FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Dirty boots are as much out of
place on the hay as on carpet.
"A section of broken wagon pole
makes a good tamper or ram-rod, for
use in setting posts
Pastures can not be continually
cropped without something being re-
turned to prevent loss of fertility.
The man who has all his heavy
wagons built with four-inch tire on
the wheels should have rebate OF
fifteen per cent from his road tax.
Corn land can not be turned over
too soon, as the frost will greatly as
sist in reducing it. The cltworm is
the principal enemy TO contend with
when the corn is young, and the best
remedy is TO plow the ground early
enough to allow the cutworms to be
turned up TO the frost
Mortar made in the following
manner will stand if used, i'll almost
all sorts of weather: Olc bushel of
unslaked lime, three bushels OF sharp
sand; mix one pound of alum with one
pint of linseed oil, and thoroughly
mix this with the mortar when max
inc it, and use hot. The alum will
counteract the action of the frost on
the mortar. - ....
Kerosene is of great help in the
proper care Of poultry. Their nest
boxes should be oiled with it as pre-
ventive of vermin. A few drops oc-
casionally in the drinking water Will
hinder colds or roup, and when ap-
piled to scaly legs it effects cure
while it is highly recommended as a
cure for cholera.
The Science Of Hea'h says: III
farmers would avoid suddenly cooling
the body after great eXertions. if they
would be careful not 10 go with wet
clothing and wet feet and if they
would not overeat when in that eX-
hausted condition, and bathe daily,
using much friction, they would have
little or no rheumatism.
1t is more trouble to hatch eggs
in early March, and eggs are also
dearer at this time. But it should be
remembered that it is these early pull
lets that will mako the best layers
next winter if given good care. The
later matches do not mOult until cold
we ather comes, and this checks them
at a time when egg production is more
profitable than at any other.
Oil, says the america" Aqrjc~tt-
uriSt, is fatal to every insect it
touches, and sulphur is very offensive
to them. A mixture of four ounces of
lard and one of sulphur, well rubbed
together, and with the addition OF one
ounce of Kerosene oil and one drachm
of creosote, will be found an eXcelen
remedy against all sorts of insect
vermin, while the liberal use of kero-
sene oil on poultry roots will free the
fowls of their tormentors
Grass lands, as q rule, are neg
lected by our small farmers, But
little attention i paid to draining in
fall and winter, and no mulching or
attempted improvements Assoon as
the warm weather approaches, sheep
and COWS are turned in to feed on the
young blades. and if the COWS give
milk, and the lambs grow fairly well
for the butcher, that ends the matter
If more care were given to seeding
down and getting II good stand CT
grass, no better means could be de-
vised TO insure improved methods OF

exists than Hostetter's Stomach Bltters,

Now VS.. hen

Our oldest inhabitant delights to refer to the
good old times but when you pin him down he
reluctantly yet honestly admits that he can not
name an item or an industry that is not greatly
improved in these later days.
Take for instance the article Hoods Sarsa-
parila Why, it would have been almost an
impossibility to have produced it in the olden
time.
In the preparation Of this medicine the arti'
cles which investigation has proven to be inert
are discarded, those which have proven their
merit are retained and q combination formed
Of the most effective medical agents OF the
vegetable kingdom peculiar to this medicine
alone. Their active properties are secured by
process so modern and original that an emf
nent professor in the Massachusetts College OF
Pharmacy, while being shown through G. l.
Hood g. Co.'S mammoth establishment, stopped
and looking Mr. Hood in the eye exclaimed,
"This is the present, that is the past, re
ferring to competing houses.
Another point worthy of mention right here:
Hoods Sarsaparilla is not an accident, but the
ripe fruit of industry and study. 1t was origin
ated by men thoroughly educatedin the manip-
ulation OF medicines and is made to-day under
their personal supervision. II the public could
see the care exercised in the selection and pur-
chase OF every article that enters into Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and the cleanliness and neatness
with which its whole preparation is conducted,
they would not wonder at its great curative
power or at the hold it has on public confidence,
Its success is the natural result Of real merit
and giving every purchaser fair equivalent for
his money-One hundred doses one dollar.

PAST FINDING OUT.
Tine Ways of "A Woman Armed with
an Umbrella or ParasoI


the Ways of a woman Armed with
AN Umbrella or ParasoI.
Among the things enumerated by
Solomon as past finding ont should
have been included the way Of the wo-
man with an umbrella; and he who
Observantly walks the streets in these
days when every member of softer
sex carries a sunshade. will feel that
the author of Ecclesiastes missed
golden opportunity in not being able
to add this item to the list of things too
wonderful for him.
The woman with an umbrella, In
the first place. says writer in the
Boston Courier, assumes that the side
walk is laid down for her sole and
especial use. With certain oriental
potentates the umbrella is sign of
authority in virtue of which all be-
holders are expected to understand
that 1t is their duty TO make way and
give the road to the exclusive use of
the high and mighty lord of the UNI
berella In virtue of some subtle in-
stinct the moment a woman takes in
her hand asunshade and walks abroad,
all the oriental significance of that in
sigma seems TO impress itself upon her
soul. and she goes forth to take posses
sion of the streets that have become
hers by right Unfortunately she lacks
the guards which are provided to en-
force respect to the unfurled umbrella
of the potentates size initiates, and she
is, therefore, obliged to do her own
fighting. But with what a glorious
and effective zeal she does it! How
men who venture rashly to come in
her way are swept aside. their hats
knocked in the dust their eyes proc
ded, their faces scratched by the points
with which the circumference of the
parasol bristles. How women who
presume to display like signs of rank
are hustled, banged and frowned upon,
and with what rancor rival sunshades
clash together. The amount of vim q
woman can put into the trust she gives
to the sunshade of another woman
goes far to redeem the charge of weak
ness and physical inferority.
The result of the triumphal progress
of women with a sun-umbrella is dis
asterous. Her path is strewn with
wrecks disappearing men pursue
their hats along the payements; women
whose headgear has been disarranged
or whose rival umbrellas have been slis
or hustled, boil with rage as they look
for victims upon whom they may in
turn wreck similar indignities. Every
where indignation. wrath, devastation
and general Generalization testify to
the completeness Of the work and the
might of the woman with an umbrella
