To do things in the right way includes

/ is to do one thing at q time and do 1t thor
/ oughly, not be shifting from one work 10
! another, for in this way much time IS lost.
One thing, which is much overlooked, l5
, to have everything handy; have all kinds
| of feed close by where it is TO be fed; have
the corn-crib near TO the hog pasture the
hay close to the barn or stable, and water,
! both for cattle and house use, near at hand,
for III this way it will not take more than
half the time to do chores as 1t will II
everything that is fed must be carried, even
if thought not to be far. 1t is surprising
how much time will be walked away Tor
nothing in the course of year. Order
should be strictly observed in everything,
in having place for all kinds OF tools and
having them in their place when not used.
! While no method can be mechanically
followed in dividing up the labor on the
farm, still it can be arranged by establish
ing certain rules so as to save much time
In this way more can be done in ten hours
work than in fourteen hours where no
order is followed; therefore it is necessary
to plan well before commencing on all
kinds of work Germantown pa Iele-

DANGER or ARsESICAL PoIsoSs.
DR.. T. U. Piper, who has made very ex
tended observations both in this State and
| in the East with regard 10 the use of arsen-
zeal poisons for destroying grasshoppers
and other field and garden pests, calls
| attention to the danger arising from their
use. While it is admitted that arsenicai
green Is signally effiCacious as an insect eN-
terminator, it is also as deadly in its effects
upon large animals and human beings. He
refers to u number of cases in which cattle,
/ horses, hogs and poultry have died sudden
~ after feeding in the vicinity OF fields
where the arSenlCal poison has been spread.
Carried by the winds to adjacent pastures,
barnyards, springs and streams, It is Turk
ing death TO animals that feed on the grass
and vegetation, and TO human beings and
animals that drink from the springs. In
one instance four or five of party OF seven
teen persons who picnicked on a grass plot
in corner of field of potatoes that had
been treated with the poison died, their re-
1reShments having come in contact with
the grass upon which the poison had been
blown. Grapes on the vine, berries and
garden vegetables are also liable to catch
the deadly particles.
The doctors investigations have also led
him to the conclusion that arsenic is as

its use may iniure the productiveness of the
soil, as it is a substance which once in the

POINTS IN CREAMERY MANAGEMEST.
The manager of the Canton (Ct.l cream
cry makes all the butter with the assist
ance of u helper, attends to the marketing,
keeps the books and pays OIL the patrons,
in short doing the whole business, (which
aggregates about $50 900 a YEAR,, and is
paid $500 year by the creamery company
besides house rent. 1t is rarely, however
that one man can attend 10 all this satsfac-
torily. The usual way is to have butter
maker, who attends only to receiving the
milk or cream and manufacturing it; and
superintendent or treasurer, who keeps the
books markets the butter, and has the gen
eral oversight of the business, subject 10
the control Of the directors who receive no
pay. The superintendent may be paid S15
to S25 per month, according to the amount
of work done and time occupied. 1t is
economy 10 pay the manager a sum that
will make him feel able to devote the
proper time to the work, and sum that
will hire the best man for the work But
ter-nakers can be had as low as $40 per
week, but a real skillful butter-maker will
command $50 to $50 per month, where
they board themselves. a good butter
maker IS cheaper than 4 poor one Farm

EFFICIENCY or The REMEDY.
\ correspondent Of the Pacific Rural
Press, writing from near Fresno, says of
tie use of the arsenical remedy for grass
hoppers: Since discovering the poison
remedy (which has been given in the
Press, we have somewhat lcSSened their
raVageS by killing them il great quantities:
but before this they attacked and devoured
every vestigc of vegetation in some places
eating every leaf from the grapevine; also
cutting the stems of grapes from the vines,
making a total wreck of fine raisin vine
yards. and leaving the owner of a twenty
acre home to mourn his loss. The fine
raisin vineyard Of J. T. Goodman four
miles east of Fresno, will nearly all be
