There is a natural and vory strong desire
in tho spring and curly summer to get rid ot
underwear und overwear, so that the fresh

folds of the whole year aro taken, and espec

strongest and a chill the surest. It ts there
where lumbago sets in. It is just the condi

APPLE FAILURES AND REMEDIES.
The primary cause of the reoent
apple failures oi Western New York
is neglect, says • late bulletin of the
Cornell University. The remedies to
be applied are summarized as: Till
ing, feeding, pruning and spraying.
The trouble is not, however, purely
local, and this advice may be followed
with profit by most fruit growers.—
New York World.
PREPARE FOR SPRATINO.
Any farmer who has a dozen or more
apple or pear trees, should have a
spraying apparatus and familiarize
himself with the use of fungicides and
inscoticides. The diflcrenco in value
between a good and a poor crop will
more than pay for tho outfit, and it
often comes handy for spraying other
crops, such as potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
—American Agriculturist.
FASTENING FOR COWS IN THE STABLE.
Tho safest mode of fastening cows in
their stalls is by a strong leather
strap around tho neck, with a ring
stitched in, into which a snap hook
may bo quickly fastened. Tho hook
is attached to a short chain with a
ring at the end which slides up nnd
down on a bar of iron fastened to tho
side of the stall. The chain is long
enough to permit the cow to reach tho
further end of the feed trough. If
there is a gutter eight inchos deep be
hind the cows for tho manure, thoy
will stay on tho floor inside of the
gutter. The inner floor should slopo
two inches from the front to tho
gutter, which affords ample drainago
and keeps tho cows clean.—New York
Times.
VALUE OF SLAKED LIME.
Lime, either air slaked or unslaked,
is used as a fertilizer whero there ib
large amount of vegetable matter that
only slowly decomposes. Such laud
is always wet aud cold. Dry land has
enough warmth iu summer to prevent
the accumulation of much vegetable
matter, and on such land the lime can
only iact by directly supplying this
mineral to plants that lequiro it.
When UBOI? to make vegetable matter
decompose more rapidly as many as
seventy to 100 bushels of lime per
acre aro sometimes plowed in. This
puts such land in good shape for a
number of years, but it is at the ex
pense of future fertility. If your
wet land is near a good market, wo
should advise to underdrain it, as a
better way to make its vegetable
matter decompose. In fact, if there
is stagnant water near the surface
most of the year not oven an applica
tion of lime would do it much good.
On your dry laud, LO large application
of lime will pay, but you might try
some as an experiment, but not as a
substitute for manure. Lime should
not be used on land intended for po
tatoes. Tho potato does uot require
it aud its caustic effect on tho tuber
makes the skin tender and predis
poses it to scab fungus attacks. -Bos
ton Cultivator.
WHAT TO FEED YOUNG TURKEYS.
The fooil for youug turkeys, liko
all other young poultry, should bo
thoroughly cooked and given in a
crumbly condition. Feed little and
often the first two weeks. Turkeys
havo small crops but they digest their
food rapidly. Give a variety.
Turlties soon tiro of any kind of food
if given too often, and will refuso to
eat it. It will not do to lot them go
hungry. Hunger causes indigestion,
and indigestion will produce bowel
trouble.
Eggs ore a natural food for all
young poultry, but too much hard
boiled egg will cause bowel trouble ;
it is a better plan to moisten their
food with raw egg. Once or twice a
day for a week or ten days feed a still
mush made of equal parts of fine oat
meal,'cornmcal and bran or middlings;
add a little salt and a tablespoonful
of bono meal one day, and a littlo
finely chopped meat the next.
Chopped onions, cabbage or other
garden greens should be given as soon
as they will eat them. Bone meal,
meat and vegetables aro necessary for
the health and growth of young tur
keys. They feather earlier than auy
other fowl, and this demand on the
systom must be supplied by judicious
feoding. Cooked potatoes and rice
are excellent and will help make up a
variety. When a week or ten days
old begin to teach them to eat grain,
either ground or whole. As soon as
they aro given a range the number of
meals per day may gradually be re
duced.—Farm, Stock and Home.
SCIENCE IN FARMING.
Agricultural education in France
has progressed by leips and bounds,
and the French farmer tills his ground
more scientifically than auy of his
neighbors. Agriculture is taught in
schools of all grades. In 1893 in
struction was given to 2700 pupils in
French normal schools and to more
than 300,000 persons who attended
their conferences. Model farms are
scattered all over the land for the pur
pose of experiment aud instruction.
While France is probably ahead of
all other Governments in tho applica
tion of science to farming, Germany
is a good second, aud in somo direo
tione, uotably in tho production of
the sugar beet, is in advance of her
rival. In England tho general dif
fusion of the knowledge which renders
scientific farming j ossilde is shown
by the fact that even in a bad wheat
year the avcr.tge yield per acre is over
thirty bushels Contrasted with this
our own avt rage yield of thirteen
bushels shows rJrirply tho need of tho
National Government to make some
better provision for education along
agricultural lines. Farming, like
every other branch of industry, has
made ra|»iil strides with the last two
decades. It has become highly skilled
labor, inn! it is neee-sary thin provis

time furnish our cities with cheap,

York World.
CASE OF THE PIGS.
Ordinarily until the pigs are six to
eight months old there should be no
other thought in connection with the
raising of thom than how to mako
them grow. Any surplus fat at this
time is in the way. The pig needs
that kind of feed that will develop bone
and muscle, giving him size and a ro
bust constitution. These things are
never accomplished by the farmer who
grows enthusiastic by spurts. It is
nature's way to permit of no stop-offs
on the routo traveled by the pig from
the farrowing nest to the packing
house. If ho does take a stop-over at
nny point in his career from any
causo whatsoever ho does it at his own
expense. Regular and even develop
ment is always naturo's way, and her
way should bo our way.
For the first few weeks of the pig's
lifo ho is to bo fed wholly through the
dam, and it must always bo rightly
borno in mind by the feeder that when
he is feeding the ('am ho is feeding the
pigs. It is very often a thoughtless
indifference upon this point that is the
cause of ono of the most vexatious
troubles with young pigs. Scours is
not considered a very dangerous ail
ment, but it is a much more costly
thing to the farmer's pocketbook than
all other ailments combined. Thumps
kills its victims in all probability and
the thing is at an end. One pig in
the litter is about the limit of the
trouble with thumps. But with scours
it goes through the litter. The trouble
does not arise perhaps from getting too
strong a flow of milk over an extended
poriod of time, but rather from too
much at ono time aud too little at an
other, caused by upurts in feeding, or
by Midden changes in tho character of
the milk caused by feeding the wrong
thiug. Whatever tho cause tho worst
phase of tho matter is uot simply that
the pigs are afflicted with a disordor
somewhat difficult to cure, but that it
stunts growth permanently. Tho pig
that has had tho scours never will
make the hog that it might havo made
had it escaped tho trouble. This fact
may as well bo set down as settled.
Hence, tho mau who would make tho
most of his hogs must avoid sconrs
with his pigs. This he can do only l>y
properly feeding tho dam while thoy
are young.—Nebraska Farmer.
FARM AMD GARDEN NOTES.
Cornstalks are a laxativo food.
White Plymouth Rocks make an ex
cellent cross with White Wyandottes
for general market fowls or eggs.
Nearly every poultry raiser has
more or less land upon which crops
may be grown that are espesially suit
ed for poultry.
Equal parts of bran and corn meal
mixed with water and baked hard is
an excellent food for young chicks,
especially if soaked in sweet milk be
fore feeding.
If you have a stony or gravelly
point iu tho pasturo that produces
nothing, stimulate it with a dressing
of horse manure in which there is
plenty of grass seed.
Tho time to kill weeds in tho potato
field is when they first start. Weeds
that have beeu permitted to grow
large have done tho crop about all tho
harm they can do.
One very common mistako made by
owners of clay farms is tramping them
when wet, and cases are not rare
where there has beeu almost a failuro
of a crop from this causo alone.
Look over your raspberry canes,
and if they seem swollen, cut off tho
infected canes and burn them, thus
destroying ono of the worst pests this
delioious fruit, haa in this country.
Burn all clumps of dead, adhering
leaves found iu your fruit trees, aud
save tho fruit buds from destruction
by tho tiny worms that have passed
the wiuter in hiding in these leaves.
The farmers of Texas uso ordinary
baking soda with quito good Buccess
in keeping weevil out of corn and
other grain. The amount used is
twelve to fifteen pounds of tho soda
to every hundred barrels of corn in
the shock.
The foot of foals very seldom re
ceive tho caro and tho frequent in
spection so necessary to their future
perfection of form and soundness.
Horses' feet, from this cause alone,
frequently become deformed, defec
tive and unhealthy.
Not one garden in a hundred over
has okra growing in it. This is a
great omission. It is perfctly easy to
grow, it bears edible pods all summer
long if they are kept cut off as soon as
largo enough, aud they are delicious
in soups, ragouts, etc., and for pickles.
It is better to havo tho space in
your buildings devoted to roosts sep
arate from tho laying or nesting sec
tion. They can always be found in
one or tho other place at certain peri
ods of tho day, and the droppings, if
confined to one plnce, do not befoul
other parts of the building.
Hens like green cabbage wlieu it is
hung up where they can chip off a bit
when ho inclined, aud in the winter
aud early spring, wheu thero is littlo
I.'reeu food growing, nothiug is more
convenient aud beiiolicial. Ouion tops
in springtime aro excellent as a blood
s f unulnut aud should be fed with soil
fooii.
Auy building yon oreot for your
poultry should, if you keep 100 head,
have a room in tho center for storage
of grain and such tools aud cooking
apparatus as is nonessary about a well
ordered lieohouse. The biiildiufr should

HOUSEHOLD AFfAIRS,
WASHING CREW Eli EMBROIDERIES.
In washing embroideries done with
erewels on a foundation of linen or
erasb, the first timo bran water should
always be used to set the oolors. To
propare the water pour a gallon boil
ing hot over a pound of bran. Let
tho bran soak in the water a day, stir
ring it occasionally, then strain it
well. Put tho artiole to be washed in
the water when it is lukewarmppress
ing and squeezing it through the water
until clean. Do not think of wring
ing dry, but press oat all the moisture
possible and dry in a warm place with
out exposure to sunlight. When it is
still damp lay the right side on a flan
nel and press on the wrong side. Use
only tho best crewels if you expect
them to wash well.—New York Post.
WHAT A SUNBEAM CAN DO.
A sunbeam is a small thing, yet it
has a power to fade tho carpets and
curtains, to rot the blinds, and for
this reason some folks carefully ex
clude the sunshine. What is the re
sult? Tho family is always ailing, the
young girls have a waxeu white skin
and a weary, pinchod expression of
countenance. Their appetites fail,
thoy fall into such a bad state of
health that tho doctor is called in. In
olden days he would have shaken his
head, perhaps, and friends would have
whispered that dreaded word, "de
cline!" Nowadays he notes tko palo
gums and waxen skin aud says "anae
mia prescribes iron and milk, fresh
air and exercise, and often a change.
If he knows nothing about tho dark
ened rooms he will bo puzzled as to
why no permanent improvement mani
fests itself, and, probably, the patient
will seek other advice.—New York Ad
vertiser.
HOW TO DUST.
Tho ideal maid is tho maid who dusts
properly. But where do we find our
ideals? Not in our own parlors, as a
rule, but in parlors of other womon
who do tho dusting themselves. Tho
careful housekeeper will havo faded
upholstery, dull woodwork and badly
defaced carving unless elio is willing
to pay tho price of eternal vigilance.
Sho must givo her a feather duster,
soft silk old handkerchiefs for tho
piano and tho polished mahogany and
chees-cloth duster for ordinary use.
Tho marbles aud ornaments must have
a separate diffllcr from the furniture
aud a large, soft pieco of muslin can
be used to polish tUe picture glasses
with. A chamois and a little oil do
for finishing touches for tho mahogany
and polished oak and a soft brush
must bo used to penetrate the crevices
of carving. A whisk brooiu is also
necessary for the upholstered furni
ture, and a cano dust beater is well
used twice a week. Boston Herald.
OLD-TIME QUILTING FRAMES,
Fortunate are housewives who still
possess tho quilting frames of their
grandmothers, for these serve admira
bly to dry curtains upon. Two or
three curtains can be dried on them ns
once. One curtain is stretched over
tho others and each held in placo by
pins or tacked with coarse stitches to
the lasting or cloth that is bound over
tho quilting frame. Indeed, so much
more convenient are these frames than
tho tedious methods of pinning tho
curtains to floor with sheets spread
out to protect tho carpet that every
housokeoper who has her curtains
laundered at homo should havo one.
Some largo furnishing stores havo
them for sale, and where these stores
are not accessible, any carpenter can
make u frame. It will not be expen
sive, as it is extremely simple in de
sign, aud takes little materia!. Four
boards, each about three inches wide
and one inch thick, aro all that is
needed. Two of the boards should bo
eight or'nino feet loug, and the other
two five feet. Having measured tho
longest curtain you own, let tho car
penter bore several holes in each
board so that the four pegs ho will
turn for you may fasten tho frames
into an oblong the sizo of any curtain
in the house. While the curtains are
drying they can bo laid 011 tho grass
or against tho feuoo in the back yard,
or, in stormy weather, stood up iu any
convenient room.—New York Times.

Mountains on Fire.
A communication from Aveyron,
France, says: "Tho village of Cran
sac is surrounded by burning moun
tains. The Montet, which, according
to local chroniclers, lias been on fire
for more than a century, has now the
aspect of a veritable volcano. From
its crater-like summit an intense
volumo of smoke rises during the day,
while at night a multitude of vari
colorod flumes iurnish the glorious
spectacle of a mountain on fire.
Actuated doubtless by the strong
winds of tho Inst few weeks, the fiery
element, which has beeu consuming
the entire Montet Mountain proper,
hns spread to tho rouge, and has
assumed proportions which are very
grave. During tho very dark nights
the blaze illuminates tho horizon as
that of a great conflagration. At
times blue white flames shoot up to a
considerable height, giving the eilect
of lightning during a storm. A
curious fact about tho burning Mou
tet is that whenever a period of verj
cold temperature ensues tho mountain
fire seems to grow in intensity. All
efforts to extinguish the blaze, or even
to retard its progress, have been in
vain. All that has been done to
smother or quench tho fire appeared
to but increase tho fury of the devour
ing element. Its progress is increas
ing, and the blazo nerer was as fierce
as it is now." This fire is the sequel
to a conflagration that broke out in
the coal mines of Fontaines and Mon
tet many decades ago. Joanno men

How Frol Taylor, » Member of the Gal
lant 180 th N. V., V. 1., Finally
Fonnil What lie Has Sought
Since the War Cloned.
(From tlu i Ashtabula, Ohio, B tar on.)
Mr. Prod Taylor was born and brought up
near Elmlra, N. Y., nnd from there enlisted
in the 189 th regiment. N. Y., V. 1., with
which ho went through tho war aud saw
much hard service. Owing to e.\|>osuro and
hardships during tho service, Mr Taylor con
tracted chronic diarrhoea, from which he ha*
sulTered now over thirty years, with abso
lutely uo help from physicians. By nature
he was a wonderfully vigorous man. Had
ho not been, his disease aud the experiments
of tho doctors had killed him long ago.
Laudanum was tho only thing which afford
ed him relief. Ho hail torriblo headaches
his nerves wore shattered, he could not sleep
an hour a day on au average, aud he was re
duced to a skeleton. A year ago ho und his
wife sought relief In a change of climate and
removed to Geneva, Ohio; but tho cliango in
health cumo not. Finally, on tho recom
mendation of F. J. HoiTuer, the loading drug
gist of Ge..eva, who was cognizant of similar
eases which l'ink Pills had cured, Mr. Taylor
was persuaded to try a bos. "As a drowning
man grasps a straw, so I took tho pills," says
Mr. Taylor, "but with no more hope of
rescue. But after thirty years of suffering
and fruitless search for relief I at last fouud
it in Dr. Williams' l'ink l'ills. The day aftorl
took tiie first pills I commenced to fool bettor,
and when I hail fakeu the first bo* I was in
fact a new man." That was two months ago.
Mr. Taylor has since taken more of the pills
and his progress is steady, and he has the
utmost confidence in them. Ho has regained
full control of his nerves and sleeps as well
as in his youth. Color is cuining back to his
parched veins nnd he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly, lie is tiuw able to do con
siderable outdoor work.
As lie concluded narrating his sufferings,

add her testimony in lavor of Pink Pills.
"To the pills nl<'iu> is due the credit of rais

The Lapwings' Drill.
Don Felix de Azara, a Spanish gen
eral and naturalist, describing a small
fineb, which he aptly named Osoil
ador, says that early and late in the
day it monnts vertically to a moderate
height; then flies off to a distance of
tweniy yards, describing a perfect
ourve in its passage. Turning, it flies
back over the imaginary line it has
traced, and so on repeatedly, reap
pearing like a pendulum swung rapid
ly in space by an invisible thread.
The display of the lapwings, called
by the natives of La Plata its
"square" or "serious dance," requires
three performert Tho birds indulge
in it all the year round," and at fre
quent intervals during tho day, and
also on moonlight nights. Ouo bird
leaves his mate and approaches two
others, who welcome him with notes
and signs of pleasure. Advancing to
the visitor, they place themselves be
hind him, and all three, keeping step,
begin a rapid march, uttering reso
nant drumming notes iu time with their
movements, the notes of tho pair be
hind being emitted in a stream like a
drum roll, whilo tho leader utters
loud single notes at regular intervals.
The march ceases, the leader elevates
his wings and stands erect and mo
tionless, still uttering loud notes,
while the other two. with puffed out
plumage and standing exactly abreast,
stoop forward and downwards until
the tips of their beaks touch the
earth, and sinking their voices to a
murmur, romain for some time in this
posture. Tho performance is then
over, and the visitor returns to his
own ground and mate, to receive a
visitor himself there later on during
tho dance.—New York Advertiser.
(jroniug Scarcily ot Furs.
Fur-bearing animals are becoming
scarcer, not only in British North
America, but as well in our own far
northwestern possessions. There is a
noticeable deereaso in the catch of
Alaskan fox, sable, ermine and mar
ten. Tho bluo fox of Alaska is an
especially valuable and beautiful fur.
The white fox, which many think very
handsome, is still comparatively cheap,
and is used for small rugs rather than
an article of apparel.—San Francisco
Examiner.
tTHAT lump in a
man's stoni a c li
which makes him
irritable and misera
ble and unfit for bus
iness or pleasure is
caused by indiges
tion. Indigestion,
like charity, covers
a multitude of sins.
The trouble may be
in stomach, liver,
bowels. Wherever it
is, it is caused by the
presence of poison
ous, refuse matter
which Nature has
been unable to rid
herself of, unaided.
In such cases, wise
people send down a
little health officer,
personified by one
of Dr. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets, to search
out the trouble and
remove its cause.

properly used it can be overcome and the insidious foe
vanquished. Hope, courage, proper exercise, will

A circus is a circular areua of four
teen yards nine inches in diameter,
surrounded by benches, says tho Inter-
Ocean. Fourteen yards -nino inche?
ia the regulation size. The uuvarying
dimensions of the arena respond to a
double necessity—the exigency of the
man aud the exigency of the animal.
The performer is instinctively nomad,
both through disposition and interest.
It is therefore ixost important that,
although he continually changes hie
locality, ho should find the eceno of
his performance unvaried.
This rule is extremely convenient
for men, but it is indispensable for
animals. A performing horse must
find in whatever spot he appears be
foro tho public a ring of fourtoen
yards nino inches, sanded to a depth
of three inchos aud a quarter, sur
rounded by a palisade opening in two
places only and low enough to enable
it to walk around with tho foro hoofs
on the red cushion and tho hind legs
in the arena. This is in deference to
1112 horse's ono great faculty of mem
ory, which dominates all the methodH
of tho trainer in handling him.
