© Farm Notes. nee
An old fruit grower in the New York
Tribune says that for every dollar he
spends in thinning fruit he reaps a pro-
fit of $5. Good pay and good for the
trees.
In budding, the best size of the stock
is about half an inch in diameter; but
with care smaller trees can be budded,
and much larger ones. Special care is
required, however, with stocks of un-
usual size, and beginners will do better
by working on those of half an inch,
Cabbage plants from fall-sown seeds
are thought to give earlier heads than
those from springsown. Sow the seeds
toward the close of September, and
winter the plantsin a cold frame. These
plants can be set out earlier, and they
are not checked by cold weather after-
ward, as often happens to plants.
One of the most important items in
feeding, and one that is very frequently
overlooked, is regularity. Health and
thrift are both promoted by feeding
stock of all kinds at regular hours.
All classes of stock will fret if the time
passes for their meal and they do not
receive it, and whenever sthey are fret-
ting they are losing.
Probably the Chester Whites are as
hardy as any breed, and they grow
rapidly, having no superior for cross-
ing on common stock. Cholera is due
to causes and not to peculiarity of
breeds, though inbreeding may impair
vigor and induce the disease. Any
person claiming to possess cholera-
proof hogs should be mistrusted.
An old Galveston Island truck farm-
er says: ‘For cabbage, beets and
cauliflower a heavy dressing of salt ap-
plied in the fall or early winter will be
very valuable. Much less than one
thousand pounds to the ace will do no
good. The finest crop of cabbage I
ever made was in the fall of 1875, im-
mediately after the great overflow.”
A pound of butter per week for each
cow may make the difference between
profit or loss. This difference depends
on the kind of cow. It pays to use only
the best. If your cowsare not up to
the required standard, grade up the
herd with the use of thoroughbred
males. Never allow a scrub bull on
the farm, even if the scrub cow is given
a place.
Ensilage has been the means where
it is fed of doing away with that ter-
ribly provoking nuisance—long corn-
stalks in the manure pile. Every farm-
er who has tried to load manure with
long cornstalks in it on a wagon will
admit there is no languge adequate to
describe the performance and the ten-
dency it had toward making a man lose
his patience.
H. P. Hopkins, of New York, avers
that every time he churns unripe cream
he loses. Hesays: “When cream is
a trifle acid it is sufficiently ripened, I
prefer a concussion churn to the frie-
tion churn. White specks in butter
come from coagulation of the milk,
which settles to the bottem of the cans.
They should be washed out properly.”
In flavor, no large chestnuts and no
European or Japan chestnuts, either
large or small, are equal to our native
small nuts if eaten raw, as they lack
the sweet delicate flavor which is the
standard of delicacy in nuts,and in most
large nuts the skin contains much as-
tringency, but when boiled there is but
very little difference between the vari-
ous Sorts.
Do not look for a general-purpose
sheep, advises a Western shepherd.
All breeds produce wool and lambs;
some excel in one point and some in
the other. Decide what your location
demands for a leading characteristic
and then go and getit. If you have a
flock of coarse, roomy-bodied sheep,
get a Merino buck to improve the wool,
or a Southdown for early lambs.
Farmers complain of their severe
work, and yet while knowing that the
same amount of hay, grain or potatoes
can be grown on half the land now us-
ed for the purpose, and with much less
labor, they calmly keep on in the old
way of getting small return from large
acres. Not only can a crop be increas-
ed; but two crops can frequently be
grown with profit on the same field in
one season.
In France the poultry industry is
recognized by the Government, and it
is owing to this fact that the Houdan
fowls have attained their reputation as
the best table fowls. The French peo-
ple are great epicures, and they have
succeeded in breeding the Houdans
with full, round breasts, with meat ten-
der and juicy, and these fowls, for the
same number of pounds, will dress
more than any other breed.
The New York Tribune says that
tests at the Ohio Experiment Station
led to the conclusion that in very many,
if not the majority of cases, neither
wheat nor corn will return sufficient
increase of crop to cover cost of any
arlificial fertilizer, at present prices of
grain and fertilizers respectively. This,
comments the Indiana Farmer, is about
the result arrived at by the experiment.
ers at Purdue.
For both potato-rot aud bugs the
Bordeaux mixture, containing six
pounds of copper (blue vitriol) and four
pounds of lime to twenty-two gallons
of water, with one pound of London-
purple added to each 100 gallons of the
mixture, was used by the Ohio Experi-
ment station last year, the vines being
sprayed on May 27, June 26, June 29
and July 16. Blight appeared about
the middle of June and did serious
damage for the next six weeks on such
plants as were not sprayed. The spray-
ed vines showed much less injury, re-
maining green after the others were
dead, and yielded a profitable crop,
while the blighted and unsprayed por-
tion of the field was practically a fail-
ure. The tubers on the treated por-
tions were also much more free from
scab.
Senator Jones’ Grub Stake,
A Thousand Dollars He Loaned a Mi-
ner Brought Him Millions.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, is one of
your self made men. He commenced
life poor. But a year old when his pa-
rents came from Herefordshire, Eng-
land, he has made his way to the top
by dint of hard work and the exercise
of considerable shrewdness. Like Sen-
ator Saunders, of Montana, who made
his first ten strike out of a claim he
staked out in a grave yard, Senator
Jones's first streak of luck was purely
accidental, as nearly all streaks of luck
are.
The story goes that when Jones was
in Cahfornia he stumbled across tis pile
in the following remarkable manner :
He lived in a certain county that Bret
Harte made famous—Tuolumne, the
veracious chronicler asserts—and during
the gold excitement kept a small gro-
cery store. He did a thriving trade ;
prices were high in those days in Cali-
fornia, and after a few years Jones had
amassed a few thousand dollars. Up
the mountain a piece lived a solitary
miner. He was poor, had the reputa-
tion of being shiftless, but despite the
report was always busy.
One day he called on Jones.
“Say Jones, I think I’ve got a bonan-
za in that claim of mine,” said the
miner.
Jones smiled. He had heard these
stories before. He knew how great ex-
pectations were frequently never real-
ized. Time, labor and money were usu-
ally wasted on what looked like some-
‘thing rich, but what developed into
snares ; so Jones merely smiled.
, “It’s a big thing,” persisted his visi-
tor, and he proceeded to explain what
the claim was and his reasons for being
so sanguine. After several hours’ talk
the miner asked for an advance of $1,000
‘with which to buy tools and food. Jones
demurred. A thousand dollars was a
big enough sum, saved as it had been,
with much trouble and labor. But after
all $1,000 cut no figure in comparsion
with the profits of a good mine. Jones
finally told the miner he would see what
could be done.
After nightfall and the Chinamen en-
ployed in the neighborhood had taken
their departure, Mr. Jones allowed the
embers of his fire to die out. When sat-
isfied no one was about he scraped away
the ashes, raised the stone on which the
fire was built, and weighed out the ne-
cessary gold dust to make $1,000. These |
little precautions were always taken in |
that region, where even robbers were
more plentiful than fortunes,
The tools were bought, Jones lending
the money and the miner promising him
one-third of the profits of the mine. For
months thesolitary miner labored, but
he did not strike the lead. He grew
wan and hollow eyed, ond occasionally
dropped in to see Jones. The latter had
by this time abandoned all hope of ever
seeing his money again.
“There’s no gold up there,” he would
inform the exhausted miner.
“Yes there is,” insisted the latter, “if
I could only strike it.”
Affairs were becoming desperate with
the hopeful but penniless man. One
day he called on Jones and, after cough-
ing apologetically, asked for some meal
and bacon. He knew he would be suc-
cessful eventually with his search, but
provisions were out. Jones smiled
gain.
“It’s like throwing it in a rat hole,”
he cheerfully observed as he dug out a
side of bacon and gathered up a sack of
corn meal for his luckless partner. For
four months nothing was heard of the
old fellow, and Jones presumed he had
either gone away or bad died at his post
up the gulch. Both suppositions were
erroneous. The miner dashed into the
store one day irradiated with joy. He
had really struck his bonanza. The
mine was sold for $3,000,000, and, faith-
ful to his promise, the honest miner
gave Jones one third of it. Senato,
Jones’s prosperity dated from thay
time.

It is only those who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
fstence, that we address,
Those who use mno-
thing,—who think they
need nothing,—who live
on expectation, hope or
some intangible nothing,
will save time by passing
this eolumn by. It is not
intended for them but the
other fellows. We write
what is here put aown for
the peoplewho 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 neec-
essary, at prices that don’t
reve 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 beiter and how much
more pleasant it is to re-
side in a community where
people enjoy good health,
than amongrdyspeptic 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 purest of
everything that can be
found in| 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-
stantials; and knowing this
there is nothing that is eat-
able, relishable or appetiz-
ing, that we do not keep.
It is for you who want, or
use anything eatable, eith-
er as meats, fish, groceries,
fruits, nuts, relishes, or in
fact anything from a piece
of chewing gum to a first
class beef steak, that we
write and pay ithe printer
to print this invitation [for
you to come and see us.
Ifyou live in town drop
in and see what all we have
and what quality of goods
we carry.
Ifyou live in the.country
come in the first time you
come to town and learn how
easy it is to get good, pure,
fresh groceries, as low if
not lower than many have
been in the habit of paying
for old, impure and
strengthlessarticles of diet.
