FARM NOTES.
—Transplanted lettuce grows larger
than that which remains where it was
sown,
is used in cleaning the harness
before oiling, sod should never take the
place of oil.
—Fall-bearing varieties of strawberries
may be set out in May, and will make a
good growth the first year.
—Hogs should be greased Jrequentl) to
keep them free from lice. Warm a little
kerosene and lard together and rub along
the backs of the swine while shey are feed-
ing.
—For early pigs the sows should be bred
from May 10 to 30th. If bred before that
time they will farrow in the bot weather
in the latter pars of August or the fires of
September.
—Tar paper placed around cabbage sod
tomato plants will keep off out worms. In-
sert the paper in the ground, making a
oirole about four inohes in diameter and
three inches deep.
~The sheep stables should be cleaned
out at least once a month, If the manure
is allowed to remain too long it begins to
give off ammonia and other fou! gasee
whioh injure the sheep.
—Use sifted coal ashes instead of plaster
for striped squash bug. They are cheap,
easily handled, and are nod jurions 50
tender foliage, though applied in large
quantity when the dew is upon it.
—The Caunlifiower Association of Long
Island, last year shipped 137,000 barrels of
cauliflower. A large increase over the
year before. This gave she growers of two
Sowss upwards of $200,000 for the crop
one.
—Oklahoma agriculturists bave gotten
sired of Johnson grass. The Governor has
approved a bill which makes ita mis-
demeanor to sow it and to sell bay or grain
containing it without informing the
purchaser.
—The following is highly recommended
for gooseberry and currant worms : One
ounce of white hellebore, disolved in three
gslions of water, applied to the bushes
with a sprayer. Repeat weekly until the
pests disappear.
—Commercial fertilizers do not perma-
ently henefit the land. They have their
legitimate uses in helping to produce larger
orops, but they do not make the laud any
richer. They should be used in conneo-
tion with other manures.
—Beets will grow well on any kind of
20il except a hard compact olay. The ideal
soil is a mellow, moist one, preferably a
sandy loam. Well-rotted manure should
be applied to the poorer soils, the amount
depending on the condition of the soil.
—Only tin milk pails should be used.
The seams should be soldered smooth, so
that there will be no place for she dirt to
oolleot where the washing brush cannot
reach it. Enough bacteria can collect in
one open seam to contaminate a whole
barrel of milk.
—About the number of plants that can
be produced from one ounce of seed is as
follows : Asparagus, 500 ; Broccoli, 2000 ;
cabbage, 2000 ; cauliflower, 2000 ; celery,
3000 ; egg plant, 1000 ; endive. 3000 ; kale,
2000 ; leek, 1000 ; lettuce, 3000 ; pepper,
2000 ; tomato, 3000 ; sage, 1000 ; thyme,
—]If the colt or horse but a small
oantivy of thick urine give this medicine:
wo drams fluid extract buchu, two drams
powdered rosin and one-balf ounce ground
ginger, 1n feed, three times a day for a few
days, shen as often as necessary. Apply
warm oloths to back occasionally. Keep
the howels open.
—A dairyman gives this remedy for
white scours : Carbolio acid diluted 105 ;
‘kept a vial in my pooket and just as soon
as the call was d I poured some on
the naval next to body and some on the
nose and every calf shat I got to before dry
I raised, but when dropped in the night and
the cow licked dry before I got to them
they died.”
—Making every hill contain at least two
stalks, and each etalk contain at least
one average nize ear, is the seores of sncoes-
ful corn-raising. As soon as the corn is an
inch high, ant every hill that contains
no plants. While this may be a little later
than the first planting, and some may not
get ous of the way of frost, it will make
good cattle feed if nothing more.
—The apple trees should be sprayed for
codling moth as soon as the blooms bave
fallen. For this the Colorado Experiment
Station says areenate of lead, or Disparene,
should be used in the proportion of 3 to 6
pounds to 100 gallons of water. The
merits of this are—it will not in-
jue foliage and it adberes better to the
oliage than other . The second
application sbould be made from 7 to 10
days later.
Rheumatism caused by inclement weath-
er or damp quarters, may be successfully
treated by bathing she parts in a liniment
composed of ts of turpentine, 3 ounces;
tincture of helladonna, 3 ounces, and sino:
ture of iodine, 2 ounces ; mixed and shaken
well before using. Also give one of the
following powders in ite feed three times a
: late of sods, 1} ounces ; hi-
carhonate of sods, 3 oupoes ; pulverized
nux vomics, 1} ounces ; pulverized ool-
chioum, 1 ounce ; mix make into 24
powders.

The Choice.
A young man stou | before the mirror
completing the finishing touches to a
toilet of which he felt justly proud.
He was going to call upon the girl's
widowed mother to ask for her daugh-
ter's hand in marriage.
At last everything was complete ex-
cept his cravat Before him on the
dressing table spread the two cravats
between which his choice rested, one, a
peat black with a narrow white stripe,
which he had bought himself; the oth-
er a cravat which the girl had given
him for a present. a tie such as only
women purchase.
«If | wear the black and white one.
I'll look my best.” he mused. “On the
other hand. if I wear the one she gave
me I'll please her immensely, but will
look like a fright.”
Then he whistled, walked around the
room and carefully tied his cravat
The mother sald, “Yes” although
there were tears in her eyes, and the
girl thought he was the handsomest
and best dressed man in the world.
Which cravat did be wear?—Bohe
mian Magazine.
In the Ghost Laying Business.
This advertisement appeared in Lon-
don In 1777:
«Haunted Houses.—Whereas there
are mansions and castles in England
and Wales which for many years have
been uninhabited and are now falling
into decay by their being haunted and
visited by evil spirits or the spirits of
those who for unknown reasons are
rendered miserable even in the grave,
a gentleman who has made the tour of
Europe, of a particular turn of mind
and deeply skilled in the abstruse and
sacred science of exorcism, hereby of-
fers his assistance to any owner or
proprietor of such premises and under
takes to render the same free from
the visitation of such spirits, be their
cause what it may, and render them
tenantable and useful to the proprie-
tors. Letters addressed to the Rev.
John Jones, 30 St. Martin's lane, duly
answered and interview given if re-
quired. N. B.—Rooms rendered habit.
able in six days.”
Durability of Glass.
It does not seem odd to find inserip-
tions written ages ago still visible on
the Tower of London or on the steeple
of some cathedral, but one would hard-
ly look on a fragile pane of glass in a
common window for characters 200
years old. A notable case In point is
that of the old house in London where-
in the notorious Jack Sheppard once
lived as a carpenter's apprentice. One
of the window panes still bears an in-
scription cut in it by a glazier’s dia-
mond recording the name and address
of a man who preceded Jack's master
in that house.
The Inscription Is, “John Woolley
Brand, Painter and Glazier, March 12,
1706.”
That was nine years before the com-
ing to the house of the famous Jack
Sheppard and over 200 years ago.
Alexander the Great's Escape.
As a young man Alexander the
Great escaped death in a curious man-
per. A great banquet was being held
at Pella, the capital of Macedonia, at
which were present the future con-
queror of the world and his father,
Philip. During the feast one of the
guests proposed a toast and prayer of-
fensive to Alexander, who hurled a
goblet at him. King Philip, angry at
this outrage. started up, drew his
sword and rushed furiously upon his
son. but he had drunk so deeply that
before he reached him he fell prostrate
among the terrified merrymakers. Not
a whit perturbed at this extraordinary
escape from death, Alexander retorted,
“Here is a man preparing to cross from
Europe into Asia who yet cannot step
surely from one couch to another.”
London's First Pawnbroker.
No one would guess that “uncle” bad
so illustrious an ancestor as a right
reverend prelate, yet this seems to be
so. for pawnbroking was first intro-
duced Into England by Michael de
Northburg, bishop of London, in Ed- | man
ward [11's reign. He set up an estab-
lishment for lending money to the poor-
er Londoners on portable property. and,
according to Dugdale, if any sum 80
borrowed was not paid at the expira-
tion of a year the preacher at St. Paul's
cross was to announce that the pledge
would be sold in fourteen days unless
it was previously redeemed.—Pearson's
Weekly.

The Servant.
“Remember,” said the patriot, “that
so long as you hold public office you
are a servant of the people, a plain
servant.”
“Great Scott!” answered the subur-
ban resident who bad just been elect
ed. “Can I act as haughty and over
bearing and take as many holidays as
all that?’—Washington Star.
Hard.
“Pa, is it true that all men are made
of dust?’
“I've had reason to think lately,” re-
plied the man who bad been trying to
get his notes extended, “that a good
many of them are made of cement.”—
Chicago Record-Herald.
Women as Dramatists.
I have yet to see a woman's play in
which the male characters shall seem
real and vital. As portrayers of a sex
not their own, men have a decided ad-
vantage over women.—Max
Partial Lapse.
“Did you cry, Ethel?”
(Doubtfully) “N-no, ma'am.”
“Are you quite sure?’
(With sudden illumination) “I booed,
but I didn’t hoo.”"—Puck.
Straws show which way the wind is
blowing, but not how soon it may
change.
Baby Kills Mother.
Mrs. Albert Major, of Ellangowan |
near the town of Shenandoah, Pa.
was shot and killed instantly by her
four-year-old son. The mother had
just returned from a visit and the little
fellow picked up a flobert rifle from a
table and, playfully pointing it at his
mother, pulled the trigger. The bullet
penetrated her heart.
Killed Making Toy Caps.
While making toy caps for his own
use on the Fourth of July, Morris S.
Drake, a salesman, twenty-four years
old, was killed by an explosion of
powder in his home in East Orange,
N. J. The explosion wrecked the up-
per part of the house where he was
working.
Kills and Steais Hog In Stockyard.
One of the nerviest thefts in the
police records at Lancaster, Pa. oc
curred at the Union stock yards.
The thief entered a hog pen, butchered
a good sized porker and then carrie
the meat away.
Being a Farmer,
It is no small chore to be a successful
farmer, as this category of requisites, set
forth by Secretary Wilson, abundantly
demonstrates :
“He keeps improved stock that responds
to their keeping ; he puts all manure
ptly on the field; he rotates his crope ;
e sile-drains his lands ; he keeps up good
fences; he has good pastures; be bas a good
garden; he breeds draught horses and does
farm work with brood mares and growi
oolts; he has a library with periodicals
standard works, and a musical instrument;
he hap bis wife inthe house when she
needs is, has a spring vehicle for her to
visit in, and drives her to church himself ;
he keeps dairy cows or mutton sheep, or
both.”
Even this does not exhaust the list. Old
Islesiod’s “Works and Daye’’ speoifiee
among other things that the sucoessinl
farmer will have an nnmarried bired man ;
it possible, one about 40 years old.
e up-to-date agrionlturist will also be
a member of his grange; enough of a poli-
tician to assure that the highway to his
market is improved and strain on vehicles
and horseflesh thereby reduced to a mini-
mum, and a oitizen with the jury habit
and relatives at the county seat, so that in
the winter months he may taste some of
the joys of town life and still be drawing a
tidy sum from the State.
Without insisting on these added quali-
floations, however, the seoretary’s list is
sufficiently comprehensive as it stands. To
be a good farmer from bis standpoint it is
necessary $0 he a competent stookman,
dairyman, gardener, fence builder, drain-
age expert, sower and mower and reaper;
on ocossion & ‘‘second-bired girl” to his
wife; a church attendant, a friend of liter-
atare and art—in short, an industrious,
well-willed, cultivated and effective oiti-
zen. He must have the tastes of an Eng-
lish country squire, the industry of a con-
tinental peasant and an American opportun-
ity. There are such men—Ilots of them —
and that is why the Americau farmer at his
best is properly held up to commendation
as the most substantial of all our oitizens.
“Blood Tells."
That old saying may bave many applica-
tions. When the face is blotohed with
pimples, the body vexed with ernptions or
eaten by sores, the blood is telling of ite
impure condition. Just as we put outa
red or yellow flag in the front of the house
where a dangerous disease is rampant, so
Natare puts out the yellow flag of saffron
skin, or the red flag of rash or eruption to
indicate the diseased condition of the blood.
Whenever symptoms of a disordered oon-
dition of she blood appear, the use of Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Disgotury should
be begun at once. It purifier the blood
perfectly. It removes the poisonous sub-
stances which cause blotohes, pimples and
sores. The result is asmooth skin, clear
complexion and healthy blood.

Polite,
A very mild North of England vicar had
for some time been displeased with she
quality of the milk served him. At length
he determined to remonstrate with his
milkman for supplying euch weak stuff.
He began mildly:
“I've been wanting to see you in regard
to the quality of milk with which you are
serving me.’
‘Yes, sir,” uneasily avswered the trade-
“1 only wanted to eay,’’ continued the
minister, *‘that 1 use the milk for dietary
purges exclusively, and not obristen-
