WOMAN'S INTUITION. Nearly Alwmjra Rt«bt t» Her Jndgment la Regard ta Common Thing*. An old gentleman over seventy, came into the city from bis farm, without his overcoat. The day turned chilly and he was obliged to forego his visit to the fair. To a friend who remonstrated with him for going away from home thus unprepared, he said: "I thought it was going to be warm: my wife told me to take my overcoat, but I wouldn't. Women have more sense than men anyway." A frank admission. Women's good sense is said to come from intuition; may it not be that they are more close observers of little things. One thing is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on the head, in all the ordinary problems of life, more frequently than the lords of croation. "According to Dr. Alice Bennett, who recently read a paper on Bright's disease be fore the Pennsylvania State Medical (Society, persons subject to bilious attacks and sick headaches, who have crawling sensations, like the flowing of water iu the head, who are 'tired all the time' aud have unexplained attacks of sudden weakness, may well lie sus pected of dangerous tendencies in the direc tion of Bright's disease." The veteran newspawr correspondent, Jos Howard, of the New York Prens, in noting this statement, suggests: "Possibly Alice is correct in her diagnosis, but why doesn't she give some idea of treatment? I know a man who has been 'tired all the time' for ten years. Night before last he took two doses of calomel and yesterday he wished ho hadn't." A proper answer is found in the following letter of Mrs. Davis, wife of Rev. Wm. J. Davis, of Basil, 0., June 21st, 1890: "I do not hesitate to say that I owe my life to Warner's Safe Cure. 1 had a constant hemorrhage from my kidneys for more than five months. The physicians could do noth ing for me. My husband spent hundreds of dollars and I was not relieved. I was under the careof the most eminent medical men in the State. The hemorrhage ceased before I had taken one 1 Kittle of the Safe Cure. I can safely and do cheerfully recommend it to all who are sufferers of kidney troubles." The average length of life is greater in Norway than in any other country of Europe. This is attributed to the fact that the temperature is so generally uniform, ami it is cool throughout the year. __________ The amount of life insurance in Ger many, as reported by thirty-eight com panies, was $942,500,000 at the close of 1889; and the new insurance written that year amounted to $86,625,000. The hop crop of Lane County, Oregon, is estimated at 700,000 pounds for the year 1890. Lee Wa's Chinese Headache Cure. Harm less in effect, quick and positive ill action.

To ascertain the approximate weight of of a haystack an English authority says: Multiply the length of the stack by its breadth, and multiply the result by its height, all in feet, divide the product by twenty-seven, which will give the num-, ber of cubic yards; this multiply by six, if new hay; if oldish, by eight or nine, and the product will be the weight in stones. In measuring the height deduct two-thirds cf the distance in feet from the eaves to the top. PLANTING IN AN OLD ORCHARD. Orchardists have usually asserted that young trees would not thrive if planted in the same place where an old one of the same kind had grown and died of old age or otherwise, although nature has been replanting her forests in this way for many thousands of years. There is no good reason for supposing that an old apple tree leaves anything in the soil that should be injurious to a young tree planted in its place, and we would not hesitate for a moment to replace old trees of any kind with new ones. If ihe land is old and its fertility exhaused, fertilizers should, of course, be applied in sufficient quantities to insure a vigor ous growth of young trees. It's an old theory that a new orchard should never be planted on the site of an old one, but it does not hold good in practice.— New York Sun. WHITEWASH FOR POULTRY HOUSES. A capital whitewash is made by mix ing common, water limo cement with sweet, skimmed milk to the proper con sistency. The following is the Govern ment whitewash, and a fine whitewash it is: Put two pailfuls of boiling water in a barrel; add one half of a bushel of well burned, fresh quicklime; putin quickly one peck of common salt, dis solved in hot water, and cover the barrel tightly to keep in the steam while the iime is slacking; when the violent ebul lition is over, stir till well mixed to .jether, and, if necessary, add more boil ng water, so as to have the mass like hick cream, strain through a sieve or oarse cloth. Mnke a thin starch of three ounds of rice flour and one pound of rong glue, having first soaked the glue i cold water, and to the latter mixture .tdd two pounds of whiting. Add this to the lime wash, and also sufficient hot ■vater to dilute to the proper consistency; keep hot while applying. It will require about six quarts of the mixture to 100 square feet of surface, and it will last re markably well. It goes without saying, hat it may be made any color deßired. Farm and Fireside. KEEP THE COWS CLEAN. With cows constant attention to the cleanliness of the skin is indispensable to the purity of the milk. These animals generally eicape iujury to health from causes which would be fatal to other animals because the poison is carried off with the milk. And in dairies where cleanliness is not observed as it should bo the evaporation from the milk, which collects on the covers of the pails in which the milk is set for cream, or which may be gathered upon a sheet of glass laid over a shallow pan of milk freshly drawn from a cow, will deposit a quan tity of liquid of an intolerably foul odor. If one will test the milk of cows kept in filthy stables, and upon whose sides filth is permitted to collect in adherent flakes, in this way, the foulness will be very ap parent. This odor has been called some times the animal odor and has been thought to be inseparable from the cow. This is wholly untrue. It is the odor of filth, which has every characteristic of manure, and which is discharged with the milk because it could not escape through the skin, which is the natural outlet for it, and by which it would es cape freely and imperceptibly if the skin were kept clean and in healthful action by means of thorough carding and brush ing every day.— New York Timet. WEIGHTING A WAGON. Ten years ago a man drew me a load of hay in spring, roads very rough and muddy, and fully two-thirds cf the load was on the forward wheels, because he wanted to give the team all the advan tage possible, as the roads were so soft and the wheels cut in so." lie was as tonished that I should differ, and when I told others of my surprise I was dumb founded to find nine out of ten agreeing with him. They "knew by experience" that the nearer the load to the team, the easier it would draw, and that the large cast-iron thimble-axle moved a load over rough roads easier than a small steel axle. After this I was led to notice loaded wagons; one day I counted thirty eight loads of grain in bags going to market, and not one of them was loaded heaviest behind, and such has been my observation everywhere. With potatoes the box is filled and the extra bags piled on forward, also salt, nails, and such heavy goods are put forward, and the lighter and more bulky behind. I re gard such loading as great a physical heresj as that the horse that lags behind does the most work. "It is true that the closej- the load to the team the easier it will draw, "if it is a log on the ground, but put it on wheels and be the roads smooth or rough, it makes little differ ence, and a long tongue gives the team an advantage on roads.— The Husbandman. DRESSING AND SHIPPING POULTRY. In reply to several queries in relation to preparing and shipping poultry for market we cannot do better, perhaps, than give the directions of one of the leading commission firms of New York to their patrons. They say: To insure they highest market prices for poultry the birds must be well fattened; crops empty when killed; nicely and well picked and skin not broken or torn; thoroughly cooled, but frozen. Pack in boxes with a layer of clean straw (rye straw is the best) between the layers of poultry in the same posture in which, the birds roost. Mark each box, specifying what it contain*. Send invoice by mail. Ship to reach destination about the mid dle of the week—never to arrive as late as Saturday. In New York city three is an ordinance that specifies that neither chickens or turkeys shall be offered for sale unless the crops are free from food. While poultry for New York and some other markets is seldom if ever drawn, that de signed for Boston and other New Eng land markets is relieved of the entrails when killed. It is important, therefore, that producers should learn previous to shipping just what their special market requires. This information may bo ob tained by writing direct to one's commis sion merchant for instructions. Many firms have printed circulars containing directions, which are sent out on written application. Whenever practicable, ship chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc., in sepa rate packages. In sending poultry for the holidays endeavor to have your ship ments reach their destination three or four days in advance. Bear in mind that the big demand for fine, large tur keys comes at Thanksgiving, and that prime geese catch the fancy prices at Christmas. Soon after January prices go up again. Capons meet a good market from the Ist of February oa.until about Easter.— Neu> York World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Don't your well need cleaning! Choose a cool day for picking apples. Keep right on cultivating the straw berry patch. • Fight weeds, briers, etc., until they cease growing. Now is a good timo to make mutton as well as pork. Put implements under cover as soon ai done using them. For permanent pasture, timothy* does not do well alone. The best egg-maker ie good food. Feed the hen no other. The same fence should not enclose a young orchard and cattle. Get your ground ready for those trcei you mean to set out this fall. Save seed from any novelties thathave proved satisfactory with you. Harvest the onions as soon as ripe. When dry rftoro in a cool, dry place. Black cap raspberries do better set out in the spring. Put others out this fall. Stop cultivating the grape vines. The wood must be given a chance to harden. Put no "wind falls" in the barrels ol No. 1 apples. It will pay in the long run. If there is marsh hay nearyou get som« in readiness for covering the straw berries. Currant and gooseberry cuttings will do better set out now thau to wait till spring. Try it and see. Begin your intense.farming this fall by burning all the weeds about the place be fore they shell their seeds. If you can put out some grape vinei this fall do not wait till spring, you may be crowded with work then. You need not wait till the frost drops the leaves from currant and gooseberry bushes before making cuttings. Where are the mower and horsorakef Better have them housed to-day. They will be of better value next season if they are. While the corn is curing in the shock is a good time to get out the manure that has been accumulating during the sum mer. By tho way, do you make your wife an equal partner in the ui plans? She may be the "better hu of the firm if you will. Every farmer should look over hii farm often and examine his fences so that his stock will not destroy his crops or be found in his neighbor's lot. When a man wants an idea, hi scratches his head. When a farmer want* a crop he scratches his land, and the harder he scratchos the better the crop. Don't let any green tomatoes goto waste. Apples are scarce and green tomatoes make excellent pies—are good fried, are good several ways. Save them. Very often the surplus product of a farm can not be more profitably iu vested than by putting into under drains, till the thorough drainage of the cultivated land be accomplished. Where thorough and clean culture ha* been practiced one can see how the crops lay hold of the fertilizers and are corre spondingly larger. It pays to be energetic in fighting the weeds. The size of the tile should be in pro portion to the length of the drain and the amount of fall in the ditch. But th< flooding of a drain tile depends somewhal on the depth to which it is sunk. A correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer complains that- on his farm manure has been a detriment rather than a help to his crops. The number ol farmers that have this experience is very small. Flax seed that has been exposed in the field to the sun's ray's until it is dry to brittlenegs, still holds a latent moisture, which will develop when the seed is con fined in a mass and result in heat and de composition. A farmer should take care to keep easy and safe ways of ingress and egress to bis culitvated fields. More wagons are broken down by going through deep fur rows or over ridges than by twice the travel on smooth highways. It is time that western farmers were taking warning from the experience ol their eastern brethern. When they are under the necessity of buying fertilizer* to keep up the fertility of their lands they will sing a more doleful song than they do now. A silver-plated shovel was used to re move the first earth that marks the be ginning of work on the Niagara Rivei tunnel, which is to be constructed for tho purpose of utilizing the power of Niag ara Fall* Buffalo Herds a Half Century Ago. I think I cau truly say, writes General John Bidwcll in the November Century, that I saw in that region in one day more buffaloes than I have seen of cattle in all my life. I have seen the plain black with them for several days' journey as far as the eye could reach. They seemed to be coming northward con tinually from the distant plains to the Platte to get water, and would plunge in and swim across by thousands—so numerous were they that they changed not only the color of the water, but its taste, until it was unfit to drink; but we had to use it. One night when wo were eacamped on the South Fork of the Platte they came in such droves that wo bad to sit up and fire guns and make what fires we could to keep thorn from run ning over us and trampling us into the dust. Wo could heur them thundering nil night long; the groutd fairly trembled with vast approaching bands; and if they had not been diverted, wagons, animals and emigrants would have been trodden under their feet. AN extraordinary advance in the Use of co coa seems tohat-o takeu place of late years in England. Iu the House of Commons, this last session, the Right Hon. (r. J. Ooschen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, called attention to it as a cause tor much of tlie falling o/T of the use of e*>ffee. He attributed it in a meas ure, to the position a preparation of cocoa known as "Urateful and Comforting" had taken. In accord with this suggestion! it may lx- interesting to follow the course cocoa has taken in England since INK, when the duty, which had been standing at Oil. per pound, wivh an imporlatien of under half a million I/Ounds. was reduced to 2d. per pound, and not long after we (Ind the homoepathlc doctrine of medicine introduced into tile kingdom, and that the use of cocoa was specially advocated by physicians adopting that mode of practice.
