KENOSHA CHURCH CROLRs.

There is not as much attention given to
church singing in this city as there should
be. The old time singing schools" which
are so essential to an understanding OF
church music, have died out. Young people
now take to singing hymns without the
trouble of learning TO read notes. Churches
make great mistake in neglecting the en-.
couragement Of singing by cultivated voices.
1t frequently happens that good singing at
tracts church attendance quite as much as
the preaching or other services.
The Congregational church choir has lately
been reorganized, and is under the leadership
Of s. Reynolds. The singing is creditable in
view of the short time the members Of the
choir have been brought together. The new
organ is fine instrument, and is admirably
played by Mrs. E. H. Hollister.
The Episcopal church choir consists for
the present wholly of ladies, and has some
good voices the chants are rendered very
acceptably. Miss Kate Hinsdale has been
the organist for several years, and fills that
duty we'll. The ladies of the society ar
engaged in the effort to procure new organ,
such as will correspond with the fine audi
ence room of their church. The prospect Of
their success is said to be good.
The Methodist church choir has been
much improved of late, has some good voices,
and is under the leadership of Win Wheeler
Miss Minnie Starkweather presides at the
organ. new organ would be an improve
ment, and as the church has efficient lady
workers that want will in due time be sup.
piled.
The Baptist church choir is led by Frank
Winnegar. The choir of the church has
been variable, like many others, caused by
frequent changes of residence. The congre'
cation is not large, but the determination tc
sustain choir of singers has always beer
creditable.
The singing in the three churches on tht
north side of the river is in German, and a;
those of that nationality are proverbially
singing people, many fine voices are heard
in their churches.

BRISTOL.

Two of the best boys in Bristol are
reported missing. 1t is to be hoped
that no accident has happened to them
The Plank road church have agreed
to keep up the Sabbath school this win
ter. Hope they will not be discouraged
if things do not work well for month
or two. Winter is the time for Sab
bath school for those who have to study
the Bible.

Mrs. Chaffee, of Norwalk, Ohio, is

ward.
| Miss Emma Jones has returned from

turn. VIM. Jones is also home from
Chicago for the holidays.
Elmer Pierce has come from Oshkosh

mother.
Gustavus Joslyn and his brother
Charley have returned from the West.

Henry eager and Andrew Benedict
returned on Wednesday from ramble

interesting points, starting Sunday
forenoon. Their friends were alarmed
at their absence, not knowing whittier
they went.
Mr.. Lemuel Spencer and Mr.. Frank
HOLSTER have erected a telephone be-
tween their residences. The apparatus
consists of a wooden collar box, with
a hole in the centre of the bottom,
through which the wire enters. The
wire is wrapped once or twice around
a common Sd nail, which lies flat on
the inside of the bottom of the box
across the hole, where the wire enters.
The wire is passed through a hole in
one corner of pane of glass, and
the pressure of the stretching of |
the wire holds the box up to the win
dow. Conversation is held by speak
ing to the open box and the voice is
heard in the box at the other end. The
two houses are some 60 rods apart,
and required 40 cents worth of wire to
connect them, stretched from trees and
fence-posts. The playing Of the organ
at Mr.. Spencer's could be distinctly
heard at Mr.. Hollister' S. On Tuesday
of last week, when the wire was COW

KEEPING UP THE FLOW OF MILK

hEEPING UP THE FLOW OF MILK.
The most important thing to be looked after
at this season, with most diaries, is the water
supply, Some cows acquire the habit of
drinking only once or twice day. and then
want to fill themselves like balloon. Per-
haps if such course was universally adopted
by cows it might be just as we'll for them as
more frequent drinking, but observation and
experience confirm the theory that frequent
drinking tends very much to keep up the flow
of milk. There should be an abundant sup.
ply of good, cool water, though the cow is less
particular about the temperature than most
other animals
1t is good policy to have near every water.
ing place salt lick. This is best made by
cutting q salt barrel in two in the middle and
building little shed over one OF the half
barrels. Some persons prefer leaving Jumps
of rock salt lying around the barn. 1t is
chiefly question of taste on the part of the
manager. No COW which has ever got once
accustomed to the free use of salt will hurt
herself if she has barrel of evaporated
salt to go to; and, on the other hand, it is
not prudent to leave salt-hungry cow in a
barn with large Jumps Of rock salt, much
less with such as she can get into her
mouth. The advantages of a liberal supply
of both water and salt at this season of the
year are that they promote healthy digestion.
Cows often shrink their milk far more from
their inability to digest and assimilate their
food than because of any considerable falling
off in the supply of the solid elements from
which milk is made.
Though the tendency of the cow to shrink
IL Sc rol 81,
and feed both contribute to the end, it is no
unusual thing to find that she is actually
producing as much butter or cheese, more
rarely the latter, as when she was giving q
full flow of milk during the supply of sue.
culent feed, especially if the season was cool
and damp This is not the case, however,
when the feed is actually deficient as well as
dry. If dairyman is working up his own
milk the effect of the shrinkage is generally
of less moment than if he is disposing of 1t
| by weight or measure. If, on the other
hand, he is selling his cream he is often q
| considerable loser from the circumstance
that the milk, though actually vsry rich, has
become so viscid as to yield its cream very
imperfectly by the ordinary methods of
cream. raising.
The remedy, then, for the ill, effects of the
hot and dry season, is not, as is often recon-
mended, in feeding more rich and dry food,
such as meal or grain, but in feeding the
most succulent food obtainable and providing
an abundance of water. Grain feeding con-
tributes more TO the improvement of the
quality of the product than to the flow Of
milk, and during the dry period is of doubt
full xpediency-unless there ahould be a
falling off of the quality requiring it.

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the OsLy sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor.
