FARM NOTES.
—8oil fertility is being taken from the
farms thes tines as fast by grain farming
as by stock farming.
—Egouumy in feeding the animals, while
the farm tools are exposed and rusting, is
more extravagant than any system of re-
ducing »xpenses with stock.
—Cobwebs and hay-seed should be kept
brushed fiom the walls and ceilings, and.
the floors shonld he scrubbed occasionally.
Lye cau he used to clear the floors.
—Mote sour milk than you know what
to do with? Set panful of is where the
heos can get as it, and see how quickly it
will disappear. You couldn't put it toa
better use. The hens can turn it almost
directly into eggs.
—Celery may be keps for winter use by
bankiug with earth and covering the tops
by weaus of leaves or straw to keep is from
freezing, or it may be dug and removed to
a cellar, cold frame, vacant hotbed, or pis,
and reset close together. with the roots
bedded in earth. While iu storage, celery
should be kept as cool as possible without
freezing.
—Sometimes maggots or lice injure young
trees at the roots, peach and plum trees be-
ing wore frequently attacked than some
other kinds. Remove the carth, so as to
expose as mach of the roots as possible and
saturate the earth as the roots with soap-
suds, scattering a poond of kainit ou the
roots before returning the earth to its place.
The trees will not be injured and all paia-
sites will be destroyed.
—An oblong figure, as long again as
wide, is the most profitable shape for a
garden, as the rows are then equally long,
and less time is takeu up iv turning the
hotse. The size of the same should be in
proportion to the number of the family,
bearing in mind the fact that one-fourth of
an acre, well manured and cultivated, will
produce more and better vegetables than a
whole acre not so well attended to.
—Every farmer vometimes has a good
cow —and above the average-~in his herd,
and he does not fail to notice her super-
jority. When such is the case the cow
should be the standard by which to gauge
all the others. The ohject should be to
bave nocows shat do not equal the bess
one. Sell off the inferior ones as fast as
calves from the superior cow will replace
them. Use pure bred sires, and do not at-
tempt to improve the herds by buying else-
where.
—-The dairy barns in some localities are
nos generally of firss class coustruction,and
many of them could be improved. In some
of the barns more windows are being placed,
but these are not so numerous as they
should be. As yet cement is little used in
the construction of dairy stables. The old
barns shat are being repaired are not being
remodeled according to modern ideas. The
most objectionable feature in the barns in
many localities are lack of light, lack of
modern stanchions and lack of cleanliness.
—A method of getting rid of stomps
whict has been highly recommended and
which to be effective should be done now
is as follows: Bore a hole one or two
inches iu diameter and aboat 18 inches
deep into the ceuter of the stump. Then
put into thie hole one or two ounces of salt
petre. Fill the hole with water and plug
it up. In the spring take out the plug,
pour in about one-half gallon of kerosene
oil aud light it. The stamp will smolder
away to the very extremities of the roots,
leaviug nothing but the ashes.
—Sowe of the small fruits that offer in-
ducements for growing them are entirely
neglected. When the market is well sap-
plied with some kiuds it may be lacking
in others. The currant and gooseberry are
examples. With carloads of strawberries,
blackberries aud raspberries reaching the
market, currants and gooseberries come in
small lots and sell almost on sight. These
fruits way require a little more care than
some kinds, hut it is the labor that gives
the price and the grower should produce
anything that pays a profit on labor.
—Pyrethum is well spoken of as av in-
sect powder. It is cheap, said to he poison-
ous only to insects, and very effectoal. At
the experiment station in Amberst they
mix a tablespoonfual of the insect powder
in a paillul of equal parts of water and
buttermilk, and sprinkle it on currant,
potatoes or other plants infected with bugs
or worms. The buttermilk makes the
powder stick to the plant, and in about
balf an hour the insects carl, drop to the
ground and die. Should is prove effectual
for the rose bug on grapevines, pyretham
will certainly be a blessing. The plans is
easily grown in gardens.
—The foraging system will answer for
the merino, hut the heavy breeds of sheep
do nos sbrive well in large numbers. Only
the hest of pastures, the flocks divided and
a wess of grain at vight will force them.
True, it requires more iabor and care, but
it pays, and, as the matter of sheep raising
is one of profit, the labor will always be
paid for before the estimate of profit can be
made. If more woney cas be made on one
good sheep than from three inferior ones it
is a waste of time and pasture to keep the
patives. The greatest profit is derived
from the wutton breeds, and the hest pas-
tures on the farm can be given up to them
with profit.
~The German experiments upon cooked
and uncooked foods for stock do not show

DAILY THOUGHT.
If all the pity and love untold
Could scatter abroad in coins of gold,
There wouldn't be on the whole round earth,
One hungry heart, one wretched hearth,
And, oh, if the kind word« never said
Could bloom into flowers, and spread and shed
Their sweetness out on the common air,
The breath of heaven would be everywhere!
- Exchange.
After each season is well started, and the
various innovations that it has brought
bave all been given their fair trial, its own
especial vogues come gradually upon us—
the survival of the fistess once again.
This year those cheerful Scotch colors
that do look so comfortable on a chilly au-
tumn day have heen finally established as
the season's chief characteristic.
**It’s ho for the bonnie Westmoreland.
And beigh for the bonnets o’ bhonupie
Dandee!’”
and many another good old Scoteh tune
comes tingling on the autumn winds that
sweep down the Champs Elysses, for every
clan is proudly represented in the morning
promenade. In their legitimate state, or in
a French modification of is, the Scotch
colors play a part in almost every costume.
Occasionally one sees the entire High-
lander’s costume copied in detail, even to
the fur pouch and a small turban made ex-
actly in the shape of a Scotch cap. This is
theatrical enough to be dangerous, and is
vos really appropriate beyood she school.
room age. A wuch more charming idea is a
kitted skirs in blue and green, or blue and
black, plaid broadcloth. With itis worna
simple biack velvet Eton jacket, which is
touched off with the cloth. There is a wide
belt to match the skirt. The Scotch idea is
very sabtly carried out in a big bat with a
tam-o'-shanter crown— the new shade of
green in color.
More substantial costumes are apt to be
made up of the smaller Scotch checks; a
kilted skirt and abbreviated Norfolk jacket
cat in the graceful pelerine shape.
Then there is the severe basque coat ac-
companied by a circular skirt— with its
bias seam in front and back as usuval.
fact, whole suits of this order are oftenest
made up ou the bias, and usually of those
cloths wherein the plaid is almost iovisi-
ble, as they would be very trying and loud
in she more defined vaneties.
Little girls, however, wear the brightest
of plaids that old Ecotland hoasts. Oftenest
those in which red predominates, with a
plaiv red coat and real Scotch cap.
The livelier colors are suggested in storm |
enats, too, aod is perhaps the bappiest of |
all the Scotch vogue’s innovations. In a pe-
coliar way they are appropriate to the
severe tailor-made required, and nothing
is so grateful as the »ight of one of these
cheery affaiis on a bleak wintry Paris fay.
A country girl whose circle of friends
was large and whose income was small,
planned for heiself a Christmas wedding
which took both of these possessions into
consideration and gave satisfaction all
around.
Since country churches areapt to be cold
and uncomfortable in the winter, she de-
cided upon a home affair, and arranged her
hour for 1 o'clock, as a train arrived from
town at 12:30 and left the little country
station at 4. Several! weeks before hand she
made arrangements with the one small
livery stable-keeper in the neighborhood
for securing the comfortable arrival and de-
parture of her guests, and then, haviog set-
tled these outside details, she devoted her
self to planning for the wedding proper.
Her house, while by no means preten-
tious, was fairly large, and bad a ball rov-
ning its entire length, with a large dining
room opening into it from one side, and a
rlor, with a tiny library, communicating
y means of a double sliding door, on the
other,
1t was decreed that the important cere-
mooy should take place in this library for
several reasons. It was at the back of the
house and had a door opening into the hall,
and it hoasted a large baw window.
The question of ciecorations was soon set-
tled. ‘T'here were no florists in that rural
neighborhood and a quantity of flowers
sent from the city meaus a heavy expense,
bat the woods near at hand were rich in
evergreens of many sorts, and a Southern
friend, who conld vot come hersell,promis-
ed a proxy in the shape of a huge bamper
of holly and mistletoe.
The entire first floor of the house—par-
lor, library, dining room and even the bal-
lusters of the stair way—were beautifully
decorated, whiie here and there the
ted and white berries gleamed, giviog a
touch of color. All superfluons farniture
was cleared from the room and the no

The bride in whitecrepe de chine, car-
rying a bouquet of bride roses and maiden.
hair fern, came then, leaning on her fath-
er's arm. A delightfal informal litle
breakfast followed. Since this was a hounse-
hold where few servants were kept, and the
expensge of bringing them in from outside
was a matter to he considered, the bride re-
lactantly gave up the notion of small
tables, and bens all ber energies to the ar-
rangement of one hig one.
e dining table in that family was a
cherished heirloom of mahogany, which
was left bare for the occasion, excsps for a
hauvdsome lace centrepiece. Upon this was
laced a low, flat silver dish, alsoan heir-
oom, which was filled with frais, twined
about with smilax, with here and there a
brilliant poinsettia blossom (one of the
bride’s few extravagances) to add oolor to
the arraugement.
‘I'he old-fashioned silver candle-sticks,
with their accompanyiog red candles and
bel! shades, were set about the centrepiece,
and the ress of the tale was given over to
the various plates upon which the hreak-
fast was to he served! :
The collation consisted of bouillon serv-
ter sandwiches, chicken salad and ooffee,
followed by ices and small cakes. No cater-
er wa« employed, and everything was pre-
pan at home with the exception of the
oes and cakes, which were sent in from
town with very little trouble or expense.
The hig frosted wedding cake, in which
were concealed the nsual ring, thimble and
piece of money, was put upon a small table,
and, of course, cat by the bride. There
were no boxes of cake distributed, as this
was one of the luxuries she fait that she
could not afford.
‘When the clock hands neared three the
bride sli away from the merry crowd
to dress for her journey, and when she next
appeared before them she wore her hat and
fars. She stood at the top of the stairway,
smiling down upon the upturned watching
her houquet among them,
where it was clutched at by many
hands; for who does not know that she od

will be a bride herself before another
twelvemonth has rolled around ¢

the work neatly; otherwise it will be
