Farm Notes.
Too much water in the soil will pre-
vent cultivation. Now is the time to
ditch, while the ground is soft.
Peach pits may be buried 1n a shal-
low trench. The frost will reach them
early enough to cause them to crack.
Ducks should begin to lay this
month. Give them a warm, dry place
at night, well littered with leaves or
cut straw.
Keep the barnyard well supplied
with material for absorbing the liquids,
thereby rendering the yards dry and
comfortable.
Chop up the corn stalks and put
them in the manure heap. If cut and
crushed they may be used as absorbents
in the pig-pens.
Early in the spring a top-dressing ot
100 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre
on wheat will make it grow rapidly and
yield better grain.
Spinach that came up from seed last
fall will make some growth during the
mild weather, which may be prevented
by mulching the seed.
Ifrye has grown more than usual
graize it down with the stock. It serves
as a change of green food, and, as it is
not advisable to have rye make more
growth than the cattle can prevent,
the rye will be benefited.
It may save labor to allow the cattle
to haye free access to the straw stack,
but it may be more profitable to cut
thestraw and feed it with the hay. If
vou have more hay than you can use
procure more stock, so as to feed the
hay on the farm.
The mild weather is of advantage to
farmers in reducing the amount ot food
necessary for stock. Young stock
should thrive and grow and adult ani-
mals should fatten very readily. The
regularity of feeding and care of the
stock should not, however, be in any
manner neglected.
Tt is more important to mulch the
strawberry bed in a mild winter sea-
son than during severe cold weather,
as the ground is subject to more fre-
quent freezing and thawing. A mulch
does not keep plants warm, but assists
in keeping them at an even tempera-
ture, rendering them less liable to
changes,
The cattle, hors2, sheep and swine
raiser are unanimous in the essertion
that warmth is one of the essentials to
successful stock raising in winter. The
same is equally true with poultry; in
fact, it is one of the branches of stock
raising, and their comfort should be
looked after and gnarded as carefully
as that of the larger and more costly
animals. There 1s money in a com-
fortable poultry-house.
The estimates of the Bureau of Sta-
tistics place the value of the poultry
products of last vear at $200,000,000.
With this enormous value of products
there were £2,500,000 worth of eggs
imported, and for the last four years
this sum represents about the average
value of the imports, which ranged in
price from 13 to 15 cents per dozen.
These figures would seem to show to a
thinking mind that there is yet a
chance for ambitious poultrymen to
indulge their tastes at a profit.
G. Q. Dow, in the Orange County
Farmer, says, speaking of strawberries:
“Pistillate varieties invariably give us
the largest fruit, the largest quantity
and I think the best. But we cannot
confine ourselves to them alone. We
must have a few staminate varieties to
fertilize the others. The best varieties
to-day arepistillate. Ifyou only want
to set out. one kind and want that to
be the best general used strawberry,
select the Bubach No. 5 first, then the
Warfield, Cloud and Haverland.”
Professor David O'Brine, of the Colo-
rado Agricultural Experiment Station,
in a recently issued bulletin gives an
exhaustive treatise on soils from a
chemist’s standpoint. Discussing phys-
ical properties he says: “The color
of its so1l depends exclusively on its
composition ; humus forming a nearly
black soil, while saad gives a light
yellow, and iron oxide produces a red
color. The darker soils, other things
being equal, have the highest absorp
tive power toward solar heat; this is
shown when muck is applied to the
surface of snow in the spring.”
A dainty appetite is usnally the best
evidence of overfeeding, There is a
limit to the capacity of an animal to
appropriate food, and profitable feeding
must be kept just inside that limit.
This point differs in animals, and can
only be learned by careful study of
each individual. Indigestion, the re-
sult of overfeeding, sometimes takes
the form of looseness, and this calls for
caution and change of feed and. a re-
duction of quantity. With grain, green
food of some kind is needed, and with
early pasture-ground, oats or bran can
always be profitably fed, particularly to
dairy cows, the prevailing opinion to
the contrary notwithstanding.
‘Eve-witnesses say threé men
How did it come to pass that all |
men must sit on the right side of the
cow to milk. It has been suggested
that the hind sections of the udder eon-
y TOW,
tain nearly as much milk again as the |
front sections, and as the man is much |
stronger in his right hand than his left, |
he should sit at the cow with his right
hand next to these large sections.
This looks like sense, and if we were
Jjuststarting into the milking question
there might be some heed given to this
arran rement; but as it 1s, the practice
of locating the milker on the starboard
side of the cow has come .to stay, and
it would take something much strong
er than a logical argument to dislodge
the milkers of the country and unlears
the cows that have become accustom:
ed to be milked from this side.

Tragedy In A Court House.
A terriable tragedy was enacted in the
Court House at Galveston, Texes, in
which Kyle Terry, nephew of the late
Judge David terry, was instantly
killed and two men badly wounded.
The killing was the outcome of the
Fort Bend troubles, which resulted
some time ago in such a bloody battie
between the citizens of Richmond.
Some months ago Terry, who was
tax assessor of Fort Bend county and a
member of what is known as the
Woodpec er party, had a difficulty with
the three Gibson boys, all members of
the Jayhird party. Five weeks later
Terry met one of the Gibson brothers
in Wharton and killed him.
This morning Kyle Terry, his bro-
ther, Captain David Terry, of Califor-
nia; Judge Parker, Judge Weston,
Dr, Gale and some others entered . the
front door ofthe Court House. Terry
turned to the left towards the stairway
and had just reached the second step
when the first shot was fired. Tt
struck him under the right arm and
came out of the left breast and literally
tore his heart to piecss.
There was a moment's lull and them
four or five shots were fired from
different directions. One passed
through the arm of Judge Weston, of
Fort Bend county, another through
the leg of Henry Pittle, a Galvestonian.

Some Facts About “Relics.”
Charley Howard was talking to Burke,
the old book store man a tew
evenings ago, when a stranger fresh
from New Orleans slipped up, saying to
Mr. Burke:
“What will you give for a big lock of
Jett Davis's hair?”
“Ah, T have plenty of it,” answered
Mr. Burke. “Quite a quantity.’
Then as the stranger walked away
surprised that any one should have the
trensure he thought so valuable, Mr.
Burke said :
“The truth is I have anything a
who died"
The principal one was |
relic-hunter wants. I have hair from
the nead of many distinguished men,
dead or alive. Maybe you wouldn't
believe it, but one-quarter the money I
put into my house came from the sale
of hair on George Washington's head.
“Do you know,” Mr. Burke went
on, “that the relic-hunter is the big-
gest fool on earth. Any relic he may
want has no value. It is simply a
question o# how rauch he is able to pay.
I can always size a man up as he
comes in, and am therefore able to
hit him just right.
“Take a battlefield relic,” said Mr.
Burke, after a pause. “I go home,
say, and get my wife to mark a half-
dozen pieces of ribbon as I want it.
Then I pound two bullets together
and fasten to the ribbon. They are
bullets, yeu know, which met in mid-
air on the Kinnesaw field. I put
one in the showcase with the card,
and the others in a drawer. A relic-hunt-
er buys the only one, but as soon as
he is gonethedrawer is opened and an-
other takes its place. They cost about
a dime and bring in five.”—Atlanta
