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.

What is lacking is truth

If there were absolute truth
on the one hand and absolute

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

“An advertising fake,” you
say.

people prefer sickness to
health when the remedy is
positive and the guarantee
absolute.
