~ Farm Notes.
It is estimated to take 55,000 tons ot
twine to bind the average annual grain
crop of this county.
Do not attempt to hasten the germi-
nation of seed by soaking in warm wa-
ter unless it is a hard and healthy seed.
The Russian mulberry is a rapid
grower, and makes durable timoer. It
is said to be as good as cedar for fence
posts.
Extremes of heat and cold affect all
classes of stock. Warmth in winter
and shade in summer must be provid-
ed or the animals will not thrive.
Pigs farrowed in the summer are too
late for making large hogs and too ear-
ly tobe kept over for next season.
Such pigs may be used for roadsters,
and find ready sale in the market.
There is room on every farm for
some hogs, but the number that can
be kept to the best advantage must be
gauged by the different conditions un-
der which the farmer is working.
Every one of onr hens that has had
:a chance to sit on the ground has done
well. The higher and dryer we have
made the nests the wo:se the failure
has been.— Rural New Yorker.
There are two objections to using
racks for hay in preference to mangers:
One is the liability of the stock geting
seeds of various kinds in the eyes, and
the other is the dauger of injuring
them in putting hay into the racks
with a fork.
Professor Baily suggests as a remedy
for the cureulio that carholized plaster
be applied profusely to the tree when
the dew is on. To make this powder
stir one pint of crude carbolic acid into
fifty pounds of land plaster, or quick
lime may be slacked with the acid.
There is no security to the farmer
against failure of a crop. He has the
seasons and the insects to combat. But
the farmer can at least grow more than
one kind of crop, and thus save him-
gelf from total loss. It is not a wise
farmer who will place full reliance on
a single crop. :
The pasture is a poor place for a
cow if no shade is to be had. The di-
rect rays of the sun and the attacks of
insects will do more to cause a shrink-
age in the yield of milk than is gained
by attempting to make the pasture pro-
vide the food. Cowsshould be kept at
the barn when occasion demands.
The annoyances from flies and in-
sects cause animals to lose flesh rap-
idly. A work horse that has done ser-
vice during the day requires rest at
night in order to be refreshed for the
next day’s labor. Screens should be
affixed to the windows to prevent en-
trance of flies, and the stables should
be kept clean. ;
Fully matured bulls are better for
breeding purposes than younger ones.
If a bull becomes ugly and dangerous
as he grows older he should be kept
penned up constantly except when he
1 taken out for exercise. If the
animal is broked to do hauling and
other farm work it wiil take considera-
ble of the ugliness out of him.
For August the hogs should have
more than the usual attention. The
hot, dry weather that is often experien-
ced requires it, the pastures dry up,
and the water is apt to fail. By all
means do not depend on pond or pool
water for the hogs. A pool that is fed
only by rains will not furnish the pure
water required for hogs to thrive on,
1t pays to feed meal to cows giving
milk, and if a cow insists on having it
every time she does a good turn by
forcing us to be regular. Of all losses
incurred by American farmers scarcely
any is greater than that which comes
from allowing cows to fail in their milk
for, want of sufficient food of a kind
that answers their requirements,
The Mirror and Farmer calls atten-
tion to the fact that geese can do good
work on any location overrun with
weeds when the weeds are young.
Many kinds of young weeds are prefer-
red to grass by the geese, and especial-
ly plaintain and purslane. Geese go
right down to the roots of the plants,
and effectually keep them down if the
flock is a-large one.
The coming farmer will have better
implements and machinery with which
to cultivate his farm. He will employ
his mind to rest his hands. He will
do more headwork on the farm. He will
aid in uniting the agricultural interests
of his neighborhood into a union of
strength, a power that will be available
at all times in the maintenance and
protection of honest labor and Ameri-
can production.
An apiarian in Field and Farm says:
The much complained of foul brood in
. bees could be easily eradicated and
. kept out if every man having bees
would destroy the swarm having it and
then burn the oid hive in which they
lived. There are too many men who
will not do it unless some one will pay
them for their loss. What would. you
. think of a man who would not remove
a dead horse from his own premises
until his neighbors would pay him for
doing it? The'two cases are very par-
allel.
Don't give apple trees such low heads
that a horse and cart cannot be driven
around in the orchard quite close to
them. It is convenient to pick fruit
standing on the ground, but the incon-
venience of low trees overbalance that
advantage. If the branches start from
the trunk five feet from the’ ground,
and the pruning is properly done after-
ward, a pair of seven-foot cattle or 15%
hand horses can be driven along as
closely to the trees in plowing the or-
chard as is necessary without interfer
1 ing with the branches.
Where the Patents Come From.
Most of the women inventors of the
country live in New England and the
Middle States. Few patents are taken
out by Southern women, but quite a
number come from the West. Massa-
chusetts has more inventive ladies than
any other part of New England. Helen
Marr, of Boston, has invented a patent
dressing case ard washstand combined,
Mrs. Carpenter has a metal halter, for
hitehing horses on the street, and Miss
Mary Barber, another Massehusetts girl,
has a patent pie-lifter, by which you can
take a pie from the baking pan without
burning your fingers. One of the best
cutting machines for trimming the
leaves of books is the patent of a
Massachusetts lady named Semple, and
it is used by the leading publishers of
the country.
money made in ironing boards, A Bos-
ton girl named Parker has a kitchen
table and ironing board combined,
which can be folded up and packed
away in a trunk. There are patent
beds by Massachusetts ladies, patent
corsets, patent griddle greasers, and a
hundred and cone other new ideas put
into mercantile shape. Connecticut
women have invented dust-pans, fire-
escapes, and there is one woman in
Providence, Rhode Island, who has a
patent chimney.
amram C—O
Growth of American Cities.
Tt is clear that the cities of the United
States have grown fast enogh, although
the larger of them have scarcely equaled
the general rate of increase throughout
the country. No other nation on earth
has more than one city containing a
million inhabitants, not even the great
British Empire with its 200,000,000 peo-
ple and one-sixth of the land
surface of the globe. The esti-
mates which give other Chinese cities
than Canton 1,000,000 inhabitants or
upward are unreliable, and not to be
placed beside census figures. There are
now certainly two cities in the United
States which have more than one mil-
lion inhabitants, and Chicago, thanks to
the annexation of great suburban dis-
tricts, will probably either pass Phila-
delphia or be right onthe heels of the
Quaker City, making tbree American
cities above the million line. New
York, Philadelphia and Chicago togeth-
er have more people than there were in
the United States at the close of the
Revolution. Ten cities of the Great
Republic have nearly 7,000,000 inhabi-
tants, and a baker’s dozen can be pick-
ed out with about as ‘many people as
there are in Ireland and Scotland to-
gether, or in Switzerland, Greece and
Denmark esmbined. — Cleveland Leader
“TRAVELLING SToNES’’—The curious
“travelling stones” of Australia are par-
alleled in Nevada. They are described
as being perfectly round, about as large
as a walnut, and of an ivory nature.
when distributed about on the floor, table,
ov any other level surface within two or
three feet of each other they immediate-
ly begin traveliing toward each other
until they meet at a common centre and
there huddle up 1n a bunch, like eggs in
amnest. A single stone removed to a
distance of four feet, upon being released,
returns to the heap, but if taken away
five feet remains motionless. Tt is need-
less tosay that they are largely com-
posed of magnetic iron ore.

Ink StarNs.—Ink stains on mahog-
any funiture will disappear if treated as
follows : Put six drops of nitre into a
teaspoonful of water, and touch the
stained part with a feather dipped in the
mixture. Immediately after this, rub
with a soft cloth and cold water to pre-
vent mark.
—To take iron rust cut of white
goods, pour a teacupful of boiling wa-
ter ; siretch the goods tightly across the
top of it ; then pour on a little of the
solution of exalic acid dissolved in wa-
ter, and rub it with the edge of a tea-
spoon or anything. If it does not come
out at once, dip it down into the hot
water and rub again.
SHALL WOMEN BE ALLOWED TO
Vore ? —The question of female suf-,
ferage has agitated the tongues and pens
of reformers for many years, and good
argurnents have been adduced for and
against it. Many of the softer sex
could vote intelligently, and many would
vote as their husbands did, and give no
thought to the merits of a political issue.
They would all vote for Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription, for they know it
is a boon to their sex. It is unequal
for lencorrhea, abnormal discharges,
morning sickness, and the countless ills
to which women are subject. It is the
only remedy for woman’s peculiar weak-
nesses and ailments, sold by druggists
under a positive guarantee from the
manufacturers that it will give satis-
faction in every case, or money will be
refunded. See guarantee on wrapper
