LOVE-.

Love goeth where tits bid,
Nor fingers by the way;
Oft in rude garb 'tis hid,
Sent once tor aye.
Joy fits from heart TO heart,
Caressing Impulse there;
But OF true love part
Though bright and fair.
Lonely and wandering,
Or by its consort blessed,
Love smites with bitter sting,
Or lulls to rest.
Love cometh once for aye
Pure and passlonless:
Lodged In the heart To stay,
10 curse or bless.
Sweet love, honor thee,
Brightest OF all lifes joys;
oh prove myself to me
Without alloys.

THROUGH CLOUD AND STORM

(Rondeau.)
Through cloud and storm. 1t seems in vain
To hope for sweet sunshine again;
Each field flower to the earth's breast cljngs.
And the torn ivy sways and swings,
The sport OF every winds disdain.
With wistfulness as keen as pain
hear a birds song through tho rain
And strive to hold the hops 1t brings,
Through cloud and storm.
Though showers sweep down the sodden lane.
Still clearly sounds the trusting strain.
Listen! Gods voice as clearly rings
Through our blind griefs and murmurings
Trill on, brave bird! make his ways plain,
Through cloud and storm.

The Hottest Place on Earth,

George Fuller of San Francisco, who
is at the Auditorium, recently visited
the hottest place on earth. "I've
taken look at Death valley" he said,
located in southeastern California.
Without doubt this is the warmest
spot in this world. The only compet-
itor is on the shores of the Persian
gulf, and it is only 1913 degrees Fahren-
helt there. The highest temperature
recorded in the Sahara is 1877, but a
thermometer placed in the shade in
Death valley registers 100 degrees.
Once the valley was a lake OF water
containing IN solution common soda,
salt and borax. Above the marsh
there is a crust Of common salt ten
inches thick. The borax deposited
there is the richest in the world, and
no doubt it will be purchased and
shipped to market before long. The
conditions of the place prevent rain
fall, and those who 90 into the valley
have to bring water supplies. Within
the last few months several English
men have visited the valley, and it is
reported that it will be bought by a
foreign syndicate and the borax
brought into commerce. There's
money in it,"

The Butter Extractor,

The American Dairyman in it's issue
of March ~ says: In introducing the
butter extractor in this country one
of the great difficulties to be contend
ed with has been the question Of pat
ents. AS we commended then and still
hold, the patents of the Butter Ex-
tractor Company are an infringement
and it seems that our theory at that
time is being borne out, as we are in
receipt Of a small pamphlet addressed
to creamerymen in which the question
of this patent is fully discussed, and
the public at large ,lre cautioned
against the purchase of the butter ex-
tractor-separator, as each and every
person using one will be prosecuted to
the fullest limit OF the law. We tried
to effect q compromise over q year
ago-in fact, before it was organized
between the owners Of the butter ex-
tractor and the holders of the other
potents whereby these machines could
be manufactured and sold in the
United States and Canada without
any risk OF the purchaser being prose

How to Drink Milk

The Earth's Regeneration.

The earth was indeed beautiful in
her virgin youth, comely as a bride
adorned for her husband. But she
has had many days OF sorrow, having
been divorced from her royal partner,
the glorious cloud-symbol OF the
divine presence. These long ages
"lchabod" has been written on her
walls, for alas, ''the glory had depart

enforcement shall end and, the friendly
cloud will again kiss her purified lips,

VagarieS Of the Cuisine.

The climate of Hindoosta tan goes q,
long way toward explaining the
religious scruples which would make
millions o.: Brahmins starve rather
than eat meat stews, but less intel
ligible is the prejudice OF Japanese
peasants, who cannot be persuaded
to drink cows milk. The Abyssinian
highlanders would shrink from neither
alternative, but would promptly cut
the acquaintance OF neighbor who
should defle himself by broiling a,
rabbit. Moses, too, interdicts rabbits
flesh, which constitutes the only
luxury of the snow-bound Jakootsr
who would scorn to waste a copper
coin on Chinese tea, but are apt to
fiddle with a. decoction Of fly toad
stool. The Tartar emirs scandalize
American missionaries by their fond
ness for milk brandy (koumiss), but
are, in their turn, amazed at the
caprice that makes their pious guests
prefer pork to horsefesh. After all,
there is no disputing about tastes.

Setting Plants Too Deep,

1t is well known that setting young
trees from the nursery much deeper
than they stood before, especially if
down in the hard subsoil, is unfavora-
BILE to their most successful growth.
The same principle appears to apply
to young vegetables. The experiment
was tried at the Ithaca station Two
hundred plants OF Wakefield cabbage
were set deep and shallow in alternate
rows the deep ones sunk up to the
first leaves, the shallow ones at the
same depth that they stood in the
seed bed. The deepset plants gave
only II solid heads in 100; the shall
low set produced IS solid heads, and
these weighed 12 per cent more than
the deep ones. The ground planted
was a heavy soil; there would proba-
bly, be less difference in a light SOIL

American Cheese.

Good cheese is made in this country
but it is mighty scarce. In the town
where the writer lives there is only one
grocery store where a. good, rich,
whole milk cheese can be bought, and
there are ascore or more ofgroceries in
the place. They all sell cheese, of
course, but it is the tough, tasteless,
quickly drying sort that owns itself a
"skin," if not a "skim,' and isn't
worth one-quarter OF the price charg-
ed as an article of food. 49,
Is not this a shame? A good, whole
milk cheese is one Of the most whole
some and nutritious of foods. It
ought to be constantly used as an
article Of diet in every American house
hold. But as a matter of fact you sell
dom find it on the American table. II
there is cheese in most cases it is OF
foreign make. at least in the houses
whose inmates know what good cheese
is.
{ This ought not so to be. We should
have the best cheese in the world, and
plenty of it. Why will our cheese
makers persist in killing the goose
that lays the golden egg? They have
immensely diminished the market at
home, and are now actively engaged
in killing the foreign trade. This is
short-sighted business. More than
that, it is a disgrace to the American
name to send abroad such miserable
stuff as the product of American IN
dustry.

Working and Packing,

A great deal of butter that is really

market purposes by bad working and
packing, or by bad packing alone. A
good looking package will often sell it.
self if the purchaser isnot a good Judge
OF butter. The appearance to the eye
has much to do with the price, for an
unattractive package OF butter preju-
dices the taste. Too much salt incor-
porated when working, so that there
are streaks and dashes OF white
throughout the mass, hurts the taste
and the sale of butter; it hides the pure
flavor of the honest product of the
churn. Too much work destroys the
grain. After going to the labor and
expense OF milking, setting the milk,
skimming and churning, it is folly to
waste two to five cents per pound in
the value of the butter by a mistake
in manipulating and packing.

Farm Hints.

Use care in letting the horses have
fresh pasture. A sudden change to
green food often gives collie.
Buttermilk is sometimes too valu-
able for the pigs. Use it instead of
water when making bread, and use it
as drink on the table.
No remedies should be attempted for
black knot on plum trees until the
affected branches are removed. Black
knot also affects some varieties of
cherries.
Do not keep the cream too long be-
fore you churn. By waiting until
enough cream is secured to make a,
churning, bitter butter may be the re-
suit.
One OF the most important matters
for the farmer to look after is the in
surance on his buildings. 1t is often
deferred until the very day it is due,
and many instances are known Of
losses few hours after the policy had
expired.
B No young animal will grow faster
