Farm Notes.
In Europe, pigs weighing about 200
pounds are preferred to large ones.
Prune the shade trees as well as the
fruit trees, so as to give them a beau-
tiful shape.
Every bushel of necessary grain
withheld is equivalent to two bushels
thrown away,
Linseed oil is said to be a remedy for
black knot on the plum if applied to
the knot upon the first appearance.
Two beans two inches apart will
yield as much as two in the same space.
It is a waste of seed to sow too close.
The poorest acre on the farm will
pasture at least one sheep which will
produce a fleece worth from $1.50 to
$2.50, and a lamb worth from $3 to $5.
—dJ. P. Lambert.
Plant the garden so as to have all of
the ground occupied during the grow-
ing season. There is no advantage in
planting any kind of garden seed when
the ground is wet and cold.
Success hinges upon the man and
his surroundings. Find your market
before your crop is ready and send the
produce in the neatest and most attrac-
tive condition.
Try two and one half bushels of oats
and one of peas on an acre early next
spring. Cat early, it is excellent for
hay; ripened, the grain ground to-
gether, is excellent feed for horses and
pigs.
In discussing the causes of depres-
sion of agriculture interest it is well to
remember that lack of business me-
thods on the part of the farmer has
contributed an important share.
James J. H. Gregory says that for
the onion maggot he has found hens
and chickens a possible remedy. He
claims that a hen and a brood of chick-
ens will take careof from an acre to
an acre and a half.
There is no young couple who can
not, if they wish, earn and pay for a
farm in a few years time and be fnde-
pendent all their lives and hand down
to their children a valuable property.
Do not be in a hurry to have your
sheep care for themselves in the fields,
but keep up a little winter feeding and
give them abundant shelter—especially
at night—until the weather gets warm
and the grass gets well started.
In experiments made at the Wiscon-
gin Station,to make 100 pounds of gain
with lambs required 800 pounds of
sweet skimmed milk, 25 pounds of oats
and 60 pounds of green feed. To make
100 pounds of gain with pigs,under the
same conditions, required 654 pounds
of sweet skimmed milk and 198 pounds
of cornmeal and shorts.
Among the gooseberries, Industry is
thought by some to be the best English
gooseberry yet introduced. It is of
vigorous upright growth, and a great
cropper, and shows no sign of mildew ;
berries of largest size, often one and
one-half inches in diameter and of ex-
cellent flavor, pleasant and rich; color
when fully ripe, dark red.
The flax plant prefers a mild, soft
soil, light and not too heavy, and free
of weeds. A mild, loamy soil with a
deep layer of humus and a subsoil not
too dry, is best adapted for the require-
ments of this plant. A stiff soil com-
posed of clay, ora dry and sandy one,
is unsuitable. A very sandy soil is on-
ly good for flax culture if sufficiently
moist.
Mr. O. S. Bliss, of Vermont, gives
some pretty strong evidence in the
New York Tribune to sbow that the
strength of manure does no wash away
to any considerable amount, even on
quite steep side-hills. He says the col-
or is no evidence of fertilizing material,
which is very rapidly deposited if taken
up at all by thesurtace water.
Unless rich ground is richly covered
with useful plants it is quite certain to
produce weeds. Nothing surpasses
clover for smothering weeds. If sown
thickly, and stock is kept off from it
after the mowing, so that some of the
seed from the second crop will be scat-
tered, it will gain complete possession
of the field to the exclusion of the
weeds.
The sheep suffers more from long
continued wet weather than any other
animal. Keep them in dry locations
if you wish to avoid disease in the
flock, especially the dreaded foot-rot.
Colds, due to exposure, lead to other
ailments, and as the sheep is more eas-
ily affected by dampness than by cold
the flock should be carefully guarded
until the spring rains are over.
At a recent Farmers’ Institute the
experience of one who had experiment-
ed for ten years with the different
modes of cutting potatoes for planting
was given. His testimony was that
he had raised the most and largest po-
tatoes from small uncut and seed ends
every year but one, and that was a
poor year for notatoes. He raised at
the rate of 400 bushels to the acre.
A breed to be pure should have fix-
‘ed characteristics peculiar to itself, and
which can be transmitted. When
pure breeds are used for improving
common stock there will be a gain in
some direction, but when the attempt
to improve is made without regard to
the characteristics desired, no improve-
ment whatever may be the result. All
work in improving the stock should be
done with the view of accomplishing
some definite purpose.
The soit must be feed liberally if it is
to do liberal work. The capacity of
all soils depends on its soluble plant
food and the treatment given the crops.
As soils vary the farmer alone is the
“judge of the kind of plant food required
by his soil. To farm in an intelligent
manner the farmer should not only
know what the soil needs, but also the
requirements of the crops to be grown
thereon, in order to produce the great-
‘est amount at the least cost,

A hundred years back it was custom-
ary for fussy people, old maids particu-
larly, God bless them! to hang little
bags at the head of their beds and put
away things they might want before
morning: We have not seen anything
of this kind for years, but now we dis-
cover that these bedpockets are being
sold in England, although the extent of
their use is not stated. They are ar-
ranged in fanciful shapes of brass and
hang by cords or ribbons from the head
of the bedstead. There is a place for the
pocket-handkerchief and a place for the
watch. Likewise a place for the pocket-
book and a sign to the burglar, “Step
softly and don't disturb the sleeper.”
One can keep here his cough mixture or
bottle of night-caps and eye-openers.
Some of these devices take the form of
niches to hold holy water or saintly fig-
ures, for use in Roman Catholic coun-
tries. We have not seen them in
America, but once let them be intro-
duced and they certainly would sell. It’s
a big improvement over poking things
under the pillow.—Philadelphia Up-
holsterer.

Dealer (impressively) Wood? Madam
this is the wood that poets have raved
over when alluding to the music of na-
ture ; itis the wood that first greeted
the eyes of the weary Pilgrims at Ply-
mouth Rock as the mighty trees, rich
in verdue, bent beneath the snow ; it is
the wood that even now attracts inva-
lids to the forests where it grows. * It is
pine, madam—genuine pine.
——“We point with pride” to the
“Good name at home,” won by Hood's
Sarsaparilla. In Lowell, Mass., where it
is prepared, there is more of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla sold than of all other medi-
cines, and it has given the best of satis-
faction since its introduction ten years
ago. This could not be if the medicine
did not possess merit. 1f you suffer
from impure blood, try Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilia and realize its peculiar curative
power.
Men Don’t Want to Die.
“How strong is the love for life!” It
was a well known physician who utter-
ed this exclamation, “I can’t always
understand it,”” he went on. ‘Here's
one of my patients, who is now lying at
the point of death in one of the hospitals.
He was run over by a railway train a
day or two ago and brought in incon-
scious, his head staved in, four ribs
broken and both legs crushed to a jelly.
And yet he is frantic at the thought of
the near end of his miserable existence.
He has no family dependent upon him,
and seems to have no ties of any charac-
ter to bind him to life. 1f he recovers
be will be a helpless, useless cripple,
dependent upon charity, and as he is an
unlettered laborer, he can have none of
the pleasures of the imagination and the
intellect. What has he to hve foc? And
yet his desire to live is pitifully strong.”
