FARM NOTES.
—Grape vines usually need very little
manure other than mineral, and that chiefly
potash. In European countries it is the
habit of vineyardists to burn the prunings
each year, and apply the ashes. No other
fertilizer is used. In fact, stable manures
are objected to, as they make the vines
grow rank, and the fruit will lack the flavor
that belongs to fruits whose vines are only
manured with ashes. uch of the excel-
lence of French wines is possibly due to
this sparing use of manure.
—The brush and currycomb are far less
used on cows than they are on horses, yet
they are quite as necessary, to the ani-
mal’s comfort. Who has not seen cattle
rubbing their sides against a fence or tree,
or their backs under some overhanging
limbs ? It not only adds to their comfort
to rub them down, but it draws the blood
nearer the surface, so that the animal is
warmer. With the same feeding a_ well
groomed cow will keep in good condition
when she would be scrawney and raw boned
if not regularly curried and brushed.
—Recent German trials indicate that the
separator removes from milk and cream not
only the dirt and slime which pass through
the strainer, but the greater portion of
bacteria. . As cows are usually cared for
and handled there is always some dirt and
dandruff from the cow’s udder getting into
the milk. This can not always be caught
in a strainer, but if any passes through, it
is included with the slime which remains
in the separator bowl. The German trials
indicate that most of the bacteria remain
with it.
—A writer in an English paper gives this
recipe for preventing rust in carnations,
which he received from a gardener in Ger-.
many, whose plants were unusually fine
and in healthy condition. He mixes two
pounds of vitriol and four pounds of fresh-
ly slacked lime in 27 gallons of water, and
stirs well together until it is clear, not
blue, and then he adds two pounds of sugar
and mixes all again. With this he syringes
his plants once a week, early in the day.
The syringing should be done quickly,
finely and evenly.
—If you have never had a ‘‘rattling
good garden,’’ suppose you make an effort
to have one this year. I know from ex-
perience that a good garden is a great
money saver, as well as a system renovator.
You can grow more good ‘‘spring medi-
cine” from a dollar’s worth of garden seeds
than you can get for $50 from a drug store.
Some people like to regard everything they
eat, in the way of vegetables, as a remedy
for this or that disease ; a liver renovator,
a kidney stirrer, a lung balsam, or a stom-
ach soother. I much prefer to consider
them as real good, palatable food.
—The value of the bee in the work of
fertilizing plants by carrying pollen from
one plant to another, is greater than its use
in producing honey. In fact, without the
aid of bees many crops would be complete
failures. Darwin found that in 100 heads
of purple clover protected from the visita-
tions of bees not a seed was produced,
while 100 heads visited by bees produced
nearly 3000 seeds. When two varieties
of certain plants are grown in the same
neighborhood there is a liability of cross-
fertilization, as bees forage over a wide
territory. It will therefore pay the farmer
or fruit-grower to keep at least one hive of
bees or encourage his neighbor to do so.
—A swollen udder often causes a ewe to
disown and abuse her lamb. The milk
flow is then usually deficient, which only
makes the hungry lambs more persistent,
the ewe more desperate, and a bad matter
worse. In such a case we put the lambs in
a box or barrel near the ewe, supply them
with almost enough cow’s milk from a bot-
tle with a nipple, orlet them to some other
ewe, and only let them to their dams
enough to keep the milk taken ; in the
meantime bathe the udder with tepid wa-
ter and witch hazel or arnmica. Do this
often—at least every two hours for a day—
then extend the times until the soreness
and swelling are gone, and the milk flow
increased, when the lambs will be received.
—Dr. S. B. Partridge, of East Bloom-
field, N. Y., is raising celery on a large
scale on the bed of a reclaimed swamp. He
set 125,000 plants last year, of the dwarf
Golden Self-Blanching, and produces from
1500 to 1800 dozen branches of celery per
acre, marketable at from 20 to 30 cents a
dozen. His celery kept for winter market
is placed in trenches made by means of a
crib, 16 feet long and 14 inches wide, which
is placed in the row and filled with celery.
Then a deep bank of earth is thrown up on
either side to the top of the celery, after
which the crib is taken up and moved for-
ward its length, and the same process re-
peated. The trenches are left open at the
top until the approach of cold weather,
when they are covered with straw and
earth.
—In choosing varieties of potatoes for
spring planting it is advisable to select
those that have been recently produced
from seed, provided, of course, that their
quality and productiveness have been tested
and are generally known. The variety
that is newly produced from seed is generally
more vigorous then than it is likely to be
after a few years’ contest with potato bugs
and the blight and rots, which all help to
decrease potato vigor and productiveness.
But it is not advisable to plant potatoes,
however good, which are very unlike
standard sorts, and whose good qualities
are not generally known. There is so much
difference in potatoes that the mere fact
that a potato is a potato is not enough with
most consumers to secure a market for it
until after they have given it a trial.
—The efficiency of kerosene emulsion de-
pends on how it is made. The most im-
portant part is the agitation of the ma-
terials. Simply stirring the mixture will
not answer, as violent agitation, by pump-
ing the liquid back into itself, is necessary.
Use soft water and avoid water containing
lime, and also use plenty of soap. An ex-
cellent method is to shave half a pound of
soap and add it to a gallon of boiling wa-
ter. Let the water boil until the soap is
dissolved, and then remove the vessel from
the fire. Next, add two gallons of kerosene
and a gill of crude carbolic acid, while the
water is hot, and briskly agitate until the
result is a substance having the appearance
of rich cream. It requires about ten min-
utes to agitate the mixture, as no free
kerosene should be noticed. When cold
add 20 gallons of soft water and spray with
a nozzle. The carbolic acid is not includ-
ed in the usual formula, but it will be
found of advantage. Use the crude acid
(not, the refined), which is a cheap sub-
stance. Kerosene and crude carbolic acid
will not mix with water, but both sub-
stances form an emulsion with strong soap-
suds.
Cash for School.
Calculations Being Made for Its Distribution.
The clerks in the state department of
public instruction have begun work on the
computation for the distribution of the
state appropriation to the schools this year
and they will have about at least a month’s
figuring before the work is completed.
The state appropriation to the public
schools will be distributed this year on
the basis established by the legislature last
year, so that the recent triennial assess-
ment will be all important in determining
the amount the various districts shall re-
ceive. Heretofore the millions granted to
the schools by the state have been dis-
tributed on the basis of the taxables. Un-
der the new act of assembly, however, the
money will be distributed one-third on the
number of schools, one-third on the num-
ber of children between the ages of six and
sixteen and one-third on the taxables. The
provisions of the new law, which sets apart
one-third on the hasis of the school chil-
dren between the ages of six and sixteen,
will be rather favorable, it is thought, to
the populous centers and draw from the
sparsely-settled districts.
The one-third on the number of schools
will be a gain for the country districts,
while the one-third on the basis of the
taxables will be favorable to the populous
districts, so that the result as a whole will
not materially affect the distribution as
under the old law. The populous cities
and towns will have two chances as against
the rural communities---in *he number of
taxables and school children between the
ages of six and sixteen. As the children
in the cities and towns are about equiva-
lent to the number of taxables, they will
hold their own as against the country dis-
tricts, which will lead the processions in
the number of schools. In many rural dis-
tricts there are often less than a dozen
pupils in a school, while in the city the
average to a school is forty-five.
At the department of public instruction
the returns upon which the distribution
will be based are being received, but it will
be late in April or the beginning of May
before the department officials will have
the data necessary to make up the figures
for each district. On one blank the county
commissioners have been sending to the de-
partment the number of taxable residents
in the several school districts of each coun-
ty ; on another the county superintendent
of schools submits the number of teachers
—not including substitutes or teachers em-
ployed to fill vacancies occurring during
the present school year—regularly em-
ployed and paid by the school boards of
the several districts. There is also an enum-
eration of the school children between
the ages of six and sixteen, whose accuracy
has been questioned by the school authori-
ties of more than one city or borough and
changes have had to be made.
Saved Him With a Pitchfork.
Pluchy Attack of a Woman on a Bull That Was
Goring Her Husband,
Mr. and Mrs. John M. Keenan live with
their children on a farm on the Little Spo-
kane, about ten miles north of the Spokane
Mr. Keenan is well known in the city and
throughout the county. Saturday after-
toon Mrs. Keenan, from the house, heard
the large and vicious bull owned by them
bellowing in evident anger. She went to
the field and saw the animal standing over
her prostrate husband and grinding at his
limp and helpless body with the stump of
his horn. The animal was dehorned some
time ago, but one of the horn stumps is
several inches long. This he was trying to
drive through Mr. Keenan's chest. Mrs.
Keenan's ehildren were too small to be of
assistance. She despatched them to the
nearest neighbor’s, and, seizing a pitch-
fork, ran at once to the bull.
She attacked him viciously in the flank,
driving the prongs of the fork fully four
inches into the bull’s flesh. Still he con-
tinued to grind his victim with the broken
horn. Mrs. Keenan grew desperate. She
walked around to the animal’s head, and
with a strength born of her desperation she
again and again drove the sharp fork into
the bull’s hide, the prongs sinking from
four to five inches at nearly every drive.
She says she does not know how many
times she stabbed the animal with the
fork, but it must have been five or six.
Finally the maddened bull drew off and
stood at bay. Mrs. Keenan stepped
in front of her prostrate husband, who lay
limp and still, but his preceptible hreath-
ing assurred her life was not extinct.
Nerved thus for the ordeal, she stood there,
and, with her crude weapon, checked the
rushes and vicious attacks of the bull until
help arrived half an hour later. As the
bull circled around her, looking for a
chance to rush in and gore her, she, too,
walked about her husband, ever keeping
his body behind her and her face and
weapon to the bull, she was standing thus
when the men, summoned by her children,
arrived.
A Good Dictionary for Two Cents.
A dictionary containing the definitions
of 10,000 of the most useful and important
words in the English language, is published
by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Sche-
nectady, N. Y. While it contains some
advertising, it is a complete dictionary,
concise and correct.
In compiling this book care has been
taken to omit none of those common words
whose spelling or exact use occasions at
times a momentary difficulty, even to well
educated people. The main aim has been
to give as much useful information as pos-
sible in a limited space. With this in
view, where noun, adjective and verb are
all obviously connected in meaning. usual-
ly one only has been inserted. The volume
will thus be found to contain the meaning
of very many more words than it professes
to explain.
To those who already have a dictionary,
this book will commend itself because it is
compact, light and convenient ; to those
who have no dictionary whatever, it will
be invaluable. One may be secured by
writing to the above concern, mentioning
this paper, and enclosing a two-cent stamp.
——A blind man picked out his dead
wife in the morgue in New York
recently by his delicate sense of
touch. Two women, both of the
same name, and both of whom died in
Bellevue, were taken to the dead house at
about the same time. When the morgue
keeper caught the blind man’s right hand
and guided it to an upturned face, he said,
‘No, no; that’s not my Mary!’ The
drawer was closed and the next one pulled
out. The sightless man laid down his
stick this time and used both hands. His
face was transfigured as the tips of his
fingers rested on the sharp set, cold fea-
tures. ‘‘Mary,’”’ he whispered, ‘‘I have
found you, dear! How thin your face has
grown! How cold you are, Mary ; how
cold I” The blind man had made no mis-
take. The dead woman had been his wife.
No dramatist ever conceived a more touch-
ing scene, which brought moisture to eyes
seldom affected by sentiment.
Pay of School Teachers.
Reasons Why it Should be Higher Than it is.
It would seem that the teacher ought to
be the best paid person of any profession,
for when so much is required of her in the
discharge of her arduous responsibilities in
the schoolroom there is necessity for spend-
ing much time and money in preparation,
and also in securing those aids towards
physical and intellectual relaxation and
comfort that will make it possible to endure
the strain of hard labor. Even
though the teacher possesses the spirit of a
missionary and receives a portion of her re-
ward from the good she can do, still she
cannot fly in the face of nature a great
while without making restitution in some
manner. Yet it is a lamentable fact that
teachers on the average receive far less for
their work than do the members of most if
not all other professions. There are to-day
in the public schools of elementary and
secondary grades in our country over 388,-
000 teachers who receive an average of $50
per month. Among these are included
many who have been trained in seminaries,
colleges and universities, and a large num-
ber who are graduates of normal and high
schools. Most of them are obliged to re-
side away from home the greater part of
the year, and so are at comparatively large
expense in the maintenance of daily life.
It can be seen that what is left after neces-
sities are provided for must be very meagre
indeed.
If it were possible now to ascertain the
average income of the lawyers, doctors and
other professional men in the country, it
would in all probability appear to be a
number of times that of the average school
teacher. It is a fact of common observa-
tion that young men of ambition and limit-
ed means who engage in public school
teaching continue at it but a short time—
only long enough to accumulate a suffi-
ciency to pay off debts or to prepare for
some other profession ; and it is universal-
ly admitted that in a financial way a young
man has far greater advantages as a lawyer,
even of the pettifogger sort, than does a
teacher of the finest quality. If we com-
pare the salaries of those in the employ of
the Government in its various departments
with the wages of public school teachers as
already given, we see that the most moder-
ately paid positions yield at least twice as
much as does school teaching, while the
most lucrative places yield many times as
much as do the majority of places in public
schools.
Of course it would be hardly reverential
to compare the highest positions in the gift
of the state, as the presidency, headships
of departments, judgeships in high courts,
governorships, membership in the National
Legislature, etc., with the best places in
the public school service, but it would
seem reasonable for teachers to expect that
they should receive as much for their la-
bors as a clerk or a typewriter in the em-
ploy of the government.
A Lesson From Mexico.
Destruction of the Forests Has Brought Drought
and Desolation.
The early conquerors of this country and
their followers of to-day have been very
wasteful and careless in the disposition of
their forests, with the result of accelerating
the date when they will be compelled to
face a problem of forest preservation at
considerable cost to themselves. Denizens
of the northwest are familiar with the ra-
pidity with which the valuable timber
areas have been denuded, until now there
is scarcely a merchantable tree between Ar-
kansas and California line. Many notes of
warnings accompanied this destruction of
the northern soft wood forests, but they
fell upon unwilling ears. Only after it
was too late to stop the mischief did the
country begin to recognize the indirect
value of forests to agriculture and that no
high degree of civilization can exist per-
manently without some systematic and
adequate forest management. In India the
destruction of the forests commenced 1,000
years ago, and that country, having at least
seen the folly of such waste, is now engaged
in the expensive undertaking of reforesting
large areas.
The effect upon rainfall and the produc-
tiveness of the cul’iv:i ud tracts has already
been acknowledged hy investigators. When
Cortez first saw the valley of Mexico, it
was covered with woods, not dense, but
abundant, from the timber line on the vol-
canoes down to the water's edge. The
| reckless cutting down of the forests by the
Spaniards in the first century following the
conquest in 1521 increased evaporation,
caused the lakes to dry up, led to frequent
droughts, followed by occasional floods,
and changed the climate of Anahuac.
Any old rancher will tell stories of
streams that flowed when he was a boy and
will show the dry arroyo now. They all
claim that the tablelands had timber in
considerable quantities where now they
are barren deserts.
This government has taken some steps
in the matter, but it is also necessary for
the landowners to assist in this work by
planting trees and irrigating them for a
few years until they have taken good root.
By using good judgment in selecting the
trees and in planting in a few years the
complaints which are now so frequent of
years of droughts will soon become fewer
and fewer until they finally cease.— Monte-
rey Globe.
Horse Runs Away With $49,000.
One of the liveliest and most interesting
horse hunts that ever took place in this
nineteenth century occurred recently.
One of the pack trains was engaged in
bringing down 1,000 or 1,500 pounds of
gold from the mines. Sacks of nuggets
weighing from 150 to 200 pounds were
loaded on the hacks of eight horses and
started down the gulches, which are eight
miles distant from Dawson City. Dark-
ness came on rather early and one of the
animals, carrying 180 pounds of the yellow
metal, which is equivalent to $49,000, be-
came separated and wandered off into the
woods to browse. The loss was not no-
ticed until the pack train arrived in town
and the gold was being weighed. For a
few moments which rapidly grew into
hours and this lengthened into a couple of
days, consternation prevailed. No time
was lost in getting over the back trail and
making hasty inquiries of the miners along
the route as to whether they had seen any-
thing of a horse with a pack on his back.
The hunt lasted all night, the next day and
the night following, and not the slightest
trace of the horse could be found. What
puzzled the searchers all the more was the
fact that the lost animal wore a clear bell.
At the end of the second day when the in-
cident was fast assuming one of those un-
fathomable mysteries that sometimes
swoop down on a mining camp, the lost
horse came over the top of a mountain and
down into town jingling the bell in a live-
ly tone, with the sack of gold safely on his
back. The animal had been browsing in a
meadow situated way up in the mountains.
