Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is boon of value,
since It relieves and prevents 1t, neutralizes bad
qualities in food and drink and is a genial as
well as effective medicine. Pallid clerks and in

Different WAYS of Making Butter.

In contrasting two ways of making
butter, Stephen Powers says In the
Ohio Farmer: The good wife slaves
early and late, making butter, good,
bad or Indifferent, according to her
ability-(generally doing the best she
can, and doing better than she could
be expected to do under the wretched
inducements held out to stimulate ex-
cellence), to receive in return a few
groceries or a few yards of cheap
print. 1t is one of the many mean and
little drudgeries of the farmers wife
which together sap woman's life,
steal away the color from her cheeks
and the elasticity from her steps" To
this might have been added that the
work of thousands of farmers wives are
done in their diaries, under conditions
that make the production OF butter of
good quality an impossibillty. The
food given to the COWS is so tainted by
the presence of strong and disagreeably
favored weeds as on the raw prairies of
the West; the water they drink is so
poisoned by the elements of putrefac-
ton, as in thousands of stagpant pools,
or by minerals, as in many streams in
Kansas and other parts of the West,
that the milk is utterly unfit for use.
1t is well known that butter is spoiled
by the influence of any such obnoxious
matter in the diet of the COW, yet thou
sands of women have struggled on for
years in the hopeless effort to make but
ter as good as they were wont to make
in their old homes, where water was
pure and pastures free from noxious
weeds,

Potatoes Eaten by White Grubs.

Apropos of the recent article on the
white grub in the Prairie Farmer, is
this from Columbia County, n. Y,
correspondent of the New York Trib-
une: We hear much about injury done
to potatoes by wireworms and scab, but
as this year proves, the tuber has no
worse enemy than the common white
grub, Lachnosterna fusca. The injury
they are doing the crop in this section
is very great. Whole fields turn out
nothing scarcely but skeletons of pota
toes. Out of curiosity l dug five hills
at random in field said to be infested
with this pest, and found therein
twenty five full-grown, able bodied
grubs. Two of the hills had six grubs
each, and the workman said: Some
times the ground is white with them
where we are digging" There is scarce
ly anything left of the tuber in such
hills. In these were found no wire
worms, and none of the potatoes were
scabbed. 1t was the work of the white
grcb, pure and simple.
In a portion of his field the proprie-
tor had put some sawdust In the hills
at the time of planting, with view to
retaining moisture, and some think the
grubs are thicker on that account, old
wood and decaying substances being at
tractive to them. However, complaint
comes from all sides, the location or cir
cumstances seeming to have very little
to do with work of the grub. This is
certainly one of our most destructive
insects, and none harder to contend
with and overcome.

BY JOHN A. FRASER.

In brown holland apron she stood in the kitchen:
aglow
Her hair coifed neatly; and indiscreety
Stood watching while Nancy was Sneading the
dough.
Now who could be neater or brighter or sweeter
Or who hum song so delightfully."- low,
Or who look so slender, so gracefully tender
As Nancy, sweet Nancy, while kneading the
dough?
How denly she pressed it and squeezed and ca
ressed it,
And twisted and turned it, now quick and now
slow.
All, me, but that madness I've paid for in sad
ness
Twas my heart she was kneading as wen as
the dough
At last when she turned for her pan to the
dresser,
She saw me and blushed and said shyly,
please go,
Or my breadth be spoiling in spite of my toiing,
If you stand here and watch while I'm knesd-
ing the dough"
begged for permission to stay. She'd not listen;
The sweet little tyrant said: "No, sir mo- no.
Yet when had vanished on being thus Danished,
My heart staid with Nancy while kneadlng the
dough.
I'm dreaming. sweet Nancy, and see you in
fancy,
Your heart, love, has softened and pitied my
woe:
And we, dear are rich In a dainty wee kitchen
Where Nancy my Nancy, stands kneading the
dough.

The Two WaYa.

There are two ways in which the re-
cent decline in the price of grain may
be met by the American farmer, to
whom increasing production by rival
countries gives no promise of relief
from the extreme depression now ex-
listing. One way is to adopt the best
system known for managing the sol.
The other is by saving sonnet ,ng of the
cost of putting the products OF the farm
into the hands of the consumer. OF
the various means for accomplishing
the latter none have been found more
satisfactory than condensing these prod
ucts into the smallest possible COM
pass, and into the most valuable form.
This is best done by feeding the bulky
grain and fodder to cattle, horses, sheep
or swine. In one or another of these
classes of animals, almost every farmer
will find an aid adapted to the condition
under which he happens to be working.
But it is not every description of cattle,
or horses, or sheep, or swine that will
help the farmer to find profitable
market for his crops. Some of the live
stock of this country is so poor in breed
ing that it can really be of little use in
COUu6uSlDB BThlL. IL tlIdb WOTh Is 10 D0
done to best advantage it must be by
the help of the best means obtainable.
In raising crop the farmer is quite
likely to use the best machinery he can
secure-why should he not be equally
careful to use the best means he can
get for putting his crops into market.
If aperson should learn that he could
sell his corn to the most profit by first
having it ground into fine meal, he
would scarcely be content to take that
corn TO mill that could not separate
most of the meal from the bran; nor
would he take it to one so exposed that
the winds could blow away quarter,
or even tenth part of the meal. And
if the farmer owned the MILL he would
hardly like to see it running half the
time with the hopper empty, while the
machinery wore out, and interest on the
investment accun ulated. Cattle, hogs
and sheep are simply mills for turning
grain and hay into more marketable
forms. They should always be sup
piled with as much grist as they can
grind well. There should be no empty
hoppers, ccr should wintry winds be
permitted to blow away any part of the
grist they grind. To get the best
results, the grain must be taken to the
best mill, and that mill be made to do
its work in the best possible manner.

FARM GARDEN AND HOME.

Song of Our Presidents.
First came General Washington,
Great man and high,
Who kept MS little Ratchet bright
And never told a lie,
He won us many a battle, bows,
And set our country free
And shouldn't we be glad TO get
Another such as hei
CHoRus.-Now a cheer for every President,
That ever yet has been
And three times three whoe'er he be,
For the next That shall lie seen
Hurrah! hurTahl hurrahi
Hnrrahl hurrahl huFrayl
Hutrahl hurrahl hurrah, my boys!
For the next election day
John Adams next then jefferson,
James Madison also,
And after them another James,
Whose name ii was Monroe
Another Adams followed him,
And then 'Old Hickory" came,
Stout Andrew Jackson, stern and grim,
OF Democratic fame
Van Buren, next then Harrison,
Whe ruled month and died.
When Tyler had To take his place,
And fill his own beside
Then Polk, he donned his polka,
And Taylor told his tayle,
And when four years again were gone,
Twas Fillmore did prevail.
Now some will call the next our Pierce,
And some will call him PURGE;
But either answers well enough
The purpose of my verse.
Buchanan next and after him
Our Lincoln good and great,
Who through the raging storms of war
Steered safe our ship of state.
But Lincoln's DEATH by murder foul,
Brought Johnson TO the fore,
And after him came General Grant,
The hero of the war.
Then Hayes came ard then Garfield,
Struck down by traitors hand,
When Arthur took the vacant place,
And rules to-day the land.

LEMON buns are made of one quarter
of pound of butter, half pound of
sugar, one pound of flour, four eggs,
half teacup of. sweet milk, two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, add lemon
extract to your taste; currants, also, if
you choose. Bake in a moderate oven.
WILLOW BASKETS which have become
soiled or discolored may be made very
ornamental again by bronzing or gild-
ing them. The powder may be pur-
chased at any drug store. 1t should be
mixed with a little white varnish and
be applied with small and rather soft
brush.
4 NOVELTY in pancakes is made in
this way To two eggs allow two ounces
of -four, little salt, and milk enough to
make batter of medium thickness.
Beat the eggs until they are very light
before adding the -four; put lump of
butter into saucepan and then pour
in enough batter to make one large
cake; put in just enough to cover the
bottom of the pan nicely, as the cake
should be so thin that it will not need
to be turned. When the pancake is
done, sprinkle powdered sugar ever it
and roll it up; put on hot plate and
when you have three or four done send
them to the table. To make these cakes
very delicate flavor them with a little
lemon. A little thick raspberry jam
may be rolled in them if you please.
AN old-time receipt for chestnut
sauce to be eaten with turkey is GER
tainly not difficult to follow. Peel the
chestnuts and pour boiling water over
them, let them stand few minutes and
then the thin skin that covers them will
slip off easily. Then put tho chestnuts in
to saucepan, and for half pound of
chestnuts allow half pint of stock, put
a little piece of lemon peel into it; let
this simmer until the chestnuts are ten
der-an hour and a half is the time
usually required; then rub the whole
through fine sieve, add pepper and
little salt, and half coffee cupful of
cream let this simmer gently for q few
minutes; if the cream is not thick, the
sauce may need little -four to thicken
it. This should not be very hot when
served.

FOnnd no Poison.

DR.. Samuel X. Cox, D. D., Practical
Analytical Chemist, Washington, D. c.,
who made thorough and careful analyses,
reports that there is neither morphis,
Opium, emetics nor poisons in the Red
Star Cough Cure; that it must prove a
boon to those whose systems shrink
from the use of such compounds, and
especially to mothers, who justly dread
the evil, and, at times, fatal effects of
these dangerous drugs. He further
states it is not only free from all opiates,
poison and emetics, IA thing which not
one cough preparation in ten can boast
but it is all together an original and most
happy combination of the best remedial
agents, and is as harmless as it is eff
fective.
