Mo Female ANGELS,

A minister on Long Island has de-
clared that there are no female angels

uience:
Most peoples Idea Of an angel Is
of beautiful, graceful. whiterobed

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, March FL
Mrs. A. l.. Smith OF this place, says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs.
Smith emphasizes her recommends.
ton by the following experience:
MY daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last week
and would then pass Off In a month
she would have the spells again At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow, even the whites
OF her eyes would be yellow.
THE doctors gave us no encour.
agement, they all said they could not
help her. After taking one box OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had
one bad spell or course, we contin.
ued the treatment until she had used
/ in all about a dozen boxes, and we
| still give them to her occasionally
when she is not feeling well. Dodd's
| Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain ant
sickness and insure a healthy, happy
future for them.

Screens in Creameries.

Screens are now being extensively
used in the creameries managed by
the most progressive creamery men.
commissioner in one of our western
states makes report on whether
screens are used in the factories. AS
yet no totals are possible, but the fact
that the inspectors are asking about
this practice will naturally call the
attention of creamery managers to it,.
The reports are published in the bull.
letins, and the reports get back to the
creamery men by way of the press.
This should be a strong incentive to
Improvement along this line.
The fly is not only a carrier of dis.
case, but he is also a carrier of filth
in many forms. 1t is surprising that
all creameries and cheese factories
have not been long since provided
with screens. Flies gather by thou.
sands wherever there is a Creamerg
or cheese factory and literally swarm
over the butter, cheese and into the
milk and cream. The writer remem.
bers beins in first-class dairy school
where flies were altogether too nu
merous for comfort. Here and there
they were to be seen swimming in
the cream or buttermlk. In brick
cheese" factory visited by the writer
liies were present by the thousands
and were continually falling into the
hot whey and being pressed with the
cheese. The men did nothing to pre-
vent this. It may he assumed tina
they thought that il the proprleto,
cared nothing about it, there was nj
reason for them to worry over thu
outcome, even If the flies did reach
| final tomb in the pressed cheese.

SERVED AS MESSENGER BOY.
Congressman Hardwick Mistaken for
One of the House Pages.

Congressman Hardwick, the boyish-
looking man from Georgia, has had
the experience that has befallen other
youthful statesmen. He was stand
ing close to the speakers desk one day
when one of the reading clerks, mis-
taking him for page, said: Run and
bring me that paper that is lying on
Gen. Grosvenor's desk" Smiling at
the clerks error, the Georgian did as
requested. Half an hour later the
chair recognized 1.-The gentleman from
Georgia" and to the surprise and
modification of the reading clerk, Mr.,
Hardwick, the beardless boy, who
had performed messenger duty a short
time previous, arose and delivered a
long speech on the race problem in the
south.

a Hard Question.

The following tale is told Of the
bishop of London. Having INDUCED
that precarious pastime of asking any
small boy or girl in the audience to
ask him a question, DR.. Ingram was
met by the following: Please, sir
why did the angels walk up and down
Jacobs ladder when they had wings?"
1t is sad to record that even the bish-
op OF London was driven to make the
usual humiliating and miserable es,
cape by returning, What little boy

Hope for Apple Growers.

Apple growers in recent years have
noticed largely increased damage by
the cooling moth. This pest appears
In the form of a small brownish moth
soon after the young apples have set.
It's eggs, laid on the side of the fruit
or even on the leaves, give rise to
tiny worms which enter the young
apples and develop into full grown
apple worms
The annual loss to apple growers
in the United States from this pest
alone is enormous. Such pest could
not long escape attention from the
scientific sleuths of the Experiment
Stations. These workers have tracked
1he beast to it's lair, watched its hab-
IT'S of life and devised weapons for
It's destruction.
A recent bulletin by the Della
ware Experiment Station shows that
nearly all damage by the codling
moth can be checked by spraying
with certain arsenical spray called
Disparene soon after the blossoms fall
from the trees Applied to trees
IL poisons the young insects in
infancy and prevents further damage
to the crop. 1t has also been found a
complete ard effective remedy for the
canker worm, curculio and other in
scots that attack orchards and work
great havoc herewith.
In his bulletin, Entomologist San
derson of the Delaware Station, gives
the result or a careful series of ex
periments in which he says, "Dispa
rene proved to be very much superior
to paris green, and destroyed a larger
percentage of codling moth larvae
than has ever been done in any SINH
lar experiment. One thing which
seems to me to make Disparene o
special value Is its adhesive quail
ties; in spite of very heavy rains 4
remained ON the trees all summer
The results which we secured from
Disparene were both surprising ant
gratifying"
Professor j. b. Smith, Entomologis
OF the New Jersey Experiment Sta
ton, adds his endorsement in thes
words, "Disparene has proved thor
ever used, My experience with
has been so satisfactory this year
have recommended it widely"
Fruit growers are to be congratr
lated that at last cheap and effec
tive remedy for the codling moth ha
been found. The free illustrate
pamphlet on Disparene put out by tn
Bowher Insecticide Company of Boz
ton and Cincinnati is mine of use
fui Information and should be in tn
hards of every progressive fruit grow
or. We understand the Missouri Va
ley Seed Company, st. Joseph, Mo
are now in a position to supply tn
western trade with Disparenc and tn
outlook is that through the general us
or this insecticide the apple crop
the middle west will be much large
and of better quality this year tina

Buying MIX by the Test.


Prof. II. A. Pearson, in an address
should be bought from the producers
on basis of it's fat content and its
sanitary condition; its value as
salable product depends upon these
two things. Everyone knows that
per cent milk is worth more than 3
per cent to the dealer, and milk that
has been carefully handled is worth
mons than that which has not Why
should not these two desirable fac
tors be paid for at fair rate? AL
most every argument in favor OF pay
ing for milk delivered TO a factory, on
fat basis, applies with equal force
to market milk and there are just
as strong arguments in favor of hav.
ing the value governed also by the
sanitary condition. The Babcock test
shows the fat content quickly aud ac'
curately. An occasional examination
Of the producing premises supple
mented by tasting and smelling the
milk when delivered and the simple
acid test or the fermentation test,
clearly shows the sanitary condition
OF the milk. A few milk buyers are
now pun chasing milk on the basis OF
it's fat content and, roughly we may
say, its sanitary condition. 1t is to
the dairymen's own interest to have
this practice extended.
A western creamery has built up a
very large and successful business OF
making butter from hand separator
cream which is shipped from all direc
tons and from some points 500 miles
distant. They pay two cents more per
pound for butter fat that comes in
good condition than for that which
comes in bad condition. They make
high-class, prize-winning butter. The
dairy industry Is rapidly developing
in their section, showing that their
methods are wise. The president OF
that company told me recently that
most patrons deliver the higher price
cream, or soon patronize another
creamery, where there is no discrim-
ination between good and bad. If a
creamery finds it profitable to differ
entiate between good and poor cream
at the rate of to 10 cents per hun
dred pounds of milk, the buyer OF
market milk would find it profitable
also to adopt such plan.

Old and Damaged Milk Cans.

OIu ana damaged MIX SanS'
What is more disgusting than to see
milk that is to so into a thousand
homes carried in milk cans that bear
every mark of filth and neglect?
Cans that are rusty and discolored
within and without, bruised and bent
till one would wonder If they had
been in q railroad wreck, are often
found at the stations at which milk is
delivered for shipment to the city as
well as at the creameries and cheese
factories. Such cans give the impress.
sion to the beholder that the milk
Fey contain has not been well cared
Lor, and they speak the truth. AS
eve.- one knows, it is impossible to
clean such cans alter the tirst layers
of timing have been broken and rust
spots have appeared.
At a factory in Illinois we saw a
wagon drive up with two rows Of such
cans. How were they unloaded? The
driver simply pushed each can over
the side and permitted 1t to fall to
the ground and into the mud, being
entirely careless whether the can re.
ceived injury or not. He may have
been only hired man and apparently
did not feel personal interest in the
matter. a close inspection Of such
cans would show them utterly unfit
for use in conveying milk. They
might indeed be used for the carrying
back to the farm of whey and skim
milk, but are almost certain to be not
so used; for most farmers do not
want to carry two sets of cans to the
creamery. One might say that the
outside Of the cans does not prove
what the inside is, but the man that
stops to make an investigation finds
that there is striking likeness. The
managers Of many of our cheese fac.
tories and creameries will do we'll to
| give the matter more attention than
it has so far received.
