w r i . THE EVENING GAZETTE ~,, 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; used. Even the cats refused to drip. it. I was led to investigate. and found one herd in a barnyard Where the urin was a foot deep, and the cows were : horrible sight. In another yard th. hired man spit on his hands frequentl' While milking. Remonstrating, I We told, “Oh, lots of ’em do that." Ti. sum of my investigation was a resol tion to buy as little milk a; possill 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. ] is vastly more important for our on health. The milk from the large (lair: that I found too bad for men 'or cat goes into a creamery every day to I. 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 -—Prof. C. S. Phelps, Connecticut Expt Station. Corrected. Papa (just arriving from downtown) ——Well, where’s Bessie?

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. I \ \ b , \ ‘ ‘3‘ 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. .3! . r. - ~a-fl421 (II: ' ."

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. ‘; 75*? ~ “s\\. ‘\;~“\i\s§\\\\ -\>>“2' 13?

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.

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 defender of thousands of housewives, Nervous teachers, clerks and other sufferers of of both sexes. Just read this letter: “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 effects have been truly wonderful and I hOpe this letter may be the means of help- ing other suffering men and Women to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla and be benefited . by it.
