FARM NOTES.
—Keep the turkey hens tame by feeding
them close to the house.
—When the fowls have a free range, one
cock to every fifteen or Sweaty hens is
sufficient.
—The garden must be mellow, rich and
kept clean. This is the inside seoret of
saccessful gardening.
—An application of hard wood ashes
will sapply the soil with the potash so nec:
essary in growing small fruits.
—Cooping up the mother hen, and allow-
ing the chickens to run around is the safest
and most economical plan.
—The games ‘have more meat for their
size than any other fowl. They grow
slowly, but are solid and firm.
—Bone meal is an excellent garden fertil-
izer, but it does not give immediate re-
sults unless dissolved with acid.
—Wooden floors close to the ground ab
sorb the damp from the earth, and the
atmosphere of the house is always moist.
~The longer an orchard is kept in oul-
tivation and a crop taken off the greater be-
comes the necessity of liberal manuring.
—If it is desirous to have the greatest
number of pounds of meat from the small-
est quantity of feed, select the large breed.
—The greater portion of the roots of the
grape vine grows near the surface. For
this reason the cultivation should be shal-
low.
—Boue meal will greatly assist the
growth and development of bone in chick-
ens and in a great measure oevens leg
weakness.
—The nests must, be net occasion-
ally and kept clean. Clean, dry straw is
the best nestling material. ' Tobacco i i
will help to keep away vermin. ;
—Middlings make a good food for poul-
try, but if wet np alone it is ‘too: sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran or ¢orn
and wet with milk or scalding water.
~—Whitewash ‘is better than paint on the
poultry houses, for the reason that it costs
less and has a purifying influence. It may
be applied as often as once a month to ad-
vantage.
—The properties of sunflower seed are
peculiar, aud a small quantity fed at the
proper time will essentially aid in impart-
ing to the plumage of adult fowlsa gloss
that no other grain will produce.
—In the garden espeoially one of the
drawbacks to the germination of seeds is
that they are often covered with too much
earth when planted. Usually the smaller
the seed the less covering is required.
—-When pear trees donot grow rapidly
-they shonld have an application of wood
"ashes, while trimming the ends of the
young branches will induce them to send
out shoots and" thicken the tops. Some-
times the working around the: trees with
a cultivator will give them a new start.
—Old strawberry ‘beds, if very: grassy
and weedy, may be renovated by burning
the mulch off, if the bed is mulched. This
may be safely done should there be a light
wind to'quickly carry the fire over the bed,
as ‘rapid burning will be safer. : The space
between the old rows can be deeply oulti-
vated and kept clean until the rnnners
staré, then cultivation must cease to allow
them to take root. This is a clumsy way
of doing what should have been done in
the spring, setting a new bed. Do not for-
get that strawberries want plenty of good
fertilizers. Manure well.
--‘Trees that were grafted last spring
should be carefully gone over and all water
Sprouts out away to allow all the sap to
ow into the graft to push it vigorously.
If you wish a stocky branched graft nip
“the end of the young growth after it has
grown six inches or more. I$ will then
throw out side shoots and grow branched
and stocky. Newly set peach trees should
be seen to, and all irregular growth of
young wood should be removed before the
wood hardens. It can now easily be done,
and the sap the irregular growth would
exhaust will go to form a perfect tree.
—If you have old trees that have failed
to give profitable crops of fruit, dig the soil
up Horan and then apply a good dress-
ing of well-rotted stable manure and work
thoroughly into ‘the soil. Then, if you
" bave them, apply a dressing of wood ashes.
If these fail to revive the tree after giving
a good pruning it is past redemption, and
should give way to something better. Good
rich soil for three or four years can be pro-
fitably planted to some crop while the trees
in the orchard are growing, but after that
the best plan is either toseed down to
clover, and use as a hog pasture, or to culti-
vate without allowing any crop to grow.
—Two kinds of ordinary whitewash may
be used to advantage, prepared in the fol-
lowing manner: For inside work, to a
bucketfnl of ready lime-wash add one pint
of soft-boiled rice and a quarter of a pound
‘of white glue, dissolved thoroughly and
‘mixed through the mess. For outside sub- |
stitute io place of rice and glue (to each
pail of white wash) :a pound of common
rock salt, dissolved in oiling water Thus
mixed and applied apon.a bright, sunny
day, the whitening will remain permanent
in color and will nos rub off readil y, wil ‘while |
the application to the interior will a

wall and crevices of the inside of
try-house and stables, if the wash

—One great mistake ade

Clover sod is not so bad as a timothy
blue grass sod, yet ‘no young fro tre. will
do well in any soil unless it has been work-
ed long enoug 2 previously to free it from
grass roots, weeds, eto., and make it mel-
low and fine. Some tow peach growers
start their young orchard in a clover sod,
plowing the intervening places between the
rows and cultivating iv corn. This is bet.
ter than letting the place remain in sod,
though many of the trees are choked’ to
death by the grass and roots. Sowing any
kind of grain, either ‘wheat, rye or oats,
between the trees is sure to seriously, and
in many cases permanently, Injures the.
trees. Only cultivated crops should be
grown. If, when the trees are well grown
and in heavy fruiting, it is desired to par-
tially check the heavy growth of wood and
foliage resulting from li manuring and
good cultivation, sow cloverseed alone, and
after one good crop (in rare cases, two) of
clover hay has been secured, plow down
the sod and put in corn, and suksequently
other cultivated crops.

Tucked skirts, to be at their best, are

One of the popular ideas is a yellow wall
covering to accompany white enamel wood-
work and the mahogany furniture of a Col-
onial room. One of the foremost collectors
of Colonial furniture in the world considers
this idea altogether wrong. The proper
atmosphere is only obtainable, in his judg-
ment, in a dining-room from an old-time
tapestry paper in old red effect ora land-
scape in green tones, such as was used long
In a bed-room,of course, the Colonial
floral effects and chintz stripes are the
thing.
Pleating was never in greater vogue. We
have had seasons in which pleated ruffles
were in favor, and others when whole
skirts were pleated. Now everything is
pleated—even the bows on many of the
hats. There is no to pleat or not to pleat | oq
question. One simply must pleat.
Whole dresses are pleated. even to the
sleeves, and of all the pleats the accordian
and the box are on the highest crest of the
wave of favor. The former is the choice
of many for dressy creations, while the lat-
ter serves well for anything from a pedes-
trian rig to an evening dress of a filmy
fabric.
Box pleatings four or five inches in
width are much used for edging capes and
the like, while for jaunty cloth suits noth-
ing approaches them in favor.
‘In the skirts the pleats are stitched only
to about knee depth ; a pleated bolero also
has the pleats loose about the lower edge,
while in the longer coats the pleats are
stitched to the very edge. It doesn’t take
as much more material as one would sup-

the hanger of his waking hours. Mr. Me-
Intyre said feebly that he suffered great
torment and that he would not advise any-
body to try the remedy, no matter what
the result might be.
On the tenth day of the fast he endured
tortures, ‘he said, ‘‘If the eleventh day had
been as bad as the - tenth,’’ he added, *‘I
would net have gone on, but I seemed to
get some relief afterward.”” Mr. McIntyre
talked with difficulty, owing to his en-
feebled condition. He did not seek notor-
iety, he said, but simply took a chance for
his life, and the issue is still in doubt.
During the last 15 days of his fast, he
said, the drinking of too much water at
one time produced small hemorrhages, and
he bas vomited blood at periods during
the day.
Millionaire in a Cell.
His Mother Fails to Furnish Bail and Sails to Eu-
rope.
Edwin D. Mooers, still under 30 and a
millionaire, awoke on Wednesday in a cell
in the Ludlow street jail, New York, to
find that he could not sail for Europe on
the American liner New York later in the
day. as he had planned.
His mother, who was booked to sail with
him, failed to deposit $10,000 bail for his
appearance in court to defend his wife's
action for divorce and alimony. She sail-
ed without him.
Mr. Mooers was arrested on Wednesday
night on West Forty-fourth street by de-
puty sheriff Terry and taken to the Lud-
low street jail. The affidavit of the young
wife, Mrs. Dorothy B. Mooers, on which
Justice Clarke issued the warrant of arrest,
teems with the names of co-respondents.
Mis. Mooers says that she appealed to her
husband last month for a contribution to
her maintenance and that he refused it and
told her he was going abroad for a long
time to ‘‘get rid of the whole thing.’
They were married in El Paso, Texas,
March 1, 1900, and lived together until
last October, when, she says, she left him
for cause.
Mooers first aroused New York last win-
ter, though some of his exploits in Los
Angeles aud elsewhere had brought him
into notice previously. In Jannary, 1903,
he obtained a place in the chorus of a
Broadway musical comedy. He did not
tray his identisy, bunt his expensive
clothing and jewelry and the fact that he
came to and went from rehearsals io a cab
aroused curiosity. Rumors led to the dis-
covery of bis identity.
A friendship between Mooers and one of
the principals is said to have grown
rapidly, and Mooers left the chorus. This
actress is named in Mrs. Mooer’s petition
for a divorce.
In 1899 Mooers was a student at Cornell.
His father was born in Ithaca. A pro-
fessor of the sollage charged that the young
freshman was inviting the rofessor ’'s wife
$0 supper too frequently. r he obtain-
vorce and sued Mooers for $25,000
a alin for the loss of his wife’s affections.
The suit is still pending, Mooers left the
University and went to California.
In El Paso, Texas, Mooers met Miss
Dorothy B. Bowman, daughter of a clergy-
man, whom he married, and who is now
suing him.
Towns That Were.
Only afew years ago the teacher would
ask : ‘“What is the capital of Montana?’
The urchin who is now the father of half a
dozen urchins would reply: ‘‘Bannock
City.”? There are now fewer than 100 peo-
ple in Virginia City in the same State of
Montana. Bodie, Cal., once had 6000 peo-
le. There is not a house or inbabitant
eft. The mines played out—and where is
Bodie ?
Springfield, Kan., was once large enough
to build a $20,000 schoolhouse, and to put
in waterworks, At last accounts there
were 200 houses and fewer than 100 people
in town, and the hydrants were hidden in
the prairie grass. At Saratoga a $30.000
theatre finds none to tread its hoards save
the wandering tramp. At Fargo Springs
the $20,000 schoolhouse bell rings when
the wind is strong, but no children come.
These dead Kansas towns are the fading
monuments of an error of observation as to
the normal rainfall of the western part of
that State.
At the junction of the Savannah and
Broad rivers in Georgia are now only fields
of grain and grazing sheep. Yet there
once stood Petershurg a regularly laid out
and prosperous town of the days hefore the
railroads came. Now there is not a single
honse upon the site and the wheat grows
where was the public square. The rail-
road unmade Petersburg, as it bas unmade
dozens of other towns, the remains of some
of which are to be found a few miles from
the line in Texas.
