Farm Notes.
—Shelter is most the important mat-
ter connected with farming. The cap-
ital invested in shelter enables the
farmer to save food by keeping the
animals warm. When the winter is
severe the animals require more food
than in summer in order to creat saf-
ficient warmth to .protect the bodies
from cold. The more an animal is ex-
posed the more heat must be created
and additional food will be necessary.
Comfortable stock will increase more
rapidly in weight than if given no
shelter, and the gain to the farmer in
the saving of food and the freedom
from disease of the flock or herd will
return a fair profit on the investment
in shelter.
—1In a series of experiments care-
fully made it was found that in all
cases the animal derived more nutri-
tive benefit from ground grains than
from whole grains. The simple crush-
ing of the grains is sufficient. Even
though the animals swallow them with
out mastication the juices of the
stomach will enter into them and pre-
pare them for easy assimilation. The
stock-raiser constantly finds that his
grain fed goes further by grinding or
crushing the feed than when fed whole.
—A Scotch homaepathic physician
recommends a dose of colchium for
cattle that have been bloated by eating
too much of anything. Itis a homce
pathic remedy, and three or four drops
in a glasstul of water is encugh. It
must be poured down, and the bloating
will stop inside of 10 minutes. No
second dose will be needed. This
remedy is worth trying, and farmers
who have stock liable to bloat should
keep some of it ready for emergencies.
—Liquid manure contains nitrogen-
ous matter, phosphoric acid and pot-
ash. The largest part of the nitrogen
of liquid manure is in the form of a
valuable carbonate of ammonia, unless
putralized, results in a loss of am-
monia, but by combining with phos-
phoric acid there is formed phosphate
of ammonia, which is better adapted
to the growth of plants than when
combined with sulphuric acid.
—If bones cannot be reduced to a
very fine condition pound them, or
break them to pieces in some manner
and place them around the grape vines
about six inches, deep in the soil.
They may also be used around trees.
But little benefit will be derived from
coarse pieces of bone for a yearor two,
but it is better to utilize them than to
allow them to accumulate into un-
sightly heaps.
—At a recent sale in England it is
reported that good driving horses sold
brickly at $650 each, good bunters and
saddle horses sold for $1000 each,
while fine, well-matched carriage
horses sold for $1000 to $1500 a pair.
England has plenty of horses and uses
electricity ; yet there is a demand for
good horses which are bred for special
purposes.
—Clover that is seeded down in
August, where the ground does not
freeze in winter and throw the young
plants out, will give a good crop the
next year. Crimson clover makes
such rapid growth in the fall, compar-
ed with the red variety, that it becomes
firmly rooted before winter sets in and
starts off early in growth in the spring.
—Unless the surface is very uneven,
and the soil light and porous, but little
fertility is wasted fro manure drawn
upon the field when fresh, even when
the ground is frozen or heavy rains
intervene. Thus on many farms,
where the surface is level or only
slightly rolling, manure may be spread
at almost any time of the year.
—OQue of the difficulties encountered
in keeping sheep is that they do not
always thrive if the flocks are large.
It is for that reason that merinos and
south-downs have been more popular
than some of the large breeds, as they
are active foragers, and can be kept in
larger numbers in one flock than the
Oxford or Shropshire downs.
—Clover has many virtues as a fer-
tilizer, but do not expect it to renew
the soil in a miraculous way. It is
the very best aid to the good farmer,
but needs to be supplemented often by
mineral fertilizers, and for all early
crops, by nitrogen in more available
form than clover only can furnish.
—Chicks will not raise themselves
To be successful we must take the very
best care of them, watching tor and at-
tending to their every want. There
are 80 mauy details to be taken into
account that it is impossible to record
them here, but each one must attend
to them as they present themselves.
—When bran and middlings are
bought and fed to the stock it is equi-
valent to buying manure at the same
time, as all foods brought on the farm
add to the plant food of the soil when
the manure is spread.
—Carrots, turnips, and beets, it fed
raw to cattle, should always be sliced
and notcut up into irregular pieces.
Cattle are much more liable to being
easily checked than any other claes of
stock.
—Experiments made with eggs for
hatching purposes demonstrate that
those layed by pullets are unreliable,
and fewer chicks are obtained than
from eggs layed by old hens,
—JExcellence in a breed does not in-
dicate that all animals of that breed
are vp to the highest standard. Ib-
dividuals differ, land some will excel
others of the same breed.
—Grub up the sassafras growing in
the ficlls, and keep the young bushes
down until the fizlde are cleared of
them.
Orange Blossoms.
A Pretty Legend Explaining the Origin of Their
Significance.
Like all familiar customs whose
origin is lost in antiquity, the wearing
of orange blossoms at a weddivg is ac-
counted for in various ways. Among
other stories is the following pretty
legend from Spain:
An African Prince presented a Span-
ish King with a magnificent orange
tree, whose creamy, waxy-blossoms
and wonderful fragrance excited the
admiration of the whole court. Many
begged in vain for a branch of the plant,
but a foreign ambassador was torment-
ed by the desire to introduce so great
a curiosity to his native land. He
used every possible means, fair or foul,
to accomplish his purpose, but all his
efforts coming to naught, he gave up
in despair. The fair daughter of the
court gardener was loved by a young
artisan, but lacked the dot which the
family considered necessary in a bride.
One day, chancing to break off a spray
of orange blossoms, the gardener
thoughtlessly gave it to his daughter.
Seeing the coveted prize in the girl's
hair, the wily ambassador promptly
offered her a sum sufficient for the de-
sired dowry, provided she gave him the
branch and said nothing about it. Her
marriage was soon celebrated, and on
the way to the altar, in grateful re.
membrance of the source of all her
happiness, she secretely broke off
another piece of the lucky tree to
adorn her hair. Whether the poor
court gardener lost his head in conse-
quence of the daughter’s treachery, the
legend does not state, but many lands
now know the wonderful tree, and ever
since that wedding day orange blossoms
have been considered a fitting adorn-
ment for a bride.

——Henry Wilson, the postmaster at
Welshton, Florida, says he cured a case
of diarrhea of long standing in six
hours, with one small bottle of Cham-
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrbcea
Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that
must have been to the sufferer. Such
cures are not unusual with this remedy.
In many instances only one or two duses
are required to give permanent relief,
It can always be depended upon. When
reduced with water it is pleasant to
take. For sale by F. P. Green.

also of the close watch kept up by the

by Harper Bros., on Spring street. It has been
added to my factory and will be used exclu-
sively for the sale of harness, being the first
exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom has been to sell
in the room in which they were made. This
slogant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat aud dust, the enemies of long wear in
lesther. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
We are prepared to offer better bargains in
the future than we have done in the past and
