Farm and Garden Notes.
Clear and thorough culture tells.


Don't fail to have good garden.
Moss in meadows means wet, poor soil
underneath.
If there is spare time put the gates and
fences in order.
Rock salt, put where it can be licked
at pleasure, suits sheep.
Cattle should be fed partly in the barn
throughout the season and not be forced
to depend upon pasturage.
Muskmelons, which are harder and
more easily raised than watermelons and
have a richer flavor, should be especially
planted at country homes in the off
years of orchard fruits.
A good way to distinguish mushrooms
is to sprinkle salt on the spongy or under
side. If it turns yellow, the specimen is
poisonous; if black, it is wholesome.
The cultivation of the potato crop
cannot begin too early or be too thorough.
The period of growth is short, but we
ought to give them every possible chance
while growing.
A good force-pump with which the
orchardist may apply insecticides early
in thu season and thus prevent loss from
insects, is one Of the requisites of the re-
munerative fruit farm.
Well-rotted COW manure is the best
fertilizer that can be used, but the man.
ure can be put on green in the fall if de-
sired.
A great many farmers say that it does
not pay to raise oats. The trouble IS
that they figure by the market value in
stead of the feeding value.
1t is the lively, snowy tree crickets
that cut off leaves, stems and blossoms
of the grape, girdle the stems of rasp-
berries and cause twig blight in apple,
ounce and other fruit trees.
A farmers wife tells the Farm and
Home that if butter makers will put their
cream through a thin linen bag just be-
fore churning it, they will not be both
cred with white specks in the butter.
According to some experiments re-
Gently made in Holland, cattle fed on
hay with other food increased in live
weight more than those fed with en-.
silage, but those fed with ensilage gave
more and better butter.
All young animals are more easily
stuuted while they are dependent upon
milk as their principal food than at any
other time, and for this reason consider
able care should be exercised to see that
steady growth is maintained. A
stunted animal is not desirable, to say
the least.
A New York farmer states that he
used only coal gas tar to prevent the
ravages of the potato beetle. He puts
a gallon of tar in tub, over which he
pours boiling water, which is allowed to
settle and cool. This is sprinkled over
the vines with an ordinary sprinkler. A
gallon of tar, costing seventy-five cents,
suffices for several acres of potatoes.
There is q greater demand for ever
green corn than for any other. 1t is
late, and, therefore, preferred for can
ming. 1t is very large and sweet, and,
therefore, in demand for soiling and en-
silage. Being late and large, it is diff.
cult to cure the seed without fire heat,
which should always be given, to have it
safe from freezing when cold weather
| comes.

To Manage Sitting Hens.

To manage sitting hens, Fanny Field
(good authority, in Poultry Keeper says
it isn't much use to set hens where the
laying hens Can get at them; but, bless
yon, you needn't wait until your hens
offer to sit in some place out of the way
of the rest OF the flock. When your
hens offer to sit put them in ''good
place." and make them sit there. Won't
stay2 Yes they will, too, if you manage
them right.
How to manage them our authority
says, to begin with, have a place for
your sitting hens where the laying hens
can't get in, or the sitters get out. Such
place can be made at tr.Aing expense
by putting temporary partition in your
poultry house. For nests make some
bottomless boxes eighteen inches squale,
with strip five inches wide nailed across
the open front at the bottom. When a
hen wants to sit set one of these boxes
on the floor of your sitting room Ohe
floor is supposed to be covered with dry
earth), put in shovelful of fresh earth,
hollow it out a little in the center,
enough to keep the eggs from rolling
away to the corners of the box, but not
enough so that they will be all piled up
in the middle, cover the earth with a
little fine hay, or choff, or cut straw,
sprinkle in a little sulphur, fine tobacco,
or insect powder, put in three or four
nest eggs and your nest is ready for the
hen.
Don't move the hen the very first night
you find her on nest after sundown
Just let her sit there on some nest eggs
for day or tH'", until she gets her mind
fully made up. Then, after dark, take
her from the nest and place her on the
nest you have prepared in the sitting
room. Handle her gently so as not to
frighten her. Place board so as to
cover the f. ont of the nest, and fasten it
30 that it won't fall down if the hen
happens to hit it. Have few augur
holes in this board so that the hen can
have plenty of air. Leave the hen on
the nest all the next day. Do not go
near her to see Chow she is getting on"

Coming Events.

It has been said, perhaps with some measure of truth, that 'com- ing events cast their shadows be- fore," and at the present time there appears to be without marked prominence or unusual manifestation, a greater inquiry, or rather preparation for a movement in the direction of the development of the vast mineral resources of this country.
 A revival of activities in the older camps and even in those that have been for years abandoned as worthless. the new strikes where labor has been perslstently and intelligently directed, the dls- covery of mineral in localities where previously it was not defi- nitely known to exist, as shown in the reported discoveries in Canada, Michigan, Indiana. Kentucky, Maryland and other unusual terri
 tory, indicate that in the public mind there is a general condition of observation, preparation and interest in this direction. Many who received no returns, bat lost from investment upon a wrong basis, have discovered the ground of their mistake, and with the bet
 ter wisdom gained by experience, are beginning to consider the mai ter os a more intelligent and more judicious investment. Many of the Western mining camps, that have demonstrated by persistent labor the real value and perman- ent character of their ore bodies, are stirring with the notes of prep aration, although no more tangible cause is at hand than the spirit of expectancy and positive certainty which becomes a natural condition when the fitness of things indicates the time for change is at hand.
 The present stock of silver, al though the price IS remarkably low, is not sufficient for ordinary demands, and there is no great amount anywhere on hand. The rapid decrease in the amount of the circulating medium Of ex- change in this couRtry indicates that there must be some provision made for increasing the volume of our national currency, and silver apparently offers the only avail able basis for such extension. The European demand for silver will probably be largely increased. There are also indications that a foreign silver syndicate may be created, so that in the light of the present the outlook is altogether favorable for season of marked activity in the development of the

About Silver.

The reasons why the silver men have been so strenuous in insist ing upon putting their amend ments upon the bond buying bill are two fold. No free silver bill will be reported from the commit tee on finance, because a majority of that committee are opposed to it. The only way in which it can be brought before the senate, there fore, is by moving it as an amend ment to some other bill, to which it is germane, but it makes great deal of difference to what bill such amendments are made. Some are certain to be passed, because they are necessary, and this bond bill Is looked upon as one of them. It has already passed the senate by a very positive majority, and there is scarcely a doubt of its success in the house. But the amend ments which it carries through with 1t do not cover near as much ground as the friends of silver had hoped for. It makes no attempt at free coinage, but successfully heads off the contraction of the currency which would have been the inevitable result of the bond buying bill if it had become law in the shape in which it was first introduced. The amendments provide that nothing in the bill shall be so construed as to inter- fere with the compulsory coinage of S2,000,000 a month, and also that when bank note circulation is surrendered, if equal amount is not taken by other banks within thirty days, the secretary of the treasury shall buy silver bullion, equal in value to the amount of bank note circulation surrendered, and cause the same to be coined into silver dollars, in addition to the amount required to be coined by the present law.
 The public journals and public men of the west cannot too strong Iy or too frequently press upon the attention of congress and the government the fixed determina- tion of the people of the country that silver is there to stay" and that if any change is made Tn the present volume of our circulation 1t must be in the direction of more rather than less. The public sentiment of the country, ire spective of party, is thoroughly crystalized upon the point that there must be no discrimination against silver, and no contraction of the curreney.-Albuquerque Journal.
