Tidy or Untidx rackagcs.

A correspondent of the New York
Produce Review says: l have noticed
recently some very untidy packages of
creamery butter in stores here. Just
how the packages became dirty is diff
cult to say. 1t would seem hardly pos
sible that any buttermaker or cream
eryman would ship such packages. 1t
is not improbable that the transporta-
ton companies handling the butter
might have been careless, either in
loading it at shipping point or at some
transfer station. 1t is nevertheless a
matter which should be carefully look
ed after, as an untidy, unclean package
detracts not only from the appearance
of the tubs, but often seriously affects
the sale of the butter packed in them.
Buyers have always been rather partic-
ular to have clean, well-made tubs, but
are growing more so as time goes on
and are reluctant to take goods in I'M
tidy packages at top price although the
quality of the butter may be fancy. 1t
is, they say, difficult to convince their
customers that the butter is fancy
when it comes from a dirty package.

Last year l think I discovered a Way
to get nitrogen into my ensilage with
a very small expenditure of time Or
money, by a modification of the Rob
ertson idea, writes w. E. Dana in
boards Dairyman. Instead of plant
ing beans separate from the corn. I
planted a pole garden bean, Kentuckv
Wonder. in the corr hills when the
corn was about eight inches high
They. were planted later than the corn
in order that the corr could have a
start, so 1t would be able to act as n
support for the bean. The beans did
finely, made a good growth of vines
and pods. The corn was cut with a
Mccormick corn harvester. The beans
were handled all right and went
through the cutting box without apy
trouble. The ensilage was satisfactory
though | did not have enough of it 70
make any test beyond the fact nat
beans and corn could be grown to-
gether and harvested in a satisfa Glory
manner, with no greater expense than
the corn alone. l do wish that some
OF our experiment stations would take
up this idea n test the silage accu-
rately both for feeding and chemically
l think about three quarts of beans
planted through an acre of corn would
be about right.

Ten pulpits in Chicago are without
a pastor. Not ten little pulpits which

suburbs, but ten great, big pulpits at

there no preachers? Has the mortal

we can guess. We guess that it is be-
cause ten preachers cannot be found

The story is told Of a summer board
er who spent the season with a worthy
couple in Nova Scotia, writes C. L..
Gabrilson in Farm Stock and Home.
The report dDes not disclose that they
were regular farmers, but at all events
they kept a pig which was cared for
in the ordinary manner. The summer
boarder's vacation came to an end and
No returned to his relinCuished duties.
Yet the pig must have stayed, for two
years later, when the self same sum-
mer boarder again became a guest he
found the same pig in the pen. And
when expressing surprise at it's not
having been b%utchered long ago was
met with the query:
eff We killed the pig what would we
do with the swill?"
Now, with the majority of farmers
hogs are not kept for any such pur-
pose, but to be an active source of reve
u And it must be confessed that
1t is difficult to decide whether the
cow or the hog be given first place as
a moneymaker on the farms Of our
middle northwest. None of our do
nestle animals are more difficult tC
care for properly than the hog, and il
often becomes a nuisance accordingly
while if given a fair opportunity is the
tidiest and most clearly of them all,
Put a pig into a new, dry pen; wet
the floor in one corner and that spot
becomes the water-closet thereafter
provided the attendant does his duty
Little pigs instinctively avoid fouling
their nests, so that experience teaches
us that swine need not annoy the
senses as they too frequently do.

Salicylic Acid in Milk. DR.
Henry Lehman of Philadelphia a
prominent chemist of that city, recent
ly stated that many disease of infants,
which occur during the summer
months, may be induced by the use OF
milk, and artificial foods which con-
tain s~alicylic acid. He stated that the
drug had an enormous and increasing
sale, and that several forms are beng
put upon the market. Speaking of the
artificial form used by brewers, in the
preparation Of bottled beer, he thought
it poisonous, and that its sale should be
prohibited by law. In Trenton, N. j.,
recently, salicylic acid in milk caused
the death of several children.-Medical

The modern tendency toward COM
bination of capital in all lines of trade
must be checked, and this can only be
done by strict and effective statutes.
That such laws will be evaded, as the
antitrust act of congress has been I'M
til the present time, is to be expected.
When laws which will stand the test of
the courts are enacted the next duty
will be to elect officers and judges who
will enforce them.

Al q Wisconsin fair the superinten-
Gent Of the Farmers Institutes held
three 81 7rt institute sessions, taking
the prize-winning animals as texts,
and telling the reason which each

was because the managers thought the
farmers were after instruction as well
as amusement, and would gladly listen
to a man who could tell them how to
improve their stock. The experiment
succeeded, and we commend it to other
associations. 1t seems to fill a long
felt want that a horse-trot fails to sup

Worrying the Cow.-A rough, quick

excites her lessons if it does not stop
the secretion and flow of milk. It is
very easy for an employee, by kicking
and beating a COW just before or while
he is milking, to lessen her milk flow
by one-half. This is called holding
up" the milk. 1t is really a proven
ton of milk secretion, and the milk
thus lost does not come down at n
subsequent milking.

Cooling OFF the Pig,

A great many breeders, upon hav-
ing a pig or hog overheated or very
warm. attempt to reduce the tempera-
ture by dashing a bucket'of cold water
over it, says the Indiana Farmer"
Very often the result is a dead pig in
a very short time. The proper way
to cool off a pig just received in a crate
OF one that is o~verheated, is to let it
lie still and commence pouring water
gradually on its nose and continuing
for the space Of two minutes on the
nose up to the top of the head. Then
when the head is thoroughly cooled,
proceed backward gradually, not pour
ing too rapidly at first, till you have
reached the tail. In this way the hog
will be cooled off without danger of
any bad effects from the overheating.

Introduction of the Horn Fly.-The
horn fly has only been in the United
States about ten years. and this is, we
believe, in the fall of 1887 it appeared
in southern New Jersey, but was not
numerous enough to attract special at
tention till 1889. Since that time it
has spread throughout the eastern part
of the United States and from the Gulf
of Mexico into Canada. 1t reached
Michigan late last season, and was re-
ported from Manchester and several
other places in the southeastern nor
tion of the state. The rapidity with
which it spreads is wonderful.-Ex.

Miss Finch, besides being an extremely bright young woman Intellectually, possesses many of the qualities of an actress, which she displays well in her readings and songs. During the past winter in Chicago she has made quite a reputation for herself as professional in this line.
 Justin Thatcher A. V. Boardman and several other of the best vocalists in the city will also take part in this entertain ment.
 Tonight at North Birmingham Park a sacred concert will be given for the benefit of the Creche, for which very attractive programme has been arranged.

ADVANTAGE OF LOTTERIES
 FOR THE SOUTH

One of the leading industries of this eoun- try is the manufacture of pottery, porce- lain, etc. The two centers where the bulk of the enormous output of the United States are made are Trenton, N. J., and East Liverpool, O. These points have no natural advantages, all of the raw ma terials being brought there, and most of this raw material comes from the south.
 Koolin, feldspar and white flint rock ma terials used in the manufacture of pottery can be found in abundant quantities in AL abama, Virginia and other southern states. If the noEthern potteries pay under the disadvantages above mentioned, would pot teries not pay in the south, where they have the raw material? Much of the work could be performed by cheap negro labor, especially the digging and mining of raw materials. There Is also abundance of fuel in the south, both coal and wood, which is near at hand and cheap. All the pottery used in the south comes from northern or foreign manufactures. It Is better far to keep the money at home and manufac- ture not only what the south uses, but sell to the great west and other localities where the raw material is not to be found. There is also quantities of material for flint glass manufacture, and it would prove profitable in the south.
