CHEEsY TASTE OF BUTTER.

The cause of a cheesy taste In butter
is the buttermilk that remains in it and
which quickly acquires the flavor of
cheese. 1t is indispensable that all the
milk be get out of the butter by the most
careful washing with cold water, the
colder the better, and brine is better than
water, because the salt makes the water
cooler. When the butter appears in the
form of small grains the churning is
stopped and cold water is poured into
the churn. This is better than drawing
off the milk at once without the water,
as the water thins the milk and makes 1t
easier to separate from the butter. The
butter grains also separate more easily in
the thinner liquid and float to the top,
and the smallest of them are not so apt
to escape from the churn. When the
milk an | water are drawn off, clear
water is poured into the churn, and the
butter thoroughly washed, until the
water pours off perfectly clear. An
ounce of fine salt is enough to pound of
butter, unless much of it is wasted in the
mixing, but only the finest quality of
salt is to be used.-New York Times.

A doctor writing in medical paper
says: can immense number of people
sleep on the left side, and this is the
most common csuse of the unpleasant
taste in the mouth in the morning, which
is generally attributed to dyspepsia. If
a meal has been taken within two or
three hours of going to bed, to sleep on
the loft side is to give the stomach a
task which is difficult in the extreme to
perform. The student of anatomy knows
that all food enters and leaves the stomach
on the right side, and hence sleeping on
the left side soon after eating involves a
sort of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also interfered
with considerably, and the lungs are un-
duly compressed. 1t is probable that
lying on the back is the most natural
position, but few men can rest easily so,
and hence it is best to cultivate the
habit of sleeping on the right side"

POPCORN BALLS.

The popcorn ball of the confectioner,
made of tasteless corn, small amount
of white sugar aud gum arabic, notwith-
standing its white beauty, is very in
fer;or article in taste compared witt the
home made balls. In our family the little
folks are exceedingly fond OF cornballs,
aud one of the number, young girl,
quito prides herself on her skill in max
lng them. The younger children she'll
the corn aud assist in the popping. A
peck pail is almost filled with the ex.
ploded grains, excluding those irrever-
emily dubbed "old maids" the grains
that will not pop.
Half a pint OF molasscs and half a
pint of sugar are mixed together and
put on to boil; to this is added half a
tcaspoonful Of salt and teaspoonful of
batter; this must boil until it Is about
ready to candy, when it is poured over
the corn; as it is poured the corn should
be gently stirred with the handle of a
long spoon, and the candy distributes l
through it as evenly as possible; as soon
as it is sufficiently cool, with buttere l
hands the corn is formed into balls; the
corn must not be pressed too hard when
making the balls.
The butter aud salt-so there IS not
too much OF the latter-improve the
taste very materially. Of course these
balls are not so nice looking as those of
the confectioner; but they are far more
palatable. ALBANY Cultivator.

Cut the Pennies In Two.

How many collectors of coins know
anything about the curious half-peuce
issued centuries ago by English authori-
ties, half-pence in the truest sense of the
words, since they were nothing more
than minted pennies cut directly in half3
Specimens of these coins have been dis
covered frequently among the buried
treasures which from time to time have
been unearthed in Great Britain. In
Lancashire in 1910 were found rare lot
of coins, among which were several
pennies of the time Of Alfred and Ed
ward divided in this way.
Similarly divided pence of the time of
Edward the Confessor have been found /,
and in speaking of the discovery in
1888 of number of these curious halt
pence of the time of William the Con-
queror, an unquestioncd authority states
that they were probably issued from the
mints in that form, since the whole coll
lection had evidently been in circula-
ton.
In the British Museum in London are
specimens of these divided coins issred
under various monarchs from Alfred to
Henry ILL.,, with the latter of whom the
custom ceased. An eminent arch@ologist
accounts for the divided coins by saying
that this doubtless arose from the scarcity
of small change, which was in part
remedied under the reign of Edward 1.
by the coinage of half-pcnce and farth-
ings.--Chicago Tribune.

sTAWRERRIEs.

1t is not so much to keep the plants
from freezing that they are covered in
winter, but mostly to keep the water
from washing the dirt from their roots.
Plants are never thrifty unless well rooted.
They are more likely to have their roots
disturbed when planted on slope where
the water from melted snow and rain
runs down in streams. Suitable cover
ing will keep the soil unbroken. Coarse
hay or straw is a good covering. 1t is
customary to remove such in the spring,
but the question has been asked why it
should not be left until entirely decom-
posed to benefit the plants in summer, as
it will wash into the soil and increase its
fertility, and also keep the berries out of
the dirt--Mexican Farmer.

SELECTING SEED CORN.

Many good farmers select the seed for
next years corn crop in autumn. All
farmers should do so, but too many are
thoughtless or perhaps careless concern
ing this matter, and when planting time
comes they 60 to the crib for it. This
season, owing to the wet weather, much
corn was planted very late, and the
probabilities are that should there be
severe cold weather early during winter
it will be found, when too late, that a
large per cent. of the corn in the crib
will fail to germinate. This being true
all corn growers should see that they
secure an abundant supply of seed corn
before severe freezing weather aud store
the same in dry room where the tenn
perature will not fall at all below the
freezing point during the coolest
weather. Many writers advocate the
gathering Of seed corn from the earliest
ripenlng stalks, on the theory that the
corn will be earlier. Be this as it may,
the best seed corn cannot be secured in
this way, says writer in Western
Farmer. The proper time, and the only
proper time, to select is when the corn
lis husked. Let the husker keep all the
best ears separate from the remainder of
the corn by fastening box that will
hold bushel or two somewhere about
the wagon in which may be placed the
selected ears. When taken to the crib
the box is emptied aud after more
critical examination the very best ears
are secured for seed. This method takes
very little trouble, and you are sure that
your seed corn will grow when planting
time comes. l think many times that
corn thus selected makes more vigor-
GUS start and is less liable to rot after
planting than corn taken from the crib.
Furthermore, by careful selection of
seed it requires but few years to est.b-
lish your own ideal corn.

ASHES FOR FArrENrNe HOGS.

It is the practice of good farmers to
feed either ashes or wood coal to fatten-
ing hogs, especially those fattened with
corn. Such hogs often suffer from iadi-
gestion, and the alkali corrects the sour
ness of stomach which is always preva-
lent when digestion is interfered with.
II is possible that coal or ashes may in
time iniure digestion, just as soda or sal
eratus in food Injuries the digestion Of
people. But for hog that is to be
killed in few weeks, permanent lessen
ing of digestive power does not much
matter.-Boston Cultivator.

BEES AND HONEY.

A writer in the American Bee Journal
is satisfied that bees usually examine and
select the place where they intend to To-
cate, either before swarming or while
clustered before their second flight, as he
has caught several swarms within the past
two years by placing hives with frame
OF empty comb in conspicuous place.
In nearly every instance he saw few
bees going in and out of the hive one or
two days before the swarm arrived, and
the swarm when it came went directly to
the hive and alighted upon it, going in
very quickly. None of the bees were
swarms from his own hives, being black
bees, while his were nearly pure Italians.
A bean-grower and beekeeper in the
Santa Clara Valley, California, moved his
bees into the beautield when other sources
of honey failed, and got from the bean
flowers good crop of first class honey
that did not cost bean. Perhaps other
beekeepers might take hint aud plant
field of beans on purpose for the bees
to visit. The beans are profitable crop
of themselves, but when the honey value
is added there should be large profit.
Those who have the movable frame
hives, but do not use the comb founda-
ton, are often troubled by having the
bees build across the frames instead of
upon them, thus making it no better than
the ordinary box hive. 1t is said that
this can be entirely prevented by cover
ing the under side of the top piece of the
frame with melted beeswax, as the bees
will build upon that line of wax. The
hives should stand level, to have the
combs true in the frame.
Bees often begin to breed before there
is any pollen on the flowers if standing
too much exposed to the sun in the warm
spring days, but it is better 20 keep them
back little longer, even if it be neces.
sary to shade the hives upon such days.
Larvae Matching SO carly cannot be prop
erly fed.

Obituary..
MRS. MARY A. GROVE.

MRS. MARY A. GROVE.
Mrs. Mary A. Grove departed
this life Aug. 8, 1893 aged Is years,
l month and II day.
She was born in Washington Co.,
Maryland, June %, 1918, and her
maiden name was Mary A. Tritsch
Nov. 20, 1889 she was married to
Corbin Grove, and to them were
born seven children, of whom two
sons survive her.
Many years ago she made pro-
fession of faith in Christ, and unit
ed with the Evangelical Lutheran
church in Shepards Town, Va.
The family moved to Ohio, and
settled first in Pickaway County.
Subsequently there was removal
to Logan, O., where Mrs. Grove re-
sided until her death.
1t appears from the records Of
the Logan Presbyterian church,
that she came into the communion
of that church by letter, from the
Evangelical Lutheran church of
Circleville, o.
Since then, she continued in con-
nection with the Logan Presbyter-
ian church, maintaining an up
right and consistent christian
walk. For some time after the BE-.
ginning of my pastora te she was
able to attend public wor ship; but
infirmities coming upon her she
was forced to forego the privileges
of Gods house.
In the seclusion Of her home she
was devotional, and exemplary in
christian life.
In suffering she was patient and
submissive, and tenderly consider
ate of the welfare of others.
1t was my privilege to visit her
on her seventy-fifth birthday in
June last. Then she still re tanned
her mental powers, and requested
at worship that I read the 18th
chapter of Ecclesiastes so beauti.
full expressive of the con scious
presence with her, in the days Of
her decline, of the God whom she
had remembered in the days of
her youth.

death whether brother, sister, sons
or grandchildren, the God whom
she loved while she lived, and
whom she trusted when she died
