PASSING OF THE MUSTANG.
Wild Horsen Are No Longer of Any
Value.
The wild horse of Texas has become
one of the greatest nuisances within
the border of the Lone Star State. Not
satisfied with its own freedom the wild
horse lias adopted the tactics of the
Apache and of the Sioux and stam
pedes its brethren. Novelists have
taught us to believe that the wild mus
tang is emblematic of freedom pure
and noble. The Texas ranchman re
gards him as an emissary of the evil
one, for he brings to his ranch despair
and loss.
For the last decade the droves of
horses that run in Texas have been
steadily increasing in number and
strength. Years ago it was worth
while to catch these animals to sell.
Nowadays it is hard work to sell a
mustang for use even as a cow pony.
Formerly it was the case that there
■was no horse for the stockman, the
cattle-grower, like the Texas pony
which had run wild for the first four
or five years of its life. Lean and
sinewy as an Arab with the endurance
of an Indian and a capacity for steady
speed that can only be likened to a
locomotive he was a treasure. Well
seasoned, a cow pony could be ridden
100 miles in a single day and come out
of the encounter with fatigue with fly
ing colors.
The wild horse, however—that same
animal which the 10-cent novelist de
scribes as the "fiery untamed steed"—
believes the sweets of freedom are so
very sweet that all his bretbern lu
txindage should share them. With this
in mind therefore he swoops down up
on the inclosure of the ranchman, in
duces the cow ponies to brave the ter
rors of jumping a barbwire fence and
takes chances on clearing the sides ol
the corral. The result is that the stock
man, unless one of the riders stops ou
guard, is likely to wake up in The morn
ing and find his herd stampeded.
If it is the round-up the first thing
the wranglers know a thunder of hoofs
comes from the prairie, a shrill neigh
ing, which the herd answers in equally
shrill notes. The hoof beats sound
nearer and nearer, the herd grows
more nnd more excited and uneasy,
until finally the wild mustangs dash
in uud mingle with the cow ponies and
in a moment more all are off for some
place, no one knows where. The
wranglers, or herders, will be fortu
nate, indeed, if they can control their
own animals nnd avoid being forced
to Join in the stampede.
Nelson's Famous Order.
Captain Alfred T. Mahan contributes
to the Century an article on "Nelson
at Trafalgar." Concerning Nelson's fa
mous order, Captain Mahan says: Aft
er returning to the deck, Nelson asked
Blackwood whether he did not think
another signal was needed. The cap
tain replied that he thought every one
understood perfectly what was expect
ed of hiui. After musing a while, Nel
son said, "Suppose we telegraph that
'Nelson expects every man to do his
duty.'" The officer to whom the re
mark was made suggested whether it
would not read better, "England ex
pects." In the fleet, or, for the matter
of that, to the country, the change sig
nified little, for no two names were
ever more closely identified than those
of England and Nelson; but the latter
welcomed it eagerly, and at 11:30 the
signal which has achieved world-wide
celebrity flew from the Victory's mast
head, and was received with a shout
throughout the fleet.

Dragging Newly Plowed Land.
"When land is plowed for winter
grain after midsummer it needs all the
moisture that the soil has when plowed,
1 and a good deal more, to make a good
3eed bed. The turning of the furrow
exposes a much larger surface to the
air, besides making a hollow beneath,
which also helps to dry out the soil
above it. Early in spring, when the
land is cold, this large exposure to the
air, which is then warmer than the
4 soil, may be beneficial. Even then we
never wanted to let the furrow lie
more than one or two days without
putting in the harrow to break up!
clods formed by the plow, and which,
if they dried in that state, could not
, bo made into a good seed bed that sea
; son. But in late summer if it is neces
sary to plow, the rough furrow should
i be dragged over as quickly as possible.
It will press the furrow down, causing
weeds and stubble to begin to rot. The
roller also is a help to this. But it is bet
ter to run the smoothing harrow over
the rolled surface, so as to roughen it.
The compactness of the soil brings
moisture to the surface, and the rough
ened surface makes a mulch which
prevents too rapid evaporation.
Spring Grain Among Whent.
i To the Middle State farmer -who
grows winter wheat the scattering
j spring grain which grows among wheat
l isa nuisance. Hence he usually
plows or harrows his spring grain
] stubble as soon as possible after the
; crop is harvested, so as to have the
grains germinate early and be de
stroyed by subsequent cultivation.
But the far Western farmer who grows
wheat looks on the matter very differ
; ently. The danger to his crop is that
winter blizzards will blow all the soil
away from his wheat. TUo spring
grain makes a larger leaf than does the
wheat. If it occupies the soil, it pro
tects the wheat plant beside it, and as
the spring grain is killed by winter
freezing, it does not prevent, but
rather aids, the later growth of the
| winter grain. Thus it often happens
5 that Western farmers sow spring grain
with their wheat as a protection to it
from winter blizzards. This would
never be done by Eastern farmers,who
1 would find the spring grain au injury
| to the winter grain in fall, and no ben
efit whatever to its ability to with
! stand the rigors of winter.—Boston
I Cultivator.
Picking:, Sorting and Storing Apples.
] My fruit, says G. T. Powell, of New
I York, is always picked in baskets,
! never in bags, put into piles, and if
for foreign shipment, carefully as
sorted into two grades and barreled
immediately. Sweating is not neces
sary. When not shipped to home or
I foreign markets, the fruit is put into
bushel boxes and drawn to a storage
i room, where the boxes are piled up,
and there held until ready to be sold.
! This cellar or storeroom is kept cool
' by opening doors aud windows at
] night and closing them as much as
I possible during the day, thus shutting
in the cool air. These boxes should
be made tight, so that when piled the
] fruit is well confined from the air,
j same as in a barrel. When ready to
sell, the fruit is assorted into No. 1
and No. 2 grades, throwing out any
wormy or scabby apples. If the fruit
is to be held for some time, the air can
be brought down to thirty-four de
grees when freezing weather begins
by shutting in the cold air of freezing
nights.
If there are no facilities for holding
apples on the farm and they are put in
cold storage in the city, they should
• be assorted and packed in the orchard
and shipped at once, to save expense
in handling. There should be sorters
enough to keep up with the pickers
where fruit is shipped from the
orchard, so that every day's picking
may be secured from the air and placed
in barrels. When picking in the boxes
for home storage, no sorting is neces
sary until the apples are sold, except
that all apples showing any rot should
be thrown out. If apples have to be
held in barrels for a time, do not head
too tight, but before shipping open
head, or rather the bottom, of the bar
rel, put in another layer, to make fruit
1 thoroughly tight, and then ship them.
j Tricksters at Agricultural Fairs.
Wherever large numbers of people
gather, persons are usually found who
make a living by deceiving the public.
They have schemes and tricks innumer
able that appear to be easy and simple;
but in reality they are quite difficult
aud in some cases impossible to suc
cessfully perform. They have wheels
and machines that are doctored to turn
as the proprietor may wish to make
1 them. They have cocoanut-headed
j negro dodgers to arouse tho brutality
lin men and boys. They have tented
shows which are disgusting in coarse
ness and vulgarity.
Among the throngs at agricultural
i fairs these leeches are out of place.'
They contribute nothing helpful or
good. They do no' add to the attrac
tion of the fair. They do not bring
desirable patrons. They do not swell
i the gate receipts.
J They are not patronized by intelli
gent patrons of the fair. They are not
wanted by honest farmers. They are
| shunned with fear by thoughtful par-
I ents. Because of their presence, even,
the fair is not patronized by many of
j our best citizens' families.
I The harm accomnlished bv these
self-invited fakirs would doubtless sur
prise us, were it possible to gather and
trace back to their door all the results
of their work. They distract the
thought, they divert the attention,they
destroy the interest in the real work of
the fair. The competitive exhibitions,
the meritorious displays, the awarding
of prizes are all robbed of the undi
vided interest that belongs to them.
The morals of the country suffer ser
iously, we believe, from actions and
words that,without warning,are sprung
upon inquisitive audiencos in the tent
shows.
We are glad to see that a strong
effort is being put forth this season to
keep these objectionable features out of
the grounds, and the attitude of man
agers is encouraging.—Farm, Field
aud Fireside.
Money in Turkeys.
As far as my observations go, writes
R. W. Davidson, of New Jersey, there
is more money in turkeys than in chick
ens. Many people believe that tur
keys are delicate and hard to raise.
This is true as they are usually bred
and yet turkeys are not difficult to raise
if they are properly managed. The
causes of the great mortality in tur
keys are in breeding, dampness, lice
and improper food. Inbreeding is the
greatest evil. This degenerates the
stock and then the lice usually put a
stop to all furthor development. These
two evils are worse than dampness or
improper feed. Never breed from an
inferior or undeveloped gobbler and
never breed from the same gobbler
more than one year unless the same
breeding hens are also retained for an
other season. Young hens, if hatched
early, will begin to lay earlier aud lay
more eggs than old ones, yet the old
ones make the best breeders. Tur
keys are profitable until four or five
years old. Do not inbreod, even for n
single season. It is far better to ex
pend a few dollars for a new gobbler
unless, as I remarked above, the same
breeders are retained for another sea
son.
If hen turkeys are not allowed to
sit, they will lay from thirty to sixty
eggs in a season. If one becomes
broody, shut her up for three or four
days and in a week she will be laying
again. In summer making growth is
the groat object. Turkeys are sup
posed to gather their own living from
the fields, yet the same rule holds
good with turkeys as with chickens.
If we want good size and to have them
to come home to roost, we must feed
them at home every night. Give a
liberal supper of corn and wheat,
mostly wheat until November. Also a
light breakfast if possible. Pure-bred
turkeys are the best- if not inbred—
yet if it is considered too costly to
maintain a pure-bred flock, buy a well
developed pure-bred gobbler every
year. The additional expense will be
little compared with the results. When
November comes feed tho turkeys in
tended for market liberally with corn.
Remember that this brings a good
prico for tho corn and a plump turkey
will sell for more than a poor one. The
more food the growing turkeys con
sume, the more they will weigh when
r.ady for market. A good rule is to
give a light meal in the morning and
all they will eat at night, after they
are three months old. They will thus
get half their living on the range.
Some writers have said that the
heavy breeds, such as the Bronze, are
not desirable for the general market,
being too heavy to sell well. This is
wholly incorrect. It should be borne
in mind that turkeys are sold while
yet young. The Bronze will weigh
from two to five pounds more than
any other breed at the same ago and
with equal care. The largest toms
should be sent off at Thanksgiving
nnd Christmas, when large birds are
in demand, and the hens held for
other markets, when medium sized
sell the best. Got all the turkeys off
before or during the holidays, as the
market is always best then. It is best
to raise large, quick growing turkeys,
as they require no more time or feed
than smaller ones.
A Forgotten Capital.
One year before the Mayflower set
sail from Southampton the Virginians
assembled for the first time in their
House of Burgesses at Williamsburg,
the first froo elective body that came
together in the new world to make
laws for self-government.
There is no more interesting colon inl
relic in the forgotten capital than the
"Powder Horn," an octagonal maga
zine erected in 1715 under the rule of
Governor Spottswood. Tho "Powdor
Horn" contains portraits of Cnptniu
John Smith and Pocahontas, a massive
fragment of stone chiselled with the
name of Walter Raleigh and dozens of
colonial relics.
Coal in Australia.
Thoy have just been celebrating the
centennial of the discovery of coal in
Australia. It was in 1797 that coal
was found near Mount. Keira, in Illa
warra, and at the Hunter River. Up
to 1817 tho output of the lattor fields
was unimportant, nnd in that year
49,732 tons were raised, whjlp in 1895
the amount was about tliree aud three
quarter million tons, valued at XI,-
095,327. Black coal of commercial
value may be said at present, as far as
prolitablo working is concerned, to be
confined to Now South Wales, Queens
land and New Zealand.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
| Preparing Tomato Figs,
r Tomato figs are both economical and
tasty. Select the small yellow toma
toes; scald, peel and weigh. Allow
three pounds of sugar to six of toma
toes. Put a layer of tomatoes on the
bottom of your preserving-kettle, then
a layer of sugar, and stand them over
a moderate fire. Cook very gently un
til the sugar has penetrated the toma
toes. Lift them carefully, one at a
time, and spread on a large meat plat
ter. Dry inj the hot sun, sprinkle
them several times with granulated
sugar. When dry pack them in jars,
with a layer of sugar between the lay
ers of tomatoes. Cover with glass
while drying.—Mrs. S. T. Borer, iD
Ladies' Home Journal.
Tomato Soup.
For this soup use one-half of a can
of tomatoes, or one pint of fresh stewed
tomatoes. If you use the canned goods,
don't leave the other half in the can;
pour it in a china bowl, and, if con
venient, cook it a little before you put
it away. It will keep in a cool place
two or three days. It is said that
people are poisoned by using canned
goods, only because the article is al
lowed to remain in the can after it has
been opened. But about the soup—
one-half can of tomatoes, one pint of
water, a small onion chopped, a bay
leaf and a sprig of parsley boiled to
gether for fifteen minutes. Press
through a fine colander, return to the
kettle and add a teaspoonful of salt,
two of sugar and a shako of pepper.
Bub together one tablespoonful of but
ter and one of flour, and stir into the
soup wlion it boils; stir until it thick
ens. Serve with squares of toasted
bread.
An lilcnl Moat Plo.
This is a meat pie fit for the gods,
and was a favorite of Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher: Boil half a dozen me
dium-sized, mealy potatoes, mash
very smooth, then pour on them half
a cup of rich, sweet milk, salt and mix
in flour to make a dough that will roll
nicely. 801 l a half-inch-thick layer
for the baking dish, butter and put in.
Cut your nice juicy steak or raw beef
into inch square pieces, and line the
dish. Over this Blice thinly one or
two raw potatoes, and if you like, one
small finely minced onion. Salt, pep
per and lard with a tablespoonful of
good sweet butter. Add a teacup
of water, sprinkle a little flour over
the top, and put on the upper crust,
making it at least an inch thick. Bake
an hour and a half. Of course you
must watch the oven carefully to keep
the crust from burning. A griddle on
the bottom of the oven, and a pan of
water on the grate, will add materially.
A thick brown paper over the dish
will be added protection. The oven
should be a little slow.
Roast Goose.
Select a goose not over eiglit months
old. Clean aud cleanse thoroughly;
lot lie in salted water some hours.
This should be done on the day be
fore, snd the bird put on ice, if possi
ble, over night. There aro two ways
of making the stuffing. No. 1: Mix
two cups hot mashed potato with one
and one-lialf of bread crumbs, three
level teaspoons salt, one teaspoon sage,
one chopped onion and tablespoon
chopped pork. No. 2: Three pints
bread crumbs, six ounces) butter, one
teafqaoon each of sage, black pepper
and salt. In either case till, sow up
and put to roast. As the superabun
dance of oil is the main objection to a
gooso (and the llesh is not flavored
without it), all loose fat should bo re
moved when dressing, and sliced salt
pork laid over the breast, which draws
out the surplus oil. Baste with salt
and water, dredgo with Hour, turn
over, cook entirely done, which will
take about three hours. Serve on a
bed of water cresses. Make giblet
sauce.
Household Hints.
Sick headache will sometimes yield
to a cup of strong clear coffee that has
the juioo of half a lemon iu it.
If the crackers have got stale, put
them iu a baking tin and stand iu the
oven till thoy brown slightly, and they
will be fresh as ever.
Never use the cores of quinces in
making jelly. Parings may be used,
but the quinoes should be treated to a
good washing before peeling.
Powdered soapstone and salt make
an everlasting lining for woru-out
stove fire-boxes. Take equal parts of
the salt and soapstone and wet to a
thick paste with water, and spread on,
then let it dry.
When a dose of unpleasant medicine
is necessary, particularly with chil
dren, its disagreeable taste may be al
most wholly concealed if a peppermint
candy is taken just before the medi
cine. This is a better plan than tak
ing something after the dose.
In packing away white furs or robes
or children's white cloaks do not for
get to scatter pieces of white wax
among them. It will help to keep
them from turning yellow. A nice
way is to roll them in pieoes of cotton
or linen, make very dark with bluing,
boforo putting thorn into their boxes.
It takes housekeepers a long time to
learn that asbestos plates such as you
can get for five cents aro the nicest
thing in the world to put under the
tin in which you are cooking oatmeal,
rice, milk, or any of tlioso other things
that burn so easily. They cannot
burn, unless they boil dry, if you use
tho plate under thorn.
A room situated so that it does not
get any direct sunlight, but only re
flected light, may be made more cheer
ful if the walls are covered with a
paper that lias a background of some
delicate yollow shade. The painted
woodwork should be a creamy tint,
aud with yellow India silk or muslin
draperies at the windows, one can al
most imagine one's self in a room
with a southern exposure.

night. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for eight > N months,
and am now all right. Before that I took morphine pills for my pain; that
was a great mistake, for the relief was only momentary and the effect vile. I
am so thankful to be relieved of my sufferings, for the pains I had were some
thing terrible. I am, indeed, very grateful for the good Mrs. Pinkham's remc
dies have done me."

j arose from the fact that the Randolph,
Boiling, Fleming and other Influential
families of Virginia, with some ot
whom the Jefferson family was allied
by marriage, were descended from
Thomas llolfe, the son of Pocahontas.
