When buying Orchard Treen

An Illinois orchardist says: When
you wish to start an orchard, go to
the nearest nurseryman you have con-
fidence in, who grows the trees him.
self, not one who purchases from 9TH
ers; the latter / do not call nursery
man, he is a tree merchant Do not 90
to nurseryman who advertises a
great many high-priced novelties or
wonders On general principles it is
safe to let him alone. Almost every
person who has written an article on
fruit growing has warned you against
the tree peddler. Still, this warning
is SO little needed it seems necessary
to sound the alarm all the time. Do
not buy of any agent unless you know
him to be all right and the agent of
some reliable nursery. Nine times out
of ten money paid to these unknown
agents is worse than thrown away.

FARM CHEESE PRESS.

ms table; upon this plank is a
cheese hoop with a cheese inside to
be pressed; above this is stout
strip (2x4) with ends resting in NOR
tises cut in the uprights; this strip
should be five or six feet in length;
under it, in the center, is a block
which rests upon a round follower
the exact size of the cheese to be
pressed. The power is furnished by
the eccentrics, or arms, which are
merely levers with unequal circular
ends; these work on a bolt which
pierces the circle near the top; to
the ends of the arms fasten strings,
which are tied to the side of the table
to maintain the pressure. When
the cheese is placed in the hoop, the
follower and block adjusted, by pull,
ling down on the eccentrics a pres.
sure of any required degree is APP
piled unon the cheese. Both the
board and strip being elastic, the
pressure is maintained as long as
required.-Jacob Harper, in Epi-

Mr.. George Ethelbert Walsh writes
IN Casters Engineering Magazine
that in building up the commerce
of the great lakes at first safety was
sacrificed to cost; the reason being
that the precautions necessary for
ocean voyages was not needed for ves-
sells engaged in the lake trade. The

LAKE FREioHTeR AFTER WINTER TRIP.

mistake was discovered very soon,
and builders and owners agreed on
the construction of practically ocean
going carriers for use on the tenn
pestnous inland seas. Mr.. Walsh re-
ports that 30 per cent. of the vessels
being built in the Lake Superior ship
yards in the spring of 1898 were prac-
ucally ocean-going craft; and adds
that insurance men and ship owners
are constantly figuring on the con-
struction of vessels and steamers
that will be even more seaworthy
than those recently built.
Mr.. Walsh calls TO miad the mot
ley procession that has passed over
these lakes. The Indian padding his
fragile canoe along shore; the slooo
and schooner of later years; then the
large wooden briggs; to-day the steel
freighters and the passenger steam
ers, great floating hotels. But to-day,
as in the day of the Indian and the
canoe, the skipper must be a man of
courage and experience, must bear
on his shoulders heavy responsible
ity.
If al the mysteries of the lakes
could be disclosed, what a tale thew
might tell! Vessels have left lake
ports and no vestige of them ever re-
turned, ever been discovered. They
have been swallowed up utterly by
the waters that perhaps not long
after the tragedies showed a most
innocent, inviting surface. Every Sc
we're storm on the lakes is attended
with great disaster to the shipping.
and the weather mans signals mean
not a little to those employed in
service on these waters. In the last
decade there have been fewer acct
dents in proportion to the number of
vessels in use, but there are still too
many.
The extensive lake navigation ia
practically closed in winter but con-
siderable late fall traffic is continued
often at great risk; for the sake of
filthy lucre the risk being assumed in
the face of well-recognized danger.
Greed also accounts for the over
loading of the freighters, more of
which is noted in the lake than in the
ocean carriers; although the biz
yards that sweep over the northwest
raise tumult in the lake waters
that the stormy Atlantic cannot
easily outrival. Another danger en-
countered on the lakes is the shall.
lowness natural to certain localities,
and many a good lake vessel has not
only had hole stove in her because
OF unknown rocks, but also many a
one has come to grief on account Of
the shoals.

MANAGING MILK COWS.
Much of the Dairyman's Success with
His Stock Depends on Careful,
Regular Milking.

wish to give you few hints on
milking cows. The farm hand who
knows how to milk properly is more
valuable to the careful dairymap than
any other help. To milk a cow re-
quires time and patience. The milk
should be drawn slowly and steadily
Some COWS have very tender teats,
and if you want a well-disposed cow,
be gentle in your treatment toward
her, as she is naturally Impatient and
does not like rough handling. With
constant irritation she will fail in
quantity of milk AS the udder be-
comes filled with milk she is anxious
TO be relieved of it's contents and will
seldom offer resistance without
cause. When patient cow becomes
fractions we can always trace it to
the mixer. Note this: We should
not allow them to stand long time
waiting to be MIXED. When cows
give large quantity of milk it is
very painful when the udder has
hlled to the utmost therefore causing
them to become very nervous and
restless. To delay milking at the
proper time will do more to cause
p cow to go dry before her period
than anything else. She should also
be MIXED to the last drop, if pos
sible, for the last portion of milk is
said to be the richest. Still another
point: There are many ways of con-
Quoting a dairy. Among these are:
Wholesome food, such as wheat bran
cottonseed meal. Always be careful
to keep the COWS well sailed. pro-
tected from bad weather, giving kind
handling, careful milking, regular
feeding, clean stabling, good ventila-
ton and plenty of pure water. In
some sections we have what. is called
bitter weed, which cows are fond of,
causing the milk TO become so much
affected that it is hardly fit for use.
1 find that by giving the cow about
two tablespoonfuls of sugar at each
meal for two or three days the milk
rs entirely relieved of the bitter
taste.-Barnum' Midland Farmer.

HANDY RACK FOR SCREENS.

one inch square, the length depend
ing on the size of the strips used OF
the thickness of the screen frames.
Strips should be one-fourth to one
half inch square and little longer
than the screens. Fasten the strips
to the end pieces with one-half or
three-fourth-inch screws. Attach the
two sides of the rack together by
four strips about one inch square, as
shown in the figure. Mark the
screens on one end. The rack may
be stored away and completely COW
cred up, but if one end is exposed
with the screens properly marked
they can be easily gotten.-J. G. Ais

Loss of Life in Navigating
the Great Lakes
THE OCEAN SEAMAN DOES NOT REALIZE THE
DANGERS THAT BESET HIS INLAND BROTHERS,

A THIS season of the year
.EN, those that live on the
MAN shores of our great inland
INK seas wonder, as they look
upon the stormy waters
tossing and foaming and
churning most tremendously far as
the eye can see, how fares it with the
brave men that even in these cruel
December winds are battling with
the lakes. Anxiously, after some I'M
usually heavy storm, the papers are
scanned, and as one reads of won
derful escapes upon Lake Superior,
that great, deep sea that never gives
up her dead, one thinks the DAVIS of
miracles not yet over; and when one
reads, as one does not infrequentIy,
of brave commander the last to
leave his doomed vessel, one thrills
that the days of heroism and heroes
are still with us.
L have been told many a sailor, and
many an officer, that leads the haz-
ardous life of lake mariner, is
what may be called superstitious;
that they are given to the consulting
of spiritualist mediums, clairvoyants,
and such, and one at all familiar with
the perils that surround these men
does not feel like ridiculing them.
There are moments when certainly
other than mans aid seems most
needful, and it may be the belief in
powers occult or supernatural helps
often when hopelessness would weak
en- the courage and make powerless
the arm.
And yet, looking over statistics of
the wrecks on or near the coast, pub
hshed in the annual report of the

The COIOrIng OF Butter.

Since butterine is sold under its
natural color the makers of winter
butter have found the lack of color
in their product somewhat detri-
mental to its sale or imagine they
have so found. Some are advocating
coloring all the butter to resemble
June butter and thus distinguish il
from butterine. This is a point of
not so much value as some might
suppose. There is not the same rea-
son for coloring butter uniformly as
there was to color butterine to re-
semble butter. Yellow butterine was
sold for butter. White butteriue is
not sold for butter, and is not likely
70 be. Even the whitest of butter
does not look like butterine. We do
not attach much Importance to the
question of coloring butter, and be-
lieve the less color used the better
