Farm Notes.
If a farmer will goin debt the best
things that he should become in debt
for are manure and fertilizers.
The idea that all the light that a
stable needs is the trap-door manure
holes along the walls should be aban-
doned.
That cooking the food renders it
more easily digestible is {admitted, but
-the labor and cost of fuel are the ob-
stacles to overcome,
It is possible for a farmer to have no
weeds to kill, but it will require con-
stant cultivation and the destruction of
all weeds as fast as they appear.
A small evaporator, holding from
one-half to one bushel of fruit, may be
set upon the kitchen stove and run with
very little additional expense for fuel.
Tt the farmer would study the con-
struction of the feet of his horses, he
will be able to protected them against
the work of many inexperienced black-
smiths.
Vinegar will pay this year. Those
who are to far from market to ship
their apples at a proflt should convert
them into vinegar, as vinegar is salea-
ble at all seasons,
iC al al
Keeping an animal until age may
result in'a loss. The greatest gain 18
when an animal is young. After it
reaches maturity it may lose in weight
or gain but very little.
It requires the very best of manage-
ment to make the farm carry sufficient
manure to keep up the fertility of the
soil without using green manures or
commercial fertilizers.
If you have several kinds of melons
growing near each other do not save
any of the seed, or the next year’s crop
may prove unsatisfactory, owing to the
mixture of the varieties.
I know of no better trade mark than
the grower’s name, with well grown,
carefully assorted fruit, honestly put
in neat,clean packages of full capacity,
to back it up.—E. Williams.
An English gardener who has had
great success in raising radishes makes
his radish beds with nearly or quite
one-half soft coal ashes and soot. Un-
der this plan his beds are not infected
with worms.
The fence corner is the hotbed in
which the weeds are protected. When
a few weeds spring up in some protect-
ed place and produce seeds, the farmer
will have to begin all of the work of
weed killing over again.
The points of the compass can be
told from trees by very simple observa-
tions. The side of the tree upon which
moss is fcund is the north. If the trees
be exposed to the sun its heaviest and
longest limbs will be on the south side.
The corn crop is almost always a
paying one when its simplest demands
in the way of cultivation and fertiliza-
tion are complied with. On poor ground
without manure and not well worked,
it cannot be expected to give a gener-
ous return.—Farmers' Home Jourzal.
Pneumatic tires to wheels may ai
some day be used on farm wagons.
If so they will necessitate better roads.
Improved roads are now receiving
more attention than any other subject
that affects farming, and a great change
will take place before another decade.
Those who desire to produce a few
very choice fowls for their own tables
will secure something extra by crossing
the pit game male with Dorking hens.
The cross produces the best chicks and
fowls for the table, but the hens from
the cross are not the equal of some as
layers. 3
The individuality of each animal in
the herd must be always considered.
Each has its preferences and dislikes
and to secure the best results the wants
of each animal must be supplied. To
feed a herd so that all must eat the
same kind of food may be to surfeit
one animal while another may not be
supplied. There is no fixed rule for
“feeding any class of animals.
Land that is manured in the
fall will be in good condition in the
spring if the subsoil is heavy. A loss
often resuits when manure is spread
on unplowed land, due to washing of
the rains in winter, but if the manure
is turned under with a one-horse plow
the loss will be light, In the late fall
the hauling of the manure may be
done to better advantage, as the teams
are not then busy.
During the winter season, when no
work can be done outside, the labor
cau be profitably employed in cooking
the food, but what is wanted is an in-
vention that will lessen the cost of
heating the food. Warm food is in-
vigorating, and for that reason it may
be made profitable, as increased pro-
duction of milk is often obtained from
cooked food.
How many pounds of milk are re-
quired to make a pound of butter de-
ends on the breed and the character:
stice of the cows. Recent experiments
made show that it requires from 33 to
7% pounds of milk to make oue pound
of cream, and from 3% to 53 pounds of
cream to make one pound of butter.
No two cows give milk that is alike
in composition. About two pounds of
milk make one quart. ;
The solids in milk vary from 12 to
15} per cent., and after the water has
heen removed from the milk there will
still be no uniformity in the solids, as
they vary in their relative proportions
of fat, caseine, sugar, and mineral mat.
ter. There is probably no substance
eo lacking in uniformity as the milk
from different cows in a herd, 80 far as
quality is concerned. To adopt a uni-
form standard for milk is a very diffi- |
eult matter.
Josephine.
I was at Miners’ Creek in Idaho
when an incident happened that was
both amusing and uncomfortable.
“Who names this child 2’ said the
parson as he looked at the two mountain
specimens who had brought in their ba-
by to be ‘‘krisened.”
The man stepped forward and said
loud encugh for the rest of the school
house congregation to hear:
“ (Tain’t got no name yet. Me and
Sally couldn’t hitch on a name.”
“How will Joseph do ?”’ asked the
parson anxiously.
“I reckon that will do fust rate,” an-
swered the man, and as the woman did
not object the ceremony proceeded and
the infant was duly christened Joseph.
The mountaineer and his wife did not
stay to the rest of the service, as the
newly christened child had powerful
lungs and knew how to use them.
But the next day they returned and
brought some of their friends with them.
“Yer made a right smart kind of a
mistake,”’ said baby’s grandmother,
who accompanied it this time, ‘an’ I
"low it’s again the law, too. Yer Kris-
ened the baby Joseph.”
“And it’s a good name, too,” said the
parson, much surprised.
“Not for this ‘ere young un, I reckon.
Why, man alive, it's a gal.”
“Can’t help that,” said the parson
stoutly. “The objection come to late.
The father should have objected when I
offered the name.”
But here the parson’s wife came to
the rescue and with womanly tact sug-
gested a compromise on Josephine. and
the parson vowed that here after the
good woman should assist him in the ser-
vices to see that no illegal formula was
pronounced, as in this instance.
A Series of Awful Calamities.
A Typhoon Raged for Three Days, a Mountain
Opened and Swallowed People and Houses, and
Disastrous Floods are Reported. etc.
SAN Francisco, August 22.—The
Oriental steamship Gelic, which arrived
yesterday, brings details of enormous
loss of life by a typhoon, landslide and
earthquake in Japan. The typhoon
raged three days at Tokuskimi, and the
town was flooded. One hundred and
fifty people were drownad, 2,000 houses
swept away and 20,000 houses submerg-
ed. Twenty-five thousand people are
being fed by the Government. In Ako-
agun 300 people were drowned and 3.-
000 dwellings swept away. Landslides
on a mountain side in Otumera filled a
Zier and converted a valley into a huge
ake.
No details have been received, but
the people had no warning, and many
lives must have heen lost. Near Tokus-
himi a great fissure opened in the earth
at the base of the Hiji mountains, and
swallowed up houses and a hundred peo-
ple. Rumbling noises were heard for a
day oefore the disaster. The noises still
continue and the people have fled to the
hills. From Okuyama come reports of
terrible disastrous floods. Over 500
houses were submerged and 100 people
drowned.
The Japanese police are sea rcking for
two conspirators who sent boxes of
deadly explosives to Count Okuma and
two other members of the .Goveinment.
The boxes were represented as parcels
from friends, but the hand writing made
the recipients suspicious. Hach box
contained enough nitro-glycerine to kill
a dozen men, so arranged that any con-
cussion in opening the cover would ex-
plode it.
Effects of Heart.
Summer Vacations and Nerve Tonics Contrasted.
The expense as well as the impossi-
bility of leaving one’s business makes it
entirely out of the question for many
people to takea vacation, however bad
they may need it. In all cases, where
one can afford it, a vacation is proba-
bly preferable to tonics ; but for the tens
of thousands who can take no rest the
brain and nerve tonic ot modern medi-
cal science is an indispensable safe-
guard.
Nothing that is known tc the medical
profession to-day is the eqal of Pe-ru-na
in the cure or prevention of all derange-
ments due to hot weather. Pe ru-na
gives new vigor to the tired brain,
strength and quiet to the weakened
nerves, and as nearly supplies the need
of a vacation to the overworked man or
woman as it is possible for any remedy
to do. Pe-ru-na is a reliable specific for
nervous prostration, nerve exhaustion,
sleeplessness, and chronic malaria.

I have used the Cuticura Remedies, and
found them to be justas you represented.
They have given me a perfect cure. I have
been troubled with pruritus for over fifteen
years, and have been under the doctor’s treat-
ment four different times, with no relief what-
ever, until I tried the Cuticura Remedies. After
using them Jase one week, I found that life
was not such a burden afterall, and am satis-
fied that I shall never be troubled again. Such
faith I have in your remedies. You can send
any one that is troubled with pruritus, and I
will satisfy them what it has done for me. I
will not restrict you from publishing this com-

dies are so good that it would be rather selfish
in me not to speak of their good qualities.

D TEAS ——
It is a pretty well settled principal with all ex-
pert tea men that the highest perfection in tea can-
not be attained from any one kind or variety of fea
Plant. But that the best
can be obtained only by a
value and choicest flavor
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 time. and
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.

unhesitatingly claim them

If you want a cup of ROYAL TEA, try our
new blended goods.
We also carry a full line of Teas, Oolongs, Ja-
pan, Young Hyson, Imperials, Gunpowder, Eng-
lish Breakfast, also several grades of blended goods,

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 cam be
nicely displayed and still kept away from

16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
