The weather has been very pene-

It would be no surprise to see snow
by night. The weather forecast is
for probably rain and increasing
cloudiness but the air is decidedly
100 cold for rain, being just about
the temperature for a heavy snow.
At $3.50 this afternoon light

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 hat only
about rs per cent. of the 25 1854, FOG
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, made 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 a commercial product that less than
Is per cent. OF family, or country made
butter, is of a really merchantable quail
ity, and that this rs per cent. commands
an average price of IS cents per pound;
also that the remaining IS per cent,
reaching the hands of the reluctant
country merchants, finally finds it's way
to some renovating establishment, at
6 to 8 cents per pound. From thence
1t comes to the consumer at an equal
price with decent butter and the con-
sumer is forced to buy it because of
the scarcity of a good dairy product
or a for creamery" an advance over
the price the creamery man 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 sold as butter. Ev-
cry h~ousekeeper has sent it back to
the store and after diligent search has
been obliged tC put up with something
quite as bad or go without. Now hat
we have legislated oleo out of compe-
tition with these messes, It would seem
that something Should be lone to raise
the quality OF the stuff we are forced
to buy. Most housewives would agree
on a law providing Imprisonment for
the butter MAKER who spells good cream
to produce the Jumps of rancid fat too
often offered as dairy butter" There
are good butter makers in the country
and there are others.

SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.


New Ma~teria15nnd New ideas for tho
Decoration of Homes.
The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few years,
n 1t IS pleasant to say that they have
Tor the better. Time was when
we hung mons.rous patterns printed on
paper against our walls, and considered
them more Or less pleasantly. It would
hardly be fair to say that we considered
them beautiful or artistic. But they
were the vogue anu were put or. line
time has come when, with our better
methods for interior decoration, better
effects can be secured.
In wall coverings, whether they be
OF paint. or of kalsomine, or of Ala
8bastlne-whatever the material used to
cover the wall-the thing desired is that
which has the greatest covering power,
as well as permanency and beauty of
color. Alabastine, a wall covering
ground from Alabaster rock-which
means a hard white rocb-is the ideal
covering for a wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
IN our large public buildings, and the
frescoed designs in the large cathedrals
and churches have a permanency and an
sst-ot@mhtch- wall paper-is-hut=a Cheap
lmltation. These mural schemes and
frescoed designs can be brought within
the reach of the every day home. They
can be done with Alabastine, which is
permanent in its coloring. 1t does not
u off, and it has the soft effect of
pastelle. 1t does not peel, it does not
blister, and it is thoroughly sanitary, be-
cause it is not stuck on with sour paste
or smelly glue. All sorts of tapestry
effects and any kind of mural design can
be secured; any kind of frescoing can be
done. In fact, the range of the possibili-
ties of this material are only fixed by
the artistic instincts Of the person who
applies it. Naturally a professional dec
orator could do more with it than an
amateur, but the unframed person can
secure beautiful results where the ambi.
ton does not lead one into a desire fol
too trying effects.
A great many people defer the redec.
Grating of their rooms not only because
of the expense but because of the discom.
fort Of it. With Alabastine there need
be no discomfort and there can be nc
muss, for all that is needed, is to lay a
sheet or canyas on the floor, have youl
man come in with a pail, make the so.
luton and simply brush it on the wall
That is all there is to it, and the room
is perfectly clean and thoroughly reno'
waited.

FERTILITY FROM DEcAYlNG
LEAVES

A great deal OF fertilizer isslesteYery
year by destroying decaying vegeta-
tion, instead of Incorporating 1t With
the soil, Where IT. will furnish huinns5
and valuable mineral elements, thus
greatly increasing the fertility of the.
soil.
The greater part of this decaying
vegetation is composed OF leaves, and
we often see great piles Of them being.
burned during fall n spring, which
should y gard "a sTTts,
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 n plants where they will rap
idly decay and be of use to the plants,
or be piled in a heap, adding to all
kinds of refuse from the garden, wood
ash, sand, a little soil. Stops from the
is3use, etc, and let them rot in readi-
ness for use as potting soil for garden
Ing purposes. 1t is best not to make
t piles too large, aa during some sea-
sons there is a tendency to excessive
heating which burns up JnI.cn IT the
most valuable plant food. The mass
should be forlled oVer occasionally, so
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 h food of plants and trees taken

fall they become dry, n all the water
being thrown off it leaves only the
solid matter that has been taken from
the soil.
This, then, after serving its
should be returned to mother earth ex-
actly as it is h the tree is through
with it. When burned and applied to
the soil, only ash remains. This is
valuable in itself, but so much of the
plant food has been destroyed that it's
value is greatly diminished.
Nature has made a grand provision
IN Planning to have the leaves fall un-
dee trees and shrubs, not only to pro-
tee the roots during cold winter and
no dry summers. but SO the plant
food will be in just the place where
1t will be needed again.
In Ii economy of nature, nothing is
lost, n these elements are used over
n over again. On this account the
soil of groves and wooded tracts does
not become worn out as other LAND
does, requiring to be heavily fortified
often to keep the. growing crop in good
condition, though great growth of tim
Der is being made all the time. When
all leaves are removed from around
the trees on the lawn in the fall, it
Often causes great harm, providing a
tidy looking lawn at the expense of
the we'll being Of the trees.
The leaves lying as they fall form
a blanket during winter which will
keep the moisture from the soil around
the roots. If h weather is very Sc
we're, trees and plants are often killed
on account of the dryness of the roots,
the soil freezing dry, then all the mois-
ture is drawn from the root and they
are within no condition to withstand
extreme cold.
The evaporation through the cells of
the tree is, Of course, very much less
during the dormant season, yet it goes
on in a small way all winter, so if
there is not enough moisture in the soil
to keep up the supply needed, the trees
will often be killed.

While no womani is entirely free from
periodical suffering, itdoes not to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong1which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound will do for
women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.

Marriage in Russia.

P%earson's Weekly: In Russia every
woman OF the peasant class marries, or
pretends to marry. Ifia girl comes to
the decision hat no one intends to ask
her to. marry, she leaves home, goes to
some distant district and returns after
a time to that she is a
widow, that she went away to be mar
ried, and that her husband has since
died. No embarrassing questions are
put to her. for among the peasants it
is considered bad form to mention a
dead maj to his widow. This curious
custom goes to show in what high re-
gard the women of Russia look upon
the institution of marriage.
