FARM NOTES.
— Although turkeys will eat snow they
should nos be permitted to do so, but
should be given plenty of fresh, clean wa-
ter.
— Lice always attacks poultry more when
they are in an unthrifty condivion shan
When they are well fed and properly cared
or.
- Germany's acreage in toes reaches
the enormous number of 8.000,000. The
Jruludiive varies from 40,000,000 to 45,-
,000 tons during a season.
—Cobtonseed mea! contaios about 7 per
cent. nitrogen, oi mearly ball as much as
nitrate of soda. It is, therefore, called a
nitrogenous fertilizer, but contaiuvs, also,
some potash and phosphoric acid.
—The trees will soon begin to shed their
foliage, and the clean, crisp leaves should
be gathered and stored away as fast as they
fall, as they make an excellent soratobing
material for the floors of the poultry houose
daring the winter. .
~The Japanese ivy will cliog to the
smoothest surface, unlike its cousin, the
Virginia creeper, which needs a rough sur-
tace to cling to. Many av old farm baild-
ing would be made beautiful werea vine
or two of is planted to its walle.
—It hens are confined to the poultry
house on cold daye, see to it that they do
not bave to stand on she hare floor. Use
straw, cornstoike, cornhusks or other dry
material for a floor covering. Heos with
cold feet will not lay very many eggs.
saSuptetaty Wilson -e. “The ereaes)
crop of America is grass corn. Next
alter corn is probably cotton, then come
wheat and poultry, running neck and neck.
The produstof the ben coop is pow nearly
as valuable as that of the wheat fields.”
—Judge Pritchard, of the United States
Conrs, has decided that railroads are re-
sponsible for the action of their employes
in bandling live stock. This decision was
given in a case where calves on hoard cars
were kept more than 28 bours without food
and drink.
— According to Professor J. B. Smith, of
the New Jersey Experimental Station, the
most favorable time for spraying to kill the
Ban Jose scale is in the early fall, when
the leaves begin to turn yellow. At this
time the little insects are active and the
spray does the greatest damage to them.
—Sow rye for a cover crop on any laad
that is idle and not to he used for any other
crop this fall. Bare land loses fertility,
while land ip a growing crop gains in fer-
tility through the plants sbading the
ground and the roots opening it up to the
action of the air aud other decomposing
agencies.
—Colorado has joined the growing list
of States enforcing the registration of stal-
lions. A vigorous campaign is also beiug
waged in the State against the use of grade
stallions, and the promoters of better
horses are strongly urging the use of none
bat the best bred animals for propagation
purposes.
—The colt should have a variety of feeds,
80 that is may build op the various tissues
of its body. Clover hay and wheat bran
contain necessary mineral matter for the
Sullding of hone. Flaxseed meal in small
quantities is good for keeping the colt's
bowels in good condition, and for making
the coat sleek.
—An insufficient supply of bees will hin-
der the setting of fruit. While other in-
sects may take a part in the carrying of
pollen, the fruit raiser must rely chiefly
apon honey bees. Experience shows that,
thoogh bees may fly two or three miles,
hives should be within hall a mile of the
orchard or small frais patch.
—With average cows and using the cream
separator it is estimated shat from $50 to
$75 per year can be saved in butterfas with
10 cows. This amount will about pay fer
a good cream separator, and ite usefulness
will last for many years, makiog the buy-
ing of ove a good investment. Being atle
to sell the cream without hauling she milk
b the creamery aleo saves much time and
~The earlier the ground is plowed for
fall wheat the better, as it allows more
time for the soil to settle before seeding
time. Soil in which wheat and all other
grasses are sown must be worked down
very fine and compact in order that a large
per cent. of the seeds may germinate and
oung Planks make early aud rapid growth.
tra time and labor spent in this way
will be rewarded in ext season’s orop.
— When the cattle are fed on grain and
oil meal, in addition to a more bulky ra-
tion, the manure will be made more valua-
ble. If the grain is grown on the farm the
fields shat produce it must be supplied with
nitrogen and phosphates. The farmer or
dairyman who purchases grain or bay
brings back to his farm that which was lost
in milk, bus if he does not purchase food
be must procure instead ground bone, phos-
pitnab, nitrate of soda or some other
orm of fertilizer material.
—The value of sulphate of ammonia as a
fertilizer was demonstrated in Ger
pia may be y substitased for
nitrate of soda, oonfirme the wisdom
of the practice in Germany.

Good Looking Brides Wanted. i
Shortly after an angry looking couple |
flounced out of the chapel the pastor
of an uptown church presented a per- |
plexed countenance before the busy
sexton. i
“As you know." sald be, “I am new |
ifn this parish and new in the city. |
Perhaps there are a few things 1 ought |
to know. Why, for instance, do so
many people who never attend service
in this church wish to be married
here?” i
“Because our church,” said the sex
ton, “has the name of turning out the
youngest apd handsomest brides in
New York. Our reputation for good
works is dwarfed by our reputation |
for beautiful brides. To say ta
woman is married here is equivalent |
to saying that she is a ‘good looker.
We are not supposed to deal in brides
of any other description.”
“No wonder,” groaned the pastor,
“that that plain looking woman went |
away in a huff. I earnestly advised
her to be married in her own parish.”
-~New York Globe.
Wonders of a Japanese Hamlet.
Perhaps the most astonishing presen-
tation of “Hamlet” ever seen on any
stage was a Japanese version given by E
native actors at Kobe. The Kobe Her-
ald describes it as “a wonderful mix-
ture of the beautiful and the gro.
tesque. With an Ophelia sometimes in
graceful kimono and sometimes in
western evening costume and a king
who at one time appears in the piec-
turesque costume of a Japanese noble-
man and at others dons a silk hat and
a swallowtail coat, the effect is so
kaleidoscopic that a spectator has the
sensation of being perpetually trans-
ferred from one phase of civilization
to another. The climax Is reached in
Hamlet himself, who in the earlier
scenes wears the uniform of a student
of the Imperial university, in the third
act makes his appearance on a bicycle.
clad in a bright blue cycling suit and |
striped stockings, and at the finish is
seen In conventional evening dress
with a flower in his buttonhole.”
The Sixteenth Century Carver.
At the formal banquet of the six-
teenth century the man who carved
the meat was bound with the red tape |
of precedent When carving for dis- |
tinguished guests he had to remem- |
ber that certain parts of the birds or |
meat must be set aside. In carving
for his lord and lady he was expected |
to exercise great discretion in the |
size of the pieces he sent round, “for |
ladies will be soon angry and thelr
thoughts soon changed, and some lords |
are soon pleased and some not, as they | =
be of complexion.” He was expected |
to have the rules both of the kitchen
and the peerage at his knife's end.
A pike, for instance, must be dished
up whole for a lord and in slices for
commoner folk. The rank of his din-
ers, too, determined whether a pig
was to be served up whole, sliced,
plain or with gold leaf or whether |
new bread or bread three days old
should be eaten.
A Hungry Rabbit.
“1 do not think 1 was ever so non-
plused in my life,” said a conjurer,
“as once when performing my card
and rabbit trick. 1 ask a member of
the audience to tear a card into small |
pieces and give them all to me except
one. Later In the trick I produce a
rabbit from a box. and tied round its
neck is a card with a piece missing. It
is then found that the piece which the
member of the audience holds exactly
fits and completes the second card. On
this particular occasion | allowed the
rabbit to remain in the box too long
and when | produced him found that
bie had chewed the card round his neck
to bits. Needless to say. the laughter
when the audience grasped the trick
the animal had played on me was loud
and long.”
As Walter Saw It.
Walter. axed seven, Is a wise son
who knows not only bis own father,
but his own mother likewise.
“Now, Walter,” said the teacher, “if
your father could do a piece of work in
one hour and your mother could also
do it in one hour, how long would it
take both of them to do it together?”
“Three hours!" replied the scholar
without hesitation.
“Wrong!” said the teacher.
do you make that?”
“Three hours,” repeated Walter stol-
idly, “counting the time they'd waste
arguing about how it should be done.”
-~London Scraps.
“How
All Marriages Are Love Marriages.
“Was it a love marriage, do you
think?"
“Certainly. All marriages are love
marriages.
“Isn't that rather a sweeping state-
ment?
“Not at all. There is a love of ad-
venture, you know; love of luxury.
love of advertising and various other
kinds of love. There is no need of go-
ing into details when one speaks of a
love marriage.”—Chicago Post.
As to Lusk.
“I wonder if anybody's as unlucky
as I am.” grumbled the first pessimist.
“1 never have any luck at all.”
“Huh!” snorted the other. “You're
lucky. It's better to never have any
luck at all than to be always having
bad luck like me.”—Philadeiphla Press.
The Average.
“Pa, what's an average man?’

ness would be run a good deal better
if he could have more to say in the
matter himself.”
