FARM NOTES. —Sandy soils are usually spoken of as light soils, because they are the easiest to work, but in actual weight they are the heaviest soils known. A clay soil, usually called heavy, is really lighter. —Professor Maynard proved by repeated tests that the germinating power of seeds of dock, daisy, shepherd’s purse and sim- ilar meadow weeds is not injured by pass- ing them through a horse, unless they chance to be crushed during the process. —To keep Hubbard squash perfectly, a dry room should be secured, where the temperature can be always above freezing. Dryness is even more important than warmth. Smash quickly mildew and rot when exposed to moist air either cold or warn. —--When you get a separator knock to pieces every swill barrel on the farm. Feed the calves and pigs as soon as the milk is separated. The milking and feeding is soon done, and there is no after handling of the milk. The stock gets the milk sweet, warm and regularly, which is all in the line of advantage. —One of the causes of scours in calves is that of compelling them to drink milk that iscold. A temperature of 100 degrees is about correct for the milk, and it should not only be fresh, but the vessels used should be clean, as any portions left over from previous feedings may do harm. —A case is reported of a quince bush grafted upon common thorn, and uncul- tivated, which has borne regular crops of fruit for over forty years. If this be a fact, it is a suggestive one, as the quince on its own roots is usually short-lived. Horticulturists should be tempted to try so simple and easy an experiment. —Clover hay is now on the market in the form of clover meal. It is scalded and used for calves, but finds more favor with those who feed pigs, it being found excel- lent as an addition to skim milk. The clover meal, if scalded, becomes soft and swells and has been found very wholesome and nutritious, as well as highly relished by young stock. —Manure does not give full benefit in one year. It is something that shows good effects for several seasons. The reason is that manure does not decompose very quickly, and as the plants can only utilize it as it becomes soluble the manure lasts from one to three or four years, according to the materials of which it is composed. —Seed corn is liable to injury during the winter unless it is stored in a dry place. There is considerable moisture in corn, and it can be affected by frost. Selected corn is hung up in a loft, where it is warm and dry, and also examined frequently. It is important to give seed corn attention, as failure to germinate during the spring may throw next year’s crop back by compelling replanting. —When crops of corn or other grains ar grown on the same plot several years in succession the soil becomes impoverished of certain elements and left with an excess of others. Rotation enables the land to give better crops, because there is a more equal distribution of plant foods to the crops, and when manure is applied the land is consequently better supplied for the next series of crops. —The cost of the butter from a cow should be known. A farmer can better afford to sell butter at 20 cents a pound from a good cow than to receive 25 cents per pound. for that from a poor cow, as the good cow gives more and hence at a lower cost. The cow consumes a large amount of food as support for her body, and this cost must he met before a profit can be had. . —Farmers and dairymen are not as par- ticular in making known their goods in a manner to impress the fact that they thor- _ oughly: understand their calling. ‘‘Alder- ney milk” is a frequent sign on milk wagons, yet there is no such article, as there is not an Alderney cow in the United States. . ‘‘Durham’’ cattle. is used for designating the Shorthorns, although the term is one that does not apply to any par- ticulas breed. —The farmer who raises a few pigs for his pork barrel may count the cost and affirm that pigs do not pay, but where a few pigs are raised they will consume a large amount of material that would be of no value except for their use. When the pork barrel is full the farmer is at least fortified for the winter with meat, and in many cases where no pigs are kept there is a waste of material that could be utilized with the aid of at least one or two porkers. —If a beef breed of cattle is preferred make beef production a specialty, and not look upon cows of such breeds to be per- fect as producers of milk and butter. There may be a few good butter cows among the beef-producing breeds, but where a certain article is desired it should be the prime object. If milk and butter are to be spe- cialties the breeds used should be those that excel in those products. Too many good points cannot be had in cews. Each cow will excel in one line only, and should be made to do duty where the most profit- able. —If cows begin to fall off in milk dur- ing the winter, after being given an abun- dance of grain and hay, it is an indication that the quarters are cold or that they re- quire some kind of succulent food. Where ensilage is used it serves as green food, but on farms where no silo is filled the food may be varied by allowing sliced carrots or turnips, though the best results can be secured by first cooking the turnips and thickening the mess with bran. When fed warm the cow will relish the mess highly, and the change of food will improve the appetite. —Lime is not used as much as formerly, and yet it is one of the most essential sub- “stances entering into the composition of plants. It is not only plant food, but it exerts a chemical effect on the soil, which brings into use other materials which are beyond tlie capacity of plants to reduce. When green food is turned under, lime will be found a valuable adjunct, as it neu- tralizes the acids in the soils and combines with them. Itisa heavy substance and has a tendency to go down, hence, if broad- casted on the surface of a field, it will sooner or later be within the reach of plants. Stone lime that has been air- slacked until it is fine is better than any other form, and that from the gas works (mostly sulphites and sulphides} should not be used if the ordinary stone lime can be procured. Every farm should be limed occasionally, as the benefit is sure to be much more than the cost and no harm can result. EN Weyler Arrives in Barcelona. Twenty Thousand Admirers of the Butcher Greet Him. BARCELONA, Nov. 23.—General Weyler was greeted by 20,000 enthusiastic people when he landed from the steamer Mont- serrat from Cuba to-day. He was driven to the house of deputy Salagridas. After the crowd about the house had cheered him until he appeared on the balcony the former commander of the Spanish forces in Cuba cried : ‘‘Long live the king, Spanish, Cuba and national labor.” Addressing an industrial deputation which waited upon him later, General Weyler said he had always been a pro- tectionist and was resolved to defend the cause of national protection. Continuing, General Weyler remarked : “I have never been a politician, but I am simply a Spanishsoldier. During my stay in Cuba I did my utmost to improve the lot of the soldiers, and now I shall devote myself to improving the condition of the workman. ”’ In a subsequent speech he accused the United States of ‘desiring to seize Cuban commerce by hunting Spaniards who would die of starvation.” He declared, amid ap- plause, that he would ‘‘never cease to de- fend Spanish interests in the Antilles.”’ General Weyler’s declarations were gen- erally approved here. During the day general Weyler had a long conference with the captain general of Caladonia. The friends of Weyler say the popular demon- stration was not so big to-day because he was not expected to arrive there till to- morrow, when it was intended to make a great demonstration in his honor. The friends of General Weyler also claim that he has shown his loyalty by calling for cheers for the king when he appeared on the balcony of deputy Saladriga’s house. General Weyler, addressing a number of his friends shortly after his arrival here, expressed great regret at his recall from Cuba, adding that he was particularly an- noyed at the attitude of certain newspa- pers, which, he declared, favored the in- surgents. Continuing, the general re- marked : ‘‘Spanish soldiers, however, have the same contempt for these papers as they have for filibusters.”’ Referring to ‘the concentration of the Cuban peasants near the towns of that island, General Weyler explained that he deemed such a step necessary because they were spies and the most devoted friends of the enemy. In regard to autonomy the former cap- tain general of Cuba said : ‘Autonomy in Cuba would be most un- fortunate for national industry. The rich- es of . uba belong to Spain, and autonomy means the disappearance of Spanish work- men and misery throughout the island. “There is as much reason for Catalonia, the Balearic Islands and the other prov- inces to ask for autonomy as Cuba.’ Trying to Save Durrant. A Texas Prisoner Who Committed Suiclde Reported to Have Confessed to the San Francisco Murders. MoRrGAN, Tex., Nov. 23.—A farmer named Pitts, who lives in this county and was a prisoner in the jail with Blanther Forbes, who committed suicide on March 2, has sent to attorneys in Meridian a let- ter which he says Forbes placed in his (Pitts’s) pocket the night before he took his own life. .. The letter is addressed to Pitts and is as follows : : ‘*As this is my last day on earth, I wish to say that I cannot die without telling a truth. I murdered Mrs. Langfeldt, ‘also Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams. I put this in your coat pocket and hope you will find it in time to save the life of Dur- rant. It may also be of service to Mr. Womack in getting his reward money. I want you to have my watch for your kind- ness to me. You may have my best wishes and I hope your troubles will end, but not as mine.”’ The murder of Blanche Lamont and Min- nie Williams is the crime for which Theo- dore Durrant has been twice sentenced to death in San Francisco. The letter has been partially identified as being in Forbes’ handwriting. It will be sent to San Francisco. Big Fire in St. Louis. The Work Was Rapidly Done. Fully six Thousand Barrels of Spirits Go up in a Conflagation Which Totally Consumed ‘a Distillery.—The Loss Was Partly Insured. ST. Louis, Nov. 23.—The mostldisastrous fire that has occurred in North St. Louis in a number of years broke out shortly before 5 o’clock this evening in the warehouse of the Ravenswood Distillery company. The loss will amount-to $100,000, with insur- ance of about 75 per cent. A general alarm was turned in but the work of the firemen was useless as the 6,000 barrels of alcohol, Bourbon, rye and spirits stored in the building fed the flames and within thirty minutes the entire ware- house was a roaring furnace from celler to roof. The distillery adjoining was saved. Superintendent Murphy said : “The ware house building was built some years ago at a cost of $91,000 and was entirely filled with stock valued at $72,000. The damage to the distillery proper I estimate at about $9,000. I think about 75 per cent. was covered by insurance. Piano Makers to Combine. The Principal Manufacturers to Form a Union for Economy. NEW YORK, Nov. 23—The *‘ World’ says that an effort is being made to unite the principal piano manufacturers in the United States. The Steinway, Chicker- ing, Knabe, Kimball and Cable companies will, it is expected by the promoters, with the supply house of Alfred Dolge, form the backbone of the organization, which will have branch houses in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, Denver, San Fran- cisco and in a few other large cities. Great savings are expected on the yearly output of 100,000 pianos. The saving in advertis- ing alone would amount to from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. A still greater saving is expected from the concentration in a few factories in the great cities of the work now done in a hundred factories scattered all over the country. A New One Dollar Greenback. A new $1 greenback will soon make its appearance. It is a radical departure from all previous designs showing a large space of white paper, front and back. An eagle with extended wings hovering over the flag and capital is the only illustration on the face, and in the corners is the figure in scroll work. The back is very plain, consisting Jargely of a border 1n geometrical designs. Food for Invalids. Mrs. Rorer’s Lecture on Suitable Nourishment for Convalescents. Mrs. Rorer in her lectures in Philadel- phia, recently, devoted an afternoon to such dishes as are suitable and necessary for in- valids and persons convalescing from seri- ous illness. The list of recipes illustrated and explained was as follows: KooMYS—Two quarts of milk heated to 100; two tablespoonfuls of sugar, two ta- blespoonfuls of water; one-third of a half ounce yeast cake. BEEF TEA—One pound of heef; one pint of cold water; a hay leaf; quarter of a tea- spoonful of celery seed. STEWED FIGS—One pound of figs; one pint of water. Soak the figs over night, bring to boiling point, reduce the syrup one-half. GLUTEN GEMs—Separate two eggs, add to the yolks one cup of milk, a cup and a half of gluten flour, and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat thoroughly; stir in the well beaten whites of the eggs. Bake in a quick oven twenty minutes. For cramps or pains in the stomach try a few drops of essence of camphor. For binding up cuts and wounds always use linen, not cotton, as the fibers of cot- ton are flat and apt to irritate a sore place, while those of linen are perfectly rounded. For tired feet put a handful of common salt into four quarts of hot water. Place the feet in the water while it is hot as it can be borne. Then rub the feet dry with a rough towel. For making a clear complexion stir two teaspoonfuls of flower of sulphur into half a pint of new milk. Let it stand awhile, and then rub the face over with it a short time before washing. Knew Both Papa and the Horse. It is said that General Crittenden used to tell with great glee a story of the reply once made to him by his son, then a little boy of 8 or 9 years. A day or two after the battle of Chick- amauga, the little fellow went into camp. The General rode during the battle a horse which went by the name of John Jay, a great favorite with his small son. The child showed great delight at seeing his father again, but at last, in the midst of a vigorous hug, he asked suddenly : *‘Papa, where is John Jay ?”’ ‘‘Oh,” said his father, gravely, ‘‘your horse behaved very badly during the fight; he insisted, like a coward, on taking me to the rear.” The boy looked at him searchingly for an instant. Then his eyes gleamed, and he held up a remonstrant little finger, point- ing it at his parent. ‘‘Papa,’”’ said he, severely, ‘I know John Jay would never have done that of his own will. It must have been your work !” ‘“There seemed to be nothing for me to say,”’ the General usually remarked in conclusion, ‘‘and consequently I did not argue the matter !”’ . Sibley Wouldn’t Refuse. Is Willing to Run on the National Ticket With Bryan. Mexico, Mo., Nov. 23.—A letter has been received from ex-Congressman Joseph C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania. It was in- spired by Champ Clark declaring Sibley to be the man for the Democracy to nominate for the Vice Presidency. Among other things Mr. Sibley says : “I admit that if nominated on a ticket with Bryan, with a platform that respected the head, the heart and the conscience of the great plain people of our nation, I should esteem it a most profound honor. My judgment is that success in 1900 is as- sured. The battle will be fought mainly along the same lines. Widener to Make a Gift. PHILADELPHIA, November 23. — The announcement was made to-day that Peter A. B. Widener, formerly city treasurer and now president of the Philadelphia Traction company, and who has big interests in street railway lines in many other cities, intends to present to the city of Philadel- phia the palatial residence now occupied by him at Broad street and Girard avenue. Mr. Widener’s object in giving the house to the city is that it shall become a branch of the Philadelphia free library. The dwelling was built about ten years ago and is an imposing structure of brown stone, five stories in height and elegantly finish- ed throughout. ——A farmer in Adams county, Pa., wound up his operations for 1897 by selling 2,500 barrels of apples from his 1,100 trees for $1.75 a barrel, a total of $4,375. The trees in the orchard are from 11 to 17 years old. Legal Notices.
