Farm Notes.
Cost considered, says Waldo F.
Brown, the best implement for pulver-
izing the soil is a plank drag. Todo
the best work the drag must be used
on tresh-plowed land.
Those secking the market for hot-
house lambs may bear in mind that
consumers prefer lambs with black
faces and legs, as well as as they do
brown eggs.
Cows soon to calve should have a
cool, laxative diet and not be overfed.
If they are good milkers and are high-
ly fed up to the time of calving there
is danger of milk fever.
No man who understands the dairy
business ever sells his best cows at any
price. The better the dairyman the
more suspicious the buyer should be of
the cow he wants to sell.
An English Court once decided
that a lamb became a sheep as soon as
it had acquired its first pair of perma-
nent teeth. If that is sound doctrine
the lamb beconres a sheep when it is
about a year old.
Sheep should not be compelled to
feed at the same rack with cattle.
They are liable to be hooked, and a
vicious ram sometimes does injury to
cattle. Separate yards and separate
racks are safest and best.
The pampered calf, brought up on
whole milk, is fat and sleek, but lacks
the bone and muscle at eight months
or a year old that are possessed by
calves reared on oatmeal and bran
mixed with skimmed milk.
Experiments in West Pennsylvania
and Ohio in crossing full-blood Oxford
Down bucks with a high grade of
Blacktop Merino ewes seems to promise
the best results in wool, lambs, mut-
ton and hardiness.
For early lambs ewes must be bred
September or October says an exchange,
and well fed, with good warm quarters
and good grass or rye pasture to keep
the lambs growing, as early lambs sell
in spring for goou prices and are always
in demand.
* Ifyou have a particular fine plant of
tomato which shows qualities ahead
of the rest, save the seed, but if you
have a green-house do not depend on
keeping it pure in this way, but late
in the month strike cuttings from it and
winter over in a cool green-house.
A hoe for use in the garden requires
as much care as a scythe that is used
for cutting grass. Iu should be sharp
enough to cut off the roots of
all kinds of weeds, and should
have so good a polish that it can
be moved throngh the soil with-
out much exhibition of strength.
The Ohio Farmer declares that “it is
a waste of cash produce to feed a calf
whole milk after its rennet stomach
changes so as to ball for solid food,and
it is a mistake to so feed it after itis
10 days old.” It considers warm
skimmed milk and a little oatmeal
much better.
Sheep like a sunny slope, where the
sun strikes the grass and develops its
nutritive qualities. If they have their
choice of feeding zround on a hill, they
will invariably spend the most of their
time on the sunny side. For some
reason the grass there is more palata-
ble to them.
It is the opinion of Professor Robert-
son that it pays to feed each cow two
to three pounds of wheat bran a day
throughout the whole summer season.
He would stir the bran into water and
give it asa drink a half hour or so be-
fore milking. The increased flow of
milk, he says is quite apparent.
By all means stack your straw. If
you do not need it you can sell it to
your neighbor. Ttis valuable for bed-
ding your stock, and will be a great
saving of hay if you keep it on hand at
yourstables. Besides this, it furnishes
nice bedding and some feed for your
stock that are not stabled.
Young ewes may be poor mothers.
It is better, therefore, to have them
drop their lambs a little later than the
older ewes do. The flockmaster will
have more time to give them attention
and the ‘weather will be warmer.
April or May is time enough for a
young ewe to drop her lamb.
Sugar beets, mangolls, ruta-bagas,
yellow turnips and white turnips, in
order named, are fed to sheep by those
who have studied the comparative
value of roots. Of these the sugar
beet contains the most fat-forming ele
ments, and the mangolds and ruta-
bagas the most flesh-forming elements.
If you do not get good results from
feeding wheat bran, consider whether
vou are feeding enough meal with it.
Bran alone will increase the flow of
milk, but has a tendency to whiten the
butter. Corn meal mixed with it
makes the ration more carbonaceous
and heating, and gives color to the
butter.
History is repeating its lf, says the
Pittsburg Stockman. It has been only
a few years since many farmers in the
sheep-growing States, and especially
in Pennsylvania, were offering their
flocks at 50 cents per head and less.
Some of these men are now hunting
for stock sheep at $3 and $4 per head,
and procuring them with difficulty.
A small ew with the richt kind of
machinery in her, writes a correspon:
dent of the Rural New Yorker, can get
all the milk solids out of a given
amount of feed az well as a big cow.
But if you have good, big cows and
they ive vou a fair profit, keep them,
but breed them to the smallest dairy
hull you can find, and if the result is a
more concentrated cow, I think von
are the gainer. :
It the number of good cows in the
country is to be kept up somebody
must rear the heifer calves, [tis the
duty of every dairvinan who has first-
class cows to nse the best dairy blood
he can get in his herd and rear the
heifer calves from them. In this way
only can the quality of the dairy herds
of the country be kept up and possibly
some improvements be made. By do-
ing this the dairvman has a chance to
select the best for his own use.
Although milk is on an average
about 87} per cent. water, it really
does not satisfy thirst when used as a
drink. It may at first seem to be satis-
factory, but as the milk coagulates
and digestion begins, the heat of the
stomach is raised and a feverish thirst
comes on. Professor Johnson says the
temperature in the calf’s stomach of
ten rises to 104 degrees. The young
of all animal, as well as children, crave
pure cold water. It will often stop
the crying of a child.
A Great Liar, but a Great Man.
: From the Detroit Free Press.
In a stove store yesterday a man came
rushing in and said to the proprietor :
“Have you gone into lying fora
trade ?”’
#0h, no.”
“Well, you lied about that stove.”
“Man on his way up there now to put
it up. Rushed to death, you know.
Hope you haven’t suffered.”
The next caller was a woman, who
fastened a cold glare on the stove man
and deliberately said: :
“I'll never do a cent’s worth of busi-
ness with you again if I live here fifty
years,”
“Stovepipe is on the wagon there and
ready to go up, ma'am. Woke up in
the night to hope you wouldn't be put
out.”
The third caller was a boy, who stood
in the door and called.
“Hey, you! My father says he'd like
to knock your head off.”
“Oh, yes, you are Mr. Blank’s son.
Just sent a man up to your house with
that damper ten minutes ago. Lost the
sule of a stove to hurry him off.”
“Are those fair samples of your call-
ere?’ was asked the dealer.
¢ Just about. I catch itabout twenty
times a day at this season of the year.”
“And you never talk back ?”’
“Never. I hustle anddo the best I
can, and if a kicker comes in I hold my
peace or talk taffy. One word back
talk would lose their trade. Everybody
waits till the last minute for a stove or
repairs, and then everybody comes with
a rush. There comesa woman to blow
me up about fixing a ddor to a stove.
That door has been broken for five years,
but it’s only within the past week that
she has decided to have it fixed. She'll
be savage but I'll mollify her some way
and get that stove down by Monday. So
long—1ay busy day.”
——A new idea embraced in Ely’s
Cream Balm. Catarrh is cured by
cleansing and healing, not by drying up.
It is not a liquid or snuff, but is easily
applied into the nostrils. Its effect is
magical and a thorough treutment will
cure the worst cases. Price 50c.
The hoosier is no longer the pic-
turesque creature he was years ago.

Ready-made clothing has penetrated to

swing of his arms. As to the young.
woman from the small towns, they can
only be identified by their fresh bloom-
ing complexions and bright eyes. In
the matter of styles, they are fully up to
their sisters of the large cities; in fact,
the belles of small towns are often. fa-
miliar with New York fashions long be-
fore they become general in St. Louis;
this being due to the fact that the town
dressmaker closely follows the plates in
the fashion paper as soon as novelties
are pesented. —Henry Arnheim, in St.
Lows Globe-Democrat.
——DMus. Jones, how is your health
this morning? Thank you, madam,
much improved. I bought a bottle of
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup last night, and
after the first dose, my cough was check-
ed, I slept well, and have not coughed
once this morning.
ONE man can build an eight
wheel passenger locomotive for a stand-
ard gauge railroad in 1,500 days. It will
require 1,650 days’ work for him to
build a consolidrated ten wheel locomo-
tive for a standard gauge. The average
cost of the required labor would be
$4,635, and tbe cost of the necessary
metal is usually estimated at about
$2,000. The profit may be put down
at another $2,000, which would include
the expenses of sale and delivery. This
would make an engine, when absolutely
ready for service and complete in every
way, worth about $9,635.
A cure or no pay is what the pro-
prietors of Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery guarantee to those who use

at the lion, wheel barrow fashion, the bewild-
erec nigger instinetively putting one hand be-
fore the other before he knew what he was
about. This brought us within a spring of the
lion. I hurled his legs forward over his head
with such force that when they struck the
