Looks After the swIII.

Mrs. j. W. Wheeler, of Massachu-
setts, writes; Swill pals are a nui-
sance in hot weather, for they attract
flies. Every farmer may avoid these
swarming pests by having a small
place screened off, large enough for
the pals and barrel for standing while
mixing. Have this little room quite o
distance from the kitchen, at. the
farthest end of the buildingsif they be
attached, and provide good ventilation
by screened window opposite the
door, which should also be screened.
Another help is to scour and scald the
pals every few days during the hot
test weather. It takes but few min
utes with a strong bristle brush; a
handful of soap and plenty of hot
waters fanF-re germ hides in the

is little or no danger of oversalting,
and the other is that the risk of over
working is largely avoided. Rather
more salt will be needed by brine salt
ing than by dry sailing. Use quite
strong brine and let the 6utstergse5s
main ii the brine for some time, half
ar hour at least. No more salt will
enter the globules of butter than is
needed and the overplus can be readi-
ly. drained off. Very little working is
needed; in fact, only the amount nee
essary to work into proper shape to
send to market will be necessary, and
this avoids the necessity or risk of
working tho butter into a salty con-
dition in order to get the salt distri-
buted through the butter evenly. By
this plan there will be no streaks to
work out, time and labor is saved in
handling and getting the butter ready
for market, while there is little or no
risk of the grain of the butter being
ruined. A good per cent of butter
sent to market is seriously injured by
too much working, first to get the but
termilk out and to get the salt in.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of au era of wonderful social and industrial de yelopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small im- pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken. ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and thea down, the clouds of despondeney have suddenly rolled away, and sunburst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater aud braver endeaver tban b,lfore.

Wbitc;aw Reid. owror and editor cf the New Yori: Tribune, who has speat the last two winters in A1.zona for the beDeti5 Of his health, writes entertainingly and in structiVely concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zopa as a place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost 6 public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER,
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona iii winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time ur other during the day. Of coarse there were good many days " hich a weather observer N woald de- scribe as "cloudy," and some thLt VI ere ''sho-yery; but during these five months (from No' ember. 1895, to May, lS95.D here were only four days when We did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day.

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government closer vationa, is but 8 I1a inches per year.

The new Austrian house of repre-
sentatives contains 425 members, al
vided into no less than eighteen dis
tinct factions. The Germans control
seventeen provinces, and have been
strong enough to obstruct legislation
of all kinds, even to the renewal of
the constitutional union between
Hungary and Austria proper. For
years the anti-German sentiment has
been growing. The attack of the Slav

hemian and Czech have stood side by

Rest and Relief.

and overworked will become cranky,
creaky and out of gear, owing to some
expansion of metal from heat and fric-
ton. Stop its work, rub and brighten

be restored and will run smoothly. The
human system is machine. Too much
work and worry are thrown upon it;
too much of the heat of daily cares; too
much of the steam of daily business.
The nerves become cranky they are
restless sleepless and twitchy. and a
neuralgia condition sets In. Pain
throws the machine out of gear and 1t
needs rest and treatment to strengthen
and restore. St Jacobs Oil Is the one
remedy of all, peculiarly adapted to a
prompt and sure cure. SO many have
so freely testified from experience and
use to its efficacy in the cure of neural

surprise to many after the free use Of 1t

agriculturists in that state. 1t is now
almost thirteen years since she under
took to manage Winthrop Gardens, as
her place is called. and, while she still
retains active supervision of it, her
hardest work has been done She has
money now with which to travel and
enjoy herself, and she has so systemat-
lied the business that she can absent
herself and know that everything will
go we'll while she is away. She had
been her fathers right hand for some
years in his struggles against rocks
and weeds, which We're the principal
paying $3.50 for the whole sixty-eight
acres. When he died suddenly she
left the little schoolhouse where she
was teaching and assumed the entire
management Of the place. Her broth
ers had left, one to become a lawyer
and the other a physician in distant
cities. She bought out their interest,
and, contrary to the advice of all
friends and relatives, undertook to be
a practical farmer. Miss Cutler was
not afraid of failing, but she took no
risks. At first she raised only those
things that had already been grown
with success upon the farm and she re-
tanned as her superintendent a man
who had been employed by h,r father
for number of years. Affairs turned
out well. The woman farmer familiar
lied herself with every bit Of the land

ties. She practically directed the men

sary and she was equally active and
alert on the road and in the markets

Germans in the Austrian capital, the
very center of the German sentiment
Three Poles are members of his
cabinet, and official stations are now
being filled with Slavs.
A scene in the Austrian parliament
is typical of the cosmopolitan charac-
ter of the empire. The benches are
arranged in semi-circles between the
marble caryatides with the Slavs to
the right, the Catholic Germans in the
center, and the Germans to the left.
Near them at the extreme left are the
radical socialists and the so-called
Christian socialists. But the bizarre
eff ct is to the right, where the young
Czech sits in his national costume
the striking feature Of which is the
tight fitting chimarre, adopted as a
national emblem in 1S4S. The Poles
from Galicia are attired in their long
coats and give their section a rather
rural aspect All the languages of
this great country, infinite in their
dialect variations, are heard in the
great hall, and to the American on
locker it seems a veritable Babel. The
Czech will rise in his seat and begin
his speech in his native tongue. The
Germans are in an uproar. The pre-
siding officer, Tyrolean German, re-
fuses to allow the official stenographer
to take the speech and the typical
Austrian parliamentary struggle is in
progress. That it has not ended in an
open fight and bloodshed on the floor
of the House borders on the miracul-
GUS Still, duels have been number
less, and the courts are busy adjusting
the struggle between Young Czech and
German throughout the land.

The most surprising feature about

not the figures absolutely beyond re-

probably loudly protest against their
fidelity-is that the aggrieved party in
these matrimonial suits proves on
about three occasions out of five to
have been the husband. Only 220
wives found occasion to petition the
court for release from the bonds of
matrimony, the same application hav-
ing been made by 1853 husbands The
occupations of those who passed
through the divorce court seem also
worthy of note. Clerks, curiously
