Farm Notes.
The better the quality of the manure
the less cost of handling it. Bulk does
not give quality, and this is especially
the case with manure. To haul and
handle great quantities of unrotted,
coaree, bulky material coststhe labor of
both men and teams. It is claimed
that a ton of ordinary stable manure
contains only twenty-five pounds of fer-
tilizer in its concentrated form, and it
is as expensive to handle this twenty-
five pounds as it is to handle maaure
twice as valuable.
When the farmer churns his milk
and sells butter he does not deprive bi |
soil of fertility. The buttermilk way
be fed to swine and poultry with rofit,
but when meat and eggs are sold the
fertility of thethe soil goes also. Noth-
ing robs the soil faster than selling
milk, and unless the farmer procures
fertilizers or buys a large proportion of
bran and linseed meal his farm will de-
terrioate in quality.
To geta full crop of potatoes use
plenty of manure or fertilizer. If ma-
nure, let it be fine and well rotted and
applied liberally in rows. If fertilizer
be used it should be applied in quan-
tity to push the plants vigorously and
+0 enable the crop to produc: as much
as possible. It does not pay to be too
economical in the use of manure or fer-
tilizer.
Itany of our readers have a graft
they desire to bear early, if they will
bend it over and tie it fast to a branch
below it, or tie a weight to astring sus-
pended from it, the gradual bending of
the graft will check the growth of it
and cause it to put out fruit spurs, and
an early bearing will result. This plan
is only of value where we wantto quick
ly test new varieties, and is, ot course,
not intended for orchard use.
Bees; according to Professor A.J.
Cook, are fond of salt. They are often
seen hovering abouturinals. This is
sufficient hint tor the bee keeper to
keep a shallow dish of salt and water
where the bees can get access to it.
Probably clear sait put near them would
draw moisture enough during the day
in wet weather and dewy nights for all
practical purposes.
J.H. Hale,authority on such matters
says that the peach grub, commonly
called peach-borer, has been destroyed | Jf’
with caustic potash made into a strong
lye with the addition of lime and car-
bolic acid, to which a little arsenic is
added, and sometimes a little clay to
adhere it to the tree. The earth is
drawn away from the foot of the tree
and the mixture is applied with a swab:
Alfalfa grows rapidly and should be
cut as soon as the blue flowers appear.
It thrives better when cut, and becomes
thicker. It is fully the equal of red
clover for stock, and contains a larger
proportion of nutriment, Farmers
should put in an experimental plot as
soon as possible, in order to test it in
this section. :
It is a pleasure with those who live
on the suburbs of towns and cities to
keep a few hens. A small flock will
cost but little, as the scraps from the
table and any waste material, will _pro-
vide a large share of the food. Iu is
claimed that as many eggs are produc
ed in snburban sections as on the
farms.
If pullets for next year have not been
hatched it is time it should be done.
If the hens do not begin to sit until
Jate use eggs from the Leghorn breed,
as such pullets grow rapidly and ma-
ture before they are 6 months old. The
Leghorns are non-sitters, and lay more
eggs than many other breeds. :
While the weather is dry the roots
of plants will quickly dry if exposed.
It is best to pour a little water around
the roots of plants that are transplanted
as it will prevent many of them from
wilting. [ft the ground below the sur-
face is quite damp this precaution is
not necessary.
Do not plant corn on the same lands
that you grew a crop of corn upon last
year. -A rotation of crops is best.
When the location for corn is changed
every year there is less liability of at-
tack from rust, and the soil is not com-
lled to perform the same duty twice
1n succession.
Variation of the food promotes ap-
petite. All animals become disgusted
with a sameness of food. When food
is refused tempt the animal with some-
thing else. In this manner sickness
and loss of flesh may be avoided, while
the cost need not necessarily be in-
creased
A correspondent of the Mirror states
how to avoid rot and scab in potatoes:
“Roll the land, and when the potatoes
are four inches high sow on a mixture
of fifteen parts plaster, three paris slak-
ed lime and one part of salt.”
Dry soilsshould receive flat cultiva.
tion and damp soile should be ridged.
The object, inthe first place, 18 to save
asmuch of the moisture as possible,and
in the second, to get rid of the excess.
1f you cannot keep the number of
animals you have on your farm,do not
try to get more land, but sell off a por-
tion of the stock. Overcrowding is as
injurious as too much room.
Do not work the horses too steadily
at first. A horse that has stood in the
stabie all through the winter, doing
but little work, is in no condition for
doing a day’s labor.
The value of any kind of fodder is
not in its quantity, but in the amount
that is digestable. The quality
largely depends on the stage of growth
when it was cut and cured.
_ Now that the teams will be busy it
is important that the harness fits the
horse. Galls and sores on the horse
: rightly appreciate
may be avoided by giving some atten-
tion to the harness. |
To Tell the Day of the Week of Any Date.
Take the last two figures of the year,
add a quarter of this, disregarding the
fraction ; add the date of the month and
to this add the figura in the following
list, one figure standing for each month:
3-6-3-2-4-0-2-5-1-3-6-1, Divide the sum
by seven and the remainder will give
the number of the day in the week, and
when there is no remainder the day will
be Saturday.
As an example take March 19, 1890.
Take 90, add 22, add 19, add 6. This
gives 137, which divided by 7, leaves a
remainder of 4, which is the number of
the day, or Wednesday.— Providence

— No one can have a right appreci-
ation of duty who does not appreciate
his own individuality. For himself,
and by himself, a man must work his
own work. But neither can a man
his individuality and
his own work if he does not recognize his
relativity, For others, and with others,
a man must work the world’s work.
The past lives in us, the future must
live through us. Truly did Webster
say : “Those who do not look upon
themselves as a link connecting the past
with the future, do not perform their du-
ty to the world.” We can ignore neith-
er our ancestors nor our posterity with-
out ignoring ourselves.
EI
CourTEsY.—Courtesy is the unosten-
tatious giving of due deference and due
attention to others, He who would
seem truly courteous—and no one can
be truly courteous, without seeming to
be so--must show by his words and
acts, in all his intercourse with others,
that he is thinking of the one whom he
addresses rather than of himself ; that he
has more pleasure in hearing what that
person says to him, or in expressing his
recognition of that person’s worth, than
in telling what he has doe, or in speak-
ing of what concerns himself alone.
Courtesy may be instinctive; but again
it may be the result of honest effort. In
either case it is an honor to him who ex-
hibits it, and a gain to him who is its
recipient.
— The time has pretty well gone by,
says the New York Times, when pro-
tection as a theory is believed in by any
one sincerely and disinterestedly. It
has become a great grab game, and the
longest arms and the tightest grip get
the most from it.

Forcep To Leave Home. —Over 60
people were forced to leave their homes
yesterday to call at their druggist’s for a
ree trial package of Lane’s Family
Medicine. If your blood is bad, your
liver and kidneys out of order, if you
are constipated ard have headache and
an unsightly complexion, don’t fail to
call on any druggist to-day for a free
sample of this grand remedy. The
ladies praise it. Every one likes it.

CrEAM ORANGE. —Make a custard
with the yelks of eight eggs, four ounces
of pounded sugar, a quart of milk and
the thin rind of two oranges; stir it in
a bain marie till it thickens. Dissolve
one ounces of gelatine in a little warm
water, and add to it the juice of one or-
ange; add this to the custard, strain,
put it into a mold and placeit on ice to
set.

— $500 Reward for an incurable
case of chronic Nasal Catarrh is offered
by the manufacturers of Dr. Sage’s Ca-
tarrh Remedy.
— Bob Ingersoll recently was talk-
ing with an old colored woman in
Washington upon religious matters.
“Do you really believe, Aunty,” said
he, “that people are made out of dust?”
Yes, sah! The Biblesays dey is, an’
so I b’lieves it.”
«But what is done in wet weather,
when there is nothing but mud ?”
«Den I s’pects dey make infiduls an’
sich truck.”
— Two great enemies—Hood’s Sar-
saparilla and impure blood. The latter
is utterly defeated by the peculiar med-
icine.

It is only those who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to proleng 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 is not
intended forjthem 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, wholesomeland 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.
It 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 ithe printer
