FARM NOTES.
—The plant known as weeds is the coat-
ing which Nature has taken to cover up
her waste places and neglected soil. With-
out such a covering the scil would become
sterile, unless cultivated by man.
—Any soil that will produce ordinary
farm crops will predoce the small fruits.
Work the land deeply, by the use of the
subsoil plow, and make it reasonably rich
by the application of some fertilizer. Make
the soil-fine and mellow, by repeating har-
rowing, and use manures liberally.
—Do not waste time and money trying to
grow profitable crops from land the first
need of which is thorough draining. Save
your money and put it into good tile,
properly laid, and in a few years it will be
returned to yon with. compound interest.
Farmers who have tried this know the val-
_ue of drainage.
—A wheel hoe is an excellent imple-
ment for garden use, as it saves labor and
does the work well. Some of them are
usually accompanied with knives, markers,
rakes and cultivators, each detachable,
thereby enabling hand labor to be applied
with the assistance of contrivances far su-
perior to many of the old methods.
—A gardener who has tested it for three
years, says that broken pieces of bone are
much better than broken orockery for
draining flower pots. The plants apropri-
ate the fertilizing quality of the bones, and
make such a vigorous growth that the
plants in pots supplied with hones conld
be noticed at once.
—Some weeds seem to hold possession of
the land persistently, but when they are
kept down by frequent cutting off of the
tops it is but a matter of time before they
will die, an every cutting causes exbaus-
tion. The stubble deld is a favorite place
for weeds, but if the mower is run over
the fields the weeds will be prevented
from seeding until the land can he plowed.
—Any soil that produces blue grass lux-
uriantly, provided it is well watered, is ex-
cellent for the dairy. But it is not only
the soil that is to be considered as the
character of the surface is equally import-
ant. Low, marshy, wet land can never
make a good dairy farm, although it may
be made so by drainage. if the soil is of the
right kind.
—1TI¢ is claimed that a strong decoction
of cedar, made by boiling the leaves, twigs
and balls, is an effective remedy for fleas,
bed bugs, lice on poultry or animals, and
for insects on plants. The stronger the
solution the hetter. It is possible that
cedar oil, mixed with cottonseed oil, will
also prove efficacious against such vermin.
—Asparagus is a crop largely engaging
the attention of specialists. A requisite
for the growth of fine plants isin giving
the roots plentv of horizontal room, three
feet apart each way, with no other plants
between, being the nearest allowable dis-
tance, while some prefer four or five feet.
Thus the most of the work may be done by
horse cultivation, and excessive manuring
is not necessary.
—Coal ashes, if scattered over sandy
land, will tend to make the soil heavier.
They do not possess any fertilizing value
of consequence, but they sometimes prove
beneficial in preventing the attacks of some
kinds of insects. Used for mulching cur-
rants and gooseberry bushes, coal ashes
have been found of advantage in protect-
ing against currant worms.
—The canker worm, known as the meas-
uring worm, is a nuisance much dreaded
by fruit growers, as they feed not only on
apple. plum, cherry and other fruit trees,
but also on the elm and maple. Theeggs
are deposited in masses of a hundred or
more, and the parent moth lays in the fall
as well asin the spring. Spraying with
Paris green is the remedy.
—Cabbages will thrive with frequent
cultivation; in fact, they may be culti-
vated every day with advantage. The first
* cultivation should he deep, so as to per-
mit the ground to absorb water from the
rains, after which the stirring of the top
soil for am inch or two will answer. It
grass and weeds grow in the spaces he-
tween the plants do not hesitate to use the
hoe, as the rapid growth of the cabbages
will well pay for the labor.
—When wind-breaks, in form of hedges
or straight rows of trees, are not desirable,
a gronp of evergreens will turn the currents
and break the force of the blast. It is also
well to note that on the cold side generally,
the north and west, is the place to set the
very bardiest trees. Among them birch,
poplar and willow rank first. The birch
is claimed to be the hardiest of all our
trees, and may he planted very closeas a
wind-break.
—I wish to grow an acre of onions, in-
tending to cover the land with horse ma-
nure and plow -it in, sow the seed, and
then spread poultry manure and ashes over
the land.: Is the method to be recom-
mended? : :
Is will probably be more eatisfactory to
plow all the manures under, barrow the
ground very fine, and apply fertilizer (a
special onion brand, which can be pro-
cured of dealers), using about 500 pounds
per acre, again barrowing the land well,
and drill in e seed, covering very lightly.
—As a rule, the majority of the farmers
sow seeds too deep. Small seeds need just
enough covering to give them moisture
and darkness. The soil should be preseed
on fine seeds only soas to exclude she
light. Especially should this be done very
carefully and slightly just before a rain.
Many of the seeds are lost, and
tation of some good, honest seedman
ruined, in the estimation of individuals,
because fine seeds are sown $00 deep, and
the soil is pressed down too hard upon
them. A great many farmers arein too
great a hutry to sow seeds early; they do
not wait for the ground to get sufficiently
dry and warm. It is bard to give general
directions that will apply in all cases, but
as a rule, the smaller the seed the lighter
should be the soil in which they are sown.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
A DAILY THOUGHT.
Once open the door to trouble, and its visits ar®
tiree-fold : First, anticipation ; second, in actua)
presence; third, in living it over again. There-
fore never anticipate trouble, make as little of its
presence as possible, forget it as soon as past.
Hints for the Stout.—The late M. Worth
always insisted on long and flowing lines
for his stout clients, and, quite regardless
of prevailing fashions, absolutely refused to
trim their gowns with horizontal effects.
The stout woman, therefore, will be wise
if she accepts as cardinal points in the study
of her wardrobe these two essentials won
from a world-wide experience.
IN STRAIGHT LINES.
It is wonderful, too, says the London
Express, what straight lines will do for a
stout figure, while curves merely accentuate
its embonpoint, and become unsightly in-
stead of beautiful. ?
All gowns should be made of some sof
material that can be put on very full over
a closely fitted lining of silk. This lining
olings to the figure, and adds nothing to its
bulk; while the voluminous skirt draped
upon it is too soft to take up space over the
hips and yes is full enough to give broad,
sweeping lines to the bottom.
Many stout women are appalled at the
suggestion of a full skirt. Bat if they will
try on a skirt that lies snugly round the
waist and hips,and flares well out from the
hips down, they will see how slender the
waist will appear in contrast to the full
effect of the skirt.
THE SKIRT FULLNESS.
The fullness should appear to spring
from the belt, and the ontline of the hips
should never be accentuated by having the
skirt fitted to them. The fitted yoke, with
a gauged or fitted skirt springing from the
yoke, is also an error of judgment. There
is no fashion worse suited to the stout wom-
an, as such a skirt cuts the figure,and gives
a short and dumpy appearance.
The top of the skirt should have the full-
ness laid in pleats or tucks, just as one
pleases. Of course, the extensively gauged
skirts should never be worn except by very
tall women, and even by them with dis-
cretion.
SOME USEFUL DON'TS.
A list of don'ts formulated by a modiste
who has made the stout figure an especial
study may be a useful guide to the woman
who is inclined to embonpoint.
Don’t use frills of any kind on a gown.
Use flat trimmings.
Don’t wear wide belts.
Don’t trim a skirt except at the bottom.
Don’t wear a sleeve that is full below
the elbow.
Don’t wear an Eton coat. Always have
the coat-line extend as far below the waist
line as possible.
Don’t wear a high-cut decolletage. Have
the low bodice cut to an extremity of de-
collete, and build up the top with patchy
effects to the required height. :
Don’t wear a tight-fitting coat if very
stout.
TIGER STOCKINGS.
That the leopard may not change her
spots is an established fact.
It is also a fact that the maiden with
tiger stockings will never consent to change
them for anything less stunning. And
they are dainty, too, as dainty and fas-
Sinating as their name is fierce and formid.
able.
As you may suppose, they are striped
‘round and ’round, the stripes being about
three-fourths of an inch in width. And up
milady’s leg go these stripes, this partic-
ular stocking being striped the entire
length of the hosiery.
There are clocks, too, done neatly in
silk, and in the color of this nether limb
covering.
The stripes are what would be called a
two-tone effect—that is, they are in two
tones of one color.
THE TRUE TIGER.
The truest of these tiger stockings are
those in golden brown and a deep dull gold
tone.
They are the real thing, their tawny
hues, for some reason or other, suggesting
the charmer of Old Nile.
A GLINT OF STEEL,
Though there’s the blue glint of steel in
the darker stripe of a dainty pair of Dres-
den blue, there’s nothing terrifying about
them, even to the timidest of Eve’s daugh-
ters. The lighter stripe is of an exquis-
itely delicate shade.
What could be cleverer to wear with a
dress in the new blue, called Saxon, Alice
and so forth. A fair expert says these
are being worn extensively with black
patent leather pumps and Oxfords.
IN QUAKER GRAY.
Naturally the fair Quaker City maid bas
been catered to in the making of these
stockings, which are said to have taken
Gotham ‘by storm (especially around the
Flatiron Building).
Quiet Quakery are the insinuating bands
of pale oyster gray, alternating with those
of slate gray. How dainty with a recep-
tion dress of light crepe de chine and suede
Oxford to matoh!
And so here’s to our long-suffering lower
extremities—patiens, enduring and even
mute at the Scotch plaid hosiery of some
seasons since. One cannot do better than
offer as a tribute Gilett Burgess’ touching
lines to his own extremities:
They haul me ‘round the house,
They drag me up the stairs;
I only have too steer them,
And they take me anywheres.
A little sugar added to the water used
for basting the roast, especially if it be
veal, improves its flavor.
Fish, particularly the salt-water kind, is
better if, when it is boiled, a cupfull of
good cider vinegar is mixed with the
water.

-| In Splitting Paper He Went One Bete
ter Than an English Expert.
Lucius Poole, a brother of William
Poole, the librarian whose name is per-
petuated in “Poole’s Index,” was
known throughout the country for his
rare skill in restoring and repairing old
documents and reprints. He lived for,
thirty years in a house at the south
end, Boston, with three congenial
spirits, one a collector of Dickensana,
the second of Napoleonana and the
third a collector of first editions.
Poole was a collector, too, of books,
letters and programmes relating to the
stage. He had a remarkable faculty,
for matching old paper and could ‘put
a corner or a patch on a letter or a
Playbill so neatly that it could be no-
ticed only under a magnifying glass.
Mr. Poole’s famous feat of splitting a
magazine page into four leaves or lay-
ers was brought about by an English
inlayer, who showed Mr. Poole a’ page
split in three leaves with the printing
on it unmarred. The American said
that he could do all that the Englishman
had done, and more, and after some
experiments produced a page of the
Century Magazine split in four leaves.
This was taken to London by a book
collector, who had gone abroad to add
to his library, and after the page had
been the rounds of the @ibs there it
was sent to Paris and caused the
Frenchmen to wonder.—Portland Ad-
vertiser.
Quaint Folklore Stories Concerning
These Luminaries.
The most touching of all folklore sto-
ries may be found in Charles F. Lum-
mis’ “Pueblo Folklore.” It is-one of
the many myths of the moon and beau-
lifully conceived. The sun is the All-
father, the moon the Allmother, and:
both shine with equal light in the heav-
ens. But the Trues, the superior divin-
ities, find that man, the animals, the
flowers, weary of a constant day. They,
agree to put out the Allfather’s, or
sun’s, eyes. The Allmother, the moon,
offers herself as a sacrifice. “Blind
me,” she says, “and leave my hus-
band’s eyes.” The Trues say, “It is
good, woman.”
They accept the sacrifice and take
away one of the Allmother’s eyes;
hence the moon is less brilliant than
the sun. The man finds rest at night,
and the flowers sleep.
In Mrs. Leiber Cohen’s translation of
Sacher Masoch’s “Jewish Tales” there
is a variant of the sun and moon story,
derived from the Talmud. Briefly told,
the sun and moon are equally lumi-
nous. It is the moon who wants, td be
more brilliant than the sun. Deity, is
angered at her demands. Her light.is
lessened. “The moon grew pale. Then
God pitied her and gave her the stars
for companions.”
Too Much For ‘Her Memory.
“You bad man,” exclaimed the flut-
tering hostess, “you've kept everybody
waiting!” ;
“Pardon me,” replied the young poet,
“I have been loitering on the slopes of
Helicon.”
“Helicon? Where's that? Another of
those new north shore places? I never
can remember the funny names they
give them towns up that way.”—Chi-
cago Record-Herald.
