Farm Notes.
—Connecticut is one of the latest
states to enact a *‘good roads law.”
—The advice is to eow crimson
clover in the fall as early as is practic:
able.
--Hop growing in New York state
is an industry of important dimen-
£i0D8.
—A flowering plant is said to ab-
stract from the soil 200 times its own
weight of water.
—Next to Bermuda onions the
finest white onions raised in Connecti-
cut are about the best sent to market.
—Many a worthless bog, if drained
and cultivated a few seasons until in
fine condition, will make the very-best
of grass land.
—The absolute necessity of facing
droughts and dry spells is evident.
We can no longer speak of irrigation
as a western topic.
—Counnecticut and Housatonic val-
ley farmers are waking up to the pos-
sibilities of the warehouse system of
farmers’ exchange idea applied to the
tobacco crop.
—People in large numbers, who
wish to go into the business of fruit
growing, are now looking toward the
south for favorable localities. The
localities are there.
—In the eastern states with spray-
ing both Fameuse and Talman sweet
apples do well and are fairly profitable.
Unless put in cold storage, however,
the Fameuse dissappears in December.
—Russian horses have particularly
shapely necks and fine, high spirited
heads. They are very pure gaited as
well and thoroughly trained. A Rus
sian high school horse can show more
tricks, gaits and dances than an aver-
age circus pony.
—XKill all the young potato bugs.
Some people allow them to have full
sway after the potato vines have blos-
somed. This is a mistake ; the bugs
will be on hand in the spring to con-
tinue the business at the old stand.
Their number could be materially les:
sened each year if the potato tops were
Paris greened whenever there are bugs
on them, even though it be late in the
geason.
—You know the German people as a
nation are very thrifty. They don’t
allow much waste in any quarter.
- Along their public highways are plant-
ed different varieties of fruit trees—
pears, apples, plums, etc.—grow in one
or two rows on each side of the road.
How beautiful those roads are! The
trees produce shade, which takes
away that glitter and glare, as well as
softens ‘the heat, which make our
gravel roads very disagreeable to trav-
el on during the hot months. In many
quarters of our country = maple or
walnuts have been planted for miles
along the public roads, and how wel:
come euch a stretch of road is to the
traveler, and how inviting it must be
to the hot and weary horse. It it were
only for the shade, trees should be
planted along every main highway.
But wherever we can combine utility
with beauty and comfort we should do
it; so why not plant the more thrifty
truit trees along our public roade ?
—The only successful way to grow
pork is to keep pigs in thrifty growing
condition from birth. This does not
mean that they shall be fattened, for
the kind of food given them ought not
to be largely fat producing. But they
will be always ready with a little ex-
tra feeding to make the very best pork.
Such pigs hardly need any extra prep-
aration for heavy grain feeding, for
their whole life has been so regular
that their digestive organs will be
ready for anything. Still it is well be-
fore beginning to feed corn heavily to
give the pigs a full diet of some food
that will distend but not overload the
stomach. What is wanted is some
fruit or vegetable that will digest eas:
ily. The old plan of boiling apples,
small potatoes and pumpkins, mixing
in with this some fine wheat middlings
makes an excellent diet. If some corn-
meal is added and the cornmeal grad-
ually increased, the hogs may be fat
tened into the best and sweetest pork
on this ration. Such pork will have
no fever in it, for there was po fever
from indigestion in the animal that
was fed with it. This is what makes
very fat corn fed pork so difficult of
digestion by people whose stomachs
are not strong.
StoriNG PoraToEs.—A perfect ‘store
place is capable of being kept quite
dark and cool, but quite so safe from
frost. Therefore it should be at least
partially under the ground level, as
being the easiest way of keeping frost
at bay. If stored in sheds, they
should not be put into large masses
directly after they are lifted, for they
are liable to generate more warmth
than is good for them, but if spread
out rather thinly at first, they may, af
ter a fortnight, be placed much thick.
er without any barm. But where
large quantities have to be kept
through the winter there is no better
plan than placing them in mounds,
according to the Gardener's Magazine,
which advises as follows: Select a
place a little above the general level
80 as to be quite eafe from flooding af-
ter heavy rains, and having marked
out the space required, put on a good
layer of straw. Proceed to pack the
potatoes into a conical long heap, cov-
er with straw, and then place a suffi-
cient thickness of soil to keep out
frost, and beat it down so firm and
smooth that the rain will run off into
a trench surrounding it. The top
should not be quite closed up until |
severe frost renders it ‘ necessary to do
80.
It's Beauty Gone.
A forlorn and dreary spot is the site
of the old South Fork dam above
Johnstown. [. was the bursting of
this great dam that flooded Johnstown
in May, 1889. This Conemaugh lake,
as it is sometimes called, was fourteen
miles above the city. Upon 1ts shores
stand twenty fine cottages, mostly own-
ed by wealthy residents of western
Peansylvania. After the lake had gone
and the water accomplished its destruc-
tive work, the place was deserted and
| has only been visited by sight-seers, eag-
er to gaze upon the trap that caused a
calamity known over the world.
Through its broken breast and the cen-
tre of the lake now runs the South Fork
and Dunlo railroad. and right in its
heart a wagon road and a smell bridge
have been erected. The beautiful cot-
tages, deserted and neglected so long,
are gradually decaying. The walks
and handsome lawns are no more, and
the cottage fronts present a very dilap-
idated appearance.
Experience the Best Teacher.
The great value of Dr. David Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy in curing dis-
eases of the blood, particularly the ills
of women, has again been demonstrated.
Mrs. W. J. Anderson of Bruyn St.,
Kingston, N. Y., in speaking of her ex-
perience, says: ‘I was an awful suf-
ferer from troubles common to my sex,
was reduced to 70 lbs. ; four physicians
prescribed for me, but I kept growing
worse. Until I began the use of Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy I
never knew a well day. By its use I
grew stronger the pain less frequent, un.
til it entirely disappeared. I now weigh
125 lbs. and am a well woman. I must
know a dozen women who suffered sim-
ilarly and have been cured by its use.”
Valkyrie.
The name of Lord Dunraven’s yacht
is pronounced Val-ki-ree, with the ac-
cent on the second syllable. The word
signifies “chooser of the slain.”’ = It
comes from the Icelandic Valkyria,
more familiar in the German form,
Walkure. In the Noree mythology it
means one of the virgin -attendants of
Odin, who carry to Valhalla heroes
slain in battle,
——One of the most interesting of
the men made rich recently by the
Cripple Creek mines is We. 5. Stratton,
who owns the Independence mine out-
right and has an interest in other min-
ing properties. He is a carpenter and
three years ago he walked from Col-
orado Springs to the new camp, a dis-
tance of 30 miles in order to save the
fare which amounted to $4. Success
has not spoiled him, although he now
has an income of $1,200,000 a year.

cended the scaffold, ‘see me safe up, and

self.” A dauntless soul erect, who

hand of the headsman, but how many

insidious hand of disease. He put his

mon to your sex.

World's Smallest Republic.
The smallest Republic is probably
that _of Cavolara, an island one mile
wide, situated six miles from the Sar-
dinian coast. The population at pres-
ent numbers 55. Until May 30, 1882,
King Paul I. ruled, but at bis death
the Republic was proclaimed. The
constitution extends tothe women the
right to vote. The president is elected
for a term of six years. The Italian
government acknowledged the au-
tonomy of this minute republic in 1886.
——The men who believed the ca-
lamity howlers and sold and slaugh-
tered their sheep last year probably feel
now like hiring somebody to kick them
for their innocence in disposing of their
mutton. It was a good thing for the
public, however, for it gave them anoth-
er kind of meat when beef was very
high in price. So it was not a loss
without a compensating gain—for some-
body else than the sheep owners. Per-
haps the latter will not be so ready to
put confidence in the calamity howlers
in the future. Their dear bought ex-
perience may be of some use.
Books, Magazines Etc.
Fiction and travel are the strong points of
the September Cosmopolitan, which by the
way, illustrates better than any previous num-
ber ihe perfection of its plant for printing a
magazine of the highest class. Conan Dayle,
H. H. Boyesen, and Clark Russell are among
the story-tellers. A well-known New York
lawyer relates the story of ‘A Famous Crime”
—the murder of Doctor Parkman by Professor
Webster. A delightful sketch of ‘An English
Country House Party” is from the pen of Nina
Larre Smith—the house at which she visited
being no less than the historic Abbotsfords
stili occupied by the direct descendants of
Sir Walter Scott. “The Realm of the Wonder*
ful” is descriptive of the strange forms of life
discovered by science in the ocean’s depths’
and is superbly illustrated in a surprising and
marvelous way by the author, who is a
member of the Smithsonian staff. An article
on Cuba is timely. Without bothering the
reader with unnecessary description of the
famous yachts now so much talked of, The
Cosmopolitan presents four full-page illustra-
tions showing these noted boats. Thomas
Moran again contributes a series of the most
exquisite landscapes of western scenery,
twelve in number, illustrating an article by
Col. John A. Cockerill, on “Modern Utah.»
And it may be said that no mcre beautifully il-
lustrated number of The Cosmopolitan has
ever been given to the public.
Edward Bok, the editor of The Ladies Home
Journal, has written a book for young men
called “Successward : A Young Man's Book
for Young Men,” which the Revells will pub-
lish in a fortnight. The book aims to cover
all the importint phases of a young man’s life,
his business life, social life, his amusements,
religious life, dress, his attitude toward wo.
men and the question of his marriage. This
is Mr. Bok’s first book.
Abraham Lincoln’s sentimental perplexitie®
are to ba shown in an article of singular inter-
est which John Gilmer Speed has written
from unpublished letters of Lincoln to Joshua
Speed, for the next issue of The Ladies Home
Journal. The article will show that the great
President was not steady in his affairs of the
heart, that he floundered in his love, and fin-
ally induced his friend, Speed to marry and
tell him (Lincoln) whether marriage was a
tailure or not.

Deafness, Ringing Noises and Catarrh Cured by
Dr. Salm.
For along time I noticed that I became
radually harder and harder of hearing.
inging noises came in the ear after a while,
and I became very much alarmed. So I went
to Dr. Salm and put myself under his care and
to-day I am grateful to state,and forthe bene-
fit of those who may suffer in alike manner
that I can hear once again as good as ever,and
those infernal noises have disappeared, al-
though I am nearly 60 years old. Dr. Salm
said all of it was caused by catarrh: M, B.

A Lady 69 Years Old Cured of Catarrh and
Deafness.
Some years ago I contracted catarrh and it
went to my ears. Gradually I became worse
and my ears began to trouble me very much,
my strength began to give out, and I "became
weaker and weaker so that I was not able to
work. I took treatment from several of our
doctors in the county, but somehow they
couldn’t do me any good ; so I went to see Dr.
Salm. He promised to cure me, and I dare
say, he kept his word, for to-day I am again
stout and healthy as could be expected of any
one of my age, 69 years, and I find that I got
value received for the money paid to the doc-
tor. Mrs. Jacop D.FiNpLEY.

Thought His Time Had Come but was Cured by
Dr. Sali.
For some years I have been suftering very
much with various ailments and broke down
at last. I suffered most excrutiating pain from
head to foot all the time. My stomach troub-
led me a good deal, liver and kidneys as well
were out of order; in fact, I thought my time
had come. The doctors couldn't do me any
good : patent medicines had no effect; so I
went at last to Dr. Salm, and after a course of
treatment, I am now again as hale and hearty
and strong as ever. F. L. CoNFER.

Scrofulous Limb of 8 Years Standing Cured.
Tor the last 8 years I have had fearfully sore
limbs ; they would swell and break open and
run; giving me a world of trouble, and mak-
ing me unfit for my daily labor. I have had
four Doctors trying to cure me, but they
could’nt do it. At last I went {to Dr. Salm, who
made a perfect and complete cure, and I feel
as if I could enjoy life once more.

Growth Removed from
Salm.
For 10 years my wife, Susanna, had some-
thing grove over her eyes, making her al-
most blind. Dr. Salm performed an operation,
and made a perfect success, as she can now
again thread the finest needle, and read the
finest print, and her eyes do not give her the
least trouble. It was a fine piece of work.

For the last 4 years I have been troubled

also seemed to affect my general health. Dr.
Salm has cured me. I can again see splendid.

After Total Blindness Made to See by Dr. Salm.
About 1 year ago my brother accidentally
«hit me in my left eye, with a bow-gun. I be-
an to get blind rapidly in that eye, and ina
short time, could'nt see anything outof it;
total blindness was cauesd by the hurt. 1
heard so much of Dr. Salm’s wonderful suc-
cess in his eye operations, that I went to him
and he has once more proven his wonderfu
skill on ‘my eye. For to-day, after having
been totally blind, I can see splendidly out of
the same again. Josep HENRY,
