FARM NOTES.
—Land plaster is not a fertilizer, but
will liberate potash, and shows a marked
benefis on clay and sandy land to clover.
—There isa widely prevalent notion
that a bog, being fat, peeds no
tion from biting cold and high oo bat
that sort of an argument is never put up
to a fat man.
—If you are nol getting your lambs
early to market this year, resolve todo
better next season. Iicosts no more to
ace a lamb that will sell for a fancy
price, than it does to raise the other kind.
—Wyoming experiments in preserving
fence posts show that when the posts were
dipped in erode petroleum and baroed off
so that the char comes above the ground
when posts are set, they will keep indefi-
nitely.
—Beeswax is voluntarily formed inside
the body of the working bee from flaid
honey and pollen. The wax leaves the
secreting glands in a liquid state, and
solidifies 1n small, transparent scales. The
pollen used by the bee gives the wax its
distinctive color.
—The cow’s body is warmed by the food
it consumes, and if through exposure to
cold or rain the temperature of the body is
rednoed, more food is required to keep up
the inside warmth, and if the demand for
food fnel is kept up, little or none is left
for milk production.
—-It is sometimes inconvenient to clean
the horees when one comes home tired
from a drive over the muddy or snow-
covered roads, but it pays to do it, nob
only on the principle that the mercifal
man is mercifal to his beast, but on the
score of health as well.
—Clovers differ greatly as to theirability
to live with water at their roots. Thus the
red varieties must be grown on land where
water does not stand. A large proportion
of the failures in getting catohes of clover
are doubtless due to the sowing of the seed
on poorly-drained land.
—Where the red clover is wanted, and
the land is wet, the only thing to do is to
drain it, so that the land will dry out well
in the spring and get warm quickly, and
so that it will remain warm until late in
the fall. Cold land is not suitable to the
growing of mediom and red clover.
—A buff Orphington hen owned by G.
G. Shoemaker, of York, Pa., was recently
sold to A. J Cheek, of Henderson, N. C.
for $400. The fowl took the frst prize at
Madison Shuare Garden, and is considered
one of the most perfect of her kind in the
world. The hen weighs four pounds, 80
she cost the purchaser was $100 a pound.
—The one or two nails in time may save
your horse from a bad sprain.
Give your stock a *quare deal by giving
it a sqnare meal at feed time.
Assoon think of leaving home without
your overcoatas withouta good, warm
blanket for your horse. The one is ae im-
portant as the other.
—Some onion growers olaim that ocar-
bolic acid emulsion often gives satisfactory
results in combating the onion maggot.
Dissolve one pound hard soap or one quart
sofs soap in a gallon of boiling water ; add
one pint of orude carholio acid, and emal-
sify by agitation. One part emulsion is
used to 30 parts of water applied at the
root.
—]t is seldom that a farmer can acoumu-
late a sufficient amount of wood ashes for a
large field, but on farms where wood is
used there is a limited supply which can
be pat to good use on the garden or on the
youug clover. Ashes are excellent also on
all grass lands and in orchards. They are
applied broadcast in any quantity desired,
as many as 100 bushels per acre having
been used on certain soils.
—The Arizona Station has recorded the
results of a cold rain on the flow of milk of
the station herd. The cows were exposed
for three days to a cold rain. Daring this
time the herd decreased 37 cent. in
milk yield and continued until it reached
50 per cent. aud it was a month until the
cows gave as much milk as before the
storm. ‘This is what might be called a
cash illastration of the value of sheltering
cows from cold rains.
— Every bead of clover consists of about
60 lower tubes, each of which contains an
infinitesimal quantity of sugar. Bees will
often visit a hoodred different heads of clo-
ver before retiring to the hive, and in or-
der to obtain the su .ar necessary for a load
must, therefore, thrust their tongues into
about 6000 different flowers. A bee will
make twenty trips a day when the clover
patch is convenient to the hive, and thus
draw sugar from 120,000 different flowers
in a single day’s work.
—Never allow the sheep to run in the
same yard with the cows.
Sheep are timid aod
may easily be injured.
One of the moss important things in
making the sheep business profitable is
care. -
Sheep feel neglect, and there is always
failure where they are kept in ashiftless,
careless way.
A small flock is a valuable investment
for every farmer
—When a young calf is taken from ite
daw there is more or less difficulty in raie-
ing it. Some mistakes are usually made,
the result being scours. The natural food
of the call is fresh, warm milk, and the
milk given it after it ie parted from the
cow shouid also be fresh and warm. If
skim milk is used there will be a lack of
cream, which is important so far as the
welfare of the calf is concerned. One who
has been successful adds a raw exg, well
shaken, with the milk, at each meal. Flax:
seed meal, cooked until a jelly is formed,
may be used with the milk, a gill at each
meal being sufficient at first. Do not over
feed, but give a little milk at a time and
often, at a temperatare of 95 degrees.
—Cow manure, although the least con-
centrated and most watery of all farm ma-
nares, is she backbone of farm fertility on
account of its quality. When mixed with
horse manare, it makes what is commonly
called barnyard manure, which is well
for most crops. When kept by it-
sell without plenty of litter there is danger
that the liquid part of the cow manure
will leach away. A common practice is to
throw the two kinds of manure together in
the gutter hehind the cows, thus aheorhing
the ligaid at once. Where many cows and
but few horses are kept, leaves and other
refuse mast be used quite freely uoder the
cows to secure manure easily managed,
abundant and of good quality. The liquid
part is half the farm fersilisy.

A JUBILEE JOKE.
a—
Lady Churchill's Bustle That Played
“God Save the Queen.”
Everything that year (Queen Victo-
ria’s jubllee year) was dubbed “jubi-
lee,” from knights and bables to hats
and coats. “God Save the Queen” was
heard ad nauseam on every conceiva- |
ble occasion until the tune became
an obsession. This led to a practical
joke at the castle which caused much
amusement. One morning, speaking
of the jubilee craze, 1 pretended that
had received as an advertisement a
“jubilee bustle,” which would play
“God Save the Queen” when the wear-
er sat down. This, of course, created
much curiosity and laughter. Having
promised to put it on, 1 took my hosts
into my confidence. An aid-de-camp
was pressed into the service and armed
with a small musical box was made to
hide under a particular armchair.
While the company was at luncheon |
retired to don the so called “jubilee
wonder,” and when they were all as-
sembled I marched in solemnly amd
slowly sat down on the armchair
where the poor aid-de-camp was hiding
his cramped limbs. To the delight and
astonishment of every one the national
anthem was heard gently tinkling
forth. Every time 1 rose it stopped;
every time 1 sat down it began again.
I still laugh when | think of it and of
the astonished faces about me.—"*Rem-
iniscences of Lady Randolph Church-
ill” in Century.
A GREAT STATESMAN.
Humorous Incident of Gladstone's Ri-
valry With Disraeli.
An anecdote of Gladstone at the time
of his greatest rivalry with Disraeli is
often retold. At a dinner party the
subject of Judaism cropped up.
“Admitted,” said Gladstone. “that
the Hebrews have given the world a
philosopher in Spinoza, musicians in
Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, a poet in
Heine. the fact remains that they
have not produced a single statesman.”
Tiuere was silence for a moment. Ev-
ery one knew of course that this was
a direct allusion to Disraeli. Then one
of the company stepped Into the
breach.
“Mr. Gladstone,” he said, “as a mat-
ter of fact the Hebrews have produced
a statesman and one of the greatest
the world has seen.”
The fighting instinct of Mr. Glad-
stone surged up at once. “May 1 ask,
sir.” he said pointedly, “who was this
Hebrew statesman?”
Every one, anticipating a more than
lively scene, waited In tense expecta-
tion for the answer. It came In the
quietest tones, ‘‘Moses, sir.” Every
one smiled, and Mr. Gladstone joined
{no the laugh.— Vienna Welt.
A Jewel Beyond Price.
Many years ago a Norwegian was
taken to a big London hospital suffer-
fng from an illness which prevented
him from earning his living. Sir Fred-
erick Treves operated upon him and
completely cured him of his trouble.
Some weeks afterward the man called
upon Sir Frederick at his private house,
and. much to his surprise. presented
him with a coin. At first Sir Frederick
refused to take it. but the man would
not be put off.
“1t is now three years since 1 left my
native land.” he said. “and before 1
came away my wife gave me this coin
and told me never to part with it un-
less 1 was starving. [It is not worth
anything, but the value to me 1 cannot
express. When I was in the hospital I
made up my mind that you should
have it. Since you cured me 1 have
been starving, but 1 would not part
with the coin because 1 wanted you to
have it as a small return for saving my
life.”
“What magnificent piece of jewelry,”
gald Sir Frederick when he told the
story, “could equal the value of that
coin?"—London M. A. P.
The Attraction of Chess Problems.
The mere player who has never ex-
perienced the magnetic attraction of
problems cannot fully realize the feel-
ing of joy and satisfaction from solv-
ing some masterpiece, the work of a
famous composer. There can be no
doubt that solving problems, especially
from diagrams, is an intellectual
amusement and that the study of prob-
lems tends to accuracy of analysis,
quickens the perception and strength-
ens the chess faculties generally and
may occasionally impart some of those
sparkling ideas which are so sadly
needed in ordinary play.—Strand Mag-
Riot of Joy Proffered.
A tramp applied for help at a house
in the country. The kind hearted mis-
tress made it a rule never to turn any
away empty handed.
“Here's a dime for you, my man.”
she said. “I'm mot giving it to you for
charity's sake, but merely because it
pleases me.”
“Thankee,” said the man, “but
couldn't you make it a quarter and en-
joy yourself thoroughly. mum "—Phila-
delphia Ledger.
Gloomy Hamlet.
“J went to the theater last night.”
“What did you see?”
“A play called ‘Hamlet.’ ”
“How was it?”
“Fair, only fair. A good, lively sex-
tet would do it a world of good.”—
Louisville Courier-Journal.
An Edsy Trick.
“My wife can tell what time it is in
the middle of the night when it is
pitch dark.”
“How does she do it?”
“She makes me get up and look at
the clock.”—London Fun.
Every one desires to live long, but no
one would be old.—Swift.
A BORN SOLDIER.
Major General Stuart, the Dashing
Cavalry Leader.
Major General J. E. B. Stuart of the
Confederate cavalry was a soldier by
nature. Dashing and daring. cool in
the face of danger, he was one of the
brave and picturesque figures of the
i elvil war,
“Life and Campaigns of Major General
Stuart” from General Fitz-Hugh Lee's
impression of the future cavalry lead-
er while he was still at West Point:
“1 recall his distinguishing charac-
teristics, which were strict attention to
military duty; erect, soldierly bearing:
immediate and almost thankful accept-
ance of a challenge to fight from any
cadet who might feel himself in any
way aggrieved and a clear, ringing
voice.”
Stuart was a most cheerful soldier.
That “clear” voice of his was often
used in singing his favorite war song:
If you want to have a good time,
Jine the cavalry.
His courageous attitude was held
until the very end. He was wounded
by a pistol on the battlefield. As he
was being carried away he noticed the
disorganized ranks of his retreating
men.
“Go back!” he called out. “Go back!
Do your duty as 1 have done mine!
Go back! 1'd rather die than be whip-
"wr
Those were his last words on the
field of battle. Later he said. with the
same courage:
“I'm going fast now. God's will be
done.”

Take Your Bearings.
It you are suffering {rom “weak lungs’
obstinate cough, bleeding at the longs,
with attendant emaciation and night
sweats, every day sees yon either a step
farther from health or a step nearer. Which
is it in your case? There is no standing
still. Are you moving hackwards or for-
wards ?
Those who try Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi-
cal Discovery for ‘weak’ or bleeding longs
will be able to take their bearings ac-
curately. They will find themselves tak-
ing a step toward health with every dose
of the medicine. Nothing gives the sick
so much confidence to persist with this
great remedy as the fact that they are cer-
tainly growing better every day.
