FARM NOTES.
—When clover and manure do not seem
to improve the land then resort should be
had to mineral fertilizers, which contain
phosphates and potash. Lime will some-
times effect a wonderful change also and
should be applied at least once in three
years.
—1It is not desirable to have plants start
off too early in the spring, as sometimes
happens when the weather becomes mild,
for the reason that a cold spell may follow
and damage result. The best preventive
of loss is to mulch the plants, so as to keep
the ground at as uniform temperature as
possible.
—Grapes should be trimmed now, while
the weather is cold. If they arc trimmed
in the spring they will bleed ; that is, sap
will run from the ends of the shoots that
have been cut and the vines will be weak-
ened. If cut now these ends will be heal-
ed by the time sap begins to flow and the
liability of damage will he reduced.
—Permanent pastures should be sown to
mixed grasses, and very early in the spring
is the time. Have the top soil fine and
lightly brush the seed in or the birds will
get a large proportion. Do not be tempted
to use the pasture for stock until a good
sod has formed. Give the grass an op-
portunity to become well rooted and es-
tablished.
—Handle the cgv's teats gently these
cold mornings. M@ny a milker has been
kicked over by a gentle cow because he
grabbed her teats like a pump handle when
they were cold. If the teats chap or get
scratched, there is nothing better than vase-
line for keeping them soft and healing
them. Keep asmallcan of it in the stable,
and apply a little whenever the teats feel
hard or rough.
—An ice house is a necessary adjunct to
every creamery. It should be built separate
from the creamery. A house 20 feet long,
16 feet wide and 10 feet high will hold
about 100 tons of ice. If an abundance of
very cold water is at hand less ice will be
needed. It is always best, however, to
have plenty of ice, and for the ordinary
creamery 100 tons is a safe quantity.
—1It costs only about 10 per cent. more
to keep a fresh winter cow than a dry one,
that is if the dry cow is kept as well as she
ought to be in order to do well the follow-
ing summer. Add to this that the winter
milk is worth on the average 30 per cent.
more than the summer milk, and we see
the superior economy of making the cow
do her best work at that portion of the year
when it costs the most to keep her.
—Professor Plum, of Purdue University,
in his work on corn culture, says he finds
it satisfactory to put seed corn on the ear
in common brown coffee sacks, which are
hung from the rafters to cure, away from
rats and mice. The essentials in preserv-
ing seed corn are to dry it thoroughly be-
fore hard freezing weather and to keep it
secure from ratsand mice. Any plan that
secures this will be satisfactory.
—The old wells on many farms may be
regarded in the nature of an incumbrance.
If every man that sells a farm would re-
serve the well and remove it with the per-
sonal property it would often be fortunate
for his successor. It has always remained |
where it was first located. Successive |
owners have re-arranged the buildings but |
never disturbed the well. What was once
a good location may now he a very poor
one.

—A correspondent of an exchange says |
the best method of killing Canada thistles |
is to cut the thistle when it is in blossom, |
one foot or more from the ground ; take |
one-third salt and two-thirds saltpetre, |
grand fine, take a pinch with finger and |
thumb, and place on top of each thistle |
stalk. After they are well withered, set |
fire to the patch. The fire will go as far as |
the saltpetre has gone, which is known to :
be 10 to 12 feet deep.
— Whenever “the weather becomes warm |
more eggs are seeured from the hens. This
demonstrates that warmth is very im-
portant in winter if the hens are expected
to lay. In addition toa mess of corn at
night the fowls should be given meat in
the morning. One of the best foods for
producing eggs is blood. It is mixed with
cornmeal, cooked in a bag, in water, and
given twice or three times a week. It can
frequently be had from slaughter houses at
at small cost.
—Whenever farmers begin a policy of
crossing different breeds of fowls there is a
speedy tendency in their flocks to run out.
The reason is because the cross-bred fowls
are mongrels, and unless always bred toa
pure breed of some kind, their progeny
cannot be depended on for either of the
good qualities of the varieties crossed. In
all cases where violent crosses have been
made, the males for breeding should be
pure bred of the breed that seems to pre-
dominate in the first cross of chickens.
—Maryland has a law requiring the
horticulturist of the State experiment sta-
tion to inspect all nurseries in the State
once a year, and oftener if necessary. The
objeet is to prevent the dissemination of
insect pests and diseases upon nursery
stock. The law prohibits the sale of trees
or plants without a certificate from the in-
spector, under a penalty of $100 for each
tree, vine or plant so disposed of. Infected
stock must be destroyed. The law works
well, and it is believed that other States
will enact similar legislation.
—When cattle, horses or sheep, are fed |
very concentrated and nitrogenous foods
they will often show a decided liking for
grain straw, which if fed on alone could
not be eaten in sufficient quantities to sus-
tain life.
in the straw is first, more of the car-
bonaceous element of food, and, secondly,
something that will distend their stomachs
while furnishing little nutrition. In this
respect the domestic animals are wiser than
man, who, when he can get it, overloads
his stomach with indigestible food and then
resorts to drugs instead of to more bulky
food for relief.
—There are already very small farms
were the expense of keeping two horses is
greater than the profit from the land will
stand. As population becomes more con-
densed the number of such farmers is sure
to increase. With light plows suitable to
be drawn by one horse a good deal of
plowing may be done. If still faster plow-
ing is desired two farmers, each working a
single horse, may unite their forces. This
is the way that French farmers do. And
we have seen the same practice near some
American cities. It is chiefly in drawing
manure that the two-horse team is most
essential, for it is the practice to make the
manure box very large, so that two goop
horses are required to draw it.

What this fattening stock seeks |
Mystery of Gems.
The mass of superstition about jewels
died out among cultured people in the
seventeenth century. Half way through
the eighteenth century we find the learned
congratulating themselves on their escape
from the thralldom. There is an old work
on the subject by Camillus Leonardus that
is delightful reading ; the list of gems in-
cludes many we do not have to-day and
others that never existed outside of the
author’s imagination. The alecora, for ex-
ample, makes a man invisible. Then,
‘‘being held in the mouth, it allays thirst
It
is said that Milo, the famous wrestler,
owed his success to the fact that he wore
this stone. This stone is to be found but
in one place, the intestines of a capon that
has lived seven years. ‘‘When the stone
has become perfect in the capon.’’ says this
old writer, ‘‘he doesn’t drink. However,
’tis never bigger than a large hean.”’
The virtues of coral are many. It keeps
off ghosts, bad dreams, storms and ‘‘every
incursion of wild beasts.”” It cures a long
list of diseases. ‘I have it from a credit-
able person,” says Leonardus, ‘‘and have
often experienced it myself, that it will
prevent infants, just born, from falling into
epilepsy. Let there be put in the mouth
of the child, before it has tasted anything,
half a scruple of the powder or red coral
and let it be swallowed ; for it is a won-
derful preserver.”
Another curious stone of which Leon-
ardus speaks is the bezoar, which was a
“red, dusty, brittle and light stone,’’ taken
from the body of some animal, and said to
be a preventive of melancholy. Queen
Elizabeth had one of these stones ; Charles
V. had four of them.
Superstition still lingered at the time
George III was crowned. One of the
jewels fell from the coronation crown and
the king reproved the master of ceremonies.
“‘It was true, sir, there was some neglect, ”’
replied the unfortunate earl of Effingham,
“but I have taken care that the next cor-
onation shall be regulated in the exactest
manner possible.” The falling of the
jewel was taken asa bad omen and the
superstitious said some bad loss would be-
fail England. Sure enough, she lost the
North American colonies.
The Romans tied little bunches of coral
around the necks of their children, and to
this day coral necklaces and ornaments are
given children. The superstition about
opals is modern. No ill omen was at-
tached to these stones hefore the present
century. On the contrary, the ancients
esteemed no stonemore highly. The stone
is supposed to be good for the eyesight.
The opal is a treacherous stone and ex-
perts are often deceived if they buy stones
before they are polished. The opal is liable
to go ‘‘off color’’ and of a sudden became
opaque and ugly. Hungary, Queensland
and Mexico supply most of the opals, the
best coming from Hungary. Opals are
sensitive and vary in brilliance according
to the temperature.
Engraved gems in the middle ages were
supposed to possess all kinds of virtues. A
“bird with-an olive leaf in bill, cut in
pyrites and set ina silver ring—having
this on thy right hand, thou shalt be in-
vited to every feast and those present shall
not eat but gaze on thee.”” More useful
| from a commercial point of view is the |
design of a man standing on a dragon and
holding a sword, set ina leaden or iron
ring. ‘Then all the spirits that dwell in
darkness shall obey the wearer and shall
reveal unto him ina low-toned song the
place of hidden treasure and the mode of |
winning the same.”’
Caught Starting a Fire.
Adoiph Meyzr Found Trying to Burn a Big Tenement |
House.
a tailor, 39 years old,
who lives with his wife and family on
the second floor of a big tenement at
East One Hundred and Thirteenth street,
a neigh-
bor starting a kerosene fire at the bottom
of a dumbwaiter shaft in the cellar of
his home recently. He was ar-
rested by policeman Murtha, as he was
trying to escape along the street, chased by
Adolph Meyer,
{ the man who surprised him.
The tenement house is occupied by twen-
ty families, four on each floor. Frederick
Biddle, who lives on the third floor, went
down stairs to the cellar for a pail of coal
about 9 o’clock. As he opened the cellar
door, smoke, mingled with the fumes of
kerosene, poured into his face. He rushed
down the stairs, and, groping his way
through a hall that leads from the front to
the rear of the building, saw flames at the
bottom of the dumbwaiter shaft that runs
from the cellar to the roof along the back
wall. In the glow of the flames he saw a
man rushing away into the shadow of a
lot of coal bins.
He gave a shout up through the hall to
his brother-in-law, Albert McMullen, who
was standing in the haliway, McMullen ran
down in answer to his call but the man in
the cellar had become alarmed, and rush-
ing past Biddle escaped through a base-
ment door to the street. McMullen follow-
ed the sound of Biddle’s voice down to the
cellar, and discovering for himself what
was the matter, turned his attention to the
fire.
Biddle bad followed the incendiary out
to the street, and, calling at the top of his
voice for some one to stop him, went in
hot chase after him himself. A number of
passers-by joined him, but the man would
have escaped had not policeman Murtha,
hearing the noise, rushed to meet the flee-
ing man, who was so excited that he ran
directly into the policeman’s arms.
The prisoner was taken to the East One
Hundred and Fourth street station house,
where he gave his name. Neither Biddle
nor McMullen, who had put out the fire
and had followed, were known to him.
When searched, a pint bottle that still
contained some kerosene, was found upon
him. He had been so excited that he had
forgotten to throw it away.
Meyer confessed to Captain Moynihan
than that he had tried to fire the building.
“I don’t know what possessed me to do
this,” he said. ‘I have a good home and
a good wife, and Iam not in want.” He
told the captain that he had $500 insur-
ance on his furniture, and, considering the
character of the building, the loss he would
have sustained in a complete burning out
would have been fully covered.
How did Buffalo scenery affect you ?
asked the newspaper native of his visitor,
who had just come in from a trolley ride
on the avenues.
I was very much impressed, was the
reply.
I thought you’d be, said the native,
proudly. What impressed you the most ?
That fat woman who was standing on
my toe most of the way down.
—— ‘Bridget, how does yer like that
lady yer lives wit ?”’
“Lady! She’s nolady. She cooms out
an’ helps me git ther brekfuss.”’
“x Fated a Rail.”
Samuel Palatha Confesses that He Caused the Cahaba
Disaster.
Samuel Palatka has confessed to having
caused the Cahaba bridge disaster, which
occurred three weeks ago near Blocton,
Ala., and in which thirty-five persons wip
killed.
“I pulled a rail,”’ he said, ‘‘put it across
the track and the whole business seemed to
fall. There were plenty of dead folks with
money—one man had $500—but before I
could get it the live ones got up and the
crowds came I skipped out then.’’
The wreck was caused by the removal of
a rail on the middle span of the bridge.
The train plunged into the shallow river,
110 feet below. It took fire after the fall
and burned to the edge of the water, which
was between three and four feet deep.
After the crash one or more robbers
rushed to the scene and plundered the dead
and dying. >
This hardened criminal, a Hungarian
tramp, as no individual but one schooled
in crime could have carried out such a
bloody deed, tells of how he accomplished
his purpose to wreck the train and rob the
dead, in the coolest manner and seems not
to regret his action in the least. He has
confessed to the deed and, should his state-
ments prove true, speedy justice, to its
fullest extent, should be meted out to this
most daring and cruel of recent murderers.
The fact of this man being a foreigner is
but another instance where we have ad-
mitted and harbored a man who, from his
actions, has proven that he is a sample of
the class that is undesirable in his native
land and is dumped upon our shores to be
a menace to the life and safety of American
citizens. The immigration laws cannot be
made too severe upon men of this char-
acter.
Is the Militia Needed?
We see that Governor Hastings has ac-
cepted an invitation to have the Pennsylva-
nia militia go to Washington on the oeca-
sion of the inauguration of Mr. McKinley.
We would like to ask this question, does it
serve any useful purpose to crowd the na-
tional capital with soldiers when the chief
magistrate of the republic is inducted into
office ? As far as we can discern there is
not the least bit of good in a parade of mili-
tary once every four years in Washington,
and, besides, the spectacle of men marching
around with guns and bayonets is quite at
variance with the inauguration of an
American president, who holds his office,
not by the might of the soldiery, but by
the will of the civilians of the country.
The silly custom has been carried to ex-
travagant lengths. It would not be so bad
if a few companies of soldiers paraded in
Washington on the 4th of March, but to
have thousands of them filling up the
streets is an aping of anti-American ideas
that has begun to excite the disapproba-
tion, we are pleased to note, of not a few
persons and members of the press.
The proposition, when first announced,
of sending the Pennsylvania militia to
Washington on March 4th, did not meet
with an outburst of approval. Never be-
fore, as far as we are aware, was any dis-
sent expressed to the state’s soldier, partici-
| pating in such a pageant, and from these
| facts we conclude that the people are ac-
| quiring views on the matter that may re-
{ fult in making the present inaugural trip
| to Washington the last our Natsonal Guard
i will take.— Ev.
Canada in a Quandary.
i She Must Have Reciprocity With the United States or
Press Closer to England.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—John Charlton,
| for 26 years a liberal member of the Cana-
| dian House of Commons, said to-day that
| Canada will attempt in the near future to
[ obtain a treaty of reciprocity in trade with
I the United States, a treaty that will admit
ito freedom of interchange all natural
products, and will cover in addition as
| wide a list of manufactured articles as the
just equilibrium of mutual interests shall
require. Mr. Charlton added that Canada
| is now standing at the parting of the ways.
[On the one hand are more friendly and
business relations with the United States
and the gradual closing of the gap which
has been widening since 1866. On the
other hand are imperial confederation, and
a British system embracing the motherland
and all of her colonies ; improved steam-
ship and cable service, differential duties
in England in favor of the colonies, and in
the colonies in favor of England, colonial
representation in the imperial government,
and a movement for the consolidation and
unification of all scattered outposts of Bri-
tain’s domain. When Canada shall pre-
sent her overtures to the government of
the United States for more extended trade
relations the latter will decide upon which
of these ways she shall enter.

Mother McKinley Going Too.
President-elect McKinley has made his
wants known relative to how he wishes to
go to Washington. His mother, brother
and nieces will accompany him. On ac-
count of the age of his mother, Mr. Mec-
Kinley has made a special request of the
Pennsylvania company that the train bear-
ing the presidential party to Washington
will run on a slow schedule, in order not
to have too great a strain on the old lady.
Major McKinley's escort will leave about
four or five hours before the presidential
train, in order that the former may arrive
in Washington in time to get off the dust
of travel and make a presentable appear-
ance when thev escort Major McKinley
from the Ebbitt house where his quarters
have been engaged.
Chairman Hanna will leave Cleveland
for Washington two or three days before
Major McKinley and will be on hand to
ride with him to the latter’s hotel. The
infatitry escort, the 8th regiment, will leave
Canton four hours ahead of Major McKin-
ley on a special train, while the Cleveland
troop will do the same thing at Cleveland,
both arriving in Washington about the
same time. :
Mr. McKinley’s train will consist of two
private cars, one of which will be used for
himself and familv, two sleeping cars, one
baggage car, a dining car and a car for the
transportation of the committee and news-
paper correspondents.
Subtile Flattery.
A certain rector in a Suffolk village, who
was disliked in the parish, had a curate
who was very popular, and, on his leaving,
was presented with a testimonial. This ex-
cited the envious wrath of the rector, and
meeting with an old lady one day, hesaid :
‘I am sursprised, Mrs. Bloom, that you
Shot, have subscribed to this testimon-
ial.
‘Why, sir,’’ said the old lady, "if you'd
bin a-goin, I'd ave subscribed double !’’—

Alas! Poor King.
Of all the boys in the world it is difficult
to point out one who is more to be pitied
than the the little King of Spain: He is a
monarch yet a prisoner. To him freedom
of the real boyish sort is a thing unknown.
He is the-slave of tutors and courtiers. He
can do nothing without the solemn approv-
al beforehand, of his teachers and mentors.
The delight of secret raids upon the
‘“‘cookie’’ jar is to him a thing undreamed
of ; he never knows the joy of pillow fight-
ing, hockey, foot ball orany of the juvenile
sports that other boys engage in, and his
daily life is a dismal routine of lessons,
ceremonies and debilitating flummery
which every sound-bodied American lad
would vote a heart breaking bore. The
little king is a mild mannered, generous
lad who is greatly beloved by those who
surround him, but he chafes under the re-
straints and envies the freedom of the
other fellows of his own age whose sports he
watches from the palace windows. They
are the exemplars of liberty, while he, poor
little fellow, is only a king!
Her Version.
Our Poet, who has been known to now
and then tell the truth, tells this story of
his little daughter. Her mother overheard
her expounding the origin of sex to her
family of dolls. :
“You see, childerns,”’ she said, ‘‘Adam
was a man all alone, and he was ever so
lonely-ponely, and Dod put him to sleep,
and then he took his brains out and made
a nice lady for him.”’— From Illustrated Bits.
The Accommodating Doctor.
While escorting a lady home the other
evening, a popular doctor attempted to re-
lieve her cough and sore throat by giving
her a lozenge. He told her to allow it to
dissolve gradually in her mouth. No relief
was experienced ; and the doctor felt quite
chagrined the next day when the lady sent
him a coat button, with a note saying that
he must have given her the wrong kind of
lozenge, and that he might have need of
this one.
