To Riuen Cream.

Cream left to itself will become sour
spontaneously. This is the result of
the growth of Tactic acid bacteria,
which feed upon the milk sugar, and
as a final process convert it into a lac
tic acid. Other forms of bacteria are
always present in cream; some have
little or no effect in the ripening proc
ess, while others, if allowed to de-
yelop, produce undesirable and often
obnoxious fiavors, To cultivate and de-
velop these wild" germs is called
Spontaneous ripening, and is often at
tended with uncertainty. Good butter
making demands the use Of starter, y
either homemade or pure culture,
The former should be made of selected

heening HOES Clean.

To give the pigs a thorough scrub
bling may appear to be labor thrown
away. but if two lots of pigs are treat
ed alike in every respect, except that
one lot receives thorough scrubbing
with soapsuds once in a while, there
will be marked difference in favor
of the hogs that are washed when the
time for slaughter arrives. A clean
bed of straw with dry house, so as
to afford them comfort at night, will
also promote thrift and growth. The
hog is naturally a clearly animal and
ENJOYS a bath. If considered a filthy
animal, that devours filthy food, it is
because of the treatment given. Hogs
will select clean and wholesome food
if given the opportunity to do so.

MEANING IN ORIENTAL RUGS.
Significance Among Eastern Nations of
the Colors Used

Not only the designs but the coIorS
Of rugs woven In the Orient are full of
significance.
They represent national or individual
traditions, they stand for virtues and
vices, social Importance or social ostra-
cism.
They are the result, says The Elec-
tic Church Magazine, of the political
and religious histories Of the countries
in which they were made.
Tyrian purple is almost universally re-
garded as royal.
Red was regarded by the Egyptians as
symbolic of fidelity.
Green has been chosen by the Turk
as his gala color, but he would not APP
prove its use in rugs where it would be
irodden by the feet.
Rose tints signify the highest wisdom,
black and indigo sorrow, with the Per-
slams. Preference for duller tone Of
color among the Persians give to all
their ambroideries and other products of
the loom Il certain richness and dignity.

Tricks of SmuuuIers.

Double-bottomed bottles and other
vessels are common contrivances for
smugglers. In order not to awaken
suspicion they are usually filled with
some beverage, beer or wine, and this
is duly declared by the man in charge
of the vehicle in which they are car
ried. At the present time. however,
the officers are never deceived by the
double-bottomed bottles, nor, for that
matter, by the hollow horse collar,
which at one time was favorite dodge
for the alcohol smuggler.

slightly above one-half an inch long,
dark green above and pale beneath,
being so arranged, by the twisting of
their short petioles, as to appear two

to the twig. The cones are as long or
slightly longer than the leaves, while
the scales are broad and obtuse. They
hang from the tips of the branches and
often persist for months after the

the tree is used for tanning on account

FARM NOTES.

Hitch your horses in the field. A
strap and weight cost little. They
may save dollars where they cost
cents.
Remember that the slightest touch
OF frost on the top of squash will
spoil it's keeping qualities. If there
is danger of a frosty night, and you
do not wish to gather them, throw a
bran sack over each one.
Don't fool any time away with the
glib-tongued stranger who wants to
sell you mining stock that is going
to double itself next week, or any in
vestment that promises a big per cent,
for the chances are that he cannot de-
liver the goods.
Be careful about fixing traps for
yourself when you are carrying bags
of grain into the granary. Make a
good, solid set of steps. Many have
fallen and broken their limbs or hurt
themselves for life by trusting tusram-
shackle ladders. Don't you be one of
them.
Draining makes heavy soil better

Mlcrobe of GRAY Hair.

They have discovered a new mic
robe in New York and it is quite popu-
lar among actors and society women.
1t is called the chromophage, its spe-
cial function being to turn the hair
gray at comparatively early age. The
handsome actor who has those white
hairs on his temple that the women
admire so is full of the chromophages.
Baldheaded men are immune from the
microbes. He only attacks the hair,
and a man without hair need not wor-
ry about the chromophage. For years
1t was thought that a process of the
blood killed the coloring matter Of the
hair cells, but scalpologists in New
York combat that theory. They say
1t is the chromophage. The microbe
does not like heat and for that reason
the woman who uses the curling tongs
is less likely to have gray hair than
tho one who puts her hair UP in pa
pers.

recommend the pills to everyone who
is ailing and take every opportunity to
let people know how good they are.''
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have a very decided action upon the
nerves and they have cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa.
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vitus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.
