Farm Notes.
Raspberries often continue to bear un-
til late in the season, especially if the
canes have been well manured.
The German farmers of Penunsylva-
nia have extremely healthy appie trees
by washing the bark with lime.
According to a current paragraph,
“we burn too much carbon in the sys-
tem and consume too little building
material.”
About every farmhouse there should
be a nice lawn. The farmer has the
opportunity to excel in this sort of or-
namentation.
Egg plants require careful watching
in order to protect them against the po-
tato beetles. Give them a dusting with
Paris green occasionally.
I find that berries picked in the
morning after the dew is off and after 4
p. m. keep and ship better than those
picked in the heat of the day.
One of the greatest troubles of the
ordinary farmer is that he depends too
largely on the memory alone for all the
information he needs in his business.
To kill the squash vine borer, make
a strong tea of tobacco and to four
quarts of it add an ounce of dissolved
camphor: Apply a small amount to
the roots when the vines begin to run.
Gardeners around New York apply
70 or 80 tons ot fresh manure per acre,
and three quarters to one ton of mixed
commercial fertillizer in addition, and
expect about fifty tons of early cab.
bage.
All along in the journey of butter
from the milk pail to the butter tub
there ia a chance for it to pick up fla-
vors foreign to its own. Ragweed and
others that are noxious impart these
flavors, while others come from the
stables.
A heap of stones after lying two or
three years will often leave the soil be-
neath richer than before. But the
greater part of the effect is said to be
due to the action of the stones as a
mulch allowing the soil beneath to dis-
integrate.
The “sheepy taste’ of mutton does
not come from contact with the wool
in skinning or from tardiness in disem-
boweling the animal ; it is of far deep-
er origin. It comes from. poverty, un-
healthy condition, of old age and simi-
lar causes.
A Connecticut farmer kept an ae-
count of the small fruit grown on half
an acre of ground and used by his
family last year. He figured on the
fruit at market rates and found it
amounted to $365, or more than
$700 per acre.
Phylloxera, which has been the pest
of French vineyards for many years, is
about to be exterminated by the efforts
of the Government. That country is
striving hard to regain her place as the
first vine growing country of the world.
Her Commissioners report that over
5,000,000 acres are now in vineyard, a
greater number than ever before.
Late in the summer, about August
or September, lawn grass may be sown
in order to secure a thick sward next
spring. The seed should consist of
several varieties cf grasses, as some
kinds may not be adopted to the loca-
tion, while others may take full poss
esgion, Manure the land well, and ap-
ply in the spring an application of wood
ashes.
Ia consequence of the destruction of
canes by the borer, in the Early Wilson
blackberry, hundreds of fruit growers
were compelled to cut away and burna
large portion of their canes this season,
which has resulted in the crop being
smaller, which is compensated for by
the higher prices for blackberries com-
pared with former years, the profits be-
Ing as large as during previous seasons.
Early varieties of apples find quick
and ready sale in all the markets. The
supply of winter apples being gone, the
early supply is looked for by buvers
every season. Instead of large orchards
of late apples for winler, it is probable
that an orchard of early apples would
be more profitable. The keeping qual-
ities of apples place them far ahead of
all other kinds of fruit, as they can be
shipped any distance.
A practical dairyman gives the fol-
lowing ss his method of soiling: At
the last cultivation of corn (July) he
sows clover and timothy seed in the
corn field, which comes up well. About
September 20 the corn is off the ground
and the clover allowed to grow a month,
when the cows are turned in for a few
hours in the morning. In the spring
there is more early feed before the land
is plowed for another crop.
Atier the corn is ripe it should be
cut without delay. There isa time
when corn is in juet the proper condi.
tion to cut, in order to secure a good
fodder. Leaving it in the field is one
method of economizing room in the
barn, but the corn fodder is damaged
to a certain extent every day that it is
exposed to the weather. When the
leaves become very dry there is even a
loss from the winds blowing portions
away.
As to whether there isa curcalio-
roof plum there is a difference at opin-
1on. Samples of the *Abundance” va.
riety this season show the branches
well filled with sound plums. They
were attacked by the curculio, but it
was claimed that the rapid growth
made by the fruit, and the hardening
of the stones, 86 that the worms could
not enter, saved the fruit. The sam-
ples showed that while the curculio bad
stung the fruit, yet the fruit was sound
and free from all blemish except a
small scar on the ekin which had healed
over.
Wage Earning Power.
The tariff gives the protected manu-
facturers, as at Homestead, a monopoly
by excluding competition. Hence the
money they make is only limited by
their greed and the efficacy of their
trade organizations or trusts in regula-
ting productions and prices. We heard
no newspaper protests trom the Repub-
lican side against Mr. Carnegie’s $5,000
a day. That was all right. But a
“smart Isaac” on the Pittsburg Gazette
complains that “of the 600 members of
the Pittsburg bar fully 500 make much
less than the O’Donnells at Home-
stead.” The reasons probably lie in the
fact that the 500 legal limbs, individual-
ly or collectively, could not do the
work, not having the skill or endurance
for exhausting toil of “the O’Donnells
at Homestead.” And so of the other
classes of employees designated in the
Gazetle as receiving less wages than a
few picked men at the Carnegie mills.
The quick eye; the ready hand, the
corded muscle, the experience and the
coolness of judgement requisite in facing
furnace fires and handling great masses
of molten metal, where a single error
would involve great loss or destruction
of property and possibly of life are the
possession of everyone. Such gifts may
be compared with those of the leaders of
the bar who ask $500 for making a po-
lite bow to the judges and saying a few
words, and sometimes, when silence ‘is
golden, nothing. In the march to in-
dustrial victory rare qualities are devel-
oped very often in illiterate or uncul-
tured men, and they have a big money
value in the rivalry of Ey
But take the average yearly wages of
all the iron and steel workers at Home-
stead, including the high priced experts,
and the figures will not provoke the
envy of the 500 lawyers who make
less than “the O’Donnells of Home-
stead.’’— Pittsburg Post.

Sherbets and Water-Ices.
Sherbet in its literal sense means a
cool drink. It is of Oriental origin, but
in this country it has come to mean a
frozen mixture of fruit, or fruit juice, wa-
ter and sugar.
There is a distinction, however, made
between water-ices and sherbet.
Sherbet has, in addition to the fruit
juice and water, either sugar syrup,
white of egg, or gelatine, to give it suf-
ficient viscousness to entangle and hold
air when beaten in a treezer; so that
sherbets, unless colored by the fruit used,
will be white and opaque like snow.
Water-ices, on the contrary, are made
without the white of egg, syrup or
gelatine, do not entangle air and are
translucent-and what might be called
‘‘watery’’ in appearance.
Both sherbets and water-ices are deli-
cious when made with fresh, ripe fruits,
and both may be enriched by the addi-
tion of sweet cream, if desired.

Eminent Facts.
The questlon is often asked and scarcely
ever answered, why whiskey made now is not
as pure and reliable as it was forty years ago.
It is nevertheless a fact that it is made purer
and better to-day than 'at time. With the im-
proved methods fusil oil and other impurities
are entirely eliminated. A sworn statement
as to the purity age and quality of the whisky
sold is furnished by one dealer who advertises

HOW THESE LITTLE ONES HAD TO
SUFFER.
CUTICURA TOOK ALL OF THIS ITCH
OUT OF THEIR SKINS IN SIX WEEKS.
LEFT NOT A BLEMISH.
My children, nine in number, were all troub-
led with an itching of the skin. They could
not sleep at night,” and through the day my
wife felt ashamed to see the way those’ little
ones had to suffer. So we concluded to try
Cuticura Remedies, and believe if we had not
used your valuable remedies our little family
would not have been cured yet. Cuticura
Remedies took all of this itch out of their skins
inside of six weeks. My wife then bought
more, and kept on giving it to the children,
and thank God and your valuable Cuticura
Remedies, my children have not got a blemish

CZEMA 10 YEARS CURED
I purchased and used Cuficura with the most
gratifying results. I was troubled with ecze-
ma in the form of salt rheum for ten years,and
had quite despaired of being cured. Cuticura
with the help of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticu-
ra Resolvent, has permanently removed my
complaint, and left my flesh sound and
healthy.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
If the thousands of little babies who have
been cured of agonizing, itching, burning
bleeping, a and blotchy skin and scalp
diseases could write, what a host of letters
would be received by the proprietors of the
Cuticura Remedies. Few can appreciate the
agony these little ones suffer, and when these
great remedies relieve in a single application
the most distressing eczemae and ite ing and
burning skin disease, and point to a speedy
and permanent cure, it is positively ginhuman
not to use them without & moment's delay.

pert tea men that the highest perfection in tea can-
not be attained from any one kind or variety of tea
+ plant. But that the best value and choicest Savor
can be obtained only by a skillful blending of care-
Jully selected high grade goods of different varieties.
When teas are perfectly blended the original flav-
or of each variety disappears in the blend, and from
the combination we get something entirely new and
much finer than any of the original flavors.
We have a new blend of our own. In the prepa-
ration of which we have spent considerable timeand
labor and have also had the aid and counsel of sev-
eral as good tea men as are to be found in the Unit-
ed States. It 1s with entire confidence that we of-

value and flavor.
