FARM NOTES.
—An experienced horseman has found
equal parts of corn and oats grown to-
gether to be one of the best grain ra-
tions.
—Don't be in too big a hurry. It's un-
wise to work soil when it is soggy and
very wet. Wait until it dries into crumb-
lv, workable condition.
—Do not feed pigs too much corn while
they are young. Corn is a fat-producing
food and does not accelerate growth.
Feed shoats tankage, shorts and bran in
sufficient quantity to cause rapid growth.
—Prof. W. K. Graham says of the On-
tario Agricultural College: “This is pure-
ly an agricultural college, nothing is
taught in the college but subjects per-
taining to agriculture.” This is the kind
of agricultural college needed in the Unit-
ed States.
—Greiner says his prefernce is for stable
manure on asparagus, and he believes
one cannot injure an as us bed by
putting it on freely or otherwise at any
time of the year. Muriate of potash is
also good.
Lime is also useful.
—At a county fair in southern Virginia
last fall a prize for the largest yield of
corn per acre was awarded to a man who
made 169 bushels. A 14-year-old boy
raised 135 bushels of corn to the acre and
won $25 in gold offered by the Governor.
These vields demonstrate the possibilities
of good farming.
—The potato crop is ashort one through-
out the country and as a whole; yet the
prices paid for potatoes in the potato-
growing districts have been low and un-
satisfactory to growers. The market pa-
pers predict that the price of potatoes |
will go higher before spring. Much de-
pends, however, on the demand and also
upon the early southern crop.
—Currants may be most relied on of
any small fruit for a crop, if kept free
from the currant worm. Early applica-
tion of hellebore powder will destroy this
pest, and a good crop is almost sure to
follow. Remaining on the bushes from |
two to three weeks, they give better op- |
portunity to market than nfost berries,
and generally bring a good price.
—Soil moisture determinations were
made on plowed and unplowed soil at the
Delaware Experiment Station. Onan av-
erage for the season the unplowed land
contained 3.7 per cent. less moisture than
the plowed soil. During the autumn ard
winter months the subsoil of the plowed
portion contained on an average 3.7 per Pe
cent. more moisture than the unplowed
portion.
~It is not advisable to put axle grease
on fruit trees in order to prevent rabbits
and rodents from gnawing them. A lit-
tle grease might not do any damage, while
too much might injure the trees. Where
the climate permits some green crop, such
as oats, rye or wheat, will tempt the rab-
bits. The trees can also be protected by
wrapping them with old newspapers, thin
boards or wire screen.
—During the last year the lime-sulphur
wash, which for a number of years has
been employed to prevent damage to
trees by the San Jose scale, was tried
with great success in several localities as
a protection of orchard tree trunks against
the attack of rabbits, says Secretary Wil-
son. The remedy is cheap, and as a rule
a single treatment in the fall appears to
protect trees for the entire winter.
—Owing to its abundance, straw is ad-
ded to barnyard manure, but it may be
made more serviceable if made fine with
the feed cutter before being used. While
straw may soon rot after being mixed
with manure, yet in a fine condition it is
a much better absorbent and may be

DAILY THOUGHT.
m—
Pay as little attention to discouragements as
possible. Plow ahead as a steamer does, rough
or smooth—rain or shine. To carry your cargo,
make your port, is the point.
For the first anniversary of a marriage
fun can be made by having, as is proper,
for that year, everything in paper, even
the costumes of
Every man could have vest, coat and
sleeves of the title of some newspaper
(the same paper, of course, for the same
costume.) By choosing papers published
in distant cities and of varied type and
color, great variety can be secured. Then
the men should act the policy of the pa-
per represented. The women may take
magazines for their impersonations, hav-
ing the poster covers for aprons, and
general color of the publications the tint |
of their dresses, which should be made of |
tissue paper.
Recitations, orations and readings could
be made from each periodical or paper,
selecting ones also from which songs or
instrumental music could be rendered.
Of course the refreshments should be
served on paper dishes, the decorations
should be of paper and the food, as far |
as possible, be those things that are wide- |
ly advertised. i
Hostesses are even more delighted than |
children at the revival of Morris dances,
on account of the spice and variety they
give to anevening's entertainment. Many |
a dinner dance has been saved from utter |
dulness this winter by the introduction of |
some of these quaint old English figures
which have attained popularity at home
pnd seem to be on a fair way of doing so
! here.
| The fold dance as it has heen used in
school work and play may be directly re-
| sponsible for our prompt acceptance of
the Morris dance. The school exhibitions |
| have taught us how to appreciate the mer-
| ry makings of our foreign ancestors. In
| some of the schools the Morris numbers
are already being taught, but the fashion- |
able dancers receive their instruction
from two young women who came from |
England for the express pres of intro- |
qucify New York to old English jigs and |
reels.
Since their arrival several society wom-
en have been persuaded to include one or
| two Morris numbers in their dinner dances
| and for even informal appearances those
taking part have required professional |
coaching. Perhaps by another year ball-
rooms will look like a pageant of peasants
instead of an exhibition of fashionable
gowns.
Morris dancing to be properly done,
should be costumed in the Elizabethan
riod. Men dancers wear knee breeches
of velvet or corduroy and soft white
shirts in a blouse effect. Asgalluses were
not in vogue during the reign of Eliza-
beth, art ribbons serve to hold up the |
trousers. And peasants, of course, love |
bright colors and fluttering streamers so |
the ribbon suspenders are adorned with |
bows and ends of different colored ribbons |
which fall almost to the wide silk sash. |
White or light colored hose, low buck-
led shoes and an old style bowler or a soft
hat brightened by more ribbons, complete
the Morris costume for the man. The
women appear in fetching little frocks sug-
gesting shepherdesses or other simple rus-
tic lasses of Elizabethan days.
At one smart entertainment given the
other day the old English effect was fur-
ther enhanced by the use of bagpipe and
accordion instead of an orchestra. It is
said that the Morris airs, like the dances, |
are so old that nobody seems to know
much about them except that they were
' handed down from one generation to an-
other, then almost lost sight of for a long
period, until this modern revival.
The steps are not really difficult to do,
but they differ radically from our familiar
dancing ones.

forked into the manure with advantage. |
When loading and spreading manure
there is a saving of labor when handling
that which is fine, and the manure will
be more valuable because the loss of am-
monia will be arrested by the use of suit-
able absorbent materials.
= ive New York farmers no
longer limit the cultivation of their pota-
toes to one or two harrowings. They
keep the cultivator running through their
potatoes continually, thereby preserving
a pine shallow dust mulch which breaks
the attraction of water to thesurface and
keeps the soil moist, even through long
periods of dry weather. This is one of
the secrets of success in dry farming
which is adaptable to eastern conditions.
The other secret of profitable crop pro-
duction is a deep soil well filled with de-
caying vegetable matter, spoken of so fre-
gren tly by the agriculture professors as
umus.

horses to harness too much caution can-
not be observed in asking the youngster
to pull light loads to begin with. The

fashion for short sleeves on every gar-
ment will not bring upon us the tide of
elbow sleeves worn without any regard to
hour or place which engulfed us two
years ago. However, there is small use in
hoping when every straw points that |
way.
| The very small sleeve is decidedly in 1
fashion, and as it is, there is no reason to
believe it will be omitted from the ordi-
nary shirtwaist worn on the streets every
tay in summer. i
, Itis quite true that there are elbow |
sleeves and elbow sleeves. When they |
are well made and hang well, and are al- |
ways met by gloves when worn out of the
| house, they are an attractive and
| fertable summer fashion. It is their abuse
and not their use to which one strenuous- |
, ly objects. |
The bare arm is more attractive than
| any glove can make it when it is worn in-
‘doors; and the European fashion that |
many Americans have adopted of not |
wearing gloves in the evening has a de- !
cided artistic merit; but there is no pos-
sible excuse for going without gloves on
the street at any hour of the day or
night.
No one is expected to wear them in the
country or seashore on hot days, but the
city streets have certain conventions which
must be observed or cause one to take a
lower standard than those who observe
em.
A new step and time saver for the
housewife is the baked finnan
that now comes ready to use for fish
cakes, creaming or chowder. The fish is
less smoky than when it comes whole.
For the cakes mix the finnan haddle
parboiled with an equal quantity of mash-
ed potato, season with melted butter, salt

into cakes, then fry.

INSURANCE MAPS.
Handy Guides For Underwriters In
Fixing Premium Rates.
Many persons must have noticed
when making application for fire in-
surance that it is the practice of ths
underwriter t¢ examine certain maps
before he will fix the rate of premium
or accept a risk on the property of-
fered. His lithographic surveys mark-
ed off in diagrams of red and yellow
and other colors are always in evi-
dence, sometimes bound securely in
dozens of large volumes, on other oc-
casions lald conveniently in piles of
loose sheets for handy reference.
Few persons realize, however, that
these maps contain all the information
which the underwriter desires to know
about the building he is asked to in-
sure and that in most instances more
matters are explained to him by a
single glance than the applicant could
make even though he be the owner of
the property.
As a matter of fact the details set
forth are most explicit. The map-
maker has managed by colors, charac-
ters and signs to give a full description
of the construction, equipment and oc-
cupation of the building, everything
which over fifty years of this sort of
| surveying has proved to be of any pos-
| gible interest to the insurance man. It
is so complete. for instance, that an
agent in New York city can readily
form a good idea of the character of a
risk situated in some town in Missouri
or California, or, vice versa, agents in!
towns in these western states can like-
wise tell the character of a risk In
