FARM NOTES. —Save a few of the old tarkey hensas the two year-old is a better breeder than the young hea. —A recommended remedy for cabbage worms is to duss the worms with wheat flour or middlings. —When raising tarkeys for market medinm sized ones will be found better than extra large ones. - Over 70 counties and colonies of the world now use American farm machinery. Last year Argentina bought nearly a wil lion dollars’ worth. —A New York man, who has an orobard of 1000 trees planted 20 feet apart each way, plants currant bushes five feet apart — way except in every other space run- ning the longest way of the field. —Many farmers in Indiana this year abandoned sweet corn as a vegetable crop, aod put in more acres to wheat. Asa re sult there will practically be no sweet corn in Indiava next year for canuing purpos- CR The business men of Columbus, O., bave completed a cement cistern with a capacity of 100 barrels which will be filled with apple juice next fall. A pump will bein- serted the lignid will be free to all. Co- lumbaus is a “'dry’’ town. —The Long Island Experiment Station ta that with wood ashes and manure used for three years smooth, even and large potatoes were produced tbat bad a fine flavor. With a high-grade potato ‘‘fertil- izer’’ they report a very small yield of under-sized potatoes with poor flavor. —Thioning of fruit should not be delay- ed. Pick off all defective {ruit to prevent contagion and to allow the rest of the fruit on the tree to grow larger and more per- fect. When seeds form in frais a large amount of strength is taken from the tree, and this is especially true of peaches and the kindred stone fruits. —T. A. Cleever, of Centerville, Pa. clipped ten fleeces of wool that produced 170 pounds, the heaviest weighing 23} pounds. Edward Lisle clipped 45 sheep, which produced 4500 pounds, an average of 11 1.0 pounds to the sheep. The sheep weighed 5235 pounds, an average of 115 pounds, after they had been shorn. Go through the orchard at this season and cot out the euckers and mutilated branches. The suckers extract unnecessary pourishment from trees, and mutilated branches will injure the trees more or less and are unsightly in the orchard. Burn immediately all hravches infested with blight or other diseases to keep the disease from spreading. —Experiments at the Wisconsin experi- mept station show that hemp is a great eradicator. Land that was badly infested with quack grass, Canada thistle and wild mustard aod other types of weeds was cleaned up by a crop of hemp which grew to a height of 10 or 12 feet. Some Wiscon- sin farmers manage to get a profit of shout $46 an acre from the hemp crop. — What abominable hog oy you find the country over! In spring and sam- mer they are all overturned and uprooted and in fall little better than a patch of dried stubble. This is all because we don’t have good pasture to start with and we try to keep too many hogs to the acre. We have a great deal to learn regarding the science of making pork on grass. —It is claimed that thousands of dol- lars’ worth of weeds are annually imported into this country to be used in making medicine. Sach weeds as wild mustard, burdook, jimson, dandelion, which our farmers consider great nuisances, are sold to our chemists in | quantities. A quarter of a million dollars was paid last You tor 5 000,000 pounds of wild mustard one. — Investigations made by Prof. G. F. Warren, of the Cornell Station, in Western New York orohards ehow shat 30 per cent. of the orchards examined in Wayne county were nos fertilized: 60 per cent. received barnyard, and a few orchards also received some commercial fertilizers and green ma- pures. The fertilized orchards gave a yield of 55 bushels per acre more thao those not fertilized. —Grace Fayne 24's Homestead, a Hol- stein- Friesian cow, valued at $8000, died recently at the Harvey A. Moyer farm, just north of Syracuse, N. Y., from pneumonia. The animal was heavily insured, and beld the world’s butter record of 35 55 8 of butter in one week, and the 30 day rec- ord of 134 18 a.

He Thought It Was Very Funny to Fire the Hayrick. Practical joking, “the meanest form of wit,” is common in Hungary. For- merly the pranks used to be coarse, if not dangerous, but that is changing now. The only saving grace of the Magyarian practical jokes, says W. B. F. Bovill in “Hungary and the Hun- the great plain, he lived and died “a prodigal and a buffoca.” A story is told of Jozsa going to spend a night with a Couat Keglevich. Wishing to be impressive, he journey- ed thither in a beautiful new coach, of which he was very proud. On being shown over the grounds by the count his attention was directed to a remark- ably fine hayrick. Hay was then standing at a good price. After sup- per Jozsa drew together some friends, and the rick was soon nothing but a heap of ashes. The next morning when Jozsa want- ed to continue his jon mey his won- derful "carriage was not to be seen anywhere. “Why, my friend,” sald the count, “you yourself burnt it last night. The fact is my coach house wants repair- ing, and as the evening threatened to be wet we put your carriage under the rick to keep it dry.” A MAN OF LUCK. The Story of the Test by the Eastern King's Minister. A king once said to a minister, “Do you believe in nck?” “I do,” said the minister. “Can you prove it?’ asked the king. “Yes, 1 can.” 80 one night he tied up to the ceil- ing of a room a bag containing peas mixed with diamonds and let in two men, one of whom believed In luck and the other in human effort alone. The one who believed in luck quietly laid himself down on the ground on his blanket; the other after a time found the bag and, feeling in the dark the peas and stones, ate the peas.and threw the diamonds to his companion, saying, “There are the stones for your idleness.” The man below received them in his blanket. In the morning the king and the minister came and told each man to keep what he had found. The man who believed in trying got the peas which he had eaten; the other got the diamonds. The minister then said, “Sire, there may, you see, be luck, but it is as rare as peas mixed with diamonds, so let none hope to live by luck.”—An East- ern Fable. Teaching Him a Lesson. The new mail carrier on the rural free delivery route glanced at the name on the letter box by the roadside, stopped his horse and spoke to the roughly attired farmer with the old slouch hat who was resting his sun browned arms on the gate and look. ing at him. “I see,” he said, “your name is Holmes.” “Yes.” “Beverly G.7” “Yes, I'm the man that Hives here.” “Any relation of Sherlock Holmes?" gravely asked the carrier. “No, sir,” answered the farmer, “but I'm detective enough to know that you're not a very good judge of human nature. You took me for an ignoramus because I've got my old working duds on. I'm Sherlock Holmes enough to look at a man’s face and eyes before I size kim up as a— Some mail for me? Thanks.”—Youth's Companion. Men and Their Feet. The Frenchman's foot is long, nar- row and well proportioned. The Scotchman’: foot, according to anthro- pologists, is high and thick, strong, muscular and capable of hard work. The Russian’s foot possesses one pe- | culiarity, the toes being generally “webbed” to the first joint. The Tar tar's foot is short and heavy, the fi Jt of a certai~ type of savage, and the toes are the same length. The Span- fard’s foot 's generally small, but fine- iy curved. The Englishman's foot is in most cases short and rather fleshy and not, as a rule, as strong propor- tionally as it should be.—Argonaut. stance: Teacher—Now, can you tell me wha the olfactory organ is?

His Skill Has Much to Do With the Brilliancy of the Gem. When the expert looks at a diamond he can tell you in a moment where it came from and even whether it was cut lately or some years ago. He knows by its color whence it comes, for the color of the Brazilian diamond differs from that of the South African, and even in South Africa different col- ors are found in different mines. In the rough the diamond has little brilliancy, for there is a crust that must ‘be cut away before it can prop- erly refract the light, and it is this power of refraction which makes the brilliancy of a diamond and has ev erything to do with its value in the market. The skill of the diamond cut- ter has much to do with bringing out this brilliancy. He must do the most he can with the rough stone before him and lose as little as possible of the precious weight in the stone. Diamonds are found in all kinds of queer shapes, for the carbon may be in any position while being crystalliz- ed, and the act of crystallization may affect only parts of that carbon. When the expert cutter has a rough diamond before him he judges almost instantly how it will cut to the greatest ad- vantage. If it inclines to the pear shape he will make a pear shaped din- mond of it. If it be square or round the cutting will folow the natural lines as closely as possible, so that the loss may be reduced to a minimum, To make the stone as brilliant as possible the diamond cutter cuts many facets so as to refract the light from as many points as he can. A full cut brilliant has at least forty-eight facets, and so expert are the cutters that they often cut diamonds so small that it re. quires a hundred to weigh a carat. Each has forty-eight facets.—Cleve- land Plain Dealer.

The New York Aquarium bas recently obtained an octopus alter a search lasting over several seasons for one representative of its kind. It is neatly three feet in ex- tent, from the tip of one tentacle to the extremity of the opposing one, and has the ability to change color at will, which it does especially when attacked or molested. Hiding and cronching in the crevices and grottoes of submerged reefs, its body as- suming the same color as its sarronndings. the monster easily captures all kinds of marine animals with its tentacles. Ib the Aquariam it is fed on live rock crabs, which are seized by a quick out-thrust of one of the spake like arms. The octopus bas a grotesque walk or orawl, dragging its eight legs, and swims clumsily, in a backward manner, bringiog all its limbs into piay. It seldom lives long in captivity. —You miss a good thing if you don’t take the WATCHMAN. ~The owl can see farther at night than any other bird or animal. (ASTORIA.

When you — that sach a procla- mation is sent broadcast throughout the country to every village postoffice, coo- stable, police station, eberiff, and United States marshal, it is evident that the de- serter bas but a very slender chance of ee- caping detection. In addition to the ordi- nary marks of recoguision, the soldier car- ries with bim the inevitable mannerisms of the service, especially that peculiar stride which characterizes the profession he bas followed and whioh is more difficult to dis. guise thau the lockstep of the convies. Fully four-fifths of the men who desert from our Army are of foreign birth. This does not imply that the vast majority of our enlisted men are naturalized citizens, but simply that a great many of that class are professicnal army deserters and bave bad records bebind thew iu Earope. After deserting from a foreign army they came here and, being upable to secure work, joined our forces. Bat the old dissatisfac- tion with the soldiering life again became | too strong to be resisted, aud the resuls is another desertion and, the almost certain result, a term in the goard-honse or in the pational prison.— Harper's Weekly. ——For many years the stronghold of the woman suffrage movement bas been | considered to be in the Western States. | The prejudices there were less crystalized; | the sentiment of fair play was somewhat | stronger and the proportion of women was | not large enough to arouse the spirit of ri- 1 valry. The last few years, however, bave | seen a wonderful awakening among the | women of the East, and it looks as if those | of the West would not hold their sapre- | macy much longer. This recent interest ie | especially noticeable in New York State, and it seems pot improbable that the largest city in the United States may be- come the centre of the organized work. There has been a strong favorable senti- ment in thie State, as was clearly shown at the time of the last constitutional con- | vention in 1894. At that time a petition | asking that a clause giving the franchise to women should be put into the new Consti- tation was presented, whioh was signed by 332,148 individual names. and memorials and petitions signed officially by labor unions, granges, and other organizations brought the signatures up to 600,000. The auti-suffragists presented a petition with 15,000 names of both men and women, and pot of women only. The official report can be bad by sending a few stamps to the pational suffrage headquarters, Warren, Obio. In the face of this only referendum ever taken on the guestion in New York State it seems incredible that the anti-sal- fragists should olaim to represent even a very small minority of public sentiment. — Harper's Bazaar. ——Do you know that you can get the finest oranges, banannas and grape fruit, and pine apples, Sechler & Co.
