The whole tendency among consum-
ers is toward fresher butter. In Eng
land and On the continent butter made
in those countries is served particular
" fresh and white. says The American
Agriculturist. In the best restaurants
and hotels in the larger cities of this
country the butter contains very little
salt. a great number of Americans
who go abroad. or who patronize city
hotels and restaurants in this country,
are acquiring the taste for fresh but
ter. The fancy dairies that command
extravagant prices put out a product
that is almost fresh. Creameries that
are catering to the highest class gro
GERS and the best family trade now use
only half as much salt as they did five
ag>ttssTfssesfi 5 ago.
This point is worthy Of more general
consideration by dairymen and cream
cry men everywhere. The quality Of
salt is also important, but the leading
brands are now quite above reproach
in this respect. OF course the salt man
ufacturer favols the largest possible
use OF salt but the dairyman's chief
object should be quality rather than
quality in salt. The large export trade
IN 6s4tter, particularly in England and
5he continent mill never be built up
until the eculiarities OF that market
Regarding Il reduced quantity of salt In
butter are catered to.

Timothy Hay.

One farm product that is bringing a
good price this year is timothy hay.
Many farmers would be able to sell at
least two-thirds of all they raised If
they had saved their corn fodder.
Horses and cattle will winter as well
on good corn fodder as on hay. and
most farmers know it, yet many did
not cut a shock Of corn. This simply
shows lack Of business sagacity.
have noticed that when crops are good
and bring good prices many farmers
become improvident and allow great
deal of valuable material to go to waste
if it happens to be a little difficult to
handle. They fail to improve their
financial condition when they have the
opportunity.
Those who never fail to utilize these
materials accumulate a surplus, and q
period Of low prices or an unpropitious
season occasions them little or no wor-
ry or trouble. 1t is not alone the fac
ulty of raising good crops that makes
successful farmers, but the ability and
energy to utilize all to the best adyan-
tage. I think the day will soon come
when farmers will save their corn fod-
der as carefully as they now do their
hay. 1t is more than likely that ere
long we will have factories that will
call for the thick, heavy portion of the
stalk from the ear to the root Then
the upper part-that which is richest
in food elements-can easily be cut and
stored, says a Farm and Fireside
writer.

Fan Rustlng of wheat.

1t may be useful to call the attention
of wheat growers to the rusting of
wheat during the very warm weather
Of the present fall This is conspicuous
on early sown wheat, which may in
some instances owe most of it's chang
ed appearance yellow COLOR to the
rust rather than to the attacks of the
Hessian fiy. We find this rust. which
is the red or uredo stage (the black
stage or teleuto spores not occurring.
SO far as we know, on living wheat in
the fail, very abundant at the expert
ment station upon the early sown
wheat, especially upon very early plots
where dates of sowing are tested. Up
on the later plots there is diminished
amount, grading off somewhat accord
ing to the relative earliness or the rela-
tive proximity to the earliest and most
affected wheat. That the same condi-
tion is attested by observations report
ed by the entomologist and his assist
ant and by others. In this connection
it may be stated that the Puccinia ru-
bigo vera, or usual wheat rust, can live
over winter in this uredo stage In the
wheat plant which may become affect
ed in the fall, writes Professor A. D.
Selby to Ohio Farmer

How to- Care FOR Eyebrosrs.

The toilet of the eyebrows is simple.
The hair of the -.crTs can be

we read of so often, by the aid Of a
tiny little brush manufactured for the
purpose and for sale at all shops deal

the eyebrows are too broad and in

The Legun,es.

Representatives of the legume fam
lily are found in all climates and coun-
tries. The pea and bean grow rapidly.
three to four months being sufficient to
bring most varieties to maturity, and
consequently they can be grown in the
short summers of far northern lands,
the pea, the most hardy of them, at
least as far as CT degrees north lati-
tude, and, as they also stand high tenn
peratures, they are all largely cultivat-
ed in tropical and subtropical regions.
The pea is the favorite legume of mid
die and northern Europe. while in the
Mediterranean countries the bean is
grown more ge lerally than the pea.
In nearly all sections of our own coun-
try both the pea and bean are grown
extensively and are even exported. Pea
nuts of superior quality. are cultiyat-
ed in our southern states So far as
can be learned, the lentil is at present
grown in this country only to small
extent in the southwestern portion of
the United States.

OF all the industries Of the state, t /
industries that have the assurance {
being permanent, there is none tina
figures out nicer on paper than sheer
raising. Assuming that the wool will
pay for the keep Of the sheep and that
the lamb will bring from $1.50 to So
per head, this is a handsome profit on
an investment Of So to $3.50. the price
of nice thrifty young eve. But pre-
Stunning that these figures are above
what we can count on as an average 1t
is fair to presume that lambs will not
go below SIPS, which were panic
prices. In assuming that the wool will
pay the cost of keeping we are not fig
uring on 10 cent wool Now, assum-
ing that the wool paid the keep of the
sheep in the days Of the panic, it is
fair to presume that it will overpay
now, but we assume that taken as an
average of ten years in the business it
is safe only to calculate on the wool
paying the sleeps way. And we are
willing to place the low ebb of the
lamb crop at $1.25 per head. No one
can say that this is overestimatIng the
value Of lambs, for as long as beef
keeps up to $3.50, which 1t will be re-

The sweet Potnto Crop.

In the south Atlantic states the sweet
potato crop, according to government
statistics, suffered from lack of mois-
ture and, except in Georgia, the yield
per acre in those states is below the ten
year average. The yield in Tennessee
corresponds exactly with the average
of the last ten years. and in all the 9th
er states In which sweet potatoes are
grown on commercial scale condi-
tons have been favorable and large
yields are reported, Tazas reporting 98
bushels per acre. as compared with a
ten year average of 10 bushels, and
New Jersey 1876 bushels per acre as
compared with ten year average Of
103 bushels.

MAIDS OF HONOR.


Duties of the DamseIs Who Wait ON
the Queen.
Few Americans know anything about
the duties of a maid of honor-I mean
a maid Of homer to royalty-and the
prevailing impression among these few
is that the maids are content to wait
upon the queen all their lives and bask
in the sunshine of her royal presence
without thought of man or marriage
in other words, that the maids are old
maids. The foundation for this popu-
lar belief no doubt arises from the
strict rules to which the maids are
obliged to submit while on duty. Per-
haps these restrictions are remnant
of the old bad days of the Stuarts or
the vulgar times of the early Hanove-
rians, but there is no doubt that the
maids are very sharply looked after.
No male, not even male relation, can
obtain admission to the suit of apart
ments allotted to these young ladies'.
However, their months term of service
comes only three times a year, so the
rest of the time they may be as gay as
they please. Indeed maid of honor
has every chance Of marrying well, and
there are only one or two who have
served more than ten years.
The salary is f300, and the duties are
very light, consisting mainly in wait
ing on the queen and seeing to the COM
fort of royal visitors. No doubt in the
early days of her majesty's married
life the maids had hard time of it,
when, except by her command, they
were not allowed to sit in the presence
Of the prince consort or address any re-
mark to him. Chivalry had SO far gone
that the maids Of honor were expected
to open the door for him, which is sad
to think of. But the hardest thing the
queen ever had to do was to get people
to recognize her husbands position.
There are eight maids of honor, and,
although they are not all peers daugh-
tiers, they have either peer for grand
father or a peerless or daughter of a
peer for grandmother. They are all
entitled to be called honorable" 1t is
useless to say that the position is ex-
Allied and one eagerly sought after.
