While no woman is entirely free from

be the plan of nature that women
should suffer SO severely. Menstrual

CURSE OF PooR BUTTER

Secretary Coburn of the Kansas
board of agriculture calls attention to
conditions in that state in connection
With what he calls a curse of poor
butter"
Secretary Coburn says that only
about % per cent. of the 25,S54, :2O6
pounds of country made butter in Kan
sas during the year ending March /,
1904. was of first class quality, good
enough to command is cents per pound.
The rest, which sold, found it's way
from the country grocer To the reno
waiting butter plant. where it has been
melted, mixed with sweet milk. and
again churned, mad into butter"
and sold on the open market in direct
competition With the comparatively
small amount of first class farm made
butter.
1t is said by men who have for many
years been in close touch With butter
as Il commercial product that less than
% per cent. of family, or country made
butter, is of a really understandable quail
ity, and that this % per cent. commands
an average price of is cents per pound;
also that the remaining 20 per cent,
reaching the hands of the reluctant
country merchants, finally finds its way
to some renoNating establishment. at
6 to s cents per pound. From thence
it comes to the consumer at an equal
price with decent butter and the con-
sumner is forced to buy it because of
the scarcity OF q good dairy product
or pay for creamery an advance over
the price the creamery mar could get
in New York or Boston.
Kansas is not alone. Every family
knows the rancid. streaked and flavor
less compound of grease that in too
many instances is old as butter. Ev-
cry housekeeper has sent it back to
the store n after diligent search has
been obliged tc put up with something
quite as bad or go without Now that
we ave legislated cleo out of compe-
tition with these messes. it would seem
that something shoulu be done to raise
the quality of the stuff We are forced
to buy. Most housewives would agree
on a law providing imprisonment for
the butter mailer who spells good cream
TO produce the humps of rancid fat too
often offered as dairy butter" There
are gOod batter makers in the country
and there are others.

FERTILITY FROM DECAYING
LEAVES.

a great dea! of fertilizer is lost every
year by destroying decayims vegeta-
ton. instead of incorporating il with
the SOIL, where it win furnish humus
ana valuable mineral elements. thus
greatly increasing the fertility OF the
soil.
vegetation is composed OF leaves. and
we often see great piles of them being
burned during fan and spring, which
should be spread over the garden.
Some people use The leaves as a mulch
during the winter. but burn them in
the spring. Instead of This they should
be either forked into the soil around
trees and plants where they will rap
idly decay and be of use to the plants,
or be piled i'll Il heap, adding to all
kinds of refuse from the garden, wood
ash, sand, a little soil, Stops from the
EJuse, etc, and let them rot in readi-
ness for use as potting soil for garden
ing purposes 1t is best not to make
the piles too large, as during some sea-
sons there is Il tendency to excessive
heating which burns up much of the
most valuable plant food. The mass
Should be forkcd over occasionally, SC
that all parts will be equally affected
by the sun, air and rain.
1t is natural TO suppose that valuable
elements are contained in these leaves,
as the food of plants and trees taken
in through the roots passes through tho
cells With the sap, and when the caves
fall they become dry, and all the water
being thrown off it leaves only the
solid matter that has been taken from
the son.
This. then, after serving its purpose
should ne returned to mother earth eX-
actly rs it is when the tree is through,
/ with il \Vhan hl1rnel and .fy.1ia1 ff
the soil. only ash remains. This is
valuable in itself, but SO much OF the
plant food has been destroyed that its
value is greatly diminished.
Nature has made a grand provision
in PLANNING to have the leaves fan un,
de, trees and shrubs, not only to pro,
tee the roots during cold winter anC
no dry summers. but so the plant
food will be in just the place where
1t will be needed again.
In the economy of nature nothing is
lost. and these elements are used over
and over again. On his account the
soil of groves and wooded tracts does
not become worn out as other lanC
does, requiring to be heavily fortified

Marriage in Russia.

IN OF the peasant class marries. or
pretends to marry. If Il girl comes TO
the decision that lie n intends to ask
her to marry, she leaves home, goes to
some distant district and returns after
a time to announce that she is q
widow, that she went away to be mar
ried. and tina her husband has since
died. No embarrassing questions are
put to her. for among the peasants ii
is considered bad form to mention a
dead man to his widow. This curious
custom goes to show in what high re-
gard the women of Russia look upon
the institution of marriage.
