for nearly Ave days. The nurses watch

to live. Then vitality flickered back
into vague semblance of its old sway.
What first clearly recall is refusing
to drink q certain potion put by the
nurse to my lips, and saying with We
hemence that l had already eaten and
drank more than was good for me. At
this time my watchers were afraid that
,, l might die of starvation, since the in
jections of nourishment on which | had
been living had begun to fail Of their
nutritive office.
But from that hour, straight along I
began to recuperate. Once started, my
bodily recovery was rapid. Not so,
however, my mental recovery. For a
good while l saw Conrad at my side,
though he was no longer there. For a
good while spoke to him and thought
that he returned my answers. The
realization that we had been separated
in a bodily way crept upon me with
drowsy slowness. At last l inquired of
my nurse:

The Hop-Pickers.

A chronicler Of the past and pres,
ent records, in the New York Even
ing Post, the degeneracy of the bust
ness of hop picking in the interior of
New York State. In his boyh0od all
the young men and women who were
in need Of money or out of health
repaired to the country annually,
picked hops for the farmers, shared
the meals of their wives and daugh-
ters, and returned home with nest
egg of $25 or so. The earning were
very acceptable to the poorer work
ers. and to the Others they meant
some extra tlneries or trip to New
York. The occupation was regarded
as proper and desirable, and more
over, the day often ended with a
country dance or some olher innocent
amusement. But the introduction
of the city hop-pickers has spoiled
this bucolic picture. The chrOniclel
SAYS of them: "The pickers are gath
cred Unfortunately and are COM
posed of an indolent class OF men and
women, who do not care to labor IN
dustrlously for the money they would
earn, but go rather for the 'gooc
time there is in it. Drinking anC
reyelry, an absence of all decency
brawls, midnight marauding, and al
occasional murder are the results o
their annual visit to the hop-6eld

LEGATION of 10000 of the biennial reports

legislature of two years ago failed to do
this, and now it is necessary to fall
back upon the old regulation Of the

handicap the board if an order for
more copies is not made early in the

been allowed sixty copies OF the report

CHURNING SWEET CREAM.

A Subject in Which All Dairymen AT~
Interested just Now.
There is much interest manifested in
the claims of those who are insisting
that cream may be churned sweet, and
more eXhaustively, if the temper allure
is made very low, some claiming as low
a temperature aseven So degrees, while
others deny this and put the lowest
limit at As degrees Renewed interest
has been manifested in the matter by
the published statement that the Nor
ton butter is made from sweet cream
churned at SO degrees and only leaves
OF of per cent of faith milk and but
ter fats On inquiry it is found that
the result is only made successfully
possible by separating the cream from
the freshly drawn milk with sep
arator and iced and churned at once.
Cream twenty-four hours old, no mat
ter how kept, is fresh, and right from
the separator is in part churned, which
last influence would be lost if the
cream was held a few hours. 1t may
ne possibly iue w Uuo oPCCluC blOou VI
butter cows, and more, that it is the
aim of the proprietor to have fresh
COW addea to the herd as often as once
in two weeks or even oftener 1t is
doubtful if the cream made from any
plans of gravity setting or kept for
several hours will churn extensively,
and will, if attempted, confirm the
usual idea in regard to it, but with a
specific dairy COW, fed sueculent foods,
the milk in part separating as soon as
MIXED and churned at once, the case
is entirely different. -Prac teal Farmer
