Farm Notes.
Whale-oil soap and carbolic acid
make an excellent wash for the trunks
of apple trees to prevent borers.
Bees should be kept on every farm,
as they are beneficial in many ways to
crops and fruit bearing trees and
plants.
If any farmer is contemplating
steam heating apparatus for his home,
he can very cheaply add a green-
house.
Where a great many make a mis-
take is, in not being particular enough
in the breeding. Trace the pedigree
well back.
More gold and silver is dug out of
the first six inches of the soil in the
shape of crops grown than is taken
from the earth lower down in the shape
of metals,
The asparagus beetle must be watch.
ed closely, as it works on the growing
plants. Rub the eggs off with the
hand or apply a solution of Paris green
to the plants.
A cheap and easy way to getrid of
ants is to keep a good supply of slack-
ed lime around the hive stands. As it
becomes crusty and dry a fresh supply
should be put on.
When you have picked off your old
bed of strawberries, plow the plot and
grow upon it acrop of potatoes or cab-
bages; By so doing the ground will
be cultivated and the weeds destroyed,
A farm now worth $1000, which
pays in taxes $2.20 a year tribute to
our barbarous system of road making,
by he addition of $4.50 would be able
to add at least another $1000 to its
value,
Tt is a great saving of labor to have
the farm clear of grass and weeds, for
when that is accomplished the matter
of preventing weeds from appearing be-
comes an easy task compared with
the work of eradication.
Nothing 1s more disagreeable on a
farm than to have the hog pens near
the house. The odor is disagreeable.
A pen sty out in the field is better,
even if the location renders the man-
agement a little more laborious.
A great amount of harm is now be-
ing done by a loose kind of teaching
at institutes where many matters are
discussed and settled forever on the
word of some person who may know
nothing at all of what he is so positive
about.
Keep an eye on the manure pile or
it will become overheated. If you are
too busy to turn the heap over make
holes in it with a pole or crowbar and
deluge it with water. Do not fail to
work the heap over as soon as it can
be done, and when so doing add more
absorbing material.
There are too many poor black-
smiths in most country places, and
these are mainly responsible for the
unsound and defective feet of horses.
If a young horse is never shod his feet
may get tender from rough usage, but
he is not so likely to have his hoofs de-
stroyed as from poor shoeing.
The value of any kind of food de-
pends largely upon its digestibility. It
is not the bulk of the food upon which
the farmer must rely, nor is the quality
always indicative of value. Stock
may consume large quantities of food
only to avoid the greater portion,
which is freturned to the soil from
whiclrit was derived. The milk, beef,
growth of the body, ete., is promoted
only by that portion of the food which
is digested and assimilated. The
Maine Experiment Station has con-
ducted a series of digestion experiments,
which included quite a variety of foods,
the trials being made by feeding sheep.
HUNGARIAN GRASS AND ROOT=.
Hungarian grass, which is overlook-
ed by many farmers, proved to be one
of the best foods used, and when fed
both green and dry was more digesti-
ble than the average of grasses, even
exceeding timothy. This is important
to farmers at the present time, as this
is about the proper period of the year
for growing this crop, which rot only
grows quickly and yields largely, but
is one of the most destructive agents
for eradicating weeds from the soil
that can be grown. Roots were the
most digestible of any of
the foods tested, the amount of
waste material being not over 8 per
cent. of the whole, sugar beets ranking
very high. Flat turnips were more
digestible than rutabagas, while man-
golds fell away behind sugar beets.
There was but a small difference be-
tween Hungarian hay and Hungarian
grass, the former being fully equal to
the latter, as its digestibility was not
diminished by drying.
CORN FODDERS AND BRAN.
It was demonstrated that the corn
plant, after being cut for the silo, is one
of the most digestible of fodder plants,
rating 20 per cent. higher than timothy
Sixty per cent. of the dry organic mat-
matter of timothy was digested, while
with the various corn fodders the aver-
age was 72 per cent. There was no
difference in the digestibility of the
Southern field and sweet corn fodder.
Experiments with wheat bran show
that this food is but slightly, it any,
more digestible than good hay, and it
ismuch inferior to oats, corn, barley
and other graine. Gluten meal, which
is a waste product in the manufacture
of glucose from corn, was digested to
the extent of 89 per cent. of its dry or-
ganic matter. The treatment which
the grain receives when the starch is
converted into glucose does not seem to
affect the digestibility of the refuse.
The experiments are of great value, as
they will in future be of assistance to
those who feed judiciously,
The Average Woman.
How many who use the term ‘“‘aver-
age woman’ know what it implies?
Physically it means that she weighs
about 117 pounds, and that, if an
American, she is somewhat taller than
5 feet 1 inch. Observations taken by
the French academy relative to the
average height of 1,197 Frenchwomen,
without shoes, show it to be that much.
Dr. Sargeant, from 1,835 observations,
concludes that the American woman
is nearly two inches taller than the
average daughter of France; and Dr.
Galton, an Englishman, in 770 meas-
urements, found that the women of
Great Britain are the tallest of the three
they exceeding Miss Columbia by ful-
ly half an inch. In the matter of
weight, though, American femininity
is elightly akiead, though the figures
are not given.
ProNOUNCED HOPELESS, YET SAVED,
—From a letter written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hurd, of Groton, S. D., we quote:
«Was taken with a bad cold, which set-
tled on my Lungs, cough setin and
finally terminated in Consumption. I
gave myself up, saying I could live but
ashort time. I gave myself up to my
Saviour, determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth, I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr, King’s New Dis-
covery for Consumption Coughs and
Colds. I gave ita trial, took in'all,
eight bottles ; it has cured me, and
thank God I am now a well and hearty
woman.” Trial bottles free at Parrish’s

The best of all ways
To lengthen our days
Is to use Pierce’s Purgative Pellets, sir!
For nine-tenths of the diseases of the
body begin with constipation or the
clogging up of the sluice-ways, through
which the impurities of the blood es-
cape, so that they are reabsorbed into
the system. The Purgative Pellets act
gently but thoroughly upon the stomach
and liver, and are the best laxative
known, Without racking and strain-
ing the organs, they open the bowels and
restore a natural, healthy digestion,
Unequaled in dyspepsia, constipation,
billiousness, piles, or any of the result-
ing diseases.
The Boston Globe tells a new
street car story in which the principal
characters were a big fat woman and a
small boy. The car was full when the
fat woman entered. Nobody offered
her a seat at first ; and she was bump-
ed and twisted and rolled about as the
car went on its winding and jerking
way, until the small boy rose up and
said : “I'll be one of the three men to
ave the lady a seat.”

spreading into sores covered with scabs, ex-

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 farnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely displayed and still kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
leather. Our factory now occupies & room
16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.

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

philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
