its gratitude BY supporting the re-

the legislature will be an important
one, and the people should see to it
That men are sent there who will
vote down all attempts at partisan

The Art Of Butter.Making.

N:ver use your pans for anything but
milk; wash well in two waters, scald
and wipe we'll with clean towel never
allow your milk to stand forty-eight
hours; set your milk in cupboard or
safe, with papers pinned over the wires
to prevent the air from drying the cream,
else there will be white specks in the
butter; when you skim, loosen the cream
from the pan with the finger; what adj
heres to the pan will not make butter if
scraped off with the cream. Never allow
either milk or cream to freeze. Churn
rs often as every fourth day. When the
cream is ready, stand near the stove,
turning the churn, and churnins to stir
the cream while warming: take out the
butter and place it in cold water, rinse
well, salt, cover well from the air, and
set away; let it stand twenty-four hours,
then work over: press the butter while
working, instead of smoothing, as pull
ing the ladle over it makes the butter
oily. If these directions are observed
with care, you will be repaid by sweet,
yellow butter.

Green Foo. for Fowls.

Fowls cannot get along well OH grain
food alone, and must in both winter and
summer-the latter espeeially-be sup
piled with green, succule ut food, or they
will ere long become diseased and sick
ly, when the matter Of profit will be
very problematic indeed. Many times
have we seen persons lay snug little
sum for a flock of fine fowls, put them
into neat houses and yards, give them
plenty of corn, wheat, oats, etc, water
ing them regularly, but never allowing
them a bite of green grass or other green
food. The place must be small! indeed,
which cannot afford grass enough for q
flock Of fowls. lf,spds cannot be obtain
ed, cut a bunch of ane young grass early
every morning fort them, and they will
show you how badly they need it by
eating it up with evident relish. The
labor necessary to supply them with
this is not very great, and should be a
pleasure rather than task while the
benefits which the fowls derive there
from are very great indeed.
lfyou donot care to give your fowls
their green food in the shape of grass,
supply them With a head of cabbage
each day. TIE it up by the roots to
some convenient, place, and the fowls
will soon pix every piece off clean.
This is also the way Of supplying them
with their green water food. Even if
you have to huy the cabbage it is not
very expensive; for you can buy the
so!t heads-Which sell at q very low
price compared with the hard, solid and
marketable ones--ata nominal price.

Moss Ornaments.

A beautiful ornament for the sitting
room can be made by covering a COM
mon glass tumbler with moss, the latter
fastened in place by sewing-cotton wound
around. Then glue dried moss upon a
saucer into which set the tumbler, filling
it and the remaining space in the saucer
with loose earth from the woods. Plant
the former with variety of ferns, and
the latter with wood violets. On the
edge of the grass also plant some of the
nameless little evergreen vine which
bears red berries, and whose dark, glossy,
ivy-like foliage will trail over the fresh
blue and white of the violets with beau
tiful effect Another good plan is to fill
a rather deep plate with some Of the
nameless but beautiful silver and light
green and delicate pink MOSES, which
are met with in profusion in all the
swamps and marshes. This can be kept
fresh and beautiful as long as it is
watered profusely once a day. 1t must,
of course, be placed in the shade, or the
moss will blanch and die. In the CEN
ter of this, a clumpo large azure violets
should be placed, adding some curious
lichens and pretty fungus growth from
the barks of forest trees, and few cones,
shells and pebbles.

Buyfng mt Wholesale,

fhe other day, soon after Congress
street woman had decided to build big
strawberry shortcake for supper, she
heard themusical voice of q peddler cry
ing:
Great big strawberries-eight cents a
quart - three quarts for twenty-five
cents"
Nothing like taking advantage of dis
counts" said the woman as she ran for a
dish, and in five minutes she had her
three quarts of berries, and the peddler
had her silver quarter.
Time passed on. She sat in n rocking
chair looking over the luscious fruit; all
of sudden, she turned pale and began
breathing hard. 1t was not case of
heart disease or spinal meningitis, nor
had new wrinkle suddenly developed
itself on her forehead. She had simply
figured:
Eight cents a quart-three quarts for
twenty-five Cents-three times eight is
twenty four"
Her son came in just as she had slip
ped Il revolver into her pocket and tied
her bonnet-strings into square knot
and when he asked her where she was
going, she solemnly replied:
Harry, l am going out to XII ! straw
berry peddler-a seven-story hypocrite
and deceiver, who gave HE wholesale
rates on these berries. Tell your father
TO engage two lawyers, and be at the
Central station in half an hour"
But the strawberry man had passed on,
had sought other shady neighbour GODS,
and she returned to her darkened home
with a toothache under her ear, and her
heart beating 115o in the shade.
