THE WOMAN HE IS TO MARRY.
That Is the Most Important Question "a Man
Has to Decide.


The pivot Gu which Il mans destiny
turns, either for good or for evil, Tor hap
plness or ior misery, is marriage. Ii you

haps confess to you, OF per-
haps he will not, but he will know it all
the same-he will tell you that the magnet
which first attracted him, and then guided
him with 4 master hand either to the
one or to the other, was the woman he
married.
| remember many years ago hearing of
the death bed of Il distinguished man, a
general whose military career had been so
brilliant and 80 invariably fortunate that
the world looked upon him as 4 perfectly
happy man. He had earned his hOnors, he
had served his country well, and he knew
on his death bed that he had done his duty.
His Queen had rewarded him, and his
honors had fallen thick and fast upon him
vet what were his last words:
As he gave the friend who was with him
the last clasp OF his hand and the last look
of his dying eyes, to that friends intense
establishment he said. Il thank God that
nv miserable lie is ended, There was
one in his regiment who had known him
frou hoyhood, had been educated with
him. had served under him, and was sup
posed to know everything about his past
life; to this man the friend who had heard
the dying words appealed. How

origin at the Lamp Chimney.

Algaud, a pool Swiss, invented a lamp
with q wick fitted into hollow cylinder,
up which a current Of air was permitted 10
pass, thus giving a supply OF Oxygen 10 the
interior as Well rs the exterior OF the cir
cuiar frame. Al first Arg3nd used the
lamp without Il glass chimney. One day
he was busy in his woTlroom and sitting
before his burning lamp. His little broth
er was amusing himself by placing a hot
tomlees oil lltsk over different articles.
Suddenly he placed j; over the flame of
the lamp, which instantly shot up the
long, circular rerk of the flask with in
creased hrilliancy. II dl more. l0r i.
flashed into Arpiud's mind the idea Of the
lamp chimney, by which his invention was
perfected.

Sow fodder corn and other fodder

Remember that thorough and clean
cultivation and warm rich soil are the
keys to success in corn culture.
Failure in ounce culture, according to
one grower, is attributable to lack of
nourIshment and inattention to borers
Cheese-makers, like butter makers,
are abandoning the idea that one COW is
as good as another, and are raising their
heifer calves.
A good condition powder should be
administered to fowls once or twice a
week 1t will keep them healthy and
ward off disease.
1t is most desirable to cultivate as
many early early blooming plants as
possible, to meet the anxious craving VI

The thick scales on fowls legs ale

To remove the scales apply kerosene oil

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
To ScaId Milk Properlv

The Boston Journal Of Health says: ''It
is recommended that the milk supply OF
cities be scalded as soon as received by
the consumers, to prevent its sourIng.
To scald milk properly the following
method is advis d: Take thin glass
bottle provided with a rubber cork, fiji i;
with milk nearly up to the neck, and
place it uncorkcd in a kettle of water,
which should then be gradually brought
to a boil. When steam has commenced
to escape from the bottle, cork 1t lightly
and continve the boiling for thirty five
to forty minutes and the process will be
complete. A bottle of milk thus pre-
pared, it is said, will remain sweet a
month if kept in a cool place and
tightly corked."

How to Kill and Dress a Fowl.

To dress fowl with the least trouble,
hang it up by the feet SO that it will
drop a convenient height, and attach a
wire hook to the under beak of the fowl,
to which hang half brick. Sever the
jugular vein with a sharp knife, and
proceed to pick, holding the wings with
one hand while you pick with the other.
Work quickly. Get most of the feathers
off the breast side with three or four
hand pulls, and change the wings to the
other hand held across the breast Of the
fowl, and with few pulls get most of
the feathers off the back. Grasp one
wing at time, and pull out the long
feathers az one stroke. Then finish up
the picking entirely before the fowl is
taken down. When done, chop off the
head, take a sharp knife and cut through
the skin around the vent, being careful
not to sever the intestine. Pull gently,
and as the intestine comes out insert the
forefnger and bring out the intestines
rapidly, but do not break them. Get
them out up to the gizzard, and break off
there by the thumb and forefnger, and
your fowl is ready for market. If you
wish to make ready to cook, the hole
must be slightly enlarged and the giz-
card pulled out, cut open and the inner
lining removed, with all gravel, food,
etc. A slit must be made in the breast
and the crop removed, which should be
empty when the fowl is killed. Some
people remove the lungs. 1t is not nee
essary. The heart should be removed
and washed, as some clotted blood is
usually around it. The operation of pre-
pairing fowl for market can be done by
an expert sometimes in three minutes

The Philosophy of Churning.

The belief that the small particles of
butter In the cream must be liberated by
the friction in the churn before the but
ter can be gathered is altogether wrong
and makes trouble for the Duttermaker.
Liberated from what? Possibly the i'm
aginary envelope or pellice or skin which
has been said to inclOse the globules
of oil VIII. oh form the butter when they
are gathered into mass. The fact is,
these small globules which form about
One-third of the mass of the cream are
thrown together by the churning and as
they meet each other adhere and form
small granules and these uniting form
pellets or grains, and if still longer
churned these gather into one lump.
When the grains are formed the butter
milk separates from them aud swashes
or spIashes in the churn, making pc
culiar sound, which every one who knows
anything about churning recognizes as
an indication that the butter is made
and only needs gathering. One cubic
inch OF cream contains about 5000, 600,
900 butter globules.-Neso York Times.

FARM AND GARDEN.
How the Best Pork is Made.

Hr. F. ID. Curtis, says in the New
York World, the best pork he ever made
on the farm was made by feeding six
teen old hogs, twice day, five bushels
of turnips and swedes, boiled and mixed
with a half bushel ofrye, ground entire.
Three weeks before killing time, the
rye was increased to three pecks at each
meal. The turnips were cooked in a
potash kettle, which held, heaping full,
ten bushels. When boiled until soft,
they were shoveled into barrel, and the
kettle filed again; these were cooked
with about half the fire required for the
first lot. The troughs were filed with
the turnips, the meal spread on, and the
mass worked together with hoe. The
hogs were then allowed to pitch in.

The wheeIbarrow on the Farm.

How often we must move things too
heavy to carry, yet not heavy enough to
Justify the hitching up of team to haul
them. But the team must be hitched
and half an hour is consumed, when the
article could have been moved with a
wheelbarrow in five minutes. The rail-
road barrow is the cheaper, and answers
well enough for conveying dirt, manure
or Vegetables; but the garden barrow,
with higher wheel and movable side
boards, is more convenient 1t is the
all-purpose barrow. Let the wheelbar-
row be named first among the labor-sav-
ing devices of man. 1t truly lengthens
life, for it saves energy; and it makes
life more pleasant, for it coEduces to
ease. 1t costs little and lasts long when
we'll cared for, More than half of it
can be made by the farmer. If you have
not one, and are unable to buy one,
make what you can of it and have the
blacksmith complete it, and you, too,
will sing the praises of the wheelbarrow.
