fore the soil freezes too much to work
The best time for this work, of course
varies with the latitude. In this locality
we find October planting gives the best
results.
The florists catalogue gives list Of
bulbs that is bewildering to novice in
bulb buying. Many of the advertise
ments offer one or two bulbs each of a
number of different kinds in collection.
Many of these are so small that one bulb
makes almost no show. Instead of in
vesting in these | would suggest spending
the same amount for bulbs of one kind.
For the beginner there is nothing more
satisfactory than tulips.
If the farmer objects to flowers in the
dooryard-there are yet some farmers
who do-let the good wife invest 20
cents in tulips and, without saying any
thing about it, plant them by the fence,
and wait for the results. think it will
prove an excellent entering wedge, as
have noticed that men who care nothing
for flowers are almost sure to be attracted
by tulips. The descriptions in the cata-
logues help one to choice of varieties.
While many of the double tulips, such as
the Gloria Soils, are most gorgeous in
their coloring, and others are charming
in mixture of pink and white tints, per-
haps the single varieties are generally
preferred, as being more graceful.
For tulip bed it is we'll to spade to
the depth Of foot or more and work in
a quantity of we'll rotted manure. Plant
the bulbs about four inches deep and four
or five inches apart.
A beautiful border for the tulip bed
will be double row of crocus.
The cormsare rather small, and may
be set about two inches apart and two or
three inches deep. The mammoth yell
low is the earliest, and has the merit of
producing many flowers from a single
bulb. If the crocus is planted in dry
spot, with a sunny exposure, it will
bloom some days earlier than if not so
favored. | have in mind one home where

THE SEPARATOR AS A CLEAN
SER.

While the use of separator does not
extract all the impurities and injurious
bacteria from milk, it does remove very
large quantity of both. Those who have
had opportunities to examine what is
commonly known as separator slime"
will have noticed that after the skmming
is done the inside of the bowl is covered
with grayish, viscid matter that looks
like nothing else in the world, nothing
else in the world being quite so repulsive
in appearance. This slime has been ana
lyzed and found to consist of the viscous
portion of the milk, in which is entangled
hair, particles of manure, and filth of all
kinds, and to be, moreover, fairly alive
with injurious bacteria. 1t is becoming
not unusual now, among those who make
it point to sell absolutely pure and
wholesome milk, to run the milk through
the separator and extract the extraneous
matter referred to, than add the cream to
the skim milk again, when they find it all
the better for the cleansing. 1t is very
much more wholesome, and among those
who make point of having clean milk it
brings a better price.
1t is probable that the separator helps
the creamery to make a much better ar
ticle of butter than could otherwise be
made from promiscuously mixed lots of
milk such as are usually delivered to
creameries. The separation undoubtedly
takes out of the milk large amount of
filth, that the longer it stays in the more
injurious it is to the flavor. 1t removes,
also, immense quantities of injurious bac-
terra which, if permitted to remain until
the cream was raised by the gravity
process, could hardly fail to injure the
product. AS cleanliness is next to God
ness" and as this is particularly true in

UNDER FIRE AT ELEVEN.
The Fearless Young BoysWhose
Father WasIGen. ''Lawton.

The Kentucky State Guard num-
bers among its members the Youngest
individal that ever donned shoulder
straps i'll the United States Army or
who has been under fire in battle
This person is Capt. Marley Lawton,
now but thirteen years old, the son of
Gen. II. w. Lawton who fell at San
Mateo, while charging a Philippine
stronghold across a rice field. who
is now bugler of the First Battalion of
Artillery, Kentucky Guard.
AT the tender age of eleven wears
this boy was on the firing line and
under fire. He went to the Philip
pines with his father and served in
various commands until his fathers
death in December, 1899. Immediate.
ly upon his arrival in Manila and be-
fore his father was given a command
this boy went with Gen. Macarthur
to the front, where they found them
selves under fire. Gen. Lloyd Wheat
on's brigade had advanced from San
Pedro Macati to Guadalupe Ridge and
encountered the enemy. The courage
displayed by this child while the bat
tie ragged was matter of comment
among the officers.
Soon after this he was assigned to
the position of volunteer aid on his
fathers staff, with the rank of Cap
tain. He served faithfully and well
going through the entire campaign,
taking part in all the expeditions
and enduring the same hardships
as others of the command. Before
starting on that long northern expedi-
ton with his father in Luzon, the
result of which meant so much, he
served for some time as aid to Gen.
Fred Grant while the latter was sta
toned in Bacoor.
When Gen. Lawton left Manila the
night of Dec. IS, for San Mateo it
was the first time Manley did not ac-
company him. The boy was not well
and the storm was so great that the
young soldiers mother detained him.
The next morning his father fell.
Manley returned to the States with
his mother whose mourning was that
of the nation.
The mother has taken up her resi-
dence at Pewee Valley, near Louis
vile, where young Lawton is much
admired by the citizens, being seen
almost daily riding tbs Philippine
pony, which he brought to America.
He was much admired at the recent
encampment of the State Guard at
Owensboro where he recited enter
tainingly to Gov Beckham, Gen.
John B. Castleman and other officials
his experiences in the Philippines.
The record shows young Lawton's
assignments in the Philippine service
as follows; Arrived in Manila, March
10, 1899. Reported June 10, and ten

their early Towering. In all the success
sion of flowers with which we are blessed
perhaps none have more cheering mes
sage for our hearts than these early GRO
Gus blooms.
A favorite way of planting the crocus is
to lift the sod Of the lawn with trowel,
place crocus bulb beneath it and replace
the sod. BY the time the grass is ready for
the lawn mower they will be done flower
ing and the foliage may be cut off without
injury. The mixed varieties sold by the
florists are very satisfactory. Among the
named varieties the purple and white
striped Sir Walter Scott is very fine
No doubt many persons would name
hyancinths first in list of bulbs. 1t is
true they are among the first in beauty
and sweetness, but many of them deteror-
ate SO much that they are not as desirable
for permanent planting as the tulips and
Crocus.
The large Towering kinds of narcissus
are not as extensively grown as the bulbs
| have mentioned, but have found much
pleasure in growing them. They are so
large that few bulbs make good show
ing of flowers. Household is good type
of these large trumpet shaped flowers.
Let every farmers wife and daughter
plant just few bulbs this fall and see
how richly they will repay her for the
small outlay of time and money.

dairying, the separator performs an office
in the cleansing of milk that is perhaps
almost as important as the rapid separa-
ton of fresh, sweet milk, which is its
principal mission. This ability to cleanse
milk is one of the points that the farm
dairyman will do well to take into con-
sideration when he is weighing the ques-
ton whether or not he will put in farm

AGRICULTURAL.

Now that Professor Koch announces
that tuberculosis is not communicated to
mankind through bovine influences, it
may be very reasonably expected that
dairymen and milk dealers will feel a
great relief. What effect this change of
opinion may have on the mind of the
public is different thing. We do not
profess to be scientists but if all the
milk from tuberculous COWS was half as
deadly as hitherto represented the won
der is that half of us are living. In re-
gard to milk from one COW for the special
use of a sickly infant, we remember years
ago hearing one of the greatest admirers
of DR.. Koch denounce the idea as the
rankest heresey, declaring that he would
rather risk fresh milk where the milk of
dozen cows had been thoroughly mixed
than the milk of any one COW. Some one
may say that doctors differ and patients
die, and so the old COW goes on as usual
But what aspect will dairy and milk in
spection assume now? We think it will
be great public mistake to relax vigil
lance on the inspection of milk The
INSCRIPTIONS dairymen and dealers have
been smarting on account of what they
considered undue interference with their
business. We have never been party
to oppression or any undue interference,
but there is plain public duty for health
authorities to perform, and to that end
their best efforts should still be directed |
just as vigilantly as if Koch had made no
announcement.
Another phase of this question now
looms in sight. There may be danger
that, with a change in public opinion,
breeders may become less careful in
their breeding operations than they have
been of late years. For ourselves, we
have advocated the robustness of con-
stitution, due regard to sanitary ar
rangements, good care and shelter of
prime Importance in resisting the in
roads of tuberculosis. We are still of
the same opinion. and will continue to
so advise with the voice of experience to
impel that warning. We know of herds
where there is not a single beast that ,
has cough or appears emaciated, and
we knew of some herds that are different G
from that. There is a great difference .
in the methods of breeders, and there is
just as great difference in the person.
