ANOTHER LIFE SAVED.

ESoC S. SMALL, of Windham Centre,
Me-, writes For some time | have been
very sick with kidney disease and was
given up to die; in fact did not expect
to live muc.l longer. l was all bloated
up to nearly twice my usual size, and
had continued pain in my kidneys and
liver. tried doctors medicine in vain,
took two bottles of very well-known
sarsaparilla, without receiving any BEN
eft, and at last began taking Aliens
Sarsaparilla. The first few doses made
me feel worse, and l thought should
have to give it up, but continued its
use and had not taken half bottle before
began to feel very much better. con-
tinued to improve and now | consider
myself cured. have no pain, the sore
ness and weakness are all gone, and l
am gaining strength every day.
think Aliens Sarsaparilla saved my
life, and am glad of an opportunity to
speak in its praise and to recommend it
to others.

An Instructive Potato Test.

A most intere sting and instructive
experiment was made at the Massachu-
sets station (AmhersD to ascertain
whether potatoes would yield more
when the potash was supplied as sui
phate worth five and one-fourth cents
per pound than with potash as muriate
worth four and one-half cents per
pound. The varieties of potatoes were
Clark's, New Queen and Beauty of
Hebron. The same amount of potash
and bone was used 10 the acre-viz., 400
pounds of potash and 600 of bone. The
bone analysed four per cent of nitrogen
and twenty three per cent of phOsphorc
acid. The sulphate of potash Analysed
fifty per cent actual potash and the
muriate thirty six-four per cent, it
will be seen, less than the sui phate.
There were six plots, two to each
variety of potato. The yield was in
every instance larger when sulphate of
potash furnished the potash than when
muriate furnished it, the average in.
crease being sixteen bushels TO the
acre. In the )ove experiments it is
further worthy of note that the Beauty
of Hebron outyielded the New Queen
by fifty-four bushels to the acre and
Clark's by eighty-three bushels.

Cream Ripening and Churning.

Skim the milk clean. There is alto
gether too great waste of butter fat in
the ordinary handling of milk on the
farm. Set the milk i'll ice water the
year round and skim it only after it has
stood "A hours, or, better still, procure
q Baby separator if the amount of milk
is large enough to justify the outlay.
Use the Balcock milk tester to ascertain
how much butter fat is left in the skim
milk under your ordinary method of
handling it, and the chances are you
will find that the waste would soon pay
for all necessary Improvements in dairy
utensils.
Ripen the cream properly. Let it
stand neither too long nor too short Il
time The usual fault is that it stands
too long and spoils before it is churned.
The cream should not be gathered logger
than for one day, or the portion first
gathered will acquire bad taste and
smell. If there is too little for churn-
ing, it can be kept longer by keeping it
in ice water all the time until ready to
be set aside to ferment. Then raise tho
temperature to about IS degrees F., and
at this temperature add a little fresh
butternilk, between 8 and 10 per cent
of the weight of the cream, which will
serve as starter. Next set the cream
aside in suitable crock in place
where the temperature ranges between
60 and 70 degrees f. If this is done
some time during the forenoon, the cream
will be ready to churn early the next
morning &c should be stirred several
times during the day, When ready to

AGRICULTURAL.

DIR. RICH tested last week the cows
of Mr.. Hibbard's herd in Brook6eld.
Four out of the twenty responded to
the test and were killed. All were
found TO be badly diseased. Two were
in an exceptionally corrupt condition.
These were from the famous Moulton
herd, we understand, and the other two,
standing next to them in the stall, had
contracted the disease from their un-
sound neighbors. A large number of
farmers were in attendance, and were
deeply interested spectators. After the
slaughter of two of the diseased cows,
many declared that they had seen
enough. The opinion was freely ex-
pressed that it was time for the legis-
lature to do something" One farmer
was heard 10 say that he had kept his
herd clean by selling off the suspects.
Another had lost eighteen cows by
death from tuberculosis.

BoNNY EAGLE, Me. Gentlemen -
Your Sarsaparilla has been of untold
value to me. For twenty-six years l have
suffered from acute rheumatism; have
had rheumatic fever eight or ten times,
and have hardly been free from rheumat-
ic pains for many years until about sew
en- months ago. For the last six or
eight years l have suffered terribly. l
have spent hundreds of dollars for doc
tors and medicine, but could get no benz
eft. tried all the remedies known, in
Guiding two kinds of sarsaparilas, but
continually grew worse, until was un-
able to do even the lightest work. l
could hardly move around. l was in
this condition, and had been so for over
a year, when | began taking Aliens
Sarsaparilla. l have now taken six bot
ties, and have hardly felt twinge of
rheumatism for seven months, during
which time | have been doing a mans
work every day. | can now do as much
hard work in a day as the majority of
men, all of which is due to Aliens
Sarsaparila. ELLIS B. USHER.

demned and killed should, in some
equitable measure, be unidentified for
his loss, and the state may properly fix
this indemnity and pay it. The burden
can hardly be heavy one for the whole
state, as competent authority estimates
that five per cent of the cattle will
cover the entire aggregate loss.
This law should be executed by a
commission created for this special
purpose. The board of agriculture has
heretofore performed the duties of
cattle commissioners. That board has
in its own proper sphere, enough to en-
gage the time and energy of its men,
bers. This matter is one of such vital
Importance, it should not be attached
as an annex or "!ean-to" of some other
commission. 1t should be the main
edifce, and built of such substantial
material as the importance of the bust
ness to be entrusted to it demands.
Suppeme ntary to its labors within the
boundaries of the state, it should have
ample powers to maintain an effective
quarantine along the borders Of the
state. No unsound animal should be
suffered to enter the state to undo the
work of the commission.
Vermont's best material interests
and the health of the people are at
stake in this matter. The public is in
no mood for trihing. A law with teeth
and claws is demanded by the farmer
and every other class.

Washing Butter.

We are admonished by practical
butter maker to Ego lightly" en- the adj
vice of washing butter to free it of but
termilk, as such advice is dangerous,
and this practice (washing butter) has
injured tho butter trade more than any
one thing, possibly all put together. To
go lightly, we will say that by common
consent it is agreed that oleo and its
fraudulent sales have been the chief in
jury to the butter trade and more than
all other causes. Now, this whole mat
ter of washing butter and its injury is
one of comparison. All are agreed that
it is the buttermilk in butter that spoils
it-not any decay of the fats. Now,
which does get off flavor sooner, butter
that has been washed free of buttermilk
with weak brine and the 3 per cent of
moisture lett III the butter as water and
salt, or butter that has this . per cent
of moisture, etc, made up of water,
sugar, casoin, etc. : What have been the
results of comparative trials of keeping
the two kinds side by side under tho
same condit ons? How does washed and
unwashcd butter brought from the /, 001
farms look and compare with each other
when put upon the market counter?
What does the market judge say about
it? Which butter sells for the most and
is purchased sooner? Why is it that
unwashed and dry sailed butter is sold
from to IL cents less per pound than
the graduated, washed butter? How
many advanced dairyman, dairy schools
or No creameries are making un-
washed butter? How many makers Of
unUashCd butter are selling their prod.
uct at 90 cents pound and over, as are
hundreds of the others? The answering
of these inquiries will about settle the
whole matter.
Under certain conditions we thinl;
good, fine butter can be made with deli
cate aroma by not washing but the
cream must have fully 33 to 35 per cent
of its weight butter fat. 1t must be
churned at not over 50 degrees and
worked down dry regardless Of grain. y
Common unwaShed butter never has q
delicate, fragrant aroma, but the dis
tinct taste of buttermilk. Habit will
soon so accustom persons to its use that
they prefer it to new and clean Cut
flavor of the butter sharpened by the salt.
1t is advisable to sell fine butter as fast rs
made, as delicate aroma is soon gone,
but flavor as good as the other remains.
That is why we advise fine butter to be
sold fast, as that delicate flavor is what
brings the fancy price, Long keeping
and kept butter begs quotations and
seeks consumers john Gould in Prac.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube, When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, { nd
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
