Use of Hot Water.

To clean all kinds of fresh fish, can
be done by dipping them in hot water.
Have a wire net to fit some vessel made
then put the fish jim the net and dip it
in boiling water be careful not to scald
too much by letting them remain in the
water too long or the flesh will drop fl
the bones. They are easily cleaned in
half of the time it would take without
it.
To CLEAN New PoTAToEs.-B iling
hot water turned onto new potatoes while
young will loosen the thin outside skin,
then use small stiff brush and it will
clean them nicely.
For SICK STOMACH AND VOMITING -
Apply hot cloths dipped n.boiling water,
as hot as the patient can have it, laid on
the stomach and apply mustard leaves,
if to be had, if not ground mustard poul-
tice to tie bottom of the feet. 1t will
give almost instant relief until some

Milk-Churning.

farm, working alone, no ing potatoes or
picking up stones was not very attrac-
tive work, and / was accustomed to
think that work did not agree with me
very we'll. longed to hear the dinner
bell at noon, and watched the sun pretty
closely in the afternoon as it approached
the horizon, for at an hour from sun
down / was to 60 for the COWS, and [
had five COWS to milk before supper.
Some of them MIXED pretty hard and I
longnd for other methods, as my hands
would ache before my task was done.
One day | heard that someone had dis
covered an easy method of milking, by
the use of milking tubs, anil reasoned
that milk would flow through strsws as
readily as sweet cider, which was in
the habit of getting from the tub at
the cider press in that way. So l got
four nice straws and inserted in the
teats of my old COW that was partcu-
larly hard to milk, and soon had the
satisfaction of seeing four continuous
streams of milk flowing into the bucket,
and the cows udder emptied qnick v
without the hand aching process.
Eureka had found it short and
easy wav of the disagreeable job tf
milking. But the next morning came
the il qni1v, What's the matter with
II 4 old red COWS bag? Something
must have appened to it, for it vas all
caked up, and l had to confess my new
and purely sci-nIifi: process :, f milking
BY numerous appI cations OF remedies
in lew days the damaged u'der was
cured, and the hand methoi was the
only method thereafter pursue in draw
ing the tactical fluid from the COW.
Churning days came around resu-
larly, and were not much more enjoyed
than picking stones or hoeing potatoes.
There were in those days none of the
modern inventions for making butter,
seen by the hundred in our comfy fairs,
guaranteeing to bring the butter in five
minutes. The separator for milk was
also as little known as the grain sApara-
tor. Butter had to be made in thing
that was
big at the bottom,
Little at the top,
With a thing in the middle
Going whippete whOp."
We knew nothing in those days of the
good microbes that bel p make the butter
come, or the bad microbes that prevent
it's coming. Neither were thermome ers
in use to fix the exact temperature.
Agitation, agitation, agitation CT the
cream by the "thing in the middle"
was the main idea. eff you stop churn-
ing it will all go back, so keep churn-
ing;" and if long in coming we were
taught to sing
"Come butter, come butter come,
My master is waiting at the gate
For good butter cake;
SO come butter, come butter, come"
Whether there was inspiration in the
invocation or not, that added vigor to
the churning, it did seem to be effec.
tive in Fastening the desired end, the
coming f the butter.
By way of appreciation of this little
story, want to ask Florida children to
urge their parents to keep COW, and l
want Maj. Campbell to tell the AGRI.

A year ago warned a chap
Il thought him rather RASH
certain maid would iilt him
When he had spent his cash.
The time sped on--hs moneys gone
The simpering. false one, smiled
To see the presents he had given,
While she had him beguiled.
With airy nOthings, songs of love.
With words as false as sweet,
Until he laid his heart, and gifts,
Down at her dainty feet.
The gifts she kept. but not the heart.
That was too poor a thing;
He was not good enough, she said;
Twas quite another thing.
To take the man; he was too poor,
His hands with labor sOiled;
gentleman her mate should be
One who had never toiled.
He looks detected. well, he may,
He's learned a lesson, though,
Guess he'll secure the heart. next time,
Before the presents go.
The futures all before him now,
The past? well its behind.
And SOS his cash. but then, you know,
Trifes we should not mind.
Her father tolls each livelong day,
His vsage black begrimed
He rises with the dawn each morn,
He has no leisure time,
But strives to make both ends meet.
NObly his burden bears.
He'd like to earn a competence
'Gainst his declining years.
No thought of these things cross the mind
OF his fair daughter. though,
Her fathers comforts naught to her.
She aims to catch q beau.
Who can afford a brown stone house,
And keep a soft white hand.
Or. should he own phOsphate,bed
She'd gladly share the land.
IT'S fun to watch her when her friend
OF English" birth appears;
She almost takes his breath away
When she sweeps down the stairs
Dressed in her daintest, training gown
Her face with powder white:
While his face cOlOrs as he sticks
His russets out OF sight,
Under the chair, where he would like,
Also, to hide his hands,
And she ignores his aWkwardness,
For he has ca sh and lands. -
She sings, they walk, and softly talk,
And ere long say, "Good-bye;''
He hasn't popped the question yet,
She sadly wonders why.
Anon there comes another man;
She's heard his folks are rich,
Shed like to catch him if she could,
This airy little witch.
And as they take pleasant ride
Upon the rolling wave,
She hopes the tide will turn this time,
And better luck she'll have.
But when she finds her dearest friend
Has born away the prize,
She cannot sleep, nor always keep
The tear drops from her eyes.
She sleeps but little, for the nips,
BY countless room mates given
Make her wish she were off this earth
And safely housed in Heaven.
Her home is not paradise,
There's too much real estate
Accumulated on the walks,
And on the silver plate.
SO each day passes much the same;
The insects do their work,
But she will do no more, than she
Conveniently can shirk.
This is one type of wOmankind,
Though airy and suave,
IT'S not the true ideal woman
Who is helpful, true, and brave.

THROUGH SOLID ICE.
The Ice-Crushfng Steamboats, that Cross
the Straits of Mackinac.

The Ice-Crushfng Steamboats, that Cross
the Straits of Mackinac.
The most wonderful ice-crushing
steamboat in the world is built to carry
trains of cars across the Straits of
Mackinac, from Mackinaw City to st.
Ignace. Mich. In those straits the ice
in winter is prodigiously thick, and
when there is not a solid bridge of
clear blue ice over the water there is
apt to be a bridge of drift ice. The
ferry boats that carry the heavy trains
across this piece of water are obliged
to be powerful ice fighters, and they
are built in peculiar way to do their
fighting. Their bows, which are as
solid and strong as a naval ram, are
built to slope inward and outward,
SO that the boats climb up on
the ice and beat or crush it down.
The enormous weight of the newest
boat, the Ste. Marie, which is
five million six hundred thousand
pounds, will crush any ice that it rests
upon. Under the bow is a propeller
screw, which not only pulls the boat
ahead, but sucks the water outa from
beneath the ice in order that the ice
may be more easily broken. Then
again, the screw sucks the broken ice
away and casts it behind as the boat
pushes its way along
This new boat cost more than third
of million of dollars. She can carry
eighteen loaded cars on her three
tracks, and can make fifteen miles an
hour. Her side planks are six inches
thick. and the sides of the vessel are
nearly three feet thick toward the bot
tom of the hull. She is all coated with
quarter-inch steel except at the bow
and stern, where the steel plates are
two inches thick. The two ends of the
boat are almost solid tim Der to make a
battering ram of her. Her bow screw
is smaller than that in the stern, bat
with both at work she can make eight
miles an hour through solid blue ice
two feet thick, and when she encoun-
tiers soft or drift ice ten feet thick, her
forward screw will bore through IT
and hurl 1t ont of the way without il
greatly impeding her progress.--N. Y.
