring more or less gold. At
different, times within the past twenty years
mere or less mining has been done upon
this lot, and while the work has mainly been
confined to a very small portion of the vein,
and has always la-on of a cru le and desul
tory character, the returns in gold have
been extremely gratifying, and in several
instances of sufficient magnitude to put the
miners, who, from time to time, have held
leases upon the lot, in very strong financial
circumstances. The total cost of all the
work thus far done upon the lot would not
under the direction of a competent mining
engin'er, provided with proper appliances,
exceed $.">000, and the total gold derived
from this work, covering not over two acres
of tha forty acres, is considerably over ♦60,-
000.
The vein or lead is well defined through
out the wholo length of the lot, about one
quarter mile, and has been explore 1 at a
number of places by shafts and tunnels,
proving its continuance in size and richness
from one end of the lot to the other, n fact
which is further evidenced by the valuable
and rich mining properties lying upon the
extension of this lead, both north and south
of tho property of the Atlanta Gold
Mining Company. The shafts sunk
upon this lead have gone to a depth of
about forty feet, and have, without excep
tion, followed ('own quartz veins which grad
ually increase! ins z> and richness as depth
was attained. Hitherto the mining has been
conducted principally with water, except
where shafts were sunk, and the ore passed
through sluice boxes depending s ilely for a
means of separation upon the gravity of
the gold, and consequ 'ntly allowing much
rf the fine gold and all tho gold contained in
the undecouiposed sulphurets to run to
waste. This loss, re-ulting from causes noted
above, has amounted to fully one-half the
assay value of the ore, as demonstrated by
determinations made with great care and
exiictness by the company.
The Atlanta (fold Mining Company now
proposes to putin operation machinery for
mining which will greatly cheapen the cost
of the ore per ton delivered at the mills,and
appliances that will save at the mill not
alone th i heavy free gold, but all finer par
ticles, and the gold contained in tho sul
phurets as well.
The experiments made by tho company
have demonstrated that a mill with a capac
ity of tweuty tons can be supplied with ore
for many years and will yield an annual
profit ot 112 100,0(10 or upward. The average
assay value of the ore approximates f2"> per
ton. and a modern mill properly equipped,
costing $12,000 to $14,0 0, in the hands of an
expirieneed inillman, should save at least 8>
per cent, of the lull assay valu*. The
Atlanta Gold Mining Company has tieen in
corporated with a capital of fIOO,OOO, in
shares of $lO each, fully paid and non-assesa
nlile, and one-half this capital stock, or
tso,ii(K), has been placed in the treasury as a
working capital.
\ portion of this treasury stock, sufficient
to cover the cost of the null and SUCH other
improvements as the company has in contem
plation, is now offered for sale at 50 per cent,
of its par value, or $. r > per share. The
Southern Banking and Trust Company of
Atlanta, (>'a., is the transfer agent of the
company, and all orders for shares shoul 1
lie addressed to them or to the Atlanta Gol 1

Seeing With One Eye.
A person tnuy see as far with one per
fect eye as with two, but he can not see
as clearly; for the advantage that bino
cular, or double, vision possesses over
monocular or one eyed vision, is that the
former, by allowing the observer to catch
tight ol the object from two different
points of view, gives him at once some
itlt a of the proportions of its different
parts.
1 Sut though fliis is true in theory, in
practice the judgment interferes and the
judgment has b en educated and in some
, measure rendered independent of th'i
! services of binocular vision, by experi

'I bus a innn with only one eye Is never

The advantages of binocular vision
may be thus further illustrated: In

| It'-mcdy lor Squeaking Shorn.
"A mini who wears squeaky shoes is
; wove than a kiss without a mustache
acci nipaniincut," said a modern to
a Mail and Kxprcss man last night. She
directed I.rr glance towaid a young man
who was crossing a tiled floor. "Some
women know more than men, and if 1
had that young man in my care for ten
| minutes 1 would give him some good ad-
I vice, lie does not make much money
and cannot alford to buy expensive
I shoes, and h.ts to be content with ready-
I made ones.
"Nearly al! ready made shoes squeak,
; and the reason is this: When the inner
' mid outer »ouls are put together there m
| generally some gilt between tin in, and
the action of the foot causes the little
pibbles, which are harder than the
leather, to work like the ball hearings
ol a bicycle, and thus the squeak. A
dealer told me a way to remedy this.
I When your shoes squeak yo to a shoe
: maker and have him put a p«g in the
middle of the sole ami there will he uo
more loud proclamations.
•'Another th'.ug, when you buy a ne*
, pair of shoes and they hurt you, put wa
ter Hi them aud let it remain tor a mil
-1 ute, then pour it out, and if your shoes
hunt or hint you after that you can say
lam wrong The watei lakes all the
: natuial heitt out of the leather, and mike
the shoes comfortable." New York

Squeaking Sands.
Singinc sands arc found in many parts
of the United States, but squeaking
rands arc not so common. There is inly
one place in this country where the
squeaking sand is found, and that is a
small plain in South Colorado. The
singing sand emits a musical sound only
when dry and looses this property on be
ing dampened. The squeaking sand, on
the other hand, is silent when dry and
squeaks beet and loudest when moistened.
The sound it gives forth is by no meant
loud,but somewhat resembles the squeak
ing of an armchair. It sounds when
rubbed between the fingers or when
placed in a nun 11 bag and violently
struck but the cause of the sound is i>
mystery.—St. Louis Globe-Demociat.
Lightning as a l'lioto;ra|»hcr.
On examining the field glasses used »

near the summer resorts, West Baden an
French Lick, it was found that one <■

It must have been caused by lightning
as the glass was left on the upper pla
form of the observatory, and the iir
pression is of such flowers as arc grow j
ing on Mount Arie. The quality of th
glass is not impaired at all, though the
impression seems togo clear through the
lenses.

vith Dyspepsia. I had a fullness
after eating, and a heavy load in the

seven years. I used August Flower
