Poisonous Garden Plants.

Among the garden plants commonly
in vogue which possess a poisonous
nature botanists mention the flowers
of the ionquil, white hyacinth and
snowdrop, the narcissus being also
particularly deadly, so much so, IN
deed, that to chew small scrap OF
one of the bulbs may result fatally,
while the juice of the leaves is an
emetic. The berries Of the yew have
killed many persons, and it is pretty
well known nowadays that it is not
safe to eat many peach pits or cherry
kernels at once. The lobelias are all
dangerous, their juice, if swallowed,
producing vomiting and giddiness.'

the most harmful. Lilies of the valley
are also as much so. There is enough
opium in red poppies to do mischief;
and the autumn crocus, if the blossoms
are chewed, causes vomiting and purG-

Correct Temperature For Churning.

What is the correct temperature for
churning? That question is =" I'd
me oftener than any other au. 1t is
one of the hardest questions to au-
swer in the dairy curriculum. nen
US old fellows were boys our grand
mothers stuck their fingers in the
cream and that allowed them to come
within about two hours of correct
churning temperature. At least that
is how long it seemed to me when I
had the fun of splashing buttermilk
all over my eyes and nose. When
the thermometer was discovered In
the dairy some fellow found that sixty
two degrees Fahrenheit was about
right for average lots of cream. In
fact nearly all creams will pound out
within an hour at sixty-two degrees.
But in churning we do not merely
want to get the butter, for we can
pound all the flavor out OF butter II
we are careless about the temperature
at which we churn.
Since the separator has come into
the dairy and we find ourselves able
to make cream of any degree of rich
ness that suits us, and having found
out that the richness of the cream
regulates the temperature at which 1t
should be churned, and desiring to
save the flavor of the butter, we have
naturally become more critical about
our lringing these two factors to-
gether.
Therefore now we say that rich
cream taken from shallow pans set
warm should be churned at fifty-tive
degrees Fahrenheit. Thin cream
from deep cold setting should be
churned at from sixty-two to sixty-tve
degrees Fahrenheit Separator cream
should be churned according to its
richness from ffty-four to sixty-fve
degrees Fahrenheit. But softly
there is another factor in the game
which is the food The COW eats. l
cannot name them now, but you may
put oil meal or corn meal for low
temperature, and cotton seed meal
for a high one, even to seyenty-four
degrees Fahrenheit. Having told
you all I know about a correct tenn
perature for churning, let me give
this piece of advice: Experiment all
the way from fifty-four to seventy-four
with your cream and in that way find
out which is the best temperature for
your cows with your system of dairy

appeared After Remains Were Found
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Especially The my5-
terry surrounding the finding Of the dis
membered remains OF young woman by
two boys is beginning to clear. The re-
mains have been identified as those OF
Marion Grace Perkins, of Middleboro,
Mass, by her father, Frank Perkins. The
father having looked upon the withered
and distorted tace of his child, went out to
Stratford avenue and over the bridge from
which the murderers tossed portions OF the
body. With him was Undertaken John
Cullinan. While he looked across the
dreary stretch Of the sea pond, the spots
where the bundles containing the dismem-
bered sections were found were shown him.
He was silent. He heard the story Of the
monstrous crime, sighed and said:
"Let us 60 back"
The young woman had been the recipient
OF attentions paid by Charles Bourne, the
son OF wealthy parents in Middleboro.
Bourne spent the summer at Onset, Mass,
where DIR. Nancy Guilford, Of Bridgeport,
had practised and was well known. She
had met Bourne there.
Bourne sent for Grace Perkins to come
from Middleboro to Onset on August "a.
She left home the following day, and re-
NAMED week at Onset, at the house of
Mrs. Sarah Snow.
In company with Bourne she left Onset
on September l. They were seen that
afternoon at fremont. From this point
all definite trace Of them has been lost.
The question OF identity having been set
tied, the portentous mystery OF who caused
her death, and Of where now is the person
responsible for the butchery is the matter
of absorbing interest.

Bee Hives Exposed to Hot Sun.

Bee Hives Exposeu 10 hot ouh'
Thin hives placed directly in the
sun during the warmest part OF the
season are in danger of destruction by
the combs melting down in heap.
A temporary shade of some kind
should be used during the warmest
part of the day, and may be board
placed in such position as to shield
the hive at this particular time.
Bees are very good at doing their
own ventilating, but at times the heat
gets beyond their control. The Bee
House remedies this evil, besides
many others, and if once you keep
your bees in a properly constructed
house, you will not return to out api'
