Farm N otes.
Spent tan bark is used with satis-
faction for mulching fall settings of cur-
rants, grapes and other small fruits.
If vou want rhubarb pies early next
spring, work manure from the pig-pen
into the soil about the plants this fall.
There are two things that are worth
more than they cost—order and clean-
liness about the barns and over the
farm.
A small farm may be. made larger
without extending is area, by deepen:
ing and enriching the soil and more
thorough cultivation.
It there is sarplus grain or hay it
may pay to buy very poor stock to
fatten, but the stock on the farm should
never be allowed to fall off in condition.
It costs a good bit to keep lice, and
they are mighty unprofitable sfock.
See that vour animals are free from
them. They feed on the animals, and
the animals either lose flesh or use up
extra food atyour expense.
When a limb is cut from a tree it
should be cut as close as possibleto the
body. The cut should be a smooth
one, without bruising the bark, and
the ent surtace should be covered with
some kind of cheap paint mixed with
oil.
Six thousand ducks are annually
marketed from the farm of a promin-
ent unostentatious farmer in Massachu-
setts, who comprehends the idea of
handling his stock in such a way as to
yield him a return quick, with little
expense for keeping.
Upward ventilatior, or ventilation at
the top of the hive, is said to be aban-
doned by the largest keepers, especial-
ly for out-door wintering. Plenty of
bottom ventilation for out-door and
cellar wintering is considered safficient.
It is a curious fact, so announced,
that if cider is scalded to125 or 130 de-
grees, it will not make vinegar, as this
heat destroys the bacteria that form
vinegar. This same temperature de-
stroys the bacteria in the silo, and this
is perhaps the explanation why it re-
mains comparatively sweet.
Banking the earth around fruit trees
will serve to protect the roots and” also
to cause the water to tlow away from
the trees, thereby preventing pools
from forming around the tree. The
ground being kept dry, trees will en-
dure the cold better.
The Ohio Experiment Station reach-
es the conclusion, after several trials,
that corn ensilage is superior to field
beets as a flesh and fat former, but that
the beets are preferable for milk pro-
duction. The dry solids of both com-
pare favorably with those of the bet-
ter grades of other kinds of food.
The Farm Journal insists that calves,
colts and all young animals should be
treated so that they will come to you as
to a friend. If you feel you must kick
something, let it be a stone wall or a
log, or something that will not suffer.
A few experiments in this line may
cure you of the habit of feeling ugly.
Toard's Dairyman says that ton for
ton, many farmers are finding out that
unthrashed oats cut when itis in the
soft dough state, cut fine with a straw
cutter, is better than meadow hay—cut
equally fine to feed cattle, especially
milch cows. As a rule, good tarmers
raise far more weight of oats to the
acre than hay.
There was on exhibition at several of
the fairs this year a Clydesdale horse,
5 years old, that weighs nearly 3000
pounds, and is 20% hands high, 32inch-
es round his arm, 25 inches round his
stifle, 7 feet 11 inches in girth, 34% in-
ches around the hip, and 11 feet 4 inch-
es in length. His head is 36 inches
long, and he wears shoes that weigh
32 pounds.
The form and height of the fence en-
closing the poultry yard should vary
according to the variety kept. A
fence for a lot of active leghorns
would be worthless if built five feet
high,such as you would use tor Cochins
and Brabmas. Wire netting stretched
neatly from posts eight or ten feet apart
to the height of eight feet will usually
meet all requirements.
The stalks of old asparagus beds
should be burned, and a godd dressing
of manure spread over the ground.
Young plants may be set out now as
well as at any other time when
the ground is in good condition.
In heavy wet soil it is best to plant in
spring. Ay good, rich garden soil is
suitable for asparagus; newly ‘set
plants should be lightly covered during
winter.
In aneighborhood where the dairies
are small and the people do not un-
derstand making butter,a creamery is a
great advantage by improvingthe qual
ity of the butter, increasing the receipts
of the farmer and educating the people
in the art of taking care of milk and
cream. They will also “catch on” to
the art of making good butter. The
creamery is an educational institution
as well as a business institution.
According to Sir J. B. Lawes, an
acre of barley absorbs 547 tons of wa-
ter in. a day ! This appears enormous.
Bat if we could seethe amount of mois-
ture that daily aad hourly rises from the
field and forest, it would astonish us
until we got farmliar with it. The
water is thrown from the treeand plant,
but the fertilizing waterial which it
held in solution remains to nourish
them and promote their growth.
The newly introduced vees, the Car
niolans, seem to be growing in popular
favor. An old beekeeper, who has
tried all kinds of bees, has tried the Car
niolans for two seasons and he says he
finds them always ahead with a nice
crop of surplus honey. Ie says in
Gleanings: 1 find them peaceable, in-
dustrious and very prolific; they gather
but little propolis, and, so far as my
experience goes, they winter better than
the Itanians.”

— The first white settler in the city
of St. Paul came in the year 1832. To-
day the population of the eapital of
Minnesota is 200,000. The first log ca-
bin was erected in 1838; to-day the
city boasts of some of the finest busi-
ness and residence buildings on the
American continent. The town site
was located in 1847; the capite¥ in
1851. The first survey of the city was
made in 1851; the Chamber of Com-
merce organized in 1847. The original
St. Paul was plotted in 1847, contain-
ed about 80 aces. The present ares: of
the city contains 35,472 acres.

Josekh Jefferson.
“The Century May ezine in 1890--Joseph
Jefferson's Autobiography—Novels
by Frank R. Stockton, Amelia
E. Barr, and others—A4
Capital Programme.
During 1800 The Century Magazine (whose
recent siccesses have included the famous
“War Papers,” the Lincoln History and George
Kennan's series on “Siberia and the exile Sys-
tem”) will publish the long looked for Autobio-
graphy of Joseph Jefferson, whose “Rip van
Winkle” has made his name a household
word. No more interesting record of a life
upon the stage could be laid before the public.
Mr Jefferson is the fourth in a generation of
actors, and, with his children and grandchil-
dren, there are six generations of actors
among the Jeffersons. His story of the early
days of the American stage, wher, as a boy,
traveling in his father’s company, they would
settle down for a season in a Western town,
playing in their own extemporized theatre,—
the particulars of the ereation of his famous
“Rip van Winkle,” how he acted “Ticket-of-
Leave Man” hefore an audience of that class in
Australia, ete.,—all this, enriched with illustra-
tions and portraits of contemporary actors and
actresses, and with anecdotes, will form one of
the most delightful serials The Century has
ever printed.
Amelia BE. Barr, Frank R. Stockton, Mark
Twain, H. H. Boyesen, and many other well-
known writers will furnish the fiction for the
new volume, which is to be unusually strong,
including several novels, illustrated novelet-
tes, short stories. “The Women of the French
Salons” are (o be described in a brilliant series
of illustrated papers. The important discover-
ies made with the great Lick Telescope at
San Francisco (the largest telescope in the
world) and the atest explorations relating to
prehistoric America (including the famous Ser-
pent Mound, of Ohio) are to be ehronicled in
The Cenlury.
Prof. George P. Fisher of Yale University is
to write a series on “The Natare and Method
of Revelation,” which will attract every Bible
stuaent. Bishop Potter of New York will be
one of several prominent writers who are to
contribute a series of “Present day-Papers” on
living topics. There will be art papers, timely
articles, etc. and the choicest pictures that
the greates artists and engravers can produce.
Every bookseller, postmaster, and subserip-
tion agent takes subscriptions to The Century
($4 00 a year), or remittance may be made di-
rectly to the publishers, The Century Co., of
New York. Begin new subscriptions with
November (the first issue of the volume) and

kee in King Arthur's Court, in that number.

ST. NICHOLAS.
THE CENTURY COS MAGAZINE FOR
YOUNG FOLK. —ENLARGED AND
PRINTED IN NEW TYPE.
Since 1873, when, under the editorial man-
agement of Mrs Mary Mapse Dodge, the pub-
lication of St Nicholas for Young Folks was be-
oun, it has led all magazines for girlsand boys.
Nothing like it was known before, and to-day,
as the Chicago Inter-Ocean recently said, “it is
the model and idol juvenile magazine of the
world.” Through its pages the greatest writers
of our time are speakingto the yonth of Ameri-
ca and England, and the best artists and en-
gravers are training the eyes of the boys and
girls toappreciate the highest in art. Nobody
knows how many readers St. Nicholas has.
In the third largest public library in America,-
that in Indianapolis,—more than 3000 people
read each month’s number.
Since the first issue Mrs. Dodge has remain-
ed as editor. Early in its history other young
people’s magazines, “Our Young Folks, “The
Littie Corporal,” “Riverside,” ete. were con-
<olidated with it,and its history hasbeen one of
growth from the first. Tennyson, Bryant,
Longfellow, Whittier, Miss Alcott, Mrs. Bur-
nett, Charles Dudley Warner, W. D. Howells,
and almost every well-known writer of our
time have contributed to its pages. There is
only one way in which its conductors ean make
it better, and that is by making more of it, and
so they announce that with the beginning of
the seventeenth volume (November, 1880) St.
Nicholas will be enlarged by the addition of
required to make room for the rich store of
benefit of SIL Nicholas readers, The use of
new clearer type will be begun with the No-

about. This brought us within aspring of the
lion. I hurled his legs forward over his head
with such force that when they struck the
ground his body rose and he described a con-
vulsive somersault. This carried him two
lengths ahead of me—into the very jaws of the
lion, if the latter had stayed.”

Balloons, Geysers, etc., all over the world, in
