Farm Notes.
—A great deal of fuel can be saved
by tightening up the windows and put-
ting weather strips on the doors.
—DPotatoes and onions are crops
which on the average will” yield good
returng, if proverly planted,” cultivated
and marketed.
—The New Jersey Experiment Sta-
tion says that cotton seed meal has a
fertilizer value of $26.16 per ton ; meat
scraps, $35.69 per ton.
—Get a butter print and stamp your
name on the butter cakes that are sent
to market. If vou make first class
batter your brand will be sought after.
—An Easton tarmer who has been
feeding wheat says that two quarts of
wheat are equal in feeding value to
four quarts of oats, and stock like it
better.
—An extensive Missouri farmer says
he has about come to the conclusion
that Professor Sanborn was right when
he said that corn fodder, if properly
handled, 1s worth about as much as the
grain.
—The Michigan Farmer says that
unrendered beef tallow chopped into
very small pieces and fed once in two
or three days with other feed puts a
fine gloss oa the plumage of show
birds. :
—The rhubarb and asparagus beds
should be well manured now, so that
the fertility can be sinking down to
the roots as the snows of winter melt
into the soil. The more generous you
are with the manure the more profita-
ble will you find these items of your
garden.
—Heavy feeding pays, says a bullet-
in of the Wisconsin station. A cow
producing a full flow of milk should re-
cetve over 40 per cent. more food than
is required for the maintenance of her
body. It is the excess beyond mainte-
nance that brings profit to the feeder.
—It is claimed that medium-weight
hogs are the most profitable to grow.
They mature between two winters, and
80 require the least grain for finishing
oft. After a hog has passed 250
pounds, it is very doubtful if the aver-
age teeder can pat another ounce on
him with any profit.
—A Michigan fruit grower stored
some apples in barrels lined with news.
papers. He opened barrels that had
been packed for a long time, and found
that in those unlined more or less of
the fruit was decayed, while in paper
lined barrels every apple was sound
and in fine condition.
—A Southern fruit grower says he
keeps the rabbits from his trees by an
application of soft soap thinned to the
consistency of buttermilk, one gallon;
of coal tar, one pint; enough Venetian
red, dry, to thicken to the consistency
of paint. He applied with an old paint
brush from the collar to the first limb.
—There is no good argument against
fattening hogs in a pen, if the pen is in
the hands of the right man. It must
be large enough to afford some room
for exercise, must be kept clean, it
must be frequently littered with fresh
leaves, straw, etc., to absorb the moist
ure, and there must be a good variety
of tood.
—Fertility tends to make fertility.
Good crops fed from the land, ted to
good stock upon the land, and the by-
products returned to the land with due
care, will make better land, bigger
crops, and enable the feeding of more
stock. Then you have more manure
again, and the same round goes on and
grows more money as it does so.
—An experienced horseman says
there is no better test of a stallion’s
potency than the regularity with
which his foals breed after him in col-
or, and while there is never a certainty
it is well established that a horse
whose individuality is so strong that
be creates a family type will also fix
the color with great uniformity.
—An Eastern farmer says that for
seven years 23 acres of grain has aver-
aged $20 per acre. His fruit products
for the same time have brought him a
sum total of $2016, or an average of
$36, which is nearly all net profit, for
out of the grain must come the expense
of preparing land for sowing, seed, fer-
tilizers, binding twine, costly machin-
ery, thresher’s bills, ete.
—There is one thing that must be
avoided in buying a run-down farm.
That is, the effort to make it yield
good crops at once, and to improve in
condition while doing it. Such a
course will only make the land poorer.
Be content to do one thing at a time,
and let the first be the building up of
the soil. Then the good crops will
come in their own good time.
—The Texas Farm and Ranch
thinks that dairying as a side issue
never does the subject justice. To
make a complete success of this branch
of agriculture, the entire energy of the
farm and farmer should be directed to
the one object of making the largest
amount of first-class dairy products, at
the least possible cost. Whoever does
this intelligently will not fail.
—There are few farmers who would
burn corn, oats, or other grain in a
stove to keep animals warm in the win-
ter. It is much like this, however,
when stock is exposed to cold and
grain is fed to keep it warm. The
grain is then burned for heat just as
truly as if it were put in a furnace. It
has the advantage, however, of being
burned inside the animal, where the
heat it furnishes is least subject to
waste.

The Nineteenth Century.
No century since the world began
has surpassed the 19th in the general
development of ideas and institutions ;
no other has equaled 1t in mechanical
and scientific progress. It has pre-
pared a rich and noble heritage for the
coming age, and the year 1900 will be
immensely in advance of 1800 in all
that tends to the comfort, convenience,
knowledge, peace and prosperity of
mankind. The 20th century will be-
gin its labors at a high level and with
wonderfully developed materials and
tools. Will it bring the elusive gift of
happiness to mankind? All we can
say as to this is that it will be free
from many of the sources of misery
which afflicted man in the generations
of the past. What new ones may be
developed it remains for time to tell.

there was a decrease in valuation of
$58,449,177, and these are census figures.

glaring oversights.

HAT CAUSES PIMPLES?
Clogging of the pores or mouths
of the sebaceous glands with sebum
or oily matter.
The plug of sebum in the centre
of the pimple is called a blackhead
grub, or comedone.
Nature will not allow the clogging
of the pores to continue long,hence.
luflammation, pain, swelling and
redness, latter pus or matter forms,
breaks or is opened, the plug comes
out and the pore is once more free. l
There are thousands of these |
pores in the face alone, any one of
which is Liable t» becon.e clogged
by neglect or disease.
WHAT CURES PIMPLES?
The only reliable preventive and
cure, when not due to a constitu
tional humor, is
CUTICURA SOAP.
It contains a mild proportion of
CUI'ICURA, the great Skin Cure,
which enables it to dissolve the
sebaceous or vily matter as it forms
at thie mouths of the pores,
It stimulates the sluggish glands
and tie tubes to healthy activity,
reduces inflammation, soothes and
heals irritated and roughened sur-
faces and restores the skin to its
original purity.
This is the secret of its wonderful
success.
For bad complexions, red, rough
hands and shapeless nails, dry,
thin and falling hair, sealy and
irritated scalps and simple baby
blemishes it is wonderful.
It is preserving, puiitying and
beautifying to a degree hitherto
unknown among remedies for the
skin and complexion

ion soaps.

“Castoria is an excellent medicine for chii-
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.”

I recommed it as superior to any prescription
known to me.”

“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,
