    FARM NOTES.
—A sick hog most never be overled.
Very often hunger is a tonie for it.
—The more sunlight that can be gotten
in the stable, the less opportunity for dis-
ease germs to get there.
—1Is is a good plan to dig a deep hole in
the rear of the farm and use it as a re-
ceptacle for tin cans and rubbish.
—Matare hogs thin in flesh may be ex
to gain about ove-balt pound per
head daily on alfalla without grain.
—The refuse from cornstalks that bave
been shredded as food for cattle, together
with out straw, makes good bedding for the
cow.
—It is a mistake to cut out the morn:
ing milking during the time of scans pro-
duction, as some farmers are often known
to do.
—It is juss as important to pat the pig
on pasture a portion of the year as it is to
s the cow there, and good pasture for
ol is the only kind that pays.
—The Forest Co-operative Fruit Grow-
ers’ Association, of Cavada, has 75 mem-
bers, all of whom bave agreed to prune
thoroughly and spray three times.
—Professor H. A. Surface, of The Penn-
sylvania State Experiment Station, says
the use of pure white lead and linseed oil
for borers and mice will not injure the
trees,
—Poorly fed hens have no oversupply of
beat aud material for egg making, so he
that throweth food to his hens sparingly
will reap sparingly in profits from the egg
basket.
—A few hens with space sufficient to
move about and flap their wings, will lay
more than will twice that number
with poor accommodations, be they ever so
well fed.
—When onltivating the plum or cherry
orchard, the work muss be done shallow so
that no roots will be broken, for broken
roots will send up shoots that sap the life
from the tree.
—Co-operative packing and market en-
able the fruit growers not only to secure
better prices, but to produce a better pro-
duot, a= he can give his entire attention to
growing fruit.
—All kinde of poultry delight in work-
ing over newly plowed ground for insects.
The number insects destroyed in one
day by a large flock of fowls cannot be
easily estimated.
— Angora goats are used for clearing off
anderbrush from lands that could not easily
be oleared without their aid. They prefer
the bark and twigs of small trees and brush
to the best grasses.
—Work the horses a little each day, if
ible. Where they have been standing
on the stables the greater portion of the
time in winter they should be gradually
bardened to full work.
—The total of all animals on the farms
ennmerated on January 1st, 1908, was §4,-
331,230,000, as compared with $4 423,698.
000 on January 1st, 1907 ; a decrease of
$92,468,000, or 2.1 per cent.
—In combating glanders the general
ioe in to destroy horses which are posi-
tively known to be affected with the dis-
ease and to quarantine those which are
merely suspected of being affected.
—The first rule for getting a good profit
from poultry is to get the chicks hatohed
early, and the next is to keep those chicks
growing so fast that they will reach laying
maturity before the commencement of cold
weather.
—There is no difference in the color of
the yolk of the eggs laid by different breeds,
nor individuality. Bat the color of the
shell is a matter of breed and mating, and
the color of the yolk is governed by the
food given.
—In matter of prices (average per head),
compared with January 1s, 1907, in horses
there was a decrease of 10 cents ; mules,
$4.40; miloh cows, 33 cents; other cattle,
21 cents; swine, $1.57, and sheep have io-
oreased 4 cents.
—Compared with statistios of a year ago,
in nambers, horses have inor 245.000;
males, 52,000; miloh cows, 226,000; sheep,
1,391,000 ; swine, 1,290,000, and cattle,
other than miloh cows, have deoreased in
number, 1,493,000.
—It is claimed that the most profitable
lite of the peach tree is from four to eight
years. From a peach census taken last
year in Orange county, New York, it seems
that shoroagh culsivation ie more essential
thao either pruning or spraying.
—M Is grown continuously on the
same land for four years yielded 9.6 tons of
roots, containing one ton of dry matter.
while on land under rotati n they yielded
34 tons of roots and four tons of dry matter
per acre at the New York Cornell Exper-
iment Station. From 25,000 so 30,000
plants of mangels, ratabagas and hybrid
surnips, and from 40,000 to 60,000 plants
of carrots, per acre, are suggested as proper
stands.
—The department of agrioultare has
been conducting a series of experiments to
test the value of cover crops in inoreasing
the hardiness of yonng trees, with results
Yuryivg according to climate and condi-
tions of weather. In Nebraska cover crops
were found decidedly beneficial, while in
North Dakota they proved very harmful.
So it would seem that orchard-growers will
be left to their own devices according to
oconditione in their sections.
—A French authority, who nade com-
prehensive experiments in feeding horses
by weight (his operations including 30,000
animals), ascertained that it required a
roand 4} pounds of mixed food, bay and
grain for every 220 pounds of live weight.
In the ratio of two poande of grain aud one
pound of hay for 100 pounds of live weighs,
a hofse weighing 1000 pounds would re-
quire 20 pounds of grain and 10 poands of
hay for stationary maintenance when re-
quiring regular service.
—As said before, the plat selected for
the garden should be well drained. If is
is not naturally drained, it should be tile
drained, ditoh drained or surface drained.
If the ground is very wet the plat should
be tile drained, or at least ditch drained.
This may be done by cutting enough ditches
through the plat to remove the surface wa-
ter. Surface draining may be done by ele-
vating the beds enongh to carry off the wa-
ter through the walks. This should not
be done unless there is very much water
standing on the plat.
“Rconse, or lob scouse, a parson's
face sea pie, junk, tack, slush and duft
—ihere's a meal ye can't beat no
wheres,” said the sailor.
“yes” he went on, “ye can talk
about yer ris de vean, yer vol au vent,
yer mouses and other French dishes,
but they ain't none o' them io it with
sea fare dished up by a good sea law-
yer.
“Scouse is soup, soup made o' salt
beef. Add some good sea vegetables
to it, sitch as spud sprouts and split
peas, and ye get an extra fine soup,
what is gener'ly called lob scouse. Pot
au feu Is slops beside a rich lob scouse.
“Folier up yer scouse with a parson’s
face sea pie. That's a ple made of bul-
lock’s head. Good? Why, friend,
there ain't nothin’ like it on earth.
«Junk is salt beef. Junk ain't no
brain food. It don’t strengthen the
mind like a correspondence course, but,
by tar, I'd ruther have it than caneton
a la presse or a supreme de sole,
“Tack and slush is the sailor's bread
and butter. What if ye do have to
break yer tack with a tack hammer,
and what if yer slush is sometimes
strong enough to queer the compass?
Sailors need strong food, for they must
do their work.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Little Card Trick.
A Russian priest was so devoted to
the amusement of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
fore commencing the church services.
On one occasion, having a particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re
turn and finish the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor, to the extreme
scandal of the congregation. The wit-
ty priest, however, was fully equal to
the occasion. At the conclusion of the
service he beckoned up one of the
choristers and asked him the names ot
several of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name of the next
saint's day, which the child could not
tell.
“See!” cried the priest, turning to
the congregation. “You teach your
children the names of every card in
the pack and leave them ignorant of
their religion. Let this be the last
time 1 am compelled to bring playing
cards into the church to shame you.”
And picking up his hand he made an
honorable retreat.—London Answers.
A Bad Break.
“It beats the Dutch,” said a young
broker, “how much trouble a fellows
wife's most charming girl friend can
make for a fellow—or for a fellow’s
wife.” Then he explained what ap-
peared to be greatly in need of ex-
planation. “1 went home for dinnet
the other night,” he continued, “with
a friend who was married recently.
The wife's old chum was there and
met the husband for the first time.
“ ‘Really,’ she said on presentation,
‘I quite feel that 1 bave Enown you.
You see, that plcture of yours in foot-
ball costume that Jennie always kept
on her dresser so long was very fa-
miliar to me.’
“Say, you ought to have seen the
face of that friend of mine. But he
finally found his voice.
“But, my dear Miss Smith,’ he re-
plied, ‘1 never was a football player
and never had on a football costume.’
“Then you should have seen Miss
Smith's face.”—New York Globe.
Animals Are Not Proud.
Professor Schuster asserts that ani
mals lack moral feeling entirely, none
of their acts being immoral or moral in
the broad sense, and that they have no
trace of a sense of shame or of honor.
Their courage. he declares, Is “a mere
impulse of nature,” and of moral cour
age they know nothing. He continues:
“And animals have no pride in the
gense of man’s conception of that qual-
ity. They are not proud of their kind,
of their kindred, of their individuality.
They neither have an individuality nor
are individual. Animals are not proud
because they have no consciousness of
the scope of the value of their kind, of
their enterprise or of any other form
of thelr capability. They are neither
supercilions, proud nor the contrary—
that is, grieved, wounded or depressed
in regard to a possible pride.”
Where Beggars Have Trades Unions.
Begging is a vocation in China and
beggary an institution. In every prov-
fnce there is an organized beggars’
trade union or guild—in some districts
several. These guilds have presidents
and officials and are in every respect
thoroughly well organized. There is
a membership fee of about $4, and all
members swear to abide by the rules.
The chiefs, or “kings. as they are
called, are under the protection of the
magistrates, and their power is con-
glderable.— Wide World Magazine.
The Age of Artificial Beauty.
Writers on topics concerning woia-
en’s matters would fain have us be
lieve that the present is the &ge of
peauty. The fact is that never before
have the arts of artificiality been so
widely adopted among all classes as
they are today.—London Opinion.
Has to Take Them.
“l can take 100 words a minute,”
sald one shorthand writer to another.
“] often take more than that,” re
marked the other In sorrowful accents,
“put then I have to. I'm married.”
Worth Two Men.
#Y.en made the glee cinb.”
“Why, his voice is cracked.”
“I know, but it spill : the other night,
and he's singing duets now.”—Yale

Hindu Caste Murks
The caste marks worn by wemen iz India | =
are confined to the forehead, and are more
uniform than those affected hy the meu.
The orthodox mark invariably worn on
religions and ceremonial occasions is a
«mall saffron spot in the center of the fore
head. Bat the more popular and fashion-
able mark is a tiny one wade with a glue
like substance, usually jes-hlack in color,
which is obtained by frying sago till it gets
chaired and then boiling it in water.
Women who bave not reached their twen-
ties are sometimes partial to the use of
small tinsel discs, purchasable in the bazaar
at the rate of about half a dozen for a pie.
To attach these to the skin, the cow-
monest material used is she gum of the
| jack trait, quantities of which will be found
sticking to a wall or pillar in the house,
ready for immediate use.
In the more orthodox families it is cov-
sidered objectionable that the forehead of a
woman shonld remain blank even fora
moment, and, ascordingly, it is prrmanent-
ly marked with a tattooed vertical live.
The blister takes a fortnight to heal, but
the Hindn woman, who is nothing if nota
martyr by temperament and training, sul-
fers the pain uncomplainingly.
——
Fetichism marks she lowest point of a
gross and degraded superstition. It belongs
to savages and not to civilized people. Yes
there are sooial fetiches to which mothers
sacrifice their danghters in this enlighten-
ed land. And these sacrifices are uo less
horrible thau those of the degraded African
who throws his writhing child into the fire.
The name of the great social fetich is Ig-
aorance. Mothers see their daughters
“standing with reluctant fees where wom-
anhood and girlhood meet.’ see them take
the step heyond and assume the stupen-
dous responsibilities involved in marriage
and motherhood, and yet they say no word
of warning or enlightenment as to the
great physicial change which marriage
brings to women. For those who have
suffered through ignorance, aud have allow-
ed disease to develop in the delicate organs,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a true
minister of mercy. Itstops draivs, heals
aloeration aud inflammations, cures bear-
ing down pains, makes weak women strong
and sick women well.
