Farm Notes.
—TFarming will pay eo long as peo-
ple hold to the habit of getting hun.
gry three times a day.
—To give good plants for winter
blooming pansy seed should be sown
now. Sow in a pot or shallow box,
and place in a cool, shady place until
the seedipgs are well up. Pot them,
and still keep where it is cool. They
should be nice plants by fall.
—The chrysanthemum is one of the
most beautiful flowering plants that
ornaments a flower garden, and it is
just as easy to have the newest novel:
ties as to give room to thefwéll-known
varieties. It seems to thrive wherever
it is placed, and the cost of planting a
plot with them is but little.
—The Minnesota station says that
when the Russian thistle is young and
tender sheepmen claim a high food
value for it. If you are unfortunate
enough to have the pest, you may pas-
ture it or do anything you please with
it, so that it is not permitted to ripen
its seed.
—The work of the plant consists in
converting refuse animal and vegeta-
ble matter into forms of health and
things of beauty—into that which de-
lights the palate and pleases the eye.
It is a kind of a machine, capable of
doing much or little work, depending
upon food, moisture, care, training and
environments,
—W hen setting out young trees dur-
ing the fall .it is better to use those
that are one year old than to take those
that are older, as they will be less lia-
ble to checks in the future, and will
root sooner. A tree that is young will
get a better start than a large one. It
will gain in growth, compared with an
older one, and become more service-
able in the future.
—The only advantage in endeavor-
ing to grow crops in an apple orchard
is in the cultivation which the trees
receive, as the feeding capacity of the
roots of the treesis such as to keep
down those portions of the crop which
grow close to the trees. It is doubtful
if such crops pay for the labor bestow-
ed unless the soil receives a liberal ap-
plication of fertilizer.
—A sheep that loses her lamb early
in the season will almost uecessarily
become too fat to make a good breeder.
The best that can be done with such
is to feed them extra, so as to fatten
rapidly and turn them off to the butch-
er. The loss of lamb, unless it is from
accident, one season is almost invari-
bly followed by a like loss from the
same ewe the following year.
—No crop receives such treatment
as grass. It is cut whether suitable or
not, and cattle are turned on it almost
betore it begins to make growth. With
trampling and close grazing itis sur-
prising that some grass crops give any
returns at all. By keeping the stock
off the grass and clover until it can re-
cuperate from its constant production
the benefits will be noticeable in future,
—Rattling in the throat of fowls is
due to draught of air over them at
night, usually from atop ventilation,
or cracks in the wall. It prevails more
with very fat fowls than with those in
poor condition. It becomes roup, an
incurable disease, if not checked. The
best remedy is to omit all food for two
or three days and then feed but one
meal a day ; also, add a teaspoonful of
chlorate of potash to each quart of the
drinking water. -
—It is an advantage to have a varie-
ty of stock in order to avoid the waste
of some substance that could not be
utilized without the aid of certain kinds
of animals. Cattle will leave much
that a small flock of sheep will con-
sume, and there is always a lot of feed-
ing material fit for the hog pen that
would be of no use except in the man-
ure heap. Even the poultry will con-
sume something that would be lost
without their assistance.
—Eggs are almost a complete food,
containing a large proportion of nitro:
gen and mineral matter as well as the
heat producing elements. They bring
higher prices in proportion to cost than
any other commodity sold from the
farm. In the summer season when
the hens have the range of the orchard
or stubble fields eggs cost nothing at
all as there is then an abundance of
food picked up by the hens in the
shape of graee, seeds and insects.
—Some farmers will carefully look
over seed catalogues every year, and
purchase all the newest novelties that
are offered. . They buy seeds knowing
nothing of them, and the new varieties
turn out to be of no value. Yet these
same farmers keep the same kind of
gtock they had when they began to
farm, and all the evidence that can be
presented in favor of pure breeds is of
no avail. If they were as energetic in
securing the best stock as they are to
procure superiority in fruite, grains and
garden vegetables, they would soon be
able to abolish the mortgage.
—The butter record of Pauline Paul,
a folsttin cow, for one year, was a
quarter of an ounce less than 1154
pounds. She produced 31 pounds of
butter in one week, 128 pounds in 30
days, an average of over three pounds a
day for the whole 365 days. The larg
est day’s yield of butter was four pounds
and nine and a-half ounces. She yield-
ed 18,669 pounds of milk in the year
(about 9330 quarts) and gave about 34
quarts one day as the largest daily
yield. Here is a cow that excels in
both milk and butter. It was the
“breed” that did the work, and if this
cow can produce over 1000 pounds of
butter in a year no dairyman should
be content with lees than half that
production in the same period of time,
Why Barreled Apples Keep.
If apples were placed loosely in bar:
rels they would soon rot, though pass-
ing over only a very short distance of
travel ; and yet, when properly barrel-
ed, they can be sent thousands ot miles,
even over the roughest ocean voyage,
in perfect security. This, says Mee:
han’s Monthly, is owing to a fact dis-
covered years ago, without any one
knowing particularly a reason, that
an apple rots from a bruise only when
then skin was broken. An apple can
be pressed so as to have indentations
over its whole surface without any
danger of rotting, providing the skin is
not broken. 5 barreling apples,
therefore, gentle pressure is exercised,
go that the fruit is fairly pressed into
each other and it is impossible for any
one fruit to change its place in the bar-
rel on its journey. In these modern
times we understand the reason. The
atmosphere is full of microscopic
germs which produce fermentation,
and unless they can get an entrance
into the fruit rot cannot take place. A
mere indentation without a rupture of
the outer skin does not permit of the
action of these microbes.
Charcoal and Soda.
The modern housekeeper pins her
faith to charcoal and soda as summer
helps. Soda dissolved in boiling wa-
ter and poured into the sink daily
keeps it clean and wholesome. Char-
coal kept in the refrigerator in a small
saucer helps to keep meat and butter
untainted. It is an admirable kitchen
disinfectant and cannot be too freely
used. A tin cup filled with vinegar
aad placed on the back of the stove
will prevent the spread of cooking
odors throughout the house.
' ——Ex Governor Flower, of New
York, is for Whitney, who he thinks,
would accept the Democratic nomina-
tion for the Prssidency, and would be
elected. As Mr, Flower says: “The
mills are all rolling our way now.”
They are, for a fact! Everything now
rolls Democracy’s way, which the
country is at last convinced is the way
toward prosperity and plenty.
James J. Corbett, the pugilist,
was married at Asbury Park on
Thursday to Miss Taylor, of Omaha,
Nebraska. The bride is known by the
name of Vera Stanwood. Corbett was
divorced from his first wifd only a
week since. 15S
——Missouri raised in the census
year 156,999,016 bushels of Indian corn.
Effects of the Gothenburg System.
J. Malins, grand chief templar of |
Edgland, and others of authoritative
standing find that the aggregate quan-
tity of aleohol consumed in Gothenburg |
now is about the same as before the
system came into operation, and the
enormously increase consumption of
beer, which has been popularly called
temperance drink in Sweden and is’
not under the control of the bolag or
company, accounts for this fact and for
the other fact that drunkenness is con-
stantly increasing. |
Jack Jenks was a victim of liver complaint,
His strength was exhausted, his pulse had
rown faint.
He had ulcers and tumors, and all sorts of hu-
mors,
And the ills that he suffered would weary a
saint.
Folks said that Jack Jenks could never be |
cure ; i
But Jack said he would—that they might be :
assured,
After all the poor fellow so long had endured.
Such a multitude of serious, distress-
ing, and often fatal maladies spring
from a disordered liver. Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery creates. a
healthy action of this important organ,
and the ills which have their origin
there, such as bad blood, biliousness,
indigestion and dyspepsia can be cured
by its persistent use.
——
The Time When.
The tailor knew the young man
who was looking over the samples.
“What's ‘the price of that?” eaid
the : customer, picking up the best
thing in the lot. :
“Seventy-five dollars.”
The young man snapped it; through
his fingers as if mentally calcula
ting.
“Well,” he asked,;*if I order it now
when can I get it ?”
“When you pay for it!” responded
the tailor with a confidence that al
most unbalanced the young man.

B© PROFITS
Returning prosperity will make many rich, but nowhere can they make so much within
short time as by successful Speculation in Grain, Provisions and Stock.
FOR EACH DOLLAR INVESTED can he made by our
-SYSTEMATIC PLAN OF SPECULATION ——
. $10.00
¥
originated by us. All successful speculators operate on a regular system.
It is a well-known fact there are thousands of-men in all parts of the United States who,
by systematic trading through Chicago brokers, make large amounts every year, ranging
from a few thousand dollars for the man who invests a hundred or two hundred dollars up
to $50,000 to $100,000 or more by those who invest a few thousand.
It is also a fact that those who make the largest profits from comparatively small invest-
ments on this plan are persons who live away from Chicago and invest through brokers who
thoreughly understand systematic trading.
Our plan does not risk the whole amount invested on any trade, but covers both sides, so
that whether the market rises or falls it brings a steady profit that piles up enormously in a
short time.
