Farm Notes.
en =
—XKeep the manure pile steadily
growing,
— Increase the feed of fattening ani-
mals.
—Carrots are much reliehed by cat-
tle as well as horses.
—The value of a pullet as a layer is
uncertain until she has been tried.
—A large-sized orchard needs con-
stant resetting in order to makeit do
its best.
—1f the farmer is out of debt he is
much better off than themerchant and
manufacturer who are in debt. There
is comfort in that thought.
—Trees in an orchard that is never
manured exhaust the fertility in the
soil within reach of their roots, and
then fail to bear as well as was ex-
pected.
—Do not feed your hens too much,
if they are confined without exerciee, if
you do not want them to get broody.
Even the non-sitting breeds will be-
come broody if overfed aud under
exercised.
—1In the early fall is the best time
to apply manure to fruit trees. that it
may get the benefit of the fall raine,
which wash its soluable parts into the
soil. This starts an early growth in
the spring. It is not best that the most
luxuriant growth be made while the
fruit is maturing.
—The younger a pig the less meal it
will take to put on a pound ot pork. Tt
is well 10 supplement the pasture with
an abundant ration of chopped grain,
that they may be kept growing as fast
as possible. All grain fed them ehould
be chopped or ground. If possible, in
the pasture give them shade and run.
ning water.
—Broiler-raising will pay if it is
made an adjunct of egg-production. It
might also do hy iteelt if conducted by
one having experience, but it is a good
business for the amateur to keep out of
or to attempt’only on a very limited
scale. Eternal vigilance is the price of
success, and sometimes the payment is
made in vain.
—The question of feeding for eggs is
probably the most important one un-
der consideration in the winter season.
Io coneidering this factor in poultry
raising the cost of the feed must be
kept prominently in the foreground.
It may be possible to fatten turkeys
on imported chestnuts at $8 per bush-
el and produce the finest meat in the
market, but unless the grower can re-
ceive more than fifteen cents per
pound for the turkeys he will not gain
much by the high feeding. So with
the egg raiser. If he must pay more
for the food given to increase egg pro-
duction than the eggs will bring in the
market his work will count for noth-
ing. When a breeder of fine poultry
advocates canary seed for egg produc-
ing in hens he is not giving the best of
practical advice. With the present
prices for canary seed, the poultryman
would never get enough extra eggs to
pay for such high priced food.
Cheap food, or food that can be pre-
pared beforehand for reasonable cost,
can be had on any farm, and it is more |
a question of looking abead a few
months. There is no doubt that egg
producing taxes the strength of the
chickens in cold weather, and in order
to keep them in good nealth it is nec:
essary to feed in two ways. O.e is to
feed for heat and strength, and the
other is to supply the natural constitu-
ents of which an egg is composed.
Generally food that contains the egg
constituents will kave enough fat and
heat producing substances to an-
swer boih purposes. If not food of this
pature must be given iu addition.
To begin with analytic chemists
teil us that the white of an egg is com-
posed of the alkalies potash aod soda.
The yolk contains a larger percentage
of phosphoric acid and lime. The
two together thus contain all of the
above constituents. The proportions
of these ingredients are very different,
however, but the chief thing to take
note of is that lime, nitrogen and phos:
phoric acid are by all odds in the
greatest abundance.
Here we have the very mineral ele-
ments we must feed to the hens to
make them produce an abundance of
eggs in winter. This has no reference
whatever to the hen’s general strength
producing foods, nor to those that
yield animal heat to resist the cold.
Now green boxes probably contain the
largest proportion of the egg ingredi-
ents than any other one substance.
They are rich in phosphoric acid, al-
bumen, and phosphate of lime. When
cut and pulverized by heavy mills the
chickens can digest and assimilate this
. material so easily that it readily pass-
es into the formation of egg shells.
The work of elaborating shell for the |
eggs is thus made purely mechanical,
and does not draw upon the bones and
tissues of the hens. In addition to
this the green bones help to make the
inside of the shells, and when fed in
the right quantity they produce excel
lent results, =
A mixed diet of other things must
supplement the green bone food, and
chief among these ingredients for pro-
ducing eggs and heat and strength are
oats, wheat, buckwheaty— vegetables,
clover, meat scraps, crusts of bread,
etc. All of this variety helps the gen-
eral strength of the birds, and gives
them heat enough to resist cold. The
hens that are laying should be given a
liberal ration just before retiring at
night. [on the morning let the chick-
ens roam around a little to pick up
what they can find. The exercise will
do them good. Then feed them a lib-
eral breakfast, and keep them in warm,
sunny houses. Nature will do the
rest.

An Achievement.
Judge Thatcher of Mississippi was an
obstinate bachelor and rather prided
himself upon having resisted the charms
of lovely woman when on all sides his
friens had fallen victims to the insid-
ious arrows of fite
He was a solemn looking man, but
with plenty of dry humor in his na-
ture. :
He bad a pleasant home, over which
hie relatives sometimes presided.
Upon one occasion a lady called on
some charitable errand and the servants
being out for the moment the judge
answered the bell.
The caller, who was a stranger, asked
for the “madam.”
In a grave and deliberate voice the
judge replied, ‘‘There is no madam.”
The stranger instantly detected a sor-
row and spoke with sympathy in look
and voice: ‘“‘Alag, I see!
a bereavement.
Pardon me
This was too much for the bachelor
pride of the judge, who felt that he
could not be worsted of his years of vie-
torious solitude, so with triumphant re-
membran:e he shouted with joy and an-
imation :
¢‘No, madam, not a bereave-
ment, an achievement, thank heaven—
an achievement!”
Veloclipedes and Tricycles.
There are annually produced in this
country about 300,000 boys’ metal vel-
ocipedes and about 100,000 metal tricy-
cles for girls. There is one establishment
in this city that turns out 1000 veloci-
pedes and 250 tricycles a week. Of
these vehicles about 25,000 -are export-
ed annually to Australia, South Amer-
ica and the West Indies, and some go
to Europe.—New York Sun.
The Difficulty.
“Dear me Jennie, here comes that
awful Mr. Bowers.
“Awful ? Why, I thought you liked
him better than any other mau in this
world.”
“I do ; and I am afraid he'll find it
out.”
——1In = conl mine near Pekin, Ill,
a piece of bituminous coal was recently
dug outon whic was imprinted the
Arabic numerals 306,030, in characters
about an inch in length. Local experts
are considerably exercised over the
stranga discovery. The find was made
125 feet below the surface.
“War I Ear Does ME No Goob.”
—How often this expression is heard —
Life destroying dyspepsia has told on

—The proper season for turkey is
the late fall and winter. In spring and
summer the meat is no longer juicy
nor of good flavor ; though sometimes
served at that time), they are much in-
ferior to the winter uird for a roast.

that electric plows, hoes and potato
diggers will soon be successfully at
work in that country.

The Century for the Coming Year.
The Century Magazine celebrates its
quarter-centennial in its November is-
sue with an ‘‘Aoniversary Number.’
In honor of the occasion it dons a new
dress of type, with new headlines, etc.,
and it appears in a new and artistic
cover. Although The Qentury bas
reached an age tbatis unusual among
American magazines, it continues to
show the youthful vigor and enterprise
that have always characterized it. The
programme that has been arranged for
the coming year contains a number of
interesting features. Much has al-
ready been written concerning Mrs.
Humphry Ward’s new novel, “Sir
George Tressady.”” which has been se-
cured for its pages. There was a very
spirited bidding for this novel on the
part of several prominent publishers,
bwith the result that the author will
probably realize from the serial and
book rights of it one of the largest sums
that has yet been given for a work of
fiction in the English language. The
story describes life in an English
country house, and also touches some-
what upon industrial questions. It be-
gins in the November number with an
account of an English parliamentary
election. It will be the leading feature
in fiction for the coming twelve months
ctber and shorter novels being contribu-
ted by W. D. Howells, F. Hopkinson
Smith, Mary Hallock Foote, and Ame-
lia E. Barr. There will also be con-
yard Kipling (the latter furnishing to
Christmas Century one of the most pow-
erful stories he has ever written) ; a ser-
ies of articleson the great naval en-
gagements of Welson, by Captain Al-
fred T. Mahan, author of ‘Influence of
Sea Power upon History’ ; three bril-
liant articles on Rome, contributed by
Marion Crawford, and superbly illus-
trated by Castaigne, who made the fam-
ous World’s Fair picturesin The Qen-
tury ; a series of articles by George
Kennan, author of ‘Siberia and the
Exile System,” on the Mountains and
the Mountaineers of the Eastern Cauca-
sus, describing a little known people ;
articles by Henry M. Stanley and the
late E. J. Glave on Africa ; a series of
papers on ‘The Administration of the
Cities of the United States,” by Dr. Al-
bert Shaw. The Century will also con-
tain during the year a great number of
papers on ari subjects, richly illustrated.
Prof. Sloane’s “Life of Napoleon,”
with its wealth of illustration, will
reach its most interesting part,—the
rise of the conqueror to the height of his
power, and his final overthrow and ex-
ile. In order that new subscribers may
obtain the whole of this monumental
work, the publishers have made a rate
of $5.00, for which one can have a year’s
subscription, ’95, and all of the num-
bers for the past twelve months, from
the beginning of Prof, Sloane’s history.
“A jest’s prosperity lies in the ear
Of him that hears it, never in the tongue
Of him that makes it.—Shakespeare.
No matter how well worded this para-
graph may be, its usefulness depends
upon the reader. It is written to tell
the sufferer from dyspepsia, deranged
liver, impure blood, constipation, head-
ache, depression, nervousness and other
troubles that Dr. R. V. Pierce’s Pleas-
ant Pellets will cure him quickly and
thoroughly. They work mildly but ef-
ficiently. They put blood and bowels
right, clear the brain and invigorate the
whole system. Dealers everywhere.
——The fish-hooks used to-day are of
precisely the same shape as those em-
ployed 20 centuries ago. The only dif-
ference is in the material. Then they
were of bronze ; now they are of steel.
