Facts About Cream.

Here are few facts which may
be preserved for reference: In 100
pounds of milk there should be 16
pounds of cream, from which
should be made 81 pounds of but
ter. One quart of milk weighs 2
pounds and 3 ounces, and quart
of cream containing % per cent of
fat should weigh 2 pounds and 1
ounces; half gallon of cream
should make a pound of butter.
One pound of butter fat should
make LIS pounds of butter; that
is, add Is per cent to the butter fat
to estimate the butter. Of course,
milk and cream vary, but the above
is about correct for an average.

FROM PARAL YSIS AND SIxYEARS OF CONCLUSIONS.

not determine the cause, or prescribe
remedy to aid the afflicted child.
But what q change now in that household /
for little Fannie has recently been released
from her six years of agony, which brings the
light Of happiness to the faces of the parents.
In January, this year, Mrs ;., Adams wEo
had purchased some of DIR. Williams' PIX
Pills for Pale People for her fourteen year
old daughter, determined to try their effect
upon little Fannie. After three or four
doses, she noted an improvement and she
then told the father what she had done.
He at once went to the village and bought
another box, and up to this time six boxes
have been used. The FIRST pills, Mrs. Adams
states, were given in January, the latter part,
and certainly not earlier than the fifteenth
or twentieth, and the child had her last con-
vulsion on February Sd, nearly three months
ago. Her general condition has improved in
every way, and it was not q month after the
first pills were taken when she began to walk
without assistance.
The pills were bought at the drug store
Of Dr. Shelton, in Umatilla. In answer to
the question, did he, to his personal knowi;
edge, know that the remedy had benefited
Fannie Adams, as was stated by her parents,
the doctor said that he was regular practicing
physician, and az such was 10th to recon-
mend any proprietary medicine, but still he
was ready TO do Justice to all men, and he did
know that DR.. williams Pink Pills fore Pale
People had benefited Fannie Adams, and also
volunteered the information that he knew OF
other children in the village who had been
benefited by their use.

are sold by all Dealers or will be sent post paid
on receipt Of price, 80 cents box, or six boxes
for $3.50 (they are never sold in bulk or by

For some time past the Lake Region has
been receiving reports from Umatilla, Fla,
of an almost miraculous cure that had been
effected in the case of Fannie Adams, .
daughter of A. ]. Adams, of that place, and
last Saturday q representative of this paper
made trip to Umatilla for the purpose Of
determining the authenticity of the same.
The family live q short distance from the
village, whore it was found that the people
we're cognizant of the cure which had been
effected, and were rejoicing with the family
in their new found happiness. The father,
A. j. Adams, Is q Woodworking honest
farmer from east Tennessee, and the family
came to Florida four years ago in the hope
that change Of climate would be Of benefit
to their afflicted child. Much of their earn
ings have gone for doctors bills, whose SER
vices proved unavailing. The representative
was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom he
gained the story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in
east Tennessee, and was seven years old on
the third day of February, 1897. When ten
months old she was stricken with paralysis,
which affected the entire left side. This
stroke of paralysis was followed by convul-
siOns, and from the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not a single day or night that she did
not have spasms of the most distressing
nature. Not single CONFUSION, but al
ways three or four, and sometimes as high
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care. and Mrs Adams states that for one
year she did not go into her kitchen to super
intend her household work. All the fingers
of the right hand of the little girl are en-
larged and misshapen, caused by her bit
ing them during the fearful suffering. The
case baf1ed the skill of the best physicians,
and they were frank to say that they could

Poultry Notes.

More than one-half of early ma
turity is in high feeding.
Securing eggs in Winter is large
ly the result of good management
Everything in point of plumage
and symmetry depends on the sire.
Be careful not to oyerfeed; the
hens will not lay and it invites dis
ease.
Scattering the food well is good
plan Of inducing the fowls to take
exercise.
If fowls are to be confined they
should be kept in focks Of not over
twenty-five.
To avoid roup among the fowls
have the nests high and dry and
avoid direct draughts.
The small flock pays best, be-
cause on the farm a certain amount
of food costs nothing.
Corn when fed to hen by itself
has tendency to fatten rather
than aid in egg production.
A good layer ought never to be
sacrificed so long as she can be
used for breeding purposes.
One decided advantage with the
small focks is that each individual
can be given better attention.
A pure bred cock will beget
chicks from all kinds of hens that
will resemble him in appearance.
The use of cross bred in mongrel
cocks prevents uniformity in color
and characteristics of the chicks.
The plumage should be a second
airy consideration to the real value
of the breed for practical purposes.
lar ana sulphur burned In the
poultry house once a month with
the door closed is good disinfect-
ant.
1t rarely pays to keep hen long
after two years old, unless she is
especially valuable as a breeder
and mother.
A well-fed and well-cafed for fowl
is always in prime condition, and
with little extra feeding will soon
be fit for the table.
AS cold weather comes on, see
that the inside of the poultry quar-
ters are papered and whitewashed,
and that all cracks and crevices
are closed up.

The Best Hogs to Raise.

Wheat is pretty good cash crop
this year, but it is claimed that in
the long run, taking one year with
another, the hog is the most power
full mortgage litter of anything that
the farmer can raise. There is un-
questionably money in hogs, if they
are properly fed and marketed at
the right time, which is as rule
when they are less than a year Old
Hogs carried over the second year
show a good deal heavier weight,
but not in proportion to the food
consumed, nor is the carcass as a
whole SO desirable, nor will it fetch
SO high price.
An Iowa packing house has just
issued a circular to farmers SAYING
that leaner hogs are wanted; that
Iowa hogs run too much to lard,
and that there is great demand
for nice, clean, lean bacon, espe-
cially in the foreign markets. In
support of this contention it is
shown that the Canadian bacon
hog commands a price nearly 50
per 100 pounds higher than the
American lard hog The Canadian
hog is fed largely on peas, roots,
grass, ETC., while the American hog,
especially in what are known as
the great corn States, are fed ex-
clusively on corn.

Horses for British Army.

The United States minister at
Buenos Ayres writes the Depart
ment of State that agents of the
British war Office recently have
purchased 1,40O horses for use in
the British army operating in Af-
RIGA. They will be used in the cav
airy and mounted infantry. The
horses for the former service cost
$50 United States gold, and for the
latter $26.75.

FOR THE FARMER.
The Family Cow

A correspondent writes, asking
if we could make any suggestions
as to how good butter may be made
for the use of little family of two,
where only one cow is kept. The
difficulty, of course, lies in the fact
that, with the limited amount of
milk obtained the cream stands too
long before there is churnful. 1t
is quite difficult to make good but
ter under these circumstances, when
the cream is gathered so slowly and
a part of it stands SO long. Much
of the trouble could be obviated if
ice were plenty and the tempera-
ture could be perfectly controlled,
but the results in butter are so
small that it is hardly worth while
to make arrangements of this kind
for the limited returns from a one
cow dairy. If the cream were held
at a very low temperature and thor
oughly stirred every day when new
cream vas added, and the churn-
ing then ripened evenly for say
twenty-four hours before churning
at a. temperature of so or 65 de.
grees, much of the trouble of slow
gathering might be obviated. I'm
less, however, one were running a
refrigerator for other purposes that
would not contaminate the cream,
it would hardly pay to take this
trouble. One lady whom we know
gets around the difficulty by churn-
ing every day, or every other day.
She has a Mason fruit jar rugged
MP as a churn so that it runs al
most without any exertion OF
strength, and while the amount of
butter she gets at each churning is
but small, She gets pretty much all
OF it, and it is as good as if she ran
a dairy of twenty cows, because she
has not the difficulties attending
the slow gathering of the cream to
contend with. -Homestead.

Texas and western ranchmen are
paying 800 for sucking Hereford
calves, while farmers on high-priced
lands of Illinois think they cannot
afford to pay 800, when they can
buy grades at half the price. The
pure bred bull will produce calves
worth $40 more at maturity than
those sired by the grade bull; then
the profit on 100 calves at SO is
$1,000. The calves sired by the
pure-bred bull mature earlier, grow
faster and larger, and sell at a
higher price per pound, and $40 is
low estimate of increased value.

Spreading Manure.

The handling and spreading of
the manure that has accumulated
can be done in a manner that will
give the best results If it is well de-
composed, but to attempt to load
and distribute mass of coarse rub
bish is a loss of time and labor.
1t may appear useless to reduce all
long food with the shredder or cut
ter, allowing the waste to decom-
pose in the manure heap, but that
will depend largely on the manage
ment of the heap. Where the saw
ing of labor is most important with
manure is in hauling and distrib-
uting it on the fields. The finer its
condition the better the work can
be done, and the more evenly the
field will be covered.
