Farm Notes.
Mixed barnyard manure is better
than clear horse manure for most gar-
den crops.
Do not forget to put in a few currant
bushes when ordering fruit this spring.
An orchard of 800 acres has recently
been set in Osage county, Kansas, by a
man who already has one of nearly
450 acres.
Fresh horse manure from horses
well fed is hard to beat as a starter in
the hot-bed. In fact, we have yet to
learn of anything as good.
The acre of ground around the conn-
try school house should be a paradise
of trees, shrubs and flowers, a beauti-
ful experimental garden.
Many farmers in Hancock, N.H.,are
enlarging their flocks of fowls. Their
hens pay the best of any branch of
farming, even better than dairying.
Quite a number have several hundred
and one man has over 3000.
In making a start in the poultry
business begin ona smal! scale. Get
a good breed, suitable to the purpose
for which they are wanted. In a ma-
jority of cases one of the general pur-
pose breeds will prove the most satis-
factory.
The fruit crop of California the past
year was the largest ever known. The
shipments of green fruit amounted
to 105,000,000 pounds ; dried traits,
30,318,000 pounds; oranges, 3187 car-
loads; raisins, 40,000,000 pounds; fruits
84,250,000 pounds.
The man who wilfully and rceedless-
ly deprives his family of the privileges
of a good vegetable garden fails in one
of the foremost duties. He cannot
possibly be a good husband, or a good
father, and is certainly not a good
Christian.
If you have any quince trees pnt
some coal ashes about them; in fact,
we think coal ashes a good mulch for
most any tree—a deal better to use the
ashes about the trees than to have
them make a miniature mountain in
the back yard the season through.
There are many farmers y:t unac-
quainted with the benefits derived from
the use of a land roller. One valuarle
point in its favor is the crushing and
pulverizing of hard lumps and putting
small stones and other obstacles out of
the way of the mower or reaper by
bedding them into the ground.
The various grades of butter, often
seen 1n our grocery stores, speak badly
as regards system in the manufacture
of this important product of the farm,
and many| of our farmers would do
well to take a few lessons on butter
making for the purpose of getting into
a systematic plan of producing a uni
form good quality of this article.
Never under any circumstances put
warm water in the churn. No differ
ence how cold it ig, so it is not freezing.
Of course cream must be kept as warm
as a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees.
Bat to get it to that don’t put hot wa-
ter into it. You may set y.ur cream-
bucket in tepid water and stir frequent-
ly, or near the fire in winter, but never
let it be so hot as to melt a batter glob-
ule.
Prof. Robertson wants to know, if
a man can keep 5 cows on 5 acres of
ground to give back 300 pounds of
butter each, why can’t 10 other
other men get 10 cows on 10 acres to
do the same, and if it can be done on
10, why not on 50? He says these at-
tainments are within the possibility of
all dairymen and farmers who will use
the silo and apply intelligent skill and
care in their business methods.
The farmer who judiciously pastures
sheep over his land for a number of
season will have the finest and most
productive lands known to agricultare.
In this respect a further and more
staple source of profit may be secured
than from any other class of stock.
Sheep require frequent change of pas
turage, and a good range for them is
always compensated tor by an increase
of vigor and growth.
Dr. Burr, veterinary inspector at the
Brighton abattoir,finds 3 to 4 per cent.
diseased among Eastern cows killed
for market, and 74 per cent. of those
sent to the fertilizer mill, having died
from various causes. A butcher near
one of our large cities, who deals
chiefly in country cows picked up in
the vicinity, reports to me that last
year out of 200 purchased he had. four
cases so diseased that they were de-
stroyed and boiled vp for pigs or
poultry.
The simplest and in fact the only
practical way to rid sheep of ticks is to
dip them in a decoction of tobacco or
some of the various prepared dips upon
the market, of which there are several
good ones. The difficulty in this case
is that it would be a hard matter to get
the sheep dry after dipping at this sea-
son of the year, unless there was a dry,
warm place in which the work could be
done an the sheep permitted to stay
until dried.
Nearly all of the very early varieties
of strawberries continue but a’ short
time in bearing, yield but few pickings,
and give short crops. The same is
true, in a more marked degree, of the
extreme late sorts. They commence
to ripen late, but hold out little if any
longer than the medium varieties,
The second early, or medinm varieties,
usually give more pickings during the
season and continue longer in bearing
than the extreme early and late sorts;
hence give a greater total yield.
One of the worst things to contend
with in the care ot stock is their drink.
No creature will fhrive it compelled to
go thirty or forty rods to drink and
then get it by standing in the mud up
to their knees, or in a cold northwest
wind that will chill them so that they
won't get warm for the next twenty-
four hours. Farmers had better hire
money at 12 per cent. to bring water to
their barn than compel their stock to
travel offin the fields to drink.

An Ex.Pglice Reporter's Story.
“Some years ago,” he said, I was a
night police reporter on one of the dai-
lies of Chicago. I was ambitious, and
it was my delight above all things to
catch the fly cop when he was on some
mysterious case that he was not ready to
give away. I encountered one of this
stripe one evening in a section of the city
somewhat unfrequented. He seemed
surprised to see me, and I was surprised
to see him.
“ tAh, there!’ says I in a manner
quite as mysterious as that employed by
himself.
“¢You here?’ says he.
«(I am, every time,” says I. -
“Then there was a lull. ‘Funny,’
says he, ‘how you reporters get on to
everything that we fellows are up to.’
“{That't all right,’ says I. ‘We
know our business.’
“ “What do you know about this case ?’
he asked.
“I don’t remember my exact answer,
but it was couched in such language as
I thought would convince him that I
knew what I was there for, We buck-
ed at each other for several minutes,
when he finally proposed a compromise.
“Says he: “Well, seeing that you are
on to me, tell me what you know about
the case, and I'll tell you what I know.
Up and up.’
“That goes,’ says I.
t ¢Sure,’ says he.
“Well,” says I, ‘to be honest about
it, f don’t know a darned thing. Now
I want you to keep your word with me.’
“Then he took me down the street
end turned into a dark alley and went
around behind an ash barrel and put his
finger to his nose.
‘ ¢Sh,’ says he.
‘Sh,’ says I, putting my finger to my
nose.
“You won’t give it away ?’ says he.
¢¢Oross my heart,” says 1.
“Then he said in a whisper: ‘I live
just around the corner, and I was going
down to the shoemaker’s to get my shoes
half soled.” And he looked at me.
“Then I took him back into the street
and into a cigar store, and told the man
to give my friend the best fifteen cent
cigar in the case. I guess that was the
first cigar that was ever sold for fifteen
cents in that section of the city.” —Chi-
cago Tribune.
——Human milk is the best food for
infants, not on account of any specitic
property it possesses, but merely because
it is the most digestible. When, how-
ever, it is so poor as to be no lounger
nutritious it ceases to rank as a food,
and Mellin’s food should be used.
"—— A cablegram of over 1,300 words,
which passed through New York City
from Lima to London, one night recent
ly, over the lines of the Western Union
Company, cost a pretty penny to §trans-
mit, the rate being over $2 a word.
This would represent an outlay of over
$2,600, and is probably the largest toll
paid by an individual or company out-
side of newspaper corporations.
——Hood’s Sarsaparilla i on the
flood tide of popularity, which position
it has reached hy its own intrinsic, un-
doubted merit.
——- Panther Creek district, in Georgia
can boast of the biggest egg eater in the
world, in the person of Joe Burke, who
measures six feet and eleven inches high
in his stocking feet. Mr. Burke told a
newspaper man that not long since he
bad only partaken of asmalisnake. He
also ate three hearty meals afterward in
less than five hours.
——Farmers will find that Salvation
Oil is a sure remedy for frosted feet. All
dealers keep it.

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 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 hl.
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-
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 Ifor
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.
1f you live in the country
come in the first time you
come to town and learn how
eagy 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.

farm produce bring italong.
