FARM NOTES.
—Pare hred hogs are sometimes made
scrub hogs by reason of being badly fed.
—There is no other farm animal in which
‘‘style’’ is worth as much money as the
horse.
—On the great ranges alone can the pro-
duction of beef be made the one aim of
farming.
—Three acres of broom corn will yield a
ton; and this crop always sells readily. It
will bring from $100 to $150 a ton. Why
not plant ten acres ?
—Five acres in well-cared for orchards
and small fruits are better than the average
two hundred acres in wheat and corn and
hay.
—Some sows bave no milk at farrowing
time. The cause assigned by a veterinarian
is feeding the sow strong or heavy feed im-
mediately after farrowing.
—The pigs should have slop in addition
to the milk of their mother at a very early
period, and a little later skim-milk should
be given. No stunting should he allow-
ed.
—No problems are being studied harder
than those connected with the raising of
live stock. The American farmer has reach-
ed the point where he must raise stock to
keep up the fertility of his land.
—Ethically regarded, the bee is one of
God’s best examples to the genus homo :—
he is an uncomplaining worker ; he con-
tributes more than he demands ; he is
strictly obedient to bee law, and is thus a
good citizen.
—The surest way to make a profit is to
keep down the cost. There should be no
hesitation in procuring that which is need-
ed, but waste should not be allowed. The
cost may be lessened by doing all the work
at the proper time and by the use of the
best implements.
—Veterinary surgeons state that the
milk is the first thing affected when a cow
becomes ill, and that the milk will show
indications of coming milk fever and garget
a week before any outward sign can be dis-
covered. A sore, or anything that may be
liable to poison the blood, also poisons the
milk at thesame time.
—1It is claimed that for the perfect matur-
ing of corn in this latitude the growing
season must have an average mean tem-
perature of 75 degrees for 90 days, or there
must be an excess of 75 degrees multiplied
by 90, equaling 6750 degrees of acoumu-
lated heat. Should the heat be lower the
crop may be longer in maturing.
—Do not try to make a specialty of wool
and mutton at the same time. The hest
mutton breeds are not the kind of sheep
that produce the choice grades of wool.
The size of the sheep does not affect its
production of wool. The heaviest fleeces
come from the Merino, which is the small-
est breed of sheep usuoally kept on farms.
—A farmer who has tried several modes
of destroying cut worms finds that an ex-
cellent method is to use a stick three feet
long and one and one-fourth inches in diam-
eter, sharpened at one end, with which
two or three holes are punched in the
ground near each plant. The cut worm is
sluggish, and falls into the hole, from
which he cannot easily escape.
—When it is desired to cut two or more
crops of grass from a field the grass should
be cut before the seed heads form, as the
grass has performed its mission when it has
seeded ; hence, if the first cutting is defer-
red until the seed is ripe, there will be no
second crop of importance. Such crops as
Hungarian grass and alfalfa may be cut
about every five weeks.
— Beets, turnips and similar crops con-
tain about 1 per cent. of albuminoids, but
they also consist of about 90 parts water.
This leaves about 10 per cent. of dry mat-
ter. It is the water that renders the food
so valuable, as it serves a dietary purpose
in feeding. While not valuable foods, the
different kinds of roots are highly relished
by all kinds of stock, and can be grown
with profit, if fed on the farm.
—The pea weevil has been a pest for
vears, and it is difficult to secure seed per-
fectly free from the pests. An excellent
plan is to pour the seed into a vessel con-
taining brine. The infested peas, being
lighter than the others, will float, when
they may be skimmed off and consigned to
the flames or fed to poultry. The sound
seed should then be rinsed with clear wat-
er, to remove the galt, spreading on mats
or beards to dry.
—New doors to opportunity are opening
to the man who tills the soil. For in-
stance, the growing demand for willow
furniture, which has won the approval of
fashion of late years, has revived interest
in the culture and manufacture of basket
willow. The material used for furniture
has been supplied from France ; but the
willow grows so readily in this country
that there seems to be no reason why a new
industry should not be established here.
—-Subsoiling is a matter which has its
advocates, but many scientific agricultural-
ists oppose it. It is claimed that, although
the subsoil plows break the soil to a low
depth, yet it destroys the channels which
admit the flow of air and water below the
surface. . That is, as plant roots penetrate
deeply and die they leave channels, which
are numerous, and which are increased
every year. Breaking the soil, it is claim-
ed, destroys them and ‘lessens the supply
of moisture.
—The practice of feeding equal parts of
cottonseed meal, bran and cornmeal, by
weight, is one in general use, but such
foods as linseed meal and cottonseed meal
should be regulated for animals that are
unaccustomed to them. Give each animal
four ounces per day, for a week, and then
increase an onnce a day until as much as a
pound is allowed each cow. The cotton-
seed meal must be free from husks and
should be discontinued two months before
each cow calves. Linseed meal is some-
what laxative in its effects, and the quan-
tity shounld he reduced, if necessary.
—If rainstorms come just as the wheat
is in blossom the water may wash off the
pollen and make some seeds missing in the
places where they should be. Tt is gen-
erally the upper portion of the ear that is
thus destroyed. Quite often a crop that
looks to be good will be lessened one-third
to one-half in threshing. Some varieties
have more open heads than others, and
are, therefore, more liable to injury from
this cause. The Mediterranean wheat very
rarely sets as many grains as the heads
have room for; but with dry weather, when
the wheat is in blossom, it sometimes does
so, and large crops are then produced.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN."
Cultivate a cheerful expression. What:
ever you do, do cheerfully, and compel
your face to assume a cheerful expression
even if you do not feel it. There is no
beauty cultare that will remove the lines
that are deepened by the habitual expres-
sion of discontent.
A Hospitable Hostess—With no maid,
when she has guests at meals, has a small
table at her right, upon which she slips the
dishes that have been used,and from which
she serves the dessert without rising from
ber seat. If a maid is kept the tea and
vegetables may be served form this handy
little buffet, and the maid need only be
summoned to clear the table for dessert.
When I buy new doll heads, either
bisque or metal, I fill them with cotton be-
fore attaching to the bodies. This pre-
vents the eyes falling in, and alsc enables
her ladyship, if of bisque, to withstand
harder falls than she otherwise could.
Here is a good point I learned from a
dressmaker. In making buttonholes, if the
material is of the sort which frays easily
like the voile so much used now, first mark
the buttonhole, then before cutting the
cloth stitch it about on the sewing ma-
chine, and ont between the two rows of
stitching. This not only makes a firm
foundation for the embroidery. but effect-
ually prevents the material from ‘‘fraz-
zling.”’
I keep a small box handy, and into it go
all the tiny bottles, bits of ribbon, gay
cards, scraps of silk, samples, little boxes,
and, in fact, everything that comes under
the general head of trash in a home where
there ate no children. When I have little
people visiting me I bring out my box and
the contents are hailed with delight.—
Good Hounsekeepivng.
Do not get angry if some one alludes to
you as old. It may be bad manners on his
part, but most silly in yon to resent it.
Besides, it isn’t true.
Go back and do a little figuring. Didn’t
you often think when you were young,
that certain people were real old, nearly
ready to be through with the world? Do
a bit of subtraction and addition, and the
result is likely to be that you find they
were about the same age that you are now.
It is to be hoped that yon never hurt their
feelings as that fellow did yours, but the
young are thoughtless, and you were young
then.
Don’t let that spot on your head ges
grimy. Polish it up every day, and when
you wash your face and neck use a cloth
and rub bard, right down into the wrink-
les. Dirt likes to settle in the furrows.
Keep your teeth clean, but don’t keep
them in sight, for they are not attractive to
anybody but yourself.
Don’t get into the habit of moaning and
groaning or bringing up great puffs of wind
just because you aren’t feeling quite well
or have eaten too much. Perhaps it is be-
cause you are lonely, have nothing to do
and want to convince yourself that you are
all there.
When yon dip from the tank or pail
don’t throw back what is left in the dipper.
That was excusable in the district school
when we had a mile to go fo find the well,
but water is plenty now and people are
esthetic.
Don’t becomne careless about what you
wear and think any old thing will do. Old
and faded garments make an old and faded
person look ten times as miserable as he
has any right to be.
Don’t tell people youn are in the way
and only a nuisance. It is foolish to sug-
gest such ideas when, perhaps, if you kept
still, they would never think of them.
Don’t forget 1t is harder to keep nice
when old than when we were young, bus
that it is also more necessary. In short,
watch your personal habits and show peo-
ple thas if you have been invited by Time
to be an old man, you have undertaken the
part, and intend to be a good actor and do
the business as it should be done.
Mrs. Roosevelt’s inaugural gown was
woven ab asilk mill in Paterson, N. J.
It is an entirely new design and new shade.
Mrs. Roosevelt suggested the design and
the shade will be known as ‘‘Alice blue,”
in honor of the President’s daughter, who
selected it from material she saw at the St.
Louis Fair.
While admiring the new shade, which
comes near to an electric blue, Mrs. Roose-
velt conceived the idea that, if doves were
woven into the goods, it would make a
handsome gown for the inauguration re-
ception. When the design was completed
according to her ideas, it represented a
flock of doves flying diagonally across a
blue background.
The largest dove is a little less than two
inches from the tip of one wing to: the tip
of the other. They decrease in size until
the smallest is very minute, The doves
are woven in gold tinsel and insuch a man-
ner that, as the ‘goods are held up to the
light and slowly turned, the doves seem
to sink into the background and slowly
disappear. The work of weaving the
goods was hegun three weeks ago.
Sleeping in Silk-—Silk bed-clothes are
the latest fad in high society in London.
Sheets and pillow-cases to be in the
height of fashicn are made of the purest
silk, and the pillow-slips are gorgeously
embroidered.
“Of course, only very rich people can
afford to indulge in the luxury of silk
sheets, which cost anything from 15 to 50
guineas a pair, according to the amount of
embroidery on them,’’ explained the head
of a well-known West End house.
““All the silk sheets now being used in
England came from Paris, where the fash-
ion first arose.
“Orders have been received in Paris from
some of the Continental Courts, bat the
English royal family still remains faithfnl
to Irish linen.
“Silk bed-clothing bas heen recommend.
ed by several doctors on account of its
warmth and ligh$ness.
‘The silk used, which has, of course, to
be specially woven, to the required width,
is generally surah or China, the former be-
ing the most expensive.
‘“The first orders for silk hed-clothes all
specified black silk, but the fashion guick-
ly turned to white. Now, however, there
are signs of yet another change, and with-
in the last month or two tinted sheets to
match the prevailing color in the room
have been specially ordered.”
Mine Disaster in Alabama.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 22.—Of the
160 miners of Virginia City who en-
tered the mine thus far only 50 bodies
have been recovered. The recovery al-
ready of 50 dead bodies precludes any
}dea that life may still remain among
the unfortunates. With the first omi-
nous rumble of the coming catastro-
phe, by common impulse every one in
the village rushed to the mouth of the
main slope. The scenes at the mine
were the most harrowing that ever
have been witnessed in the mining sec-
tion of Alabama. The corpses were
frightfully mangled and disfigured, and
identification is almost impossible.
Many of the bodies are so bruised,
twisted and discolored that negroes
cannot be told from white men.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
gas, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free
from gases.
All day long at the mouth of the
mine were waiting and moaning many
women and children whose relatives
were among the unfortunates. One
hundred families and 300 children are
left destitute and without means of
support by the calamity.
As the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered to-
gether a piece at a time, are brought
to the surface, they are placed in rows
on a rough improvised platform.
Since the list of dead probably will
go to 160, the local undertakers have
wired to adjoining cities for coffins, as
it was found there were not enough
suitable coffins in the district to bury |
the victims.
Out of the 50 bodies recovered one
was found in which there were faint,
flickering signs of life. The body was
carefully taken from the mine and
son, Emm Hoover Chadwick, and her
ausband, Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, in
Brussels, and Mrs. Chadwick’s fortune
would then have been $2,000,000.
It was her desire to make just one
more deal with $500,000 as the stake.
The action of United States Attorney
John J. Sullivan in causing her arrest
when he did was the checkmate over
which spelled the word defeat. Strange
as it may seem, the men from whom
she wished to get this last $500,000
were the most severe in the criticism
of the action of the United States at-
torney, which they, at the time, char-
acterized in bitter language as hasty
and ill-advised.
Among the federal authorities the
belief is strong that Mrs. Chadwick
was sanguine of carrying to success
her deep-laid plans up to the time she
made her sensational flight from the
Hollond House in New York city. She
never wavered from her purpose of
carrying them out until that time, not-
withstanding the publicity which the
sult of Herbert Newton, of Brookline,
had precipitated. Had she been suc-
cessful in eluding the secret service
men detailed to watch her, and the
newspaper men who thronged the ho-
tel where she was stopping, she would
have made her escape to Brussels in
as direct a way as might be. There
she would have settled down to enjoy
the proceeds of her meteoric career
among bankers and money lenders.
In the event that Mrs. Chadwick
should escape conviction under the
present indictments against her, the
United States treasury department will
take action against her. !

Pure Red Blood and replenishing the Blood

heroic efforts resorted to to bring the
man to consciousness. He is still alive, |
but scant hope is held out for his re-!
covery. |
One of the most gruesome sights wit-
nessed was a man’s head being carried |
out of the mine in a dinner basket. It
was found in this position, and the!
flesh was almost entirely burned away
from the skull. Legs, arms and man-
gled trunks were brought out in suc-
cession. After nightfall the entrance
to the mine was converted into a ver-
itable chamber of horrors, the awful-
ness of which was intensified by the
flickering of the lamps as the feeble
rays fell upon the mangled and bleed-
ing fragments of human flesh strewn
about the entrance.
Many stout-hearted men who had
been assisting in the work of rescue
were forced to give up the task, and
numerous persons have fainted upon
seeing the ghastly array of bodies.
Several women became hysterical;
others fainted, and still others had to
be placed in the hands of attending
surgeons, being completely prostrated
by the terrible scenes. When bodies
are identified a tag is placed upon
each and special ambulances convey
them to Bessemer.
Mrs. Chadwick Has $1,000,000 Hidden.
Cleveland, O., Feb. 20.—One million
dollars is the amount believed to be
hidden by Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick.
Collector of Customs Leach has so
minutely traced the operations of this
woman during the last four years that
he is in a position to know that the
Jtem saved from her many financial
transactions is $1,000,000 in cold cash. |
In addition to this sum, the woman
has just as safely placed $150,000 worth
of jewels.
Her arrest nipped plans right at a
time when they were about to bloom.
A delay of a few more days would cer-
tainly have placed Mrs. Chadwick, her
