Dairy Notes.

Separate the buttermilk from the
butter as quickly as possible.
A hard milking COW is nuisance.
The COW should milk easily TO be Il
first-cass COW.
When COW stops chewing her cu2
while being MIXED, something has
gone wrong 10 disturb her.
The grain that is marketed in
butter and cheese is marketed in less
bulk, and hence at less freight rates
More patience and more good COM
mon sense in milking and handling
the heifer with her first calf, would
prevent the spelling of many COW.
There is used for soap grease and
other purposes than buttering bread
800, 900, 900 pounds of bad butter
every year in this country. Even at
ten cents pound there is q loss OF
$50, 900. 900.
Cows have likes and dislikes
They often conceive dislike for a
mixer. and that man or woman can
never get as much from them as one
they like can. Usually the only way
to discover their likes and dislikes
is to change mixers, and see which
does the best with the COW.
In drawing off buttermillz, the
National Stockman says: You can
catch al! the granules that run out
with the buttermilk with strainer
made this way: Make bottomless
box, four by six inches, with side
pieces projecting far enough to rest
on the top of bucket; tack some
fine wire cloth on the bottom of the
box and You have a good and eff
cient strainer.

A small coasting steamer foundered

Thirty-fve out of sixty-four passen-

The British house of commons has

A gang of Baltimore & Ohio railroad

Congressman Aitlxen introduced an
omnibus pension bill, which gives to
every soldier who served 60 days or
more in the late war pension of $40 a

pensions, and to re-rate at $40 all who
are now receiving less than that
amount.

A Fight With Death,

Thousands Of people have gone TO
their deaths with Bright's Disease OF
the Kidneys and Diabetes without sus-
pecting the nature of their trouble I'M
til within a month or two of the grave.
1t is now declared by one of the most
reputable Drug Associations in the
country that these kidney troubles are
the result of Uraemic poisoning and
that a certain cure has been discovered.
The majority of the people who find
health and strength gradually failing
either have no suspicion of the nature
of the trouble or having always been
told that Brights Disease could never
be cured have shrunk from the knowl-
edge that they were victims of it. Now
that a cure has oeen discovered, how
ever, there need be no hesitation in
learning what indicates the disease
and each case can be tested at home by
the one interested without either eX-
pense or inconvenience. Progressive
physicians are now agreed that for the
several months before child birth all
women are especially subject TO kidney
troubles and that tests should be made
during this time to determine whether
sugar or albumen indicate kidney dis
ease. The many cases of Uraemic con-
vulsions occasioning death at or pro-
ceeding childbirth are due TO this
cause which is too often overlooked or
unsupported. From all this it would
seem plain duty to take advantage OF
the offer of The American Drug Asso-
citation whose address is Cochnower
Bldg, Cincinnati, Ohio. The offer is,
that to each person sending their ad-
dress, test outfit including full direc-
tions and apparatus for the most ac-
curate test for Bright's Disease and
Diabe ties will be sent, securely pack ed
in wooden case, free of cost. The
Association is well-known 70 us and
can be depended upon to do just what
they say.

Household Helps.

If apples are cored before they are
pared there is less danger of their
breaking.
If Ink is spattered on woodwork it
may be taken out by securing with
sand and water and a little ammonia,
then rinsing with soda and water.
1t is better to have the sauce
poured around an article than over
it. and to have the border of the dish
garnished with bits of parsley, celery
tops, or carrot leaves
The dishes on which meats, fish.
jellies and creams are placed should
be large enough to have a margin of
an inch or so between the food and
the lower edge of the border of the
dish.
Gold or silver embroidery may be
cleaned by warming spirits of wine
and applying it to the embroidery
with bit of soft sponge and then
drying it by rubbing it with soft,
new canton flannel
A tablespoonful OF melted butter
is measured after melting, but that a
spoonful OF butter melted is measured
before. The distinction should be
carefully observed, as it makes the
difference between success and
failure.
The work of garnishing should
not be overdUne. Even simple
garnish adds much to the appearance
of the dish, but too much decoration
only Injuries it. Garnishes should be
so arranged as not to interfere with
the serving.
Tea should always be made with
freshly boiled water. The gases
that are in water and give an agree
able flavor are driven off by boiling,
and when water has been boiled for
any length of time IL loses most OF
its gas and will not make tea OF
fine flavor.

Growing GooseberrIes.

The gooseberry is neglected fruit
with many, and an Indiana man in an
exchange speaks few words in ita
favor: The market is very rarely
over-supplied with the fruit, and
reason for this is that it can be
gathered and marketed through q
long season, instead OF all having to
be harvested and sold at one time.
The green berries sell readily almost
as soon as they are Large enough to
be picked, and bring then the best
prices of the season, but this is
equalized by the fact that later on
they are much larger, and bush
will then yield more quarts. A
gooseberry bush at three years
from planting should yield three
quarts of fruit, and after that five
quarts u season. An average
retail price is about ten
cents quart. The crop is
almost a certain one, for if the
worms are kept off, which may easily
be done by the use of hellebore. the
only other enemy they have to
fear is mildew. Our native varieties
are not much subject to that The
plant should be set on COOL moist
soil, and partial shade does not
injure them. Close pruning will in
crease their productiveness and tend
toward making them longer lived
The fruit is the very earliest of any
we have from our home gardens. and
for this reason only should be much
more widely grown than it is. In
planting we advise procuring one
year plants in preference to those
older. Give good cultivation, reg
ular manuring in the fall, and cool
mulch in the summer to protect the
roots, and we think you shall have
no cause to complain at the profit
which small patch of the fruit will
give you-Journal of Agriculture.

STATE NEWS MENTION
CONDENSATION OF INTEREST
ING NEWS ITEMS.
Annual Meeting OF State Grange at Lam
sIng.-Mysteriou' Death at Traverse
City.-State Items I'm General.
The state Grange.

The annual meeting of the Michigan
State Grange was held at Lansing.
Reports from the secretary and other
minor officers indicate that the finances
of the order are in excellent condi-
ton, although the organization has
experienced small growth during the
past year
The executive committees report
handles national issues. The financial
stringency, the committee says, is due
to the withdrawal of interest and divi-
dends on foreign capital and the with
drawal of foreign securities. The lack
of confidence is attributable TO the
eastern bankers, who, by painting
gloomy pictures, tried to force the
government to issue bonds. In course
of time the people began 20 believe the
bankers and to share their distrust.
The committee deplores the repeal of
the Sherman law. They say that a
single gold standard is not sufficient as
the basis of healthy currency.
The grange is in favor of restricting
the capitalization of railroads and
other corporations to the actual value
of the property they own, so that wa
tered stock may be done away with.
They believe in government postal
telegraph, and also in a government
parcel delivery under proper restric'
lions. They believe that penalties,
even Imprisonment, be imposed upon
railroad men for violating the railroad
laws, as, for instance, those laws which
require railroad companies to issue
tickets good for any member of the
family. They denounce the repeal of
the mortgage tax law of 1891 and say
that the law of 1898, which replaces it,
shows no signs of ability, research or
industry.
Free coinage, government loans and
warehouses for grain are treated as
dead issues, and no recommendations
are made.
A resolution was adopted urging the
contributions of produce for the relief
of upper peninsula miners, but oppos-
ing an extra session of the legislature.
There was also adopted a resolution
condemning the county road law en-
acted by the last legislature. The
position of the grange on this law is
that it places an expense of the inn
provement on the farms while the
wheelmau and carriage drivers reap
the large share of the benefit. Treas

of the year were S5,9l762; disburse-
ments, 50, 991.1S; cash on hand, ST.

There was a Battle between the
troops and the revolutionists near
Colonia Juarez, in the Sierra Madras,
Mexico. General Hernandez at once
left for the south with a strong body
guard. While hunting for the rebel
camp, the soldiers came across 100
rebels under command of Santa Ana
Perez. Fighting began an once and
continued for several hours, when the
troops were compelled to retreat in
disorder.
The rebels had the advantage of posi-
ton, being in mountainous region,
and fought from ambush. The rebels
lost 25 and the government losses are
variously stated at from $50 to 300.
Both sides had many wounded. The
rebel forces were badly depleted by the
fight and were unable to follow up the
advantage. Several officers were
killed.

Two Children Burned to Death.

When Mrs. Frank Stiles returned TO
her farm home, near Last Tawas, she
found her house in flames and all that
was left of her two pretty babies were
blackened, unacceptable corpses.
During the afternoon the father was
at work on the farm. Mrs. Stiles,
thinking everything was secure, ran
over to a neighbours house, leaving the
children alone. She was gone only a
short time. The house caught fire,
and the children could not escape.
Before the mother saw the flames the
little ones were sutfocated to death.
The oldest of the babies was but 3
wears and the youngest Is months old.
