glaze the cutting of the corn at that stage ST.
rests the nutritive elements in the stalk and
the fodder is then equal to hay, being fed to
stock with the ears on the stalk or cut up in
a cutter.
The fodder from the early sweet corn is one
of the best foods that can be used for mich
cows. The fodder is improved if cut and stored
in the barn, so as to be kept clean and bright.
If cut up with a cutter cattle will eat every
portion of the stalk.
Stagnant pools of water in the fields should
not be relied upon as the sources from which
the cows are expected to derive water. Impure
water not only affects the health of the cows
but renders the making of choice butter an
impossibility.
Wethers intended for market can be made
fat in short time if separated from the flock
and put In pen for a week before sending
them TO market. The ewes not intended for
breeding should be fattened at the same time.
Raising mules pays for the reason that it
costs less to raise mules than horses, and being
harder, there is less risk of loss. Where there
is plenty OF pasturage young mule will secure
nearly all the food he may require.
Sheep are not profitable if kept as a ''side
business" flock that is given the same at
tentlon that is bestowed on other stock, and
kept as a business venture, will pay a larger
profit for capital invested than any other class
OF stock, but sheep pay best when bred for NUT
ton rather than for wool.
When the branches of the tomato vines look
as if the leaves had been stripped of make q
close search for the green worm, which is about
two inches long and half an inch in diameter
Unless the worm is caught it will eat up all the
foliage, and as it is nearly of the color of the
vines it is easily detected.
1t will not pay to attempt to farm with fewer
horses than are really required. An over
worked horse may be reduced in value more
than the sum that may be derived from the
crop he produces Every farmer should have
spare horse or two in order TO rest the hard
workers, especially in summer.
An excellent mode of Kidding animals of lice
is to add one quart of kerosene to ten quarts of
soapsuds, and with hand sprayer or nozzle of
any kind spray the emulsion the animals. 1t
will kill the lice and the eggs. A thorough
sprinkling with potato water water in which
potatoes have been boiled) will cause lice to
leave, but will not kill them.
Strawberry beds that have not been kept
clean since the berries were off will be quickly
overrun with grass and weeds. If the weeds
are In possession of the bed they may be moved
down. Grass will be more difficult to remove.
and the best that be done is TO clean between
the rows thorough in order to allow room for
the new runners to root and grow.
To secure flowers successively the bushes and
vines must be kept in Towering condition by
not allowing the flowers to remain and go TO
seed. When plant produces seed it has ac-
complished its object, and every seed pod
formed lessons the number of flowers. Ali
flowers should be cut off before they begin to
fade or change color.

NOT SUCH A FOOL AFTER ALL.
The Old Darkey Had Learned How to Duck
During the War.


From where we sat on the tavern veran-
da we could look right across the Missis-
sippi river, although at the edge of the
river, on our side, there was bluff forty
feet high, with a strong current below.
All along this bluff were commons, and
we had an unobstructed view. We were
talking and smoking when goat came
around the corner of an old abandoned
warehouse and began to feed toward us.
Five minutes later an old white-headed
darkey, using a cane to help him along,
came out from behind the same warehouse
and stood almost on the edge OF the bluff
and appeared to gaze across the river.
"What fat take that goat has got, If he
only knew it." whispered one OF the
party.
"What fool OF niger to take such a
risk" growled a second.
We ought to have warned the old man,
who seemed totally unsuspicious of dan
ger, but We didn't. Human nature is just
that way He had been there two or
three minutes, when the goat observed
him and began to twitch his tail. 1t was
none of his business that the man was
there, and no law compelled him to kick
up fuss, but we all saw that he meant to
do it. As he gathered for a run every man
rose up to warn the victim, but no warn
ing was uttered. It was human nature to
want to see the fun. The goat shot away
like flash. and as he drew near he made
long jump TO give full force to the in
tended blow. Next instant both had dis
appeared, and we ran down expecting
to see them struggling in the muddy
waten. As we reached the bluffs the old
man rose up from pit dug within two
feet of the edge, and grinned and lifted his
hat and said:
'Mawnin', gemlen Spected to find
me down dar', [ reckon"
He pointed to the goat, which was
swimming wildly about as the current
carried it down, and one OF the party re-
piled:
Eyes, we certainly thought you were a
goner. You dropped in there, Ell? You
must have been pretty quick about it.
"Wall, sorter, but dat was no trick at
all. Doorin' de wah, when de Yankee
gun-boats lay ober dar' an frowed shot at
de guns up heah, | war one of de Guild
gemlen who handled de shovel an de
sand.bags OATS whar' | 'larned TO duck.
Dem Yankees didn't know me, an dey
kept irwin to kill me, an had to duck
an dodge so often dat after de wah closed
/ nebber got Strengthened up agin. lie
bin layin' fur dat goat more'n two weeks,
an now he's dun gone an won't bodder
nobody no mo-. used to cuss dat wah
when it was goin', but now ] see what a
blessin' it was. Whar' would de old man
be now if de Yankees had not frowed ten
tons of cannon balls at him an Earned
him to duck ?"

Household Hints,

That cool rain water and soda will remove
machine grease from washable fabrics.
That ripe tomatoes will remove ink and other
stains from white cloth; also from the hands
That a tablespoonful Of turpentine boiled
with white clothes will aid in the whitening
process.
That boiled starch is much improved by the
addition of little sperm salt or gum arabic
dissolved.
That kerosene will soften boots or shoes that
have been hardened by water and render them
as pliable as new.
That salt will curdle new milk, hence in pre-
pairing milk pOrridge, gravies, ETC., the salt
should not be added until the dish is prepared.
That kerosene will make tin tea-kettles as
bright as new. Saturate q wooden rag and rub
with it. 1t will also remove stains from var
nished furniture.
That clear boiling water will remove tea
stains and many fruit stains. Pour the water
through the stain, and thus prevent its spread
ing over the fabric.
That blue ointment and kerosene mixed in
equal proportions and applied to the bedsteads
is an unfailing bedbug remedy, as a coat OF
whitewash is for the walls of log house.
That beeswax and salt will make rusty fat
irons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump
of wax in rag and keep it for that purpose.
When the irons are hot rub them first with the
wax rag, then scOur with a paper or cloth
sprinkled with salt.

AN AUGUST FARM BUDGET.
sTocK-RAlsINe's VALUE AFARMER.
Other Topics For Our Agricultural Friends
Among the Poultry-Garden and Field
Notes-Some Good Recipes-House-
hold Hints-For the Siok-Room.

Whether the keeping of stock is for the
purpose OF conducting dairy or for the
sale of meat, says the Philadelphia Record,
the farm itself is made more valuable, and
for this reason it is doubtful if a loss oc-
ours in stock-raislng when the receipts
and expenses are nearly equal. The
farmer views only the amount he has re-
ceived from sales, and compares it with
the sum expended If there is no profit
the venture is considered loss. But it is
a truth that all materials brought on
farm remain until removed, and though
they may change in form vet they possess
value for some purpose. The farmer who
buys large amounts OF bran, middlings
and other refuse of the mills brings on his
farm that which remains as an investment
until it can be converted into some other
salable product.
Every ounce of food procured for the
use of stock is converted into beef, NUT
ton, pork, milk or manure. In the shape
of meat and milk the farmer disposes of it
at an increased price, but the expenses are
to be deducted. All that remains on the
farm unsold, after the cost of the whole
has been secured in the sales, is just as
much matter of profit as that which has
been marketed, and this surplus Is the
manure, which can be converted into food
the next year. The farm is, therefore, in
creased in fertility and at the same time
increased in value, the profits being ex-
pended on the farm as manure. IL the
value of the manure annually made In
this country could be estimated Oh some
basis the figures would be startling, and
they would show that the farmers create
more wealth than the estimates given in
the crops only.
1t is an old proverb, More stock more
manure; more manure more crops; more
crops more stock" There is, OF course,
limit to be reached somewhere in the in
crease, but the farmer who engages in
stock-rasing is sure TO reach point where
his stock cannot dispose of the produc-
tons of the soil by producing meat and
milk. and his expenses are then reduced
by reason of his abundance and iDdepend-
ence of the necessity OF buying elsewhere,
which increases the profits from sales and
gives the farm a greater value, due to its
capacity of production, and IN that respect
he may be storing up the profit OF each
year to reap it at a future time in the
shape of the surplus CROPS sold over and
above the amount required for stock. The
farmer whose farm S abundantly stocked
with all the animal he can accommodate,
and who sells his hay, is not always as un-
wise as is sometimes charged, as the hay
is simply a portion of the surplus which
has been added to the farm in the manure,
and which now becomes profit.

Farm and Garden Notes.


In making a fence do not forget that the zig
gag fence leaves many corners for harboring
weeds
Growing pigs may be fed buttermilk and
whey, but the principal food at this season
should be grass.
A row of raspberries 100 feet long will give
an abundant supply for an ordinary family.
Plant few red raspberries this fall.
The German prune and the plum are SO
nearly allied that they should not be grown in
the same orchard or they will hybridize in fruit.
The summer is the time TO put the barn in
condition for winter. Painting should be done
now, and the roof should be made tight and
close.
The breed is an important factor in stock
raising. The breed adapted for the object sort
will give better results and at a lower cost pro-
portionately.
When "scours" occurs with animals feed
nothing but cut hay tor few days. Scald the
hay and add little salt to it. Diet is better
than medicine.
1t is very difficult to keep toads out of wells,
and this matter is an important one If pure wa
ter is desired. Toads drown, sink to the bot
tom and there decompose.
All barns should be so constructed as to allow
the family cat to go anywhere under or in it,
as a precaution against rats and mince, which
destroy more than may be supposed.
The early turnips may now be cleared off and
another crop grown on the same ground for
family use. Use plenty of manure, pull up the
grass and weeds if the plot is small, and have
the soil made deep and fine.
Wire fencing for poultry yards are cheap and
good but the lower part of the fence should be
of boards, in order to avoid quarreling of the
males in adjoining yards. The boards also
serve as a wind-brake in winter.
Corn in the glazing stage makes the best fod-
der. II cut when the ear is hard the stalk is
then, TO a certain extent, woody, and if cut very

mists come and half hide and half reveal,
though over all rests clear and cloudless
sky. One hears close and far through
these fllmy curtains the sharp tone of the
Scot, the grunt of the Norwegian, the
hearty voice of the Englishman, the gut
tural exclamation of the Nasquapee, the
liquid tones of him from Acadia, and,
closing ones eyes to measure it all with
the finer sight of thought, the curlew's
calls from myriad bird-throats come in
Chateau bay as if in some magical moment
to transport the wanderer from these ever
desolate shores to the quaint old beaches
of Brittany to sunny Azore cove, or to
some dreamful tropic isle of song.

Among the Poultry.
THE Republic.I


Pure water is necessary to health.
This month is good time to hatch ban
tams.
Clipping one wing will generally pre-
vent flying.
The Plymouth Rock is one Of the best
general purpose fowls.
Gather eggs once day at least and sell
as often as twice a week.
Young turkeys should be fed regularly
now in order to keep them growing.
A clean, comfortable house has much to
do with securing eggs in the fall and win
ter.
Where the fowls are running out one
rooster to every dozen hens is all that is
necessary.
From now until the holidays ducks sell
at low price except for home use, either
for the table or for the feathers, it will
hardly pay to raise them.
Guineas are not often sent to market;
those that are raised are either to keep for
layers or to use on the table.
Watch the market 1t is as much an
item to sell we'll as to raise economically.
At this time it is often the case that the
turkey hens viii be coming up with young
turkeys that they have Matched out in the
weeds. These should have good care and
be kept out of the weeds while the dew
is on.
In building the poultry house the size
of the breed of fowls, as well as the num-
Der, should always be considered as this
will, in some cases, make quite differ
ence
Poultry food should always be seasoned,
but not too highly. Salt and pepper are
both beneficial in moderate quantities,
but should not be given to excess.
While the weather is so hot attention
must be given to the houses, the runs and
the coops kept clean; use plenty OF lime,
keep dry; use dry earth as deodorizer.
If you would know TO a certainty
whether or not the poultry are profitable,
keep an account of the cost; then when
they are sold the difference between the
cost and what they bring will be the
amount of profit or loss.
Now is good time to purchase what
ever breeding stock is needed. A better
selection can be made, better prices Sc
cured and with the stock on hand you can
manage as suits you best.
1t is not a good plan to use Pekin
drake with the common ducks. The off
spring do not do as well, nor will the eggs
hatch so well, as if the breeds are kept
pure. A cross of the Augsburg and Pekin
will do, however.
