FIND A CURE IN BEE sriNos.

Rheumatism and Gout.

Not a cure for the stipgs of bees, but
the sting of bee rs cure for some
hing else--namely, rheumatism or
govt The belief that rheumatic pains
may be relieved b. allowing bee to
sting the affected part is prevalent in
vid1ly distant lands. 1t has been
clasged by many with other odd popu-
lar cures such as splitting on the bot
som OF stone to cure warts and soon.
But there is no doubt that, in this case,
tradition is correct for the bee cure
has been tested and reported upon too
often by reputable physicians to admit
Of error.
An Oxford professor has recently
spent some time>in tracing the origin
and history OF this queer but effective
method Of treatment. 1t first appears
in print, SO far as he could find, about
fifty years ago in Partisan medical
journal, inJthe shape OF an account OF
the experiences of a French beekeeper
who, finding rheumatic trouble Of
long standing relieved by the acciden-
tai sting of bee on his wrist, caused
bees TO sting him in other parts of the
body, and so YVES cured. Since his day
the cure appears frosl time to time in
medical literature, oiien as supposed
new discovery. 1t has been successful
ly employed in many parts of the
world. Dir. Fere, an Austrian physi-
clan, has record of about seven hun
dred cases in which he has used it.
The sting causes considerable pain,
but this soon ceases, as the part be-
gins to swell, and after two or three
such treatments the rheumatism disap-
pears for SIX months or SO.

FLOCK MATING.
II Perhaps Is, Good Method Undes
Certain Conditions,

Many breeders of pure bred poultry
have eggs for sale from specially ma
ted pens, and from yards where they
practice flock mating, or where num-
Der of hens are running with several
males. Flock mating is all right, where
the males are Of good quality, If an
egg machine or a carcass only is re-
quired but flock mating will not as a
rule produce fancy specimens for the
show room Flock mating on free
range will give more fertile eggs than
can come frcm hens confined to a
small yard In mating in this way
however it is best to choose males
as Dearly uniform as possible; full
brothers are best. Breeders frequently
alternate males in a pen to, secure
best fertility, and we have heard It
claimed that where the males are as
nearly alike in shape, size, and color
ing as possible, AID carry the same
blood lines, that better show bird is
produced than is the product of the
single mating with one male. We
question this latter statement, yet we
would rather run males alternately
with the females, than at the same
time. The interfering attention of
various males is sometimes distinct
drawback to fertility.

The Smooth Nax,

In the last generation Tyler Cobb.
Esq, was well-known citizen CT
North Bridgewater- ReGcyt3n-
Massachusetts,. He. was famous
throughout Plymouth county, says a
contributor to the Boston Herald, for
ais witty retorts and dry humor
Never having taken a sea trip, Nj
Cobb one day conceived the idea Of
making a voyage to New York. Ao
cordingly he sailed from Boston in a
small schooner.
The first day out storm was en-.
countered and Mr.. Cobb became vic.
lently sick, but after several hours he
mustered up courage and strength to
look out upon the troubled waters.
AS he looked from the side OF the
little ship UP the trough of the sea, it
seemed very smooth to him. The car.
tain's cutting of the waves was sense
less" he told himself.
But as this mad steering continued,
the unhappy passenger finally crawled
out, on hands and knees, to where the
captain stood at the wheel, and rails
ing his voice above the din of waves
and wind, shouted:
MAN, man, keep in the ruts, keep in
the ruts!"-Youth's Companion.

BUTTER-MAKlNG ADVICE.
Practical Suggestion from a Woman
Who Is Experienced Hand.


Mrs A. Joseph woman farmer,
has written very interesting article
OF Gus;er making. She writes as fol-
lows:
Wien butter is high, why should we
buy it when it can be made at home
with very little expense and trouble?
With two good cows one can have
all the milk and cream needed for
the table and cooking and at the same
time make enough butter for a family
of six, seven or eight.
Never keep a COW that gives less than
200 pounds of butter fat per year. as
1t will take about 80 pounds Of but
ter fat to keep her, and you want
some profit.
Alfalfa meal and middlings are by
far the best and cheapest food, and
of course she should have hay food
also. 1t is. well to give her some green
feed, too, such as grass and, carrots,
and if near a cider mill and the pulp
ean be procured it will make excellent
God
Do not keep COW in a dark barn
or shed that does not admit the sun
light. Put windows in 1t that will
let in the light and sunshine to every
corner. This will help keep off the
Tread tuberculosis to which many
COWS are subject.
The milk should be kept clean, and
after straining if one has no sep
arator) should be poured into ordi-
aary milk cans and kept in cool,
dry place.
Some claim that if the milk is
warmed slightly before straining the
cream will rise more quickly. 1t is
also remarkable that if the pantry,
milk house or wherever the milk is
kept is light the cream vii rise better
and be richer color.
When the cream becomes thick
enough skim it carefully and see that
no milk is mixed with it. Set it in a
large crock to sour. When 1t becomes
thick and sour it is ready for churn-
ing. Alittle over two quarts of cream
will make two pounds of butter
II one has no churn very inex-
pensive way of ehurning is the fol-
lowing:
Place the cream in a cool milk
crock. Then with a very heavy wire
eggbeater beat the cream with long,
quick strokes-just the stroke you
would use in beating eggs.
Do not stir around, as it spoils the
grain. of the butter. Continue beat
ing until the cream becomes thick and
forms into little grains
Remove the beater and stir the
cream with small-sized butter pad
die until all the grains are gathered
together.
Save the buttermilk. as it can be
used for a good many things If one
has no pigs to enjoy It.
Drain the butter well; press in sew
eraI places with the paddle and place
under a faucet of cold water, or pour
the water over it, repeating seyera!
times ard taking care to drain as
much of the milky water out as pos
sible, each time.
When it is Thoroughly drained wash
the paddles in cold water and sprinkle
with salt. The butter should also be
sprinkled with salt, about a table
spoonful to each pound of butter.
Mix the salt in thoroughly with the
paddles, place it on cool plate or
mold into whatever shape is desired.
Wooden butter molds are good and
small stamps can be bought for a
small sum. but one can form the but
ter nicely with the paddles.
