throughout Morocco. The tribes, the
correspondent says, only refrain from
open rebellion because there is no.
body against whm to rebel, as the
Sultan S authority is non-existent, ex-
cept inside the towns. All attempts
to collect tribute levies and to secure
recruits have failed. The Sultan re-
mains at Fee, with only a few hun

situation to amass money while the

Try Hairy Xcfch.

Those who are not familiar with
sand or hairy vetch should grow it and
ascertain for themselves how valuable
it is. A good way to test it is to take
single acre Of land and prepare it
for wheat, being careful to get as nice
seed bed as possible, then at wheat
sowing time, SOW this land with q
mixture Of one bushel of wheat and
one bushcl of hairy vetch. The result
will be surprising for the crop in the
spring will be excellent for hay or for
soiling. The hairy vetCh may be
grown alone or it may be used as a
cover for young orchards. 1t does
especially we'll under the shade OF
trees, hence could be used to advan-
tage in orchards of considerable size.

MAKING MILK PALATABLE.
Some Valuable and Practical Sueges-
tons to Amateur Nurses.

Many patients when ordered a milk
diet positively state that they cannot
endure the taste of milk, that it al
ways nauseates them, or that it makes
them bilious and produces headache.
The objection to the taste can always
be overcome, and by little tact and
perseverance there are few persons
who cannot digest more or less ex-
elusive milk diet for few days or
weeks if the milk is properly given.
Their previous unfavorable experience
is probably due to having large dose
Of undiluted milk which soured, coag-
ulated and was rejected, exciting all
the distaste which they have treasured
against it.
When the milk diet is necessary,
such patients should commence with
a teaspoonful or two at time, repeat
ing it once in ten or fifteen minutes.
If the milk is taken very slowly into
the stomach and mingled on the way
with saliva, like other food, eaten
rather than drunk, it is impossible
to form the large tough curds that it
does when poured down by the tum-
blerful, like a dose of disagreeable
salts. In this manner by degrees the
patient will be convinced of his abil-
ity to retain it and then the quantity
may be increased.
Sometimes patients dislike the taste
of raw milk or tire of it. This may be
easily overcome by flavoring it in a
variety of ways. A few teaspoonfuls
of black coffee is one of the best
means at hand. Very weak tea may
be preferred. Caramel or ginger is
another excellent 1avoring substance
which may be literally used. Some
patients may take a little chocolate
or cocoa nibs infusion with their glass
of milk Others prefer the addition
of common salt OR a little black pep
per.
None of the additions materially af-
feet the nutritive value of milk and
the variety of taste which may be Sc
cured with these different f1avoring
substances will invariably overcome
all Observation-Disclosures.

the nearer the square form the cheaper

DESTROYING Hardhack.

Not long ago had occasion to cross
the adjoining pastures Of two large
dairy farms with natural conditions
about alike. On one there was q
large amount OF bareback, while on the
other there was only an occasionally
small shrub to be seen.
On the first there had been no at
tempt made to check or destroy the
growth, but found on enquiry that
on the other thorough work had been
made in pulling up the bushes in the
fall few years since. It must have
been pretty thorough, too, and effect
ual to hardly leave trace behind.
Perhaps the fall pulling was what did
the business, similar to that Of cutting.

To Keen Onions.

To keep onions over winter put them
IN dry location, such as barn loft,
and spread them on a floor or on
shelves i, thin layers. If they should
happen t. freeze it will not damage
them, provided they are not disturbed
when frozen. They should be covered
with sheets of paper in order to assist
in preventing sudden thawing, but u.s.
ually if tie layers of onions are not
too thick end the location is dry they
will keep without difficulty.

Tomato Worms.

Tomato worms are frequently seen
with numerous small white objects
adhering to tAem, which are the eggs
Of pupae or parasites which prey upon
the worms. tomato worms thus at
tackled should not be destroyed. If
farmers will take pains to thus make
the distinction they will propagate the
friendly parasites to do the work of
destruction among insects more eff
fectually than In any other manner.
We should learn to know the insect
friends from foes and protect them.

In the matter of campaign contri-

become recognized among all RIGHT
thinking peoHe that ofriceholders
should not, unl er compulsion, give up
a part OF theiIsalaries to the party in
power. Since oficeholders work for
the public, their salaries derived from
all taxpayers should not be made
large enough so that they can turn
over a good percentage to the party
which gives them the place. When i

100000 into Connecticut on cleo
