Farm Notes.
— Turkeys should have an open shed
under which to roost. It they are
compelled to resort to the tree limbs
the result will be a loss from disease.
—Tuarnips should not be neglected
because they have nearly reached their
limit of growth, but the weeds should
be kept down, which will greatly facil
itate the harvesting of the crop when
such work is done.
—Many excellent animals are dis-
posed of because they are not profita-
ble when the fault is with the farmer,
who may not have allowed them an
opportunity of giving him a profit in-
stead of causing a loss.
—Tile drainage will sometimes ena-
ble the farmer to obtain a never failing
stream of water by gradually emptying
the water into some ditch or stream
that bas been dry for a portion of the
year, while the drainage of the soil will
also add to the yield of the crops.
—THave a place for every tool or
implement used on the farm, and store
it under shelter during the winter, first
giving the parts that are composed of
iron a coating of kerosene as a protec-
tion against rust, while the parts com-
posed of wood should he well rubbed
with linseed oil.
—1It is not so far off from Thanks.
giving, hence the turkeys need atten-
tion at this season. Those intended
for market should receive a meal at
the barnyard at night, and later on
they should receive food twice a day, so
as to have them in a fat condition
when the time arrives for their elaugh-
ter.
—An advantage may be secured in
using soapsuds on the lawn. Soap
suds are excellent on celery and aspar-
agus, and if no other place can be
found for dispbsing of them they will
be beneficial to the manure heap.
They are worth saving and should not
be thrown away on some location
where they may not be desired.
—The fodder cutter is one of the
most useful and important implements
on the farm. Itisnot used as much
as it should be, for it demands hard
work if there is no power to be obtain-
ed, but it will enable the farmer to use
a large amount of coarse food that is
usually wasted. The fodder cutter
should be kept in constant use during
the winter.
—Whether lightning rods are a pro-
tection or injury on the tarm is a sub-
ject worthy the attention of scientists.
There is a diversity of views on the
matter, and more light is needed by
those interested. Much depends on
the connections, as is known, but
whether the rods prevent lightning
from doing injury entirely or not is yet
to be settled.
—Canada ashes vary in value toa
greater extent than any other fertilizer.
Numerous analyses show that some
ashes are much richer in potash than
others, and their weight and fertilizing.
value depend upon many contingencies.
If weighed during very damp weather
the moisture absorbed from the atmos-
phere will add to the weight. The
cheaper way to purchase potash is to
buy the potash salts.
—Good breeds give good results cor-
responding with their treatment. A
shorthorn cow cannot be expected to
give a profit when she is turned out on
the hillsides, or on a closely cropped
pasture, to pick up her food, as she 18
not adapted to that kind of an exist-
ence. She thrives best, as do some
other breeds, only on luxuriant past
ures and on liberal rations, but she
will give good results from such better
treatment.
It is claimed for a crop of buckwheat
that it can be grown on the same land
every year without exhausting the soil.
The claim is correct go far as growing
buckwheat to be turned under is con-
cerned, but any crop that matures seed
exhausts thesoil to a certain extent,
and for that reason buckwheat should
be grown in rotation with other crops.
Onions are also grown on the same lo-
cation every year, but success is assuar-
ed with them only when the land is
heavily manured every year.
—1It is well known that in the late
fall, when the cows are taken from the |
pasture, and put upon dry food, there
is usually a shrinkage of the milk sup-
ply. This happens nearly always
when there is a complete change of
fcod. As frost may now appear at
any time it is better to begin with dry
food now, allowing a small quantity ate}
f¥rst, and gradually increasing the dry
ration so as to prepare the cows for
the change which will soon be necessa-
ry and which cannot be avoided.
—It is believed by some farmers
that no harm will be done wheat if the
cows graze on it for a short time after
the wheat is well on in growth, but as
there is always a liability of damage
when the ground is somewhat soft it
should be avoided.” The young plants
are very watery, and may cause loose-
ness of the bowels which way also
affect the flow of milk. Experiments
that have been made;in that direction
show that the wheat is in no manner
benefited by allowing cattle to graze
upon it.
— After experimentingithrough three
seasons to test the value of copper pre-
parations for the prevention of potato
rot, by Professor Liebscher, in Ger-
many, he found that by spraying the
vines with a 1} per cent, [solution of
Bordeaux mixture, using 30 gallons
_ per acre, and following with a 2 per
cent. olution four weeks later, at the
proportion of 50 gallons per acre, there
was some disease on the early crops,
but the disease did not appear on the
late crops, even when they were nct
sprayed. He considered his first epray-
ing as being too late and the second
gpraying as useless.
A Functionary Who Facilitates the
Movement of Road Traffic.
The sais isa runner who keeps in
front of a carriage and warns common
people out of tne way and who beats
them with a stick if they do not hurry
up aboutit. He is arelic of the days
when the traffic in all of the’ streets was
so congested that he wus an absolute
necessity ; now he males it possible for
a carriage to move forward at a trot,
which, without his aid it could not do.
Itis obvious that todo this he must
run swiftly. Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward and keep
their mouths closed in order to save
their wind, The sais runs with his
ghoulders thrown back and trumpeting
like an enraged elephant. He holds
his long wand at bis. side like a musket,
and not trailing in his hand likea
walkingstick, and he wears a soft shirt
of white stuff, and a sleeveless coat
buried in gold lace. His breeches are
white, and as voluminous as a woman’s
skirts ; they fall to a few inches above |
his knee ; the rest of his Jeg is bare,
and rigid with muscle. On his head he
has a fez with a long black tassel, and a
magnificent silk scarf of many colorsis
bound tightly around his waist. He is
a perfect ideal of color and movement,
and as he runs he bellows like a bull,
or roars as you have heard a lion roar
at feeding-time in a menagerie. Itis
not a human cry at all, and you never
hear it, even to the last day you stay in
Cairo, without a start, as though it
were a cry of “help” at night, or the
quick-clanging bell of a fire-engine.
There is nothing else in Cairo which
is so satisfying. There are sometimes
two of them running abreast, dressed
exactly alike, and with the upper part
of their bodies as rigid as the wand
pressed against their side, and with the
ends of their scarf and the long tassel
streaming out behind. As they yell
and bellow, donkeys and carriages and
peoplejscramble out of their way until
the carriage they precede has rolled
rapidly by. Only princesses of the
royal harem, and consuls-general, and
the heads of the army of occupation and
the Egyptian army are permitted two
sais ; other people may have one. They
appealed to me as much more autocratic
appendages than a troop of lifeguards.
The rastequaire who first introduces
them in Paris will make his name
known in a day, and alord mayor’s
show ora boxseaton a four-in-hand
will be a modest and middle-closs dis-
tinction in comparison. — Harper's

A Nice Tramp.
He Was Respectable and “Respectful and Could
Run a Lawn Mower.
“There was the nicest tramp along
here to-day,” said Mrs. Highland Parke
to husband at supper last night. ‘He
wasn’t a bit like ordinary tramps, all
dirty and with a lot of matted hair on
his face and a red nose and bleary eyes
and all that sort of thing. Of course,
his clothes weren’t very good, but he
was clean, and he was so polite.”
“What did he want?’ asked Mr.
Highland Parke, as he covered his tea
biscuit with honey.
“Something to eat, but he didn’t de-
mand it as his right, the way most of
those fellows do. He told me that he
had been out of work for a long time
and, on account of the stringency in the
money market and the scarcity of cur-
rency, he was unable to get a job. He
said he bad consumption—galloping
consumption—and he had a fearful
cough and while he was taiking to me
he took his hat off and used good gram-
mar and looked so pitiful that I offered
him a meal. He wouldn’t consent to
take it unless I would let him do some-
thing for it, and, even when I told him
that he was too weak to work, he insist-
ed on doing something. He asked me
if we didn’t want the lawn mowed, and,
when I said we did, he insisted on mow-
ing it. I watched for while and he did
a pretty good job, I guess.”
“Hum,” said Mr. Highland Parke,
as he spread more honey on another
tea biscuit, ‘‘he was an extraordinary
tramp. that’s a fact. I guess I'll go
out and see what sort of a job he did on
the lawn.”
In a few minutes Mr. Highland
Parke returned with an ominous look
on his face.
“He was, indeed, a very nice tramp,”
said he in a peculiar tone of voice.
“Why, Highland!” exclamed Mrs.
Parke, ‘what on earth is the matter?
Didn’t he cut the grass ?”’
“Qh, yes ; he cut the grass.”
“Well, don’t you think he was a
pretty nice sort of a tramp ?”’
“Must have been. He stole the lawn
mower.”’-—Buffalo Express.
A Word to Mothers.
Do not always be a drudge in your
own household. Rest a little when-
ever you can, and allow some of the
memt ers of your family to do some of the
work. Have a chair by the stove and
when you peep into the oven sit while
vou look, yea, even a moment after ;
you will work all the faster for the
short change of position. While mend-
ing have your chair in the coziest cor-
ner, where good light will come in,
and let the sun strike upon you, if pos-
gible, so that yon may get the strength-
ening, health-giving influence of it.
Drop your hands occasionally and let
them rest. Let your eyes wander out
through the window glass as far as pos-
sible and rest your eyes by looking at
something interesting out of doors.
Drop the reins of household govern:
ment for a little while, unbend your-
selt, and sit down on the rug and play
with the children, and, as it were, be-
come again a child. Economize your
strength, Sit when you cau. Do not
bold the haby when it can rest and
grow just as well in its erib. By rest-
ing when you can, by planning the
work to be done, and by being system-
atic and orderly in all things, a4 wom- |
an’s work is more easily done.—N, 7. |

Refused to Naturalize Hugh Ross,
Pir1sBURG, Sept. 12,—A sensational
echo of the Homestead strike was
heard in the United States district
court yesterday. Judge Buffington
refused to naturaiize Hugh Ross, 8
native of Scotlavd, because he had
been a nfember of the famous and so-
called treasonable advisory committee
of strikers, of which Hugh O'Donnell
was chairman. Indictments charging
Ross with murder, treacon, riot and
conspiracy are still pending. The
decision affects hundreds of unnatura-
lized Homesteaders.

I have suffered with Eczema (Salt Rheum),
for about four years, all over my face, princi-

made me half crazy attimes. I tried about
half a dozen doctors, among whom was a
specialist on skin diseases, but he, like all
the others, only gave me temporary relief. I
then concluded to try your Cuticura Remedies
after being advised todo so by a great num-
ber of my friends. After using one set I could
see a great change for the better, and after
using three sets I iound myself completely
cured. I feel myself cured as I have not seen
a particle of its return. GOE. A. LOWE,
