Turnip Flavor in Milk.

Farming World: The only way to
get turnip flavor out Of the milk is to
heat the milk in a warm bath to 135-
40 degrees imediately after milking.
This will completely eradicate the
turnip flavor and the milk viii make
good, sweet butter. This heating of the
milk will also cause the cream more
perfectly to rise if set in shallow pans,
and will thus increase the amount of
butter. We have often described the
mode of heating milk in a water bath,
which is, in short, to set the vessel con-
tanning water, allowing the water to
circulate under the vessel containing
the milk by raising it ON two thin bars
of iron. The milk will then be heated
by hot water and cannot be scorched.
The faint of milk from sour or moldy
ensilage is removed by heating it to
40 degrees. We have made butter
quite satisfactory to very particular
customers after thus heating the milk.

INNOCENCE of Nnutn

view: Not only have [ thought con-
stantly and deeply on this subject for
many years, but l have had during
that time intimate and alfectionate re-

and the conclusion at which | have ar
rived is that this natural curiosity of
growing minds in regard to all sub
Jects should be mot by older people
with q wise and judicious tolerance.
and satisfied by Il disclosure of as
much of what is the truth as the
grown person i'll question thinks the
child capable of comTrehending. OF
course, in the moral education Of
young girls, due reference should be
had to their characteristics both of
body and mind. Some intel!ectS can
digest and benefit by knowledge which
would only burden and disturb those
less strong or those which are unIuly
eNCitable and imaginative. That which
according to my views, should be
avoided, is a system of training from
eliminated. A knowledge IF the laws
which govern physical nature seems to
me not only the right of every think
ing being, but the only means by
which people will ever be brought to
look simply, wisely, and innOcCntly at
certain fundamental facts upon which
rests the whole structure OF existence,

RULES WITH AN IRON WILL.
The Strange Way i'll Which an Africa
Queen Treats Her People.

The Strange Way in Which Africa
Queen Treats Her People.
A medical missionary in Africa
writes Harper's Bazaar of IN invita-
ton received from a native ruler,
Queen Sandymanda. A very busy,
energetic woman she has shown her
self to be, so that her limited realm
holds the first rank in that section of
the dark continent. Her enemies
mostly men, as we Understandable
her sworn foes, for she has built a
town and rules it successfully. "She
rules with an iron WILL" and has dis
comfted the kings living near her
domains in all their attempts to put
her down.
Her methods of government are GER
tainly peculiar. She treats her slaves
like free people, allowing them to go
and come as they please, if they only
express their wishes to the royal mis-
tress, excepting them to faithfully &C,
complish a fixed apporionmeIlt of Ia
Dor in payment of the food consumed
by each, and which is mainly rice.
Her town, an inland one having direct
communication with the seacoast, has
naturally grown to be q noted center
of trade; it is called Jarbacca.
it is plain to see that this African
queen knows her own mind and is
not to be dethroned by triglling men

Other PennIe,s Convenience.

3 Bits of Pasture: We ought to think

than some of us do. The home is the
place where this thoughtfulneSs ought
TO begin and be cultivated. One who
comes late to breakfast admits that he
has been guilty of an amiable self
indulgence, but forgets that he has
marred the harmonious flow of the
household life and caused confusion
and extra work. The other day an
important committee of fifteen was
kept waiting ten minutes for one tardy
member, who came saunteriug in at
last. without even an apology for
causing fifteen men Il loss Of time that
to them was very valuable. besides
having put sore strain on thein
patience and good nature. Common
life is full of Just such thoughtIesSness,
Which causes untold personal incon-
Yenience, and Ofimes produces irrita-
ton and hurts the hearts of friends.
we ought to train ourselves in all our
lie to think also of Other people.

in the matter; that the proceedings
were initiated on tie LIST Of August, ind
hey had been strangely delayed until
the present time, and now more time
was asked. AS already stated, the mat
ter of time may hereafter be very i'm
pOrtant and may be urged to embar-
rass proper consideration of the case.
He did not desire however to cut he
defendant off from a full and fair ne
sentatior OF his side of the case, but
that the plaintiff and relator were pre-
pared now to take up the whole matter
and dispose of it, and that he certainly
thought the argument should not be
delayed further than until the 18th,
and that he hoped the court would see
fit to fix it for that day.
During the proceeding, Justice Pinney
inquired whether or not the court in the
exercise of its prerogative jurisdiction
was at all bound by the ordinary rules
Of practice laid down in the statute. To
this Col Bird replied that he thought
the court very clearly was not bound by
them where they would tend in any
way to impede or circumscribe it in
the exercise Of its prerogative jurisdic-
ton conferred upon it By the cOnsti-
tuition; but where they did not have
that effect, and the court was left free
in the full exercise of its jurisdiction,
it might doubtless be proper to conform
thereto.
Chief Justice Lyon stated that the
matter would be considered by the
court and that it would announce its
conclusion as to the time Of hearing
the motion at as early an hour as pos
sible
When the court met in the afternoon,
it announced that it desired to hear full
and argument Of the
motions Sept. 20. Thus the whole
matter will be discussed at that time,
and a decision may therefore be ex-
pected early in October.

Saving Seed.

1t is manifestly great advantage to
| gather ones own seed every season.
NO matter how trustworthy and good
seed houses are, quite Il percentage of
| their seeds will be poor. This is stated
adYiSedly, and after careful testing of
Il great number. In the frequent hurry
Of large establishments poor seeds in
| some way get mixed with the good
ones, and the percentage of those that
! will terminate is too often large.
| While the bulk of our seeds probably
come from commercial seedsmen, there
is a considerable quantity that can be
| gathered from the home garden. 1t is
| with seeds as it is with fertilizers, but
even the best should not make us neg
lect the homemade fertilizers Seeds
should be looked at in the same light.
In gathering them during the summer
season, several points must be observ-
ed, says Country Gentleman. The ger
| mlnatiOn of seeds depends upon such
| things, and these, external, must be
| understood. One great trouble with
| seeds is that they are gathered before
they are mature. If a quantity is
gathered, some Of them will be found
to be small, green and light, showing
clearly that while some are perfectly
ripe, others have not yet matured.. The
time for gathering is when the pods or
shells are yellOW,and ready to drop the
seeds Oh the ground. Even then a
small percentage will be useless, and
the immature ones should be sifted out
and destroyed. There are others
which have dark, dry-lookipg shells or
huSkS, and these are so light that they
can be removed with the tanning mill.
Seeds gathered during a wet season
are often mOldy, and the signs of decay
are already present. They should be
carefully rejected. Seeds must be
selected from good stock plants. These
plants must be singled out early in the
growing season, and good cultivation
should be given to them right up to
the time of gathering the seeds. Il
weeds are allowed to grow up around
them they become coarse in texture
and rapidly deteriorate in quality. The
seeds will inherit some Of these OBJ
jectionable qualities, and perpetuate
them in the plants of the next season.
Good, large-groWing, tender and we'll
favored plants are the ones to select.
A rank-grOWing one is not necessarily
good seed plant. Too great moisture
or heat or lack of food supply will aften
give an unnatural growth to the plants.
and the seeds will partake of the same
qualities.
After these points are considered, it
must then be remembered that there
are external circumstances which af-
feet the termination of seeds Very
many good seeds fail to produce good
plants. This is generally owing to the
poor surroundings, a bad season or I'M
congenial soil. But, nevertheless, the
percentage of good ones will be such
as to insure a fairly successful crop
But seed that is poor in possibilities
should not be used, for under the most
favorable circumstances it can only
produce an inferior plant

which is more than human nature can
