FARM NOTES. —The occasional changing of pastures makes fat stock. —The good qualities of a horse do not all come from the sire. —Generally it will be best to ring the hogs before turning them on the clover pasture. —In the developement of horses judg- ment should be exercised as well as muscle. : —Paint with any common paint the wounds made by cutting off the limbs of fruit trees. It does not pay to feed out a steer that is not well shaped, growthy, and which does not take on flesh readily. —The spring lambs intended for mar- ket should be fed all they will eat of nu- tritious food and be made large and fat be- fore shipping. —Every item of expense must be cut down as low as possible, if under present conditions, any profit is to be derived from dairying. —The water from the tubs on wash day is a valuable fertilizer, and no better use can be made of it than to pour it around the newly planted trees and vines or to sprinkle it over the beds of vegetables. —There is a close relation between in- sect depredators and the health of trees. As a rule insects are scavengers. They are related to disease. Half the battle with insects is to help the tree battle for itself. —While aiming to produce good butter do not forget that one of the most important essentials is the purity of the salt. Butter may be injured by salt, and as no mineral is more difficult to rid of impurities than salt, extra care should be exercised in se- curing the best to he obtained. —Muck should not be applied to the soil as soon as taken from the bed. If thrown out and exposed toa winter’s freezing it will be pulverized and rendered soluble. The best way to obtain all the fertilizing value there is in muck is to use it first in the stables and wherever an absorbent is required. —There are a great many farms and fields that can never be cultivated at a profit. These, if planted with forest trees, such as chestnuts, oaks of different varie- ties, pines and larches, will produce a growth of timber which will be a source of profit, and then the energies of the farmer might be concentrated upon the best land, and bis manure could be applied where if would do the most good. ’ —It has been demonstrated that a cow will eat as much as 75 pounds of green food in one day. ‘This appears as a large quantity, but such cows are also producers of more milk than cows which eat bat little. It is of no advantage to have what is termed a ‘‘light feeder,”” as it is impos- sible for a cow to yield milk in large gnan- tities unless she consumes sufficient food from which to produce the milk. —Sell the poor cows and buy no others unless you know all about them. Farmers lose more money by buying fresh cows than from any other source. They cannot judge of the capacity or disposition of the animal until it has been tested, and disease may be brought into the herd unknowingly. When the foundation of a herd rests upon the breed, and the farmer patiently waits until he has secured cows of his own breed- ing, the road to success will then be easier. —Onions to keep well must be perfectly cured and dried ;with top and root perished away. They will keep best in.a dry, cool room, safe from freezing, or, when once slightly frozen, by being kept frozen. Never put in barrels, or in deep boxes or bins. Shallow, open crates are all right. If youn have some dry room, not much sub- jected to sudden changes of temperature, it may be utilized for storing onions. Spread them on the floor six or eight inches deep, leave them there until frozen, then cover withstraw or similar material, and keep them frozen. Do not handle until they have gradually thawed out again. —Farmers cabnot make valnable ma- nare out of substances that are of inferior quality as food for stock. The value of manure depends entirely upon the sub. stances from whioh it is derived, and the bulk signifies nothing. One ton of ma- nure from animals that are fed on bran, middlings and cottonseed will contain many times as much plans food as will ma- nure that may be made from straw or less nusritions materials. —It was long ago the discovery of Eng- lish farmers that barn mauure, as they call lime phosphate, was good for the tur- nip orop.: The tarnips were often fed on the land where grown, and the field thus fertilized with the sheep droppings was afterward sown with wheat or other grain. Usually sheep, given a turnip patch to feed down, were well fed with/grain, or linseed meal, which made much richer manure than would tarnips. —A community of small farms has many advantages which are not known where large farms are the rule. The farms are boner cultivated and cared for, and the whole section bears a more thrifty appear- ance. Neighbors are nearer, and generally of the most intelligent class, while roads are better, and churches, schoolhouses, stores and other conveniences necessary to the most advanced civilization are more numerous, and their advantages can be more easily and conveniently enjoyed. —Stock should be fed a variety of food. Many flocks and herds have to subsist al- most entirely upon grain food the entire year, which is an injudicious mode of feed- ing. Vegetables, either raw or cooked, or mixed with ground grain, are exoellent, but thereis nothing equaling a liberal sapply of grain morning and night, with plenty of grass during the day; and if the pasture is supplied with a mixed herbage so much the better. Variety conduces to health and promotes shrift. —The bees make the quality of their honey according to tbe Kind of food or flowers from which it is procured. Emi- nent anthorities on bee culture state that when bees are fed scorched honey the honey in the combs did not differ there- from. The same result occurred when granulated honey was fed to the bees. Honey can therefore be adulterated in the combs. Glucose, when fed to bees, is de- posited in the combs as glucose, and is has long been known that certain flowers pro- duce honey of a superior quality to thas derived from others, FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN: Nats and apples, the Halloween dainties, can be employed in a variety of new and amusing ways for frolics for the great oc- casion of fate. In fact, 2 nut and apple party would make a catchy name as well as a delightful and characteristic entertain- ment, Rosy apples, strung together, or the red ones alternated with green pippins, make charming festoons for the festive parlor. At one end of the mantelpiece have an old- fashioned engine heaped with papier mache apples filled with bonbons. These are distributed as souvenirs when the guests take their leave. Around the room, before the company assembles, are hidden specially prepared walnuts. These are shells from which the meats have heen removed and a slip of paper substituted, the shells afterward glued together again. The writing on each paper is the same. It should read somewhat after this fashion: ‘On the stroke of 12 steal silently to the farthest end of the cellar and dig. Keep this strictly secret. To tell any one will break the speil.” Of course, on the stroke of 12 all players will find themselves together in the cellar, which must be dimly lighted only. Dig- ging with tin spoons at the farthest end of the subterranean apartment will reveal little envelopes containing fortunes. The nuts containing the important directions are hidden around the parlor, to be search- ed for at some stage of the fan. €xThe question of who is to be married within a year can be decided by a varia- tion of the apple bobbing spors, which fig- ures in most nut-crack night programs. Take rosy apples or fine green ones and shape them into little baskets with ban- dles. Ms Write the word ‘‘Yes’” and ‘No’ on slips of paper and put one slip into each apple. The latter are placed, half a dozen at a time, in a tub of waster, where they float, tobe fished for by fate-seekers. The fishing poles can be made from walking sticks or rods out in the woods. To each attach from half to three-quars- ersof a yard of twine, and, of course, a pretty bow of ribbon. To the twine tie a specially made large hook of bent wire. Players are blindfolded in turn and fish thus handicapped until something in the way of an apple basket is caught. The word written on the paperis an answer to the question of whether or not each will marry within a year. This will be found just as exciting as bobbing for apples, and it does nos entail any ‘‘mussi- ness.’’ A set of puzzles founded on the names of nuts is interesting, and a pretty prize may be offered in this connection. Here isa suggestion for the riddles. It may be al- tered by any hostess who has an inspira- tion on the subject. MIXED NUTS. What nots are twice-told tales? Chest- nuts. What nut is asandy coast? Beech (beach) nuts. What nut shonld be eaten with bread? Butternut. a What nat can make a good fvegetable soup? Pecan (Peacan) What nut gives two masculine names abbreviated? Filbert (Phil-Bert). What nut is a strong box? Chestnut. What nut is a dairy delicacy? Cream |: nub. What nnt is the shape of many Oriental eyes? Almond. What nut names a part of itself and an animal’s ory? Shell-bark. What nut is a barrier of very dark hue? Black wal (1) nut. Write the set‘ of puzzles on as many sheets of paper or cards as you have receiv- ed acoeptances, and award as a prize for the bess list of answers some little silver trifle, such as a ssickpin or penknife, in one of the small pasteboard boxes repre- senting nuts, which sell at from ten cents to a half dollar. Or a bona fide nus search, in which nuts of all kinds are hidden to be searched for, may be a feature of the evening. A gen- tleman and a lady search together, shar- ing a little basket between them. Each class of nuts has a difierent value,and there is a prize for the collection which aggre- gates highest. Another novel way to distribute fortunes isby means of a Halloween ghost, with the cellar as its habitat. The basement must be almost perfectly dark, merely a | flickering candle lamp here and there. Only one person can descend to the cellar at a time, bus any one who has courage to go alone is rewarded by a fortune. This is presented by the ghost, which is gotten up in she usual way with sheets and mask, and to which the darkness lends shivers. To make this feature appropriate to the nus and apple frolie, it is only necessary to inclose the fortunes in ‘candy boxes thas represent nuts or apples. The marriage question, if one lacks time to prepare the apple baskets described in the beginning of this articie,can be arrang- ed in a somewhat simpler fashion. Each player iv tarn receives a teaspoon on which is poised an apple, which is farther sur- ‘mounted with a wedding ring. Any player who can ran or walk very quickly around the room without dislodg- ing the ring will very shortly win the per- son of his or her choice. The boys and girls may obtain an idea of what the future helpmate will look like by another amusing game. Some time in advance of the party the hostess muss ous from advertizing pictures and magazine illustrations a number of faces of handsome men and pretty girls. The faces oy the heads alone are used. These morsels of paper are folded into very. small space and inclosed in natshells, which are afterward glued together. Those containing girls’ faces are tied with blae ribbons, those with the men’s faces with pink. Stretch a cord across the room and tie all nuts containing girls’ faces to it. Blindfold the men in turn, or two or three at a time, and let each reach the cord as best he nay and untie the shell he first touches, Then tie on the shells baving men’s faces in them and let the girls put their fate to the tess. The pictures inclosed represent the type of man or girl the Halloweener : will marry.—By Mary Dawson, in North Amer- ican. There is nothing funnier or livelier for a Hallowe'en party than the game of “musi cal fright.”” The chairs are set back to back in two long lines down the room, one: less than the number of players, who be- gin to circle round and round the chairs t0 the music of a lively march. At a signal —sudden stopping of the musio—each soramhies for a seat. Tie person left out is consoled by draw- ing fiow a bag a tiny toy musical ingtra- ment (a kazoo or horn or flute or rattle ec ), on which he plays as the game pro- ceeds. Constant additions are made to the toy insiramens orchestra, as a obair is removed at each stage of the game. The \ players play with all the vim possible. As may be imagined, the merriment rises to great hilarity when the last two contest- ante swing about the last chair on thé final round. A grand finale by the whole company on. the toy instruments ciowns the jolly game. Following this lively exercise a charade will form a pleasant and restful feature. A good charade is the word ‘‘cautrap’’ played in two syllables in pantomime, ‘‘cant-rap.’’ The first scene may be a school room, where successive failares in dumb show are made by the stupid scholars, who can’t read, write or spell. The second syllable may also be acted in a school ‘room scene, ‘‘rap’’ being illustrated in various ways. Or it may be a seance, with spirit rappings. The whole word may be best illustrated by a gypsy or witch, with caldron (old kettle)over an alcohol lamp, working a ‘‘cantrap’’ or incantation. ~——Take Vin-te-na and she good effect will be immediate.

San Francisco, Oct. 24.—The Pacific Mail liner Siberia arrived at this port direct from Yokohama in record break- ing time of 10 days, 10 hours and 28 minutes, the fastest previous trip be- tween the two places having been made by the Korea in 11 days, 11 hours and five minutes. There were many distinguishhed pas- sengers on the Siberia, among them be- ing Miss Roosevelt, United States Sen- ator Newlands, of Nevada, and wife; United States Senator Warren, of Wyo- ming; Representative Longworth, of Ohio; E. H. Harriman, president of the Southern Pacific, and Miss Mabel Boardman and Miss Amy McMillan, of Washington, D. C., the latter being traveling companions of Miss Roose- velt. ) Miss Roosevelt's party, accompanied by Mr. Harriman, left immediately on a special train for the east. An attempt will be made to beat all previous rec- ords between Yokohama and New York. “All the presents that arrived were merely inexpensive mementoes of the trip such as any one travelling in strange countries would receive,” said the president’s daughter. “There was really nothing so remarkable about my trip, and I cannot understand why so much fuss was made about it. I had an exceptionally fine time and enjoyed every moment that I was away. The only thing that I regret is that so many nonsensical stories were circu- lated regarding me.” BREWER'S HEAD BLOWN OFF Decapitated By Flying Stave in Vat Explosion. Reading, Pa., Oct. 23.—Adam Stock- er, aged 26 years, member of the Stocker Brewing company, was decap- itated and instantly killed by a most peculiar accident as he was in the act of leaving the brewery for his home at the end of the day’s work. In the last process of fermentation, just prior to being racked off into kegs for the trade, the beer is clarified in large vats holding 70 barrels each. In the racking-off process an air pressure is used, being admitted to one end of the 70-barrel vat, while the beer is forced out at the other end. Stocker himself had turned on the air pressure on a vat and neglected to open the valve to permit the beer to flow out. The vat exploded with such terrific force that a stave tore off the top of Stocker’s skull as he was about passing through the door from the room. : A man standing 15 feet away was knocked down and another vat, con: taining 70 barrels of beer, was moved two feet. Portions of the unfortunate man’s head were found 50 feet away. WITTE IN IMPERIAL FAVOR Believed He Will Soon Be Premier and Head of Cabinet. St. Petersburg, Oct. 24.—Count Witte, it now seems, has definitely come into imperial favor, and the shrewdest ob- servers now consider it certain that he will shortly be in active direction of the government as premier and head of a responsible cabinet. Since his re- turn from’ the United States, Count Witte has boldly ranged himself on the side of the Liberals and has not only advocated complete liberty of speech, of the press and of assembly as a necessary corollary of the coming douma, but has urged the extension of the powers of the douma along the lines demanded by the reformers as well as a broader franchise so as to admit of fuller representation from the ranks of labor and the cultured classes. Will Erect Clerical Village. Washington, Oct. 23.—A movement for the establishment of a clerical vil: lage by the building of endowed col: leges for aged and infirm clergymen of the Episcopal church at the Na- tional Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, in this city, has been approved by Bishop Satterlee, president of the National Cathedral Foundation. Rev. ‘Alfred J. P. McClure is the originator ‘of the plan, for which he has anlisted strong support. The erection of the col- leges will be begun as soon as the necessary funds are collected. It is proposed to make the movement na- tional in its scope. Cash Prize For Consumption Cure. Paris, Oct. 23.—Parliament will be asked to offer a $200,000 for a cure for consumption. The project has the approval of the government, and its adoption, therefore, is assured. This is the outgrowth of the discussions at the Tuberculosis Congress. It is ex- pected that the prize will stimulate re- search in time for the result to be an- nounced at the next Tuberculosis Con- gress, in Washington, THE RoYAL MONTH AND THE RovAL DIsEASE.—Sudden changes of weather are especially trying, and probably ‘to none more so than to the scrofulous and con- sumpsive. The progress of scrofula during a normal October is commonly great. We never think of scrofula—its bunches, ont- aneous eruptions, and wasting of the bodi- ly substance—without thinking of the great good many sufferers from it bave de- riveb from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, whose radi- cal and permanent cures of this one dis- ease are enough to make it the most famous medicine in the world. There is probable not a city or town where Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla bas not proved its merit in more homes than one, in arresting and complete- ly eradicating sorofula‘ which is almost as serious and as much to be feared as its near relative,—consumption.
