THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Rsnson'S Plaster is Pains Master

From the natural impulse to ssput sone-
thing on painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been pouI-
tices or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster
No other has anything like the Same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season Of suffer-
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of b snsor's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people OF every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlativo merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists Of this country have declared
them worthy Of public confidence
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
Jfty.tige highest awards

Honey n Health Food.

Some farmers are in the habit of sell
ing off all the best of anything raised,
letting the family worry along with
the leayings. 1t is pleasant to believe
that in many cases honey forms an OK
ception. that the farmer with two or
three colonies of bees does not think Of
selling any of the honey but leaves it
all in the hands OF the good wife to do
with when and how she will. Very wise
indeed is such a farmer. Indeed if he
is wise enough he will have honey on
the table daily. even though he should
be obliged to buy it. says writer in
American Bee Journal.
1t is for the health to use honey.

that the average man, woman and
child of the American nation consumes
more than pound of sugar every week
of life? Some more than that: some
less. More than IL pound week is the
average. Before the sugar can be
worked into flesh and blood it must be
changed from cane sugar to grape sug-
ar. When too much of this work is

The use of honey satisfies this crav-
ing for sweet without the dangers that
attend the use of sugar. The sugar in

about 300 pounds a year If half of
that or even 100 pounds were replaced

Winter Buffer.

You cannot produce first class winter
butter unless you churn often, says
George e. Newell in The American Gull
tivator.
To churn every other day is better
than once in three days, while to put it
off till every fourth day is execrable
practice, and yet vast amount of but
ter manufactured on the latter plan is
marketed every winter, much to the
disgrace of the dairy trade.
1t is found primarily in country
stores, where it has been exchanged by
small dairymen at second rate price
for groceries.
The tradesmen ship it in lots to the
city market, where all the way through,
whether it ends in the larder of ba-
ker or on the table of the poor work
ingman, it is cIassed as inferior and
cells for low price.
And yet the original material from
which this butter was made was as
good as that which is employed in turn
ing out the % and 80 cent article.
The inferiority of quality and conse-
quent loss to dairymen follows because
they ignore the right principles of but
ter making.
Suppose that farmer after raising
a fine crop of potatoes and digging
them, should allow the tubers to lie a
day or two in the sun before storing
them in the root cellar? Could he ex-
pect to sell the green, bitter vegetables
for full market quotations? Most GER
tainly not and even the most obtuse
are thoroughly well aware of this fact.
And yet those who use common sense
in this respect with inconceivable folly
will spoil good cream and butter by
wanton neglect. as outlined above.
This could all be obviatcd by churn.
ing cream when it is fresh and pure
i. e., slightly matured. but not bitter
and manufacturing it into butter ac-
rording to modern principles.
Cream should all be secured from the
milk in at least "a hours, and then the
cream should be matured and churned
within the next a.
This can be done usually by keeping
It at temperature of between go and
20 degrees.
It is where cream is kept at near 40
degrees and for several Gays that it de-
yelops that bitter favor rainous to
butter quality.

INTERESTING INDUSTRY.
American Enterprise Utilizes tn,
Wire Grass of the Northwest.

American Enterprise Utilities the
Wire Grass of the Northwest.
Peat boys and marshes that produce
wire grass cover vast areas throughout
the northwest Only a few of these
areas have as yet been surveyed, but
there are at least 100000 acres of
these apparently worthless marshes
scattered through Minnesota and Wis
consin and stretching away into enor-
nous areas through the Canadian
northwest.
This wire grass (Carex stricta) differs
from the true grasses in having a solid
stem and in having no lateral leaves.
The plant is almost entirely devoid of
mineral substances, like the soil or peat
upon which it grows; therefore wire
grass is pithy and tough, is not brittle,
but u.s. in fact, peculiarly strong, du-
rable and workable fiber.
1t is less than five years ago that
really practical efforts were begun to
utilize this unlimited supply of fiber, al
though for several years previous at
tempts had been made in this direction,
but without definite results.
Growing as it does in waste places,
wire grass shoots up early and grows
rapidly and is usually ready for har-
vest from July to September. Wire
grass is harvested much like wheat. In
the early harvest a self ralling reaper
is used. which lays the grass in gavels.
fnr oil, nd
is then gathered by special machines.
Later, when the grass is not so succu-
lent, it is cut with an ordinary self
binder and bound into bundles like
wheat In both cases the grass is al
ways kept straight and untangled. Aft
er curing it is put into great stacks or
sheds, protected from rain and snow.
Here the grass goes through the sweat
or ordinary curing process. when it is
baled into large bales averaging about
200 pounds in weight. These bales are
hauled to large warehouses at conven-
lent shipping points on rivers or rail
roads, from which the grass is deliver
cd as required to the various factories.
AS described by American Agricul-
turist. in which the foregoing items oc-
cur. the harvest is conducted on an inn
mense scale. The area harvested last
year by one firm was larger than the
acreage harvested by any individual or
corporation in America if not in the
world. Over 1000 men and nearly as
many horses are employed. The past
season Is permanent camps were run
ming. each with its separate cook and
commissary department to feed and
house the foremen, harvesting crews,
horses and machinery. Each camp has
from go to POO men. with stables f II as
many horses.
The grass is made into binder twine,
bottle covers. ropes. mating. calpct
Innings. rugs, wall hangings. wicker
work. furniture, etc.

HOW to Looscn GLASS stonnera

There are several ways of loosening
the glass shoppers of decanters and
bottles. One is to stand the bottle in
hot water, another is to drop a little
oil with a feather between the stopper
and the decanter and stand it near the
fire. After time strike the stopper
gently with a piece of wood on all
sides, and if it does not move repeat
the process. a strip Of flannel or wool
wound around the neck of the bottle
and smartly pulled back and forward
to produce friction will sometimes
loosen shoppers.
