A CREAM BROODER.
Simple Device Which Has Given Satisfac-
tory Results.

Slmple Device Whlch has Given SatisIac-
tory Results.
The following note is contributed to
the Rural ew-Yorker by Mr.. A. G.
Chapman, and may afford useful sug-
gestion, though it seems to us that one
might far better get a ripening vat, the
best device being emphatically the
cheapest in dairying.
1t is good deal of trouble to keep
cream at proper temperature in win
ter. If the whole mllk-room is kept
warm, it costs good deal for fuel, as
no fire is needed where the creamer is
used. If the cream has to go behind
the stove in the living room, it is much
in the way, and may absorb some of
the odors from the cooking vegeta bles.
1t makes good deal of hard Juggling
for some one; so / concluded to make
small room on the principle of the
brooder
Make a box wide and high enough
to hold cream pail and long enough
to hold all the cream pals you have.
Make cover that can be laid on and
will be tight. Cut hole foot square
in the bottom and line the edges with
tin. Stop this up by mailing piece of
sheet iron over it on the outside. Nail
on some legs SO as to raise it up from
the floor high enough to put lamp
under it. If in room where wind will
blow, get box without a cover and

HOW TO MAKE ROADS.

Worlds Fair Exhibit of the National
League for Good Roads.
One day not long ago a man who had
worn shoulder straps in the union army
was riding over wrinkled stretch of
prairie road. The road IS in county
not far from Chicago. The state might
be Indiana, Illinois or Wisconsin. Any
one of them could furnish the road. 1t
was a road which appeared to have
warped in drying. The middle of the
ridge was f1uted like a washboard. At
places the ruts broadened and deepened
into holes large enough for graves. 1t
was slow travelling, for the light buggy
lurched and struggled on its squeaking
springs. The old soldier held on with
both hands and delivered himself of
this opinion: IF I'm ever in service
again and want to cover a retreat, Pll
detail a township supervisor to stay be-
hind and work the roads. It'll be just
rs gooG as burning bridges"
This road had been "worked"-in
fact, overworked.
The neighboring farmers had plowed

they scraped the dirt up toward the

needed to get excellent results.

Two Strange Death Customs.

In some parts of England a queer
custom is still in vogue, which is re-
peated whenever a death occurs. 1t is
called the bite of SIM" and whenever
some one in house die, piece of
bread is laid on the breast of the corpse
which some stroller is persuaded 10
eat for good sum of money. In this
way it is believed that the sins of the
dead are transferred to the living, who
in turn can shove them off together
with his own by similar ceremony
when his life comes to an end. On the
Sandwich Islands the widows have the
names of their departed husbands tat
