During Iht Alaskan and Arctic cruise of the United Slates revenue steamer Corwln In the summers of 1884 and 1HX., Third Moiitonant John C. Cantwell, with a steam launch and Miiall party, explored the Kowak river luits source. In Ml rorsirt of the ex ploration, the following account 1h Iflvon of the resource In the way of food among the Kowak IndiiinH who inhabit the river banks. Fish naturally form- thi! staple of their living: The IImIi which are not Immediately eaten arc cleaned and dried for winter provilon. Fish are sometimes, though not commonly, hurled without having heeti previously cleaned, and allowed to become putrid before eat ing. Thin form of diet 1m eHteemed a luxury, but owing to the trouble of transporting It when traveling, It In not ho common ax the dried llsh. I attempted to eat Home of the burled find, but In spile of the fact that I wan very hungry at the time, I could not retain it on my Htomach, and 1 believe that a white man would Htarve before IiIh Htomach could he educated up, or down, to thin repulsive diet The tundra plums are filled with brrrlcM, and we had no diftlcully In ob taining an abundance of Hiilmon, blueberries and wild niHpbcrricH, while in placeH, especially on high lam), the wild currant wan found of excellent quality. To those articles ufdiet may be milled the wild onion, rhubarb and parsnip, which formed an agreeable change from our daily j rations. The Indians are very fond of i the wllil parsnip, and adopt a shrewd I plan for getting a supply without the trouble of collecting It. The lleld mouse is very common in this region, ' and before the winter sets in has con atructed fur himself a house, and filled ; it with the desirable root. Now alt I the Indian lias to do Is -to use the I words of any Interpreter "Look for 1 mouse-house; blmeby see Utile hill; Injun ilig up little hill; kutchum plenty root; very good!'' To be fully appreciated by the na tive gourmand, it must be lirst boiled with II nli or seal oil, and If molasses or migar Is obtainable, it is sweetened by the addition of one or both of these in gredients. With the native fondues of sugar, ami, in fact, all saccharine Hubstanci s, It is remarkable that they have never acquired the tusto for salt. The river Indiani do not eat salt with then food, ami object to It with man ifest repugnance when forced ti eat Much articles as bacon and ham. l'outli'.i OgmponlM, VinTUEs"oF CELERY.

New discoveries or what claim to bo discoveries of the healing virtues of plants are continually being made. One of the latest is that celery is a euro for rheumatism; Indeed, It is asserted that the disease Is Impossible If the vegetable be cooked and freely eaten. The fuel that it Is always put on the table raw prevents Its thcra jieutic powers from being known. The celery should be cut Into bits, boiled lu water until soft and the waterdrunk by the patient. Put new milk, with n little Hour and nutmeg, Into a sauce-pan with the boiled celery, serve It warm with pieces of toast, eat It with potatoes, mid the painful ailment will hood yield. Much is the declaration of a physician who has again and again tried the ex periment, and with uniform success. He adds that cold or damp never pro duces, but simply develops the dis ease, of which acid blood Is the pri mary and sustaining cause, and that while the blood is alkaline there can be neither rheumatism nor gout. Statistics show that In oncyenr(lM7!) S.liW persons died of rheumatism In this county, and every case, It is claimed, might have Wen cured or prevented by the adoption of the MMdj mentioned. At least two- third of the cases named heart dis ease aii' ascribed to rheumatism and IU agonizing ally, gout. Small-pox, ao much dreaded. Is not half so de structive its rheumatism, which, It la maintained by many physicians, can lie prevented by obeying nature's laws In diet. Hut, If you have incurred it, belled celery Is pronounced unhesi tatingly to be a specific. The proper way to cat celery Is to have It cooked as a vegetable after the mancr atsive described. The writer makes con tant use of It In this way. Try it once, and you would sooner do with out any vegetables, with the single ex cept inn of the potato, rather than celery. Cooked celery is a delicious IUh for the table, and the most con ducive to the health of any vegetable that can bo mentioned. I.eeilt Mer mry.

Bulky food is necessary for the distention of the stomach, and there is nothing so nu tritious for that purpose as the scalded clover. The price of onions is lower this year than for some time past. 1 his is due to a large increase of area planted thromrhout the east, and to an un- usuallv lame crop; the insects and diseases that usually attack the onion having lieen far less prevalent this year than usual. After winter graiu is sown there is yet time to remedy defects of soil and exposure. If there is a knoll in the held it is probably the txjoresi part oi the lot, and one or more loads of ma nure distributed over it will have a wonderful effect, not alone upon the grain crop, but on tne gras.' seeuiug. Good cider vinegar is always sala ble, and it pays to convert the surplus apples into cider for the purpose of making vinegar. The artificial vine gar cannot be used for choice pickles and other purposes for which good cider vinegar only is adapted, and docs not, therefore, largely compete with it.

It is better to kill an animal that is suspected of having a contagious disease than to attempt a cure. Delay is dangerous. Precaution in the beginning is belter than any work that can be done in at tempting to effect a cure after the dis ease secures a hold. Most farmers who give no particu lar attention to horses usually drive with a loose rein. This is well enough with the "old family horse," in whom you have pe.fect confidence. It is never safe, however, with a young and spirited horse. Never drive such an animal wiili so looe a rein tint you cannot instantly command the situa tion, whatever happens. Pork made from a considerable por tion of apple diet is peculiarly sweet in flavor. Hogs will fatten more rap idly on sweet apples than sour, if ap ples are principally depended upon ; but if grain is fed with apples the sour will do even better than the sweet, as the acid v. ill assist in the di gestion of the grain. It would be bet ter to feed corn for a few weeks before killing, to harden the pork. In California turkeys are raised in flocks numbering several thousand. Ihey are placed in charge of a herder. who drives them as he would a Uioik of sheep. They range over miles of territory in a day, and live almost en tirely by foragiug. When the grain is cut mil harvested the turktysare turned into the immense wheat and barley fields and the birds do the gleaning and become fat and ready lor market at very little cost. One article of food cannot sunnlv all the necessary sustenance, because it may lack some of the essential ele ments and is sure to havo some in in sufficient quantity. A normal appe tite, that sure guide to the wants of nature, crates a variety of foods. It s not necessary to make the ration ostly ; a little thought will provide a variety iu the ration and without greater cost. As to regularity in feed ing, it haa been amply demonstrated thai animals do not thrive so well when fed irregularly aa when they get their food at certain seasons. A practical dairyman srivea the fob lowing reasons why he was more suc cessful with his cows than his neigh bora were : " I'll tell you," said he, "it all depends where a man looks when leeds his cows. Mv neighbors all look at the feed ; consequently. Han asily learn to scramnthecow all thav dare to. When I feed I look at the cow just as I would any machine if I was feeding it. You want t. , n.-i, holes in the ends until all of the soil is thoroughly saturated, and 'tis done. The box can be set in any convenient niche of the cellar, and only needs occasional watering (al ways through the auger holes) to have a supply of Oilspi tender celery at short notice, without the trouble of grubbing in the (rOSfln ground and exposing both yourself and the whole lei of celery in the trench. The increasing use of windmill- for pumping water, etc., suggests that they could be made the foundation of a lire department on the farm, that would prove ifliiiient in many cases. Three-fourths of the farm conflagra tions are discovered bo curly that the prompt application of 20 gallons of water, would put out the lire. But it is impossible to get water soon enough when it must be carried to the garret or loft in buckets. With a 14-foot windmill and a strong double-acting force-pump, a continuous stream may be forced a thousand feet and to a bight of a hundred feut. But us the windmill and well ure usually near the house and barn, it would rarely be necessary to have the water forced farther than two hunnred feet or raised higher than fifty feet.
