America's sweet tooth is said to bs
abnormally developed. The consump
tion of sugar reaches the astonishing
total of 5,500,000,000 pounds; but only
one-eighth of this is raised at home.
Last year nearly a third of the supply
came from Germany, and eight per
cent, more from the rest of Europe.
The West Indies sent twenty-four per
cent and the East Indies fourteen per
cent. Fully half the sugar imported
came from countries no better able to
produce it than is the United States
herself. Last year we raised 125,000,
000 pounds of beet sugar. There are
those who prophesy that in another
decade the entire amount of sugar
seeded for home consumption will be
produced within our own borders.
The present average is about seventy
three pounds a year each, or a pound
a day per family of five.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.
Serene comfort and happiness in ad
vanced years are realized by compara
tively few womn.
Their hard lives, their liability to se
rious troubles on account of their pecu
liar organism and their profound igno
rance concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the period of usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Finkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor
ous he alth in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly com
ing the most convinclug statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. C. Onus, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa,, which is
earnest and straight to the point :
" Deab Mas. Pinkhah: I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies are wonderful. I
bad trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. I can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. I
consider your medicine the best to be
bad for female troubles."
The present Mrs. Piokhasn's experi
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked 6ide by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.

Crops as Manure.
Using crops for manure does not
bring iu quick returns, but it pays.
Such crops as turnips, rye, buckwheat
and crimson clover assist iu reducing
the plant food iu the soil aud making
it poss.'ble for the crops the succeed
ing year to utilize the plant food
plowed under iu the manure crop.
All soils contain unavailable matter
that the farmer needs. There are
crops that do not have the power to
break dowu the chemical compounds
existing iu the soils, but there are
other crops which have a partiality
for some substances which are beyond
the ability of plauts of a different
kiud. One crop may be preparatory
for another, hence the plowing tin
der of a crop is not a loss, but a gain.
Iu England the turnips are regarded
as a renovator of the soil, and the seed
is broadcasted over tho surface, sheep
being allowed access to the turnips
after they have matured. The tur
nips cau feed on almost anythiug in
the soil, and when eaten by sheep the
gaiu of mutton nud manure give the
farmer a profit, but the English
farmer attaches as iftuob. value to the
increased fertility of his soil as he
does to the product which he markets
therefrom. It may be urged, as some
have done, that green crops can add
uo mineral matter to the soil other
than it takes therefrom, which is true;
but such crops render- the mineral
matter available for the next season.
Farmers' Journal.
Scattering Weed Seeds.
In putting down the weeds the first
essential thing is to stop the scatter
ing of the seeds. In the late suuiuior
and autumn seeds are blown about
freely by the wind, and are carried
from one State to another by birds
The ideal way is to cut dowu the weeds
before they go to seed; then neither
birds nor wind cau scatter them. But
while every farmer might do this there
would still be enough weeds loft in
abandoned places aud along the road
sides to keep up the supply.
Quo of the most frequent methods
of spreading weeds is through the use
of mauure that comes from unknown
sources. Manuro that comes from
city stables is invariably free from all
weed seeds, but such fertilizer that
comes from the country is very apt to
.contain the Beeds of noxious weeds
that will germinate and spread as soon
as applied to the laud. The Canada
thistle, pigweed, and innumerable
other pests of this character have
spread throughout the country through
the manure more than by the wind or
railroads. Manure full of weed seeds
is not worth the room it takes up, and
one cannot be too careful iu avoiding
it. Iu the end it will cause more
trouble than it will do good. The
farmer who is so careless and shiftless
as to let weeds grow all over ths ma
nure pile, and go to seed there, does
not deserve to find a customer for it.
Yet this is often the case. Bagweed,
golden-rod and pigweed cover many a
pile of manure in this country, and
there is no effort made to check their
growth before .they go to seed. In
the winter time or early spring this
manure is spread over the cultivated
fields, with the weed seeds in it, aud
the result is easily guessed. With a
little more care a good deal of labor
might be avoided. Weeds should not
be allowed to mature anywhere, least
of all those growing on or near the
manure heap. W. E. rarmer, in
Wisconsin Agriculturist.
Building and Filling a Silo.
For those who want to build a silo
that will hold ten tons of ensilage the
following suggestions are given:
As,the average weight of a cubio foot
of ensilage is estimatod at forty pounds,
a cube ten feet square and five feet
high would be about the size of a ten
ton block of ensilage, but to get this
would require some additional height
when filling, and as the pressure from.
above is necessary to preserve ensilage
in the best condition it is recommended
that the depth of a silo that is not to
be weighted should be at least sixteen
feet.
We would not thiuk of building one
less than ten feet deep, and think that
much better satisfaction would be
given by a silo from twelve to sixteen
feet deep. Taking twelve feet as the
shallowest we would build a building
eight feet square, it would give 768
cubio feet, which is as small as wo
would wish to build, to be sure of teu
tons of preserved silage.
The buildiug may be made of eood
sound, seasoned lumber, balloon frame
In the frame 2x6 or 2x8 scantling may
be used; the ends should be cutsquare
and the junctions securely toe-nailed
with good, round steel spikeu. The
boards for the walls should be sound
1 M
wen seasoned and iree from sap,
Green lumber should not be used
The walls may be given a coating
coal tar or roofing pitch applied hot
If the walls are not more than four
teen feet high 2xd studs will be heavy
enongu if they are placed sixteen
eighteen inches apart from center to
center aud sheathed on the inside with
two thickness of inch boards.
The inside sheathing should bo sur
lace oressen and wnen put ou
should break joints. The sills, two
inches thick and same width as studs
should be laid on a thin bed of cement
mortar aud spiked to anchor blocks iu
the foundation.
The silo should be built npon a well
drained spot eveu if it has to be art
ficially drained to make it dry. No
floor is necessary, simply fill in be
tween the foundation walls till above
the surface outside.
The contents of the silo should he
cut short as run into it. Set the cut
ter as to convey the silage direct from
the maohiue to the silo; distribute the
silage evenly as it falls from the con
veyor, using care to pack the corners
and sides closely. Farm, Field aud

Take Good Tar or Farm Tools.
I have always considered money in
vested in tools as much of a uiau t
aotual capital as that iu live stock or
real estate and the core of one as
essential as the care of the other.
Upon many farms plows, harrows
reapers, etc., are left standing m the
field where used or iu the yard uncov
ered, save perhaps by the rather leaky
root of a tree, uucured for, only as
nature covered each with rust or
mold. And still the cry goes up from
these same farmers of hard times, and
so they will be next year harder thou
ever, when these tools are called into
use and found broken, or worse,
rotted and rusted out, entailing de
lays for repairs when work is press
ing, or the expense of new ones.
The owner of oue farm l visited is
considered a scientific farmer. Aud
so be is as far as preparing tho soil,
growing his crops, and cariug for live
stock is concerned, but more it ends.
I never saw cows slicker or better fed
aud housed; horses whose glossy coats
aud tossiug heads told plainer than
words of plenty of oats and care.
Just out in tho yard, not a stone's
throw from the warm stables, I saw
three plows, two cultivators, spring
tooth harrow, hny rake, and as the
auctioneer s say, "other articles too
numerous to mention," without cover
save the snow which was fast drifting
over them. No lack of storage room
here, for there are unused sheds and
barns on the farm, enough to store
five times the amount. It seemed to
me there was no excuse for such negli
gence, when an hour's work would
have housed them all.
During the time of use many tools
have to be left in the field exposed to
the sun aud rain for days at a time,
but when not in use they should be
sheltered. Aud later in the season or
during the winter each tool should bs
examined, aud put in order for the
coming spring. My plan is as soon
as the hurry of work is over in the
fall, to inspect each tool, and if a plow
or cultivator, to scour the points, etc.,
tighten the nuts, put id new bolts if
necessary, and then with warm Un
seed oil brush over the entire imple
ment, castings aud woodwork.
When springtime comes there is no
guesswork about the tools. They are
ready every time. A farmer can do
much repairing himself if he tries,
and with but few tools. A small stock
of bolts and screws should be kept on
hand, and a few sticks of choice tim
ber for emergencies. The butt of
that young hickory or oak out last
winter, had it been put iu some dry
place, would have been the thing for
some of our repairs and better timber
than is often found at the shops. You
wanted a short whimetree last winter
when you cultivated corn. Make one
now and get it ironed while work ia
not pressing. Take it to the black
smith wnen you take tno teem irpm
the spike-toothed harrow to be sharp
ened, and do not put it out until
springtime. J. H. Bowerman, in
American Agriculturist.
Farm and Garden Note.
Every farm has a place for
sheep
that no other stock can fill.
Thorough nubbins is the surest
way of getting rid of elder, sassafras
and persimmou.
For want of sufficient moisture a
tree may starve with its roots in the
midst of plenty.
Teach the young horses to walk
well, aud a good fouudation is laid fox
the faster gaits.
5 For warts ou horses, clip off ths
wart and touch the place, just touch
it, with nitrio aoid.
One advantage in using the drill or
seed sower is that the seed will be
distributed more evenly.
Always keep the plow sharp; ii
makes better work and is easier for
both the team and plowmau.
Compacting the seed bed before
drilling wheat seems to bo the better
plan on clay as well as on gravelly of
more open soil.
Clover pastured with pigs gives a
better return than if made into hay.
Give the pigs a good pasture into
which to run, and they will be read;
to finish into first-class pork next fall.
It is true that a billy goat is a pro
tection to a flock of sheep at night,
where there are dogs about, but a
wide-awake cow is equally as good,
and she will do especially effective
service if she has a young calf by her
side.

Women In Saloons.
If there Is one thing more than another
calculated to disgust and dishearten the
temperanoe worker It is the eight of wom
en In saloons mothers ot families making
periodical trips for beor. Home of these
women have tho appearauce of extreme
poverty, so muoh so that It is a puszle to
theobserver how they can afford raonoy
for drink. Home stalk boldly iuto the bar
room among drinking, swearing men, as It
unconscious that there ever existed such a
thing as womanly modesty, while others
slluk iu and out furtively, as though
ashamed to be seen in such a place. Home
are old enough to be grandmothers, and
others are youug women upon whom the

There nro many saloons In Boston and
other cities which could not exist were It
not for what Is kuown as their "can" busl

a number of drluklng plaoos would have
to close up for lack of business to keep

who are responsible for what soraeoue

A wrltor In the Chicago Inter-Ocoan says:
"Ot all tho boys in the reform-school at
Pontlao, 111., and in the various reforma
tories about the city, ninety-five per cent,
are the children of parents who died ot
drink, or became criminals through the
same cause. Of the iusauo or demented
cases disposed of, a moderate estimate is
that ninety per cont. are caused by alcohol.
I saw estimated the other day that there
wore 10,000 destitute boys in Chicago who
are not conllnod nt all but are running at
large. I think that It is a small estimate.

Is a direct expense to the community. Gen

the girls and the mothers generally resort
to slums.. The sand-baggers, murderers
and thugs generally ot to-day, who are
prosecuted in the police courts and crim
inal courts, are tho sons of men who foil
victims to drink. The percentage in this
c:ise Is fully sixty-live per cent."
