Farm Notes.
Let the calf suck for a few days.
"The milk is good for nothing else, and
the milk does the calf good and the
sucking does the cow good,especially if
the udder is at all inflamed.
Do not be looking abroad for a mar-
ket until you are sure you can’t find
one at home. A steady home market is
worth more than ten times as much as
an uncertain foreign one.
When a plant produces seed it will
not afterward make an attempt to flow-
er. Pansies, which bear flower profuse-
ly, should be kept clean by picking the
flowers off daily. If this is not done
the supply of flowers will soon fall off.
Many farmers forget that coal ashes
are excellent on heavy clay soils, not
directly as a fertilizer, but to make the
soil light and porous. They serve
much the same good purpose on clay
soils that a coat of sand would do could
it be had.
Mr. C. W. Garfield, of Grand Rapids,
says Michigan Farmer, cuts 400 dozen
bunches of asparagus from an acre of
land. To that acre are applied thirty-
two tons of stable manureeach autumn,
and eight tons of refuse salt from a
leather tannery every spring.
White-washed laths hung on a barb-
ed-wire fence will make it visible to
stock, and guard against some of the
dangers attending the use of barbed
wire. The soiling system in place of
pasturage is another remedy against
the danger of barbed wire fences.
A fifteen-mile journey is an average
day’s work for a horse. How far does
the cow travel in poor pasture, nipping
a pennyweight of grass here and there
to get her daily ration? Then she is
expected to pay forit through the milk-
pail, says the Mirror and Farmer.
What folly it is in a farmer to buy
ton after ton of artificial fertilizers and
‘waste tons of manure in his barnyard
by exposure and neglect! It is about
as gilly as for the same man to spend
as much annually for tobacco as his
taxes cost, and then complain of high
taxes.
The farmer who makes his soil deep
and rich with high culture and manure,
and whose cattle are sleek and gentle,
is the one who complains least about
the depression in agriculture. There
is depression, but it affects poor and
unthinking farmers much more than
the opposite class.
Throughout France gardening is
practically tanght in the primary and
elementary schools. There are about
28,000 of these schools, each of which
has a garden attached to it, and is un-
der the care of a master capable of im-
parting a knowledge of the first princi-
ples of horticulture.
The Country Gentleman says the
Lawrence, a late autumn and early
winter pear, of fine quality, but not
equal to the best, is only partially melt-
ing, but it has the good quality of nev-
er becoming scabby, is always fair, and
the tree holds 1ts foliage late in autumn
until the fruit is well matured. Itis a
good market variety.
‘Wheat, corn and potatoes are all
benefited by being grown on a clover
god plowed under after a good growth
has been secured. One advantage
with clover is that the first crop can
be cut for hay, yielding as much as
other kinds of grass, and yet make a
sufficient growth to give a good dress-
ing of manure when plowed under.
It is better to devote some time to
planning the day's work than to start
out helter-skelter in the morning, doing
whatever first attracts attention, but
the time for this thinking is not after
going to bed the night before. Such a
practice destroys sleep and makes one
less fit for work when daylight comes.
It is perhaps cheaper to pasture the
cows where land is cheap, and on large
farms, but it will not pay on valuable
small farms. To use five acres instead
of one is to lose the nse of four acres.
The soiling system will at some future
time revolutionize the present methods,
the discovery of the preservation of
green foods in the silo being the first
step in that direction.
Do not try to make a specialty of
wool and mutton at the same time.
The best mutton breeds are not the
kind of sheep for producing the choice
grades of wool. The size of the sheep
does not affect its production of wool.
The heaviest fleeces come from the Me-
rino, which is the smallest breed of
sheep now kncwn.
Did you ever notice how much
ranker and quicker in the spring the
growth of grass is around the house
and in the yards ? What would you
not give to have such a pasture for ear-
ly spring? You can have it. A liber-
al coating of well-rotted manure evenly
spread this fall will give it a good start,
and another next fall will finish the job.
In the meantime don’t pasture it close
in the fall.
I planted two rows side by side in
my garden, one with whole potatoes
size of hen eggs, the other with single
eyes, taken from parings. The pota-
toes and eyes were dropped ten inches
apart in the rows and were tended
throughout the summer exactly alike.
The yield from the eyes was equal to
that from the whole potatoes, both in
size and quantity,—F. 1, in New York
Tribune.
Laying hens require meat, more es-
pecially in cold weather, when eggs
are scarce, We would, however, pre-
fer to give them all the skim-milk they |
will drink, this being a good substitute
for meat, and in some respects more !
healthful. On the farm, where milk is
usually plenty, there should he fresh
milk provided for both old and joung
stock. You will see good results from
such a course. Try it.
A Few Fashion Points.
Brown lace hats are trimmed with
yellow roses and poppies.
Shoulder capes are of silk netting,
ending with a deep frin ge.
Black tights are worn in place of hose
under ladies’ riding trousers.
Six-button lengths have come in style
for Suede and glace kid.
Expensive and rare waist belts are of
the highly polished lizard skin.
Silk gloves with the double tips wiil
be very fashionable this summer.
Black silk vandyke passementerie is
novel with a mixture of gold braid.
Lovely little butter plates are of
French china shaped like different
leaves.
Velvet toques and turbans with full
weaths of flowers without foliage are
liked by young ladies.
Black and gold screens, cushions and
table-covers are in good style with fur-
niture of any color.
Jet trimmings are in vogue again,
and are considered handsome only wken
of the finest beads and designs.
‘White cashmere gowns are trimmed
with amethyst or stem-green velvet rib-
bon and mother-of-pearl buckles.
Gold is in favor—gold braid, gold
passementerie, gold lace and gold em-
broidery are the favorite garnitures.
Linen sheets have deep hemstitched,
frilled or scalloped edges, and the end
that turns over has swiss embroidery.
The pillow cases correspond.
The fashionable afternoon tea-cloths
in fine linen have deep hemstitched
borders, headed by a row of open “vein-
ings,” and borders of drawn work in
several beautiful designs.
In fancy and plain cambric pocket-
handkerchiefs there are several new de-
signs, notably one with scalloped edges
and a large daisy in each scallop; and
another with fancy over cast corners,
with spaces of hemstitched border in be-
tween.
The new color of the day is ‘“Horten-
sia,” a rich red mauve verging on pink;
it may fade, but in its original beauty
it can hardly be surpassed, especially in
thick corded poult de soie ; it has been
successfully draped with crepe lisse or
book muslin.
A large lace scarf is capable of a hun-
dred freaks in the hands of a clever
woman. Itis worn as a Marie An-
toinette fichu, an evening head wrap, a
blouse front and sash and a peasant
girdle, pointed back and front, with the
long ends knotted once on the side.
There appears to be only twe kinds of
sleeves worn with variations--the leg of
mutton, which is assuming gigantic pro-
portions, and sometimes at the wrist
falls over the hand in a point, or the
one large puff from shoulder to elbow,
completed by a deep tight fighting
gauntlet cuff to the wrist.
Nun’s veiling is a la’ mode, and is
likely to remain so; it has been improv-
ed of late by open embroidery worked
upon it, pink on light tan, or light
primrose on beliotrope. A black gui-
pure of a design like rose point can be
bought by the yard, and a firm is using
this for the gigot sleeves over a color.
The hats with crumpled brims are
likely to be extensively worn by young
ladies—some made of plaited cord, with
a gold butterfly in front; others with a
tiny narrow rouleau of velvet laid
round the brim. Bunches of lillies of
the valley blend admirably with green
velvet on white horsehair hats; and
larger and most becoming shapes in
black horsehair are trimmed with pop-
pies. A small bonnet of heliotrope
straw, formed into flutings over the
forehead, was trimmed with lilac, and
another with heath.
GIRDLED THE EARTH IN SIX YEARS.
— While George Francis Train holds
the championship belt for quick travel-
ing the Jubilee Singers of Fisk Univer-
sity, Nashville, have the medal forslow
time. They have completed their tour
around the world, which began April 8
1884 when they sailed from New York
for England, and have finally disband-
ed. During their long tour they sang
through England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales, Australia, New Zealand,
Ceylon, India, China and Japan.—
Picaynne.
A Horrip THING.—“Do you like
babies, Mr. White?” asked the young
mother, tenderly, of the grim old bache-
lor who sat at the foot of the table.
“Don’t know, marm,” replied the old
bachelor promptly, between two mouth-
fuls of potatoes. ‘Never tasted any.”
It Dio~'t Work.—“We try to give
our convicls work similar to that in
which they have been brought up,”
said the warden.
“Thanks, pard. That suits me to a
T,” returned the vagrant. “I ben
brought up walking through the coun-
try askin’ for meals and getting away
from dogs. I'll begin right off.”

in consequence of getting

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 tolre-

people enjoy good health,
than among dyspeptic com-

people pure food must be
used. We understand this,

satisfy the demands of the
many different stomachs

there is nothing that is eat~
