Experiments in the Treatment OF Drunk
enness without Medicine.
Hypnotism or hypnotic suggestion is
being employed by physicians of stand
ing in England and on the continent
as cure for drunkenness and the
opium habit In some of the hospitals
of Paris it has come to be quite usual
to throw patients suffering from
alcoholism and especially from de-
lirium tremens into a hypnotic sleep
as the quickest and safest way of
checking their rawlings. and it has been
found that in most such cases it has
been possible to prevent the return of
the violent symptoms by prohibition
by the will of the hypnotizer. So sue
eessful have been these experiments
and SO carefully and systematically
have the more common phenomena of
hypnotism been studied. that a regular
course of procedure has been laid out.

be the case in the administration of anv

During a discussion of education for
women, Marion Harland is reported to
have delivered the following trite remarks:
NO American girl can afford to be igno-
rant of the humblest details of what is pop
ularly known as homework, otherwise she
is at the mercy of her servants. 1t may
sound like bald realism to say that
conjugal devotion depends largely upon
how the family steak and potatoes
are cooked and served. But when we
consider the intimate relations of body
and mind, the theometric influence of the
digestive organs upon the spirits, the real
ism rises into the dignity of moral axiom.
Shall we not concede an honorable place to
that training that instills punctuality,
thrift and helpfulness that makes girl
robust in body and in mind; that fits her
TO fill with honor the place of housewife
and homemaker. and to set upon her sons
and daughters the imprint of a noble and
benefcent personalitys"

Directions For Churning.

Milk should not be allowed to stand
in pals in the stables, as it will readi-
ly absorb stable odors. 1t should be
strained through both a wire and cloth
strainer. Milk pans and pals should
be thoroughly washed and scalded be-
fore using.
The length of time for cream to rise
depends somewhat upon the tempera-
ture and upon the cow or cows pro-
ducing the milk Generally the quick
er the cream is to rise, the better
adapted to buttermaking is the COW.
1t is not profitable to keep a cow
whose cream requires long time to
churn with other cows whose cream
is churned quickly, because the cream
will probably be lost in the butter
milk.
Dairy cows should be fed upon
good hay, Indian meal, ensilage and
meal mixed, fine upland grass and clio
yer.
Cream obtained from each days
Swimming until necessary amount is
collected, must be kept so cool, forty
five degrees above zero, that it will
not ripen. When all the cream is col
lected, let the temperature rise to six
ty-five degrees, stirring occasionally
from twelve to thirty.siX hours, or I'M
til it has had time to pen or become
slightly acid, before churning; it will
then produce butter having superior
keeping qualities, and churn quicker
than if not soured.
Do not make the too common mis-
take Of thinking that if part OF the
cream has ripened, a quantity that
has not ripened can be stirred into it
and the whole amount be ready for
churning The cream not sOured will
produce very little butter.
If you have ice you can very easily
keep the cream cool. If not, lower
the pail of cream into the well or set
it in cold water.
The proper temperature for churn-
ing is siXty-two degrees for warm
weather, and sixty-four for cold wealth
er. Glass thermometers for dairy use
can be found at hardware stores where
dairy implements are kept.
The churn, working board and pad
die must be scalded with boiling wa
ter to prevent the butter sticking.
Cool with cold water until the right
temperature for the butter, if in haste
to use.
When the butter is ready to be TAX
EN- from the churn, draw off the but
termilk and rinse the butter with cold
water. If the churn is revolving
one, simply give two or three turns
and draw off the water. Another
rinsing may be given if one chooses,
care being taken not to exceed the
number Of revolutions. Some may
prefer not to rinse the butter.
Remove the butter from the churn
and after working out the buttermilk
weigh it, allowing an ounce OF salt to
each pound of butter. Work the salt
in thoroughly and set away in cool
place until the next day, when it must
be again worked over and put away
in Jars or balls as desired.

Experience alks.

Instead of putting food into the
oven to keep hot for late corners, try
covering it closely with a tin, and set
ting it over a basin of hot water.
This plan will keep the food hot, and
at the same time prevent it from dry
ing.
Oil cloths should be cleaned with
milk and water; brush and soap
will ruin them.
If your coal fire is low, Il tablespoon
of salt thrown on it will help it very
much.
Many are the bits Of soap which
are wasted in the household. a good
plan is to save every scrap in jar or
keg, and when wanted cover them
with water, and set OH the stove to
simmer When melted. remove them
and let them get cold Crumbs made
in cutting uL soap, bits Of toilet soap
too small to use, all such odds and
ends can be saved and used in this
manner.
Housekeepers know how quickly
lemons lose their freshness, and rot.
A simple and inexpensive remedy is
to place them in a jar filed with
water, the water to be renewed every
day or two. BY this means this fruit
can be kept fresh and sound for sew
eral weeks.
To remove fresh fruit stains from
table linen, cover quickly with pow
dered starch, or pour boiling water
from the tea-kettle upon them.
Finely sifted wood ashes will re-
move medicine stains from silver
spoons. Egg stains on silver can be
taken off with fine salt and damp
cloth.
On fabrics that will not be injured
by it soft soap will take out paint
stains much better than benzine,
chloroform and similar cleaners.
A weak solution of oxalic acid will
remove bad mildew stains and iron
rust from white goods; ordinarily,
mldew will come out il wet with sour
milk and laid in the sun. Use oxalic
acid with care, as it is poisonous. Di-
luted hartshorn takes mildew from
woollen goods.
Grass stains are obstinate, but soft
soap and baking soda will generally
overcome them Wet the stain, rub
it freely with the soap and soda, and
let il lie short time before washing.

Honest Agricultural Fairs.

The honest, legitimate agricultural
fairs are doing a noble work for I'M
proved stock and improved agricul-
ture. How is it with those fairs that
are run in the fast horse, gambling,
sideshow interest? What benefit are
such fairs to any community? There
are ample trotting and pacing asso-
Citations that hold trotting and racing
meetings under regular rules. But
the agricultural fair is no place for
horse racing, with all its associate
gambling, any more than for a circus,
side shows and noisy claptraps, and
al, fair managers should have the
honor, the dignity and the moral
courage to keep them out. even If
they offer to give thousand or ten
thousand dollars; then exhibitors and
visitors will have confidence in your
integrity and ability to have good,
useful and instructive fair and pay
all your premiums and be an honor
to your state and county Western Ag-
