FARM NOTES.

There are 10000 women belonging to
oranges in the United States.
If hog is worth having on farm,
then he is worth feeding till he is at his
best.
You can not make your scrub pigs
weigh $50 pounds at nine months, but
good breeds can be made to do it. =
Avoid top ventilation in the poultry
house. 1t will cause roup, swelled heads,
closed eyes and other difficulties.
Pleuro-pneumonia is reported in Aber-
deenshire and Kincardinshire, Scotland,
and Cumberland, England.
= Chickens can be fattened in twelve
days to two weeks if they are kept in a
partly dark place and fed all they will
eat.
There is a general complaint among
breeders of shortage in pigs, and before
the season is over the scarcity will be
felt.
All profit from dairy cow comes from
the food over and above that which is
necessary to sustain the mere functions
of life.
Texas horsemen are enthusiastic over
the success of the cross of the French
draught horse with their native Texas
mares.
With proper care and skill we'll direct
ed flock of the right kind Of sheep can be
made to pay 100 per cent. on their cost
every year.
DR.. Loring says that nothing but a
horse should be called a thoroughbred.
Cattle of that class, he says, should be
called pure bred.
Beets may be kept fresh through the
winter by packing in sand; this will pre-
serve their faqor and keep them from
drying up.
Dressed meats have been successfully
shipped from Buenos Ayres to England.
Grass is very rich and furnishes luxuriant
pasturage.
Give the sheep a mess of ground oats
every evening from now until the lamb
ing period. As soon as grass fails give
them all the hay they can eat.
High-bred horses should not be worked
in collar, because their shoulders are so
sharp-pointed and slanting that the col
lar will not fit over them.
Near Stockholm, Sweden, a farmer and
his father before him have successfully
cultivated tobacco upon the same few
acres of land for fifty years.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

By using soda water as wash you can
clean ceilings that have been smoked by
kero seue lamp.
If you drop SCOT on the carpet, cover
thickly with salt, and it may be swept up
without blacking the carpet.
Cloths dipped into hot potato water are
recommended for immediate and com
plete relief in the severest cases ofssrheu-
matism.
Babies socks of knitted silk or yarn are
filed with rose-bGds and other small flow
ers and sent as floral offerings to new
born infants.
To clean brass bird cages, use a table
spoonful of salt and cupful of vineg ar:
beat and apply with piece offannsl and
rub till dry.
Flowers of sulphur sprinkIed on hot
shovel and the fumes inhaled while
they are fresh will cure colds in the
head. A teaspoonful Of sulphur is suffi-
cient and does not cause disagreeable SEN
sations.
A ling Bag to hold coppers, is pref
ty bazaar novelty. 1t is knitted in brigot
colors in imitation of small pitcher;
the neck of the jug is ribbed and draws
in, so keeping the contents from falling
out.

Independent journalism

Importance, marched in to the editor
with my copy. He took it and read it,

who will walk in, and the trouble
with those fellows is that they don't give
you time to argue. You get it, and there
you are; so We'll cut his name out and
simply say well-known citizen. Then
you say he did it deliberately. Thatll
never do. I'll just put in that it may have
been accident. because of course, it may
have been, you know. [ see you give the
names of the other men who were there.
Do you want to bring the whole gang

they'll take their ad. out and mebbe come

just Plain Hash.
New York World .

heard story of high social life the
other day which may interest people fond
of studying the lights and shades of
Washington life. The wife or A certain
millionaire who Is well known in Wash.
lngton for her lavish social eccentricities
was calling the other day upon the wife
OF prominent Washington resident.
The call was made just before luncheon
hour. The lady who was receiving this
call is very plain and matter of fact. She
hoped all through the call that lunch
would not be announced. She had heard
so many stories of the Oriental splendor
Of the feasts served each day in the
lavishly furnished house of her caller
that she did not care to have so distin-
guished guest without some special
preparations usher honor. That day q
hot hash had been prepared by the cook.
This was the main feature of their lunch.
and the Washington lady thought with
horror of asking the distinguished caller
to go out and lunch upon common vulgar
every day hash. But before the caller
was ready to 60 the servant opened the
door between the parlor and dining-room
and announced "Dunch!" The lady of
the house could not do less than invite
her caller TO take lunch with her. hoping
that she would refuse and go. But the
latter accepted ana sailed out with great
dignity to the bright, modest dining
room. Hash was placed in front of the
great lady. She tasted it first with great
caution and then she exclaimed with
great vivacity, "Oh, what delicious dishl
You must tell me what it is. [ must have
the recipe for that for my cook"
The lady of the house said in reply,
ut Is hash" The visitor then repeated
word "hash," as if to fasten this hitherto
unheard of word describing the unknown
dish in her mind. But this is not the end.
The lady of the house was surprised at
receiving the next day note from the
rich lady in which she said: 'You mxst
surely send the recipe of that delicious
dish-hash, I think you called it. / am
going to give lunch party to-morry and
[ wish to introduce that delicious dish in
my menu"

Too Expensive to LIVE.
San Francisco Chronicle.

She rushed to the telephone and rang il
madly. They connected her with the vet
Urinary surgeon and her message was
brief and concise.
"Cone right out. You're wanted al
once. Don't wait for the car, but take a
coupe, and get out as quick as you can"
And he came rushing out.
''What is it?''
"Poor Henrietta Maria! She's very
sick"
"Henrietta Maria! Who's she?"
sob, she's very sick"
II suppose it's new mare she's been
buying" the doctor said to himself.
"Where is she?"
''She's lying on lot of straw in a warm
corner of the stable, and oh, doctor, I'm
afraid she'll die. You must save her."
So they rushed out together to the sta
BILE. He didn't see any sick mare, but she
led him into a corner and pointed to
something lying there, very small.
''What is it?"
otis Henrietta Maria, my pet chicken.
She's so SICK
The vet was somewhat taken aback,
but he laughed, and having examined the
chicken and done something for it, he
departed. It was week later, and her
husband looked up from his dinner.
"By the way, my dear, paid the vet a
bill, to-day. [ don't recollect sending for
him, but he said you knew about it. You
never told me that he had been here"
ooh, forgot, dear. want you to go
into Jones' when you go down town, to-
morrow, and tell them to save me some
eyes, but what was the vet up here
about?'
Il had letter from New York, to- day,
and they are all just disappointed to
Eyes; but what did you want with the
vet?"
at was for Henrietta Maria"
"Who is Henrietta Maria?"
''It was-she is-well-she is a chicke n
and she was taken sick"
Great Scot! a chicken? a six-bit
chicken! and here's the bill: For ser
vices, $15; for coupe, $3.50; total, $780,
Anna to the servant, tell Lee to wiring
Henrietta Maria's neck and cook her for
dinner tomorrow night. 1t is not every
day fellow can eat $3.50 chicken.
She's too expensive to live"

Wheat Cultivation in South America


1t is announced that the extension of
railways in the Argentine Republic has
so far progressed as to connect Buenos
Ayres and San Juan. This must count
for good deal in extending the area
planted to wheat, and concerning which
in South America so much has been writ
ten of late. In reference to this item the
London Miller says that England with
her narrow area and teeming population
must welcome any accession to the var
ious graneries of the world, and there
can be no doubt but that the Argentine
Republic will enter the ranks of the
great wheat exporting countries of the
earth as soon as the means of intern al
transit are fairly developed. The area
of land available for wheat growing is
known to be of very respectable dimen-
sions and Englishmen may look forward
to time i'll the not distant future when
the La Plata wheat will be no insignificant
factor in their supply of foreign gain.
