The Creamery a Burden LIfter.

l am aware that the creamery is be-
Ing discussed on every hand, but per-
haps my little mite may not come
amiss, for it is with this as with every
other new enterprise. Nothing can be

ties that are SO fortunate as to possess
creamery are indeed to be congratu-
lated, but II seems to me that 1t is
farmers wives and daughters to whom
the most benefit comes. For, verify,
the creamery is a great burden litter
to them. Our creamery is but one year
old and at present has over 80 patrons,
who furnish from 10000 to $4,000
pounds OF milk daily. This represents
an immense amount of work IL cared
for at home, and without the aid Of
steam and machinery. And It is upon
the "wimin folks" that this labor de-
wolves. Taking 10000 pounds Of milk
to ninety patrons gives on an average
III pounds to each, which in the mere
lifting alone represents a heavy load.
Each III pounds must be handled twice.

ton:
Descriptive.-This popular and valu-
able vegetable needs but very little de-
scription. 1t Is a native Of Europe,
where 1t may be found growing wild
along the borders of sea marshes. Ger
tain species are grown as ornamental
plants. The undeveloped stem is the
part used as food.
Culture.-Propagated by means Of
seed. The seed may be bought Of seed
dealers or taken from the small red
berries found in autumn upon the
mature stems of old plants. If the
latter method is adopted proceed in the
following manner: Select the largest
and incest branches; pick of the ber-
ries and gently mash; wash out the
pulp with water and dry the seed.
Sow the seed in early spring in rows
wide enough to permit cultivation.
Plants should stand about to inches
apart. Select a rather rich soil for the
seed bed. The young plants may be
transplanted in the permanent bed the
following spring, or the transplanting
may be deferred until the second
spring. Too much care can not be
given to the preparation Of the per-
manent bed. Select an open situation
where plenty of sunshine falls. Natur-
ally, the plant prefers damp situa-
ton, but can be made to thrive very
well on dry soil, If proper cultivation
is given. The soil should be rich. Sub
soil or trench the bed, adding large
quantities Of manure well rotted COW
dung is preferred). If the plantation
is large the rows should be at least 2
feet apart. Put the plants IL inches
apart. The roots Of the plant must be
spread out equally in all directions.
This is best attained by constructing a
small mound of earth in the center
Of the hole, place the plant upon the
top Of the mound and let the roots
extend down the sides. Cover with
earth and firm with the foot. The
crown Of the plant should be two
inches under ground. During the grow
ing season cultivate and keep down
all weeds. At end of season cut of
the tops and cover the bed with coarse
manure. Remove the litter in early
spring. Cut the young shoots at the
surface of the ground using a strong
bladed knife.

the stack or the shock? There is
a good deal to be said on both sides,
and, after all, the question is one that
must be determined by circumstances.
II the grain can be cut in good time.
we'll shocked, the weather settled, and
the machine and help available when
wanted, we believe 1t is best to thrash
direct from the shock. This, however,
occurs only once in o while. The
weather east of the Missouri cannot be
depended upon, neither can thrashing
machines nor help at this season Of the
year. Even when help can be obtained
1t is higher priced than later. The
farmers by stacking their grain and
letting 1t go through the sweat can
change work and get through with very
little outside labor. The probability is
that the wheat will be put in the mar
ket in better condition and bring as
good or better price. Forty years ago
the man who was near the mill had
an early variety of grain, and thrashed
from the shock in nine cases out OF
ten got a better market than If he
stacked and thrashed later. The price
of wheat now is not determined by the
local mill. but by the general market,
and this again is determined not by the
supply in the county or state. or even
the United States, but by the markets
Of the world. Before any Iowa farmer
can thrash his grain now, grain will
be pouring in from Texas, Kentucky,
Kansas and Missouri: in fact it is be-
ginning to come into market already.
Our conclusion, therefore, is that ex-
cept in exceptional circumstances it is
best to stack and begin thrashing as
soon as the grain is in the right con-
dition.

These small heads are termed
Sprouts" The vegetable originated
in Belgium and has been cultivated ex-
tensively around Brussels since the
thirteenth century. Requires the same
treatment as cabbage. Soil must be
rich. Requires considerable moisture.
The small sprouts must grow rapidly
or they will be tough. Sow seed in hot
bed and transplant. or scatter seed in
hills and thin. Plants must have
plenty of room. Rows should be thir-
ty inches apart and the plants not
closer than two feet. Ordinary culture
will suffice. Some authorities advise
that the sprouts should be frosted be-
fore using. Our experience is that 1t
causes a bitter taste. Sprouts half
inch in diameter are said to be much
more palatable than the large ones.
The top leaves are sometimes used as
greens. The aphis gives considerable
trouble. The best treatment is a thor

TrellIslng Tomatoes.

When we grow tomatoes for market
at ordinary prices we must economize
in cost of production in every way
possible, and trelli7lng the plants
would be out of the question, but when
it comes to the home garden l regu-
larly every season trellis at least a few
plants, as they can be made a great
ornamental feature Of the grounds,
writes T. Grenler in exchange. A to-
mato plant ladened with its glossy,
high-colored fruit is a pretty object
anyway and a row Of them, we'll held
up, trimmed and tied. is really a
sight" One of the easiest ways Of
supporting a tomato plant for such eff
feet land this is my favorite way is to
simply stake 1t, and keep it trimmed to
a single stalk. The stake may consist
Of a plain bean-pole, seven or eight
feet high, or Of sawed stick, say two
inches square and eight feet long. Be
sure to set these stakes in a straight
line, and all uniformly perpendicular,
or, perhaps, slightly leaning. Then
trim the plants to one or two stalks,
uniformly. Keep all branches nipped
off. Tie the stalks and especially the
fruit clusters, with soft string, as for
instance, strips Of muslin, calico, or the
like, and see what an ornament this
tomato patch" will be to your gar
den.

How He was Cured of Most

From the Capital, St. John, Kansas.

IeErADAo SuHeElnB'
From the Capital, ST. John Kansas.
Your correspondent in an interview with
Mr.. John Mcmillan, who resides at st. John,
Kansas, elected the following information
concerning the wonderful curative proper
ties contained in Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. Mcmillan said
Gin the fall OF 1894, with another man,
decided upon hunting expedition into tho
Indian Territory. Accordingly we started
south late in the fall. The weather was
damp and cold, and we were compelled to
sleep on the ground with nothing but tent
for protection. The exposure coupled with
the bad water, which in that country con-
tains great quantity of alkali and gypsum,
caused me to contract bad case Of kidney
trouble and rheumatism, something had
never known before. After remaining in
the Territory for several months and con-
tinuing to grow worse, concluded the best
thing for me to do was to come home, which
proceeded to do. But after returning
seemed to get no better, If anything worse.
~ tried several remedies without avail.
My nights we're spent in sleeplessness and
misery, and l became convinced that I
must have help Immediately. Someone
told me the benefit they had derived from
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and determined
to give them trial, which / did, and l can
truthfully assert to you that Bheir action
was magical. From the first dose / COM

time Of my recovery until the present time.
can certainly recommend DR.. Williams
Pink Pills as one Of the best medicines on
the market, IL not the best"
In conclusion Mr. Mcmillan asked us IL
we intended making his statement public,
and upon our affirmative reply he remarked
that he was perfectly satisfied, as he had
often contemplated doing so himself. as no
considered it duty he owed 70 suffering
humanity.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed FORM all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after effect Of la
grippe, palpitation Of the heart, pale and
Ballow compilations, all forms Of weakness
either in male or female. Pink Pills are
sold by all Dealers or will be sent post paid
on receipt of price, 80 cents q box or six
boxes for $3.50, by addressing Dr. Williams
