Farm Notes.
Constantly cutting back Canada
thistles as often as they appear will de-
stroy them in two years. Wherever
you see a head hit it.
I have no hesitation, after five years
of actual experience, in saying that no
dairy farmer can afford to be without
a silo.—@G. H. Whitcher.
Remember, pasturing takes five
acres to each cow for six months; soil-
ing feeds a cow on one acre for six
months; ensilage feeds a cow on one
acre for a whole year.
If you are shipping milk for retail-
ing or are delivering it to a factory cool
it to 60 degrees or less as soon as possi-
ble after drawing from the cow, and
have it shaded while on the road.
Some horticulturists assert that high
cultivation of the raspberry and black-
berry not only increases them in size,
but make them mores able to resist the
encroachment of the various fungoid
diseases.
So far as possible keep the foliage of
the trees free from devouring insects.
The present harm done is not so much
as preventing the tree from laying up
for itself nutriment in the wood struct-
ure to keep it alive through "the win-
ter.
In the cultivation of the quince it is
a mistake to be afraid of using the
knife. Itis a bush that needs young
wood on it to give blossoms, and a
yearly pruning insures this. Cut away
twigs here and there, keeping in mind
to havea good shape to it.
One of the most serious mistakes
made in the management of cows, says
Professor Stewart, is milking them
while they are feeding. This common-
ly causes a serious diminution of the
milk, various irritative results on the
temper of the cow and the consequen-
tial permanent injury to the animal.
When sheep hurdle together and
keep their noses close to the ground,
especially if the ground is loose, it in-
dicates attacks from the gadfly, which
deposits its eggs in the nostrils, caus-
ing what is known as grub in the head.
Keep the nostrils of the sheep well
smeared with wood tar.
Ifa farmer tries to set a good exam-
dle to his hired help, by digging as fast
as his strength will permit on one part
of his farm, others will be suffering for
want of his attention. Itis not possi-
ble for him to do as much hard work
as his best man and at the same time
keep himself informed of the best time
to do everything.
A writer in Our Dumb Animals says
that whenever a horse. driven by him-
self has balked he has got out of his
carriage and gone to its fore foot, lifted
it from the ground and struck the shoe
a few blows with a stone. He has nev-
er failed to start a horse in that very
simple way, and he has, on several oc-
casions, had balky horses which had
exhausted the patience of all former
owners.
Does it pay for the ordinary farmer
to keep bees? is a.question that is con-
sidered more or less open by thousands
of agriculturists. Is it true also that,
as some would seem to assert, thous-
ands of ‘tons of honey are going to
waste in this country very year be-
cause there are not enough bees to
gather it? We would like an opinion
from any of our readers that may be
engaged in the keeping of bees.
Sheep, with other animals, like a
variety of food, and are especially fond
of browse. Hence they are excellert,and
do well on rough, woody land, or pas-
tures disposed to run to bush and tim-
ber, which would not be so suitable
for pasturing cows: Short pasturage
is better for sheep. It is not’only-ten-
der and sweeter, but it is not so liable
to harbor moisture and insects injuri-
ous to sheep.
Last year a total of 3,730,000 cattle
were slaughtered in the West, against
3,050,000 in the preceding year, an in-
crease of 22 per cent. This fairly re-
presents the rate of growth. Ot this
total by far the greater part is for con-
sumption in this country, probably
one-seventh of it going abroad, inas-
much as the aggregate weight of beef
exclusive of tallow, exported last year
was 398,215,561 pounds. .
The sleeping quarters of the hogs
should be arranged to allow plenty of
room. If they crowd during the
warm nights they will lose flesh from
want of rest, as those in the centre will
become too warm and restless. Large
hogs should be separated from smaller
ones, and good, dry bedding provided
to all. Crowding is detrimental in
summer as well as in winter.
Coal ashes do not contain any mate-
rial of value for plant foods. It is
made up mostly of silica, of which there
is already plenty in the soils. However
itis valuable on many soilsin that it
may improve their physical condition.
On heavy land it has a tendency to
keep the soil loose and light, while it
makes light land more retentive. They
are most excellent ag a mulch arcund
currant bushes and other fruit plants.
After-swarm bees can be made just
as profitable as any for the next season,
and with very little cost, which will be
the feeding of them. If one desires in-
crease rather than honey then it is a
very good way to allow them to come
out. They increase very fast, some-
times as many as four or five swarms
from one stand, and unless prevented
will soon make a large apiary. But
one working for honey does not want
any after-swarms.
The merino and Southdown sheep
are better adapted for hilly sections
than the larger breeds, as they are
more active and forage over a greater
area of ground. They can also be kept
in larger flocks than the large breeds.
They make excellent improvement if
used for crossing on common flocks,
the merino being the best of all wool-
producing sheep, while the Southdown

A comfortable house
ers, and a kitchen garden with abun-
dance of vegetables and small fruits,
fortable living. Such surroundings
tone up the man, stimulate his ambi-
tion, make him enjoy and appreciate
his home, inspire him with zest in his
business, and help him to secure sue-
cess. The influence and importance of
such surroundings are too little consid:
ered and appreciated.
The Dairy Side of Jay Gould.
From an Interview with John A. Cock-
erill in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
ever churn ?”’
I said that I had a recollection of a
peculiar up-and-down churn I used to
operate when I was a boy, and which
adolescent hands.
ly and continued:
“The churn that I have in my mind
was a different one, and it had a great
deal to do with my career. My father
had a little dairy farm in Delaware
county, and the special products of that
farm were butter and ch:ese. We had
a rotary churn, which was operated by a
treadmill, on which we worked a large
dog and sometimes a sheep. In course
of time the dog and sheep came to un-
derstand what was in store for them
He smiled pleasant-
place setting the churn up. Thereupon
they were in the habit of disappearing.
On such occasions, to supply the miss-
ing motor, I was pressed into service,
and eventually I came to understand
that when the churn was being prepar-
ed I, too, was in danger of involuntary
servitude: so I used to disappear. On
one occasion, however, I remonstrated
so bitterly against being made the sub-
stitute of the dog that my father chus-
tised me with a good deal of severity
and after brooding over the matter all
night I concluded to leave the farm and
seek my fortune elsewhere. So, like
many anothers boy, I packed up my few
clothes, and in the early morning left
the farm and started out into the world
for myself.”
1t was thus that this man who holds
the finances of the United States in the
hollow of his hand, as it were, was pro-
jected into the world from an obscure
country farm! What struck me in
this conversation was the modest way
in which Mr. Gould subordinated his in-
tellect to that of the dog and the sheep.
“I have known men,” he said later,
“who would after achieving a small or
striking success in ‘Wall street, spend
several days in glorification of their
achievement, guzzling champagne in
barrooms indiscriminately. I never
did anything in that line.”
Mr. Gould’s remarks on this subject
led to a question which, under the cir-
cumstances, was not at all impertinent.
This was as to what his favorite tipple
really was. He said in reply :
“I have never been able to drink spir-
its with any satisfaction I would like
to drink claret, and I have tried very
hard to make it a part of my daily regi-
men, but it does not agree with me.
find, indeed, that the only thing that I
can depend upon as a suitable drink tor
for meis warm milk. Now, when I
have had a particular busy day and
have been under an unusual strain, I
find that I don’t sleep very well; so I
never go to bed at all without having
a small spirit lamp by my bedside and
a pint or two of good, fresh milk in a
pan. When I become aware that I am
wakeful and restless I light the lamp,
warm the milk, drink a little of it and
immediately fall asleep.”

Aibert Edward's Rudeness.
A strange story of the rudeness of a
member of the royal family of England
comes to The Man About Town direct
from a lady correspondent at Edin burgh.
A fair was in progress there and Mrs.
Langtry was selling coffee at one of the
booths; Enter the Prince of Wales,

Looking Backward Over the War.
Mr. John C. Ropes, writing in Serib-
the American people can begin to look
He him-
self does this to some extent in his pa-
per entitled, “The War as We See It
ow.” One grand lesson it teaches is, in
his judgment, shown in splendid exbibi-
tion it gives of the pluck and persever-
ance of the Anglo-Saxon race asdis-
played beth North and South. “The war
thus becomes psychologically interest-
ing as an exhibition of the Anglo-Saxon
race on trial, and on a grand theater.”
As to the conduct of the war by the
Union there can be no doubt, says Mr.
Ropes, that an enormous amount of
money was nnnecessarily spent, a great
many men were needlessly sacrificed
‘and a great deal of time was uselesly
The financier asked me, “Did you .
consumed. President Linclon, the Illi-
nois lawyer, had to learn the whole
theory and art of war. Here the Seuth
had the advantage, for Jefferson Davis
was educated at West Point, had seen
much actual fighting and had likewise
been secretary of war. But this again
made a drawback, for it made the head
of the Confederacy interfere constantly
in military matters and exercise his own
personal preferences in appointments.
Military knowledge therefore increased
in the north much more than inthe
south.
Politics interfered constantly and rvin-
ously in the military appointments
Lincoln felt himself obliged to make,
and lack of a sound military judgment
at Washington for the first three years
protracted the struggle by expendng
our efforts in useless or ill considered
lans. On both sides the generals were
better strategists away from battle than
they were actual tacticians on the field
in a fight. They could manage an
army botter than a battle. A brillant
exception to this criticism Mr. Ropes
considers to be Gen, Thomas’ plannng
and fighting of the battle of Nashville.
Again it was not till toward the close
of the war our generals learned that the
best use to which cavaley can be pus is
the making of reconnaissances snd
gaining information, and otherwise oper-
ating in conjunction with the main
army. In the light through which we
now look we find that cavalry raids,
however brilliant, were practically al-
most useless. Moreover very grave
mistakes were made in the management
of the northern army by the formation
of new regiments instead of filling up
the veteran ranks. For this reason the
northern army in the east was never so
efficient as in the autumn of 1863.
After Gettysburg, too, the weakened
southern army never recovered its
strength.

Why He Quit Courting.
A good story is told of a man in Bath,
Me., who although a widower and pret-
ty well along in years is as much of a
gallant as ever, and has lately been
paying attention to a lady in another
town. This gay widower has a luxuri-
ant beard, but i% is liberally streaked
with gray, and the other day when he
started out to vist bis new intended he
went to a drug store and ordered a pre-
pitta for dyeing his whiskers black.
hen he went home and proceeded to
beautify himself. After a hasty and
generous application of the stuff, how-
ever, he made a horrible discovery—his
beard was not dyed black, but a pro-
nounced sky blue. He made frantic
efforts to remove the color, but it sticks
like grim death and he doesn’t go court-
ing any more.
