PORPOftC HUNTING.
pttra SMI Fllvel Uv
tke
la the nortktrn part of Mine and in
Nov Bcotia there are atill many
Indians of the InssamnjuoOdy tribe
nr.d these ludier.S follow a pursuit that
isntraost unknown to the outiidc world.
They sh'oot porpoises. Everybody fa-
miliar with the sea has watched these
queer creature. They ar(; less shy
about showing themselves than any
V-tbcr inhabitant of the oce'lu; but to
see them tumbling over themselves in
their odd regulur way is nil the world
in general ever has to do vith them;
the Passamaquoddy Indians however
not only shoot them but mat e their liv-
ing mainly out of porpoise and a living
well earned it is too for fhere is no
occupation in the world thst calls for
more bravery skill and endurance.
TJie money is obtained by Bell-
ing the oil and pure porpoise
oil brings the Indians about 90
cents a gallon 5 the oil obtained
from the pa.vs sells higher; it is tried
out by itself because of its superiority
and is valued by watchmakers and
others who want an oil of very line
lubricating quality. The Indians eat
the porpoise flesh it is very much like
fresh pork and many white fishermen
around the coast like it well enough to
give Ihe Indians fresh fish iu exchange
' for it
There arc no game laws to protect
porpoise and the hunting froes on the
vear around thouch the blubber is
Something like two inches thick in win-
tcr against one and a half iu summer;
j but then the danger and suffering to
the Indinn not the fish are far greater

The way iu which sugar is made per
fectly white it is said wn; found out
in a curious way. A hen that had gone
through u clay mud puddle went with
her muddy feet Into a sugar house. It
was observed by some one that wherever
the tracks v. ere the sugar was whitened.
This led to some experiments. The re-
sult was that wet clay came to be used
in refining sugar. It is used in this
way: The sugar is put into wooden
jars shaped as you see the i.ugar loaves
arc. The larger ends are upward. The
smaller cuds have a hole in them. The
jar is filled with sugar the clay put over
the top and kept wet. The moisture
goes down through the sugar and drops
from the hole in the small end of the
jar. This makes the sugar perfectly
white. :

that her skull was too small to permit

A Texas Wobub Tells How Sfae DUpoaed of

' When butter was in demand at 5
cents per pdnnd I thought very little
8f cheese-making but when it dropped
to 1)i cents I -thought very seriously
of finding some other way of using the
milk "and labor necessary to produce
good batter.
I had saved up a number of clippings
from various journals on the subject.
Indeed the one which has been of the
most practical beenefit to me was from
Texas Farm and Kanch of August 15
iStiO which was clipped from the Na-
tional istockman.
All my clippiugs however were
more or less indefinite and after man3
efforts I failed to find an- rennet so I
was almost in despair no only cast
down when 1 wrote to you for help
sometime last February. Your repby
came promptly with an address where
rennet might be procured. Hy the
next mail I sent for price list and
on March II made a small cheese In-
directions furnished me with the ren
net.
For my first experiments I used only
25 pounds of milk ami my first was as
good cheese as any I have made since
though it cost me very much more time
and study than it does now. As a
money-making enterprise I do not
think many farmers' wives will find
it profitable to make cheese but to
furnish a variety for their own table
it is certainly worth while to make a
supply for home use.
The smallest package of retiuet tab-
lets costs !N) cents the .smallest case of
cheese color costs :) cents so you be-
gin with an expense of Sl.'-'O though
this according to directions should
make 500 pounds of cheese. My first
hoop was a diminutive affair from a
toy "tambourine." 1 now- have a good
Y. A. tinned iron 7x0 inches and a
press made by a boy with a good idea
of the use of tools.
Now for the process: I use half
night's and half morning's milk weigh
it mix in a .inc tub. place on the cook
stove ami stir till it reaches S'2 degrees
then dissolve ehee-e eolor ill cold
water; pour in -mil stir till your ther-
mometer registers S5. Then dissolve
rennet in cold water and stir into tne
milk. The milk should be heated very
slowiy and at least ten minutes should
elapse between adding the color and
the rennet. After stirring in the ren-
net remove the milk from the fire set
iu a eool place stir ten minutes then
cover and let alone for 20 minutes
or a half hour. At the end of this
time your milk is or should be a firm.
glo.sS3 curd. Now
cut cross-wa vs. and
every other way till it is in small
ltinip but it should be done quickly.
Then place your milk over the fire and
heat slowly stirring constantly till it
reaches a temperature of 102 degrees.
Remove from the fire plaeiug some
Object under one side of the tub so
that the whey will llow away from the
curd as you pile it (the curd) in the
'higher side of the tub. Dave a vessel
large enough to hold the whey near
by with a square of cheese cloth tied
over the top. Now. dip out vour whev
and curd pour on the cloth till all vour
nl is on the cloth.. Now cover and
. .
K'1 remain a few minutes then you
wm 11ml it matteil together and it
must be cut or pulled apart and repiled
so as to facilitate the dripping of the
whey. Let it gradually cool to SO de-
grees cut or work it very line with
your hands stir in salt about as you
would salt butter perhaps a little
more; then your cheese is ready to
press.
This seems very simple and like it
might be done very iuielcly. but the
books say it should occupy live or six
hours. I generally get a cheese in
press in three hours but I always lose
some of the cream and white whey
which is wrong and may be because I
make too much haste.
If the linn from which 1 procured
my rennet und hoop advertise in Texas
Farm and Ranch will you please give
their address with this letter that the
sisters of the household may get their
price list and directions for cheese
making.
Nothing is more wholesome than
cheese and toasted or as Welsh rare-
bit it is just the thing for a breakfast
dish. There are all sorts of improved
lixtures and tools for cheese-making;
but if one spends $10 or 513 to be-
gin with it might be just as well to
buy that much cheese and sit on the
gallery and read while the piga and
ehickens enjoyed the milk. Mrs. L. H.
Hill in Texas Farm and Randi.
Relative Trout of Cotton ami Grain.
Notwithstanding that there is a di-
versity of opinion as to the relative
prolits of cotton and grain in the black-
land counties. 1 wili attempt to give
what 1 have found to be the concensus
of opinion among the leading farmers
iu Collin county. At the outset it
would be well to concede that a
fair estimate can only be made by-
taking the average of the ruling low-
prices of cotton and grain for tha past
four years of "depression" for all must
know that the present abnormal high
price of wheat caused no doubt from
a total loss of the crop from a two years
drought iu India ami Australia can
not be a fair criterion to go by. As Col-
lin county is near the center of the
black hinds its productions may be re-
garded as a fair sample for the other
sections. Cot:on under favorable cul
ture and proper care in selection of
seed will average in a cycle of seven
years three-fourths of a bale per acre;
oats GO bushels; wheat IS bushels;
corn 40 bushels; barley and rye from
:?0 to 40 bushels but the area sown in
the latter two cereals is yet too small
to be considered in this estimate of
relative prices. Cotton is more re-
munerative at six cents per pound. with
cotton seed at ST.f.u to i?s.-() pt.r ton
than corn where hauled to market in
wagons and sold at vH) to -JS cents per
bushel wheat at 45 to .Vj cents per
bushel oats at IS to -Ji cents; provided
the cotton grower raise. his necessary-
home supplies viz.: mules horses
milch cows corn ami hogs vegetables.
poultry fruit etc. There would no
profit accrue atsix cents if the old-time
custom of raising "all cotton'' was
pursued. Hut torn judiciously fed to
hogs in connection with plenty of nu-
tritious sorghum cane proper pastur-
age of alfalfa or Uennuda at 20 cents
per bushel would pay- a small profit if
pork should continue to bring the
prehcut prices of S3. 30 to S3. 40 in our
local markets and would pay under
economical feeding more than cotton
if the price of pork would average four
cent gross.

Corn Growlnj: In the South.
By some the Increase in corn culturb
in the southern states since 1800 is as-
cribed to a competition begun eight
years ago in one of the agricultural
papers which offured a cash prize to
the American farmer who raised the
largest crop to the acre of any cereal.
The prize for wheal went to Utah for
oat to New York for barley to Ohio
and for corn strange to relate to
South Carolina. O110 fanner in Marl-
borough county in that state estab-
lished his claim to have raised a crop
from one acre of 239 bushels and the
awarding of the prize was a revelation-
to many Southern farmers who had
uniformly regarded cotton as the sta-
ple agricultural product of the south
and havescen neither reason nor profit
in the cultivation of corn bince then
whatever the reason of the develop-
ment of the corn crop in the south may
have been it is a fact that it has been
enormously increased and that tho
western states no longer hold their
relative prominence as corn-growers.
By the ofiicial census of lo there
were produced in the United States in
that year 1750000.000 bushels of corn
and by figures of the department of
agriculture iu 1VJ5. 15 years later tho

If You Havo Any of Thoso Symp-
toizis Act at Once.
Do you know the reason why you will
go to the hospital my poor friend?
Because you have allowed yourself
to go from bad to worse. You did not
know that that heat swelling and ten-
derness in your left side were all signs
of congestion of the ovary.
Any intelligent woman could havo
ktold you that congestion is fatal to the
uterine
system
and that
an ovary
congest
ed leads
to tumor I
forma
tion and
that
you
were
in awful
danjrer. Xow( )
you will have
to undergo the operation of ovariotomy
the cutting out of the ovary.
Yes. you will recover at least I hopa
you will; but you will never bo quito
the same woman airain. Congestion of
the ovaries is fatal to health. If you
have any such symptoms bo advised
in time ; take a medicine of specific
powers! You can find none better
than Lydia H. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound prepared especially to meet
the needs of Woman's sexual system.
You can get it at any good druggist's.
Following-we publish a letter from
a woman in Milwaukee which relates
how she was cured of ovarian trouble t
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I suffered with
