FARM HOTES.
I am much in favor of the new method
of celery growing ; namely, close plaoting
so the plants shade one another, writes a
Washington farmer. To succeed in this
method two conditions must be met—
plenty of plant food and plenty of water.
—A difference of only one quart of milk
a day for 10 months between two cows
amounts to 300 quarts, which will be worth
from $10 to $20, according to the price ob-
tained quart. This fact should con-
vince ph sell milk from the farm that
it does not pay to keep any but the best
cows to be obtained.
—There should be good cows on every
farm, but they will never be found in the
hands of dealers who sell them to farmers.
The only way to secare a good cow is to
breed for her, for by so doing, il she is well
bred, her future will almost be known
when she is a calf, as ‘‘like begets like,”
and as the parent so is the offspring.
—When peas fail to germinate the cause
may be due to deep covering. It is the
poaschios with some to pup She seed in deep
use the plauts will then endurea an
spell, but an inch of dirt is sufficient. If
it is desired to have the seed planted deep
open a furrow with a hand plow, plant the
seed, covering with an i of dirt, and
after the plants are well up add more earth
to them until the farrow is filled.
—Awnless brome (bromus iner-
mis) will be found excellent for use on
drifting sands. It is a perennial, looks
somewhat like blue grass and is suitable
for Jigot, dry, poor soils, and resists dry
weather. About 15 pounds of seed per
acre should be used. It spreads by Seep.
ing underground stems or root stocks. It
will not thrive on wet soils. While not as
valuable as many other varietiss, yet it
serves well on light, sandy soils upon which
no other grass will grow.
—Crimson clover starts to grow very ear-
wn and it may be left on the ground until
e blossoms are full, when the crop may
be plowed under, bus this should be done
before seed is produced. It makes an ex-
cellent foundation for corn, providing ni-
trogen and opens the soil, but as all green
crops are liable to ‘‘sour’’ the land to a cer-
tain extent, it will be an advan to dust
the clover with newly-slaked lime (air
slaked, ) so as to correct the acidity, the
lime also being beneficial to the corn.
Wood ashes are also excellent.
—Regardiog the disposal of dead ani-
mals, itis a loss to bury them. If tb
are chopped to pieces and covered wit
fresh manure they will soon decompose.
The heap should then be raked over, and
the bones removed and ground or pounded | d
into small pieces. To reduce the bones put
them into wood ashes, keeping them damp
with liquid manure, or convert them into
super-phosphates by adding one pound of
sulphoric acid to one and one-half pounds
of bone. While the carcass is in the ma-
iy the heap should be well covered with
re.
~—When the soil is too wet the useful
microorganisms may be destroyed, and the
same may happen when she soil is too dry.
It is estimated that the soil should contain
18 per cent. of moisture, and tbat when
the surface is onltivated soas to be kept
loose there will not be a variation of 2 per
cent. of the moisture in the first 12 inches
of soil. Any farmer can estimate the
amount of moisture in weight. Take a
pound of the soil (first carefully weighing)
and dry it over a stove, weighing it again.
The difference in weight will be the
amount of moisture it contained.
—There is no better investment for the
dairyman than a small steam engine. An
sugine of only one horse-power will, be
quite sufficient to do many small jobs for
which band.-power would otherwise he
needed. But its most important use in
winter will be for steaming and cooking
food. This adds largely to the nutritions-
ness of the food because it makes the
starchy portion much more easy of diges-
tion. It is not necessary to steam or cook
food for fattening animals, and in this re-
spect the practice has gove out of favor,
but it paye to steam the food for milch
cows. They require a good deal of water
and can take it as well with their food as
by itsell.
—The large mutton breeds of sheep are
gradually displacing the merino breed, and
ers are finding ous that there is scme-
thing more to be derived from sheep than
wool. If low prices for wool have caused
farmers to turn their attention to the large
breeds the apparent misfortune will in the
future be looked upon as a blessing. The
English farmer would consider it a waste
of time and labor to keep a flcok of sheep
for wool only. The mutton sold in the
English market is of the highest quality,
and is proinced on lands that rent for more
than the same area can be purchased for in
this country, yet the Eog farmer re-
gards sheep as very profitable.
—Here are a few hints about trimming
trees :
Cherry trees, after the first few years and
when the head is formed, need practically
no proping. Simply cut out dead or cross-
ed limbs.
Peach trees need much trimming. Cut
back at least one-hall of the new growth
tach season, and thin ont the center of
Apples, pears, plums and quinces require
moderate pruning each year.
Avoid cutting off large limbs, if possible.
Cover all wounds with thick pains.
Broad, low-down trees are essier to
spray, thin, pick and trim. Cut out those
pact, low trees suffer less from
storms.
“Prune in June for fruitfalness, in the
ng for wood.” This is a wise old saw.
¢ most farmers are too busy with other
work in Jane ; consequently spring is usu.
ally most convenient, and so the
tion of orchardists do their prun
i Dre or March. But remember
there is great merit in June pruning.
When outting off fair-size sabe, cays
the Farm Journal, saw the under side of
one-third of the Nay
y
saw on top about one- inch
from the undercut; and when sawed
down almost to the undercut the limb will
break off and not peel down the side of the
tree. The illustrations give the idea, but
please remember that in actual practice the
oats should be nearer the main trunk than
shown in pictures. No stub should be left;

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
A DAILY THOUGHT.
Always laugh when you ean; it is a cheap medi-
cine. Merriment is a philosophy not well under-
stood.— Byron.
COMMENCEMENT PRESENTS.
Every young girl likes jewelry, and on
a Jog of graduation there is
no more suitable gift to make her than a
dainty personal trinket or some novelty in
pin, bracelet or chain.
Belt pins make impossible the untidy
“missing connection’’ between waist and
skirt. Charming novelties are those for
the athletic girl, a fox head, with tiny
diamond eyes, on a gold crop.
Other pretty styles are gold safety pins,
either plain or studded with stones. The
plain gold bands, bright or frosted are al-
ways good.
What girl is not crazy over neck orna-
ments? The new La Valliere style, with
gold chain and amethyst daogler, is most
attractive.
Festoon chains have three or more
danglers of amethyst or baroque pearls.
Garnets are in again. You can find noth-
ing more becoming toa brunette than one
of the new garnet necklaces with graduat-
ed star ants.
The dog collars in antique, green-finish-
ed silver, studded in ored ®tones, are
extremely stylish, especially over a dark
gown. Not expensive, either.
The gate-top bracelet, in links of plain
pi he Joida to the Eo us
ng ex; 8 to fit any arm. nally
adjustable is the gold or a serpent. Is
can be used as a necklace as well.
Pendants with amethyst centres sur-
rounded by baroque pearls would delight
any girl graduate.
Flower shirtwaist pins, in sets of three,
in rose-finished gold or baroque pearl stud-
dings, are worth considering.
Bangles never went out of favor with
girls, and are more lar than ever. Now
they are distinotly ‘‘the thing.’’ The plain
gold band is the best style.
Earrings are a relio of barbarism—a little
better now that they are sorewed on. The
round or button pearls are the favorites.
For straying lovelocks, a barette is in-
Sispeuse e. They come in rhinestones
pearls, closely set in silver, in walle-
of-Troy and crescent shapes. Plain gold
ones are still prettier.
Tortoise shell back and side combs are
equally conducive to a ‘‘tidy’’ head. Some-
times they are inlaid with gold scrolls.
A young girl's heart is sure $0 be won
either by a string of solid gold beads, or by
a plain gold locket, cut with a monogram.
Shadow work (which all the world’s do-
ing) may be made a great deal more at-
tractive i! French knots are set down the
centre of each of the wide petals.
Browns, both the true brown tones and
those that verge upon chestnut, are the
redominating shades for both dresses and
ts. And brown adapts itself admirably
to costumes of hall a dozen tones.
Checks, in all materials, are in great
vogue.
Short sleeves are in evidence, even upon
the most severe of tailored suits.
Scotch effects in ribbons are very good,
especially when used upon the smart little
salon ich have created such a furore
ere.
Datk violet velvet made the shoulder
straps for one striking princess gown of
le violet crepe de chine. Both the gown
tself and the velvet shoulder straps were
embroidered in a design of violets.
That very tiny sunshade that folds in
two is the newest form that the parasol—
deemed so indispensable an ‘‘article of
dress’’ by la belle Parisienne—has taken
upon itself.
Some of them, covered with lace—hlack
chantilly—are reminiscent of the days of
our grand-mothers.
— Artistic buttons are a natural outcome
of the popularity of tailored styles. De-
signs in fantastio colorings give a striki
touch to plain bolero jackets or loose sac!
coats.
. The bigh linen collar, with its dainty
muslin tie, has the seal of approval set
Bpon i by the best-dressed woman in
Voile is immensely popular—both wool
and silk varieties.’
White suede seems to he gaining in favor
over glace kid for the long gloves which
the short sleeves demand.
Oiled wall agers are coming more and
more generally intouse. A pale blue oil.
cloth covering which has none of the garish
gloss of the table oilcloth material, is pret-
ty. It is moreover easily cleaned and not
expensive.
When turning out gelatine or puddings
from moulds, wet a knife in cold water be-
fore passing it around the mould and it
will turn out with ease. Wet your knife
in hot water before cutting hot bread if
you wish it to cut well.
Pat a pinch of carbonate of soda in the
water when boiling salmon, and it will
make it a beautilal red color.
A too hot oven may be quickly cooled
by placing in it a basin of cold water. The
steam from the water will not injure any-
thing that is cooking except puff paste.
