Food value of Buttermilk.

Buttermilk is nutritious and
wholesome food, or drink, and it is
relished by great many people.
There is a good sale for it in all towns
and cities of any size. The quality of
buttermilk, like all other foods, is de-
termined by the way it is prepared.
To secure the most wholesome prod
uct, keep the milk as pure and clean
as possible, use the most pure water
obtainable and practice absolutely clean
methods in churning. 1t must be held
at low temperature in order to have
it fresh for any great length of time.

MEANING OF THE GREEN BOUGH.
It Is Placed on New Houses That Bad
Spirits May Roost in It.

The custom of placing a green bough
on the roof OF newly built house is
not confined to Germany but was adopt
ed by the French Canadians, who
brought it with them from Brittany.
The custom originated from the SUI
perstition prevalent centuries ago that
every tree is inhabited by a spirit. Con-
sequently it was believed that every
time a tree was felled another spirit
was dispossessed. and this was supposed
to cause some bitterness on his part
against society.
Rather than risk having these home
less and disgruntled spirits vent their

struction or upon the builders, says Van
Norden's Magazine, branch was plant
ed on the highest part of the house for
their occupancy. They were then sup
posed to be Modified, and if they re-
manned SO until the roof was put on
any evil design contemplated would
prove harmless, for the spell would be
broken.

Destroying water Hyacinth.

Spraying is the methed followed at
the present time by the government
in destroying the water hyaclnth,
which has proved serious impedi-
ment to navigation on many of the
Southern rivers of this country. A
great number of suggestions have
been tried, and the fine spraying pro-
cess has been found to be the most
effectual and economical. Two gov
erRment boats are engaged in the
work. Each is equipped with tanks
for the boiling of mixture of white
arsenic, sal soda and water. This is
sprayed on the plants, and as the lat
ter are about SO per cent water there
is very little residue after they wilt

the plants absolutely has been proved
in every case where the conditions
were such as to prevent the introduc-

The young orchard should be Guilt
waited, but not with grain or grass
crops. Corn, potatoes, beans or other
vegetables, we'll cultivated, are ideal
for a young orchard. The ground
should be stirred every two or three
weeks until the middle of August In
going through the orchard with the
harrow, care should be taken not to
injure, bruise or bark" the trees. To
avoid this, the horses ought to be
muzzled and the outside portions of

Effects Of Lining Soil.

in Aroostook County, Maine, shows
that, while lining is exceedingly bene-
fetal to the grass and clover crops,
even moderate application of lime
to the soils in that section leads to
considerable increase in the amount
of scab on the potato crop, even after
three years in grain and grass. Two
successive crops Of potatoes ON lined
soils after two years in grass showed
an alarming increase of scab on the
second year crop.

fastener pressed out of sheet metal in
serted between the teeth and the back
of the bar, with corresponding
round notch in the tooth to receive
the fastener. Thus, one fastener
holds all the teeth in the bar.

Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee have the undesirable distinc-
ton of being the only states in the
Union where the slaughter of robins
is permitted by law Recent investi-

600 robins are killed in these three
states during the winter months. 1t
is fact that every robin earns 81 in

to appeal to the hard, common sense
of every farmer. 1t ought TO be
