Farm Notes.
We ought to encourage men to set-
tle on little tracts of land and grow
fruits and vegetables and make homes
for themselves. It is for the best inter-
est of the Republic.
There is danger of frost as late as
the middle of May in this section, and
frost has appeared as late as June. In
putting in seeds of tender plants this
risk must always be considered.
A little ditch here and there or the
cutting away of a ridge will often drain
away the surplus water, Such work
may not be but a few minutss, but will
greatly facilitate the drying of the soil.
Cut down the old plants of sweet
alyssum that have been blooming dur-
ing the winter. It will roon start a
new growth and make fine plants.
The cuttings should be placed in moist
sand.
It is always best to label everything
you plant in the flower and vegetable
garden, especially if there are several
varieties of the same kind of flowers or
vegetables, in order to avoid confusion
later in the season.
Cut-worms are much less trouble-
some on land which has not been cov-
ered with vegetation the preceding fall,
and care in cleaning the ground as soon
as crops can be removed is an assis-
tance in contending with them.
Strong colonies of bees only produce
crops of honey. Weak colonies will
not only fail to lay up a store but will
be robbed by the stronger colonies.
Labor will be saved by providing the
bees with foundation combs in the
hives.
When the farmer fails to get the
best growth possible on pigs while
suckling he loses his greatest opportu-
nity to make pork cheaply. It is a
mistake to think that a pig must be
four or five months old before it will
pay to give 1t much care,
S. H. Warren, ai the meeting of the
Powfret, (Vt.) Farmers’ Club, recom-
mended specialties in farming, He
eaid that every farmer is better adapt-
ed to some one branch of farming than
any other, and should make a specialty
of what he is best adapted to.
Start the pansies in shallow boxes
as early as you can. A temperature of
75 degrees will gnit them best. Use
rich soil mixed with one-third sand.
Transplant in the open air as soon as
they are of proper size. Be sure and
haveseveral colors if you wish to secure
the most pleasing effect when they
bloom.
A rule for covering seeds is to add a
covering four times the thickness of
the seed. As some seeds are very
small only a slight sprinkiing of the
soil will suffice. If the soil is heavy
seeds cannot push through if covered
too much, and the consequence is not
only a loss of the seed but also of time
and labor.
Flower seeds of the hardy kinds may
be sown. Cover very lightly. One of
the principal causes of loss in the fail-
ure of flower seeds to germinate is too
much covering. Simply brush them
in.Select those varieties that|give ajsuc-
cession of bloom, which is fully ex-
plained in nearly all the catalogues of
seedsmen.
Work in the garden is very pleasant
in spring, as the weather is then cool
and the ground not very dry and bard.
Ladies who make a specialty of flowers,
or early vegtetables, will find the out-
door work very beneficial. The chil-
dren should each have a little plot for
their own use also as a means of enjoy-
ment.
It is an easy matter to grow onions
for pickling, as they should be of small
size. Sow the seed very thickly in the
rows, and use the mild Italian varieties,
such as the Queen. These onions will
also grow to large size, but for pick-
ling the thick sowing of seed, so as to
crowd the plants, will prevent rapid
growth,
Get your beds ready for the sweet
potato plants and use only seed that is
free from rot. It is best to procure
seed from some section where the po-
tato is not affected by rot, if possible.
There are several forms of rot, one of
them being generated in the soil. For
this reason itis well to set out the
plaats on a new location every year.
Do not set the hens in damp loca-
tions, as it is a mistake to suppose that
moist nests are necessary for sitting
hens. Such nests may answer for mid-
summer, but at this season of the year
the best results will be obtained in
hatching when the hens have dry,
warm, comfortable nests. When the
chicks are out do not feed them for
twenty-four hours, as they will require
that period of time during which to
fully absorb the yelk which nature
provides as their first food.
There is no necessity for keeping the
hot-beds too warm. As long as there
is no danger from sudden frosts or
changes of weather give the plants as
much sun and air as can be safely done.
Hot-bed plants should be made "accus-
tomed to the outside influence as much
as possible while in the hot-bed, so that
when they are transplanted they will
not be checked in growth by the change.
Should the hot-bed generate more heat
than is desired make a few holes with
a stick, in the soil of the hot bed, and
pour cold water in the bo'es.
The sugar-beet industry is destined
at some time to be a leading one, and
as the beet thrives in every State in
the Union it will be a leading crop over
a wide extent of territory. Every year
the problems of beet growing and the
making of beet sugar are being solved,
but the surest mode of educating the
farmers is for them to grow experimen-
tal trial patches, keeping an account of
the expense. The crop will always be
worth more than its cost for feeding to
stock, even if not used for producing ' fa
‘sugar.
Facts about Bats.
“It is a curious fact,’, said a naturalist
to a Star reporter, ‘that bats have the
power of directing their flight as well as
if they saw, even when deprived of their
eyes. Under such a conditions they will
fly about a room with perfect ease, avoid-
ing with accuracy the funiture and
other objects against which they might
be expected to strike. With an equal
address blinded bats will shun the most
delicate obstacles, even silken threads
stretched in such a manner as to leave
just space enough for them to pass with
their wings expanded. © When the
threads are placed nearer together, they
will contract their wings in order to go
between them without touching.
“The reason for this is that the large
membranous wings of the bat, which
sustain him in strong and rapid flight
and enable him to make abrupt turns in
the noiseless pursuit of insect prey, are
organs of touch of marvelous delicacy,
being provided with most acutely sensi-
tive nerve fibres at the roots of the fine
hairs with which the winged membrane
is covered. Through this perceptive
means the amimal is warned of its ap-
proach {o any object.”’-- Washington
Star.
A Power in the Land.
Lift your hat reverently when you
meet the teacher of the primary school.
She is the good angel of the republic.
She takes the little bantling, fresh from
the home nest and full of his pouts and
his passions, an ungovernable little
wretch, whose own mother honestly ad-
mits she sends him to school to get rid
of him. This young lady, who knows
her business, takes a whole carload of
these anarchists, half of whom, single
handed and alone are more than a
match for both their parents, and at
once puts them in the way of being use-
ful and upright citizens. At what ex-
pense of toil and weariness! Her’s is
the most responsible position in the
whole school, and if her salary were
doubled she would receive less than she
earns.

Itis a fact, established by the testimony
of thousande of people, that Hood's
Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt
rheum. and other diseases or affections
arising from impure state or low condi-
tion of the blood. It also overcomes
that tired feeling, creates a good appe-
tite, and gives strength to every part of

CROQUETTES OF CHICKEN AND RICE.
Boil gently haifa pound of rice in a
quart of water or broth for half an hour,
then add three ounces of butter. Sim-
mer until quite dry and soft. When cold
make into balls ; hollow out the inside
and fill with minced chick made rather
thick. Cover over with rice, dip the
balls into the yelk of an egg, sprinkle
over them some bread-crumbs and fry a
nice brown. Before the rice cools add a
little cream or milk.
