FARM NOTES,
Remove the loose stones before plough-

Corn and oats ground together make
good cow food,
Dark colored eggs are said to be com-
ing into fashion for table use. Very
dark ones are laid by the dark Brah-
IAs,
If the heavy rains have hardened the
surface of the recently plowed ground
go over the fleld with a cultivator, and
follow with the harrow before laying
off the corn rows,
A row of raspberries along the line
of a fleld, or as a dividing line, instead
of a fence, will give a plentiful supply,
and can be easily cultivated, but such
a fence will not turn stock.
Sow the first crop of peas early If you
want them before the medium varieties
come In. The dwarfs are the earliest.
The standard runners, which require
sticking, are the highest flavored.
There Is a scarcity in the country of
large brood mares. The small ware on
a stock farm is gong out of favor,
Mares with a strain of Clyde or Perch-
aron blood in them are the best,
The value of the corn crop does not
depend upon its grain only. The leaves
and stalks are valuable, and no portion
of the crop need be lost. As a todder-
producing plant,corn has no equal.

Dr. Collier, of the New York Ex-

Much is gained by planting beet seed
very early. It is a crop that requires
plenty of time to become well establish

first, the beet crop is easily cultivated
after it gets well under way.
The brood sow that has weaned her
pigs willdo well on grass alone. If
compelled to work for her food she will
be in better condition for breeding pur-
poses than when heavily fed and made
fat. Too much fat is detrimental to
all breeding stock.

which may enable it to produce large

Hard, lumpy poultry manure will
not easily dissolve, there being a large
proportion of silicate of lime in the

heap in the barn-yard,
An iron Fucket, (galvanized) large
enough for the purpose, should be used
under the privy reat, instead of using a
pit, Dy this means all the privy ma-

Jessie of Lucknow,
There sre always persons who take
delight in demolishing the traditions
which best please the world, Their
idea seems to be—*"The better the tale,
the more sure is it to be false,” We
have no sympathy with these persons,
and are always glad when they prove to
be in the wrong.
Of late it has been fashionable to deny
that there ever was a Jessie Brown at
Lucknow, and that even had there been,
she could possibly have heard the
bag-pipes. There are some witnesses,
however, who stoutly support the truth
of the story as it has been told for
many years, and one of them, Marie F.
B. Cuttler, in a letter to the London
Times, says:
“Having accidentally seen in to-day’'s
Manchester Guardian an account of

Jrown hearing the pibroch so long be-

interesting to your readers to know
that I believe the story to be perfectly
true.
“Jossie Brown was a domestic ser-
vant of my mother’s about the year
1853, and lived with us for a few years

A Siseniax letter received in Paris
recently, announces the arrest of three
men and a woman for writing an appeal
to the Russian people protesting against
the conduct of Ostashkin in the Ya-
kutsk affair. The trial of the prisoners
will probably result in their sentence
to death.
