Farm Notes.
—Radishes for winter may be stored
in eand, in the cellar. Root crops may
also be kept in this manner.
—A good rule with sheep is to keep
them under shelter in stormy weather,
and let them run out when the weather
is fine.
—No farmer needs to expect success
who will knowingly leave things un-
done which may be necessary for its
attainment.
—1It is stated that we are purchasing
barley from Russia, and that this
country imports farm products of
many kinds which could be grown
here. .
—All small fruits in the garden will
be benefited by a heavy mulching of
manure, which protects the roots
against frequent thawing and freezing
of the soil.
-~The Minorcas and Black Spanish
lay larger eges than do any other
breed of fowls, but the Brahmas,
Cochins and Plymouth Rocks are the
best winter layers.
—It is estimated that the apple crop
is only 40 per cent. of a full one, and
the demand for apples is increasing, a
large proportion of the crop having
already been engaged in Europe.
—Cut the rose bushes back and cov-
er them by wrapping straw around
them, hilling up well to turn water off.
If the climate is not toosevere for some
varieties simply hill them up.
—The English method of destroying
worms in flower pots 18 to soak an
ounce of ground mustard over night in
a quart of hot water and apply it the
next morning, while lukewarm, around
the roots of the plants, saturating the
earth in the pots.
——Plants in the house will become
dusty and the leaves will then be una-
ble to properly perform their functions.
All plants should be washed, or
sprayed, twice a week with tepid water.
To protect against mealy bug wash
with strong eoapsuds and in 15 min
utes after rinse the plants well with
clean water.
—In England and Scotland the
farmers raise large sheep, whole flocks
averaging over 300 pounds each, alive,
and when a wether is killed for family
use, that which is not desired imme-
diately is corned the same as beef.
Small breeds are not raised in Great
Britain, and the farmers pay no atten-
tion to wool compared with mutton.
—The value of clover as manure
may be shown by the fact that an acre
of white clover contains 132 pounds of
nitrogenous matter, and red clover
528 pounds, but white clover contains
more mineral matter than the red.
Compared with this the average
quality of barnyard manure contains
about 50 pounds of nitrogenous matter
per ton.
—Marl is excellent on grass lands,
and containg lime, potash and phos-
phates, but in proportions which do
not permit of shipping it to a great dis-
tance. Those who can procure it ata
low cost for transportation, however,
will find it a valuable aid on pastures,
though its action ig slow. It is an ex-
cellent absorbent when used with
manure.
— Working the garden with th spade
and hoe, on heavy soil, is hard work
in the spring, and it not much relished
by tarmers, who prefer the horse hoe,
The soil can be mellowed some if it is
deeply plowed at this seascn, or if the
plot is too small to admit of plowing,
it may be spaded. No raking is pec-
essary, but a heavy application of lime
should be given.
—Farmers who believe that farming
does not pay should ask themselves if
they are using the best kind of stock,
and if their implements are of the most
improved labor saving makes. Also,
if they allow their manure to go to
waste, and if weeds are allowed to rob
the soil and the plants, Farming, like
any other business, pays in proportion
to the skill bestowed in the manage-
ment.
—When the fodder is left in the
fields it not only becomes soaked with
rain, but is blown down by the winds,
which alse tear the blades and causes
waste. Fodder may be stored loosely
under a shed if well cured, and will be
in excellent condition for winter use.
If the corn fodder is fed now, and the
hay saved, a larger proportion of bulky
food will be available in winter, as the
leaving of the shocks in the field is
wasteful.
—At the end of the year each farm-
er should survey his work, and com-
pare his expenses with his receipts.
Credit that which has been purchased
for the family and also the proportion of
product of the farm that was consumed,
ae well as estimating the value of the
manure and increase of stock. The re-
sult may show that the farmer has
made a fair profit. Keep accounts
next season and learn what has been
done.
—Western dressed beef could not
dompete with home-raised beef if the
Western beef was not of good quality.
Much has been said in regard to the
monopoly of the markets by dressed
beet, the fact is that it is of excellent
quality compared with that which has
been furnished the consumers by
butchers who have accepted old cows,
poor steers and other animals that
have been out of condition for the
butcher in many ways. When the
farmers begin toraise ‘choice’ beef,
by using beef producing breeds, they
will be able to compete with Westgra
beef without difficalty. It is a sad
truth, but lack of guality in home:
raised meat has given up the markets
to Western ready-dresssed beef.
ages.
Hard on Several Animals.
The Democratic party was not beaten
on Tuesday ; that sound in the night
was only the walloping of the Democra-
tic jackass who was being punished for
kis clumsiness in allowing himself to be
saddled with Republican hard times.
There can be no question that the hard
times we have passed through were of
Republican make, as they came upon us
under the McKinley tariff and during
ing the labored efforts for tax reform
made necessary by the failure oft that
tariff ; but there can also be no ques-
tion that the party in power ought to
have kicked the burden oft at the ear-
liest opportunity. It profits nothing to
say that the making of the Wilson
tariff bill took more time than the
enactment of the McKinley law. Only
the dull and unreasonable jackass will
move with deliberation when getting
out of the way of a locomotive, and said
jackass has been punished accordingly.
But the great Democratic party isn’t
killed. Oh, dear, no! We're all right!
Over in New York they have slain a
tiger, but we can spare that, too.—
Lancaster Intelligencer.
The West Virginia Senatorship.
Elkins and Judge Goff the More Prominent of the
Candidates.
CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. 10.—
William E. Chilton, Secretary of State
and chairman of the Democratic State
committee, stated to-night that the Re-
publicans would have a majority on
joint ballot in the next Legislature of
88. Said he:
“The Republicans could send home
twice as many of their members as the
total number of Democrats in the Leg-
islature and still have a working major-
ity. There are already ten candidates
for United States Senate in the field and
thelist is being swelled every day. Judge
Nathan Goff and Stephen B. Elkins are
the more prominent.
Several candidates for the different
offices in the organization of the Senate
and house have already announced
themselves. It has been a long time
since the Republicans have had a chance
at State offices, and they are losing no
time in the opportunity now presented.”
Another Astor Hotel.
It Will Be Larger and More Magnificent Than
the Waldorf and Will Be Run in Connection
With It.
New York, Nov. 2 —John Jacob
Astor is to build a big hotel on the site
of the William Astor house, adjoining
the Waldorf, which is the property of
his cousin, William Waldorf Astor. 1t
will be higher than the Waldorf, and
will be 350 feet long by 100 feet wide.
It is said that both outside and inside
it will surpass the Waldorf in magmfi-
cence.
Manager Ely of J. J. Astor’s affairs
said that it would in no way be a rival
to the Waldorf, but will be run by Mr.
Boldt, who leases the Waldorf, and in
conjunction with it. The plans are be-
ing drawn up by Architest Harden berg,
who designed the Waldorf.
Signification of Names.
Siberia signifies “thirsty.”
‘‘the country of grapes.” Calcedonia
means ‘* a high mill”. Asia signifies
‘4n the middle,” from the fact that an-
cient geographers thought it between
Europe and Africa. Italy signifies “a
country of pitch,” from its yielding
great quantities of black pitch. Hiber-
nia is “utmost” or ‘last habitation,”
for beyond this to the westward the
Pocenicians never extended their voy-
Britian is “the country of tin,”
great quantities being found init. The
Greeks called it Albion, which signifies
either “white” or “Ligh,” from the
whiteness of its shores or the high rocks
on the western coast.
