FARM NOTES.
—It pays to feed the colts grain.
—Good feed and exercise must go
together.
—Turn the colts in the yard every day
for exercise.
—An uncomfortable, suffering pig can
not be a profitable one.
—Hogs and hens do not go well in the
same house. Don't try it.
— Drafts under the floors are death to
pigs and even to grown hogs.
—The manure from each cow is worth
from $25 to $30. Don't let it waste.
—A horse's pulse beats from thirty-six
to forty times a minute when he is in
health.
—Dark hog houses are not healthful.
Let in the light and keep your porkers
healthy.
—Pigs are not protected from cold by
warm coats of hair, and suffer greatly if |
exposed.
—With a good stool to hold up the pail |
you can restat milking time, after a hard |
day’s work. i
—Because sheep have warm coats, it
does not follow that they can be exposed
to wet and storms. {
—A horse's usefulness is measured by {
his strength and rapidity of movement, |
and not so much by size or by weight.
—Carrots must be fed sparingly to
working horses. Cut them in slices. They |
are a laxative, and affect the kidneys also. |
—It pays to fuss a little with the cows,
and they relish a little change in diet,
With some dainties added, as well as we
—Arsenate of lead is a better and safer |
tato bug killer than Paris green or |
Pon purple. It will never burn the
leaves.
—1If any sheep or lamb is heard cough- |
ing, put it by itself and give special care
and treatment. Find the cause and re- |
move it. |
—When a sheep gets unruly, the best
thing to do is to make a trip to the meat |
man’s, and take as your passenger that |
trying sheep.
—Don't feed out all the clover to the |
cows. Save a nice lot for the sheep. They |
will get as much good out of it as any |
animal on the farm. |
—It is impossible to develop a colt into i
a sound, serviceable horse if it is kept!
tied on a hard floor day in and day out
through the winter. |
—Stuffing the colt with hay or straw or |
any coarse feed will spoil its looks. Keep '
this ration down by the use of some grain |
and less coarse f
—1If a small pig is chilled it can be re- |
vived by dipping it into water as hot :
you can bear your hand in, then wrap- |
ping it in warm flannel. i
—Lop off the ration of ail kinds when '
the horses are doing little or nothing. |
They are too much like a man to stand |
heavy feed while lying still. |
—The cost of twenty or thirty bushels |
of oats fed to the colt during the winter
will be worth more than ce as much |
in its growth and development. |
—Millions of pounds of wool are im- |
ported annually to supply the home de- |
mand. Why not grow this wool on our
own soil and keep the money in the fam-
ily?
—Watch the hired man with your
horses. If they cringe, dodge or show
signs of fear while with him, take my ad-
vice and “fire” him. A good horse is
spoiled when he is a victim of fear.—From
January Farm Journal.
—Don't forget that a few beets, turnips
or cabbage mixed with the regular rations
of the dairy herd these wintry days, will
do much toward taking the place of the
juicy grazing the ani relished so much
in summer, when they filled the milk-
pail to overflowing.
—No one can afford to keep a fat dairy
cow. If a cow gets fat while in milk she
uses too much of her feed for other pur-
than making milk of it. A cow
that has a good appetite, eats heartily and
keeps thin in flesh while giving milk, is
usually a good one to keep.
—Rye grass is one of the oldest, if not
the oldest grass separately cultivated for
forage purses, as it has been in cultiva-
tion in England
especially valuable for permanent pastures
on heavy soils in most climates. It isa
good hay grass where conditions are fa-
vorable, but has never been highly es-
teemed in this country.
—A farmer at an institute said that one
very good way for handling rock phos-
phate is to haul it to your barn and
spread a certain amount of it over the
manure pile as it accumulates. By -
ing t*at over the land you get both the
humus and the rock phosphate on the
land , and do not need a special
machine for spreading outside of the
manure spreader.
—Lime is found in the ashes of all
plants, and therefore must be
an essential constituent of their substance, |
although the lime requirement of differ-
ent plants vary bly. It is most
prefions with clover, lucerne,
s and vetches; while it is least im-
portant with cereals. Thus a crop

Fox as a Gamester. i
Charles James Fox. the English |
statesman, was even more notorious in |
the gaming world than he was famous i
fn the world of politics. He had i
squandered $250,000 before coming of |
age. He became one of the most profli-
gate gamesters of the vicious days in
which he lived. Some of his finest dis- |
plays in debate were sandwiched be-
tween excitement such as would un-
nerve most men who had no serious
business on hand. Walpole has given
a glimpse of a typical passage in this
extraordinary man's life. He had to
take part in the discussion on the
thirty-nine articles in parliament on a
certain Thursday. He had sat up play-
ing hazard from Tuesday evening until
5 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. An
hour before he had recovered $60,000
that he had lost and by dinner time,
whicli was © o'clock, ended losing $50,
000. On Thursday be spoke in the
debate, went to dinner at past 11 at
night; thence to a club, where he
drank till 7 the next morning: thence
to a gambling house, where he won
£30,000, and between 3 and 4 in the
afternoon he set out on a journey to!

Pirates and Strategy. !
The virtuous island of Sark was not |
always so. When Edward III. was
king, Sark was a haunt of pirates and
wreckers., Sir A. Conan Doyle in “Sir
Nigel” tells how they lived not upon |
the island, “but from what they can:
gather upon the sea around it. They |
are broken folk from all countries—
justice fliers, prison breakers, reavers,
escaped bondsmen, murderers and
staff breakers who have made their
way to this outland place and hold it
against all comers.” The merchants
of Rye and Winchelsea fitted out an
expedition against those scourges of
the narrow seas. A landing was ob-
tained by strategy. Leave was ob-
tained to bury a supposititious dead
sailor on the island, the burying party
to come unarmed. But that apparent
coffin was filled with weapons, and so
was Sark cleansed of its evil inhabit-
ants.—London Standard.

A Story of Mathews.
Charles Mathews one day previous
to the period of his publicly proclaimed
dire bankruptey invited a friend to
dine with him. The walnuts were
washed down by some rare sherry.
“That's a delicious wine,” his friend
exclaimed. “It must have cost you a
lot of money."
“It didn't cost me anything that I
know of,” the flighty comedian an-
swered, with a shrug.
“You had it given to you, then?" the
friend suggested.
“Oh, no,” answered Mathews; “I
bought it from Bilis, in Bond street.”
“But he will charge you something
for it?" the friend exclaimed in aston-
“1 believe he does write something
down in a book,” Charles retorted
gravely. “Let's have another glass,
my boy.”

When Tea Was Dear.
Those who grumble at the price of
tea should turn for consolation to the
records of its price in early times. At
its first introduction into England,
about the middle of the seventeenth
century, tea fetched anything between
| £6 and £10 a pound, and though a fall
| in price quickly took place the East
| India company still had to pay over
£4 for the two pounds of tea which it
presented the king. However, even
thus it is doubtful if the tea merchants
got very fat, seeing that the importa-
| tion of some 4,000 pounds in 1678 was
| enough to glut the market for some
years.—Londoa Chronicle.

| English Injustice.
| An Australian tourist traveling in
' the west of Ireland asked an old wo-
| man how far it was to the nearest
town. She sadly looked at him, then
sighed and said:
| “It was five nice miles two years
ago, but some English brute came over
with chains and made it seven, and
our hearts are broke walking it ever
since. Bad luck to them!"
And she lisappeared into the house,
' leaving him there. Illustrated Bits,

Cramp in the Leg.
\ To those who suffer from cramp in
| the leg at night the following hint
| may be useful: When the cramp
| comes on take a good strong string—
| a long garter will do—wind it round
the leg over the place that is affected
and take an end in each hand and
give it a sharp pull, one that will hurt
a little. Instantly the cramp will de-
part, and the sufferer can return to
bed assured it will not come on again
i that night.

“1 have a remarkable history“ be-
! A Dubious Saying.
“Mister” or “Esquire?”
The words “esquire” and “mister” are
those in daily use, and yet most of
us would be rather puzzled to say in pre-
cise language what we meant by them.
In a recent county-court case in England
a schoolmaster was ruled out of the “gen-
tleman” or “esquire’’ list. i
distinctions on t §é point have been anom-
alous, however. following are not
“gentlemen;" a buyer of silks, a solici-
tor's clerk out of regular work, a com-
mission agent, and an audit office clerk.
On the other hand, the following have
been held “gentlemen"—viz., one follow-
ing country pursuits and a silent partner
in some business, a medical student, a
dismissed coal agent out of work, and a
living on a parent's allowance.
Aside from legal authority, it be
said that Matthew Arnold a the
difference in the English custom by an
assertion that signified that a gentleman,
or any one who is engaged in a gentle:
manly” occupation, is denominated “es-
quire,” but that the tradesman is entitled
to nothing better than “mister.”
The English themselves are not always
sure in making the distinction. Not long
ago it was found by one who took the
trouble to investigate that the railway
companies vouchsafe the honor of “es-
quire” only to those ngers who care
sufficiently about their social standing to
be holders of first-class season tickets.
The real derivation of the word “es-
quire” is, as most le will remember,
from “escuyer”—old French for “shield-
bearer”—and so it came to be applied to
the chief retainers of knights. en the
feudal days passed the word remained.
