kct. yet we have known some who were
careless in this respect, and sent n
really fine article away wrapped in anv
odds and ends of muslin that came to
hand. We have even known butter to
be sent to "stores" wrapped in pocket
handkerchiefs, and the lady who so ap-
parelled it thought she was doing the
genteel thing, too. In these DAYS of
cteapness there is no excuse for any
housekeeper, no difference how limited
her circumstances may be, not provid-
ing herself with at least two or three
napkins or towels of linen, which should
be set apart for butter alone, and not
be made to do duty as bib for baby,
or to polish table ware. If no better
can really be afforded, rather than de-
pend upon fragments" of apparel, save
the sacks of thin muslin that dairy salt
is sold in; rip apart, hem, laundry nice
ly, and after wetting in brine, wrap one
around each roll. Never wrap butter in
paper, unless parchment paper is used.
If your butter is to be sent to a dis
tant market, use wooden buckets or
tubs, which should be soaked in brine
before the butter is packed in them.
II you desire to pack your butter and
await a rise in the market use stone
jars. Have them perfectly clean, sweet
and cold; sprinkle salt lightly in the
bottom AUD on the sides. Be sure that
all buttermilk is worked out. Place the
butter in the jar, and with the wooden
potato masher, previously scalded and
rinsed afterward, press evenly and firm
ly; have cloth IAN inch larger in cir.
conference than the jar) wrung out
of cold water, lay it over the butter and
press out all the air, cover with an inch
of salt, spread evenly, and press the
cloth close to the side Of the jar. When
the next lot is ready to pack, take off
the cloth, salt and all, and lay it in n
dish to be used again. The cloth and
salt are to exclude the air. Proceed
in the same manner as before until
the jar is within an inch of being full;
then cut a cloth that will just cover
the butter, press so as to exclude all
air bubbles, then cover with brine,
strong as can be made. It does not mat
ter if it be thickened with salt. Tie
up with another cloth, three or four
thicknesses, and cover all with plate
or wooden cover. When wanted to use,
remove salt and brine; rinse, and work
out into rolls Butter so prepared will
keep almost indefinitely and preserve
it's favor.-Mrs. A. C. Mcpherson, in

AProntable Enterprise.

The Dairy World says: There is no
installing the fact that ice cream max
ing either in a creamery or on farm
is most profitable enterprise. We
have pointed out several instances OF
this character in the past, and now we
again show elsewhere in this issue
how a Connecticut farmer has been
coming money, so to speak, by trans
forming the cream of his large dairy
into delicious and eagerly sought com.
mercial product. If creamery men do
not utilize such opportunities it is to
their own loss.

Mr.. J. Il. Halls, 1ne Of the greatest
peach 2Tcwci:; in the United States, in
speaking Of tie inner in which he
makes a success If TIC business, is re-
ported as saying "a. one must thin by
hard. e puts stepladllers under the
trees ard puts boys On them whose
bump Of destruct:y2ness is large and
tells t.cnl TO so ahead. He begins when
tne peaches are three-quarters of an
inch in diameter aud takes everything
that is curculio-stung and diseased.
These he carts away and burns The
rest That are taken off are dropped on
the ground and left there.
In future, he says, three or four-year-
nld peach trees shall not bear over $50
peaches; four or five-year-old trees not
over 300, and fuli-grown trees not over
500. That means six inches apart; 500
peaches on a tree will make six or eight
baskets of fancy fruit. Three thousand
peaches to n tree won't make more or
sell for more money, and the trees are
ruined.
Peach trees are planted on good or
binary corn or wheat land in fair state
of fertility. The holes for the trees are
dug about twice as large as necessary to
receive the roots and big handful of
fine ground bone is scattered at the bot
tom of the hole and two or three more
on the dirt, and that is worked in
around the roots at the time the tree
is planted. Then is put on muriate of
potash. The next year is broadcasted
from 1000 to $500 pounds per acre of
fine ground bone and from 400 to 500
pounds of muriate of potash or it's
equivalent, and this is, kept up every
year whether the trees bear or not.
SIT is pretty liberal feeding, but it pays
to be liberal with trees" says Mr.. Hale.

keeps the pigs very free from feverish

rhinning Out Garden Crops.

Few practices are more profitable
than thinning out garden crops. If the
knowledge of the proper sowing OF
seeds was more widely prevalent no
thinning would be needed, but SO many
persons SOW the seeds fearing that
numbers will fail to grow, and there
fore many more seeds are used than is
necessary. But sometimes all these
superfuous seeds grow, in which case
IL is desirable that they should be
thinned. Not only do the vegetable
plants grow larger under these circum-
stances, but in many cases they come
earlier into use.-Rural World.

Bicyclists Should Tax Themselves WILL
ingly to Inaugurate 1t.
That the good roads, plank sug-
gested by the League of American
Wheelmen was not incorporated in the
ST. Louis platform was not due to any
lack of interest in the good roads move
ment. 1t is not probable that plank
of this kind will be incorporated in the
platform adopted at any national con-
Vention.
A more direct way to accomplish
practical work in this direction is to go
before the various state legislatures
with carefully matured plans for in
shutting a system of road building that
will commend itself to the country law
makers and secure favorable action.
A tax of one dollar per year upon
each wheel would yield nearly 100000
in Chicago alone and would be opposed
by very few wheelmen if it were applied
directly to roadmAking. This is merely
one of the numerous plans suggested
for inaugurating the movement in Hi
nois. A dollar wheel would build
more highways than 1000 good roads
planlls in national platforms.-Chicago

A bulletin from the Indiana expert.
ment station says: The currant worm,
OF, more properly, the gooseberry saw
fly, was introduced into this country
from Europe about the year 1857, COM
ing, as did the imported cabbage but
terfly, by way of Canada. 1t is prob
able, however, that it was landed at
other points along our eastern coast
Like most of our imported insects, it
spread very rapidly, until now it COW
crs the greater portion of the United
States.
This fly belongs to the order Hy-
menoptera, which includes the bees,
wasps and ants. 1t is known to en-
tomologists as a kind of connecting
Lepidoptera, to which belong the moths
and butterflies. The adults make their
appearance soon after the leaves Of
the currant and gooseberry bushes
come forth. The female lays her eggs
along the principal veins on the under
side of the leaf. These hatch in about
ten days, and the young larvae may be
detected by the minute holes which
they have eaten through the leaves.
AS they approach maturity they be-
come ravenous eaters. soon stripping
the bushes OF their foliage. They then
seek for secluded place i'll which to
pupate, and in about four or five weeks
the second brood makes its appearance
and the same process is gone through
as before.

Henry Barnick, Butter-malxer at Rich

Our neighboring village of Redwood
was the scene of another fatality last
Friday afternoon, Henry Barnick, son
of Postmaster Edward Barnick, meet
ing death while engaged at his duties
in the Posey creamery. AT about 4:3O
O'Clock the unfortunate young man was
found by his sister in al. unconscious
condition suspended from the shafting,
near which he had been working Life
was nearly extinct. How long he had
been in this position is matter of con-
lecture. Medical attendance from this
city was at once summoned. DR.. Hoer-
mann responding, but before he could
arrive the young life had taken its
flight to the other world.
It appears that the sad affair hap
pened in this wise. Young Barnick,
who was the butter max er in the Posey
creamery, owned by his father, had
just previous to the accident finished
sewing belt, using step-ladder to
reach 1T. He must have been in the
act Of adjusting the belt, when in some
manner his clothing became caught in
the shafting and he was unable TO ex
tricate himself, although using frantic
efforts to do so. His weight tended to
revolve the wheels and his clothing
was at length drawn so tightly about
nis neck that be was virtually strangled
to death.
The victim Of this peculiar and dis
tressing catastrophe was a youngest
son, II years of age He had but re-
Gently taken charge of the creamery,
which his father purchased this spring

general merchandise store. Henry
learned his trade from Solon Bros. the
past year in his spare hours and had
just finished attending school. He was
bright, industrious and possessed of
many excellent traits that promised
we'll for his future. A large circle of
acquaintances sincerely regret his un-
timely death and sympathize with the
aggrieved relatives. His funeral, held
Sunday afternoon, was very largely
