- of potatoes for seed, and we noticed the

,- were being loaded with grain for the.

. The grain market has been unusally
.ac'tiye. during the last week. We see
'load after load of wheat, oata and corn
''looming' in-daily. Those grains are now
bommtuiding-agaod round price.
It is well known that tbe Grargers of
Biitler county, have organized a joint
stock cJrupany for tbe purchase of farm
implements.-. We are reliably informed
tbat.-they recently purchased a car load
of plow; 'and that they cost .them $1
'apiece .more than a superior plow wonld
- have cost them at Columbus. At that
rate there is nothing gained, because,
besides' tbe difference in price, a man
' can come to town and make his selection
from a large variety. The Grangers
stock company should be more careful
in -their purchases,, or they will not be
regarded asgood middlemen.

uainty orange service.
With a sharp knife pare the orange
just as you would an apple, being
careful to take all the white lining of
the skin from the pulp. Now place
your sharp knife on the left side of
one of the little divisions of the or
ange and lift out the pulp, which. If
carefully done, will come out in one
piece, and continue the process until
all the pulp has been lifted out from
each natural division. This frees the
pulp from all the fibrous matter of
the orange. Sprinkle sugar upon the
pulp and let it stand for an hour be
fore serving.
Hoarhound Candy.
Soak one ounce dried hoarhound in a
pint of boiling water for an hour. Strain,
and to every cup of the liquid add a
pound of sugar. Boil until it spins a
brittle thread when tested, then pour
on to buttered sheets of tin. When
nearly cold work into inch squares,
and when quite cold break Into sepa
rate' candies. If too bitter to suit the
taste reduce the amount of hoar
hound. Quickly Frozen Ice Cream.
By accident we discovered a way to
freeze ice cr.eam In almost "no time."
After the can has been filled and
packed with .fine ice and salt pour in
cold water until it runs out at the
drain in the side of the tub. Turn
the crank rapidly, and in five min
utes or less the cream will be per
fectly frozen' and a fine grain. House
keeper. To Clean Chased Silver.
To eight quarts of soft boiling wa
ter add one-half pound of. salsoda, stir
until dissolved. Into this mixture dip
the pieces of silver one by one, rinse
in clear warm water, and dry with
soft cloths. Polish with chamois. The
tarnish will disappear as like magic
and the silver look like new.

Nothing is so difficult to cleanse as
a gas range. I have tried using a
