or seeing the Tavern and thas
very spot where the Tea Party was
held.
In a few days the tavern will b.
closed and the contractors will begin
the work Of tearing down the famous.
old building, to erect on its site an ex'
tension of an office building about,
which there will cluster no sentiment
and no historic associations.
John Hancock, the first signer O
the Declaration Of Independence, was
the friend and patron of John Duggan,
the original owner Of the tavern. When
Hancock was elected In 1880 as the
first governor of Massachusetts,, Dug
gan changed the name of his house.
which was then Coles Inn, to the
Hancock Tavern, and 1t has since re-
tanned that name.
The walls Of the Tea room are ema
bellished with pictures of the first CON.
ference and of the patriots rowing out
to the ships in the harbor, and also OF
their throwing the chests Of tea over
board. These pictures were painted
on the walls nearly n hundred years
ago., and were done by nc mean an
fist. As they are on the solid walls
they will utterly disappear when the
building Is torn down. An effort, was
made to save them, but an examina
ton showed that the sections Of the
walls on which the pictures appear
could not be removed intact, and the
historical eociofios which tried tn SayH
them have given up the attempt.

Temperature in Cream Ripenins.
Oscar Err: In the ripening Of
Dream we prefer to separate cream
very rich, about 30 to IS per cent, and
thin, down to Is per cent, with . clean
favored starter. Theoretically We as.
sumo that the more Of the tainted
skimmilk we can get out Of the cream
and replace 1t, with q starter, the bet
ter results we will have. This plan
bears out we'll in practice. A certain
temperature for ripening cream seems
ito have little effect on the flavor. pro-
:vided the cream is ripened above GO
degrees and below 80 degrees F. The
ripening is. however. much fastened
by high temperature. A satisfactory
temperature is from 65 degrees to 20
degrees for summer, and from 70 de-
grees to 80 degrees for Writer. The
cream should be stirred occasionally
during the rlpening process. This Is
essential for several reasons. It
aerates the cream, insures eyenness In
ripening, prevents the surface from
.drying-which Is n Of the causes Of
notified butter-and furnishes free
oxygen to aerobic germs. which seem
to play a part in the ripening process.

bed reclaimed without great labor.
Such loss of land can be prevented
to a great extent by the proper use of
willows upon the banks. Willows have
a natural affinity for stream banks.
They do little damage to adjacent
fields, since their shade is not intense;
their root system is deep in the soil;
and some species by their peculiar
habits draw their water mainly from
the streams. Their root system is very
unusual. 1t forms a dense and ex-
tensive mass just at the waters edge,
and no matter how deeply submerged
or how much washed, the tree remains
securely anchored and thrives. An
other advantage which willows possess
Over most trees is the rapidity with
which they grow. Venerable looking
willows are often young.
Willows are easily planted. A branch
Of any size put into a stake and driven
into the ground, in the spring or fall,
will root and grow rapidly. Willows
with fragile twigs propagate them
selves in much the same way. The
best species to plant for this purpose
is Salix abb or some Of its several
varieties. 1t forms the most compact
and extensive root masses and grows
in any soil. Other species will serve
the purpose, especially the arborescent
species, but as q retainer Of stream
banks the white willow is the MOST
eficient.-American Agriculturist.

The silo For the sheep Farm.

The use Of ensilage for winter feed
ing of sheep is becoming more and
more the practice among successful
shepherds. and many who have used
it claim that 1t is just as valuable for
sheep as for dairy cows, says 3. P.
Smith. It is in all probability the
cheapest food tnat We can give to fat
tening wethers or breeding ewes The
III important point about it for ewes
is that it must be absolutely free from
all faint. If spoiled in the least bit
the ewes refuse it. If properly cured
and sweet they will eat it as eagerly
as they will fresh grass. Their en-
joyment of 1t is no more noticeable
than their apparent nourishment from
its use. Sometimes at first the ewes
will not take kindly to ensilage, but in
a short time they can be induced to
eat it. Then they acquire a taste
for it, and there is no further trouble.
Other food should be given to weth-
ers fattening for market, and when a
proper mixture Of ensilage, corn fod-
der and a little whole grain is fed
them daily, they do better than if kept
on grain alone. One may arrange this
mixture a good deal according to the
amount Of either on hand, but the en-
silage should occupy a prominent part
in the ration.
High-grade sheep can be safely fed
ensilage as well as the common stock,
but 1t should not be given in too great
quantities. especially at first. Two OF
three pounds Of ensilage a day should
suffice, and in with it there should be
mixed about a pound of hay. II grain
is also to be fed bran and oats make
h best mixture. These given with
hay and ensilage make a pretty com,
plete fattening ration. If one increases
the amount of grain fed, the hay and
ensilage should be decreased in guam
tity proportionately. A ration that ha,
been proven successful for fattenine
high-grade wethers or ewes is com
posed OF half a pound Of bran or oatt
daily. and one pound of hay and twt
OF ensilage. The results are prett,
sure to be satisfactory in every partic
ular.
