WHIMs OF THE MARKET.

1t is well enough to know a good
vegetable when you see it, and to try
to have the best OF everything 1t
is we'll to have high ideals. But they
do not always pay. What til market
gardener wants is cash for his pro-
ducts, and to get that he must fur
nish what the customer wants and is
willing to pay the most money for
Almost each market has its particular
whims and vagaries. Or at times we
meet with particular customers who
have particular and possibly peculiar
whims and notions about what they
want. We must try to conform to
such notions no matter if we think
that they are peculiar and that we
have much better things than such a
notional customer calls for.

DANGER IN THE TEA POT.

The injurious effect Of the use OF
tea as a beverage does not arise from
the use, but from the abuse OF the
decoction. The beverage, If properly
made, is a mild stimulant, and to
some extent, an exhilarant, and II Is
claimed by experts that the decocuon,
if properly prepared can be attended
by no deleterious effects. But Tea
should never be boiled, nor should IL
be allowed to "steep," as is the Gus
tom in some families for an hour. OF
hours. Tannic acid develops by this
sleeping, and used in this way, tannlc
acid is really a poison. Tea leaves
should never be allowed to boil; nelth-
Their should the tea pot be used time
after time without being thoroughly
cleaned The pot should not be set
owe rthe fire at all.

In that case what would we do with
Germany? Should we regard her con-
ventional tariff as a concession! II
we did we should be nicely buncoed,
for it is higher in every case than the
present tariff. The only recourse left
to us in dealing with such nations is
to give them q dose of their own
medicine. Let us make a maximum
tariff if we are forced to, from which
we can recede in dickering, but let
no nation bulldoze us into an aban-
donment of our policy CT protection

A Tariff Distinction.

The friends Of protection ought to
be careful to distinguish between a
maximum and minimum tariff and
a minimum and maximum tariff.
1t makes great deal of difference
which word comes first.
1t is minimum and maximum
tariff we must have if we would re-
main a protectionist country.
A minimum tariff would apply
equally to all nations. 1t would be the
declared tariff policy of the country,
and in accordance with it manufacture
ers would govern their purchases and
sales. The maximum duties would be
applied only against those countries
that discriminate against us.
"A maximum tariff, made to such
nations as showed us the greatest
commercial fayors, would result in
tariff instability. The manufacturer
would never know what the tariff
would be six months hence.
On the other hand the mistake
should not be made of declaring the
present Dingley law to be the minimum
tariff, simply providing for maximum
duties to be added to it.-Springfield
(Mass.) Union"

TWO MISTAKES.

A farmer who had frostbitten corn
thought it worthless. So in 1903 ne
failed to save it. He found, through
a neighbours experience, that stock
would live on it alone through the
winter. Another mistake was in not
preparing plenty of insecticide. by rea-
son of which potatoes were destroyed
by chinch bugs. On the other hand
cabbage was a great success, some
weighing as much as twenty pounds.
He saved these from bugs by killing
them by hand.

THE CAUSE OF GARGET.

All sorts of objections have been
cow stables, the most important one
being that such floors are slippery
If they are built with the proper slope
and built the proper length so that
the excrements will fall beyond the
floors there is no reason why they
should be wet and slippery Of
course, such floors are made so that
they are rather rough, this being
easily accomplished by the introduc-
ton of considerable gravel in the &C.
ment mixture Lately several writ
ers have claimed that the udders of
their cows were injured by coming in
contact with cold cement floors and
that. in some cases, garget resulted.
This is serious statement and
doubtless has more or less truth in it.
1t is plain that in a cold climate the
cement floor does get very cold, but
an abundance of bedding will easily
rectify that trouble. Even if the ami
mails displace more or less of this bed

been warmed by their bodies so that
there is little danger. While there is
a possibility of such injury as stated,
it seems as if the bedding would over
come it. We have an old mop in the
barn, made of heavy ropes, with which
we go over each floor of cement be-
fore the cows are bedded during the
winter to remove any moisture which
may have gotten there from any cause
and then we supply the beSding liber-
ally; for a dozen years We have used
cement floors in a climate where the
thermometer goes far below zero and
have yet to discover an udder trouble
with any of the cows. Indianapolis

AN ARTISTIC LUNCHEON.

For a goldenrod and sumac luncG-
con. says Good Housekeeping, use a
polished table (the darker the wood
the better the effect with a plenti-
tude of doilies, large and small, en-
broidered in yellow. For a centre
piece use a tall, graceful vase filled
with the goldenrod and resting on
circular nat of sumao leaves. This
is easily formed by arranging the
sumac leaves to converge to com
mon centre where the ends of the
stems meet. At each corner Of the
table have low bowls filed with gold
enrod resting on sumac mats, and at
each cover carry out this design in
miniature. Scarlet place cards, with
name. date, and occasion in gilt let
tering will be consistent. Small ruby
tinted and gilt Bohemian dishes
holding the misunderstanding of
orarge straws, sailed nuts, scarlet
radishes. and yellow cream mints-
can be scattered over the table, and
will assist in carrying out the color
effect, which should also be observed
in the makeup of the menu, with
due regard for food harmonies- The
china service should also have
touch of scarlet and gold in the dec
orations. The following menu is sug-
gested:
Mushmelon with salt and paprika
Clear tomato soup with egg balls
Lobster a la Newburg
Chicken croquettes with yellow Bech-

WHITE spEcKs IN BUTTER.


Question-Can you direct me to
where l can find articles on the sub
ject of Cause and Cure of White
Specks in Butter?
Answer-The cause of white specks
in butter is usually overripe cream.
When cream sours too far before
churning, the curd in the cream is
hardened by the continued souring
and contracted into small white
specks which may be retained in the
butter If not removed by washing. AS
a rule, butter of this sort is more
commonly made in farm dairies thar
in creameries, because at the farm
dairy, cream is collected for several
DAYS and the first lot of cream is like
1y to be very sour before the mixture
Sf several days cream is churned.
This separates the curd and although
it is mixed quickly and thoroughly
through the cream during churning,
the harder specks are apt to be left
in the granular butter and not wash
ed out with the buttermilk.
Butter made from cream containing
this kind of curd can be freed from
these white specks by washing the
granular butter in the following way:
When the butter breaks and the
granules are about the size of wheat
grains, draw off the buttermilk. then
fill the churn about half full with cold
wafer revolve II a few times and let
churn stand until the granular butter
rises to the surface of the water; the
curd being heavier than the butter,
will sink to the bottom and may be
drawn off through the draining plug
at the bottom of the churn. By re-
peating the washing the granular but
ter in this way, one can separate the
hard specks of curd very readily and
thus prevent their appearance in the
finished butter.-Professor harrington
in Hoard's Dairyman.

A Ruse of War.

1t is not always policy to acknowl-
edge a defeat. A little GOODNESS at the
critical moment some times saves the
day, as In the case described In Mr..
Ripley's "Story of Company B." In a
close encounter during the Civil War,
two soldiers, one from each army, came
face to face within shot range.
Each put UP his gun and fred, AZ 1t
subsequently appeared, his last cart
ridge. Both missed. The bullet Of one
man buried itself In a tree, and the
shot of the other passed through the
coat of his enemy. Each man, know
ing his ammunition was gone, sup
posed himself to be at a disadvant-
age.
One of them made great show Of
reloading his gun, and stepping for
ward, demanded surrender. The
other threw down his arms with a
groan.
'If I had another cartridge womb
never surrender!" he exclaimed.
THAT'S all right" calmly remarked
the captor, marching OF his prisoner.
"ff l had another, you may be sure I
shouldn't have asked yeu to surren-
der"

Democratic "4armony..

Democrats are the same everywhere
In this country, as was illustrated re-
Gently at the Tammany convention in
New York.
Mayor George B. Mcclellan, the
standard bearer Of the party, made q
speech in which he said: "As a Demo
crat 1 believe that the community is
best governed which is least govern
ed and that where individual effort
and private enterprise can accomplish
the same results as government the
government has no right to interfere"
As soon as the applause that follow
ed this speech has died away the con-
lvention got down to business and
passed ringing municipal ownership
resolution. ''Public ownership" it
said, lis no longer a campaign catch
word, but principle applied and in
operation in this the greatest of
American cities"
The convention and the candidate
are to be congratulated on this entire
ly successful illustration of Democrs +
&c harmony. For this little episode
shows the party just as harmonious
as the rest Of its history does. The
reason it has never accomplished any,
thing is that it has never been able
TO agree on anything except to dis
agree.
Mayor Mcclellan had uttered a
magnificent Democratic sentiment and
the convention had an opportunity to
adopt 1t and share the credit for it,
but 1t was a Democratic convention
and necessarily took the opposite view.

A Dangerous Power.

The recent reciprocity treaties have
failed In the Senate because they
appeared to affect injuriously the local
industries of one or more States, whose
Senators stood out against them, in
trenched behind the Senate rules. To
pass maximum and minimum tariff
bill will require only a majority in
stead Of a two-thirds vote. But the
power it would put into the hands of
the executive might be used to affect.
injuriously the industries Of many
States. The result undoubtedly would
be combination Of ali the Senators
the local industries of whose States
could possibly be affected by the min
imum tariff proposed. Even without
raising the constitutional question of
the right of Congress to delegate any
part of its taxing power to the Presi-
dent, it is hard to see how such a bill
would have any better chance In the
Senate than a specific reciprocity
treaty. 1t would probably not have as
good chance.-Chicago ''Inter-

Quite Likely.

1t may be that the consumers of
meats would not be sure of sharing
in any benefit that might come from
removal Of restrictions on American
meats In other markets. Would not
such removal increase the foreign con-
sumption of our meats and thus at
ford a reason for again and again
putting up the prices here at home?
Has the history Of the live stock
trade Of America given stock growers
any cause for belief that any improve
ment in markets abroad would add a
cent to the price Of I've stock here at

surance that they would ever receive

Made of Stern Stuff.

MIS-. Mary A. LlVerm0re, whose
death occurred In May, spent the long
years of the civil war in tireless and
wonderfully successful efforts to pro-
vide comforts and wholesome treat
ment for the Union soldiers at the
front, the sick and wounded in hospital,
| and the convalescents. Through the
Northwestern Sanitary Commission, in
which she was one of the most active
| forces, she became a sort of general
agent" for the mothers and wives Of
the West in looking after the we'll
being Of their 'boys." She appears TO
have had the most intimate confidence
Of them all. Even the children lis
tened to her pleadings, and brought
their contributions to swell the funds
of the commission, and their smiles and
tears to go on record in her STORY Of
the War;"
One day a little girl brought to the
Chicago Office a five-dollar gold piece,
which she wished to give to the SOL
diers. Mrs. Livermore explained to
her that it was worth seven dollars
anda half in greenbacks, and then took
her into the storeroom and showed
what it would buy-so many cans Of
condensed milk, SO many pounds Of
coffee, SO many warm shirts, and so on.
The little girl was delighted.
Meanwhile a little urchin who often
thrust his unkempt pate into the room
with a shrill cry Of ''Matches!
Matches" had stood a little apart,
watching the girl and listening to the
conversation. AS she disappeared he
fumbled in his pockets and drew out
small handful Of crumpled paper cur
rency.

In fer them ere sick fellers."
He pat fifty-five cents in Mrs. Liver

then. She was surprised, and hest
tated.

II am afraid you cannot afford 1t. You

more than you ought to give. You
keep 1t and I'll give fifty-five cents for
you."

Mrs. Livermore took the crumpled
currency. She forgot the boys dirty
face. She forgot how often she had
called him nuisance when his shrill
cry Of matches" got on her nerves
She stopped to kiss him. But the boy
OWNED her intention and darted to a
place of safety on the outer sidewalk.

And thereafter he eyed her closely

boldly; but If she appeared affection
ately inclined he beat retreat, and
would not come within the danger
