"A complaint comes to us of the
water of well being discolored and bad
tasting, and it is a-ked if it will injure
cream, butter and other articles sus-
pended there. We answer no, not If in
perfectly tight vessels. But is not the
trouble caused by suspending such arti-
cles IN the water of we'll originally
goodP 1t takes but very little milk or
cream to spoil the water of a well. They
should never be suspended in the water,
but over it, and only in perfectly tight
md clean vessels.-Prairis Farmer.
Brown Bread: One coffee-cup of
boiling water turned on to one quart of
graham flour, one teaspoonful of soda,
one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoon
! full of lard, and one-haf cup of molasses
then add one pint of light bread sponge
when mixed thoroughly it should be
about as thick as for johnnycake, it
should be no thicker than can be stirred
with spoon. Put it into a two quart

The Farm Journal talks in this way
about the good times upon which the
farmer has fallen: This will be a good
year for farmers; that is, prices of their
products will be high. So of next year
and probably the next. Times will be
good until the crash comes. The sun
shines now, farmers; make hay. BE
prudent, be economical, keep down ex.
penses, buy little and sell all you can
Make every acre do its work, and clear
off that mortgage. Your time has now
come; this is your inning, and if you dc
not make your books balance on the
right side of the ledger by the time the
bottom again drops out it will be youl
own fault, not ours.
Kicking Cows: I tied the COW uI
by the head (not legs), procured good
switch (not club) and proceeded to milk
and for every kick I returned one goo6
smart blow with the switch on the offend
| ing leg. A few kicks and blows suficed
for that time. At the next milking only
three or four blows were required, anc
at the third milking one kick and one
blow were sufficient, and ever after the
cow was as gentle as need be. Three
important points are to be observed IN
the above statement Uniform kind
ness. 9. Never strike a COW for kicking
when loose in the yard, or she will learr
to run from you. 8. Only one blow fol
each kick.-RurGl Neto Yorker.
