West, and the end is not yet. Nor will
this generation see the end of the evils
resulting from that stupendous folly,
and it is doubtful if we ever reach it's
end.
One of the demands upon which all
seem to be united is the asking OF Con-
gress tariff which will be a real pro-
lection to the farmers. We do not see
how reasonable objection can be made
to this, but we all know how little of
reason there is in the course of the
democratic legislators. " is barely pos
sible that tho have learned something,
but it seems too much to expect it.
Nevertheless it is 10 be hoped there
are enough real friends of the farmer
in the wly-elected Congress, or will
be when all the Senators are chosen,
to enact such laws as the farmers need.
AT the same time it is not be for any
New Eugland farmer to expect much
b, lp from the w.makers. The farm.
ers want better prices ard prices are
vastly better, especi lily for those pro-
ducts which have left the farmers
hands. But there is good prospect
that prices on all kinds of farm pre-
duce will rule higher in the future.
The great danger is that other things,
those which the farmer has to buy, will
rise faster than his products 80 that he
W II be no better off in the end than he

Wood as a Farm Product.

Many farmers get quite an addition
to their income by cutting and selling
stove wood. Prices vary with the local
ity from 81 % TO 50 per cord of wood,
sixteen inches long. To bring this
price the wood must be birch or maple,
body wood, and must be delivered.
This kind of work can be done when
other work does not press, and when
the teams are idle. But it is hard work
at the best, though the modern meth
DDS are much more labor saving than
the older ones. The usual way is to
fell the trees in the fall and early win
ter before the snow comes. The trees
are cut up in lengths, convenient to roll
and load, and are drawn to the skids
and piled on them to await the coming
OF the snow. AS soon as enough sno "
falls, the logs are drawn to point near
the buildings usually, and sawed into
sixteen.inch blocks which are split and
piled ready for drawing. Sometimes
the sawing-machine is taken into the
woods, and the piles sawed there. In
places where the wood does not have
to be drawn too far to market, and
where the price is not less than 81 so,
cutting wood pays well, but when the
price drops below this, we doubt
whether 1t pays. Still it may be better
to sell wood for S1.25 than to be earning
nothing.

AGRICULTURAL.


This is a word which has been coined
to name a solution prepared by the
chemist of the Wisconsin Experiment
Station to render pasteurzod milk and
cream more acceptable to consumers.
1t is pretty we'll known that the heating
of milk 10 about 156 degrees and then
Immediately cooling it, destroys both
the germs of disease and those bacteria
which cause the souring and decay of
the milk and cream. AT the same time
this treatment does not impart. the
uni leasant taste of boiled milk TO the
product. The use of pasteurization is
rapit ly incrt asing, but has met very
serious obstacle. The cream is thin
and the milk much thinner than people
like. In fact, the icc-cream makers
and Il who use whipped cream, COM
plain much of the pasteurized product.
1t is evident that if way can be found
to preserve the thickness or viscosity of
the cream, ills use will continue TO in
crease, as there can be no doubt of the
greatly healthfulness of the
pasteurized milk and cream. To I've
this problem has been the study of DIR.
Babcock (of Babcock test fame) and his
assistants, and now in bulletin of the
Wisconsin station, description of the
results of their Investigations is given.
Viscogen is madel by dissolving two
and one-half parts by weight of good
quality of cane sugar in five parts of
water, and gradually shaking one part
of quicklime in three parts of water.
The milk of lime is strained through
wire strainer to remove coarse I'M
slaked particles, and then it is added
to the sugar solution. The mixture
needs to be stirred frequently for two
or three hours, and then allowed to set
tie 80 that the fluid can be poured off.
Only about one part of viscogen to one
hundred and fifty of cream should be
used. Great care is needed in adding
it to the cream, as little too much will
render the cream alkaline. 1t is need
full that the cream be cooled to a point
below sixty degrees before adding the
viscogen.
There can be no objections to the use
of this preparation on sanitary grounds,
as there can be nothing harmful either
in the sugar or the very small amount
of lime used. Physicians often pre-
scribe lime water to be added to milk
for infants and invalids. The use of
pasteurized milk and cream should be
encouraged in every way. The process
is simple one, but when done on
large scale requires special apparatus.
One of the most simple forms of pas
teurizers is made of thin sheet of
metal, which is heated by steam or hot
water to $50 degrees Fahi enheit. The
milk is allowed to slowly flow over this
and then to Immediately flow over
another sheet of metal which is cooled
down to forty or fifty degrees. This
simple process destroys the harmful
power of I'll germs in The milk, and also
greatly prolongs its time of keeping
sweet,

Dear Sirs: We have been using
Kow-Kure and can heartily recon-
mend it to dairymen for cows out of
condition and as general regulator.
One of our cows had been securing
badly and was SO weak she could
hardly walk. Kow-Kure has brought
her around in good shape. Another
COW has large bunch in her udder.
We have been giving her the medicine
but two days and notice that the
bunch is growing less. We think
Kow-Kure is all you claim for it.
Our cows are in much better shape
since we commenced using it.

He may Improve with hot weather, but he

THE TWO ERRORS WERE COSTLY.
A little theoriZing may not be amiss
here. Had Cartwright and DeMontreville
not made their errors the score would
have stood 8 TO at the beginning of the
third inning. and with the Senators hold
ing such lead the game would have been
considered all but hopeless by Capt. Ewing
and ne would have kept Fisher in the box.
But by tie two errors the Reds pulled
ahead with seven runs. nd with this
more than equal chance Ewing suhsti-
tuted Dwyer, who was well nigh invin-

Umpires Sheridan and Hurst had a hard
time with the Senators, especially Sher-

The game was a wrangle all the way
through, Maui, complaining bitterly OF
the decisions on balls and strikes. Maui
