Farm ‘Notes.
Pen up your wethers and make them
fat before selling them, by feeding
them grain liberally.
Experiment stations ought to show
the world before long what are the best
modes for wintering apples, says an ex-
change.
The New York Tvibune says;
“Planting young trees to grow into liv-
ing fence-posts is making the posts dig
their own holes and set themselves.”
Sprinkle currant bushes well with
water, says the New York Zribune,
and then dust thoroughly with fine
coal ashes. This drives off the currant
worm,
The hens that are shedding their
feathers (molting) need very nourish-
ing food, as the process is debilitating,
and often results fatally.
The farmer who grows grass has the
most valuable aid to be desired. With
grass as a foundationthere should be no
limit to the capacity of a farm to pro-
duce crops.
Pine tar is harmless and costs but
little. Apply it to the troughs from
which sheep drink. A small quantity
of it on the noses of sheep will defend
them against the gad fly.
Leave a patch of turnips in the
ground for a supply of spring greens.
If covered with straw and cornstalks
the turnips will keep in the ground all
winter and begin growth early in the
spring.
Parchment paper is the right thing
for wrapping butter in. It will not
stick, is air-proof, water-proof, tasteless
and oderless, besides being cheaper and
cleaner than cloth.
Use up all the old straw before be-
ginning on the new. Cut it up fine
with the fodder-cutter and make bed-
ding of it, and when it is added to the
manure heap it will decompose easily
and also assist in absorbing liquids.
Stagnant water kills a great many
fruit trees, and still they need a great
deal of water, says an exchange. A
well-drained soil, through which an ex-
cess of water readily passes, is the best
undoubtedly’ if well cultivated.
Fruits that propagate from suckers
should always be planted where the
grower can get all around them—nev-
er against a fence or in a garden corner.
Neglect of this precaution will soon in-
sure a thicket, says a writer.
To prevent insects from depositing
their eggs upon plants when in flower,
spray the latter with a solution of one
part of vinegar to ten parts of water.
This treatment has given excellent re-
sults at the School of Arboriculture at
Lyons.
Ripening cream does not mean rot-
ting it. Cream that stands until the
whey begins to separate is simply rot.
ten cream, and batter made from it is
spoiled beforehand, and of course has
neither quality nor life. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
The enterprising fruit-grower will
visit other orchards than his own as
“opportunity offers, says a writer. When
he finds things better than at home it
.inspires him to greater effort; when
his own orchard appears the best i:
‘makes him feel satisfied and contented.
Mr. Samuel B. Green, in Farm and
Fireside, says this upon the subject of
mulching orchards ; “The best mulch
is a loose top soil. Any material spread
over the surface induces the small roots
to come to the top, stimulates to a late
fall growth, and damages the next
crop.”
Both the stallion and the ‘bull will
be mare serviceable for breeding pur-
poses if made to take exercise in the
shape of useful work of some kind. If
the bull will not work in the shafts, or
by the side of an ox, put him on the
tread machine to furnish power for the
cutter or feed-mill.
Remove all surplus honey at the
close of the honey season if “intended
for market. Comb honey will become
solid if left in the hives during the
summer. The upper stories or surplus
chambers should be leftin the hives
throughout the hot weather and until
feeding is done in the fall.
Look out for late swarms! The bees
may be lacking in stores and are liable
to swarm out and leave. They must
be supplied with honey or united with
other colonies. Also look out for
queenless colonies at this time of the
season. If colonies are left queenless
any length of time robbers will destroy
them.
It is not always the best and most
-elaborate poultry-houses that shelter
‘the choicest stock. Success, however,
‘mainly depends on warm, dry Coops,
‘with proper care and management and
freedom from overcrowding. This lat-
"ter trouble is often the cause of ill-suc-
cess. If you wish a healthy flock keep
few in a pen.
The guinea is a very useful fowl, |
‘notwithstanding their peculiarities, In
‘their wanderings over the farm they
«destroy numerous insect enemies and
weed-seeds, and do little ‘damage to
crops by scratching and eating, They
lay a large number of eggs, which,
» though small, are of good quality and |
nutritious.
Manure is simply food that has un- |
While corn is, perhaps, the cheapest
grain that can be fed to hogs, yet it is
not the best. Wheat middlings and
bran make better pork than will corn.
The practice of allowing grass and
weeds to grow in the corn rows after
the ears are formed is unwise. The
corn land should be kept clean until
the crop is harvested. Every weed
that grows robs the corn of just that
proportion of plant food and prevents
larger'ears and heavier grain, as well
as distributing the seeds for a crop of
weeds next season.
THE PoNDEROUS CENTENNIAL OX. —
The Centennial ox, bred by Samuel
Barkley, of Somerset County, Penna.,
was the largest specirnen of the bovine
the world has ever seen. He weighed 4-
900 pounds the day he arrived in Phila-
delpnia. This mountain of beef was of
mixed stock, being Shorthorn, Native
“Scrub” and Ayreshire, the Shorthorh
predominating. After the exhibition
was ended the giant ox was butchered
and exhibited as ‘show beef’'— New
York Dispatch.
CrEAM ToAst--Cut slices of stale
light bread—baker’s if you have 1t—
into rounds with a cake cutter, leaving
not a bit of crust. Toast to a fine yellow
brown. A scorched or blackened crumb
is fatal to the excellence of the dish.
Butter while hot, sprinkle lavishly with
salt, lay in a bowl, silver or stout ware
that will stand fire and pour scalding
milk in until the toast is covered two
inchesdeep. Set covered in an open
fire tor five minutes. By this time the
milk should all be absorbed. Lift each
slice carefully with a broad knife far
enough to pour over it a tablespoonful
of cream. Taste a crumb to be sure
the seasoning is right. Most people
make milk toast too fresh.
if necessary, cover closely and return to
a moderate oven for ten minutes. Serve
in the bowl, if it is presentable; if not,
transfer carefully to a heated china
bowl or saucer. The toast will be tender,
puffy, relishful and exceedingly digesti-
ble.
Country Newspaper Publishers.
Many people think: country news-
paper men are persistent dunners. But
by way of comparison, let us suppose
that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of
wheat a year, and sells this out to 1,-
000 persons in all parts of the country, a
great portion of them saying : “I will
hand you a dollar in a short time.” The
farmer don’t wan't to be small and will
say all right. Soon the 1,000 bushels
are gone, but he has nothing to show for
it, and then he realizes that he has frit-
tered away his whole crop and that its
value to bim is due him in a thousand
little driblets, consequently he is serious-
ly inconvenienced, because his debtors,
each owing only $1, treat 1t as a small
matter, and think it would not help
much. Continue this kind of business
Year in and year out as the publisher
does, how long would the farmer stand
it? .
|
‘dergone a change in the body of the |
animal. If food be thrown on the
ground it will become manure to the |
soil and give beneficial effects ; but the |
advantage ia feeding the food to ani- |
‘mals is that the food is sooner decom-
‘posed within the body of the animal,
and ‘therefore more immediately as-
sumes that form by which it is taken
up by plants. It also undergoes a
“farther process of decomposition in the
-soi] after it has passed through the
animal. The more thoroughly decom-
posed the manure the more readily it is
assimilated by plants.
Old Hickory’s Pronunciation.
President Andrew Jackson’s education
had been so much neglected that he did
not even believe that the world is round;
and his ignorance of pronunciation often
led him to direct the direst vengeance on
the Knglish language. Among the
words that he was accustomed to stretch
upon the rack was the word ‘“develope-
ment.” On a certain occasion, when he
was conversing, during his Presidency,
with a foreign minister, the latter no.
ticing his erroneous pronunciation of
the word, embraced the opportunity to
use it himself, giving it correctly. Old
Hickory’s quick senses were instantly
on the alert, and his intense patriotism
and unrivaled pluck were both in aras
against what he considered this nnwar-
rantable foreign interference with
American pronunciation. So he at once
used the word again—“devil-ope-ment?’’
—with an ‘ope’ which could not be
mistaken even by ambassadorial ears.
Bat the foreign functionary, determined
to play the schoolmaster to the end, once
more took occasion to speak of the ce-
velopement of something orother. That
was a little too much for Oid Hickory.
“See here, Mr. Ambassador,” he ex-
claimed, “you may say ‘de-vel-opment’
as often as you please, but I shall always
say devii-ope-ment as long as the
memory of my old teacher (and here he
he gave his teacher's name) remains
green !”’

quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
istence, that we address,
Those who use no-

need nothing,—who live
on expectation, hope or
some intangible nothing,
will save time by passing
this column by. It isnot
intended for; them but the
other fellows. We write
what is here put down for
the people who are mortal
enough to get hungry, and
in consequence of getting
hungry are sensible enough
to try to get what is good,
pure, wholesome and nec-
essary, at prices that don’t
require them to lay out all
that they earn, to appease
their appetites. We have
been in the hunger appeas-
ing business for many,
many years. We know
what men want, we know
what women and children
desire, and we know how
much better and how much
more pleasantit jis tolre-
side in a community where
people enjoy good health,
than among dyspeptic com-
plainers, growlers and suf-
ferers. To have healthy
people pure food must be
used. We understand this,
and understanding it, keep
nothing but the pursst of
everything' that can be
found ini the market. To
satisfy the demands of the
many different stomachs
that we try to gratify, re-
quires a vast variety of
dainties, condiments and
relishes, as well as the sub-

there is nothing that is ea
able, relishable or appetiz-
ing, that we do not keep.
