Lavender as a Weed.
* A promising industry has been start
fid in South Australia in a somewhat
surious way. The Central Agricultural
Bureau of South Australia was recently
notified that a weed of very pronounced
odor and aggressive growth had taken
possession of about three acres of soil
in the southern portion of the colony.
Fhe settlers in the neighborhood of the
•wanip where the plant had established
itself were inclined to look with dis
tinct disfavor upon the "weed," which
the horses and cattle would not eat,
and which spread so rapidly. It wns
presently found, however, that the weed
was no other than the lavender plant,
which though of no use as a fodder,
was otherwise a most profitable crop,
M (wo or three tons of green stulF taken
from it will yield when distilled by a
very simple process SSOO worth of la
vender oil. In addition it would give
1600 pounds of lavender water worth
sixteen cents per pound, after the first
distillation, and thirty-six cents per
pound after further distillation. The
settler who was shrewd enough to make
inquiries before rooting up his un
known crop has decided on the advice
of the Agricultural Bureau, not only to
carefully cultivate what lavender he
has, but to plant several acres more.
The soil, of a light, sandy nature with
clay beneath and fairly moist, is emi
nently suited to the growth, not only
of lavender, but of all scent-producing
plants, and many of the colonists are
proposing to devote part of their land
to such cultivation.—Courier-Journal.
j A Piece of the Moon.
A curious and very fine specimen of
meteoric iron has recently been found
in Rockingham County, South Caro
lina, and sent to the State Museum at
Columbia. It is about twelve inches
long and two inches through at the
thickest part, flat in its general shape,
and slightly concave on one side, and
convex on the other, as though it had
been broken off the outer surface of a
much larger and rounded mass. It is
entirely covered with a thick coat of
rust, and weighs 25 3-4 pounds. Pro
fessor Tshertuel says that, in his opin
ion, it is simply a piece of ore, which
has been projected by volcanic agency
from the face of the moon.—New Or

ARTICHOKES FOR SWINE.
Artichokes are excellent food for
swine, and esj>ecially for pigs and
skoats that arc growing rapidly. If the
pigs are to be allowed to gather the
tubers for themselves, then the arti
chokes should be planted on rather
light soils, because in rooting over the
soil to get at the tubers the ground
will be made more compact by the con
stant tramping upon it, with the ad
dition of the manure of the hogs in the
gathering of the crop, during the wet
weather late in the fall and early in
spring. This working over of the soil
by swine will greatly improve light
soils, but it has been found in practice
that it will injure heavy, tenacious
clav by making it more compact.—New
York Sun.
OBOWING PANSIEH FOR PROFIT.
The culture of flowers is one of the
most profitable of all this kind of in
dustries, aud at fifty cents a dozen for
pansies, the profit will be very satis
factory. To have them early, the seed
should be sown at once in boxes in a
warm room, and the small pfeants
moved to pots, but if the seed is sown
in the fall, the flowers may be had still
earlier. The most desirable way is to
sow seed in the summer in the open
ground on rich soil, and pot the young
plants, picking oft' all the flower buds
as they form, until the middle of the
winter and in time to have the flowers
when they are wanted. Then by
gathering the flowers as soon as they
are fully blown the plants will continue
to bloom a long time. To force good
flowers the plants should l>e kept
watered with weak manure water. The
finest varieties are the Imperial Ger
man and Scotch.—New York Times.
SPRAYING APriiE ORCHARSD IN WET SEASONS.
The time for destroying the apple
worm is immediately after the petals
fall, and the spraying should be re
peated once or twice after the apples
begin to hang down. Experiments by
E. G. Lodeman at the New York Cor
nell Station indicate that the first ap
plication of fungicides should be made
soon after the bnds open and just be
fore the flowers fall. Apple trees should
be so pruned that both the sunshine
aud the spraying reaches every part.
The Bordeaux mixture reduces the in
jury done by the apple scab fungus.
The addition of Paris green to this
mixture gave better results than when
London purple was used. More spray
ing applications are required during
wet seasons than during dry ones.
The trees should be sprayed once a
week during wet weather. The results
show that the application of the com
bination of the Bordeau mixture and
Paris green or London purple was
valuable and practicable for the treat
ment of the apple scab fungus and the
apple worm even when over five inches
of rain fell during June.—American
Agriculturist.
SELECTING A COW.
The good points of a good cow are
not her good looks. She may not be
and probably is not very good-looking
except to the eye of an experienced
dairyman. She certainly is not fat
while giving milk, and to be a really
good cow she should never be long
time enough between the times of milk
giving to fatten. She will most likely
have a large paunch, giving her a some
what "pot-bellied" look after she has
filled herself. Something cannot come
from nothing, and we never knew a
cow giving large messes of good milk
which was not a ravenous feeder.
Hence her digestion must be good.
She should have a broad chest, indicat
ing large lungs. There is no good
digestion without good lung power.
She should be "deep" from the back
down to the belly, but with a thin and
rather flat neck. The skin of most
good cows is of velvety texture, and
looks as if it had been groomed for
several generations, as in most breeds 1
of the best cows it has. The good cow
is, indeed, less an accident thau a
product. With good material from :
which to breed, the good farmer can ;
make sure of her nearly every heifer
culf he gets.—Boston Cultivator.
LAWN GRASS.
Where the locality desirable for a
lawn is naturally free from weeds the
modern suggestion of making it by
planting patches of one particular kind,
which will run together in a few
months, is particularly desirable.
Nothing can l>e more beautiful than a
lawn wholly made up of one species.
For small gardens, especially where the i
new plantation can lie hand-weeded
during summer, it is the best of all [
methods. No lawn made of grass seeds j
will be confined strictly to one kind, I
and on account of the different shades |
of green jn the gross will always have a .
more or less patchy ap]>enrnncc. Those
who supply mixed lawn grass seeds j
usually keep this iu mind, and endeav
or to get their kinds so generally idike
in tint of green an to avoid this objec- :
tion. One advantage of the mixed I
system is that one can rarely tell by the
description of a customer what jiartic
nlar kind of grits* will thrive to best
advantage. A mixture is, therefore,
likely to Inst serve the purpoao, in
this, that the oue most suitable will
eventually crowd out those not so well
adiiiiti-d to the soil »iid circumstances.
We have seeu a luwii made of mixed
gritxses which hail to l>e wcurcd uudcr
the shade of trees, eventually be
come wholly occupied by the sheep

every other ktud was crowded out, and

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Let the fowls out when the weather
is mild.
One-fourth Leghorn blood hastens
maturity.
Broilers early in spring sell at very
high prices.
Grade your dressed poultry in pack
ing for market.
The Beder Wood is a strawberry

Skim milk thickened with bran is a
goodfeed for poultry.
In nearly all cases it will be best to
deepen the soil gradually.
If the hay is the least musty, always
moisten it before feeding.
The poor, unthrifty hog is often the
prey of vermin or parasites.
The more time required to fatten an
animal the greater the cost.
Overworked butter nearly always
presents a greasy appearance.
If farmers want to make buttermak
ing profitable they must make a good
] article.
J Horses should not be tied too long,
1 as they arc apt to roll and get cast in
| the stall.
Many modern growers use commer
cial fertilizers instead of manure for
' potatoes.
J Milk may be deficient in solids with-
I out having water added to it by the
I milkman.
j A nervous, irritable, bad-tempered
driver generally has nervous, vicious,
5 runaway horses.
Too long for the cream to rise and I
■ too long without stirring will make
white specks in the butter.
With a thoroughly good cow one can
always afford to give plenty of feed in
exchange for plenty of butter.
The most profitable cow is the best
mother, and the mother function should
i be fostered as much us possible.
While feed has much to do with the
1 quality of the milk, the breed of the
1 cow has much more to do with it.
Now that work is on, be sure the
collars lit perfectly before beginning
work. It is often easier to prevent
than to cure galls.
Farm horses should be groomed at
least twice a day in the working season,
1 especially if they have been sweating
or have been in the mud.
■ A farmer who has a quarter-section
, of land should set five or ten acres of
I orchard trees. They will get him out
' of debt if he is in and help him to keep
I out if he is not.
An orchard can l»e successfully grown
1 without interfering with the rest of the
, farm work, aud time thus sjwnt will
bring returns equal to any other pro
< diice. It has been proved,
i It is claimed by some horticulturists
that winter pruning while the sap is
down develops vigorous wood growth,
aud summer pruning checks this and
, encourages fruit production.
A word of caution is due to those
who embark in any new enterprise.
There are many things to learn. Books
have a value to the new beginner, but
practice is necessary. No man should
fail to learn the practical details by
using his own hands.
Are sheep subject to indigestion ? Of
course they are, as much so as any
other animal. Did you never smell a
sheep's breath? Some of the healthy
sheep's breath is as sweet as an infant's;
, but a diseased sheep's breath suggests
' indigestion and all the ills known to
I mortal flesh.

[ plum trees of the curculio: "As soon
1 as flowering is over spread a sheet un-
I tier your trees and jar the trees, bring
ing dowu the pest and the stung fruit,
which burn. Do this daily until the
fruit is one-fourth grown. If rightly
followed it insures a crop."

TOMATO KgIDHUP.
Skin one gallon of ripe tomatoes,
add one pint of good vinegar, threo
tablespoonfuls of salt, ten red peppers,
green or ripe, broken so as to get the
strength from the seed. Cook in a
granite or porcelain kettle until qnitc
thick, then skim out the peppers. Bottle
while hot. This is very good.—New

TO OOOK SPINACH.
Put the washed spinach in a sauce
pan with enough cold water to cover
it, and add a little salt and a very small
amount of soda; bring the water quickly
to boiling point, then strain it from
the spinach. The spinach must have
as much of the moisture as possible
pressed from it, rub it through a fine
wire sieve, then put it into a saucepan,
add a little flour, butter, pepper and
salt, and stir it over the fire until it
boils; let it boil for a few minutes,
then serve it very hot with small tippets
of fried bread round it.—New York

SNOW CUSTARD.
Soak one-half box gelatine an hour
in one cup cold water. Then add one
cup sugar, two cups boiling water and
boil three milfcites, then pour out.
When cool and on the point of con
gealing stir in gently the well-beaten
whites of four eggs. Continue stirring
until it begins to stiffen, then pour into
a mold. Putin a cold place. Make
this in the evening. Next morning
make a custard of four yolks, one cup
sugar and four cups milk. Boil until
rich and thick, and pour into a glass
bowl. Flavor with lemon or vanilla.
When perfectly cold turn the snow
jelly from the mold carefully on tup of
it.—Detroit Free Press.
STRAWBERRY SPONGE.
Soak one-half box gelatine in a half
cup of cold water. Hull and mash one
quart of strawberries, and sprinkle
over them half a cupful of sugar
together tweuty minutes, but do not
boil hard. Rub the berries through a
hair sieve or colander ; add the soaked
gelatine to the boiling syrup, take
from the Are, turn into a bowl and add
the berry juice; stir until the gelatine
is all dissolved; add the juice of one
lemon, place the bowl in a pan of
crushed ice and beat with an egg
boater for five minutes. Add the
beaten whites of four eggs, and beat
the whole until it begins to thicken.
Pour into wet molds and set on the ice
to harden. Serve very cold with

MAYONNAISE OF SWEETBREADS.
Clean and parboil one pair of
sweetbreads, and then throw them
into eold water for a half hour. Re
move the fat and skin and cover them
with fresh boiling water; add a tea
spoonful of salt and simmer gently for
twenty minutes. When done stand
away to cool. Wash and dry the ten
der leaves from one head of lettuce.
Rub the bottom of a soup dish with an
onion, and make in it nearly a half
pint of mayonnaise. Place a thin
slice of onion in the center of your
salad dish, arrnnge the lettuce leaves
around it; mix the sweetbreads care
fully with the mayonnaise and putin
the center of the dish. Serve. This
is a delicious salad, and if prepared as
directed will have only the faintest
suspicion of onion. Tarragon vinegar
added to the mayonnaise is a great im
provement.

I Art, with
The Wonderful Esquimaux Whip.
There was a content between fonr
Esquimaux in the village at the Fair,
' writes a Chicago correspondent of the
' New York World. The prize was a
1 contest for a five cent piece, which
some American willing to encourage
sport had buried in the soil so that only
a fragment of its glittering rim was
visible. The men stood eight feet apart,
with whips forty feet long. Such a
whip would have been a terror in the
hands of an Esquimanx if it had had a
real handle; but of the forty feet thirty
nine feet and a half were lash. The
handle was a stout piece of white wood
six inches long, to which the lash of
rawhide was fastened. Such whips are
used by the Esquimaux upon the teams
of dogs which drag them over the snow.
The contest this afternoon demonstra
ted the fact that it must be very un
comfortable to be an Esquimaux dog
within forty feet of the driver. It
would be no trouble at all for tho
Esquimaux to remove an ear or a pound
of flesh, full weight, from any dog in
the team. „
The most expert whip among the
Esquimaux was a little man, not much
more than four feet high with slanting
eyes, and a spikv, black beard, that
made him look very Japanese. A move
ment of his wrist sent the forty feet of
lash curving back in a straight line like
a long snake. Another movement and
it came forward, noiselessly shooting
through the air just above the surface
of the ground until, with a loud report,
the tip end of the lash struck the pre
cise spot where the coin lay buried,
dug it from the ground, and brought
it spinning back to the Esquimaux
artist. Such precision and such forco
are certainly unknown to any other
whips in the world.
Cowboys with their vaunted cracking
of bull whips are small children coin
pared to these wonderful Esquimaux.
A man standing half way between tlio
contestants could certainly have been
hacked to death with the ends of their
lashes, in a very few minutes. Tho
force with which the tip of the lash
struck the ground was so great that tho
particles of dirt which flew about in
flicted painful wounds upon tho faces
of the spectators.
Elevator Sickness.
Elevator sickness is a sensation
nnalagous to sea sickness. You know
if you've crossed Lake Michigan in a
northerly gale that you bear with for
titude the motion of your end of the
boat when it's on the rise, but listen
for the angels' harps when it sinks.
The elevator sickness is built on the
same principle. It is more frequent in
New York and Chicago than anywhere
else in the world. Tho victims, mostly
women, often suffer frightful qualms
when tho car starts on its downward
plunge. Some of the less impression
able victims content themselves with
tugging at the rope boy's bob-tailed
coat and begging him to"go slow,
please." Then with a muttered prayer
or something the boy, who lias heard
that plea before, shakos out a reef or
two more and makes the trip in double
quick, and the victim shuts her eyes
and shudders. Frequently she faints
away completely. Experience does not
seem to diminish the complaint.—
Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Fading of Cut Roses.
To prevent the fading of cut roses,
those that are red or pink must bo
kept where the light is not very strong.
Light is, however, beneficial to the
color of yellow roses, aud they as well
as white ones may be placed in a strong
light, providing it is not sunlight,
without injury. When the flowers aro
placed in fresh water, which should bo
changed at least once a day, add a
little salt and clip the ends of the stems.
It is well over night to place cut roses
in a cool moist place. If flowers arrive
before you are ready to make use of
them, lay a cloth over the ice iu tho
ice-box, and lay the flowers upon it, or
set them on the ice in tho box iu which
they are packed.
«■ The use to be made of roses must bo
thought of iu ordering them, as some
varieties beautiful for house decora
tion are not hardy enough for corsage
bouquets. For the latter the Catharine
Mermet, the Bride, and the Perle des
Jardins retain their freshness longest.

For several years I have been suffering from a
bad llluod llktorder called by different
named by the several Physicians who attended me,
but which baffled the «kill of them all. It at
tacked my fUee, KATINtt AW A Y
TIIK i'LEMII. and leaving a persistent
running sore, which nothing would heal, it
alao broke out on my limb as a FEVER
HOKK. For months I was confined to
mv bed and have been unable to walk
I without crutches for over ten years*
L«ast Fall I purchased three bottles of
DANA'S
SARSAPARILLA
of Davit Br>»s. It helped me from the flrat.
I took it faithfully, ana 1 can now attend to
my household duties and walk as well
as ewer.
I am sure that my ease la as near a miracle ae
anything that happen* at the present day.
I am very sincerely yours,
