Farm Notes.
A few monthssince a barn of my
figighbor, Cliarles Taylor, writes John
Gould, of Ohio; was consumed by fire.
In one bay of his barn was a wooden
silo, holding about ene hundred and
twenty-five tons. The wooden shell of
the silo was burned eompletely off,
leaving the silage standing. It was
found that less than six inches of the
surface and sides were spoiled. A new
“shell” was put about it as soon as
possible. The burned portions were
first removed, and the sides again
tramped with fresh silage from the
surface. It is not expected that the
quality of the silage will be as perfect
as would have been under more favor-
able conditions.
An economical food, and a fairly nu-
tritious one for pigs is peas, which can
be grown as the first or second crop on
some gravelly, loamy and moderately
rich soil. About two bushels of com-
mon peas should be sown to the acre,
the soil having been properly pulver-
ized and prepared beforehand. When
they are ripe pick enough for seed and
then turn the pigs into the field. Pigs
that have been fed on corn through the
winter will enjoy this change, and fat-
tenup for early market. No corn
should be given them, but this should
be saved for winter. After the pigs
have eaten the peas the ground will be
in fine condition for wheat. If it is
not desirable to turn the pigs in the
field the vines can be raked up and
stacked, and fed to them at pleasure ;
but this involves unnecessary work in
‘the busiest time of the year.
Farmers can form no estimate of the
loss of manure during the warm sea-
son, as the volatile matter, being invis-
ible, gives no indication of its disap-
pearance except from odor, which sim-
ply makes known the fact that decom-
position is occurring in the heap. The
object of heaping mgnure is not only a
matter of economy of space but also to
reduce the manure to a fine condition,
and to render it as available as possible
for plant food ; but the dezree of de-
composition of the manure depends
largely on the temperature of the at.
mosphere, the amount of absorbent
material in the heap, the composition
of the food from which the manure
was made, and the amount of urine
‘mixed with the solids.
The presence of the peach-boter
may be known by the appearance of
gum, which should be scraped away.
Clean the tree hy sponging with water,
first removing the dirt from around
the trunk a little. The next day the
‘work of the borer may be seen by the
appearance of what seems like finesaw-
dust. Now run a knife blade in after
him, or a piece of sharp wire. If the
borer is not watched it will soon de-
stroy the tree.
Tt is perhaps cheaper to pasture the
cows where the land is cheap, and on
large farms. but it will not pay on val-
uable small farms. To use five acres
instead of one is to lose the use of four
acres. The soiling system will at
some future time revolutionize the pres-
ent methods, the discovery of the pre-
servation of green foods in the silo be-
ing the first step in that direction.
A German scientist states that when
milk is first drawn from a healthy cow,
it contains no microbes, but after two
hours exposure he estimated that 25,-
000 were present in half a cubic inch.
The higher the temperature of the milk
the greater the number of microbes.
The same thing occurs in the fermer-
tation of beer, but, he says the mi-
crobes are harmless.
It is no easier to keep poultry than,
to keep other stock, as labor and prop-
er management must be used to meet
success. Less capital may be required
in poultry,but it must be judiciously ex-
pended, ora loss can result as easily
as from any other source. Experience
is of more value than capital in pounl-
try raising.
Professor Fernald reports that an
ant hill near a house, which was do-
ing much damage to a Jawn, was ex-
terminated by making'holes in the hill
fifteen inches apart with a small stick
and pouring two or three teaspoonfull
of bi-sulphate of carbon into each hole;
aftor which all the holes were closed
up and the earth pressed down by step-
ping on it.
The successful and profitable keep-
ing and rearing of poultry, either for
home use or market, and especially
where they cannot have their liberty,
depends wholly upon good manage-
ment, and upon strict compliance with
numerous essential, though simple re-
quisites—any of which being omitted,
only partial success at most can be ob-
tained.
Unruly cattle on a farm are very
troublesome, but the cause is not hard
to find. It is almost invariably poor
pasture and sewmistarvation. Why
shouldn't a huogry animal jump fences
or push them down ?
No farm animal will make a surer
return in proportion to care given than
a cow. Good care to cows will be the
way out of the agricultural depression,
in connection, of course, with enlight-
ened marketing of dairy products,
Hardy shrubs and flowers should be
selected with a view of having a sup-
ply of flowers from spring until autumn,
As some flowers bloom early and oth-
ers late, selections of varieties best
suited to soil and for each month will
greatly assist in ornamenting the gar.
den until frost appears.
In shipping young poultry see that
they are well watered and fed before
cooping, and do not crowd too many
into the coops.
Plant flowers, shrubs and vives
about the house to add to its attractive-
ment your surroundings.
He Breaks His Silence.
But Not on the Subject Most Interest-
ing to the People.
Chester County Democrat.
We notice that Mr. Quay deigned a
few days ago to make some reply to
eharges ina New York paper to the
effect that he had been bribed by cer-
tain linen importers in New York to in-
fluence the shaping of the Tariff bill in
their interest. This shows that Mr.
Quay ean open his mouth. But why
does he notopen it when he is charged
daily and circumstantially by the most
powerful newspapers in the United
States with scandalous offenses and when
they taunt him to come forward and
silence them if he dares ? The fact is
that the charges concerning the linen
importers of New York were really false
in far as Mr.Quay was alleged to be im-
plicated, and it was therefore easy tor
him to step to the front and make a
virtuous ané indignant denial. But in
the far more important matter of his al-
leged embezzling from the State Treas-
ury he has not the courage to meet his
accusers faee to face, and he lacks the
courage beeause he has no case of his
own. His only refuge is silence, and si-
lence is contession.
CrocoraTe Cory Stare. — Milk, 1
quart ; eggs, 2; corn starch, 2 table-
spoonfuls ; sugar, a large half cupful;
chocolate, one-half cupful. Boil the
milk in a vessel set in water ; add the
sugar and corn starch dissolved in a
little milk ; boil five or ten minutes,
then add the yolks of the eggs, well
beaten, and mixed with a little milk
stirring all the time for two or three
minut:s; now turn out into the mould-
ing dish. Now, have the rest of the
sugar and milk and chocolate all dis-
solved and well mixed tegether, heat
it and pour it over the preparation ;
now add he whites of the eggs, well
beaten, with a little sugar by spread-
ing it over the top, ret it. in the oven
two minutes. Serve cold, without
sauce.
Woolen hosiery and underwear
costing thirty-two cents a pound started
out just 100 years ago with a protective
duty of 5 per cent. These goods bave
gradually climbed up the protective lad-
der till now McKinley puts on a duty of
214 per cent. When do stockings cease
to need protection ? Is this a decent way
for our stockings to celebrate a century
of protection ?
‘Why continue the use of irrita-
ting powders, snuffs or liquids. Ely’s
Cream Balm, pleasant of application
and a sure cure for catarrh and cold in
the head, can be had for 50c. Itis easi-
ly applied into the nostrils, is safe and
pleasant, and is curing the most obsti-
nate cases. It give relief at once.
—— William Waldorf Astor, since
he became the richest man in America,
has the gloomiest expression of face
conceivable, his former cheerful de-
meanor having entirely departed. is
head hangs forward like that of a man
who is weighed down by responsibil-
fashion. -
——The United States has about
thirty acres of land to each inhabitant,
while England has less than two acres.
This is what keeps wages up in America
and makes the problem of bread win-
ning easier here thanin England Yet
protectionists assure us that nothing
but the tariff can cause good wages and
keep us all from going to ruin.
——1Itis a very common thing for
young housekeepers to scorch their linen
when learning to iron. Do not be dis-
couraged. Wax your irons thoroughly
and keep them ina dry piace. This
will prevent their sticking. If you find
a scorched place expose it to the hottest
rays of the sun. It will be obliterated
in a short time.

——The Japanese are a gentle, sensi-
tive race, very much under the influ-
ence of their emotions. Love with
them is a serious matter ; often one of
life or death. Dissapointments in love
or deserition, frequently ends in sui-
cide. The passiont which thrill and
torment the human soul are as intense
in faraway heathens Japan as in those
lands which boast a heigher civiliza-
tion-
“HAp BEEN WORRIED EIGHTEEN
Years.”—It should have read ‘“mar-
ried.” but the proof-reader observed
that it amounted to about the same
thing, and so did not draw his blue pen-
eil through the error. Unfortunately
there was considerable truth in his ob-
servation. Thousands of husbands are
constantly worried almost to despair by
the ill health that afflicts their wives,
and often robs life of comfort and hap-
piness. There is but one safe and sure
way to change all this for the better.
