FARM NOTES.
—High and gravelly soil is the best for
fruit trees.
—Sheep will fatten faster if kept in rath-
er olose quarters.
—Mutton and wool area good combina-
tion it good sheep are keps.
~—Little lambs should not be allowed to
get the least wet notil the weather becomes
warm.
—A sale rule in sheep management is
pever to keep a worthless sheep or breed a
weakly one.
— After warm weather comes on carrying
their thick fleeces makes a heavy draught
on the system.
—Equal parts of resin and tallow make
an excellent covering for wounds in frais
and other trees.
—The pastures for sheep should be
nutritions and fresh but not too tall. Sheep
like to bite close.
—Ahont the very best way of dealing
with a flock of poor sheep is to sell them
as soon as possible.
—Thirty-four big Kieffer pears were
grown this season on a thirty-inch limb by
Henry Reathje, Berks county, Pa.
— Washington’s apple crop is valued this
year at nine million dollars. It is shipped
to the Atlantic const markets, as well as
abroad.
~The hest cow is the cow which can
make the most batterfat or milk out of a
dollar’s worth of food without impairing
her vital forces.
—Open the cellar window each day, un-
Jess the mercury is about touching zero.
A breath of fresh air is badly needed by
the stuff down there.
—Annually 76,000 barrels, or 7,500,000
pounds of horseradish are shipped from Sr,
Louis to the Atlantio coast, to the Pacifio
ooast, to the lakes and to the Gull.
—Experiments bave proved that a ton of
cowpea hay is worth as muoch for stock
feed as a ton of wheat bran, and even more
if a fair quantity of ripe peas are served
with the bay.
Pigs saffering from scours may be helped
aud many times cured by feeding them a
little boiled milk in which has heen placed
a pint of scorched flour to each gallon of
the boiled milk.
— Pigs are sensitive to cold and the late
litters should he well protected, as also the
early spring pigs. If milk is not plenty,
make a porridge and add to it. Raw meal
is not snitable for young pigs.
—Barnyard manures are as a rule, more
economically nsed when applied to farm
crops than when applied to orchards; yet
they oan be used with good results, partic-
ularly when rejoveanasiog old orchards.
—In digging a round cistern, eight feet
in diameter and 17 feet deep, will hold
two hundred and two barrels of thirty-one
and a balf gallons. If ten feet in diameter
and 11 fees deep, it will hold two hundred
and five barrels.
—Wood ashes are hardly appreciated as
a valuable fertilizer of all kinds of orchards.
It a gallon is placed around the base of each
tree, it will kill and prevent insects of all
kinds and increase the formation and qual-
ity of the fruit.
—Some cows are not good for much ex-
cept to raise calves, The qoantity of milk
is all right, and it seems to fatten calves as
wel! as that which is richer in butter fat.
A poor quality of milk also seems to make
hogs thrive, but it won't make butter.
— Potash is the ohief fertilizer to be ap-
plied to fruit trees, partionlarly after they
come into hearing. Potash may be had in
wood, ashes and muriate of potash. It is
most commoniy used in the latter form.
An unusual application of potash should
be made upon bearing orchards, five hun-
dred pounds to the acre.
—Overfeeding a horse with hay isan au-
kindness. To encourage bair to grow on
places worn bare by harness, wash well
with salt water. The temper of a family
horse in an element that is rarely
given the consideration it merits. Ita value
and usefulness depend as much upon its
mental as upon ite physical condition.
—Experience everywhere teaches that
an orchard will live longer, bear better and
be more profitable for being well cultivat-
ed and enriched. The experiment staticas
bave tried both methods and have collected
opinions from the best fruit growers in
their sections, and the verdiot in almost
every case is that cultivation is vecessary
for healthy trees and first-class fruit.
—There are very few of the common gar-
den flowers which are not greatly bonedlied
by generous fertilizing. For this purpose
nothing is better than well rotted stable
manure, which should be worked into the
80il hefore the plants are set ous. This en-
richment of the bed, coupled with frequent
stirring of the soil ahd plenty of water, is
bound to produce flowers in abundance
and luxariance.
—A number of state legislatures have
recently passed laws making it a criminal
offense to leave samples of patent medicines
io folks’ front yards on doorsteps,
where in many cases which have been re-
ported little children have got hold of them
and died as a result of taking overdoses of
thie medicine. Men distributing this stoff
should be chased off the premises with
shotgun or watchdog.
—We can learn from the Japanese a thing
or two about stabling hcrees. In that conn
try horees are hacked into their stalls; then
a door is closed "at the head, which bas a
grain and bay rack conveniently covstruot-
ed, to which the pag is secured. When
needed, the door is swung back and the
horee led forth. No one gets kicked, no
refuse matter is visible to the visitor, and
it seems to be a sensible way to construct a
place for any horse.
~The Pennsylvania Experiment Station
has issued a bulletin on relative value of
feeding stuffs. It contains the results of
certain feeding stuffs for maintenance and
for fastening determined by means of the
respiration calorimeter. It was foond
that these vaines were decidedly lower
than those computed ascording to current
methode from the amounts of digestible
matter present. Coarse fodders in partion-
lar were found to have a much lower value
for maintenance, as well as for fastening,
than concentrated feeds, the relative values
of the former as compared with the latter
being greatly overestimated in the feeding
tables in common use.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
There is no unbelief ;
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
= Edward Bulwer Lytton
Earrings are of two sorts, the screw and
the drop. Among the laster the loops and
rings of diamonds and pearls that are
copied from old Monarchy pieces.
That collar canvas may not out through
the outer covering it is well to place it be-
tween two thin pieces of lining and stitch
it well on the machine. The outside should
have quarter inch allowed for a turp in and
should be basted smoothly to the stiffening.
Serge the edges closely to the lining. ont-
ting slashes if it appears to diaw. Miter
the corners to get rid of the extra thick-
ness,
In putting the collar to waist attach it
at the middle of the back and keep the
ends even with the front. Hold the neck
band toward you and baste from the inside
stretohing a little at sides if necessary.
Sew firmly hy hand, nsing blind stitches
that will not show from she outside. Ses
the collar well down over the band as
nothing is oglier than to have it slip ap
where it i# fastened.
It is a good idea to line all collars to
frocks with white as it does not discolor
with perspiration nor rab off on the neok.
Besides it shows when it is dirty, which ie
a hint to the careful woman that it needs
obanging. A thin silk that does not cot
easily is hest for this purpose.
The collar lining, like the outside,
shoald be one-quarter inch wider all azound
than the stiffening. It should be basted
carefully aod the upper edge notched in
five or six places so it will not draw on the
curves. Be careful in the hemmiog that
the stiches do not run throogh to the out-
side. Also hesureto hem neatly as too
many amateurs face their collars with dis-
graceful roughness,
In sewing buttons on the every-day
clothes of children it will save the m other
trouble to stay each button in the first
place with a small piece of the material or
with a stout piece of muslin if the garment
is not an outer one. Cut little squares
just about the size of the button, put it on
the inside of the spot where the button is
to go ;take the stitches through it and
then hem down the edges all around so
they will not fray.
It i= always better to make a stem in
sewing on a button as if it issewed tightly
it will more easily tear ont the material.
Take loose stitches and then wind them on
the right side with the thread, four or five
times.
The travsparent yoke is worn almost
aniversally in all dressy frocks, made eith-
er of lace or net.
When the former is used it is apt to be
too transparent, also rather barsh-looking
if it is unlined.
Usually this lining is of white chiffon or
mounsseline even for black lace.
A much softer and more becoming effect
can be secured, however, if the yoke of
black open lace is first lined with black
chiffon, with white chiffon beneath it.
This method of lining is particularly de-
sirable for a blouse that is to be worn to
church or other place where a too open
yoke is unsuitable.
To press seams open, lay the right side
of the material next the hoard and open
the seam. Run a thimble filled with water
up and down allowing a small quantity of
water to remain all along the seam. Some
women prefer to use aspoon to dampen the
material.
Have a moderately hot iron, #0 as not to
scorch the material ; and it is all-import-
ant that the seams should be ironed outi)
perfectly dry.
Do not stretch the material, bat bold the
seam that is being pressed so that there
will be no danger of being puckered.
All the new corsets are long, olose-hip
sheaths, and the number of stocking sup-
porters attached has increased to four, six,
and in some cases to seven, pairs, attached
at intervals all around the corset.
The newest corset form to be introduced
this year is that having the front lacings
instead of the ordinary steels.
Like all the new types, itis very long,
and has what bas been called the sculp-
tared haok.
The long corsets are especially necessary
to meet the requirements of the extreme
styles in dress waists which are now being
developed.
All eall for smooth, tightly worn and
fisted underwear.
Practically all the new corsets are pro-
vided with twelve-inch steels, which means
that they are a great deal higher iu the
boss than formerly.
For hoys from 12 to 16 there are the long
overcoats reaching below the knee, made
¥p in rough plaid material of mixed wor-
Moat of these are double hreasted, but
there is an attractive new model in the
single: breasted style.
The three buttons that fasten this coat
down the front are not concealed by the
usual ‘‘fly-piece,’”’ containing the buiton-
holes. but they fasten throogh to button.
holes made in the other side of the coat.
The pockets at the side have an upward
slant and the turned-back oofls are sewed
flat to the sleeves.
With the Norfolk jackets the jookey cap
is worn, but when it comes to the long
coat, like the one described above, a round
soft felt seems more fitting.
For fruit punch make a syrup by boiling

sugar 20 minutes. Separate 12 sprigs of
fresh mint in piece, add one and a hall

Largest Soda Fountain.
New York now boasts the largest soda
water fountain in the world—on Thirty-
fourth street. It cost $30,000, she highest
price ever paid, and, with its onyx strue-
ture, hronze figures and Italian paintings,
is declared to he the most beautiful ever
construnted. The capacity of the fountain
calls for the daily consumption of 8,000
| pounds of ice, 540 pounds of sugar, thirty
pounds of chocolate, forty gallons of erush-
ed fruit, 720 lemons, 300 oranges, 2,700
eggs, 360 quarts of milk, 240 quarts of
cream, eighty pounds of walnuts, twelve
gallons of cherries, 200 limes, rixty gal-
lons of fruit syrops, 250 gallons of ice
cream, and 350 gallons of plain soda. The
fountain is of onyx, pavauazzo marble, and
solid bronze, filsy fees long, and is support-
ed by twenty-eight columns of solid marble
and onyx six to eight inches in diameter.
The columns are four to six feet in height.
Three oil paintings ornament the back, the
centre one showing a group of dancing girls
and the other two portraying scenes in an
Italian garden. Other ornaments are two
bronze figures 4} feet high on onyx pedes-
tale. At the back are heavily plated mir-
rors. The front of the fountain is of pava-
nazzo marble of rare and beautiful design,
the edges being brought together to form
namerous fantastic figuves. The pilasters
on the front are of Brazilian obyx with
solid bronze caps and bases. The counter
tops are of onyx joined to a four-inch hand
rail, which rests solidly against the counter
jand leaves no apertare for the possible
spilling of liguids.
The fountain iwelf has eight separate de-
partments, where eight dispensers will be
occupied at one time. The fifty syrup wells
are of porcelain, and the plunger or disk of
the pump for each is of solid silver, so that
uo syrup comes in contact with any base or
corroding metal —Shop Talk.
Pimples
Are looked upon generally only as an
annoying disfigniement, something to be
got rid of in some way as speedily as possi-
ble. But the pimple is only a symptom,
and though the symptom he suppressed the
disease is aoaflected. Pimples, blotches,
eruptions, are the signs of bad blood.
Make the blood pare and the pimples will
go away and the skin become clear and
smooth. The blood can be cleansed per-
fectly by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. It pushes out of the
body the waste matter which corrupts the
blood. [It increases the blood supply, and
enriches every vein with a full flow of rich,
pure blood. When the blood 1s pure the
skin diseases, which are cansed by impure
blood, are opaturally aod permanently
cured.
