At the n. E. church, Sunday morning
and evening, two interesting sermons
were delivered by Rev. David Tatum, of
Denver, Colo. Mr.. Tatum is a Quaker,
and is member of the society Of Friends.
He is under the auspices of the W. c. T.
u, and is making temperance lectures
in Kansas. Mr.. Tatum is "a years Of
age, but he speaks with vigor and Is en-
tertaining. His morning address was q
sermon, and contained some incidents Of
life that aroused the sympathy and emo
ton of many of his bearers. His even
ing discourse was temperance lecture,
but he aroused the temperance sentiments
of all who heard him. Mr.. Tatum said
the young ,geople and old people were
not protected against the crime and curse
of alcohol, but our Legislators made laws
to protect everything, even a dog. Re-
ferring to the prohibitory law he said
that the argument that it was not strictly
enforced was not good. The law against
horse stealing might be repealed with the
same propriety, as that law did not pre-
vent horse stealing. A crowded house
listened to the venerable speaker and
every one was highly pleased with the
lecture.

Last week an item in relation to aban.
doned creameries, crept into this paper
without explanation. 1t was from the
Meade Globe, and referred to the idle
and abandoned creameries in Iowa and
Minnesota. The explanation to this il
found in the s.creamery craze" that swept
over Iowa and Minnesota, q few. years
ago. In one locality there are nine
creameries within radious of that many
miles. Too many creameries were built,
and some of them are lying idle. The

Potash bordeaux.

Potash bordeaux is the name of the
new combination from the New Jersey
experiment station with which fungous
diseases may be battled with This is
simply the bordeaux mixture, with
oaustic potash used instead of lime.
The formula is; Copper sulphate, 8
pounds; caustic potash, 8 pounds; wa
ter, 80 gallons In calling attention to
this combination the Philadelphia Led
ger explains that there are two grades
of the potash, representing two prices.
The one may he obtained in bulk, the
other comes i'll pound cans. To dissolve
either, put into a kettle Of hot water.
As the potash varies in strength, red
litmus paper may be used for detecting
an excess. If the color remains un-
changed, add potash until a slight tinge
of blue is pereeptible, II the paper
turns blue, add more copper sulphate.
The results of the experiments show the
potash bordeaux to be of about equal
value with the lime bordeaux, the only
gain being apparently the added value
of the potash as IA fertilizer and the less

Advantages of Living Pets.

A writer in an Eastern paper takes the
position that a living pet is a good
teacher for a child, Whether the little
creature he loves be dog, cat, bird or
rabbit. the dependence OF the tiny life
upon him for food, shelter and care will put
many lesson into his heart and mind
which could get there b. no surer or
better method. But the child who IS al
lowed to keep pet should be impressed
with the responsibility he assumes in
taking the charge. He should under
stand that no neglect of his little depend
ent's comfort will be allowed. When the
attention he should have becomes irksome
and he has TO be forced 10 the duty of
waiting upon his pet, it is better to get
rid of the dog or bird altogether than to
allow its little owner TO forget TO give It
meals or water or to arrange for its clean
illness at the proper time. II IS better,
not only for the animals comfort, but for
the chlds hest good. Only too often a
child begs for an animal playmate, caress
es it, and overoads it with attention for a
few days, and then regards il as nui.
sance, and expects some one else 10 do
the necessary waiting he had tired of.
Then the pet would fare badly if some
body else were not more pitiful and watch
full than its little master. To pretend to
love creature. animal or human, and
then slight it and refuse to take a little
trouble for its sake, is not the way to get
the most benefit from its companonsh hip.
Such carelessness and cruel neglect of a
responsibility voluntarily assumed should
never be permitted to 90 unchecked in
children. There are already too many
Irresponsible members IN society. Do
not let US add our children 10 the list,
even in trifes.

To RemoYe STATING.

In the Pratt Institutes "waitress
course the following directions we're
given for removing stains from linen
For fresh tea and coffee stains, use
boiling water. Place the linen stained
over large bowl and pour through it
boiling water from The teakettle, held at
hight to ensure force.
Old tea and coffee STAINS which have
become set should he soaked in cold
water first, then boiling.
For chocolate stains use cold water
first, then boiling.
Fruit stains viii usually yield 10 boil
ing water, if not oxaiC acid may be used,
allowing ounces OF the crystal to one
pint OF water. Vet the stain with the
solution, place over kettle of hot water
in the steam or N the sunshine. The
instant the stain disappears rinse we'll (;
wet the stain with ammonia to CounteraCt
the acid remaining Then rinse thorough
ly again This will many times save the
linen, which is apt to he injured by the
oxalic acid. Javele water is most excel
lent for almost any white goods 1t can
be made at home or bought at any drug
gest's. For wine stains sprinkle well
with salt moisten with boiling water, and
then pour boiling water through until the
stain disappears. For blood stains. use
cold water first, then soap and water
Hot water sets the stain.
For scorch. hang or spread the article
in the sunshine.
For mldew, lemon Juice and sunshine,
or if obstinate, dissolve one tablespoonful
of chloride of lime in four quarts cold
water, and soak the article until mildew
disappears. Rinse very thoroughly to
avoid any chemical action upon the linen
For peach stains, weak solution Of
chloride of lime combined with infinite
patience. Long soaking is an essential
Grass stains may be removed by cream

TIE OLD Plan.

factory results After the onion plants
get some size he throws some soil
against them from both sides with a
Planet, Jr, or similar wheel hoe, strad-
ding the row. He does this while the
weeds in the rows are yet small enough
that they can be choked out by he
soil covering. A row of onions thus
hilled is shown in Fig. Q. The Michigan
farmer claims that much labor in weed
ing is saved by this plan, and the
onions do Just as well as if left exposed
above the ground. If we can hill with
wheel hoe, and thus kill the weeds, it
is surely quicker way than to go over
the rows, scraping the soil away from
the plants with hand weeder. The
opinion is expressed that it will not
make much difference in the growth Of
the onion whether we scrape the soil
away or pile it up against the plants.
A writer in the journal already
quoted says ON the subject of watering:
~ have been puzzled why some of my
onion plants did not do well when they
had the advantage of the best and rich
est soil 1t now seems to me that the
trouble was chiefly one Of lack Of wa
ter. Some of these plants need more
water than is frequently given them,
and in many cases the soil underneath
the surface is allowed to become dust
dry. We apply water from overhead,
and the surface may appear quite wet
