Farm Notes.
—~Color, flavor and grain are three
essential elements of butter.
—Have you a pair of scales? They
are next in importane to a pencil in ac-
tive service.
—One of the greatest leaks in dairy-
ing is the great loss of butter fat lost by
careless handling.
—The present low prices of farm
products makes it necessary to reduce
their cost of production to the mini
mum,
—Put eaves spouts on the barn and
keep the water out of the cellar during
the summer rains, and gather the ex-
posed manure in close piles.
—Wheat bran makes an excellent
fertilizer, but it pays to use it as feed
first, and then save the manure in a
manner 80 as to preserve it without
loss.
—A fat sow in summer should not
be desired. Keep the sows in fair con-
dition, and they will give better results
as breeders, and produce stronger pigs
than when very fat.
—During the very warm days the
teams should be used early in the
morning, so as to allow at least two
hours for rest at noon. More work
will be secured by so doing than by
shortening the noon rest.
—Manures from animals differ, the
quality depending upon the feed from
which it is obtained, Itis best pre-
served by the use of plenty of absor-
bent material, especially io prevent
loss of the liquid portious.
—No one kind of food is perfect.
Even when horses have an adundance
of timothy hay they will also accept
straw and cornsidlks as a change of
diet, as well as keep in better condition
from being allowed a greater variety.
—There is no reason why every
farmer should not keep bees. Houey
costs nothing, and is a valuable pro-
duct, considering the price it usually
brings, in comparison with the small
expense incurred in ite production.
—Work the strawberry plants well
and deep, so as to afford a soft bed for
the runners. Apply fertilizer along
the rows and work 1t into the soil.
Any growth of plants made this season
will have a corresponding influence on
the crop next year.
—1If farmers will now make the at-
tempt tobuy a few bushels of potatoes
they will find prices well up, and they
will not hesitate to grow larger crops.
As the potato is composed very largely
of water, it is really the most expensive
of all foods when prices are up to 80
cents or §1 per bushel.
—Treating seed potatoes by immers-
ing the cut tubers in a 2 per cent. solu-
tion of corrosive sublimate has been
found a sure remedy for scab. It
should be impressed on those who
handle, the solution, however, that it
is an active poison, and great care
should be exercised with it.
— White clover is superior to the
red, but does not grow very high, and
for that reason it receives no considera-
tion as a crop for hay, but there is
nothing superior to it in the pasture.
Both cows and sheep are very partial
to it, and it will thrive on soils that
will not produce the red variety.
—Two jobs are performed at the
same time when cultivating the soil to
kill weeds. First, the weeds are de-
stroyed before they have a chance to
deprive the soil of plant food, and, next
the loosening of the soil prevents loss
of moisture and also permits the soil to
absorb moisture during a shower, in-
stead of allowing loss of water, as hap:
pens when the soil is hard.
.—The solubility of manureis the
most important point connected with
it. It can never become soluble until
it has decomposed, and when a large
mass of coarse, bulky material is spread
on the land the farmer will have to
wait until it becomes fit for plaat food
before bis crops derive any benefit from
such. Commercial fertilizers are sold
as much upon their guarantee of solu-
bility as upon the plant food contained.
—A ready market always exists for
the best. When the farmer produces
a better article than the market con-
tains he will not only secure ‘a good
price therefore, but the market will
seek him the next season. The amount
of fruit and vegetables, butter, cheese
and poor animals shipped to the large
cities is enormous, and prices fall be-
cause such articles cannot be sold.
-Aim to get/good prices by selling noth-
ing but what isin demand and of the
highest quality.!
—Turnipe may be planted about the
latter: part: of June, or during July.
Ute the new crop’ot seed and have the
ground ready, It is better to plant an
excess of seed, thinning out, if the
plants are too thick, as the fly some-
times'does damage. With ‘the improv-
ed hand seed drills and wheel hoes
now in use the turnip crop is not as
difficult to grow as formerly. No crop
helps out in winter more than turnips,
as they afford a change of food and
promote thrift of the stock.
——About {300 pounds of butter per
year from each cow should be expect
ed, Some cows are capable of giving
more than twice that amount. If the
farmer is satisfied to keep cows that
give less be is notas enterprising as he
should be. [Scrubs cannot be relied
upon. ‘The only way to increase’ the
butter production is to grade the cows
up to the higher standard. By raising
the calves dn the farm, and ‘selecting!
the best heifers, continuing to improve
every year, the stock will become more
valuable and the profits larger,
Pinned in a Wreck,
A Western Engineer's Nerve in. The Moments of
His Great Agony.
A Western railroad man who was
visiting Washington recently told the
Star reporter the following story : “I
was riding on the Seattle North Shore
and Western Railroad four yearsago
when the engine went through a trestle
into a shallow stream The engineer,
Jim Boyle, was under the locomtive, and
two other train hands were holding his
head up out of the water when I reach-
ed the spot. From just above the knees
his body was uninjured, but the lower
parts of his legs were crushed flat and
held in a vice which knew no loosening.
Several miles above some Chinese min-
ers were working and they dammed up
the water every night before quitting,
letting it loose again when they began
to wash dirt next day.
The engineer lay in water of sufficient
depth to prevent a doctor, 2ven if he
had been present, from amputating his
legs, and there was the added danger
that the Chinese might set the water
loose and thus drown the injured man.
Boyle lay there in what must have
been agony certainly, and with the
water barely below his mouth and icy
cold at that, and never whimpered. He
inquired calmly if a coffer dam couldn’t
be built around him, and when this was
found to be impossible he asked that his
wife be sent for—he lived a few stations
back—to come up on the wrecking
train,
puffed away at a pipe as contentedly, to
all appearances, as if he had been in his
engine cab. The trainmen relieved
each other, and the passengers took
turns in holding up Boyle's head above
the water, and as the hours wore away
everybody seemed to feel the awful
strain but Boyle. Shortly before noon
a welcome toot was heard to the south
of us, and Boyle heard it.
“I'll bet the cigars that Clara’s
aboard that train,’ was all he said.
“It was the wrecking train, and the
first person off it was a white-faced little
woman with tightly compressed lips.
She knew the state of affairs, and went
straight to the cut and down into its
awful bottom with unheasitating steps.
She took her husband’s head in her arms
and kissed him.
“My legs are gone sure, Clara,’ said
the man with a smile.
“Well, your heart's all right,” she
responded cheerfully. There was no
hopelessness in her appearance, no mat-
ter how full her heart might have been.
Someone came rushing down witha
startled cry. ‘The Chinamen have be-
gun washing I’ Neither the man nor
woman showed a bit of fear.
“Let me have the gun, dear,’ he
pleaded,
“You'd die with a sin on your soul,
she replied. ‘I'll doit, darling, and
live to square myself.’
“That woman, gentlemen, had come
prepared to kill the man she loved in
preference to letting him die a most
horrible death in a flood of dirt and
sand and gravel. An Englishman, who
had been a passenger on the train, ap-
peared at this juncture with an im-
plement shaped something like a mat-
tock. No one knew where he got it.
‘Maybe we can scrape the bottom away
under Boyle's legs and drag hig out, or
pau left of him, anyhow, he suggest-
ed,
‘He went to work. Every now and
then he would strike the crushed legs of
the engineer and ejaculate, ' ‘I beg par-
don,’ and Boyle would invarably reply,
‘No harm done, general.” In ten min-
utes he asked Boyle to brace himself
and motiorel to the men at his side.
Boyle's arms and shoulders were quickly
grasped by muscular trainmen ; there
was a strong jerk and Boyle was re-
leased. Even in that supreme moment
of agony, when he was laid on the side
of the cut, with masses) of bleeding,
crushed, quivering flesh and bone,
where his feet and shins and knees had
been, he looked up'to'the Enghshman
and said : ‘General, thanks; youare a
corker,” and then fainted in his wifes
arms. Ten minutes later the cut was
ten feet deep, with a bubbling, hissing,
rapid stream of yellow water.”
Fruit Syrup. —Fruit syrups are good
things to have about the house during
summer season. Diluted to taste with
ice cold water they are very refreshing
beverages. Those made of strawberries
or red currants are particularly nice.
They are made in this way: Into a
saucepan put one pint’ of water, two
pounds, ot loaf sugar and a quarter of an
ounce of citric'acid. Place on a slow
fire and let the mixture boil two or
three minutes. Remove tbe pan and
put into it a half pound of the fruit
desired, well crushed. Boil again for
two or three minutes, strain into a jug
and bottle when cold.
ern shore of Maryland recently shipped
to Baltimore 12,700 pounds of green
gooseberries and sold them at 4} cents a
pound. He expects to gather more than
600 bushels of gooseberries from six
acres. The gooseberry is one of the
fruits that sell better green than ripe.
Green gooseberry sauce is esteemed an
admirable accompaniment to, meats in
the lands where the gooseberry grows,
and green gooseberry pie, though less
beautiful than cranberry tart, is an ad-
wmirable product.

~—— Although the Young Men's
Christian Association has Tong been
‘stronger in this country than in Europe,
the International Conference of the or-
ganization has never met here... The
chief deierrent reason has been the great
cost of bringing nearly 2,000 delegates
from all parts of the world to the United
States. : This expense would fall largely
upon the associations on this side of the
Atlantic, and they are hardly ready to
shoulder it. ’

look as charming as her fair-complex-
