Peculiar Origin or a familiar Phrase.
The phrase "That beats Bob-t»il" is
not uncommon even now in many parts
of the country, especially in the South.
Its origin is traceable to a race which
occurred about 1840, or shortly before
that year, on the famous Fairfield track
on the Mechanicsville turnpike near
Richmond, Va.
In those days Bob Poindexter 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 plain bay gelding,
with black mane and tail, the latter
bobbed short.
There was nothing extraordinary
•bout the horse, and nobody looked
upon him as a laccr. But Poindexter
took a notion that he could run. He
used to drive Pizarro about Richmond
hitched to a buggy. On the day that
he was advertised to appear on the track
a great crowd was present and excite
ment ran high, for a gieatdealof money
had been put up on other horses. To
the astonishment of everybody Pizarro
beat every boise 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 beats Bob-tail."—Baltimore

Cooking by Electricity.
An electrical cooker is one of the
novelties. If the claims for the inven
tion can be substantiated, the woes of
the long-suffering housekeeper are about
to vanish forever. The comforts of home
will be secured without any of its
worries. Smutty, smoky, disagreeable
coal and frisky, treacherous gas is to
give place to electricity. Beefsteaks will
be cooked by lightning. The drowsy
housewife can push an electric button
before she arises in the morning and the
tea-kettle will be humming a merry wel
come when she gets down to the kitchen.
The daj of tbe pine board and the
butcher's knife is doomed. The public
is destined to be treated to no more har
rowing tales of kerosene oil explosions.
And all this, the enthusiastic inventor
claims, is at a marvelously low cost.—

REMEDY FOR TRICK Mils.
Thick milk from a heifer is no doubt
due to something in the heifer. The
blood is not in a healthy state, and some
treatment is necessaay. Give a pound of
epsom salts dissolved in a quart of warm
oatmeal or linseed gruel, and note the
result; if not effective, repeat in two
days. It may be that the feed or the
water is at fault, and this should be
looked to. Sometimes neglect to give
salt regularly has this result. This thick
! cning of the milk is caused by a fer
mentation in it that may be due to
various causes, but it is mostly caused
by the condition of the cow. Sometimes
it has been caused by impure water, and
sometimes by uncleanliness of the pails
or pans.—American Dairyman.
FARM ACCOUNT 9.
The simplest form of accounts is the
best for a farmer. A complete set of
books as may be necessary in a store is
not requirod. As the farm business is
mostly made up selling and buying, the
whole of the bookkeeping may be done
with two books, a cash book and a
ledger. Or a ledger only may be 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 be kept for each depart
ment, as the live stock, dairy, or each
field of the farm.—New York Times.
OCCASIONAL SUBSOILING.
Probably no work on the farm pays so
well as that done with the subsoil plow
on land that has been well underdrained.
The advantage of subsoiling is that one
operation lasts 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 were drained
as soon as the forest were cleared from
it, subsoiling would not be needed. The j
decay of roots of tree 3 in the subsoil |
makes a natural drainage way through i
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 the undcrdrain 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 oil wherever
an outlet is provided for it.—American j
Cultivator.
THE qtJESTION AS TO STRAW.
It is a vexed question what to do with
straw. One says it must be worked into
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
litter. 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 i? 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 sls, 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
i cases; each one must decide his own case
j for himself, on business principles. If
i no animal product of any kind can be
I sold with profit, commercial manures can
: be used to advantage to replace plant
j food sold in the straw; and if there is n
good market for it, sell it. If all these
conditions are just reversed, use it up in
the barn. If it can be neither sold 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 nnimal produce is worth more than
manure. If threshed by hand, and the
straw is left in a good condition, little
broken, it has been sold for sls a ton.
There is a wide margin here for wise
judgment as to what to do with the
straw.—New York Tribune.
RULES FOR PLANTING THE WHITE PINE.
Edmund Hersey, Superintendent of
the Bussey Farm, 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 young. It will flour
ish on a light sandy soil or on a peat
meadow, and on ordinary soil the growth
is so rapid that the tree will be large
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 and
placed small end up in the grass away
from all ocemies. 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 should be planted.
The method of planting must depend
on the condition of the soil; if it is a
barren plain shallow furrows may be
plowed from east to west, five feet apart,
turning the furrows to the south to
| oflord a partial snade to the young
plant*. The aeed should be planted on
the south side of the open furrow, drop
ping two seeds near each other, thin
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 the sod near the hole on
the south side for shade, 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 the land will
have to be reseeded the following year.
Where the land is shaded 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
them.
In localities where seedling pines 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 advantage trees should be
selected that are not over six inches in
height, and in removing them a small
ball of earth should be 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 largely
on the increase.
Poultry aro early risers and need their
morning moal 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.
Get the guineas to roost in or near the
poultry house; they will act a<< guards.
Ducks raised especially for market
thrive better without a pond than with
one.
Mix a little flaxseed or oil meal with
their ration in feeding the moulting
hens.
When fowls are kept in large numbers
the risks of coutagious diseases are in
creased.
Poultry must have every-day care,
and judgment must be used in the man
agement.
Turnips and potatoes aro best fed to
poultry by boiling and 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 com, 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 smell.
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 Rocks, Brahmas, 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 tho greater
the growth 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 moTe convenient, at least
on the farm, to allow poultry a good
range, yet because this is given they
should not be expected to make their
own living.
Those who have not given their hens
aa evening feed of corn during the 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 large hsns 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.
A.ll the nonsetting 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, and the best plan would be
to thoroughly clean tho house.
If you have any little chicks that are
peeping around frosty mornings because
they need stockings to make thorn com
fortable, it will be humane and money
in your pocket if you take their heads
off at a single 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 are in tho best condition at
that time of the year, and if they are put
with the rest of the flock the best results
will be obtained.
Ducks and geese are naturally hardy
and are easily managed if they can be
given a good rauge with a good supply
of water. Ducks are usually good layers
and will, if properly fed and made com
fortable, lay 100 egga in a season. They
begin laying the latter part of January
or early in February,

A REGAL DISH.
Have you ever heard of a crown ot
lamb? It sounds regal, but it is nothing
more than an appetizing side dish made
as follows: Take a rib of young lamb
with the thick under bone cut away.
Have the shanks "frenched," and the
meat between them removed. When this
is tightly rolled, the bones standing up
ward in a circle, it has the effect of a
crown. Inside the "crown" lay some
finely cut spinach, gravied and garnished
with slices of hard egg. This looks
inviting, and its appearance is in no way
deceptive.—New York News.
WHOLESOME PUDDING FOB CHILDREN*
A wholesome pudding for children,
and one often tempting to their elders,
is made from stale breadcrumbs and tart
apples. Butter the bottom of a pudding
dish and putin a layer of apples pared
and sliced quite thick, strew the apples
with grated crumbs, then with bits of
butter, and a very little spica, either
cinnamon or allspice, or both, if liked.
Fill the dish in the same way as at first
with alternate layers of bread and apple,
with the seasoning. Sweeten with a
half cupful of molasses, mixed with the
same quantity of boiling water. The top
layer of the pudding should be bread
crumbs. Set the dish in the oven in a
pan of boiling water. Cook until the
apples are tender and the top is a rich
brown. Serve as soon as it comes from
the oven, with sweet creati: or fairy
butter.—New York Post.
WARMED-OVER DISIIE9.
Don't let the family get a contempt
for warmed-over dishes. When you do
get up such a dish, be sure you make it
so good that no fault whatever may be
found with it; and do not have too mauy
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 tell
one way of using up the bit of ha3h that
was left from breakfast. Let us sup
pose there was only a spoonful or two
left, not enough for another meal, or to
coinbiue 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 tine
and mix with it a little mayonnaise
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 fon 1 of sandwiches.
If the bash was well made 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. Ljuis
Republic.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Never use strong or rancid butter io
seasoning vegetables.
A scant cup of butter will often m%ke
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 ovet
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. Cranberry
sauce or currant jelly is the proper ac
companiment.
It is better to keep baked pastry in a
cupboard than in a refrigerator, as it
would be apt to get damp and heavy in
the latter 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 i9 done.
For mildew, which is not an uncom
mon plant foe, dust with sulphur or
sprinkle with sulphur water. Alio 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 germans
and dinners.
An excellent remedy for laflamed 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.
When meat and poultry are brought in
to the house and are not eaten the same
day, a piece of charcoal inside the poul
try will keep it sweet.
A fcandy receipt for curing hams Is
thia: Take four quarts of salt, foui
ounces saltpetre, four pounds of brown
sugar dissolved in water. Pack one
hundredweight of hams closely togethei
and pour this pickle over them; let
them remain ten days and then smoke.
At this season of the year, when many
heavy articles, counterpane', etc., are to

potash, one ounce salts tartar, one ounce
muriate of ammonia; add the clothes
and boil half an hour; rinse through two
waters and dry.
