Farm Notes.
— Clean off the clusters of eggs on
the limbs of the apple trees and there
will be fewer caterpillars to destroy
next spring.
—Dig up the canna roots, separate
them, and wrap in brown paper.
Then place them on a shelf io a cool
place, but not where they will become
frozen.
— A writer says that it is hardly pos-
sible to over-feed a hog with coro if he
bas first had a liberal feed of pump-
kine. We vever knew one to eat too
muny pumpkins.
— Experience favors the continuance
of sods in orchards during the winter.
While fall plowing is an advantage in
many cases the sod ot an orchard
ghould not be turned under until
spring.
—Bunk up all fall planted trees with
earth, so ae to protect them from frosts
in the winter, and insects in early
gyring. By banking up the trees they
will also be less hable to injury by
high winds.
—Potatoes and apples should be
handled carefully, and not rolled down
through the cellar through chutes, or
dumped out of wagons, as injury is lia-
ble, and decomposition begius sooner
than would otherwise happen.
—No kind of fruit need be lost. If
there is no market within convenient
distance the (ruit may be evaporated.
Ii 1s not difficult to dispose ot the fruit
in soe form and the farm that hasa
good orchard will be increased in val-
ue. ”
—1In selecting varieties of fruit do
pot be induced to purchase by the
claims made in the catalogues, as 1t is
impossible to secure a variety that is
suitable to all climates. The yalue of
a plant depends largely upon the con-
ditions to which it will be subjected.
—TFor poultry the use of wheat bran
and skim milk is excellent, but it
chould be given with other ground
food, in the shape of a stiff doug.
Fresh meat and green food of sowe
kind should be also allowed. ‘Ou cold
days a full ration of corn will be of ad-
vant» ge,
—Grain is an important article of
food atter severe cold weather sets in.
It produces more warmth than any
other food, and is in a more coucentra-
ted form, as well as beng more easily
digested than bulky substances. lt
should uever be omitted from the win-
ter ration.
— Dead animals are valuable for use
as fertilizers, It they can be cut up
and placed in the centre of the manure
heap they will be decomposed and the
gases absorbed. It death is caused by
some contagious disease, however, all
dead animals suould be burnt or deep-
ly buried.
— Before putting away the potted
plants for the winter, change the earth
in the pow. Do not use pots that are
too large, and avoid watering them in
a manoper 80 88 to completely drench
the earth. A teaspoontal of ammonia
water and the same quantity of phos-
phate of potash, added to one quart of
water, is the best and cleanest fertilizer
that can be applied.
—A Southern farmer grew over 700
bushels of carrots on half an acre of
land last year, of the ox heart variety.
This is an enermous yield, being at the
rate of 1400 buchels per acre, and is
not easily exceeded. It demonstrates
what may be done, however, with
such a crop, and wiih a jield of only
oue-third that amount on an acre of
carrots should prove profitable, as they
are superior to all other root crops as
food for stock.
—To get early onions the seed may
be s .wn thickly in cold frames, well-
protected, but it should be done before
the warm weather gives place to snow
and ice, in order that the seed may
germinate. Bj spring there will be a
plentitul of onion “gets” which may
then be transplanted in the usual man-
ner, or in frames for an early crop.
Onions can endure quite a degree ot
cold without injury, and advantage
may be taken of their hardiness at this
season.
—Swill is readily eaten by swine,
even when it is so fermented as to be
sour, but hogs will keep in better con-
dition on more wholesome food.
Wheat, corn, and oats ground togeth-
er, scalded with clover hay, cut fine,
the whole made into a somewhat slop
py mess, will be just as cheap as
swill and far more wholesome. Hog
cholera and other diseases may 8 me-
times be traced to the filthy food which
the hogs are compelled to eat, because
they cannot procure anything better.
—-The corn crop is one upon which
many farmers depend eotirely. They
are also sometimes disappointed in
their expectations by being subjected
to unfavorable seasons. It is because
corn produces both grain and fodder
that it is valued so highly, but it isa
mistake to depend solely upoa one
crop. Fruit, grass, turnips, potatoes,
and vegetables should be grown in or-
der to have a variety to sell or to use
for the family and the stock. One
crop only sooner or later exhausts the
8011.
— Peas and beans are two neglected
crops, as they are not grown ou many
tarms where they could be made profit-
able. Tt is possible to grow two crops
—early peas, and beans later—on the
same ground, Beans are always sala-
ble at good prices, and the straw of
peas and beans may be utiliz:d as
bedding, or for sheep to pick over.
The best early peae are grown on land
that is heavily manured in the fall or
in winter, 85 28 to turn it under durinz
any warm epell when (he frost is out
of the ground.
Horses and Electricity.
Why the Animals are Easily Killed by a Current
The horse is easily killed by electri
city says the Boston Transcript. It is
popularly supposed that the current, on
entering the body, meets with some
physiological susceptibility that makes
this animal more vuinerable than others
tu the action of such a carrent. The
London Lancet hold that there is no
ground for this assumption. The ex-
planation lies elsewhere. The hoof, and
more particularly its crust and sole, is a
good insulator, but the shoe presents
to the ground a large metallic contract,
and this contract is in ccnnection with
metallic conductors in the shape of
nails, which pierce the strongest
part of the insulation and afford
an easy electrical path into the body.
The contact with earth 1s further im-
proved by the great superincumbent
weight of the animal, and it may often
happen that in passing over wet ground
the external surface of the hoof and the
wet fetlock, especially in the case of un-
trimmed horses, may become sufficient-
ly wet to form a good surface conduc-
tor, and so carry a current directly from
the earth to the upper part of the body.
In this way the safety of the natural
‘resistance’ of the hoofs is neutralized:
A horse, too, covers more ground than
a man and runs greater risk from being
in contact with points of ground further
apart. Farriers ought to consider the
above well, so as to induce them to
bestow extra care upon thedriving of the
nail, to see that it does not penetrate to
the “quick.”
Forty A. P. A, Congressmen,
This is the Claim Made by Grand Lecturer Wal-
ter Sims.
Bay City, Mich., Nov. 18.—In deny-
ing the statement that he is in danger
ol being expelled from the A.P. A,
Grand Lecturer Walter Sims, now vis-
iting here, said incidentally that the
order will have forty members of the
House of Representatives pledged to
A. P. A. principles, He inzists that
the Republican party leaders are at
heart as much opposed to the A. P. A.
as are the Democrats.
Remember the Poor.
Yes, we should all think of the
poor on Thanksgiving.”
“So we should. Did you give any-
thing this year 2’
“Oh, yes.”

Japan's system of telegraphs
covers nearly 30,000 miles and includes
several submarine cables, one of which
connects Korea with Nipon, the largest
ot the group of islands that constitute
the Japanese Empire. The Chinese are
reapitg the results of their folly in de-
chining to adopt the methods of West-
ern civilization. While the Generals
of the Mikado have been constantly
receiving accurate intormation from the
front, Jupanese armies and fleets have
been going up and down through the
lands and sas under the diminion of
the Son of Heaven, and the strategists
of China bave been completely at a
loss as to the whereabouts of their
enemies,
——Elkins made his arrangements for
electicn to the United States senate very
much as Mr Cameron is in the habit of
doing in this state. He saw to it that
none but Elkins men were nominated !
for the legislature, and then invested his
boodle in their election. That was the
way Mr. Brice managed to accomplish
the Ohio senatorship This system, the
rule in a good many states, is an argu-
ment for the election of senators by a
direct vote of the peopie
—— Dr. Anderson Brown, one of the
foremost women physicians of England,
bas established an industrial farm for
inebriate women. The test of the prac-
ticability ot outdoor life as a cure for
drunkenness will he made under the
auspices of the Women’s Temperance
association. Fruit growing, poultry
raising, gardening, bee keeping and
butter making will be among the
branches taught.
We think that we live in a very
enlightened age, but some items of the
daily news hardly look that way. To-
day the cable tells of the arrest of a
Catholic bishop in Poland because he
read the oath of allegiance to the new
czar iu the Polish langnage in-
siead of as Russian in required by
law.
——For a pain in the side or chest
there is nothing so good as a piece of
flannel dampenad with Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm and bound on over the seat
of pain. It affords prompt and perma-
nent relief and if used in time will often
prevent a cold from resulting in pneu-
monia. This same treatment is a sure
cure for a lame back. For sale by F.
P. Green.
—— An industrial plant at Baltimore
has notified its employees of a ten per
cent. increase on wages to take effect
December 1. That is what the Wilson
law is doing for workingmen. That is
how it affects wages.
