FARM NOTES.
—If a strange hen is brought into the
flock she may bring lice with her; the
bodies of the hens protect lice during the
coldest weather, hence the dust bath is im-
portant. Another difficulty is the fact that
the large grey lice are nearly always found
on the skins of the heads and necks. A
few drops of olive oil, once a month will,
destroy them.
—A writer to the household columns of
a northwestern paper gives this recipe for
making a liniment for man and beast:
Drop a cracked egg, shell and all, into a
pint of strongest cider vinegar. Keep cov-
ered from dust and allow to stand till the
shell and egg have disappeared. Shake
well and strain, adding a gill of turpentine.
Always shake well before using, as the
turpentine does not combine well with the
vinegar.
—The best way to exterminate those lit-
tle mites called chicken-lice is to take a
teaspoonful of sulphur to about three of
lard (any kind of grease will do except tal-
low; that is too hard) mixed together;
then pour in boiling water, stir until it is
melted, and with a cloth wash the perches
and zll the insides of the boxes where they
sit and lay. Tear up the cloth and wrap
it about the roosts where lice are likely to
hide. Do this two or three times, and you
will soon be rid of the pests.
—So-called scratches, if not too inveter-
ate, will soon be brought to healing by
keeping the horse on a dry and clean floor,
out of water, snow, mud and manure, and
by making twice a day to all the sores a
liberal application of a mixture of liquid
subacetate of lead, one part, and olive-oil,
three parts. If the affected parts ‘need
cleaning it is advisible to do it dry or with
out using any water. A thickening of the
skin, caused by degeneration of its tissues,
must be looked upon as permanent.
—Those who buy wheat and corn for
fowls should try millet seed. The seeds
are very small and are more perfect as a
ration for laying hens than grain. An ad-
vantage in using millet seed is that the
fowls must eat slowly, as they will be com-
pelled to hunt for every seed, and by so do-
ing will have more exercise. The cost of
the commercial seed should be no greater
than for wheat, and every poultryman
should grow a small patch of millet if the
seed is difficult to procure. Millet is a
summer plant and need not be seeded in
until May or June.
—Early in the spring the hens will begin
to set and young chicks hatched. It is im-
portant to keep the chicks warm until they
are feathered. They are hatched at a tem-
perature of 103 degrees, and when exposed
to an atmosphere at a temperature of 50 or
60 degrees become chilled, from which they
seldom recover. Bowel diseases, which is
ascribed to faults in feeding, is more fre-
quently the result of lack of warmth. Late
in spring, when the weather is warmer,
the chicks can have more liberty, but in
winter, when the early ones are hatched,
shelter and protection from cold draughts
will be necessary to prevent loss.
—Wherever lawns are highly manured,
as most well-kept lawns are apt to be, a
dressing of salt sometimes during the
winter will greatly benefit them. Salt in
small quantities, as it must be used when
applied to land, is one of the best solvents
known. We are so used to putting salt in
extra amounts to harden and pickle vege-
tables that we are apt to forget that in very
small amounts it rots them. Try it on
some cut potatoes for seed, as we knew a
farmer once to do, and see the effect. He
rotted a whole row of potatoes in this way,
so that two-thirds of them never came up.
Salt is especially valuable to release min-
eral fertilizers that have become inert in
the soil.
—To keep apples sound, laying them on
a dark, dry shelf is one method. But
when so kept many will be found to lose
their beauty and shrivel; if packed in box-
es or barrels with dry sand, however, the
flavor and soundness are not only preserved,
but their original beauty and firmness are
also maintained. We do not recommend
saw dust or barn, as these are liable to get
damp or mouldy, and thus injure the fruit.
Pears may also be preserved in this way,
but as these undergo a slight fermentation,
after becoming ripe, the effect of which is
shown by a kind of greasiness on the skin,
they should be left a week in the store-
room before the method of preserving here
pointed out is commenced.
—~Can anybody explain why our farmers
are so reckless concerning the encroach-
ments of weeds? The wild carrot might
easily have been headed off if we had the
right sentiment among our land-owners.
The only difficulty now in eradicating it is
the fact that there is so much of it. It is
easily pulled before going to seed. I would
much rather deal with it than with the
hawkweed, which is spreading through the
fields of ‘New York state and elsewhere.
The best way of dealing with this pest, as
well as with moneywort, where it gets
lodged in the lawns, is to sow liberally
with salt. Buy a barrel or more of dam-
aged salt, which you ean generally find at
any country store and obtain for less than
half price. While the salt kills the weeds
it fertilizes the grass. Apply three or four
times in order to thoroughly reach every
plant and root.
—The beginning with a garden should
be really in the fall, as such plants as spin-
ach, kale, salsify, dandelion, eress, ete.,
can be seeded down in the fall, covered
with mulch and be brought on the table
very early in the spring. A patch of
turnips left in the ground in the fall will
provide the best kind of early ‘‘greens,”’
and the same may be done with cabbage
stalks, which, if planted in the the fall in a
compact bed, will take up but little room
and throw out sprouts early in spring be-
fore any other green crop comes. ILater on
radishes, lettuce and rhubarb will be in
order, as they are hardy and can be had be-
fore suminer crops are seeded. Asparagus
comes almost by the time frost is out of the
ground. Half an acre in a garden which
has been heavily manured will provide an
enormous supply of vegetables, as one crop
can go in as soon as another is removed of
some kinds. Peas and onions, as well as
early potatoes, may be had with but little
difficulty if the ground is sandy and warm,
but to secure early crops the cultivation
must be deep and thorough and the land
well drained, not by having a heavy sur-
face flow, but by the water going down
quickly. Warmth is secured by the air
following the downward flow of the water
into the soil.
-——Coughs, colds, pneumonia and fevers
may be prevented by keeping the blood
pure and the system toned up with Hood’s
Sarsaparilla.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Mrs. 8. J. Atwood, who runs a Labor
Bureau in Denver, has hired over 40,000
men in the last thirteen years for work on
Western railroads. She is said fo be the
only woman railroad employment agent in
the country.
To remain young a woman. must keep
her joints limber; if neglected they become
painful and stiff. Women groan with rheu-
matic pains, when, if they exercised proper-
ly, rheumatism would be unheard of.
Women sit by a fire and shiver with a cold,
when, if they encouraged gymnastics, the
blood would circulate vigorously through
the body.
The following four simple exercises will
greatly help to develop and preserve phys-
ical symmetry. J
1—Stand erect, with hands outstretched
on a level with the shoulders, and slowly
raise yourself on your toes as far as possi-
ble. Retain this position for an instant,
and then sink back on to the entire foot.
Do this 20 times a day at firs, and increase
each day to a reasonable limit.
2—Place the hands on the hips, and rest-
ing all the weight of the body on the right
foot slowly raise the left leg, and extend it
in front of the body. Then bend at the
knee, pointing the toe downward and bring
the foot up. Repeat this 10 times at first.
Then stand on the left foot and repeat the
exercise in reverse.
3—Stand erect and lean over at the hips
without bending the kneesand try to touch
the floor with the fingers. Day by day
you will come nearer and nearer the floor.
This exercise will make thebody supple
and strengthen the back and will encour-
age grace.
4—Extend the right arm and placing the
left on the hip bend to right side as far as
possible, and then reverse the exercise,
which should be repeated 10 times at first,
and, like the others increased from day to
day as much as circumstances will admit.
This is an excellent general gymnastic. No
woman should indulge in any exercise to
such an extent that even the slightest
strain is possible. Fifteen minutes a day
spent in exercise at home should result in
muscular development and greatly help to
retain health.
Gloves should fit easily—neither too tight
nor too loose. In the first instance they
make the hand appear clumsy, besides
stopping the circulation of the blood, caus-
ing cold extremities and a variety of other
complaints which follow in its wake; and
in the latter case they wrinkle. Both ex-
tremes are to be avoided.
In trying on gloves, which should be as
carefully fitted to the hand as corsets are
to the body, the hand shoald be dry—en-
tirely free from perspiration. The fingers
are first inserted, and the nicest care
should be taken that they are properly
pushed in, for the future wear and fit of
the glove depend upon how it is first put
on. After the fingers are worked on
the thumb is inserted, and then the up-
per part of the glove receives attention.
Both gloves should be put on before either
is buttoned. Begin at the second button
and fasten the glove, and then return to
the first and no trouble will be found in
closing it.
In removing gloves they should be pull-
ed off from the wrist, thus turning them
inside out and giving them an opportunity
to dry and air.
Light-colored gloves give the hand a
larger appearance than when dressed in
darker shades.
To have a green room is apt to stamp one
as very up-to-date and an artistic person as
well, says a New York exchange. The
decorators have all sorts of answers to the
question: “Why, are green rooms the fad?’’
One says that they are soothing to the eyes
and to the nerves, another declares that
they are good all-year round rooms. A
blue or a red room is not. The former is
too cool for Winter, the latter too warm
for Summer, unless the furniture is of wil-
low, and in that case the rich effect, which
is the first charm of the red room, is missed.
A third thinks that the prevailing popu-
larity of mahogany-tinted hair accounts for
the new born love of green rooms.
The green room of the present day fancy
is either in dark shades, with light oak
woodwork, or in silvery, sage green, with
mahogany, teakwood or black oak furni-
ture. Occasionally a brilliant splash of
red is permitted in wall border, couch pil-
lows or candle shades, and huge, drowsy
poppies: are the popular design. A green
room in which a man of not appallingly
studious mind spends most of his time has
very effective book shelves of white wood
to match the old-fashioned white marble
mantelpiece.
“Pull your pretty last year’s waists
apart,’ advises a woman famous for the
success of her shirt waist designs, ‘‘and
take out much of the fullness of the front
and some from the sleeves. This is to ren-
der the waists comfortable when worn be-
neath the tight little tailor-made bodice
coats which were so popular in the Autumn,
and which will be worn again just as soon
as furs and heavy coats are unnecessary.
‘When the time comes for the shirt waists
to make their appearance uncovered by any
coat the fronts will grow fuller, and new
wrinkles appear. But for the present the
fronts should be rather skimpy, so that the |
snugly fitted bodice will close over them
nicely, and just as little fullness as possi-
ble should be allowed in the sleeves.’’
In order to fully renovate the last year’s
waist which is to do duty for the opening
of the Spring season or for the present one,
since everybody is wearing cotton waists
already, even if they haven’t worn them all
winter, the cuffs must be made a trifle
narrower. They should be so arranged as
to button with regular studs or cuff but-
tons instead of links, and the corners should
be rounded. So should the corners of the
collar, which must be much more widely
opened than the collar of last year. Stocks
of the material or of ribbon will be more
popular than linen collars for a month or
80, because linen is very unkind to soft
throats when the weather is chilly.
The wearers of the first shirt waists of
1899 will find the question very hard to
settle, each side of the matter having its
own good points. The stiff color of white
linen always looks trim and natty, and it
allows endless possibilities in the way of
liberty scatfs and so on, but the ribbon
collar or stock is often much more becom-
ing, and the beauty of the throat is far
more graciously preserved by its use.
Striped materials, in passing, are to be
more popular than any others, then plaids,
and both in bold patterns and colors.
So, for the benefit of the woman who
cannot afford or who does not care to pa-
tronize exclusive shirt makers, here are a
a few hints, by the following of which she
may be sure of being in good style and of
awakening the envy of her less fortunate
comrades. Choose pink, purple or white
materials, striped, plaided or figured, but
rever, unless you select white as your
color, absolutely plain; make them up in
lengthy outlines of the kind herein deserib-
ed, with all the stripes going down the
figure. instead of across, as in other sea-
sons; look well to the fashioning of your
cuffs and collars and insist upon a medium
long and well-fitted yoke, together with
some little fulluess in the front, no matter
what the fashion articles say.
Pepper Pointers.
The Difference Between the Black and the White
Kinds. -
Very few house wives seem to understand
the difference between the black and the
white pepper, and why the latter is su-
perior. The black pepper is the most com-
monly used in seasoning. This is the
coarse pepper made by grinding the pep-
percorn with the outer shell or husk on it.
White pepper, oun the contrary, is made
of perfectly ripened peppercorn after the
husk has been removed, and is in every
way superior in flavor to black pepper,
though it is not quite so pungent.
White pepper costs but a trifle more than
black and does not disfignre a white soup
or sauce as black pepper does.
It is interesting to recall the fact that
this simple condiment was so costly in the
middle ages that rents were sometimes:
paid in a pound of peppercorns, delivered
at certain times. The term ‘‘a pepper-
corn rent’’ still lingers in modern jurispru-
dence, and means a nominal rent.
The Portuguese, who formerly controlled
the pepper market of the world, were in-
fluenced more, it is said, by their desire to
obtain an abundant supply of pepper than
by anything else in their effort to discover
a short passage to the Indies.
In 1498, when the passage round the
Cape of Good Hope was finally discovered
pepper went down in price.
Nepaul pepper is a delicious, delicate
kind of red pepper.
The red pepper known as cayenne pep-
per takes it name from Cayenne, a seaport
town, and the capital of French Guiana,
on'the northwest extremity of the Island
of Cayenne, and near the mouth of the
river of that name.
The pepper is not prepared from a pep-
percorn, but from the dried fruits of var-
ious species of plants know as capsicum.
All these fruits havea very strong, pungent
flavor. The annual or common capsicum
—the Guinea pepper plant—was taken to
Europe by the Spaniards and grown in
England in 1548.
Cayenne pepper is manufactured from
the ripe fruits, which are dried, ground,
mixed with wheat flour and made into
cakes with yeast. These cakes are haked
until hard like biscuit, and then ground
and sifted. The pepper is sometimes pre-
pared by simply drying the pods and pound-
ing them fine in a mortar.
Quaking Custard.
Soak one-quarter of a box of gelatine in
one-quarter of a cup of cold water. Beat
together the yolks of three eggs with one-
half cup of sugar, and one pint of scalded
milk and stir in a double boiler until it
thickens. Take from the fire, stir in the
gelatine, flavor with one teaspoonful of va-
nila, strain and pour into one or more wet-
ted moulds; when cold, turn out and serve
with the whites of the eggs beaten stiff
with three tablespoonfuls of sugar and a
few drops of vanilla.

What Do the Children Drink ?
Don’t give them tea or coffee. Have you tried
the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It is de-
licious and nourishing and takes the place of cof-
fee. The more GRAIN-Oyou give the children
the more health you distribute through their sys-
tems, GRAIN-O is made of pure grains, and
when properly prepared tastes like the choice
grades of coffee but costs about 14 as much. All
grocers sell it. 15c. and 25c¢.

The event of the literary year will be, undoubt-
edly, the great movel upon which Count Tolstoi
has been laboring in order that he may devote
the proceeds to the transportation to Canada of
three thousand Russian Quakers. It is generally
believed by his friends that this. work will proba-
bly mark the conclusion of Count Tolstoi’s lit-
erary career. Not merely on this account, but
because of the subject treated, it will attract
the widest attention, the world over. It is a
profound study of the life of man and woman,
and treats of the three phases of love—that of the
youth, that of the young man, and that of. the
man in mature age. The Cosmopolitan Magazine
announces that it has secured the sole right of
publication. :
