Farm Notes.
—(Growing pigs need to run about to
“strengten their muscles and to keep
them from becoming too fat as many of
them will become diseased and die.
—It is estimated that grain fed to
suckling lambs designed for the butch-
er at an early day pays at the rate of
32 a bushel for corn, anywhere in the
Eastern and Middle States.
—Of all the friends that the farmer
and horticulturist has, in the way of
insects, not one stands ahead of the
ladybug. They are the lions among
insects ; they live wholly on insects.
—It is now affirmed that kerosene
is not a sure agency for destroying lice,
but that if a gill of crude carbolic acid
is added to each pint of kerosene, be-
fore the emulsion is made, it will des-
troy all forms of lice.
—1Is your horze well shod, and does
his harness fit him ? If not, putona
pair of boots one size too large or
small, and let down one suspender, and
find out for yourself how he feels, says
a horseman.
—Occasionally a cow may be over-
fed, but in the majority of cases the
cows on the average farm are not fed
liberally enough and this explains why
s0 many otherwise good cows gradual-
ly fail in their milk giving as soon as
cold weather sets in.
—All diseased wood of trees should
be removed in the fall, and trees may
be saved if the diseased parts are care-
fully removed and burned. Black
knots, blight and fungous diseases
must be prevented by fire or they will
spread out every season.
—XKeep the tools not in use under
shelter, out of the sunshine. The hot
sunshine is asdamaging to the wood-
work of farm implements and machin-
ery as rain. Keep the harrow and
cultivator teeth as well as the plough-
shares bright and free from rust.
—Nothing is gained by raising
large hogs. The market demands
hogs of about 150 pounds each, and
such pork can be produced quickly by
turing the pigs on clover and feeding
corn later on. They bring better
prices proportionately than large hogs,
and are always in demand.
—Shade trees should be considered
from an ornamental standpoint, and
usefulness, as well as for periods of
life, Something depends on the soil
and on insect attacks. The oak, maple,
hickory and chestnut are desirable, the
maple being the more rapid grower.
The comntén chestnut is superior to
the horse cLesnut.
—An orchard is not pu'sout proper-
ly if nothing is done but ¢ igging a hole
for each young tree. The land should
be deeply plowed and the tree planted
in a mannper to allow plenty of room
for the roots to be spread out. A little
extra care in setting out the young
trees will add materially to their future
progress:
—Rye as a grain food for hogs is
considered excellent, promoting growth
and increasing the proportion of lean
meat compared with corn-fed hogs.
Rye is also a grain that can be pro-
duced on poor soils where other grains
will not thrive, and as it is sown in the
fall does not entail a heavy expense
for labor or interfere with any other
crops.
—Turn the sheep on the corn stub-
ble as soon as it can be done. They
will eat the weeds and crab graes
which remains. Usually when a field
of corn is harvested and cleared off the
land seems well covered with growth,
especially of crab grass, and the sheep
will find a large share of their food
thereon, as well as greatly assist in
clearing the field.
—Change the pastures of sheep oc-
casionally, as they will appreciate it
and show beneficial effects therefrom.
A pasture upon which they have been
kept during the whole summer, and
which has been closely cropped and
trodden by them, will provide but little
for them unless they are removed for
awhile. Sheep prefer changes of loca-
tiou, and will find something to con-
gume on any plot. Good mutton sheep
must have rich pastures.
—Grass at this season, being matur-
ed or nearly so, is less succulent than
in the spring, and the avimals may
require linseed meal to prevent costive-
ness. Work horses and oxen, which
are kept at work, will keep in better
health than the other animals, the ex-
ercise promoting their appetites. The
object in feeding should be not only to
provide a sufficiency, but to avoid any
kind of bowel disease. Succulent food
should be fed whenever it is possible
to do eo.
—The seeds that are bought bring
weeds on the farm in the fall to spring
up next epring. Clover seed, wheat
and rye may contain seeds too emall
to be noticed, unlees by carefull inspec-
tion. Farmers who neglect to destroy
weeds may entail labor upon an entire
neighborhood, as some seeds are easily
carried to distances by winds. An as-
sociation among farmers for mutual co-
operation against the spread of weeds
would save thousands of dollars in the
labor required for their extermina-
tion.
—Tests in feeding show that it re-
quires about four and one-half times
as much weight of potatoes as of corn-
meal to secure equal results from hogs,
and the potatoes must be cooked.
Considering that the tops of potatoes
cannot be used as food, while corn pro-
duces a large proportion of fodder,
corn is a better farm crop than pota-
toes, but in proportion to yield and
value of the grains and tubers potatoes
are the more profitable. It is fodder
that gives corn such an advantage over
other crops.
FIRST AcTION—SECOND ACTION—
THIRD AcrioN.—So said the wise
Athenian. We shall be wise to follow
bis advice in many matters; in none
more so than in grappling with a cold
or with dyspepsia ; or in seeking relief
from consumption in its earliest stages,
It is absolutely useless to sit down and
bemoan our bad fortune. We must act
—act—act. The first and most impera-
tive action necessary is to procure a
bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. The second action will be to
use it. The third action will naturally
follow—we shall proclaim abroad its
virtues.

Dear Sir—Having felt it a duty to
write of the good I received by taking
your medicine, I now would say, that
one year ago I was given up by my
family physician and friends ; all said I
must die. My lungs were badly affect-
ed, and body reduced to a skeleton.
My people commenced to give me your
‘*Medical Discovery,” and I soon began
to mend. It was not long before I be-
came well enough to take charge of my
household duties again.
I owe my recovery to Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery.
Respectfully, Mira MILLS.

——The editor of a newspapar that
has adopted phonetic spelling in a
measure, received a postal card from an
old subscriber in the country which
read as follows : “I hev tuk your paper
for leven years, but if you kant spel en-
ny better than you hev been doin for
the las to months you may jest stoppit.”
“What I Eat Does Me No Good.”
How often this expression is heard
— Life destroying dyspepsia has told on
you when you feel thus, and should not
be trifled with. There is but one reme-
dy that can permanently cure you, Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
made at Rondout, N. Y., a vegetable
compound endorsed by the medical pro-
fession. Druggists sell it.
——Corn oysters are good to serve
with the meat course at breakfast. To
make them take one half-pint of grated
green corn, two tablespoonfuls of milk,
one gill of flour, one egg, one-half tea-
spoonful of salt, one-eighth of a tea-
spoonful of pepper and two tablespoon-
tuls of butter. Mix the flour seasoning
and corn together. Add the butter
melted and beat well. Beat the egg till
light and add to the mixture. Fry on
a griddle in cakes a little larger than a
silver dollar.

to 212,000 square miles.
The Letter Carriers.
A Big Parade and a Warm Welcome to Phila-
delphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2.—The princi-
pal event of the day’s celebration was
the parade of the letter carriers, hun-
dreds of whom were here to attend the |
national convention which opens to-
morrow. There were upwards of 4,000
carriers in line and a number of bands, |
including the United States Marine
band, which had been detailed from |
Washington to play for the postal em- |
ployes. In the procession were “dele- |
gates from Philadelphia, New York,
Brooklyn, Baltimore, Washington, |
Wilmington, Del.; Newark, N. J.;
Chester, Pa. ; Albany, N. Y.; Passaic,
N. J.; New Brunswick, N.J., and
Jacksonville, Fla. The parade was
reviewed by Postmaster General Wil-
son and other officials from the bal-
cony of the Union League.
Two thousand visiting and local let-
ter carriers were present at the Acade-
my of Music to-night when a publi
11C
reception was given to the 500 dele-
gates. President McGeoy, of the Key-
stone (Philadelphia) branch of the Na-
tional association presided, and seated
upon the stage were Postmaster Gener-
al Wilson; Postmaster Dayton, of
New York, and Carr, of Philadelphia,
and other prominent heads of postal
seryice throughout the country. ;
Chairman McGeoy formally welcom-
ed the delegates to this city to which
C. C. Cowden, of Cleveland, president
of the National association, responded.
The Philadelphia letter carriers chorus
sang several selections, and the Post-
master Carr and Mayor Warwick, of
Philadelphia delivered brief addresses
of welcome. The principal address of
the evening was made by Postmaster
General Wilsoo.

headache, the agonizing itching and
pain of salt rheum, are removed by

Cottolene.
De A BATCH OF BISCUITS.
Sift one quart of flour, two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and one teaspoonful
of salt into a bowl; add three teaspoonfuls of COTTOLENE and rub together until thorough-
ly mixed ; then add sufficient milk to make a soft dough; knead slightly, roll out about
half an inch thick, and cut with a small biscuit cutter. Place a little apart in a greased pan,
and bake in a quick oven for fifteen minutes. These biscuits should be a delicate brown top
and bottom, light on the sides, and snowy white when broken open.
The secret of success in this recipe, as in others, is to use but two-thirds as much Cotto-
lene as you used touse of lard. Cottolene will make the biscuit light, delicious, wholesome.
Better than any biscuit you ever made before. Try it. Be sure and get genuine COTTO-
LENE. Sold everywhere in tins with trade-marks—*“Cottolene” and steer’s head in cotton-
plant wreath—on every tin. 7

Be PROFITS ——een ON
SMALL INVESTMENTS.
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 be made by our
Sibo SYSTEMATIC PLAN OF SPECULATION
originated by us. All successful speculators operate on a regular systern.
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.
