Farm Notes.
Gooseberries and currants thrive
best if planted very early in the season.
Late planting retards them in growth.
It is just as cheap to start a new or
chard as it is to attempt to bring an
old orchard back to its original condi-
tion.
The success of the farmer depends on
himself to a great extent. Special
farming is more profitable than gener
al farming, as the latter divides the at:
tention.
Here is a new wrinkle for the dairy-
man. tis said that a Chautauqua
farmer fed his waste grapes to his cows
and produced butter of an unusually
fine flavor.
The method practiced for destroying
.cutworms is to plow the land as early
in spring as it can be done, which ex:
poses the worms to the effects of the
«cold at the surface,
Eggs have been high enough this win-
ter to satisfy all who are interested in
poultry. Feed the hens a ration of
meat and cut bone, which will induce
them to lay more eggs.
Co operative insect warfare is sug
gested by one who believes in the feasi-
bility of a community obtaining some
man who should spray the orchards
and look after insect pests.
Some of the finest crops of strawber-
ries are produced on light sandy land,
and without mulching as a protection
in winter. Plants grown in sandy soil
are not eo easily thrown out and in-
jured by the frost as are those grown
on heavy clay soils.
As early in the spring as it can be
done is the best time to apply fertilizers
to the lawn. It wellrotted manure
was applied last fall it will be an ad-
vantage to rake the manure over, 80 as
to evenly distribute ‘it, as soon as the
snow is off the ground.
When the heifer has her first calf
she should be milked as long as possi-
ble, as the first year will fix the dura-
tion of the period of milking. In fact,
all the training and education intended
for the cow must be given her when
she has her first calf.
Tn 1889 I fed a bunch of heifer calves
for beef, making them average 700
pounds at ten and eleven months old,
and sold for $3.50 per hundred. These
were fed on old-fashioned, deep setting
skim-milk, which, like the Dutchman's
straw, was not half skimmed some of
the time.
As a precaution against ticks on
sheep, an Obio sheep breeder suggests
giving them sulphur in their food, in-
stead of dipping the sheep. In the use
of sulphur in the food of 600 lambs
which were infested with ticks during
last winter, the pests were completey
gotten rid of.
The sheep will eat many articles that
other stock will not touch. For that
reason sheep should pay on those farms
where much goes to waste, because it
cannot be sold. Young weeds, and
many grasses that are unsuitable for
hay, can be converted into woo! and
mutton by the aid of sheep.
A ration composed of six quarts of
feed daily, given in two feedings, is con-
sidered by a practical dairyman as a
proper proportion for a cow in full flow,
with all the hay she will eat. The
food is composed of two parts bran,
two parts malt sprouts, one part corn
meal and one part cottonseed meal.
Plowing each year toward the trees,
be it ever so light, will in time raise a
mound around the tree, from six to
eightinches in height. Ifa heavy sod
forms rain cannot penetrate to the
roots of the trees and they literally
starve to death. To avoid this as far
as practicable, employ level cultivation,
Small fruits are usually put too close
together in the rows, and also the rows
are not sufficiently far enough apart to
ermit of thorough cultivation and al-
ow for increase of plants. Eight feet
for blackberry rows is not too much
width for the rows, and cabbages, or
some kind of vegetables, may be grown
in the rows the first year.
Peach trees from the nursery are of-
ten untrue to variety, and it is a fre
quent occurrence to have orchards fail
to produce fruit of the varieties order-
ed. These mistakes are made in bud-
ding the stock, and are unintentional.
Every fruitgrower should graft and bud
his own trees, and he will then be sure
of having his orchard of the varieties
which he prefers.
It is estimated that about 40 per cent.
of the corn fodder produced in the Unit-
ed States is wantonly wasted by the
farmers. This immense loss would
lift the mortgages off all the farms in
a few years, if prevented, as well as
pay off the whole of the national debt.
1a addition to the waste of corn folder
there is also a great loss in straw, due
to improper methods in utililizing it,
For keeping fruit to the best advan-
tage in winter, the following require
ments should be observed : (1) Keep
the temperature within a few degrees
of the freezing point. (2) Let it be as
uniforin as possible, as an occasional
warm draught hastens decay. (3) Ex-
clude air currents not required ‘to
maintain veutilatioo aud uniform cold.
(4) Keep all odors away from the fruit.
Roads are expensive when they are
frequently repaired. Much of the cost
of repairing is avoided if the road is
made good at the beginning. The
time for making roads is not when they
are used ‘most, but when there is the
least travel, other than during the win-
ter season, so that there will be as little
interference with work as possible.
The material used depends largely on
the kinds most easily and cheaply pro-
cured that are suitable for the purpose.
Helping Out a Friend.
The late Leopold Morse was too
much of a man to be ashamed of his
calling, and never failed to turn the ta-
bles on any one who chaffed him about
it. A story used tobe toldofa visit
paid to his store in Boston by a Wash-
ington swell who had met him at the
Metropolitan club here, and who
thought to have a little anzusement at
his expense. As the visitor entered Mr.
Morse was just in the get of bowing out
a customer to whom he had sold a large
bill of goods.
«Ha, Morse!” cried the Washing-
tonian, “how I wish the fellows at the
clab could see you now ! I watched the
way you handled that poor wretch. It
was artistic, but it wouldn’t do to tell
away from home. What will you give
to keep quiet about it 2"
The clothier looked his celler in the
face without a smile.
“I must gif you someding to buy
your silence ?”’ be asked suberly.
“Certainly. It's only fair that 1
should be rewarded for holding 8 good
thing back.”
Mr. Morse turned to one of his clerks:
“Choseph,” he said, get down one o’
dem monkey chackets ve sell for two
tollars and a quarter. Letdis chentle-
man 'af it for one tollar and sefenty-fife
cent—he’s a frient of mine.”
TET ——
Whittier’s Poetic Character.
It has been said until itsays itself
that Whittier was the people’s poet.
This is true ; but he was more than that
He was the poet ofa broad humanity,
and he was the poet of a living faith.
His songs of freedom, which perhaps in
his heart's depths he cherished more
than any other phrase of his hfe’s work,
were superb outbursts. He sang them
as the prophets of Israel spoke in their
holy trances. The spirit of God con-
strained him. He was a literary Heb-
rew. Of course it scarcely need be said
that be was no Hellene. The Hellene
does not trouble himself about ‘‘causes.”’
In Whittier the sense of moral responsi-
bility awoke his genius.
His “artless art,
called, was/developed in his later years,
when the freed slave and the saved
country gave an interval of rest to that
uncompromising
science which is vaguely labeled Puri-
tan by the outside intelligence of Lor-
don, Paris or New: York, and which is
liable to make the greatest failures and
the greatest successes in American liter-
ature. — Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Cen-
tery.

The Use and Abuse of Whiskey.
This subject could be dwelt upon to a con-
siderable length, and yet much would remain
untold, but all agree that the use, the proper
use of pure rye whiskey is an absolute neces.
sity, especially so now, when nature insists
upon being stimulated. All regular physi
cians prescribe rye whiskey, and justly claim
that Klein's Silver Age and Dugnesne Whisk-
jes are most reliable. They do thjs not only
because they have tried them: but because the
leading hospitals use them—find them the
best stimulants in’ the world, Bilver Age sells

exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom. has been to sell goods
in the room in which they were made. Thi.
elegant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness cen be
nicely displayed and still kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
leather. Our factory now occupies a room
