Farm Notes.
—This is the season when the brush
will prove beneficial, if used on the
hide of the cow. Itisas important to
keep her clean as itis to groom the
horse.
—If you sow clover this spring see
that the seed is clean, or your clover
field will produce more weeds than
clover plants. Sow the seed as early as
possible.
—1It is better to trim grapevines in
cold weather. If such work is post
poned until the sap begins to flow the
vines may then be injured by cutting
them back severely.
—Feeding experiments, this summer,
at the stations should be made with
the pasture, using but litile grain. The
results would be of great value to farm-
ers who use pasture entirely in sum-
mer.
—Grapes may be grown on the
smallest farm, if even but a single vine
is allowed. The vine is ornamental,
affords shade, can be used for an arbor,
and a large amount of fruit may be ob-
tained.
—When the hens begin to lay eggs
of unusual size, such as double yolk
eggs, it indicates that they have been
overfed and are too fat, Insuch cases,
the grain ration wust be reduced, and
more green food and meet should be al-
lowed.
—Though the weather may be cold,
now it will be but a few weeks before
plowing may be done. Onions are
frequently grown from sets that are
planted in March, and the early pota-
toes may be put in the ground as soon
as it can be plowed.
—Labor may be costly or not accord-
ing to its application. It will cost as
much to make a pound of poor butter
as it will make a good article. Butter
from a cow that produces but three
pounds a week will be twice as expen-
sive as that from a cow which produces
six pounds in the same period of
time.
—For onioas, use equal portions of
superphosphate, muriate of potash and
nitrate of soda, of any quantity desired,
according to the fertility of the soil.
As such a crop requires rich ground,
it is better to use too much rather than
too little ot the fertilizer. From 500 to
1000 pounds of the mixed fertilizer per
acre may be applied if a large yield of
onions is expected.
—One of the advantages of good
roads is the increased value added to
the farms. No real estate agent would
attempt to sell a farm at this season of
the year, whear the road is unfit for
travel, but would wait until summer.
A road should be suitable at all sea-
sons. The cost of such a road would
add to the taxes, but the farm would
increase more than the outlay for the
road.
—Strawberry, plants should be set
out early, just as soon as the ground
will permit, so as to give them a good
start early in the spring. The spring
rains are of the greatest advantage, as
the strawberry plants do not thrive in
very dry weather. Should the season
be dry, however, after the plants are
well under growth, cultivate between
the rows frequently, which will greatly
aid them to secure and retain mois-
ture.
—Strawberries now grow very large
in size, but the large berries are not al-
ways the best. For market, the ship-
ping qualities of the variety must not
be overlooked. For home use, the
sweetest and best flavored varieties
should be preferred, without regard to
size. As the appearance increases
prices, however, size must be consider-
ed also, but no colt variety ohould be
grown, a8 it will never reach the mar-
ket in good condition.
—Itis an old proverb that a sick
sheep never gets well. This may be
true where some contagious disease ex-
ists, but the belief is due to the time-
honored supposition that sheep should
take care of themselves. Ifa sheep is
sick and is taken in hand early. given
good care and well sheltered from
the storms, it will soon recover from
an ordinary illness. It is the damp.
ness that injures sheep more than se-
verely cold weather.
—If the ensilage from one acre will
feed a cow through the winter, as is
claimed for it, the cost of the milk will
be lower than that from any other kind
of food. The value of ensilage is in
the saving of expense in production,
the crop growing quickly. Sweet corn
has been highly recommended as most
suitable for the purpose, but the cost of
the seed is greater than that of field
corn. It will pay dairymen to grow a
crop for eusilage this year.
— It is a waste of clover seed to sow
it onthe surface of the snow, as a
large portion of the seed will not ger-
minate, and much of it will be eaten by
birds. The proper mode is to use a
smoothing harrow over the wheat field
and sow the clover seed. The rain will
then cover it. Harrowing the wheat
field will not injure the wheat, but
prove beneficial. A roller may also be
passed over the wheat field after the
clover seed is sown, if preferred. These
matters largely depend on the land,
however.
—The rule for mating turkeys is one
male for about 10 females. The stock
is greatly improved it the male turkey
is 2 years old, and both he and the
female are of large size. Young hens
will lay early provided they were early
enough last year to get a large growth
They lay more eggs than hen turkeys
will the second and third year, and, as
with all birds, the earliest eggs produce
the strongest and best chicks. They
have more constitution than turkey
chicks hatched in hot weather, and for
that reason the early large bird should
be preferred for breeding.
Low Rate Excursions to Washington,
D. C., via Pennsylvania Railroad.
The two remaining excursions to the
capital will be run on March 22d and
April 19ih, and judging from the ex-
tensive patronage accorded previous
trips there is every likelihood of there
being even a greater number of people
who will avail themselves of the ex-
tremely low rate in effect for this pop-
ular series. The entertainment afforded
by a visit to the handsomest city in the
Union, and the educational benefits ful-
lowing an inspection of the architec-
tural achievements and other attrac-
tions there, will more than repay the
journey which, in any event, is rendered
exceedingly pleasant by the adaiirable
train service of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company.
A stop-off at Baltimore will be allowed
within the limit, which is ten days, and
return trip may be made on any regular
train within the prescribed time. The
tickets will be sold and the special train
of parlor cars and day coaches will
leave as per the schedule below.

——There is a great deal of wire pull-
ing going on among the Methodist min-
isters before Conference meets to try to
be retained in or reappointed to fat, easy
places, with good salaries and little to
do. There is a popular delusion that
the people who compose the church and
pay the salary bave some say about the
choice of the pastor, but in many cases,
probably in most cases, that is not the
way in the Methodist church, Unless
the Bishop chooses to exercise his prerog-
ative the President Elder has all the say
and does as he pleases. If he 1s a friend
of the minister or social pressure is
brought to bear upon him he sends the
minister back, whether the church
wants him or not. Accordingly it hap-
pens that there are Methodist Churches
with pastors whom the people they
preach to do not like, do not want and
will not go to hear. This from the lay-
man’s standpoint is the main reason
why so many of the Methodist Church-
es in Philadelbhia are growing weaker
instead of stronger.
—— Most every woman has in her
scrap bag yards and yards of soiled
light ribbons that she bas no idea
what to do with, Now is the time to
use them. Oane of the very prettiest
effects in dress trimmings is made by
putting rows of bright colored ribbons
on dress skirts and btodices, and overlay-
ing them with black or white lace in-
gertion. Take the soiled ribbons and
put them in borax water ; after they
have been in 1t five minutes pick up the
end aod alternately strip smoothly
through the fingers and dip in the wa-
ter until all grease spots are taken out,
then rinse'in the same way and hang
up to dry. There are plenty of dye
stuffs that you can use yourself; select
the color you like and follow direc:
tions, It is such a cheap way of se-
curing pretty results, for new ribbon
costs a lot of money ; as much or more
than the dress very often.
——The late Judge Lamar, of the
United States supreme court, was a
gentleman of the old school, and was
always making fine speeches to women.
There is no end of stories toid about
bim. On one occasion he was taken to
task by a lady at Bar Harbor, who
thought he did not recognize her. “Ah |
judge,” she said, “I am afraid you don’t
remember me; I met you here two
years ago.” ‘Remember you, madam!”
was his quick reply, with one of his
courtly bows; “why, I've been trying
ever since to forget you.”” And she
laughingly exclaimed : ‘Oh ! go away,
you dear, delightful old southern hum-
bug !"”— Harper's Weekly.
——At the department of public in-
struction the recent decision concern-
ing vaccination is considered as ex-
tremely important, inasmuch as it is
the first discussion on the question in
the state. It virtaally gives the school
boards supreme authority on the sub-
ject, even when the parents are for
some reason unwilling to have their
children subject to the ordeal. At
present this is regarded as very impor-
tant, as numerous queries from all of
the large cities especially, are being re-
ceived on the subject. The school
board can enforce vaccination when:
ever they deem proper.
Disappointed Ambition.
“No,” said Farmer Corntassel’s wife,
‘fame ain’t fur everybody. There's
Josiar. Ha done his best, but he never
will git famous.”
“What was his ambition ?”’
“Ter git his picter in the paper. He
set up nighis tryin’ ter think of some
ailment ter take patent medicine fur,
but he was so overpowerin’ healthy that
they wusn’t a single thing fur ’im ter get
cured of I"’— Washington Star.
The Earliest Easter Until 1951,
Easter comes very early this year, as
it falls on March 25, but it will be near-
ly a hundred years before it falls again
on this date, the next years being 1951,
2085, 2046, 2057,2114, 2125 and 2198.
The earliest upon which Easter can fall
is March 22 and the last Easters on this
date were in the years 1693, 1716 and
1818 ; but so early an Easter will not
come again until 1970.
All Eyes Upon Him.

Government position, I hear.”
“Yes. It's a regular cynosure.’—
