Farm and Gardcn Notes.

Fruit trees or plants will not take care
of themselves.
Annual pruning will largely avoid the
taking off Of large limbs from the trees.
Cur best honey yielding flowers are
decidedly modest in color and appear
ance.
The verdict of honeymen is that kegs
for honey should not be burned out by
the cooper.
When you have to buy seeds, as every
one must, buy of men of established
reputation.
Have everything ready early, and get
all in readiness when it can be done with
the least outlay of valuable time.
Water is necessary for bees when rear
ing brood, for diluting the honey, or
when liquefying it after being granu-
lated.
In Missouri, elevated, nearly cleared
land is best adapted to peach growing.
Twenty feet is about the right distance
for planting.
The greatest injury any farmer has
| ever done to his soil is where he has
starved the crop and soil by not using
enough fertilizer.
The best remedy for black knot is
good soil and good tillage with care
taken to cut off and burn each knot as
soon as possible after its appearance.
larming comp res very favorably with
other branches of business. One can do
any amount of hard work in it. The
more one does intelligently the better he
will succeed.
in trying a novelty the prudent farmer
will not plant largely till he has proved
the merits of the new article and its
adaptibility to his soil and climate, by
trial in small way.
If you did not mulch the Strawberries
last fall, now Is a good time to do it, be-
fore the thawing and freezing of spring
comes; that is what heaves the plants.
Corn stalks will do nicely.
To make success of farming, younx
man must start out in small way. His
chances are then as good as the boys
fifty years ago had, but he must not ex-
pect to make fortune in short time.
Most of our best seedsmen test their
seeds before selling them, and know
what they are selling; but they cannot
be expected to warrant good seed in the
hands of careless or inexperienced gar
deners.

good queens are ruined at mating time
than we are aware of.
Professor Maynard is quoted as saying
,, that birds do more good than harm to
the farmer and orchardist, and tina.
more trees should be planted that they
NAV have due share of the fruit and
, leave some for the grower.
There are enough horses killed every
year on bad roads, and enough damage

of drivers to make our roads very much
better than they are if the cost of thest
+ damages was put upon them.

Bone Spayin in Horses.

Bone spawn in horses is disease Of the
small bones in the lower aud inner part
of the hook joint. The lameness which
isusually present is shown in the stiffness
of the Joint, and the animal is inclined to
tread, as it were, on the toe, and usually
rests on the toe. Bag SPAWN is mainly
nm intlaml alton of the hook joint, and
may be caused by sprains, rheumatism,
or bruise. A p fly swelling of the joint
usually accompanies bag SPAWN, with
much heat and tenderness of the part
affected. The treatment and remedies
of both are very similar. The animal
should rest and high.heeled shoe be
hailed on as soon as the SPAWN is DIS
covered. The joint should then be bathed
freely with cold water in warm weather,
but in winter warm is preferable, and as
soon as the Inflammation subsidies counter
irritants may be applied, then after a few
days apply blister. In young animals a
cure is usually effected, but in old ones,
especially those of rheumatic constitu-
ton, both forms of SPAWN are very OBJ
btinate and sometimes incurable -Mao

hope so long as l keep bees they will
breed early, as | would rather furnish d
colony with food for brood rearing a
month before bees are really wanted to
gather honey than have them q month
behind when the honey harvest comes.
The farmer who does not employ hands
for harvest until month after the grain
is ripe would losethe crop, and 1t is Just
the same in beekeeping, Also, II brood
rearing is commenced early in the season

Washing E'launeIs.


In washing flannels make a suds of
low the tlannels to soak in this water
from one-half to one whole hour, then
wash them with as little friction as pos
sible, using no rubbing board or soap,
save what is dissolved in the water;
squeeze the articles with the hands un-
til the dirt is forced out as much as
possible then change to another clear
suds prepared in the same way and finish
the washing process. Finally rinse in
warm water, in which you may PIT
very little bluing if you like. Do not
wiring as you do other clothes, but
simply squeeze out the water enough to
admit of carrying to the line, and be
sure when removing the flannels from
one water to another that each sue
cessive water is hotter than the last
never any colder.
If you wish to restore the color OF
fannels which are apparently ruined by
bad treatment, it can be done by max
ing solution of one and one-half
pounds of white soap and two thirds of
an ounce of spirits OF ammonia dissolved
in twelve gallons of soft water. By
dipping the tiannels in this, and wetting
them thoroughly in the solution,
beautiful and lasting whiteness will be
impaired to them, no matter how yellow
they were previous to their immersion.
After being well stirred round for g
short time, take the articles out and
wash well in clean, soft water.
To cleanse blankets, put two large
tablespoonfuls of borax and one-half
bar of white soap (cut up the soap into
thin shavings with knife, before put
ting into the water into tub of luke
warm water; when the soap and borax
are well dissolved, put in the blankets
and let them remain in soak over night
the next morning wash well and rinse in
two waters, and hang out to dry with
out wringing them at all. --Detroit Free

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Test for Tea.

A Russian analyst gives the following
as test by which tea can be proved to
be genuine or not: Take a pinch of tea
in glass, pour upon it little cold
water aud well shake it up. Pure tea
will only slightly color the water, while
strong infusion is quickly got from the
adulterated or painted leaf. Now boil
both sorts separately, and let them stand
till cool, and the difference between
them will be most marked. The false
tea will become still stronger after long
standing, but will remain transparent.
Whereas the pure tea will become muddy
or milky. This last appearance arises
from the tannic acid which is a natural
property in pure tea, but which in arti-
fetal tea is entirely absent.

Early Brood Rearing.

Several years ago my bees were win
tered in a cellar that was also used
for fruit and vegetables. The Gel
lar drain got stopped and the bottom
was covered with water the most of the
time during their confinement. Some
were in box hives, and these / moved
every week or two to clean away the
dead bees During the latter part of
February discovered they were hatch
ing young bees, which was kept up UNI
til they were placed on the summer
stands. Early in May the hives were
crowded with bees and they commenced
to store surplus early and did the best
that year that ever had them. Now it
is question to me what caused them to
rear brood so ca ly in the season. Some
of those queens must have commenced
laying soon after the middle Of anuary.
1t might have been caused by the damp
ness OF the cellar and warm tempera-
ture, but have an opinion that the very
marked pleasant odor of the fruit had
more effect than anything else. 1t has
been strongly asserted by some that
brood rearing in confinement would
cause diarrhua. If such is the case
why did it not do SO in this
instance9 Sour honey will cause
diarrhGa without any aid from pol
len, but il the bees have access to pollen
they will eat it also as a remedy, which
will be observed in thief ces which give:
the erroneous opinion with some that pol
len causes diarrhUa. Sour pollen, with
out doubt, will produce this effect but
is not SO apt to as sour honey. Con
fine colony of bees in hive without
combs and nothing else to eat but soul
sugar syrup, and you will have case o.
diarrh a. Many have been led to believe
warm temperature would lead to brood
rearing and this, through eating pollen,
would cause diarrh ra, consequently have
kept the temperature too low which
after several weeks, if the store.

crackers, and see if your family OF
guests do not call for second plate.
Mock Bisque Soup-Put a quart OF
either freshly peeled or canned tomatoes
on the fire to stew; heat three pints of
milk in double boiler, reserving a cup
full to mix large tablespoonful of flour
with. As soon as the milk boils, stir in
this -four, which must be smoothly mixed

spoonful OF baking soda to the tomatoes;
rub through a strainer and add to the
milk. Serve at once, and if there is to
be any delay in so doing, do not add the
tomatoes to the milk until you are ready
to send to the table. This is delicious
and cheap soup, as skinned milk may
be used, although it is not quite so good.
Put little dices of fried bread in the
tureen, or sprinkle chopped parsley in
the soup just before removing it from
the fire.
Boston Baked Beans-Pick out and
wash one quart of small white beans. put
them into a deep earthen dish, cover
with cold water and place on the cool
part of the stove until they are quite
swelled; then move the dish to the hotter
part of the stove and allow the beans to
simmer very slowl7 until they are soft,
taking care that Trey remain whole, and
always keep them covered with water.
When perfectly tender put them carefully
into colander to drain off all the water;
then put them into the baking dish and
place one pound of sealded and scored
salt pork into the water. Mix one cup
of boiling water with one cup of mo-
lasses, one teaspoonful of salt and half
teaspoonful of soda; pour this over the
beans and bake in moderate oven for
two hours, adding little boiling water
from time to time to prevent the beans
from becoming dry. Finish by slightly
browning the top. The beans are geHer-
INV baked toward night and left in the
oven to cool, which process improves

Stretches in Sheep.

Stretches, some times. called collie, as
described by veterinarians is due to con-
stipation, and occurs most frequently to-
ward the latter part of winter. A sheep
suffering from an attack of this nature
stretches itself every few minutes at full
length while standing, lies down fire.
quently, and rises again in a few min
utes and gives evidence of being in con-
slant pain. Unless something is done
to relieve the sufferer, sheep when
once attacked will seldom recover.
There is in all cases of this kind ten.
dency to intussusceptIon of some of the
small intestines, that is, one part of the
intestines is drawn into another in the
same manner that the finger of glove
sometimes is when drawn from the hand.
When this occurs the outer intestines
contracts or shuts Gown upon the part
within, producing inflammation. This
causes intense pain and stoppage. The
simplest and surest remedy we have ever
seen applied is for strong man to seize
the sheep by the hind legs above the
hook, raise it as high as possible by ele-
waiting the hands, holding the animal in
such position as to bring its back next
to the operator. Keep the sufferer in
this position, head downward, few
minutes, and chuIn it up and down
slightly, using care to keep its head from
touching the ground. When the animal
isgivel its liberty it will in most cases
run off and DIN its companion as though
nothing had ever ailed it. The philoso-
ply of this treatment is that the intus-
suscepted intestine is brought back to
its natural position. Nature evidently
tries to accomplish this result by Undue,
ing the animal to stretch at full length.
The remedy advocated by Randall in his
Sleep Husbandry is to give an ounce Of
EPSON salts dissolved in warm water,
adding one dram of ginger and table
spoonful of essence of peppermint to 9
full-grown sheep, and half that quantity
to lamb.

TASCOTT ONCE MORE.
Officers Said to Be at Last on the
Heels of the Right Man.
SHARP RUSE OF HIS FRIENDS
How They Sent the Detectives or on +.
wild Goose Chase and Gave the
Murderer a Chance to Get
Out of tho City.

CHICAGO. March 9.--It is asserted that
the best clue that has been had in con-
nection with Tascott, the man who is
supposed to nave murdered Millionaire
Smell, is being run down by the police,
and that two city detectives and Pinkar-
ton men, together with Mr.. Stone,
nephew. of the murdered man, left the
city more than a week ago. That Mr..
Stone is at last on the heels of the right
man seem almost incredible, but he
must have had pretty positive assurance
and proof that it wa Tascott he was
looking for, as he certainly would not
have taken the trouble to have per-
sonally made an investigation on merely
the statement of soine rural detective.
1t has been the general belief In police
circles that Tascott was alone at the
time Mr.. Smell was murdered, and that
he left the city before it was found, that
is claimed that he not only
had a partner in the crime but was
secreted in this city for weeks after the
killing, The s~upposition has been that
Tascott lett tho city Immediately after
the killing. The people Of River Forest,
however, do not think SO. One Of them
is positive that he saw Tascott at the
house of a relative there nearly three
weeks after the murder, and gave the
police the tip. The hoase was searched,
but no Willie was found. The cause of
this. If the statement of those who have
investigated the premises can be relied
upon, is that on their approach Tascott
would go into the cellar and crawl out
over the sill to a safe berth under the
porch. No nj would think of looking
for him in such q place, and he made it
a hiding spot until one dark, stormy
night, when he went down to the paint
shop on Canal street, near Kinzie, which
the detectives had by that time
grown tired of looking into. There he
made himself at home In an unused
lumber room, as q bed and other evil
dences of human habitation since found
there show. 1t vas about this time that
the detective force was thrown into con.
v%ulsions by tho finding of Tascoit's va.
lise and jewelry in q ST. Paul pawnshop;
and with visions of the big reward the
officers all rushed there to capture
him. This, it is held, was merely .
sharp rusel on the part of Tascotts
friends to throw the detectives off the
scent and give the murderer a chance to
get away. After these developments
were made. suspicion was attracted to-
ward a certain carpenter then living
near this city,a as Tascott's partner. Sud-
denly he sold his house, and moving his
family into town, dropped out of sight.
