Farm Notes.
In many cases it will be better to |
sell the scrub steer whenever it is grass
fat rather than to attempt to fatten on
corn later.
A driven well supplies pure water.
Windmills are now usually attached
to driven wells, and sed the water to
all parts of the farm.
Good butter cannot be made from
cream which has been allowed to get
too warm. Sixty-six degrees is the
highest point cream should ever reach.
The cattle trough may become filthy
and slimy. At least once a week the
trough should be scrubbed with a
hroom and well rinsed with clean wa-
ter,
When sod is turned under in the fall
it becomes rotted before spring, and the
land will be in better condition for corn
than if the plowing is deferred until
next year.
It is useless to save seed from a
large and luscious watermelon if you
have several varieties, together, as the
melons, of next year, from the selected
geed, may be uniform in every re
spect.
Spontaneous combustion may result
from storing hay in the barn unless it
is properly cured and free from damp-
ness, and when curing corn fodder do
not allow it to become too dry before
cutting.
When and where to market a crop
is an important matter. Farmers who
succeed in growing and harvesting good
crops often sell at a sacrifice, because
they do not observe prices and study
the market.
The “fancy” farmer is always will-
ing to learn the best methods and to
test them, and he uses the best stock.
Lack of experience may cause him to
fail, but he teaches others many lm:
provemeats in the meantime.
Colts that are foaled in the fall will
be ready for weaning when the mare is
wanted for spring work. If givin
ground oats it will thrive well in win-
ter. Warm quarters will save much
labor in raising colts during the winter
season.
Turnips are grown for sheep with ad:
vantage in Europe. The turnips are
seeded broadcast, and when the pas
tures fail, the sheep are turned in on
turnips. The Swedes varieties are
used, the turnips being allowed to re-
main in the field during the winter.
The cow that yields largely of milk
and produces an extra quantity of but
ter is of more value than one that pro-
duces the same amount of butter from
a less quantity of milk, for the reason
that the milk itself possesses a value
independently of the butter it con-
tains.
When sending the potato crop to
market do not mix varities, and sort
evenly as to size. It does not improve
your reputation with a dealer to ship
mixed lots, nor is that the way to se-
cure good prices. It pays always 10
put your products on the market in
the best possible shape.
On light sandy soils, where the frost
does not throw the plants out of the
ground, clover seed may be sown in
August. It will become well rooted,
and in spring will secure an early start.
This plan is adopted on farms where
in the fall. On
no wheat is sown
heavy soils, very young clover, from
fall seeding, is liable to be heaved up
by frost.
It must be admitied that keeping
sheep for woolis not the proper
way to make sheep pay. The English
farmer abandoned wool growing long
ago, but he raises sheep for mutton on
high-priced land and secures a large
profit. Of course the wool possesses a
value also, but the object is to produce
choice mutton for market.
It will never injure land to have it
bear two crops in a year, if two appli-
cations of manure or fertilizer, in suf-
ficient quantities to feed the crops, are
applied. There is no limit to the re-
eponsibility of the land, provided all
‘the conditions are fayorable. It will
always pay to grow two crops instead
of one, but not unless the farmer thor-
oughly understands how to do it.
There is a period when all parts of
an animal is slow. Greater gain is se
cured by rapid growth than from in
-creased weight, by fattening an animal.
‘The younger it is, the greater the gain
proportionately. I'he farmer whorais-
.es stock for market should use the
scales, keep a record of the gain in
‘weight, and market the animals as
goon as the ratio of gain materially
lessens.
Let each farmer question himself in
regard to his stock, and aim to im-
prove his knowledge. How many
farmers can distinguish a Jersey cow
from an Ayrshire, or a Shropshire
sheep from an Oxford ? This may be
considered unimportant, but it would
appear strange to them if a lumber
merchant did not know oak boards
from pine. lt is a fact, however, that
the majority of farmers, though enthu.
giastic in their calling, do not know
the breeds of stock, and cannot judge
of their merits.
Does farming pay? Make an esti:
mate of the value of the farm and com:
pare it with its value ten or fifteen
vears ago, and if the farm has been
‘properly managed it will, perhaps,
have doubled in value. There may
have been no apparent profit but the
farm itself has improved in fertility.
Many farmers have become wealthy
by the increased value of their farms,
‘though they handled but little more
cash than was required to meet the
-expenses, The fertility of the farm is
scapital invested in the soil.
The Summer Accident.
Unfortunately, drowning, the special
summer accident, does not often occur
at the spot where medical help and
trained care are at hand to help in re-
storing lite, Young and old should
possess some knowledge of the steps to be
at once taken in su:h an emergency.
The first care should be to handle the
person gently, not to shake the littie
life there may be outof him. Treat all
injured persons with the utmost gentle-
ness, for a low state a rude touch, a jar
a loud noise frequently cuts off the
feeble breath at once.
Lay the rescued person on a board, or
on the best inclined surface at hahd in
order to lower the head to let the water
run out of the mouth.
Get the body into hot blankets as soon
as may be ; apply heat in any manner
possible and keep the heat about it;
get bottles of hot water, hot bricks ; best
of all are bags of heated sand in flannel
heart, stomach, soles of the feet and
palms, also along the legs and arms.
ress the lungs gently but firmly from
the waist up to excite a motion like
breathing. At the same time give fresh
air. Have a doctor apply electricity if
that is possible.
Do not give up till you have worked
two hours over the body, and keep it
warm all that time.
In summer a bed on the hot sand of
the beach, with plenty of blankets, is
ths very best place of all to revive one
drowned.

In British Honduras.
British Honduras is a crown colony,
and of its 30,000 population there are
about 300 whites, mainly English.
There is an American colony of about
20 people at Toledo engaged in sugar
growing and rum making. They are
mainly from Kentucky, and it isa
prosperous [colony. The country is
healthful for a tropical country, and
there has not been a case of yellow
fever in several years. The principal
product is mahogany, and it will be
years before the forests are exhausted.
Great quantities of logwood are also
shipped to Europe. We ship only
bananas and plantains to the United
States, shipping last year 728,000
bunches of bananas to New Orleans.
The great problem with us is labor,
and we import natives from the West
Indies.
We need immigration, and Sir Alfred
Maloney, the governor, is a very pro:
gressive man and is doing much to
bring us to the notice ot the world.
We have no railroads beyond a tram-
way drawn by mules, penetrating the
plantations for about six wiles. There
is not a telegraph instrument or line in
the province aud only a short telephone
line between government buildings.
We have no money of our own, but
use the silver of surrounding republics,
which is so depreciated that $5 in
American money is equal to $8.60 of
the money in use.—Interview in Wash-
ington Star.
The Little Postal Card.
The government has just awarded to
a New York firm the contract for fur-
nishing the postal department with all
postal cards that will be used in this
country for the next four years. The
contract begins October 1st next, and
between that date and October 1st, 1897,
the contractors expect to furnish Uncle
Sam with at least 2,500,000,000 postal
cards. This number is sufficient to fur-
nish every man, woman and child in
the country 88 cards each. If these
cards were laid end toend they would
reach around the earth more than eight
times.
In printing these cards twenty tons of
ink will be used and a car load of paper
boxes and a carload of lumber to pack
up the cards that are sent out every
month from the factory. One hundred
dollars a month is spent for perhaps the
smallest item of detail in connection
with the putting out of the cards. This
is what the paper bands cost which in-
close every bunch of twenty-five cards.
The card is to be 2} by 53 Inches
which will be the only size manufactur-
ed after October 1. It will be made
from a new steel plate furnished by the
Bureau of Engraving and printing at’
Washington. The front will bear a
likeness of Thomas Jefferson.
The cards cost the gevernment about
one third of a cent apiece ; or in other
words Uncle Sam makes a profit out of
his postal card traffic of over $2,000,000
in four years. . :

TCHING AND BURNING.
SURES ALL OVER HER BODY. SUFFER-
ING ENDLESS. DOCTOR USE-
LESS. CURED IN 4 WEEKS
BY CUTICURA.
Your most valuable Cuticura Remedies have
done my little girl so much good that I feel
like saying this for the benefit of those who
are troubled with skin diseases. She was
troubled with itching, burning sores, WhenI
took her to the doctor the first time, he called
it the Italian itch, and said he would cure her
in two weeks. When the two weeks were up,
he called it eczema, and in that time she was
worse than before. He doctored her for three
months, and she was so bad that we did not
know what to do. He did not do her any good.
I saw the advertisement of Cuticura Remedies
in the paper, and I said to my wife, “I am
going to try them.” Mind what I say, she was
so thick with sores that we had to soak her
clothes to take them off. Itch! there was no
end toit. She had it all over her body, back,
legs, arms, in between her fingers. She did
not have it on her head. But after taking your
Cuticura Remedies for two weeks the itch stop-
ped, and in four weeks the sores were all gone.
I enclose har portrait. 1 an: more than pleased
with your Cuticura Remedies, as they speedily
cured my daughter, and it anybody asks me
about your remedies, I will uphold them

be made in the large room, formerly occupied
by Harper Bros., on Spring street. It has been
added to my factory and will be used exclu-
sively for the sale of harness, being the first
exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom has been to sell
in the room in which they were made. This
sistant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
lesiner. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
We are prepared to offer better bargains in
the future than we have done in the past and
we want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
