STREAKS IN BUTTER.
I'suallr Ie to an Imperfect Mlitnre
with the Halt.
If the vessel containing the cream is
exposed to the action of the atmosphere
a part of tbe moisture will evaporate,
nnd a scum or skin will be formed on
the top of the cream. This will be
broken up in the churning and there will
be portions of thickened dried cream in
the butter. Prevention is better than
any attempt nt cure. It the cream
vessel be covered and by frequent stir
ring prevent the skin of dried cream.
The straining of the cream into the
churn is also a good means of keeping
specks of thickened cream or curd from
finding their way Into the butter. Oc
casionally butter makers find the butter
full of streaks. That condition may be
due to the retention of portions of the
buttermilk in the mass of the butter.
The addition of a quart of water for
every two gallons of cream, after the
granules of butter begin to appear and
before the churning is completed w ill
help to bring about a speedy and full
separation of the buttermilk. When the
buttermilk has been removed the gran
ular butter should be washed with cold
water. In summer the temperature of
the water should be about 55 degrees,
and In w inter CO degrees. In the wash
ing the chum should be revolved n half
faster lhan for theehurning. A streaky
condition of the butter sometimes re
sults from an Imperfect mixture of the
salt w ith the butter. Reworking after
the salt is dissolved w ill correct that Rnd
care should be taken to use only fine
grained salt. The presence of the salt
should be perceptible to the taste, but
not to the sense of touch. Prairie

Permitting a cow to fail in her milk
for want of suitable food is bad manage
ment; even if she can be restored to her
full flow, which is doubtful, it takes
more feed to do it than would have been
required to keep her in good milking
trim from first to last, t ows to do their
best must be pushed with feed of the
proper kind, and the more the better.
Vou can't get milk without feed any
more than you can get meal without
corn. To get the best work from mill
It must be run to its full capacity no
ccrn in the hopper, no meal in the spout.
So it is with the cows, no feed, no milk;
liftle feed, little milk; plenty of good

he tinirervil article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa
ble, is bread or biscuit. Aud touiakethe
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, jeast cannot be used it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes of
the Royal Baking Towder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and ruise. the bread and biscuit satisfac
torily. These facts are very Important tor
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
be be persuaded by some outfitter to
take one of the cheap brands of baking
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then w hen he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and diflicult route, he w ill
find a solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such a mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
w hich to experiment in food, or try to
economize w ith vour stomach. For use
in such a climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food supplies
Bhall have perfect keeping qualities. It
is absurd to convey over such dilticult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate In transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost a great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow
In these mattersthantheadviceof those
who have gone through similar experi
ence. Mr. lcuesien, who iscalled"the
father of Alaska," after an experience
of years upon the trail, in the camp, and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
'We find in Alaska that the importance
of a proper kind of baking powder can
not be overestimated. A miner with a
can of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried nil
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal. It
stronger, nnd carries further, but
above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region.
It is for the same reasons that the U.
S. (iovernment in its relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveler,
have carried the Royal Puking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
rake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most nightly concentrated and ef
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it Is
Indispensable to every Alaskan outfit
It can be had of any of the trading com
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
titter to palm off upon him nny of the
other branHnof baking powder, for ttiey
will spoil nnd prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble.
BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.
The Keaat Took Place 100 Silica From
linn. on and lull flilVHIO.
Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with a band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part of
his flock for Jl0,0uu. The other and
biggest half of the flock fid the birds
of tho arctic zone, this is how it bap
pned:
lie drove the sheep In over the Dal
tou trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 'MO, and received nearly
;.'U,000 for theui.
Then he concluded fo hold the re
mainder for a better market. He killed
the remaining 400 in a sort of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
of bears, wolves or other w ild animals
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for a
mining section. Having found one, he
located a claim and proceeded to test
it. After he had dug out a few thou
sand dollars' worth of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, "return
to his muttons."
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young m had become weary of
holding a wake over the sheep, and
imagining Dawson to be only a few
miles away, had started for that city
to enjoy some of the pleasures a met
ropolitan city can afford. It proved to
be about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he foumd only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles, ravens, crows, kites,
hawks and other birds of prey which
inhabit that region had been feasting
on mutton. Where the carcass
there will the eagles be gathered,
a proverb which applies to other birds
of prey. Collins had left so many car
casses that Invitations had been sent
out and a general round-up of all the
vultures and things In that region, from
Retiring sea to the Mackenzie river, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
lins secured will make good the lost
of the mutton or not remains to be seen
but when he drives In his next band of
theep the birds of prey will not get
so large a percentage of them. Port

PRUNING THE GRAP8.
II Skoal Be Den Before Ik
Start la Ike Sprlas.
T.ather more than any other kind of
fru,t, unless we except ihe peach, the
grape requires annual and severe prun
ing. If not properly pruned a vigor
ous, thrifty grape vine -"ill almost in
variably set more fruit than it can ma
ture well, and this exc essive draft on
tbe vitality of the viae so cripples it
that little or no fruit is secured the next
season. To this may be sdded the fact
that with any tree or vine when too
much fruit ii allowed to mature the
quality is almost invariably lowered.
It is necessary that the pruning be
done during the winter, tnd it should
be completed before the sap starts in
the spring. Otherwise tbe viue will
bleed, and bleeding is always injurious.
The work can be done at any time dur
ing the winter that tfie weather will
permit, and that the vkie is not frozen.
enerally it will be safe to cut away
fully half of the previous season s
growth, as it is on the last season's
growth of wood that the fruit is pro
duced. But in pruning it should be re
membered that the best canes for Iruit
bearing are the larger ones. Hence in
nruning as a rule it will be best to cut
off about one-third of the grow th of the
larirer. more thrifty fanes entirely
sometimes even to She extent of cutting
away some of the older wood.
Of course there are exceptions. Some
times the weaker caues may be so situ
ated that it will be desirable to have
them for bearing wood next year, and
when this is the ease it will Vie best to
cut back to the third bud, counting
from the base of the cane. The third
bud is usually the first perfect bud pro
duced. One advantage in judicious pruning
in good sensoti is that in the number ol
clusters at least it reduces the quantity
of fruit for the vine to mature, wthile it
Improves the quality.
It should be remembered, with all
plants, it is the production and matur
ing of seeds that is the heaviest dram
on the vitali'y of the plants, and good
pruning lessens this. St. Louis Re

War Does the Wheat Bread Crowd
Out tho Cornf
Most middle-aged persons rtniembei
well when cornbread was served upoi
nearly ail tables in the south and wr-t
at least twice a day. Souietiuirs it ap
peared in the form of "hoecuke" ot
"batter bread, and again in "pomes
It was par excellence the bread of the

of southern and western whites it
never appears at all, while others cou
tinue to use it only for dinner.
Now, whv is this? Surely cornmeal
Is as it ever was. Those who sincere

that "water-ground" meal is better than
the product of mills turned by stcair
can always find a supply of that in most
cities, and it is common enough in rh
country. There is no trouble about the
meal; but we doubt whether the art
of cooking it has been preserved. The

turned out by our public schools art
not the adepts that our old Aurt Dinahi

then we may seriously doubt w bethel

In fastening labels to trees care must
be taken to have the wire very loose

One advantage in setting out a good
variety of small fruits is that they come
into bearing so much earlier than tree

The older a tree gets the less adapted

? . .i... i-v iK. tfre.it editor became
interested and eventually decided to try this
mysterious suUtume on Ins own rheumatic
limbs slid weigh its value. He was accom
panied hv bis private pn.vwci.ui, j"e
Airuenian scientist of high attainments.
The great editor was raud-iiiimimiheii daily
for several weeks and gained visibly Ui
weight, strength and vitality. .
'lhe linal result of the experiment was an
nimualihVd success. Mr. Medill went
baik to Chicago in September, and w rote an
editorial about Maguo Mud Willi hn own
hand. Next, he siiit his son-in law tor a
little of the mud treatment. In November
he went down again, and since the new
bath house is completed he expects to be a
regular visitor fuiir times a year.
This iiiud treiitiiient in which Mr. Medill
found so much viitue, is peculiar, yet logical.
Alter all, everv form of life springs from the
earth, which, is the great destroyer and aasim
ilator of dead and elfete matter. At the
Indiana Mineral Springs is a beautiful little
natural amphitheatre, the slopes being
grown with magnificent oaks. At the foot of
the converging hills, a big I.itlna spring
gu.-hes forth at the rate of .'i.000 barrels a day
and Iloods tt-c JjII, which consists of a rich,
1 lack porous loam, ted Hv tne aeriuuous
foluige of the oak trees. This peculiar soil
saturated with mineral salts for ages, is aa
inhibit n uiii?ar. and being devoid of clav is
not sticky in the least. It is not, therefore,
in any sense related to the conventional mud
of the road-way, of the Chicago street or to
the variety which clings to your heels.
The mud is applied to the patient on a cot,
the subject being entirely encased in the
substance, steamed to a proper temperature.
It then acts as a poultice, stimulates the
skin, superficial blood vessels and nerves,
oiu-ns the nores and lithintes the blood, dis
solving all uric acid deposits. Nothing can
be simpler or more rational.

THE MAN WHO LIVED.
He should have been dead.
But he wasn't, because-
"There's nothing succeeds likeiucceu."
There is no withstanding the living argu
ment of the man who should be dead, who
isn't dead, but who would be dead, but for
a preserving medicine. That's about the
way it seemed to strike Editor Lawrence,
ol the Ohio Farmer, Cleveland, Ohio. He
wa afflicted with one of those colds that
have, thousands of times over, culminated
in consumption, when not promptly cured.
In this condition he met a friend, a con
sumptive, whom he had not expected to
ee alive. The consumptive friend recom
mended Dr. J. C. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
for lhe editor's cola, on the ground that it
had " helped him wonderfully. M It helped
the editor Just as wonderfully, giving
"almost instant relief." But read hit
letter:
"About two months ago. I was afflicted
with s bad cold, and, meeting s Irlend, he
dvised the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
which, he claimed, had helped him won
derfully. As he was a consumptive, whom
I had not expected to see alive for several
years, I concluded there must be merit in
this preparation. 1 accordingly bought a
couple of bottles, one of which I keep on
my aesn an ine lime. This Is certainly
the best remedy for a cold I ever used. It
