Farm Notes.
A Michigan farmer says he makes
sheep pay with wool at 35 cents per
pound and mutton atd cents per
pound.
The apple orchard was a good in-
vestment this season, the short crop
causing prices to be much above the
average of former years.
Cabbages may be preserved nicely
by placing them, heads down, in straw,
and covering the straw with earth, hill-
ing sufficiently to turn water.
A head of cabbage in the poultry
yard will be found very acceptable to
the hens, as only a few days will elapse
Refine nothing but the stalk will be
eft.
Horseradish is better if dug late in
the fall and stored like other roots.
Those who grow it for market find the
best sale for it in February and March,
before any can be dug from open
ground.
Sheep are very fond of good, clean,
bright straw, but they will not eat
straw readily if it is damaged. Straw
alone, however, is not suitable, but if
allowed other food thesheep will utilize
straw as a part of their diet.
Pure cream brings a higher price
than skimmed milk, yet the skimmed
milk is the more valuable as food, it
containing all the nitrogen and miner-
al matter, the cream containing the
heat-producing element—carbon.
Ifa calculation or estimate could be
made of the amount of filth that is
added to the milk of all the cows in
this country, in one year, by not keep-
in the cows elean and by not using wa-
ter on the hands before milking, it
would pile up by tons.
The cellar, or other placein which
fruit or roots are stored, should be kept
at a temperature of about 40 degrees
above zero, if possible, which tempera-
ture is not low enough to permit of
freezing and keeps the crops cool
enough to prevent rapid decay.
Rake up all the debris around the
grape vines and burn the leaves and
other material collected. Scatter air-
slaked lime liberally on the ground
around the vines. In the spring turn
the soil under and nse more lime. In
this manner the ravages of the rot can
be greatly mitigated.
The winter is the time for farmers to
meet and discuss matters pertaining to
farming. Many good hints, some of
them very valuable, may be gained or
imparted at such meetings, and no bet-
ter way of spending the time can be
devised if the weather is too severe to
permit of other work.
Nuts pay well when made a crop, so
it is stated by those who have grown
them, not excepting walnuts and hick-
ory nuts. Peanuts cannot be grown
successfully except on light soil and in
a climate that permits of plenty of time
for the nuts to fill out. Lime is an ex-
cellent fertilizer for peanuts.
When you succeed in securing a good
cow, or notice one in your neighbor's
herd, aim to secure calves from her,
sired by a bull of some preferred breed.
But, above all, first investigate the
breeding of the cow, how she was pro-
duced, and from which family she de-
rived her meritorious qualities,
The black knot is the scourge of the
cherry and plum, but it can be prevent-
ed by vigilance. Cut away any of the
limbs that show signs of the disease,
and spray the tree with kerosene emul
sion or the Bourdeaux misture. The
disease will spread to every tree in the
orchard ifallowed to go unchecked.
From the reports of nearly all the
farmers’ conventions they ascribe all
the ills that befall the sheep industry
to one source—dogs. While the econ-
omists are pointing out the advantages
and disadvantages in the way of wool
growing the farmer thinks that his
real and only enemy is the dog, and
that with suitable laws against dogs
sheep will pay.
Scurvy legs (or scabby legs) will ap-
pear now more so than in the summer,
but it is easily cured and prevented.
Fowls with scabby legs are very ua-
sightly, and should be treated at once.
Simply apply melted lard on the legs
once a week, for four or five weeks,and
the scab will disappear, it being the
work of a minute parasite, which is de-
stroyed by oil of any kind.—Farm and
Fireside.
The shaping of a tree should be
done when it is young. The practice
of allowing useless limbs to grow, only
to be sawed or chopped off when the
tree is large, is a mistake, as every un-
desirable limb grown deprives the oth-
er limbs of so much food and nourish-
ment. Begin with the first year and
train the tree to the shape desired,
leaving only such branches as will be
retained later on.
From 12 to 16 per cent. of sugar can
‘be obtained from beets, and as much as
4000 pounds ot sugar trom an acre of
beets may be obtained, but much de-
pends on the amount of beets grown
and the kind of fertilizer used. The
farmers receive about $3 per ton, or
about $50 per acre for the beets, accord-
ing to quality. Sugar does not deprive
the soil of any of its fertilizing elements
and hence, when the best pulp is fed to
stock the nitrogenous and mineral
elements are returned to the soil.
Buckwheat is a valuable crop, un-
der good culture. Itis grown in every
part of the United States except the
aria territories. The production of
1888 was more than 12,000,000 bushels,
value $7,000,000. New York and
Pennsylvania produce three-fourths of
the whole; West Virginia and Michi-
an come next. It is largely grown in
ermany, where it furnishes a large
amount of food for the poorer part of
the population. No other grain is so
good for feeding brood sows and pigs,
and it is excellent for cows kept for
milk alone.
| The Wicked Jones,
The other night after the thun-
der shower Jones dropped in on a
neighbor and tound about a dozen
people assembled.
“Well, well, you look cheerful after
such a close call,”” growled Jones, as
he removed his hat.
“What close call ?
“Why, lightning struck the barn in
the alley not a hundred feet away.”
“Oh, dear,” said one of the women,
“but I knew it. One of my arms has
been numb ever since.”
“And it affected my foot,” said an-
other.
“And set my heart to palpitating.”
“And my elbow has felt queer ever
since.”
Every one in the room remembered
to have been shocked, and every one
was thankful over the narrow escape.
By and by a boy, who had been
thinking deeply, gushed out :
“Why, there is no barn in the
alley 1” g
Amid the deepest silence everybody
remembered this fact, and the boy
clinched it with :
“But how could
there is no alley!”
Jones had lied, and so had all the
others.
there be, when
The Craze for Lapel Buttons,
“Nearly every man you see now
wears a lapel button of some kind, re-
marked a gentleman in Baily, Banks &
Biddles store, Philadelphia, a day or two
ago.” Itjis a craze whichhas just come
up within a few years, Just where it or-
iginated I cannot say, but I know that
there is hardly a University or Athletic
club in the country which has not a
button of its own. This rage for but-
tons even extends to many of the politi-
cal organizations, but as a rule, they
are not so handsomely nor expensively
gotten up as the others. We make
thousands of these little baiges every
year, and the demand is stiil increasing.

REMEDIES. TOTAL COST $1.75.
I have been afflicted with a sore limb, which
the doctors called eczema. My limb from the
knee to the foot was one mass of running sores.
The dociors bandage itevery day for a week,
and every time the bandage was removed a
large scab would come off, and the blood pour
down. Igot one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
one box Cuticura, and one cake Cuticura Soap,
and they [cured me. I told a lady who was
similarly afflicted to use it, and it cured her
also. I gratefully acknowledge tha! it was
Cuticura that cured me.

My nose was of a most pronounced crimson

enough remedies to stock a drug store without
deriving the slightest benefit. I tried the
