FARM NOTES.
All the seed catalogues advise order-
ing early. In doing so the dealer may look
to his own advantage to a certain extent,
but it is nevertheless good sound advice to
his customers. Nothing can be gained by
procrastination in this matter, but on the
other hand many a hitch and often con-
siderable worry can be saved by having the
seeds on hand in good time.
What often troubles the beginner a good
deal is the proper quantities to order. Ex-
perience is undoubtedly the best teacher,
but until this is gained the tables given in
most seed catalogues of the amounts of the
different seeds required to sow a certain
length of drill will be found useful, and
the quantities may be relied upon as being
amply sufficient. But then there should
be no guesswork. The ground should be
carefully planned and measured so that the
operator can have a thorough understand-
ing of what he is about.
The next thing is the varieties. In most
catalogues these in many of the classes are
numerous to the extent of being bewilder-
ing, so for the benefit of my readers I give
a selection of a few of the most reliable,
placing the varieties in each class in order
or earliness:
Beans (string).-—Farly Valentine, War-
wick or Mohawk, Golden-eyed Wax.
Brussels sprouts.—Improved Half Dwarf.
Bush lima bean.—Henderson’s Burpee’s.
Pole lima bean.—Dreer’s Improved, Large
White, King of the Garden. Beet.—Elec-
tric, Dewing’s Early, Edmond’s Blood
Turnip. Carrots.—Early Scarlet Horn,
. Half Long Danvers. Cabbage.—Early Jer-
sey Wakefield, Henderson’s Succession,
Flat Dutch. Cauliflower.—Early Snow-
ball, Dwarf Erfurt. Celery.—White
Plume, Henderson’s Hall Dwarf, Giant
Pascal. Corn (sweet).—Cory, Minnesota,
Moor’s Concord, Country Gentleman.
Cucumber.—White Spine, Cool and Crisp.
Egg plant.—Improved New York Purple.
Endive.—White Curled, Green Curled
Winter. Lettuce.—Boston Market, Big
Boston, Hartford Bronzed Head. Leek.—
Large American Flag. Onion.-—Southport
White Globe, Yellow Danvers, Wethers-
field. Okra.—White Velvet. Parsnip.—
Hollow Crown. Parsley.—Moss Curled.
Peas.—Prosperity, Heroine, Champion of
England. Pepper.—County Fair, Ruby
Ring. Radish.—White Tipped Scarlet
Turnip, French Breakfast. Salsify.—Mam-
moth Sandwich Island. Swiss chard.—(A
variety of beet cultivated for its leaves.)
Spinach.—Long Standing, Savoy-leaved.
Squash.—Summer Crook Neck, Boston
Marrow, Hubbard. Tomato.—Atlantic
Prize, Favorite, Stone, Acme. Turnip.—
Early Milan, Purple Top White Globe,
White Egg, Golden Ball.
: CAULIFLOWER.
A sowing of seed of the Early Snow-
ball variety should be made now for setting
out into frames where they will mature as
an early spring crop. Another planting
may still be made in the forcing house, but
it is not advisable to plant much later than
this in benches, as, with the approach of
April the sun heat gets so strong as to
cause the plants to flag, no matter how
well they may be supplied with water.
Plants subjected to this flagging influence
seldom mature good, close, tender heads,
but instead are apt to produce those of the
open, hard, and stringy order and which
are practically useless.
Those now nearing the hearting stage
should receive frequent applications of
weak liquid manure. In benches, especial-
ly, they should on no account be allowed
to suffer from lack of moisture at the roots.
Now that the days are getting longer and
brighter they are hard to overdo in this
respect, providing the drainage is good. In
solid beds, of course, less frequent applica-
tions will be needed. For these, and for let-
tuce, radish, and other what might be call-
ed ‘‘cool rooting’’ subjects, solid beds are
preferable to benches.
LETTUCE
These should also be got ready for frame
work. Boston Market or Big Boston varie-
ties are most suitable. Use flats of not
over-rich soil and sow theseed rather thinly
if you are sure of its being good, so there
will be no danger of the plants becoming
crowded before they are of sufficient size to
be easily handled.
TESTING SEEDS
Much disappointment through the fail-
ure of seeds can be averted by the spending
of a little time and trouble on testing.
Many reliable seedsmen test theirseeds be-
fore sending them out and conscientiously
discard those that do not come up to the
proper percentage. If dealing with such
you will have learned to rely on the article
supplied and experience will teach you
that testing will e unnecessary; but if
this is not the case, by all means test them
yourself. The simplest and easiest method
is to count out a few seeds so that you can
tell the exact percentage that germinates.
Place the test seeds in some shallow re-
ceptacle, such as a flower pot saucer,spread-
ing them out, and keeping moist. In the
temperature of an ordinary living room
they will germinate in a few days. The
higher temperature of a greenhouse would,
of course, expedite matters; but the test
will be the same in either case. We have
seen seeds placed between the folds of thick
paper or other moisture retaining material,
and in this way a more even moisture
can be retained with the less fre-
quent addition of water, but the
main point at issue is to never allow them
to become dry. Another advantage of test-
ing is that one also gains an idea of the
vitality of the seed; good, fresh seeds ger-
minate more quickly and with more strength
than older and poorer seeds; though these
later may still retain sufficient vitality to
germinate, they start weak and in conse-
quence are never able to overtake the
stronger, nor produce such good plants.
— American Gardening.
—The fact that plethora, an overfullness
of the blood vessels, is one and really the
predisposing cause, would lead us natural-
ly to expect to meet with milk fever in the
summer time. Dry cows coming out of
winter quarters, where they have general-
ly been kept as cheaply as possible, go into
summer pasture and rapidly gain in flesh.
Milk cows convert the surplus food into
milk, but dry ones put it into fat and mus-
cle, and so after ‘a couple of months at pas-
ture the system becomes overcharged with
blood, for they have and eat more than
enough food to sustain life. The cows have
plenty of exercise, of course, but this very
exercise increases their appetites and makes
them eat more, and unless a cow is given
more exercise than she naturally takes
while at pasture, she becomes in just the
right condition for an attack of milk fever
at calving time. Any one who has had
experience with milk fever knows full well
how uncertain is its outcome and how much
it is to be dreaded. The practice of many
to give a purge a week before calving to
cows in high flesh, in order to clean out
the system, has much to recommend it.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
High, very high, are thesides of the mod-
ish collar band. A clever costumer cuts
them to fit the neck and ears, so that the
band is not uncomfortable, nor does it
choke one in attempting to turn the head.
The collar may be composed of cords or of
fine folds. It looks as if a scoop had been
cut out under the chin, and at the back of
the neck the collar is noticeably lower than
at the sides.
Pretty effects in black and white, to be
worn when the roses bloom, are putting in
their appearance here and there. One, a
dainty black and white dimity dress is
trimmed profusely with white nainsook,
ruffles edged with narrow black lace. It
has a tucked yoke of white nainsook and
the neck and waist ribbons of white satin
are finished with black velvet rosettes.
A pretty turban toque for spring is made
of white mull dotted thick with small jet.
The up-turned side is finished very simply
with a jaunty black velvet bow.
Another symphony in black and white is
a white silk waist completely covered with
innumerable rows of one inch wide black
lace put on horizontally and in waving
lines. The effect is quite weird, some-
what like a bit of strange moonlight.
If elaborate preparations for heavy sales
are significant, then white cotton gowns,
especially embroidered ones, are sure to be
a dominant feature next summer. Few of
such toilets, bear it in mind, will be made
of plain white nainsook, muslin, or pique
more or less conservatively trimmed. The
truly pretty and admirable white dress
will instead be a maze of embroidery and
tucks. Some years ago a costume of that
type represented enormous hand labor and
a huge dressmaker’s bill. This spring
bolts of white stuff, manufactured in alter-
nate stripings of embroidery insertion, fit-
tings of lace and clusters of the most deli-
cate little tucks, will lie on counters at a
price any purse will be able to compass,
and it will require no great amount of
skill to put such a gown in wearing shape
since tucked and lace-edged and gathered
frills are also sold, ready for application in
the shops.
One of the new shirt waists has pointed
shoulder straps, trimmed with linen braid,
a military collar, one broad plait down the
front, with a number of tucks or a few
shirrings each side, and a pointed yoke
back. Another style has flat bretelles of
all-over embroidery, reaching from the
shoulders in front to the waist line. These
bretelles are broad at the top, tapering to
a point at the ends. In pink, blue or lilac
embroidery they are very effective and
novel on a shirt waist, and they partly
cover the deep yoke which finishes the
fronts.
On some waists there is a yoke at the
back, with tucks (like the front) laid hori-
zontally, and machine stitched in a color
matching the embroidery. On the others
applied box plaits are laid in curving lines
down the back, and with narrow tucks be-
tween when the waist is designed for a
very slender person. :
That noted artist, William M. Chase,
has been giving the Cincinnatti Commercial
Tribune some pointers concerning the prop-
er colors that should enter into feminine
costumes. His views on the subject are
reported thus:
‘‘Blondes should always choose what are
known among artists as cool colors; for ex-
ample, blues, pinks; greens, the many
shades of violet, also white or black.
Brunettes have all the warm tones—yellow,
orange, red, with a few purples and blues
—to select from.
‘It is more difficult for a blonde than a
brunette to dress becomingly. Only
blondes with perfect complexions ought
ever to attempt pale blues. Yet it is very
generally becoming to brunettes. Such
women do not need perfect complexions, as
it throws out what little color they may
have in cheeks and lips, and has the effect
of clearing the skin.
‘‘The same may be said of delicate
shades of yellow, while the reverse is true
of pink. Almost any type excepting a
very red blonde—I mean one with a florid
skin—may wear pink safely, whereas the
brunette or brown haired woman has to be
careful to secure the right shade. She
needs a pink with a suggestion of yellow.
Another thing to remember about pink—it
is a shocking tell-tale, revealing the rav-
ages of time in the cruelest way. When-
ever the concealment of age is a considera-
tion it should be avoided.
‘‘Moreover, let every woman bear in
mind that pink and red should be worn
above in preference to below the face. I
never saw a woman who was improved by
one of these pink or red collars they are
wearing now—what do you call them?
Stocks. Well, red and pink stocks take
the color out of the face, and, as a rule,
make the complexion yellow.
“But the strangest mistake to me is that
women insist on wearing a color simply be-
cause it is fashionable and without any re-
gard to becomingness.
‘If you clever shoppers would only take
the goods before buying. throw it against
the face and use your eyes, you could
easily decide whether or not a color was be-
coming. When you do chance to have an
unbecoming tone, the effect can be modi-
fied by using white or cream near the face.
White for blondes and cream for brunettes.
That is a point which women would do
well to remember. Obly the fairest and
best-cared-for blondes should risk ivory
white. All others had best cling to cream
tints.
‘Dark greens, blues and purples must
never be attempted by women who have
dark circles under their eyes or whose faces
have a tendency to hollows. Such women
need flame-red, for instance.
‘‘A red-haired woman had best shun all
the reds. Though missing some beautiful
shades, I think she has wider range to se-
lect from than any other type, unless it is
the brilliant brunette.
‘‘Of course, no woman, whose hair has
the slightest suggestion of gold or sun-
shine should wear yellow next to it.
Nothing takes away the color and lustre so
completely. Various shades of red and the
lighter blues look well; then, of course,
white or a bit of bright purple; but other
colors, well, I think it safest for the ma-
jority to avoid using them in the hair.
‘‘From the standpoint of an artist, I ad-
mire white and black gowns more than any
other. When properly designed I have
never seen a woman to whom such a dress
was unbecoming.”
The waist line has taken unto itself a
distinct forward dip. If there’s anything
that gives a wretchedly provincial look ’tis
the waise line which sags in the back.
Most of the new skirts are being made so
tight in the upper part that it will be al-
most impossible to wear petticoats. A skirt
buttoned down the back in the prevailing
mode certainly has one decided advantage
—it obviates any possibility of the open
placket hole.
Woman’s Weapons.
After dinner the talk ran upon the claims
made by the new woman for the ballot and
higher wages. Theold doctor listened in
silence awhile and then said:
‘I have nothing to say asto woman’s
rights, but I have an opinion as to the way
in which she should urge them. Let me
recall one or two facts.
‘“The straw worker’s near Florence, in
Italy, some little time ago struck for higher
pay. The soldiers were called in by their
employers. When the troops arrived in a
railroad train they found hundreds of wom-
en, young and old, seated on the track,
‘like nothing so much, said an eyewitness,’
‘as a flock of cackling hens.’
“The crowd stood around, laughing and
joking with Italian delight in fun. The
engine drawing the train stopped, then,
threatening to run over them, moved for-
ward a foot or two. The women laughed
and calmly sat still. The troops were then
drawn up in line, and pointed their musk-
ets at them.
‘‘“The women sat immovable, good hum-
ored, but resolute. They knew the order
to fire would not be given. In the end
they won their point simply by calm, good
humored determination. Their strength,
as they wisely apprehended, lay in cheer-
ful persistence in their demands. ‘Tact,
common sense and a gentle, courteous bear-
ing are woman’s weapon’s, and they have
worked marvels in human history.’
Teacher's Wages.
A few comparisons to show the pay of
school teachers in Pennsylvania and other
States will prove timely: The average
wages for teachers in this State are for men,
$340.24, and for women, $306.64. In
Massachusetts the average is $1319.50 for
men and $483.82 for women; New York,
$650.30 and $464.50, and Illinois
$463 and $339. In the country districts of
Pennsylvania the pay is about three-sev-
enths as much as in the boroughs and cities.
In this State the pay for both men and
women in the country will average $225.
The pay for women in the boroughs is about
$225, and in the cities from $400 to $680.
The average wages of women teachers in
Erie is $400; Pittsburg, $550; Allegheny,
$580, and Philadelphia, $680.
In Pennsylvania there are seventeen
teachers who get less than $100 each per
year; 1270 who are paid less than $150,
and 6653 less than $200. Last year the
wages of the State’s teachers were reduced
an average of 94 cents, and the year before
$3.73. New York’s teachers had their
wages advanced last year an average of
$8.06, and the year before $3.69.
A Youthful Pessimist.
A New England school teacher preserves
among her treasures the composition of a
former pupil, a boy of 12. It has its pa-
thetic side, as the meagerness of the boy’s
life may be conjectured from his words.
The subject given was: ‘Anticipation.
Do you enjoy it as much as realization?’
Dictionaries were diligently consulted,
and the general vote placed anticipation on
a high plane of delight. Not so wrote the
solemn-faced boy of 12:—
Anticipation is when you think about
things beforehand. If it’s having your
teeth out, that isn’t much fun, and if it’s
Sunday school picnics you can’t help worry-
ing about the weather.
Realization is when the things you've
thought about beforehand happen. Hav-
ing your teeth out is a little worse than
thinking about it. Sunday school picnics
would be nice if it didn’t rain, but when
it rains they put them off, and then the
day they bave them generally you can’t go.

His Bird Buried With Him.
A curious case of the death of a boy,
Clarence Hewes. and his pet canary bird,
came to light at Chester last week. Friday
night the boy was taken ill and begged to
have his bird by his side. It was given
him and he had it at the time of his death.
The bird was placed back in its cage after
the boy’s death and there it started to sing.
The next day the bird was found dead at
the bottom of the cage, possibly having in
its own way grieved over the boy’s death,
and when the hoy was buried yesterday
the bird was placed on his breast in the
coffin and buried with him.
Reyes Surrendered.
Marines Landed at Bluefields from English and
American Ships.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 28, via Gal-
veston, Tex.—General Reyes, the rebel
commander, surrendered voluntarily yes-
terday at Bluefields to Captains Simmonds
and Burr, commanding the United States
gunboat Marietta and the British second-
class cruiser Interpie, who then landed 80
marines for police duty.
Bluefields has been turned over to Presi-
dent Zelaya’s soldiers, under General Reul-
ing, on condition that they keep order and
spare the lives of the Revolutionists.
State Has Less Than a Million.
General Fund is Lower Than it Has Been for Years.
The State’s finances in the general fund
are below $1,000,000, the lowest for years.
At the close of business for February there
was $816,813.99 in the general fund, and
$166,169.75 had been advanced to members
and employes of the Legislature, which is
carried as cash, making the whole sum of
$983,007.74. Philadelphia banks held the
following sums:

Plans to be Competitive.
HARRISBURG, March 1.—The bill to
prohibit the sale or gift of liquor on Mem-
orial day was favorably reported from com-
mittee to-day.
Mr. Adams, of Philadelphia, introduced
a bill providing that the capitol commission
shall cause to be inserted once a week for
three weeks in a newspaper in Philadel-
phia, one in Harrisburg and one in Pitts-
burg a desire toreceive plans and specifica-
tions which bids shall be opened by the
commission thirty days after the first ad-
vertisement. The advertisement shall call
for granite, which shall enclose the build-
ing and the erection of extensions to the
building, with the removals of the build-
ings now occupied by the Secretary of In-
ternal Affairs and the Secretary of Agri-
culture. The plans accepted shall carry a
prize of $2,000, with a second prize of
$1,000. The total cost of the construction
and completion of the building, finishing
and furnishing, shall not exceed $4,000,-
000. The building shall be finished by
January, 1903. This is the second capitol
bill introduced.
Price of Steel Billets Goes Up.
PITTSBURG, March 1.—An advance of
fifty cents a ton .was made to-day in steel
billets and Bessemer pig iron. Billets are
quoted at $23 per ton and Bessemer pig at
$13.50. Under the scale agreement of the
Amalgamated association the advance in
steel billets will be followed by an increase
of 8 per cent in the wages of the skilled
workmen. The advance will affect about
16,000 men.
Notices were posted at all the blast fur-
naces at Sharon and Sharpsville to-day in-
creasing the wi of the employes from
ten to fifteen cents a day. Fifteen hundred
men will be benefitted.

Gen. Sherman wielded the pen no less vigor-
ously than the sword, and was always noted for
the frankness and incisiveness of his speech. It
is this outspokenness that gives half its charm to
the extracts in the March Century from the diary
of his tour to Europe in 1871-2. Amongst ihe
potentates he met were the Pope, the Sultan and
the Khedive. At Sebastopol, one of his fellow-
guests at dinner at the Russian Embassy was
Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, who had
made a reputation in the Franco-Prussian war.
An incident of the occasion is thus tersely de-
scribed:
“The dinner was formal and without interest,
and afterward we all passed down to the sitting
room to smoke. There a grand Turkish pipe was
served to the prince, but to nobody else, and
though I first. thought it was accidental, I soon
saw that it was etiquette, and even I must look on
a prince as hedged around by some divine rights
and privileges. Fred Grant, perceiving this per-
sonal slight to me, most courteously came and of-
ferred me cigars and cigarettes. I took one of
the latter, lighted it, and smoked it in unison
with the prince general. As a general, his fame
is established; as a prince he is not the subject of
criticism; as a gentleman, he will rank very low,
and thus is one of the delusions of my life van-
ished.”
