Farm Notes. ’
—No system of feeding will put
cows on an equality. Tne only way
to secure uniformity in a berd isto
mse the pure breeds and select the best
every year.
—Those who profess to know pre:
dict that pork will be high this year.
Whether it will or not, the pigs can be
‘made to utilize many waste substances
‘that are of no value except as food for
them,
— Difficulties teach much that was
‘mot known betore. Farmers have now
discovered that wheat was just what
Bey should bave ted years ago, and
that wheat can be profitably grown as
food for stock only.
~The sheep is not as hardy as may
be supposed. Its wool is given as a
protection, but wool will not keep the
rain from chilling the sheep. They
should be sheltered and given straw for
bedding, which will also keep them
clean.
—When the snow melts the farm is
in a sloppy, and disagreeable condition.
Drains or openings should be shoveled
out, if possible, and the water carried
away from the barn and the water car-
ried away from the bara and stables as
it will flow.
—Hundréds of barrels of apples aiid
potatoes are buried under the snow in
towns around Nashua, N. H. The
‘snow came so early; and having re-
mained, will cause considerable loss to
‘many belated farmers. One farmer in
Hudson has 150 bushels of potatoes
yet in the ground.
~ —Some dairymen affirm that (hé#é'y
is more money in selling cream to the |
creamery and feeding the ekim milk to
pigs than by any other plan of mak-
ing a profit from cows. The manure
is also a large item, and the best por-
tions of the milk are not taken from
the farm, as cream does not deprive
the soil of its fertility.
— Farmers who have been selling off
their sheep have done a good thing in
one respect, and that is to thin out the
scrubs. Hereafter the sheep in this
country will be of better grade, and
many farmers who never before made
sheep pay will learn that for years
thev have been losing valuable time in
not keeping better stock.
It is better to start with a few ani-
male and gradually increase, using
pure bred sires for improvement, than
to invest a larger sum ina herd or
flock by purchase of unknown stock.
No farmer can afford to wait a year or
two to find out that his stock is not of
the kind to give a profit. Begin right,
and the work will be easier.
—Many farmers take extra pains to
provide something choice for their cus-
tbmers, and deprive themselves of the
veby luxuries which they sell. This
isnot right. The family table should
be supplied, with the best that the
farm can afford, and the younger
members of the family will not then
* geek in the cities the luxuries which
could as easily be obtained at home.
—A writer in Indiana Farmer rec-
ommends a novel plan of making a
ewe own her lamb. Put a dog in the
stable with her, If the ewe is not en-
tirely devoid of maternal inetincts, she
will defend her lamb. It she is, she
will so intently watch the dog that she
will'unconsciously let the lamb suck.
A neighbor of the writer says that of
several trials it proved a success every
time.
~—When the stalls are given clean,
fresh bedding for the animals they not
only rest comfortably, but are protect
ed from colds. It 18 along the floor
that the cold draughts come, and a
liberal supply of straw serves as a
check to the currents; This is quick-
ly noticeable, when comparing a sta-
ble, which is well'littered on the floor.
It is several degrees“ wartiter in the sta-
ble which bas straw?
—A dozen hens, well caved for, at
this season will produce tice as many
eggs as a flock of similar’ mwmber
which is neglected. In fact, ot hun
dreds of farms where large flocks® may
be seen no eggs are secured in winter,
simply because the hens are neglected.
An egg is composed of several impor’
fant constituent materials, a lack of"
any one of them rendering it impoesi-|
ble for the hens to produce eggs.
—ZEarly tomatoes bring high prices.
‘One way to get them is to begin now,
and sow the seed in a box, keeping the
box in a suitable place in the house.
When the plants are large enough
‘transplant them toa cold frame out-
.side, which is carefully protected and
well covered, to keep out the frost. In
the proper season put the plants in the
-open ground. Care will have to be
used, as the plants are quickly injured
-by cold.
—It should not require much obser-
vation to convince farmers that the
:sheep business is bound to improve.
Farmers are selling off their sheep rap-
idly, and really without cause. The
result will soon be that sheep will be
scarce. The wise farmer will buy
them, as there is a time sure to arrive
when he will have what others will
want. Wool may be low, now, but
mutton is becoming higher. Sheep
are valuable for something more iban
wool, and they will pay well if farmers
will hold on to them.
—Give the boy or girl something in
which to take an interest on the farm.
Remove the young stock off the farm,
and much of the pleasure of stock-
raising will be gone. A few bantam
chicks will create an interest on the
part of a child that owns them, and
the stepping-stone to a more active in-
terest in all classes of animals in the
future will be laid. Boys and girls
will stay on the farm without invita-
Cleveland on Hawaii.
The President Tells Why ‘the Philadelphia was
Sent to Honolulu.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 20.—In conver.
sation this evening the president seemed
entirely willing to discuss the Hawaiian
question. Hesaid : “No information
has been received which indicates that
anything will happen in Hawaii mak-
ing the presence of one of our naval
vessels necessary, unless we are prepar-
ed to enter up n a policy and course of
conduct vilautive of every rule of inter-
national law and utterly uojustifiaole.
«All who take any interest in the
question should keep in view the fact
that Hawaii is entirely independent of
us, and that in its relations to us it is a
foreign gountry. A ship has been sent
to rata, not becalisd there has been
any change in the policy of the admin-
istration, and not because there seems to
be any imminent necessity for its pres-
ence there. The vessel has been sent in
precise accordance with the policy of
the administration in every case of the
kind, and from motives of extreme cau-
tion, ard because there is a possibility
that disturbances may be renewed,
which might result 1n danger to the
persors or property of American citi-
zens entitled to the protection of the
Uunited S:ates. Tais course was at once
determined upon us soon as information
reached the government of the recent
revolt.
«So far from having the slightest ob-
jection to making public the instruc-
tions that were given to the commander
of the Philadelphia, and the dispatch he
will carry to Mr. Willis, otif minister
in Hawall, I am glad to put them be-
fore my fellow-citizens.” .
The instructions which are thus made
ublic, are for Rear Admiral Beardslee,
of the Philadelphia, to proceed at once
to Honolulu. He is to give fo aid
whatever to any parties in case of war
in the islands, but will protect all
| citizens of the United States who do not
take part in the strife. Beardslee is in-
stricted to consult with Minister Willis
o#' 411 points that may arise. ~~ Minister
Willi i§ also notified of the coming of
the Philedelphia.
Vi1ibse Fault 1¢ Is.
The Saurnteres, in the Altoona T'ri-
Dune, in the follswing mildly aeks
“whose fault is it that the vote on
the women question i the Methodist

ence. A questicn to our mind alto-

“Talking about Methodist matters,”
remarked the Lady, “if I am not mis-
staken the last general conference of
that church directed that the members
of the church should again vote upon
the women question in November,
1894. Is that correct?” The Saunter-
er replied that he believed it was.
“Well, there was no vote taken in our
church ; no announcement made con-
cerning the vote ; the whole matter
was ignored, either by the preacher in
charge or the quarterly conference, or
by both. And there is no redress. The
time for voting hae gone by. When
the returns are sent in there will be no
vote reported from our church, not be-
cause nobody wanted to vote, but be:
cause nobody was given a chance. Do
you think the failure to take this vote
was part of a plot to nullity the action
of the general conference on the part
of those who are willing that woman
shall do all the work of the church,
but unwilling to permit her to help
‘make the laws by which she is govern:
ed.” The Saunterer declined to com-
mit himself to an affirmative answer.
He would rather believe that wherever
there was a failure to take this impor-
tant vote, the omission was the result
of forgetfulness.

The Steamer Australia Will Curry d Big Con-

San Francisco, Jan, 20.—The flag-
ship Philadelphia left here for Hono-
lulu at 11 o’clock this morning; dnd it is
expected she will make the run to the
islands in about siz days. Thé oceanic

Honolulu yesterday, but her sailing was
postponed until’ 10° o'clock tomorrow

is that nobody in America’ has lately

Great Destitution i» Nebraska.
GREELY CENTRE, Neb, January 20.
—The distress in this part of the state is
appalling. No picture of the suffering
bas been overdrawn and a great many
sad esses have been suppressed. Thus
far there has been but little cold weath-
er and nv snow. Hundreds of families
have nothing to ent and no fuel, and
children are so nearly naked tbat they
are kept from school. At least one
fifth of the people of thix county have
become county charges, which has de-
pleted the county treasury und deprecat-

more than half its va'ueand is still go-
ing down.
It is impossible for the j eople to care
for the destitute and unless a large
amount of outside assistance is received
at once some of the worthy farmers and
their families will perish. The people
are most in need of clothing and any-
thing in that line cannot fail to alleviate
the suffering.
