In Virginia City, Nevada. a gentle.
man has placed on each side of the gravel
walk leading from his front gate to his
door, handsome iron fence, the top rail
of which is made of gas pipes filed with
small holes. Before he thus fenced his
his walk he was much troubled by book
agents, map peddlers, and other persistent
people, bu. now all is lovely with him.
When he sees man enter his gate with
books under his arm, he simply turns o
cock and instantly thousand streams Of
water dart across the whole length Of the
walk from side to side. The book ped.
dler retreats to the gate, gaEes wistiully
up the walk for time, concludes the
man Of the house does not want TO sec
him, and then travels, wondering what
sort Of internal machines people will next
invent for the encouragement of honest
industry This beautiful and useful in.
vention is not patented.

SAVING MANURE AND LABoR.--Almos.
any one has it in his power to keep up
the fertility of his soil, If he does not lay
out too much work, and undertake to do
WE'LL 1t is because man is poor that
his farm runs down, and there is no surer
way to get poor and to keep poor than
to occupy more land than one can work
well. When one has so much land that
he cannot work it we'll, and has not money
enough to employ others to work it ior
hin, hundreds Of things which could be
done to profit is not done; and thus
one half often of what the land might
yield does not come from it. Then be
has but half manure enough to raise crops
for 50 much ground properly. and so bu'
half a crop results. Thus he loses al
both ends, and gets poorer aud poorer
each year.
Nothing helps IA farmer so much as tC
have a full relief from being 'driven" Al
this season of the year. 1t the bitches
are all cleaned out, the surface water
which Injuries crops go much in the spring
will have better chance to drain away
So also will it help his roads. The water
passing off, the frost will not penetrate as
deep. aud thus there will not be so much
cutting up in spring. But best ofall tht
ditch. cleanings are about the best top
dressings for grass.lands and orchard
trees that one can possibly have.
Then there is always about an immense
amount Of waste vegetable matter in odd
corners where the pillow caDnot get at
that it would pay well to get together
and put in the stock-yard to rot up and
make manure, which dries up and goes
to waste when one has no time to attend
TO it at this season.
Where there is any woodland, leaves
in profusion lie around loose which
would serve the double purpose of warm
litter for stock and subsequent manure
as well. All this the man who let's bis
work drive him instead Of leading i,
along has to lose and no one can calcu
late the great loss every year from al
these little things added together.
We do not know that we could sug
gest better subject for farm winter
study than how to avoid being driven
with work or "pinched" for money
Whenever one gets to this condition
there is assuredly something wrong which
needs righting and which must be right
cd before much money can be made.
The lazy man never makes money
but the one who never has any time,
or who is "all behind with his work." il
about in as bad fix, if not worse, fo
very often he is no better off than tn,
lazy fellow, with the sad reflection in
cluded that his labor has been spent il

pigs. It Is no wonder that farming un.
der such difficulties is anything but at.
tractive to the young people.
To avoid all this trouble and loss, We
simply ripen our cream before putting it
in the churn.
From twelve 10 twenty. -four hours be-
fore churnipg, we set our pals Of cream
in kettle Of water and heat it up. stir.
ring the cream all the time to prevent
any portions from melting. We let the
thermometer rise in the cream as high
as from ZOE to So 1.-THE water is pretty
hot it takes but lew minutes to warm
up cream CROUCH for forty pounds OF
butter. This we do simply to hasten
healthy development Of lattice acid which
is produced faster and much more safely
under high than low temperature
No fresh cream is added after healipg, as
that would tend to retard the churning,
or it would be lost 10 the buttermik. At
80o cream is not melted or injured 10
the least, hut it is all mixed and made
alike in every part, and it vii! after
standing in n moderately warm room be
ripened When it reaches 64a it is right
to ehurn. If it has stood over night and
become much colder than that, 1t is again
put in the kettle of water and brought
mp to the right temperature by the Their.
mometer.
Under the system We have described,
we feel as sure of mess of sweet butter
in thirty minutes after the churn is
started, as we do iu June or September
The heating and standing afterward
changes the appearance of the cream, al.
most as much as cooking changes the
looks Of an egg. After little practice
and observation, one can tell at glance
whether cream is ripe or not. If it is
not ripe, it should not be ohurned. Iii,
is ripe, and all the attending circumstan
ces as they should be, good butter can BE-
made with certainty in fall or winter
every time.-N. E. Farmer.

SABBATH SCHOOL WORK.
The County Secretary's Address

I Brothers, Sisters and frte,as -
Township Conventions are a power
for good wherever held. Our State
Association recommends that each To
in every county hold one or more Of

our success.
We rejoice to see the interest that
has been manifested in the sabbath
school work in this CO. Pray for the
outpouring Of the Holy Spirit upon
the conventions. Study the topic in
the programme and be ready to give
practical thoughts. These meetings
are for yoa and youg, township: and
while friends and workers from abroad
are expected to assist, do not expect
them to do your work.
Invite your friends ari acouaint-
ances to attend If they are not in.
