FARM NOTES.
—What a great many persons overlook,
but which is more important in churning
than any other portion of the work, is to
note the temperature from time to time.
By so doing there will be a saving of labor,
as churning is prolonged when the tem-
perature is too high or too low.
—We judge of a farmer by his farm, and
of a farm by what we see in passing it,
says a contemporary. If all is neat and
tidy, fences and out-buildings as well as
dwelling house in good repair ; if tools,
wagons and machinery are housed and
painted, and animals sleek and contented,
we are satisfied the owner is a good farmer
and is prosperous.
—Dehorning cattle is now practiced ex-
tensively, but there is a right time for so
doing. The horns should never be remov-
ed when flies and insects are troublesome,
and the instrument should be scrupulously
clean. Late in the fall is an excellent
time for the operation, and it is better to
experiment with a few instead of dehorn-
ing the entire herd. Novices can have the
operation performed by a veterinary sur-
geon, if preferred.
—There is no poorer economy than in
buying a poor harness because it is cheap.
Well-tanned leather with due care will re-
sist dampness, and will keep sound a long
time. Harnesses should never be kept in
the stable. There is too much ammonia
in stables, which will quickly cause a
harness to rot. When used in warm
weather the harness should be cleaned
often, and kept soft and flexible with oil.
—Those who intend to keep any smoked
hams and shoulders for next summer’s use,
should use salt for packing. Itis more clean-
ly, and better in every particular, than
ashes or other articles commonly used. All
that is necessary is to so place the meat
that the pieces will not touch each other,
covering well the top pieces. The salt will
not be wasted, as it may he used over
again, or taken to make brine. Hams
packed in this way will not be musty or
dirty on the outside, nor will they take
any more salt than had been absorbed he-
fore packing.
—Always in saving lettuce seed choose
that which has most leaves, and which has
grown without interruption from the seed.
The practice in many families is to pluck
the leaves three or four times, and when
at last the leaves begin to be tough, let the
plant send up its seed stalks. Usually the
largest crop of seed will come from the
plant that has the fewest leaves. But it
will not be worth planting. Grown for
seed lettuce should be left without disturh-
ing a leaf, each plant will produce very few
seed. Yet seed from this nearly seedless
lettuce is worth any amount of the seed
which is produced in the usual way.
—In preserving eggs for winter use, it
must be understood that the whole secret
is to keep the porous shell from admitting
the air and moisture. If this can be done
the eggs will keep for quitea length of
time. A pickle first is made as follows :
One bushel of fine quality stone lime, eight
quarts of salt, and sixty gallons of water.
Slake the lime well and then add the water
and the salt, stirring well until all is set-
tled and cold. Draw off the clear brine
into a water-tight cask and then put the |
eggs in as soon as taken from the nest.
When a layer of eggs about a foot deep is
put in, a little of the milky brine, made
by stirring up some of the very light lime
particles, should be allowed to settle over
them. Then put in a similar layer and
repeat the operation. Fill the barrel with
eggs within four or five inches of the top
and then cover with a factory cloth ; on
top of this cloth spread a layer of lime
that settled in making the pickle. The
pickle must be kept above this lime to
keep it cool and moist. If the eggs are to
be sent to market they should be taken out
of the brine carefully, and after being thor-
oughly wiped, pack away neatly. They
must not be allowed to get too warm in
summer time, nor too cold in the winter.
An equable degree of modern warmth is
best.
—**Our colts are taught to drink new milk
from the cow when they are but a few days
old. After they learn to drink this freely
a little branis added, and it is not long
till they will take to a bran mash like an
old horse. They learn to eat dry feed from
the manager with their mothers, and after
this there are at anything, bran, oats, oilmeal
and clover are kept where they can help
themselves, sometimes one, sometimes the
other, in order that they may not tire of
either the colts are weaned at 4 or 5
months, and if we bave plenty of cow’s
milk we much prefer the earlier period, as
the colts learn to be in a measure self de-
pendent hefore cold weather comes. When
they are weaned, there is no sudden change
or trouble in getting them to take todry
feed, for they are already used to it, and
as they have been taught to drink milk
from a bucket there is no trouble there.
We find it much more profitable to feed
our skim milk to the colts than to put it
into 2 or 3 cent beef or 4 cent pork.’
“I don’t know how many fail or how
many succeed in raising colts by hand, but
the pride of our colt family one season was
raised this way. Its mother had distemper
so badly that we knew the colt would die
if not weaned. As it was the most val-
uable both by breeding and individuality
of anything on the farm we did not want
to lose it. The first week it was fed fresh
cow’s milk, all it wanted, every three
hours, to which had been added one-fourth
water and one spoonful of sugar. The
next week the water was left out, and the
third week we began to use a little oil-
meal gruel. The gruel was made by pour-
ing boiling water over the oilmeal, letting
it stand three or four hours. The amount
of meal used at first was but a few spoon-
fuls per day, but was increased until one
pint per day was given.’’
‘I do not know how much of this ‘‘fuss’’
was unnecessary, but I do know that this |.
colt was the best one in a ring of eight at
our county fair as a weanling and took
first money as a yearling at the World’s
Fair. After the other colts were weaned
this one was put in the lot with them and
now receives the same care and feed as the
others do. A growing colt needs to be fed
heavier than a mature horse, and in some
particulars the feed needs to be varied
from the bill of fare that is .given to older
horses. Our winter ration is made up of
clover hay, corn fodder, oats, oilmeal,
bran and all the milk that can be spared.
When we do not have the oats the bran
and oilmeal ration is increased and makes
a most excellent substitute.’ ?

A Woman's Strong Constitution Wrecked. Effects of a Treacherous Dis-
case. A Wonderful Case.
From the Bulleti
Mrs. Stephen Robbins is the wife of a prominent
farmer living on a large and well-kept plantation
just at the edge of Monroe, La. They have re-
sided in this community, but two years, having
moved here from Illinois. The change was made
for the benefit ot Mrs. Robbins’ health, her physi-
cians having advised her that it was the only hope
of her regaining her lost health.
“Three years this last winter,” said Mrs. Rob-
bins, “I was very sick with that most treacherous
disease, the grip. Ihad a very time with it, but
was able to get out after being confined to my home
several weeks. Tthink I went out too soon, for I
immediately contracted a cold and had a’ relapse,
which is a common occurrence with that disease.
For several more weeks I was confined to the
house ; and after this I did not fully recover un-
til recently. Iwas able to get out again, but I
was quite a different woman.
“My former strong constitution was wrecked,
and Iwas a dwindling mass of skin and bones.
My blood was thin and I had grown pale and sal-
low. My lungs were so effected that I was going
into consumption. During my illness I had lost
thirty pounds in weight. I tried to regain my
strength and former good health by trying differ-
ent medicines and physicians’ but nothing seem-
ed to help me. My appetite was gone, and,when I
ate the food it would not stay on my stomach.
“The only thing my physicians said for me to
do was to take a change of climate, and on his ad-
vice I came here. At first I seemed benefitted,
but to my sorrow it proved to be only temporary,
and in afew months I was in my former condition.
The color had left my cheeks, I had no energy,
and life was a misery. 1 had become a burden to
myselfand family. Finally I read in a newspaper
of how Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
had effected a miraculous cure with the same
| public in and for the Parish of Winn, State of
n, Monroe, La.
disease which a neighbor of mine had in Illinois
“On the strength of this testimonial T decided
at once to give the medicine a trial. I accordingly
sent for a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People, and gave the pills a thorough trial. I did
not notice any change till I had tried the second
box. TI was discouraged a little with the result of
the first box, but knowing that I should not ex-
pect such a sudden cure of such a chronic case as
mine, I tried the second box with the result that
I immediately began getting better. I used five
boxes of these pills and was completely cured, as
you see me to-day, weighing more than ever be-
fore.”
As evidence of the truthfulness of her story
Mrs. Robbins volunteered to make the following
sworn statement :
“I hereby affirm that the above statement is
every word exact and true.”

ARE YOU PAYING MORE THAN IS
NECESSARY FOR THE WATCHMAN?
De
Of the thousands of subscribers to the DEMo-
crATIc WATCHMAN there is a large percentage
who are paying more than is really necessary for
the paper. If your paper is paid for in advance
it will cost you
ONLY $1.50 PER ANNUM
but if you leave the time slip bye without paying
up 5octs. additional, or the old price of $2.00
per year, will be the cost of your negligence.
In fairness to those subscribers who do pay
in advance and have a right to expect some con-
cession for so doing this rule will be strictly ad-
hered to so that if you expect to take advantage
of it there is but one way to do it. Pay your
paper up to date and then you will be in a posi-
tion to take advantage of the lower prices.
Just think for a moment what neglect of
this advice might amount to. Every three years
you leave the opportunity pass you lose a whole
year’s subscription. Any subscriber can tell the
exact amount he must remit by looking at the
label on his paper, taking that date and figuring
even years up to whatever month it falls on in the
current year and then adding $1.50 to pay a year
in advance from that date.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT.
Probably you have some friends in other
counties or other States who would like to have
the WATCHMAN and do not know that they
can get it for $1.50 a year. At this price itis
the cheapest paper in the county, because it is
the best and no letter that can be written to those
who have scattered off to distant parts will prove
half so entertaining and faithful in its accounts
of what is happening here.
Or
DO YOU HAVE ANY SORT OF PRINT-
ING DONE?
If you do it will be to your advantage to re-
member that we do printing of every kind and as
cheaply as it can be done anywhere. All we ask
is that you give us an opportunity to make an es-
timate on your work.
If you or any of your friends contemplate
making sale next spring the WATCHMAN’S
bills will be cheapest and best.

Lived off Bread and Milk for Years. 9 Home Doc-
tors Failed to Cure me, Dr. Salm Succeeded
in Curing.
For more than four years I have had a bad case
of catarrh, stomach and general trouble. Took
cold continually. For one and a half years I
could eat only bread and milk. Tried nine dif-
ferent doctors, to get rid of my misery, but got
worse and worse. So I went to Dr. Salm for
treatment. and to-day I am as strong as ever, can
eat anything, and don’ttake anv more cold, and
consider myself cured of this terrible disease.

Couldn't Walk 15 Yards at a Time, Was no Earthly
Use to Any One, Thought I Was Going to Die,
but Dr. Salm Cured Me.
For 2 years or more, I have had a fearful
trouble, begun to get very weak, my limbs would
not carry me any more, couldn’t walk a stretch of
15 yards, and my heart would beat a fearful rate,
at the least exertion, It seemed my blood was
turned to water, I gradually became pale as one
dead. I was no earthly use to any one, and all
my neighbors and relatives thought I was goin
to die. Home doctors couldn’t help me, so
went to Dr. Salm, and to-day, I am happy to state,
that I am stronger than ever, can eat anything,
do a full day’s work, and enjoy life as much as
any one, and my color, any one may be proud of.
