On the 4th Of May, 1869, the fiftieth ami

Mr.. Shaw delivered an address relating the

Mr.. Shaw lived at Tower Grove for years.

heat is gone.
There has been great deal of I'M
necessary dissatisfaction and jealousy
among creamy patrons, in regard to
each ones just share. Several devices
have been invented for testing each ones
cream. So far all such tests have failed.
For while the 'oil test churn' was
quite popular. especially with parties
who buy the cream right out, and pay
for it from samples of each mans cream.
The advantage is all in his favor, while
the farmer is swindled. There have been
repeated tests made with this churn TAX
ing samples from the same cream pail.
there has been as much as 80 per cent
difference in the tests. For cooperative
creameries they are utterly unreliable.
1t takes creamery two or three years
to get established and in good running
condition. In the mean time every pat
ron should do his part in helping, in
stead of fault finding and trying to dis
courage others from coming ill., B. c.

Insensibility to Odors-

A Californian, writing in Garden and
Forest with regard to the sense of taste, cites
the case Of prominent Chicago physician,
who declared that he could detect no differ
ence between the taste Of castor oil and Of
olive oil To test the question his wife dressed
q salad with OIL ricin., which he partook Of
with great gusto, but not without enjoying
afterward all the remedial benefits of the
drug. The editor of The Journal, comment
ing on the foregoing, says: Perhaps this Is
only another example of inability to detect
certain odors The peculiar flavor" of cas-
tor oil is conveyed through the olfactory
nerves Children are directed not to breathe
through the nose while taking this medicine,
and in this way they escape its disagreeable
taste" The subject has interested many
readers One writes: 1T seems like an affec-
tation to say that mignonette has any odor,
II has no more to me than clean china
platen Another writes that the members of
bis family frequently praise the delightful
fragrance of the flowers of large vine of
Clematis crispa, now In full bloom, while he
has never yet been able TO detect the slightest
odor in these flowers.

WHAT DO YOUR CHILDREN READq

Those who are using their powers in
providing entertainment for the young
imagination have tremendous respon-
siblity, which many of them do not
seem in any degree to recognize. Not
only should that which they provide for
the young be free from wrong, or the
suggestion of it, or from anything that
might peradventure develop into wrong,
but it should be aggressively in the
other direction; not only innocent, but
useful, sound and strong, true and heal
thy. BY demanding the true, we do not
mean to exclude fancy and imagination,
but only that the tone should ring true.
and that false senti ment should be from
ded at as much as false fact, or state
ment of fact not true to nature. While
the marketman and the provision dealer
are feeding the body, the writer is doing
much toward feeding the soul and a
good deal of the worthiessness of an
impoverished intellectual and spiritual
nature may be laid at the door of whom
soever it is who furnishes mental food
of poor quality. Parents too often are
not without blame in this matter. There
are individuals whom they would not
allow inside their doors, there is con-
versation they would not suffer to be
whispered about their hearth: but they
leave upon their tables novels full of
questionable characters, sayings, doings,
situations and scenes, for their children
to dip into on occasion; they take in
newspapers which reek in report and adj
vertisement with ruinous knowledge and
scandal, while people of such sort that
we should turn our eyes away from them
in the street-who live in the under world
of darkness and crime, from which,
should they be suffered to emerge, it
should not be into the society of child
ren-have in the same way the freedom
of their house and hearth. If writers
realized their power more, if they be-
leved in the old maxim concerning the
superior might of the pen, if they rea-
lized that the drop of INK at the point of
the pen is like the ink of the cuttle-fsh,
and can give to a whole clear sea its own
color, they might pause before they
wrote the unwholesome word or let the
thought not distinctly beneficial see the
light upon the paper Bazaar

ARE YOUR HENS HEALTHY?

Owing to extreme heat, and moisture,
and other causes, there has been much
dizziness and disease among poultry the
past summer, and especially among
chickens and young pullets expected to
lay this fall and winter. For this reason,
it would be great mistake TO kill off all
the old hens when the moulting season
is at hand and the hens have stopped Law
ing, got fat, and seem to be eating their
heads off: because it is fact that year
old hen, if properly cared for and helped
at the moulting season to get her new
coat quickly, so she can be got to laying
early,will lay more and better eggs than
young pullets, particularly if the pullets
areIweakened by diarrhpa. cholera. gapes,
etc. Many people have learned by ex-
perience that Sheridan's Condition Pow
der given once, daily, in the food, will
supply the needed material to strengthen
and invigorate sick chickens or moulting
hens and get them to laying earlier than
anything else on earth. Mrs Edwin

HINTS FOR CREAMERY PATRONS

1t will not pay to get jealous of each
other; cooperation is the foundation of
success in the creamery.
If your neighbor does not keep profita-
BILE stock, or does not give them proper
care, don't grumble to every one you
see. because you imagine you are not
getting your just dues by putting your
cream with his. You might better 90
to him and try to convince him that by
careful feeding and iudicious manage
ment, his returns will be much larger.
On the other hand, if other patrons are
getting more money out of their cows
than you, don't get discouraged, but lool;
into their management, and see if it is
not better than yours if so, get out of
the old rut, and profit by successful
mems experience.
We are living in a world of progress
A man who is not willing to keep VI
with the times (even in making cream
will surely ''get left"
Farmers who patronize creamery
make more money, their farms are il
better condition, and they are more indie
pendent in every way. The formerly
over-burdened farmers wife does not
now have the care and labor of the mill
and churning of the cream. The cream
cry patron is not obliged to lose valuable
time in taking few pounds of butter tC
market, taking store pay IN return, OIL
trust it out and then lose it altogether.
1t pays far better to feed cows grail
the year round. Grass increases the flow
of milk, and grain increases the amour
OF cream. While it is possible, through
careless or inexperienced butter-makers
to iniure or spoil a churning of butter,
greater part depends on the help which
the butter-maker should have from tn,
patrons, in handling and setting thei
milk properly. All milk should be strain
ed at once after being drawn from tn
COW through three strainers and immedi
ately submerged in water, the tempera
ture of which should not be over A. de
grees in summer, nor below 40 degrees il
winter. 1t is greatly to the patrons in
terest to observe these rules carefully
as there is large per cent of cream los
in not keeping water at the proper TEN
perature, and letting milk stand too lon,
before setting. 1t has been proved tina
milk loses over 25 per cent of cream

DR.. Hammond was born at Annapolis,
Md, Aug. %, 1898; is feet in height, and
still carries himself erect He was gradu-
ated from the medical department of the
University of New York, and entered the
United States army In ls49 as assistant sur
geon, with the rank of first lieutenant. In
October, 1900 he resigned, to become profess
sor Of anatomy and physiology in the Uni
versity of Maryland, but when the civil war
broke out he again entered the army and
rose, step by step, to be surgeon general in
April, 1862. He instituted radical changes,
but suffered from charges of irregularity in
awarding certain liquor contracts Then
came trouble, and his dismissal as surgeon
general, after court martial by Secretary
Stanton. This was in 1854 and the young
surgeon had but about $500 In the world.
He determined to leave Washington and
settle In New York, and when be did so made
vow that he would return to the capital
in twenty years reinstated and cleared
of all suspicion
His reinstatement took place In 1873, but
he was not yet ready to return to Washing
ton, and in fact did not go back till 1885,
when he established himself at Washington
at the head of large private institution for
the treatment of the disorders he had made
speciality. He had by that time accumulated
very comfortable competence, and had
won a name second to none in the ranks of
his profession During the early days of his
residence in New York he was often In straits
financially, but he struggled manfully with
adversely, making nervous diseases his
speciality and eking out his slender income
with his ready pen Quite early in his New
York career he was made lecturer on nervous
diseases at the New York College of Physi-

introduced in congress authorizing the presi-

WHERE WEEDS COME FROM.

What is weed? "Any useless plant"
one says. Another has said "Any
plant whose use is not yet discovered y
but a better definition is "Any plant
out of place is weed" Thus the beau
tiful grass of the lawn, transferred to
the strawberry bed, becomes an annoy
ing weed, and so may be considered
and treated the numerous young plants
of the strawberry, raspberry and black
berry which we see between the rows.
The ordinary weeds are, however,
plants for which we have no use. Where
do they come from? All plants come
from seeds or buds of some form. When,
then, weeds spring up in the garden,
they come from seeds which in some
manner have got there. What are these
means?. \ few of the more common
only can be named:
!. The seeds of weeds are often pres
ent among the seeds which are sown.
Farmers must be on their guard constant
ly when they purchase grass seed. or
ious weeds.
2. Many weeds are introduced into
the garden with the manure used. Sta
bic manure contains the seeds of all the
weeds which existed in the hay and
straw of which the manure was formed.
The writer has seen different crops of
weeds growing on his grounds, brought
from different stables. Commercial fer
tilzers are free from weeds.
). The wind blows many seeds into
the garden. Some seeds, as those of the
dandelion and thistle, are formed for this
mode of dispersion.
4. The melting snow and running sur
face waters may introduce other weeds
from our neighbors' grounds. Streams
running through the garden may carry
many seeds.
.. Other seeds are in the droppings
of birds, and some are carried in the mud
on their feet.
6. Railway trains carry weeds and
distribute then about the country with
great rapidity.
Z. Some seeds cling to our domestic
animals, and are thus introduced into
our grounds.
$. Other seeds cling to the clothing
of man and are carried from place
to place. Whenever an army passes
through the country, weeds unknown to
the region before spring up. Thus, in
Georgia, after Sherman's invasion, and
in France, after the invasion of the Ger
mans, pestilential weeds are said to have
appeared in abundance. The broadleav-
ed plantain is called by our Indians the
"Whteman's footmarks,'' because it
springs up on his camping grounds.
large proportion of our worst weeds
have come to us from the Old World.
as one will learn from an examination of
Gray's Botany" Some troublesome
weeds have been introduced as plants
for the flower garden. The bounding
Bet, Sapondria oficinalis, and the toad
flax, Linaria oulgaris, belong to this
class.
Some weeds promise to become useful
in the future, as the velvet leaf, abmiIlon
ocicenne, yields a good fiber, and the
various milkweeds, Asclepidacee, furnish
in their milky Juice a considerable
amount of india rubber Vick's Maya
zine.
