Joseph Sipes and w ife, of Lick
ing Creelf township, ' spent a few
hours in town yesterday, and
Mr. Sipes was a welcome caller
nt tho News office. Besides be
mi; an excellent carpenter, Mr.
Sipes is an intelligent farmer, and
1 kes to hnve a reason fordoing
things. His experiments with
the culture of buckwheat has
proven the relative value of the
different varieties. For instance,
on one occasion he sowed one
acre of tho old fash'oned buck
wheat, o'ie aero of Silver Hull,
Mid two acres of Japanese. The
(vil and other conditions were the
same, but the two acres of Japan
' iM yielded 44 bushels; the one
i. ci o of Silver Hull, 15 bushels,
unci tho one aero of the old fash
ion' d kind, butlO bushels. Grow-
in,; sido by side, the straw of the
Milver hull was about a foot taller
ihautho Japanese, but what it
makes up in straw it loses in
grain. "It is true, however,"
s;iid Mr. Sipes, "that bushel for
bushel, tne silver hull yields the
greater quantity ol Hour."

A Source ot Dktase It not Properly Cleansed
and Frequently Renewed.
1 hough apparently insignifi
cant, nothing is more important
in ttie home or conduces more to
the health and comfort of . the
family, than the careful washing
of the dishes and proper care ot
cloths and towels why, dealh, in
the form of typhoid germs, has
been known to lurk in an unclean
dishcloth ! Therefore, says Med
ical Talk for the Home, when ser
vants are employed Ihey should
be required to wash, scald and
hang them to dr7 out in the sun,
since in the summer time they
will quickly sour. "Any old
thing" is often selected for this
important purpose, even to old
socks, and by housewives who
deem themselves the "pink ot
neatness." The writer prefers
porous material, and nothing is
more so than mosquito netting.
Fold the siime four or more thick,
jesses and quilt with coarse
thread. Being such inexpensive
goods, a new dishcloth may often
be obtained.
Some housewives place dish
cloths and towels in the regular
weekly washing; but this seems
uncleanly to the writer. Would
we not deem it very unclean to
usehaud towels and underwear
after having been used a week
to wipe one's dishes ? Then why
is it cleanly to throw dish towels
in with such soiled hings, and
then wash them together ? A sep
arate washing for table linen and
dish towels is by far the better
way. Indeed, to lhe writer a
large basket of soiled clothes,
many ot which contain loul eman
ations (if not real disease) from
the body, is unpleasant, but doub
ly so if tablecloths, napkins aud
dishcloths are imbedded therein.
A twine dish mop does very
well for glass and chiniware, but
cannot answer for a quantity of
cooking utensils. Some prefer a
wiro dishcloth for kettles. T!;e
writer finds the average domes
tic averse to washing the outside
of skillets and kettles, hence,
they see no reason for using a
separate dishcloth. They also
strenuously object to rinsing said
utenils, notwithstanding that
they are usually washed after all
of the other dishes.
A Touching Story
is the saving from death of the
baby girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cum
berland, Md. He writes: "At the
age of 11 months, our little girl
was in declining health, with se
rious throat trouble.and two phy
sicians gave her up. We were al
most in despair, when we resolv
ed to try Dr. King's New Discov
ery for consumption, cough? and
colds. The first bottle gave re
lief; after taking four Dottles she
was cured, and is now in perfect
health." Never fails to relieve
and cure a cough or cold. At
