Farm Notes.
The fodder that has stood out in the
field all the winter will not possess much
feeding value now.
Sow pansy seed in boxes, and get the
lants get out in the open ground as ear-
v as possible. Make the soil very rich
if you desire large flowers.
One-eighth of an acre, used as a plot
to make tests and experiments, will be
sufficient to enable tbe farmer to learn
‘how to better manage his whole farm.
Two of the most prosperous sections
of New Jersey contain farms mostly of
-5 and 10 acres, the produce being fruit.
They realize more profit than do some
farmers with ten times as much lund
that is devoted to general farming.
The supposition that exposure of the
young stock will ‘“barden’ them may
be true in some respects; but there is
always a corresponding loss in some oth-
er direction. Young stock, well cared
for, will give the best results in the end.
One of the implements that should be
completely overhauled and put in the
best order is the seed drill. The slight-
est disarrangement of ils working ap-
paratus may cause a loss of seed, while
many places in the rows may not be
seeded at all.
The hot bed should be ready now. It
should contain enough fresh manure to
ferment and create heat. Unless com-
plete protection from frost can be secured
the plants will not make sufficient
growth to t~ of advantage compared
with later crops.
Germany is becoming one of our best
customers for grain. Within two years
the exportations of grain to Germany
have increased to 12 times the amount
usually shipped, and one-third of all the
grain imported by Germany comes from
the United States.
The pig that is farrowed in the spring
should be large enough for slaughter in
the full. Small sizes are preferred. The
day has passed for raising pigs for lard
only. The clover patch is now con-
sidered as important as the corn crib in
the feeding of pigs.
Pampered animals are suitable for
breeding purposes. It is well to keep
an animal in good condition, but fat 1s
detrimental to breeding stock if the best
results are expected. Many cows and
sows remain barren as long as they are
in a very fat condition.
Hauling wood is sometimes made the
winter work, as but little time for that
duty can be given in the summer, but
the condition of the roads =wiil regulate
the cost of the hauling. The taxes are
small compared to the wear and tear of
wagons and horses on bad roads at this
Season.
When a farmer wishes more land
he should try the experiment of aiming
to double ihe product of his farm, with-
out extending its area. When he has
worked in that direction for a few sea-
sons he will then be more inclined to
get rid of some of his land instead of de-
siring muore. A 10 acre farm is a large
one if it is properly cultivated to its
highest limit of production.
The amount of water that passes into
the manure heap which is exposed to
the rains and the amount of matter that
is carried away by being dissulved out,
during the winter and early spring is
very great. Hundreds of loads of manure
are hauled to the fields that is not worth
the labor of hauling, simply because it
is not properly cared for.
Cucumbers, melons and lima beans
may be planted in paper boxes, and
when the weather becomes warm the
boxes may be put into the ground. The
paper should be of light quality, and it
will soon soften in the ground, permit-
ting the roots of the plants to push
through. It is an excellent method of
securing early plants that are not easily
transplanted in any other way.
There are many corners and nooks on
the farm where grape vines ight be
placed instead of allowing a crop of
weeds to hold possession and send out
seeds to stock the farm as fast as the soil
is cultivated. A single grape vine will
sometimes supply a whole family with
grapes, and there are dozens of places
on every farm where grape vines could
be placed without sacrifice of valuable
space.
It is at this season that the plow, har-
row, cultivator and small tools will re-
quire being in order, for even a boli out
ot place will be sufficient to render some
tools useless ; but the fac is that rust and
decay, from. exposure during the winter,
will have been the cause. Lcok over
the tools, and use the grindstone, sand-
paper and plenty ot oil in getting them
in order.
In some sections the farmer will incur
debt in the winter because there is no
source of revenue at that season. This
does not apply so much to the dairyman
as to the fruit grower. The poultry
business should come in well to fill up
the gap in winter. It will enable a great
many to be employed who would other
wige be idle, and eggs are always sold
for cash, thus giving returns.
If the cattle sent to market by the
farmers in this section were of the best
quality for beef the increased prices
would be very remunerative. Those
who procure steers, and fatten them, do
not omit the food, while the best of care
is bestowed, but that point which is
lacking is the breed, the ability to make
the most beef at the least cost. Scrubs
cannot convert their food into a market-
able product except at greater cost than
for the beef breeds.
It does not pay to keep an animal a
day longer than when it becomes ready
for the market. Trying to add an extra
pound or two on a very fat animal may
cost much more than the value of the
extra gain. The loss from retaining fat
animals longer than is necessary often
more than balances the profit, and some
farmers find that they have derived no
benefit from fattening their stock simply
because they supported the animals lon-
ger thar should have been the case.

The Unprecedented Lemon Cure.
We are fresh from a conference with
my inner consciousness on the subject
of lemons. Tn the days of antiquity,
say a year ago, the subject of lemons
was not especially complicated, but that
was when everybody had a pet infailible
remedy for every evil under the sun and
the lemon was only one of the thousand
and one things to be recommended. But
this winter, if you want to remove
stains from your linen or the redness
from your nose, the remedy is lemons. It
you complain of a tickling in your
throat or obstinate dirt under your
finger nails, the remedy is lemons. It
do sn’t matter in the least that doctors
disagree, the family saves have united
upon lemons, and lemons it is, for inter-
nal remedy and external beautification.
The cut-glass bottles on my lady's
toilet tatle are all filled witha pale
yellowish fluid, and a peep into the
dainty porcelain boxes shows only bils
of lemon instead of sundry scented
creams. The family medicine chest is
growing cobwebbed and dusty, while
the bottles inside clink in emptv, melan-
choly cadence, and the insmediate cause
thereof is found in the grocers bill,
which shows two dozen lemons a
week,
If anybody could give us any intor-
mation about this unprecedented lemon
boom we should feel very much rehev-
ed. Tbe newspapers may be answera-
ble for it toa certain extent, of course,
but to the untutored feminine mind it
suggested all sorts of gigantic financial
schemes, a corner in lemons for instance,
or something else equally inexplicabls
and, therefore, highly terrifying, and
before wa become wedded to the use of
lemons for the toilet and the health let
somebody explain why we are all lemon
mad, if anybody can explain it.

When Doctors All Agree.
It is a fact well established, that February
and March are the most trying mcnths 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 and fortify the sys-
tem with a pure stimulant. Medical men sll
over the country agree that Klein's “Silver
Age” at $1.50 per quart, and “ Duquesne’’ at
$1.25 per quart, stand without a peer. If you
want fine six year old Guckenheimer, Finch,
Gibson, Overholt, or Bear Creek, you can have
them at $1 00 per qnart or six quarts for $5.00.
