FARM NOTES.
Select seed corn that has been kept in a
dry place, as that in the crib, if it was ex-
posed last winter, may be injured to a cer-
tain extent. Dampness in winter is not
favorable to seed corn, as the corn will not
stand freezing and thawing. Careful farm-
ers hang the ears in the barn loft, so as to
permit of the corn becoming perfectly dry.
In the use of ashes on land in place of
potash salts the farmer, also applies consid-
erable lime, which is largely found in the
ashes, and much of the benefit to the soil
from the ashes is due to the lime. Ashes
are excellent on sandy soils, and are also
one of the best fertilizers that can be used
on clover, beans, peas and other legumin-
ous crops. When purchasing ashes they
should be procured only from reliable par-
ties, as they may be leached before market-
ed and sold as unleached. It isdifficult to
detect the loss of potash when the leached
ashes are procured.
Many pastures are ruined in the begin-
ning by turning stock on the grass before
the plants are well established. Trampling
of the pastures by the feet of cattle does
more harm than the eating of the grass.
The first year of the pasture should be de-
voted entirely to its growth, When the
grass reaches a height that permits of its
beiug cut it is better to run the mower over
it, catting high. Fertilizers and manure
should be used liberally, and should weeds
make an appearance it will pay to cut them
out, as under no circumstances should they
be allowed to produce seed.
There is no need to have currant bushes
despoiled and the fruit injured by worms.
Hellebore is the best known remedy and
perfectly effectual; it is harmless if proper-
ly applied. Use as follow: Look at the
leaves near the ground and if numerous
small holes are present the worms have be-
gun work; now sprinkle powdered helle-
bore over these leaves, renewing it if wash-
ed off by rain, and the desired end is ac-
complished. If the hellebore remains upon
the leaves during the time the young
worms are hatching, all will be killed and
no farther trouble will ensue. If some es-
cape there will be a second brood in June;
these should he watched and destroyed the
same as before.
Custom has done much to cause failure
in dairying. On hundreds of farms the
milking is done by men who have pipes in
their mouths or whose hands have not been
washed, while the washing of the teats and
udders of the.cows is never done. It is
well known that despite the use of stanch-
ions and clean bedding there is considerable
filth in the stalls, the result being that
more or less of the solid and liquid manure
adheres to the adder; and if the stalls are
made damp-during ‘the night by the cow
her sides will also be covered with filth.
When cows are on the pasture their udders
are cleaner. ‘at night than in the morning,
but at all milkings the hands of the milker
should be washed, and also the udders and
teats of the cows. The strainer can remove
portions of the solid filth in the milk, but
all filth that dissolves in water is carried
into the pail with the milk. Soap, water,
the currycomb and brush should be used
on every cow twice a day.
Four years ago many Long Island cu-
cumber growers thought the pickle indus-
try of that section doomed. Only a few
seasons before yields of 120,000 small cu-
cumbers *‘pickles’’ has not been uncommon;
and the orops, finding ready sale in cash
markets, had brought comfortable additions
to the bank accounts of the growers.
The rapid advance of a destructive ene-
my soon changed this pleasant condition,
and made the future prospects of the indus-
try a dismal one. Downy mildew (Plas-
mopara cubensis), or, asitis commonly
called, ‘‘blight,’”’ appeared and spread so
rapidly that it threatened the destruction
of all late-planted vines in every part of
the island. Yields lessened rapidly from
year to year, and in 1895 the growers sold
less than a quarter of a full crop. The sea-
son’s balance had to be placed on the wrong
side of the ledger; for nearly all pickle rais-
ers lost money. Small wonder that they
despaired! The mysterious enemy was
active, and was increasing in strength; and
they know not how to meet the foe. No
successful remedy for the disease was
known, or at least none was generally used.
In 1896 the New York Agricultural Ex-
periment Station attacked the problem, and
in a moststriking experiment proved that
the dreadful mildew could be easily, effec-
tively and profitably combated. Additional
tests along the same line weré¢ made in. 1897,
‘and it was shown that not only the pickle
crop from late-planted vines, but the early
cucumbers as well, can be protected against
the most common : diseases attacking them
by afew sprayings with Bordeaux mixture.
Last season additional experiments were
carried on, with similar results. The at-
tacks of mildews were easily and almost
completely prevented, and the owners of
sprayed fields made good profits, while
nearly all other growers on the island fail-
ed to get sufficient returns to pay them for
the land and labor devoted to their crops.
- How were these results obtained?
Simply by spraying the vines with Bor-
deaux mixture (1 to 8 formula), beginning
about July 20th, and repeating the appli-
cation every eight or ten days until frost.
This required seven or eight applications,
and each treatment cost from $2.43 to $3.29
per acre, varying with the size of the field,
distance necessary to carry water, and oth-
er factors. The figures include all items of
expense—wear and tear of apparatus, chem-
jcals and freightage on them, and a very
liberal allowance for labor. A half day for
men and team was charged against each ap-
plication, while in many cases the work
was all done in two or three hours. The
cost would probably be much reduced in
spraying larger areas, the largest field in
this test containing less than two and one
quarter acres.
The apparatus used consisted of a barrel
with detachable.top, to which ‘was fastened
an Eclipse spray pumpand two twenty-foot’
leads of hose, each provided at first with
one ‘‘Deming Vermorel’’/nozzle, and later
when: the vines: become larger,” with two:
nozzles connected by brass tubing, so bent
that the nozzles were about eighteen inches
apart. This outfit, exclusive of the cart or
wagon which may be found on every farm,
cost $27.46 when set up ready for work.
The proof seems complete that pickles
can be grown at a profit upon Long Island
if on good soil, properly cared for, and
thoroughly sprayed. :
The station recommends no particular
cultural methods, leaving these to the judg-
ment of the grower. It does say with all
emphasis, that thorough spraying, begun
between July 15th and August 1st, as the
season demands, and continued at intervals
of eight or ten days until frost kills the
vines, will most effectually prevent mil-
dew, and allow the plants to mature the
best crops the soil and surroundings will
produce. :
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation
depraves it. Coquetry is the thorn that
guards the rose—easily trimmed off when
once plucked. Flirtation is like the slime
‘on water plants, making them hard to
handle, and when caught, only to be cher-
ished in slimy waters. Donald G. Mitchell.

The unpopular girl is the girl whose talk
isall of I, I, I, who takes no interest in
anybody else, and cares for nothing but the
sound of her own voice.
The girl who says unkind things of her
friends and relatives in their absence, who
is always telling tales and making mis-
chief.
The girl who looks down upon her moth-
er, and snubs her brothers and sisters, and
grumbles generally about her home.
The girl who is rude and disagreeable to
those whom she considers her inferiors,and
who never shows any consideration for one
poorer than herself. :
The girl who is so vain of her personal
appearance that she thinks everybody is
looking at her, and cannot talk toa man
for five minutes without fishing for a com-
pliment.
Rice and the favorite Panama straws are
trimmed with great bows of stitched taffeta.
Others have one large pompon of chiffon or
silk muslin, with an" immense quill laid
against the crown under the pompon. x
Delightfully dainty little mull hats, in
all the light shades and in black are as .rea-.
sonable as $2.95. All they require for trim-
ming is a large stitched bow of taffeta.
These hats have soft accordion plaited frills
on the under and upper part of the brim,
which makes them unusually becoming.
Short back sailors in Panama and Milan
straws are on the bargain counter for 48
cents.
For knock about wear the large felt and
straw sombreros are a general favorite this
year. Very reasonable and pretty ones are
shown with a scarf tied in a knot at the left
side, with a large strong quill run through
the knot.
Among the stylish turbans which are
worn over the face is one of black plaited
braid, and straw forms part of the trim-
ming. The hat is outlined with a plume
of softly gathered maline, and is fastened
to the brim in front with a fancy steel
buckle. The green leaves at the left side
give the one touch of color.
Sleeves are worn very long, falling over
the hand. A pretty style is to cut the
sleeve at the wrist so that it forms three
square tabs, which can be edged with
ruches or lace frills. A favorite cut has
the seam to the elbow, and is almost close
fitting.
At Atlantic city pique and duck skirts
are worn morning, noon and night. With
a pique shirt waist, very mannish as to cut,
with collar and necktie in accord, "there is
no smarter morning attire. For the noon
luncheon my lady could either select a
lighter weight waist or one in colored wash
silk which, with a soft mull tie or fanciful
stock, gave an entirely different air to the
whole toilette, while at evening a waist
quite elaborate in the matter of embroidery
with a very Parisian tulle bow held by
some dainty pin and with a unique fan
chain gave her quite the appearance of
smart dressing without any particular ex-
pense or trouble.
| A decidedly fetching toilette may be ob-
tained by wearing with the white duck
skirt a little black Eton jacket with pique
revers. I do not advise this for a very hot
day, but when the breezes blow chill and
the need of a wrap is felt this device dis-
counts all the golf capes in the matter of
style and is equally as warm. .
A slight variation from the pique I have
noted is a black and white crash skirt in
polka dots, black ground with tiny white
pin-head. spots. With this was worn a
double-breasted Eton of white pique with
revers of the black and white. A chemisette
of pique finished it in very good style. It
isn’t hard to dress well in warm weather
provided you have a few absolutely correct
garments that need not be of the most ex-
travagant type to live up to this deserip-
tion.
The pronounced hips of last spring have
departed; likewise, alas! the very expen-
sive corset that helped to accomplish the
pinched waist and shelf hip. Just now
there is demanded a rounded bust placed,
for the first time in years, normally. The
chest must be high and well developed, the
waist always small compared to Venus, but
not small enough to be uncomfortable.
There must positively be no protuberance
‘below in front,:and thes cut of fashionable
gowns helps about this. The important
parts of the figure are the back below the
waist line and: the hips. The figure there
‘must be round, the outcurve at the back
being justabout the same as the outearve
of the hips. This means that the hips
must not be too large.
There isa standard for you! Upon such
a figure a woman may safely hang any
style of the season, even oneof absolute
simplicity.
To clean stained white goods put half an
ounce of saltsof tartar into a bottle with
half an ounce of sal ammoniac, add half a
pint of warm water and shake the bottle
until the salts and the sal ammoniac have
dissolved. Stretch’ the stained portion of
the fabric over a small basin and pour some
of the liquid over it. If the stain has been
recently made it will soon disappear, but
if the linen has already been washed it will
probably be necessary to repeat the process
several times, and the fabric shouid be very
gently rubbed now and then. When the
mark is no longer visible rinse the linen
at once in hot water, and then wash it
well with soft soap and hot water and let it
dry in the sun.
Don’t sprinkle salt for celery on the cloth
or on your plate. Dip your celery in the
salt cellar in front of you. If shakers are
used put some on the individual bread
plate. :
Don’t tuck your napkin anywhere, lay it
upfolded once on your lap. = -
Don’t wipe your mouth, if necessary
just press the lips with one corner of the
napkin.
Don’t have individual butter plates;
they are passe. Bread and butter plates
are almost exclusively used now.
Don’t butter bread and then break or
bite it. Butter each small portion as you
want it.
Don’t spoon soup. toward you, push the
spoon away from you and always take it
from the side of the spoon. '
Don't ask for a second helping of soup |
or anything at a formal dinner, it is in |
execrable taste.
Don’t above all things make a moise in
eating. Nothing is so ill bred. 5 dn
Don't unfold your napkin without feel-
ing if your soup bread is inside, you may
be very much mortified by having a ‘ca:
tastrophe. - :
Origin of “Rubber Neck.”
The familiar slang phrase of the hour
which dubs the curious one a ‘‘rubber
neck”’ is a: coinage of so old a date that out
in the wilds of the West they. are chuck-
ling to themselves over our supposed dis-
covery of their long-forgotten term of de-
rision. Sy :
"Tt was in Wisconsin that the rubber neck
was born 10 years ago. The lumbermen
who spent their lives in the solitudes of
the vast woods and lived with the trees,
birds and animals for months at a time,
first won the appellation.
At stated intervals the sturdy woodsmen
gathered up their accumulated savings and
steered for the nearest town. The western
town, which grows almost in a night, un-
derwent such kaleidoscopic changes be-
tween visits that the denizens of the forests
were in a constant amaze. They stretched
their necks hither and you to take in the
curious sights. They gasped at the new
buildings, they stared at everything from
the shop windows to the pretty girls, and
their constantly moving heads won them
the sobriquet of ‘rubber necks.”’
— It was something unusual when two
prominent New York lawyers in turn ask-
ed to be relieved of the task the court had
assigned them—that of defending the nurse
girl, Carrie Jones, charged with complicity
in ‘the kidnapping of . the child Marion
Clark. Both said they were fathers of
‘families and had very decided views about
visiting gunimary punishment upon persons
guilty of this hideous crime. "At'the judge’s
‘request, they then undertook the case
jointly, and, after consulting with their
client, announced she would be a state wit-
ness against the real kidnappers. :
Lemon Sherbet.
Soak one tablespoonful of gelatine
in one-half cupful of cold water ten min-
utes. Add one quart of cold water, the
juice of six lemons and three cups of sugar.
When the sugaris dissolved pour in the
freezer, freeze for half an hour, remove the
dasher if the sherbet is stiff, pack the mix-
ture and let stand for one hour.
A Monster Plece of Iron.
On a Pennsylvania freight car recently
the Bethlehem steel company loaded one
single piece of armor plate that weighed
112,056 pounds. It is to be used in a Rus-
sian battleship which the Cramps are build-
ing, and is one of the group of six mam-
moth pieces for the same ship. The same
company also shipped. recently plates
for the superstructure of the Alabama to
Newport News. They are not so heavy.

Books, Magazines, Etc.
‘A rather curious fact is pointed out by the
writer of an article in the July Century on “The
Making of ‘Robinson Crusoe.’” There are two
monuments to Alexander Selkirk, it seems, and
not a single one of Daniel Defoe; yet if Selkirk’s
adventures as a castaway had not been taken as
the theme of the novelist’s immortal story—the
only English book that rivals “Pilgrim's Pro-
gress” in popularity—the present generation
would probably never have known of the Scotch }
sailor's existence. On one of the two monuments
referred to is a statue at Selkirk’s birthplace,
Large; the otheris a tablet on the “Lookout,” two
thousand feet above the sea, on Juan Fernandez
island.
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-O you 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 se!l it. 15c¢., and 25¢. 43-50-17

farmer. The more conservative farmer wants to see the goods before he buys, and buy where he can
get repairs when needed, for he knows that the best machinery will wear out in time. Goods wel 1
bought is money saved. Money saved is money earned. Buy from the largest house, biggest stock»
