I 0V Protected Milk Pail. That many of the odors and much of the dirt which gots into milk Is during tlio process of mllklnj!, most of us know, henco every precaution to overcome this should Iki taken. One of tlio best methods of protecting tlio milk In the pall Is to nrrariKo a cover of tin and elieeuo cloth. Have a tin cover made to go over tho pall loosely so us to allow for the space tuken by tho cloth strainer. The tin cover should bo higher In the center than at the sides (see small cut to right) and a hole about four Inches In diameter made In tho front center through which the milk Is directed. Then have plenty of cheese cloth cov ers large enough to reach five or six THE PttOTECTKD MILK PAIL.' inches over tho sldo of tho pall, where It may bo secured by a tape or by slip ping a hoop of sheet Iron of proper size over It, and pushing It down hard. Tut on one of these covers, then the tin cover, and you are ready for .milking. The cheese cloth will prevent any filth getting to the milk, and these covers are washed In boiling water and sun dried they may be used a number of times. The Illustration shows the idea plainly, the cut to the lower left show ing the pall complete with the strainer and tho larger cut showing how the cloth is slashed at Intervals so It will fit around tho pall without trouble.

Thirsty Land. a According to an expert in the em ploy of the Inferior Department, the enormous basin drained by the Mis souri River absorbs no less than 88 per cent of all the rain that falls upon it, whereas the basin of the Ohio River absorbs only 70 per cent. The amount of rainfall In the course of a year is proportionately greater . in the Ohio than in the Missouri basin, and so the former river, although much the short er of the two, contributes more water to the Mississippi than does its gigan tic rival from the west Dnstlese Road Teat. At Sharon Hill, Pa., automobillsts and horsemen are deeply Interested in a mile of dutrtless and waterproof road way that is being constructed by the Darby & Chester Turnpike Company aa an experiment The cost of the mile Is to be $1,200. The new substance, which la known as Westernlte, Is a German Invention, It is said, and has been Imported only eight weeks. It la mixed and spread like cement A Ger man expert has charge of the work. The experimental mile Is being laid at Ridley Park. " j Weeda In Corn. The corn plant is a gross feeder and accepts any kind of manure that may be applied, but It will not thrive in partnership with any other plants, for which reason It must be kept free from grass and weeds, In order to have It mature before frost comes In the fall, which necessitates the frequent use of the cultivator. The clean preparation of the land before planting and the stirring of the surface soil after every rain destroys weeds and grass, which permits the farmer to accomplish such task at the least cost, as he benefits tho corn crop while preparing the land for another the following season. For this reason, where largo fields are cul tivated, there can be no substitute for corn, and whether prices rlso or fall the corn crop Is a necessary adjunct to farming In this country. On tho farm Its value Is not confined to its grain alone, but the entire plant can be util ized for some purpose. It Is, therefore, the most Inexpensive preparatory crop known. Every farmer alms to secure a crop of corn, and late planting Is re sorted to rather than Incur total fail ure. Success with a late-planted crop depends upon the condition of the soil, the variety and the mode of cultiva tion, but the main drawback Is the ap pearance of frost early In the season, which, however, does not frequently occur. Peaehea Peeled with I.ye. The method of the California Fruit Canners' Association at San Joso of using lye for eating off peach skins as a substitute for paring was Investigated by a member of tho California State Board of Health. By this process the fruit Is Immersed in the hot lye and quickly passed Into pure cold water, which Is constantly changing and quickly washes away tho alkali. The process Is believed to be entirely clean ly and the fruit healthful, the peaches not being handled as they must be when peeled by hand. Two cans of peaches thus prepared were analyzed with reference to acid content. In both practically the normal amount of aeld was found. It Is stated that the same process Is used with prunes. Hay Stacker. The hay derrick shown here Is for stacking hay In the field. The skids are 10x12 Inches, 10 feet long. The two cross pieces are 8x10 Inches, 8 feet long, each set In 2 Inches. The upright post is 8x8, and 9 feet high. The three braces are 4x4, or round poles. The boom pole Is 82 feet long, 4 inches at top and 8 or 10 at butt The chain can be shortened to raise the boom or lengthened to lower. The boom is swung by a swing rope, as can be seen. "A" shows the fork on which boom pole is swung. The hole in the post Is lined with a piece of gas pipe with solid plug In bottom. A 6-tlne grapple font can be used. Handling Gnlnea Fovrls. Young guinea fowls are quite tender and need feeding frequently, say every two hours, for a week or two. They can be raised successfully If fed simi lar to turkeys or young chicks with a variety of feed, including small seeds, etc. They must have pure water and shade and some animal feed, such as worms, grubs, or green bone. Mrs. Tate wrote to Farm and Home that her chicks are fed equal parts of bran, corn meal, crushed rice, and a little bone meal, and some ground raw potatoes each day after the first week. Chicks are fed all dry food in hoppers, so none Is wasted or soiled. They are fed all they can eat of the dry corn, meal, bran and crushed rice. Gravel and fresh water are kept before them all times. Water must be in tin and galvanized drinking fountains so chicks can just get their heads In, but not their feet New Syatem of Cheeae Making;. A large cheese factory is projected in the province of Ontario, Canada, by New York produce merchants, reports Consul Van Sant from Kingston. The factory Is to be operated on an entirely new system of cheese-making. White cheese Is now In great demand at Liv erpool, being 48 cents higher than col ored. Calf reading;.

Unseed cake, and lentils 8:5:8:4, cooked over night with a small quantity of salt and molasses, and fed warm in the proportion of three pounds of meal U five auarts of water. FOB STACKING HAY. THE KIM OF BLOOD PURIFIERS No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood dis eases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as "The King of Blood Purifiers," and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because "IT OURES DISEASE." It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get im such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains, uncontaminated we are fortified against dis ease, and health is assured : but an V imDUritv. t Gentlemen: S. S. S. is used as a family medicine in our u' i. ' i J .i home.

Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a. waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the title of "KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS." It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors, waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health- PURELY VEGETABLE Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured perma nently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the dis ease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are ia need of a blood purifier get "THE KING" of them all, S. S. S and good results are assured. Book oa the blood and any medical advice desired furnished without charge to all who write.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot Teach the seat of tbe disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and In order to cure it you niUHt take Internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Ball's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physiolsns In this country for years, and is a regular pre scription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood puri fiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combine ion of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing Catarrh. Bend for testimonials free, f. J CHENEY CO Props., Toledo, 0. Sold by druggists, price 7&c.
