Farm Notes.
Fertilizers may contain a greater
portion of plant food than is equivalent
to their cost, and yet the plant food
may be in such shape and condition as
to be useless to the farmer for immedi-
ate effect on his crops. It is true that
the insoluble materials of the fertilizer
may prove beneficial to him in the fu-
ture, alter chemical action in the soil
has reduced the substances to a state
‘of solubility, but farmers who procure
fertilizers do so with the view of secur-
ing available plant food for the crops
which are to be grown immediately.
It is when the fertilizers contain their
nitrogen in the shape of bitrates and
sulphates, or their phosphates as acid-
ulated bone, that the best results are
obtained. Peruvian guano and the
several salts of potash are always in
excellent form for plant food. Refuse
materials from manufactories, however,
though often rich in the required ele-
ments, are not always in an available
form,
Soil varies in plant food so greatly
that it is not unusual to find two ad-
joining fields entirely unlike. One
field may be light and sandy and the
other of a clay texture and heavy. The
frequency of the application otf man-
ures or fertilizers, their quality and the
character of the crops grown on the
soil make it almost impossible to deter-
mine the relative proportions of plant
food contained in any plot by analysis,
as an analysis of a selected portion of
the soil only gives knowledge of the
kind of soil used, that adjoining, per:
haps, being entirely different. To add
to the difficulty, the plant foods may
be in a soluble condition on one plot,
while on other plots plant foods may
be abundant but not available. It is
an imperative necessity, therefore, for
the farmer to determine for himself by
observation and experiment what his
soil requires in the shape of plant food.
At the stations where experiments
were made, six pounds of cornmeal
and two pounds of bran are considered
a standard winter ration for a cow.
When gluten meal was substituted for
cornmeal the result was increased flow
of milk, but less butter. When lin-
geed meal was used in place of corn-
meal more butter was obtained but less
milk. Cottonseed meal equaled lin-
geed meal, but was not so wholesome.
Gluten meal made poor butter, linseed
meal soft butter, and cornmeal, hard
butter. Oats made dry, yellow butter.
It has been suggested that an excellent
combination would be four pounds
cornmeal, two pounds ground oats, two
pounds cottonseed meal and one pound
linseed meal, and plenty of clover hay.
There are legions of farmers who do
not realize the fact that they use tons
of manure which is useless to plants
until late in the season, for no manure
can be appropriated by plants until it
is decomposed in the manure heap or
after it has been applied on the field.
There may be portions of the manure
soluble, especially if the urine has been
saved and absorbed, but it may require
two or three years for the whole ot the
manure to change its form, and as
mnch depends also on the composition
of the marure as on the fertilizers, for
the manure heap is composed only of
what the farmer has made it, the kind
of food used and the ages of his stock,
while the manner in which the man-
ure is kept largely affects its value.
It is important, when planting the
seeds of vegetables, to use a reel and
line, in order that the rows may be
perfectly straight, Do not attempt to
make the rows by the eye alone. If
the rows are straight the work with =
wheel hoe will be much easier. Crook-
ed row are favorable to weed and grass
for the reason that the cultivation giv-
en is not as thorough as with straight
rows,
To much hilling up around the
plants is not an advantage. Nearly
all experiments made to determine the
effects of hilling and level culture are
favorable to ievel cultivation of nearly
all kinds of plants, not even excepting
squashes, cucumbers and melons, es-
pecially on sandy soils. :

Two crops may be grown on the
same land, but no tarmer should at-

Thrashed a Man Twice His Size."
The other day a small harmless look-
ing man entered a New York street car,
and accidently trod on the toes of a big
six footer. He apologized, but the six-
footer wasn’t satisfied. He talked for
some time, and finally invited the little
man to leave the car and settle the inat-
ter on the sidewa'k. Greatly to his as-
tonishment, the latter accepted: Those
who witnessed the contest say that it
didn’t last long, bat that the big fellow
had to be carried home in an ambulance,
while his diminutive antagonist walked
away with a cheerful smile.

A Luminous Tree.
Some twelve miles north of Tuscaro-
ra, N. M., there grows—or at least, re-
cently grew—a tree or shrub about sev-
en feet in height, the leaves of which
were luminious, in general appearanee
it resembled the barberry, the leaves
favoring somewhat the aromatic bay
tree of California. At certain seasons
of the year the foliage is so bright that
on the darkest night it can be plainly
seen at a distance of one mile while the
light at the tree is sufficient to admit
the reading of the finest print. The
luminous substance is a guinmy matter
on the outside of the leaves, which.im
parts the same property to whatever it
is rubbed on.
A Good Reason for Living.
“She lives {0 love and loves to live,
She loves to live because she lives to love.”
Many think it is a sin to be sick; be-
ing so, one cannot bestow their affactions
on others as the Creator intended; being
80, it certainly is a duty to cure yourself.
Most women, these days, need an invig-
orating tonic. ~~ Worn-out teachers,
“shop-girls,”’ dressmakers, milliners, and
those subject to tiresome labor, have
found a boon in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. It is a soothing and
strengthening nervine, inducing refresh-
ing sleep relieves despondency and re-
stores to full use all the appetites and
affections of one’s nature. It is sold, by
all druggists, under a guarantee from its
makers that it wiil, in every case, give
satisfaction, or price ($1.00) will be
promptly refunded.

sides the audience-tom. In Spital-
fields and White-chapel, where the
most desperate classes exist, magic lan-
tern entertainments on scriptural sub-
i jects 1llustrating various Bible scenes
are given in order to attract the people.
Working people’s conferences are held
regularly in every district, at which
subjects are discussed pertaining to the
weltare of the masses. On Sunday af-
ternoons lectures are given by able men.
Special boys’ clubs are formed and
much attention given to athletics, a3

The aim of the whole work is to blend
the secular with the religious instrac-

vide food for the sick and attend to
their wants. The uplifting influence
of the personal association with these
people is a powerful factor in the am-
elioration of their wretched condition.”

FEARFUL ALL THOUGHT HE MUST
DIE CURED IN SIX WEEKS BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
I have been afllicted for twenty years with
an obstinate skin dicease, ca'led by some M.
D.s Psoriasis. and others Leprosy, rommenc-
ing on my scalp; and, in spite of all I could
do, with the help of the most skilful doctors, it
slowly but surely extended, until a year ago
this winter it covered my entire person in the
form of dry scales. For the last three years I
have been unable to do any labor, and suffer:
ing intensely all the time. Every morning
there could be nearly a dustpanful of
cecal >s taken from the sheet on my bed, some
«f them half as large as the envelope contain-
ing this letter. In the latter part of the winter
my skin commenced cracking open. I tried
everything, almost, tha: eonld be thought of,
without any relief. ‘The 12th of June I started
West, in hopes [ conld reach the Hot Springs.
I reached Detroit, and was so low I thouuht I
should have to go to the hospital, but finally
got as far as Lansing, (Mich.,, where I had a
sister living. One Dr.—— treated me about
two weeks, but did me no good. All thought
I hed but a short time to live. I earnestlv
praycd todie. Cracked through the skin all
over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands,
limbs; feet badly swolled ; toe-nails came off ;
inger-nails dead, and hard as a bone; hair
dead, dry and lifeless as old straw. O my God !
how I did suffer. My sister, Mrs. E. H.
Davis, had a small part of a box cf Cuticura in
the house. ~he wouldn’tgive ap; said, “We
will try Cuticura.” S>me was applied on one
hand and arm. Eureka! there was relief;
stopped the terrible burning sensation from
the word go. They immedia‘ely got the Outi-
cura, Cuticura Resolvent and Soap. I com-
menced by taking one tablespoonful of Resol-
vent three times a day, after meals; had a bath
once a day, water about blood heat ; used Cuti-
cura Soap freely ; applied Cuticura morning
and evening. Result; returned to my home
in just six weeks from the time I left, and my
skin as smooth as this sheet of paper.

We extend a most cordial invitation to our
patrons and the public, in general, to witness
one of the
GRANDEST DISPLAYS OF

be made in the large room, formerly occupied
by Harper Bros., on Spring street. It has been
added to my factory and will be used exclu-
sively for the sale of harness, being the first
exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom has been to sell goods
in the room in which they were made. This
elegant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely displayed and still kept away ftom
heat and dust, the enemies ot long wear in
leather. Our factory. now occupies a.room
16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
Weare prepared to offer better bargains in
the future than we have done in the past and
we want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
i will buy. Our profits are not large, but
