Clean Dairies.
There is hardly a .single reform no
needed in farming greater than that. < ‘
securing extreme cleanliness about ' or
milking. It is a great pity that \i.
have lost the English and Dutch custOi
of having the cows handled entireiy'l
the women, and so the dairy produc
be'in their hands from the beginnin;
The original meaning of the wor
daughter was milker. Having occasic'
lately to buy a few quarts of milk pe-
day for a few weeks, I found most of :1
tainted from the barnyard. In on
case it was so foul that it could not i;

one herd in a barnyard Where the urin
was a foot deep, and the cows were :
horrible sight. In another yard th.

told, “Oh, lots of ’em do that." Ti.
sum of my investigation was a resol

But in our own yards it needs the mo-
constant watching and determined s:
pervision to prevent the average hire .
man from habits which foul the milk.

There is no reason why a horse shouh
be groomed and curried that does no.
equally apply to a cow. It conduces t.
her health and to the flow of milk. ]

health. The milk from the large (lair:

worked up into butter. That this i
wholesome for consumers no one nee
assert. It is a steady source of diseas:
It is an outrage on the community.

The average American barnyard i
far from what it should be. It has no
improved largely on what it was when
our people camped in the woods as pic
users—J. Morgan.

. Care of the Team in Summer.

Sore shoulders. necks and backs are
largely the result of carelessness and
ignorance. When the harness or saddle
presses heavily upon muscles not accus
tomed to such pressure, the walls of the
blood vessels are compressed until the
normal flow of blood is stopped, and
the delicate vessel walls are bruised
along with the muscular fibres. W’hen
the pressure is removed, the blood
rushes into those weakened vessels with
such pressure that the blood serum is
forced through them and we have the
soft fluctuating swellings under the
skin. If these accumulations are not
removed, either by resorption or artifi
cially, there results a callous enlarge
ment that is ever afterward a point for
inquiry. Such may be avoided. When-
ever a team at heavy work, or a young
horse not accustomed to work is stepped
to rest, and that should be frequently
instead of long, raise the harness and
collar and manipulate the flesh a little
with toe hand to restore the blood cir-
culation. On removing the harness
bathe the parts under pressure wits
cool water. '

To Feed the Thanksgiving Bird.

After young turkeys are twenty- four
hours out of the shell, they will be
ready for a breakfast. Good success
has usually followed making the first
few meals consist of curds and stale
bread soaked in milk or water, and like
the curds, squeezed as dry as possible,
and given in a. crumbly state. If they
are not at hand it will not be necessary
to give any hard'boiled eggs, although
they are a good thing to start the
poults’ bill of fare. Even when the
hard-boiled eggs are used they should
not displace the bread, but go with it.
If bread is to become one of the princi-
pal articles of food it should be secured
in quantities sufiicient to allow it _to
harden before being used. When near
a bakery or dealer in bread or near a
hotel, stale bread can easily be obtained
at small cost. This, with milk, will
make good diet for the poults, and at
the same time not be very expensive.
An onion or two, chopped fine and
mixed with the food, will add to its
healthfulness.

A Second Fodder Crop.

Barley and peas is another fodder-
crop that has been tried on a small scale
for the past two years. The area or
which oats and peas has been fed of
during July was plowed early in A
gust and seeded to barley and peas
the rate of 1 1-2 to 2 bushels of each p
acre. This crop furnishes good fea-
during October. Peas and barley are
not injured by frost, and if the fall
months are cool and moist, a large
amount of valuable forage may be pro
duced. The peas should be covered
three to five inches deep, while the bar-
ley should be harrowed in. The mix.
ture gives a more highly nitrogenous
fodder than barley alone. When deeply
covered, the peas seem to grow nearly as
well in the spring. As there are few
forage plants that are not injured by
frosts, this mixture seems worthy of the
faithful consideration of dairymei:
The lighter seeding, if made early i1.
July, will make a growth sufficient to:
it to be cut for hay before cold weather

Station.

EVERYTHING TENDS TO COMFORT

From Tea. Gown to Bathing Sol: Good
Judgment is Shown.

Published by special arrangement with the
New York Sun. .

The tea gown of rich. elegant mater-
ials may flourish more appropriately in
winter, but the summer edition of that
aesthetic garment is a dream of dainti-
uses which "the heavier gown can never
attain. White batiste, linen lawn. and
china silks in pretty, bright tints an
made up into this negligee gown, and
rows and rows of insertion and yards of
fine lace are used for the finish. The
pretty eflect of the tea gown depends so
much on the woman who wears it tha'
she must be thoroughly conscious of al
her imperfections to make any kind of
a success of her gown, and if she is not
blessed with a goodly share of physical
perfections and abundant grace of man-
ner she had better eschew this variety
of dress altogether. A “neglige soul”
—in the aesthetic sense—is not the gift
of every woman, and the .tea gown
which may enhance the charms of one
woman will bring out every defect in
another.

Summer millinery displays more va-
riations perhaps than any other branch
of fashion, and certainly it has been a
source of continual surprise ever since
the first spring hat made its appearance.
Whatever other virtue it may possess it
certainly has not failed to make an im-
pression as the most conspicuous article
of summer dress. But, fortunately, it
has settled down to a condition of har-
mony in color which seemed to be ig-
nored at the beginning of the season,
and while hats are still large and over-
trimmed, they are not quite so bizarre
in effect.

The one point in a woman’s toilet
which adds much or detracts immeas-
urably, as the case may be. from her ap-
pearance is the way her hair is dressed
and arranged. It must have a tidy,
well kept look, even though it is all fluf-
fy and waved, to stand ' out from the
head, and a verry little carelessness in
this direction assumes a large import-

 

 

ance in the general eEect of her costume.
No matter how elegant the gown may
be, its beauty is entirely lost if the hair
shows any neglect.

Hair dressing in its perfection is a
rather high art, which few women un-
derstand; but tidiness is an accomplish-
ment which every one can possess if she
will. The woman whose hair waves
naturally has something which she rare—
ly appreciates at its full value, but she
saves a vast amount of bother with
crimps. The woman with straight, un-
ruly locks must redouble her efforts in
the fashionable cause of keeping [her
hair well Washed to make it dry and
fluffy and wave it well out from her
head all around.

There is no universal style of hair
dressing for all women alike except
perhaps in this one mode of dressing the
hair loosely, and the latest fad in this is
to give the loose effect all around the
head, especially at the nape of the neck,
and bring the ends up in a soft knot
around a bunch of small curls just be-
low the crown of the head. Bunches
of curls falling low on the neck and
ringlets on the temples are an old style
of hair dressing revived by some
women.

 

 

.ClERISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
An Army of 3,000,000 Which Started from
a Single Church Parlor-Meeting.

The best criterion of the strength of
any organization is its numerical great-
ness on an occasion of its annual 'meet-
ing. No convention the world over has
ever attracted the numbers which those
of recent years of the Young People’s
Society of Christian Endeavor have
succeeded in doing. Sixty thousand
visitors swamped Boston last year when
the hosts of the Endeavor met in that
city, and as each year has marked a
tremendous increase in the attendance,
80,000 is considered a conservative es-
timate of the number, at Washington
this year. *

The President of the society, Francis
E. Clark, who as minister of the Wil-
litston Church at Portland, Ille., found-
ed the first Christian Endeavor Society
among the young people of his congre-
gation, on Feb. 1, 1881. That was only
a trifle more than 15 years ago, yet, to-
day the society is known in every land
on the globe and has a total member-
ship of 3,000,000, made up of 40,000 so-
cieties.

FR ‘ ;-'CXS Ar CLARK,

At the first meeting in the modest
parlor in the Portland minister’s home
the young folks who agreed tolform tb-
Christian Endeavor Society, took this
pledge:

"Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ
for strength, I promise Him that I will
strive to do whatever He would like to
have me do; that I will make it the rule
of my life to pray and read the Bible
every day, and to support my own
church in every way, especially by at-
tending all her regular Sunday and
mid-week services, unless prevented by
some reason which I can conscientious-
ly give to my Saviour, and that just so
far gas I know how throughout my
life I will endeavor to lead a Christian
life. As an active member I promise to
be true to all my duties, to be present
at and take some part, aside from sing-
ing, in every Christian Endeavor pray-
er meeting, unless hindered by some
reason which I can conscientiously give
to my Lord and Master. If obliged to
be absent from the monthly consecra-
tion meeting of the society, I will, if
possible, send at least a verse ol‘ Scrip
ture to be read in response to my can»
at roll call.”

A I PATRIOTIC KITE.

‘ finance for Young America to Have Lots

of Fun.

The kite, or kites, should be of good
size, say four feet high, and may be of
almost any shape, though the old-fash-
ioned one made with two cross sticks,
as in Fig. 1, is one of the most reliable.
If red, white and blue paper can be se-
cured, so much the better. Theefiect
is pretty if the colors are alternated at
the tail. With a four-feet kite a flag
over six feet in length can be sent up,
and as it floats hundreds of feet in the
air, one feels repaid for the trouble.
Long streamers of the national colors.
or strings of tiny flags, can be attached
at intervals along the kite string; in
fact there are endless ways in which an
ingenious boy can keep “old glory” fly—
ing over the town. Bunches of paper

spirals, made by cutting stiff paper as
in Fig. 2, and attaching a tiny torpedo
to the end in the center, maybe set
free by means of a slow fuse, and in
the same manner paper parachutes may ,
be sent eastward.

 

 

In the evening achinese lantern in

place of the flag is very pretty, bobbing
through the dark, and colored lights
may be set off. As the kite is invisible,
it is rather a puzzle to onlookers how
fireworks are produced so high in the
am

To get the colored lights cut open a
number of Roman candles and take out
the color balls. Then take a piece of
fairly stifi wire and bend it, as in e d,
leaving a long end, 0, free. With an
occasional twist carry the fuse up d,
down b, up a, down e, and fasten.
Then take each candle ball and . a little
loose powder, and with a piece of paper
or light cloth wrap about the wire and
fuse. as in Fig. 4, fastening the ends
with a bit ,of thread. Put four on each
wire, with two on the middle cross wire,
taking care that they are not so close
together that the burning of one will
fire the others. Light the free end of
the fuse when the kite is started, and
you will have the highest fireworks in
town.

Mildew may be removed from cloth
by rubbing the place discolored with
soft soap and then covering it' with
chalk and putting it in strong sunlight.

Worn out, nervous women, receive
criticism where they should have
sympathy. They cannot help being
nervous, if their blood is impure.
\Vhen the blood fails to feed the
nerves upon proper nourishment what
can you expect but nervous prostra-
tion, debility and nervous headaches?
If the cause is found in impure blood,
the cure must be in making the blood
pure. This is just what Hood’s Sarsa«
parilla does, and it has proved the true
nerve tonic because it is the true blood
purifier, and the solace, comfort and

“I think it is my duty to tell What
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for me and
my family. Two years ago I was in a weak,
nervous condition and had dreadful pal-

pitations or jumping of my heart, fol« ‘

lowed by sinking spells, which would last
for several minutes. Sometimes it would
seem as though I would never come out

cisns, but only for a little time did they
help me. I seemed to be growing worse
instead of better. I would often seem,
hungry, but when I ate, no matter how
little, it would cause me such misery that
I was often wicked enough to wish my-

ired

languid, all-gone feeling and suffered aw-
ful distress in my stomach. I had given
up all hopes of ever being e11, when
my mother wished me to try Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. I consented, to please her,
and before I had taken the whole of one
bottle I could see I was improving, and

soon was indeed very much better. Its
