MILK AND CREAM.
The Dangers That Arise From Using an
Impure Article.

Probably no article of human consuynp
ton is more impure than much of the
product of the dairy. First many Of the
cows which supply the market with
milk, cream, butter and cheese are un-
healthy, and some of them affected with
tuberculosis which rendersstheir milk not
only loathsome but dangerous AS u.s.
ually conducted the process of milking Is
not properly performed; the udders not
washed; the hands of the mixer are
filthy, and as the cows are not properly
groomed animaloulae of various species,
many of them dangerous to health, fall
from the bodies of the COWS into the dairy
pail, rendering it really unfit for use.
The only proper way to conduct dairy
is to have perfectly healthy COWS, care
fully examined periodically by the cattle
commissionerssor board of health; to feed
them clean and nutritious food in
abundanos; to have them washed and
groomed; to.have:a clean cloth placed
around their bodies before milking to
keep PARTICLES of dust or insects from
falling from them and to have their I'D
ders washed with disinfeoting soap az
well as the hands of the mixers who
should, before milking put on clean
frock. If the cream is to be removed
from the milk it should be taken In
stantly to tho separator. and as soon as
separated put into glass bottles and
Theoretically sealed, after which it should
be placed in Toe until shipped to market
In this way absolutely puresscream oan.be
obtained, and by no other. The Port
land Board of Health recently visited
Mackworbh Farm and witnessed the pro-
CESS Of milking the famous herd of St.
lambert Jerseys kept there, which is de-
soribed above. These COWS have certifi-
cate of perfect health signed by DR..
Bailey. and are fed and cared for In the
most approved manner. OF course milk
and cream from such dairy cost more
than the unhealthy stuff so often sold in
the market, but II it costs twice or
thrice as much, 1t would .be cheaper in
the end. The cream from Mackworth
Farm is shipped daily to Portland and
is distributed perfectly fresh to oonsum-
ers by Geo. @. Shaw Co.

Gala Day at Peaks Island.

The stormy day last Saturday caused
the postponement of the regatta that had
been arranged for that date by the Casco
Bay Steamboat Co. The result is that
the splendid traces for valuable prizes will

gamer by the postponment as there will
be two days attractions crowded into
one. There have been several new en-
tries for the different races. A new race

A BRYAN AND sEWALL CLUB.
Organized at the Young Me ms Democratic
Club Rooms-They Listen to Several
Speeches.

At the rooms of the Y Dung Mems
Democratic club last evening there as
sembled about $50 young men who organ
lied Bryan and SewaH club. The
meeting was called to order by W. FL.
jeffrey, the vice president. Edmund j.
Young, chairman of the committee on
bylaws and constitution, offered report
from the committee. The bylaws pro-
vided for the organization of ths club u
meeting of which is to be held twice a
week from now until the Presidential
election, and no dues are to be required
from the member. Mr.. Llawellyn Bar
ton was introduced Us the chairman Of
he in turn introduced Mr.. H. H. Eddy
of Colorado, who delivered brief
speech. He said that this was the first
time he had ever addressed Dem ocratio
assembly, as he had always been Re-
publican. He said he firmly believed in
the free coinage of silver, not because
he hailed from Colorado, but because he
believed free silver would benefit tho
whole country. He said that it was q
mistaken idea that it cost less to
mine silver than it does to mine gold.
Mr.. Eddy claimed that it costs much
more to mine silver than it docs to mine
gold and half of the silver mines In
America are almost worthless. The
speaker then proceeded to expatiate upon
the benefits to be derived from free
coinage of silver.
Mr. S.W. Belford of Colorado, son of
the ex-Congressman from that state
was then introduced and proceeded to
deliver spread eagle speech.
The burden of his remarks seemed to
be that human liberty has been trampled
underfoot by the Republican party,
and to deprive this country of the free
| coinage Of silver will be to take away
from Americans their rights and our
| tail their liberty. He said that wave
of Indignation against the Republican
party. headed by Bryan and Sewall Is
now sweeping this country from Cali
| fornia to Maine, and 1t rivals in inten-
| sity the anti-slayery wave of 40 years
ago. In closing the speaker said that
in his opinion the free coinage of silver
will place the United States of America
in the foremost rank of nations, the
place she is intended to occupy by the
Eternal Father.
Mr.. Belford's remarks were received
with great enth usiasm. AS the meeting
was about to adjourn some one called
for speech from Mr.. John NJ. Todd
who took the floor and Grated for half
an hour on the Populist ideh Of silver.
Mr.. Todd was frequently interrupted by
applause and laughter and at the close
of his speech was given quite an ovation.
The meeting then adjourned.

potato, these branches will be cut off,
and the strength of the eye diminished
more or less. The proper way to cut
the tubers for seed is to cut them
crosswise of the tuber, as indicated by
the dotted lines, beginning with the
one near the stem-cnd, and going
around with the spiral produced by the
eyes. This will leave the eye and its con-
nection whole from the surface to CEN
ter of the tuber, and it will be in the
best condition to germinate and grow.
1t is not settled yet whether it is best
to plant the tip or the seed end, or not.
In practice do not do it, as there are
so many eyes together there that they
interfere with each other, and, except
with new and very highly priced
seed, clip the seed end squarely off
and throw it away.
The usual method of planting pota-
toes is to cover three or four inches deep
with soil, and plant in drills. This is
probably the best way where the land
is infested with weeds, but / am con-
,inced that larger crops can be grown
by mulchipg the surface with straw,
where there will not be too many weeds
to contend with. One man in Illir ois
made a great success by using st,aw
only as covering, putting on enough
to keep it from drying out at any lime
during the season.
have tried this plan, with vary ing
success, but better way with me has
been to prepare the ground in the best
possible manner, and plant the potatoes
as usual In few days a light harrow
is run over the land, and this is re-
peated about the time the potatoes are
ready to come through the ground.
After this the mulch of straw is put on,
and the only after-work is to pull ort
the weeds that come through; srIall
task if the land has had proper cul-
tivation during previous years. One
of the best and largest crops ever grew
was grown by this method.
In whatever manner potatoes are
planted, they must have thorough cul"
tivation, deep for the early part of the
season, and shallow after the roots be-
gin to run across the rows, for there
is not y crop that is injured more by
having the roots torn off by cultivation
than a crop of potatoes. Unless the
roots have plenty of room and plenty
of food the crop cannot be Il good one.
This is one point where most people
sin. They do not stop to think that
the potato-plant has naturally long
roots, and needs to be cultivated ac-
cordingly. If this were attended to,
the crop of the country would be enor-
mously increased, with not cent more
of cost attached to it.-Farm and Fire
