Farm Notes.
As many as sixteen tons of sugar
‘beets may be grown on an acre, and if
they cannot be converted nto sugar
they can be used as food for stock.
Good, well-cured hay, is an article of
food that seldom causes any ill effects.
All classes of stock may eat their fill
of it without danger of colic and other
complaints of the bowels.
Potato rot developes most in damp
locations and during very warm weath-
er. One of the cheapest remedies for
lessening the ravages of the rot is to
dust the leaves with air-slaked lime.
If a heavy, strong-growing hedge is
desired, the honey locust will answer
the purpose. The trees will, in a few
years, closely interlock and become al-
most impregnable.
Three-quarters of an ounce of salt toa
pound will be the rizht quantity for
most markets for immediate consump-
tion, and one ounce to a pound for
packed butter.
Kickers among colts and calves are
usually bred, not born. Handle them
gently and kindly and kickers will be
rare. Teasing by heedless hoys and
hired men originates most of the farm
kickers.
It is better to pinch off all the fruit
than to allow it to begin to bear too
early in life. The tree like the ani-
mal, should first make growth before
beginning to produce. Premature pro-
duction results in premature decay.
The quicker the grower made by a
plant the better it endure drought and
insect :atrtacks. To secure rapid growth
cultivate the plants well, and thus les-
sen the disadvantages of a prolong-
ed dry spell, which may come at any
time.
The truest test of a cow’s dairy qual-
ities is to test her for a full year, or
from the date of dropping one calf un-
til the next one is dropped. Tests for
a week or a month after a special pre-
paration are delusive.
The agricultural colleges have done
much for agriculture by teaching the
farmer and stockman the true value of
foods. This knowledge teaches him
not only how to feed properly, but also
how to avoid waste.
Wheat and oats should he given al-
ternately to the hens—oats always dry;
wheat either dry or cooked. We have
invariably had good results from feed-
ing sound wheat boiled or bursting,
says Field and Farm.
Milk cavs should be washed in
“cold or tepid water first, and then rins-
ed in boiling water before they are ex-
posed to be aired. The addition of a
little soda and borax to the hot water
increases itscleansing propensities.
According to California fruit growers
rhubarb may be forced by placing
kegs or half barrels over the plants
and surrounding the same with heat-
ing manure. The tops of the barrels
or kegs can be covered with boards or
sacks.
Ohio Farmer declares that it is a
waste of cash product to feed: a calf
whole milk after his rennent stomach
changes so as to call for solid food,
and it is a mistake to so feed it after it
‘i810 days old. It considers warm
skimmed milk and a little oatmeal
much better.
If you want a paying dairy do not
breed everything. Ifyou do you will
accomplish about as much as the man
who shoots at random expecting to
kill all the game. When you breed,
breed for something. Aim at some
‘idea of excellence, using proper means,
and you will be sure ot improvement.
One of the results of pasturing cows
in a wood lot is said to be grubs in their
backs, which are certainly sometimes
found. The same authority says that
the remedy in many cases (certainly
when near a town and where land is
‘valuable) is that the cow owner had
better not pasture at all. Soiling is the
better way.
H. P. Hopkins, of New York, avers
that every time he churns unripe cream
he loses. Heeays: “When cream is
a trifle acid it is sufficiently ripened.
I prefer a concussion churn to the
friction churn. White specks in. but-
ter come from coagulation of the milk,
which settles to the bottom of the cans.
"They should be washed out properly.
The attacks of the striped cucumber
beetle are repelled by planting beans in
‘each hill with the cucumber seed.
‘Gas, lime or tobacco dust, applied with
a bellows at least once a week,or better
twice, is good for woolly aphis. For
flea beetle mix thoroughly one tea-
spoonful paris green with one quart of
flour ; this to be dusted on the plants
while wet with dew.
Where skimmed milk is plentiful de-
vote a portion of it at least to your
poultry. Supply it occasionzlly in
form of curd made by heating the milk
until the whey separates from the sol-
id part. Milk is very nutritious, and
as its constituents closely resemble the
white of the egg it is especially desir-
able for laying fowls. Clabbered milk
is also eagerly eaten by fowls and is
good for them.
Experiments at the Cornell (Ithaca,
N. Y.) station show that horse manure
thrown in a loose pile and subjected to
the action of the weathor loses one-
half its value as a fertilizer. Manure
that simply dries without heating is
vot damaged materially. It pays,
therefore, to haul ont and scatter ma-
nure as it is made, thereby saving it all;
or, inelieu of this, it should be kept
covered.
Experiments on the farm need not
always be successful. They often
teach what not to do, which is just as
important as knowing what todo. All
the experiments that may be made by
scientists in the interests of the farmer !
are not as valuable to him as those
coming under hisexperience on his farm,
and the farmer who fails to experiment
will deprive himself of much useful
‘knowledge.
.
A modest, sensitive woman often
shrinks from consulting a physician
about functional derangement, and pre-
fers to suffer in silence. This may be a
mistaken feeling, but it is one which is
largely prevalent. To all such women
we would say that one of the most skill-
ful physieians of the day, who has had
a vast experience in curing diseases pe-
culiar to women, has prepared a remedy
which is of inestimable aid to them.
‘We refer to Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pres-
cription, This is the only remedy for
woman’s peculiar weaknesses and ail-
ments, sold by druggists, under a posi-
tive guarantee from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every
case or money refunded. See guaran-
tee printed on bottle wrapper.
THe OLp ProBLEM.— “Were you
ever in love before, Edwin ?”’
“Great Caesar,” he cried, in anguish,
“am I never to be free from that awful
question ?”
“And what is strange about it ?”’
“All the girls I ever loved have ask-
ed it, and when I answer ’em ‘yes,’ they
answer they wouldn’t have thought it
from the way I acted, And now here
you are laying wires to ring in the same
old conundrum.”—San Francisco Wasp
A ToorusomME PuppING.—Put twelve:
egg yelks in a bowl with a pound of
white sugar and beat very light. Add
half a pound of creamed butter. Shred
up halt a pound of citron, grate half a
pound of cocoanut; blanch and pound
a quarter of a pound of almonds and
add these with the grated rind of a fresh
lemon. Last, add the whites of eight
eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Line four
pie plates with puff paste, fill with the
pudding and bake in a moderately heat-
ed oven. Do not cook rapidly.— Ladies’
Home Journal.
Waar He Missep.—Uncle Silas
Greening, visiting his niece in the city,
was taken one day to see the chrysan-
themum show. The c¢ld man is of a
practical turn, and seldom hesitates to
speak his mind.
“Well, uncle,” said his niece, after
their return home, “how did you like
the exhibition 7
“Wal, to tell you the truth, Elviry, I
didn’t think much on’t.”
“Why, what was the matter with it?’
“Matter? Why, there wasn’t so
much as a single pumpkin in the whole
show |”

“WaNTED—Teliable men,’ read Mrs.
Bascom from the advertising columns
of the paper. Then sheraised her glass-
es upon her forehead, looked severely
at her husband and remarked : “And
the world’ll wait a considerable num-
ber of centuries yet before it gets ’em.”
S1sTER—“Bobby, who tied that tin
can on that poor dog's tail 2” Bobby—

a dog’s tail, would you Bobby ?”’ Bob-

“But, my dear, how cana tellow

to see you I never got home till 2 or 3
o’clock, and you never found fault. So
why expect it different now.”
——A little tot saying her prayers
was asked by her mother why she had
not asked God’s forgiveness for some
act of disobedience. “Why, mamma,
I didn’t s’pose you wanted it mentioned
outside the family.’”
——Abraham Lineoln used to tell a
story about two men who made a for-
tune in Kentucky. One of them minded
his own business and the other left other
people’s business alone. Both of them
got rick, lived long and died happy.

ers six feet long and correspondingly
thick. The only wind that can blow
through them is a cyclone,
