Farm Notes.
The refuse of the crop from an acre
‘of tomatoes contains more fertilizing
material than similar remains of most
other crops.
Heavy horses are chiefly needed in
crowded cities where horses cannot
move rapidly, and where heavy loads
are necessary. For the country, a dif-
ferent sort of horses is wanted.
‘Pigs are useful in a small fruit or-
chard to eat the fallen fruit, and thus
destroy the larvee. But to have the
work well and promptly done the
proportion of trees and pigs should har-
monize.
Milk is somewhat variable, but what
is called Borden’s standard—five and
five eighth pounds per gallon—is now
accepted as the standard for milk, not
only in our own country, but in all
Europe.
In some sections of our happy coun-
try goats and sheepareused for “‘sprout-
ing” new land. Starvation—or the
principle of “root, hog or die”—is the
motive power. But it never makesthe
animals fat.
There is the same difference of con-
etitution in the various weeds of our
gardens. The ragweed, chickweed and
pigweed germinate very early, the
smartweed later, and after hot weather
begins the greatest pest of all, purslane,
begins to sprout.
The California Fruit- Grower says that
sorrel can be eradicated by an applica-
tion of twenty-five pounds of slaked
lime to the square rod, applied broad-
cast. Digging and cultivating seems
only to spread and encourage the pest
to make renewed efforts.
Corn-cobs contain some nutritive
matter and are useful for feeding when
ground with the corn if the meal is
made fine enough to be digested. A
number of mills are new made fer
grinding the cob and grain together,
but some of them only crush it. In
buying select a mill that reduces it all
to fine meal,
Ifany great success is to be made in
farming, the man must follow that par-
Tin of farming which he likes
so well that he can put his whole soul
iato it, giving it that thorough investi-
gation which will enable him to fully
understand it in all its details, and
grow it in the cheapest and best man-
ner.
Everyinow and then some writer in
the stock journals suggests a proper ra-
tion for an animal based on its size or
weight, in spite of the fact that this is
about the least reliable guide one can
have, Almost every one knows that
men do not eat in proportion to their
gize and weight, and wveither do cows,
A gardener who has tested it for
three years tells the Home Journal that
broken pieces of bone do much better
than broken crockery for draining
flower-pots. The plants suck the fer-
tilizing quality out of the bones and
make such a vigorous growth that the
plants in pots supplied with bones
could be told at once.
All kinds of plants make consider-
able growth at the root before the
eaves start much, and this root-growth
akes place with plants like cabbages,
onions, pansies, etc.. at very low tem-
peratures, scarcely above freezing. But
the roote of the tender plants stand
still in cold weather and even decay if
it is long continued.
Analyses of cottonseed indicate that
in one ton of it are 134.6 pounds of ni-
trogen, 60.5 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 35.8 pounds of potash. This
would show the material to be rich in
manurial constituents With this right
at our door in unlimited quantities and
low in price 1t would seem that the fer-
tilizer question could be easily settled.
To show how much our English
friends are ahead of us in some things,
we may cite a measure recently intro-
duced into Parliament, providing for
the official registration of farriers and
shoeing-smiths throughout that conn-
try. It is proposed that no one will be
permitted to shoe horses who has not
obtained a diploma from the Farriere’
Company, and this can be had only
after careful examination of the man’s
practical and technical knowledge of
the business.
Maple sirup, to be pure and just
right to eat, says a Utica paper,should
weigh about 11% pounds to the gallon.
‘When poured out in a glass it should
be clear and amber hued, without con-
taining dark streaks. If, after 1t has
stood in the dish a few hours, a dark
sediment 1s found in the bottom, it is
not pure maple sirup, even though the
man who made it should cut down the
tree from which he claimed the sap
was drawn and haal it to your door in
proof of his claim.
Poland China swine are properly re-
cognized as one of the leading breeds.
They possess great powers of assimila-
tion, making the most of every particle
of f>od that they received. They are
of a quiet temperament, make a fine
quality of meat, and give but a very
smali per cent. of offal in the dressed
carcass. They are good graziers.
thriving and making growth on grass
and clover from spring until autumn.
Aud they possess the valuable quality
of being able to fatten off rapidly at
any age, as soon as put on grain.
Recent discoveries of scientists oc-
curring simnltaneously in widely sepa-
rated portions of the world in the ab.
sence of concerted action of concurrent
knowledge, established the fact that
the air issupplied with unlimited stores
of fertilizing elements, which are de-
signed to be used by plants by the
adoption of a system of agriculture cal-
culated to develop the supplies of fer-
tility from all the sources of supply,
both in the air and in the earth to great
depths. Fertility is supplied in abund-
-ance, but to use it for the promotion of
the growth of plants is the purpose of
all agricultural efforts.
Out of Town.
A crippled child was taken out of the
slums in Philadelphia one summer toa
farm house among the hills, where she
remained for a fortnight. It was her
first visit to the country. The next sum-
mer tha farmer’s wife Went to the city
to find the child, and to bring her home
with her. But want and foul air had
conquered. She was dying.
“] wish I could go,” shesaid, with
eager eyes. ‘‘Are the fields green this
vear ? And arethe trees growing the
same way still ?”’
A poor shopgirl, with some of her
companions, was taken by a good woman
to the seashore for the first time. Her
friend, seeing her standing alone on the
beach, went up to her and found her
weeping.
“Hxcuse me, ma’am,”’ she said, “but
I’m not used to these swell things,”
Do werealize that there are in this
free, bountiful country people so poor
that the sea and fields and all good
things seem to belong only to the
“swell” rich ?
Children’s relief and fresh air funds
are doing much in our cities to give to
the overworked poor in their garrets and
alleys a glimpse of the eountry during
the summer, but there are still countless
thousands who are left behind.— Youth's
Companion.
Trifling Things in Court.
Very trifling things sometimes go very
far in the courts. The supreme court of
the United States has ended a costly and
long controversy by ruling upon the
question, “Is the tomato a fruit ora
vegetables ?” About $20,000 has been
expended in the celebrated ‘Jones county
calf case,” in Iowa, in which the owner-
ship of a calf valued at fifteen dollars is
involved. A Medina county ( O.) farmer
a few years ago refused to pay taxes on
four mooleys on the ground that the
law provided for the taxation of “all
horned cattle of whatsoever kind,”
whereas the four cows had uo horns.
This case was ended in the circuit court
after the costs had eaten up the value of
the defendant’s farm. A suit for taxes
in which the Standard Oil company is
involved to the extent of several hun-
dred thousand dollars in Pennsylvania
and Ohio hangs upon the insertion of a
comma in an Ohio statute.—Chicago
Mail.
Shook the Deacon.
In the course of his sermon Rev. Mec-
Lend told the congregation that if any
among them were asleep they had better
wake up or they would miss hearing a
good story. Much to the amusement of
the congregation one old man left his
seat, advanced a few steps up the aisle,
grasped another old man by the shoulder,
and, after giving him a sound shake,
whispered in his ear sufficiently loud
enough to be heard in all parts of the
church : “Brother! Wakeup! The
elder is going to tell a story. If you
would keep better hours Saturday nights
you would be able to keep awake during
church services.” The unlooked for
scene caused an audible titter in nearly
every pew in the church, which in many
cases had not entirely ceased when the
benediction was pronounce.-- Sun Parire

Magic Button Holes.
Erie Dispatch.
A good story is told on a young man
who makes his home at a Water street
hotel. A couple of days ago he bought
a cheap suit of clothes, and while show-
ing them to some friends at the hotel
discovered that the maker of the vest
forgot to put in any button holes.
With the declared intention of making
a grand kick the next morning, the
young man laid the clothes away, Dur-
ing the evening a kind friend saw to it
that the vest was properly equipped with
button holes, saying nothing about it to
the owner. The kick was made the
next morning, as intended, but the man
who sold the goods was not slow to dis-
cover that the vest was all right, and
now a certain young man is wandering
what was wrong with him the night be-
sore.
I have been a sufferer from ca-
tarrh for years. Having tried a number
of remedies advertised as ‘‘sure cures’
without obtaining any relief, I had re-
solved never to take any other patent
medicines, when a friend advised me to
try Ely’s Cream Balm. I did so with
great reluctance, but can now testify
that after using it for six weeks I believe
myself cured. Tt isa most agreeable
remedy—an invaluable Balm.—J oseph
