Increased Use of Potatoes.

About four million tons OF potatoes
are used annually in Great Britain,
and most OF these are homegrown.
The average production is 233 bushels
per acre. This large use OF potatoes
is of comparatively recent origin.
Two hundred years ago the potato
food was almost unknown. Forty
years ago potatoes were much less ex-
tensively used than is the case at
present. In the Northern States we
use more potatoes per inhabitant than
do the people in Ireland.

ONE STEP MORE.
BY c. c. GIBSON.


What? Though before it is dark,
Too dark for one to see,
l ask but light for one step more,
IT'S quite enough for me.
Each little, humble step take,
The gloom clears from the Dext;
SO though It's very dark beyond,
never am perplexed.
And if sometimes the mist hangs close,
So close | fear to stray,
Patient / wait a little while,
And soon it clears away
! would mot see my future path"
For mercy wells il so;
Ny present steps might harder be,
Did the future know.
II may be that my path is rough,
Thorny, and hard, and steep;
And knowing this my strength might fail
Through fear and terror deep.
1t may be that it winds along
A smooth and fiowery way;
But seeing this / might despise
The journey OF the day.
Perhaps my path is very short
Ny journey nearly done,
And | might tremble at the thought
OF ending II so soon.
And so do not wish to see
My Journey or its length.
Assured that through my Father s love
Each step will bring It's strength.
Thus step by step l onward go,
Nor looking far before,
Trusting that / shall always have
Light for just one step more.

l HAVE been afflicted with catarrh for 20
years. 1t had become chronic, and there
was a constant dropping OF mucous mat
ter from the roof of my mouth. 1t extend
ed to my throat, causing hoarseness and
great difficulty in speaking, indeed for
years / was not able to speak more than
thirty minutes, and often this with great
difficulty. | also, to a great extent, lost
the sense OF hearing in the left ear, and OF
taste. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm
have received more relief than from all
other remedies beside. All dropping of mu-
cos has ceased end my voice and hearing
are greatly improved.-Jas. W. Davidson,

Gilt-EdRe Butter.

Those few butter-makers who pride
themselves on making strictly choice,
fresh parcels for the most fastidious
customers never fail to provide for
new mich COWS every month in the
year. The butter product from COW
long in milk is insipid, favorless, lack
ing character. The Darlingtons OF
Pennsylvania, in their celebrated but
ter diaries, never milk COWS over four
months after coming in. They de-
mand freshness and character in their
butter, which cannot be secured from
the product of cows eight or ten
months in milk. This seems but a
minor point, yet it is important to
those who are determined to secure
and maintain the reputation for the
choicest butter. This inferiority in
quality is of course more noticeable in
winter, when the COWS are mainly on
dry feed, than when the June pasture
adds flavor and aroma to the butter
product Of that season. Even then,
COWS fresh In milk add increased value
to the output of butter.
Dairymen should ever bear in mind
that their only hope of competing with
hog butter and melted lard and cotton
seed oils to produce only the choicest
dairy butter. Educate the tastes OF
people up to the use OF the highest
standard, and then honestly supply
the demand. Oleomargarine can new
er supplant what is known as gilt
butter, but it revels in the competition
with the low grade butter made by the
careless, shiftless farmer. Those dai.
rymen who do not observe the hand.
writing on the wall, and who continue
the production OF inferior parcels, will
be driven from the business under a
cloud OF loss and disappointment
The consumer who has had the oppor
tunity of spreading his bread with
choice, fresh, highly favored aromatic
dairy butter viii never become a will
ing purchaser Of butterine Or oleomar
garlne.

Poultry Notes.

The question is often asked, Glow
long can an egg be kept after it is laid
before it must be set ?" Eggs that are
transported by rail should be as fresh
as possible, as the white of an egg gets
thin IN few days, and the older the
egg the thinner the white. If kept and
set at home an egg will hatch at four
weeks old, and perhaps older, but we
never keep them after four weeks
They should be turned once in day
or two if laid on their side. II kept
on the small end they will not need to
be changed. The object in turning is
to keep the yolk from touching the
shell.
Now that spring is upon us, look

Necessary Appliances in Dsirying.

One reason why so much poor but
ter is made is because those who make
it have not the convenience for doing
the work in the best manner. Only
two or three cows are kept, the butter
money belongs to the wife, and the
husband, who holds the purse strings,
thinks it not worth while to spend
much to make dairying successful
But the money for new binder or
mower is quickly Forthcoming. Yet
very often creamery and icehouse on
the same farm would pay better in
terest on the cost.

was sung, and the crowd exhorted to
be still Drawer, they started for Mr..

called for the dog, little rat terrier.
But what! what! Mr. DisbrOw saws:
