A postal just received from AL
bion. Ind, reads like this: please
send me a list of the deserted farms
for salem your vicinity" This looks
very much as though some Caledo-
MIA county man at the West was de-
sirous of getting back on to his ma
tive heath once more. Glad to say
there are very few "deserted" farms
in this vicinity, but if our friend of
the postal card wants to purchase a
comfortable home hereabouts, he can
doit without much difficulty.

Well done, Brazil. The president
of the new South American republic

$3.50, 900 with which to represent

The St. Adams Messenger is posing
as a discoverer of irregularities in the
use of the English language, and COM
plains that the words "chief justice"
are wrongly used for 'chief judge"
If the Messenger will investigate it
will find that, outside of the techni-
cality of the statute, there is every
possible authority for the use Of the
term chief justice, and that its COM
plant is exceedingly far-fetched.
The CHILEAN mob evidently made a
great mistake in assaulting a COM
raise the other day, and that gov
m will have a chance to ex-
plain matters to the United States
authorities. The recent instruction
in the South American republic seems
to have developed a violent temper
on the part of the Gillian populace,
which needs curbing.

Scalding hot water should never be
poured into dishes which have held
milk until it has been removed by cold
water.
The best way is when hot grease has
been spilled on the floor is to dash cold
water over it, so as to harden 1t quick
ly and prevent it striking into the
boards.
If tablespoonful Of kerosene be put
into four quarts Of tepid water, and
this be used in washing windows and
mirrors, instead of pure water, there
will remain upon the clean surface a
polish no amount Of mere friction can
give.
Silk underwear should be washed
through several cool waters in which
soap and borax have been dissolved.
All silk wear should be squeezed by the
hand rather than rubbed, although.
especially soiled spots must be rubbed
with little soap.
Buy fine copper wire by the pound
for hanging pictures. 1t does not cost
half what twisted wire or cord does,
and looks for better. Paste light ma.
nilla paper over the back of every
picture-frame not alreany protected, as
it effectually prevents dust from reach
ing the pictures.
Steam heat is said to be the WORST
for piano. and in time shrinks both
case and action, so that the former
cracks and the latter rattles. When
one lives where that handy mode of
heating room obtains, dish Of water
should be kept constantly upon the
radiator; 1t increases humidity and in
a measure prevents shrinking.
Small tears In wooden goods should
be darned with rawlings Of the same,
having first put under piece OF the
cloth, and afterwards pressing care
fully. Breaks in black silk garments
may be mended with bits Of court plas!
ter, and II the lace curtains become
torn wet a piece of lace in starch and
iron it on the wrong side Of the curtain.
Care should be taken in the matter
OF sweeping to cover up house plants,
and to sponge the leaves frequently.
The dust that accumulates on them
shuts up their breathing pores, as II

them unhealthy. Another thing con-
ducive to healthy plant-growth is FREE

pose.
It is stated that lamp chimneys

German
Syrup"

The majority OF well-read phys
lcians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees.
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts Of the lungs
viii h have been
gnawed off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, expells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in short time consump-
tives become germ-proof and well. .

Crowdlng Horses.

Very frequently a lazy horse will
learn the trick Of crowding. Perfect
blowing when one OF the horses crowds
is out OF the question, and his wabbling
is doubly annoying to the plowman.
The best remedy that have found Is
to take q block Of some tough wood,
two inches thick and about eight inches
square; in the centre OF it bore an inch
auger hole. In the hole drive pin Of
some hard wood so that 1t protrudes
about three inches from the block, and
sharpen the protruding end. Suspend
this by strings from the back band OF
the horse that does not crowd so that
the block rests against his side; when
the lazy horse crowds over the pointed
pin will tickle his side In q way that
will very sooi break him Of his lazy

Sticking to it is one OF essentials tho
OF profitable stock breeding.
Feeding musty hay. straw or oats TO
horses is a prn,iso oanse Of heaves.
Keeping clean with good bedding
and careful grooming, pays the horses.
When coarse or rough fodder is used
or fed always feed something better
with 1t.
The farmer that reads and thinks can
learn much from the experience OF
others.
Better pay little more and get an
implement well adapted TO the kind OF
work required.
Scrub stock and grain raising don't
pay, and the best profit Is only realized
with good stock.
The best pork, as well as the cheap
est, Is that made from hogs that are less
than year old.
Exposure is most provocative OF gar.
get or caked udder in mich cows, and
should always be avoided,
Give sheep a mixed feed. Oats Is
one of the best feeds, but variety Is
necessary to secure the best results.
Exercise is an important item in
maintaining health with all breeding
animals, but care should be taken not
to overdo.
1t is far better to allow barn-yard
manure to rot on the land than in
heap inthe barn lot, especially If it is
unprotected.
Every day that stock is fed adds to-
the expense, and good care should be!
taken to see that in doing this a profit,
can also be realized.
One advantage in having the soil rich
Is that the plants much better able
to Withstand drouth, than II growing
in a thin, rundown soil.
Bone meal and potash in some form
make good fertilizer for all kinds of
fruits, and in many cases can be APP
piled to potatoes with benefit. :
There is not large amount OF diff
ference in the cost of keeping and
feeding a COW, but there is very large
amount of difference in the profit that
is derived from the best and the
poorest.
1t should be remembered that with
many garden crops it is difficult, If not
impossible, to make the soil too rich,'
and where there is not sufficient sup
ply Of well rotted barn yard manure,
commercial fertilizers can be used to
good advantage. 4
The results stock breeders and
feeders are able to secure, do not
always depend so much upon the breed
as the feed and management. One
may have the best breeds in the world
and yet fail to realize fair profit, for,
the want OF proper management. I.
1t has been shown for every reduc-
ton Of one degree in temperature, 2
per cent. more food is required for the
support of an animal to make up for
the loss Of heat through the increased
cold. 1t is just the same as with
stove; when the cold increases more
fuel must be put In.
By increasing the fertility Of the soil
comes the ability to feed and fatten
more stock, and with more stock, If
good management is given. an in
creased supply Of manure can be Sc
cured. The more feed the more stock,
and the more stock the more manure,
and usually the better the profits.

Churning.

Churning should be done with some
dies. as this gives butter better grain
than those churns with dash. The
churning should stop when the butter
is in the granular stage, or before it
gathers as we call 1t. The reason for
this is that in this stage every particle
OF the butter-milk can be easily remov-
ed and the grain of the butter better
preserved. The butter-milk Is now
drawn of and the butter covered with
brine and allowed to stand a half hour
or SO to dirsslve any cheesy matter in
1t and to take out the butter-milk.
One or two washings of water may be
necessary to free it entirely from the
butter-milk. and it is then ready for
the salt, which may be thrown into the
churnI and by slowly revolving it the
salt will be thoroughly mixed and the
butter gathered into lump which is
ready for market by being simply
shaped as you wish it. The grain Of
butter is often spoiled by working with
a paddle with scraping motion, but
when the butter-milk Is removed by
washing with brine while in the gran
ular stage when the brine can touch
every particle the size Of grain Of
wheat. there Is no need OF working
with paddle. Butter made accord
ing to these directions and put up in
neat packages to suit customers, can
not fail to please, for it Is and must be
first-class, and the reason WHY'S, that
1t has been managed so Us to preserve
its good qualities.
