Farm Notes.
All stone fruit are claimed to be ben-
efited by potash fertilizers more than
by the application of manure.
It 18 claimed that the cows which
calve in September and October are
largest
the that
profit.
Sunflower seeds are excellent for the
hens that are molting. The hens
should have all their new feathers be-
fore frost sets in.
One of the greatest obstacles to the
farmer in the winter season is mud.
All paths and walkways should now
be covered with sand and gravel.
Be careful now that the heavy sows
do not kill their pigs by crushing them.
Allow plenty of room to farrowing
sows, and use cut straw for bedding,
The cabbage-worm butterfly will not
“cease work until the end of the the
season. The white butterflies will re-
mind you to look for cahbage-worms.
The Devon is one of the hardiest and
best breeds known for hillside pastures.
The cows are usually gentle and yield
more than the average quantity of
milk.
—The Holstein Friesian cow Pauline
Paul has recently concluded a test in
which she produced 382 pounds and 14
ounces of butter in 90 days. When
will we reach the limit ?
A new roof may be expensive, but it
is cheaper then damp stables or” barns
and sick animals. The animals have
no warm stoves in winter, and dryness
is therefore essential.
A teaspoonful of liquid carbolic acid
in a quart of water, allowing no other
water to drink, is the best remedy for
chicken cholera yet discovered, but it
is not a sure cure.
Common sense urges the farmer to
give himself and his team a good rest
after the mid-day meal. Rarely is
work so pressing as to make the non-
observance of this rule profitable.
If the sows are to bring a second lit-
ter care should be taken against her
becoming too thin before the pigs are
weaned. Satisfactory results cannot
be expected from a walking skeleton.
It pays to have good roads, and the
tax for that purpose is a small sum
compared with the saving of the team.
On a good road one horse can do more
work than two on a rough road.
Experiments made show that when
celery and many other vegetables are
packed in damp moss and kept ina
cool place they will keep well for a
long time, and especially in winter.
"In London the milk of the goat is
sold at three times the price of cow's
milk, being in demand for young chil-
dren. Goats in England are largely
usea for producing milk, and they are
pedigreed and bred to certain lines or
strains in the same manner as are cat-
tle in this country.
If there was no other inducement for
keeping the pig pen clean, the odors
therefrom should bela sufficient cause.
Diseases may occur from the filth of the
pen, and it is stated that typhoid fever
has been traced to such source. Sav-
ing the manure at all times leads to
cleanliness and enriches the farmer.
About one pint of grain per day is
estimated as an average allowance for
each sheep if plenty of straw and hay
be given. This is less than six bushels
of grain per year. As the sheep pro-
duces mutton, lamb and wool, as well
as returning part of the food as manure,
it should give a large profit in propor-
tion to cost.
“Fancy farmers’ are a blessing to
agriculture. They reach for the best,
make experiments, and gradually lead
the more practical workers to a reali-
zation of the importance of superior
stock and better methods. Bat for
the “fancy farmers” many of our best
breeds would not be known, and agri-
culture would be behind other pursuits.
Eggs can be preserved by simply
placing them on racks in a cool place
and turning them twice a week. It is
important when preserving eggs to
have every egg fresh, as a single stale
eggin a lot will injure the whole.
Eggs to be preserved should never be
bought from other parties, as there is
too much liability of having some
among the number unfit for the pur-
pose desired.
Labor is the great factor on the farm
that gives the best return of all expen-
ses, but everything depends on how
and where it is applied. It is not the
number of hours labor is performed that
brings in the profit, for misapplied la-
bor may entail a loss, but in systematic
arrangement, by which every matter
demanding attention receives its share
at the proper time and with the least
effort necessary.
One of the difficulties in banking up
all kinds of roots, or cabbage, is that
of the ground becoming frozen, and
sealing them up until the weather be-
comes mild. A farmer, who has tried
the method, suggests that cabbage be
packed in barrels covered with earth,
the head of the barrel being so arrang-
ed as to allow the cabbages to be taken
out ae required, and the barrel head
covered with straw.
ones give the
The sweet potato crop is being har-
vested. It isa bulky crop, and one of
the most difficult to keep throngh the
winter. The first thing to do is to as-
sort the potatoes and use the small
ones for fattening hogs, for which pur-
pose it is superior to corn. When
some method is discovered by which
sweet potatoes can be evaporated and
kept in that condition they will become
an important article of consurnption.

An Ancient Doll.
Last May, near the Hadrian Villa,
in Rome, were found at a depth of thir-
ty feet below the surface, two stone
burial caskets. In one of them was the
perfect skeleton of a little girl wrapped
in linen which, upon exposure to the
air, fell rapidly to dust. Upon her
head were fragments of a myrtle crown
—the Roman symbol of youth—aud on
her fingers were four rings, one of them
with her name, “Filetus,” engraved up-
on it. There were also in the narrow
| sarcophagus—as the ancients called
their stone coffins—many other articles
of more or less value. Among them an
exquisite amethyst breastpin, cut like a
cameo, and set in Etruscan gold filagre
work ; pearl earrings, carved amber
pins for the hair, and a gold necklace
with little white pendants of elesant
workmanship. But the most interest-
ing thing of all the treasures which lov-
ing hands had laid away with little
“Filetus’ centuries ago, was a doll, most
perfectly made of oak wood. The face
and hair were carved in the most min-
ute and careful way, the latter waving
low on the forehead, and bound with a
fillet. The joints were articulated so
that legs, arms and wrists moved in
sockets, and the hands and feet were cut
with extreme delicacy, with small and
delicate nails.
The dress, if there was any originally,
must have mouldered away, for the
letter which gave this account did not
speak of any.
It is thought that this little Roman
girl, with her ornaments and the play-
| things which were probably dearest Lo
her, must have been laid away to her
rest before the Christian era, and taking
| a long backward look through the cen-
| turies, it is touching to realize that the
same things that were pleasing then,
are still the delight of the young people.
It Was His Way of Advertising.
“I beg pardon for intruding upon
your time,” said the polite, smiling man
with the small valise in his hand. “A
pedler is a nuisance.” I know it as well
as anybody. But there are various
kinds of pedlers, and all of us must live.
Itisn’t our fault that we are lere,
Those of us that earn our living honest-
ly have to share the odium that belongs
to the calling. Iam not complaining
of this, gentiemen. It isa part of the
curse that came with the original pack-
age to Adam. If there is anyone of
you that has a spot of grease on his
coat, vest or trousers,” he added, open-
ing his valise and taking out a small
cake of soap and sponge, “I shall be
happy toremove it and without asking
anybody to buy my soap. It’s my way
of advertising. My dear sir, allow me.
There is a little spot on your vest.”
He rubbed the spot with a piece of
soap, deftly applied the sponge, made a
few passes over the cloth with a piece
ot eotton sheeting,and said :
‘There, sir, that spot is gone. You
will never see it again, and probably
you will never see me again either, as I
travel but once through a community.
My goods will be found at the stores.
I take it for granted nobody wishes to
buy a cake of my soap. 1 wish you
good morning, gentlemen !”’
After the polite, smiling visitor had
gone away the gentleman whose gar-
rent had been operated upon had occa-
sion te consult his watch.
It wasn’t there.
It had disappeared with the spot.—

Interesting Facts about Hair.
Four hundred hairs of an average
thickness would cover an inch of space
on a woman’s head. The blonde has
about 140,000 filaments to comb and
brush, while the red-haired beauty has
to be satisfied with 88,000; the brown-
haired damsel may have 100,000; the
black-haired but 100,000.
Few ladies consider that they carry
some forty or fifty miles of hair on their
head ; the fair-haired may have to dress
seventy miles of threads of gold every
morning. A German experimentalist
has proved that a single hair will sus-
pend four ounces without breaking,
stretching under the process and con-
tracting again. . But the hair thus
heavily weighted must be dark brown,
for blonde hair breaks down under two
and one-half ounces.
——1Itis now said a new industry will
spring up in the manufacture of rope,
twine, paper, ete,, from hop vines. HEx-
perts have made a test, and it is said
they are well adapted to those purposes.
