The Life of a western Editor.

We have collected $50. so cash during
the past six months, and lived on that
sum We have given from fourteen to
sixteen hours labor every day, includ-
ing Sunday, each week we have printed
the BentOnian. The SENT Weekly con-
tanned, when printed full, about twenty
thousand ems, making forty thousand for
the week, which is the average printer S
weeks work, without performing any
other labor. In addition to the week S
work at the case we have looked after
the chores of the office, made up the
paper, cut and wet down the paper,
washed the rollers, worked the press,
put up the mails and carried the papers.
We have bought, begged or stolen the
firewood, and chopped it with bor-
rowed axe. We have done our own
cooking and lived on one meal and a
cold lunch a day, never getting good
square one except when a chance half
dollar fell in our way, and we would
feel so rich that we would rush up to
the California Hotel. We have lived
on boiled beef with an occasional tur.
nip, and not infrequently boiled frozen
potato and salt for dessert. We would
then change our diet to soda crackers
and swe etened water for a few days,
There is nothing 50 conducive to health
as frequent changes of diet. For the
last week or two we have been gour.
mandizing on bacon and beans straight,

What tobacco we cannot beg we buy or
credit. We have not been in bed or lain

-Odors in milk and the susceptibility
Of milk in absorbing them have been
subjects of general discussion at many
Of our farmers gatherings Dairymen
are urged to be extremely careful that
there are no offensive odOrs in or about
the barn, or agricultural smells in con-
nectiOn with the dairy room; yet, not
withstandmg all this, there are still
many other sources of offensive odors.
Some Of these, while not especially Of
fensive of themselves, are yet particu-
larly so when introduced into the milk
product. Occasionally man may be
seen milking a COW, at the same time
engaged in smoking a rank smelling
pipe. The fumes Of tobacco coming
direct from the pipe might not be Of
fensive to many people, yet if perceived
in the milk or butter, might occasion
well-deserved fault-fnding.-M y

Flour is peculiarly sensitive to at
mospheric Influences; hence it should
never be stored in room with sour
liquids, nor where onions or fish are
kept, nor any article that taints the all
of the room in which it is stored. Any
smell perceptible to the sense will be
absorbed by the flour. Avoid damp
cellars or lofts where free circulation
of air cannot be obtained. Keep in a
cool, dry, airy room, and not exposed
to freezing temperature nor to in
tense summer or artificial heat, for any
length of time, above seventy to sew
enty-six degrees Fahrenheit. 1t should
not come in contact with grain OF
other substances which are liable to
heat. Flour should be sifted and the
particles thoroughly disintegrated, and
then warmed before baking. This treat
ment improves the color and baking
properties of the dough. The sponge
Should be prepared for the oven as soon
as the yeast has performed its mission,
otherwise fermentation sets in and
acidity results. burlington HaWbeyc.

Raising Potatoes Under Straw.

Occasionally some farmer has great
success in producing potatoes by
dropping the seed on green sward and
covering it with refuse straw, old hay,
or other sorts of litter. When this is
the case he generally informs the public
of his method of cultivating potatoes
and for a time it becomes fashionable.
Farmers who are not successful in this
method of raising potatoes do not say
anything about it, and as a consequence
the public are in ignorance in relation
to the ratio that exists between failures
and successes. 1t is obvious that rails
ing potatoes under straw or other litter
can never become generation the reason
that sufficient material cannot or
dinarily be obtained for covering the
seed. Still most farmers can raise a
small patch in this way to excellent
advantage.
The best results are obtained by
cutting the potatoes inpieces ofsuitable
size, dropping them on a sod after the
grass is a few inches high and covering
them to the thickness of six inches
with refuse hay, straw, or rotherrubbish.
The addition of well-rotted manure,
ashes, and fine soil is an advantage.
The rain win carry them down to the
roots of the potatoes. 1t is not neces-
sary to drop the potatoes in rows. The
pieces may be placed within a foot of
each other, as no cultivation isrequired.
A little earth thrown over the straw
covering viii keep it IN place and
preserve the moisture in it. Almost
all the labor required to raise potatoes
in this way consists in handling the
material employed in covering the seed.
The turf sOons decayes and affords
sustenance for the growing potatoes.
The potatoes are very easily harvested
in the fall and come out of the straw
almost as clean as if they had been
washed.
Another object may be accomplished
by planting potatoes on top of the
ground. A harsh, tough sod may be
subdued and brought into condition tc
produce good crops another year. A
valuable modification of plan of cover,
ing seed potatoes with straw consists
in opening furrow with a plow,
throwing in old hay, straw, forest
leaves, or sawdust, then dropping the
potatoes, and finally covering then
with earth. The materials thrown in
the furrow are favorable to the forma
tion and growth of the bulbs. Wher
mature they are quite clean, and may
be dug without bruises or cuts. A
mulch is of great advantage in raising
potatoes. 1t helps retain moisture anC
prevents the young and growing tuberi
from becoming too warm during the
hot weather in July and August. A
moderately cool temperature anC
moisture are essential to the produc
tion ofgood potatoes. = Chicago Times

THE FARMEBs DAUGHTER.

She dwclt within n quiet home,
No model OF the cruces.
Unknown to cultureB higher walks,
Or fashions giddy places.
a thoughtful girl, 80 sweet, so wise,
With earnest face and deep grny eyes,
The farmers gentle daughter.
From morn tin eve the little maid
Is busy at her labor;
She sweeps and dusts, and feeds the hens,
And ncyor minds her neighbOr;
No gossip ever listens to,
"a merit rare, tween me and you),
Thus lives the farmers daughter.
On baking days her tiny hands
Are skillful at the making;
No bread more light and sweet than hers
Was ever made by baking.
She churns the butter, golden, sweet,
And keeps the dairy clean and neat,
This farmers busy daughter.
Her garden Is an Eden fair,
A bloom with pinks and roses;
She knows the name Of every flower,
And makes some gorgeous pOsies.
Grows peas, and radlshes, ana Cress,
And corn, and squash, and herbs to press,
This farmers happy daughter.
Long may she bravely smile on us,
Our darling household fairy,
The queen of garden, house and lot,
And princess Of the dairy,
To teach us by her pleasant way
To love the things of "every day"
God bless the farmers daughter.
