Farm Notes.
Osage orange makes a poor hedge
unless carefully trimmed. Everything
depends on the management of the
hedge for the first three years. To
make a elose hedge the plants are bent
down (partially cut for that purpose)
and twisted or woven into the standing
plants close to the ground. These bent
branches send up sprouts that serve to
thicken the hedge at its base. A good
hedge should prevent a rabbit passing
through, and such a hedge can he
secured if properly trained and trimmed.
A breed canot well be tested by
selecting an individual of that breed to
compare with an individual of some
other breed, as all animals differ, no
two being alike in every respect. Only
a few cows in a herd may secure a
record yet the other members may be
as well bred as the better ones. But
each breed has its special character-
istics which make it valuable for the
purposes required, and the breed, as a
whole, will excel in that direc-
tion.
Mealy bug, which does so much
damage to house plants, and especially
to coleus,may be prevented or removed
by washing the plants once a week with
soapsuds, adding twenty drops of car-
bolic acid to half a pint of the soap-
suds. The thorough washing of all
house plants will benefit them, as dust
sometimes accumulates on the plants
and causes injury.
It has been demonstrated that the
disease known as yellows in peach trees
is not prevented by the useof fertilizers,
though trees not properly attended to
are more subject to the disease than
others. In many cases failure is as-
cribed to the yellows, when the real
cause of lack of thrift may be traced‘to
the borer.
Grow roots for your stock. Beets,
carrots and turnips are highly relished
by all animals in the winter as an
agreeable change from the dry food.
Put in your beets and carrots early.
Tuarnips go in later in the season,
but the manure may be spread on the
plot at any time during the spring.
The Dorset sheep bear lambs twice a
year, and twins are frequent. They are
the most prolific of all breeds. Wheth-
er they are the equals of some of the
other breeds so far as mutton and wool
are concerned, is to be determined.
Breeders are giving them their attention,
however.
Early varieties will not produce
early crops unless the ground is rich.
Everything that can be done to force
the growth should be considered, and
as soon as the early crops are harvest-
ed the ground should be spaded and
something else planted for a later sup-
ply.
Much is gained by planting beet
seed very early. It is a crop that
requires plenty of time to become well
established before warm weather and
drought come. Though requiring
attention at first, the beet crop is easily
cultivated after it gets well under
way.
The brood sow that has weaned her
pigs will do well on grass alone. If
compelled to work for her food she will
be in better condition for breeding pur-
poses that when heavily fed and made
fat. Too much fat 1s detrimental to all
breeding stock.
One element only may be required to
form a complete fertilizer in the soil.
The soil may contain all thatit re-
quires with the exception of some sub-
stance that may be supplied at a small
cost, and which may enable it to pro-
duce large crops.
Hard, lumpy poultry manure will
not easily dissolve, there being a large
proportion of silicate of lime in the
lumps. The best mode of keeping
poultry manure 18 to add it to the ma-
nureheap in the barn-yard.
The value of the corn crop does not
depend upon its grain only. The leaves
and ztalks are valuable, and no por-
tion of the crop need be lost. As a
fodder-producing
equal.
If the plow cannot get sufficiently
close to the trunks of trees to turn
over the sod, chop around the trees
with a hoe. The orchardland should
be clean if insects are to be avoided.
A row of raspberries along the line
of afield, or as a dividing line, instea :
of a fence, will give a plentiful supply,
and can be easily cultivated, but such
a fence will not turn stock.
If the heavy rains have hardened the
surface of the recently plowed ground
go over the field with a cultivator, and’
follow with the harrow before laying
off the corn rows. :
Ifa hen will leave her nest when
any one approaches she should not be
used for setting purposes. She will
generally prove an unsteady sitter and |
breaker of eggs.
Stock should be fed according to age
and condition. A young and growing
animal requires a different ration from
a mature fat one.
Many people are prevented from
raising asparagus by an exaggerated
notion of the labor involved. Its re.
quirements are simple,
Two varieties of squash cannot be
grown near each other without danger
of mixing. The same rule applies to
corn.
A pound »f spring lamb i« now
worth about as much as a pound of
wool.
Sow blue grass and white cloverseed
on the bare piaces of the lawn.
Nothing is gained by putting
tender early plants out too soon.
the
plant corn has no.
Curious and Ghastly.
A unique piece of handiwork has just
been completed by Mrs. Sophia Lara-
more, of Waterberry, Conn., who is now
approaching her seventieth year. Tt
is a mortuary wreath in memory of her
husband, who was dead nearly five
years before the curious symbol was be-
gun. She made it of relics of her late
husband and of articles which were the
property of the wives who preceded
her. The frame is of pntty, into which,
while soft, the widow placed, among
others, the following articles. In the
center of the top cross piece are the
speetacles of her late lamented and a
small vial containing the pills which
were left over from his last illness. DBe-
sides these, there are many small stones
which he had treasured during life, his
jack knife, a piece of candy which she
says he had left uneaten, buttons of all
kinds from his clothing, and asmall hot-
tle containing cheese made by his first
wife. All of this collection is labeled,
as, for instance. “The smelling bottle
used by the wife before me.” Inclosed
in the frame is a picture of him whose
memory the wreath is supposed to per-
petuate. The wreath above the portrait
is composed almost entirely of flowers
and leaves, each of these made either of
some portion of his coat, waistcoat,
trousers, neckties, or suspenders, and
worked together artistically. The shirt
in which he died 1s honored by having
made from it a showy bird, too wonder-
ful and strange for description. Just
outside the wreath are placed suspender
buckles and watch chains entwined with
the hair of the mother of his first wife.
Some of the hair from his own head has
been made into tendrils and the stamen
of one of the flowers is of the material
that lined his coffin. On anotber side of
the wreath is a bunch of raisins he
bought her the winter before he died,
saying: “Now, don’t cook any of these,
but eat every one.” Balancing the rai-
sins are three wires, each supporting
one of his teeth, and behind them
is the last toothpick he ever used.
Well Preserved Old Folks.
A newspaper man of Farmington,
Me., visited a remarkable family the
other day. Calling at the home of
Jonathan Scott Ellis, he found Mr.
Fllis, who is 96 years old, seated by the
stove and reading a newspaper without
glasses. His wife's sister Miss Lydia
Ballard, who will be 97 years old in
April, was seated in a rocking chair near
by and knitting vigorously. Another
sister-in-law, Miss Hannah Ballard, 84
years old next October, was cleaning up
vhe dinner table and washing the dishes.
Mrs. Ellis died three years ago at the
age of 88. The old folks prefer to live
by themselves and do all their own
work, and Father Ellis yet refers to his
sisters-in-laws as ‘‘the girls.”
ProriTaBLE INsANITY.—M. De Riot,
the owner of the big store called the
Louvre, in Paris, was sent to the insane
asylum by his relations because he in-
sisted upon giving $1,000,000, which he
could readily afford to lose, to founding
an orphanage for soldiers’ children.
The local authorities finally ordered
thathe should be removed from a private
asylum and placed in a public one, and
it was quickly found that he was not in-
sane at all. For 13 months’ treatment,
Lin the private asylum doctors demand
$22,500, the local doctors want $20,000,
three medical students who helped find
him crazy, $13,500, the keepers $5,000.
It is no wonder they wanted to keep
him insane at that rate.
A WONDERFUL GREASE FOR Boots.
—Dr. Alexander Zoroastr ff recom§
mends to military men, sportsmen, etc.,
a grease for boots, which is said to com-
pletely prevent sore feet and a whole
train of familiar afflictions. The oint-
ment is made of four parts of lard, four
parts of olive oil and one part of caout-
chouc (raw rubber,) which are melted
together on a slow fire. Having moist-
ened the sole of the boot with water, the
inventor warms the boot ina stove or
before fire, and then smears it over with
the compound. The boot is said to be-
come soft, pliable and waterproof, and
even more durable,

T° THE HUNGRY PUBLIC.
It is only those who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
‘stence, that we address.
Those who use no-
thing,—who think they
need nothing,—who live
on expectation, hope or
some intangible nothing,
will save time by passing
this column by. It isnot
intended for’ them but the
other fellows. We write
what is here put down for
the people who are mortal
enough to get hungry,and
in consequence of getting
hungry are sensible enough
to try to get what is good,
pure, wholesome and nec-
essary, at prices that don’t
require them to lay out all
that they earn, to appease
their appetites. We have
been in the hunger,appeas-
ing business for many,
many years. We know
what men want, we know
what women and children
desire, and we know how
much better and how much
more pleasant it is to re-
side in a community where
people enjoy good health,
than among dyspeptic com-
plainers, growlers and suf-
ferers. To have healthy
people pure food must be
used. We understand this,
and understanding it, keep
nothing but the purest of
everything} that can be
found in the market. To
satisfy the demands of the
many different stomachs
that we try to gratify, re-
quires a vast variety of
dainties, condiments and
relishes, as well as the sub-
stantials; and knowing this
there is nothing that is eat-
able, relishable or appetiz-
ing, that we do not keep.
1t is for you who want, or
use anything eatable, eith-
er as meats, fish, groceries,
fruits, nuts, relishes, or in
fact anything from a piece
of chewing gum to a first
class beef steak, that we
write and pay the printer
to print this invitation "for
you to come and see us.
Ifyou live in town drop
in and see what all we have
and what quality of goods
we carry.
If you live in the country

come to town and learn how
easy it is to get good, pure,

strengthless articles of diet.
