BORAX IS NATURE'S
MINE Of PURITY FOR
DAIRY UTENSILS
Borax is f rHt, a cleanser that removes
dirt and grease with surprising ease;
second, it is a sweetener that makes fra
grant any surface that has grown musty
or btale from neglect ; third, it is an an
tiseptic or destroyer ol germs. It prevents
the development of bacteria or mouldy
growths. With all this it is perfectly free
from harm in its resulting effects.
The farm churn is kept free from that
stale odor if it is washed with borax in
the following proportions one table
spoonful of borax to a quart f water.
The dairy room lias nothing about it
but the pleasant aro:na f fr Hit milk and
cream and sweet butter if it ia kept clean

The cream crocks take on an extra
freshness when washed with borax and

Little Animal Will Rat Twenty-Six
Pound of Vegetation In a Year.
The meadow mouse makes a nest of
grass blades In the ground In shallow
burrows, and If the ground Is wet or
sloughy puts It la a bunch of grass five
or six Inches above the surface, says
the Montreal Family Herald. The
meadow mouse Is prolific. If the farm
er had brood sows or cows or ewes that
bred like meadow mice he would soon
be overstocked. Most of the species
produce from four to six Utters a year,
the American species usually producing
six at a time and four litters In a sea
son. If there was nothing to stop the
Increase the progeny of a single pair
would In five seasons amount to over
2,000,000, and would about clear out
the farmers' crops.
What does this little fellow eat?
Pretty hard to tell, because he grinds
up his feed so fine that It takes nn ex
pert to tell what It Is; but in summer
It Is some kind of grass or vegetation,
unripe seeds or grain and In winter
whatever he can get. If he can find
nothing better he takes the bark of a
cherry or apple tree, and the fanner
blames It on rabbits. It Is calculated
that each grown meadow mouse re
quires from twenty-four to twenty-six J
pounds of green vegetation a year. lie
Is particularly fond of strawberry beds, !
likes to nibble around at the plants in
the garden and the- potatoes In the
ground, or other winter stores, and Is
rather fond of alfalfa and clover. In
fact, there Is no green vegetation that
's not acceptable to the meadow mouse.
Why is It, therefore, that they do not
multiply? Because about everything
Jiat Is canilverous has a tooth for
meadow mice. The wolf, the fox, the
coon, the oiossum, the mink, the skunk
and the weasel all get a large amount
of their living from meadow mice. So
do hawks, owls, crows and the butcher
bird. All these have a particular fond
ness for meadow mice. I

The way to avoid a calamity of this
kind Is to let the natural enemies of

drnln out swamps; adopt a rotation of
crops that will require the plowing up
of grass lands every three or four
years; to destroy all weeds, trash and

thus prevent meadow mice from baring

Physicians Recommend Castoria
fOASTOEIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma-
ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of three facts: The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets tho nerves, but assimi
lates the food : nrdlt is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system not by stupefying it and our readers are entitled to
the information. Hall 's Journal of Health.
Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your
Castoria often fer InfantB during my practice, and find It very satisfactory."
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria Btanda
first in Its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have
found anything that so filled the place."
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I hare used yoar Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent."
Dr. It. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's
troubles. I am aware that there are Imitations in tho field, but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher's."
Dr. "Wm. J. McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home."
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The tame that your Cas
toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and
believe it an excellent remedy."
Dr. R. M. "Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria."

notes for a magazine article ou prison

the horrors he had seen, and his de

the mind of his little daughter Mary.
The wTiter and his offspring-, a week

stopped at a station near a gloomy
building. A man asked :
"What place Is that?"
"The county Jail," another answered
promptly.
Whereupon Mary embarrassed her
father and aroused the suspicion of the
other occupants of the carriage by ask-

the acid in the blood dries ttt the natural oils of the skin, which are intended
to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a
