FARM NOTES.
—After the tomato plants have made
progress in the open air apply fertilizer,
broadcasting at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre.
—1It has been demonstrated that where
thorough drainage is practiced larger orops
are produced, avd with less cost, than
where drainage is neglected.
—(alifornia privet has demonstrated for
itself that it is a hardy evergreen for a por-
tion of the year, can be produced from cunt-
tings, has few insect enemies, if any, and
is a desirable hedge for any farm.
—A tree that has been carefully trimmed
and relieved of useless wood can be more
easily sprayed than one that has received
no attention. This facts should not be
overlooked, as not only will a tree be bene-
fisted, if properly pruned, but there will
also be a saving of labor in spraying.
—When you get ready for the garden do
not be satisfied with a few kinds of vege-
tables, but try to get a variety by growing
a small plot of each kind mentioned in the
seed catalogues. It will make the garden
more valuable, as well as better appreciat-
ed, and also enable you to learn what the
land is capable of producing.
—When bran, linseed meal, brewers’
grains, etc., are largely purchased and used
on farms from which butter is sold such
food will greatly increase the fertility of
the soil, for the reason that butter takes
little or nothing from the soil, and the
fertilizing elements of the food are there-
fore retained on the farm.
—The striped bug which destroys cucum-
ber vines may be destroyed by placing a
tiny box over the vines such as a cheese
box and pouring a teaspoonful of bisulphide
of carbon on the ground. Allow the box
to remain over the vines half an hour. The
substance is very volatile, hence fire must
be avoided in its use. Tobacco dust around
the vines is also excellent.
—No farmer should intrust the pruning
of his trees to an inexperienced person.
More harm is done by inexperienced per-
sons than by leaving the trees untouched.
To saw off limbs, right and left, without
regard to the nature of the tree or its sym-
metry, and to simply cut away limbs that
are in the way, should not be practiced.
The trimming or pruning of a tree requires
skill and judgment.
—Do not be deceived by the advance
warm weather of spring and put in the gar-
den crops too soon. It will be time enough
to complete the planting when the apple
trees begin to bloom. A late frost will
destroy all tender plants. Cool nights are
also detrimental to the growth of such
plants as squash, beans, melons, tomatoes
and corn. The ground must be warm be-
fore plants will make headway in growth.
—New strawberry beds should be plant-
ed not later than the middle of May. If
the variety is both staminate and pistillate
there will be no difficulty next year in hav-
ing the blossoms fertilized, but should
staminate and pistillate varieties be used
(two varieties) they should be of kinds
that blossom at the same time, or dis-
appointment will result. A fruit grower
who escapes the ravages of the white grub
in his young strawberry patches states that
just before setting out the plants he dips
the roots in a solution of lime in which
Paris green has been added.
—One bushel of ashes represents about
two and a balf tons of dry body wood.
Wood ashes contain all of the required ele-
ments of plant nutrition except nitrogen.
One hundred pounds of wood ashes con-
tain 16 pounds of potash, worth 80 cents;
three and a half pounds of soda, worth two.
cents; 67 pounds of lime and magnesia,
worth eight cents, and five and one-fourth
pounds of phosphoric acid, worth 26 cents.
It one had to buy in the market, in the
cheapest form, the manurial material con-
tained in 100 pounds of ashes, the cost
would be greater.
—The foundation of farming is grass,
and io order to be successful the farmer
should never omit grass from his rotation.
A good sod to turn under, at least every
four years, will make the farm more profit-
able, and will be readily worth to the
farmer, in the benefits imparted to the
soil, more than the value of the grass for
hay or pasturage. When putting in a grass
crop in the spring the careful preparation
of the soil should be the main object. An
application of fertilizer, to be harrowed in,
will be worth more to the grass than at
any later stage. Get a good start and the
grass will take care of itself.
—It isa common fault with many ama-
teur gardeners that they attempt to raise
too many kinds of ornamental plants.
They are attracted by the pleasing des-
criptions in ceed catalogues and order fif-
teen or twenty species of plants which they
have never tried before. They are almost
sure to be disappointed in a good part of
them from their lack of time and knowl-
edge in managing them. To get the most
enjoyment from flowers they should give
as little anxiety as possible. It is wiser to
learn to cultivate one plant well than to
half grow a dozen different kinds. Try
only two or three new sorts each year, and
get well acquainted with them before bry-
ing others.
—Orchardists in Tasmania are subject to
a fine of from $2.50 to $5, with costs, if
they fail to bandage their trees to keep
down the coddling moth, or if they fail to
gather and destroy any infested fruit.
Wormy apples sent to market are liable to
confiscation and destruction, and the ship-
per be prosecuted. In New South Wales
all infested fruit coming from other col-
onies may be seized or destroyed, or re-
turned to the shipper at his own expense.
Fruit growers are generally assisting the
government in enforcing these laws. Simi-
lar laws in this country for a few years
would see a hardship to many parties, but
would be a benefit to fruit growers and to
the country if they were strictly enforced.
—There are customs which are rigidly
adhered to in the sowing or planting of
staple orops. Clover is usually sown on
the wheat land in the spring, the seed he-
ing soattered over the ground when is is
covered with snow, in order to facilitate
the work. One of the rigid rules is ‘to sow
a certain quantity of the seed, as little as
possible if the seed is high in price, and
should the stand be light the cause is as-
eribed to everything but the seed. The
fact is that seed should be used more lib-
erally, as much of it is destroyed in vari-
ous ways before germinasion, the saving in
seed causing a loss of clover. Another
point ie to harrow the wheat, seed down
the clover, and then use a roller on the
land. The better the preparation for
clover the more seeds will germinate and
the more perfect the ‘‘catch.’’
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
A DAILY THOUGHT.
Take time each day to speak a kindly word
When kindly words are seldom heard;
And it will linger in the mind, and gather others
of all kind. Till loving words will echo back,
somewhere on your heavenward track.
If You Want to be a Welcome Visitor.
~—Two things, each of which is unimport-
ant, that will do much to contribute to the
hostess’ comfort if looked after is always
to be prompt to meals and to keep one’s
room tidy. With only one or two maids
in the house they cannot be expected to
give much personal service, and if a girl
does not pick up her own things it neces-
sitates the hostess going in when she has
the chance and doing it herself.
It is human. nature that the visitor
should like one member of the family bet-
ter than the others, and within reason it is
proper to express this liking. But to do it
to the extent that makes others feel de trop
when they are about is very bad breeding.
In spite of the fact that one might prefer
to talk alone with one’s particular friend
include the others who drop in. Do not
discuss people or things that the new-
comers do not know, or do it only after
explaining so that they can follow the
conversation, says the Detroit Free
Press.
Accept very few invitations without
your hostess. Asa ruleit should not be
done at all, but in case of having a very
old friend whom one has not seen for a
long time it is permissible to go to lunch
or to tea without the hostess. Even then
the old friend should do something soon to
which the hostess is invited too.
A girl staying in the house of another is
apt to forget that by herself is her family
judged. If she is noisy, inconsiderate and
obstinate she shows immediately that she
has been badly brought up and places her
parents in a light where they are open to
criticism.
Neither hostess nor guest should always
be on parade, for there are times when each
has little things that must be done. A
hostess must keep her house running; a
guest has letters to write and needs time for
resting. It is avery tactful thing on the
part of a guest to excuse herself after
breakfast to write her letters, for that is
the time her friend is most apt to be busy
with household duties.
Daring these days of spring sewing wom-
en are aps to find the continued running of
the sewing machine very tiresome. They
will find that the motion is not so weari-
some if only the toe of the left foot is al-
lowed to touch the treadle, while the right
foot is placed entirely on it and bears the
bulk of the work.
Green, the color of hope, is to be the
prevailing color this spring. The new
color, so Paris says, isa light tea green.
This will be seen in the girdles of all white
frocks for summer wear, will make whole
dresses and cociumes and give tone to all
sorts of hats. Itis quite different from the
‘‘coronation’’ green, which was the feature
of a few summers back.
As to new shades in cloth or cashmere
dresses, a pastel blue-green is very much
to the fore. This is not pale reseda nor
duck-egg green though very like both. It
is rather nearer the beautiful shade of the
inner layer [of an emu’s eggshell, which
makes such a perfect harmony with the
dark grecn of the outside when the shell is
carved.
Care of the Shoes.—With the vastly in-
creased number of styles in footgear, the
number of sorts of leather employed and
the various colors de rigueur, the care of
the shoe is a matter which takes on con-
siderable importance. The first necessity
in the care of the shoe is the tree.
out trees they cannot be made to retain
their shape, becoming wrinkled and an-
ciens-looking. Since the trees may be had
as low as half a dollar, and will last for-
ever, there is no reason for not possessing
them.
An expert says that the perspiration aots
like an acid on the leather, causing it to
become tinny, hard and brittle.
In extreme cases leather has actually
cracked open from no other cause.
As to Tan Shoes.—Before wearing a
tan Russia call shoe it is well to rub into the
leather a tan wax paste, which will close
the pores of the leather, thus preventing
stains from becoming anything wore
gerious than outward blemishes.
In cleaning these shoes only use the acid
liquid cleaner in extreme cases. It is too
severe. Instead wash the leather off with
water before applying the paste that comes
for tan shoes.
Colored kidsare to be cleaned the same
a8 Russia calf; only for these dainty shaes
there is a special liquid dressing.
Light-Hued Shoes.—Even the shoes of
light hues have been taken under consider-
ation.
It looks like a piece of bees’ wax or
brown soap, and contains a little of every-
thing, even rubber.
Best of all, itisn’6 messy.”” One simply
rubs it over the soiled places until they are
slean.
This will also clean suede kid, though
there’s a new cream that is somewhat bet-
ter for suede.
Though both these cleaners act well on
white buckskin, nothing is better than the
whitewash-like preparation with which all
are familiar. This, however, is a white-
wash rather than a cleaner, and so, at in-
tervals, the shoesshonld be washed in soap-
suds. After being quickly dried the
‘“‘whitewash’”’ is applied. It is equally
good for white linen shoes. J
The gayer the shoe the worse it looks
unless it be ‘‘spick and span.”
Spring Neckwear.—The collar—in faos,
neckwear of all kinds—ie a formidable
consideration to begin with. There is quite
a fad for the plain linen collar again. The
smartest is a high turnover shape fastened
with jeweled links and made with buston-
holes large enough to slip through them
tulle or ribbon which is tied in a bow just
above the links. Another plain high linen
collar has these narrow straps in front
fastened to the collar with tiny pearl but-
tons, and through these straps is pulled a
silk necktie, which is left without being
tied, but which has all the effect of a wide
bowknot, as in front the bands make it
look narrow, and then tbe ends flare out
wide.
Smart Collars.—Canvas will enter very
largely into the construction of smart col-
lars and turnovers this season, and many
of them will ‘be elaborately embroidered
either in white or in colors.
With- |.
Worth Remembering.
Real service is never servility.
The nearer one gets to God the closer one
gets to one’s neighbor. .
The faot that there is no law against it
does not always make it right.
The way to make tomorrow better than
yesterday is to work today.
The men who talk the loudest about
politics being dirty are the men who are
too lazy to help clean things.
If isn’t the money that counts ; it is the
intent and purpose of the giver.
A man may burn so much ‘‘midpight
oil”’ that he has none left to oil the day’s
machinery.
The man who starts out looking for troub-
le usually finds it just about to enter his
own door.
When a man begins to imagine that he
‘doesn’t look his age’’ it is a sign that he
is growing old.
. The man who has no business of his own
is a mighty poor man to engage to attend
to your business.
A man may buy the reputation of being
a philanthropist, but he can not buy the
real philanthropist’s character.
If a man is real honest he will admit that
the proudest moment of his life was when
he could see faint signs of a little bunch of
beard in front of each ear.
He Wasn't a Legislator.
A traveling man who ‘‘makes’’ Kansas
City frequently was dining in the cafe of
one of the large hotels yesterday when he
thought he'd play a trick on his waiter.
‘‘See that man at the next table, George ?”’
he said.
The waiter nodded assent.
‘“That’s Dr. Alonzo Tubbs, the Mis-
souri legislator, who is trying to stop all
tipping.”? The waiter grew interested at
once.
“Well, ain’t dat too bad,’” he said,
“Ah’s been waitin’ on him, tno.”
‘Well, you won’t get any tip there,”
said the traveling man.
‘‘Ah suttingly treated him right,” re-
plied the waiter.
A few minutes later the man at the other
table left and the waiter returned to the
traveling man.
“Well,” said the drummer, ‘‘what did I
tell you ?”’
‘¢ ?Xcuse me, sab, but ah thinks you tole
me er fabrication,’’ said the waiter, grin-
ning. ‘‘Dat man ain’6 a legislatah—he’s a
gentleman.”
The man had given him a quarter—Kan-
sas City Star.
Sheep as Pack Animals,
The principal beast of burden in the in-
ner ranges of the Himalayas is the
mountain sheep, which will carry each
from seventeen to twenty-five pounds of
baggage and live entirely on the herbage
by the wayside. A small flock of them
accompanied a recent expedition of a fa-
mous Indian explorer for more than 1000
miles, being at the finish none the worse
for the journey. ;
It is common in the Himalayas to load
sheep high up in the mountains with
borax and then drive down to the plains,
where they are shorn of their wool, and
return laden with grain or salt. They
stand the severe cold of the highest ran-
ges of Tibet better than the yak or
mountain cow, and are indeed indispens-
able to the primitive needs of transit
of the dwellers there.
The Younghusband expedition has pro-
vided a khowledge of the animal which
the world lacked before, and it shows up
as a beast of high meri with an all-around
utility not easy to surpass.
