Farm Notes.
—Sell your straw to your cattle by
giving them better bedding than before.
They will repay you with increased
weight of beef or more milk and but-
ter.
—1If your butter seems likely to spoil
immerse the vessel which contains it
in cold lime water, and keep it there
until the sweetness of the butter is re-
stored.
— Under no circumstances allow wa-
ter to stand near a well. Grade around
the well, have it covered, and make
drains to conduct waste water away
rapidly. .
The removing of the corn tassels, as
a means for increasing the crop, does
not seem to be obtaining much favor.
It was a very pretty theory, but had its
beginning and ending with the scien-
tists.
—Spread manure around the rasp-
berrry canes. It will serve as a mulch,
and the rains will carry the plant food
down where the roots will secure it in
the spring. This plan will give large
berries next season.
—Sugar beets make an excellent
feed for the hogs. So you may experi-
ment to find if you can grow beets that
will make good sugar and not waste
your crop or time while you are doing
it. The hogs will pay you for them.
— Late plowing will kill the cutworm
and many other sects. Cold does not
injure insects in the ground. It is the
exposure to cold warmth and dampness
that destroys them. Late plowing
brings them to the surface, and renders
them liable to destruction.
—If an orchard is to be arranged on
god land the ground should be plowed
and cut up with a dise harrow. When
young trees are planted in grass land
that has not been well prepared they
do not thrive. The land must be kept
clean for the first two or three years.
—To teed thoroughly well through
the winter is a positive economy, pro-
vided that you feed the right kind of
stock. Animals kept through the
cold weather on short rations will be
worth less in the spring than they are
now. They will bave nothing to pay
you for their keep.
—1In the closing weeks of the cow
test at Chicago the Jerseys are credited
with an average of 1.82 pounds of but-
ter per day, the Guernseys with 1.78,
and the Shorthorns with 1.44. It.will
be noticed that none of the cowsreach-
ed as much as two pounds of butter
per day.
—The best way to keep manureis on
a freshly plowed field. The rains soak it
in, the valuable substances will go
down into the soil, and the work of
spreading may be done at this season.
The saving of labor, and the exposure
of the manure on the ground will be
advantageous next season.
— Where horse breeding is carried
on upon the farm, as an adjunct to the
other branches of work, it will usually
pay to turn the colts off at about three
years. After this the expense of feed-
ing rapidly increases, and they need a
good deal of time and attention. The
best profit Has accrued before reaching
this age.
_ —A specialty in stock keeping is all
right after you have thoroughly
learned the business of handlingthem.
But uatil you have done that, it is wise
to keep stock asan adjunct to the busi-
ness of general farming, and to keep as
much of a variety as you can, go as to
utilize in the best way the products of
your land.
—As a defence of the merino, it is
claimed that they can be keptin larger
flocks that can be the larger breeds of
sheep, and that ou the hillsides and on
mountain land, the large mutton breeds
are not applicable. The Southdown,
however, can rival the Merino. Itis
pot as large as some mutton breeds,
but is superior to all others for quality
of flesh.
—DMaulch the strawberries and keep
them covered until spring, so as to pre-
vent the frost from throwing the plants
out of the ground. The object of
mulching is bot so much to keep the
plants warm as to prevent alternate
freezing and thawing of the soil. Real-
ly, the use of a mulch is to keep the
ground cold, especially when the tem-
perature of the atmosphere is above the
freezing point,
—Young trees that have their roots
bruised, or injured in any manner,
should be carefully trimmed, cutting
away the injured roots, and also short:
ening the branches to correspond with
the loss of roots. The trees may be
planted at any time during the fall or
gpring. Theuse of a mulch around
each tree during the winter will aid in
protecting them against sudden changes
of temperature.
—When sheep are compelled to work
for a living they may save food, but
they will not gain in flesh. It is well
enough to allow sheep to seek their
food when something is growing, but
after the winter sets in, the flock will
not find enough food to keep the mem-
bers in condition. Hundreds of flocks
are kept in the woods and on hillsides
without aid from their owners, but such
sheep do not pay.
—Cut your scions now and stick the
butt end of each in a potato, which
will supply all the moisture needed.
Place them on a shelf, in a cellar, and
they will be ready for use in the
spring. Label each. so as to know the
variety of tree from which it is taken.
Any mistake in a label may cause
many others, as scions from young
trees may be used before fruit appears,
thus distributing some variety other
than the one desired.
India’s Millions.
They Are Second in Numbers Only to Those of
China.
One of the great wonders of the mod-
ern world is the supremacy which
Great Britain has acquired over the
people ot India, who are second in
numbers only to the population of Chi-
na, and tar outnumber any other na-
tion in the world. Not only are they
held in subjection -by a comparative
handful of British troops, but they con-
tribute a native army for the mante-
nance of British power in India. This
wonderful state of things is due; says
the Boston Journal, not merely to Brit-
ish military courage and ekill, but
largely also to wisdom and executive
ability of the officials charged with the
gdministration of civil affairs in the
country. Rome in her best days never
showed more audacity and skill. En-
glish methods in law and government
have won the confidence of the people
to a remarkable degree. Some idea of
the magnitude of the task which Eng
land has in the management of her
magnificent possession may be ob:
tained from the figures given by the
census taken in 1881, which presents
some very interesting and significant
facts. d .
It appears from this enumeration
that tbe British Indian empire com-
prises 1,500,000 equare miles, and in
1891 had a population of 287,000,000.
The males exceed the females by 6,000.
In 10 years the inhabitants increased
34,000,000. Contrary to the condition
of things among the western nations,
the town population is only 93 per
cent of the whole. The ancient Brah-
manic religious belief still counts
211,000,000 adherents. The Buddhists
number 7,000,000. The followers of
Mohammed count up 57,000,000. The
ancient pagan Or native worshipers
number 9,000,000, and there are 90,000
who follow the faith of Zoroaster.
The Christians number 2,260,000.
The people of India are not long-lived.
Ot this immense multitude only
15,000,000 reach the age of 60. The
illiterate comprise 274,000,000 of the
population.

and has never been known to fail. If
given freely as soon as the croupy cough
appears it will prevent the attack. Itis

Oldest Water Works.
They Are to Be Found in the Ancient City of
Damascus.
A recent work on sanitary engineer-
ing says that Damascus possesses, in all
probability, the oldest water works in
the world. The city itself is the most
ancient of existing cities, having seen
the rise and fall of the Greek and Ro-
man empires, of Babylon, Nineveh,
Palmyra and Jerusalem. When taken
by the Saracens from the Romans the
water works already existed, and it is
probable that the latter constructed the
works, which still exist and supply the
town.
Damascus lies in a valley on the Riv-
er Abana, which flows from the Leban-
non hills and is lost in the desert to the
east of the town. In spite of a copious
supply of excellent water, Damascus has
had no immunity from epidemics, own-
ing to the fact that the double canaliza-
tion for water supply and drainage,
being more or less leaky saturated the
soil and raised the spring level nearly to
the surface, and the sewers are rarely if
ever cleaned, are not systematically
ventilated, and they pass under many
of the houses. It is not surprising,
therefore, that Damascus is and always
has been an insalubrious town.

Nevember Days.
Noyember is a month o f rainy, disagreeable
days. The damp, cold air penetrates every-
where and chills the blood, laying the system
open to the danger of colds, pneumonia and
kindred complaints. There isbut one remedy
(hat stimulates the system and fortifies it
against such attacks, and that is whiskey.
Notsuch a whiskey as is generally palmed off
on the public,but a whiskey of known purity and
quality. Such a whiskey is Klein's Silver Age
Duquesne or Bear Creek Ryes. These whis-
kies have been before the public for many
years and find favor wherever purity is re-
quired. Physicians prescribe them ; hospitals
use them, and every reputable dealer sells
them.

DIES.
When about seven years old, my son was
afflicted with a skin disease which was very
distressing. The first appearance was of little
pimples accompaniéd by intense itching, soon
spreading into sores covered with scabs, ex-
cept when scratched off. The entire body, ex-
cept head, was covered. He almost lost the
use of his limbs, and was so light I could car-
ry him about like an infant. Used all reme-
dies I could find recommend in medical works
for itching without benefit. Applied to differ-
ent physicians, receiving temporary relief, but
the disease was sure to return. I sent for
your pamphlet, read it, purchased a set of
Cuticura Remedies. | anointed him with the
Cuticura, bathing with the Cuticura Soap, and
gave small doses of Cuticura Resolvent. Oh,
the soothing effect of that Cuticura! After
two years’ search for something to allay that
terrible itching, what a relief to see him sleep
sweetly without any inclination to scratch.
Less than two boxes of Cuticura, one cake
Cuticura Soap, and one bottle of the Cuticura
Resolvent, performed a cure, with no returns.
Is now a strong, healthy boy of thirteen We
consider it a remarkable cure, as he had inher-
ited serofulous humor.

«Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in-
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”
