Farm Notes.
—The dry season that has passed
—should induce farmers’ clubs to discuss
irrigation by the aid of windmills and
engines.
—A great deal more honey would
be consumed in the cities if the un-
adulterated article could be procured,
and its purity vouched for.
—It you don’t think the best stock
pore look around through your neigh-
orhood and see 1f “the best farmers |’
don’t keep the best stock. -
~—English sheep growers litter the
pens in which sheep are housed with
burt clay asa preventive®f foot rot.
The clay acts as an absorbent and
makes a good fertilizer.
—Do not try to batch chicks with
hens in midwinter unless you are will-
ing to devote time in caring for the
broods. Hens cannot raise chicks in
winter unless kept in a warm place.
—One reason cattle will go out in
the barnyard during inclement weath-
er and endure cold and dampness in
preference to remaining inside is that
the stalls are too dark and cheerless.
—When sulphur is given toanimals
in winter it is liable to cause them to
take cold, ae it opens the pores of the
skin. It is said to also cause rheu-
matiem if given during damp weather.
—Instead of using medicine as
caihartics, give the animals linseed
meal regularly, which is not harmful,
but on the contrary, is a nutritious
food, which is beneficial in many re-
spects, especially to-cattle and horses.
—W indows of poultry houses should
be placed on the south or southeast
side, as the warmth of the sun will
enter sooner in the morning. The in-
terior of the poultry house should have
Plenty of light and warmth, in order to
eep all portions dry and free from
dampness.
—A cold barn at night and ice-cold
water in the morning is a practice
which should not be followed, if the
cows are desired to keep up their flow
of milk. It costs more food to make
the animals warm than when they are
provided with warm quarters and given
water that is tepid.
—Every man who contemplates go-
ing into the fruit business should first
vigit an experienced specialist in the
particular line he is going to engage in
and get all the information possible so
as to start aright. This precaution
may save lots of trouble, and probably
avoid failure in the end.
—This is the season of the year
when the pig pen is a mess of filth
and slop, and but for the cold weather
would give off an intolerable odor.
Keep the pen well filled with earth
and absorbent material, and give the
pigs a dry bed, protected from storms.
By making them comfortable less food
will be required.
—Every young orchard is liable to
be badly damaged, if not ruined, by
the rabbits, if the trees are not pro-
tected in some way. In small orchards
the best protection is corn stalks tied
around the tree. These will last for
two seasons. They will also prevent
trees from blistering during the hot
summer weather.
—In every fruit-growing -neighbor-
hood there ought to be a live, active
horticultural society. © When once
started they soon become interesting,
and all are profited who take part
therein. The farmer who grows fruit
just for home consumption may learn
much that will profit him in his work
by taking part in such meetings.
—The field to plow under for corn is
one that has been in clover this year,
and especially if weeds are taking pos-
session and killing out the clover, as
cultivation of the corn crop will kill
the weeds. If plowed in the fall or
winter the sod may be cross-plowed in
the spring, which will form an excel-
lent seed bed for the corn and give it a
good start.
—This is the season when farmers
the
should book their names with
seedsmen for seed catalogues, so as to
select for the coming year and be fully
prepared for work when it is time to
begin operations in the spring. Orders
for seed should be sent early, as ‘ there
are delays every year, owing to the or-
ders in the spring crowding in within
a brief period of time.
—There is one kind ot fruit that has
never yet overstocked the market, and
that is the quince.
good demand for quinces and they
bring paying prices, as they are not
grown in as large amounts as peaches;
pears and apples,
should be used, but before planting
largely of them, one should be certain
that the variety most suitablet® the
eoil is selected.
—A harvester and binder that is
placed where snows can drift in on it
and perhaps be soaked when the snow
melts, will be in no condition for work
when it is wanted for use next sum-
mer. Such costly appliances as har-
vesters, threshers, fanning milis, tread
powers, etc., will break any farmer
who does not properly shelter them.
Repairs on the farm make quite an
item, and much of such work could
be avoided.
—By dividing an acre of land into
four plots and seeding down each plot
after it has been pastured, Professor
Shaw, at the Minnesota Experiment
Station, kept sixteen sheep on one acre
without any other food but that which

Carlisle’s Great Strength.
Two Kentuckians were discuesing
Carlisle in a group at the Metropolitan,
one upholding the Secretary and the
other belittling him. The former said
Carlisle was growing every day more
popular in his native State, and in
time he might have votes enough to
make him President. ml
“Why,” said he, “two men I know
of have named their new babies after
the smartest man in the couniry—
John G. Carlisle.”
The other Kentudkian demanded to
know the names of these fond fathers,
and when told exclaimed : fo
“Why, Jim Short’s baby ain't bora
et.”
“I know it.” replied the other, “but
he has written to Carlisle that when it
is he will name it after him.”
“Pghaw,” returned the Secretary’s
enemy, “that’s the trouble with all of
Carlisle’s strength—it ain’t born yet.

A few days use of Pineola Balsam
and the danger is past. It is the right
thing for coughs. Better than any
other mixtures. Better than any other
medicine, whatever, for that cough—
that tearing, sleep-killing, anxiety-
breeding, dangerous cough. Ely’s Pin-
eola Balsam cures sore throat, and is
quick and sure in all bronchial affec-
tions. It will relieve the cough at once.
It makes breathing much easier and the
spasms less severe in cases of asthma.

CurTive ACQUAINTANCE. —There are
some acquaintances we would be glad to
cut. They do us no credit and draw
too largely upon our kindness and cash.
Other acquaintances there are that
drain our life’s blood and sap our vitali-
ty. Dyspepsia and its accompanying
evils, impure blood, mental depression,
night mares, fear and nervousness are
-acquaintances to be disposed of with all
celerity. Heed this, ye sufferers | Take
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
and your unpleasant acquaintances will
soon be gone, for this sovereign remedy
drives out all the impurities from the
system. The only blood- purifier so cer-
tain in curative action that it can be
sold on ?rial. See guarantee of cure
with bottle.
——We will have to get our oranges
this year from southern California, and
for years to come, until the Florida or-
chards once more abound in their delic-
ious product. Nothing has yet been
found to take the place of the Florida
orange in public favor. A report from
California puts the number of cars of
oranges that will be signed eastward
from the southern part of that State this
winter at 10,000 to 11,000 cars, as
Bnain% only 7,000 last year. The bulk
of these shipments will not be under
way until the middle of January. The
California orange-growers are having
oe eastern market pretty much to them-
selves.
CATARRH IN THE HEAD.—Is due to
impure blood and cannot be cured with
local applications. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
has cured hundreds of cases of catarrh
because it purifies the blood and in this
way removes the cause of the disease.
It also builds up the system and pre-
vents attacks of pneumonia, diphtheria
and typhoid fever.
Hood’s Pills become the favorite ca-
$harvie with every one who tries them.

the new shortening, like all other things must be rightly used if you wish the

as you used to use of lard. Never put Cottoleue in a hot pan. Put it in when
cold and heat it with the pan. Be careful not to burn Cottolene. To test it, add
a drop of water; if hot enough, it willpop. Cottolene, when rightly used, de
