FARM NOTES.

Spinach is one of the early green's. An
appl cation of very fine manure will
hasten it and give a larger crop.
There will probably be larger acreage
Of crops sown here this spring than in
any other county of the same age in the
State.-Igdnhoe (Kda.) Times.
The ground for spring wheat can not be
prepared too early, and it should be not
only deeply ploughed but narrowed until
the seed-bed shall be as fine as the soil can
be made.
Fowls can not possibly thrive and do wei.
ii they be compelled to stand around in the
mud and filth all day long. They must
have place to scratch and exercise. The
horse stable is a most excellent place for
them to rapge in if allowable.
Now IS the time to spread the fine poultry
manEre on the strawberry plants. BY the
tXne the plants shall begin to shoot out the
new growth the manure Will have been
mashed into the soil by the rains. Poultry
manure has been tried on strawberries with
success.
The proposition to secure a car load Of
early seed corn from Iowa to plant in this
county this spring is a move in the right
direction We would have had a splendid
crop in this county last season if tue seed
planted had been of an early variety
Lar,,ed (ha,.) optic.
AS winter 5 fast slipping by, every good
farmer will study out his campaign for
the coming season in accordance with hi,
soil and ms supply of manure. Having
adopted plan, matters should be shaped
at once, so as 10 carry it out to the very let

Somebody advises that in saving seed

but the stalk and unhu sled ear be hung up

Notes..

In procuring trees in the spring it should
not be overlooked that the younger ones
will thrive better than those that are larg-
er The older a tree the greater the liza
bility to loss. Young trees root rapidly
and begin to grow early after transplant
ing.
The honey extractor is simply can con-
tanning a revolving frame. Into this revolv-
ing frame the frames Of honey are placed
and rapidly revolved or whIrled around,
by turning a crank. The centrifugal force
throws the honey from the cells without
breaking or in any i'll dring the combs. The
combs can then be returned to the hive to
be again filed with honey,
There are breeds of fowls that fatten
more readily than others, the same as
among animals, and must be fed cautiously
or they will become too fat to lay. Among
them may be mentioned the Brahmas, Co
chins, Plymouth Rocks and Langshans. In
feeding such fowls com should not be made
an excessive diet.
Cows should not be MIXED when over
heated by fast driving, running or other
wise, for milk taken from a frightened or
heated COW is unfit for food, and sickness in
some form is sure TO follow its use.
If you haven't turnips or parsnips for
your poultry give them fodder or clover
hay. You Will be surprised to see how
much they will eat if it is kept before them
all the time in a clean, nice condition.

fought for 50 uialV years by the freeman

to WaShburn. was Invalid and won the
point n a !Ong series OF cases. The sale OF
the Southern Company means nothing more
nor less than theirintentIou to :aanuiacture
barbed wire under the so-cal.ed patent of
Gndden and avoid the cessi.y OF paying
the tiftcen-cent royalty to Wdshburn. The
Freeman Company's victory thus brings
another unlicensed maker INTO the field,
and does away with the working of the
barbedwire monopoly, which was fought
single-hauded by the Freeman Company.
The latter proved conclusiVeiy in the courts
that the very same wire protected by the
patent had been manufactured publicly
years ago in Iowa and the courts dec d ID
the invaIidIty OF the patent on this basis.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb "A committee
representing the Reading strikers yester-
day called the attention of Attorney-Gen-
eral Kirkpatrick to the fact that the Read
ing Company is engaged IN mining
coal in addition to performing the
duties of common carrier in coal. The
Attorney General ASKED them if they had
no other points on which TO base their re
quest for action by the State against the
company. He also called their attention to
the fact that the road was mining coal IN

constitutional provision referred to had
been adopted, and that the Federal courts

A fearful case of cruelty against boy
was brought to light at Vienna, Austria.
The widow Rosa Brand lived with lover
Of hers, who objected to the son Of Rosa,
a boy Of twelve years, being in the same
house with him. The mother locked the
boy up in a dark room without bed or
any other furniture and kept him there
for more than a year, whom a denuncia-
ton against her was brought by neigh
bors. The Judge had no right by the law
of the land either to punish the woman or
TO take the boy from her. He could only
reprove her and threaten that the boy
would be taken from her il she repeated
the offense.

This Is funny phrase to the uninitiated,
but all the brokers understand it. They
use it when a person gives a certain per

stock on fixed day, at price stated on
the day the option is given. It is often a
serious operation to the dealer, but there Is
a more serious "put and CALI than this

Best of all things to us is home. In hours
of ambition and pleasure We may some
times forget its exquisite sweetness, but let
sickness or sadness come, and we return TO
it at once.
Let the hollow hearts that feign friend
ship which they do not feel stand revealed
before us-let us know, as we all must at
moments, that however important we may
be in our own estimation, our places would
be filled at an hours notice should we die
tomorrow; then we whisper to ourselves
the magic word, "Homer' and are com
forted.
It is where those we love dwell-wherev-
er that may be-where we are valued for
ourselves and are held In esteem because
of what we are in ourselves, and not be-
cause of power. or wealth, or what we can
do for other people.
Who would be without home? Who
would take the worlds applause and honor
In place of The tenderness OF few true
hearts and the coy hreslde meetings where
the truth may be spoken without disguise,
and envious earpings are unknown?
In llfe's battle, even the hero finds many
enemies, and much abuse and slander and
detraction; but Into home, If 1t Is what II
ought to be, these things never find their
way.
