About Back Yards.
Thorough Cleaning is Desira-
BILE Just Now.

1t i probably not wide OF the
mark TO say that Savannah is
one of the cleanest cities in the
United States, says the Savannah
Morning News. There are abun-
dant reasons why it should be
clean and attractive. The streets
are wide and practically every
block is divided by a lane, de.
signed for the purpose Of facilit-
ating cleanliness of premises.
The system Of sanitary inspec-
ton, too, has done much TO i'm
prove conditions. Nevertheless,
there are some householders who
need to be continually spurred to
a realization of the sense Of duty
they owe to keeping their back
yards clean.
With the approach of the warm
season It is highly desirable that
back yards should receive prompt
attention In the way of a through
cleaning. There is no telling from
the front appearance Of house,
or from the parlor and the living
rooms, what the back yard is
like. In many instances a house
whose front view is bright with
flowers and cheerful with fresh.
green grass, presents a back yard
that would be difficult of accurate
description. Its corners are litter
ed with all sorts of rubbish, old
barrels containing bottles, old
shoes, tin cans, and ell manner
of refuse, stand along the fence
or in the jambs. The weeds grow
rank there may be a leaky swill
barrel dripping it's sour contents
on the ground the chicken coops
may be foul, and the stable Of
the horse more or less menace
to the neighborhood. A dirty
back yard, especially one in
which slop water is thrown from
the kitchen window, means q
pest Of flies, and possibly mos
quitues also, if there is stagnant
water left standing anywhere a:
and medical science has taught
us that flies and mosquitoes are
among the greatest distributors
Of various sorts of fevers. The
block in which all back yards
are kept clean and wholesome is
rarely plagued by either flies or
mosquitoes.
The sanitary inspectors should
be particularly vigilant at this
season of the year in requiring
cleanliness in back yards. but
househOlders should not wait to
be "JaCked up" by the inspectors,
For their own comfort. not to say
safety from illness, they ought to
take prompt steps Of their own
initiative TO put their premises
into first class sanitary condi-
ton.

Dairy Notes.
By Shepherd.

Very warm cream makes soft
white butter.
Sixty degrees is as hot as cream
should be made.
Keep the cream as near sixty
degrees "a possible while waiting
for the cb~rn.
Keep the asture rid of noxious
weeds to have milk and butter of
fine flavor.
The milk should be drawn from
the cow as fast as possible, but at
the same time no animal likes it.
To get the best results from a
dairy cow, her treatment should
be as gentle and quiet as possible.
Size and weight beyond certain
economic measures is a sure hand
leap TO dairy COW.
The home raised cow possesses
nany advantages over one that is
purchased. The owner then knows
her peculIarities and can fashion
her habits.
One great trouble in summer
csaurnIng is the guess work about
the temperature Of the cream
The only safe plan is to use It
thermometer.
Good butter should be solid
from the time it leaves the butter
maker until 1t is consumed on the
tsDle.
In milking, there should be as
kEtie excitement as possible, and
al effort made TO feed, water and
clean cows at regular times.

always an enormous mixer. nor
Is thick, yellow skin an iunfa!-

1t is pretty well settled that the

have supposed.

FROM EXPOSURE,
Remains Of A|onzo J. ".
Merrill Found in Woods .
Near Sebec Lake, Not Far
From Where Last Seen.
Wandered Away While Densnied and EYi-
IDENTITY Died From Exposure.

F"Ncroft, Me, June 20. Special -

hunting for Alonzo j. w. Merrill in the
woods near Sebec lake today discov-
cred the body of the man on the shore
Of the lake. not many miles from the
Drawn home, where he was last seen
alive. 1t is supposed he persisted from
hunger and exposure.
Merrill. who was well along in years,
left tho home of James Drawn Sunday,
June 1f and had rot since been seen
alive. The woods in North Foxcrofi
and near Sebcc lake have been swarm
ing with searching parties since that
time but absolutely no trace of the man
was discovered until late yesterday
afternoon when his trousers, vest,
watch and hat were discovered near
Bennett pond by searchers.
From the appearance of the clothes
it could be seen that the man had been
having Il hard experience and the
search was on with renewed vigor
The whole section was thoroughly gone
over with the result that his remains
were found today. His body was ter
riby emaciated from hunger. In the
woods near where he was found there
were signs of his having attempted to
build fires.
1t is supposed that the man was de-
mented when he wandered away and
perhaps recovered his mind only 10

means of knowing of his whereabouts
or the way to civilization. The remains
were brought to Dover late this even

age. The arrangements for the funeral
