 One can do three times as much by being quiet and taking things easy as by rushing. Girls in every station of life are hurting themselves by attempt ing to do too much. The girl who has to work is presentations, and the so- ciety girl thinks she must let as much as possible come into her life And so. between clubs and classes. with every form of gayety imaginable, she is working so hard that when she is thirty and should be reaching her prime, which physicians say is thirty-five. she is old and broken down.

cheese the Best bacteria Soil.

Cheese, the supposed-to- be-edible
milk curd of commerce, is the best soil
in the world for microbes and bacteria,
and on it's surface flourish millions
upon millions of infnitesimal parasitic
plant growth. A microscopic examine
tion of single grain of fresh cheese,
such as is usually sold at the grocera
proved that it contained not less than
5000 separate and distinct specimens
of bacteria. After seven days this
same section of cheese was examined
and found to contain $4,000 separate
and individual bacteria. Prof. De
Kahn says that a cheese properly
sliced and exposed will within week
be implanted with bacterial growth
containing more separate specimens
than there are trees upon the whole of
the earth's surface.

were generally followed.
,. Combined fungicides and insect
icides are recommended whenever ap-
plicable, because of a Saving of time; a
less liability of injuring foliage, a
greater efficiency in some cases, and as
precautionary measure in Others.
g. Dilute Bordeaux mixture, copper
arsenic solution and ammoniacal solu-
tiou of copper carbonate are the most
useful for the treatment of the dis
eases herein mentioned, and the first
has the widest range OF usefulness
of all.
4. Early spraying is the key to sue
cess in the use of fungicides
5. For the plum curculio and shot
hole fungus use Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green combined, making three
or four applications. 1t is not known

burning the diseased branches will ac-
complish the result.
| 6. Scabby apples rot much earlier
than those free from scab, and spray
ing with fungicides will save at least
I fifty per cent. of this loss.
Z. Spraying with fungicides in the
season of 1892 prevented much of the
early dropping of apples, which is
usually attributed to wet weather.
8. For apples, two applications OF
Bordeaux mixture before blooming are
advised, and two of the same mixture
after blooming with Paris green added.
8. The same treatment is recon-
mended for the pear as for the apple,
before blooming, but the copper-arsenic
solution is applied after blooming.
10. The bordeaux mixture, if used
too late, causes russet appearance on
both pears and apples.
II. The ounce may be treated the
same as apples, or with Bordeaux mix

12. The treatment advised for the
cherry consists of using two or three
applications of Paris green, two ounces
to fifty gallons of water.

eties of plums have very tender foliage
and must be treated with very weal

Important Discoveries Recently Made in

Important Discoveries Recently Made in
England and America.
Probably in no department of re-
search is greater amount of investi-
cation going forward and valuable
data and actual discovery being made,
says the Mark Lane Express, than in
dairy science, and while some of the
discoveries have been of little or no
value, a wonderful amount of useful
and practical material has been placed
in the hands of the dairyman. Among
the things announced, since it has
been shown how nearly the ferments
and flavors in butter are associated, is
that if certain acids are added to sweet
cream it is not necessary to wait for
the development of Tactic bacteria in
the cream, but that 1t could be churned
at once and churned quite readily and
the true flavor secured. Investigators
have been at work on this problem,
and an announcement of the results has
been made. The most satisfactory re-
suits came from using hydrochloric acid
diluted in twice its bulk of water, and
adding this in small quantities to the
sweet cream. Everything was satis-
factory, except that the butter had no
aroma, though it was pronounced fair
and good by the judges. The butter
kept well and had water content of
1215 per cent; but the low flavor was
against it, though not trace of the
acid was to be detected or found by
analysis. About the most important
! thing brought out was that butter
seems to be fully dependent upon
bacteria for true flavor rather than the
food, provided that the latter is whole
some and not of character to impart
obnoxious flavors to the milk, which,
after all, could not be called butter
flavor in any sense of the word.

how many companions he had, he was
always the Corbett of the situation"
Thus it will be seen that Ned had not
ceased to demand the respect thatiis
due him. He is still in good health,
and has preserved his teeth. In this
respect he has the advantage of other
old people. He is fed on bran and APP
pies most of the time, with such other
luxuries as the market affords. Since
Ned has retired from active life, five
years ago, he has been q conspicuous
figure at pGrades and celebrations of
all kinds, his greatest hobby being
Decoration day parades. He has never
missed but one Decoration day parade
at his home, and that was the last one
He made up for that, however, by GO

yelling of the monument commem-

In parades of all sorts Ned insists on
marching next to the music. He will
take no back seat. Marching has be-
come such a habit that he has no
trouble now in keeping time with the
music. No one can tell how he will
act on the float at Louisville. He will
probably have to beat time with his
toe. Ned is supposed to be the only
living horse that served in the war,
the last one of his comrades having
been Bill Mosby, who died last March
at ripe old age.

1862 he enlisted in a company of cav

to Nebraska and worked for the Union
Pacific railway, and remained with
the company until the golden spike
was driven and the road opened to the
coast. Then he went to Minnesota,
and later returned to the Union Pa

he changed to the Chicago, Milwaukee

May each stars brilliant glow make each

While that patriotic band, shouted for our

Sleep in peace both the blue and the gray.

lie, but of recent years he has been
pretty regular in his attendance at en-
campments. He was at Pittsburgh
last year with Post No. 81 from Erie,
Pa. The long march through the
streets was too much for him, and he
almost gave up the ghost after it was
over. Out of respect to his declining
years Ned was carried on float at
the Louisville encampment. Ned is
forty years old, according TO tradition.
His present owner, b. +. Crawford, of
North East, Pa, got possession of him
thirty-two years ago, and says Ned was
then eight years old, according to his
mouth" and that is the only way of
determining a horses age Ned did
his share of the work on Mr.. Craw-
ford's small Pennsylvania farm. Since
then his olGage and his historic record
have gained for HIM life of luxury
and ease. His life is now devoted to
eating and sleeping, both of which are
popular pursuits with old horses as
well as with old men.
Ned was captured from Gen. Jubal
Early's corps near Washington by a
union scouting party thirty-two years
ago, and was given to his present own
er to replace an animal he had loaned
and which had been shot in skir-
mish. At the close of the war Mr..
Crawford left Washington on Ned's
back. He went to Harrisburg and
there Mr.. Crawford grew tired of rid

Ned pulled from Harrisburg to North
East.

oclagon, which is after the form given
in the accompanying illustration.
Some very costly silos about here
were greatly damaged by having to
cut the cornerboards to bevel instead
of using block A cut with sufficient
curve to allow the lining to match per-
fectly with tongue and groove intact.
Where the lining is cut to bevel the
air is sure to get in and do considera-
BILE damage in a silo. The matching
can be made still more perfect by TAX
ing off, with small plane, light shaw
ing ON the inside edge at slight bevel.
These silos are constructed much the
same as other octagon structures, with
this exception, which we are satisfied
is very great improvement over those
made with corners, and can be erected
with much less cose than the round
ones, and in every way give just as
good satisfaction.
One of these silos has been furnishing
ensilage put up last fall for herd of
twelve cows, for the two past months,
and the ensilage is as good now as
when used during the winter months
and seems to be keeping the cows in
excellent milking condition.
