The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1886-09-03

What do you propose doing towards secur-
ing good teacher for your school this VIM
ter. Make all effort this year to improve the
school, Find out what teachers can be Sc
cured before you go to the school meeting.
Talk things over with your neighboIs, aud see
what they want. Put some good business
man on the school board, and support him
heartily in all needed reforms Make the
grounds attractive and the house comfortable,
even if it does cost little to do 1t. Visit the
school as often as you can. Tell your children
to mind the teacher, and never encourage
them in rebellion. If you think the school is
unfit for them to attend, take them out of it,
and do not send them there to carry on all
authorized INSTRUMENTATION. Watch the
teacher, and still be reasonable with him. II
your boy does not learn as rapidly as he
should, see if some of the fault is not in the
boy. If you neglect the school, you neglect
your duty as citizen. -Rural New Yorker.

THE INDIAN WAY.

When a papoose is no more than years
old its mother dumps it into the water and
lets its kick for itself. She has band tied
around it under the arms and holds it up by
the back just SO the water will not strangle
it. In this way it very shortly gets the mo-
tions, for Indians almost take to swimming
naturally.
But for civilized persons the process is
much more difficult 1t is bad advice to tell
anybody to plunge in hit or miss, and get
half strangled, that it doesn't matter The
proper way is to learn the right motion first
and then get somebody who knows well how
to swim to go along with you. A careful,
trusty friend, who won't try to fool you or
play tricks on you is the right one.
Get the breast stroke while still standing
upon your feet in the water. Put your arms
straight out before you, with the palms of
your hands together. Then separate them
suddenly and wave your arms around to-
wards the sides, turning them as they go, to
row yourself forward. One very important
point is that you must keep the fingers of
each hand closed tight together as you wave
the hand around for the stroke The frog
has the advantage of the man here, for his
fingers are webbed and held together already.
A fine thin membrane grows between them.
Practice until you get the breast stroke very
thoroughly. You will need to go into the
water many, many times, probably, before
you can swim, but never get discouraged. 1t
will come by and by. Often ladies and gen.
tlemen learn long after they are full grown.
The next is the leg stroke, or kicking out.
This is more difficult, that is it is difficult to
get the legs and arms to work together. On
this point Mr.. Gus Sundstrom, the champion
swimmer, says:
"Kick out as your arms are being extended
for stroke, and draw up your legs while
making the stroke That is the moment at
which to get your breath, as the water is then
smooth in front of you, and less apt to get
into your mouth. 1t is well to accusto;a
yourself to breathe only at every third
stroke, as it will help you very much in rough
water. In kicking out, strike the soles OF
your feet against the water, as though
you were pushing yourself up in bed.
Spread your legs far apart as you
kick, and then, when they are fully extended,
comes an important point iu swimming. Do
not jerk them up for another kick, as igno-
rant swimmers do, but draw them tight
together, as though your legs were pair of
shears with which you wanted to cut the
water. By thus closing your legs on the
water you will add almost as much to your
speed as by the first kick. In swimming
upon the back the legs do most of the work.
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1886-09-03
She Shot the Bees.

The other day as an Ohio bee man was go
ing to the field to work he told his daughter,
q buxom lass of IS, that certain stock
of bees didn't act right, and told her to watch
them, and il they swarmed and tried to go
Off, to shoot them, looking at his wife and
laughing as he said it, but never dreaming
that she would do anything Of the kind. But
pretty soon out came the bees; but not max
ing any attempt to alight, they rose right up
from the hive and began to move away. She,
seeing they were going, concluded something
must be done to stop them, so she ran into
the house and grabbed a shotgun loaded with
heavy cartridge Of shot, and out and after
them. By this time they had got off quite a
piece, and were rising rapidly in the air, in u
funnel-shaped cloud, and were getting nearly
out of sight, evidently fixing for long
flight when she raised her gun, braced her.
self, and pointing the muzzle straight at
them, blazed away. She says shot bird
would not have dropped to the ground any
quicker than those bees did where they
clustered on a little bush, and she hived them
at her leisure. Well, that shot took the
romance all out of them, for they went right
to work like good bees.-Gleanings

To Preserve Eggs.

The simplest and most effective way, and,
indeed, the most economical, to preserve eggs,
without imparting to them any foreign flavor,
Or rendering them unfit for cooking, is to use
the patent stopper glass jar, with vulcanized
India rubber joints to make it perfectly tight,
like the jars for preserving fruit Assoon as
the eggs are collected put the jars into hot
water, and when thoroughly warm, so as to
rarity the air, put the eggs in the jar, the
pointed ends upward, and pack them with
paper or something to prevent them from
breaking, then close the jar before taking it
out of the water. If the work is slilfully
done, and the jar is tight, the eggs will keep
for many months, and be as fit for the break
fast table as the day they were laid.
The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1886-09-03
How to Sell,

1t is estimated that about one-half of those
who sell farm products get an average of 10
per cent. less for their goods than they other
wise would owing to inattention in selling.
The National Stockman discussing this sub
ject, says great many people sell their grain
and their live stock and their hay and their
wool for a little less than they could if the
matter of selling were more thoroughly
studied; but the greater losses come in the
handling of what are usually considered the
lesser farm products. The time of selling is
most important consideration, and in the
products enumerated is perhaps as great as
any other; but in these the matter of putting
up, shipping and placing in the hands of the
consumer is of no less consequence, while in
the lesser products these may be said to be
almost everything In butter and eggs and
poultry and fruit and vegetables, nearly all
of which must be sold when ready, a proper
observance of all these things means a differ
ence of from one-third to one-half in the
prices obtained. Here are some questions
which the farmer should answer: % In what
form will my product best please the con-
sumner! CT How can l get it to him in the
freshest and best condition! Co) How can |
lessen the expense of transpo tation between
US! (D How can I most directly reach him
without the Intervention of too many Others
to share my profits! " How can | best be-
come known myself as a prompt and careful
shipper of choice article of my own produc-
ton! G) What does my market most need
that l can furnish it, and where can | find
the best market for all l have to sell

Disease of the Ounce.

The Massachusetts Ploughman says: For
several years there has been disease at work
on the ounces which, unless checked. bids fair
to entirely destroy them 1t is species of
fungus which affects both the wood and the
fruit. The first cause of this disease is be-
lieved by some to be the long continued prac
tice Of renewing, CT rather propagating, trees
from cuttings instead of the seed. The wood
has thus become old and has gathered up
diseases that it is very difficult to cure 1t is
claimed by some that the new seedlings are
exempt from disease but if set in the vicinity
of diseased trees there would be danger that
they would not be able to ward off the disease,
however healthy they might be when trans
planted. The diseased trees may be improved
by cutting off all the diseased wood and burn
ing it,

Onion yTagpOt.

An onion planter says that he sowed half
all acre of onions a few years ago. They
came up splendidly, but soon the maggot
commenced to prey on them, and continued
to do SO until he became discouraged, and he
thought If they continued to eat one week
longer his prospect for crop of onions would
be ruined He sent and got five gallons Of
tar and put one gallon into forty gallons Of
water, and stirred it up thoroughly SO as to
give it the tar scent. He sprinkled his onions
over once with this tar water, doing it with
common watering pot. He saw no more eff
fects of the maggots, and had a nice yield of
onions. He thinks that the scent of the tar
water drives the fly away, and it was by this
means that he saved his crop of onions

The three hanges at the bottom of each ca
are shown in the figure to the right of illus
tration 2. It represents the bottom of a can
blocks of wood shaped as shown at a.. When
the cans are set in the tank they are turned
until the fanges slide under these blocks,
which hold them securely in position, and
down to the bottom, whether they be full of
milk or contain on small quantity. When
they are to be taken out slight turn lOosens
them. Each can should have two strong
handles near the top, and Lay have cover
or not, as desired.
This convenient home made can is described
by Fred Grundy in The Rural New Yorker.
Where the farmer is fortunate enough to
have flowing spring of cold water, the half
barrel may be plunged into the outlet from
it and place followed out deep enough for
it to rest in. This will do away with chang
ing the water so often. The hollow for the
barrel should be shaded. Indeed, where there
is such spring the half barrel may be done
away with altogether and the cans simply
plunged into the water with weights about
them to keep them steady.
If the farmer has an ice house, the water
will not need to be changed. Simply place
chunks of ice about the cans. AS they melt
the milk will be cooled. The modern idea of
cream-raising is to chill the milk quickly.
This contracts it and, it is said, causes the
cream to rise rapidly and thoroughly. Long,
slim earthenware jars may be used to contain
the milk, if the tin cans are not desired.

Things to Do and to Know.

Go into the fall blowing vigorously.
Get the land ready for fall wheat at once.
Sow rye early in September for first spring
pasture. 1t will come in ahead of grass.
Cut off the pickles when of the desired size.
Pulling or twisting them off Injuries the vines.
A register of every horse and mule in
France is kept by the government for refer
ence in case of war, when the government
may need to call for horses.
The pea tree is attracting nyich attention
as a lawn tree, on account of its beauty and
hardness. Its foliage is like that of the
acacia, and it is native of Russia.
Among the products of Shasta county, Cali

To Cool Water Without Ice.

Procure large jug, and cover it to thick
ness of half an inch with one or more layer of
any kind of coarse cloth, carpet or other ma
terial. When filling the jug saturate the
jacket with water. Reep the jug in windy,
shady place. and the evaporation of the water
in the jacket will absorb enough heat to keep
the water in the jug pleasantly cool. This is
called the cooling jacket method
A tin pail, fitted with very fine wire
gauze lid, and a heavy saturated jacket, set in
a raised shady window furnishes far better
place to keep milk pure and sweet than nine
tenths of the household refrigerators, which
usually contain a little of everything else but
sweetness

Among the farmers in some parts of tho
country the old milk trough and low, wide
gallon crooks are being displaced by the more
compact, convenient and infinitely superior
apparatus shown in Figs. and g. They have
not yet adopted the patent creamer, chiefly
because of its COST but this contrivance is
long step toward it. 1t saves large portion
OF the labor now expended over the clumsy
crock and milk trough system, is much
cheaper, and requires less than one-half the
amount of ROOM 1t is simply barrel cut in
two and having faucet near the bottom to
draw off the water see Fig. 1. 1t should
have close-ftting, light cover to exclude
dirt, vermin, etc. The cans can be made by
any timer. They are seven inches in diane

OF each are three fanges three-fourths to one
inch wide and about one and one-half inches
