Use Soap AZ Economy.

Soap in its modern form seem>
rather to be an evolution of economy
and commercial convenience than an
evidence of a great accession to
cleanliness. The rich to-day in their
homes use unguents, oils, meals and
bath powders in preference to 1t. A
lather is not in this age as pictur-
esoue as the old method, when a
slave poured liquid soap over her mis-
tress from a costly jar before the fair
>ather stepped down into the water.

xu.od Seeds In Manure.

r. is well known that there is con-
siderable risk of introducing new
weeds by the purchase of manure and
hay and other feeding stuffs. E. l.

Keeping Cream Sweet.

The first step in keeping cream
sweet Is to keep 1t as clean as pos
sible. Clean cream cannot be produced
by filthy methods of milking nor by
handling the cream or milk in unclean
utensils. Milk cans, stfrrers and pals
should be thoroughly scalded in hot
water and dried and exposed to the
sunlight and pure air.
The next step is to remove the ami
NAL heat from the cream as soon as
possible after separating. Run the
cream from the separator into a con-
venient utensil for cooling. A 3 or s.
gallon shotgun can is most convent.
ent. Cool the cream in we'll water
by stirring. In a few minutes It can
be reduced to the temperature Of the
water. After the cream is cooled it
can be added to the cream contained
in the supply can used in delivering
cream to the station. The cream sup
ply can, while being filled and held for
delivery, should be kept in water at
as near the temperature of freshly
pumped water as possible. The aver
age temperature of we'll water in
Kansas is about Sc degrees. With it
cream can easily be held at So or so
degrees, and at this temperature will
remain sweet for delivery in good
shape at the station.-Kansas Farmer.

Peaches are more liable to roe IN
damp and muggy weather than when
cool and dry. Some varieties are
more subject to rot than others That
all varieties with fuzz on .ncn are
less liable to rot than thu smoother
varieties does not agree with my en-
perience.
Neither can correct conclusion be
drawn from one or two seasons ex
perience, for soil, location, fertilization
and culture also are factors in the rot
problem. Fruit on a rankly-grown
tree is much more subject to rot than
on one more moderately grown. Yet
l think the weather has more to do
with 1t than any one factor. One
year all our early peaches were quite
subject to rot, while the next year
there was very littlA rot Yet with un.
favorable weather Champions were
practically total Toss, Crosby, stump
and late varieties practically free.
do not think the matter of fuzz vs.
rot worth considering as a factor in
setting an orchar1, except people do
not wish to buy fuzz
In regard to hardness of bud, a
good frost peact we'll grown will stand
more cold than any other peach tree
we ever had en- our grounds. And
varieties of the frost type (if may
call them SOY, Crosby, Pratt's, Hills
Chilli, etc., are more hardy in bud
than many other varieties, especially
of the Crawford class, but with the
varieties of the Chinese type, which
bear young and have hardy bud
what little hardness, if any, the fuzzy
varieties possess above them Is much
more than offset by their failings.-

Some of the old-time dairymen are
coming around to the belief that red
clover such as was grown around Den
yer twenty-five or thirty years ago. Is
better forage for the production or
milk than is alfalfa as grown nova
DAYS. Certain it is that we are not
now getting the quality of milk that
was produced a quarter of a century
ago. when nearly everybody had
little patch of clover. 1t was quite
natural. however. that we should have
exchanged the old friend for the new
for the reason that red clover is b1en-
NAL in it's habit of growth and under
the most ideal conditions will not FUR
nish more than two cuttings OF hay
in a season. On the other hand, al
falfa is a perennial plant. and wnen
once established will continue to pro-
duce four and frequently five crops
in a season for several years In sue
cession. and this is why our da1rymen
have chung to it through all these
years like a pup to root. We are
10th to concede that red clover is the
better forage in the production OF
milk. but it does look that way, and
we know farmers in different parts
of the State who are taking up Its
culture quite Observation-Disclosures

r-,,t Tree Doctor Fake.

The latest fake practiced on farm
ers is done by man who visits the
place and claims that he has been
sent ont nv the State to examine fruit
tree diseases, says an exchange. The
fellow will go over the orchard and
mark all trees which he claims are af-
fected. Shortly after his visit a con-
federate will appear and say that he
has a preparation which will cure the
disease for which the tree Is con-
demned and will contract to inject a
fluid into the roots for certain price.
Both men are swindlers and should be
run of the place with shotgun. The
only men empowered to inspect orch
ards are the county inspectors. who
are known to most fruit growers.

Coos Own Gentlemen.

A scene long TO be- remembered
and one worthy of q monument more
inspiring than the carven record OF
any triumph OF war. or than any
column raised ~ commemorate great
commercial or scientific achieve
ments, was Witnessed last Monday
Afternoon at the wreck of Mr.. Leo
Wathen's house only lately burnt to
the ground. A casual visitor to the
site OF this gentleman s former abode
might on the occasion we refer TO,
have seen eighteen or nineteen of
his friends and neighbors working
with that energy, speed aud zeal
which only sympathy and charity
can supply, at the task of clearing
away the ruins of q once happy
home. 1t was truly sight to make
the angels Of God rejoice, and to
convince men that the ages of true
brotherhood and Christian helpful
ness are not yet passed away from
our land. st. Mary's County may
be backward as far as railroads go
said Mr.. Wathen deeply touched
at this action of his friends, but
when it comes to kindness of heart
to fellow in distress, st. Mary's
County shows far up to the front,
every time"
Busy and intelligent farmers with
their we'll trained teams can make
the dirt fly; and it is little wonder
that within hours the cucumber ed
ground was completely cleaned up:
so that where broken walls and
burnt timbers had been lying in dis
couraging confusion, there soon ap-
peared on inviting space on which
we trust that Mr.. Watheu can soon
begin to erect q new home for him
self and his worthy wife.
He had not expected such timely
and consoling aid, and even tried to
dissuade Father Stanton, his pas
tor, from issuing invitations to the
relief party that worked so quickly
and successfully over the ruins.
But be desires to give uustiuted ut
terance of his gratitude to God 8
own gentlemen who so unselfshly
came to help to restore his home
and fireside. The deed OF these
gentlemen reaches to the top-most
mark of true civilization and practi-
cal Christianity. The following are
the names OF some OF those who were
present at this notable and edifying
event.-Mr. Leo Watheu, Father
Stanton. Messrs ]. Leach, N.
