Farm Notes.
During the summer months droughts
is usually looked for, and if rain is plen-
tiful in some sections it may be lack-
ing in others. The farmer cannot con-
trol the rainfall, but he can greatly aid
in preventing loss of the moisture
obtained before drouth occurs by keep-
ing his soil in a good condition to re-
tain that which has been stored below
the surface. The dying ot the top soil
induces the moisture from below to rise
to the surtace, where it is rapidly evap-
orated. The moisture in the subsoil is
nearly always plentiful, and is induced
to come to the soil by capillary attrac:
tion, through fiue tubes in the soil. If
these minute tubes (which exist in all
soils), are closed at their upper ends
the water ceases to rise, as is demon-
strated when a board or a piece of old
carpet is thrown on the ground, the
earth being usually found moist under
such coverings. A covering of any
kind becomes a mulch, and prevents
evaporatisn of moisture by closing the
tubes, which moisture is at once appro-
priated by plants.
A weed will pump up more moisture
in a day, from the space occupied by
its roots, than can be gained from a
light shower. Every additional plant
other than the one desired on a loca-
tion struggles to secure the moisture
from its neighbor. If the earth can-
not supply moisture for the crop it can-
not perform the double duty of provid-
ing for weeds also. [tis by cnltiva-
tion that the robber weeds are kept
away from the plants of the crop, and
gives them greater space for spreading
their roots for moisture, as well as se-
curing the plant food that would be ap-
propriated by weeds. When it is con-
sidered that some wreds have great
root capacity, and also have advantag-
es over the plants of the
crop in securing moisture, their de-
struction means not only a saving of
moisture but a gain, in addition. Ne-
glect for but a few days in cultivating
the crop may permit the loss of moist-
ure to be so great as to cause incalcu-
lable damage.
It the farmer cannot spread cover-
ings over his field, in order to retain
the moisture which has come to the
surface from the subsoil, he can break
the ends of the tubes and close them
with earth, which he does whenever
he cultivates the soil and renders it
fine. It is not uecessary to deeply
break up the ground or disturb the
roots of plants, as that is of no advan:
tage, the only cultivation required be-
ing to loosen the soil to a depth that
simply provides a covering of dry earth
which will effectually close the minute
tubes, and accomplish the desired pur-
pose. By preventing the moisture
from escaping the plants will secure it,
and they will also be induced to reach
into the subsoil with their roots to add
to their supply of moisture from below.
Cultivation, therefore, is the best reme-
dy for mitigating the effects of drought.
The dairy tests at Chicago show
that cows differ greatly. The Jer-
seys have fallen off, both in fat and
milk, but the other breeds show a
slight increase. They gave an average
of 34.7 pounds of milk the last four
days against 35.7 pounds the first four,
The best record by a Jersey cow was
44.8 pounds of milk, having 5.3 per
cent. of fat, ora total yield of 2.37
pounds. The best Jersey in the United
States, according to the evidence of-
fered by the club, produced less than
two and three-quarter pounds of butter.
This much less than the records made
in private tests.
It is difficult to secure several de-
sirable qualities in any one variety.
With strawberries great size is being
obtained in some varieties while other
varieties excel in quality. A variety
that will prove of large size, excellent
quality and which will keep well, eo
asto stand shipment to a great dis-
tance, is wanted, and thereis an ex-
cellent opportunity for some oue to
produce it.
No cow at Chicago has yet given
milk showing six per cent. of fat. The
cows that have given the results are
those that have yielded the largest
quatity of milk, as a large total of
fat requires large yields of milk. The
records at Chicago do not compare
with the private and official (club)
tests:
Animals kept in box stalls will be
more comfortable, and keep in better
condition, than when they are fastened
by the neck. This applies to the cow
as well as to the horse, and with a
daily change of bedding, as well as the
use of a brush on the hide, the cow
will be in as clean condition as when
confined ina narrow stall.
Blackcap raspberry canes are pro-
duced by tipping the ends of the canes
over, allowing them to take root in the
ground, when they are then cut off
from the parent stem. The red rasp
berry makes new plants from the roots
of the older ones, The two varities
are entirely unlike in many respect.
If a pear tree shows Spud of blight it
is best to cut away all aftected por-
tions of the tree without delay, in order
to prevent the spread of the disease. It
is 4 taking bold in time that blight is
prevented or delayed. : :
The English farmer uses nearly
three bushels of seed wheat per acre,
while not half ot that quantity is used
here. He also manures heavily, and
secures greater yields. Heavy seeding
is notalways an advantage, however.
The body of a horse presents 8
great surface to exposure of heat from
the sun. Do not force the horses.
Give them water frequently, if only a
few pints at a time. ;
A pot of paint, or a bucket of white-
wash, costing but a emall eum, will add
a hundred dollars’ value to farm io ap-
pearance.

——Mr. Edwin Lord Weeds, the artist who
accompanied the late Theodore Child on the
ill starred Persian journey in which that
writer lost his life, has prepared for Harper's
Magazine, three articles on this expedition,
which he calls “From the Black Sea to the
Persian Gulf.” The articles will deal with life
in Persia, with travelling by camel caravan,
with the cholera scourge, and with the region
rarely visited by travellers, which borders the
Persian Gulf. The text is graphically written
and the illustrations are numerous and strong
These articles will be published in the
autumn,
——Harper's Weekly for June 17th will de-
vote five pages to Edwin Booth. The text
will include an intimate account of the trage-
dian’s life by his friend Laurence Hutton, and
will be embellished by several portraits and
by illustrations of the actor in his favorite
roles and of his home at The Players’ Club,
which he founded. A page of drawings will be
devoted to the illustrations of the Campania,
the queen of ocean racers, The Philadelphia
open-air horse-show and the New York horse-
show at Manhattan field will be amply illustra-
ted. Another of “The Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes,” “The Reigate Puzzle,” by Dr. A,
Conan Doyle, and additional chapters of “The
Cliff Dwellers,” will be printed in this number,
which will also contain a page illustration,
“In and About the the Midway Plaisance” at
the Chicago Exposition.

ERUPTION FROM BIRTH. DOCTOR AND
SIMPLE REMEDIES FAILED. CURED
IN THREE WEEKS BY CUTICURA.
1 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 1t, and he told me there
was not much to be done for it. We tried some
simple 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,
