FARM NOTES.
It is said that among useful plants there
are 266 from which aromatics are obtained.
There are 10 wax trees and shrubs, and 330
which have been made to yield essential
oils. From 88 different plants potash, soda
and iodine bave been extracted, and 650
are of use to the dryer and to make ink.
One of the strongest evidences in favor
of dairying is the fact that hut few, if any,
farmers abandon dairying in order to turn
their attention to other pursuits on the
farm, unless it be to raisessock. The value
of dairying is not alone from the receipts
obtained for milk and butter, but also from
the gradnal increase of fertility in the soil.
Some of she best friends of the farmer
are the parasitic insects. The ichnenmon
fly deposits egus in caterpillars, and the to-
mato wor seldom escapes. The eggs soon
hatch and the larvae eats into the worms,
avoiding the vital parts uotil the little par-
asite shall have been full fed, when they
then come out and spin cocoons on the
bodies of their victims.
A great many breeders fail to achieve
the greas resalss at which they aim simply
because of their reluctance to discard an
occasional animal which contaios a slight
blemish. Wanting the best, they use what
they know is not perfect to produce it,
hoping Nature will kindly gloss over and
not reproduce the defect. Such a policy is
suicidal. The breeder who would enjoy
the highest success must pot be afraid to
cull. Let every animal which ‘cannot be
rated as strictly first-class be ripened and
sent to the shambles. Breed from only the
best, and on no consideration les your ‘flock
deteriorate through failure to Teject the
imperfect.
It is claimed by those who have made
the experiments that grafts set on the first
eut on the root or collar are more apt to
live than those on lower cuts. The first,
or lower, cut on the scion is more likely to
live than those taken higher up. The ter-
minal bud is not so sure to live as other
grafts, but those thas do generally make a
longer growth. When outs of the roots
four or five inches long are used they are
more likely to live than two and one-half
inch cuts, and more than twice as many
will grow as when the cuts of the roots are
one aud one-half inches long.
The wool from the wutton breeds is not
as fine as that from the Merinos, but is
heavier and more valuable than that from
serubs, hence tbe use of the mutton breeds,
which, while increasing the value of sheep,
also increases the production of wool at the
same time. Prices bave attracted attention
to better sheep, greatly benefiting farmers
in that respect, and it will be but a few
years hefore they will be more interested
in mutton aud lamb than in wool. If the
sheep aud wool( usually of inferior gnality)
produced on the large ranges be d-ducted
from the totals, the actual number of sheep
raised, and wool produced, on the farms is
really small, thus opening a wide field for
farmers with improved sheep. -
The velvet bean is receiving attention at
present. So far it has heen grown in the
South only, butitis claimed shat it can be
grown inany climate where corn will
thrive. It is doubtful, however, if it can
be produced successfully in the North. It
is a vine that covers a large surface. Plant-
ed in rows, four feet .apars, it spreads over
the ground to 15 or 20 feet in all directions.
The pods are grown in clusters along the
vines, the yield of beans being from 10 to
20 bushels per acre. A bushel of seed will
plans four acres. It is claimed that stock
relish the vine very highly. Analysis of
the bean shows it to be rich in protein. As
a green crop it is said to be unexcelled.
Wood ashes contain potash in a very
available form, but when the farmer pur-
chases them he incurs the risk of paying
twice their value, as the actual potash con-
tamed varies from 3 to 8 per cent. The
weight of ashes depends somewhat upon
the humidity of the atmosphere, as they
ahsorb moisture. Dealers in ashes will
sometimes request the farmer to place a
pinch of them to his tongue, so as to judge
them by their caustic effect, but sucha |
method is useless, as even leached ashes
will have a strong caustic taste. The only
way to buy ashes is to doso with a guar-
antee, and samples should be forwarded to
the State experiment station for analysis.
The advantages of a good pasture can-
not he over estimated. But a pasture, to be
one that furnishes the greatest amount of
nutrition, should consist of a variety of
grasses. It is common to allow pastures to
grow up to the grasses that are moss natur-
al to the soil, but the seeding down to pre-
ferred kinds should be done where the sod
is not heavy and productive. If one has a
good sod of grass that furnishes excellent
grazing for a large herd, it is doubtfal if
much improvement can be made by turn-
ing such a sod under, and the general ver-
dict seems to be that the fields should re-
main in grass as long as it continues tosup-
pors the stock, and no doubt such a con-
clusion is correct; hut there are pastores
that provide scanty herbage for stock.
—The value of a flock of sheep to the
farmer is nos exclusively in the quantity of
wool and mutton produced, but also in the
work the animals perform in destroying
weed» and fertilizing she land. Thefarmer
will never lose anything by giving over to
the sheep a tract of land that has become
overgrown with weeds. Let him begin
with a flock and keep an account of the ex-
penses, valaiog his land as its worth at the
time the sheep were placed thereon. With
all the objection that can be conceived
against them, the farmer will find shat, for
the amount of capital invested in the sheep,
he can realize more with them than from
any other animal on the farm, avd this
will not include an item that belongs in
favor of the sheep, which is the increased
fertility imparted to the land. In fact, it
it is quite a diffionlt master to keep sheep
without profit. They pay in the face of
almost any obstacle. Most farmers delight
to keep up old pastures, but old pastures
in time become well run out, and weeds
and nodesirahle grasses usurp the places of
better growths, With good breeds of sheep
instead of the craggy natives, the flocks
will he more valuable, will be improved,
the prices greater and the weights of car
oasses and fleeces increased. Sheep will
pay even when badly treated sometimes,
but, like other stock, care and attention
bring their reward, the farmers being more
than repaid for any trouble they give.
Give them the pastures, keep large flocks
and let them crop close if they wish, for
they will pay their debts in full at the
proper time.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN-
The tendency of evening dress is toward
the lighter, almost invisible fabrics, such
as chiffon, meteor and chiffon closh, made
up first, over chiffon as a lining, with tbe
an silk under that.
Satin-striped chiffon is a novelty, and is
exquisite for ball dresses and dinner gowns
for young girls.
Spangled robes have never been in better
favor than they will be this coming winter.
In suits the tendency is for plain cloths,
finished with a cloth of another color, and
gay trimming.
On dressy suits French buttons, with the
tone of the cloth in their center, are heauti-
ful, and in the best of favor.
Satin brocade has been used by Paquin
for the lining of some of his three-quarter
and long coats, worn over circular skirts
to match.
There is a growing tendency toward the
use of satin, instead of silk, for linings.
Hats show the influence of England as
well as of France in their shapes; and, our-
iously enough, many of them are replicas
of the hate worn by men between 1800 and
1825 in both countries.
The tilt of the bat, with the very high
trimming on the left side, and the Derby
crowns are three important points in this
year’s millinery.
Invisible checked black voile is one of
the most beautiful of all the new black
cloths. Checks and stripes and plaids—
invisible, except in a side light—come in
all the good colors and black, and form a
very aristocratic family of fabrics.
Circular skirts are bere, and they are
here to stay, but more for honse dresses
than for street suits. When the circular
skirt is used for a walking suit, it is laid
in panels, so as to keep it from sagging.
The flash and sparkle of the Empire are
seen in all the trimmings of all the =uits
and all the dresses, and can be obtained by
the use of silver or gold tissue,gilt buttons,
tinsel braids and even yellow cloths.
For afternoon suits broadcloths are al-
moss the only fabrics of great importance.
For street suits worsted, serges, che. iots
and mixtures, with occasional sombre plaids,
are used.
Youog girls are making chemise court
(short chemises) for themselves, finishing
them very simply with valenciennes lace
and three medallions, embroidered across
the front. In the lefs medallion,a single in-
itial of the name is embroidered.
Real laces and braids—the torchon braid,
the princesse braid, the duchesse braid—
are used without the lace as trimming for
evening gowns, but they must be very skil-
fully applied.
The French have not hesitated this year
to bring blue into. contiast with pink—a
combination we bave not seen before in
years, and very refreshing and beautifal
and girlish it is.
At lass there is a pocketbook meant dis-
tinctively for dress. It is of buffed alligator,
with a strap on the hack to slip over the
fingers, and is finished in delicate shades of
gray, biscuit, green, blue and purple. It
is supposed to match the suit.
Small handbags of gold or gilt mesh are
the moss interesting of all the new styles
of autumn.
In every style of plumage hat there are
wonderfal things: the soft browns, dull and
rich at the same time, incredible as it
seems; and the deep, exquisite reds—it’s as
if a bid of paradise bad suddenly distribu-
ted his feathers in a series of glowing little
heaps, each of a single shade.
The redingote, with the fullness all ous
of its skirt, on a plain, close-fitting belt,
with a vest in contrast, is here again this
fall.
The three chief stones of the season are
turquoire, amethyst and the lighter
saphyres. This is true of the imitation
gems as well.
The embroidered designs in the silks are
beautiful, indeed. They give a richness
that is quite regal.
Among the newest gloves are the piques.
The kid pique is quite a novelty. Is has
two large pearl buttons. The top of the
glove has a smart finish of two edges, pink-
ed, one below the other, aud contrasting in
color with the shade of the glove.
Secret bracelets, bracelets that lock on
the arm and are supposed never to come
off, are worn as engagement bracelets. As
a matter of fact, they can be taken off by
the injection into the lock of a pin-point.
The fancy ties this season will be, prin-
cipally, long ends in the front. Some of
the old styles are still in vogue; old favor-
ites cannot be discarded. - Bat some of the
very newest are exceedingly pretty. They
have a good deal of style about them, too.
The designs run pretty much the same in
silk and linen.
Linen shirt waists, tucked and as plain
as a pipe stem, will he worn by younger
women,
Tarndown collars, embroidered or bean-
tifully hemstitcbed, will be worn with
them.
A strictly new glcve is the cheverette,
without seams. It comes in three shades—
tan, gray and felt. It bas two fasteninge—
the clasp and one large pearl button. The
felt shade is particularly attractive and will
be worn extensively, because it is neutral
in tone and can be worn with any number
of costumes. Dame Fashion takes an eco-
nomical turn now and then.
Shirt waists, particularly those of clan
tartans, are going to be popular with the
gray coat suits, which will be so much |
worn,
November According to Hicks,
The first storm period is central on the
6th, extending fiom the 4th to the 9h.
After two to four days of cool, fair, frosty
weather, say ahous the 5th, the barometer
will begin falling in the west, change to
cloudy and warmer will attend the falling
barometer, and autumnal rains, prchably
ending in snow, will pass eastwardly over
she country daring the 6th, 7ch and 8th.
The regular raise of barometer, and change
to much cooler, clearing weather will fol-
low closely on the western side of the storm
areas.
The second storm period is central on
the 11th and 12th. Chaonge to warmer,
falling barometer,southerly winds,growing
cloudiness and more autumnal rains will
make their transit from wess to east across
the country, on the touching the 11th and
12th. Watch for the threatening condi-
tions named above—oconditions that go be-
fore all storms; watch, also, for the change
to colder, with northwesterly winds, rising
barometer, and clearing, freezing weather
at night, sare to follow from the west after
the storms.
The third storm period is central on the
17th, covering the 15th to the 19th. Abhoat
the time of this period it will be wise $0
expect some very decided auntamn storms
and gales. Low barometric pressure, on
any part of land, lake or sea, will be an
unusually sare harbinger of forceful atmos-
pheric disturbances. We prediet that the
north Atlantic, on the high sea and touch-
ing the coasts on both sides, will be visited
by high if not destructive gales, at this or
one of the remaining periods in November.
A November cold wave will follow this
period, covering the north, and affecting
materially weather conditions quite into
the south.
The fourth storm period is central on
the 22nd and 23rd. The disturbances of
this period will begin as early as the 21st,
with falling barometer and threatening
weather. On and about the 22nd and 23rd
general storms will be in progress from
west to east, with indications good for very
stormy weather for the halance of the
month. If general storms have not visited
land and sea at either of the last named
two periods, it may be set down as almost
an absolute certainty that wide and violent
disturbances will appear during the lass
two periods, and that these two will be so
prolonged and intensified as to make al-
most one continuous time of perturbations.

Ax ENGLISH AUTHOR WROTE: —‘‘No
shade, no shine, no frais, no flowers, no
leaves,——~November I” Many Americans
would add no freedom from catarrh, which
is so aggravated during this wonth that it
hecomes constantly troublesome. There is
abundant proof thas catarrh is a constitu-
tional disease. It is related to scrofala and
consumption, being one of the wassing dis-
eases. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has shown that
what is capable of eradicating scrofula,
completely cures catarrh, and taken in
time prevents consumption. We cannot
see how any sufferer can put off taking this
medicine, in view of the widely published
record of its radical and permanent cures.
It is undoubtedly America’s Greatest
Medicine for America’s Greatest Disease—
Catarrh.
