STRA WBERRY ICE CREAM.

Sprinkle two cups of sugar over
three pints of Strawberries, reserving
one pint from the two quarts of ber
ries to use later, selecting, of course,
the largest and best of the berries.
Mash the sugar and fruit very fine
and let them stand until the sugar is
entirely dissolved. Then turn the
mass into a large square OF coarse
cheese cloth laid over a bowl, and
press and squeeze as long as any
juice or pulp will come through. This
is merely to remove the fine seeds,
which are to many tastes quite OBJ
jectionable, especially after they have
been frozen. Empty the pulp and
seeds left in the cloth into bowl and
add one cup of milk, mix it we'll with
the pulp until the pulp is separated
from the seeds. Then squeeze again
until perfectly dry and nothing left in
the cloth but a ball of seeds. When
the fruit is abundant and cheap such
to the juice from one to three cups of
cream, according as you wish a rich
Or delicate flavor of the fruit. Some
fruit will flavor large amount of
cream, and other varities will lose
their individuality in very small
portion. Add sugar to make it quite
sweet, then freeze as usual, and when
frozen or just befrore serving stir in
the reserved fruit, first cutting it in
thin slices. 1t should not stand long
in the frozen mixture, Or it is likely
to become icy.-Batrlingto NeaOs.

500 REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is catarrh. HALLS Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutiona1 disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, and acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease and
giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The prcprietors have SO much
faith in it's curative powers that they offer
one hundred dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testim onials.

Many a woman of slender means
makes herself veritable slave during
the hot weather. She cannot afford
the expense of girl, neither can she
be brought to see that it would be far
better for her family to have a we'll
and happy wife and mother and
simpler meals, than to sit down
to sumptuous repast with
tired, worn out housekeeper. How
much wiser to substitute simple,
wholesome dishes suitable to the sea-
son in place of the hearty meats, pies,
cakes, doughnuts, ETC., that compose
the diet of many families. A variety
of fresh fruits and vegetables, cold
meats, plain hard boiled or salad
eggs, salads of various kinds, sand
wiches, custards, creams and cold
buildings are far more dainty and
easier prepared than large number
of dishes seen on so many tables.

If farming were not the best bust
ness on earth the financial wrecks
along our pathway would be legion.
The average farmer (and there are
millions of "him'O raises less than
half crops, and wastes large per-
centage of what he does raise. 1t is
possible in good soil and best season
to raise one hundred bushels of corn,
forty bushels of wheat, three hun
dred bushels of potatoes, two and
onehalf tons of hay and sixty bushels
of oats an acre. The average yield is
about thirty four, thirteen one hun
dred, and thirty bushels respectively,
and one and one half tons of hay.
Much larger yields are often raised,
but whether it is profitable to push
to the utmost limit of production can
only be determined by experience.

LADIES' COLUMN.
SATIN THE HOUSEHOLD.

Besides being necessary Ingredient
in most kinds Of cookery, an appetiz-
| ing addition to many articles of raw
food, and the prime necessity in
catching bird, the laundress puts
trif1e of salt in her starch, adds it in a
larger quantity to the water in which
she washes ginghams and other color
ed fabrics, rubs it we'll into the spots
where oxalic acid has been applied
to remove iron stain to neutralize the
acid; or smooth the fatiron by rub
bing it upon salt sprinkled on bit of
paper.
The housewife adds pinch to the
water in her boquet-holder that the
flowers may retain their freshness;
scours the tea or coffee stains from
the cups with it; has portion put in
whitewash to make it adhere more
closely to the surface where applied;
obtains good result by throwing
handful into the dull coal fire with no
explosive results; Or if the wood fire
gets beyond her control and the
chimney catches fire, a quantity
thrown into the stove serves as
damper to the flames; if the brick
gives way in her cooking range, a
paste of equal parts of salt and wood
ashes mixed with cold water and Civ
en- little time to harden we'll sup
plies the loss; for cleaning every
article of brass Or copper, salt with
vinegar or a slice of lemon is called
into use, and followed by brisk
polishing with a soft, dry towel.
In the nurses department, the
''home doctor" applies the strong
solution of salt and vinegar to the
sprain; the heated salt bags, or salt
mingled with hops, for the relief of
severe pain; for a strong poultice
beat together salt and the yolk of an
egg; for infamed eyelids or slight
spots of skin poisoning uses the weak
solution of salt and water; applies
dry salt as a dentifrice, cleansing the
teeth and having a most saIutary
effect on the gums; as dry shampoo,
rubbing salt into the hair at night to
be combed out in the morning, leav-
ing clean scalp; administers salt for
hemorrhage of the lungs or stomach;
or a spoonful in glass of cold water
for nausea; for slight burns and fresh
cuts binds on the affected parts
moistened salt; for neuralgia of feet
or limbs bathes those parts with the
strong solution Of salt in water as hot
as is bearable.
The testimony of the 'good book" IS
that 'salt is good" and she who holds
the threefold position of housewife,
nurse and Iaundress Gas do many
wives) must surely have often proven
this true, and realized the terseness
and strength of the utterance.-

NOT UNDERSTOOD.

Not understood! We move along asunder;
Our paths grow wider as the seasons Greer
Along the years. We marvel and we wonder
Why life is life, and then we fall asleep,
Not understood.
Not understood! How trif1es often change us!
The thoughtless sentence and the fancied
slight
Destroy long years of friendship and est-ange
us,
And on our souls there falls freezing
blight,
Not understood.
Not understood! How many hearts are
aching
For lack of sympathy! Ah day by day,
How many cherries, lonely hearts are
breaking!
How many noble spirits pass away
Not understood.

Or judge less harshly when they cannot see;
o God! that men might draw little nearer
To one another. They'd be nearer Thee,

The most successful method of
raising good calves of the beef breeds
is to allow them the full milk of the
dam and supplement this with good
grain ration, such as corn, oats and
oil meal. This method is somewhat
expensive, and it is often desirable to
separate the butter fat from the milk
and use the separator skim milk for
raising calves. When this plan is fol-
lowed much the best results will be
obtained by the use of a small sized
separator on the farm where the milk
can be separated and fed back to the
calves at temperature Of about 80
degrees. This can be done without
artificial heat. The milk is then fresh
and warm and in the most palatable
condition, and it is only necessary to
add suitable substitute for the butter
fat removed.
