A half hour's douching with water at a
temperature of 120 degrees, and the fix

TEST FOB WHOLESOME MILK.
A good way to tell when to use new
milk from the cow is to bring a sample
to a boil and if it curdles then do not
tise it, but if it remains limpid it is all
right. This test should be used always
before sending milk to the factory,
though perhaps it is not so important
when the milk is peddled on a route,
though this colostrum tonds to save the
milk in warm weather.—American Dairy
man.
APPLE BUTTER FOB MARKET.
Why do not farmers who have large
amounts of apples that do not pay for
drawing long distances to market try the
plan of turning some of the surplus into
apple butter i It requires considerable
labor, as it is a branch of manufacture;
but the farmer who has invested labor
in this way is surer to get pay for it
than he is for most of his work on the
farm. As far as possible the farmer
should put the product of his farm in
the form where it will bring him most
money, and if he thereby turns his farm
at some seasons into a factory he may be
none the less prosperous.—New York
Herald.
AN ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.
A novelty in the hatching of eggs has
appeared in the shape of an electric in
cubator. The special feature of this
machine is that the heat of the egg
drawer is automatically regulated to the
fiftieth part of a degiee Fahrenheit. It
consists of a tank incubator, heated by
ladiation from the bottom of a water
tank, which is coustructed on the multi
tubular system. When the egg drawer
reaches the temperature of 104 degrees
Fahrenheit an electric thermostat con
nects a dry battery with an electro-inag
net which actuates a damper, allowing
the heat to escape through the open air
instead of passing through the flues of
the water tank. This entirely automat
ic device is said to effect a saving of
thirty per cent, in the fuel used for heat
ing.—Boston Transcript.
COWR IN WINTER.
Feed to a considerable extent deter
mines the quality aud quantity of the
milk and butter. It does not pay to
keep a cow on half ratioM and hardly
get a good milking at any time during
the winter. In most cases both tho milk
and butter are of more value during the
winter than at any other time, and
generally enough more to make it worth
while to give the cows good treatment
during the winter. They must be fed
enough to live, at least, aud they ought
to have enough to keep them thrifty, as
there is DO advantage in letting them
run down during the winter and then be
obliged to take the best part of the
spring to make up what has been lost.
A little additional feed will not only
keep them thrifty, but in many cases in
sure a good flow of milk, and this im
plies a profit rather than a loss, as is so
often the case when the cows are fed on
the plan of barely keeping them alive
through the winter.—St. Louis Repub
lic.
THE CISTERN RESOURCE.
'•How much will your cistern hold?"
I asked a friend, relates Hollistcr Sage.
"Oh, half a dozen hogshead} or more.
Tt cost mc $20." Twenty dollars for an
unfailing supply of water which is never
contaminated by soil-leachiiigs! Cheap
enough if the cistern be well made and
lasts for twenty years, a reasonable time
frequently exceeded. How many farms
are considered almost worthless bacause
poorly watered, and if one or more
cisterns were put in—the work can be
done by any farmer—drouths would be
tided over and no trouble made. I have
now in mind a place where the only
source of supply is a well which fails on
the first provocation. It is offered low.
Another place near it, and also poorly
watered, has a spacious cistern under a
barn, kept full by its roof, and although
the farmhouse has been burned, the
place is still held at over SIOO per acre.
A lane leads from tho pasture to the
farmyard, where a trough is kept full
constantly by use of a pump. The
thirsty herd comes up for food and |
shelter. In the West, even in many j
cities, cistern water gives the sole sup- i
ply. The cleauly house-owner pumps |
dry his supply reservoir and has it
cleaned thoroughly before the autumn or
April rains begin. As soon as this is
done the cistern is allowed to till, closed
tightly and kept so for the year. Fresh,
copious water of spring lasts until the
earth is sprinkled, the fall dust laid aud
all the leaves blown away, when, if the
supply be short, the great distillery of
the heavens is again allowed to pour in
a sufficiency.—New York Tribune.
PLANTS FOR WINTER.
The fall is the time for preparing
those plants that are chosen to brighten
home with leafage and bloom during
the winter. The first point to be con
sidered is the choice of the plants.
Young breathing plants are always to be
preferred rather than those that are ex
hausted with blossoming during the
summer. It seems almost heartless to
leave tall, thrifty plants to the mercy of
the frosts, but not only their prolonged
blossoming has weakened them, but
their rapid growth under summer suns
has rendered them less hardy. Feeble
plants should never be taken into the
window garden unless it be to save some
favorite species.
Examine the earth carefully and seo
that it is free from insects and grubs. It
is a good plan to put panfuls of loamy
garden earth and leaf mold mixed into
the oven, and bake it half an hour.
This will kill all insects, and when
the earth is cool is is ready to use. Cut
off all water-soaked roots, and then press
the earth firmly around the plants, using
always the common red earthen pots
with separate saucers for each pot.
Keep repotted plants in a shady place
for a week or so, until the roots are well
settled in their new homes. Do not let
these plants bloom for a month or two,
but pinch off all buds, that the strength
of the plant may be concentrated in the
root*, in order to produce a new, vigor
ous growth of branches.-
la choosing the windows lor plants
during the winter those with gay-colored
blossoms need all the sunlight they can
have, and for them a south window is
the beßt. A southeast window is the
next most desirable, then a western
window, while a north light is worst of
all.
There are a few plants, like pansies,
primulas and Cornelias, that like the shade
and thrive in northern light, and a north
ern window is useful to place blooming
plants in from time to time, thus pro
longing the short life of the sprays of
flowers.
The best success in indoor plant growth
comes from a uniform temperature of
fifty to sixty degrees at night and from
sixty to seventy-five degrees during the
day. A higher temperature is only needed
by semi-tropical flowers.
Plants not only need a cooler tempera
ture in the night, but also darkness, and
it is neglect of this fact that is one of
the causes of the lanky growth of house
plants. Shield plants with newspapers
in the evening if the gas in the room is
lighted. The paper will keep both heat
and light from the plants.
Another cause of spindling growth is
lack of air. Plants shut up in the house
get sensitive, and are liable to suffer if
there is a sudden fall in temperature,
but if they are given plenty of fresh air
daily, unless the day is very inclement,
the plants will thrive and be sturdy.
Do not open a window directly on
plants in winter weather, but rather let
the fresh 'air tiltsr in more gradually
through a distant door or window.
Plants in windows should be turned
once or twice a week. A fine form,
which is half the beauty of a plant, can
not be attained without this. Plants
should also be shielded from the dust
which arises in sweeping aud dusting
rooms.
A newspaper is suitable to prevent the
settling of dust over them, but this care
is not enough. Each plant must be
washed thoroughly and frequently to
keep its pores unclogged, for plants
breathe through them. They cannot
grow if their means of inhaling carbon
and exhaling oxygen is taken from them.
Showering plants over a tub or sink is a
good way to remove dust, but hold the
plant sidewise, so both sides of the
leaves will be reached by the water.
Large plants which cannot be easily
moved should have their leaves washed
gently with a sponge on both sides.—
Boston Globe.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Hens that are crowded will not lay.
liens will not lay when shivering with
cnld.
Do not change all the old hens for
young pullets.
Dispose of any old hens you do not
wish to winter.
The size of the sheep should be gaged
to suit the pastures.
Cornmeal and bran with milk i9 a
good feed for ducks.
The manure from the pig is valuable
in proportion to the food consumed.
Use nothing but pure bred males, no
matter how your flocks may be made up.
Fruits and flowers have been rightly
called "children of the light woven from
sunny air."
Bear iu mind that the sooner the hens
pass the moulting season the sooner they
begin laying.
Do not risk too many flocks together.
Small flocks carefully tended will give
the best results.
You cannot afford to buy all your
home supplies, no matter how big crop*
you grow to sell.
No one can afford to buy manure un
til he has first made use of every pound
produced at home.
A small herd of cattle well fed will
pay better th an a large one that just
"pulls through."
Young hens and the early pullets will
bring more money now than as "old
roosters'* nest spring.
During the winter it is quite an item
to arrange so that the fowls have as
much sunlight as possible.
What is a good sheep? It all depends
ou what the sheep is wanted for and the
man who takes care of it.
Stick to the breed that you have done
well with. Improve and build it up
rather than let it fall back.
When a sheepman finds occasion for
grumbling it would be well to quit the
business and try something else.
Give the young pigs plenty of succu
lent food. A slop made of bran and
potatoes makes an excellent food.
No mercy should be shown to the dog
that rushes out and barks at a passing
team. He should be shot at sight.
If you have no extra feed do not buy
a lot of stock this fall because it is
I cheap. It will be dear (to you) beforo
spring.
Do not wait till you are obliged to
give full winter feed before you begin
to add anything to that gotten from the
pasture.
If the fowls get too fat give them
some grain not rich in carbc-hydrates.
Oats as a single food will tend to
lessen the fat.
If you have late hatched turkeys it
will be well to see that they do not get
out into the grass until the dew is off,
even though the sun is bright.
Using ewes that have borne twin
lacnbs, raising young ewes from twins
and using rams that were twins, have
1 given good results in increasing the pro
ficiency of the flocks.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BABE BREAD DURING DAYLIGHT.
All kinds of raised bread or cake rise
much quicker in a kitchen in the day
time when the kitchen is warm, than at
night, when the fire is out. Therefore
five or six hours in the day are equal to
twelve hours at night. In cold weather
anything made with yeast should be
made early in the evening, that it may
get started to rise before the kitchen is
cold. Some housekeepers keep a piece
of an old ironing blanket, kept clean, to
fcld and lay over the cotton or linen
bread cloth, to keep the biead warm
while rising.—Boston Cultivator.
TO PREBERVE PEPPERS.
Take a mixture of red, green and yel
low peppers, cut off the tops and remove
the seeds, throw them into brine suffi
ciently strong enough to float an egg,
and stand aside for twenty-four hours;
then drain and wa9h them, put the pep
pers carefully into stone jars, sprinkle a
layer of salt over each layer of peppers.
When the jar is full put two or three
cabbage leaves over the top, then a
small saucer to keep them in the brine;
stand in the cellar until needed. The
day before you wish to use them take a
sufficient number from the brine and
soak them over night in cold water.
They may then be stuffed with a mixture
of meat and rice or rice and tomatoes. —

COMFORTS FOR SERVANTS.
Certainly the hardest working woman
in the house should have at night as
comfortable a bed as anyone, but very
often this is not the case even in lux
urious houses, a springless cot being
thought good enough for the girl's
room. Though in a city home, the
room of the maid-of-all-work is a small
hall bedroom on the top floor. This
may still be neat, even fine in its ap
pointments, with dainty spreads, con
venient toilet articles and a whole look
ing-glass. There should be a bureau of
some description, with a draw reserved
for her towels and bed linen, so that she
need not call on the mistress for these
things common enough in the rest of
the chambers, but luxuries here. A
very good way to appreciate a girl's
weariness by those who seem never to
dream that she can got tired, is to try
some day to take her place. After get
ting thoroughly tired out with half the
work undone, the mistress * begins to
understand what day after day of do
mestic toil means. When on Tuesday
au ambitious girl is hurrying to com
plete a large ironing in one day, it is
hardly fair to call on her repeatedly to
do something elso. as often happens
when there is only one servant. —Detroit

CHEMISTRY or THE BAKED POTATO.
Usually the first vegetable prescribed
by the physician for the sick person wno
is beginning to use solids is a baked
potato. A baked potato, however, may
be no better than u boiled unless it be
done in so high a temperature that the
starch is affected. Boiled potatoes
cannot be subjected to a higher temper
ature than 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baked potatoes may be done in sucb
a way that they are little better than
boiled—for instance, done in a slov
oven. On the other hand, if they are
put into a temperature of 380 or 400
degrees Fahrenheit, or what is calle I a
"hot oven'" they will be done in such a
manner that the conversion of starch
will in a degree take place aud the po
tato be couseqnently palatable aud easily
digested. Potatoes roasted in hot em
bers are delicious and for the same rea
son. The high degree of heat cooks
the starch properly, but it must not be
understood that by cooking potatoes in
a high temperature the starch which
they contain is all changed into dex
trine. This does not usually take place
except in slight degree; however, by
the high temperature it is better pre
pared for this change in the processes
of digestion. Probably what does take
place is a sort of hydration of the starch,
resulting in the complete swelling and
final bursting of the granules. Just at
the moment when this takes place the
potatoes are done and should be imme
diately taken from the fire and served at
once.—St. Louis Republic.

originally a barrel of the same capacity
as a liquor containing vessel made of the

may bave been "oxhide" from which the

"German
Syrup"
My acquaintance with Boschee's
German Syrup was made about four
teen years ago. I contracted a cold
which resulted in a hoarseness and
rough which disabled me from fill
ing my pulpit for a number of Sab-
Daths. After trying a physician,
without obtaining relief I saw the
advertisement of your remedy and
abtained a bottle. I received quick
and permanent help. I never hesi
tate to tell my experience. Rev. W.

Did you ever see a sickly
baby with dimples ? or a heal
thy one without them ?
A thin baby is always deli
cate. Nobody worries about
a plump one.
If you can get your baby
plump, he is almost sure to
be well. If you can get him
well, he is almost sure to be
plump.
The way to do both —there
is but one way—is by CARE
FUL LIVING. Sometimes this
depends on Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil. •
We will send you a book
on it; free.
