THE HOME CIRCLE AND FARM.
Farming Notes.

President Wilder estimates the value
of our fruit crop, annually, at $40, OOO,-
900.
Most of the farm papers which VEN
ture to express opinions are daring Of
late to speak out boldly against the
abuses of so-called agricultural fairs.
In the month of August the United
Kingdom exported 1852 horses against
1000 in the same month in 1888. OF
these 90 came to the United States. In
the same time the United Kingdom i'm
ported 1851 horses, against 2,44O and
1913 respectively in August, 1888 and
1882.
Weakness in young calves is due to
the poor condition Of the COWS, but
often to exposure tocold, which reduces
the vitality Of the COW; and of course
the calves suffer. The best thing to
be done is to give the COWS
some nourishing food for some time
before they calye, as oatmeal or llnseed
Cruel, with a teaspoonful of ginger and
a pint of molasses, and TO give the calf
a littls weak gin and water, well sweet
ened, by means of a spoon. An ounce
or so will be enough each time five or
six times a day.
Muck alone is of little use as a man
ure when applied to land. By COM
postingi it with manure in the proportion
of one load of manure to four or five of
muck, the compost makes a good dress
ing for meadows upon all sorts of soil.

Some years ago a bean harvester was
invented by a farmer in Western New
York, and was used successfully. But
at present no one seems to know where
the machine and its inventor are. If
any reader in the locality mentioned
can inform us about this machine we
shall be pleased to hear of it, as there
are several inquiries in regard to it. A
bean harvester is much needed, and is
indispensable where MANY acres of this
crop are grown.

then there Is trouble in the wash and
ruin in the linen closet. The primary
movement in both these cases would
have supplied the proper iron stand and
the colOred d'oyley first. But 1t Is
chiefly in avoiding the useless litter"
and confusion that children and their
elders make about a that the say
ing tells. It is just as easy in opening
letters and taking off the wrappers Of
newspapers to drop all the bits into the
waste basket ct once as it IS to occupy
somebody's five minutes / gathering
them up afterwards. Teach the maid,
little or full-grown, that it she Will
have clean hands before opening a door
then the door jam does not have to be
rubbed off afterwards with ammonia to
get the marks of. Teach the child
with its candy not to touch anything
else with sticky" fingers; one small girl
in New York used to be set down at a
table with plate before her, and taught
to eat her candy with a fork. This was
going to the opposite extreme; fork and
plate had to be washed afterwards, but
not the hands or the furniture. 1t ought
to be sufficient to have the child know
it must wash its hands after such sweet
meats, and not spoil the comforts OF
other people who come unawares on a
STICKY" door-handle or chair back.
Every door-mat is a sign put ont for
the primary movement and every scra-
per. When they are not used then
somebody has to sweep up all the foot
marks from the summer linen
floor covers, the delicate carpet
or the pretty OILED floor. Ii you
shut in our windows when the
blow m up that precedes a thun-
der gust you will not have to spend a
half hour busting the house. If you
shut in the outside shutters at such a
time you will keep the parlor window
pane from being splashed and stained.
If you put a thick pad Of cuttings from
old comfortables or the bought carpet
Innings for the stairs on the edge OF each
step you will not have so often to mend
or shift a worn carpet on the stairway.
All of this is familiar, doubtless to
Household" readers, but, there are a
hundred other matters that may be
considered as they come up in which
the first way of doing things saves steps
and time and trouble. Especially is
this to be noticed in fitting up the
rooms where you live or work. Have
the most needed articles close at hand,
even if you have to put up two or three
small shelves on the wall, or hang two
or three convenient bags close by, or
put in one or two extra pockets in your
apron.-Philadelphia Ledger.

How unfortunate it is for woman to

OF this kind seldom have cause to be
suspicious Of their wives. ] know one
OF the 1ovliest Of young married women,
who is as good q wife to him as any
man could wish for, but the jealousy he
bears for her is really absurd. He does
not care to have men visit her, and it
puts him into a great temper if he sees
her walking in the street With any man
SO much so, that she fears to have q
male acquaintance come up and join her
in the street. A friend ef niiife told
me that one afternoon he met her In

with her, but they had not walked two
blocks before she said to him "L-

The Spare Bed.

In view Of the many serious and
sometimes fatal attacks OF sickness
known to have been occasioned by sleep
ing in "The Spare Bed"-unoccupied
perhaps several weeks and gathering
dampness all THAI time-we venture,
even at risk of encroachnent upon the
domain of Home Interests" to quote
here a bit of good advice from The
Michigan Farmer:
at seems the plain duty of every
hostess either to make up her spare bed
as ii is needed, or rob it of it's sheets
and blankets long enough to air and
dry them thoroughly before a fire be-
fore putting a guest in the room. Some
good housekeepers never make APP a
seldom used bed except as it is used,
but tuck the counterpart over the
mattress, and put on the sheet and
pillow shams, that the room niay not
look en- deshabille, and bring bedding
from the closet to make it up. This is
a good plan. Even if q fire can be
made in a guest room, the ~bedclothing
should be spread out before it and the
bed remade after airing and before oc-
cupancy. This may be extra work, but
a with a conscience worth mem
tioning will not weigh her trouble by
the side of her guests comfort, let alone
the risk of having o serious or perhaps
fatal illness traced to sleeping in damp
sheets at her house.

Cheese for Home Use.

The following essay on "How to make
the Cheapest and Best Cheese for Home
Use" we take from the Farmers Advo-
cate, published at Ontario, Canada.
The author, Miss Maggie Webster, If
Prince Edward Island, is a practical
cheese maker. Her essay won one of
the prizes offered by the Advocate. 1t
may help those who are DESTROYS of
making a few cheeses for home use,
during the summer, when it is often
difficult keeping the cream good for
butter making.
Every pound of cheese requires ten
pounds of milk, and a ten-pound cheese
veniently made. A clean tub which
will hold the milk, and a boiler large
enough to hold ten gallons win be need
ed. A small press, which any smart
boy can make, with a lever to hang a
stone upon. will also be required, and
then the know how is oil the rest.
Making cheese is q chemical operation,
and depends greatly, like all cther such
work, upon temperature. One can not
be safe without a thermometer, as q
rule of the thumb will not be precise
enough.
The first thing to do is 10 bring the
milk to q temperature of 80 degrees.
This makes a soft cheese q higher tenn
perature will make a hard one. The
milk may he of two milkings; the even
ing milk, set in a deep pail in the cellar,
and Stirredlate at night and early in the
morning TO keep the cream from sepa-
rating, and the morning milk mixed with
it as 1t is strained after milking. If any
cream has risen on the evenings milk it
may be skinned of. The evenings
milk may be warmed to 100 degrees and
then added to the fresh mornings milk,
which viii be about 80 degrees; the
whole viii then be about the right tenn
perature, which is 90 degrees. The
rennet is then added. This il the liquid
made by sleeping q piece of the dried
stomach of d sucking calf in, warm
water. For 100 pounds Of milk, or forty
five quarts, a piece Of the rennet about
a. large as ones thumb. or two inches
long by one inch wide. is put in a quart
Of warm water III the evening, with half
q tablespoonful Of salt. In the morning
this liquid Is strained into the warm

Gravel Roads and Red Tape.

In 1877 the Indiana legislature provid-
ed for building free gravel roads in that
state, and hundreds of miles have been
constructed under this law, at al average
cost of over s 1000 per mile. Forty
per cent of that expense went for what
a correspondent of the local Farmer
calls "red tape"-"attorneY's, engineers,
viewers, auditors, treasurer's and super
intendent's fees, advertisements, etc. To
this unnecessary and unjust" outgo the
citizens of Franklin Township. in Mont
gomery County, wisely declined to sub
NIT. And here is what happened:
"Not willing to be numerically taxed
to improve our roads we have built fif-
teen miles at an average of 5000 per
mile. In point of merit, our roads are
as good as those built under the law.
The county commissioners have
pronounced some of u roads
the best in the county. Last
year for the building of two
and three-quarters miles of road
we raised by subscription 81, 40. In
the spring, with our teams. ploughs and
a goodroad grader, we soon constructed
our grade. In the fall We hauled the
gravel, completed the road and paid for
the same out of the above subscription,
with So left. The parties constructing
the road we're the men interested and
they worked, promptedby self interest.
Teams were on the road before day
light and often until after dark. Sub
scribers generally worked out their sub
scriptions, and but little money was
used. At the same time this road wss
being built, another road three miles
south, and parallel with this, was being
built under the provisions of law.
While we built at acost of little more
than $500 per mile, the one under the
law, cost 50, 500 per mile, and the uni
versal verdict is the road built under
the law with its enormous burden of
tax, is not as good as u cheap road
built under common-sense and neigh
borhood enterprise"
The practical teaching of this sugges-
tive contrast is obvious. "Let farmers
have more confidence in their W abil-
ity rely on themselves; cooperate and
escape the meshes of costly red tape"
