HINTS FOR FARMERS

Butter should come" IN granuies the
size of a wheat kernel. Wash it imme-
diately once. Too much washing re-
moves or impairs the flavor. This
should be done while In the churn.
Then remove to the butter worker and
add from one to one and one-eighth
ounces Of salt 10 a pound of butter, de-
pending upon the amount Of butter

slightly TO remove little of the butter

twelve to twenty-four hours to sea-

the final working.
The chief caution is not to work the
butter too much, especially at the hEst
working; just enough TO remove most
OF the buttermilk. Excessive working
destroys the granular appearance which
is the chief test Of good butter and
makes It salvy. To test this break the

Give each player a pad and pencil.

Man or Mountain.

Clifford B. Hildreth is the proprietor
of a hotel at York Beach, Me-, a few
miles from a promontory known as
Baldhead cliff. The place is wild and
picturesque and is the Mecca Of many
summer visitors.
Hildreth is called Clifr by all who
know him. His head has pushed
through his hair, and he has little use
for comb. A few weeks ago a party
Of tourists stopped in front of his hotel,
and, seeing Mrs. Hildreth on the We
randa, one Of the men called out:
"Can you tell me where Baldhead
cliff isY'
"He must be around the house some
where" said Mrs. Hildreth. II saw
him just few minutes ago." She was
not disconnected by the slangy title
that she believed the tourist had be-
slowed on her husband.-chicag Rec

Doubtless the most profitable dairy
ing is that carried on as part Of the
farm work. Here every effort and ev-
cry product can be utilized to the best
advantage The general farmer who
makes butter is free from a good many
of the problems that vex the profess
sional dairyman. He is not forced to
work on the problem Of supplying his
many customers when his supplies are
short and Of disposing prohtably Of
surplus Of milk In the flush season.
The professional dairyman does not
usually keep hogs II he sells whole
milk, for he would have nothing to feed
them in the months when his supply OF
milk is low. The general farmer keeps
hogs, calves and chickens, and there is
no product Of his little dairy that can
not be readily used.-Tribune Farmer.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Faithful Little Dog.

EntthIul Little noEs
Some years ago a little boy had q
little fox terrier puppy.
He loved it, and the puppy loved him.
They played together all the time.
But one day the little boy was taken
sick.
The dog would go into his room and
stand up by the bed and lick his hand.
The little boy died. The dog knew
1t. He cried for the boy.
The people sent him to a friends
house.
He got out of the house and ran
home. He followed the little boys
hearse to the grave.
Some men put his coffin into the
grave and covered it with earth and
put beautiful flowers over it.
Then the little dog lay down on the
grave. He stayed there all night
The next day a man went to fix the
grave.
The dog bit and fought him. The
man had to kill the poor little dog.

Fan with a Comb.

Every boy and girl using a comb to
smooth out badly tangled locks on a
cold morning has heard and wondered
at the electricity that crackles as the
comb passes through the hair. This
property of the comb can be used in
an interesting little experiment. Cut
out a lot Of little paper figures. On the
next cold day when your hair begins
to snap and stand on end I'm its effort
to follow the comb hold the comb over
the figures. The little puppets imme-
diately appear to be endowed with life.
They commence to jump and dance or
stick to each other and the comb as II
fastened with glue. OFTEN a little fig
ure will stand on its head; another, fix
ing himself by one hand, holds his tiny
form upright in a comical fashion;
sometimes they will form themselves
into long strings and go through all
manner of seemingly intelligent move
fnents.

The pigs, unless for breeding stock,
should receive such treatment as viii
tend to the production Of growth and
fat, says American Cultivator. To
make this business profitable the pigs
should be fed up TO the limit or good
digestion and assimilation with the
skim milk from the dairy and what
grain is needed TO cause them to take
on fat so as within from six to eight
months time to be fit for the butcher.

Care ofIeweIs

1t is perfectly surprising how many
women there are who are possessors
Of beautiful rings and ornaments Of
various kinds and who are utterly ig-
norant Of the care that these valuable
things should have.
A great polish for floors is made by
that they do not even examine the
stones regularly to make sure that the
settings are tight. Once in awhile a
woman win wash her ring in soap and
water. rinse Il in clear water and con-
tent herself with the feeling that she
has cleaned it properly; but this is all
a mistake. An alcoholic bath should
be administered after the one Of water
and the Jewel should be dried in saw
dust. Any soap that is used should be
entirely free Of alkaii and the water
should be tepid only.

berg was driven back from Sandepas
the commander in chief accused him Of
disobeying orders. They quarreled,

his senior in age.
General Gripenberg is a native of

He saw service in the Crimean war, in

and narrow lace insertions set in in

on some Of the muslins already
fashioned for next summers use.
Valenciennes lace win be used as ex-
tensively as it has been through the
winter.
Everything's going to be sheer, you
say, as you look at the filmiest OF
batistes and the finest OF handker-
chief linens, and then you turn around
and are confronted with heavy linen
something (they call It. lace) that
passes from lace into embroidery and
back and forth again.
Next summers muslin gowns will
be made again with the rufled skirts
which proved to be so popular last
year. A skirt made with two or three
deep founces, each hounce scalloped
and embroidered on the edge. is sure
TO be satisfactory and no other model
is so well adapted to the effective dis
play OF sash, ribbon and striking
girdles.

these Etons. and when made so that
/ they are adjustable any amount Of
variety may be given to the costume.
A gown imported recently brought
out an idea which Il would be we'll to
bear in mind when making the foulard
which is Indispensable in summer.
Around the bottom OF the skirt were
two accordion plated ruffles in plain
colored silk matching the flower OF
the foulard, the same silk formed the
girdle and a tiny ruhie. also plated
edged the Eton and the yoke. The

The accepted cut Of the new coats
is quite straight and they are either
three quarter or just below the waist
line.
In selecting muslins for next sum-
mer one must remember that polka
dots are again to be in great favor.
Little woven rings on the muslin are
also in great demand.
Chiffon taffetas cashmeres and a
material very much like lansdowne are
the best choice for afternoon gowns.
which may be utilized later for calls

with taffeta or cloth costumes a
little cockade to match is worn in the

and knots OF velvet the color Of the

Pretty glrdles and stocks are made
OF plaid ribbons to be worn with
simple morning gowns. The stocks
are a straight band with a sailor knot
and have a fine linen turnover at the
top.
Nearl all braids have the shir thread
in the edges. which draws up to form
designs. Braids are as popular as ever
and are on all sorts Of material-from
cloth and velvet to chiffon.
The long skirt which rests on the
floor all the way around is in order
for every kind of house gown. In the
back the skirt is made longer. but the
slope is gradual. the pointed train
