FARM NOTES.
The WOrL OF Farmers wives.

Farmers are very much inclined to
complain Of the work they have to per
form, and the hardships they have to on
durc during the summer season, Asa
rule, however, they never consider the
work and hardships Of the toiIcrs in the
kitchen during the same period. There
ia no question about it being hard work
10 cut hay and grain with the mercury
in the thermometer way up in the nine
ties. 1t il well to remember that manual
labor in the fields, however, has been
reduced to the minimum. There are
row machines not only for cutting grass
hut for spreading, raking, pitching and
unloading it. Some Of these are con-
'tructed 50 that the operator sits under Il
canopy while he performs his work. The
dayso cutting grain hy any hand instru
ment have passed, and Il machine now
cuts the grain and places it in gavcls all
ready TO be bound into shcaves. The
present generation Of farmers are not re-
quIre to work in the hot gun mtrs than
ON" bIth Of the time their fathers did in
order to secure a crop Of hay aud grain,
While many changes have been made
Ia tighten the labor Of men during The
summer and TO render their work com.
Portable, nothing has been dOneto render
woman's work less fntiguinp, 1t is true
that the cooking stow" has been intro
duccd, Tut the claim for its introduction
was not that it would reduce the labor
OF cooking, but that it would save fuel.
tr most farmers dislike to purchase lucl
or to prepare IL. The cooking stove Ger
lalnly " an improvement in preparing
food tur the table, and it il also true that
1t - a very uncomfortable article Of
kl chen furniture during the summer.
with the oId-laShioncd open fire place
and the brlcS oven, cooking could be
don" and the kitchen kept at II com
Portable degree of heat. The heat
went up the chimney and not into the
room vince the work was being per.
formed, with the old brick oven a
meal could be prepared and kept warm
lr a goodIy number Of hours. With
the open fire there wa Il good draft
through the kitchen and accordingly it
was comparatively cool.
Machinery has not been introduced
INTO the Kitchen as it has into the fields
and barns. There are the same old
wasllhoard, ilatiron and iryingpan ~ in
the days when grass was cut with the
hand 'scythe, spread with II fork, and
raked with a cheap implement that the
farmer made himself or bought for a
few shiIIinps. improvements have gone
forward very rapidly out Of doors but
have been at n stand-st;II in the house.
IT. Is question il farmers wives were
ever Obliged to work as hard or in 80 hot
an atmosphere during the summer AZ at
the present time. Improvements to
icnd 7 housekeeping comparatively easy
have been introduced into cities, but
with rare exceptions have they found
their way into the country. In cities
and Villages water is carried into kitchens
nn' carried away without further trouble
than Turning Il faucet or touching a
spring, In the country, however, water
mu-t be obtained from n well at some
distance from the house and carried away
in n hand bucket.

A. j.. WILLARD, of San Mateo county,
California, gives a very simple, and, in
his experience, a veryctIective safeguard
against rats and mice. He takes two
round pieces of tin, like the bottom of a
fruit can, punches a hole in the corner of
each piece, and strings them on a string
wire, II near each end. Then he
stretches the wire from side to side of a
room and fastens each end firmly. Any
thing which is hung upon the wire be.
tween the platcsof tin lssate from the rats,
for if they walk out upon the wire every
time they try to mount the circle OF tin it
revolveI and they can not pass over it.
Mr.. Willard has found the simple con-
trivancc very useful in saving meat,
grain, etc, and advises all farmers to
try it.

EAR MARKS or BUTTER COws.-At Il
recent meeting of the d%airymen's asso
citation in the eastern states, experienced
dairymen said they attached much i'm.
portance to the color of the inside of a
COW as a test of her butter producing
ability. A rich yellow color on the in
side of the ear, one speaker said, he had
never known to fail as a sign of a good
butter.cow, and one that would give
rich milk. DR.. Sturtevant regards the
color of the ear a good guide, but calls
attention to the necessity, when observ.
ing, for clearing away the secretions that
may have accumulated on the skin,
and which may be darker than the skin
itself.

OATS AND PEAs.-Oats and peas sown

der, The two crops together, upon one
acre of good soil, will yield nearly, if net
quite as much, fodder as would an acre of
each sown separately. We have sown
two bushels of oats and six pecks of peas
to the acre. If sown early the fodder
may be cut for soiling cows or horses in
May or June, and a succession for con.
tinuous use may be sown every two
weeks until early in May. Roll the
ground after sowing so that the crop may
be cut with a mower. which may easily
be done, as the oats support the peas and

MANAGING CABBAGES, - Sometimes
cabbages show little disposition to form
compact heads. There are leaves enough,
and they are large and thick, but they
hang loose and often incline toward the
ground. Cabbagcs of this kind may be
made to have compact heads v against
their will. This may be done by bringing
the loose leaves near together, commenc-
ing with those nearest the center and
continuing to the outer ones, while the
whole are tied together, Shrcds of old
cotton cloth or the bark of Eastwood
trees answer well for tying up the heads,
sometimes the heads Of cabbage are too
compact; they crack open and are ruined
before the approach of cold weather.
When cabbage-head5 show a disposition
to crack open it is best to stop hoeing
the plants, and 1t is well to cut off the
roots on two sides with Il sharp spade,
This will relard the growth, and do much
to insure good firm heads.
