New processes of raising cream end of churning, butter are constantly be- ing brought to the notice of the read- ing public. Some of them poisEss es- sentially good points which are ate eonneeted with those that are objee- tenable that the -whole scheme has to be condemned. Quite recente an ac- count appeared. in the papers about a new patented scheme for cburieng butter by bubbling air through it. The patentee asserts that he can churn thirty per cent. more butter from cream or milk than the Babcccle test shows it to contain, that he can churn any kind of cream in thirty minutes, that the creani may be kept standing for from one to two weeks before churning and that it can be kept at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahr. Yet, under all these conditions, he can! make arst-class butter! We don't need to tell our readers to take all such yarns with eonsiderable allow- ance, and. especially so when they are told that the temperature of the air to be forced through the caeam is 70 de- grees. Tbis churn was heard of in Australia about eight years ago, in England and then again in Toronto. and ;low it is Ottawa. If any one triee to -sell you a machine that will churn. 30 per cent. more butter than the Babcock test shows ronr milk or cream to contain., have nothing to do wia- them. Sunshine In the Dairy. For the destruction of disease germs, microbes, the puelficat:on of aouses, stables and barns, the en - coo ag e plant gr vancement of nearly all forms of life, the sun, la its varying degrees of in- tensity of heat, stands above all the enventiens and devLces of man., It WI the sun, more than any other force. that influences the growth of plants, their aromatic oils, the color of their flowers and the quality and color oft their fruit. That it has equal farce in the spirits and health of man is Well known. It is the most potenti germicide. But few If any diseases can spread itt its presence. Beneficial to useful plants, it is destructive to :injurious ones, as molds, fungi and bacteria. The dairymen is one of the chief beneficiaries of sunshine, since it destroys the germ in the common lot and enables him to combat Infectious diseases.

Another farmer can leave his farm Implements where he last used them. to rust and decay, and next spring he can hitch to them and curse the mak- er and his Maker because they don't work well. That is very bad manage- ment. A man can so breed and handle his live stock as to produce only the best types of animals. That is good hus- bandry. A anan can so abuse and neglect the care of his farm stock that it will de- generate into the meanest types of animals. That is "bad luck." A farmer may have a Strong; fertile soil, and scratch it over from year to year, and let the rains continue to wash away the fertility and grow poorer crops, until the land has to change ownership because the former owner did not know enough to under_ drain and open up the hidden treas- ures that lie deep in the soil, waiting the kindly touch of an intelligent hand. Tlaat is pig-headedness. Inexpensive Turkey Remedy, I have •seen mention of turkeys be. hag lost on accoura of bowel trouble.

Get live cents' worth of vene- tian red such as painters use, andi mix it in the food and water for the turkeys, keeping all other water away and compelling them to drink the "medicine." This seems simple enough, but it does the business, and may save some of your readers a good nat.tny dollars.

SECOND HAND COFFINS rhey: itIgsy ;Be Bought or Iteuted ittNCW Void: City. One of the queerest places in.

Our sun is a third-rate sun, situatea in the milky way, one of myriads of stars, and the milky -way Is itself one of myriads of sectional star accumu- lations, for these seem to be countless, and to be spread over infinity. At some period of their existence each of these suns had planets circling around it, which, after untold ages, are fit for some sort of human beings to inhabit them for a comparatively brief period, after which they still continue for years to circle around without atmos- phere, vegetation or inhabitants, as the moon does around our planet. There Is nothing so calculated to take the con- ceit out of an individual who thinks himself an important unit in the uni- verse as astronomy. It teache.s that we are less, compared with the universe, than a colony of ants is to us and that the difference between men is less than that between one ant and another.— London Truth.

When Robert T. Stewart was govern- or of Missouri it was in the days when everybody drank whiskeyaand the gov- ernor was no exceptiott to the rule. Years ago, when the Prince of Wales was on a visit to this country, they gave a grind ball in his honor in St. Louis. Governor Stewart came down from Jefferson City to honor the event with his presence. In the course of the evening the enthusiastic governor drank rather too much. He became ex- ceedingly happy, as w -ell as proud and enthusiastic. He and the prince were seated on the platform, while the beauty and aristocracy of St. Louis swept past them in gorgeous review. Stewart's feelings and bosom swelled. Eventually, in a mighty 'impulse of glow and glory, he administered a tre- mendous slap upon the prince's back, exclaiming with intense animation: I "Say, prince, don't you wish you were ) governor of Missouri?" England's heir took it all in good I part, and laughed, and paid no further 1 attention to the governor's fasnthailty otherwise his dignity might have sus- tained a severe shock.—Harry Norman in the St. Louis Renublican.

The Queen's devotion saved the life of the King. according to the story which the more austere historians look upon as apocryphal. But here is a modern instance which proves that the story probably trite: In the recent fighting around Limit, in Nigeria, in West Africa, a detach- ment of British were ,ambushed by a force of natives, who poured in a showed of poisoned arrows upou them. Colonel Lowry -Cole and Cap- tains Abadie and Bryan; three oifi- oers out of the four commanding the detachment, were hit by arrows. The poison which the natives use for their arrows has been known to proVe fatal in a few minutes. Dr. Thompson, the surgeon of 'the expedition, as. soon as the officers were abit, sucked the blood from the woun6s and with it the poison. As open as he had attended to the offi- cers he looked after the men, and found that fifteen had keen hit. Ile gave the same treatment to them. All recovered. The doctor experiencol no 111 effects from his action. 4 t som'W e one. hen a pailient.c7'ss ac7eusb, lets - limo fOr him to begin treatin44 the hirineys., cd, 11-fr)NEY 110A 4) PILLS will fix them up—talre out the inflammatiori and congestion, givi ease to the aching t Mr. J.
