London is undoubtedly leading the
world in the matter of women's
clubs. Twenty-one years ago there
was not a single institution of the
kind; now there are thirty. There are
also several mixed clubs, of which
the women members number about a
thousand.

Rural TeIeDhoneS.

Don't travel, telephone" IS q good
motto for these strenuous days. The
rural telephone is a money saving, time
saving and travel saving addition to
the farm. 1t is as valuable as any
other labor saving machine. 1t costs
time, money and horse flesh to run err
rands il the country. 1t is much more
expensive than it is in town. In the
middle and northern States there are
about two hundred good outdoor work
ing days in the year. Men are scarce
labor l., expensive. and a farmers time
is especially valuable during the sum-
mer season. Recent improvements il
telephones have removed the last OBJ
lection to their use, and the cost is so
without one.
In addition to its value in business
way it brings a family in close touch
with town and with the neighbors. It
puts the farmer next door to everybody
and the social intercourse which fol-
lows is a strong factor in promoting
contentment, especially with the young
er members Of the family. As a pro-
lection against tramps it is the finest
institution ever invented, because the
farmers family with the phone in the
house is not isolated, but may call in
stantIy for help or use the phone to
warn near neighbors of the approach
of these unpleasant visitors.
The farmer can do more business
with the phone in half an hour than
he can do in the ordinary course Of
travel in the country in two or three
days. When once installed in a farm
house they are very seldom taken out.
This alone is sufficient proof of their
value. In these days of progress farm
ers must keep abreast of the times.
1t is only by doing business quickly
and in a business way that a farmer
can hope to meet with the measure Of
success that an enterprising man de-

Care of Dairy Utensils.

The great development of the use Of
hand separators on the farm, accom-
panied by sale of cream instead of milk
TO the creameries, has added another
difficulty to the production of good
creamery butter, in that many farmers
do not care for their separators prop
erly. This leads to the delivery Of
contaminated cream by some of the
patrons by means of which the entire
product is injured in quality. Bulletin
No. 131, Care of Dairy Utensils" just
issued by the Experiment station, de-
scribes the results obtained by the use
Of various systems of cleansing separa-
tors, and the necessity for rigid care in
this respect is prominently brought out.

Corn is great feed for hogs. No
healthy hog ever refuses corn, unless
he is already gorged with it But it is
not hard to gorge any hog on concen-
trated foods like tankage. 1t is not
wise to feed too much of this class Of
food to them. 1t is far better if pos
sible to give them as much protein as
possible in the various green foods that
contain it. In winter when the con-
centrated foods are necessary it is prob
able that they will do better on grains
chopped than on packing house tank
age. Milk is still better.

Many persons seem to think anything
good enough for a hog and not very
much of it. But it is not. 1t is a poor
way to make pork. by compelling them

way pigs should be required to make
their living is by gathering the alfalfa,
clover or other green stuff they eat in
a weli-covered pasture and a good feed
of grain along with it all.

of Serious Disease.

Few people seem to realize the rehl
dangers in disturbed. deficient or defec-
tive digestion.
While health reports do not give in
digestion as a cause Of death, yet it is
in reality often fatal. as it so weakens
the stomach that one becomes readily
susceptible to an attack OF typhoid
fever. kidney disease, nervous prostra-
tion or other serious or fatal disease.
At the first symptoms of indigestion,
Mi-o-na stomach tablets should be
used. II there is a feeling Of heaviness
in the stomach distress after eating,
nervousness dizziness, nausea, head
aches, sleeplessness, pains in the side
and limbs specks before the eyes. or a
peevish, irritable condition, with debil-
ity and weakness, begin the use Of Mi
o-na at once.
II will build up the stomach and di-
.gestive organs so that you can eat any
thing at any time without fear of dis
tress or indigestion.
A 5O-cent box Of Mi-o-na tablets will.
In most cases. give prompt relief and
cure. although in chronic and long

CARE OF CANARlEs.

A piece Of cutie bone is needed al
ways and now and then a lump Of
sugar.
Guard the cage from draft, from ex.
posure to cold at night and also from
TOO much heat.
Canary seed principally should be
given, though now and then a little
rape seed is beneficial.
DO not use a painted cage The bird
will peck the cage more or less. and the
paint thus imbibed is very injurious.
The larger the cage the better 1t is
for the birds. and If not new it should
be scalded and well dried before put
ting them into It.
Avoid frightening the birds in any
way. It is very easy to have them

but they do not like to be handled.
The cage should be thoroughly clean.

FINGER FELONS
There Are Three Varieties of These
Very Painful sorea.

Ahere Are Ihrcc varieties OF These
Very Painful sores.
A felon, or whltlow, 3 an inhamma-
ton of the hand or finger, usually Of
the last joint Of the finger. It's impor-
lance varies with the seat Of it-that is
to say, with the portion Of the finger
involved. 1t may affect the skin only,
the tendons or sinews or the ibrous
covering of the bone-the perlosteum.
A superficial whltlow, where the in
fiammation is confined 70 the skin. may
be extremely painful. but otherwise it
Is not a very serious matter. But this
cannot be said OF the other two forms.
In the tendlnous whitlow pus forms
in the fibrous sheath surrounding the
tendon. and unless the Inflammation
quickly subsidies or the matter is let
out by the surgeons knife the pus
may burrow down through the sheath
into the palm of the hand and result In
a permanent Gripping Of the member.
The third variety-called by ply
sicians the subperiosteal--is that in
which matter forms beneath the mem-
brane which covers the bone. AS this
membrane is tough and inelastic the
tension due to the increasing volume
Of matter becomes very great and gives
rise to a throbbing, maddening pain.
The relief afforded by a deep cut INTO
this infamed finger, right down to the
bone, is magical. although the cut
hurts. This is the only treatment for
this form of felon. and the incision
should be made early. for If It is too
long delayed the bone will be killed
and a discharging sore will remain
which will later necessitate surgical
operation even il it does not result In
the loss of the last joint Of the finger.
The superficial whitlow does not
usually call for such radical treatment
A clay poultice often affords great re
lief. This may be made by making
paste Of clay previously sterllized by
baking In a very hot oven and adding
glycerin to prevent too rapid drying, or
the clay may be obtained ready prepar.
ed in the drug store. This protects the
finger from injury, keeps it cool and, II
applied early enough, may prevent the
formation Of matter. When once pus
has formed, however, no matter what
the variety Of the felon, the safest plan
OF treatment is to cut into the inhamea
finger and give exit to the confined
matter and relieve the tension Of the
parts.-Youth's Companion.

THE GENTLE SEX
A Dressmaker's Advice

one Of the greatest savings in the
small neeessaries is to get them by the

Shields, ribbons to run in underwear,
and the muslin to make the latter with.
are all much below the prices asked in
retail shops. and by finding some friend
willing to halve the purchases and ex-
pense. this way Of buying is easily
possible. Laces can be bought for
much less. but three dozen yards OF
either edging or insertions are in each
packet, and these win not be divided
for customers. In the muslin the
pieces run from twelve yards to forty
or more. and the shields are by the
dozen. The ribbon must be bought
by the piece, but this last is the usual
manner Of purchasing the narrow width
1T is always worth while too, in
making undergaments, pillowcascs,
etc. which have to be washed con-
stantly. to use good four-fold linen
buttons. which WILL If properly sewed
on, wear out with the article Of dress.
The oid-fashioned way of stitching
the buttons on in a circle or across in
a wheel are very apt to tear the but
ton. A much firmer method of secur-
ing them is to take strong cotton ana
make a tight. close, buttonholed loop
across the button, like the substitutes
for eyes used in dressmaking.
"The loop should be made OF five or
six strands of cotton before it is hut
tonholed to make It strong. Finish fl
off firmly and neatly at the back and
there will be no fear Of the button
coming off until scissors are applied
when 1t becomes too old and bent for
