Farm Notes.
The best bred animals are the most
costly, but they bring the best prices
when stock is to be sold. Quality is a
factor that cannot be overlooked.
Cows are like other animals, and
even men and women. They need
fresh air, sunlight and exercise—not
horse-racing exercise, but cow exercise,
injwalkingjaround.
An exchange says: “We can never
hope for the blessing of uniformly good
roads throughout the country until the
care of them is delegatzd to skillful and
competent hands.”
A good garden, a good orchard and
a quantity of poultry are of first econ-
omy on a farm. Health and strength
depend largely upon these articles of
diet, and a farmer may and should sup-
ply them himself.
President J. D. W. French said at a
meeting of the Ayreshire Association:
“Milk records are good but more mis-
sionary work among the farmers who
worship at the shrine of the scrub bull
will be better.”
Why do not our dairymen grow
more peas and beans, substituting the
meal made of these for cottonseed meal?
Ifit is not as good, it is nearly so, and
enables the farm to come so much near-
er to running itself.
Dr. Peter Collier, Director of the
New York Experiment Station, de-
clares that the saving of the expenses
of 1 cent a day on each cow in the
State would amount to over $6,000,000
a year. We see by this how little
things mount into large ones.
The Jersey Bulletin tersely puts it in
this way: “The shorter the time be-
tween the cow and the counter, the bet-
ter the price of butter, if it is good.
Ripening and rotting begin and end
with the same letters, but there is a
world of difference between the two.
Fine, rich compost, or rich earth, is
the best fertilizer for flowers. Roses
should be cultivated by raking the sur-
face of the ground around them. It in-
jures some varieties to stir the ground
deep. Super-phosphate is an excellent
fertilizer for shrubs and other hardy
bloomers. -
It is claimed, and we believe it is
true, that pea meal or bean meal fed to
cows at the rate of about two pounds
of the meal to four of wheat! bran daily
makes a most excellent grain ration.
We ought to draw our nitrogen from
the atmosphere instead of buying it;
and this we can do by growing peas,
beans and clover.
Good ventilation for a milk-house,
milk-cellar or dairy-room is most es-
sential, and may be provided for by
leading an air drain under ground for
say 200 feet. Through it a supply of
pure, fresh, cool air may be admit ted.
The foul or warm air may be allowed
to escape through ventilators or win-
dows in or near the ceiling.
Rural New Yorker's plan for destroy-
ing the asparagus beetle is to go over
the plantation as soon as the stems are
a few inches above the ground and rub
off the eggs. A single movement of
the hand inclosing the shoots suffices.
Do this again in a week, Then again
in another week. There will be no
larvee to destroy the plants.
Mr. Jackson Dawson, 1n an admir-
able article 1n the Garden and Forest, is
of the opinion that by careful selection
and hybridization the huckleberry may
be developed into a most excellent
fruit. He says the time will come
when every garden will have its im-
proved blueberries and raspberries.
In answer to the subscriber who
asks whether sheep should be fed tur-
nips while carrying lambs we would
say that the moderate feeding of tur-
nips or other root crops at that time 1s
not considered by good shepherds in-
jurious to either sheep or lambs, but
too heavy feeding of any root is. The
same is true of ensilage, as far as the
lambs are concerned. :
Experiments made in France with
the sunflower gave a freturn of 1778
pounds of seed from an acre, yielding
15 per cent, of oil (275 pounds) and 80
per cent. of cake. The product varies,
of course, with the kind, the climate,
the soil. The common oil is used
chiefly for woolen dressing, lighting,
and soap making in Europe. The pu-
rified article is largely employed for ta-
ble 28, and is considered equal to ol-
1ve oil,
Churning cousists in uniting the but-
ter globules or fat into a bunch and in-
to a mass. When they are hard, and
do not possess any or but little adhe-
sive quality,they will not readily unite.
This ie the trouble when the cream 1s
cold. They will not stick together,
All the feed of our cows was very car-
bonaceous except the few quarts of
wheat bran, and they needed the lin-
seed meal to go with the bran to bal-
ance the other foods.
Do you want a good and cheap food
for your hogs, one that will keep them
in good condition, and make them
grow? If so, keep them in pens and
feed them on grass and weeds. At
night give them a mess of ship-stuff
(middlings) soaked in plenty of water,
with a little salt to season it, and you
will need no corn, bran or anything
else, although a small quantity of milk
once in a while will help. Make your
pork from grass and weeds, as it can
be done at littie cost.
Much valuable time is often lost by
& breakdown in a busy time, for no
other reason than carelessness in hous-
ing the broken im plement without at-
tending to the repairs. How often a
tongue is broken off a mower, binder or
sulky plow, and the cause traceable to
the reason mentioned. The tongues of
all farm implements should be often
well painted, especially on top. Re- |
solve to erect
as not to allow them to be exposed to
another year’s storm.

Cycling No Longer a Fad.
The bicycle has come to stay. Itis
not a craze-—one of the many thatsweep
through the land like the latest fashion.
It has established itself among the per-
manent utilities. Of course it is not
equally adaptedto every country, nor
to every portion!of any country; but
wherever the roads are goed and not too
steep it will more and more come into
practical use.
Already bicycles and tricycles are ex-
tensively used in England as economi-
cal substitutes for horses, needing no
barn, no feed, no grooming and no med-
ical care.
With such a machine the pastor easily
makes his call in the most distant parts
of his parish. The country doctor finds
it still better suited to his needs, ready
at the most sudden and urgent call, and
able to wait at the patient’s door with
no risk from cold however long the
visit.
‘With its aid, too, the traveler ex-
plores the country on roads far removed
from railways, and in its most pictures-
que parts. The bicycle must have a
great future in the level west. The re-
lation of good roads to its use is seen at
Washingten, where many thousand bi-
cycles noiselessly roll over the smoothly
cemented streets.
But the utility of the bicycle is not
confined to the more practical ends of
locomotion. It furnishes a new means
of valuable exercise. This exercise is
exhilarating. It isin the open air, and
the rider is not forced to it for his health
but drawn to it by anticipations of
pleasure.

The Chaplain Gave Back the Cards.
“I had a rather remarkable exper-
ience while I wasa chaplainin the
army,” remarked one of the ministers
at the’pastors’ union.
“What was it ?”
“I had been working and talking to
the boys about gambling, and they fin-
nally turned all their cards in thecamp
over to me. The next day they were
paid off. The following day I was pass-
ing out and saw w blanket spread out
with two lumps of sugar on one corner,
and about half the mon®y <n the camp
spread out.”
“What were they doing ?”
“They were betting on which lump
of sugar a fly would first light, and all
the money on the blanket changed hands
on the result.”
“What did you say to the boys ?”’
“I said © “Here, boys come get your
cards,”
RinGiNG Norses.—In the ears, some-
times a roaring buzzing sound, are °
caused by catarrh, that exceedingly dis-
agreeable and very common disease.
Loss of smell or hearing also result from
catarrh. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the great
blood purifier, is a peculiarly successful
remedy for this disease, which it cures
by purifying the blood. If you suffer
from catarrh, try Hood's Sarsaparilla,
the peculiar medicine.
—— “The Boston Base Ball Club
seems to be doing well.”
“I'm glad of it, for Boston has heen
having rather hard luck lately.”
“In what respect ?”
“Why, the late cold snap blighted the
bean ciop throughout the country.”
——1I am an old man and have been a
constant sufferer with catarrh for the
last ten years. I am entirely cured by
the Use of Ely’s Cream Balm. It is
strange that so simple a remedy will
cure such a stubborn disease.—Henry
Billings, U. S. Pension Att'y, Wash-
ington, D. C.
——The Wife £ A, M.)——“When
you married me did you not promise to
love, cherish and protect me ?”’
“The Husband (sleepily.)—*Yes.”
‘Well, then get up, light the gas and
kill that mosquito.”
——4Let observation with extended
view, survey good things from China to
Peru’ and he will not find anything of
such astonishing merit in killing all the
pains that flesh is heir to, as Salvation
Oil, as he will know, when he has given
1t a fair trial.
——Requires no boiling, no cooking.

ing properties and the best food for in-

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-
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
