CALUT OR THE MEADOWS.
It will pay well to run tho mower
over the meadows and cut down the
weeds before they seed. There are
daisies, ragweed, goldenrod, and other
flowers that are not in their proper
place among tho grass, and all now
maturing seed for seven years' weed
ing in the future, as tho proverb goes.
These should be destroyed at once,
and it will be a small job to do it.—
American Farmer.
FEED, IF YOU WANT EGOS.
Do not bo afraid of the feed if you
want eggs. A poor feeder is ncvor a
good layer. Again, not what is eaten,
but what is digested and assimilated
is what tells in the egg basket, so that
everything which tends to better diges
tion tends toward better roturns in
eggs, and indicates that plonty of
shells and grit should be furnished,
and if possible charcoal, which absorbs
the gases, sweetens the crop, and many
times prevents an attack of indiges
tion.—Amerioan Agriculturist.
SHOEING NONSES.
The greatest care i3 necessary to so
shoo tho horso that tho relative posi
tion of the leg to the foot in the nor
mal stato should be maintained, says
an English veterinarian. Tho bearing
of the shoe should be level all around.
If heel or toe, the inside or the out
side of the foot, wero too high or low,
the relationship of the limb or leg was
disturbed—in fact, the whole mechan
ism of the limb was thrown out of
gear. Unequal however
slightly occasioned, would surely end
in serious damage to the limb, and
among tho froqugnt results of such
treatment is permnnent injury to the
coffin bone. Contraction of tho heel,
ho maintained, was not an active dis
ease, but a passive condition jlne to
the horse easing his feet so as to mini
mize the pain felt at his heels from
bad shooiDg. Ho had little faitli in
mechanical arrangements for widening
contracted heels. "Shoo tho horse,"
ho remarked, "so that tho bearing
stirfaco is properly maintained at the
heel, and expansion will follow as a
natural consequence."—Now York

CELEKY CULTIVATION.
Celery planted in beds or rows will
need frequent cultivation. Tho culti
vator run between the rows and the
uso of tbo pronged boa between tbe
plants will be all tbo cultivation
needed. Tbis work should be done
once a week. Do not allow the ground
to crust over. When the weather is
hot and dry it will form a thick, bard
crust, which will stop all growth.
Celery planted in beds will require
still greater caro. Tho narrow steel
boo or tbo narrow celery rako will do
rapid and first-class work in tbo hands
of a competent man. Celery requires
a largo amount of moisture, and one
way to get it is by frequent cultiva
tion ; tho nest is by giving tho beds
a generous watering. When tbe plants
need water give an abundance. Water
in the cool of tho evening. A hose
attached to a barrel drawn by a horse
will quickly put it on without much
loss of water. When the small beds
are to be watered, a watering can will
bo all that is needed. In tho editor's
experience watering once a week is
enough.
Tho long, green celery-worm that
feeds on the leaves shcfnld bo cut in
two with a pair of clippers. In the
dry seasons they become very numer
ous, and will eeriously injure the
plants if not taken in time. Tho cel
ery should not bo earthed up during
hot weather, J£eep the soil looso and
the plants growing. The middlo of
September is plenty early enough to
give the first earthing up. Tho self
blanching celery will need tho earth
drawn up to the plants about the 10th
of September. This celery comes
into market in the early tall. It is
quite delicate, and is hard to keep af
tor it is once blanched.—Baltimore
American.
WINTER DAIRYING.
The chief aim in winter dairying,
writes John Gould, of Ohio, in the
American Agriculturist, is to get all
the milk possible between the last of
October and the first of the following
June, and for that purpose the cows
calve as nearly as may be in Septem
ber and up to the first of November.
I have unusual opportunities for
selecting choico cows from tho
"springer" droves that are centered
here for shipment to New York and
Philadelphia, so if a cow goes wrong
her place is supplied at onco with a
promising cow selected from hun
dreds. Tho aim is to have tho dairy
of somewhat uniform size, and all
must answer in full to tho dairy form
and type.
When tho cows come into the dairy
thoy aro given a little grain with soil
ing crops, like sweet corn and millet,
or oats and peas. I begin to stable
tho cows early, by the tenth of Oc
tober certainly, and if there is cold
and disagreeable weather, such as is
frequent "right off from tho lake,"
they are kept in for two days, or un
til the weather is warm. A cow must
not bo allowed to shrink in tho fall,
from either lack of feed or chilling
rains. By the tenth of November the
cows are practically in winter quarters.
A.bout the twentieth the silos are
opened, and, as a rule, from Thanks
giving Day tho cows are left in the
stalls until Easter Sunday, often
three or four weeks later, according
to tho weather. The stable is light,
very dry, well ventilated, never
freezes, and tho cows aro tied in pairs
with halters in half box stalls, and in
every way made as comfortable as
possible.
As soon as the habit of eating in
tho fields can be changed to stable
life, the oows are put upon two foede
a day, all that they will eat up clean,
and the re6t of the day or night ie
given to food digestion and assimila
tion. This is found by far the ben(
I method. Milking is the first thing iu
tbo morning, then feeding. The food
for the cows consists of twenty-Ave
pounds of good silage, two pounds of
wheat "seconds," and usually a pound
of oat dnst; if not tho latter some
other grain to tho amount, making a
total of threo pounds for eooh of the
best milkors, and a little less to the
others. As soon as the silage is eaten,
a lock of hay, two or three pounds for
eaeb, is put into the mangers, and
needed time given to eat it. About two
hours after the morning feed, tho cows
are watered. Tho water is in their
mangers, and the troughs are fitted
with covers, so that they cannot lift
them up at will, as it is not well for
the cows to take seventy-five pounds
of water into their systoms immedi
ately after eating, as they would do.
The cows immediately after eating lie
down and chew their cuds for an hour
or more. Then they are watered and
the troughs left open for the day, so
that any cow can drink as she may like
after tho "first drink." The stables
aro cleaned in the morning, and the
trenches sprinkled with road dust and
thon partially filled with tho fresh,
long manure from tho horse stalls.
This combination makes a good ab
sorbent and deodorizer. At night af
ter milking, the feeding is repeated,
and wheil the cows are looked after
towards bedtime, tho water troughs
are again opened for the night, some
dry sawdust is thrown along tfio heel
planks, and tho 6tables aro shut up for
tho night.
In building tho stable, whilo very
economical in cost, tho idea was to
givo each cow plenty of space, and so
eaoh oow has 640 cubic feet of stable.
Another thing was the avoidanco of
what might be termed "hothouse"
conditions, and so sunshine was
sought. It comes in on tlireo sides of
the stable duriug the day. The tem
perature of the stable is maintained as
nearly ns possible at forty-live degrees.
Tho water is not warmed, but is kept
in a closo iron tank in tho stable and
pumpod every day from a deep rook
well, and so does not vary much as it
runs into tho troughs from fifty de
grees. Of course tho cows have good
beds of straw and aro carded now and
then, but they are given enough free
dom so that tliey can perform .their
own toilets fairly well. I am not a
believer in tho high feeding of con
centrated grains. Tho individuality
of the cow is a thing that is born with
her to do a certain performance, and
feeding to croate a production beyond
born individual capacity has nover
been accomplished except in a limited
way, and then has cost moro than the
returns from it wero worth. The
great horse Directum eats no moro
oats than a "plug," and no amount of
oats will get speed out of the latter.
It is the same way with cows.
FABM AND GARDEN' NOTES.
Nothing truer than that hogs like
"roots."
Don't forget to savo the best field
anil garden seeds.
If you have no orchard set out at
least a few fruit trees.
Commercial prosperity has much to
Jo with tho horso market.
Tho sow should be left quiet a day
or two after slio has been servod.
Now get rid of all poor scrub ani
mals before they eat thoir heads off.
A very largo litter of pigs is gener
ally to their detriment in quality or
size.
It is suggested that sweet potntoos
may be dried in tho samo manuer as
fruit.
It is not well to raise colts and mules
together, bccauso tho mules lord it
over the former.
Exerciso will do tho very little pigs
good ; give them range as soon as they
are able to toddle.
As long as sho will prove serviceable
keep the sow which has proved hersolf
to bo a good mother.
Extra fat sows will not breed so
surely as when their systems are in a
less feverish condition.
Darkening tho rooms where nests
are placed tends to prevent tho fowls
from eating their eggs.
A little honsy heated and dropped
on bread is said to restore voice and
strength to sick canaries.
Destroy all poor and worthless fruit
as soon as it falls from the trees, or it
will furnish a harbor for many insect
enemies.
Pick off the faded flowers and dead
leaves from your plants, if for no
other reason than that they injure the
appearance of the plant.
Much soed is wasted by letting it
remain where grown after it is ripe by
falling into the ground. And it is al
ways tho first and best that falls.
When only enough food is given to
support life there can be no profit, as
profit only comes from what is con
sumed anil appropriated above tho lifo
sustaining point.
Do not water newly-potted plants
too freely. It is best to givo a liberal
quantity of water at the time of trans
planting, and then not water again
uatil new growth starts.
Seed of tho nasturtium may bo
sown at intervals throughout the en
tire year, thus giving new plants at all
times. They make a very pretty plant
for tho windows.
Do not allow withered flowers to re
main on tho plants unless you wish
the seed. They should be picked as
soon as they show signs of withering,
as they aro a great drain on the vi
tality of the plant.
Have tho strawberry beds clean,
cultivate well that a good vigorous
growth may be made before the
ground froezes. Then be ready to
cover lightly with marsh hay or other
litter free from weed seeds.
Tho garden plat should be cleared
of all weeds and rubbish and plowod
this fall. If planted in rows it oan be
plowod in strips as the crop is liar
vestod—another factor in favor of
planting in rows rather than beds.

at the timo you pour the boiling water
onto the rice. Cook until soft, which
will be in a half or three-quarters of
an hour. Remove tho cover and stir
the rico carefully with a fork to let tho
steam escape and dry off tho rice.
Heat tho tomatoes which were left,
season them quite highly with salt and
pepper, using a little cayenne to
highten the taste, add to the rice a
tablespoonful of butter, stir carefully
in, and when melted pour over the
tomatoes and stir that also into the
rice. Serve at once as a vegetable and
you will be surprised to And it so good.

THE SERVANT OF SMALL THINO*.
Thoro is a prospect that, boforo wo

keeping will be dono by machinery.
Not only by special machines for spe

tive machinery for tho whole house
keeping.
But tho faithful housekeeper is
quito sure that there is one servant
who will never be supplanted—tlio
servant of small things. The servant,
paid or unpaid, who picks up tho
trifles every one else drops, and puts
away the articles every one elso for
gets. The servant who carries up and
down stairs odd cups and glasses and
spoons; who finds overshoes and elates
and echoolbooks and hats; who
gathers the scattered playthings and
discovers the misplaced book or sew
ing ; who makes ready the chair and
tho footstool for tha coming occu
pant, and who takes up all the dropped
stitches, moral and material, in tho
family life.
Thero may arise housekeeping ma
chines, big and little, working with
marvelous skill and accuracy. Hut
until a method is discovered of put
ting a heart as well as hands into
them, of giving them a soul as well a*
a body, it is certain that the sphere
of the servant of things c.»u
never bo perfectly filled by such con
trivances.—Harper's Bazar.

ABMUITFIV PURE
A*» of Fall*.
ProfcMer .T. W. Spencer nays tli»t
♦ho first conjecture as to tho ape of
Falls was made by Andrew
Ellioott in 1790. Ellioott believed
tbo falls to be 55,000 years old. About
1841 Lycll estimated the ago of the
falls as 35,000 years. All of these esti
mates were pure conjectures, but they
were correct in assuming that the
gorge had been excavated by the
river. Professor Spencer, in out
lining the progress of the falls, says
that a little stream draining the Erie
Basin once fell about 200 feet from
tho brow of the Niagara escarpment.
This stream was not over one-fourth
the volume of the present cataract,
and consequently cxcavatod the gorge
at a much slower rate than at present.
During the early history of the river
the waters of the three upper lakes
omptied through the Huron Basin by
way of the Ottawa River. The height of
the falls has increased several times.
Tho first episode, represented by
a small river falling 200 feet, lasted
11,000 yoars. Then the height of the
falls was increased to 400 feet, and
took the drainage of all tho upper
great lakes. At the same time there
was a series of cascades, three in all,
the lower gaining on the upper until
finally they were all united in one
great cataract, much higher than that
of to-day. Subsequently the waters
were raised at the head of Lake On
tario, and the falls approximated to
the present conditions after a lapse of
1000 years, and another 1000 years
was probably occupied by transitorial
changes of a very gradual character.
It is now 8000 years since Lake Huron
emptied into Lake Erie for the first
time. The land has risen about the
outlet of Lake Erie, And if the present
rate of change continues, in 5000 or
6000 years the waters of the four lakes
will be turned into the Mississippi
River drainage at Chicago.—New Or
leans Picayune.
Restoring Historical Paintings.
The eight great paintings iu tho ro
tunda of the Capitol at Washington,
representing famous events in Ameri
can history, are undergoing treatment
to restoro their colors. The painting
of tho "B»ptism of Pocohontas" has
just been replaced in its niche in the
wall, after being subjectod to a reju
venation, which causes its companion
pieces to appear exceedingly tarnished
by contrast. The other pictures are
to uudergo the same attention. Trum
bull's famous representation of the
signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence has been removed for re
newal. Architect Clark of the Capi
tol was given ebargo of tho work, and
placed it in the hands of a specialist
in Baltimore. A preparation is used
which removes the dust and varnish and
brings out the original colors in some
thing like their first distinctness, but
no new paint is applied.—New York

so easy, there must be some harm to the

«TO PUT ON

Medical Dis
fa covery. It works
" wonders. By restor
< ing the normal ac
' / tion of the deranged
g organs and functions,
; it builds the flesh up
to a safe and healthy
standard—promptly,
pleasantly and nat
urally. The weak,
emaciated, thin, pale
and puny are made
strong, plump, round and rosy. Noth
ing so effective as a strength restorer
and flesh maker is known to medical sci
ence ; this puts on healthy flesh not the fat
of cod liver oil and its filthy compounds.
It rouses every organ of the body to ac
tivity, purifies, enriches and vitalizes
the blood so that the body feels refreshed
and strengthened. If you are too thin, too
weak, too nervous, it may be that the food
assimilation is at fault. A certain amount
of bile is necessary for the reception of the
fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver
holds back this element which would help
digestion. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery stimulates, tones up and invig
orates the liver, nourishes the blood, and
the muscles, stomach and nerves get the
rich blood they require.
