Farm Notes.
—Every farm should have a well-
kept lawn and flower garden. It costs
little work and less money, and will be
a source of joy to all.
—XKeep the poultry house clean and
in good sanitary condition. Otherwise
there is no profit in the business, for
loss by disease overbalances the in-
come.
—It 1s not the old tool or machine
that deserves to be thrown away, but
the wornout one; and it may not be in
the last state, even if old ; it all de-
pends on the care it has received.
—If you desire large strawberries in
the spring use fine manure on them
and chop it into the top soil between
the rows. You cannot use too much
manure on strawberry vines at this
season.
—The well-know purslane, one of the
most persistent weeds that infests
farms, is said to produce more seeds
than any other plant one pod contain-
ing 3000 seeds, while each plant will
produce 20 or more pods.
—Fences are a necessary evil, to be
dispensed with if possible, and to be
made as inconspicuous as poseible if
you must have them. No dooryard
was ever inclosed with a paling fence
without marring its beauty.
—At this season and in the spring,
farmers will receive many flattering in-
dorsements of new varieties of vegeta-
bles and fruits, Some of them will be
really meritorious, but 1t is better to
test all new varieties in a limited way
before relying upon them exclusively.
—Ducks lay more eggsin a year
than do hens, but they perform the
greater share of their work from Janu-
ary to July, ata season of the year
when eggs are low in price, but it may
be said in their favor that the cost of
keeping ducks is very little in summer
if they have the run of a pasture.
—Manure is as much a crop as any-
thing else, and really the most import-
ant one. The farmer who gives his
manure extra attention will not fail to
manage properly in other departments
of the farm. The manure beap is the
riches of the farm that have been un-
sold, and which are to be converted in-
to readily salable products next season.
~—Diseage in the milk does not al-
ways come from filthy caus or the wa-
ter added as an adulterant, but some-
times from the condition of the cow.
Many herds are compelled to drink
stagnant water from pools in the fields,
and often they have no water at all
other than the quantity they receive
before going to and after returning
from the pasture.
—At least a year in the growth of
beef cattle has been gained during the
past 15 years, and the credit of this
belongs exclusively to the pure breeds.
A year’s gain of time means a lessen-
ing of the expenses for a whole year
and a greater consequent profit. Those
who do not believe that the breed is
anything to consider should keep this
fact in view and abandon scrubs.
—If manure is to be exposed to the
leaching of the rains it is best to haul
it out on the fields aud spread it, pro-
vided the land is not subject to wash-
ing from heavy rains. It is better to
have it exposed on the land, especially
if the land has been plowed, where the
soluble matter will be carried down
into the soil than to have it flow away
in a black stream from the barnyard.
—Early maturity is of great advan-
tage in animale. The sheep, hog or
steer that gains the same weight in
one-half of the time required by anoth-
er animal saves cost of labor, food and
shelter. The breed is the foundation
upon which these advantages may be
secured. The cow that is well bred
not only produces largely of milk, but
her offspring will grow more rapidly
and mature earlier than scrubs.
— Weeds that were cut down before
the seeds matured can be made to
perform excellent service as a mulch.
Ifthe trees are mulched for four or
five feet around the trunks with
enough weeds to form a close mulch
the roots will be protected from ex-
treme cold and the trees will thrive
better, as the mulch, if applied now,
will prevent the soil around young
trees from drying out too rapidly.
—DBecause the average number of
bushels of wheat annually produced on
the farm has been reduced it is not a
sure indication that the farm has Jost
all of its fertility. The soil may no
lcnger be adapted for wheat, but may
be capable of producing clover or some
other crop. When the average ofa
crop falls off, especially it the crop has
been grown on the same ground
repeatedly, a rotation of crops may
make a change.
—Hops are not grown extensively
as a crap in this section, though a few
vines are grown on many farms. In
the hop growicg districts the young
vines (which spring up at the base ot
the parent vine) are set out in the
' spring, allowing room for cultivation
both ways between the plants, or about
the same as check rows for corn.
They bear some the first year, and the
vines live for many years if free from
disease and parasites, the hop house
being very destructive. Poles are re-
quired, and the picking is done by
band. They are grown mostly in
New York, New England, Oregon and
Washinghton, being sold to commis
sion men, who have appliances for bal-
ing, local markets being near. The
cost per acre depends on the facilities
for procuring poles and the prices for
voung plants. Any rich soil will an-
swer. The hops must be picked before
frost.

The Closing Days of the World's Col-
umbian Exposition — Last Low-rate
Excursion via Pennsylvanis
Railroad.
This is the last month of the great
Columbian Exposition, an American
exhibition which eclipses the efforts of
all nations, past and present—and Sat.
urday, the 21st, marks the end of the
popular low-rate coach excursions of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
to the World’s Fair City. The exten-
sive patronage bestowed on all previous
trips of this character and the universal
verdict of former participants that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company car-
ries by far the greatest number and the
best class of people, thoroughly attest
the genuine worth of the facilities to be
enjoyed on this route. These facts,
coupled with the fortunate and entire
immunity from accident of any kind
thus far, and the completeness and dis-
patch with which this traffic has been
bandled, place the Standard Railroad in
the enviable position which it proudly
claims—of being the best, safest, and
quickest route to the West. "
All who can do so are advised to visit
this stupendous show, as it is highly im-
probable that another of its immense
magnitude will be seen by the people of
this generation, and the enormous mul-
titude of wonderful and awe-inspiring
sights collected there must be seen to be
appreciated.
The remarkable rate of $18 from New
York and $17 from Philadelphia, Balti-
more, and Washington, and correspond-
ingly low rates from other points on the
vast system will apply for the last time
on the date above mentioned. The ex-
cursion will start from New York at
9.00 and Philadelphia at 11.30 A. M.
A section will leave Washington at 10.-
15 and Baltimore At 11.10 a. m., con-
necting with the regular sections at
Harrisburg. Tickets will also be sold
from principal intermediate stations,
passengers from stations not located on
the main line taking regular trains to
nearest point of connection with the
special.
Candles.
Many Still Used for Various Special Purposcs-
The domestic use of candles for ordin-
ary purposes of illumination has almost
entirely ceased ; oil has taken the place
of them, but a great many candles are
still used for various special purposes.
Candles are used to go down cellar with,
and for servants’ bed room lights. They
are used in breweries, in the vats, be-
cause they don’t smoke, and they make
less heat. Candles are used in some
mines. Almost all carriage lamps are
lighted with candles.
There is a large consumption of cand-
les by Hebrews in the observance of re-
ligious rites at home, and they are used
also in the synagogues. Plumbers use
candles about their work, because they
are handier and safer. Candles are
used for the illumination of political
transparencies. They are used on din-
ner tables and in drawing rooms; they
are made for these uses in various col-
ors. There are at least ten kinds of
Christmas candles ; they are made plain,
ribbed or fluted, and cable, and in var-
ious colors.
The candles for these various special
uses are made chiefly of stearine, paraf-
fine and wax. The consumption of them
in the United States shows a slight in-
crease. We export candles to Mexico,
Central America and South America.
There were formally manufactories of
tallow candles; there are now few and
the trade is decreasing. Scarcely any
tallow candles are now used in this
country ; those made are shipped to

A Stone in His Lund,
Very Curious Casein the Charity Hospital at
Norristown.
Norristown, Oct. 13.—Local physi-
cians are preparing to perform the op
eration of thoracotomy upon Onofrio
Morrilloa, an Italian laborer, who has
been lying at the Charity Hospital tor
seven weeks with a stone in his feft
lung. Morrilloa’s case is considered
one of the most curious ever developed
in medical circles in this vicinity.
He was employed at McCoy's quar-
ries, near Bridgeport, and on August
23 a premature explosion of dynamite
drove a small stone about the size of a
silver quarter between the third and
fourth ribs into the left lung.
The wound continues to discharge,
but, as the point where the stone is
lodged is below the orifice in the skin,
the discharges have occasioned no lit-
tle inconvenience and suffering, and
with the hope of saving the Italian’s
life, it was decided to make an opening
through the thorax, making the incis-
ion dependent, between the eighth and
ninth ribs, through which the pus
might discharge by gravitation.
——Holland is the land of flatness,
windmills, dykes, canals and cheese.
Of the later they produce 40,000 tons
more ina year, and consume only a
fourth part. Alkmaar, one of the most
noted and historical towns in the coun-
try, is the great cheese market, and in
its streets over 12,000,000 pounds are
sold annually.
——1In the Cascade Mountains is the
Great Sunken lake, the most deeply
sunken lake in the world. Itis fifteen
miles long and four and a half wide. It
is 2,000 feet down to the surface of the'
water, but the depth of the water is un-
known.
~The temple of Ypsambul, in
Nubia, is cut from a solid rock, and its
entrance is guarded by four statues, six-
ty-five feet high, twenty-five feet across
the shoulders, the face seven feet long,
the ear over three feet.

I have suffered with Eczema (Salt Rheum),
for about four years, all over my face, princi-
pally on my forehead, it being so bad that it
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 to do so by a great num-
ber of my frierds. After using one set I could
see a great change for the better, and afier
using three sets I found myself completely
cured, I feel myself cured as I have not seen
a particle of its return. GOE. A. LOWE,

I had been suffering with Erysipelas for
several years. It would appear during August

face became very sore and my eyes were af-

can safely say Iam cured.
