Farm Notes.
Linseed meal is an excellent and
harmless food and medicine. Many
animals that have lost appetite may
be brought into condition by allowing
them linseed meal once or twice a day.
It should be used sparingly at first.
For a cow allow half a pint a day, and
gradually increase the quantity uatil a
quart or more may be given. For hide
bound it is excellent, and where cattle
are lousy it soon drives the vermin
away. It alsoregulates the bowels,and
largely assists in balancing the ration
when it is composed of food not nutri-
tious in nitrogen and carbonaceous
matter.
A crop of oats, cut when the seed is
in the milky stage and cared, is excel-
lent for stock, and serves as an agree-
able addition to the regular diet in
winter. In some portions of the South
where but little hay is grown, the oats
and straw are passed through a fod-
der-cutter and fed to horses and cows
with good results. By cutting the crop
when in the milky stage the nutrition
is arrested in the stalk on its way to
the seed-heads.
Ia all cases where disease of any
kind has appeared in a flock or herd
the difficulty will re-appear unless it is
stamped out by disin‘ection of the
premises. The germs may remain in
the location in a dormant condition for
years. Every inch of ground occupied
by diseased stock should be disinfected
as well as the buildings and stalls.
An emulsion of one quart of kero-
gene in five gallons of strong soapsuds
is an excellent remedy for caterpillars
that will now intest apple trees, but
kerosense is fatal to peach trees. The
proper way, however, is to tear out all
the nests that appear in the trees and
burn them, which work should be
done late in the afternoon.
In the desire to secure size in the,
strawberry the more desirable qualities
of hardiness of vine and flavor of the
fruit are being overlooked. A well-
flavored, solid berry, even if small, is
better than some of the large, hollow,
insipid berries that are more attractive
in appearance than in quality.
The pig is happy when he is in the
cloverfield. If kept in a pen, give him
all the clover he can eat, with a mess
of bran at night. On such a diet he
should thrive and grow. No corn is
necessary fora growing pig, but his |
quarters should be clean.
The tact that liquid manure is often
too strong and injures plants is suffici-
ent evidence thet it should be saved.
It may be diluted and applied by sprink-
ling, or added to the manure heap in
connection with some kind of absorb:
ent material.
At some of the creameries the esti-
mate is that 100 pounds of milk (a lit-
tle less than fifty quarts) make 33
pounds of batter, which is, however,
less than it should ‘be. Better cows
will increase the amount of butter and
give a larger profit.
As the roots of trees extend a great
distance from the trunk the proper
mode of applying manure to trees is
to spread it over the surface of the
ground for a distance around the tree,
and not apply it in a compact mass
-close to the tree.
In some portions of New Jersey the
peach trees have been injured by the
changes of warmth and cold during the
winter as well as the fruit. Lice have
also appeared on the peach trees, and
damage is likely to result therefrom.
Every weed that is allowed to secure
a stand will deprive the crop of a cer-
tain portion of plant food and moisture.
Every weed that is allowed to go to
seed increases the work of eradication
a hundred fold.
The cheapest way to kill very young
weeds is to harrow the ground. As a
large space of ground can be harrowed
in a day it will requirebut little labor
and saves arduous work later on.
About twenty-five pounds of wool
per 2-year-old merino sheep was ob-
tained by the Saline (Mich.) sheep
breeders in April. This does not ap-
ply to washed wool. 7
Sow Hungarian grass this month or
in June. It keeps down the weeds
and produces several cuttings of bay,
growing rapidly and well during the
warmest portion of the year.
When procuring a thorough-bred:
male aim to secure one that is better
than the stock he is to improve. Too
much attention cannot be given the
matter of selection of the male.
For feeding purposes it is estimated
that 100 pounds of beets are worth 19
cents ; 100 pounds gf rutabagas,15 cts.,
and 100 pounds of the flat turnip, 11
cents.
Clover, chopped fine and sprinkled
with bran and meal, is a cheap and ex-
cllent food for hens and ducks.
Sunflowers will grow wherever corn
will thrive. They produce a large
amount of seed, but need plenty of ma-
nure.
She mian't Take Orders from a Distance.
She was a little old woman dressed
in bitck and having a bundle wrap-
ped up in a gray shawl. She had a
seat in the middie of a Grand River
avenue car, and as she took out her
clay pipe and began feeling for her
tobacto the conductor stepped forward
and sid:
«You mustn’t smoke here, ma’am.”
“Why not?”
“Against the rules?”
«Who made the rules?”
“The company.”
«Where’s the company?”
“Down at the office.”
“Well, I never allow nobody a mile
away to tell me when I shall or shall
not smoke. I’ve got wind on my
stomach, and when I have it I allus
smoke. You kin trot right back to
the platform and be ready to jingle
the bell when anybody wants to get
off.”
And she found a match, lighted it
on the sole of her solid shoe, and
puffed away with serene countenance
until ready to get off at Twelfth street.
Matching the Complexion.
A Change in Some Popular Errors as
to Blondes and Brunettes.
For years it was thought that yellow
of any shade was peculiarly the color for
brunettes, and that blondes should never
wearit. This has now been shown to be
a great mistake.
A woman of the deadest white skin,
with light blue eyes and pale blonde
hair, becomes a poem when she dons a
yellow gown. A yellow frock and a
yellow fan have been known to trans-
form a ratheriplain blonde into a vision ot
almost perfect loveliness. How could it
fail to be so! All the lines of blonde
beauty are fair and sunny. Why, then,
should it not follow that they are set off
to the best advantage and brought into
most admirable prominence by similar
tints? To my mind like has as much
attraction for like in the law of beauty as
in that ot love, for I am not one of those
who believe in the doctrine that people
are attracted by their opposites.
But it must not be supposed that pre-
cisely the same shade of yellow will suit
every blonde. There are many types of
blonde beauty—as many as there are
shades of scarlet—each wholly different
and distinct from all the others. In
dressing a blonde in yellow the point is
to frame her beauty in that shade which
shall harmonize perfectly with it
Tt used to be thought that light blue
was the color par excellence for blondes.
Now, modistes, who are artists in color
as well, are awakening tothe fact that
blue is chilling to blonde beauty, which
needs the tints of the sun and rot those
of the sky to give it warmth. It is the
brunette with her own rich warmth of
color, who may becomingly wear even
that shade of blueso long considered sa-
cred to babies.—S¢. Louis Post Dis-
patch.
A Cool Summer.
Sergeant Dunn, of the United States
weather service, who made the prediction
in regard to the great floods in the valley
of the Mississippi, predicts that the com-
ing summer is going to be a cool one.
He says: “The weather is dreadully erra-
tic in America, but it 1s consistent in one
single respect. It keeps its average the
whole year within a limit of only five
degrees” of variation. The year 1875
was the coldest, on the whole, that we
have had since we'vehad a weather
bureau. We can count on the weather
keeping within certain bounds, and so it
follows that when we have an unusully
cold winter we have an unusually
warm summer to counterbalance it
and keep up the average. As we've
had extremely temperate weather all
winter, and much warmer weather than
usual this spring, we will probably have
a cool summer to balance the account.
——Just hear that child scream !”
said Mrs. Smith to her sister, Mrs.
Dayis, as the sound of a child’s shrieks
came across the garden from a neigh-
bor’s house. “What kind of a wom-
an have you for a neighbor ? Does she
abuse her children ?’ No, indeed,”
replied Mrs. Davis. “She is one of the
most tender mothers in existence. But
you see, she believes in the old-fashion-
ed styles of doctoring. When a child
needs physic, she fills a spoon with
some nauseous dose,lays the little vic
tim flat on her lap, holds his nose shut
till he is forced to open his mouth for
breath, when down goes the dreadful
mess. “Then come the yells.” “No
wonder,” said Mrs, Smith, “Why don't
she use Dr. Pierce's’ Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets ? They are effective with-
out being harsh, and are as easy to
take as sugar plums. I always give
them to my children.” “And sodo I,”
said Mrs. Davis.

It is only those who

life, to prolong their ex-

Those who use no-

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. ®
