NERVES CURED ON THE SEA.
Work That Helps the Sufferer on
Board the Small Cruiser.


Board the Small Cruiser.
For nervous people or people who
suffer from nervous dyspepsia or ex-
haustion there is no other kind of life
which compares with that aboard the
small cruiser, where the sufferer must
do some of the work about deck. But
there must be real work, not just lend
ing a hand on line here and there.
Many things are to be borne in mind
by the amateur sailor when he de-
cides to live for 4 time aboard a YES
sci as ''owner and master" First Of
all, he must be philosophical. He must
not take birdlike life too seriously.
Accidents and maritime dangers, such
as storms and collisions, must be look
ed out for, but not made into a night
mare to worry him. He must carry
away gear and perhaps a stick or two
now and then without getting on his
nerves. There is little danger in bad
weather if he uses ordinary judgment
in shortening sail and he must remem-
Der that only lunatics or worse carry
much sail in heavy squalls. His craft,
will be quite uncapsizable under the
conditions she was designed to under
go. If he wishes TO nave a craft that
will carry all sail in black squall or
topsail in a gale he should get
ashore and join the rocking chair fleet.
There he may indulge in problems of
metacentric height to his hearts con-
tent without danger to himself or
companions.
Neither should he be too particular in
regard to his personal habits. He
should board the craft with the spirit
he had when he went on his first pic
mic and be ready to live in plain style.
This warning will be appreciated after
an expensive steward brings him in
his first meal or two.
Canned goods need not be served
aboard yachts cruising in the waters
along the coast. He is a poor steward
who cannot furnish fresh beef, chops
and steaks, to say nothing of all kinds
Of fish, at a moderate expense. Then,
with rice, macaroni, hominy and some
Of the numerous prepared foods, he
will have a necessary variety without
opening his tins. They should be re-
served for necessity when the market
has failed. With proper slowing a
vast amount of good food may be
taken aboard and kept out Of sight,
yet always easy Of access.-Boston

The same precautions that are used
in washing fine woolens need to be
taken with silk. Prepare a suds Of
white soap and fairly hot water, and
add to each gallon Of water two table
spoonsful of ammonia. If the am

spoonful. Let the garments soak in
the suds for some time, half an hour,

Make Your Own Fertilizers.


There is much talk about farmers
making their own fertilizers, and it is
believed In some quarters that this adj
vice is given by certain college pro
fessors and political grangers for the
purpose Of currying favor with the
farmers.
A Southern truckman, who buys
about $4,000 worth of commercial fer
tilizer every year, says it does not pay.
He is an enterpr;sing man as well,
and has made numerous experiments to
ascertain whether it Is profitable or
not to mix his own fertilizer. He de-
clares that no farmer can buy the raw
material and mix his fertilizer as
cheaply as he can buy it from reput-
able dealers. Under the stringent laws
Of most States any farmer can get
exactly what he pays for in the way
Of fertilizer, and if he is swindled it
is his own fault. But it is not fair
to say that all fertilizer manufacturers
are swindlers. There is no doubt, how
ever, that several years ago great
deal of fraud was practiced by fer
tilizer manufacturers, but the newt
able result that always follows thiev
cry of any kind has driven these crook
ed manufacturers out OF business. and
the honest men have continued to do
business and furnish honest goods at
reasonable prices.
The newspapers have helped to
drive the fertilizer rascals out Of bust
ness, a1d they have steadily support
ed the honest manufacturers. II the
farmer will take one or two good
papers and rely upon them to give
truthful information in regard to his
business and the man who furnishes
| him with farm supplies Of all kinds,
| he will seldom run the risk Of being
swindled by purchasing from the man.

Cool Cured Cheese.

Some of the cheeses cured by
the colo curing process in Canada have
been recently sent to English
merchants with a request for criti-
cisms on the quality. The cheeses
were also submitted to the paraffin-
ing process, which has not been APP
proved by English dealers in cheese.
The chceses were sold and carefully
judged by the dealers in different To-
calities. A committee appointed to
voice the sentiments of the buyers
said that the cool curing process is an
Improvement over the old method, the
money value of such improvement be-
ing from 80 cents to 81 per 112 pounds.
Paraffin1ng was pronounced to be a
success on closelytextured, well-made
cheese, but does harm on mushy, soft
and acidy cheese. Wherever the paraf
filming is used it should be thoroughly

There was imported into Great Brit
ain last year butter to the amount Of
4,241 900 hundredweight, this having
a value Of S1O2, 10000 The imports
of cheese amounted TO 2,554,OOO hun

$4,000. This gives some idea of the
English dependency upon foreign
countries for dairy supplies. Nearly
half of the butter imported into Great
Britain came from Denmark, the next
largest source Of supply was Australia,
and the third largest Russia: Sweden,
Germany, France, New Zealand and
Canada standing in line not greatly
varying from each other. The sup
ply of butter obtained from the United
States was not 2 per cent of the total
and represented a value of 81 ,433, OOO
Much more than half Of the cheese
imported into Great Britain was of
Canadian production. Holland and the
United States sent substantially the
same amount, this in each case hav-
ing a value of about $2,5O0,000. 1t is
a little singular that while such dis
tant countries as New Zealand and
Australia seem to be capable of sup
plying the mother country with large
quantities of so perishable an article
as butter, they do not seem to be able
to enter largely into the expectation
of cheese.-Boston Herald.

Millions of Pike Perch.

superintendent Carter, in charge of
the government pike perch operations
at Swanton, VT, says that the work
this year is proving successful to a
marked degree. He notes there are
250,OOO,OO0 eggs in sight and the out
look now is that more eggs can be Sc
cured than can possibly be handled
with the present hatchery. This sea-
son will go one hundred million eggs
better than any previous season. 1t
has been the practice ever since the
fish propagation commenced there sew
eral years ago to take the pike in the
river when the run is ON, which is al
ways over in few days, and then add
to the supply by procuring pike from
the bay fishermen. This practice is
being followed this season, certain
fishing grounds being designated to be
operated in the interest of the govern
ment work. Every Matching jar in
hatchery building will be in commits
sion this year, something that has
never happened before.
