selling, l fancy you wouldn't know
anythingl" Here one of the twins APP
peared on the scene, bowling and
shaking bloody finger he had cut with
the chopping-knife. l rushed for the
old linen bag, and Samuel started
for the barn to do those ubiquitous
chores" that seem to be always wait
ing ready for him. But brooded over
that remark of his that / have heard
so often repeated, and / have reached
the conclusion that though Samuel was
unjust in his sweeping assertion, yet
he was partly-not wholly-right. l
think women as class are narrow and
one-sided in their views of many things.
Nor do / see how it can possibly be
otherwise, as their lives run from the
cradle to the grave, their nature is not
developed on all sides, so as matter of
course they are one-sided, so TO speak.
But this is no sign of inferiority to
men; it is not the fault of the natural
organization, but of the conditions of
her life. Women who are not confined
to the routine of home life, but 90 out
and mix in the worlds work, who look
at life from different standpoints, are
not developed so unevenly. They I'M
derstand more of business ways; their
minds have larger scope; they know
something" as Samuel would express
it, but l doubt little if he, as most
other Samuels, would enjoy having
such woman to keep his Jingle
nook " any better than the woman who
"don't know anything" In point of
fact, think that sort would know too
much to suit ny Samuel and most
others, and would make it little I'M
comfortable for them. However that
may be, it is manifestly unjust to criti-
else the business capacity of women
who have never had chance to find
out whether they have such capacity or
not. l have in my mind now two
widows who have each managed farm
and cared for family several years,
and are more successful in business
way than their husbands were. No
doubt it has been much harder for
them than it was in their husbands
lifetime, but they are successful.

tenn, the temperature need be almost
Immediately reduced to forty degrees
or less, or the cream will not all rise
before the milk has thickened. The
salt should be evenly worked in,
otherwise the butter will be streaked.
White specks in butter, in his own ex-
perience, was caused by either one of
two things, generally by particles of
dried cream or more rarely by keeping
the cream too long before churning.
Mr.. Tintham strongly urged the farm
ers to adopt trademark and impress it
on the butter in packages of such size
that they will reach the consumer I'M
broken, so that if the product is of
fine quality demand will be created
for it, and it can readily be identified
by consumer and marketman. Do not
put it up in small pats, as there is al
most invariably a surplus in market.
He used himself box containing five
pounds. Cleanliness is one of the
most important of the essentials. We
are apt to attribute all faults in this
respect to the housewife, but there is
much more butter spoiled before the
milk reaches the milk-room than after.
Filthy stables is one of the most fruit
full causes. Use metal milking-pails.
In washing wooden utensils never use
soap, simply scalding with boiling
water. In the discussion it was
brought out that it was not necessary
that cream should be brought to any one
degree of temperature before churning.
In the experience of the speaker he
had found that unwashed butter kept
better than the washed Great atten-
ton must be paid to the care of the
cattle, both as to their health and
cleanliness. The lecture was one of
the most interesting yet given, and can
not fail to be of value to all dairymen
who were present.-BurlingtOn Free

IN looking over the Household de-

Hew to Make Butter.

The auditorium of the Experiment
Station was filled yesterday afternoon
by large and intelligent audience of
farmers and others interested in dairy
ing to listen to the lecture on "Prime
Essentials for Making First-cass But
ter" by O. M. Tinkham of Pomfret,
president OF the Vermont Dairymen's
Association. President Buckham in
troduced the speaker with few pleas
ant remarks. The speaker first consid
cred the subject from the negative side.
There are three systems-shallow set
ting, deep cold setting, including the
submerged, and third, the centrifugal
system. 1t is not necessary to adopt
either system. Just as good butter can
be made from the shallow system as the
deep setting, providing certain condi-
tions are complied with. Many are
claiming now that granulated butter is
the only correct form. This is not so.
The maker must cater to the taste of
the consumer. One will like kind of
butter that another will dislike. Neither
should any particular rule be followed
in sailing butter, but salt to the taste of
the consumer. In his own experience
he found that unwashed butter brought
him the better returns. There seemed
to be peculiar rich taste in the I'M
washed butter that the washed product
did not possess. Mr.. Tinkham referred
to an instance where, taking washed
and unwashed butter from the same
churning to dairymen's meeting, the
Judges, with but one exception, pro-
nounced the latter superior to the
former. 1t is not necessary for the best
butter to be worked only once. Neither
is it necessary that the butter should
not be touched by hand. The speaker
said that there was not rule laid down
by theoretical butter-makers that the
intelligent dairyman cannot break with
impunity, with perhaps the exception
of cleanliness. 1t is not necessary to
use any particular style or manufacture
of churn. 1t is claimed by many that
there should be no floats or sticks in
the interior of the churn, as they would
break the butter globules. Now let us
see. A butter globule is from l-2, 900 to
10000 of an inch in diameter, of sc
small size thirty of them could be
placed on the point of a No. cambria
needle. Any one can see from this thai
no churn can break them. 1t was once
claimed that the globule was in an en-
velope which had to be broken, but more
modern microscopists now agree tina
there is no such envelope. The prime
essentials are, first, you must have {
frst-class COW. If you have gooC
butter COW, don't care of what strain
breed from her. You must feed he
what you want. Some claim that tn,
food has no effect upon the milk, Blu
the speaker thought differently. Prom
inent dairymen pay the greatest atten
ton to feeding. No strong food, sucl
as ensilage or cotton-seed meal, shoul'
be fed to great extent. In setting tn
milk, if you use the deep-setting sys

The Farmers Seventy Years.


Ali there he is, lad, at the plow
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoe'r the task might be,
None ever saw him shirk
And he can laugh, too, till his eyes
Run over with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an oldtime song
In spite of seventy years.
Good morning, friendsl tits twelve o'clock;
Time for half-hour's rest"
And farmer John took ont his lunch
And ate it with a zest.
"a harder task it is," said he,
THAN following up these steers
Or mending fences, far, for me
To feel my seventy years.
You ask me why feel so young;
I'm sure, friends, can't tell,
But think 1t is my good wife's fault
who's kept me up so well;
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears.
She's given me love and hope and strength
For more than forty years.
And then my boys have all done well,
As far as they have gone
And that thing warns old mans blood
And helps him up and on.
My girls have never caused a pang
Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale at seventy years.
why don't my good boys do my work
And let me sit and rest?
All friends that wouldn't do for me,
like my own way best.
They have their duty: have mine,
And till the end appears
mean to smell the SOIL my friends"

"A. G. W." also asks: "Will some
one who has used the cement paint for
kitchen floors please report. If it is
good thing we housekeepers wish to
know it. 1t is recommended to dry
quickly. Will it scale off if applied
over old oil paints?" Concerning this
paint the editor will remark that it has
been tried in his domicile with less sat
isfactory results than ever before given
by any floor paint used The fault
may have been in the method of APP
plying it, though the directions were
followed as closely as possible. 1t was
tacky for long time after it be-
came dry enough to walk over, and
white spots show where the table
legs stood before the table was moved,
though it was a week or two after
painting before the room was used.
The good wife says it washes off now
every time the floor is washed, after
six months use, and she wishes il
would all wash Off" This is the eXpe-
rience of one user; others may have
been more fortunate. A professor of
chemistry and now a practical manu-
facturer of paints said to us the other
day: There is no better paint for floor
than good lead and raw oil, with Japan
for drier." He said where boiled oil
was used the paint would dry on top,
forming a skin and under that it would
never dry; at best, it would not harden
in long time. We have seen paint
which appeared all right and could be
walked upon without any trouble that
would peel up if table or chair were
pushed on it, showing undried paint
underneath. Another old painter of
forty years experience advises the use

The Man In the Case.

Since woman was created
There has been an awful stir
About the part she plays on earth
All blame Is lain on her.
Let any wickedness he done,
At any time or place,
And saints and sinners do declare,
:" A woman in the case'
Some fool to suicide inclined
Blows out his little brain,
Now, mark my words-a woman"
Every prophet will exclaim.
Or " some fool another fool
Dispatches from this life
It's significantly mentioned,
He has a pretty wife"
If man, thief by nature,
Steals his employer blind
And goes alone to Canada,
The girl was left behind"
Or II he's seen a-talking with
A woman on the way,
The woman in the case goes, too"
The daily papers say.
Now this thing makes us women
All too miserably feel,
But for our dire existence
Men would never kill nor steal
In fact, II Eve to Adam
The Lord had never given
This earth had so continued
A suburban sort of heaven.
1t occurs to me. however,
From another point of view,
Had we ne'er been given Adam
We could have heaven, too.
If the world were only women
We could keep 1t free from crime,
For doesn't the " old Adam"
Work the mischief every time?
1t was Eve who gave the apple
That has brought us all our woe
But with no one there to takei 1t
She could never have done so.
Though men will kill and steal for us,
Because we are so dear,
You should mind they fix our value
BY their own existence here.
When you come to think 1t over,
One conclusions very sure,
Had they never been created,
We would ne'er have sought to lure
Their poor souls from paths of virtue;
They from blame are not exempt
Do we lead them to temptation
They have tempted us to tempt.
With this new light on the subject
Rather singular it seems,
But instead it's plainly plural,
In reality it means
When the blame for any action
To its fountain-head you trace,
Yeu will ever find woman
And man are in the case.-Flora Nc Don

BISMARCK, DaK., July g. Gov.
Church to-day denied pardon to John
Oswald, nephew of John Oswald. the
well-known liquor man of st. Paul. In
denying the pardon the governor gives
his reasons as follows:
The Territory against John William Os-
wald. The defendant was tried in April,
1856, for the murder of Patrick McWeeney,
at Devils Lake, and convicted OF man
slaughter and sentenced to twelve years i'm
prisonment. Application for the pardon OF
said Oswald is made, strongly Endorsed, al q
is urged on the following grounds: HIS
good conduct since imprisonment; his i'm
paired health; that at the time of the homl-
eide the prisoner was in an intoxicated stale,
iy. have carefully examined the
evidence taken upon the trial in this case.
The evidence does not show that the prisoner
was in state ofintoXication bordering upon
responsibility. His own testimony shows
he had well defined recollection of what
occurred. The i'll health of the prisoner is
not of itself sufficient to warrant my inter,
ference. Where facts exist that would tend
10 Justify executive clemency, i'll health
which promises TO break down and perma-
nently destroy his health or terminate his
life, would lie matter .weighty consider
alton i'll arriving at a conclusion la favor OF
pardon. The good conduct of the prisoner
during his brief imprisonment, considering
the character of the crime cannot have that
weight that continued good conduct during
q long term of imprisonment, already suf-
fered. would entitle him 10. The evidence
shows
NOTHING TO JUSTIFY PARDON.
In the exercise of executive ciemency the
solemn DEGREES of courts will not without
good cause, be set aside. The punishment
for crime must be certain. Such certainty is
beneficial in the preservation OF order and
obedience TO the laws.
lsignedl LOUIS X. CHURCH, Governor.
This case has attracted attention
throughout the country owing to the
prominence of the Oswald family. Os-
wald was defended by W. w. Erwin,
who has made a most tenacious and adj
mirable fight for his client.

WAsECA, Mimi, July 6.-The attend

park continues to increase and much in
terest is manifested in the assembly
work besides the regular class work.
This morning several special classes
were organized in Sunday school, nor
NAL work, music, voice culture, har-
mony and chorus. Calesthenics and
gymnastics, kindergarten and analytical
bible study. The programme for to-day
was carried out i'll full, and all of the
great crowds in attendance at
the exercises took deep inter
est therein. AT 10 a. m. there was
analytical bible reading in charge
of Rev. John Williamson, of Chicago,
continuing one hour, after which there
was platform meeting, under the aus
pieces of the state Sunday School associ-
alton, Rev. S. Sperm presiding. The
addresses were delivered by Rev. Levi
Gilbert, of Winona, Mimi, and others.
At 1890 p. m. Rev. A. II. Gillitt, of
Cincinnati, delivered his lecture, en-
titled "The Word of the Bible" before
the Sunday school normal class and

Fourth OF July Festivities Make a
German Couple Absent Mind
ed.
Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, Neb., July GA singular in
cident in connection with the celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July is reported
from Grand Island. A German farmer
named Teuhrman, accompanied by his
wife and their two-year-old boy, came
to town early and were among the most
enthusiastic participants in the dancing
and other festivities at Leiderkranz
hall. About 10 O'Clock at night they
started for home, leaving the infant
Teuhrman slumbering in couple of
chairs, where he had been placed while
his parents were dancing. They drove
to the farm, distance of about twelve
miles, put up the horses and went to
bed, without noticing the gap in the
family circle. Just as Mrs. II. was
doing Off into dreamland, however, the
absence of Teuhrman, Jr., suddenly re-
Cured to her, and with shrek she
awoke her lord. Mr.. t. rushed to the
barn, hitched up the team and drove flu
riously back to Grand Island, where the
missing heir was found sound asleep in
the corner where he had been left.
