FACTS FOR FARMERS. AGBICIXT17AL NOTES AXD HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. Cow to Hake Farm Work Easier and Home Erighte, The number of flowers at this scasol of the year is small, and the tempta tion to relax in the labor of keeping th garden in order is strong. But a well kept place, be the flowers few or none, will be more attractive than when there re many flowers and all their sur roundings marked by carelessness and neglect. Some of our winters have but little snow, and in such seasons the well kept lawn, with a judicious display of tvcrpTeens, will gratify the eye of the Ia3or-by. One of the first essentials to a lawn is grass. The cool nighis which now foUaw the warm days are favorable to the growth of grass. At this time we wioh no other promoter than an abundant growth of roots, in order that the gras may survive the winter vrithout injury. AVith this end in view, the grass should not be cut too closely. Ppring-flowering bulbs, such as tulips hyacinths, narcissus, crocus, and several others, should be planted us soon as they can be obtained. If merely effects of color are desired, and narres are not important, "aborted'' bu lbs may be obtai ned at a very low rate at wholesale. As a general rough rule for out-door bulbs, put them as far below the surface of the soil as the thirkuoss of the bulb, placing them as far apart as the bulbs are wide. Grapes, at present, are marketed n immeuee qualities, in packages of from Jive to ten pound; the style varying greatly in the different markets. The next move will be improvement in tii.ilify. Grape culture has a great future; not only iu the way of wine making and raisins, but in grapes the fruit. The raising of European grapes in Florida and other Southern states, for shipment to Northern markets, is ji a promising stage of experiment. The promise for late fruits is abun dant. As village and larger markets become more abundant, the earlier ap ples and other perishable fruits have been largely planted, and the markets are already glutted with them. It is a problem to know how to disposo of these fruits. Already the inventors have produced several "evaporators" and "fruit-drxvers" of a size that will allow perishable early apples and other fruits to be converted into a form available for common use by employ ing the unskilled labor of tle family. -.- " '"" The early part of September is a favorable season for planting new strawberry bed-, and wherever tha grmnd can be put in proper condition it i far better to plant now than to defer this work until next spring. If gttod pitted plants can be procured at rca-unable prices, these are prefer able for tl.e family fruit garden, as failure is hardly possible if ordinary care be given them; but even with or diuury ground layers, there should be but lnue loss of plants this season. Farm Notes. Pet ont celery plants as 60on as the plants are large enough. Dry onions well and store in a cool, airy place, if not sold at once. TuU up large weeds that appear among the squash vines; do not allow them to take root. Mice are very fond of some bulbs, and this should be kept in mind iu atoring for winter. Do not allow late weeds to get a foothold, and repair the surface with fresh gravel when needed. Keep sweet potatoes free from weeds, and move the vines often enough to prevent rooting at the joints, -r It is well to remember that the future of any bulb depends upon its making a good growth after flowering. There fore encourage the leaf growth. F.gg plants are great feeders, and like a frequent dose of liquid manure. As the fruit gets large place under it a wisp of straw or hay, to keep it fim the ground. With all animals that are to be fat tened the feeding should begin early, while the pasturage is still good Flesh is laid on more rapidly now than in cold weather. . . Every lover of sweet corn should have an abundance until frost. Sow tha early sorts every ten days. If the last sowing fails to give good ears, the fodder will pay for the trouble. Some quick-growing crops, likt Iltingariau millet, may help piece out a short hay orop. Use some quick-art. ing fertilizer. If in danger of early frosts, cut the fodder corn and cure rapidly. Of some sorts of melons a large share of the fruit sets too late to ripen before frost. Cutting these off will help the rest of the crop. A mulch of straw or bog hay will keep the fruit from the ground, and hasten lipeu ing. Celery should be making rapid growth by giving it clean culture. If celery is wanted at this season a por tion of the most advanced rows maybe earthed up. but the main supply should not be earthed up before the approach of cold weather. IVm is making large efforts to si imu late her agricultural industries. Under anew law which has just gone into ell'eet, no duties will be charged on animals imported for breeding pur poses, on agricultural machinery of al kinds and on seeds and plants. The "White Grub is often d. tractive by eating off the roots of the grass. This is the larval state of the. "dune bug," or beetle. It has years of special abundance, and it is well to trap the beetle at night by means ol hunps placed over vessels of water. Leaves should be raked up or swep from the lawu and paths and drives, p.c, not only for the negligent at) they impart if allowed to remain, but for the sake of the leaves themselves. For the same rctson but especially for the leaves rake them up from the highway. Sow kale or German preens and spinach; wheji large enough thin, and allow the rest to remain until spring. Iu cold localities protect with straw or litter. Gladiolus. In taking up choice named varieties, carefully save the bulblets of the size of peas or up wards. They should he dried off and placed in paper bags Targe and small together with labels and stored in a k room, free from frost. One usually likes to save bis owu seed of tomatoes. Select the earliest, ripest and best shaped ; place the pulp in a vessel and cover with water; al low it to 6tand watching frequently until fermentation has destroyed the slimy matter that surrounds the seeds, when they may be readily washed clean and dried. In New Zealand, where rabbits art a great pest, they are poisoned with malt, sown in furrows, as turnip seeds would be sown; they feed at dusk and in the early morning. In a fort night 10,000 rabbiu were destroyed with only eight bushels of poisoned malt, on the Glen Erin estate, near Kyneton. Cheese-making on Sunday is creat ing some adverse criticism in New Brunswick. The dairymen explain to the good, but uninformed church people who object, that the practice is a necessity, as the milk will not Keep well over the lull of the babbath day. The practice is not common in our own dairy sections. A " fruit silo" is an excellent idea adopted from Italy into orange-grow ing countries. The fruit is cut from the tree (not pulled) and wrapped in tissue paper; it is then buried in sand, three tiers deep only, and the wrappers not touching. This method has fine results in the preservation of fresh fruit for a time of scarcity. Cows should be dried off in time to go dry from one to two months before comi ng in . J erseys especially are diffi cult to dry off. Many of them, in spte of all efforts, keep up the flow of milk until the very day of calving. Corn meal and other heating food sfcould be withheld from cows for sev eral weeks before calving, for fear of milk fever. Ewes have a period of about on Hundred and fifty days. If early lambs are desired, preparations should be made accordingly. A cross with Southdowus, Hampshire, or Shropshire ram with a Merino ewe is preferable to one with Cotswold or other long wooled ram. Though the latter gives a much larger lamb, it is Inferior in quality of flesh. & Tomatoes. The long green worm will continue to work as long as there is anything for it to eat. Pick off and kill. It can neither bite nor sting. If green tomatoes are desired for pickles secure them before frost. If many partly-ripened fruits are likely to be caught by the frost, gather the most promising, and place in a green house or in a sunny window. The neatness of flower beds and borders will depend upon the use of stakes for all plants that need them. Many use the painted stakes sold for the purpose, because they thiuk they 'look pretty" with their white heads upon a green stake. "When properly used, the stakes themselves should not be seen, and the fairly straight stems of bushes answer as well as anything Labor is carefully classified on French farms. Laborers are usually hired by the year, and in addition to their wages are given the use of a cheap house, with potatoes, some grain and a bit of land for a garden. The average wages received by head farm ers last year were $81 for the year and found; herdsi. n and shepherds, $56; workmen and cheese-makers. Sh6: or dinary farm bauds, $59, and women servants $47. Further evidence of the profitable ness of the live stock industry in Hon duras is found in the experience of the Belgium Consul-General, who has been engaged in it for some years. lie pro nounces it a sure investment, and say it pays fifty per cent, per annum. Native horses can also be bought very cheaply, and there is a demand for thoroughbred or improved horse stock, so that horse studs are destined to br very profitable. A superior system of forestry is in operation by the government of Cape Colony, whereby the axe is applied to forests in sections and sub-divisions, and never to a re-growth until it has attained perfect maturity, a period which has been fixed at forty years. Arbor day has been introduced, and is as enthusiastically observed as it is in Nebraska, the State in which Arboi day originated. Plants that are set out for the snm- r should not be forgotten. "Water as needed. The hot sun upon the pots will bake the ball of earth, to the great injury of the roots. If former advice, to make any repairs to green bsuses, heating apparatus, as well as laying in needed supplies, has not been heeded, delay no longer. For window plants a light cellar makes an admira ble potting shed and store-room, as well as the best place to keep tender plants that are resting. Fasteur's system of inoculation foi anthrax and splenetic apoplexy is be ing successfully introduced on a large scale in New South Wales. The ex periments have been so successful that many stock owners are anxious to have their sheep vaccinated at once. Pas teur's agents offer to vaccinate sheep at the rate of six cents per head, of which four cents is for Pasteur's roy alty, and two cents for the necessary expenses. At these figures, vaccina tion must prove pretty profitabJ to the operators. . Asparagus. Do not allow the top to be cut for decorative purposes to any great extent; as long as they re main green they are necessary to nour ish next season's crop. Apply coarse manure to the bed whenever it can be spared, but be sure to get it on before winter. Aspanv;us, considering the constant demand for it io Northern cities, and the ease with which it is transported, is a most profitable crop for Southern farmers to ship to North ern cities. It is astonishing that so few bave availed themselves of the prospective profit it offers.

Anil wliat will the robin do thpn. poor thlngT He will sit iu thf barn to kep hlms-ll warm Aud lildn himself uuder bis wing, poor thing I" He started for the door before he hal hardly finished, but his mother called him back to hear little February, who was the smallest in the family, and who recited in a little shrill voice: "Thirty days hath September April, June and November. All tfce rest have thirty-one r-xceptine February alone Who natli but four and twenty-four Till leap-year j;lves her one day more." This made the old gentleman laugb till he choked, for he had divided the days himself, and as they did not come ont even, he thought February would not care if she did n't bave quite as many as the other months, she wasso good na tured, and now to have it put in rhyme seemed very funny. March never could learn easily so be did not know anything to speuk, bnt his mother suggested that he should whistle, as whistling was now very fash sion able. He imitated the wind, anddid it so perfectly that Father Time pound ed with his stout stick on the floor and said, "my! what a rough night it is go ing to be." You never could tell what April would do, so no one was sur prised when she hopped up from her seat, made a pretty curtsy to the school master and said as quickly as she could rattle it off. "April showers, brine forth May flowers." And sat down with a flirt of her vio let gown. Her mother was mortified at her not saying more, for she knew any number of beautiful verses that had been written about her, being a great favorite with the poets, but perhaps it was juist as well, for blue-eyed May re cited a long poem by Tennyson, every verse of which ended: "For I'm to be Queen of the May, mother, I'm to be Uueeu of the May." It was very touching and the school master, at its conclusion, wiped away a tear. June was the beauty of the family. She would never wear shabby clothes and to-night looked Iteautiful in a rose- colored mantel dotted with butterfly wings. She threw a kiss to the admir ing visitor and said: "The rose Is red. The violet blue. The pink is sweet And so are you." This certainly was not the proper way to treat such a dignified elderly person, bnt will you believe me, he seemed to enjoy it and actually threw a kiss back, which made July and August laugh so heartily that their mother was afraid they could not sing their duet in which they imitated the katydids and crickets, but they did sing it, and sang it beautifully too, and it was followed bytheir tall brother September's song "The Mocking Bird," in the chorus of which all ioined. "It was In the mild September. I remember, I remember." October's sonjj was "Harvest Home," November recited Hood's poem "No vember" and jolly December ended the entertainment with: "Twas the night before Christmas." And when he finished the school master declared he had not made such a pleasant call in a great while end again told Mother Nature that he be lieved there was never such a fine fani ily as hers. H.

A Glimpse of His Investment at last. I heard the other day a curious illus tration of the way in which people of a speculative turn are led to invest money in enterprises of which they know hardly more than the name. A Boston man was camping out in the wilds of New Hampshire at a place which he and his party had reached by a tramp of several days through the pathless forest. While enjoyine his rest around a Are which had been made by logs from a great tree, cut down bv one of the guides, a party of men came along and stopped to have a chat with himself and friends. After a tak about the weather and the fishing, m of the neweomcrs said jocosely, "Dc you know you are liable to a lino fit trespassing on this woodland, cutting down trees and burning up the lo"-s?" He added that the property belonged to a certain land company, the shares of which were at one timo auotrrl nn the Boston Stock Exchange. As soon as the other man heard the name of the land company he said: "Well. I nr.vrr expected to get cent out of that com pany, and this is the first timo that I nave heard where its land is." The speaker by chance had camped out on land of a company in which he had invested years before and had never known it location till it was suggested to him at this meeting in the primitive forest.
