A Word for the Separator.

r. E. Allen of Shrewsbury, Mass,
writes as follows to the Homestead
81 am a constant reader of the Hna0e-
stead and see a great many state
ments in it about the advantages of
the .cream-gathering system, espec-
iallv in the use of the Cooley cans.
l happen to be one of the propri-
etors of the Shrewsbury creamery,
whose butter was awarded the first
and great prize at the fair of the
Bay State Agricultural Society held
at Boston-the largest prize, think,
ever offered for butter. Our cream
cry is operated in such way as
to give US an opportunity of judg-
ing of the merits of the two systems
now in use. About one-half of our
daily production of butter is made
from cream raised in Cooley cans
and gathered at the farmers door !;
the other half, We gather the whole
milk and separate the cream by the
De Leval separator. Both ways
have their advantages. If you
are where you can dispose of
the skim-milk to advantage | should
recommend the separator every time.
1t not only separates the cream, but
it also collects all those particles
which unavoidably find their way into
the milk, and which, in the Cooley
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1888-07-30
can, settle at the bottom, and more
or less of them are drawn off with
the cream.
When To Sell.

Nearly every year we hear of some
farmer who held his produce of some
kind for q rise, and who had to sell
it at a loss. People should know by
this time that injurious causes are
mainly local, and that when a certain
price is offered some part of the
world will supply the demand. Last
fall farmers were alarmed over the
scarcity of potatoes, and offered So
a bushel in some cases for enough
to plant, to be delivered in the
spring. But our markets were filled
with foreign potatoes all winter at
less than 81 bushel, and the best
selected for seed were offered at
$1.05; but now we hear of farmers
jobbing off their old potatoes in small
lots for 20 cents, after holding them
all winter for the expected rise. 1t
is safe to watch the movements in
the market and not go with the rush,
for when most people are selling
there will soon be a scarcity, and
when the majority are holding on
there is not much chance for rise,
but on the whole, waiting for ex-
treme prices with perishable products
is apt to be disastrous.

Work.
We meet temperance men on every

We meet temperance men on every
hand who talk temperance by the
hour and who never tire of explain
ing the great evil that the liquor traf
fic is doing. They are apparently
interested in the cause, but you will
observe that they are not workers.
They are takers. They are willing
to give some of their influence for
temperance so long as it does not re-
quire them to make any special effort.
They will cheer Justify over victory
if some else will only do the fighting.
There are plenty of such men in every
community they are sure to be found
everywhere you go. They might be
properly classed as camp-followers-
as noncombatants.
Are these men doing their duty?
It is an idle question to ask. Any
one can easily see that if they meant
what they profess they would go to
work. They are an actual hindrance
to the cause which they profess to
aid. By their example they discour-
age others. Ten actual workers in
any community are worth more to the
cause than fifty inactive lukewarm
professors of temperance. There is
no excuse for any man to say that he
cannot help the work along. Every
man can do something if he would
only make up his mind to 60 to work.
Some men say that if they only had
time they would be willing to help in
the cause. That IS mistake-it is
an assertion that no one believes ex-
cept the man who makes it, and if he
would consider for q while he would
doubt it himself. If a man actually
wants to work for temperance he will
take the time to do at least some
work. The parties who do work have
to take time which they could readily
devote to something else, but they
are interested and are ready and will
ling to make some sacrifice in order
to help the cause. Every man can
do this-yes, every man who actually
favors temperance can take time TO
do some work if he is only willing to
make the sacrifice for the sake of
helping the cause. Selfshness- alb
solute self shness is the cause of mac
tivity of a large part of the advocates
of temperance.
Another class of people say that if
they only had the means they would
work for temperance. Nine tenths
of these are not willing to and do not
use the means they have. The best
temperance workers to-day are per-
sons of limited means, but they are
willing to make some sacrifice for the
cause they endorse.
You may deceive Yourself, but you
can not deceive others. The actual
depth of your temperance conviction
is we'll understood in Your own COM
mnnity.-Amendnaem Herald.

Strawberry Vines after They
Have borne their Wholesome
Fruit.

The Philadelphia Record says that
after the strawberry crop has been
taken off, the success of the next
year largely depends on the treat
ment given the vines from then I'M
til winter comes on. There are two
modes of cultivation, the first being
the removal of all vines except one
on a space, which is known as the
s'single-stooP' plan, and the other
is the close mating of the vines in
rows being about one foot wide,
with room between the rows for cul-
tivation. The advocates of the
close or matted system claim that
the dense foliage resulting from a
number of plants growing very close
ly together is a protection in warm,
dry weather, serving as a mulch,
and preventing the effects of late
frosts in the spring and ''scalding'
of the berries later on, and that the
cultivation of the spaces between the
rows is sufficient. This is true to
certain extent, but it depends on the
soil and the season. The stool sys-
tenn is that which allows but one
plant on a space, the runners being
kept off, and the plants given ample
room for growth. By the stool sys-
tenn each plant can be cultivated
close to the main stem and the fer
tilizer applied direct to the roots.
Weeds can be easily kept down and
the life of the plant extended. The
largest and best berries are grown
under the stool system, and the
crop is more easily harvested in the
spring. The strawberry propagates
itself in two ways-by runners and
by seed. If the runners be kept
from roofing the vine will make an
effort to reproduce itself from seed
in the spring, and some horticultu-
rists have given as their opinion
that if the vines be not allowed to
throw out runners in the summer
there will be no loss of vitality by
the old plants, and the matter in
tended to be converted into runners
will be stored in the plants and con-
verified into fruit when the proper
time arrives. The first thing to do
now is to thoroughly clean between
the rows and pull out the weeds be-
tween the plants in the rows, so as
to give the bed the benefit of the |
hoe as much as possible. Moist
ture is always beneficial to straw
berry plants, and the ground should |
be worked deep at first and then
kept loose on the surface until late
in the fall, when the vines may be
mulched with advantage. It is be-
coming a custom to burn the entire
bed over after the plants die down
and the leaves are withered. This,
it is claimed, will enable the plants
to begin anew in the spring, the old |
plants being thereby invigorated,
the ashes providing potash and the
seeds of weeds destroyed; but it is
best to experiment with only row
for the first trial. Manure may be !
placed over plants before winter sets
in, to remain as mulch until early
in the spring, when it should be |
worked into the soil and clean mulch |
substituted.

Purify Your Blood.

Bodily and mental health depend upon
q healthy condition of the blood. The
blood particularly in the spring and
summer months, becomes clogged with
impurities, which poison it and generate
disease. A harmless blood purifier is
necessary to restore a healthy tone.
The best purifier and tonic known is
Swift's Specific IS. S. 81. Of it's won
derful purifying and tonic powers we
give few testimonials:
Mr.. VIM. A. Siebold, with George 2.
Rowe1l & Co., 10 Spruce Street, New
York, writes: 81 feel it my duty, for
the benefit of others who may be af-
flicted as l was, to write you this letter,

Tempted to His Ruin

WAS cdiieu dG ten y CLOCK one Sat
urday night to go as speedily as pos
sible to certain house on Water street.
The family, which was one of oul
standing s'poor families lived in a
dismal old rookery that was only two
stories high on the street, but ran
down to the rivers edge so that in
the rear, as seen from the river. it
was four stories high. / made nv
way down shaky outside stairway
that on that particular, gusty, drip
ping night, seemed to end nowhere.
/ came at last to a narrow rickety
balcony that ran across the end of
the building. could hear the water
tapping under my feet.
| found the door of the room open
and perfect silence and darkness
reigning within. I stood an instant
at the door, when a woman's voice
came from the darkness. "You'd
better not come in. He's awful bad
tonight. The voice seemed to arouse
some huge beast on the floor that i'm
mediately began to snarl and grunt
and crawl round on the floor and to
scrabble heavily and aimlessly about.
The mother had heard the beast COM
ing, and had hastily thrown the chill
dren on the bed, and had planted
herself in front of them. There were
that delicate mother and her three
little children comforted by darkness,
cold, hunger, terror; and he who
should have come with light and COM
fort and protection was transformed
to that beast. [ am not going to tell
you how the problem was solved for
that night, but tell you what l learn
ed afterward. The father was trying
to reform. We had been helping him.
He had worked we'll that week and
was returning home with his wages
in his pocket. The saloon keeper
saw him coming, and hailed him:
"Comin' in, amt We, john"
"No. Not tonight
'EOh, come on IN ! / got something
to show We; something new. Just
come in. See here, I've got a new
stock. Here's the incest thing you
ever see. Just taste of that. 'Twon't
cost you nothing
81 declare, that is good,' says poor
doomed John. ''Just give me little
of that. I'm tired as a dog"
Then Johns wages began to pass
into the pocket of the saloon keeper.
When the last penny had been trans
ferred, and John was approaching the
dangerous condition, he was hustled
into the street, and after time made
his way home, and then the minister
was called and found the black den
overhanging the river, the children
thrown on the bed, and the poor
mother planted in front of them, and
the beast snarling and granting and
scrabbling heavily on the floor.
AS | stepped out upon the little
balcony and looked up and down the
dark river, whose breath came in
cold, damp gusts, whose gloomy wa
tiers were sliding swiftly beneath, l
said, wish he had taken them all,
mother and children, and hurled them
into the river; for the dark river is
infinitely kinder than the fate that
awaits them. | said, whose business
is it to defend these helpless and in
nocent creatures? / cannot stand
guard always at the mouth of this
den. The husband and father is past
hope. You might as we'll pray to
death itself as to that saloon keeper.

fenseless ones, the mother and the
