Farm Notes.
—The roots of the flat pea are said
to be sometimes thirty feet long.
—Mushrooms do not grow unless
they are planted and well cared for.
—This is your time and your oppor-
tunity for repairing gates and fences.
—1It is said that the biggest hog at
the World's Fair never ate a grain of
corn.
—Wounds caused by pruning will
not produce decay in the fall of the
year.
—Trees need looking after as soon
as they begin growing, just like small
fruits.
—Butter ought to be at a tempera.
ture of about sixty degrees, when it is
being worked.
—The best of butter may be disgrac-
ed, no matter how carefully it is manu-
factured, by slovenly packing.
—A correspondent writes that he be-
lieves in keeping the cow at the pail
practically without intermission. We
believe that a cow will give more milk
during a year if allowed to rest a month
or two.
—Profit is obtained, in the first place,
by producing the food at less than the
market price, and selling it through
the cow, at the same time saving a
large portion of its fertilizing value to
the farm.
—1In arranging a poultry house the
roosts may be owitted altogether or
should be very low. High roosts com-
* pel the fowl to jump off at the risk of
injury, and at night, when getting on
the roosts, the heavy fowls are some-
times crowded off. High roosts are un-
necessary, and as roosts provide harbor-
ing places for lice they may dispensed
with and the fowls provided with straw
which should be cleaned away every
day or two.
—Rape, while highly praised as cow
feed, is exhausting to the soil. But
that is readily overcome by the appli-
cation of manure. Some do not like to
have them on the land. They are
good for swine. Good soil will grow as
much as 100 bushels tothe acre. They
are planted either in spring or in the
fall at any time before the ground
freezes. They are planted and culti-
vated like potatoes. Cattle as well as
hogs eat them.
—Choosing Seed Corn.—The largest
ears are not always the best, though
large-sized ears are necessary to a
large yield of first-class corn. The
point is to select the finest. Long,
straight ears with small cob and but
little larger where it joins the stalk,
are the ones to be chosen in the North
and Fast, but in the West the large,
deep-grained ears are to be preferred
with reference to the size of the cob.
Corn that is ripened under favorable
conditions will be filled out to the tips,
and experiments have proven that these
produce stronger plants than those com-
pressed and flattened in the middle.
The corn must be dried and husked
and placed where it will remain dry
and where mice and rats cannot reach
it. Severe freezing will not hart dry
corn.
—Many experiments have been made
under different couditions to show the
advantages of pruning the grape where
a proper medium is observed between
too light pruning and excessive cutting
away, We have seen a vineyard ruin-
ed iu a single season by cutting away
nearly all the bearing shoots, the mis:
taken notion being held that they
would ripen better by letting in the
eunlight. The leaves being mostly cut
off the remainder nearly starved the
fruit. The Missouri experiment sta-
tion tried pruning different degrees of
the vines. The vines were pruned trom
one bud ounly to six buds, one portion
not being pruned at all. Another part
of the vineyard was allowed to grow
four canes from the root, which were
pruned to three feet long. The fruit
subsequently reached its full size. The
grapes which were pruned to one and
two eyes had well-filled bunches, the
berries being one-third larger than on
the unpruned vines. The rot was
much worse on the unpraned. There
are fully four times as much rot in the
unsprayed vines as in those that have
been sprayed.
—Cattle frequently become choked
by attempting to swallow a whole po-
tato, turnip or apple, and unless discov-
ered in time, death often ensues, and
the attempt to remove the obstruction
is often a failure. If the obstruction
can be felt part way down the throat,
one man should grasp the gullet and
windpipe firmly below where the arti-
cle is lodged. Another person should
run a fork or rake handle, having the
end blunt-pointed like a four-sided pyra-
mid, down the animal's throat and
gently strike the obstruction, each
time giving the stick a quarter turn
that the obstruction may be broken.
After a dozen strokes press hard on the
obstruction, gently turning the stick
around in both directions ; remove it,
and if you find small pieces in a hole
bored near the point of the stick, pro-
ceed as before. It will take but a mo-
ment to make a hole through even a
hard apple. When this is done, the
choking is greatly relieved. The ob-
struction may be crushed by heavy out:
ward pressure on the windpipe, or by
giving a dose of ‘melted lard, or cotton
seed oil. Should the _bstruction be
far down toward the stomach, it is best
to break it up or make a hole through
it before trying to force itinto the stom-
ach, as the latter often takes a heavy
pressure to do this, and pressing so
hard may cause internal injury. It
will be observed that the form of the
stick prevents any injury to the wind:
pipe.
A Few Hints for Christmas
A very preity and useful little pres-
ent,” says Harper's Young People, ‘‘is
a lace-pin case, and this is the way to
make it : Get one-quarter yard of rib-
bon, one and a balf inches wide, one-
half yard of loop-edged ribbon, such as
is used for ruching in dresses, and a
yard of baby-ribbon, ali to match. Also
a piece of China silk or crepe de Chine
to line the case with. Cut the wide
ribbon in half, divide the loop-edged
ribbon down the centre, thus making
two edges. Cut a piece of the China
silk the sume size, allowing for good
turnings in after inserting the edged
ribbon to form a sort of border, baste
along one side. Then insert cotton
wadding, sprinkled with sachet powder,
and sew them together.
On the other piece of wide ribbon
embroider ‘Lace Pins” in fancy letters,
and make the same as the first mention-
ed. This is the top. Fasten with bows
of baby ribbon at each end, leaving one
end able to be opened. The pins are
stuck in the china silk.
Another easy yet pretty and useful
thing to make is a crocheted handker-
chief. case. Crochet a chain whatever
you may wish the width of the case to
be, and make a row of shells — two
stitches in a hole, then skip one, and so
on. The next row place the shells be-
tween the other shells, and continue this
until it is long enough to double over,
with the two ends meeting in the centre
of the top. Then sew the edges to-
gether, and crochet a fancy border
around the sides of the case and down
the opening.
An embroidery silk case can be made
of felt. Cut a piece of dark-colored felt
the size you wish the case to be. Seal-
lop the edges, and embroider *‘Silks”’ at
the top. Then cut another piece the
same length as the case is wide, and
wide enough to hold the skeins in place,
and feather- stitch it on with a bright
colored silk in rows of about an inch
apart. Slip a couple of skeins of silk in
the pockets, and that is finished.
A pretty handkerchief-case is made of
an embroidered linen handkerchief.
One, for instance, with hemstitched bor-
der and forget-me-nots around it. Join
the corners ip the centre as if making an
envelope. Feather-stitch the others to-
gether, and make a row of feather-
stitching along each side of the flap, and
fasten a rosette of ribbon at the point.
The Pennsylvania’s Mileage.
A Pennsylvania lines official gives
some interesting late figures regarding
the Pennsylvania system. He ob-
tained them from Chief Engineer
Brown, of the Pennsylvania railroad
company, According to that gentle-
man, the total mileage of the system,
which includes, of course, all lines east
and west of Pittsburg, is now 9,000
miles. This is a vast amount, and
this statement is readily apparent
when it is considered that the mileage
is almoet sufficient to make a triple
track from New York to San Francis-
co. In a straight line of single track
it would reach more than a third of the
distance round the globe, and if by
some magical process, the 9,000 miles |
of rail-bed could be driven through the
earth nearly 500 miles would stick out
in the antipodes and on this side as
well. Nearly every mile of the track-
age is in first-class repair, being finely
ballasted according to the Pennsylva.
nia’s standard. The majority of the
rails weigh eighty-five pounds to the
yard, although there is much ninety-
pound rail in use, and some one hun-
dred pound, there being for instance,
about five miles of the latter
weight on the Pittsburg division.
There are only, at most, two or three
railroads in the country with greater
mileage than that of the Pennsylvania,
one being the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, with something over 12,000
miles to its credit. The greater part
of this great mileage, however, runs
through the west, a section of country
but sparsely populated as compared
wich the teeming eastern portion of
the continent.
Previes vs. Grants.—Lilliputian as
they are in size (being no larger than
mustard seeds,) they achieve results
that their Brobdingnagian opponents
utterly fail in. We refer to the efficacy
of the powerful preparation known as
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, compared
with that of their gigantic competitors,
the old style pill.
when dyspepsia, liver complaint, consti-
pation, biliouspess, or any kindred 1lls
assail you, and you'll make no mistake
—they’ll disappear at once.
——Mrs. Mary T. Marsh of Siaats-
burg, N,Y., left an estate of $1,000,000.
Among the bequests were $10,000 to
the Porier academy, Charleston ;
$10,000 to Bellevue hospital, New
York, and $10,000 to the Louise Home,
Weshington. The residue of the es-
tate goes to Grace church, New York,
to build a hospital for the poor of the
parish.
CURE For HEADACHE.--As a remedy
for all forms of Headache Electric Bit-
ters has proved to be the very best. It
effects a permanent cure and the most
dreaded habitual sick headaches yield to
its influence. We urgeall who are af-
flicted to procure a bottle, and give this
remedy a fair trial. In cases of habit-
ual constipation Electric Bitters cures
by giving the needed tone to the bowels,
and few cases long resist the use of this
medicine. Try it once. Large bottles

When about seven years old, my son was
afflicted with a skin disease which was very
distressing. The first appearance was of little
pimples accompanied 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. 1 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.

consider it a remarkable cure, as he had inher-
ited scrofulous humor.

CASTORIA.
“Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil-
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.”
Dr. G. C. Oscoop,
Lowell, Mass.
“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.”

“Our physicians in the children’s depart-
ment have spoken highly of their experience
in their outside practice with Castoria, and
although we only have among our medical
supplies what is known as regular product,
yet we are free to confess that the merits of
Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it,
