Washing Childreu's Head,

That a child's head should be kept
srcupulously clean goes almost with
out saying; at least it does in theory,
if not always in practice. In infancy
the scalp is usually scrubbed as much
as the tender skin. and scanty hair
will stand, but when a child is three
or four years old O. proper washing OF
the scalp is not apt to be insis ted up
on as it should be. Nearly all nurses,
and large proportion of mothers,
are apt to devote far more thought to
child's dress and to It's bangs" or
curls than to the condition Gifts scalp.
AS natural consequence many beau
tiful and richly dressed children are
charming at distance. but when TAX
en- into the lap O. portion ofthe charm
Is instantly dispelled by an acumula-
ton of dust and oil upon the scalp
which the curly locks cannot hide, or
by an unpleasant odor, perhaps,
which inevitably results from lack
of soap and water. The scalp should
he kept clean, not so much to pre-
vent disease as to render the child
sweet and attractive. If frequent
washing did not improve the growth
of the hair (which it certainly does
and therefore claim attention on n.y.
gienic grounds, it would still add quite
as much, or more to child's attrac.
tiveness as washing of the body, and
hence becomes of the highest impor-
tance from q purely aesthetic point

How TO Have Good Butter,

From the Prairie Farmer.
Farmers and dairymen are not en-
tirely responsible for all the bad but
ter to be found in our markets. Much
that would otherwise have reached
the consumer in fair condition is ruin
ed in the grocer's hands by being stor-
ed in badly ventilated cellars and
other places with decayed vegetables,
kerosene, etc. The discriminating
taste OF the general public is also q
great hinderance to improvement in
the manufacture OF butter. Some few
there are who must have really good
butter, and are willing, if need be, to
pay high price for it; but it has been
rare for an ordinary farmer to meet
with such customers as these. The
general run of the public do not know
high class from inferior butter, unless
the butter is very bad. The story is
we'll known Of the clever grocer who,
when he got in frkin of butter,
used to saw it in half and label one
half twenty cents and the 9TH
er twenty-five cents; the GUS
toners tasted and looked know
ing, and generally came to the
conclusion that for the sake of five
cents they had better take the best:
and five firkips went off at twenty-five
cents pound for every one that was
sold at twenty cents. The fact IS,
there has been such quantity of in
ferior butter, forced on the market
that people have got used to it. The
most that can be said is that some is
less bad than others. Few know the
delicate aroma and nutty flavor OF
the best sweet cream butter. The
great majority of consumers are con-
tent if they get butter devoid ofstrong
taste or smell, hence the opening for
butterine, which is free from bad odor
and has no unpleasant taste, or rather
very little taste of any kind. But the
remedy lies largely in the hands OF the
butter producer. In the first place
every effort should be made to manu-
facture a good article, and market it
in attractive shape. Secondly, those
who can and do make good butter,
should seek market where such prod
ucts are appreciated. If the local deal
err pays one price for all butter, regard
less EQUALITY the butter maker should
transfer his business to some dealer
more nearly abreast with the times.
The "one-price" dealer will thus only
get the inferior article, and he will soon
change his policy. When the practice
OF paying for butter according to quail
ty becomes general, but little bad but
or will be pr duced.

Care of the Hands In Cold Weather.

The hands are prone to become rough
and chapped in cold and chaneeable
weather. Ii the water is hard it is al.
most impossible to prevent the crack.
ing OF the skin, but little borax mix
ed with the water will soften it and
prove beneficial. The skin of many
persons is. SO thin and sensitive that
it cannot bear the alkali of soap, and
in such cases almond bran, which can
be procured at the druggists; will be
found agreeable. the hands should
be moistened, and the bran rubbed
over them as fit were soap. 1t cleans
es and renders the skin soft. Almond
cream is a preventative of chapping.
1t should be bought in small quanti-
ties and kept securely covered, as ex-
posure to the air discolors and dries
it. Glycerine applied to the hands
when moist and thoroughly rubbed
in also has a softening effect. 1t is
said to darken the hands if used
constantly. IF the hands become
rough with the first approach of cold
weather it is absolutely necessary to
wear gloves at night. The gloves
should be very large and long enough
to cover the wrists. Some persons
prefer feecy-lined gloves, others kid.
It is of slight moment which are used,
provided they be several sizes larger
than those ordinarily worn. Great
suffering may be caused by wearing
gloves that are merely a comfortable
fit. The finger tips of the gloves may
be cut off, but this is not to be recon-.
mended, as every part of the hand
should be covered. AS to the use of
cold or warm water, the individual
must decide which is preferable. The
hands always must be thoroughly
dried alter washing, and they should
be rubbed toward the wrist, not to-
ward the tips of the fingers. This
method causes a proper circulation of
the blood and relieves the pressure
upon the veins so often uncomfort-
able in cold weather. Never 60 into
a draught Immediately after washing
the hands. When sweeping or dust
ing always wear pair ofgloves. Kid
mitts, extending above the knuckIes,
worn in the house are excellent for
keeping the skin soft and white.-N.

The Friendly Oyster,

The oyster is again IN our midst.
The oyster is a very good thing to
have in ones midst. 1t creates a
feeling of comfort and content, and

things than the oyster, but their
names are not known. The gentle
bivalve is the very essence of good.

The oyster is mankind's friend.
1t is as modest as it is useful. In it's
youthful days it afixes itself to an
object and stays there until compelled
to leave. II does not visit or CAD
about or 60 on excursions. 1t sticks
closer to it's perch than q politician

and get fat. AS the tides pass by 1t

ever of nutriment the currents bring

it stores away the succulence of the

its watery home. 1t comes to the
city, takes up it's residence in the raw

Save Seed Corn Nowl

some mothers that delicate children
are liable to take cold from having
the scalp carefully washed, is without
foundation. There is nothing that will
do SO much to lessen the tendency OF
some children to colds in the head or
sore throat as a daily washing OF the
scalp and neck in cold water, the
hair being subsequently dried by
means of soft Turkish towels. Once

shampooed with soap and warm wa.

many are practically carrying out
your views and drawing their supply
from this very state of Vermont. The
cones of the white or spruce pine are
purchased and the seed extracted and
sent to France, Germany and other
parts of Europe. One of the estab-
lishments has been at /. Strenahen's
place. about O. mile from here. Some
1000 bushels of cones have been pur-
chased at forty cents per bushel, de-
livered. These cones are placed on a
row of shelves exposed to the air and
sun. Each day they areinspected, and
as they open they are placed in bas.
kets, taken to the barn and
the seed failed out, cleansed and
placed in bags for shipment. 1t takes
an average OF five men daily for two
months to secure the seed from 1000
bushels. 1t IS calculated each bushel
will yield one pound OF seed. Near
Charlotte, VT, the same party has
branch of this business, but upon a
much larger scale-nearly double.
The cones there are picked about
Septsmb Der 1 from the trees, and then
are subjected to heated air passed
over them to cause them to open. As
