Care OF the Churn.

Among the duties Of the one who
must care for the dairy articles the
care of the churn is not the least, for.
it will not stand any neglect without
serious results; that is. if one wants
pure, sweet butter. and it can never
be made in a churn that is the least
sour. The sooner the milk and butter
are removed from the churn the less
trouble it will be to clean. Cold water
should be used first to wash off the
milk adhering to the sides. and then
scalding water must be freely used,
and in such way that it will reach
all the cracks and crevices. for it is
these that hold the milk and make
breeding places for microbes. unless
they are thoroughly cleansed.
The churn will never become sour
if plenty of scalding water and per-
fectly clean cloths are used after each
churning. I have seen the dishcloth
used for washing the churn. It should
never be used. as it is not sufficiently
clean, and it is easy to keep cloths c.
pecially for cleaning dairy utensils.
They need plenty of sunshine and hot
water to keep them clean and sweet
and, what is still more important, to
keep them free from disease germs.
Wash the dairy cloths frequently, first
in cold water, then put them in good
suds, set on the stove and let them
hOi1 90 minuteS or longer Then rinse
and hang in the sunshine until perfect
ly dry. 1t takes only little time, and
one is well repaid for the trouble, for
the cloths and towels will always be
sweet and clean, and if washed in this
way they may be kept white until they
are entirely worn out.-Indiana

TO BE Needed NOW.
In the Spring You Are
Always Run Down.
This Will Tell You Just What To
Do For Yourself.
And Just Why You Should Follow
Exactly This Plan.

In the spring everybody needs to
think about taking spring medicine.
Not only is this common practice,
but a very necessary and healthful
one. It is a fact which physicians
acknowledge and the people recognize
generally, that a spring tonic taken
during the months of March. April
and May is more conducive to the res.
itoration of health. in cases of those
who are sick, than any other course
of treatment that could possibly be
adopted.
In the spring there are a great
many and important changes going on
in the body. Perfect health cannot
be maintained while the system is
clogged and the organs sluggish. and
the person has languid and weak.
ened feeling, with more or less ner-
yousness and debility. Therefore
everybody should take a good spring
remedy.
The best spring medicine. indorsed
and recommended by physicians,
druggists and the people. is DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. In proof Of this. thousands

Hotbeds for Farmers.

Most farmers better let hotbeds
alone. AS rule. those who try them
are anxious to sell their outfit in g.
year or two. Hotbeds will not run
themselves and the weather is very
ficke in early spring. Unless the farm
er has someone who can be constantly
near and. constantly mindful Of the
hotbed, it won't pay. But if they are
cared for and intelligently managed,
they yield large profits in both money
and pleasure. l advise the framer who.
will thus care for the hotbed to have
one by all means.
In making it, first get the sash-3x6
feet is best. Then make the frame to-
neatly fit the sash. Select the spot
for the bed and set the frame on it.
Mark the ground drawing line entire
ly around the frame and one foot away
from it, so that the pit will be one
foot wider on every side than the:
frame. Set the frame aside and dig.
the pit about Is inches in depth. Ar
range for drainage so that it is not
possible for water to stand in it, for
standing water will destroy the heat
and ruin the bed. Cover the bottom
with cornstalks or coarse litter to as
sist drainage, then fill in one foot deep
with manure tramped down hard.
THIS manure should have been heaped
and heated and worked over time
or two before being used. Place the
frame now on the manure, sloping
it four to six inches to the SOUTH Put;

The plants will sprout best in the

glass pry up the frame just little at at
a time, so as to keep the plants close
to the glass. Plants down in a pit will
grow spindling. This is where the.

A Practice Becoming Obsolete.

though but slowly. Under regulations
quite generally adopted in recent
years, mounds are not permitted,
which encourages better appearance

turally shed water, resulting, as
rule, in sickly sod or weak plants
where thev are placed in that posi-.

persons are annoyed and puzzled b.

the sod or plants above the grave
have at least equal chance with the
surrounding sod to get all the benefit.

ture cannot do in the winter, and that
is to furnish his fowls with food to-
take the place of insects. and l know
of no other feed that answers this pur-
pose better than fresh ground bones:
They are rich in nitrogen and there

answer several purposes when used
for poultry. Being phosphate of lime,5
they are capable of being digested,
which is not the case with oyster
shells and grit, and they supply the
birds with elements that may be lack

and are readily eaten by all kinds OF
poultry. In fact, it is safe to claim
that there is nothing that can be used
as egg producing food which serves
the purpose so we'll as fresh cut bone.
Its combinations of qualities, nitrogen,
lime for eggshells, cost and adaptation
to all fowls and all ages, give it a
place even higher than meat. which
contains nitrogen, but no lime or other
mineral matter. Of course, when
bones have considerable meat adher--

The Queen and Napoleon.


The simplicity Of the queens charact-
er is well shown by the ease with
which the adventurer Bonaparte in
gratiated himself and the obscure
Spanish countess, whom he had mar
ried, into her favor. He was, as Gre
vile remarked, the first man whom she
had ever met on the foot of equality,
and he took prompt advantage of this
vantage ground to secure for himself
the stamp of what may be called the
social approval in the coterie of kings
which her appreciation conferred. He
did it by the old, but always effective
method, of familiarizing himself with
the life history or the subject of his
flattering attentions.
''It is very odd," exclaimed the in
genius queen, after her visit to Paris
in 1855, "but the emperor knows every
thing have done and everywhere 1
have been since was IL years old; he
even recollects how I was dressed. -

Poultry Shipments Should Look Nice.

Poultry Shipments Should LOOK Nice.
Farmers, when. making shipments
of their poultry to market, should
make it a point to have their birds OF
uniform size. It goes long way In
the eyes of the buyer, for at a glance
he can tell just about what kind OF
stock he is buying, and as the birds
will look better and neater a slight
increase in the price is generally the
result
Another point is to handle the car
casses gently so that the light outer
skin will not break, as the under skin
which shows through these broken
spots detracts from the appearance
cf the birds. Any day at the market
you can see buyers pass this kind OF
stock and go to those who have nice
looking poultry and give two or three
cents more pound for 1t.
