Farm Notes,
Better cultiyate three acres with
good crops than five with a half
crop.
Ifearly greens are desired sow the
seeds of kale as soon as the ground
will permit, as the plants are hardy.
It is well established that young ani
mals m~ke a more rapid growth in pro-
portion to size than older ones, and the
ratio is decreased as the animals ap-
proach maturity, hence the advantage
in feeding young growing animals.
The harness needs cloaning and oil-
ing as frequently ‘as ‘the wagon, and
such work is usually neglected. Clean
collars prevent sores and rubbing of
the shoulders, and enables the horses
to work with greater ease and comfort.
Onions will grow on the same land
year after year, but it is best to make
a change of soil occasionally, and grow
the crop on a new location. The
secret of growing large owons is to
keep the grass and weeds down and to
have the land rich.
Dr. Jenkins, of Yale says : “Treat
your milk cans as you would your
neighbor’s children if you have a con-
tagious disease in your family. Don’t
bring the cans. to_ the house, and be
sure to wash them with, water in no
way contaminated.”
Battling with the insects requires
constant work early in the season, but
it pays well to engage in their destruc
tion. The loss to farmers and fruit
growers every year by insect depreda-
tions reaches the large sum of four
hundred millions of dollars,
For lawn grass there is nothing bet-
ter than wood ashes, if you have them.
If fertilizers are used potash should
predominate. Lime is nearly always
beneficial to lawns if applied early, and
a bag of superphosphate per acre will
also be found of advantage.
A Minuvesota farmer desires to sell
his flock of 480 sheep for a reason not
often given. Haviog kept a flock of
about one sheep tothe acre for 20
years past, his land has become so rich
that he cannot grow flax, wheat or any
of the small grains, though it grows
good crops of corn and roots.
How many men are constantly ask-
ing which 18 the best breed or which
is the best separator or churn or other
thing to be used in the dairy? Nature
does not seem to admit of any abso-
lutely best in this world. There are so
many points to cover that no one breed
acimal or machine can possibly com-
pass them all.
The farmer needs being reminded
that greater caution is being exercised
in inspecting the fruit that comes into
the market than formerly. So many
choice varieties have been introduced
within the past decade that any fruit
sent to market that is not of the best
quality will bring but little more than
the cost of transportation when sold.
Strawberries should receive an appli-
cation of fertilizer now, so as to allow
plenty of time for the substance to dis-
solve and be carried down to the roots
by the rains. If the rows were treated
with fertilizer last fall the best sub
stance to apply now is about 100
pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, but
il no fertilizer was then applied, potash
and the phosphates should be added.
Deterioration of seed is a possiblility,
and it sometimes pays to procure new
seed from some other locality, or from
seedsmen who make a specialty of pro-
curing certain seeds from sections in
which such seeds can be grown to the
best advantage. At the same time it
is not wise to discard the seed that has
been tried and tested for something
new until the new seed has been ex-
perimented with.
Cultivate a garden on the farm by
making the rows long and as straight
as possible, so as to permit of using
the cultivator or horse hoe between
therows, It is the laborous work
with the hoe that deters some farmers
from growing garden crops, but there
is nothing to prevent them from grow-
ing vegetables early and late if the
ground is well harrowed and the rows
laid off by a line or by stakes.
An acre of ground is capable of giv.
ing a large return for the outlay, but it
depends upon what is produced upon
it. The largest broiler farms do not
cover as much as one acre, and an acre
of asparagus or celery will pay more
than 20 acres of corn. One ean there-
fore afford to give 20 times as much
labor to such crops compared with
that required for corn. It matters not
what the cost may be if the profits are
correspondingly as great. :
There are many cases where the dis-
ease known as the “yellows’ in peach.
es has been supposed to have attacked
the trees when such was not the case.
Many fruit growers are not familiar
with the characteristics of the disease,
and have, consequently, attributed the
dying ef the trees to the yellows when
the difficulty may have been caused by
lice. Itis at the roots of the trees
that lice do the greatest damage, and
they may be at work for months be-
fore discovered.
Diseases of plants may be eradicated
by ommitting the crops that are subject,
to diseases from land for a series of
years, The potato rot of the sweet po-
tato cannot. be prevented. except by
keeping sweet potatoes off the land un.
til the rot, or itsjspores, have been de
stroyed by growing some otherecrop on
the land that is not subject to the dis-
ease. Onions, once a profitable crop
in Connecticut, became unprofitable,
and the growing of them for a while
bad to be abandoned. Now the land

What is a Creole ?
. Thire is probably no subject upcn
which people are more generally misin-
formed than they are respecting creoles.
Most persons suppose a creole is of
mixed blood, perbaps Spanish and
Mexitan, or French and Indian, while
others imagine they are tainted with
negrd blood. Nothing san jossibly be
further from the trath, Oia reliable
authdrity says the word crevie signifies
a perton born in America or in the
West Iadies, of Europsaa parents.
Another says, ‘Creole was ‘a term
which primarily was used to denote an
|| inbabitant of the Spanish colonies who
was descended from the Earopean set:
tlers, and distinguished from the abor-
igines, the negroes and 'mulattoes.”
The word. it derived from . ‘criollo” a
Spanish word meaning native bora,
ence children of European parents
born in the West India island were
called creoles, or native born, to distin-
tinguish them from the children of the
same parents who had been born in
Europa before they emigrated. Origin-
ally the term was applied to white per-
sons, but now it is more loosely used,
and has undergone both a limitation
is limited to
persons born near the tropics, and is now
mads to include persons of all colors.
For this reason negroes born in Cuba
ara called creole negroes, or native born
negroes, to distinguish them from those
who had been imported trom Africa
during the time of the slave trade.
Webster says, “The application of the
term to colored people has led to an
idea common in some parts of the
United States, though wholly unfound.
ed, that it implies an admixture greater
or less of African blood’ A creole, in
the primary sense, is therefore a person
of pure white blood, without any ad-
mixture whatever, born of parents after
they had emigrated from Europe and
located in the West Indies or. Spanish
American colonies along the Guif of
Mexico. Creoles are found in Louisiana
Florida, Texas, Mexico and South
America states. They are distinguished
for the freedom and suppleness of their
joints, which enables them to move with
great ease, avility and grace. They
excell in penmanship, and in every-
thing requiring flexibility of movement
The women have soft voices, beautiful
black hair, fine eyes and teeth, but ow-
ing to their moderation in hving—many
of them scarcely tasting meat—they ara
languid and dreamy as well as fascinat-
ing, which accounts for them being
spoken of as the beautiful creole ladis
of this or that city.--Philipsburg Led-

The Best Joke.
As I was leaving Pittsburg I was ap-
proached by a young man who, after
giving me his card, thanked me most
earnestiy for my lecture of last night;
in fact, he nearly embraced me.
“I never enjoyed myself so much in
my life,” he said.
TI grasped his hand.
“I am glad,” TI replied, “that my
bumble effort pleased you so much
Nothing is more gratifving to a lecturer
than to know he has afforded pleasure to
his audience.”
“Yes,” be said, “it gave me immense
pleasure. You see, I am engaged to be
married to a girl in town. All her fam
ily went to your show, and I bad the
girl at home «ull to myself. Ob I had
such a good time ! Thank you so much!
Do lecture here again soon.”
And after wishing me a pleasant jour-
ney he left. TI was glad to know I left
at least one friend and admirer behind
me in Pittsburg.

When Doctors All Agree.
Itis a fact well established, that February
and March are the mott trying months 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 »ll
over the country agree that Klein's “Silver
Age” at $1.50 per gnart, and “Duaquesne’’ at
$1.25 per quart, stand without a peer. If you
want fine six year o!ld Gueckenheimer, Finch,
