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,

—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.

that has heen tested in his neighborhood
with good results. Strawberry plants may
be set out in the fall, though the spriog

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.

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.
