The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

DAIRY OBSERVATIONS.
the Butter Are Two Duties That
Cannot BE Neglected

That we may have a first-class ar
ticle of butter it is not only neces-
sary to have good milk to start with,
but every part of the manipulation
from beginning to end must be done
just about right. The elusive element
in butter is flavor, and with strict
ly pure milk to begin with flavor is
chiefly dependent upon proper ripen-
ing. Where there is a lack of acid
the butter is apt to have a fiat taste,
and when the acidity has been al
lowed to run too high, sourness is
likely to appear. l find there are
comparatively few butter-makers
who test for acid. Too many of them
depend upon their sense of sight,
smell and taste to determine when
the proper degree of ripeness has
been reached, the same as many but
ter-makers, years past, tried the tenn
perature of the cream with the finger
instead of thermometer. It is
probable that the time is not far dis
tant when it will be as common to
test for acid as it now is for tenn
perature, and when they use exact
methods they will soon reach a point
where they will know exactly how
far ripening should be carried.
good deal is being said and writ.
ten about working butter. In some
instances there has been so much
sad about overworked butter that
makers have gone to the other ex-
IRENE and do not work enough.
Those for whom butter is made de-
sire a condition of the article that is
only secured by proper working. Too
much of this working is injurious,
while too little is defective.
In making good butter there are
several conditions dependent on or
brought about by working. There
should be a certain measure of CO.
hesion among the particles of butter,
enough to cause it to adhere to-
gether in one mass, or, rather. il
should be waXy and compact without
being sticky or greasy.
An undue amount of moisture in
butter renders it defective and when
butter is taken from the churn more
water adheres to the particles of
granules than is desirable. This ex-
cess is taken out by working, and
too little of this leaves too much
moisture in the butter while too much
working causes the butter to be too
drv.
Where the salt is not thoroughly
worked through the butter. the
product will show streaks and mot
ties when cut. This is a serious de-
feet. and means a lower price for the
goods whenever found. This condi-
ton can be overcome by working and
mingling the lighter parts with the
mass till the salt is evenly distribute
ed, and all becomes one common
shade.
The proper working of butter is an
important matter and means money
to the maker. and it is the maker
who gets all these conditions the
nearest right who secures the high
est score and takes the prizes.-V.

loosen and fall out. 1t should be
constructed with sloping sides as
shown in cut, so that the animals
can reach the food in all the corners
and clean them out. Adhering food
decays and sours and pollutes the
box to the injury of animals. The
edges both on top and bottom should
be "armored," as shown, so that
there is no chance to bite and gnaw
the wood. Such box will last for
years and is good in the horse stable

DON'TS FOR THE DAIRY.

Don't ruin fine dairy calf by mis-

it should grow, and your COW will be a
JOY forever.
Don't think that pedigree makes the
dairy COW. Some of our best records
we're made by animals without record
ed ancestry of any breed.
Don't be in too big hurry at any
milking to get the last stripping. The
enly way to keep COW at her best Is
to get it all at every milking.

MOST people think that catarrh is a
IVl disease confined to the head and nose.
Iva Nothing is farther from the truth. Ii
may be that the nose and throat is the oft
enest affected by catarrh but if this is so it is
so only because these parts are more ex-
posed to the vicissitudes of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity OF
the human body is liable to catarrh. A mul-
titude of ailments depend on catarrh. This

Gen. John 3. Gordon has issued cir
cular to the Confederate camps that
contains more gallantry than discre.
ton. He advises every camp to have
sponsor and as many maids of honor
as may be desired, but with the dis
tinct understanding that the reunion
committee at Memphis will entertain
and provide for one sponsor and one
maid of honor from general department
and division headquarters, as the ex-
pense would be too great" etc.
There are SO many sponsors and
maids of honor at the reunions the dis
tinction of being so selected has been
much discounted. Several camps, at
Louisville, could do but little else than
look after their sponsors and maids Of
honor. The expense is something, and
whether large or small, could be better
used in helping some old veteran to go
who cannot raise the money to pay
railroad fare. We believe in the girls.

place for all things. If we are to have
