We hear a great deal about the value
of bacteria culiures. It Is likely that
some good will result from their intro
duction; there is danger, however, that
lu the attempt to produce the best
esult we overlook one of the oldest
ultures in existence, the culture of
leanliness. We believe it wus Wes
ley who said cleanliness was next to
godliness, a motto believed by many
gisxl people to be found ill the liible,
says tile Creamery uazette. It con
tains, In fact, a very strong element
of Itible doctrine. There Is no place,
however, where cleanllni'sa is so es
sential as In tile dairy. From the brush
ing of the cow's udder until the tub
is ready for shipment, cleanliness Is
of the utmost importance. Itirt on the
outside of the tub. no matter how line
the butter may be, will seriously af-
ct the price. Culture of cleanliness
cannot lie purchased in quantity. It
can only 1k had by self-control, dilli-
gciice, formation of the habit from
hlldhood up, iiinl un instinctive ha
tred of dirt, and nil the better if the
Instinct Is Inherited. Let us get all
the good possible out of cultures and
starters and alrthat science can give
us on that line, but do not forget the
old and reliable culture of cleanliness.

Anil Molature,
1'rof. W. D. CiHrtw, at the farmers'
convention, In Ohio, made the state
ment that It requires 1,200 tons of
water to make an acre of corn. He
urged the eynteiuatlc saving of the
natural moisture of the soil by eradica
tion of the weeds. They act as so
many pumps to bring the moisture to
the surface and evaporate It. He
showed that the natural moisture of
the earth is easily, exhausted by Im
proper methods of cultivation; that fre
quent level aud shallow cultivation
furulshen a mulch at the surface; that
while lootie foil will hold In solution
twice as much moisture as compact
soli, yet if the entire soli surface be
loose It will soon exhaust the subsoil
of Its moisture, because, being loose,
It parts with moisture rapidly under
the sun's rays, and, being loose, has
not so great capillary power to bring
the plant roota the moisture of the
subsoil.
Protecting Frnlt Tree.

decoctions of paint, copperas or any
similar coniMiuiid. Weave together
eight laths so they will be one-eighth
of an Inch opart and fasten them alxuit
the tree. This will afford protection
from rabbits, borer), sheep, mice and
suiiHcald, and will last a long time at
a cost of a half-cent a your. I have
used this protection for twelve years,
and have not lotK a single tree, says

Kxperlments conducted at the Ala-
bit ma statiou show that approximately
six aud one-half times more of nitrogen
Is found lu the vines of cow peas Id
the full thau lu those left over to the
following spring. The reason of this It
that the nitrogenous materials are lost
by decomposition. The materials of a
mineral character will be also lost from
the leaves being blown or washed tc
other localities. The North Carolina
station has gotten the best results from
plowing under after the pea vines art
rljie in the fall, following with wheat,
aud not allowing tliem to remain on
the land until the next spring. Cow
peas have somewhat more fertilizing
properties than common clover.

Here or ten. l-.very evening repeat t.liti
operation, using one quart. Do not put
up any scarecrows, twine or anything
else to nolify the crows that you have
corn planted ready for them. The
crows will not dig up the ground or
pull up the younger sproiit.s If they cau
get It without this trouble, from a
peck to a half bush"! will be siiflicient
to feed them until to crop is tito large

Heat Stock for Peare.
Fears are generally jsxirer growers
thau apples, aud many varieties have
to be double-worked In order to got a
good tree. Thhj is particularly true of
some of tbe recent introductions of
winter pears, Barry aud B. S. Fox, for
instance, which always have to be top
grafted. One of the bent, If not the
best, stocks for top-grafting Is the Klef
fer, but any strong, upright, vigorous
sort will do. The Kleffer In a quick
grower, hardy, and can be iKwight at a
rea.soiiable price. It Is as easy to graft
pears as apples, and any one can do W
with a little study and practice.
Tbe Profitable Cowa.
The difference between a cow that
will produce 200 pounds of butter per
years at 25 cents per pound, and one
that will produce 300 pounds, Is $25.
During ten years of the cow'e life there
is a difference in favor of the 300-pound
cow of $250. With twenty such cows
there would be a credit In favor of the
ruip?rlr cows of $5,000 and with forty,
$1.0,000 would bo the amount your Imtik
account would show over and above
what it would with the cow that pro
duced 200 pounds per year for ten
years.
Farming Not Hard Work.

class. In fact, there Is uo clasrj of labor
ers having work on hand at all times
that are so little chained to the tread
mill of lalior a are the farmers. Work
well ami 'hard thev do that Is, the en
terprising ones yet there are snatches
of time, leisure hours, Htormy days
and, above all, winter evenings, which
give leisure and the opportunity for
reading far above thnt of nny other
class of laboring people, says the Maine
Farmer.

forts gentle eff oris pleasant efforts '
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that ho many forms of
bickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
fimily laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating1 the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-1

If in the enjoyment of frood health
