For time they had operated bril-

many new customers who follow

Now they were losing their customers
as well as their money. and Hennings,
Crease & Jennings were winning their
business away.
Hennings and Nixon had been bitter
enemies for years, and Nixon would
rather have lost outright double what
he had dropped than that he should
have lost it to the man who had stolen
from him the girl he loved. He could
not believe that any one in the Office
should be guilty of treachery, and yet
Hennings appeared to have informa-
ton of his moves almost before they
had been made.

1t is not generally known how many
of our Christmas customs are almost
identical with those of the Druids in
early England. For example, the Yule
log is said to have come from the
wheel log symbolizing the march Of
the sun Then the mistletoe was a sa.
cred bush among the Druids. They had
a trinity of their own, and the white
berries, which are often found in
punches of three, were to them a di-
vine symbol. The carrying about Of

CLEAN MILK.

MiIlt SupuIy.

Milk supply.
Keep the cows clean and do not com
pei or allow them TO wade and live in
filth. This means clean yards and
clean, well bedded stalls. Every thing
short Of this is positiTely repulsive and
should not he tolerated any longer in
a civilized community.
Stop the filthy practice known rs
"wetting the teats," by which is meant
the drawing OF 4 little milk into the
hands with which to wet the teats be-
fore and during milking, leaving the
excess of filthy milk to drop from the
hands and teats into the pail.
Wash all utensils clean by first using
lukewarm water, afterward washing
i'll warm water and rinsing in an album
dance Of boiling water. then exposing
until the next using in direct sunlight,
which is a good "teriiizer.
Use milk pals. caEJ. etc. for no 9th
or purpose but to hold milk.
Keep ont Of these utensils all sour or
tainted milk. even after they have been
used for the day. Using them for this
purpose at any time infects them so
badly that 10 amount of washing is
likely TO clean them. Bacteria are in

place in the thin film of moisture that
remains after dishes are apparently

Planting rotatoes In the Fail

The climate OF the upper peninsula of
Michigan is distinguished from that Of
the lower peninsula by the greater
depth of snow in winter and by the
fact that the covering of snow is both
certain and continuous. The ground
seldom freezes at the recently estab-
lished branch of the state experiment
station in the upper peninsula station.
Potatoes may safely be planted in the
fall with the certainty that they will
not be frozen during the winter This
station has developed the plan of
planting potatoes IL the fall relying
upon the continuous covering of deep
snow to protect the seed from freezing.
No great advantage in yield is found
by adopting this method, but the crop
Is considerably earlier. Level culture
is practiced OF the varieties of pota-
toes the Sir Waiter Raleigh has. s,n
