Somer
Farm Notes.
Stock with inherent good qualities
will make money with the same feed
and care that scrubs will return a loss.
If the borers are to be gotten out of
the trees now is the time to get at the
work. A sharp knife is all that is re-
quired.
Always sell from the inferior stock.
The best should be retained for breed-
ing purposes. No farmer can afford to
seli his best.
Sow early tomato and cabbage seed
in boxes or hotbeds now if you wish to
have large plants ready to transplant
when the season opens.
A ‘balanced’ ration for the animals
and for the soil is necessary in order to
obtain the best results, One kind of
food and one kind of fertilizer will
starve both the stock and the soil.
1t is said that if the seeds of apples
and pears are placed in a flower pot as
800n as eaten they will produce plants
that will attain a s’ze sufficient to per-
mit of transplanting them in the fall.
Never set out voung fruit trees on a
grass sod. If an orchard is contem-
lated, let the ground be plowed and
ae An orchard requires culti-
vation and will not thrive if neglected.
A draught of air through the stable
during the prevalence of a cold rain
will do more harm than when the ven-
tilaiors are open on a cold winter day.
Dampness is more severely felt than
cold.
It is claimed by a successful peach
grower that the fruit should be go thin-
ned out on the tree as to leave six 1nch-
es of space between ‘the peaches, and
to also thin out some of the branches
as well,
It will not require more than one
hour to become familiar with the in-
gredients of solutions tor spraying the
trees and vines and it isimportant that
every fruit grower should understand
all about them, as well as how to use
the sprayer.
In planning for next season do not
risk all on a single crop. Grow sever-
eral crops, so that if one fails there will
be others to depend upon. The rains
and droughts, as well as the insects,
often upset some of the apparently
surest prospects.
Plant the roses where you can easily
look after them. The roil should be
very rich, and grass and weeds must be
kept out oi the soil around them. The
best liquid fertilizer for roses is a ta-
blespoonful of saltpetre (nitrate of soda)
in a two rallon watering-pot of water,
applied twice a week.
The farmers will soon be as busy as
bees preparing for corn. If they be-
stowed as much care and labor on some
vegetable crops as they do on corn they
would perhaps secure larger profits,
There are a great any crops to select
from, and there is no knowing what
can oe done with any of them until
they are given a trial.
Over in England, when a barrel of
apples is sold, the purchaser does not
accept the top row of applesas a sam-
ple of the whole, but empties the
fruit on a platform for inspection. Such
a method renders it useless for the
farmer to place the best on top, and
the result is that the fruit in the bar-
rels 1s unitorm throughout.
Gooseberries thrive on moist soil, or
in the shade of trees, and they may be
used in the rows along the borders of
walkways, wherethey will take up but
litile room. Currants may be placed
next the fence, out of the way. They
should receive good cultivation with a
hoe or spade, however, or the grass
will take possession of the ground.
Fat in the food is the heat producing
substance. Protein supplies the ele:
ments that build up the muscles, being
nitrogenous, while the carbo-hydrates
are sugar, starch, gum, ete.” One
pound of fat is estimated to equal two
and a halt pounds of carbo hydrates in
‘the production of heat. The ash is
composed of the mineral substances
that exist after combustion of the
whole.
The mineral elements that enter into
the com position of plants vary accord-
ing to the stages of growth of each
plant. A month may make a great
difierence, As plants approach matur-
ity lime and silica increase rapidly, as
they stiffen the stalks and form what
may be termed the bony structure. Si:
lica, which abounds largely in nearly
all of the staple crops, is plentiful in the
soil, and costs nothing. It possesses
no value,
At some of the Western dairy schools
the students are not only fully instruc
ted in all that pertains to butter and
cheese making, but they are also re-
quired to know the points ofthe breeds.
They are taught to judge catile by
“scoring them, marking the defects
and alloting to each section of the ani-
mal the proper points scored. Gradu-
ates are experts, and are fitted as teach-
ers in dairy schools, or to practice
dairying on the farm ia a scientific
manner: :
There may be some excuse for a
farmer not having the best cows, but
there is no reason why he should not
have the best that he can get according
to his means. If farmers will only
stop their buying their fresh cows, dis-
card the scrub bull, and raise their
calves they will make the first step to
greater profit. It may take a little
more time to raise a'good cow, by the
use of improved stock, than tuo buy a
poor one already in tull flow, but the
difference in profit is so great in that
derived frem the good one as to amply
repay for all the time lostin raising
the calf.
A ot i mi
Your Husband.
1n the Ladies’ Home Journal for
February is an article by Octave Thanet
entitled That Man ; Your Husband,”
from which we copy the following, hop-
ing it will speak to some wife whose
heart may be growing sore with the fear
that outside attraciions are winning the
affections of the well-beloved from her-
selt and home :
Every bride knows her power ; every
wile comes to know her weakness. A
good proportion of the heartbreak of ear-
ly married lite is due to the ferment of
this knowledge. The poor child whose
lover gave up his cigars and his club
with such angelic meekness, finds thas
her husband can smoke like a chimney,
and leaves her alone nights in order to
spend the evenings with his men friends.
She imagines that he cares less for her
than he did, which is a mistake, in moat
cases, seven out of ten men love their
wives better t2an their sweethearts. It
is simply that her presence is not the
absorbing excitement that it was when
love was new. The chances are that the
wife is become a dozen times more ne-
cessary to he man than ever the sweet-
heart couid have been. He would feel
her death far more keenly, but he does
not need to adjure his heart to “sit still”
whenever his tancy summons her image.
In short, she 13 become the bread of ex-
istence in place of the elixir. Now,
most of us who have sense would prefer
to be bread rather than elixir, but their
is no question that more fuss is made
over the elixir.
The heart of woman turns with a
homesick yearning to the delicate cour-
tesy, the tenderness, the thousand en-
desrments of that enchanted time when
her husband was her lover. How keep
bim her lover 7
ATER,
Expanding the Vaccination Theory.
When Jenner discovered the protec-
tive power of vaccination in cases of
sn.allpox he seems to have caught the
hem of a great scientfiic principle under
which were concealed many of the re-
sources of nature for healing the mala-
dies which nature permits, in order to
warn mankind how thoy ought to live.
The whole industry ot Pasteur in France
of Koch in Germany and of others else-
where has been directed to the investi-
gation and application of the principle
upon which Jenner stumbled when he
observed that the dairy maids of England
were less exposed to smallpox tnan per-
sons who never milked diseased cows.
And now we have a Swiss country doc-
tor—Viquerat, of Moudon, in the Can-
ton Vaud —-who thinks be bas discover-
ed a way of curing abscesses and other
septic maladies by the use of what he
calls J antsieptine, a serosanguinolent
lymph, which is produced on abscesses
that he has treated with a solution of
iodine,
Origin of the Greenback.
Colonel Edmund Dick Taylor is the
man to whom Abraham Lincoln ascribed
the origin of the Greenback. He was
a Native of Virginia and a cousin of
President Zachary Taylor. His father
was a captain in the Revolutionary war
It was be who urged Abraham Lincoln
tostudy law and helped him with mon.
ey to buy law books. Young Lincoln
made his ho ne with Col. Taylor for sev
eral years. Woon Lincoln|hecame Piesi-
dent at the une when Ameiican cred-
it, was low and soldiers were demanding
their pay, hesent for Mr. Taylor as the
maa who, to use Mr, Lincoln's own
words, “will know what 18 best to do.,’
Mr. Taylor rephed : “Issue Treasury
notes on the best bank paper bearing
no interest. Declare it a legal tender
and pay the soldier and all other cred-
itors with this money.” Mr. Cbase
thought the experiment hazardous, but
finally agreed to it. Tous was accom-
plished the greatest blessing the republic
could have had at that time.
Old-Fashioned Cough Medicine.
At this season of the year, when colds
and coughs are prevalent, the tollow-
ing homemade cough medicine will be
found very beneficial for young and
old:
Take one cup of flaxseed, two ounces
of rock candy, two ounces of stick liquo-
rice, tour ounces of large ra'sins, Add
two quarts of water, boil it down to one
quart: Take balf a capful every night
with a tablespoontul of lemon juice
mixed in it,
Avother excellent remedy, which is
more quickly prepared, is made by
melting a piece of butter the size of a
waluut with a tablespoonful of vinegar
and a tablespoontul of sugar, Take it
as hot as possible and just before going
to bed.
Older Than St. Augustine.
Poor old St. Augustine! ‘She may
still lay claim to a genial winter climate
and to a beautiful location ; but the duy
when she shall gain notoriety and shek-
els by claiming to be the oldest town in
Uncle Sam’s domain has probably pass-
ed. Tucson, Arizona, has come to the
front not only with a counter claim, but
with the proof of ber greater age—pooof
that seems to leave “no hinge nor loop
‘to hang a doubt’ on.” St. Augustine
has claimed to have been: founded : by
Melendez in 1565 ; but after patiently
hunting for it for 300 years Tucson has
found in the old church of San’ Xavier
del Bac the original eharter issued to the
Pueblo of Tucson by Ferdinand and
Isabella in 1552. or thirteen years before
St. Augustine was first beard of. Truly,
there’s luck in odd numbers, even in
the dreaded thirteen.

It is a fact well established, that February
and March are the most trying manths to aged
or enfeebled persons. Pneumonia, influenza
and kindred chest afflictions, are most liable
to get in their deadly work. There is but one
thing to do, build up and aad fortify the sys-
tem with a pure stimulant. Medical men sll
over the country agree that Klein's “Silver
Age” at 31.50 per quart, and “Daquesne’ at
$1.25 per quart, stand without a peer. If you
