HOW TO (iKT RICH.
Zvery (irrnl ForJunr 'l«df by Somf Short

The desire to see something of tlie famous
mining region of the ltocky Mountains let!
me, s-vernl years ago, to puss h portion of
my summer vacation in the vicinity of the
world renowned I'on .stock Mines. While
idling nliout and absorbing, as it were, in
formation thru; -h the pores of my skin, a
similarity of tnstes brought me into dailv
contact with one of the Flood, Mackey &
O'Brien syndic ite of Bonanza Kings, and
the inelegant but forceful philosophy of
his great accumulator of wealth made a
lasting impression upon my mind.
Sitting ineevening in hisroomand enjoy
ing at once his nunilit humor and his
fragrant Havana, 1 remarked, "Captain,
one of the old proverbs recites that 'there
is no short road to wealth, 1 but you have
found one. You are still a young man, com
paratively, and are quoted a multi-million
aire." "Yes," he said, "and of all the un
true savings some of the proverbs, pop
ularly supposed to embody the wisdom of
the ages, are the most false and misleading.
Look, lor a moment, over the list of
wealthy men whose fortunes amount to $50.-
000 and upward, and point out tome, if you
can, one single individual who has not ac
n • ' ; s money by some short road to
wealth.' 1
" k uu days of man are few, and time is not
giveu in thisaue of the world for men to ac
cumulate much wealth except by means of
special openings, and by taking advantngeof
the nigh cuts." "You may be right," I said,
•'but where one man succeeds in reaching his
j»oal by a cross country road, do not the
many fail?" "No," said he, "Didn't I see
you starting out yesterday by the main road
to the camp on the other side of the moun
tain?" "Yos," I snid. "Well," he replied,
' you could have taken the trail over the
hills, sive 1 pro-.ably two hours'walking,
and reached the camp in absolute safety and
■certainty, only you did not know of the
trail. It is just so in business, the man that
wants to travel with an ox team and ride in
the wagon, must go by tiie big road, while
the fellow who goes by the trail will get
there first, and if there is only one supper to
be ha 1 at the station the cross country
traveler is the one who will eat it. Take
my own experience, which is simply an il
lustration of the way every fortune has been
made. 1 was keeping a little store here and
barely 'making longuo and buckle meet,'
when I hul nil oppoituntity to get hold of a
block of stock in the il'en infant Comestock
Mines. 'I chawed it o"er' for three days
and decided to take it in, and that
move lead naturally to al that 1 have done
since, and proved the foundation of my for
tune. I bought more stock, as 1 had
money; bought stock in other good mines,
and before 1 knew it 1 was well fixed."
"But," 1 said, "prices here are so high that
there is little chance for a man of small
means." "That's true," ho replied, "but
there are plenty of gootl properties about
here, and their success is oniv a question of
means au i good management. Then, too,
if you want to do something in mines, I will
tell you of a field where you can do bi' ter
than here, and one that in my opinion is Lre
best on the American continent. I shoula
have gone myself to it if 1 had not been so
heavily interested here tliatl could not get
away. 1 refer to the gold region of North
Georgia. There is the first, tin ,as 1 said
betore, I think the best turning region in this
country." "Why," I said, "is not mere
heard about it?"' "Because,"' ho replied,
"planting was the great absorbing industry
ot the iSouta before the war. That region
during the war was the battle ground, and
miners were forced into the West, where, in
the meantime, the centre of the industry
has become established. In Georgia you
can get hold of mines on the basis of SIOO,-
<IOO that in the West would lie worth
a million, and to make them success
ful you only nee 1 money to operate
and efficient manngeuo lit. There you can
work out doors every day in the year; labor
which is high here is cheap there; fuel and
water are abundant, and the ores generally
in larger bodies, tqually as rich or richer
lhan ours, unit the cost ot milling, owing to
the softer walls about tlio veins an I lower
wages, is less chun one-quarter of the cost
fcr the same wor* here.
Naturally I was interested to look up the
history of the t'oinstocl;, and I found that
stock quoted at Sh.i 0 per share in file early
days o; operations, sol i soon nlt<r as high as
tli'B) per share, and that upwards of t-HOO,-
000,000 were paid out in dividends to share
holders.
To a knowledge of these facts, and a sub
sequent thorough acquaintance with the
Georgia gold region, winch my friend, the
Captain, has not overestimated, may ha di
rectly attribute ! the formation of the At
lanta Gold Mining Company.
The company lias carefully selected its
property, has placed in management of the
*ame men of experience, trie t in tlie busi
ness, and now places before you the oppor
tunity to secure some of its shares at fifty
per cent, of their par value, or 15.00 per
»hire. The money you pay for these shures
wiii be used in erecting complete and suit
able reduction mills, and the officers of the
company leel sure that at the same
time than you are furnishing the
funds to put the property upon a paying
basis; you will be planting your own feet
upon one of these "short roads to wealth"
which have enabled every rich man in this
country to reach his present position.
1 he stock is lully | ai i up and non-a-s Ms
able; the total amount of stock is SIUO,OJO,
and $50,000 of this amount is uevoted to the
uses of the treasury of the company.
The company has reserved the to
advance the price ol its shares without for
mal notice, and the demand for stock is such
that an advance is now in contemplation,
but is not as yet ordered.
The Houtliern Ranking and Trust Co., of
Atlanta. l*a., one of the strongest financial
institutions m the South, acts ns transfer
agents lor the company, am to it all order's
for stock should be adoressed, accompanied
either with New York exchange or post
office money ord« r for the number ot shares
ordered at $5 each.
There are now 143,000 nautical miles
of cable under the different oceans,
which require thirty-seven specially
equipped telegraphic ships to keep them
in order.

GALLOWAY AND ANGUS CATTLE.
There is considerable difference be
tween Galloway and Angus cattle,
although both are black and hornless.
The former belong to the west coast of
Scotland, the latter to the east coast and
the neighborhood of the city of Aber
deen, whence they are called sometimes
Aberdeen or Aberdeen-Angus cattle.
These are liner in form and hair thau
the Ualloways, which have long, silky
hair aud a stouter build. Uoth are good
beeves, but the Angus are the better
milkers aud give exceedingly rich milk.
—American Dairyman.
THE COW STALL.
The cow stall is having much atten
tion and ingenuity lavished upon it, but
the horse worries aloug with the most
objectionable kind of imprisonment in
the narrow quarters where he is fastened
in a painful manner. A few days ago a
stable was burned, and a valuable liorse
was slowly roasted to death, because
held by a chain that could not be
loosened or cut. Imprisonment iu chains
is a refinement of cruelty awarded to
pirates and the most atrociou3 criminals;
and this because of the extreme torment
of it. It breaks the heart of a sagacious
horse and is the cause of those uuavail
iug protests, the constant kicking and
pawing—eloquent remonstranca against
the cruelty.—Chicago Sun.
SOWING RYE.
Rye is a crop easily raised and is sub
ject to fewer casualties than wheat and
grows freely on soils tha' will not
produce remunerative crops of other
grains. It may often be profitably sown
In the fall on light soils ns a kind ot
supplementary crop which may be used
for winter pasture wheu the ground is
frozen, and also be cut for soiliug in
earlj* spring, when the green stubble
can be turned under as a fertilizer for a
coming crop. On ground well adapted
to the 'ulture of the sweet potato rye is
an excellent crop to precede it, and,
whether pastured or cut lor soiling, the
remains of the rye when plowed under
will bo of considerable benefit to the
root crop. Then, if equal care is taken
to turn under the sweet potato vines
after the harvesting, successive crops
may be raised with but little fertilizing
material other than what is furnished by
the rye aud the potato vines. The 1
latter contain much fertilizing matter, I
which, if all saved, will go a good ways
toward making up for what is carried off
in the tubers. The trouble iu such cases
often is that the rye is so promising iu
its appearance in the spring that the in
ducement to keep it a few weeks longer
for the grain and straw is too strong to
permit of its being plowed under for
green manure. While the amount of
fertility derived from the green rjc j
would not be large, the cost of the seed I
would be small, and the seeding would j
be done at a time when farm work is
not pressing. It would therefore seem
that such a use of land at a season wheu
it would otherwise be unemployed might
often be advisable.—New York World.
CUTTING OFF THE BLOOMS.
The old fancy that cutting off the
blooms of potatoes will increase the
weight and quality of the tubers seems
to have broken out afresh, but careful
experiments made in England and Swit
zerland disprove this. The theory was
given to the world by a German ex
perimenter, who published the results of j
a series of experiments which showed [
that a considerable gain in the weight
and quality of the tubers resulted in i
cutting off the blooms.
An account of a series of experiments
made by an intelligent Englishinau seeai 1
to be so thorough that it is worth while
to give his results. His expeiiments ex
tended over a period of three seasons,
with but one variety, Paterson's Vic
toria potaso, a profuse bloomer, and at
that time in general cultivation in Eug- !
land. In no single j'ear was there any j
difference in the quality and weight of I
the potato, anil the average results
showed that there was no gaiu derivable i
from this operation.
Thorough experiments were made in ,
Switzerland to test the truth of this I
theory. The many varieties of potatoes |
grown in that country were subjected to I
tbe experiment. The test was carried j
through several seasons iu order to make
the result more accurate. At the close
ol the experiments the conclusion
reached did not corroborate the theory
advanced by the German experimenter.
The Englishman, after reviewing the
experiments made in Switzerland and
those by himself, draws this conclusion:
"This system, therefore, is of no use to j
us while we have our present varieties of j
potatoes, no matter what it may be else- j
where, and if properly tested it will iu I
all probabilities be found to be of little
value anywhere."—American Farmer.
REMINDERS.
Two beeves can never be made fat i>
a pasture that has only grass enough fo.
oue.
To keep the poultry free from vermin,
their quarters must be kept absolutely
clean.
Do not expect to sell butter at top
price to private customers unless it is top
quality.
The only way to grow heavier crops
each year is to make the land coutinually
richer.
Few farmers are so situated that they
cm afford to keep a cow merely to raise
her calf.
The best way to keep up with agri
cultural progress is to take a live agri
cultural journal.
To determine whether green-soiling
really pays, let us suggest that you try
it for yourself.
If tobacco is to be made a paying crop
it must be given the very best land on
the farm.
You can never grade up your stock un
til you begin to use bcttei animals for
breeding.
The fastest way to make money in the
dairy is to keep always weeding out the
poor cows.
Th? only way to free the farm from
weeds is to cut them always before they
goto seed.
'The best success with sheep is attained
only by those who believe in both
wool and mutton.
Stock that is continually tempted by
weak fences should not be blamed for
becoming breachy.
Sweet potatoes cannot be kept through
the winter unless you handle them gently
when harvesting.
The farm will never give you com
plete satisfaction so loug as you have to
buy fruit from your neighbor.
If the weeds have possession of the
bed this fall you can hardly expect a
good strawberry crop next spring.
If the "first-class farmer" would
maintain his rank he must keep on
studying and learning all the time.
If you expect the boy to love the farm
you must permit him to get some enjoy
ment from it as he goes along.
Something new must be planted every
week if we wish to maintain a good gar
den throughout the season.
The wrong way to make money from
hogs is by beginning to feed thein only
"when big enough to feed off."

on the farm if you ever put off until to
morrow what can be done to-day.—

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Plant deep in dry weather; shallow in
wet.
Ascertain the merits and demerits of a
cow before buying her.
Drive a horse with a rein that both
you and the horse can feel.
If you want your berry bushes to be
productive keep theui cut back.
There is generally lime enough in the
soil, but its presence is indispensable.
There aie few breeds but what will
lay well if they are well fed anel cared
for.
Buckwheat hulls produce piles in pigs.
Therefore, it is not very well to use them
as food for the pigs.
It is thought that pigs grown from old
dams exhibit greater vitality thau others,
aud arc less liable to disease.
Set the first, laying of both turkey and
duck eggs under hens; more eggs and
better fowls will be secured.
The cholera symptoms in poultry in a
nutshell are' Intense thirst, debility,
prostration, greenish droppings.
Young chickens will eat wheat or
j sorghum seed when two weeks old and
they will be better than soft feeds.
In very hot weather see that the chick
ens have some chance to get into the
shade. Too hot a sun is not good.
The enterprising farmer will hasten
the fattening of his hogs, so as to liavo
them ready for the market in the fall.
Stone drinking vessels for poultry arc
I better thau tin ones during the summer;
j water will keep cool in them longer,
j A wide wagon tire is a road maker,
I not a rut cutter. One secret of the good
roads of France is the wide tires in use
there.
Lice always attack the poorly-kept, ill
fed chickens first. Coal oil is said to bo
destructive to them, but must be used
with caution.
Having a system will save time; have
a time for feeding the fowls, for gather
ing the eggs, for cleaning out the poul
try house and for cleaning the roosts.
While liberal feeding is necessary to
secure a good growth, poultry should
uever be so well fed that they will not
j willingly forage for something to eat.
Au old gobbler or pea fowl will often
| get very troublesome in fighting the
other poultry; when this is the case the
j quicker they arc got rid of the better.
The cost of feeding a thoroughbred
flock is no greater than for scrubs, while
| such birds give their owner far more
I pleasure and he can occasionally sell
| fowls or eggs at a good price.
The farmer who raises hogs the flesh
' of which is line will be able to get more
| thau the maiket price if he once secures
i a reputation for such. The big, coarse,
' aud over-fat pork will not bring much
\ money, for the simple reason that it does
| not sell very good when placed on the
t market.
All farmers do not use coal, but those
j who do can make good use of the ashes,
j It is well known that excellent walks can
; be made of them; but they are valuable
for another purpose. The hogs will be
benefited greatly if the aslie3 are fed to
them. They correct the acidity of the
pigs stomach, and do a vast amount of
good.
The Berkshires are one of the oldest
breeds in existence, and one of their
drawing car ls is a disposition to take ou
1 from the start a great amount of flesh
j and fat. Another point in their favor is
| the immunity which they have from dis
| case. This is not saying that they are
disease proof, but on account of their
strong constitutions they are more ab'.e
•'> keep disease at bay.
Trees Which Hear But Once.
The sago palm tree bears but one crop
'of fruit. Its load of nuts is its first and
final etlort in the way of fruit bearing.
The nuts become ripe and are strewn in
I thousands around the tree until the
I great stem stands up by itself, empty and
J bare. Tha branches turn brown and
firop one by one to the ground. Inside
j the trunk the work of decay is going on
| until what at one time was a mass of
i white sago and pith becomes nothing but
: a collection of rotten brown fibers. One
i day the trade wind blows more strongly
*.ian usual and the leafless column of the
| trunk falls with a crash, destroying in
| its fall many of the young palms that
j are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before. The tali
! put or Palmyra palm, a native of Ceylon,
! is another tree which flowers and bears
fruit but once. When about eighty
j years old, which is when it has attained
its fuil growth, the flower spike bursts
from its envelope with a loud report. In
the course of fifteeu or twenty months it
| showers down an abundance of nuts,
aud this effort to produce a uumeious
j succession proves fatal to the parent.
| The fruit is round and very hard, about
the size of a cherry, and so abundant
that one tree will produce sufficient to
j plant a large district. Brooklyn Eagle.

The following is a good recipe for
making soap: To one pound of potash
add three gallons of water until it is
dissolved; then add three pounds of any
kind of soap grease, the cleaner the bet
ter, to the lye, and set it to boiling. Let
it boil slowly go that it will not boil
over. It usualiy becomes soap after
boiling from one to Ave hours. If it
boils down before it becomes sap, add
sufficient water to keep the same quan
tity in the kettle until it is soap; then
add nine gallons of water and stir well
together; when cool, this will be a beau
tiful white soap if the grease was clean.

CHECKER IIOAHD WORK.
Woven or checker board work for
cushions and anti-macassars is quite
popular and not at all difficult to make.
For hard usage the wider kind of mohair
skirt braid is most serviceable, but satin
ribbon is, of course, much handsomer.
Select two colors or two shades or the
same color and cut the ribbon into strips
of the required length; pin each strip
to a cutting board or table and weave
cross pieces of the other shade in and
out with regularity. The intersections
should afterwards be secured at the back
by an invisible stitch or two. A broader
plain ribbon or a piece of plush, match
ing one of the shades used in the weav
ing, may be sewed on for a border, and
for an anti-macassar lace or fringe can
be added to the lower edge.—New York

ABOUT COOKrNG MEATS.
The orthodox rule for the cooking of
meat, fish and fowl is to allow a quarter
of an hour to every pound; yet this re
cipe neels tj be mixed with brains.
Some families like rare, others well-done
meats; again, a joint may be unusually
thick or remarkably thin. Again, full
grown and mature meats, such as beef
and mutton, are best with the red gravy
oozing from them; while immature, or
white meats, such as lamb, veal, pork,
etc., are absolutely dangerous unless
done through to the bone. A good rule
is to allow twelve to fifteen minutes, ac
cording to the taste of the family and
the thickness of the joint, for the cook
ing of every pound of beef and mutton;
fifteen to eighteen minutes for the cook
ing of every pound of pork, veal, lamb,
ban, bacon, fish and every kind of
fowl.
Accidents happen, however. The
oven may be too hot or too cool, the tire
too slow and— what not. So a cook
should learn to know by the appearance
of the meat itself when it is sufficiently
cooked. How can this bo done? By
carefully observing the appearance of the
meat around the centre bono or bones.
If the learner be in doubt, the blade ot a
knife can be run in about half an inch
at the bone, and the meat slightly raised
and carefully examined for a moment or
1 two. After one or two trials this will
be found to be an infallible method. It
is quite right that next to the bone beef
and mutton should be red and juicy, but
if the beef be blue or the mutton has
that strange raw look peculiar to mutton
that has just felt the heat of the fire, the
joint needs a little more cooking-j while
meats should be white, even to the bone,
with the exception, perhaps, of lamb,
which many people prefer with a little
pinky juice oozing through.
Fish—Fish is not eatable till the flesh
separates easily from the bones. By
running a knife in a little way, say un
der the fins, so as not to spoil the ap
pearance of the fish, this can be judged
of.
Chops, Steaks or Cutlets—An inch
thick mutton chops or steak, put over a
clear fire on a piping hot gridiron, gen
erally takes about ten minutes to cook;
pork chops and veal cutlets a little longer
but the rule ol finding out whether they
are rooked or not by examining the bone
also holds for them.
Turkeys, Chicken and Fowl of all
Kinds—Look between the leg and the
body of the fowl, and : f necessary, slit
the skin a little with a sharp knife, and
if the flesh there be still raw looking the
bird is not cooked enough.
Salt Meats—Salt meats are not so
easily tested as fresh meats, yet even
here look at the bone. Beware of al
lowing the meat to cook so long that it
raises itself from the bones, as it were;
for then it is what is graphically known
as being "done ij rays.''—New York
