r hi FARM NOTES. It may be said that the Americans are eminently a .nation of workers. There are comparatively few people of leisure in this country who live on fixed incomes, and wuo do not from neces sity or choice follow some regular call ins or occupation as a means of obtain ing a livelihood or accumulating pro perty. An overwhelming majority of our people are eminently bread win ners whether their labor be mental or what is usually denominated simply muscular; and while wealth and posi tion may command resjiect there is little disposition to show them that cringing deference that is shown in other coun tries to rank and power. The princi ples of our government do not recog nize any privileged classes, and an at tempt to establish social invasions of the rights of the people. This being true there is alignity in labor in this country that is rarely met with else where. Iiere it is not he who works, but he who idles that is the object of scorn, labor usually receives a gen erous reward, and that a majority of the people do not accumulate consider able property by middle life is due to the fact that they are given to gener ous living. The wastefulness of our people has often been commented on. It has been repeatedly asserted that an average European family can live in luxury on what an average American family throws away. It i3 compara tively easy to make money, but our habits are sued that it is very difficult to keep it. There is an oil maxim to the effect that it is not so much what we eat as what we assimilate that makes us fat, and that it is not what we make, but what we save that makes us rich. Exr-EKIJIEXTS OX THE FAKJt. Whatever experiments are to be tried on the farm the coming season, should be carefully considered before the busy season oins; then the f armer will have sufficient time to mature plans neces sary to make the experiment one of value. To try an agricultural experi ment in a manner to make it of any practical value, requires careful thought to establish the plan upon which it is to be tried; it also requires constant watch fulness during the growing season, and a correct measurement at the harvest. Most of experiments, to be of any value, must be so tried as to secure a compari son with methods we arc familiar with, and the value of which we have ascer tained; if we fail to do this the varia tions of seasons ana or sous are sucu that the experiment will prove to be valueless. In field experiments tne lana should be divided into two parts, so that one part shall bo treated in a man ner that we are familiar with; then we shall be able to compare the experi ment with something that we have some knowledge of: thus conclusions can be drawn that may be of some practical value. If we have nothing to compare the experiment with except our judg ment as to what it ought to be, we can derive but very little information of any value. If we expect to succeed as dairymen In the struggle against oleomargarine, etc., we must take the only just course and legislate against dishonest, decep tive sales of anything as a substitute for real butter. "'Without question the right to manufacture and sell on its merits and under its true name any healthful arti ;le ought not to be distur bed. If psople prefer to buy the Imita tion when fully apprized of its true na ture, and will believe that they get higher value for their money in butter ine than in butter, then butter must go to the wall. So let us have a law, and have it enforced, requiring the true name on every article that might be mistaken for true butter, whether It be butterlne tinged with butter or butter i'ilterated with butterirw'-jg--Yrnj I cr meries- are cbargC?. .-juig, latt'led with its IusL-Ealtimgs, PVery package sold. With honest manufac turers and honest sale3, dairymen can stand the competition without fear. KEEr THE Cows CLEAX. If the cow3 have their flanks lined with man ure, as too many of them have at this time of year, you should select a warm day and secure a few pailfuls of hot water tojarry to the birn and wash off those flanks. Soak the manure well, using a sponge or rag, before you pro ceed to scrape it off or all the hair will come with it. KemembT that the first noint to be attained in securing a good yield of milk from a cow is to make her comfortable. This can never be done so long as she is compelled to carry a large weight of manure on her flanks, and then it looks so abominably. Xo one would ever buy milk coming from such an animal if they knew it. Ix managing live stock a main thing Is to look to the comfort of the animaL Xo animal thrives at the same time that it is co'.d and uneasy, while a quiet appearance is a sure indication of thrift. Wheu the observing farmer sees a restless and uneasy animal he may know something is wrong: he will treat it to remove the cause if he studies his best interests. We do not maintain but that some animals are by their very na tures restless under any treatment: such will be found unthrifty and had better be weeded out, unless perhaps there is some chance of reforming them. - Rotten corn-cobs are said to be a valuable fertilizer on any soil that is deficient in potash, and their value is much enhanced by being rotted with other manure. In cleaning up hog pens, therefore, care should be taken to collect all the cobs and mix them with the other refuse. A hex is a voracious bird; if allowed to, it will consume five whole pecks of corn or its equivalent, m a year. This Is paying too high a price for eggs, and if fowls can "pick" their way through the summer they ought to be made todo so in the winter. Do not give oyster shells to the hens; burn them up for manurial purposes and feed the hens broken egg-shells !n steaL. Then when they cannot get them otherwise, they will eat their eggs and thus save you the trouble of search ing for them in the hay-mow or under the barn. Be sure that your poultry have no loose sand or ashes near their quarters. Otherwise, they will take what the book fanners call a sand-bath, and kick up an awful dust, which will be unpleas ant for you. Ix the Zufcertort-Steinitz chess-match, and in the Schaefer-Vignaux billiard match, where does the Yankee come in? lie comes in at the door, if he can't crawl through a window. One of the most common weeds in al southern and western Texas is the trompillo (Solanum ekagnifoUum), whose black berries when ripe have the remarkable property of curdling milk, though they disclose no acid reaction. The Mexicans crush the frnlt, put it into a muslin bag, and submerge this in a pan of milk until coagulation has taken place. Bronzing Liquid. 5 parts of aniline red; 5 parts of aniline purple: dissolve in 100 parts of strong alcohol on ' a water bath, and the solution, after the addition ot 5 parts of benzoic acH, boiled for 5 or 10 minutes until it ha-; changed its greeuish color to light bronze brown. Applied with a brush upon leather, metal or wool the liquid produces a magnificent bronze coat lag. The Blue Envelope. "The blue enveloiw lias len the em blem of misery m the Xew York Cen tral since lsijx," .said a conductor on that lino whose service has extended over a period of twenty-five years. A train on which a reporter was going west the other day was in his charge. The story he told of the origin of the envelop beguiled the tedium of the journey. '"It was twenty-five or thirty years ago," he said, reflectively, ''when to le a conductor was to have a Wrth which was sure to land you safely into a com petency. Of course I don't mean to my that the opportunities for what is called 'knocking down' made the differ ence, although there were dishonest men among us then as now. Hut the times for ten years preceding the war were lusher than they lmve lieen since. Peo ple were not so careful alKmt the change. Almut half the travelers used to ny their fare on the trains, as it was not tho rule then to liave gatekeeiiers and door temlers. That, like the duplex coupon, is a modern innovation of railroad traf fic. The old timers liave told me that niany's the day that they have had over IKiy to the extent of $3 and f 10. Pas sengers were in the liabit of handing the conductor a bill for their fare and asking no change. It was the custom i and all conductors recognized it. With-: out robbing the company a picayune he could make nice wages off these per quisites. And nothing was thought of accepting thein. The conductors in the early days were a higher-toned lot of men than they are ti-day. tx there was no disgrace in accepting these little ex tras. The through trains to New York and l ack again were the best to have. I knew a conductor who used to run out of Alliany south, before the Hudson Kiver consolidated, who got rich in seven years. He lives at l'oughkecpsie in elegant style, although an old man over hi years. I don't believe he ever stole a cent. They tell me that along about Wi the road w;is overrun, however, with fellows who used to di vide with the company. From Alliany to lluffalii their families are to-day liv ing on the fat of the land. A good story is told of one of this crowd, now a resident of Kocheslcr. He had been on the road alxmt five years, when one day he received a dispatch saying his presence was urgently desired in Xew York. Proceeding there ho found that Commodore Yanderbilt sought the in terview. The old fellow was as cross as blazes that morning. "So you are Conductor So and So?" he said, as he sized up his man. "Yes, Commodore," was the reply. "How long have you been running on my road?" "Five years.'' 'Humph! And you carry a better watch than I do," the Commodore said, spying a ponderous chain on the vest of his employe. 'It isn't, is it?" said the conductor, coolly removing it and exhibiting a timepiece that he said had cost him a round S-"."i. 'They tell me you have a farm just outside of Itochester?" said the Com modore quizzingly. "So they say. It's a pretty fine piece of projierty. as you may guess, for I paid ?l,uini for it without a building on it a year ago." "Keep any horses?" 'XoIkmIv in liochestcr can give me their dust w hen I'm up behind my pair," was the proud rejoinder. "Five years on the railroad," medi tated the railroad king, "and how much of this show diii you have five years ago?" "Xary a bit. Why, I borrowed nionev to get from Rochester to Svra- cuse to ask Superintendent Crittenden for a job." "Don't you call tliat stealing?" "o. sir," said our friend, knowing by this time tliat his days were num bered and getting independent in con sequence, "and what is more you don't. It will cost you as much again to tell me that it is." "The next day he got a blue envelope. From tliat day to this the color has never varied. The eomiany liad several lawsuits, I believe, for having discharg ed conductors under suspicion. The blue envelo was hit upon by Yander bilt to avoid trouble. A line inside states that further services are not re quired. When the conductors first be gan to get them they used to demand an explanation. Xever was one gratified. 'The blue envelop' lias its meaning was the only reply. They liave been rather scarce for the past three years. I see that several have been distributed lately. Xo one c;m tell whose turn will come next.' Barbers' Poles. "The styles of barliers poles have changed considerably in the last few years," said an old painter recently. "I remember the time very well when you never saw anything but the old red and white strijies sort, but nowadays they paint them all sorts of colors. See there, for instance," and he poiHted to a corner ot the shop where stood a small pole resplendent in gold and black. I "That pole is for a shop on Ridge ! avenue." he continued. ain! w as or- dered by a colored man, who said he wanted sonething 'that would catch the J eye ob the least observin" of mankind.' j xuout a iiioiiiii i;o a i it one imil painted blue and covered with gilt stars. It went somewere on Xorth Second street, anil cost the Uirlier $23; but as a rule they don't pay more than $ or S3 for a good sized ntl and w hite jxiledone up in the liest jxtssililc style." "Barber's poles," said thelioss knight of the razor in a leading down-town shop, "are an institution several hun dred years old. and in former times liar bers acted as surgeons, and the twisted and white riblxms are symlxilical of the winding of a strip of linen alxmt a bleeding arm." The existence of barliers as professors of the healing art in England can lie traced as far lack as the reign of Ed ward IV, in 1401. when they were first incorporate!, and from then till the reign of Henry VIII, when they were united with the surgeons, until the time of George II, when they ceased to be anything but barliers as we now under stand the term. In the latter reign an act was passed, from the preamble of which it is learned that not until then had the discovery been made tliat the business or trade of a barber was "foreign to and independent of the prac tice of surgery," and it proceeds to dis solve the connection between the two bodies, and they liave lieen separated ever since, but it was a long time before tie barbers gave up cupping and leech ing as a part of their work. Xow and then a barrier will yet lie found who carries on the ancient branch of his profession. LyaU estimated that the gorge of Niagara River was cut in about 35,000 years, but surveys to determine the pre sent rate of recession of the falls indi cate that the work may have been done in 10,000 years. Daring forty-one rears the average annual wear of the rock was two and three quarters feet. Office Mucilage. Gum Arabic, clean fbrnp, 1 ounces; glycerine, concentra ted, 2 teaspoonfuls; boiling water, 1 gill. If too thick, add a little more water; this mucilage will keep in sum mer without molding. But little men do perceive what soli- j tude is, and how far it extends. For a crowd is no company; men's laces are bat like pictures in a gallery, and talk but a tinkling cymbal, where there la tO love. HOUSEHOLD. Oyster Culture ix CnixA. My attention was specially called to the stalls of the fishmongers, who not only have river and sea fish, salt and fresh. In great abundance, but nn excellent store of bamboo oysters; and if you wonder what they are, I might as well explain that artificial oyster culture is largely practiced on this coast, and a bamboo oyster field is prepared far more carefully than a Kentish hop garden. Holes are bored In old oyster shells,and these aie stnek into and on pieces of split bamboo, about two feet in length, which are then planted quite close to gether on mud flats between high and low water mark, but subject to strong tidal currents. This Is supposed to bring the oyster spat, which adheres to the old shells,and sliortly.ilevelopes into tiny oysters. Then the bamboos are transplated and set some six inches apart, until within six months of the first planting they are found to be cov ered with well grown oysters, which are then collected for the market. The oyster shells are turned to very good account, being scraped down till they are as thin as average glass, when they are neatly fitted together so as to form ornamental windows such as we see in the inner courts of wealthy house i. Fob making candy the best granu- sugar should be used if conSectioc er's sugar is not, though it is but a trifle more expensive. Home-made candy not only affords amusement in the making, but is sure to be pure and wholesome. A new receipt is given for making nut candy, that has been tested. To two cups of granulated sugar and one of boiling water, add one large tablespoonful of butter. Boil till it readily candies when dropped in cold water. Then remove from the fire and stir in nearly two cups of Brazil nuts, cut up small, and one tablespoonful of Royal lemon flavoring. Pour out upon three large buttered plates to cooL Al ways use a silver spoon In stirring candy. Home-made candy is a very desirable adjunct to the dessert, and consoles the children when deprived ot the pastries or puddings that prove so attractive to them. Milk should not be taken in copious draughts, like baer orotherfluids which differ from it chemically. If we con sider the use of milk in infancy, the physiological indigestion, that is, of food provided for it, each small mouth ful is secured by effort and slowly pre sented to the gastric mucous surface for the primal digestive stages. It is thus regularly and gradually reduced to curd, and the stomach is cot op pressed with a lump of half -coagulated milk. The same principle should be regarded in thecase of the adult. Milk should be slowly taken in mouthfuls, at short intervals, and thus it is rightly dealt with by the castric juice. If inilk be taken after other food it is al most sure to burden the stomach and cause discomfort and prolonged indi gestion, and this for the obvious reason that there is not sufficient digestive agency to dispose of it; and the better the quality of the milk, the more severe the discomfort under these conditions. Old straw hats form a pretty re septacle for carrying work around in. The .Leghorn flats are the best to make use of, although any large shade hat can be made to answer the purpose. The outside of the brim is covered with a trailing spray of wild roses, marguer ites, and forget-me-nots worked in the long Kensington stitch, a band of rib bon is passed around the crown and tied in a bow on the side. A bag top of satin is sewed to the inside of the brim and drawn in at the top with narrow ribbons, which also serve to carry it on the arm; the inside of the crown should be neatly lined with a piece of the satin used for the bag top. Gateau op Apples. Put into a sauce pan a half pint of water, together with a half a pound of leaf sugar. Let it boil, and when it becomes a thick syrup, bave some tart apples pared, cored, and sliced, and add a pound of these to the syrup, flavoring the mix ture with the zest and juice of a lemon. Allow it to boil, stirring it constantly when the mass becomes thick presi it into a damp mold, and when thoroughly set turn it out on a dish; pour a rich custard around it and serve. When linen has turned yellow, cut up a pound of fine white soap into a gallon of milk, and hang it over a fire in a wash kettle. When the snap has completely melted, put in the linen and boil it half an hour, then take it out Have ready a lather of soap and water; wash the linen in it, and then rinse it through two cold waters, with a very little blue in the last. A Baxxer Lamp Shade. Many who cannot endure the glare of the lamp or the gas light in their eyes, will find a little banner not only a pretty or nament for the table, but really a great comfort. The stands can be bought for fifty or sixty cents, and the banner may be made as the taste suggests. Some are very elaborate, with painting and embroidery, others are much plant er. a very serviceable one is made oi a piece of handsome ribbon, which af fords enough decoration in itself; it is fringed out an inch frmpa the bottom and has a band of velvet ribbon sewed on it just above the part fringed. A narrow hem is placed across the top, and it Is attached to rings with silk, the color of the ribbon. Strained IIoney. Beekeepers should impress on the minds of their customers that extracted is far superior and nothing like the old strained honey. X'otone person in fifty understands that by machinery specially prepared for the purpose the comb is rapidly re volved, and the honey is thrown out or the cells and the combs replaced in the hive to be filled again, and again ex tracted. This gives pure honey; not strained honey containing dead bees, bee bread, scraps of comb, etc. Dr. Mazzotti tells of a man who had a scorbutic affection, which he set about to cure with whiskey. He got well of this trouble, but became a hard-drinker, and soon found himself tUe victim ot a rare disease called opisthoporia. This curious affection consists in inability to walk forward. When the patient was told to advance, he used every effort to do so, but could only succeed in going backward, and he continued to do so until he died. Bernard Vegetable Pills.
