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

— 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

AN IMPRACTICAL JOKER.
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

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.

" THE DIAMOND CUTTER.
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.

An Octopus in Captivity.
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.

The Way of the Deserter
Ou the balletin hoard iu a postoffice one
frequently sees a proclamation aunoanciug
in large type that a reward of fifty dollars
is offered by the governmens for the appre-
bevsion of -80, who bae deserted from
the United States Army,and accompanyiog

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

which characterizes the profession he bas

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

deserting from a foreign army they came
here and, being upable to secure work,
joined our forces. Bat the old dissatisfac-

result, a term in the goard-honse or in the

——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. —
