FARM NOTES.
—A farmer who works with poor tools,
when he can afford so have good ones, adds
very much to his own labor without ac-
complishing much, or doing his work well,
as if he were supplied with the bess imple-
ments the market affords.
—Soiling stock permits of growing the
food and bringing it to the stock, instead
of allowing the stock to take up large
fields. By the use of ensilage more stock
can be kept than by giving up the fields to
grass for pasturage. Three-fourths of the
land will be saved and more manure made
by soiling.
—1It is shown by experiment that animals
affected by tuberculosis are in a condition
to communicate the disease to other stook,
and shat when slaoghtered and used as
beef the health of those who consume the
meat is endangered, some scientists claim-
ing that consumption may be commauni-
cated in such manner.
—Kerosene is of great assistance in the
proper care of poultry. The nest boxes
should be oiled with it, as a preventive of
vermin. A few drops occasionally in the
drinking water will hinder cold or roup,
and when applied to scaly legs it effects a
oure, while it is highly recommended as a
remedy for gapes.
—To produce the seeds of an apple the
tree is exhausted more than to produce the
much greater quantity of meat, because the
seeds contain a much larger proportion of
mineral elements. A much meat or pulp
can be grown on 500 fine large apple trees
as upon 1000 small, inferior ones, bus the
production of seeds will be only half as
great. Thus *‘thinning’’ not only adds to
the value of the present crop, but economizes
the energies of the tree for future ones.
—When running to grass pigs will stand
more corn or cornmeal without producing
irritation or inflammation of the stomach.
A pig or hog can never be fed entirely on
corn or cornmeal without causing more or
less inflammasion of the stomach. The
rank scent coming from their excrement
proves this. As soon as there shall appear
any signs of stomach disorder the pigs that
aresbut in pens should be put out upon
the ground, and they will at once begin to
root up the fresh earth and eat roots and
grass.
—The ashes from apple, pear and peach
trees contain about 70 per cent. of lime,
and the crops of fruit borne every year also
contain lime. When orchards fail it is al-
ways profitable to apply lime,and it should
be done at least once in five years. Wood
ashes are preferable to lime for orchards,
bus the lime is much cheaper. Lime will
also prove of benefit to grass that may be
growing in an orchard, and it is destructive
to certain grubs and other orchard enemies.
It is best applied by plowing the orchard
land and broad-casting the lime over the
surface. =
—Grass or hay, fed to cows in milk, can-
not return its full manurial value to the
soil, as a part is used up in producing the
milk. There is also a loss when fed to any
growing or working animal,but the manure
made from feeding a ton of bay, if worked
into the soil, may be worth more for a
crop than if the hay were left to rot on the
surface. The manure, especially the liquid
portions, would aci quickly, while the bay
would decay slowly, and perhaps in part be
blown away upon other fields or waste
places.
—The farmer should endeavor to accom-
plish the same results as are obtained on
smal! plots used in private gardens. Mr.
C. R. Harrison, of Devon, Pa., this year
grew a large number of tomatoes of the
Stone variety, one of which was 13} inches
in circumference around the larger portion
and 11 inches in the shorter direction, the
weight being one pound. While the size
has been exceeded, yes she quality of the
specimen could not bave been excelled.
There is no reason why the farmer should
not grow for market specimens fully equal
to those produced in private gardens.
—Those who cut soiling crops for their
stock must remember that it is better to
have a succession of sowings to a given area
than to put in the whole at a single sowing.
Ten or twelve days is about the limit of
profitable cutting from a single planting
of any fodder. After that the crop becomes
too hard and couase for the best green food,
and it should then be cut and dried for the
winter feeding. Three small lots, planted
10 days apart, will give a month’s good
feed, while the whole planted at one time
would give two weeks of green food, with
the rest of the crop good only for drying:
—There are some peculiar things about
measurements of a ‘good dairy cow. The
length of the cow from the top of the head
to the ramp hone, when the top of the head
is in line with the spine, should be equal
to four times the length of the head. The
circumference of the cow in the centre of
the trunk, and when in full milk and not
affected by the calf, should pever be less
than four times the length of the head.
The length of the udder, measuring be-
tween the quarters, should be equal to the
length and width of the head combined.
The head of a 1250-pound cow should not
be less than 21 inches in length. - Such are
the olaims of an expert, but they are nog
infallible, as cows differ even when equal
as milk producers.
— Artichokes are frequently placed among
the lists of garden plants, which is due to
the fact that there are two species—the
Globe, which is not tuberous rooted, grow- |
ing only from the seed, the blossom only
of which is used; the other, is improperly
called the Jernsalem artichoke, is tuberous-
rooted, and grown ohiefly for its roots.
There are two varieties of the latter—the
white and red. Any land suitable for corn
will produce artichokes, Cnt the tubers
and plant them in the same manner as for
potatoes. They do not keep well if dng
ont of the ground. The usual method is
not to disturb them, as freezing does them
no harm. The hogs will root them out,
but enough tubers will always be left for
next season’s seeding. ;
—It should be kept constantly in mind
that damaged grain, mouldy feed, sour
swill or brewers’ slops should never be
given to pigs. The custom that is so prev-
alent among farmers of feeding garbage be-
cause it is cheap will surely cost too much
in the end. Farmers have been known to
lose many of their hogs when they were of
a size to net them a handsome profit, whose
death has been traced directly to the feed-
ing of garbage. - For young and growing
swine nitrogenous foods, such as milk and
waste products of the dairy, peas, oats and
shorts are blood and muscle-forming food
and should constitute the bulk of the ra-
tions.
bh
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN:
There is perhaps nothing in the home
that isa better criterion of the taste and
culture of the occupants than the pictures
that adorn or disgrace its walls and yes the
subject of their selection, framing and
hanging is usually the one to receive least
consideration in farnishing a house. Many
houses, otherwise well furnished, bave
pictures in such atrociously bad taste as to
completely spoil the effect of the whole.
Good copies, photographs or photogravures
of the great masters can be boughs for a
small sum nowadays but in the majority
of cases a poorly colored chromo or print in
a gaudy and expensive frame is preferred,
consequently the whole atmosphere of the
house is cheapened and belittled. One
good picture, correctly framed, will make a
room while a heterogeneous collection of
poor ones will juss as surely advertise your
ignorance of things pertinent. If you want
yours to be a house evidencing good taste
and culture do not allow a motley collec-
tion of all sorts of pictures in all sorts of
frames, cheap oil paintings, poor crayons
of the family in gaudy gilt frames, eto., to
mar its walls. Banish them all, but if you
are attached to the family photographs
reserve them for the bedroom as: that is
their proper place. Few of us can afford a
good oil portrait or painting by a master
and a poor one is fit only for the rubbish
heap.
The following article from the Ladies’
Home Journol is well worth republishing
and careful perusal. There will later be
published in this column equally reliable
advice on what pictures to buy and how to
hang them :
GOOD TASTE AND BAD TASTE IN PICTURE
FRAMING.
A picture is added to or spoiled by its
frame. There is one safe rule to go by in
framing pictures : the moment the frame
is noticeable there is something wrong
about it. A frame should be a part of the
picture; it should be of it, but never in
evidence. Suppose you have a hrown-
colored picture or photograph; frame it in a
plain wood frame of a brown toned to the
brown in the picture—not a thin band of
gilt next to the picture, as so many picture
dealers will wrongly advise; that merely
introduces a band which catches the eye.
Bring your brown wood directly nex$ to
the picture so that you can scarcely see
where the picture ends and the frame be-
gins; then you have a harmonious whole.
If your picture calls for a mat use a brown-
colored one. But keep your wood simple;
no carving; no filigree work. If your pic-
tare or photograph is gray in tone use a soft
gray-finished wood. Try a piece of Jap-
anese cedar tinted a soft gray, and you will
have a harmony of color in pictare and
frame.
If a black frame is desired avoid the
shiny kind; but take an ordinary pine
frame and stain it with lamp-black. A
frame finished in this way is very cheap,
and yet some of the finest pictures in the
world bave been go framed.
Where you feel you want a gilt frame
take a piece of oak and have it bronzed or
gilded in dull finish, not shiny. Subdue
your gilt as Whistler did in his frames—
apd no artist understood framing better. If
you would have an effect out of the ordi-
nary take a common pine frame, cover is
with Japanese grass-cloth and have it stain-
ed a dull gilt.
. Where thousands go astray isin the use
of the atrocious bright gilt frames. For
years these gold picture-frames have been
universally acoepted as good, whereas, in
reality, no kind of framing is io such un-
pardonably bad taste. Why? Because
gilt frames never properly had a place in
the home. They were first used to frame
richly colored paintings placed in dim
cathedrals; often as altar-pieces, where the
gold of the frames repeated and emphasized
the golden vessels nsed about the altar. In
such surroundings anything less rich than
gold would not have been in good taste.
Then in large galleries of great paintings,
where some method of framing musé be
adopted that will not let one picture jump
out and °‘‘kill” .its neighbor, gold was
adopted as a compromise.
In a home a gilt frame never had a place,
and never can have.
small room a gilt frame immediately makes
itself conspicnous—the very last thing that
a frame should do. Itis foolish to say that
the plain wood frames are monotonous.
First, the pictures themselves should give
variety; as was said before, the frames
should not be noticeable. Second, the in<
finite variety of tones in which wood frames
can be bought nowadays prevents any dan-
ger of monotony.
Do not allow your daughters to lose their
illusions, but be wary, lest they become
dreamers.
Ninety out of every hundred women
bury their minds alive; they do not live—
they merely exist.
It is the men who seldom have anything
to do with women who rail at them the
hardest.
The kindnesses of men are oftener the
outcome of their own satisfaction rather
than their desire to please.
#
We live in a rush from morning until
night, and what do we get ous of it ? Cer-:
tainly little more than existence.’
Discrimination denotes maturity; it en-
ables 08 to get the most out of life and to |° Ti
know just what we are getting.
As we must rest perpetoally in the next
world, it seems a very good idea to be thor-
oughly tired out in this.
Moods are a luxury; they should go with
a life wholly free from ordinary cares, so
that one may enjoy an entire abandonment
to their sway.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 5. — Yellow
fever is spreading steadily along the
Gulf coast. Five new cases were re-
ported from Gulfport and two from
Mississippi City. The removal of all

party on board that vessel spent sev-
eral nights in the district now in-
fected after the dredge had reached
here.

Plenty of Milk with Tea.
The London Lancet advises that the nse
of plenty of milk with tea is a sound
physiological proceeding, for the reason
that the proteids of milk destroy astringenoy
and prevent the otherwise injurious action
of tannin on the mucous membrane of the
stomach. In the intestinal juice it is
thought that the tannin combines with
sodium salts.
