FARM NOTES.
—In feeding bay to hogs cut it and mix
with meal for the bess results.
—Spray grapevines with Bordeaux to
prevent rot, etc. We told you about this
before.
—~Over 2,000.000 tons of commercial
fertilizer are used annually in the United
States, valued at more shau $40,000,000.
—Beware of the red rust in she black
eap or blucichasy pate. When it appears
at once dig ont barn the affected plant.
—Seed potatoes for next year’s crop
shouid be selected when the crop is dow.
Select from bills containing she moss good,
smooth, marketable-sized tubers.
—Katydid eggs are oblong, scale-like
and are generally attached to twigs, and as
these insects are considered to he heneficial
when eggs of this sort are found they
should be protected.
—Constipation is the forerunner of all
diseases and disorders in live stock. Keep
the bowels open by feeding an abundance
of green feed, or giving liberal doses of «p-
som walte or raw linseed oil.
—There are about 25 kinds of nut-bear-
ing trees in the United States. The con-
samption of nuts is increasing rapidly, the
demand evidently growing much (faster
than the home supply is increased.
—Nothing is gained in setting celery,
cabbage and cauliflower plants in the field
before they have reached the proper size.
Wait until they are strong and stocky and
the skock of transplanting will not be so
severe.
—Keep the ground in tb. orchard and
garden free from rubbish and weeds. In
these many of the insect pests spend an im-
portant part of their existence, and if the
are destroyed many of the pests will peris
with them.
—The cantaloupe is a native of America,
and is eo called from the name of a place
near Rome, where it was first cnitivated in
Earope. The tomato is a native of South
America and takes its name from a Por-
toguese word.
~The following remedy is recommended
for the cow that slobbers; Ammonia
chloride 1 ounce: gam camphor 4 ounce;
gentian pulverized 2 ounces; add molasses
to make a paste. Put some on tongue
twice a day until relieved.
—Some gardeners are too caations
about the expenditure of labor and money
for svil improvement. The first essential
in gardening is a rich soil and this cannot
be secured without expense. The success
of the husiness depends largely upon the
right soil conditions.
—Are the boys and girls on your farm
given a chance to earu some money for
themeelves ? This is a very important
matter. Why npotlet them do a little
tracking ? Late cabbage might be planted
soon and shis crop could be stored and sold
daring the winter months.
=Iun 1840 the first shipload of Peruvian
guano wae vent to England to he applied
as a land fertilizer. This was used for its
ammonia. The Southern rock phosphate
mines were opened in 1867, the Florida
and Tenocesee phosphate mines later. The
trade in nitrate of soda began about
1840.
~—Anpalysis show that considering the
amount of protein and fat contained in
sorghum it is ahout equal to timothy hay
as feed. In point of the amount of nitrogen
free extract, is is about hall as rich in these
elements as timothy. Timothy contains 5
per cent. protein, 45 percent. nitrogen, free
extract, and 3 per cent. fat. Sorghum con-
tains 4.5 per cent. protein, 23 per cent.
Bikugen free extract, and 3 25 per cent.

—Vegetahles have medicinal properties.
Tomatoes act on the liver, spinach on the
kidneys, so does asparagus: ail kinds of
greens purify the blood. Lettuce and on-
oumbers cool the system and celery is ex-
cellent for both rheumatism and the nerves.
A soup made with onions is regarded by
the French as a restorative in cases of
debility or weakness of the digestive
organs. Leeks and garlic promote diges-
tion, and it is said that beet root gives
energy and cheerfulness,

his meane clean yards and clean, well
bedded stalls. Everything short of this
is positively repulsive and should not be
tolerated in a civilized community.
Stop the filthy habit known as wetting
the teats, by which is meaus the drawing
of a little into the bands with which to
wet the teats before and during milking,
Wash all otensils clean in inke-warm
water, afterwards wa: hing in raic water,
and rinsing in an abundance of boiling
water, then expose until the next using,
in direct sunlight, which is a good steril-
izer.
Use milk pails, cans, ete., for no other
purpose but to hold milk.
Keep ous of these utensils all sour or
tatnted milk, even after they bave been
used for the day. Using them for this por
pose at any time infects them so badly that
no amount of washing is likely to clean
them. Baoteria are invisible, and millions
can fiud lodging in the shin film of mois-
ture thas remains after dishes are apparent-
ly clean.
Brush down the cobwebs and keep the
buy free from aconmulations of dust and
trash.
Whitewash the barn at least once a
year.
The reasons for the above suggestions
are: All sour milk is due to the presence
of germs. They are abundant in every
stable; more abundant in a dark stable
than io one lighted, for the reason that
sunlight kills the germs; more abundant
in a filthy stable than in a clean one. They
are found on the udder of the cow and on
the bair. They are found in the teats
where they establish themselves in little
colonies. Hence when the farmer milks
on his hands and wets the teats be not only
ts a colony of germs in the milk started,
ut he gets with it a solution of whatever
filth there may be on the teats. The very
first milk should be milked on the ground
and not in the pail. Wash the germs out
of the teats by two or three motions, let-
ting these go on the floor. Germs harbor
in the pails hence the necessity for absolute
cleanliness. A pail that has held sour
milk will, be admirably stocked with
germs, which even warm water can not re-
move immediately.
A SURPRISED SWORDSMAN.
Judge Goffe's Flay With a Bragging
Fencing Master.
A fencing master appeared in Boston
one winter in the seventeenth century
and had erected a stage on which he |
strutted up and down at certain hours,
defying any and all to engage In sword
play with him.
After this had gone on for several
days and the man's boasts had be
come insufferable Judge William Goffe
and Edward Whalley, the famous Eng-
lish political refugees, disguised them-
selves in rustic costume and appeared
before the alleged master. Goffe held
In one hand a cheese wrapped In a
napkin, which he used for a shield.
and carried a mop which he had soak-
ed in muddy water as he passed a pud-
dle.
Thus equipped, the judge mounted
the stage. The fencer railed at him
for his impudence, asked him what
business he had there and ordered him
to begone. The judge stood his ground.
Then the gladiator made a pass at him
with his sword to drive him off. The
Judge received the sword in his cheese
and held it there till he had drawn |
the mop over the professor's face and
smeared him with mud. Another
plunge by the enraged maitre d'armes
resulted similarly, this time the judge
poking the mop into his eyes. This
operation was repeated a third time.
Then the maddened fencing master |
dropped his ordinary sword and grab-
bed up a huge broadsword. Thereupon
the judge said:
“Stop, sir! Hitherto, you see, I have
only played with you and not attempt-
ed to do you harm, but if you come at
me now with the broadsword know
that I will certainly take your life!”
The master was impressed by the
firmness with which the judge spoke,
for he dropped the point of his weapon
and exclaimed: “Who can you be? You
must be either Goffe, Whalley or the
devil, for there was no other man in
England that could beat me!"—Boston
Post.
HE GOT THE TICKET.
A Simple Little Errand That Made a
: Lot of Commotion.
One of the most amusing accidents
imaginable happened to an old gentle-
man ip one of our large eastern cities.
He was asked to buy a ticket to a fire-
man's ball and good naturedly com-
plied. The next question was what to
do with itt He had two servants,
either of whom would be glad to use
it. but he did not wish to show favor-
itism.
Then it occurred to him that he might
buy another ticket and give both his
servants a pleasure. Not knowing
where the tickets were sold, he in-
quired of a policeman, and the officer
fuggested that he go to the engine
house. So the old gentleman went to
the engine house that evening, but |
there was no one in sight. He had pev-
er been in such a place before and
stood for a moment or so uncertain
how to make his presence known.
Presently he saw an electric button
on the side of the room, and he put his
; thumb on it.
The effect was electrical In every sense
of the word. Through the ceiling.
down the stairs and from every other
direction firemen came running and
falling, the horses rushed out of their
stalls, and, In short, all the machinery
of a modern engine house was instant-
Iy in motion.
Amid all this uproar stood the inno-
cent old gentleman, who did not sus-
pect that he had touched the fire alarm
until the men clamored around him for
information as to the locality of the
fire.
Then he said mildly, “1 should like to
buy another ticket for the ball, if you
please.”
The situation was so iudicrous that
there was a general shout of laughter,
and the old gentleman bought his
ticket, and the engine house resumed
its former state of quiet.—Exchange.
Smells In Great Cities.
The man with a nose always recog-
nizes the small of the place, and he has
only to land at Calais to smell garlic.
London's smell—when the Londoner
returns—is jpst soot and fried fish.
Paris always smells of chocolate and
wood smoke. Florence Is violets and
sewage. But so soon as you get to
Russia the smell is quite different.
Moscow, the city of fruit that comes
from the Crimea, has a special smell
of the cranberry (which has various
names) in late summer. And you can-
not land in St. Petersburg without no-
ticing instantly the smell of the place.
~London Chronicle,
Pyramids.
The largest of the Mexican pyramids,
that of Cholula. has a base measure-
ment of 1,488 feet and a height of 178
feet. The Great pyramid of Egypt,
scmetimes called the pyramid of Che
ops, stands on a base each side of
which was originally 764 feet long; but,
owing to the removal of the coating, It
is now only 740 fet. Its height, ac-
cording to Wilkenson, was originally
480 feet 9 inches, its present height be-
ing 460 feet.—New York American.
Feminine Intuition.
Hattle—T'm positive George loves me
and wants me to be his wife. Ella—
Has he told you so? Hattie—No, but
he has taken such a strong dislike to
mamma.—Chicago Tribune.
The Uselessness of Worry.
Sympathy is loving understanding,
and the expression of it helps a lot.
Worry is sympathy run to seed—and
tnat doesn’t help in the least.—London
Sketch.
It's mighty hard for a girl to get
sentimental with a man who has just
lost his job.—Atlanta Journal.
WATERLOO.
The immutability of the Famous Old |
Battlefield.
One of the most striting features of
a visit to the battlefield of Waterloo
today is the immutability of the entire
scene In which one of the greatest bat-
tiles of history took place. Notwith-
standing the many years that have !
passed since the memorable day of
June 18, 1815, the entire scene of the
battle remains practically unchanged
and untouched, and the very buildings
around which the tide of battle surged
the fiercest, save for the necessary res-
torations of the damage they sustain-
ed in the conflict, remain exactly as
they were, nor has any encroachment
of building or progress marred the his-
toric field.
The battlefield of Waterloo is an
open, undulating stretch of good farm-
ing land. On the day of the battle the
greater part of it was covered with
crops of rye, wheat, barley and oats,
and the same crops are still grown
there each season. The field is inter-
sected by two highroads branching at
Mont St. Jean, the one on the right
leading to Nivelles, while that on the
left, which lay in the center of both
| armies, led south to Genappe, Char-
lerol and Namur. Upon the crest of
the ridge which formed the first of the
allied positions a crossroad runs east
and west. This road, on approaching
the spot where the “Lion of Waterloo”
now stands, ran through a cut in the
crest some twelve to fourteen feet
deep, and it was this point that was
known after the battle as the Hollow
Road. Some 500 yards to the south-
east of the “Lion” is the farm of La
Haye Sainte. while about 900 yards
to the southwest stands Hougoumont,
the old chateau, farmhouse, outbuild-
ings, walled garden and orchard, which
played such an important part in the
fate of the day. These buildings are
nearly 300 years old and were built
with a view to their defense, as many
old stone lcopholes still to be found
testify. — Robert Howard Russell in
Metropolitan Magazine.
Insomnia,
Insomnia is the not uncommon fate
of the brain worker who after years of
continuous mental strain retires from
active life. The reason is that mental
activity demands a large supply of
blood for the brain, and the blood ves-
sels gradually accommodate themselves
to this large supply. But when the
hard work is over the brain does not
always realize that it needs less nour-
ishment, and hence the condition of ex-
cessive mental activity which is what
insomnia is.—London Mail.
Suspicious.
The Warden—I think the members
of the choir are going to ask for
more money The Sidesman—Why?
The Warden—For the last two Sun-
days they have been listening to the
sermon.—I[llustrated Bits.
A Striking Misapprehension.
