Farm Notes.
Experiments with burnt clay dem"
ovstrate it to be a fertilizer. Its value
consists in its affinity for the plant
forming elements in the soil. It ex-
tracts ammonia from the atmosphere
and yields it to plants, as well as at-
fording potash that is set free from
the clay itself. It is the opinion of
leading agriculturists that the burn-
ing of marl will render it more avail-
able to plants, and that burnt clay will
be a fertilizer in the future.
When moisture is plentiful and the
rains come at proper times it must not
be overlooked that the weeds are bene-
fited by the favorable conditions as well
as the crops. The rains increase the
work of destroying weeds, but much of
the labor may be saved by using the
cultivator after each rain so as to de
stroy the weeds as soon as they appear
above ground.
The peach trees have been attacked
severely by aphides this season. In
Delaware and Maryland a spraying of
strong soapsuds, made from common
rosin soap, is considered the best rem-
edy. A teaspoonful of spirits of tur
pentine in each pail of suds will be
tound advantageous, but kerosene
should not be used, as it will quickly
destroy peach trees.
By planting small trees they can be
better started and will be less liahle
to the effects of drought, compared
with older trees. Too mueh top on
young trees is a frequent cause ot loss,
they not possessing sufficient roots
to nourish the many new shoots that
are produced on tops that have not
been cut back.
If the strawberry bed is full of weeds
and the plants have borne a crop last
year, it will be a difficult task to pre-
vent the weeds taking possession before
the crop can be made profitable next
season. A new bed should have been
planted last month, however, but it is
rather late to do so now.
By keeping the surface of the soil
loose the loss of moisture by capillary
attraction and evaporation will be par-
tially avoided. A loose soil, if only an
inch in depth, serves as a mulch, or
covering,over the surfaceof the ground,
thus protecting the roots and assisting
to retain the moisture below.
If the ground is cold nothing will be
gained by putting seeds of tender plants,
such as beans and melons, in too early.
The plant that starts a little later in
the season, and which is unchecked,
will overtake in growth the earlier
plant that has been subjected to cool
nights and lack of warmth in the soil.
Grain may be fed liberally to cows
when they are in full flow of milk, but
if the cows are drying off previous to
calving it is better to withhold all
grain if the animals are ina good con-
dition, in order to avoid milk fever at
calving time. Plenty of grass is suffi-
ciznt for dry cows, grain being un-
necessary.
Gilt-edged butter depends for its
its quality not only on breed and feed to
a certain extent, but more so on the
skill of the dairyman. The first re-
quisite is cleanliness, which begins at
the stable and ends with the pack-
ing of the butter for market.
If it pays some farmers to raise the
dairy cows that are purchased by dai-
ry-men who sell their calves, it should
pay the dairymen to raise their own
cows, especially if he does so with the
the aim of improving his herd.
Stock needs salt when green food is
plentiful more than at any other time.
The lack of salt sometimes causes in-
jurious effects from green food that
might be avoided by its use for stock.
Should fowls that were afflicted with
roup show the effects of the disease
during the summer, the difficulty of
effecting a cure is too great and the
flock should be destroyed.
Trim back theraspberries and black-
berries if it has not been done, in or-
der to induce the growth of laterals,
though the matter should have been
attended to earlier.
Cows will not refuse stagnant water
when thirsty, and as such water con-
taminates the milk the matter of a
plentiful supply of fresh water is an
important one. >
Peas may still be planted for a late
supply. Use the dwarf kinds and
keep them well cultivated, as the grass
will easily crowd them out during
warm weather.
The hoe will compensate for lack of
manure in the garden sometimes.
Nothing improves vegetables like a
good hoeing of the soil and cutting out
the weeds.
During the warm days of summer
the manure will ‘fire-fang’” unless
plenty of absorbent material be used,
or the manure turned over oceasion-
ally.
All fallen fruit, whether very young
or nearly matured, should be .destroy-
ed in order to prevent the propagation
of insects as much as possible.
It will pay to thoroughly examine
every ear of corn intended for seed.
Corn from fields infested with rust last
season should be avoided.
Sheep will ne=d but little feed from
the barn now if grass is plentiful, and
a saving of grain may be made in that
direction.
About one pound of London purple |
to 200 gallons of water is a sufficiently
strong solution for an insecticide.
Orchard grass is considered superior
to timothy, but it does not yield as
much hay. ’
——Most rubber goods have been |
adulterated so that they don’t begin to
be as good as they used to be, ot so
with Truth, however, for the truth nev-
er was stretched half so much as at pres-
ent. There seems to be absolutely no
limit to its elasticity.

Self Possession of Women.
Women are more self possessed than
men. On occasions of ceremony and
display they appear happy and ‘‘at
home.” A well dressed woman is ‘in
her element” at public entertainments,
and she moves calmly and gracefully
under the gaze of numerous eyes, while
her male attendant is self-conscious and
flurried. Observe the placidity which
characterizes a handsomely dressed wo-
man as she takes her seatin a church or
concert room, and the contrast present-
ed by the nervousness and lack of repose
in the motions of man. It has often
been remarked that brides are generally
collected and sedate during the marriage
ceremony, while bridegrooms are bash-
ful and awkward.
Wourp Never Ger Over Ir.—It
happened in a crowded horsecar. A
seedy looking man, very much the
worse for having looked too often on the
wine when it was red, rose to give his
seat to a lady, when a robust man slip-
ped into the vacant seat leaving thelady
still standing.
“Sa-a-y, you—you feller you,” said
the boozy but chivalrous individual as
he swayed to and fro, hanging to a strap,
“J—I'm drunk, I know, but I— I'll
get over it, I will; but you-—you're a
hog, an’ you—you’ll never get over it
in—in this world—no, sir, never !”’
And the other passengers agreed with:
him.
TENDER CHICKENs cooked
following way are as good as if they were
broiled : Open them in the back, sea-
son and put them in a baking-pan, with
a little water in it. Turn another pan
over it, and bake for an hour and a half
or two hours according to the size. If
they are not brown enough when near-
ly done takeoff the upper pan. Cut
off the neck before putting in the oven,
and boil it along with the giblets in half
a pint of water. Take the bones out of
neck ; cut that, the gizzard and beart
into fine pieces. Mash the liver with a
spoon, and add them all, with the water
in which they were boiled, to the
gravy.
SreAkING ONE'S Minp.—A Boston
lady residing in Washington attended a
full (un) dress party. In conversation
with a charming young lady she said :
“Why, look at that creature, an old
woman, frizzled and painted, and pow-
dered and bare! Do you know who she
18?” “Yes, said the person addressed,
“sheis my mother.” The feelings of
the visitor may be imagined.
A Loxe Bearp.—Philip Henson, a
planter, resding near Corinth, Miss., is
believed to be the possessor of the longest
beard in the world. He is a man of
unusual stature, standing nearly 6} feet
in his usual stockings; this notwith-
standing, his beard reaches the ground
when he is standing erect. Henson has
several threads in his beard which meas-
ure over seventy inches. This remark-
able growth is but fourteen years old.
A countryman who came to town
recently on his bicycle carelessly left it
in front of the hotel at which he was
staying, and found when he returned
that it was missing. “Why don’t you
apply to the police?’ suggested the
clerk when the matter was explained to
him. “Do you think they stole it?”
was the innocent response.

quire the necessities of

in consequence of getting
hungry are sensible enough
to try to get what is good,

require them to lay out all
that they earn, to appease
their appetites. We have
been in the hunger, appeas-

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
pedple 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

there is nothing that is eat-
able, relishable or appetiz-
