Farm Notes.
Sink-holes and puddles are more in-
jurious in summer than in the winter.
Fill them up.
It is useless to store hay or fodder
under a roof that leaks. A leak may
let in but a drop of water at a time, but
the loss will be 20 or 100 times the
cost of repairing the roof,
Several parties in New Jersey are
preparing to graft large areas of natur-
al chestuut suckers in timber clearings
with Numbo, Paragon and other large
varieties, with a view to creating chest.
nut orchards of them,
The summer season is very trying on
hogs that are confined in pens with no
shade. Corn should be fed very spar-
ingly at this season, or omitted alto-
gether. Keep the trough full of fresh
water.
Nitrate of soda is said to be one of
the best fertilizers that have been tried
on peach trees, when uted in connec-
tion with wood ashes, but no doubt a
combination of the nitrate, ashes and
ground bone would be more complete
and satisfactory.
Any cultivation which disturbs the
fine root of growing plants is an injury.
Deep cultivation, therefore, after the
roots have spread through the soil
should be avoided. This applies to
everything that you grow. Clean shal-
low culture and plenty of it should be
the rule!
Dairymen should remember that
lessening the cost in producing milk is
quite as short a cut to the profits, and
equally as certain, as an advance in
price per gallon. Improvement in the
cow, the feed and the management will
insure the first condition, and will most
likely be followed by the second.
Those who are obliged to keep their
poultry confined all the time may, by
giving an hour's liberty just at night,
provide a daily grass ration and quite
a supply of animal‘food without ex-
pense. The amount of ecratching a
ben can do in one hour in the morning
is surprising, but at night this may be
avoided.
Live stock constitute a most impor-
tant branch of farming, if not the most
important. But the “conservatism’—
80 called—of farmers in adhering to
old and antiquated methods for the care
of farm animals greatly aids in creat-
ing the depression of which farmers
complain. Pasturing, for instance, is
a legacy of barbarism.
The birds which have suffered most
from the English sparrow, and those
we missthe most from our lawns,parks
and fields are the robin, bluebird, wren
song sparrow, chipping sparrow, yel-
low bird, oriole and catbird. The spar-
row not only drives away and some-
times kills the adult bird, but destroys
the nests and throws out the eggs and
young.
Mr. Jackson Dawson is reported as
having said before a meeting of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
that Epigea repeni (the well-known
trailing arbutus or Mayflower) can be
grown successfully if nice clumps are
selected and grown in a frame or green
house one season. It does best in a
northern aspect, or will do well if plant-
ed on the edge of rhododendron beds.
No matter how well a peach orchard
may be fertilized, if grass is permitted
to grow around the trees they will not
thrive. There is always a deeper green
color to the leaves of trees that are
kept clear of grass, even if no fertilizer
is applied, compared with trees that are
not properly worked. The cultivator
should be used in the peach orchard
frequently and the ground kept loose.
J. H. Hale, who has wide experience
with strawberries, writes to the Farm
Journal that he obtains the greatest
possible yield of fine fruit by the nar-
row row system, and not from hills or
from the wide or matted-row system.
The matted row does well when a quan-
tity of new plants are wanted in addi-
tion to the fruit, but they cannot be
kept clear of weeds and grass without
great labor.
The length of time a cow should 20
dry depends upon the breed and the
animal, so that no definite rule can be
given. It is hardly possible to dry off
some cows, but all should have a period
of rest before calving, when it can be
effected. Four weeks may be regarded
as long enough for any cow to go dry.
longer} period than this interferes
seriously with the profit to be attained
from her.
Pickles to be marketable must not
be too large. Care must be taken in
picking them to watch the patch close-
ly, for they will, under favorable cir-
cumstances, grow a great deal in one
night. As soon as they reach the
length of three or four. inches pick
them. Some firms use them much
smaller than that; but in this it will
be necessary to consult the desires of
those to whom they are to be sold.
Sir J.B. Lawes puts 200 pounds each
of phesphate and nitrate of soda per
acre on barley and oats. For winter
wheat he top dresses in spring with
from about 250 to 300 pounds of nitrate
of soda per acre. This should be sow-
ed early while there is plenty of moist-
ure. He prefers vitrate of soda to salts
ofammonia. Itis good for the grass,
even in a dry season. (ras roots were
found four feet deep following the
nitrate. .
If the hens are not laying at this
season look for lice in the poultry house.
As lice multiply with astonishing rap-
idity during warm weather it requires
frequent examination for lice in order
to prevent the poultry house from be-
ing overrun: by the vermin. Crude
petroleum, or kerosene, if well applied,
will destroy lice, but every part of the
poultry house must receive a portion,
and especially the cracks
into which the lice hide.
His Wife Had a Double.
Coughlin Felt Sure a Young Bride-
groom Had Her,
Onicaao, July 16. —Recently John J.
De Garis, a well-known young business
man of Milwaukee, registered with his
bride at the Tremont House here. One
day they attended the ‘Washington Park
races, returning: somewhat late to the
hotel and retiring at once to their
room.
Without the slightest suspicion on
their part a private detective had fol-
lowed them from the race track. Of the
elevator man the spy inquired to what
room the couple had gone, and learned
that they had gotten off at the third
floor. This meagre information he at
once communicated to his employer,
John J. Coughlin, the well-known own.
er of astring of horses which is now at
‘Washington Park and the proprietor of
a Turkish bath establishment.
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
Presently Coughlin appeared at the
hotel. At the races, he said, he had seen
his wife in the company of a stranger,
with whom she appeared to be decidely
intimate and ;affectionate. A detective
whom he had employed located them at
the Tremont. ould the hotel people
help him to find them ? They would,
and they did.
The third floor was carefully searched
for the guilty couple. * Every room with
a light in it was enterered, but the peo-
plejwanted were not found.
As Mr. Coughlin was excitely pacing
up and down the hotel rotunda at bis
wit’s ed to know what to do next, Mr.
De Garis descended the stairs to the
office,
“There's the man! What's the
scoundrel’s name ?”” whispered Coughlin
to the clerk. He was told.
A STUNNER FOR DE GARIS,
“You are Mr. De Garis, I believe,”
said Coughlin to the Milwaukeean as he
and crevices, |
came up to the desk.
“1 am.’
“Well, sir, you have my wife in your
room and I insist upon seeing her at
once. I know what ['m talking abou,”
exclaimed Mr. Coughlin. “I saw you
with your arm around her waist at the
races, and a detective has followed you
to this house. Great God, man! don’t
you suppose I know my own wife ? I
stood within ten feet of you this after-
noon ; there is no hope of a mistake. I
tell you I will not leave this house with-
out her.”
De Garis called the entire office force
to prove that he and his companion had
been at the hotel for the three previous
nights. Still Mr. Coughlin was far
from satisfied. . .
HOW TO IDENTIFY A WIFE.
“I'd take you up, and by introducing
You to my wife prove that she isn’t
yours,” said Mr, De Garis pathetically ;
“but the trouble is I’ve only been mar-
ried four days, and I don’t want to
spring this sort of a thing on her just at
the start. Now, isn’t there some one
you could call in who knows your wife
and could tell whether or not this is
she 7”
There were many such persons, and
Mr. Coughlin agreed to leave the ques-
tion to such a settlement,
A boy at Couglin’s place was sent for.
On his arrival it was decided that he
should impersonate a bell-boy and carry
up a pitcher of ice-water to Mrr De Ga-
ris’ room, where he would takea careful
look at its occupant.
The plan was carried out, and the boy
returned with the positive statement
that the woman was Mrs. Coughlin.
He saw her every day and could not be
mistaken,
HER VOICE SETTLED IT.
It was presently decided to send the
boy again to the room and allow him to
enter into conversation with its occu-
pant.
On his return the second time the boy
said that he had been mistaken.
Finally it was decided to send a de-
tective to Mr. Coughlin’s home. The
counterpart of the woman up-stairs was
found there. A letter of apology was
sent to Mr. De Garis the next day.

How to Wear High Heels.
“This prejudice against high heels is
a mistake,” remarked a shoemaker
reader of the Kansas City Globe, as he
prepared to place an additional lift”
upon the end of a shoe which he held
on his Jap.
“It depends entirely upon the natur-
al shape of the foot. People with a
high instep require high heels, and it is
only the flat-footed who feel easy with
low heels. :
“Slippers are positively injurious to
most persons, especially if they attempt
to do any unusual amount of walking
in them. The low heels give no support
to the ankles and cause the ankies to
break down.
“Any person who finds, in breaking
in a new pair of shoes, that there is a
pain across the instep, should know at
once that the heels of the shoes are
too low. Iam satisfied that children
suffer a great deal from this ca use,
Every individual should learn by ex-
perience how high the heels of his
shoe should be and select accordingly.”

Excitement In Tarpen Fishing.
“I see,’’ said Dick Quay the other ev-
ening, “that Mr. Dabbs has a tarpon on
exhibition which he caught in Florida
waters. The average weight of this fish
is from 100 to 130 pounds, but I have
seen them tip the scales at 200. The best
catch my father ever made was nine in
one night. When he goes fishing he
takes a small boat and lots of strong
line. The tarpon is like the trout, a
very gamy fish, and when hooked soon
wears himself out in darting around fur-
iously in the water. The best time to
fish for them is at night,
“In still water they bite easy and a
good fisherman can land two out of ev-
ery five hooked. In tide water they
rush at the bait. and then are off as fast
a3 they can swim. It is very exciting
sport to see these big fish when caught
jump six feet out of the water in their
struggles to get away. They will turn
over on their sides on the surface of the
water, but they soon exhaust themselves.
“The best fishing ground is in the still
water on the west coast of Florida. It
is hard to pull them out on the eastern
side, as the tides are very swift.’
The worst “bad company’ a boy or
girl can be in is the company of a bad
book. Evil associates are harmful
enough, but they do not injure a young
person as evil books do. There isa sub-
tle and at the same time imperative qual-
ity in the influence of a printed page,
which everybody feels. "You read a
statement, and unconsciously you be-
lieve it, und yield up your mind to it,
simply because it confronts you in the
dignity of type. But let a person whom
you know make the same statement, or-
ally, and you will think twice before
you accept it. This is where the dan-
gerof a bad book comes in. It gets a
special hearing, and exercises a peculiar
influence which a bad person cannot.
Besides it can say the same evil thing
over and over again, in the same facin-
ating words, as often as your curiosity
prompts you to seek it. Therefore, if
any boy or girl wishes to keep pure, and
manly, and honest—and we trust that
all girls and boys do—the wise thing for
them to do is to shun books that have a
bad name. And if you donot know
whether a book is good or bad, ask the
advice of your parents and teachers
what you should read. Do not be en-
ticed by a low curiosity to see what a
bad book is like. Shun it as you would
pitch, or poison, or quicksand, or any
other vile or dangerous thing. The
world is full of good and charming
books. Keep company with them,
They will make you beter and nobler
all your life.
Very Unpleasant.
As a fat, good natured looking man
was crossing the City Hall park last
evening he was accosted by a man who
began :
“Sir, you don’t know how it grinds
me to be compelled to ask for charity
from a perfect stranger, but under the
circumstances I am obliged’’——
“This is very unpleasant, sir, very un-
pleasant,” interrupted the other. “You
are the same man who told me the same
story two weeks ago.”
‘Are you sure ?”
“Certainly. You told it to me two
weeks ago and I gave you a dime. You
told it to me again about a week ago
and I gave you a nickel. It is very ua-
pleasant to discover that I have been
victimized.”
“Oh, but you haven’t, sir.”
“But you are asking me for more
money.” *
“Yes, but I simply made a mistake.
You ure the fat man with the bald head.
I was looking for the man with a cane.
It’s a case of mistaken identity. If I’d
known it was you I should have had a
different story.”
“Ah—yes—I see. Well, here's a dime,
buat don’t attempt to deceive the public.
It’s very unpleasant to be decerved—
very unpleasunt.”— Vi. Quad in New
York World.

“HUNGER Is THE BEST SAUCE.”—As
a rule, a person who has a good appetite
has good health. But how many there
are who enjoy nothing they eat, and sit
down to meals only as an unpleasant
duty. Nature's antidotes for this condi-
tion are so happily combined in Hood’s
Sarsaparilla that it soon restores good
digestion, creates an appetite, and re-
novates and vitalizes the blood so that
the beneficial effect of good food is im-
parted to the whole body. Truly hun-
ger is the best sauce, and Hood's Sarsa-
parilla induces hunger.

BUTTERMILK FoR FRECKLES.—There
is nothing that equals fresh buttermilk
for removing tan, freckles, sunburn or
moth spots,says the Ladies’ Home Jour-
nal. 1t has the great advantage that it
does not injure the skin, but renders it
soft like a child’s, Take a soft cloth or
sponge and bathe the face, neck and
arms thoroughly before retiring at night;
then wipe off the drops lightly. In the
morning wash thoroughly and wipe dry
with a crash towel. Two or three such
baths will take of all the tan and freck-
les. It will keep the hands soft and
smooth.
