FARM NOTES.
Who would think that the apple tree
So barren, awkward and bare,
Would ever don its living bloom
And become most wondrous fair?
Who would think that birds could ever hide
Brown nests that none could see
Beneath its robes of green and pink?
Yet it will not fail to be.
—A ‘good pasture, well fenced, and
good water in it, is a good place for grow-
ing stock. Growing stock soon run into
money. . ;
—Rubbish and brush in the orchard
yet? Gather and burn at’ once, and thus
destroy harboring places of insect. fungi
and other pests. ~
_ —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 driesinto crumb-
ly, ‘workable condition.
—Now mind this: Make two sowings
of clover seed, one now and one early in
April. Usc half red, other half alsike.
Do not miss the alsike.
—There is always a demand for good
mules. They are good sale at any ume
after weaning. They are the hardiest
animals that can be raised.
—There is no better time than now to
set geese eggs. Set them under a hen,
allowing her five eggs. which are about
all she can conveniently cover.
—The only successful way to fight
fungous troublesin the orchard is to begin
carly, betore the disease appears. Xe-
member that fungicidal sprays are preven-
tives, not cures.
—The more corn the more stock; the |
more stock the richer the land; the richer
the land the more corn,—and there you
have the secret of a rotation that is sure
to bring success.
—Some folks are forever planning
ahead and figuring how to make chickens
Nth their plans and figures the hens and
their broods are neglected.
—No fowl is so hard to doctor as a
turkey. A secret of success with turkeys
lies in avoiding inbreeding. A

DAILY THOUGHT.
The only way to shine, even in this false world
is to be modest and unassuming. Falschoud may
be a crust, but in the course of time truth will
find a place to break through. — Ruskin,
Not every young mother knows how to
“wash hér baby so that the least harm and
the greatest benefit will result. Yet it is
quite simple. After mastering the impor-
tant points here set forth, the daily bath-
ing becomes a pleasure to the child and
certainly is not
The successful washing of a baby is large-
ly a matter of practice, but there are a
few hints which must be acted on if baby
is to get real good from his bath and come
| to no harm. :
In the first place, everything must be in
readiness before the child is undressed.
The room must be warm, so that a fire is
necessary excepting in very hot weather.
A screen should be drawn around the
fire to keep off draughts, and it is well
also to lock the door to prevent intruders
bringing a gust of cold wind with them.
! flannel or flannelette,
nor pins sticking in her dress.
The bath should be shallow, the water
soft and warm. Rain water is best, but
| very hard water can be softened by add-
ing a little milk or toilet oatmeal.
| The temperature of the water should
be tested by the elbow, which is more sen-
| sitive to heat than is the hand. The soap
| should be of a mild variety, of any well-
known make, and highly scented and
| brightly colored soaps should be avoid.

—It's all right to have the brood coops |
wind-tight but not air-tight. It does not
take much of a carpenter to put a pane
of glass in a brood coop, and the chicks
do better if they can have light when they
must be shut up during cold, stormy
weather.

herds that are not bothered more or less
with parasites.
—When a spell of bad weather comes,
look out forlice. They multiply fast when
hens and chicks have to be confined to
tueir coops much of the time. These
will soon reduce the vitality of the liveli-
est chick ever hatched, so that it will be
in good condition to take gapes or some
other ailment.
—Some one has estimated from statis-
tics that fruit trees and bushes will bear
for the following periods: Apples, for 25
to 40 years; blackberry. from 6 to 14
years; currant, for 20 years; gooseberry,
for 8 to 12 years; pear, for 50 to 75 years;
plum, for 20 to 25 years, and raspberry,
for 6 to 14 years.
—Here is the most approved method of
treating seed potatoes to prevent a scabby
crop: Soak the whole seed for two hours
in a mixture of one-half pint of formalin
(often called formalde) and fifteen gal-
lons of cold water; dry the seed, cut, and
flant in ground that has not recently
growing potatoes.
—Every drooping chicken shouid be ex-

about the neck or some trifling ng will
cause the fowl to appear sick, and if past

it seems at all hopeful it should be quar-
antined. Then the premises should get a
thorough going over for lice, dampness,
filth or lack of fresh air so as to keep the
disease from spreading. At the same time
a good tonic will not come amiss with ex-
tra care in the feeding, and a clean run if
possible. Very often the outbreak of dis-
ease is the best thing that can happes, on

Indeed, they deserve our admiration.
They appeal to our practical natures for
several reasons. First, they are not ex-
pensive. Foulards nowadays are purchas-
able for money in the vicinity of the one-
dollar mark. In the widths available ten
or twelve yards are ample for a dress.
The good quality of foulard is now water-
roof. It sheds the dust, and can be used
or petticoats or linings after having
served as a costume.
Bordered foulards are evident in most
of the silk showings. They are beautiful
and have the added feature of requiring
no trimming for the costume that they
make.
Persian designs on the border, a queer
lightning effect, all the oriental mixtures
of colors and curious indistinct flower
forms are seen to decorate the rich silks.

from this very fact it would seem that
