pastor, the Rev. J. Kirkpatrick, assured the
l'res1ytery on tho trial that there never, had
been any Intention Of using the instrument in
the church services; but, even though mute md
locked up, its mere presence in the church
scandallzed some, OF the oldest and strjctesr

OF them laid hands upon i and carried It out of
the church. Or course, there Was. a good deu1

THE DAIRY.


Tainted milk sometimes comes from
certain animals, and sometimes from
gases or an impure atmosphere. Bad
food or strong-favored food may
cause it.
"A number of Iowa farmers have
been experimenting this year with sweet
corn as feed for dairy COWS and hogs.
and lind the results to be highly salts
factory. The cows increased their Weld
OF milk perceptibly after few days
feeding, while the hogs rapidly fattened.
Sweet corn fodder has been successfully
used in this section, and it is good feed
for cows.-Etgin (IU.J Advocate.
When COW has been encouraged to
hold up her milk by feeding her during
milking, it is difficult to cure the habit,
and announcement at any rate, because
by holding the milk few times she may
suffer injury. We would let her 90
without milking once until it is painful
to hold the milk, and she will then let it
down. Try laying heavy chain across
the back just in 'front.' of the hips, or
strapping band around her in front OF
the udder pretty tightly.-M Y Times.
"A bandaged cheese is a distinctive
mark of American manufacture, for
while bandages or wrappers are used
during the curing of some of the English
cheeses they are removed when the
cheese is put on the market Bandages,
as applied in this country; protect the
cheese not only during the process of
curing but transportation, and prevent
the losses otherwise experienced in
cracked cheeses infested with shippers,
and in defective and broken rinds. Band
aged goods have been vastly improved
within the past few years. A special
cloth is now manufactured for bandages
of home construction, and there are also
seamless bandages woven in one piece
and sold by the yard.-N. z. World.
AS the winter advances the manu-
facturers of eleomargarine and suine are
putting forth their best efforts to sup
plant creamery butter, and they are meet
ing with a great deal of success in GER
tain quarters, and there is no use deny
ing the fact. Their product meets with
large sale in the south, where the peo-
pie can not readily distinguish between
the stuff and butter. Creamerr butter
cannot compete with the adulteration,
unless the people are educated to its use.
Oleomargarine is sold in the southern
markets at twenty-five to twenty-seven
cents, and any one who knows anything
about creamery butter knows it cannot
be sold at that price at this season of the
year. The reasons are obvious for this
and need not be repeated here. Manu-
facturers of pure goods must meet the
frauds squarely and insist upon such leg
islation as will enable them to drive them
to the wall

Preserving Fowls Wings.

Turkey and geese wings are one OF
the greatest conveniences in household,
and every woman knows how to appre-
ciate them, not only for busting furni-
ture, stoves, .cobwebs, etc., but also fol-
washing sinks and windows and for
spreading paste on wall paper. 1t is al
ways a trouble to keep the moths from
running them in warm weather, as they
seem to reyel in the fieshy part of the
wing. / have tried faithfully several
methods to preserve them, such as bind
jig the ends with linen cloth, burying
in ashes and dipping in brine, but could
find nothing that was, perfectly reliable
till two years ago an accident revealed
the secret. N uo 81
pail of strong copperas water was
set away to cool over night, preparatory
to use in the cellar, and by some mis-
chance a package Of wings hanging
overhead fell into the water with the
joint ends down. In the morning they
were taken out and flung into the wood
shed, supposing they were ruined. Some
weeks after, supposing they were dry
enough to burn, they were picked up to
carry to the kitchen range, but instead
of being ruined they were in the very
best state of preservation-not a moth
visible or feather loose-and they last
ed the best of any wings / ever used.
Last year / repeated the experiment of
dipping them in copperas water, and the
result was splendid; and hereafter it will
be my rule in preparing wings for serv-
ice, to dip them as soon as possible after
they are taken off, and then string them
on a cord and hang them up in dry
place till they are needed for use. 1t has
often been said that some of the most
useful methods of doing work and the
best receipts were the result of accident
rather than design. This method of pre-
serving wings was purely accidental
and it is no waste, for the water is Just
as good to pour into the sink drain for
disinfectant as if the wings had not been
dipped in it.-Cor. Coat'try Gentleman.

A Smile of Satisfaction.

y This from the Cleveland (Ohio) Penny Press,
carries its own suggestion: Recently rneeSing
Mr. H. G. Keffer, treasurer of the Cleveland
Herald, our representative inquired of that
gentleman, after stating his mission, if he
personally knew anything about the Great
German Remedy, st. Jacobs Oil. A smile
played across Mr.. Refers expressive face and
his eyes twinkled merrily as he replied in the
affirmative: l will not refuse to state my ex-
perience with it, and you may use it as you
think best. Four years ago sprained one of
my ankles, an accident which, as you are
aware, entails much suffering and sometimes
leaves the limb in condition to remind one
frequently of the old hurt. Unfortunately
this result ensued. Whenever the weather be-
came damp or my system absorbed the slight
est cold my ankle panied me. This went on
at intervals for over three years, and l could
not obtain relief. Last winter applied the
st. Jacobs Oil and it completely cured me- l
have not since felt return of the pain.

A FEW days ago a Mexican woman, while
washing her feet in the Rio Grande near Rio
Grand City, was seized and carried off by an
alligator. Her husband hearing her scream
rushed into the water, and, knife in hand,
made this voracious beast give up his prey.
The feet of the woman were badly lacerated,
but at last accounts she was doing well.-Neso
York 1Tt6ume. A few days ago a Cincinnati
woman, while washing her feet in the Ohio
River, felt tickling sensation in one of her
toes, and on drawing it ont of the water dis
covered an alligator attached to it. Other al
ligators, hearing the cries of their companion,
rushed to the shore and finally succeeded in
rescuing him. at last accounts the alligator
was very sick.-Chicdgo Tribune.
