RELIEF WITHIN THE REACH OF ALL. THE iOUS KICKAPOO INDIAN REME- ALL POWERFUL FOR THIS MOST HEN one considers the exposure and hard life endured by the Indians from birth until old age, and reflects upon the fact that rheumatism is unknown to them it cannot be doubted but that their medicines must contain all powerful properties, which is certainly the case. The Indian preserves his perfect health by paying the greatest possible attention to his body. For years he has studied the art of healing and having become thoroughly con- versant with na- ture’s own remedies which she dis- penses to him in the form of roots, barks and_ herbs, and which by ex- perience he has learned to skillfully gather and com- Dine so that at last he has succeeded in obtaining remedies which are recog- nized throughout the world as the most wonderful specifics for this most dreaded disease. Kickapoo Indian Oil when applied ex- ternally relieves inflammation almost immediately, whereas their famous Kicka- le poo Indian Sagwa, that great blood, liver, stomach and kidney in- vigorator, dis- pels the cause of this trouble ina remarkably short space of time.

One of the things that the dairy farmer should see to is that there is a good garden or, his farm, and made an adjunct to the plan of good living. Too many dairy farms have fallen away in this crop and that, until the milk crop is about all the one that is left, and everything needed about the house and its living is purchased, even to the fruits; and to see the old tin fruit cans at the back door of many a farm house would indicate that if there was any luxuries on the table, they were grown on some other farm and perhaps across 8 With the milk and cream at command, with small fruits and berries scattered through the sea- son, there is no reason why the dairy- man may not live like a lord, and con- sume pure fruit and berries without taking with them enough borax and to start a drug store. The gar- arting point of all farm crops and field work, and we think that there is or at least should be enough Old Adam in a dairyman—as well as original sin—to influence him to have a garden and one in which the principal crops are not purslane and ragweed. Make the rows of berries long, and the small fruits and vegeta- bles likewise, and when they are well growing, mulch them well with clean seed raw, tuck it well about the plants and bushes, and there is little or no more work to do the rest of the sea- son in hoeing or fighting weeds. The living from the farm grows more lim- ited each year if it all must be pur- chased, and why not grow the good es instead? Hard and the lux s do not effect the growth of gar- den truck, if well fertilized with com- posted hen manure and tLe like, and once established and mulched as we suggest, it will grow in dry well as in wet weather; grows week days and Sundays are days of especial effort. Cows must be milked early in the fiternoon for amery or train, and an hour's work in the cool of the even- ing now and uren, and the good things that will in duc time come from the effort will make one forget the presi- dential turmoil and soon enable him to see that a bushel of garden truck brought into the house is worth two visits of a doctor, A man who will learn to tend a garden well will so learn system that he will be all the better and methodical dairyman for it. We know. We have tried it. Where and When Is Milk Made? Ever since we can remember, there have been positive statements made by scientists and expert dairymen as to how the cow made her milk. But, so far as we can find out, no one to-day can accurately supply the desired in- formation. . At the institutes we have, in reply to repeated questions, stated that the milk was, in all probabil elaborated How, during the process of milking. How- ever, we had no positive pro Many doubted the statement. No post-mortem examination ever gave proof that the milk was elaborat- ed before the cow was milked. Gn the reverse Vv indirectly proven. To prove that this is undoubt- edly true, we quote from the London Dairyman: “A correspondent reports that he had avery good cow, which was so hard to milk that he fattened her for beef, and when she was slaughtered he gave the udder a very careful amination by n. The cow gained in milk ng the fattening, and was purpose- ly killed when the udder was full of milk, for the purpose of studying the milk glands and the process of secre- tion of the milk. “On separating the udder from the ear and dividing it in the immedi- ate line between the two glands,” sa. the correspondent, “I was surprised to find less than a quarter of a pint of milk in it. The udder contained no milk, but every lobule was gorged so as to cause the glands to be hard and solid. “The ducts of the teats contained no mi and the fibrous muscles which formed the sphinictir at the ends of the teats, were interlaced diagonally and were hard and tense with very t elasticity. The cow would have given eight quarts of milk, which was her usual milking; but it was evident that the was not stored in the udder as milk, but the glands con- ned the milk in an incomplete con- mh. Under the microscope the lobules of the gland appeared swollen to their fullest extent and quite different from I had previously examined in cows. On dividing the glandular substance into thin slices. the milk could just be scen oozing out. and the butter globules imbedded in the gland- ue. evident that the mill an incomplete condition and not yet secreted from the glandular substance. It did not even drain out more than a few drops.” Dairy Feeding. Milk is one of the farm products about which*a great deal is yet to be learned, although much information has been acquired in relation to it dur- ing recent years. While there are points as to its composition and mode f production that are yet in doubt, we at least know what it is not. It is not | a creation but a transformation, and if ns delete- they are rious qualities or bad odor quite certain to reappear in the milk and butter made from it. The import- ance, therefore,of good feeding in qual- ity and quantity can hardly be over- rated. The pastures should be as rich as possible, and for high quality should be uplands rather than lowlands with their coarse grasses. F from weeds, too, in both th hay, is quite impor the mysterious odor: aid the bad fia - | Of course, it is not meant that it will buttermaker often finds it so hard to detect the cause, are due to the fact that the pastures or the hay contain weeds not fit for feeding milk animals. Mustiness in either the hay or grain is pretty sure to reveal itself. Sound grain and sound by-products fed in connection with good forage, also in a sound condition, will go far to remove the complaints which the buttermaker makes about goods that are off flavor. prevent all these cases. Many of them | are due to bad setting, bad ripening, milking in unclean and unventilated quarters, to the fact that deleterious bacteria have somehow gained posses- sion of the milk room, or to lack of leare of the utensils. But many of them, also, are caused by feed, and this is the place to begin to guard against them. Of course, it is only the place to begin. The @airyman’s task | does not end here; but if this attention be paid to the quality of the food, and the cows are then fed up to their limit of profitableness, a good many of the complaints as to quality will disap- pear. Butter Production. A winter feeding experiment with dairy cows is reported in detail in bul- letin No. 43 of the Utah experiment station by F. B. Linfield. Tests were made to determine the value of Utah fodders in feeding dairy cows; also as to how much grain it would pay to feed with the fodders used; and, third, to determine the effect of feed on the per cent of fat in the milk. The ex- periment was conducted during the winter of 1894-5. Full details are given in the bulletin, and the results, as far as can yet be determined, are sum- marized as follows: 1. This test adds but another item to the fairly well established fact ihat an increase in the quantity of concen- trated food in the ration of a cow Coes not increase the richness of the milk, provided the cow is well fed to start with. 2. Any increase in the grain fed ever six pounds per day increased the cost of the dairy products almost without exception; and the test indicates that with the fodders used eight pounds cf grain is the highest limit for the great- est profit. 8. Considered from the point of price lucerne hay and grain seem to be a more economic ration than one of mix- ed hay and grain, but considering tue weight of food there is very little dif- ference, though the results are slightly in favor of lucerne. 4. It is evident from these tests that, with the price of lucerne as reported ( ‘D5 per ton), cows may be fed at a food cost in winter of less than 9 cents a day per 1,000 pounds live weight. | even with cows that will produce one , pound of butter or more a day. 5. The test also shows that with the right kind of cows butter fat may be produced during the winter at a cost of not more than 9 cents per pound. 6. The cows which were the largest eaters per 1,000 pounds live weight were, without exception, the largest and most economic producers. Sweet Cream. Churaing: After four years r churning sweet cream the dairy de- partment of the Ontario agricultural | man.”—Harper’s Bazar. college has decided that butter can be | made from sweet cream which will suit a certain class of customers, who like mild, fresh cream flavored but- ter; but by the m+, of persons of Canada ripened cream butter liked. better. Other points learned are: 1. We must churn sweet cream at a very low temperature (45 degrees or below) in order to obtain all the but- ter. Churning at ordinary tempera- tures means 2 great loss of fat in the buttermilk. Cream rich in butter fat (25 to 30 per cent) gives the best rj} sults. Sweet ercam butter does not pes- sess “keeping quality” the same as ripened cream butter. We have found that it quickly goes off in flavor :1d does not improve or take on the flavor of ripened cream butter as claimed by some. 8. The temperature of the cream usually ri above 10 degrees in the process of churning, indicating that the low temperature is not suitable for bringing the butter (yet nece ry to start with) in order to gather all the particles of fat. Dairy Notes. To make the best butter it is essen- tial to have good cows. A slow milker is a nuisance in a} dairy, and a dirty one is worse. ‘o farm product placed upon the shows such wonderful ex- | of character as butter.

The tables of our farmer friends might nearly always be provided with cheese, pure, good and wholesome, did they use the milk for cheese-making instead of producing 7-cent butter. It is always best to sell butter when fresh, because the maker gets his mon- ey at once, because the butter is then | at its best, and because all risk of the product spoiling is avoided.

It is for this rea- son that the entire public is interested to hear of the recovery from sickness of a comrade. James M. McKelvy Post G. A. R., of St. Cloud, Minnesota, contains one such, Milton F.

He is now fifty-one years of age. He served in the war three years and seven months, with Company G, New York, participating in sixty bat- tles, including Gettysburg. During the war Mr. Sweet contracted heart disease, which was accompanied by excessive nervousness. As-age in- creased his symptoms grew worse and many were the remedies resorted to by him without the slightest relief. We will let Mr. Sweet tell the story in his own words: “Six months ago, at the suggestion of a comrade, who had been benefited by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, I began their use, and I very cheerfully state that they have invigorated and built up my nervous system in a wonderful way. They have done me a world of good and I have been greatly benefit- ed by their use, where everything else 1 took failed to give me the relief I sought for. I have recommended them to a large number of my old comrades and it is a pleasure for me to do so, for I feel that the manufact- urers are deserving of any good that I can do them in saying a good word for their product, in return for the good they have done me. I will gladly recommend these pills to any one writ« ing me if they doubt the genuiness of this statement.” When interviewed, Mr. Sweet felt so grateful for the good tnat he had re ceived through Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills that he did not have the slightest hesitancy in going on record. His word is considered his bond by all who 4now him throughout this section. Mr. Sweet is not the only one in Stearns County who is using this celebrated medicine and with equally good re- sults.
