Farm Notes.
Tt is poor policy to keep pigs of all
ages aad size together. :
It is estimated that 180,000 lambs
‘between four and eight wezks of age,
‘were marketed last season.
The liquids of the stable, if allowed
to run off, carry away the most valua-
ble portions of the manure,
Don’t stint the young sows you in-
tend to breed soon. Oats, wheat mid-
dings and alittle o1l cake will be much
better for them than heavy corn feed-
ing.
Good draft horses, roadsters or work
horses are always in demand at good
prices, and, with care in the selection
of the breed-stock, may be raised as
cheaply as common plugs.
The cost of a quart of milk at the
New Hampshire station averaged for
the herd 2.74 cents. The best cow on,
good feed made milk for 1.59; milk
for the poorest cow on the same food
cost 4.26 cents. :
Milk that contains more than four
pounds of butter fat should be skim-
med two pounds to every 100 pounds
of milk, and the surplus made into but-
ter, says H. P. Caipenter in the Ameri
can Creamery.
Those who are in the winter dairy-
ing for the first time must not forget
that the fundamental principle is to
feed well, That, in fact, is the funda-
mental principle of dairying in winter
or summer.
A bee authority says: “The want
of air fit for breathing, and perhaps al
so of water, is the cause of bees becom-
ing restless, which ignorant and super-
ficially informed people attribute to ex-
cessive heat.
Seeds should always be planted in
fresh, moist soil, If the soil is dry it
draws the moisture from the seed if it
contains any, and the seed has to lie
and await the necessary moisture be-
fore it can sprout.
In selling fat wethers each one must
decide for himself whether the money
is in shearing or selling unshorn. We
know flockmasters who hold there is
just as much money in selling with
the wool on.
T. B. Terry says: “I believe that at
the present day, in the vicinity of good
markets at least, a sure plan for keep-
ing poor and hard up oa a small farm
is to try to raise a little of everything
that will grow in the latitude where
one lives.”
Mr. O. S. Bliss says in the New
York Tribune that true economy in
feeding hens is to give all the feed that
can be well assimilated and turned to
profitable use, and when too much is
consumed for profit, reduce the quality
rather than the quantity.
This season the farmers who grow
potatoes will benefit themselves by
making experiments with fertilizers,
using difterent kinds for that purpose.
The value of any kind of fertilizer
largely depends on the soil in which
the crop is grown.
Farm Stock and Home puts it in this
wise: “Poor roads; small loads, ex-
hausted horses, lost time, wretched
wagons. Good roads; big loads, hap-
py horses, time to spare, solid wagons.’
Of all men, the farmers cannot afford
to have poor roads.
The farmer takes not only cost but
his living out of his receipts before he
begins to count the profit. The mer-
chant counts as profit the difference
between the buying and selling price,
less the cost of the transaction, and
then lives on his profit.
Dr. Hoskins says that if paris green
were soluble in water it would kill the
leaves upon which it was sprinkled.
It is, however, soluble in the bodies of
insects. London purple is slightly so-
luble in water, and is hence always
more or less harmful to foliage.
A calf can be prevented from having
horns by an application of crude pot
ash to the spot where the incipient horn
can be felt—so Waldo F. Brown says.
The cost 18 next to nothing. The plan
of dehorning is gaining in favor, and
done in this way has much to com-
mend it.
Never cut a fowls wings by clipping
off the quills, as it makes them look
unsightly. The best way to cut their
wings to prevent flying is to spread the
wing out and cut the feather portion
from the quill. This wiil leave bare
quills, ana when the wing is closed it
rarely shows that the wing has been
tampered with. Oaly one wing should
be cut.
Many persons make the mistake of
planting carrots, parsnips and beets too
late. They are crops that should go in
as early as the season will permit, as
they should have as long a growing
period as possible. Another advau-
tage of early plantingis that they have
a chance to grow before weeds and
grass. The seeds are slow to germin-
ate, and much time is often lost by
grass covering the ground before the
seeds of the root crops come through.
Make the soil very fire.
In those sections where hay ds not a
sure crop oats are thickly sown on good
land, and when the heads are in the
milky stage the crop is cut and cured.
In this manner the nutritious matter is
arrested in the stalk while on its way
to fill out the seed heads, the stalks be-
ing in a green, succulent condition.
For feeding.Jthe oate (stalks and heads)
are passed through a cutter, ground
grain added, and feed it to all kinds of
stock exce it swine, and it is easily cur-
ed and kept during winter.
Professor W. A. Henry says: “I
should think ten pounds of hay suffi-
eient for a leorse liberally fed on grain.
As a rule horses consume much more
hay than is best for them or profitable
for the owner. The practice of filling
a hay-chute or deep manger with a
large amount of hay and allowing the
animal to eat at will should be avoid.
With alittle experience ascertain the
real needs of the animal, and keep
him to that.”
Licat Hearts AND PLENTY MoON-
EY.—I have completed my first week
with my Plater, and have $42 clear
money. Iam charmed with the busi-
ness. 1 bought my Plater from W. H.
Griffith & Co. Zanesville, Ohio, for $3,
and feel confident if people knew how
cheap they could get a Plater, and how
much money they could make, we
we would see many more happy homes.
It is surprising the amount of tableware
and jewelry thereis to plate; and if
persons now idle would geta Plater
they would soon have light hearts and
plenty of money.
— Tt takes two to make a quarrel,
but it lies in the power of one to prevent
it. The young wife will act wisely and
for the happiness of all, herself included
in the home if she always strives to bar
the entrance to quarrels by loving pa-
tience, gentle words, and ready forgive-
ness ; but this plan of action must begin
at the very commencement of her mar-
ried life. The door once opened is dif-
ficult to close, though it can be done by
much trying.
EveryBopy Knows.—That at this
season the blood is filled with impurities,
the accumulation of months of close con-
finement in poorly ventilated stores,
workshops and tenements. All these
impurities and every trace of scrofula,
salt rheum, or other diseases may be ex-
pelled by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the best blood purifier ever produced. It
is the only medicire of which “100 doses
one dollar’ is true.
—— Almost all men are over-anxious,
No sooner do they enter the word than
they lose that taste for natural and sim-
ple pleasures so remarkable in early life.
Every hour do they ask themselves
what progress they have made in the
pursuit of wealth and honor; and on
they go as their fathers won before them
till weary and sick at heart, they look
back with a sigh of regret to the golden
times of their childhood.
——1I suffered with pain in my side
and back for four weeks, it being so se-
vere as to keep me in bed, unable to
move. I tried Salvation Oil and it com-
pletely cured me and I am now well
and free from all pain.

A man of genius never seeks ap-
plause, while the little minded, or those
who have But a small portion of intel-

sources of others their own fame and re-
putation. However, itis for the best,
for they soon fall to their proper level- -
once they reach it, they never rise.

TT THE HUNGRY PUBLIC.
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 is not
intended for them but the
other fellows. We write
what is here put down for
the people who are morta
enough to get hungry,and
in consequence of getting :
hungry are sensible enough
to try to get what is good,
pure, wholesome and nec-
essary, at prices that don’t
require them tc lay cut al.
that they earn, to appease
their appetites. We have
oeen 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 1n 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,
fruits, nuts, relishes, or in
fact anything from apiece
+ 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.
Ifyou 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.

cumstances
