FARM NOTES.
—Many a horse has been spoiled by his
master leaving him unhitched about the
farm while the owner went to visita neigh-
bor or do some other piece of work. Never
give a horse an opportunity to run away,
This is especially true of a young horse,
full of life.
—Grape vines will not thrive on low,
wet soils; they succeed best on high, dry
ground, having enough slope to carry off
all surplus water. A location giving a fine
circulation of air is desirable, as in such
locations there is less liability to mildew
of foliage or rotting of the fruit.
—A common practice among Maryland
peach growers, and one to be commended,
is to plant the orchard on land that was in
some cultivated crop the previous season.
The gist of the whole matter is this. The
soil cannot he too well prepared before
planting the trees. Itis difficult to cor-
rect faulty preparation after the trees have
been set. :
—There is quite a difference in the ad-
vantages of budding and grafting. The
proper time for budding is any period when
good bulbs can be procured and the bark
will run on the stocks. Peaches and roses
are always budded, but grafting is used on
apples, pears and grapes. Budding is
sometimes done in order to change the tops
of quite young fruit trees. Dry weather is
not favorable to budding, and as a rule
budding is not as successful as grafting.
—Bones may be dissolved by the use of
unleached wood ashes, especially if they
are broken or ground. The proportions
for a fertilizer, used by some farmers, are
one barrel of raw bone flour, three barrels
dry wood ashes 50 pounds of gypsum and
ten gallons of water. The materials are
placed in a heap upon the floor and stirred
with a hoe while the water is added. The
mass is kept moist, aud in two or three
weeks will be ready for use. Five barrels
of this mixture is considered an efficient
and cheap dressing for an acre of ground.
—DPotato disease, which is caused by a
fungus, first attacks the tops of the plants
and is conveyed to the tubers by means of
spores washed into the soil by rain. To
prevent the infection of the tubers a grower
recommends running a plow between the
rows so as to turn up a furrow on the top
of the hills, and then hending the plants
over the furrow. This causes the water
which washes the tops to run away from
the hills. The furrowing should be done
on the first appearance of the disease, and
as a further precaution the crop should not
be dug for at least two or three weeks after
the tops are entirely wilted. A trial of
this method has given very good results.
—The Cotswold sheep possesses large
frame and long fleece, but it is not suitable
for farmers where pastures are not of the
best quality. The Merinos, when used for
crossing, do not increase in size, although
the grade of wool is better. The South-
down is hest for use ‘on common flocks, as
it is brea for mutton in preference to wool,
and, bein); hardy and active, the cross is
less violent than those between Cotswolds
and our small natives. The wool from the
Southdowns is not inferior, being classed
with the middle grades, nor 18 it deficient
in quantity as compared with common
stock, but much above the average. Their
excellence is in the superiority of the mut-
ton, and in that respect they have no su-
* periors. !
—In planting asparagus from seed the
following directions will secure a satisfac-
. tory result : Soak the seed for twenty-four
hours in tepid water, and sow early in, the
spring, in rows a foot apart, keep clean
by frequently weeding and heeing. At
one or two years old transplant to per-
manent beds. The ground should be
trenched, or dug for two feet deep, burying
plenty of manure, decayed leaves, leal
mold, weeds, bones, ete., when such can
be had, and mixing them thoroughly with
the soil. Lay out the beds four and one-
half feet wide and draw the drills fourteen
inches apart and six inches deep lengthwise
of each bed; place the roots in them, a
foot apart, in their natural position, and
cover four inches deep. A rich sandy loam
is suitable, t
~The complete shading of the soil rapid-
ly enriches it, even without the applica-
tion of manure. It may be that shading
causes a deposit of nitrogen from the air;
every farmer knows that wherever a stack
of hay or straw has stood for several months
the ground underneath is not only enrich-
ed, but grows much darker in color. Any
one may try an experiment as follows :
Select the poorest Spo of ground on the
farm, lay over a strip of any length, but
about a yard wide, a few inches of straw,
and cover with a board, or, if preferred,
lay only a board on the ground. If the
place isseeded to something after the cover-
ing is removed the difference in growth be-
tween the. poition previously shaded and
that not shaded will be very marked.
—A growing tree, however young, is al- | of
ways attractive and inspiring, especially
to those who have to pass them often as the
days and years go by. We drive many
miles every summer to view the scattering
“stately old settlers that are lefs, but after
all there is a world ‘of satisfaction in a
thrifsy tree, all the time before it has
reached its prime. Now I fully realize
the danger of shading a country road, and
I would never set a hedge or build a style
of fence ‘that would stop the snow. The
time bas come when that is an inexcusable
offense; and wherever a tree causes serious
trouble by keeping the road muddy I
would cnt it down. Nevertheless I would
set trees along the thoroughfare—100 feet
apart. :
On roads running east aud west they
need only to be set on the south side in
whieh case they draw from the adjoining
fields bus - very little. On roads running
north and south they should be 200 feet on
a side set alternatively (not referring to
the front of dwellings), This would give
the air and sun free access, and produce a
class of trees that would ‘‘astonish the na-
tives." We do not realize how much
beauty there is in outline, and the attrac-
tiveness of our most lovely towns would be
more than doubled if ball the trees were
taken out. :
As to position, I would put them as
near the line as possible, but never outside
the wall, as is customary. If they are al-
lowed three feet inside the line, so much
the better.
As to variety any one good kind would
produce a pleasanter effect (in rows) than
to have them change too often. I would
use maple or elm where there is no objec-
tion, and the Baldwin apple where the
farms were small. At any rate let us find
a place, if possible, for some enduring na-
tives of the forest that will keep its mem-
ory green, but let us not ruin the roads by
wrong setting.—Charles D. Tryon, in
Ohio Farmer.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Kerosene oil is an easy zine cleaner.
Milk is a pleasant substitute for soap in
dishwashing.
Nothing brightens old brass and nickel
better than strong ammonia.
A little chloride of lime in water boiled
for a few moments in the enameled sance-
pan will remove many stains from the
latter.
A cake of magnesia is a good friend to
the economical woman in these days of
light frocks. Rub soiled spots well with
it on both sides and hang the garment
away for awhile.
The short skirt is gaining steadily abroad
—indeed, it is the favored style on
parade.
The red-haired woman looks her best in
browns shading into the tones of her hair,
or rich dark greens. Much depends, of
course on the complexion and eyes, but
avith a white or pink and white skin, es-
pecially if the eyes be brown or black, ex-
quisite results can be obtained with a lit-
tle care.
The yellow haired lassie can wear red;
she greens, too, are delightful on her; also
certain yellows and blacks. White is less
becoming, but she must be brilliant in
complexion or else most delicate as to tints
to wear grays and blues to advantage.
Blue, particularly the pale and cold blues,
are best adapted to brunettes.
Very popular for the ornamentation of
the summer home are the various articles
made by the American Indians, which, he-
cause of their picturesque character and
often bizarre coloring, lend themselves ef-
fectively to decorative purposes. Baskets
are of all sizes and shapes, from those of
small circumference, finely woven and cap-
shaped, made by the Klamath Indians,
and the still smaller ones woven by the
Pomo tribe, being afterward covered with
feathers, to which a bit of the wood pick-
er’s orest often lends a gay note of scarlet,
to the large baskets produced by the In-
dians in Southern California and Mexico.
Meal trays, brightly colored, such as are
used in the Moki snake dances, are dis-
played side by side with picturesque water
bottles woven by the Pai Utes. Purses,
moccasins and queer little dolls of gayly
ornamented buck skin, fetishes ana needle
cases of beads are from the Arapahoes, and
Sioux war clubs, Klamath feather head-
dresses and large bottle-shaped baskets
from the Apaches mingle with the brightly
colored Navajo blankets. It is quite a fad
now to have an Indian corner—it is a new-
er idea than the Turkish corner—and can
be arranged just as readily and effectively.
The wearers of tight gloves will be in-
terested to learn that the women whose
hands and arms are famous for their beauty
all wear loose gloves. Bernhardt wears
long, loose-wristed gloves, and her white
beautiful bands are among her charms.
Miss Terry has a large band, almost mascu-
line in the strength of its lines, though the
fingers are beautifully tapered. Her hands
are in proportion with her fignre, and she
doer not squeeze either into tight com-
presses. She wears large gloves and her
hands are lily white and as smooth asa
young girl's. :
Braid laces are liked for tussore and
linen toilettes. and in general the heavy
varieties, such as Irish crochet, are pre-
ferred to the delicate kinds. These are
much more chic than the embroideries that
still are used freely, although their vogue
is a year old.
The smartest dressmakers are using
woollen laces in profusion for all kinds of
lightweight cloth gowns. They are some-
times white, sometimes cream or some-
times match the gown in color, and are
found in the form of inlets, yokes, trim-
mings and even as whole coats mounted on
satin or taffeta. It is much like the old-
fashioned Yak lace, which might be used
instead if one chanced to have any laid
away.
Once a week bathe the face at night with
hot milk, which is an excellent tonic, and
makes the skin as smooth as satin. A
roughened skin may be greatly benefited
by washing in warm water and rubbing
gently with moistened oatmeal. = Rinse
with clear water, and before wiping rub on
a little glycerine and rose water.
It the face has a shiny, oily 'look, soft
tissue paper is the remedy, such as men
use when shaving. Raub the face over with
this, and after a week’s use you will won-
der how in the world you have ever done
without it.
s.
Sleeves have reversed themselves, so to
speak, from extreme fullness at the top of
the sleeve. They fit closely from the
shoulder to midway between the elbow
and wrist, where they swell into a puff
which hangs loosely at the back or drop
over the hand. This rapid change in style
is due largely to the wide shoulder collar
.. lace, embroidery, and tucked linen,
whose fit aud shape would be ruined over
extended shoulder puffs.
Never wear a leather belt,no matter how
expensive, with a silk costume, or an elab-
orate jeweled affair with a simple walking
skirt or a shirt waist. A dainty afternoon
toilet can be ruined by the selection of the
belt. . Fancy buckling; ones: most cherish,
ed lawn into a white leather belt.
Chronic diarrhea is cured. by drinking
orange peel tea. Sweeten with loaf sugar
and use as a common drink for twenty-four
hours or more.
A simple and effectual remedy for ivy
poisoning is said to he sweet spirits of
nitre. Bathe the affected parts two or three
times during the day, and the next mom-
ing scarcely any trace of the poison will
remain. :
Oblong effects predominate in the new-
est belt buckles.
* Round yokes are more fashionable than
those cut on the square.
Shirt waist cuffs are broader, three to
four and a-half inches.
Wide tucks are admirable on China
silk.
No more do we see those long, long
quills.
One of the haudsomest shirt waist suits
so far is a plain, heavy white linen, simply
strapped. :
Irish lace collars are as pretty on sheer
white dresses as they are stylish on the
heavy ones.

Tale of a Murder.
A startling story was brought out at the
inquest of the death of Marcas Rogers, whose
body was found in the Walloomsac river
near Benningto, on Friday when Levi Per-
ham aged 19, confessed that the man had been
murdered and implicated himself and the
wife of the dead man as the participants
in the crime.
At the inquest, which was held in the
afternoon several witnesses testified as to
the relations between Rogers and his wife,
their frequent quarrels, the movements of
Rogers, eto., but the climax was reached
when the Perbam boys, Levi and Boyd,
were placed on the stand.
Boyd, the elder, was first examined, and,
to the amazement of those in attendance.
directly charged his brother and Mrs.
Rogers with the crime of murder. In his
story he said that the deed had been under
consideration for several weeks. He said
Mrs. Rogers approached him a few days
ago and offered to give him the amount of
the insurance on her husband ($500) if he
would go to Hoosic Corners and do away
with him. He refused. Failing to enlist
him in her service Boyd said that Mrs.
Rogers approached his younger brother,
Levi, and exerted such an influence over
him that the latter consented to lure Rogers
to Bennington, where a trap had been set
for him. Rogers, he said, was enticed to
Morgan's grove where, on Tuesday even-
ing, he met his wife and Levi Perham. The
meeting was apparently a friendly one, and
under the impression that his companions
were showing him a trick with ropes, Rogers
allowed them to bind him hand and foot.
When in this helpless condition they
ohloroformed him and threw him into the
river. To create the impressicn that Rogers
had committed suicide,they wrote the note
which was found pinned to bis hat.
The sensation was increased when Levi
Perham confessed that all that bad been
revealed against him was true.
