USE ABSORBENT BEDDING.
Its Need in the Stable Is Known in
Theory, Although Much Neg
lected in Practice.

Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the necessity for having plenty of
absorbent bedding in all stables for
two reasons, namely, to promote the
comfort of the animals and to save the
manure, especially the liquid excre-
ment, which is the most valuable part
Of it. The need OF clean, dry, abundant
bedding must be generally known theo-
retically, although much neglected in
practice. The value Of liquid manure
is, however, thing people in general
are very slow to learn or to do any,
thing about. Among the best absorb
erts may be mentioned sawdust, straw,
and land plaster, Sawdust, an excellent
fertilizer in itself, retards the decompo-
sition of the manure, but rots quickly
when mixed with it. Where it is cheap
and accessible, nothing better can be
had. AS most farmers have more straw
than can possibly be used for feeding
purposes, this is a most common and
on the whole most excellent bedding
Land plaster, where obtainable, is an
excellent absorbent for stables, especi-
ally to hold the excessive ammonia in
horse stables.-Prairie Farmer.

A FEW BUTTER BRIEFS.

Butter should be worked as little as
possible; just enough to make it COM
pact and expel the superfuous mois-
ture.
There is no apparatus that can get
more butter out of the milk than the
cow put into it. But care must be
taken to get all the cow puts in.
In the dairy only the purest salt
should be used. Salt that will not dis
solve readily in water is unfit for but
ter. The quantity is a matter of taste
and the better plan is to consult the
taste of the consumer. Generally from
three-fourths to one ounce per pound is
used.
When the cream is made. too warm
before it goes into the churn in one
sense the globules are cooked together
causing the casing to be attached,
rather than the globules, and as the
yellow of the butter is obscured by this
envelope of casing the butter comes

BUTTER A GOOD MEDICINE,
It Is the Most Delicate Of Fatty Sub
stances and Quite as Valuable
as Cod Liver Oil.

Butter is so common commodity
that people use it and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand in the parts of dainty yellow
cream fat, says the American Cheese
maker. OF course, they know that it is
useful in many branches of cookery,
and that without its aid the table
would be bare of it's thinly rolled bread
and butter its delicate cakelets. and its
other accessories. Beyond these uses
the value of butter is a thing only
vaguely thought Of. But this delicate
fat is as valuable as the dearer cod
liver oil for weakly, thin people, and
doctors have frequently recommended
the eating Of many thin slices of bread
thickly spread with butter as a means
of pleasantly taking into the bodily
tissues one of the purest forms of fat
it is possible to get.
Butter is carbon, and all excess of
it is stored up as fat in the body. 1t
gives energy and power to work to
those who eat heartily Of it. So 1t IL
not economy at table to spare the but
ter, even to the healthy folk. For any
one afflicted with consumption butter
cookery, if plenty of fat can be digest
ed, is one Of the best ways of curing
the disease il it is in it's early stages
or Of keeping it at bay if advanced.
Butter is not simple fat, composed
of merely one sort. 1t is mixture of
no less than seven different sorts Of
fats, and no more complex oil can be
taken than this is.

WORLDS OLDEST BUTTER.
Jar Which Was Buried on Nebraska
Farm Fifty Years Ago Just
Brought to Light.

The age of butter has always been 4
fruitful theme for the would-be humor-
list, but the most exaggerated statement
hardly exceeds the actual facts con-
corning some butter on exhibition in
San Diego, Cal. .,"..
Mrs. NJ. A. Decatur, mother Of J. w.
Thompson, manager of the Postal Tel
egraph company in that city, is in re-
ceipt of sample jar of butter made in
1858.
Fifty years ago Mrs. Decaturs homo
was on Nebraska farm near Decatur.
Among other natural advantages of
the farm was a never-failing spring,
the cool shallow of which made an ideal
place for the storage of milk and but
ter. At various times small jars OF
butter that were placed in the spring
mysteriously disappeared, and the In
dams, who were numerous at that
time, were credited with having appro-
priated them. The mystery was solved,
however, when large jar of butter
became Embedded in the sandy bottom
of the spring, and in spite of all efforts
to recover it sank from sight and was
given up for lost.
Time passed, the homestead was
given into other hands, and the spring
fell into disuse.
A few days ago a party Of hunters
discovered on the old farm the rim Of
a buried jar, which they fondly hoped
might be "pOt OF gold" but which
proved. when unearthed. to be the
long-lost jar Of butter. When exposed
to the air the jar crumbled to dust, but
the butter remained intact. Although
covered with green mold, the main
body of the butter was of the original
color and consistency.
A small piece was sent TO Mrs. De-
catur, while the large part has been
placed in cold storage, and no doubt
will find it's way to the St. Louis expo
sition as the oldest butter in the world.

Many a girl has regained her faded
beauty, many a matron has heightened
the days of her comcly appearance by
using Peruna.
Peruna produces clean mucous men,
branes, the basis of facial symmetry
and perfect complexion.
The women have not been slow to dis
cover that a course of Peruna will do
more toward restoring youthful beauty
than all the devices known to science.
While it is true that Peruna cures ca

to fit the lock. and the cream can be
set in and left for the driver to collect

in the rear to ventilate the closet that,
being closed, it may not be overheated

his can, taking turns in carrying the
cream.-Farm Journal.

Extracted vs.. Comb Honey,

Here in the east the comb honey in
attractive shape commands far larg-
er call than the extracted does and more

veight foundation, pure and nearly
transparent, has done away with the
.'hobo" of tough center comb which the
consumer kicked on. What looks more
pleasing than fine cake of comb honey,

honey cannot be put on table in as good
form, though it be put up in packages to
suit the eye. The consumer has such a
fear of adulterated goods that he pre-
fers the comb honey which he knows is

Peaches in Cold Storage.

The Hartford Day Spring says that
an experiment which has been success
fully conducted this season by num-
Der of South Haven fruit growers is
the placing Of peacher and pears in
cold storage. Early in October, 1903,
several bushels of peaches and pears
were carefully picked, sorted and each
piece of fruit wrapped in tissue paper;
this was then wrapped in white print
paper and placed on shelf in cold
storage January the fruit was taken
out and placed on the local market in
as good condition and finely favored
as though freshly picked. The price
thus obtained was nearly three times
that which the fruit from the same
trees sold for at the time it was put
in cold storage.

There is solid comfort in religion. There
is the comfort of assurance. 1t is our priv
ilege to know that we have passed from
death unto life, that Jesus IS our personal
Saviour, and that heaven is our home.
There is comfort in fellowship with God.
If it is sweet for earthly friends to com
mune with each other, how much sweeter
for the soul to hold communion with the
Father of our spirits! There is comfort IN
hope. We are going forward and cannot
stop nor retraee our steps. 1t is good to
look forward with high expectation to a
better country. There is comfort in light.
The light which the Spirit Of God sheds
on the heart of the believer is better than
the light of the sun. How many there be
in the church who know nothing of these
holy comforts by experience. There is no
music within. Their religion is not a rel.

DEAR SIR:-Last season I used your high grade sweet potato
fertilizer and the results have been so satisfactory that 1 am pleased
to let you know just what they were. l used your fertilizer along
side of two other lea1ing brands, using the same plants and setting
the same day, using the same number of pounds of fertilizer 1000
lbs. to the acre, without any manuret, with the following results:
Seventeen baskets more to the row of heaps, which was 140 hills
long, making an average of over one basket to the hundred hills
more than that obtained from either of the other brands used. You
may book my order for the coming season for six tons of your
High Grade Sweet Potato Fertilizer.
Very truly,
