Farm Notes.
Fat hens that do not lay will not pro-
duce many eggs after they reach such
condition. Fat is detrimental to egg
production. Such hensshould be mar-
keted.
The cabbage delights in haying the
soil stirred, The plants grow rapidly
when the hoe or cultivator is frequent-
ly used. Not only should they be well
cultivated but should have an abun-
dance of manure.
For vegetables the soil should be
loose and rich. - All kinds of vegeta-
bles thrive well with the surface kept
clean and the top soil fine. When the
surface is baked hard the plants derive
Tess moistnre.
Too much work over too much
ground 1s sure to result in the produc-
tion of the crop at the greatest cost.
It is the labor that is applied at the
proper time, and on an area sufficient
only for the purpose, that pays.
The second planting of peas may be
made as soon as the first lot are up
through the ground if the dwart varie-
ties are used, as but one or two pick-
ings are usually secured from early
peas. Plant them so as to have a suc-
cession,
With early lambs now selling at $6
each, and early chickens at 40 cents
per pound, the farmer should learn a
leason. Itisthe reaching of the mar-
kets at the proper time that gives the
advantage and makes the difference in
the profit.
Do not be in a hurry to have your
sheep care for themselves in the fields,
but keep up a little winter feeding and
give them abundant shelter—especial-
ly at night, until the weather gets warm
and the grass gets started.
Sow radishes at intervals of a week
or ten days. The best radishes are
those that grow quickly, which ren-
ders them crisp aud tender. If they
remain in the ground too long they be:
come tough. To have them crisp make
the plot rich and sow seed often.
1t is remarkable what a large supply
of berries twenty raspberry plants will
provide when in full-bearing condition
if well manured and cared for. A
small number in a row along the line
fence will take up but little space and
provide amply tor a small family.
John Harmon, Deerfield, Oneida
county,N. Y.,says he has a cow which
in ten months, from March 10, 1889,
to January, 1890, furnished 340 pounds
of butter, besides what milk and
cream were used in a family of four.
She was “acommon cow.” We think
she must have been an uncommon
cow.
A young peach orchard of a few
trees may be used as a garden with ad-
vantage. The manuring of the vege-
tables will benefit the trees, and as
clean culdivation will also be required
the weeds and grass will not have an
opportunity to injure the trees. Peach
trees thrive best when well cultivated.
Alfalfa is being given a trial in the
East this season. In New Jersey there
are quite a number of patches of it by
way of experiment. The seed has ger-
minated evenly, and the prospect looks
favorable, but it is as yet too soon to
arrive at a conclusion regarding its ex-
cellence as a substitute for red clover.
Warm the cream up to 66 or 68 de-
grees and add asjmuch water as cream.
Warm the cream with water, tempera-
ture 110 degrees. Stir the cream live
ly when the water is put in. When
cream is cold the butter globules con-
not unite. They will not stick togeth-
er, nor can they unite when the cream
is too thick. Do you see?
While skim-milk and whey make
excellent hog feed, they yield better re-
turns fed in summer than in winter.
By planning to raise winter calves
gome farmers feed in the summer pigs
to sell at eight months old, and then,
in the place of raising fall pigs to eat
winter slops, feed the slops to calves
with greater profit.
It pays to feed meal to cows giving
milk, and if a cow insists on having it
every time, she does a good turn by
forcing us tobe regular. Of all losses
incurred by American farmers, scarce-
ly any one is greater than that which
comes from allowing cows to fail in
in their milk for want of sufficient food
of a kind that answers their require
ments.
If farmers would take one good
breed of fowls and carefully study
their characteristics they would make
double the profit than if theylkeep try-
ing to originate some new breed. It
sounds nice to hear yourself spoken
of as the originator of some new and
valuable breed, but very few ever suc-
ceed in starting a variety of fowls that
ever amount to anything.
New varieties are often sold because
they are “novelties” rather than the
old tried and standard kinds. It is bet-
ter to ns» varieties of trees and vari-
eties of vegetables thet are known to
be the best for the section where they
have been tested, in preference to using
others until experience gives an oppor:
tunity to know more of the newer vari-
eties. Novelties should be tested in a
limited way.
An excellent mode of planting car-
rot and parsnip seed is to drop the seed
in small quantities six inches apart in
the rows, instead of scattering the seed
in the row. By this method the plants
will come up in stools, and can be
thinned ont if they come up too thick,
whereasif the seed isscattered the plants
may come up straggling, as the seed
does not germinate very easily under
adverse conditions. Extra plants taken
from tie rows may be planted else
where.
Brean! Breap! Tar CRY FoR
BreAD !—A million loaves, not enough
for one city ! Five millions, not enough
for one State ! Fifty millions, notenough
for this country a single day, yet often
what sour, sog ry stud it is; nevertheless
it is eaten, and the result is dyspepsia,
biliousness, sick headache, impoverished
blood, pimples, blotches and scrofula.
For the correction ofall this, and as a
general tonic for the system, take Gold-
en Medical Discovery prepared by Dr.
Pierce, of Buffalo. Its action is like a
charm, a “benediction that follows after
prayer.” A remedy for stomach and
liver troubles, as well as a specific for
throat and lung disorders. It is guaran-
teed to benefit or cure, or money re-
funded.

A CHANGE oF Room.—“You will
have to give me another room, I guess,”
said a Congressman to the hotel clerk.
“What's the matter ? aren’t you com-
fortable where you are?
“Well, not exactly. That German
musician in the next room and I don’t
get along well. Last night he tooted
away on his clarionet so that I thought
I never would get to sleep. After I
had caught a few winks I was awakened
by a pounding on my door. ‘What's
the matter 2 I asked. ‘Of you blease,’
said the German, ‘dot you vould schnore
on the same key. You vas golfrom B

MapE Him A Maniac.— “Where are
you going, my pretty maid ?”’ he in-
uired.
“Should the weather indizations con-
tinue of an auspicious character, my in
tended destination is yonder inclosure,
where my unswervable determination is
to extract such an amount of lacteal
fluid from the distended udder of the
gently articulating kine as may be
deemed necessary and advisable,” calm-
ly replied the rustic girl, who had work-
ed for two weeks in a Boston family.
And she passed upon her way, leav-
ing a gibbering idiot, groveling upon the
ground where lately had stood a:dandy
drummer.
CH TRAIT
For NEURALGIA— When one is suf-
fering from neuralgia in the head, put
him in a warm bed. Make a brick
very hot and cover it with several thick-
nesses of flannel. Fold a coarse, thick
cloth and place it on a pillow. Lay the
brick on this and wet thoroughly with
rum. Rest the most painful part of the
head or face on the brick and throw a
blanket over the patient, covering the
head. Keep covered in this way until
the pain ceases. When the blanket is
removed, wipe the moisture from the
head, face and neck, and then bathe in
alcohol or rum to prevent taking cold.—
Housewife.

— The Russian Government is said
to be “disagreeably impressed’ by the
meetings in this country and England to
protest against the Siberian horrors. It
is a great pity, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, that this impression could
not be made stronger, as the Cossack
that underlies the surface polish of the
Russian needs thorough rousing before
he can be made to conform to civilized
customs.

——A Chinese mandarin can order a
man’s head to be cut off at any moment.
But within three months he must for-
ward to the Emperor an affidavit from
two persons declaring that the execution
was in the interest of religion and mor-
als. He has no difficulty in getting
such affidavits, as he can cut the head
of any who refuse to make them.

It is only those who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
istence, 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 aye mortal
enough to get hungry,and
in consequence of getting
hungry are sensible enough
to try to get what is good,
pure, wholesome and nee-
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
