Farm Notes.
The Emeral Gem cantaloupe is one
of the most delicious, and should be in
market now. When ripe it always de-
taches itself from the vines.
The value of registry is that the ped-
igree and identity of superior animals
can be established. Registry is a pro-
tection to both the breeder and the pur-
chaser.
Too often the country folks have
themselves to blame for being looked
down upon. They are careless about
their clothing, about their manners and |
their way of talking.
Egg plants are attacked by the pota-
to beetle as long as they are growing,
and the beetles prefer them to the po-
tato vines. Use paris green freely on
egg plants as well as on potatoes.

The Columbia Launched.
Cruiser No. 2 Christened by Miss Edith Morton.
PuinaperpHia, July 26.— Under a
sun, the intensity of whose rays seem-
ed to make her metal sides aimost
vibrate, Cruiser No. 2, or as the vessel
hac been popularly known, “The
Pirate,” was launched here this after-
noon from Cramps’ ship yard and
| christened the Columbia by Miss Edith
Morton, daughter of Vice President
Morton. In consideration of time of
the year and with a view to just such
weather as the country is suffering un-
der now, the Messrs. Cramps decided
some time ago not to issue any invita-
tions to the launch to-day, and in con-
sequence there was a marked difference
is the size of the crowd in comparison
with that of previous launchings at
Cramps’ yards. “Launching Day’ at
Cramps’ is always observed with a
holiday, and with the exception of the
gang of menat work preparing the
cruiser for her passage down the ways
the army of laborers that yearly throng
the yard were absent this morning.
A hog with a dish face is said to
possess all other requirements. It
may be added, also, that the best hogs |
should have no bristle, but only the
best specimens are entirely free in that
respect.
Only a few hills of late cucumbers
are necessary to supply quite a large
number of pickles. Late wax string
beans are also excellent for pickling,
and a few hills of gherkins should not
be omitted.
In case of the yellow rust of the
blackberry, the diseased plants should
be cut out and burned and the healthy
plants sprayed with some fungicide to
destroy any spores that may have
reached them.
One of the best things to do in the
time of drought is to clean the well, as
the water will then be low, and the
work can be done more thor:
oughly. Every well should be cleaned
at least once a year.
What the dairy farmer wants is a
cow that will take enough of that food
supply to maintain herself in health
and vtgor, at the same time producing
the greatest possible quantity of milk,
of the best possible cost.
My experience has forced me to the
belief that the average tarmer who de-
pends on stacks for good stock hay los-
es enough in 10 years to erect and
maintain substantial barns for its pro-
tection from the weather,
Cultivate shallow at all times—in
dry weather, when the roots grow deep,
to make a surface mulch; in wet
weather, when the roots are nearer to
the surface, to keep down the weeds
and keep the soil from baking.
A Connecticut farmer kept an account
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.
When spring wheat is sown early
enough to ripen in July it generally es-
capes the dangers of climate and soil
influences that so often dry up the jui
ces of the plant at the very time the
grain is in the milk and dough state.
The difference between an orchard
that has been cultivated, kept clean
and fertilized, compared with one
seeded to grass will be easily noticea-
ble, and the yields will vary in propor-
tion to the neglect or attention given.
Here's a hint for makers of prime
butter. Why not keep it packed with
roses and violets till ready for sale?
Remember too, that butter can hold
and retain foul odors as well as sweet
‘ones. Pack an onion with it and see.
Raise fruit that readily catches the
eye. [Exercise care in picking, packing
and marketing. Throw out every infe-
rior specimen—especially when this
poor stuff, that destroys the sale of the
other, can be utilized by
drying, evaporating or canning. Use
the neatest and most presentable pack-
ages.
There is but slight difference in the
cost of a shed built to be comfortable,
such as will exclude gales of wind, rain
and snow, and ore through which the
finger can be thrust between the weath-
er boarding. The advantage gained
by building the best will justify the dif-
ference in outlay every time.
It late cabbages are planted too soon
and the ground is rich, they are liable
to mature before frost and the head
crack. To avoid this do not set out
the plants before August, but it is not
safe to defer the work later than about
the 10th of August. One must, how-
ever, use judgement, as the size of the
plants, the manure used, the quality of
the soil, all have some effect on the
growth,
Sheep graze very close and leave but
little grass above the roots when they
have passed over a plot, but this pecu-
larity of sheep is an advantage, as
they also eat the weeds as close to the
ground as possible. If there is a piece
of ground covered with young weeds.
turn the sheep on, thus utilizing the
weed as food.
It is almost ruinous to the pasture
to allow the stock on it during a per-
iod of great drouth. Not ouly does the
grazing injure the grass, but the con-
stant tramping of the cattle also does
injury. Grasssoon dies out it very
closely grazed, and when the season is
very dry. Should this happen there
will be but little grass for stock before
spring.
| The Pe-ru-na Drug
The business of getting the cruiser
ready for her dip into the river was
not an enviable one.
The cruiser launched to-day is es-
sentially a commerce destroyer and not
a fightiag vessel, within the accepted
meaning of the term, Her designers
drew their plans with two main objects
in view, speed and coal-carrying ca-
pacity. To obtain these the cruiser
was given a tonnage of 7,500 tons, far
greater than would be necessary in a
fighting vessel of the same dimensions.
Her lines are finer than the great trans-
atlantic passenger greyhounds, which
for stability are required to have much
greater beams.
The dimensions of the cruiser are
400 feet in length on the load water
line, 58 feet beam 24 feet draught.
The contract calls for a speed of twenty-
two knots an hour on the trial trip,
failing which the builders are liable to
a money penalty or the abolute re-
jection of the vessel by the govern-
ment. Some idea of the speed that
will be required of the cruiser may be
obtained by comparing it with the
championship record of 21,06 knots
for an hour, held by the steamship
Teutonic.
Creeping Malaria.
Insidious and Stealthy in Its Approach.—Dead-
ly and Unyielding in Its Grasp.—Exctracts
from a Lecture at the Surgical Hotel, Columbus,
Ohio, by Dr. S. B. Hartman.
The orset of malaria is often so very
insidious that it is quite difficult to de-
tect the nature of it until it has fastened
itself thoroughly in the system. Mala-
ria often will pester a person for months
without making bim sick abed, but
making him genuinely miserable—
creeping rigors, coated tongue, appetite
changeable, and many indescribable
sensation of genuinely disagreeable
kinds. Chills and hot flashes of very
irregular duration and recurrence coms
and go without seeming cause. The
hands and feet are usually cold and
clammy, and the general tendency is to
dryness and coldness of the skin of the
whole body.
Among the symptoms to which this
class of patients are liable, but not al-
ways present, may be mentioned neu-
ralgic headache, nervous chills, hys-
teria, sinking or faint spells, distressing
palpitation of the heart, defective eye-
sight, total inability to read, write, or do
any business; urine abundant, without
color, and loss of flesh. Melancholy
feelings, a discouraged listless state of
mind, mental depression and confusion
of the mind, surely indicates the pres-
ence of malaria. This form is called
malarial biliousnes. « For this “walking
malaria,’ which neither puts one to
bed nor allow him to work or study,
Peruna should be taken as directed on
the bottle. “A course of Peruna will
entirely cleanse the system of every par-
ticle of the malarial poison. Therefore,
if you have any kind of a bad feeling
which you attribute to malaria, by all
means follow this treatment. It at
once restores the appetite, clears the be-
fogged senses, and brings back the hope-
ful state of mind which malaria is sure
to destroy. A thorough use of it will
convince you of its wonderful power in
all such cases. Peruna can be relied
on to cure these cases and restore to per-
fect health as specdily as the chronic
vature of the difficulty will allow.
Should constipation exist at the same
time Manalin should be added. The
Peruna tones up the pervous system
and enriches the blood, giving strength
and vitality, while Manalin restores the
activity of the excretory glands, enabl-
ing the system to rid itself of accumu-
lated poison, bringing back to this most
unfortunate class of invalids the flush
and good feeling of perfect health. Di-
rections for use accompany each bottle.

Li ON A LADY
STUBBORN CASE OF SKIN DISEASE COV-
ERED HER FACE AND BODY. MANY
DOCTORS BAFFLED.
MARVELLOUS AND COMPLETE CURE BY
CUTICURA SIX YEARS HAVE EL-
APSED AND NO RETURN.
A lady customer of ours (Miss Fannie At-
wood of Caroline Depot, N. Y.) has been cured
of a stubborn case of skin disease by the use
of Cuticura Remedies. She remarked that her
case had baffled the skill of many well-known
physicians. They unanimously pronounced
it Eczema, with Rheumatism lurking in the
blood. Some predicted that any treatment
and strong enough to cure the Etzema would
surely increase the Rheumatism. She used
two sets of the Cuticura Remedies. The effect
was marvellous. Her case of Eczema was not
only completely cured, but her Rheumatism
was greatly relieved during the treatment.
Six years have elapsed since the cure was per-
formed, her Rheumatism has since never in-
creased by the treatment, but rather diminish-
ed, and she sees no symptoms of the return of
the Eczema which once so completely took
possession of her face and body. Miss Atwood
delights in telling of the good effects that the
Cuticura treatment had upon her, and recom-
mends unsolicired the Cuticura Remedies, for
Eczema and all kindred ailments. Your pre-
parations find Jeady sale ; indeed Cuticura
Soap is on the list to buy almost continuously.
