and the premises generally. 1t is also
true that there is frequently no place in
which TO store farm tools. The plow is
run in under the wagon, and the moving
machine occupies an end of the barn
floor during that portion of the year
when not in use, while other tools find
resting places, some within, and some
out Of doors. II hardly needs argument
to show that such q course is both waste
full and inconvenient. Such a condition
of things may be remedied by construct
ing building like thai shown In the IL
lustration-a building that can be
readily and cheaply put together by any
one at all handy with tools. 1t may be
placed on one side Of the barnyard, thus
affording a desirable windbreak As

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Curing Nervous Headache.

The ordinary nervous headache will
be greatly relieved, and In many cases
entirely cured, by removing the waist of
ones dress, knoting the hair high upon
the head out OF the way, and while lean
ing over basin, placing a sponge soaked
in water as hot as it can be borne in the
back OF the neck. Repeat this many
times. also applying the sponge behind
the ears, and the strained muscles and
nerves that have caused so much misery
will be felt TO relax and smooth them
selves out deliciously, and very frequently
the pain promptly vanishes i'm conse-
quence. Every woman knows the ach-
ing face and neck generally brought
home from a hard days shopping, or
from long round of calls and afternoon
teas. She regards with intense dissatis-
faction the heavy lines around her eyes
and mouth by the long strain on the
facial muscles, and when she must carry
that worn countenance to some dinner
party or evenings amusement, it robs
her of all the pleasure to be had in IL.
Cosmetics are not the cure, nor bromides
or the many nerve sedatives to be had at
the drug shop. Use the sponge and hot
water again, bathing the face In water
as hot as 1t can possibly be borne; apply
the sponge over and over again to the
temples, throat, and behind the ears,
where most of the nerves and muscles of
the head center, and then bathe the face
in water running cold from the faucet.
Color and smoothness of outline come
back TO the face, an astonishing fresh
ness and comfort is the result, and II q
nap OF ten minutes can follow, every
trace of fatigue Will vanish. The same
remedy is invaluable for sunburn. and
the worst case OF this latter afilIction OF
sensitive skins will succumb to the hot
water treatment. The cold douche
should not follow i'm this case. instead, q
light application OF vaseline or cold
cream, which prevents peeling of the
skin as the hot water prevented inflam-
nation. Nothing so good for tired eyes
has yet been discovered as bathing them
in hot water, and neuralgia in uine cases
out OF ten will yield to applications of
cloths wrnng out In hot water I'm which

THE DAIRY.
Good Butter MIX.

With the introduction of patent
machines, and the study of chemistry as
applied to articles of food, butter making
has certainly improved. A few farmers
still adhere to the old notion that their
| old method Is as good, IL not superior, to
| the new-fangled notions. AS an illustra-
tiOn OF this met u farmer a short time
ago who was getting only sixteen cents q
pound for his butter, while few of his
more progressive neighbors were receiv-
ing twenty-five and thirty. He thought
it was all due to the trickery OF the COM
mission men, but the fact was, he ignored
all the modern Improvements in butter
making, packing and shipping. His but
ter when IL reached the market was in q
woeful condition, and the wonder is that
it brought the price 1t did.
Farmers have got to keep abreast OF
the times If they wish to succeed, and It is
no use of interposing their whims and
asserting that their ways cannot be i'm
proved upon. The modern methods of
dairying are interesting and instructive.
The best butter shipped to the large
cities is carefully made after some sys-
tematic process. When the cows are
milked, the milk is taken to the cistern,
where it is strained into cans, and
lowered into the cold water below. The
water In the cistern should never get
much warmer than So degrees in sum-
mer nor colder than 40 degrees in winter.
The milkings should be about twelve
hours apart, and the milk remains in the
cistern between the milkings. The cans
are then taken up and removed to the
house, where it is skinned at once. The
cream is kept in some tin vessel until it
acidulates, or commences to thicken.
When new cream is put I'm the whole
mass Is stirred. At temperature Of 62
degrees the cream is churned to granula-
tion. When the butter-milk is drawn off
fresh well water washes out all traces Of
buttermilk.
The butter is then ready to salt.
Nothing but good dairy salt should be
used, and II no more is put in than will
dissolve there will not be much danger of
sa lting the butter too much. The butter
is held over by some for twelve hours or
more for reworking before it is packed
away; but others pack it solidly in tubs
at once with a common butter ladle.
Butter that Is to be transported TO dis
tant cities should not be packed in prints,
for IL will get mussy and unattractive
looking before its destination is reached.
Good butter properly packed in tubs will
answer all purposes, and will sell at q
good price,. ID. MOrTo,o, in american

A Cunning Cub.

Alice stood at the window, watching
the falling snow. "What's that?" she
said. as she caught sight of something
up the street.
"It's dog-a woolly dog" she cried
out. 40, no, it's not dog; it's little

1t was little bear cub. It stopped
directly in front of the window, and,
sitting up, nodded to Alice in the most
friendly manner. "Oh, you amusing

bowling and offering his paw.
Alice was afraid that he would be

Procuring Better Cows.

We believe in the purchase of good
cows, and also Improvement by breeding
from better stock on the male side. But
one method of improving the dairy is
quite as important as either of these, is
open to everybody, and without it all
other Improvement would be of little
avail. That is to do everything to make
your cows produce all the milk and but
ter that they are capable of doing. A
COW while giving milk Is at the same time
bearing a calf. If her milk production
is stimulated all that is possible she
marks her calf with this characteristic.
If she be neglected in any way she none
the less surely marks her progeny for a
poor COW, however she NAV be treated

THE FARM.
Fighting the Ground Mole.

Fighting the Ground Mole.
Wherever the common ground moles
Jake possession of light soils, free from
stone, they become great nuisance and
do an immense amont of injury to lawns
as well as small plants in the vegetable
and flower garden. If we scatter barn
yard manure i'm Drills or trenches made
for the reception of peas, beans, and
other seeds, mole is pretty certain to
find it, and burrow under the entire row,
lifting up or breaking off the roots Of the
young plants, causing their destruction.
Ii forkfull of manure is dropped in a
hill for moles mole will soon show us
that he knows it and how to work iI a
circle until every seed has been dried up,
or plant destroyed, and if the manure is
spread broadcast then the moles travel
in the same way, producing broadcast
destruction.
1t does not help us to be informed that
the moles are only seeking their natural
food, and have no desire or inclination to
be mischievous, but they are all the same,
and the food they seek is generally the
harmless angleworm and not the Larvae
OF insects as many writer's have claimed
TO shield the moles from total condemna-
tion. If mole was very hungry and
would no doubt make n meal of white
grubs, in fact, have tested his taste for
different kinds of food and have found
that he preferred the angleworms, and
would root up several square yards of
lawn i'm seeking his breakfast.
Traps are generally recommended as q
satisfactory means of destroying ground
moles, and II well made and of the right
pattern, and then properly set, the mole
stands but poor chance of escaping
thrust from the steel points. Unfor-
tunately my grounds are surrounded by
farms that seem to breed moles as freely
as they do the oXeYe daisy, and so have
to defend myself against tresspassing
moles as well as against the natural In
crease OF the home stock. 1t Is now
about twenty years since first began TO
use the modern mole-traps and may say
with fair success, for the number of
moles caught every summer with them
will average for the years
named about twenty-five, or say 500 in
all, but this slaughter has not exter-
minated the pests for we caught and
killed thirty-three during last season. /
have tried poisons of various kinds but
with no apparent beneficial results, and
even bi-sulphide of carbon poured into
their burrows only drives the moles to
new grounds few yards distant. The
noXious insects have never given me half
the trouble nor proved as great pests in
the garden as the ground moles, and
while / shall probably continue to use
traps in order to keep the pests in check,
| am anXiously looking for some better
and more rapid mode of determination.
