Members, Read what He Has to Say
About the Club.


About the Club.
Dear Howard Friends-When | opened
my paper and turned to the page l was
deeply convinced by the stern fact that
We the members of the n. l.. &. upon
whom rests the success or failure OF the
club are grossly neglecting our obliga-
ton TO the club. Yes, bear with me, dear
friends, when put il thus. Wherein lies
the cause, and who is responsible for this
state OF affairs? Echo returns to us
with the same words-no explanation TO
light the darkness now lowering like a
cloud over the club.
Truly the affairs of the club are i'm a
very bad condition. but. members. where
are our love for club principles if we,
from this cause only. shirk our duty and
allow our beloved organization to sink
into oblivion? We should hold such
strong relations to it that We will not
step aside. If an officer or member. either
through negligence or by an oversight
bring trouble upon the club, but love 1t
the more. thereby lending IL aid sufficient
TO re-establish IL again. Friends, am I
not right? Can we not see where we
should stand? i sincerely hope that a
gentle breeze, by conscience waited, Will
so fan the spark of love for club objects
that IL will become an increasing flame.
May we become so enthusiastic over the
opportunities being held out to us TO
make life a blessing. that we will COM
pletely Danish this state of suspense.
The work of making out a new ballot
is tedious, and you are aware of the
necessity Of proceeding with care. Then
please bear with us.
Members, are you ready to lend us
your aid? We hope so. Remember
your obligation to the club. Remember
the page. With this 1 am yours for the
right. COMET

fat with the casein to make a rich
cheese. Times have changed in that re
gion since, but it is significant Of her
worth that the Holstein COW still re-
mains and holds her original prestige.
Butter manufacture began to creep
In, and now creameries are springing UP
beside the cheese factories. It is thought
in many quarters that the Holstein is
a poor butter cow, but in the face of
this butter manufacture innovation she
still remains and fourishes. Still an
other new change came to test her
worth. Milk began to be shipped to the
city and a standard of solid for the
tactical fluid was established. With but
few exceptions this milk came up To this
test bravely, and most of these eXcep-
tions had the tide turned so that they
passed the legal mark. by an imposed
system of feeding. Subjected TO the
most severe tests, Holstein milk, when
coming from well regulated dairies, has
met the requirements of all legal and
common needs.
II am not Dragging up the Holsteins
TO the detriment of other breeds. as L
have no AK to grind, but I wish to state
the facts as above, where this breed
has been tried and not found wanting.
When a great dairy region. like that
i'm New York. thoroughly tests these
black and white cattle, and does not find
enough fault with them TO reject them,
il is a pretty good recommendation"

Nothing in the bath room should be

place, they must not only be thoroughly

Good Words for HoIsteIns.

Every breed OF cattle has its advo-
Gates. The following is from the pen
Of an authority in dairy matters, Mr..
Newell:
"A few years ago the Holstein breed
OF mich cows began TO be generally
adopted by dairymen i'm central New
York. Dairymen in that region are
some of the foremost i'm the United
States. and at that time their milk was
almost exclusively manufactured into
cheese. When the Holsteins We're intro
duced they came to stay, and It did not
take but few years time for the char
acteristic red hue OF the old common
breeds to become tinged with black by
the infusion of the new blood. The
Holsteins We're found to be excellent
cheese cows, for they were soon proved
TO be prolific mixers, their milk con-
tanning sufficient amount of butter

The Road Problem.

Mr.. Il. +. Johnson, the well-known
farmer and writer. says:
There are indications-and they are
unmistakable-that the electric street
car lines that now ply In almost every

tended into the country and in that
way will the hard-road problem be
shorn of most of its difficulties. | am
told that i'm Ohio electric railroads have
been run out into the country fronl three
or four interior cities. and farmers living
on custly. welldgraded roads, employ
them i'm preference TO hauling freight of
any kind by horses and wagons; and for
visits to town and the neighborhood, to
the two-horse family carriage or the
single horse and buggy II is not
difficult to imagine so large an extension
of electric roads and so much broaden
ing of their uses that on ears made for
the purpose horses with loaded wagons
and carriages and their contents viii

of the wheel than in going to and from
stations. 1t has always been my
thought that the road problem would
be solved. or practically so. in some un-
expected way Experiments and efforts
have been made for the last thirty years
10 ascertain If there were not some
means Of making hard roads in soft
weather, at n cost that would not come
near to confscating landed property.
No success has come To these expert
ments: hard, smooth and lasting roads

CONCERNING OVENS.
How They Are Managed by Careful
Cooks.

The condition of the average stove oven
in which food and pastry are baked is
not such as to inspire admiration. In
fact a perfunctory sort OF sweeping Is
about all the cleaning our stove ovens
ever receive. In a great many cases
remnants Of dishes which have boiled
over remain for months charred on the
oven bottom.
Now, all this negligence I'm the care
of the oven undoubtedly affects the food
cooked in it, In some parts Of England
where brick ovens are used the walls
of them are whitewashed. This purifies
them, as common whitewaSh, IL Is well
known, is an excellent disinfectant OF

an ordinary iron stove oven in this way.
as the lime would corrode the oven. In
some parts Of Europe the ovens are tiled.
and these may be easily washed clean.
There is no possible objection to wash
ing out the oven Of an iron range. II
this Is done systematically at least once
n week from the beginning the oven will
never get i'm the black. sooty condition in
which Il is so frequently found.
When anything boils over in the oven
IL should be allowed to burn to a char.
as II then may be easily scraped off and
brushed out After this the oven should
be thoroughly aired. 1t is a great mis-
take to bake delicate dessert or cake or
pie in the same oven with "A dish of meat
which has been favored with onions or
strong spices. The flavor of the meat
will Invariably affect the more delicate
dishes The shallow closet under the

1t is certainly a very disagreeable and

would always skim at twelve hours.
The cream should be thoroughly stirred
three times a day until churned, and
always churned as soon as ripe One
advantage of the water-sealed plan of
setting milk is that the milk can be kept
near the well. in a very inexpensive
dairy-house. A good roof and a cement
floor. with latticed sides, and grape
vines on the south and west, is all that
is needed. Mine is on a level with a.
north porch. and the we'll is in the CEN
ter, that we pump directly into the
tank. There is no carrying milk down
and up stairs, and the dairy-room is al
ways cool to churn in the morning.

TYPHUS FEVER,

The experience with the cholera at
a battle with it will have to be fought
this year, and the dread of the effect of
it on the Worlds fair, combine to make
nervous people susceptible to the
presence of disease of any kind and to
cause them to magnify danger from
that source. This explains the promi-
nence given to the news of the out
break of typhus fever in New York.
That is filth disease, as cholera is,
and probably no great seaport city is
ever entirely free from it. In the
earlier days it was known as ship fever,
because developing out of the uncleanli-
ness Of immigrants on voyage. The
probability is thatth cases of it in New
York are traceable to immigrants
They settled in the worst portions of
the city, and their squalor, their .igno-
rance of all sanitary laws, their
wretched modes of life, were punished
by visitation of typhus. The first case

cattle, and from that it spread to other
like places, until about four score per-
sons have fallen before it, but the
deaths from it have been comparatively
few.
The health authorities have taken
vigorous measures against it, and will
stamp 1t out. 1t has been the more vic,
lent because of the cold weather which
kept the unclean poor huddled like
sheep in the filthy pens which go by the
name Of homes, to the disgrace of civil.
cation, but to the qualification of the
greed which feeds on misery.
There is no occasion to fear this out
break, no matter how large the type in
which its ravages are described, but
there is occasion to take warning from
it and deal vigorously with the dirt thai
invites it.

BOSTON'S BIG BLAZE.
A Reporter Killed and Twelve Poop
Hurt-Loss, 81, $4,000

durC-lOSS1 SI,OOO,OUO.
Boston, Jan. 1.-THE largest and most
exciting fire the city has known since
Thanksgiving Day, 1889, started soon
after o'clock yesterday in the basement
of the four-story building 219 to 221
Federal street, owned by Hecht Bros,
wool dealers, who occupied the greater
portion of the premises. The fire burned
over some 20, 900 feet of land and involved
a loss estimated at nearly 81, So, 900.
The cause of the fire has not yet been
definitely ascertained, although spontane-
GUS combustion is the theory accepted by
many.
The oily nature of the fuel caused the
flames to spread rapidly and before they
had been conquered four fine blocks on
Federal and Summer streets were in
ruins and their contents, largely wool,
were consumed.
Nine firemen were injured besides three
spectators, but the saddest accident of all
connected with the fire was the killing of
Joseph F. Parker, a Transcript" re-
porter, who was crushed by a falling wall
of Hecht Bros. building
