Farm Notes.
Frequently give your hens new, clean
nests,
The market is seldom overstocked
with the best. :
A light and effective movable fence
is a desideratum.
Cut the burs and cockles before turn-
ing in the sheep.
Keeping the weeds cut is better than
pulling them out.
The fall is the seeding time for weeds.
Destroy them before the seed falls.
Use a little mutton tallow or vase-
line when there are signs of the cow’s
teats cracking,
Plans for numbering farm houses
and others in the country are being tried
in some States.
It is said that typhoid fever has been
traced to a dirty pig pen, the virus com-
ing into the house on the unwashed
feet of flies.
If you have had the start of the
weeds all summer don’t let them get
the start of you on the homestreich,
Keep them down.
All recent agricultural exchanges
that refer to the practice of sulphuring
fruit condemn it. Not one has a word
to say in its favor.
Germany sent to the United States
last year beet-root sugar to the value
of $16,000,000. Two years ago the
amount was less than $1,500,000.
Bright oats straw run through a cut-
ting box and mixed with bran and a
little ground oats slightly moistened,
makes oneot the best fodders for horses.
In cutting seed potatoes cut the eye
with a slant toward the butt or stem
end, and cut past the middle of the po-
tato,leaving as much of the eye on the
potato as you can.
Be careful that your hay does not be-
come heated in the barn. Hay, to
keep well, should be well cured
before storing, and it should not be
packed too heavily.
Professor Augur, of Connecticut, re-
commends sprinkling cabbage with
brine strong enough to bear an egg as
a remedy for the cabbage worm. It is
also good for the cabbage.
It is only in exceptional cases that it
will pay the average farmer to breed
horses for speed. Generally, all things
considered, good draft horses will re.
turn a safer and better profit.
In plowing stony land for seeding to
grass, put all small stones into the fur-
row and cover them, and lay all larger
ones out on the furrows and afterward
draw them off on a stone boat.
‘I'hree-quarters of an ounce of salt to
the pound of butter will be the right
‘quantity for most markets for immedi-
ate consumption, and one ounce to the
pound for packed butter.
When tomatoes are on stakes or trel-
lises it is a good plan to nip off the tops.
Side shoots push out che sooner, and
from these come the fruit. Thereis no
advantage in so much height.
Kickers among colts and calves are
usually bred, not born. Handle them
gently and kindly and kickers will be
rare. Teasing by heedless boys and
hired men origina‘es most of the farm
kickers.
Teach the boy to do his farm work
go that it will be admired, and you give
him something to think about that
adds zest to his work: Teach him to
be as neat and tasteful in his work as
in dress, and you develop valuable
qualities, such as may hold him to the
farm.
If the corn crop is not harvested and
siloed when there is moisture in the
stalks to start rapid fermentation, we
should certainly,say Hoard's Dairyman,
add water to the contents of the pit,
and if the water was hot,it would be all
the more effective in starting the fer-
mentation.
Anexchange naively remarks: “The
attempt to control sex in stock breed-
ing is not yeta trinmph of science.
What is more, it never will be.” Una.
doubtedly not. The more scientists
struggle with the problem the more
they are confused. Nature keeps some
things wisely and closely hidden.
Early cabbages are not usually as
hard and large as the later kinds. They
are intended to afford a supply while
waiting for the better varidties to come
in. They are but of little value unless
early, Ttis time to have the seed for
early plants sowed in the hot bed, and
the young plant should be set out as
soon as possible. :
The introduction of the bush lima
bean is a valuable aid to the bean grow-
er. The chief expense in growing lima
beans is the poles, which require la-
bor in staking and replacing when af-
fected by winds. Those who have
tried the bush beans claim that they
are fully as prolific as the pole beans,
as well as being equal to the latter in
quality,
To make thorough work of the weeds
they should be carted off the land at
once and burned up it dry enough, or
dumped in a pile and worked over for
two years before returning to the land
as compost. This working over may
be done with a cultivator and harrow
in a large pile; it does not take much
time, hut needs attention every ten
days in the growing season,
One of the rzasons why peaches do
not succeed on land long enltivated, is
lack of mineral plant food. The peach
is usually planted on light or sandy
land, that has at best very little miner-
al. The «ced caunct form without pot
ash, and lacking this the seed falls off
soon after setting. Tt is believed by
some that lack of potash is the predis-
posing cause of the disease known as
peach yellows. When taken early
enough this disease has been cured by
| parts filled with cold water, will not on-
Household Hints.
For polishing furniture beeswax and
turpentine are very good, but plenty of
elbow grease is essential.
White paint that has become diseol-
ored may be nicely cleaned by using
little whiting in the water for washing.

makes good dusters and: will also be nse-
ful for cleaning windows, as it is fren
from lint.
A good way to remove ink staius
al
from carpets is to sprinkle salt over the
soiled spots and pour on boiling water ;
do it several times, if necessary.
For cleaning glasses belonging to
mahogany furniture, use either powder-
ed whiting or scraped rottenstone mixed
with sweet oil, and rub on with a cham-
ois skin,

glass look iike new.
The walls of each room should be
brushed, a duster should be tied over a
broom and then passed up and down.
The duster must, of course, bs shaken
from time to time.
For cleaning windows and mirrors
one of the best things is plain soft water
and chamois leather, having a dry
chamois leather as well to polish with
afterward. This process will not answer
near the sea, because of the salt in the
atmosphere.
The scrubbing of floors should be
done with bath brick dust or sand and
ordinary bousebold soap. The object
of the brick dust or sand is to whiten
boards. After washing leave all the
doors and windows open for it to dry
quickly, which also helps to whiten the
boards.
When table cloths are worn beyond
mending cut out square pieces from the
best parts of them and hem them neatly.
They make nice napkins for the littie
children to use at the table, and also do
uicely for them to carry their lanche
to school in, for if they are stain-
ed or lost it will not matter much, as
your set will not be broken.
He Won't Be Fuuny Again.
“I say, landlord,” remarked a strang-
eras he entered the hotel in a small
town in Ohio, *‘what’s the price of one
of the best rooms you got 77
“Well, stranger,” remarked the land-
lord, ‘I can give you my best room to-
night for fifty cents, and she’s a daisy 1”
Then he added rather facetiously, “but
if you sleep with those boots on, why,
it'll cost you twenty-five cents extra.’
The following morning, the landlord,
being absent, the stranger paid his bill
to the landlady, snd continued his
journey.
“John,” said the landlady, when her
husband came in, “here's seventy-five
cents a man left for his recom.”
“Great heavens!” shouted the land-
lord, “seventy-five cents 7’
“That’s exactly what I sail-—seventy-
five cents.”
Three steps took him to the room on
the landing above.
“Well,” gloomily “that’s for trying
to be funny. Tt'll cost me about a five
dollar bill.” — Harper's Bazar.

It is a fact, establishdd by the testimony

Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt

arising from impure state or low condi-

that tired feeling, creates a good appetite
and gives strength to every part of the
system. Try it.

It is only those who
eat—ihe 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
sing intangible nothing,
will save time by passing
this column by. It is not
intended for them but the
other fellows. We write
what is Bere 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 nee-
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 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-
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,
fraits, nuts, relishes, or in
fact anything from apiece
of chewing gum to a first
class beef steak, that we
write aud pay the 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.
Ii you live in the country
come in the first time you
come to town and learn how
easy it is to get good, purg,
fresh groceries, as low if
not lower than many have
been in the habit of paying
for old, impure and
strengthlessarticles of diet.
