FARM NOTES.
Don’t tinker at your bees every day.
Don’t tear open the brood nest unless
there is real necessity.
Don’t spread the brood nest in the spring
by inserting combs or frames of founda-
tion.
Don’t allow any colonies to run short of
feed.
Don’t put off making or buying hives
until the swarms hang out. .
Don’t wait until the honey flow is on
you before ordering surplus supplier.
Don’t expect the supply dealer to fill all
orders in one day.
—It has been remcomended to pile or
scatter various substances around the base
of peach trees to keep out the borers.
Professor M. V. Slingerland tested tobacco
stems (midribs of the leaves) from a fac-
tory by winding them around the base of
the trees and found the results astonishing.
Evidently the tobacco kept out from two-
thirds to three-fifths of the borers. Where
the stems are cheaply obtainable they
would seem worth trying.
—A rye pasture is very desirable in early
spring, and it will be but a short time be-
fore green rye may be used; but there are
two things to observe. One is, that, if the
cows are allowed to remain too long on rye
at first, they will be liable to the ‘‘scours,”
as young rye is very laxative in its effects.
The other is, that, if the ground is wet, the
tramping of the rye by the cattle will se-
riously injure it. Judgment mustbe ex-
ercised in utilizing the green rye early in
the season.
—Cheap hotbeds may be used where it is
inconvenient to resort to glass, especially
at this season, when the weather is not
severely cold. Make a square frame of
lumber, with a single bar down the centre,
and cover it with heavy unbleached mus-
lin, which may be painted with two coat-
ings of hoiled linseed oil. After the hot-
bed is nearly filled with manure lay on soil
until within three or four inches of the
muslin at the lower side of the slope. The
manure and dirt will settle and allow more
room for growth as the plants progress.
—This spring and summer the cabbage
worm will no doubt cause much annoy-
ance. The white butterfly, the parent of
the cabbage worm, is usually early in put-
ting in an appearance if the plants are well
advanced. There are many excellent reme-
dies, but the majority are open to objec-
tions. Pure Paris green is effectual, but
the sale of the cabbages will be injured if
it is known that the poison is used. It
has occurred in which ill effects have re-
sulted to consumers. Kerosene leaves a
disagreeable odor, though it is fatal to the
worms. One pound of pyrethrum leaves,
mixed with 100 gallons of water, will kill
every worm with which it comes in con-
tact, and the remery is harmless to man.
—The hog’s legs perform a function not
known to any other animal, says the Bulch-
ers’ Magazine, and that is an escape pipe
or pipes for the discharge of waste matter
or sweat not used in the economy of the
body. These escape pipes are situated up-
on the inside of the legs, above and below
the knee in the fora legsand above the gam-
brel joints in the hind legs, but in the lat-
ter they are very small and the functions
light. Upon the inside of the fore legs
they are, in the healthy hog, always active,
so that moisture, is always there from about
and below these orifices or ducts in the
healthy hog. The holes in the leg and
breathing in the hog are his principal and
only means of ejecting an excess of heat
above normal, and when very warm the
hog will open the mouth and breathe
through that channel as well as the nostrils.
The horse can perspire through all the
pores of its body, much as a man’ and cat-
tle do the same to a limited extent, but
the hog never. His escape valyes are con-
fined to the orifices upon the inside of his
legs. People often wonder why it is that
the hog dies.so suddenly when he runs
rapidly or takes quick and violent exercise
by fighting. But when you consider the
few escape pipes, their small capacity and
remoteness from the cavity where the heat
is generated, the wonder is not that he
dies quickly when overheated, but that he
lives as long as he does when heated up.
—A day’s ride on any of our railroads
would present to our views the barrenness
of the average home grounds. This condi-
tion is a result of natural causes found al-
ways in countries where the development
has been phenomenal. The first settlers
had but the one idea, to make everything
count towards financial benefit, consequent-
ly any money spent in horticultural pro-
duets was confined chiefly to the planting
.of certain fruits having a commercial value.
As immigration and development progress-
ed westward the people remaining natural-
ly turned their attention to the improve-
ment of their places by the planting of or-
namental trees and shrubs, the New Eng-
land States taking the lead, and this prac-
‘tice is now gradually following westward
the commercial planting of previous years.
The first value of town or city lots varies
‘but little, being governed by distance from
the proposed business center, but very soon
we find on some streets the price per foot is
far in excess of other locations. The rea-
son, however, is very evident—improve-
ments—fine road beds, uniform planting of
shade trees, smooth lawns and artistic ar-
rangement of shrubs. All this may have
been brought about through the influence
of one resident. We now have environ-
ments, increasing all future property values
.adjacent to this one street.
Another illustration. We take two lots
on an improved street, building two houses
identical in cost and construction. One lot
has good walks, a fine lawn, and is taste-
fully planted with shade trees and shrubs
while the other is neglected, with perhaps
the exception of a few unsuitable shrubs
planted in wrong places. How much more
would a contemplative purchaser give for
the one than he would for the other ? This
is simply increasing a local value by ex-
pending a few dollars together with a lit-
tle labor, it being absolutely the only meth-
od to increase the value of this, or any oth-
er lot, on that particular street.
There is nothing more plainly evident to
the owners of property than the importance
of planting as a means of increasing values
and nothing more deplorable when we
realize that it has been so universally
ignored. There is, however, much en-
couragement from the knowledge gained
from interviews with many large nursery
firms, that during the last ten years sales
of ornamental stock have increased at least
fifty per cent., showing that education in
this work is now running in the right di-
rection.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
If you are having a new tailor suit made
there are few styles newer than those that
have prevailed all winter.
The Eton jacket with the long fronts is
still the thing.
Don’t make a mistake by having ii cut
short in the back. The new Eton does not
show anything of the girdle except its lower
edge. It slopes downward after it leaves
the underarm seams, and some of the new
fronts are twelve inches below the belt
line. They may be either pointed or round-
ed. The jacket may be single-breasted or
slightly double-breasted.
One sees little braid used on the morn-
ing suits. Rows upon rows of stitching
form the one trimming. The seams are
not strapped as much as formerly, and
many of the fronts have scrolls of stitched
bands of cloth to accentuate the breadth of
the chest.
The shoulder seams are very long, the
backs are abnormally broad, padded out
with stitched buckram if one has a narrow
back. Sleeves are put in without any ful-
ness, the armholes cut large enough to al-
low the shirt waist sleeves easy passage.
The sleeves are very long and shaped
narrower at the wrist, the effect being that
of a man’s peg-topped trousers. The stitch-
ing at the wrist is not put at the bottom
of the sleeve, but about three inches above
it.
It is as fashionable to show the buttons
on the coat as it is to fasten them under a
fly. In the double-breasted coat the but-
tons are always in two rows.
Isn’t it a pity that so many people are
disagreeable ?
This quality is due to many things. It
may be disease lurks behind it: it may be
owing to lack of instruction during *‘child-
hood’s happy hour,’ orto a villainous, un-
curbed temper; it may be a misguided,
ignorant way of ‘‘showing off;’’ perhaps
the offender has been upset by being ‘‘cloth-
ed in a little brief authority ;’’ or maybe—
but why pursue so bald an argument?
There are more ‘‘maybes’’ than there’s
time to enumerate them. Of course, we're
not counting the persons who are the vic-
tims of some disagreeable feature or habit,
such as untidyness, but rather the disagree-
ablenss which seems own brother to ‘‘pure
cussedness.’’
There have actually been people of no
breeding whatever who fancied being dis-
agreeable gave them a certain prestige.
The mouth is the frankest part of the
face. It can the least conceal the feelings.
We can neither hide ill-temper with it nor
good. We may affect what we please, but
affectations will not help us. In a wrong
cause it will only make our observers re-
sent the endeavor to impose upon them. A
mouth should be of good natural dimen-
sions, as well as plamp in the lips. When
the ancients, among their beauties, made
mention of small mouths and lips, they
meant small only as opposed to an excess
the other way, a faul’ very common in the
South. The sayings in favor of small
mouths, which have been the ruin of so
many pretty looks, are very absurd. If
there must be an excess either way, it had
better be the liberal one. A pretty, pursed-
up mouth is fit for nothing but to be left
to its complacency. Large mouths are
oftener found in union with generous dis-
positions than very small ones.
Wise is the woman who doesn’t expect a
man to love her when he is busy.
The rule of ‘‘absolute letting alone’ is
the safest one for the tiny morsels of hu-
manity who have not yet developed
‘“‘nerves.”” It may seem difficult to keep
from talking to, and amusing the little
ones who is just beginning to ‘‘take no-
tice,”” but the less babies are talked to
and ‘‘fussed over’’ the first year the better.
All the success in after training, indeed,
depends on this calm ‘‘letting alone,’’
leaving the nerves unwrought upon, and
allowing the little frame time to become
accustomed to the strain upon it of ac-
quaintance with this restless, rioting world
of ours. There is also great wisdom in
continuing this kind of wholesome neglect
through childhood and youth. People are
afraid their children will be dull and back-
ward if they are not excited to forward-
ness. There may be instances of this
need, but they are certainly very rare in
the present generation.
To make potato nests. Select some large
potatoes and bake them in the oven. When
tender, cut a slice off the top of each and
carefully scoop out some of the interior.
Rub this through a fine sieve and mix with
it one ounce of butter, one tablespoonful of
cream, salt and pepper. Put this into a
stewpan and stir over the fire till hot.
Then move it on one side and add the
beaten whites of two eggs. Fill the potato
skins with this mixture and brush them
over with warmed butter. Place them on
a fancy dish-paper on a hot dish and garnish
with parsley.
In foot wear there are going to be some
lively changes. The athletic girl having
dominated shoedom long enough, the rest
of the sisterhood has come to its senses.
While realizing that calfskin bulldogs are
the thing for golf links promenading, they
also passionately realize that these heavy,
square-toed abominations are not to be en-
dured for wear with handsome dresses. So,
while one pair of ‘‘stogies’’ accompanies
our fair tourist, she is also provided with a
number of dainty pairs of Oxfords, as well
as evening slippers to match the dainty
evening dresses.
A well-dressed woman is not necessarily
expensively dressed, and it is possible that
clothes may be both costly and well made
and yet the general appearance of the
wearer anything but desirable. The rea-
son, then, will probably be that her clothes
are not suitable for the work or the pleas-
ure that she has in hand, or that their
colors are not well chosen, or that they are
not neatly and trimly put on. There is
an immense deal in the way people put on
their clothes; some people are always neat
and dainty in every tiny detail, and others
say that ‘‘so long as the general effect is
good little things don’t watter,”’ for it
never occurs to them that it is just the at-
tention to ‘‘little things’’ which makes
good general effect possible. The woman
of refinement is never loudly dressed, but
she is always absolutely dainty. She may
be poor and have to earn her living, but
still there will be no mistaking her. She
will perhaps wear a somewhat shabby serge
costume, but it will be well brushed, and
instead of decking herself out with fluffy
lace and ribbon neck arrangements, which
soon crush and soil, you will notice that
she favors linen collarsand cuffs and a neat
tie. She is never guilty of overdressing, a
fault more common with the average than
with the wealthy woman, for though ‘‘the
sweetest blouse in the world—all tucked
silk and lace,’’ and ‘‘a darling little rose
toque’’ are to be had in sale time for about
the same sum as she would have to give
for a well-made cotton shirt waist and a
simply trimmed straw hat, she knows that
the former would be out of keeping with
the rest of her clothes and her -surround-
ings generally, and that, being unsuitable,
they would look vulgar, bowever pretty
they might be in themselves.
One Cent Revenue Required.
The authorities have just sent out the
edict that all mail carriers or hack drivers
who carry packages from one town to anoth-
er for pay, must see that such packages
have a one cent revenue stamp attached to
a receipt given for the package. In other
words all such carriers are viewed the same
as express companies in this regard. Of
course where a package is lifted from an
express office or taken to such office the
one stamp is all that is necessary. A mail
carrier, however, who only occasionally
carries packages as an accommodation and
not for hire, would not be considered as
common carrier within the meaning of the
law, and would not be obliged to issue or
stamp receipts for such packages.
