FARM NOTES.

In keeping your COWS healthy and see
ing that they have only clean and whole
some food and water, you serve double
purpose. You not only improve your own
chances for profit, but you contribute to
the promotion of public health by offer
ing only wholesome dairy products for
consumption.
The time for corn planting varies with
the latitude, AID also depends much upon
the weather. When the days are mild and
the ground warm, is a safe rule, wherever
that may be, in all localities. Three con
ditions are essential to the production of
q paying crop of corn, namely. good
seed, d rich pliabls soil and through till
age.
There is always ali uncertainty regard
ing the temperature for churnipg While
from go to 65a is usually accepted as the
proper temperature, the mix of some
cows produce cream that requires as high
as 67s to form butter. On each dairy
farm practical handling OF the milk only
can determine how best to churn for first
class butter.
Worn ont soils can be made fertile if
first manured and green crops grown
thereon and piowed under. IL may re
auire two or three years to bring such Il
soil to fertile condition; but it can he
done. Many mineral elements. such as
lime, soda, magnesia, potash, etc, can
easily be supplanted by the use of artl-
fetal fertilizers.
Seed that is slow oil germination is often
overtaken by grass, the rows being com
pleteIy covered and destroyed. An ex-
celient method OF marking the rows 80 as
to define them, in order to work them
with the hoe, is to drop few radish seed
at intervals of about one foot. As the
radish soon comes up, the rows may be
worked and the radish Gfterwward pulled
out.
If hogs are given a variety of green
food, with but little grain, in summer,
they will keep ia excellent health and be
in proper condition for fattening in the
fall. Less food is required now, and it is
not beneficial to have the hogs fat at this
season, except 10 be in good condition, as
many diseases are due to the system of
heavy grain feeding during warm wealth

EUCADOR's HIDDEN GOLD.
A Vast Treasure in Gold Oft Searched For and
Never Yet Found.

A Vast Treasure in Gold Oft Searched For and
Never Yet Found.
Everybody who has read Prescott's fas
ciaati3g volumes knows what followed:
With the aid of the Spaniards Asahulpa
conquered his brother, aud then the
Spaniards conquered him. When he lay
a prisoner in the hands of the guests he
had treated so hospitality, he offered to
fill his prison with gold If they would re-
lease him. They agreed, and his willing
subjects brought the treasure; but the
greedy Spaniards demanded more. Run.
ners were hCrried ell over the country,
aud the simple unseltish people surren-
dered all their wealth to save their King.
But Piazsrro became tired of waiting for
the treasure, and the men in charge of It,
upon hearing the news that Atahualpa
had been sstaugled, buried the gold and
silver in the Llanganati, where the Span.
iards have been searching for it ever
since.
No amount, OF persuasion, tenn ptation,
nor torture cunld wiring from the Indians
the secret OF the buried gold. Two men
OF modern times are supposed to have
known its hiding place. One of them, an
Indian, became mysteriOusly rich, and
built the Church OF San Francisco, in
Qaito. On his death bed he is said to
nave revealed 10 the priest who confessed
him that his wealth came from the hid
den Inca treasure, but he died without
i'm parting the knowledge OF it's location.
Another man, Valyerde by name, a
Spaniard, married an Inca woman, and
is supposed to have learned the secret
from her, for he sprang from abiect pow
srty to the :umpit of wealth almost in q
single night. S.aserde, when he died,
left "a Legacy 10 the King Of Spain

of fortunes have been wasted, and hun.
dreds OF lives have been lost, in vain at

Character of the Farm.

Character of the Farm.
No man should purchase or enter a
farm without most careful inspection
and knowledge of it's several parts. Not
only the general lay of the lane, but the
nature of the soil and it's power to resist
drouth are the most impor sant economic
question in selecting a farm in the great
prairie regions. A few wet sIoughs, if
they can be drained ont without very
great expense, are not serious objections;
but poor or drouthy soils require too
much labor and manure in proportion to
the crops they return. Far moro mis-
takes are being made by seleetiug dry,
gravelly lands than by accepting land
that has wet "draws" in it. Loose or gen
tly rolling lands are more uniform in
character and more easily cultivated,
wash less, and usually retain the manure
longer than hilly land. Besides, the sur
face is usually near subterranean water
supplies, that can be reached by the deep
descending roots il times of drouth.
Much can be determined by the character
of the growing grass, weeds, trees, craps,
and the general fertility of surrounding
farms. But the soil and subsoil should be
carefully examined. A spade, a small
post auger, or better, two-inch well
auger should be used as tryer, and the
successive layers or deposits noted.
Tho idea of digging to see how much a
farm is worth, RaG appear strange to
some, but it is no more out of place than
using butter or cheese trye-. or turning
box of berries to see their character. In
the market, where competition is sharp,
men are not ashamed to carefully examine
each purchase, and in buying farm a
man should not merely go to one corner,
or walk or drive across it with glance
over the broad acres and guess it TO be
such farm as he wants. While the sur.
face usually indicates the strength of the
soil, the finding of sand, gravel or very
impervious clay subsoils, seould De count
| ed largely against farm. The power of
soil to resist Grouth depends largely
upon its power tc raise moisture from
below. and either coarse gravel, sand or
very impefvious clay subsoil stands as a
barrier between the roots, which cannot
penetrate through such subsoils, and the
supply of moisture beneath. In time of
druuth Is good time to hunt farm, as
prices will be down and better idea can
be obtained of the strength of the soil in
resisting drouth. w. Nj. HAYS

tion routes cannot be over. estimated.
School privileges should also be duly con.
sidered by the young farmer beginning
his life's work. Locating at a place at a
distance from the probable site of a
school may cause more than little re.
gret. Social opportunities should not be
overlooked. Preference should be given
neighborhood that has congenial So
ciety-farmers and villagers to rid in
being not only better farmer bat bet
ter citizen. A farmer who settles in the
midst of enterprising farmers stands r
much better chance of being enterpris-
ing himself than if he settles among the
careless, iniffsrent, and unambitious.

Selecting IA Farm.
Dra{rs.. r,v,ar

It ia the exception where men use
proper care and intelligence in selecting
q farm. The whole subject is too little
understood, especially by young farmers
locating on land--the main part of their
capital for many years, if not for their
whole lives. Real estate sgents and others
desirous of selling land, usually study the
merits of their farms and present all
the good points to the inquirer. The
buyer must, for himself, hunt out the
defects and weigh them in his own mind.
While it il best for farmer to have a
we'll defined idea of the kind of farming
he wishes to pursue, he should allow him
self some fexibility, so as TO adjust his
farming somewhat to some farm that
strikes him as being not only bargain
at the price asked, but being IN most re-
spects suited to his special purpose.
Selecting a farm should be given both
thought aud time in looking aro1nd. By
comparing several farms which more or
less suit the purpose, more clearly de-
fined idea is developed of what Is desired,
and by com p..rison the true value, for the
purpose desired, of each farm Id more
nearly determined. In buying three
thousand dollar farm many farmers are
10th to spend twenty-five or fifty dollars
and months time in looking around,
while in the majority of cases they would
probably gain several times that amount
In the better bargain they could secure,
besides having the satisfaction of know.
ing that they have made a selection that
will not be regretted. The saying among
farmers that "Thres removes are as bad
as one fire." is very true.
OUTSIDE CONSIDERATION.
The country, the climate, the oppor
tunities for good local or foreign mar
kets, the public roads and facilities OF
trans portation, TIE school and special
privileges, are all To be considered in Sc
lecting locality for home. Young
farmers are, in TOO many cases, falsely
modest about looking into the future.
Most farmers eventually have families
which are fer more to them than the
farm itself, and the foresighted young
man will not make the mistake of settling
In either newly or all settled country,
where the customs are such that he would
not wish his wife and children and him
self to grow into them.
With many the matter of climate counts
largely. There Is great liking on the
part OF many to get climate where
they can live with little labor, where
their wants can be reduced to minimum
and their efforts gauged according to
their actual necessities. Engaging in
the production of special crops Decessi-
tates the selection OF climate where
there is assurance of perfect maturity.

the number OF years elapsing in their
general settlement, the lands were
esteemed high at that price by farmers
end grazers. The records in the Office
of the commissioners OF pablo lands and
