The Corn Crop.

The past season has emphasized the
value of the corn crop to New Eng
land farmers. 1t stood the drouth
we'll and returned a good lot of grain
and forage, where grass was light and
other crops failure. 1t is good at all
times and places for nearly all kinds
of stock. There is such thing as
feeding too much corn to young stock,
as many persons in the west have
done, but New England farmers do
not raise enough of it to make it an
exclusive food. The fodder will go a
ong way this year toward helping out
the haymows, while we'll filed crib
will save big cash outlay for high
priced grain.-Homestedd.

Obituary.

It is with genuine sorrow that We
notice in the death annals the passing
away of Miss Mary A. Scott of Crafts
bury, Jan. 5, aged 40 years.
We hoped to see in our column a
full obituary of her beautiful life and
character by some one more intimate
ly acquainted with her than ourselves.
When meeting her from time to time
in our annual county conventions, we
have been impressed with her quiet
modest department, her strong char
acter and earnest devotion to
principle. At our last convention
Coventry she was elected county
secretary. She earnestly pro tested,
the convention overruled her objec
tions, and she tearfully accepted.
She knew her physical weakness bet
ter than we: had she given that as
reason of her inability to take this
additional care and labor, we must
have released her. She was willing to
do what she could. In the passing of
her who has long been a patient de-
voted worker in our ranks we feel we
are much impoverished, but the rich
legacy of her faithful life is bequeath-
ed to all who knew and low ed her.
May her mantle fall on other workers
who will as worthily wear it. She
was loved in life and honored in
death. A. B. OWEN.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE FOR
THE BOY?

The question is asked US, "Where a
boy has worked for his father on the
home farm until he is Of age what the
father should do for him?' From a
legal standpoint the father has the
right to the sons service until the boy
is twenty-one years old and is under
no legal obligation to do anything for
him. The father can tell the boy that
his time is up and that he can now
shift for himself. Some old scads do
this, and they never should have been
given a good boy. The best way is
for the father to encourage the boy
to begin acquiring a little property
four or five years before he comes of
age and which if properly attended to
will give the boy at twenty one enough
done, the boy is surely entitled to
small share of the farm property,
which his labor has aided in accumu-
lating. It never hurts boy to rough
it and commence life in small way.
On the other hand, it is usually the
best thing which can happen to him,
for he then learns wisdom by expert
ence, but the father if at all able SO to
do should be willing to extend will
ing and helping hand to the son who
has faithfully worked on the old farm
until he is of age. IF you have just
such boy, you do just as you would
like to be done by.-E1change.

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

OUR FARMERS.
WINTER-MADE BUTTER.

You cannot produce first class win
ter butter unless you churn often.
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
butter 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 a 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
or on the table of the poor working
man. it is classed as inferior and sells
for low price.
And vet the original material from
which this butter was made was as
good as that which is employed in
turning out the twenty five and thirty
cent article.
The inferiority Of quality and con-
sequent loss to dairymen follow be-
cause they ignore the right principles
of butter making.
Suppose that farmer after raising
a fine crop of potatoes and digging
them should allow the tubers to lie
day or two in the sun before storing
them in the root cellar? Gould he
expect to sell the green, bitter vege-
tables for full market quotations?
Most certainly not, and even the most
obtuse are thoroughly well aware OF
this fact.
And yet those who use common
sense in this respect with inconceiv-
able folly will spoil good cream and
butter by wanton neglect, as outlined
above.
1t is pretty costly neglect, too, as it
forfeits from eight to ten cents on
every pound of inferior butter.
This could all be obviated by churn-
ing cream when it is fresh and pure,
i. e., slightly matured, but not bitter,
and manufacturing it into butter ac-
cording to modern principles.
Cream should all be secured from
the milk in at least twenty four hours,
and then the cream should be matured
and churned within the next twenty
four.
This can be done usually by keeping
it at temperature of between sixty
and seventy degrees.
1t is where cream is kept at near
forty degrees, and for several days.
that it develops that bitter flavor
ruinous tobutter quality.-Americon

To Mothers of Large Families.

In this worladay world few women
are so placed that physical exertion
is not constantly demanded of them
in their daily life.
Mrs. Pinkham makes a special appeal
to mothers of large families whose
work is never done, and many of
whom suffer, and suffer for lack of
intelligent aid.

LADIES' COLUMN.
BEDS AND PILLOWS.

AS we pass almost one third of our
time in bed, it is desirable to have
comfortable one. Mattresses have
taken the place of feather beds in
some OF our city homes, but the latter
are still found in country places, and
are highly priced by their owners.
No mattress filling is so expensive as
horse hair, put they are very comfort
able and durable. The wool mattress
es usually sold contain fyings, scraps,
and even rags torn up and packed in.
They are usually quite comfortable at
first, but soon become hard, and I'M
less there are good springs under
them, they make a very poor bed.
Mattresses that are made in two parts
are preferable to full sized ones for a
large bed.
A feather bed that is in constant use
should be taken out of doors at least
once month, laid on the clothes line
or some other support, thoroughly
beaten with whip, and exposed to
the fresh air several hours. Choose
windy day and put them in shady
place, for if the sun shines on them it
is apt to draw the oil out of the feath-
ers and give them a disagreeable
smell.
An excellent plan for preserving
bed ticks from dust and dirt is to en-
close them in a, case of unbleached
muslin. Make this slip little larger
each way than the tick, and sew it up
on both sides and the top. Hem the
lower edge, work five buttopholes at
regular intervals on one side, and put
the buttons on the other side to cor
respond. This slip can be removed
and washed whenever needed, thus
keeping the bed clean. Cover the pill
lows in the same way, then put the
white muslin slip on and the stripes
of the ticking will not show through.
Bed ticks that are in constant use re-
quire thorough washing every year
or at most every two years. Empty
the feathers out into an old tick or
two large sacks, tying them securely
SO that none will escape. If the tick
ing is new do not fade the coloring by
boiling it but put it in a strong suds
made by dissolving Golddust washing
powder in hot water, allow it to soak
fifteen minutes, then rub in a washing
machine and pass through a wringer.
Prepare a second suds and pro-
coed in the same way, then rinse
through two clean waters, turn wrong
side out and hang up on strong line
to dry.
Good feathers are preferable to
anything else for pillows, but they
should not be 80 full as to be hard.
The elaborate pillow shams that were
in general use a few years ago are
seldom seen, and the clearly encased
pillows are considered prettier than
any other arrangement.-Am
