Six Doctors Failed.
&outh Bend. Ind., Oct. 24 (8pecial)
—After suffering from Kidney Disease
for three years; after taking treat
ment from six different doctors with-
out getting relief, Mr. J. O. Leudcman
of this place found not only relief but
a speedy and cotr.piete cure in Dodd'fc
Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure
Mr. I audeman says:
"Yea, I suffered from Kidney
Trouble for three years and tried six
doctors to no good. Then 1 took just
two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills anrl
they , not only cured my kidneys, but
gar# me better "health in general. Of
coupe I recommended Dodd's Kidney
PUls to others and I know a numbei
now who are using them with good re
suits."

perflnoes. For there never yet was i

Making Market Butter.
The churn should always be scalded
and cooled before being used. If this
is neglected once the churn Is dam
r.ged beyond repair. The temperature
used in churning should bo such that
the butter comes in about three quar-
ters of an hour. The churn should be
stopped whilo the granules are still
quite small. A few small particles of
butter may be lost in the buttermilk,
but with fine butter granules it Is pos-
sible to hold 2 per cent more mois-
ture In the butter in a very finely di-
vided condition, giving the butter a
much drier appearance. In washing
butter a quantity of water equal to
the buttermilk removed should be
used. The temperature of the wash
water should ba such as will leave
the butter neither too hard nor too
soft for working. Butter should be
salted in the cuurn whether the com-
bined chum is in use or not. An
easily soluble salt, not too fine grained
should bo used. It should bo so ap-
plied as to bo thoroughly mixed
through the butter with the minimum
amount of working. From three-quar-
ters to one and one-half ounces will
be required according to the condi-
tion and amount of moisture In butter
and the demands of the market. Aft-
er being salted and worked lightly the
butter shnuid stand until the salt has
dissolved when it should be reworked
and packed or printed.
Packages should be prepared by
steaming and soaking in briue con-
taining 1 per cent of formalin. Lin-
ers should be of the best quality of
parchment and should bo soaked in
the same solution. The finish should
be neat and the packages clean.—J.

Two Cows.
Two cows may differ very little as
to their production and yet one may
be worth twice as much as the other.
One cow costs $50 to keep and she
produces $55 worth of butter. The
other cow costs $50 to keep and she
produces $60 weeth of butter,
superficial estimate would place the
two cows in value as 11 Is to 12 mak-
ing the best cow one-eleventh more
valuable than the other. But the
fact is that the method of comparing
the cows is' faulty. It Is the profits
that must be compared and not the
total receipts for the milk. Compar-
ing the profits wo find that one cow
gave $5 profits and the other $10
profits. Therefore the second cow
was worth twice the first. The first
cow, we will say, sells on the market
for $30. The second cow is there
fore worth $60. That the public has
not yet taken that view of it is evi-
denced by fact that these two cows
will sell in the maiket at about $30
and $35 respectively. Wo do not put
the proper financial value on the good
cow and we give the poor cows too
high n value. But it frequently hap-
pens that the difference in profits be
tween two cows is very much greater
than this. One cow will make $5 a
year profit and another $75 a year
profit The one is worth fifteen times
as much as the other is worth. When
farmers come to really appreciate this
difference the good cow will be more
commonly kept on the farm than she
is now.
ttvery housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold

A Cheap Buttermaker.
At one place that I called last sum-
mer the creamery had but four months
before passed into the hands of the
farmers. They hail asked various
croamerymen tor advice and were
told that the most important thing
to do was to hire a first class butter-
maker and not allow a few dollars
In wages to stand In the way. They,
however, were of tho opinion that n
good enough ma> could be obtained
tor $35 or $40 and got a young man
for the latter figure. In four months
they lost nearly $400 on the butter and
tho day I got there he had left them
after washing up and when I got there
about 7 o'cloc!'. In the evening the
cream was at a temperature of 70 and
had 5% degrees of acidity, plenty ripe
enough to churn. There was no wa-
ter in tho class on the boiler and no
water in the tank and the pump was
broken and the churn which was a
new one was in a very bad condition.
1 got some ice and cooled tho cream
down and stayed two days breaking
in a new man, who I am pleased to
say has been having good success,
somo of tho credit for which may be
due to his wife, who works in the
creamery with him.—Prof. J. G.

The Debt-Making Cow.
There are a good many cows In
the country that arc making debts for
their owners rather than clearing
them of debts. The worst thing about
it is that these debt makers are not
known to be debt makers. They are
tolerated and accepted on their race.
A man with a good large herd of debt
makers always finds a lot of vork to
do, but somehow or other his family
are always lacking the things they
think they should have. The only
good thing to be said about these
cowa Is that their milk swells the
volume of the milk that goes to the
cities and so keeps down the price the
poor people have to pay. So far us
the farmer is concerned the quicker
these debt makers are seut to the oeef
barrel or the butcher's block the bet-

sometimes she has proved to be noth-
ing more, so far as eggs are concerned
—not even a layer. But we are only
now beginning to find that out The
dairy cowa have been investigated
as to their ability to produce butter
cheaply. Some were found that made
butter at a cost of eight cents a pound
and others that made butter at a cost
of 70 cents a pound. The hens have
been investigated as to their ability
to produce eggs cheaply and some have
been found that produced eggs at ten
cents a dozen in winter and others at
a dcilar a dozen. A good many hens,
like a good many cowa, are more
profitable dead than alive.
We will never get vory satisfactory
work done In ti'.e line of experimenta-
tion till we are able to keep hens by
themselves and know lor a certainty
the record of each hen and be able
to watch each one in all respects.
There are hens that are almost non-
producers of eggs. In tho ordinary
flock they mingle with the others and
are always healthy. They would make
admirable potpie, but the owner feels
that he cannot dispense with any of
his layers. There are other hens that
are not attractive looking, yet if they
are kept by themselves they will be
found to be great egg producers. "rery
often egg producing gets a fowl out
of shape, and this very thing leads
to her being killed off for the tablo
when she should be retained.
8ome Guinea Hens.
Guinea fowls have been raised on
American tarms for a long time, but
they probably have never received
more attention than they are to-day
receiving. Guinea fowls are easily
and cheaply raised when they are
given their liberty, as they are great
foragers and prefer to hunt their own
support if possible. The females are
quite proli-flc layers, and it is reason-
able to suppose that at some time
their eggs will sell well in the market.
Their smallness and brown color mili-
tate somewhat against them at the
present time, as the buyers do not
know the eggs well enough to demand
them. It may well be believed how-
ever that if they were so common
that they were constantly obtainable
in the market they would soon be in

Opportunities for Poultry Raisers.
To the farmers living within twenty
or thirty miles of tho large cities
there aro always opportunities that
Bhould prove very profitable. Great
hotels are always ready to take con-
signments of poultry and eggs pro
vided the consignments can be made
every day the year round. One Chi-
cago hotel was for some time trying
to find a farmer that would furnish
25 dozen eggs a day at 25 cents a
dozen. The contract was too big for
any one of them to take. There were
farmers that would agree to furnish
25 dozen of eggs a day through the
laying season, but they could not
promise to keep It up throughout the
year. 1 he knowledge of how to pro-
duce winter eggs is so lacking gen-
erally that few have the temerity to
base a contract on the ability to do so.
Few American farms have the equip-
ment necessary to produce 300 eggs
a day, even if the laying habits of the
fowls are ever so well apportioned as
to season. It will pay our farmers to
so equip their farms that they can
take advantage of the very profitable
opportunities that so frequently pass
by. In tho old mythology Father
Time has a lock of hair on the front
part of his head to signify that who
ever would make the most of time
must bo able to seize the opportunity
as it comes and not as It goes. The
farmer that is ready for the opportun-
ity before it comes will generally find
the opportuhlty coming his way.
Poultry and Orchards.
It is frequently asserted that or-
eharding and poultry raising go to-

small scale, but we can hardly con-

comprising hundreds of acres of land
being made also a poultry range. In
auch a case the combination would be

Tho bugs and worms are eaten by the
