CARROT CuLTURE.-A Boston paper
says that in the town of Danvers, Mass,
the raising OF carrots on an extensive
scale has for years been quite bust
ness. After years of experimenting
says Jas. J. H. Gregory, they settled
upon variety which originated among
them, known in their locality as the
Danvers carrot. 1t is in form about
midway between the Long Orange and
Short Horn class, growing generally
with stump root. Under their cult
vation they raise from twenty to thirty
tons TO the acre, and at times even
larger crops.

could let me have them for $Iz.5o.
"Too much" said l. "How are

Tired of T.nderfeet;.

When Joe Soar, of Denver, was asked

Solid Milk.

To make condensed milk, the milk is
subjected to a heat of some $50 degrees.
which, it is said, scalds it. By new
process the hest is only about $50 de-
grees. and the product is called evapor-
ated milk. When the time of exposure
to that moderate heat is sufficiently
prolonged all the watery part of the
milk is driven off and the remnant is a
tough, solid mass, creamy white in
color. and much resembling dried
chunk of white flour dough. That is
granulated by artificial means; a little
fine white sugar is added to make it
keep, and then it looks like corn meal.
and is called granulated milk. The
evaporated milk is only about half as
near solid as the condensed milk, but it
is very rich and so little affected by the
process through which it has passed
that when water is added the most deli
cate taste cannot detect the difference
between it and pure natural milk; cream
rises on it and butter can be made from
it The granulated is made to keep in
all climates for any desired length of
time.

Bessie Clark.
"No, indeed" added Carrie Wood.
I" She talked as sweetly to me yesterday
as though / was dressed in silk. don't
believe she would hurt our feelings by
calling us the calico girls as some of
the girls have done, because we can't
dress as fine as they do"
"She is dear little lady," said another.
Mother says no true lady is ever proud
or stuck up"
"That's So" responded Bessie. "And
| do believe she is good little Christian,
too, for she is gentle and patient even
when in pain, and never gets passionately
angry, as some of the girls do at the
least thing. She looked so sorry the
other day, when Susie Reed got mad
about something and almost struck Jenny
Marsh. heard her softly say, THE
Bible teaches us to love one another"
Ida Bowman was indeed mystery and
study to them all and it was not long
before her influence for good was felt in
the school, and the proud, naughty girls
found that, if they would make friends
with Ida Bowman, it must be in differ
| ent way from the exclusive one they had
devised and talked over. Miss Walker
and Mrs. Ensley also noticed with pleas
ure the greater harmony among their pu-
pills, and remarked:
I" How true it is that little leaven
leaveneth the whole. Ida Bowman shows
us this by almost unconsciously scatter
ing about her good seeds that are begin
ming to bear rich fruits"
And thus the new scholar proved a
blessing to them all by her sweet, gentle,
Christlike ways.-New York Observer.
