FARM NOTES. —Barn the tent caterpillars with a torch. —You can't cut out pear blight soo quickly. : —Vetch is growing in favor as a plant for green manuring. — Excessive sweating ou the part of the horse is a sign of weakness. —Try chalk and charcoal for lambs esul- fering from acidity of the stomach. —Start with a few sheep and let that | gig few be of the Other kinds don's pay. —Amber, which is nothing but fossilized rosin, is found quite extensively in the island of Santo Domingo. The chief Eaurc- pean source of the product ia Konigsberg, on the Baltic coast. —1It costs more to feed ducklings than ckicks, but the ducklings will grow twice as fast. A duckling of the Pekiu breed should weigh five pounds when 10 weeks old, while a chick will seldom reach two pounds at the same age. —Now and then you will finda fellow who has hogs and cattle by the score in the feed lot who is so tight fisted that he can’t afford to toke the home paper {or his wife and children. As a rule, this kind are likely to be neither good neighbors nor good citizens. —OQOane locality in Indiana derives a hand- some revenue from the culture of pepper- mint, having 1,000 acres devoted to the best. raising of this plant. Another district jast across the line in Michigan is engaged in| the culture of the plant on an even more extensive scale. i —There are two things, among others, that we have never heen able to account for touching the bovine family—why a cow will drink paiot every time she gets a chance and why a calf will chew off and eat a horse’s tail. Any light on these ques- tions will be thankfully received. —Apy soil that will produce ordinary farm crops should produce the small fruits. Work the land deeply by the use of the subsoil plow, and make it reasonably rich by the application of some fertilizer. Make | the soil fine and mellow by repeated har- rowing, and use manures liberally. —When corn is fed to pigs it will bring nearly twice as much as when sold by the bushel. Nothing should be sold off the farm that can be turned into something more valuable, or which can be marketed in a more concentrated form. Itis trans. portation charges that largely reduce the profit. —A gardener who has tested it for three years says that broken pieces of bone are much better than hroken crockery for drain- ing flower pots. The plants appropriate the fertilizing quality of the bones, and make such vigorous growth that the plants in pots supplied with bones can be noticed at once. —It is better to dilate lignid manure with water, for the reason that the water partially prevents loss of ammonia. and also because urine is too strong for ordinary plants. An excellent mode of treating urine, or liquid mavares of avy kind, is to add twice ite balk of water, then add a roand of kainit to four gallons of the mix- tare. —In view of the fact that the shrinkage in the milk flow asa resnit of flies and short feed in August is seldom made up, it is well to lay planus now for a clover pasture or patch of sweet corn to tide the dairy herd over this trying time. Plant the patch as near as possible to the feed lot where the cows can be fed conveniently and abundantly. —No one who desires to protect his crops against insects should object to birds get- ting a small share. A young robin con- sumes 40 per cent. of animal food more than its own weight in 12 hours iv its first stages. A pair of robhins having a nest of oung ones, perform a vast amount of work nD a season, as each pair will sometimes raise two broods. —Tiees, flowers and shrubbery add much to the valne of the house, but itis better not to set ont plants for ornamentation if they are not to be cared for, as a neglected farm is a very unsightly spectacle. A farm surrounded with vines aud flowers will sell when a better farm, but not so well orna-. mented, will not find a purchaser. Paint and whitewash also add largely to the at- tractiveness of a farm. —Canna roots should be kept in the cel- lar. They can stand cold well, provided they are in a dry location, but mcistare will seriously injure them. Pat the roots in the ground after danger of frost is over in the spring. The canva isa beantiful lant, and the more rapid its growth and Dr the plant the betier, hence ihe ground for the roots should be well pre. pared and manure used liberally. —The finest and softest wool is always on the shoulders of sheep. An expert in judging sheep always | at the wool on the shoulders first. Assuming that the wool to be ins is really fine, the shoulders are first examined as a part where the finest wool is to be found, which is taken as-a standard and is compared to the wool from the ribs, the thigh, the ramp and the shoulder parts, and the nearer the wool | china bowls, from the various portions of the animal ap- proaches the on the better. —Several hundred new varieties of straw- berries have been introduced within the past five years, and each bas had its share of praise until the amateur is confused. i ith certain kinds is I | Railute with gerial 3 35 hesavae 2 | fal) half a teaspoonful each of sugar and varieties do not thrive alike under the same | conditions. Some will give better results ' on light soil than ou heavy, some prodace | more runners than others, and some will not thrive except on moist soils. gioner should endeavor to select a variety that has heen tested in his neighborhood with good results. Strawberry plants may be set out in the fall, though the spriog eeason is usually preferred. —Ouoe of the most neglected crops after | the harvest is over is the blackberry. Per- I haps no erop entails =o little labor in pro- | portion to the revenue derived therefrom, yet it will pay to keep the canes free from weeds and grass, and to apply fertilizer as well. Whena on of the canes tained from the remainder if the canes re- ceived good treatment the previous year, but as a rule the canes are left until it be- comes time to cnt them. Many blackberry fields that have borne good crops year after year and then begin to fail and die out are The be- | have | been winter killed a good crop may be ob- | simply yielding to starvation aud neglect. FOR AND ABOUT WOMmEN. DAILY THOUGHT. That best portion is a good man’s life— His little, nameless, uasremembered acts Of kindness and of love. — Wordsworth, To wear with white dresses the embroid- ered belt in heavy white linen is in very general favor. Is laouders as easily as a bandkerchief and is decidedly pleas- Whole question of Oe av portant one w e w frock is worn, and it is not too much to say that its effect may be made or marred by the belt. For white frocks the white kid belts fastened with oxydized or gilt buckles are very pretty, too, as indeed are the magpie-like bands in black and white For rougher and readier wear the favcy leather ones are suitable, and these can be matched to the prevailing color scheme of the gown. Great care shoald be taken in adjusting the belt that it really insures the neatness of the waist, for the band bodice is always more or less of a problems to keep tidy. Some of the high-waisted effects in muslin frocks may be very prettily emphasized by a sofs satin sash—made into a band, not tied —with a bow and very long ends. It buckles are worn they should be very large, and these can be adjusted, be it voted, on silk elastio waisthelts with good effect. With the bolero or Eton coat, a peat waist is de riguer, and this should, with such a style of dress, be one of our first preoccupations. The belt up to date is, however, so wide that it is comparatively easy to confine the skirt satisfactorily under its ample baud. Folded waist-helts of material, un- less made in some very soft fabric, are to be deprecated as clumsy, bat the choice offered us is so wide that it is possible to suit all tastes in this important particular. The average woman prefers to arrange the flowers on ber own table. The greatest mistake which can be made bowever is that of providing no change of vases and flowers during the day ; few things being more out of taste than the practice of ornamenting the breakfast table with the floral arrangements of the pre- ceding night, which alwaye somehow, gives the impression that the cloth, with its wine stains and crumbs, has not heen lifted since it was used for dinner. A separate array of simple glasses or filled with ferns and such flowers as will readily eurvire the night without fading, are the best, few men or maid servants baving sufficient time before breakfast to go over the vases, #0 as to weed out dead flowers. . Fresh flowers—simply arranzed, unless for a party—should always he provided for luncheon, the chief novelties in the matter of arrangement and the best blooms being, of conrse, reserved for dioner-time, where fashion demands a novel scheme each sae- cessive night on which the house party as- sembles. Perbaps there is no more difficult art thao that of arranging the veil, and the | fact that the French woman considers the | time passed in practicing its proper ad. | justment as well spent is probably ove of | the reasons why she excels the women of | every other pation in this matter. This season, however, she bas had every- thing in ber favor, the new veils being cut io such a manner that the difficulties of adjustment over the large cloche bats are redoced to a minimum. The apper patt is carefully carved, the back of the veil being considerably wider than the front, so that there will be no over fullness on crown and brim, aod the fabric will fall into the right folds, the edge just reaching to the shoulders. To put it on in exactly the same manner each time means a long and serious business, many women having it carefully arranged by the milliner in the first instance, and practicing on a spare veil aud hat. Not that a veil is necessary. Indeed, women have never worn fewer veils. It is as well not to blink facts ; black stockings are banished to the farthest outposts of fashion’s realm, and colored ones have arrived instead. They, too, are autocratic, demanding as they do for their completely pretty setting colored footgear, not altogether so Jerbams, but of a color mingled with black. t is why we find black patent leather goloshes with gray, fawn, green, ruby and even purple ‘‘appers’’ worn with hoisery of the tints mentioned. And yet another man- date of the mode: the ‘‘uppers’’ must be jad, of euede or chamois leather, not of a. Now, with the white toilets what colors look well ? I am all for either mahogany or cedar when the wearer is the happy posses- sor of aclear complexion, damask cheeks and bright brown or raddy bair. Itis an uncommon and wonderfully successful amalgamation of charms. Empire green is good, and purple is the most modish shoice of the moment. The white must be pure il violet he its companion, and though ivory and cream ue poturiasible; it in still the really blanche e that with color looks most delight- ful. Cerise, too, is always acceptable at the seaside in the company of white. Gray and white is the favorite excursion into novelty of the ultra-fashionably garb- ed woman at present. I hare left a discus. sion of its charms nutil this jucecture iu order that they may be given their doe emphasis. How to mix Mastard —Hounsewives who do not alteady know of the following way to mix their mustard should try it, and they will be more than pleased with the resnit ; Mix to a thin paste with vinegar ; then add (say to au ordinary mustard pot- salt ; mix well. This greatly adds to the flavor of the mustard. A light dish for au [ovaiid—Take any remains of cold hoiled fowl aud mince ; add two or three tablespooufuis of minced ham ; season with pepper and salt, a little cayenne (if liked), one dessertspoonfal of chopped parsley. Mix with a little white sagee to make it nice and woist, and make 1t very hot. Make son: 10unds of hutter- ed toast and spread tue mixture on, and serve very hot. This is a very suitable dish for an invalid. — For raspberry Jam—Put the fruit into a pau, and broise with back of wooden spoon. When they have come to the boil, let thew continge to simmer for balf an hour. Add then half their weight in sugar, aud after this is melted, boil till jam bas set. Skim carefully, or the jam will pos be olear looking. a EE Sin and Sickness, } If there were no sin there would be no sickness, for sin is the ‘‘transgression of law,” and sickness is the punishment of that transgression. Nature accepts no ex- cuse. She puovishes the malicions law breaker no more barshly than she punishes the little child who breaks the law in ig- voravce. And yet suffering through iguor- auce Is pathetically to the human heart. It is sad to see the young woman suffering in consequence of , her body racked with pain. Dr. Pierce's Fa- te Prescription comes as a God-send to those, who through ignorance, have allow- ed disease to fasten on the delicate woman- ly organs. It alwass helps. It almost always cares.
