FARM NOTES.
—An elevated site is desirable for a
poultry house.
—Not more than fifty fowls should be
kept together for breeding purposes.
—A low shed kept well littered with
straw is best for the ducks and geese.
—Feed the growing chickens late in the
evening and early in the morning.
—1Tn the fall is the best time to set out
small fruits, especially raspberries.
—Poultry in the orchard destroy insects
and keep trees in a good condition.
—As a rule, currants do far better when
mulched after they get large enough to
bear.
—From good thrifty breeding stock one
may reasonably expect to raise good,strong,
healthy chickens.
—The raspberry and blackberry canes
should be thinned out, leaving about four
good canes in each stool.
—Prune out the old currant bushes rath-
er severely after the leaves fail, giving a
good circulation of air through the
branches.
—Trees that were grafted in the spring
shg=ld be gone over carefully and all wa-
ter sprouts be removed, so that all of the
sap will go the grafts.
—Quinces, grapes, blackeap raspberries,
gooseberries and currants are all easily
propagated by cuttings, so that an abun-
dant supply of plants can be easily secured.
—The pigs intended for slaughter after
cold weather begins will weigh more at
killing time if fed a mess of bran and milk
along with the corn that is given for fat-
tening. A mess of finely cut clover bay,
scalded, with bran added, will also prove
an excellent ration. Give dry quarters in
sold weather and sufficient litter for bed-
ding.
—The free use of lime in the autumn,
especially under fruit trees, will material-
ly assist in destroying fungi. Use air-slak-
ed lime, and apply it freely. Itis not as
efficacious as some of the spraying mix-
tures, but is beneficial to a certain exten
at this season. Some soils require lime,
and it will prove as valuable under trees
as on land intended for regular crops.
-—Horses prefer carrots to all other roots,
and enough carrots can be secured from an
acre of land to supply a large number of
horses during the winter. If farmers will
feed carrots to horses and cows less grain
and hay will be required, and the animals
will not only prefer the variety of food, but
will be kept in excellent condition at less
expense than to depend solely npon dry
food.
—Farmers are beginning to learn that 1t
is not necessary to manure in the hills, but
that when manure and fertilizers are spread
over the land the crops will be benefited
more by such applications than in the hills,
because more water is ntilized in dissolv-
ing out the plant food, and also because
the roots of all plants reach in every direc-
tion and seek their food. Sometimes it
bappens that over-doses of fertilizers in the
hills are harmful.
—The best and cheapest way to preserve
hilly lands and prevent gullying and wash-
ing of the soil is to keep them in grass, for
which purpose Bermuda, in the southwest,
is unsurpassed. To plant hillsides with
cultivated crops, no matter how judiciouns-
ly the rows are laid out or how correctly
the hillside ditches may be run, the soil
will be badly washed, if not cut with
gullies. Kept in grass, which may be
mowed or pastured, it is possible to im-
prove such lands.
—An orchard is a necessity on the farm.
It is well known that a farm containing a
good orchard will sell at a fair price, when
farms with indifferent orchards are sacrific-
ed. The buyer always looks for the greatest
namber of advantages, and if apples,
peaches, pears, plums and the small fruits
can be found, instead of only an apple
orchard, the value of the farm will be in-
creased wuch more than the original cost
of the orchard. If the farm is not for sale
the orchard will be a source of profit to the
farmer.
—Late plowing is sometimes beneficial
in allowing the frost to assist in destroying
insects and pulverizing the soil. When
manure is broadcasted on fall-plowed land
it is better to barrow it in rather than
leave the land rough, as the liability of
loss from washing of the manure by rains
will be lessened. When plowing at this
season the ridges should he so thrown up
as to derive the most advantage from cross-
plowing in the spring. It requires excel-
lent judgment to plow a field as it should
be done if there are wet places or uneven
surfaces. ;
—The pig sty often is filled with ma-
terials for absorbing manure, but they are
not cleaned as frequently as should be the
case. In winter, if the yard should con-
tain absorbents, they become soaked dur-
ing rains and are disagreeable locations for
adults or pigs. The pig prefers a dry loca-
tion, as it suffers severely on very cold
days. The materials in the pig stys will
be of more service if added to the manure
heap and a plentiful supply of cut straw
thrown into the yard in its place. The
covered shed, or sleeping quarters, should
be littered a foot deep with cut straw, which
may then be thrown into the yard, but the
yard should always be cleaned out after a
rain and dry material then added.
—It would astonish many farmers to
make an investigation of the number of
weed plants that are to be found in grass
lands, and even in meadows that are sup-
posed to be in a high state of cultivation.
They are more conspicuous in the pastures,
because our most common weeds will grow
on land where the cultivated grass makes
but little growth. The daisy, the rag
weed, mints and others are often to be
found by the hundred on a single square
foot in the pasture, while in spots the
thistle, milkweed and orange hawkweed
bave taken almost complete possession.
But there are many in the rich manured
mowing, where the grasses grow so much
faster and ranker as to hide them until the
bay is taken off. Too close pasturing is
in some cases responsible for these weeds.
Some of these larger perennials must be
dug ous, root and all, before they can
make seed, or cnt down so often that they
will perish because of a lack of leaf growth.
In some cases plowing, manuring and re-
seeding with clean seeds seems to be the
only remedy, and it is not always easy to
get grass seed free from the seeds of weeds,
and a course of three years in cultivation,
killing every weed in the field or around its
borders, may be the only way to reduce
their number.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
In a colonial dining room, with white
woodwork and mahoganv furniture, two
tones of wall covering are preferred to all
others at present. Fora very light room
| an old blue is used, while for one where
there isn’t much sunlight a golden yellow
is the choice as giving a light, sunny ef-
fect. To be in keeping with the colonial
idea there should be very narrow self-toned
stripes, giving the effect of a solid color.
Don’t forges the chestnut dressing thas is
such a decided improvement for turkey
filling as the days approach when King
Turkey graces the board.
Loose Norfolks, almost counterparts of
those worn by men, are seen upon the suits
of morning wear, but are trying. All-round
useful. jackets are of covert tan and black
cloth, and are in box style or half fitted
baek, with loose fronts, and not a few show
capes over the shoulders, some single, some
double, some triple. Whatever tends to
lengthen the shoulder line is correct, and
as capes possess that tendency to a marked
degree they are sure to be conspicuous.

fort, as well as for her appearance.

Teach her to say no, and mean it, to say

Blue and white barred gingham is a fin-
ishing which gives a delightful air of fresh-
ness to a boy’s bedroom, without seeming
effeminately dainty. It launders finely,
and its clean blue and white gives a pleas-
ing sense of immaculateness. Make a
spread for the bed with wide ruffles around
the sides and ends. The window seat can
be made with a covering of the same, easily
removable, and if the seat be made with a
lid, so that the interior can he used as a
catch-all, it will commend itself to the
boy. Chair and couch cushions should be
covered with ruffled slips of the same.
The commonest mistaken in framing pic-
tules are in choosing frames of too ornate a
character, too narrow margins or mats of the
wrong color. Green is in high favor for
picture frames just now.and twe other very
new ideas are exceedingly desirable. One
is a soft silver gray or forest green frame
with the corners rounded off in Japanese
fashion. The second is of rosewood of a
rich old mahogany tone and has ‘‘cabinet’’
joined instead of mitered corners. Veneer-
ed frames, really a mat of wood, made
from one piece of wood, with the opening
cut in the centre for the picture, are very
popular.
The girl who has learned to do cross-
stitch or Russian embroidery skillfully is
happy, these days. She is also busy upon
long or shaped strips of canvas, being solid-
ly covered with the gay and quaint needle
work done in brilliant silks. These strips
will presently transform the pongee or
taffeta shirt waist suit of the passing season
into a charming costume for afternoon or
informal evening use. Yoke, plastron,
bretelle cr other bodice decorations, with
stock or collar, cuffs or some kind of sleeve
trimmings, belts, and sometimes buttons
covered with the embroidery are variously
supplied—and applied. Frocks of black
or dark blue taffeta or of natural-colored
pongee look especially well decorated in
this way.
Black Chocolate or Devil’s Cake.—Half
a cup of grated chocolate, a gill of milk,
half a cup of brown sugar. Boil these to-
gether until as thick as cream, and let
cool. One cup of brown sugar, half a cup
of butter, two beaten eggs, two-thirds of a
cup of milk, vanilla flavoring. Mix well,
beat in the boiled mixture, add two cups
of flour sifted thoroughly with a heaping
teaspoonful of baking powder. Bake in
layers, and when cool put together with
boiled frosting. Or yon may bake the
cake in a loaf-tin, and cover the loaf with
chocolate icing.
There is a disposition lately to have
cherry-stained woodwook in rooms where
mahogany furniture is used. White enamel
woodwork is far better. It is extremely
difficult to secure a pretty, soft cherry
stain, for one thing; for another the too
prevalent reddish tone is trying, and still
another, the contrast between the white of
the woodwork and the mahogany furniture
sets off both.
We women would think it terrible if
compelled to wear a uniform. How we
would rebel and what tears we would shed
if somebody who bad the authority actu-
ally made us all dress alike. How perfect-
ly horrible it would be.
Yet when it is the fashion to wear some-
thing dangling from the back of our hats
hangs any old thing she can, lay hands on to
the rear of her chapeau and goes fluttering
like the sister that precedes her, and the
one ahead of her, and so on unto the be-
ginning of the procession. ,
Somebody says coats must be loose-
backed. And again straightway we put
ourselves into these hideous boxy thags,
as shapely as a pine board.
But wear a uniform? Never! Dress
earch combined could compel us to do it.

Mary McDonald Fed Washington's
Soldiers at Valley Forge.
‘When George Washington’s hungry sol-
diers climbed the barnyard feuces of the
farms at Valley Forge Mary McDonald was
there to receive them. To-day she is an
inmate in the Home for the Aged and In-
firm Colored Persons, in West Philadel-
phia. The other inmates all speak of Mary
as being their “Grandmam,’’ and well they
might. If she lives until the 14th day of
November she will celebrate her one hun-
dred and thirty-second birthday.
Her cheerfulness is one of the secrets of
her long life—in not only her own opinion,
but that of the scientists who have studied
her history. She never has worried, she
told them candidly—not even about her
age. Proof of this looks down from the
wall of her room. Ina little frame the
following inscription is preserved :
Mrs. Mary McDonald
‘Was Born
The Eleventh Month, The Four-
teenth Day
In the Year 1770.
In the upper corner of the frame a leaf
is pinned and these words are written be-
neath i : :
This leaf is from the Elm Tree where
General Washington first took command of
the American Army, in Cambridge, Mass.
—the seventh month—third day—in the
year 1775.
When the leaf was given to ‘‘Grand-
man’’ three years ago she took it and kiss-
ed it and placed it beneath her pillow.
When she was asked :
“Will you sell the leaf, Grandmam ?*’
“No. no, no, no,”’ she replied. I'll
keep it as long as I live. If they laid
three millions down they couldn’t have it.
Give it to me’’—and when handed the
frame she kissed it again and again and
said : “I love it—I love it—with all my
heart.”’
Mary was sitting in a big arm chair in
her cozy little room eating her supper,
which sonsisted of bread and butter and
apple sauce and strong tea. She does not
seem to weigh more than forty pounds.
Her frail little body sometimes droops like
a piece of brown parchment. Yet the vi-
tality that animates her appears inexhaust-
ible.
North Pole for $200,000.
Lieut. Peary Says that Sum Would Bring Suc-
cess in Polar Hunt.
Lieut. Peary, who recently returned to
civilization from a four-year search for the
North Pole recently started for Washing-
ton after spending a few days at Portland,
Me., settling up the estate of his mother,
who died there about a year ago. His foot,
which was frozen during his journey, ie
doing well, and he believes he will not
need an operation. To friends at Portland
Peary said :
The pole can be reached. It is a ques-
tion of money. Could I bave put my ship
as far north as I intended, and as I could
have done had sbe been equal to the re-
quirements, I could have made the pole.
Money will do it—money in the right
hands. No, not millions, either; $200,000
will do 16. For this amount I could keep
a party in the north ten years and follow
my original plan of marching by stages on
the pole. A good ship, plenty of time and
sufficient money will do it.
On no account shall I make an effort to
return to the North. I have done all that
could be done with the facilities at my
command, and shall now resume my duties
in the Navy, reporting to the Department
at Washington in a few days. In coming
back this time I abandoned further pos-
sible endeavors to reach the pole.
Possibly, bad I covered the 350 miles be-
tween where I turned back and the pole, I
might have added nothing to our informa-
tion as to extreme polar conditions. We
can very well conjecture conditions sur-
rounding the pole. I am confident it is in
the ocean—that is, no land is there. Of
course, the great thing would have been to
attain what I strove for. The disappoint-
ment is keen, and yet I think I have done
all any man could have done under the
circumstances. ;
