A Simple Way to Make Cheeae.
Tho makliiK of cheHe In a very
kirn pit procinH, nnd almost anyone
can tin u out n good article with a
little prat'tleo. will give a method
by which anyone can make cheene
MiieeoitNfiilly. Take evening's milk
and strain It Into Nome fl.-iui vessel
and let It tail ( In a cool place until
morning. Evening' milk should be
warmei) to about tui degrw before
adding morning milk. A good way
to warm It Ih to art a pall of boiling
water Into tho . milk. I'repuro the
rennet by soaking In one gallon of
warm water for 21 houra before using.

Will keep busy
Electric light is the magnet that draws trade.
The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business.
People can no more resist the attraction of a bril
liant, Electrically lighted store thin they can resist
the clarion call of a brass band.
Is your competitor with the Electrically illum
inated show windows, bright interior and sparkling
Electric Sign getting an advantage over you?
The moth never flutters around the unlighted
candle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop
window lighting a necessity, whether they remain
open after dark or not. Competition forces modern
methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with
Electric light will make many a sale "the night
before." Electric light compels attention, makes
easy the examination of your display, shows goods
in detail and fabrics in their true colors.
And donY neglect the Electric Sign. It is
soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is
lighted burning you name in the public mind. It
is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops
work costs little.

Sulphur to Preserve) Meat.
Writing to tho Iiidoii Morning
I'oat, a rorrenpondeut says: "I ob
serve reference to an invention by a
Frenchman aa to prtHervliig meat by
aulphur fumes. It may bo of Interest
to some, respecting this matter that I
have in my possession now a piece
of beef treated in that way by mo at
Halifax. N. H., In tho year 1879. It
has been freely exixmeil to tho air
since that time, and so far as I can
see has remained unchanged. As I
had on aovnral occnaloha felt the want
of something of tho aort on shooting
expedltlona, to provldo for tho poasl
blllty (not unuaual) of being too far
from camp after tracking wounded
game or other causes, I looked about
for a convenient form of a arnall
emergency ration of meat. I cut aome
atrlpa of beef about 0 Inchon by 2
Inchi'H by 2 Inchon, hung them In a
gliuot Jar, attached a arnall thimble
containing a llttlo aulphur by a wlro
to tho cord, lighted tho aulphur and
cloaed tho Jar with tho cork. Tho
aulphur burned until all tho oxygon In
tho Jar waa consumed and then went

Tho State of Maryland la doing good
work In spreading hygienic knowledge
by means of a "milk special" train,
This railroad train has one car, which
Is used as an adltorlum, In which
farmers In the vicinity whero the
train atop are Invited to attend a ,
thlrty nilnuto lecture, with demonstra
tions on the production of clean milk.
Two speakers occupy flfloon minutes
each at all stopping places,
The Feeding of Dogs.
"No dog kept lndisirs, and. Indeed,
very few outside, should bo fed on
meat; nor should ho be fed from the
table at meal times, as be will soon
become a nuisance, especially when
there are visitors. If he Is always
fed at tho conclusion of a certain
meal dinner, for Instance h will
wait patiently until tho prescribed
time. It Is a good plan to feed after
one's midday meal, giving plenty of
green vegetables, bread and potatoes,
w!'h a very few scraps of finely-cut
meat, the whole well mixed and some
gravy poured over It. If two meals
are given, one should be at breakfast
time and one In the evening. One
should consist of only a little oatmeal
and milk or a piece of dry dog biscuit.
"At no time should the dog have
more than he will cat, and If be leaves
anything on hla plate except the pat
tern, hla allowance should be reduced
or a meal omitted."
Flushing the Ewes.
Flush Jour ewes at breeding time.
Rape or cabbage are the feeds for
this purpose, but when these can not
bo had, use a light grain ration. Oats
Is one of the best feeds. Both ram
and ewe should bo la a thrifty, gain
ing condition at breeding time lh or
der to insure a high percentage of
lambs. See that the ewes are prop
erly tagged before turning the ram in
with them,
A Lesson in Reclaiming Waste Lands.
On King Island, formerly a barren
sand heap, rising above the sea be
tween Tasmania and Australia, acci
dent has given a suggestive lesson In
the use of certain grasses for reclaim
ing arid wastes. A few years ago a
shipwreck cast on shore some mat
t rosea stuffed with yellow flowered
clover. A few seeds took root, caus
ing a lnrge area to become covered
with rich verdure. The power of
clover and other leguminous plants
to fertilise poor soil through their nitrogen-absorbing
bacteria is well
known.
Reasons for Pruning.
The chief reason for pruning trees
are to modify the vigor of the tree;
to produce larger and better fruit; to
keep tho tree within managcaMt!
shapu and limits; to change the habit
of the tree from fruit to wood pro
ductions, or vice versa; to remove
surplus or Injured parts; to facilitate
harvesting and spraying; to facilitate
tillage, and to train to aome desired
form.
Domesticated Elephants.
Domestication of the elephant
seems to be making good progress in
the Congo. Of the 25 young elephants
at Apl, 19 are kept at work eight
months of the year and turned out In
the forest during the rainy season,
hut do not Join the wild elephants.
They return to work willingly.
Crop Rotation,
There are some crops that will not
follow each other, nor will they follow
certain other crops, while, on the oth
er hand, there are some that will
grow jvar after year on the same
land and also follow any other crop.
This must bo studied carefully while
making out the plans for the following
season. -
Currants for Horses.
It Is said that dried currants, given
to horses occasionally instead of oats
will Increase tho animals' power of
endurance.
Mule-Footed Hogs.
Mule-footed hogs are becoming the
rage In aome parts of Northern Ml8 -
soun. Farmers say these hogs are
better to eat and they bring 30 per
cents per hundred more on the mar
ket. Each foot Is one solid piece, as
the mule, hence the name.
Notes.
Have you a sot of tools, or are you
trying to make a home and bring up
the boys without any tools for them
to use? We havo known men who
could hardly drive a nail in any place
where they might want one; and when
it came to mending a broken tool on
the place the only wny It could be
done was to hire some Tine to do It.
At Pendleton, Oregon, arrangements
have been made to have monthly mar
ket days, for livestock and farm pro
duce. The business men of that city
havo aubacrlbed aufflclent funds to '
carry on tho Initial aalea day, but af-!
terwarda thoae occaHlona will be self-:
aupporting, I
Thoro 1m a heavy demand from all
parta of tho country for tlpa from lo-
ganberry planta, tho growers In the
weatcrn part of Oregon having rnoro j

Tho milk condonaer at Amity, Ore-1

This building will have about 8,000 '
square foot of floor surface and Is !
modern In every respect.
Keep the cream as near CO degrees i
as possible while waiting for the
churn. Hot cream makes soft, white i
butter. j
Hreedlng at too early an a-ge dwarfs
the sl.e and thus greatly Impairs tho
future usefulness of the cow.

cauHou a iohs oi miner rm in ine

pounds of butter per cow per year.
In New Jersey, where the poultry
men have plenty of sand, earth floors
are used in brooding hoTjsea. They
clean twice a year, carrying out all
the old sand, and bring Jn fresh, using
It five or six Inches deep. They rake
It over from time to time with a flne
tootu rake, and have good results.
In producing milk we get no returns
from the food consumed
until the
question of support Is first satisfied.
Therefore keep the cows whloti do not
use the fxid nutriment for making
beef, and then feed them all they will
eat,
If you are raising draught horses,
lay the foundation for big, aound
horses with full muscular develop
ment, To go two or three miles at too rap
Id a gait Is much harder upon a horse
than to go twice the distance if prop
erly driven. To get the full capacity
out of a horse, without injuring, use
moderation in the beginning of every
tank Imposed upon them.
A cement milk tank Is the latest
use to which cement has been put.
It can be built In one corner of the
cellar or milk house. The water will
remain cool much longer In It than
In the old-fashioned wood tank and
It w ill be impossible for germs to hide
In the pores.
More birds die from overfeeding
and eating sour feeds than from any
other causes combined. Make them
work for what they get, just as you
have to do. On the other hand, do not
be so 'careless that you will permit
them to eat sour feed. If the wet
mashes cannot be kept sweet, feed the
material dry.
Manure Is most valuable when the
liquids and solids have been saved
together. Neither Is a complete fer
tilizer alone, but together they supply
all the demands of the crops.
Keep the pullets thrifty and grow
ing from the very beginning. They
will begin laying sooner than if they
have to shift for themselves.
Iiirda that are raised in large num
ber should have meat or ground
bone, as it la possible that even free
range will not supply enough animal
food.
Dees never attack when their stom
achs arfe filled with honey or other
liquid aweets. This is their normal
condition when swarming and there
fore they are then harmless, and also
when returning laden U their hives.
A cheap remedy for mites, and one
moMt farmers have right at hand, is
vinegar. Put It on with a sprayer.
Two quarts in a ten-quart pailful of
water will help a lot In ridding the
premises of these peists.
Judging by all signs. It's going to
pay mighty well to pull teats this
winter. Butter Is already gaining in
price and a top-notch record will, no
doubt, be established before next
spring.
A feeding experiment at the New
Jersey experiment station showed that
the protein In alfalfa, hay could be
successfully and profitably substituted
In a ration for dairy cows for that
contained in wheat bran and dried
brewers' grains and for this purpose
is worth $11.16 per ton, when com
pared with the wheat bran and dried
brewers' grains at $17 per ton.
SHALL WOMAN WOO THE MAN?
By Mrs. John A. Logan.
Doubtless a woman has the right to
try to win the man upon whom her
affections are centered, and beyond
question the right has been exercised
many times.
The only question Is as to the means
employed. If she steps outside the
bounds of propriety and womanly mod
esty, she Is exceeding her right, and
will probably fail in her designs by
provoking disgust and aversion in the
mind of the man she attempts to win.
Too many women lose sight of the
potency , of modesty to attract the ad
miration of men. To marry a man
without first winning his affections is
a fatal mistake, and almost invariably
results disastrously, because, if upon
the intimate acquaintance which fol
lows marriage, either discovers that
the other has been practicing decep
tion and is really lacking In the quali
ties of head and heart that caused him
or he.r to surrender, disgust Is inev
itable. In trying to win the person whom
you propose to take for bettor or for
worse the first and moat Important
;step l8 to be absolutely frank and sin
cere, and thereby command respect
and confidence, after which the ave
nues to the affections will be opened
as the acquaintanceship becomes more
intimate. I
The question of rights should not
enter into ihe relations of men and i
women ; both should observe the rec
ognized lnws governing their inter
course and avoid at all times famil
iarity an unfailing source of con
tempt, j
There Is no doubting the fact that
much unhapplness between married '
people has had its beginnings in famll-1
larlty between them. Often, without
the parties realizing the fact, they In
spire disgust by lack of modesty and
of dignity.
j One can be affectionate and even
Ben Franklin
who used to run a newspaper down East years ago, also edited
an almanac which contained aome wlae sayings. Here Is one
of them: ,
"The way to wealth, If you desire It, Is aa plain as the way
to market. It depends chiefly on two words Industry and ;
frugality. He that gets all be can honestly and saves all ha
gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly become
rich." ,
What Ben said was not only true at that time, but it atlll
holds good at the present day.
There is no better way to save than to have a bank account
We will bo glad to have you start an account at this bana.
you are not tempted (to spend It.
The Bank of
demonstrative without being familiar
and careless. The moment a man
loses respect for a woman, or a wom
an for a man, it Is Impossible for them
to live together harmoniously. All
true affection Is founded on respect
and confidence.
The matrimonial tragedies that have
occurred In the world bad their origin
In the loss of respect for each other
of tho parties to thet ragedy. Once
respect and confidence are gone fatal
culmination or their union is soon
reached.
It Is manifestly Improper for.a wom
an to make a bold advance to win a
man, and in most cases he hazards
her chances of success, as it is natural
for a man to resent what he considers
unwarranted eagerness to attract hla
attentkm. ,
It Is claimed that we are happier in j
the pursuit than In the possession of
the object of our affections. If thla
be no, one must pay more attention to
the innumerable little things which
contribute much toward our happi
ness. The thoughtful suitor or hus
band does not wait to be reminded of
little courtesies and kindnesses that
express so much to the recipient.
The game may be aaaid of women.
Those who are unselfish and thought
ful of those whose love they wish to
win and keep can succeeed without
arousing any suspicion that they have
deaigns, if they are. careful never to
neglect the performance of the offices
prompted by loving kindness.
No words need bej spoken, but let
actions prove that the fulness of the
heart prompts the attentions be
stowed. Sometimes women forget
themselves' and publicly express so
much, if their feelings are enlisted,
that they cause embarrassment. Thla
sort of thing comes under the head cf
immodesty, and should be carefully
avoided by women.
One likes to feel that the old-time
custom of men making all the ad
vances toward women of their choice
was and Is the proper way of wooing.
It seems morel n keeping with the
modesty so attractive in women, and,
beyond question, such marriages air
happier.

MIXTURE CURES
RHEUMATISM
8AYS MANY PERSONS HERE CAN
BE MADE HAPPY AGAIN.
PRESCRIPTION GIVEN
Tells How Any One Can Prepare Sim
ple Home-Made Mixture, Said To
Overcome Rheumatism.
There Is so much Rheumatism here
la our neighborhood now that the fol
lowing advice, by an eminent au
thority, who writes for readers of a
large Eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who suf
fer: Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsapa
rilla. Shake these well in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meat and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
It la claimed that there are few vic
tims of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple home-made mixture,
and In most cases a permanent cure
Is the result.
This simple recipe Is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimlna
tive tissues of the Kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism, but numerous oth
er diseases. Every man or woman
here who feels that their kidneys are
not bealthy and active, or who suf
fer from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to Triak up
this mixture, as It is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after
while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the Ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.
