Maraschino Cherries.

Pit the cherries and weigh them,
saving all the juice. To every four
pounds of fruit there must be two
pounds of sugar and a cup of liquid.
Enough juice should exude during the
stoning process to furnish the liquid,
but if not add little water Make a
strip of the sugar and water, set at
the side of the range and bring to the
boiling point. Take from the fire and.
while still warm but not scalding hot,
pour the strip over the cherries. Set
aside for half an hour, then put over
the fire in a porcelain lined kettle and
heat slowly. Boil for five minutes,
take out the fruit with skinner,
boil the strip for twenty minutes,
Swimming off the scum as it rises
and, just before taking from the fire,
add a pint of Maraschino cordial for
every four quarts of fruit Pack the
cherries in jars, fill each jar to over
flowing with the liquid and seal.

THE PRICE OF WHALEBONE.
Shrinkage in Weight and Other Causes
Raise It's Value.

The assertion that an attempt is be-
ing made to corner the whalebOne sup
ply of the world and boost the price to
50 a pound is denied by William j.
Lewis, of the ship chandlery firm Of
Lewis, Anderson FOard & Co., of Seat
Bedford, through whose hands all the
whalebOne of the world passes.
There has been No attempt to raise
the price of bone nor will there be such
a move" said Mr.. Lewis this morning.
The sale of bone last year amounted to
about 100000 pounds and will probably
be the same this year. There has been
no market for bone yet, nor will there be
until this fall. There is on hand at the
storehouses in New Bedford more than
100000 pounds of bone, or enough to sup
ply the market of the world for the next
two years. In order to prevent q con-
gestiOn of the market, the whaling COM
panies decided not to go to the expense
of sending out whalers this year and
with one exception the boats are laid
up at San Francisco. The Karluk went
to the Arctic on private venture, but
her owners should be the last to object
TO the price of bone being placed at So,
for the higher the figure the more their
bone can demand.
"A price of So a pound for bone does
not mean the ordinary whalebone de-
livere6 at Nome. 1t means So a pound
in Paris for the prize bone, which is
twice as much as it is worth here There
is a big, shrinkage in the weight of
whalebone amounting to 5 20 Is per cent
from Nome here, 10 to 20 per cent. from
Seattle to New Bedford and 5 to 10 per
cent. from New Bedford to Paris, MAX
ing a shrinkage in value of from 81 to
$3.50 a pound. The bone here is worth
from so cents for common to $3.50 a
pound for the prize bone, measuring from
IL to ii feet in length.-Seattle Times.

Gasoline VS.. a Hired Man.

Then there's our gasoline engine. l
kept track of it once for three weeks.
1t pumped water to the house and to
the barn. separated the cream of TWEEN
ty cows and churned and worked all
the butter on 5 gallons of gasoline at
Is cents a gallon. 1t saws the wood
and works the corn-shredder and
makes itself generally more useful in
it's way than the average hired man
and at small fraction of his cost.
Then, the barn is a great comfort.
There's cement basement under the
stable-the only one of it's kind in
this part Of the State. The manure
falls through traps in the stable floor
and is preserved intact and put out
on the land at least four times year.
That's another thing that gives us no
end of advantage over our neighbors
They pile their fertilizer in their
barnyard and let the best part of it
bleach and drain and wash away with
out returning it to the soil which alb
sOlutely demands it.
We have $50 acres of level, black
soil that plows like soft putty. Be-
sides corn, oats and wheat, we raise
hay, fax and enough vegetables for
our own use But we have found that
we can, make far more money from
our pure bred cows than directly from
the soil.-Success.

Keepfng Cream Sweet.

The first step in keeping cream
sweet is to keep it 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, stirrers 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 con-
venient utensil for cooling. A 8 or s.
gallon shotgun can is most convent
emit. Cool the cream in well water
by stirring. In a few minutes 1t can
be reduced to the temperature of the
water. After the cream is cooled 1t
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
az near the temperature of freshly
pumped water as possible. The aver
age temperature of well water in
Kansas is about sc degrees With 1t
cream can easily be held at So or 60
degrees, and at this temperature will
remain sweet for delivery in good
shape at the station.-Kansas Farmer.

Homemade Ditch Digger.

DkkCEA DA66CNs
A complete homemade ditch digger
may be made by following the de-
scription here given.
The bed piece, five and half inches
long, is cut out of hard plank two
and half inches thick, bolted at each
end and IN the middle to prevent split
ting. The rear half is nine inches
wide and the front half six inches
wide.
The diggers are made Of steel bars
two and half inches wide, three
quarters of an inch thick and twenty
four inches long. They are fastened
to the plank by right angle turn and
bolted. The two rear diggers are held
firmly by rod with nuts inside and
out, the points being spread out so
that the bed piece can easily drop into
the space when the ditch Is two feet
or more in depth. The front digger
is the same size, but set in the middle.
All are held firmly by brace rods and
shaTpened like the fiat end of pickax.
A wheel is set under the front end to
steady the movement and is braeed

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 of
milk than is alfalfa as grown nova
days. Certain it is that we are not
now getting the quality of milk that
was produced quarter of century
ago, when nearly everybody had a
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 bien-
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 when
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 dairymen
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 it's
culture quite eXtensively.-Den

The latest fake practiced on farm
ers is done by man who visits the
Mace and claims that he has been
sent out by the State to examine fruit
tree diseases, says an exchange. The
fellow will go over the orchard and
mark ali trees which he claims are af-
fected. Shortly after his visit 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 off the place with shotgun. The
only men empowered to inspect orch
ards are the county inspectors, who
are known to most fruit growers.

Weed Seeds in Manure.

II 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..
Oswald. of the Maryland experiment
station, undertook to obtain more def
mite information on this point, espe-
cially as regards dissemination
through manure, by studying the eff
feet of the fermentation of manure
handled in different ways and of pass
ing through the digestive systems of
animals on the vitality of various
seeds, including seeds of about fifty
of the worst weeds found in Maryland.
In experiments in which the manure
remained for six months In barn
yard heap and for short while in
piles, as when shipped in carload lots
from cities, it was found that in the
first case there was no danger, and
in the second case little danger of dis
tributing live weed seeds.

backward. An adjustable draw iron
is placed above, through which the
rod may pass at any height suited to
the depth of the ditch.
The handles are also adjustable,
raising them as the digger drops low

In hard subsoils one will save the
cost of this simple device in digging
seventy-five rods of ditch. In our
hardpan sections of the east, which al
ways need drainage, one does not feel
encouraged to dig bitches with pick
and shovel when more than half the
energy is required to loosen the dirt.
With this machine the toughest sub
soil when dry handles as rapidly as
loose sand.
