Farm Notes.
The greatest profit on a pig is in the
first 200 pounds.
Trim your fruit trees so as to give a
free, open top, no two limbs touching
or crossing each other.
It is said that the pea weevil will
not live over one year in seed peas. So
that by keeping the seed over until the
second season it destroys what may be
in it. And 2-year-old peas are almost
as good as 1-year ones.
California is famous for her large
sized fruits, but it is the general verdict
that in quality her apples and pears are
not the equal of those of the Atlantic
States. The pears which find their
way to our market are not equal to
our own.
Hogs are not as filthy in their habits
as they are represented, while their
keepers are more so. A well-bred hog
will prefer clean food and drink every
time if he has an opportunity. Their
motto is: Clean if possible, but beg-
gars are not choosers.
Professor Hunter Nicholson says
that women make the best butter-mak-
ers because of their superior ability to
see and smell anything wrong, and this
for the simple reason that their fine
olfactory sense is not deadened by
chewing tobacco, smoking cigars or
drinking whisky.
Good silage weighs 40 to 45 pounds
per cubic foot. In estimating the size
of a silo, when building, it is safe to
allow 50 pounds to every cubic foot.
'['hus, a silo 10 feet wide, 16 feet long
and 16 feet deep would contain 10x16
—160x16—2569x50—120,000 pounds.
This divided by 2000. equals 60 tons.
Chop the manure well into the soil
of the garden, Use only the fine and
well rotted material. Coarse manure,
containing cornstalks, straw, or other
litter not decomposed, will only be in
the way of the young and tender plants.
The finer the manure the better.
Dr. Hoskins, Newport, V., the well-
known experimenter in fruits for the
cold North, harvested over a thousand
barrels of apples last summer from his
little orchard. Certainly no one need
question but he has learned from his
experimental work to grow fruit.
An excellent coating for peach trees,
to prevent borers, is to swab the trees
well with a mixture of lime and wood
tar. Dig away the earth, swab the
trees six inches below the ground and
twelve inches above 1t, and return the
earth to the trees.
Early cabbages require a very rich
soil, while late ones will do weil wher-
ever a good crop of corn can be raised.
‘We plow our ground early for late crop,
summer fallowing as for wheat, Early
crop is set about the 10th of April, the
second crop the 1st of May and the
third crop the 20th June.
Let the top dressing of the asparagus
bed be of well decomposed manure, or
if you covered last tall with manure
that was a little “long,” rake off this
spring, and let the fine remain. Three
hundred pounds of nitrate of soda to
the acre just before the “grass” comes
through will be a benefit.
Costiveness in sheep is very apt to
occur in winter when no roots or ensi-
lage are fed, In such case the value of
oil meal can scarcely be overestimated,
If the flockmaster has no green food
we believe it will pay him to buy some
oil meal at any cost that any body will
likely have to pay.
The first thing to do in invigorating
a worn-out orchard is to enrich the
ground by top-dresssing the whole sur-
face with barn manure; if practicable,
at the rate of thirty or forty two-horse
loads to the acre, or with less if this
amount cannot be had. Let this man-
ure be finely broken up so as to be
evenly spread aud not left in lumps.
Professor J. W. Sanborn says: “Up
to 300 pounds weight the calf consumes
3.3 per cent. of its live weight daily ;
from 300 to 700 pounds weight the
steer requires 3 per cent. of live weight
daily ; from 700 to 1000 pounds about
2.8 per cent., and thereafter some 2.6
per cent. of live weight daily. More at
first and less at the finish, it requiring
about one-third of this food in grain.”
Professor Robertson gave the follow-
ing points of excellence in a dairy cow:
Large udder, long, broad and elastic;
soft, mellow skin; large barrel, and
plenty of room for food; broad loins
and long ramps; rather long, fine
neck and large eyes. A good 100-acre
farm suited to dairying should carry 25
cows working ten months per year,pro-
ducing at least $50 per head.
Rotation of crops is always benefi-
cial. Land that is given a different
crop every year will not become ex-
hausted as soon as when given up, year
after year, to a single crop. A crop
will take from the land certain foods
in excess of others, and causes it to fail
though it may not be lacking in other
elements. By rotation of crops the
supply of plant food removed is equal-
ized, and the soil is better enabled to
produce crops for a longer period of
time,
. All kinds of food may be relished by
stock, but the food that gives the best
results is that which is inost easily di-
gested and assimilated. The individ:
ual characteristics of an animal should
be considered in feeding. Some ani-
mals will divest certain foods which
would not be beneficial to their asso-
ciates. There is no herd or flock that
contains two alike in every respect.
The farmer who studies the habits of
each animal will have a great advan-
tace in feeding for the best possible re-
sults.
The largest bearing apple orchard in
the United States, says an exchange, is
at Leavenworth, Kan., and comprises
437 acres of bearing trees. This year
the yield was 79,170 bushels, the gross
receipts being $50,000. Yet nearly
$100 was cleared oft of each acre. The
| Phila. Pa.
cone
owner considers the Missouri Pippin
the best paying apple in the orchard,
the Ben Davis next and the Jonathan
third. He has recently set an 800-acre
orchard in Osage county.
The Centre of Population.
The Census Office has issued a bulletin
giving the center of population of the
United States in June, 1890, with some
discussion of the movements of the cen-
ter during the past century. By the
eleventh census the center of popula-
tion in 1890 was in Southern Indiana,
at a point a little west of Greensburg,
and 20 miles east of Columbus, or 46
miles west and 9 miles north of where
it was in 1880.
The closeness with which the center
of population during the past 100 years
has clung to the parallel of 39 degrees
of latitude cannot fail to be noticed.
The most northern point reached was at
the start in 1798, the most southern.
point was in 1830, the preceding decade
having witnessed a rapid development
of population in the South-west—Ala-
bama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louis-
iana having been admitted as States and
Florida annexed and organized as a ter-
ritory. The extreme variation in lati-
tude has been less than 19 minutes,
while the hundred years of record have
accomplished a movement of longitude
of nearly 9.5 degrees.
SMALL PAY For MANY GIrLS.—The
averaged wages of 150,000 ill fated
working girls of New York is 60 cent a
day, and that includes the income of
the stylish cashiers who get $2 a day as
well as the unfortunate girls who re-
ceive 30 c2nts a day in the east side fac-
tories and shops. The lot of the aver-
age saleswoman who has not the help
and shelter that parents or a married
brother or sister could share, is hard in-
deed. One has only to look into the
pale, pinched faces of those poor girls to
know that thousands of them are ac-
tually starving to death. And that, too,
in New York.
——1T have had oceasion to try Salva-
tion Oil in my family for neuralgia and
rheumatism. In every instance it ef-
fected a permanent cure. I also tried
it on my child suffering from a sprained
back with like success. I take pleasure
in recommending it toall. P. S. Cos-
tello, 321 Park Ave. Balto., Md.

had a chance to sit on the ground has

have made the nests the worse the fail-
ure has been,” says the Rural New

It is only these 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 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-
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 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 italong,

cumstances
