There is a company OF thirty-fve or
forty married people IN the city which
have been arranging and carrying out
series of surprise parties on their
friends for several months, one being
held each week. Thursday evening
they arranged to call upon Mr.. and
Mrs. James Clark and met in body at
the home Of r. r. Saul, making their
descent on the Clark home with we'll
filed baskets aud joyful hearts. The
crewd is quite congenial and when to-
gether they do not lack for amuse-
meuts. Cards games and music, the
two former varied in character, served
to make the evening pass most enjoya-
bly,. The serving OF the refreshments
and the pleasure in partaking of them
is no less r prominent feature than any
thing else on the program. They pro-
pore to keep these parties up for several
months to come, finding this method OF
meeting together in sociability one OF
profit aud pleasure, and believing that
life shows more brightness and lustre
in this manner than by remaining con.
stantly by ones own fireside.

DEATH OF MRS. NJ. +. DUNDASS.

She Died in Boston and Her Death Was
Due to Tubsrcular Meningitis.
Brief mention was made of the death
OF Mrs. Marvin F. Dundass, who died
in Boston, Sunday, March II, and who
was we'll known in Mitchell, having
spent the summer here last year. Con-
corning her death the Boston Globe Of

At the residence of her mother, Mrs.
Susan J. Homer, in Rox bury, last Sun
day morning, Mrs. Lillian NJ, wife of
Marvin F. Dundass, passed away after
brief illness OF acute suffering of tuber-
oular meningitis. Yesterday afternoon
her relatives and many friends, to whom
she was greatly endesred, gathered to
pay their last tribute OF affection to her
memory. The services were conducted
by Rev D. W. Waldron and were very
impressive and of great consolation to
the bereaved. Her favorite hymns,
"Jesus, Lover of MY Soul" "and "Nearer
My God to Thee" were sung. The

Be 1t not believed that would credit
a.. the improvement directly to pas

due to the better buildings and better
attention from the makers which pas
teurization absolutely demands.
And with these better buildings with
this better care in the creamery would
come a better example In care and
cleanliness for the patrons. badly
needed in many cases. Shiftless but
termakers would soon have to return
to the simpler duties on the farm and
those who know and love their art
would be able to demand the salary to
which their knowledge and education
entities them.
Cement or fagstone floors, II not
brick buildings, would be the order OF
the day and when once the patrons
got accustomed to pa5teurized skim
milk, they would appreciate its value,
leaving out the question Of tubercu-
losis, and they would be compelled to
deliver better milk to enable the
creamery men to pasteurize.
For all these reasons when I am

Grower. This can be secured by keep
ing the ground full OF humus or vege-
table matter and then begin cultiva-
ton early in the spring and keep 1t up
after every rain. Careful experiments
have proven that q loose earth mulch
OF three inches is best for conserva-
ton OF moisture. The roots are prone
to come near the surface to get the
influence OF the sun end oxygen Of the
air, and so II we adopt three inches
AS the proper depth, great care should
be exercised to go no deeper, lest we
tear the roots OF the plant and de-
prive them OF their feeders and cause
them to send up many suckers, which
become a nuisance.
The cultivation should continue reg
ularly, at least once q week. When
the ground IL filIed with water in the
winter and spring we must not let 1t
get away. Cultivation does not add
any water to the soil, but II prevents
the supply from getting away The
water draws to the surface by cnpil-
larry attraction and film movement,
and cultivation, or making the loose
earth mulch, destroys these capillary
passages and checks the film move
ment SO water cannot rise and must
remain below until 1t is breathed
away by the plants.
Now, when the berry pickers tramp
through the rows they tread the earth
down hard and thus the water rapid
W flows to the surface, where 1t Is
promptly picked up by the sun and
wind and carried on. At this season

All this will be prevented largely
by having the horse and cultivator

luscious as the first.

What Ais the Butter ?

| Dealers and consumers frequently
complain of butter as Strong" because
1t has white streaks, when perhaps it
is fresh from the churn; only the salt
has not been properly worked in,
writes a correspondent of New Eng
land Farmer. Sometimes they think
the white streaks are due to milk in
the butter In fact the best butter
that was ever churned will be streaked
II the salt is unevenly mixed A friend
lately asked for directions for laying
down butter. Some people have an
idea that laid-down" butter must be
strong after keeping awhile; but this
Is mistake. 1t will not have the
flavor of new butter, certainly; but I
have kept butter from fall to spring
in good order. Butter may be spoiled
anywhere between the pasture and the
table, for all the way there are little
points which go to make the difference
between the poorest quality and the
gilt-edged article. There are three es-
sentials to good butter: good COW,
good feed and good dairy woman or
man. A poor buttermaker can spoil
the butter from the best cows, and
those that have the best care; even
the mixer has good deal to do with
it.
Butter taken from the churn in
granular form will take the salt more
evenly than If gathered into a lump,
besides which the milk can be more
thoroughly separated Tastes differ as
to the amount of salt, but this is not
essential to the keeping qualities of
butter; anywhere from one-half ounce
or more will keep it il the milk is out
Of 1t. For laying down, a stone jar
is as good as anything; press the
layer down as solid as possible, then
sprinkle handful OF salt over to keep
the next layer from sticking A cloth
may be put between the layers, but it
Is not essential.
The call now Is for freshly-made
butter. md with the improved breeds
Of cows and winter calves this is the
most profitable part of farming in
many localities. The old-time COW that
made five pounds of butter per week
and went dry three months has gone
by with many other WORKOUT things,
and her place is filled by her betters.

Pnsteurixatfon.

Denmark's butter has gained quite a
reputation In England. yet we make 1t
quite as good in our best creameries
The general introduction of pasteur-
ization, no doubt. has secured the
Danes their reputation chiefly by the
uniformity obtained. Ninety per cent
of the creameries there pasteurize. TIT
may here be remarked that a law now
compels creameries in Denmark to
pasteurize the skimmilk (by heating to
1875 degs.) In order to prevent the
spread Of tuberculosis.1
1t is only to raise the general aver
age and to secure uniformity that /
advocate pasteurizing. l need hardly
do so. for those creameries which now
make perfect butter the whole year.
shall not venture to give offense by
guessing at the number Of creameries
which really do this. but will say that
until patrons of creameries and their
hired men become angels on earth.
there viii be some day in most cream
cries when pasteurization would Inn
prove their butter.
But this will not be realized as long
as we have commission men fattering
their patrons and returning one-half
cent above = market price. which they
depress to correspond. 1t will fear
not be realized until we have daily
butter auctions after having 1t scored
by disinterested judges.

prove over seventy per cent of the but
ter output by pasteurization, and in
the case of fifty per cent improve it,

Tho Apple Orchard.


At recent institute the subject cho-
sen for discussion was The Apple, says
New York Witness. and from the
points made by the different speakers

1t is advisable to plough the whole
field before planting the trees. and any
land which will grow a good crop Of
corn Ia suitable for the trees. In the
matter OF selecting the trees 1t is ad
visable to choose strong, healthy trees
about two years old; but this rule In
regard to age is not set one. Upon
planting the trees wrap them up we'll

ers said they cut back the top, while
others did not; some paid no attention
to the roots, while others did. 1t was
advised to keep the orchard planted
In corn for three or four years, and
after this to keep row or two on the
outside to serve as a sort of wind
break and for feeders.
The general opinion was to cultivate

A couple of years ago a great many
people exclaimed that the horse would
go out of use as source of pleasure,
and that the bicycle would take his
place, and to prove their assertions,
drew attention to the fact that BIZ
cycles were selling for more money
than horses, says writer in the Amer
lean Horse Breeder. That was at the
time when 500 was the standard price
of bicycle. How is it now? The
price Of horses. particularly of horses
suitable for pleasure use, is steadily
going up, while the same bicycles that
formerly sold for 500 are now down to
$50, and in some cases to $40, while
secondhand wheel that cost 500 two
years ago can be bought for $40 or SIS
now. Did the price of horses drop in
as great a proportion as that? Not
much. True, some fancy and really
absurd prices were paid years ago by
men who had money to burn and wish
ed to advertise the fact. but the legiti-
mate value of horses never dropped
over so per cent, and is now on the
rise, while the bicycle is down, to re-
main down. Any man who can afford
to keep a road horse will keep one.

fads.

and flies and heat help to cut it down
still lower. In the fall when the milk
begins to drop rapidly on account of

McKinley's OptimIsm.

Mr.. Mckinley cannot afford to be
otherwise than optimistic. 1t is his
war. He embarked the country in it
without consulting either Congress
or the people. Tho acquisition of the
Philippines was his idea. He insisted
through his docile agents and brok-
ers in Paris upon the surrender of
the Philippines by Spain rs the con-
ditiou' upon which he would agree to
make peace with the latter country.
although nothing of the kind was
stipulated or even limited at in the
protocol. Rather than miss what he
must have thought at the time was
fine bargain he agreed to pay Spain
S20,O00,0O0 for her title, such as it
was, and to take the chance of licking
the Filipinos into submission. How
many millions in addition to the
$2O,OOO,OoO paid to Spain have since
been expended in tho vain effort to
protect the Spanish title by war and
bloodshed the American people do
