Henry Carey, one of the very best of
the many good servants employed by
the Pennsylvania railroad, died about
two years ago, lamented and respected
by every officer of the road whom he
came ia contact with, says the Phila
delphia Timen. Carey was one of those
ideal servants who was never around
except when he was wanted, and then
he was sure to be in evidence. He had
that happy faculty of just knowing
. what was the right thing to do at the
right moment,and if he was not wanted
you would think the earth had swal
lowed bin up, and in the moment he
swas wanted he appeared to descend
from the clouds. A little incident in
his life before he got in the employ of
the railroad company is worth relating.
At that, time he was a porter of one
s.of the Pullman cars and one day just
' as they were leaving the station in Chi-
cago he was going through the cars,
when one of the passengers asked him
for some slight information. He said
he didn't know, but he would find out
and bring back the answer, which he
did in a few minutes. The passenger
then asked himeto be good enough
to hand him a drink of water. He said
certainly in a most polite way and
brought him the glass of water. Tho
passenger was quite, taken with the
kindly face of Carey, and said to him
that he was not very well and that he
might get worse on the journey and
asked him it he wouldn't be good
enough to pay him some little atten
j iron on the way. Carey then told him
that that was not his car, that his car
was in front and that he could give
him but very little attention there.
He then asked if he might not be re
moved to the front car. Carey said he
would have to consult the conductor,
which he did. The conductor agreed
to the transfer and he was moved into
Carey's car. For the first eight or ten
hours the man was rather under the
weather, but Carey gave him every at
tention in his power, and from that on
he rather improved, but Carey still
kept up his kind attention, bringing
him everything that he thought he
might like, and doing everything that
he wanted. When he arrived in Phila
delphia Carey took his valise out to the
platform When the passenger, watch
ing his opportunity, saw the porter of
the other car that he had left come up
to talk with Carey, the passenger put
his hand into his vest pocket, took out
a hundred-dollar note and handed it to
Careysaying: "I want to thank you.
for your attention (o me on the jour
. -ney here, and I also want to reward
you for your kindness to me. Good
day, I hope you may have a prosperous
'time." To say that the porter whose
car the passenger had left dropped
ilea J, is to moderately depict his feel
ings. . There are so many more mean men than
cood, that a good man is always under sus
picion. Most funny stories arc either on an Irish
. man or a man just married.

. SUNSTRUCK TREES.
They at Oaee Part With Their Vitality
aad Die.
During the late extraordinary warm
spell the writer of this paragraph was
called upon to see a large sugar maple'
tree that was supposed to have been
destroyed by a leak of the city gas main
at the root, but an examination showed
that the tree died, literally, from sun
stroke. It is strange that close ob
servers of trees are unable to see when
anything is out of the common run ef
things, and consequently note that
something is going wrong. This sugar
maple had been planted on the street
probably a quarter of a century ago,
and was about' four feet in circum
ference, but the trunk was almost tri
angular, and yet this peculiarity
seemed to attract no attention. The
tree was simply triangular because on
three sides of the tree the bark and
wood had evidently been destroyed
years ago, while tbe outer bark still
continued to cover up the injury, and
the only live wood was on the angles of
the trunk. Only about one-third of the
trunk was practically alive. When the
exceedingly warm spell came it was im
possible for these limited ducts to sup
ply the moisture required for -such a
large surface of foliage, and the tree,
therefore, literally died from Inability
to furnish the moisture required for
transpiration. It may always be taken
for granted that when the trunk of a
tree, naturally cylindrical, takes an
angular form there is something wrong
beneath the bark, and an examination
should at once be made. The flatter
portions will usually be found dead. In
this case the bark should be wholly
cut away from the dead portion and
the denuded part painted, in order to
check rotting away. In time the
healthy wood may grow over the wound
or lifeless part, and the life of the tree
be eventually s?--

Charles E. Coffin, of Muirkirk, lid.,
has lately placed at tbe disposal of the
Woman's College Museum for study
and description, in connection with
other collections from the same region,
a remarkable saurian tooth, recently
exhumed froi his iron mines in Prince
George county. It measures three
inches' In length, and the herbivorous
dinosaur to which it belonged was not
less than twenty-five feet in length.
The dentine of the tooth, with its beau
tiful polish and characteristic trans
verse markings, is- almost perfectly
preserved, and the delicate serrations
of its edges are as sharply denned as
when the reptile was imbedded in the
lignitic clays of the Potomac forma
tions. The mine from which the tooth
was excavated is the same as that from
which Professor O. C. Marsh, of Yale,
several years ago obtained a considera
ble collection. These remains were so
highly prized by this distinguished in
vestigator that several men and an en
gineer were employed for a number of
weeks in making excavations for the
same, says Baltimore American. Though
the Maryland dinosaurs were huge ani
mals in comparison with reptiles now
living, they are but dwarfs beside some
of the gigantic species which inhabited
the western North America in Jurassic
time. During a recent visit to the
Woman's college. Professor Marsh re

T MAT not be
amiss to suggest to
inexperienced butter-makers
that
they will save
themselves a good
deal of trouble, loss
of time and damage
.to the butter If they
wiU bear in mind a
few simple rules
that apply with
more force in cold weather than warm,
says V. M. Couch In American Dairy
man. The temperature of the cream
for churning is a matter of the first
importance. What the exact churning
temperature should be can beN deter
mined by experiment, for the condition
of the cream varies on different farms,
owing to the kind of cows, the
way they are fed and the meth
od of setting the milk and keep
ing and ripening the . cream, but a
temperature of about 62 degrees will
come nearer, I believe, to suiting most
cases than any other. It is safe to be
gin at that temperature and, if not
satisfactory, raise or lower it at suc
ceeding churnings until the proper de
cree is reached. For instance, should
the churning at 62 degrees 'take too
long a time and the butter when it
comes is off-color and inclined to be
crumbly, at the next: churning to a
temperature of 64 or 66 degrees, accord
ing to circumstances. When if the but
ter conies too soon and is softj a low
er temperature should:be tried. Cream
should not be allowed to freeze, but
if only one churning a week be made,
it should be kept cool enough to keep
it from souring till the day before it
is churned, when if not slightly acid,
it should be set in a room warm enough
so that It will become so in twenty
four hours. The cream should be well
stirred every time a fresh skimming is

added, or twice a day. When putting
the cream in the churn, strain it
through a cloth strainer. This will re
move all specks that would mar the
appearance of the butter, including bits
of curd that may have formed and
hardened in the cream, and which, if
allowed to go into the churn, would
show as white specks in the butter. It
granulated butter is made which is
the best and most proper way and it
comes too hard or too soft, work it with
water warmed or cof led to salt the case.
If the butter is to be salted with brine,
ise water warmed or cooled to suit
.be case. If the butter is to be salted

Treatsaeat of Milk Fever.
A correspondent of Hoard's Dairy
man, B. W. Gregory, Sullivan Co., N.
Y., claims to have been successful in
the treatment of milk fever with cows.
For the benefit of our dairymen we give
his formula as follows:
The formula that was adopted was to
give pound salt-petre on first discov
ery of the fever (which is always known
by drying up of the flow of milk and
prostration) and in two hours, twenty-
five drops 01 aconite; in two hours 1
more, ir not reiwred (do not try to get
the cow up but let her he quiet until she
gets up herself), repeat with M pound
of salt-petre and then in two hours with
twenty drops of aconite. Alternate the
above X pound salt-petre and 20 drops
f aconite every two hours until re.
Jeved. I have had several cases since
adopting the above coarse and havo not
lost one since using it Have had stub
born cases where they have taken four
doses each of the above prescription,
but they have always recovered all I
right The nrst cow that was experi
mented with, my neighbor dairymaB
said, "Experiment with her as much as
you please, she will never get on her
feet again." In fifteen hours after giving
her the first dose of salt-petre she got
on her feet with her own accord and in
48 hours was giving 20 pounds of milk
twice a day. If the above is of any
use to you or your fellow men, use it
and "not put your light under a bush
el." I have kept a dairy for milk pro
duction, of thirty or forty cows, for a
namber of years, fed these heavily aad

How Much Room? More room Is re
quired in the poultry house in winter
than in sammer because during the
warm season the fowls can go outside
only reomlrlngMntelentrooai fer roost
ing, hot la whiter they need room for
scratching when the snow Is an ths

that is reqaired and not on the roost,
far when a kea ixas TaaratU oa tan;
rats she will be quiet until morning;
but daring the day she should be neat
busy. Ten fowls in a' poultry heaaa
ten feet kfnare (making lot square feet)
are suBclent, but most persons endeav
or ta doubleand even treble that num
ber, and the consequence is that they
feed too many fowls in?proportion to
the number of hens they keep. (The
Farmers' Review doubts the correctness
of the statement, and believes that far
less room is required.)
Frozen Food. All food that has
moistened will freeze and become use
less when the weather is cold. When
the food is placed In the trough it
should be rather too little than too
much, and should be given warm. As
soon as tbe hens have eaten, all the
food left over should be removed and
the" trough cleaned. If they have not
had enough a little wheat or corn may
be scattered In litter for them to
scratch. If they eat partially frozen
food' the hens will be chilled and will
not lay.
Winter Expenses. The profits will
not be large If the expenses are not
kept down. The loss from useless
males, hens that do not lay, and chicks
that make no. growth sometimes bal
ances the profits produced by the profit
able hens. There will be some good
hens in all flocks, and they give large
profits for the entire year, but the
expenses due to keeping fowls that pro
duce nothing lead the inexperienced to
attach the fault to the whole, the good.
as well as the inferior: when the best
course Is to dispose of all but the ones
that arc paying for tbe shelter and food
bestowed.
Bowel Disease and Chicks. Tho
principal cause of loss of chicks in
winter is bowel disease, which is gen
erally attributed to the kind of food
used, but whfth is due, as a rule, to
lack of warmth. Chicks are very sus
ceptible to changes of temperature, and
especially during damp days. A brood
er should be kept at 95 degrees and the
brooder house at 75 degrees, so as to
prevent the chicks from' being chilled
at any time, for should a young chick
become chilled bowel disease at once
sets in and the chick soon dies. Mir

OverFeediag.
Overfeeding is mostly done with soft
food. It is placed in a trough and the
fowls arc allowed to help themselves,
the consequences being that some get
more than their share while others get
much less, the fortunate ones becom
ing fat and lazy, and all of them reach
ing the'sanic condition later. Soft food
should not be considered as a meal,
but only a part thereof, hence the fowls
should never be given more than one
half the quantity they would eat. It is
necessary at times to vary the ration
by tbe use of soft food, as bran, mid
dlings, linseed meal, and ground meat
can be best given in such form, but all
classes of poultry will eat as much as
possible at a meal when there are a
number of fowls together, as they are
induced to do so through competition.
Ducks and turkeys prefer soft food, but
chickens arc more partial to whole
grains and other seeds, which can be
scattered over a wide surface, in which
case all hens will share alike. To
learn how much soft food to give, put a
certain amount of food in a trough and
let the hens eat until they walk away
satisfied. Weigh the amount left over
and you will then know the exact quan
tity eaten; that is, how much they can
and will eat. but the next day. they
should receive not over one-halt the
quantity eaten the day before.
Easily Built Ice House. No expens
ive structure is needed for an ice house,
though where it is an object to have no
wasting away, it should be made tight
er than where this does not matter so
much, writes W. F. Lake in Country
Gentleman. Slabs from the saw mill
do very nicely for. the roof, and the
sides may also be of rough boards.
Where desired, the ice house may be
one corner of the wood shed parti
tioned off, in which ice will keep quite
as well as in a more costly structure.
Even stacking is often, resorted to, by
laying down rails for a floor, on which
to stack the blocks compactly. Cover
heavily with some material which is
non-conducting, such as straw, hay
etc., finishing the top. so as to' shed rain!
bracing-the sides with boards and rails
to keep covering in position. Care must
be taken in getting at the ice, always to
open at same place and cover up thor
oughly, or some not oay will turn It to
water. In putting in the Ice, no mat
ter where it may be, always surround it
wiut nou-couuueung material like
dust
Storing Snow. Snow can be stored
by haying a 'fairly tight house aad
packing it with snow, pouring ia water
each night after the layer of snow Is
pnt on! The cold weather will frees
this into a solid mass and It can be

I have known hogcholera germs tabs
iveyed fear miles on the wind,
alight ia a filthy hog pen and finally
wsstror all the hogs In it, while hogs
in clean peas near by escaped, says an
exchange., There is a great disparity
of opinion as to what filth Is. Gener
ally it emits a disagreeable scent A
stinking swill barrel or hog trough is
not cleanliness, nor Is a bad smelling
hogpen. "Hogging down" corn, espe
cially when the weather is warm, is
not a clean proceeding. A. hog may
eat part or an ear of corn, leave solid
droppings on the remainder to tester
in the hot sun, cholera bacteria alight
upon it and breed, and then another
hog comes along and finishes the ear,
disease germs and all. "Hogs follow
ing cattle" well, this is dangerous
ground. So many, practice it and be
lieve in it that If i should condemn it
all the Toms, Dicks and Harrys from
Oklahoma to Ohio would "follow" me
with the precipitancy of a man run
ning down stairs pursued by a kitchen
stove, and perhaps, for safety, compel
ling me hastily to seek the shortest way
to the tallest timber. 80 1 will let that
pass and say nothing about it. Any
thing that weakens a hog's system
makes him more receptive of cholera
microbes. In this category can be
named too close inbreeding, breeding
from immature animals and wrong
feeding, as an all corn diet for young
animals, stinking slops, impure drink
ing water, nesting in cold, damp pla
ces and other errors in feeding and
care. Disease bacteria and cleanliness
are antagonistic, and the farmer will
not flourish it environed by the latter
with this one exception, that there has
been a profuse production of the for

or the beginning of the egg season
proper, which usually occurs, in March
and April, took place much earlier in
1896, and eggs fell to 12 cents a doz
en in the month of January, and dur
ing the spring the capacities of the
several cold-storage houses were taxed
to accommodate the eggs stored. Prices
have been low, but dealers in this prod
uct have had a fairly successful year,
and, though all the cold-storage eggs
have not been disposed of, Chicago en
ters the new year with 50,000 cases of
eggs less than were carried over one
year ago. The supply of poultry has
been smaller, proportionately than in
past years. It is estimated that the
crop of turkeys was one-third less than
in 1S95.
Below are average prices for the year
for eggs and poultry:

i Ituba for Wiater Market.
' , The people of the United States want
-mutton during other than the late au
tumn months. When lambs, generally
speaking.-are rushed into the market
on the approach of winter, the, inevit
able result is a glut in the market.
When the feeding is carried on into
the winter some food of a watery na
ture, as roots, will render good service
as one factor of the ration. Roots give
tone to the system. Very probably
good corn ensilage will answer nearly
as well, when three or four pounds per
day are fed. The most convenient grain
ration in your state would probably be
corn, oats and bran. In tbe absence
of roots or corn ensilage tbe corn
should be fed cautiously. Then, doubt
less the small wheat of which you have
much, may be found of service, but
your excellent staff of professors at the
experiment station will tell you all
abont these things. In solving prob
lems of this nature the agricultural ex
periment stations are of inestimable
value to the farmers, and through them
to the whole community. Wn. A.

Canned Beef. Germany has prohibit
ed American canned meats, and Ameri
can packers are as mad as wet hens
about it Perhaps the German inspect
ors have learned to discriminate be
tween canned beef and canned horse.
We are of the opinion that nothing
would do as much to extend out foreign
trade, ia food products as honest goods.
Our own people at least all of them
-who are up to that sort of stuff have
long ago prohibited American canned
meats from their tables. The last can

Dr. Flamstead, who was astronomer
royal in Newton's time, was rather
tickled by the belief of his neighbors
in his powers of con&ultinf the stars
about terrestrial affairs. Aa old
washerwoman at Greenwich, who had
been robbed of her linen, came to con
sult him about its recovery, so he set
about drawing squares and circles,
and suggested that if she went into a
certain field ho would not be surprised
if she found her lost linen in a ditch;
but when she came back "with haste
and joy' and a half crown in her hand
for his fee, he was not only very much
surprised, but alarmed. "Good
woman,11 ho said, "I am heartily glad
you have found your linen, but I - as
sure you I knew nothing of it, and In
tended to read you a lecture on the
folly of applying to auy. person to
know events not in human power to
tell; but I see Satan has a mind I
should deal with him, and never will
I attempt such an affair again so long
as I livo." Argonaut.

Mm now, one can hardly believe that
he has been sack a great sufferer. He
writes of his falling health and re-recovery
In his characteristic way as fol
lows: "For several -years I was troubled
with Indigestion so severe as to make It
Impossible to take more than two meals
a day without Intense suffering. I grew
worse gradually until. July. 1895, I was
suddenly attacked with Increased pain
and soreness ever the pit of my stom
ach and sharp pain's la my right aide,
which rapidly Increased until I could
scarcely get my breath. A physician
was called for Immediate relief and hy
podermic Injections of morphine were
resorted to for relief. I was able to be
out In about a week, but had a second
attack the following August, more In
tense than before. I was reduced from
15 to 134 lbs. la nine days and left
wholly unable to take any nourishment.
I lived on lime water and a very little
milk for several days after. For one
year I carried morphine pellets in my
pockets ready for an emergency. AH
this time my stomach was sore and very
sensitive. I discovered that what
would agree with my stomach this
week would probably not next week,
and that I was getting nearer and near
er to-a final collapse. I consulted three
of 'the best physicians In the state and
two agreed fully as to my ailment, but
failed to give me relief. Having utterly
failed to obtain relief. I finally made ar
rangements to go to Chicago to be
treated when my little boy chanced to
get a sample package of Dr. Kay's Ren
ovator, which he brought to me. I was
Induced to try It. not having the least
faith In Its virtues. I thought this sam
ple relieved me. and I purchased a 25
cent box. Before it was all used I had
so Improved that I was taking three
meals a day, which I had not done for
years. I then used one package of the
Urge Dr. Kay's Renovator and one
more of the small aixc. It Is eight
months since I commenced using Dr.
Kay's Renovator and I now have no
symptoms whatever of my old trouble. I
