carpets, domestic ware, kitchen
utensils and other articles of use
and value. and these different artic-
les are to be sold cheap, from a pen

which would sweep over the i'm
mediate surface of the land It's
limbs are tough, so that when loaded
with ice they will bend to the ground
and when freed by the sunshine will
return to the original position with
but little breakage. I call the will
low the pioneer tree. Sometimes
when I think of tree growing as
warfare, which it is, against drouth
and wind, I liken the willow to the
picket line Of our resisting army.
In brief the successful tree culture
about our farm stead should be as
follows: First, the row of willows:
second, within this space leave an
area of about two rods to receive
the drifting SHOWS l call this
space snow storage. Third, another
row Of willows. Fourth, another
space OF two rods for additional
snow storage and for a turning
ground for cultivating the trees iu
the interior. Fifth, desiduous trees
planted IN rows, about eight feet
apart, these trees to be divided into
two classes-one the short lived
tree like the European birch and
Russian poplar, the elm and oak
(started with acorn) to be inter
spersed with the plan of cutting out
the short lived trees in process Of
time and leaving the land to be
occupied with the elm and the oak.
Other trees will be added to the list
undoubtedly and we think that the
blackberry will be one of the perma-
nent trees to be associated with elm
and oak. Sixth, the box elder is the
tree OF all trees to make forest con
dition. By forest condition we mean
the shaded ground which forbids the
evaporation of moisture and adds
leaf mould. In order to make the
best OF the box elder we should
plant them along with the short
lived trees frequently, cut the tops
back, make the growth to 90 to the
side limbs and let the long
lived trees and the other shortlived
trees go above them. This is the
latest thought in tree culture we
have in forming a forest condition.

he creamery and skim milk from

the creamery and skim milk from
it should be cleaned as soon as they
arrive home Rinse first the cans
in cold or luke warm water; then
wash with scalding water, using a
good brush and some washing
powder; then rinse thoroughly with
boiling water. The cans should
then be turned upside down for a
minute or two to let them drain.
Then stand them up and do not
cover. tight.
After milking is completed the
milk should be removed from the
stable and aerated. This can be
done by pouring the milk back and
forth from one can to another or BY
use of an aerator and in a place
where there is plenty of fresh air.
The milk is then placed in cold we'll
water or better still, ice water.
The cans shonld not be covered
tight while the milk is cooling It
is q very good scheme to stir the
milk occasionally while it is cooling
and never mix warm and cold milk
together IF all the patrons of
creameries could only realize the
difference in milk: handled in this
way and the milk handled ia the
ordinary way, I am sure there is
not one who would not make the
change. The bacteria that are now
so plentiful in our milk would be
much reduced. It is Of course neees-
sary to have certain kinds of
bacteria in milk, but the kind we
want comes through cleanliness and
careful handling of milk. The in
furious bacteria come through filth
and Indifference Of the patron to
care for his milk.
The cans should be covered with
blankets going to the creamery, a
dry blanket in winter and wet
one IN summer. The blanket in
summer prevents the cans from
heat and dust and keeps the cans
cleaner going to and from the cream
cry, consequently making the cans
easier to wash. If these points that
4 have given are observed Iamsure
Minnesota butter would have much
higher standard.

CARE OF MILK FOR CREAMERY.
Mr.. Glover Gives Advice from Standpoint
of Practical Experience.

In his remarks upon the care of
milk to be sent to the creamery Mr..
Glover stated that there was no sub
ject more important to the patrons
of creameries. It is as easy to pro
duce good, wholesome milk as it is
to produce milk that smells of the
barn and is full of all kinds Of for
eign materials. In order to produce
good, clean milk we must begin bv
bedding the cows so asto keep them
clean, and if there be any dirt upon
the COW S udder or flank it should
be removed by a brush or by wash
ing before starting to milk. There
is no reason why every farmer can
not have brush handy by and use
it when it is needed. The milking
is done with dry hands. In the
first place it is very dirty trick to
keep dipping the fingers in the
milk to keep them moist and during
the whole milking period have drops
|of milk fall from the hands back
into the milk pail again, and sec
ondly, the wetting Of the fingers
does not facilitate milking. This
method Of milking is only a habit
and very filthy one to say the
least.
The milk should be strained as
soon as each COW is MIXED. A
strainer should be made SO the
milk will pass through wire gauze
and several thieknesses of cheese
cloth. The wire gauze will catch
the hairs and longer pieces Of dirt,
but the cheese cloth will catch
everything that does not dissolve il
the milk and reveals to the mixer
how dirty he has been.
When mixers are beginning to
prepare for milking they should see
that the milk cans in which the
milk is to be strained are clean.

Howard Shippers, Shot by His Brother,
Dies of His Injuries.
Elkton, Md, April IL. -Howard
Shippers, the Sugars old son OF Calvin
Shippers, who was shot at his hume,
near Appleton, on Wednesday, died at
an early hour this morning. Coroner
Perry Litzinberg summoned jury and
held an inquest.
The home Of the Shippers is a cabin
between Appleton and Strahorn's mills,
and during the absence of both father
and mother or Wednesday morning last
the shooting occurred. All that Is
known of the tragedy was what little
could he gathered from the conflicting
testimony OF the boys eldest sister at
the coroner's inquest, the substance of
which was that about O'CLOCK on We'd
nesday morning Thomas Shippers. aged
7 years, came into the house, climbed
upon a chair and took down from the
wall of room on the first floor an old
army musket, which he carried irto the
yard and placed upon a stors box for
support while he took aim and pulled
the trigger. The load struck Howard
full in the face, knocking out his upper
teeth, tearing out the palate, cutting
the tonsils and injuring the throat so
that he could not swallow. The lad
was conscious at intervals and re-
peatedly remarked that he had been
shot by his brother Thomas. The fact
that the face OF the victim was peppered
win powder stains proved that the gun
was ut close range The wonder is that
tho boy was not instantly killed or
horribly mutilated. Sallie Shippers at
tho inquest was of the opinion that the
shooting was deliberate, stating that
Thomas was angered because Howard
refused to give him piece Of tobacco.
The coroner's jury rendered verdict
that 1.-THE deceased came to his death
from a gunshot wound at the hands of
Thomas Shippers. The lad escaped to
nearby woods and was not appre-
hended by Deputy Sheriff McA llister
until long after the inquest had closed.
When seen at the Jail tonight the boy
prisoner talked freely Of the shooting,
claiming that he. was prompted by his
sister to commit the act, as she was
angry at her mothers absence and
wished to bring her home. In con-
yersation with States Attorney Evans
the lad told him that he did not shoot
his brother, but that it was done by his
sister. The Shippers family is in very
poor circumstances. a 4f
