Farm Notes.
If you print the butter, have your in-
itial or the name of your farm cut in
the print; it will serve as a kind of
3 trademark.
Two and one-half pounds of good
vream should make one pound of good
‘butter, and there is nothing gained in
having the cream too thick or too thin,
On the best cows the hide is general
ly rather thin and soft and oily, and
the hair is fine. inclined to be short,
and in many cases makes one think of
& soit far.
#2 No dairyman can correctly feed his
animals unless he is a close observer.
Each cow requires food according to
her capacity, her condition, and her ap-
petite.
if radishes do not do well in your
garden try putting a coat of creek sand
on a bed and mix it thoroughly with
the same bulk of rotten stable manure. |
Coal ashes will answer the same pur. |
pose as sand.
A disadvantage of having sprouts of
seed potatoes long at the time of plant
ing is that many of them break off in
the handling, and the eyes fail to start
as quickly as if the smaller ones, unin-
jured, had been on the pieces.
Skim milk, ground oats, and mid-
dlings will make pigs grow very rapid-
ly. Ifthey are large enough to have
the run of a clover field it will not be
necessary to give them more than one
good meal a day during warm weather.
Corn does not require deep cultiva-
tion. If the soil is made loose for an
inch in depth it is all that is required.
The object in cultivating corn is to
keep the young weeds and grass down,
and to provide a mulch of loose earth
on the surface of the soil.
The small, fine wooled sheep will no
longer meet the requirements of East.
ern flock masters—more body, earlier
maturity and the proclivity to produce
lambs which may be turned at three
months and then have attained a size
to meet the requirements of the mar-
ket for that commodity.
Farming differs from any other busi.
pess in the world, in that it demands
the personal care and oversight of the
proprietor in every minute detail. This
is the reason why small farming pays
better than large farming, and is also
the reason why attempts to carry on
agriculture upon the wholesome plan
have rarely been successful.
Trees having a thrifty growth are
less liable to the attack of disease and
insects than most others. Aun excep
tion may be found in the case of rapid-
ly growing pear trees, which are some-
times suddenly stricken with fire blight.
But as a rule, keep the trees growing if
you care to see them succeed—and
most people do wish that.
The best protection to bees is to
have strong colonies. It is better to
put two or three weak colonies togeth-
er than to attempt to have them work
at a disadvantage. Ifthe hive becomes
filled and indications of swarming ap-
pear, add more honey boxes for the
bees to fill, which will induce them to
remain in the hive, and thus form a
strong colony.
To get the best results from the use
of commercial fertilizers the object
should be to supply that which is lack-
ing, as the soil may require one kind
ot plant food mcre and but very little
of another. If corn is grown after a
crop of clover the application of one or
two bags of superphosphate per acre,
well harrowed in, is excellent, and on
gome soils potash may also be added.
Every tree planted and cared for is
worth more to the community as a
whole than to the individual; if A
plants a grove of ten acres on bis farm
every farm in the neighborhood is ben-
efitted. If one-half the farms in a
county were provided with ten or twen-
ty acres of forest each it would greatly
increase the value of the adjoining
farms.
The Merinos are the only breed of
sheep that can be handled in yery large
flocks. This is a fact that the breed:
ers of mutton sheep should keep well in
mind. Success with a few will natural:
ly lead them to a desire to increase
their flocks, and with the larger num:
bers they will not do so well. On the
other hand. it should be remembered
that the Merino is not a mutton sheep.
About 62 degrees is the temperature
for churning, but some dairymen go as
low as 58 degrees. Unless a thermom-
eter is used it will be impossible to reg-
ulate the temperature.” When butter
is slow in coming in it will be found
that the temperature is too high or low.
Much depends on the condition of the
cream also. It should all be of the
same age, and not composed of the
skimmings of several days mixed to-
gether.
A dairyman who was milking a large
herd of average cows took five of the
best and five of the poorest ones, and
keeping an accurate account of the cost
of feed and care, found that while the
five good ones were paying a fine profit.
the other five were wctually costing
him $7 per head anbually over and
above the value of the milk they yield-
ed. Iodividual testis the only means
of ascertaining the profit and loss in the
dairy.

Off for Chicago.
The Three Spanish Caravels Start for the
World's Fair.
New York, June 6.—Shortly before
noon to-day the three Spunish caravels
which have been anchored up the North
river for the last six weeks, made a start
for Chicago. They eame down the river
in tow of the tug Triton.
The three caravels were lashed to-
gether side by side, and they turned the
battery wall on their way up the East
river at 12.10 p. m. At Whitestone,
the United States cruiser Newark was
lying in wait to convey the caravels and

He Was Embarrassed.
Jinks was a young man who had
been married a year, and he was telling
a friend how diffident he was when
single.
“Were you much embarrassed when
you popped -the question ?”’ asked bis
friend.
“Embarrassed ? Well, I should say I
was. 1 owed $1,500 for board and
clothes and one thing or another, and I
didn’t have a darned cent to pay it
with.”’—Texas Siftings.

ARiver in the Bosom of the Sea.
The Gulf Stream is well described as
a river in the bottom of the ocean. Its
banks and its bottom are of cold water,
while its currant is of warm ; it takes
its rise in the Gulf of Mexico, and
empties itself into the Arctic Sea. The
Gulf Stream is more rapid than the
Amazon, more impetuous than the
Mississippi, and its volume more than
1000 times greater. Its waters are of
an indigo blue, and the line of junction
ean be easily marked by the eye.

ACE ALMOST RAW.
ERUPTION FROM BIRTH. DOCTOR AND
SIMPLE REMEDIES FAILED. CURED
IN THREE WEEKS BY CUTICURA.
I wish to thank vou for the good that Cuti-
cura has done my child. I send portrait. A
short time after its birth its face broke out
with some kind of eruption. I consulted our
family doctor about it, and he told me there
was not much to be done for it. We tried some
Soke remedies. and they all failed to do any
good. At last I thought to try Cuticura Reme-
dies, and the result is wonderful. My wife used
Cuticura Remedies abont four times a day. At
the time we first commenced to use Cuticura,
the face was almost raw. It looked the same
as a burn would look as if the skin was peeled
off, and after about three weeks’ use of the Cu-
ticura Remedies it was cured. I did not think
Cuticura would amount to much, but the result
has changed my mind. I will never be with-
out them.
