Farm Notes.
Land that has produced a crop has
lost a portion of its fertility, This fer-
tility must not only be restored in some
manner, but the soil should be made
richer than before.
I'he more succulent foods make the
more watery milk and oily cream,
which churns the easier. Hence ensil-
age and roots are favorable to butter
making, the oils principally giving but-
ter its flavor.
No matter how well fed the stock
may be, the greatest gain is secured
whenjthe food is varied, A mess of
green food may contain but little nutri-
tion, but it may promote the appetite
and induce an animal to consume more
food.
The cow must not have to travel a
long distant for water. If she doesshe
will go without it until she gets very
thirsty and feverish, and then drink
until ghe is painfully uncomfortable.
Both conditions are unfavorably for
milk secretion.
It is not the largest farms that pay.
A farm of any size can be made to pay
a profit if the management is correct.
When certain crops do not give a profit
try some other. The demands of the
market should be considered as much
as possible. :
Shade is almost as important in
summer as shelter from cold in winter.
See that the cow has plenty of feed and
clean water while in pasture so that
she can fill her stomach in a short
time and then lie down in the shade,
chew her cud, enjoy herself and make
milk,
The stake method of training grape-
vines has but one advantage over any
other. We can plow and cultivate both
ways and keep the ground clean with
less hoeing. It is, however, not as
good as a trellis; neither is it as con-
venient for trying and distributing.
The value of the vegetables purchas-
ed by farmers every year is enormous.
Trains leave Philadelphia daily with
loads of vegetables in season for the
farmers along the lines of the railroads,
many of them giving the cultivation of
a garden no consideration.
What kind of a building would a lot
of general-purpose lumber make, of all
sorts and sizes? Things must be fitted
for a purpose. We must use for our
dairies cows adapted for eome special
purpose; so with beef or mutton and
with our horses,
Mixed pasture grasses, including
clover, make a well-balanced summer
ration ; but a little dry food 1s relished
exceedingly and is beneficial. Some of
the best dairymen not only feed hay,
but corn meal and bran, or some other
form of grain all summer, to advan-
tage.
While some farmers spread all their
manure on ten acres, in order to grow &
crop of corn, and bestow the labor on a
large area, others may perform their
work on a single acre of celery, cab-
bage or small fruit, and realize a larger
profit than those who cultivate ten
times as much land.
Rooting grapevine branches, accord-
ing to Popular Gardening, should be
done in early spring. Dig a shallow
trench into which the branch or stem
is to be laid. Cover lightly, to keep in
place. When the buds start into
growth fill the soil back into the trench,
With such treatmerit each shoot will
be likely to produce a plant.
In reply to the query : “How do you
keep brood combs when not in use?”
the editor of the American Bee Journal
says: The bees will take care of the
empty combs in the summer season
better than you can doit. In winter
they should be boxed up tightly, after
being thoroughly fumigated with sul-
phur, if they have any moth germs in
them.
One important point in keeping a
farm clear from weeds is to see that
these germs are not imported in pur.
chased seeds. Weeds are often intro-
duced by the farmer's own animals.
Horses that have been fed at the town
stables, and cattle that have been al-
lowed to forage on the highways, may
each be the means of bringing obnox-
ious weeds onto the farm.
When a cow is turned out on a bare
field to pick up her food she not only
travels over a great distance of ground
during the day and secures but a por-
tion of that which she should have,
but she also drops her manure where it
is wasted. Nothing is saved by com-
pelling the cow to depend on herself.
A saving of food 1n one direction causes
a loss in some other way.
Many people do not value bees as
they should. Bees are not only good
for gathering honey, hut for fertilizing
plants by mingling the pollen. Some
ignorant people claim that bees injure
fruit by gathering honey and pollen
from them, but they do not; they only
better them. A certain fruit-grower in
Ohio says he would at least keep six
colonies for the benefit of his fruit, even
it he got no surplus from them.
Every farmer is familiar with the
use of the plow; but there are many
kinds of plows, each adapted to some
farms better than to others, and it is
important to select the right make.
There is no best plow for all kinds of
work, as level lands, hill lands, light
and heavy soils all require certain
plo s best adapted for the work re-
quired to be done, and also for the
crop that is to be planted.
Suitable food in generous quantities
and good care bestowed upon dairy
animals adapted to the purpose for
which they are designed, will always
insnre abundant and satisfying returns.
The food the cow eats produces the
milk, and a profitable yield requires a
liberal supply of nutritious compounds;
reat milking cows are universally
rearty feeders, and a large amount of
milk very rich cannot be produced |
from a scauty supply of food.
Nearly Everybody 1s Superstitious,
“The amount of mental suffering ig-
norant people undergo from the fear of
ill omens being fulfilled is inconceivable
to persons of well balanced minds,” said
a well known physician.
This doctor spent two years at one of
the charity hospitals on Ward’s Island,
and while there bad an excellent oppor-
tunity for observing many peculiarities
and various phases of humanity among
the out casts of a great city, Continu.
ing after a short reverie the doctor said :
“Of course superstitions have existed
and will exist as long as there remains a
belief in the myteriesof future life. It
is seldom admitted by persons of intelli-
gence that they are, to a greater or less
degree, at all subject to the uneasy feel-
ing an unscanny event will produce.
But it 1s really an exceptional thing to
find a person who has no superstitions
whatever. Generally the presentiments
are so unimportant that they are but
seldom alluded to by the one experien-
ing them, and are soon forgotten. But
that they do exist in nearly every mind
is undoubtedly true.”

——1In one respect Ireland receives
her highest recognition in Chili. The
newest irorclad is the Captain Prat, an-
other being the O'Higgins, and another
the Admirante Lynch. The O’Hig-
gins, is named after Bernardo O'Higgins
whose father, born in a laborer’s cottage
in the county Westmeath, emigrated to
South America in the early part of
the last century and rose to distinction
in different parts of the continent. The
father, Ambrose, was one of the last
Spanish Viceroys of Peru, and the son,
Bernardo, was the first Director of the
Republic of Chili. Bernardo O'Higgins
is the Washington of his country. He
it was who was mainly instrumental in
winning the independence of Chili at
the beginning of this century, and the
grateful country has given his name to
a province and a war ship, and has
erected a statue in his honor in its cap-
ital.

Ringing noises in the ears, some-
times a roaring buzzing sound are caus-
ed by catarrh, that exceedingly disa-
greeable and very common disease.
Loss of smell or hearing also result ftom
catarrh. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the great

remedy for this disease, which is cured
by purifying the blood. If you suffer

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 in a community where
people enjoy good health,
than among dyspeptic com-
plainers, growlers and suf-

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, groceties,
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
