The Hot Days.

Last winter when it was so cold,
people looked forward to this season
and wished for the summer to come.
But now it is here, it is not wholly
com Portable; in fact it is very uncom-
Portable for many people. One great
need in hot weather is to get plenty of
sleep. If one has to try for this in
hot room where there is no cool breeze
blowing in, he will be very likely to
fail in his attempts, unless very tired,
and one can be too tired to sleep well.
A bath taken just before going to bed
is great help oftentimes in promoting
both comfort the next day and sleep
that night. When a man has been
working in the dust and dirt which gets
glued to his skin by sweat, he can do
a good job for himself by putting some
water in the washtub, if he has no
bathtub, and taking a good washoff
each night. We think there are few
people but would find it most bene-
ASlhl pidStiNCs IL 10 ucudllJ DCLlCl
done at night than in the morning, but
if it can be best done on rising do it
then.
While plenty of water should be
dram k, beware of taking it too cold and
of drinking much at or for an hour or
two after meal time. Go slow on meats
and erich" foods, but take plenty of
fruits and, green's. Avoid sitting up
late, especially if you have to get up
early and go to work on the farm.
Young people should remember that
they need sleep in abundance, though
they may not realize lit. Few workers
get too much sleep. Few people eat
too little in hot weather. Have an oil
or gas stove in the kitchen, and keep
just as cool as you can day and night.

AGRICULTURAL.
Stirring the Soil.

We hope our readers have not for
gotten the advice of the WATCHMAN
to keep the top of the soil as fine as
dust, in the early summer The dust
mulch is the very best covering for the
corn and potato fields in the hot wealth
er, as much better than surface crust
as gold is better than mud. After ev-
cry rain, go over the ground as soon as
it is dry enough, with good weeder.
This breaks up the pores of the surface
and prevents evaporation. When the
next rain comes there will be every
facility for the water to run right down
into the ground to the roots of the
plants, just where it is wanted, instead
of running off on the top of hard I'M
broken crust. You can tell the degree
of civilization farmer has attained by
one glance al his corn and potato fields.
II they are hiled away up high, you
may know he is only half civilized, per-
haps not tha', yet | have seen acres of
ulUtu up DtltJOtb anu OOlh
sight of the capitals of various states,
and in hundreds Of other places you
will find such evidence of lack of prog
ress and intelligence. The only place
where killing up will do at all is on wet
land, and such land should either be
drained or kept in permanent moving
or pasture. But if it must be cult
waited, Il plants must be raised above
the water, and the only way to do it, if
the soil is not drained, is to hill up.
But the man who has to work such
land is to be pitied, The only right
way to cultivate is to keep the land
level until late at least. If the pota
toes and corn were rightly planted they
will need little dirt heaped up around
them. But if you must hill up, wait
till the last cultivation, and then do not
put much around the hills.

Keeping the Cans Clean.
Swift and Company, Makers, Chicago M@

There is serious trouble In every
creamery in the land, over certain o.
the patrons not keeping their milk cans
clean. The difficulty is largely be-
cause the patron does not understand
the necessity of a clean can. He has
never made any special study of Il is
point, and there is no reason why he
should know all there is to be known
Oh this subject. But in such case, he
ought to be willing to take some other
mau's word for it, who does know, and
because he will not do this, is the cause
of all the loss and trouble that ensues.
Farmers complain that their skim
milk sours too quickly after leaving the
creamery. If every patron would thor
oughly clean and scad his cans With
boiling hot water, before he puts his
milk into them, to bring to the cream
cry, his milk and all the milk would be
in much better condition to keep, to
start with.
Then if he would do the same thing,
and add to it, securing the seams with
a brush after the skim milk is emptied
from them, the can would be in much
better shape to receive the fresh milk
at the next milking.
1t is evident that great many pa
irons and their wives do not really
know what it means to clean a can SO
it can safely hold milk, and not faint it.
Experiments have shown that milk
stored in steriized cans will keep near
ly twice as long, as when kept in cans
washed in the usual way. To clean
can thoroughly, or free it from germs,
~ IS 81 h.
ment Station, states that it must first
be scrubbed, then scalded out with
boiling water, care being taken that it
is boiling, or, better still, use live
steam under pressure. No living or
ganism can withstand steam, not even
bacteria spores, although some of them
will resist temperature of 200o f.
If dairy houses are supplied with
boiler, 1t can easily be managed to turn
cans over jet of steam having pres
sure of fifteen or twenty pounds. AT
ter steaming, cans should be kept bot
tom side up, as bacteria tend to go
downward. There are patent "milk
can washers" on the market, which run
by power, but for the ordinary dairy
man, hand brushes will be found just
as effectual, and economical
The ideal way to be sure of having
clean milk, would be, for the patron to
have two sets of cans, one for the fresh
milk, and the other for taking home
the skim milk. Then when he empties
the fresh milk cans, have them thor
oughly cleaned and steamed at the
creamery, and at the same time have
the skim milk cans cleaned, and like
wise steamed before being filed with
skim milk.
The creamery always has the hot
water and steam, and it could easily
fix up can cleaning place, in addition.
This method would greatly help the
creamery to get sweet, pure milk, and
help the farmer to longer keep his skim
milk sweet.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
|surfaces.

HUSTLING TIMES.
People Who Keep a Lookout After
Those Gone Before Are
Kept busy.

Few persons probably realize how
much business is transacted in connec-
ton with those who have ceased 10 do
business and have gone to their final
rest. 1t would seem the proper Thing
that Nirvuna should come with death.
so far as business with the dead person
is concerned. But it is not so. and never
has been. Yet in these modern times
of competition and the evolving of
schemes to make money, says the Gin
cinnaii Enquirer, death sets in motion
machinery of business that awaits the
visit of the pale rider to give it impetus.
The records of the probate court are
the source of information for the agents
of various enterprises. The solicitors
of bond companies, ready TO become
surety for executors, administrators,
guar ..ans and trustees, watch those
records. Employees of legal advertis-
ing mediums pour over them to get the
names of attorneys, appointees of the
court, and seek them to solicit the adj
vertising that must be done under the
law But strangest of all to seek that
source of information is the maker of
grave stones. Yes, an agent is al work
in that direction, and il is related that
he gets considerable business. He
makes note of the attorney and admin
istrato; the names of the widow or be-
reaved hus band or children. and in due
time seeks them and solicits their trade.
With his catalogue of his business he
shows what can be furnished TO perpet-
uate the memory of the loved one who
has paid the debt of nature.

game is similar to golf, excepting that
it is much ruder. The Indians are d.
