Farm Notes.
The value of manure or fertilizers
depends not only upon the amount of
plant food they contain but also upon
the kind and quality. Commercial
fertilizers contain plant food in a con-
centrated form, while manure form,
substances in contains nearly the same
a bulky condition, and they
may be nearly alike in composi
tion or vary widely. Every pound of
available plant food in a ton of manure
can be duplicated by the chemist, and
in a smaller bulk.
The temperature when churning is
about sixty-three degrees, though some
churn a degree or two higher or lower
according to conditions. To cool the
cream in the churn apply ice or cold
water on the outside of the churn, or
it in the can before churning instead
of adding cold water to the cream..
The melons prefer a light,’ sandy
soil and plenty of manure. They will
not thrive during a wet season, or where
the ground is damp. Until they begin
to run they should be kept clear of grass
and weeds, but they will need only
slight attention after they cover the
ground
Those who are accustomed to the
growing of canliflowers will not fail to
have a few plants every season if once
they are given a trial. They are as
easily grown as cabbage, and are ten-
tender and crisp. They grow rapidly,
and thrive best with frequent hoeing.
Every weed that grows takes from
the soil a certain amount of nutrition,
and every time the growing weeds ‘are
turned under the elements are again
added to the soil. It is cheaper to
keep the soil clean than to clean it af
ter it is covered with weeds.
The importance of good breeds may
be shown by the fact that a Michigan
farmer's Shorthorn caif weighed 125
pounds when only 1 day old, when a
Shorthorn calf belonging to another
breeder weighed 740 pounds when
3 months old.
Do not sow small seeds too deep in
ground. One of the many causss of
failure of the carrot and parsnip seeds
to push throngh the ground is that too
much earth is placed on them. The
lightest of covering will answer,
Never keep a poor milker as long as
there is a possibility of getting some-
thing better. It is just as important
to replace a poor cow with a better one
as it is to get rid of a balky horse for
one more servicable.
Sheep are also used as dairy animals
in s»me countries. The celebrated
Rochesort cheese is made from the
milk ot sheep, and in many portions of
Canada sheep are regularly milked,
and profitably. ;
Milk from cows that have recently
calved is usually ropy,vetit is frequent-
lv mixed in the can with the milk of
other cows. Ropy milk is not in a
proper condition to be used as food.
The bronze gobbler should be used
for improving the flock of turkeys.
May is an excellent time for hatching
young turkeys, as they will thrive bet-
ter than when hatched earlier.
The large Lima bean has been made
to assume the bush habit, and this will
greatly aid in the annual production
of a larger crop for consumption,
Salt is frequently applied to aspara-
gus beds, but soapsuds are better.
Celery is also benefited by liberal ap-
plications of soapsuds.
Peas and oats are oftentimes sown
together, and cut as green food for the
cows as soon as the seed pods of the
peas are formed.
Tomake new ropes pliable be]
fore using them in the stables boi
them and dry them in the sun.
Early turnips may be planted this
month for table use, bat the main
crop should be later. :
White clover is said to be disappear-
ing in some of the Eastern States ; it is
more than holding its own in the West.
It is a great luxury to live on a good
road. It pays everyone living along
a road to do his share toward making
it a good one.-
As a presumption against weevil iu
grain the granary ought to be entirely
cleared every year and old grain stor-
ed elseware.
The difficulty when cream will not
raise, in nine cases out of . ten, is the
temperature. ~~ Every buttermaker
should have a thermometer.
Professor Ladd concludes that itis
preferable to cut timothy for feedidg at
the period of full bloom rather than af-
ter the seeds have forme.
Feed the pig regularly and liberally
a variety of wholesome food, always
some bulky food, and Jet each feed be
eaten up clean before more is giveu.
A pound of bran makes within 17
per cent. of as much milk as a pound
of cornmeal which usually costs much
wore but cornmeal makes much richer
milk.
Ashes, says L. J. Farmer, of New
Jersey, increase the qnantity of the
strawberry crop; and make it better
colored and firmer. Well-rotted barn-
yard manure makes a healthy growth
of plants. Superphosphiates are also
valuable.
When cattle take to the woods or to
the shade on a hot day to escape the
sun and bloodthirsty flies is an argu-
ment for soiling every time. The pas-
ture they tread down is another argu-
ment. The cost of fences is another
strong one,
—-The name Deadwood originatcd
from the superabundance of dead pine
timber on the mountains and along
the streams above the Dakota city, and
was so called by the pioneers who first
discovered gold in 1875. The city was
laid out in the summer of 1878.
Ex-Governor Curtin on the Gubernator-
ial Question.
Last Saturday in Philadelphia Ex-
Governor Curtin delived himself as fol-
lows to a reporter of the Evening Her-
ald in regard tothe Democratic caudi-
dates for Governor :
“You may say that I think Senator
Wallace will bé nominated and that
he ought to be; He is thenatural can-
didate alike on account of his expe-
rience and ability and because of the
peculiar condiions existing at this
time.”
“I have no personal objections to
Governor Pattison,” he continued, and
his face assumed a thoughtful aspect,
“and do not disparage his ability or
question his inegrity, but the present
conditions are such as to make Sena-
tor Wallace the more available candi-
date. ]
“Mr. Wallace has made one mis-
take in his carvass,’”’ continued Gov-
ernor Curtin, {That is, he delayed the
declaration ofais candidacy too long.
If the announcement had been made
two months earlier than it was there
would have be:n no opposition to him.
As ic is, he will be nominated, because
his strong personality and splendid
majorities will wipe out the blunder.
But with any other man 1t would have
been fatal.”
“Yes, Wallece will defeat Delama-
ter easily, but Hastings would hold
the Republican vote and be elected.
Of course, I ann for Hastings as the
Republican candidate,” he remarked
with such emphasis as to carry con-
viction of sincerity with it.

Charaegeristic Misrepresentation.

The protectionist which
on the Customs Union report, have al-
ready begun misrepresenting it. Ac-
cording to the organs, Mr. Blaine's
letter is not a plea for reciprocal free

andan international bank. This is an
exhibition of protection mendacity as

TIME oN A MILE.— A man can
swim a mile in 26 minutes 32 seconds;
he can walk it in 6 minutes 23 seconds ;
he can cover it on snow shoes in 5 min-
utes 39% seconds ; he can run the dis-
tance in 4 minutes 12% seconds; he can
ride it on a tricycle in 2 minutes 49 2-5

he gains nearly four secouds in covering

while on a running horse he gallop the

——Miss Hunt was alone in a small
cabin in Iowa. Guleh, Col.,, when
three toughs came and ordered her
to get out three square meals, and be
quick about it. She asked how they
liked their eggs, hard or soft, and at the
same instant covered the nearest tough
with a revolver and pulled the trigger
Pieces of his jawbone rattled against the
side of the cabin, whereupon Miss Hunt.
with delicate sarcasm, observed that
perhaps “two square meals would be
enough.” The two toughs begged for
mercy,and were permitted to carry their
wounded companion into the brush.
