Farm Notes.
With cattle in many cases it will be
more profitable to sell when grass-fed.
It requires good management to grain-
feed cattle now with profit,
Times have changed on the farm as
well as everywhere else, and that for
successful farm husbandry the man
must know why as well as how.—
Maine Farmer.
To stake raspberries and blackberries
is a needless and wasteful practice.
Pinch or cut back properly, and they
will support all the fruit they ought to
bear without stakes. Staking is about
as sensible as to prop up an overladen
tree.
Experiments show that Paris green
is preferable to London purple as an
insecticide on peach trees. One part of
Paris green to 300 parts of water is the
proportion used. The London purple,
though efficacious, injures the leaves
of the trees.
Pear blight is less abundant in orch-
ards where but fair growth is made
than among trees forced along by
strong manures. Moderate growth well
ripened is the best for pears. For this
reason in districts where blight abounds
the trees are often grown in sod.
A good, well-kept, tasteful farm, with
good buildings, handsome animals and
fine crops, advertises its owner's quali-
ties, and you conclude at once that he
isn’t badly depressed nor hankering to
go West. The East is a pretty good
place if one only thinks so.
Teach the boy to do his farm work
go that it will be admired, and you give
him something to think about that
adds rest to his work. Teach him to be
as neat'and tasteful in his work as in
dress, and you develop valuable quali-
ties, such as may hold him to the
farm.
Professor Baily suggests as a remedy
for the curculio that carbolized 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.
Pekin ducks reached nearly seven
pounds each when 12 weeks old on
some farms this season. The breed is
one that is fast becoming known all
over the country. As much as a pound
in one week has been gained by in-
dividual ducks that were highly fed
and pushed forward rapidly.
No farmer, no matter how wealthy,
influential and seemingly independent,
can afford to hold himself aloof from
the general movement which is now
manifest in agricultural communities
to unite the farmers and secure for
themselves a better recognition of their
interests in the halls of legislation.
Jonathan Taicott says in the New
York Examiner that his way of pro-
tecting sheep from dogs is to house
them at night and let them ran in
pasture with a herd of horned cattle in
the ‘daytime. He keeps no dog, and
his cattle look on all dogs as enemies
and make short work of them when
they come near.
Whale-oil soap and carbolic acid, in
quantity of one pound of soap to one
ounce of acid, dissolved in five gallons
of warm water, will keep the borer out
of apple trees. Apply two or three
times during the growth season. If
the egg is already laid watch and kill
the borer as soon as its work begins to
appear.
Farmers who grow oats and cut the
crop when the grain is in the milky
stage save thrashing and handling of
the grain. If oats are cut in the green
condition the nutrition that would be
deposited in the grain is arrested in the
stalk, and the result is that the straw
is not only more nutritious but more
digestible. In preparing the ground
for oats another season keep the above
in view.
Orchard grass matures seed, but they
will not come up well unless the
ground is stirred so as to cover them.
A good harrowing or two will suffice
to do this. Stock will not eat the. dry
portion af the grass; indeed, they do
not relish orchard after it gets old.
But as fresh leaves continue to spring
up from the roots, if the weather is not
too dry, cattle will feed upon these.
It is quite a common practice to graze
orchard grass in autumn.
Cities, villages and surburban towns
are giving “the shake” to fences. Of
what use are they, anyhow? They
cost a great deal to keep up, and, since
cattle are not allowed to run at large,
are of no possible use ; while as to or-
nament—don’t speak of it. An ever-
green hedge is ten times more orna-
mental, but even that has little to ex-
«use it when neighbors are really
neighbors. Let the square be a park
with many houses iu it, all sharing its
sbeputies in common.
‘The American Cultivator remarks
i that.the popular but most mistaken no-
tion ig that deep seeding is somehow a
a protection against winter killing by
‘the ground heaving and thawing. Ex-
perience and observation is largely
. curing : farmers of this delusion. A
weak germ will grow near the surface,
and the anly advantage of putting seed
wheat in deeply, and that a doubtful
one, is to kill off the germs of weaken:
ed vilality, and allow only the strong
. er to survive.
i Look over the fences. This is the
season when stock at pasture is inclin-
..ed to roam, seeking fresh grasses and
! better pasturage. It is far better to
mend the fence before the stock breaks
over it. Better still to have good
fences that are not getting out of re-
pair and tumbling down, Put some
of that spare money into good cedar
posts and wire and enjoy the pleasure
of knowing the fences are all right
ahd the stock safe in their inclosure.
It will pay better than four per
cent.
The Innocent Farmer Boys,
Two Monroe township boys not being
abla to discover a single apple in their
father’s orchard took it upon themsélves
to compel onc of the trees to bear fruit.
Accordingly they went to the corn field
and secured two or three dozen small
sized pumpkins and fastened them to the
tree so neatly that a very sharp eye
would have been deceived and have tak-
en them for apples.
A day or so later an agent for a fruit
commissicn house drove up to the farm,
hitched his horse, and seeing no one
about, started through the orchard in
search of fruit. The boys saw him
coming and hid behind a brush pile.
When he reached the tree on which the
pumpkins were hanging, he walked
around it again and again, looked on
the ground, shook one of the lower
limbs, and then made an ineffectual at-
tempt to climb the tree.
«Well, if that don’t beat batter for
buckwheat cakes I hope to strangle;
I am a harmless idiot if them apples
ain’t as big as pumpkins.”
He then carefully counted the apples,
took a good long look at the tree and
started for the house. The boys crossed
the orchard and went down along the
fence to the wood shed. When the
agent came out they were busy sawing
wood.
“Any fruit in your orchard, boys?
I'm buying up apples, peaches, pears,
anything that’s good to eat.”
“There ain’t a applein this hull or-
chid ; I heerd dad tell that we wouldn't
get our seed.” -
“I guess you're mistaken, young man;
there’s surely a few. What will you
take for all the apples in the orchard ?”
“There ain’t any there,” persisted the
boys.
“Well I'l tell you what I'll do. T'I1
give you a dollar for what fruit I can
find in the orchard.”
“We hate to see you cheat yourself,
mister; but as you know what you're
doin’ we'll take the cash.”
‘The agent handed each of the boys
fifty cents and picking up a ladder lying
near by started for the tree. The boys
slipped along the fence and got behind
the brush pile again. The agent was
already in the tree and had carefully
climbed out a limb, but not until he
had seized one of the pumpkins and
given it a twist did he agree with the
boys that there were no apples in the
orchard.
“Talk about protecting the farmer,”
he roared; ‘‘it’s the unsuspecting buyer
that needs protection from their skin
games. I'll get even with gthem infer-
nal sun burned farmer cubs if I ruin the
house.”
SEE ——————.
A Tender Asso ciation.
At his lecture on ‘Ministers and
Preachers,” Dr. Andrews told some
amusing stories of ministers of the past.
One about Dr. Jeter was espeeially
good. Dr. Jeter, when he became
worked up in preaching and was the
most eloquent, had a habit of putting a
whine into his voice which as near re-
sembled tears in the voice as posssble.
Once when the tears were especially
strong during a sermon the good old doc-
tor noticed a lady weeping in the au-
dience. As soon as the services were
over he hastened to overtake the lady
and ask her what part of the divine
word touched her to tears.
“Twasn’t that,” said the lady.
“Have you had come deep affliction,
losing family friends ?’’ said the doctor.
“Twasn’s that neither,’’ said the lady.
«Well, wha. was it ?’” asked the doc-
tor.
«Well, doctor, we had a mule, and it
was a good one, too. We all liked that
mule, and he died ; and while you were
preaching your veice sounded so much
like that mule’s that I couldn’t help
crying.”

On an average the better plan is al-
ways to sell an animal whenever it is
ready. There is always more or less of
a loss in feeding longer than this.

re THE HUNGRY PUBLIC.
{Oemeraene={))
It is only those who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
istence, that we address,
Those who use no-
thing,—who think they
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 aown for
the people who are mortal
enough to get hungry,and
in consequence of getting
hungry are sengible enough
to try to get what is good,
pure, wholesome and nee-
essary, at prices that don’t
require them to lay 6ut all
that they earn, to appease
their appetites. We have
been in the hunger appeas-
ing business for many,
many years, We know
shat men want, we know
what women and children
desire, and we know how
much better and how much
more pleasant it is to re-
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 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-
slantials; 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 the printer
to print this invitation !for
you to come and see us.
If you live in town drop
in and see what all we have
and what quality of goods
we carry.
If you 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
strengthless articles of diet.
If you have any good fresh
farm produce bring it along.
