Farmer. Not to blame.

OF all men, our farmers are most In
/ terested in the enactment and enforce.
ment OF pure food laws. Not that tney
are particularly affected by food adul-
! teratlon, for they take almost every
thing they eat right from the hand OF
nature. But they are concerned that
the stuff they produce shall reach the
city neighbor who uses 1t as fresh, pure
and wholesome as possible.
1t is In way a reflection upon the
farmer that milk, butter, fruits and
other things which come from the
farms of the country are Impure and
so calculated to work injury to the
life and health of the nation. SO they
are doing all in their power to bring
about tht best legislation on this sub
ject. They also desire that the laws
already enacted shall be put into eff ett
Therefore they welcome the sugges-
ton of DR.. Wiley. chief of the bureau
of chemistry of the department of agri-
culture at Washington, that the ma
tlonal government shall set the stand

butter fat.
Our farmers are now producing milk
that averages very closely to per cent.
Few Of them are satisfied with any
thing below that point. And they do
not like to be told, as they have been
many times, that the average for milk
sold in the markets of the country Is
far below that standard. 1t Is not
their fault that 1t is so, and they want
the crime, for it Is little less than a
crime to thus debase the milk supply
of the country, placed where it belongs,
and punishment inflicted accordingly.
The same thing is true touching all
other farm products. The farmers
want 1t just as good as nature gave
it to them when it reaches the table
of the man who uses it.

Gardening Suggestions.

The main cabbage crop may be trans
planted during June or July, and a
crop of millet or Hungarian grass may
be put in II desired. In some sec
lions the sweet potato crop does not
get fully transplanted before June.
Carrots, beets and parsnlps should
always be put in the ground early, yet
1t Is not too late to make good crops
OF them in June, provided rain falls
during the time the seed is in. The
turnip crop is one of the most import
ant, and the putting in of the seed may
be deferred until any time after a
good rain, but farmers must prepare
their lands well for late crops, espe-
cially II the seeds are fine or of a
kind that does not terminate quickly.
Good preparation is one OF the essen
tlals to good growth and capacity to
withstand drought.

An excellent suggestion Is that made
by a woman TO take down the number
OF railroad tickle. when travelling. II

division takes It up by mistake there is
good proof that the ticket was bought
An Incident occurred which proves the
value Of the suggestion. The conduc-
tor on one division took up woman's
ticket, and ON the next division the
ticket was demanded. She explained
the situation and was able to give the
number of the ticket The conductor
telegrapbed back and verified the
claim, thus sparlng the traveller much
trouble and inconvenience.

From experiments carried on with
chemically pure lime and sulphur, it
appears to the author Of a government
bulletin that solid sulphur is not dis
solved by boiling fifteen minutes, but
that the best results are obtained by
boiling from forty-five to sixty min
utes. A boiling period of one hour
is sufficient to dissolve nearly all of
the sulphur, but the thiosulphates are
somewhat increased by a longer period.
Salt apparently has no influence
upon the composition of the wash in
so far as the sulphur compounds are
concerned. The slight differences in
the composition of the wash, as used
by different Investigators, have little or
no influence upon the time required
for boiling. When lime and sulphur
are used in equal quantities there is
more than enough lime to dissolve the
sulphur. These substances may be
used in the proportion of one pound Of
lime to one and one-quarter pounds of
sulphur. About twenty-five pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons is maximum
quantity.
1t appears that the use of air-slaked
lime has no influence on the compo-
sltion of the wash, and that there is
likewise practically no difference in
composition whether flowers Of sui
phur or flour Of sulphur Is used. De-
tailed notes are also given on the COM
position of lime-sulphur wash with
particular reference to the different
kinds of sulphur compounds. 1t is
found that not all Of the sulphur is
dissolved by the heat generated by
caustic soda, but the suggestion is
made that wash containing ten
pounds of caustic soda and nineteen
pounds of sulphur per fifty gallons of
water without lime may give satisfac-
tory results.

| prevention OF Consum ptloA.
Although the new method OF treat
ing consumption by open air and full
feeding, which has become Of late so
general, has accomplished wonders In
the way Of curing, or at least Of ar
resting the progress Of the disease,
| 1t is destined to be productive Of still
greater good to the race In preventing
| this terrible scourge. The belief that
tuberculosis can be inherited has been
generally abandoned, but the fact re-
mains that the child of tuberculouS-
parents Is In danger. He may not ac-
quire the disease by direct heredity,
but he often has legacy Of weakened
resisting power which predisposes him
to the attacks Of any infectious dis
ease; and as he Is peculiarly exposed
to tuberculosis In the home where the
malady prevails, 1t is no wonder that
he sooner or later acquires it.
That he may be saved from this fate
demands the cooperation of two per-
sons-hlmself and the person who Is
already a sufferer. The sick person
must use the greatest care to destroy
the expectorated matter, and also to,
prevent communicating the air by q
bacillus-laden spray when he coughs.
The sputum should be deposited In a !.
special receptacle-a paper napkin
which can be Immediately burned, or
cardboard box which can be used
number of times and then thrown into
the fire.
When coughing he should hold q
handkerchief before the face, and In
speaking he should never stand very
close to the person addressed. The
sufferer should never kiss any one, and
in receiving a kiss should offer the
cheek or the forehead.
Napkins and handkerchlefs used by
him should not go into the common
wash and for additional safety they
had better be of paper and be burned
after use
The person who has not yet the dis
ease, but who Is predisposed thereto,
should follow the same rules as one

ease, although perhaps less vigorously.
He should sleep in the open air, or at
least by an open window, and should
be outdoors as much as possible during
the day. The hours of study should b
short-never at highland the time
spent in school cut down as far as pos
sible.
The food should be very nourishlQg.-
with plenty of butter, salad oil and
other digestlble fats, and a glass Of
milk should be taken in the middle Of
the morning and of the afternoon and
shortly before bedtime. The source Of
the milk should be known, for that
from a diseased COW may be itself the
carrier of tuberculous germs. Fatigue
should be avoided and the hours of
sleep long.
If a child has adenoid growths they
should be removed, and deep breathing
taught until it becomes a habit. Bath
ing or sponglng with cool or cold water
should be a daily morning habit. In
short, everything should be done to
the natural powers of resist
ance, and to build up a good constitu-
don.-Youth's Companion.

dimensions desired and reaches from
the loft to just above the manger In
the stall below, placing it at a height
SO that the horse can get at the hay
readily. AS shown in the cut the box
should be wider at the bottom than
at the top to prevent the hay from

be fitted with two or more light iron

though far from being on the high
road to obesity, Insist on nipping their

effect from that they seek. 1t Is not

Selecting Mich Cows.

That one COW can be made to do the
work Of two has been found to be
easily accomplished by the selection Of
the best individuals. A Vermont dairy
man, whose cows produced 100 pounds
of butter each per year, has succeed
ed in getting 200 pounds per year from
each COW in the herd. Dalrymen In
other sections have done fully as well.
1t is claimed that If one COW gives
as much as formerly did two, there
Is saving in stable room, labor and
care. This cannot be accomplished.

on the farm, or purchased from Inn

when Love Has Gone.

The wife whose husband has grown
weary of her has a difficult problem
says Dorothy Dix, In the Philadelphia
Bulletin. she can not ruthlessly cut
the marriage tie and give the mar

is to let her husband have a free rein
and long rein. Nothing is to pc
gained by tears and reproaches, a
always throwing up to the recrea
spouse his sacred duty.
Doubtless IL is our duty TO love t

strange is the curious bond of we'd

fact that woman Is his wife, whether
he loves her or not, gives her a pres
