FACTS FOR FAZSERS. AGRICULTURAL NOTES AND HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. dow to Make Farm Work Easier and Home Brighter, When a man savs there is no use in planting shubbery in the school house yard, because the boys will destroy it, some parents need spanking more than their boys need it. The powdered hellebore used for destroying the currant worm is a less virulent poison than Paris green. In the mall amounts needed to efiest a clearing of these pests there is less dan- ger from careless handling thaa there 8 from any mineral poison. No effective method of fighting rose bugs has been found except hand-pick- ing. Arsenical poisons, kerosene emul- sions, pyrethrumn powder, and all the usual insecticides have proved power- less against this sturdy pest, which de- fies everything except actual capture by hand. It requres good, practical judgment and adapt it to the help that is em- ployed to do it. Trying to do tho much is the beseiting sin of Ameri- can farmers. They have been led into this through the cheapness of land, and of iate years by the increase of labor- saving machinery. Land that has grown much clove. seed is not good for a strawberry patch. It is good for almost any other farm crop for which clover is either harmless or a valuable manure. But among strawberries clover is one of the worst of weeds, and for this reason it is not best to sow gypsum or land plaster on the strawberry patch lest it cause too great an intrusion of clover. A college-bred man of twenty-eight, failing in health from office work, pur- chased a farm of sixty acres at North- port, Long Island. The second year he tried a few acres in vegetables and small fruits, which he found sale for in the village of Northport at most sat- isfactory prices. I was on his farm in the summer of 1883, and I must say that for a man who had got his knowl- edge almost wholly from books, his venture looked as if it would be a coms plete success. Mr. Peter Henderson tells of an as- paragus grower near Atlanta whose crop gave for three successive years a net profit of $1,500 per acre; and as instancing departures from old meth- ods, cites the case of a farmer residing near Rochester, “who half a dozen years ago, timidly made the attempt of growing a half acre of his fifty-acre farm in vegetables for a village mar- ket. His venture was so satisfactory that he gradually increased his area, 80 that he now uses thirty of his fifty acres mostly for the Rochester market, The net profit from the cabbage garden last year was $6,500, or a little over $200 per acre, and it was not a very good year for cabbages at that.” A few months ago a big ensilage convention was held at Cleveland, Ohio, to talk over the best way to make and preserve the fodder and compare notes on silo building. The wooden silo in some of its forms, was voted the favorite. tents in the best state of preservation and if properly built and painted, What is lacking is truth ahd confidence. If there were absolute truth on the one hand and absolute confidence on the other, it wouldnt be mecessary for the makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy to back up a plain statement of fact by a $500 guarantee. They say—“If we can't cure you (make it personal, please,) of catarrh in the head, In any form or stage, we'll pay you $500 for your trouble in making the trial.” “An advertising fake,” you say. Funny, isn’t it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guarantee absolute. Wise men don’t put money And “faking” doesn’t pay.
