The more an animal is exposed the
less it will produce. either of pork.
wool, mutton, beef Or milk
When using baking powder, stir
in shortening after all ingredients are
added, including the -four. It makes
much nicer and more faxy biscuit.
Strawberry vines that are well
mulched will not be affected by sud-
den changes of weather The mulch
prevents the plants from beginning to
grow too early in the season. Straw
berry plants that bloom out very early
are ones that have their blossoms
killed by late frosts.
Cranberry Roll: Take a quart of
cranberries. stew them and sweeten to
taste; make pastry as you would for
biscuit; roll a little thinner than for
biscuit; fill with the cranberries. roll
up the sides and ends and steam an
hour and half, or bake; to be eaten
with sauce or cream and sugar.
The only reason why plants so
often make better growth in the
kitchen than in the front room is that
the air is SO much more moist II a
kettle or pan of water is kept upon the
stoves in the rooms where the plants
are, it will aid materially in keeping
up good growth.
Apple Meringue: Stew apples,
sweeten and flavor to taste, and put
the fruit in the dish it is to be served
in. Let it cool. Beat the whites of
three or four eggs with a little pow
dered sugar, to froth which can be
cut with a silver knife. Spread this
smoothly over the fruit. and set the
dish in the oven for about fifteen min
utes. The crust should be a crisp,
light brown. 1t is better served at
once. for the meringue grows tough in
cooling.
The uncovered manure pile is a
great breeder of flies and a nuisance
near house. But it may also be OBJ
jectionable from its economic aspect.
! Flies are great scavengers. but in
destroying the offenslveness of ma
nures they destroy much of their fer
tilizing value. 1t is better far to
avoid both evils by covering manure
piles as quickly as made with fresh
earth, which is an effective absorbent
and deodor.zer.
Pallets should be carefully fed
and prepared for the winter season. if
egg products are desired. Young birds
will not do as well the first winter if
their early feeding is neglected. They
must be brought into condition before
the really cold weather sets in. but
they should not be oyer-fed. Oats
corn and barley, in proportion of Is,
20 and 10 pounds respectively, with 10
pounds of wheat bran. if the grain is
all ground, is an excellent feed. But
there should be goodly percentage
of green food given them.

If you want a good appetite. don't

right in your business. don't worry.
Women find a sea of trouble in their
housekeeping. Some one says they
often put as much worry and anxiety
into a loaf of bread, a pie or cake, into
the weekly washing and ironing. as
should suffice for much weightier mat
tiers. This accounts largely for the
angularity of American women. Merry
BUSINESS, which may be called the
reservoir of worrying-its fountain
and SOURCES the bane of the Amer
lean race. 1t is not confined to the
women, by any means. but extends TO
the men as well. Even business men
are sometimes afflicted. so we have
heard, and so our advice not
to yield to this habit will be most
kindly received by all classes OF read
ers- What good does fretting do9 1t only

things go wrong to-day. the to-mor-
rows are coming, in which to try again,
and the thing is not worth clouding
your own spirit and those around you,
injuring yourself and them physically
for the mind affects the body-and
for such a trife. Strive to cultivate
a spirit of patience, both for
your own good and the good of
those about you You will never
regret the step. for it will not only add
to your own happiness, but the exam
pie of your conduct will affect those
with whom you associate, and in whom
you are interested. Suppose somebody
makes a mistake, suppose you are
crossed. or a trifing accident occurs;
to fly into fretful mood will not
mend, but help to hinder the attain
ment of what You wish. Then. when
a thing Is beyond repair, waste no use
less regrets over it. and do no idle
fretting. Strive Tor that serenity OF
spirit that will enable you to make the
best of all things. That means con-
tentment in its best sense and content

A pleasant disposition and good work
will make the whole surroundings

QUALITY OF MILK.
Richness of the Lactea1 Fluid at Differ
emit Periods of Milking.

eHL FERROUS Oh
Several large coffee-cups having been
successfully filled from one cow, till
she was quite dry, the following re-
suits appeared. great care having been
taken to weigh the cups to ascertain
that they held exactly the same guam
tity:
In every case the quantity of cream
was found to increase in proportion as
the process of milking advanced. In
different COWS the proportion varied.
but in the greater number the excess
of cream in the last cup, as compared
with the first, was as sixteen to one;
in some it was not so considerable;
therefore. as an average. it may be
called as ten or twelve to one
The difference in the quality of the
two sorts of cream was no less strik-
ing; the cream given by the first
drawn milk was thin, white and with
out consistence, while that furnished
by the last was thick, buttery and of a
rich color.
The milk remaining in the different
cups presented similar differences;
I0aI WHICH WAS Ifd" Ill uiSt WIS very
poor. blue and had the appearance of
milk and water; that in the last cup
was of a yekowish hue. rich and. TO
the eve and taste. resent ied cream
rather than milk.
It appears, therefore. from these
experiments, that If. after drawing
seven or eight pints from cow. half
a pint remains in the udder, not only
almost as much cream will be lost as
the seven or eight pints Will furnish,
but that of the best quality. and which
gives the richest taste and color to
butter. This fact has been corrobo-
rated by chemical experiments. and
holds good with respect to goats and
asses. N. Y. Ledger.

AN IDAHO WONDER,

Discovery of Floating Island on the
Dome of the Continent.
John Tomlinson. of Bannack, Idaho,
told a reporter that there is real
floating island on Henry's Lake. Idaho.
The lake is situated on the dome of the
continent, at depression in the Rocky
Mountains known as Targee's Pass. in
honor of the trapper who discovered
it. 1t is oval in shape and has an area
of forty square miles. .'On first APP
pearances. said Mr.. Tomlinson, 1.-The
lake, the waters of which are as clear
as emeralds. seems to have no outlet.
1t is surrounded by solid ground on
which are groves OF pine and luxuriant
mountain grass. On the western edge
lies what appears to be a hollow pool
connecting it. and from this, obscured
in a growth of shrubs, rises a small
creek, the source of the moth fork of
the Snake river. Now. on this lake,
and sometimes seen on the north
side and sometimes on the other,
is this curious floating island.
1t is about three hundred feet
in diameter, and has for its basis a mat
=
trees, and heavy thicket under
growth. Decayed vegetation adds to
the thickness of the mat and forms
mold several feet in thickness. On
the edge of the floating forest, in sum-
mer time, may be seen luxuriant
growth of blue-joint grass. the roots
of which form so compact mass as to
support the weight of a horse Any
number of men have no difficulty in
walking about on it Further back
among the trees you might build big
house and make a garden and do what
ever YOU please. You would be just
as solid and safe as though there were
not fifty or one hundred or two hun
dred feet of water under YOU There
is willow thicket near the center of
the island. and scattered among these
willows and contiguous to them are
number of aspens and dwarf pines.
These catch the breezes which float
over the island. and act like sails on
boat and move the three hundred
foot body hither and thither over
the forty square miles Of water. This
shows why you may one day See the
island on one side and the next day on
the other 1t is the queerest thing 1
ever saw. You pitch your tent some |
evening on one side near the island |
and are pleased with the beautiful |
prospect There is the islaRd only a
few rods from you, covered with trees
and grass The next morning you
wake up and the island is gone lou
look far away to the other side and
there it is, its trees bending gracefully
in the wind. Along in the afternoon
it returns, or it may take an easy jannt
off at an oblique angle from you. Hen
ry Lake is exceedingly picturesque
Around it rise snow-capped peaks, !
