FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A weak spot in a stable floor is a risk
no farmer can afford to continue Il single
hour after discovery.
Dairy cattle should have access to salt
every day, and salt should be added daily
to all their stable feed.
In very hot weather it may pay you to
shade the forming caulifower heads with
leaves broken from the lower part of the
plant.
A balky horse on farm is a nuisance
to be abated, even at the cost, if need
be, of burying his carcass in the COM
post heap.
If the rose-bugs trouble your grape
vines, spray them with Paris green and
water in the proportion of one ounce to
six gallons.
Let no soap suds from the weekly wash
be wasted There is nothing better for
cucumber and melon vines. Soak the
soil around the hills.
tits we'll enough to have a whip in driv-
ing horses, but the occasions for using it
should be carefully considered before tor
turing the poor animals.
A Georgia farmer tells that he has sue
ceeded in subduing nut grass by putting
the land in Bermuda and burr clover,
adding also Texas blue grass.
The value of old orchards when
properly treated, is hardly appreciated
by one who has not had some practical
work in getting them to yield the great
est profit possible.
An orchard, whether young or old,
should not be allowed to grow where
heavy crops of grass are taken every
year. 1t is weakening to the soil and
detrimental to the trees.
Feed the calves-feed them fulfil
hope of selling them in autumn at a profit
is to be justified, and if they are to be
kept over winter the reasons for fuI
feeding apply quite as well.
J. L. Budd says, in Farmers Re0teoo,
that he believed the pear-shaped Russian
currant will prove specially valuable IL
parts of the West where the foliage o.
the common currants drop premature

MANURING FOR WHEAT.

A good rich soil is essential to securing
a good growth and yield Of wheat. II
not naturally rich, farm manure or fer
tilizers should be applied in such a man
ner as to supply the elements required by
this plant. The old way of manuring
was to either haul out and scatter on the
stubble, or apply after the first blowing
had been given and then turn under. In
either case the manure was plOwed under
rather than worked into the soil near the
surface; and, to do this, apply the manure
after blowing, taking pains to scatter as
evenly as possible. The work of cult
waiting and preparing the soil into good
condition will incorporate the manure
sufficiently with the soil. If a special
fertilizer is used it should be scattered
broadcast, either just before or at the time
the seed is sown. Drills with fertilizer
attachments can now be secured, so that
the work can be done much better than
by hand.
To grow yield of twenty bushels of
wheat it will require on an average thirty
one pounds of nitrogen, fourteen pounds
of phosphoric acid, and eighteen pounds
of potash These are three essential
elements required. If we know what per
cent. of these elements is already in the
soil, and also what is deficient, the
proper proportion can be readily supplied.
Glover, and with it good dressing of
lime, plowed under, makes a good fertili-
ger for wheat. One reason that good re-
suits can generally be secured by using
farm yard manure is that all the elements
of plant food are applied.
The principal advantages in purchasing
and using commercial fertilizer is, they
increase the growth and yield of the crop,
and by their means, with good manage
ment, the farmer may be able to increase
his supply of farm manure. And, in
many cases it can certainly be used to
an advantage, if the mistake is avoided
of depending entirely upon it as is some
times done when good results are secured
at first. With quite number of crops
more or less fertilizers can be used, but
it is a mistake to depend upon them.
Farm manure must be the principal rei-
ance and other materials be considered
only as aids.-Prdirle Farmer.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
DO NOT CROWD YOUR PLANTS.

There is nothing gained by growing
three plants where there is only room for
two. The two plants that the place
would comfortably accommodate will be
much finer than the three that you could
manage to "'just squeeze in" And re-
member that one plant, well-grown, is
worth score of poorly grown ones.
One good plant is something to be proud
of, while number of poor specimens
ought to make the grower ashamed, not
of the plants, but of himself Treat
plants precisely as you would people, and
give them all the chance they want to
develop. Let them show what they can
do, and they cannot do this when they
are cramPed.-Amaerican Agricu!turist

served especially for the purpose. It may
be too late now to remedy a failure for
the present season, but the warning should
be needed in time for another year. Still,
something may get be done. A planting
of early kinds of sweet corn, sown in
rows eighteen inches apart and three
inches apart in the rows, will very soon
afford very acceptable feed. Millet may
be sown for pasture; oats scwn in August
or September will make the best of pas
ture for the early autumn, and rye will
serve to follow after the early frosts. If
no other way can be found, some of the
best hay, with liberal ration Of corn
meal, should be given as soon as the out
door forage has become scarce. Later,
the small potatoes may serve as succulent
food along with the hay. Malt sprouts
stepped in water and mixed with cut hay
have increased the milk-yield more than
pasture has done This food is very
pleasant and palatable to the COWS, and
exceedingly nutritious and productive of
rich milk. 1t can be purchased cheaply
in summer and fall when it is not much in
demand. Bran and shorts have great
value, both as food products and for en-
riching the manure, and cotton-seed meal
fed with care and judgment is valuable.
Apples are worth more to feed 70 cows
than for cider.--AmericaT Agriculturist.

A Mennonite's Profitable Conscience.

John GundersOn. farmer residing in
Worcester township, Montgomery Coun-
", Penn. and devOut Mennonite, soon
after the rabbit killing season closed last
winter. shot one of the long-eared ami
mails. When he realized his error he
gave the rabbit TO his son, who in turn
sold it to a neighbor. But Gunderson's
mind troubled him. He knew that he
violated State law and he had no rest.
AS time went on, the feeling grew upon
him so much that he couldn't sleep, and
he asked some Of his neighbors to inform
upon him, so that he could pay the pen
atty and in that manner ease his mind.
But his neighbors refused to do this, and
as a last resort Farmer Gunderson in
formed upon himself. The other day he
went to Norristown, and, telling the
Presiding Judge his crime, the latter
went with him to a magistrate, where
Gunderson swore that he had violated the
law. The magistrate accordingly fined
him s.. The law, however, SAYS that
half of the fine shall go to the informer
Gu1derson left the office, but soon re-
turned and claimed the 50 so due him.
1t was paid to him and he again de-
parted. In short time he returned, and
in order that none guilty should escape,
he lodged information against his son and
neighbor. The fine was imposed and
Gunderson paid the $40; but he claimed
and was allowed the S. due the inform
ant. The farmers mind had been eased
and he went to his home with a clear
conscience. If he can collect the SO
fine he will be So 80 ahead of the game,
and all because he was an honest man

TEMPERATURE FOR cHURS1NG.

The temperature at which cream should
be churned varies according to the tenn
perature Of the air, but the proper num-
Der Of degrees is about sixty. In olden
times, and even in modern days, with
some people, it was the rule for churning
to go on until butter was found in great
Jumps. That was a great faIlacy. A
point is reached in churning beyond
which any further churning brings no i'm
provement, and that point is when the
butter has reached the size of small
grains. The churning should take from
twenty-five to thirty-fve minutes; if it
was much less the butter would not be in
good condition, if the churning took
longer it would be spoiled AS to
whether butter should he washed or not
the practise varied in different parts of
England, and is a matter entirely of
taste. Those who are accustomed to I'M
washed butter certainly will not like the
flavor of washed butter.-Neao York

BALKY HORSES.

The Society for the Prevention Of Cru
city to Animals put forth a set of rules
for the treatment of balky horses, which
rules, unfortunately, do not always work.
The best way is to have nothing to do
with balky horses. But, nevertheless,
some one Of these rules, as we'll as a hun
dred others, do work in particular cases.
They are as follows:
1. Pat the horse upon the neck; exam
inc the harness carefully, first on one side
and then on the other, speaking encOur-
agingly while doing so; then jump into
the wagon and give the word go; gen
orally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse by taking
him out of the shafts and making him go
around in a circle until he is giddy. If
the first dance of this sort doesn't cure
him, the second will.
3. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
off his wind until he wants to go, and
then let him go.
f. The brain of the horse seems to en-
terrain but one idea at time, therefore
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve. If you can by any
means give him a new subject to think
of you will generally have no trouble in
starting him. A simple remedy is to
take a couple of turns of stout Irvine
around the fore leg, just below the knee,
tight enough for the horse to feel, and
tie in bow knot. At the first check he
will generally go dancing off, and after
a short distance you can get out and re-
move the string, to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive.
s. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs and tie it by a cord to the
saddle girth.
e. Tie a string around the horses ear,
close to the horses head.

SNAKES AND TOADS.

Why is it that many farmers and gar
deners are bound to kill every toad and
snake they happen to come across?
Merely because these animals are repul-
sive IN appearance? That should hardly
be 2 valid reason. Handsome is who
handsome does; and seen from this
standpoint, the ugliest, full-bellied toad,
and the creeping, sliding, wriggling
snake are models of beauty. Both live
largely or entirely on insects. Some
time ago when my hot-bed was overrun
with potato beetles, fiea-beetles, ETC., one
of the great, Unlocking toads took up
its quarters right there. In a short time
the bed was free from insects of any
description, and the toad was waxing
fat. A few toads in garden will do q
great deal toward Kidding it of cut-wOrms
and bugs of all kinds, and snakes also
give valuable aid in the same direction.
French gardeners realize this much more
than those of other nationalities do, and
in Paris toads are kept on sale in the
open market and in gardeners supply
stores It is time for American garden
ers to learn the value of the two crea-
lures, and give them aid and shelter in
pay for their services, rather than perse-
cute them in the usual cruel, relentless
and senseless fashion.-FaIno and Fire

A Fly the Death of Man and Horse.

Moses Elvich, a junk dealer, had a
team of horses, and he thought a great
deal of them. He had been engaged to
haul a load Of furniture for man who
was moving from Brookville to Punxsu-
tawney, Penn. 1t was billy road and
the horses needed careful watching.
While going down a steep hill Moses saw
a large fly on the neck of one of the
horses. 1t annoyed the man as much as
it did the horse, and the little insect
caused the death of the animal and also
of Moses. Elvich, in leaning forward to
brush away the fly, fell to the ground and
broke his neck. The horses took fright,
and, running into the fence, the one on
which the fly was sitting broke its leg
and had to be killed. Flvjch was picked
up by his father-in-law, who was follow
ing with another load Of household goods

FALL FEEDING FOR COWS.

Time is to be taken by the forelock, and
to prepare early for the fall feeding of
cows is carrying out this wise principle.
When the season is about to end, feed is
usually scarce and poor, because prepare
tons are not made for it in good time,
and the product of milk falls off at the
very time when it should be kept up for
the winter profit. Once a COW loses milk
it is very difficult, and in many cases, i'm
possible to restore it. Hence, fresh, sue
'eulent food must be provided for. The
best recourse is a field of aftermath, grass
OF clover, Or a pasture which has been re-

Facts About the Worlds Popula

The number of men capable of bear
ing arms is calculated at one-fourth of
the population.
There are 1904 languages in the
world, and its inhabitants profess more
than one thousand religions.
Those born in spring are generally
of a more robust constitution than
others. Births are more frequent by
night than by day, also deaths.
There are on the earth 100000, 1000
inhabitants, of these 33,033,033 die
every year, 1884 every day, $3.50
every hour. and 60 every minute, or
one every second.
The number of marriages is in the
proportion of rs to every 1000 indi-
viduals. Marriages are more frequent
after equinoxes-that is, during the
months of June and December.
The married are no longer-lived than
than the single, and, above all, those
who observe a sober and Industrious
conduct. Tall men live longer than
short ones. Women have more chances
of life in their favor previous to so
years of age than men have, but fewer
afterward.
The number of men is about equal
to the number of women. The average
of life is about SO years. One-quarter

of life. To every 100 only 6 reaches

MICHTIER THAN NIAGARA.
Marvellous Stories of a Wonderful Cats-
ract in the Wilds of Labrador.

Marvellous stories are related by the
few Montagnais and Nascapee Indians
who have penetrated far into the in
terror of Labrador respecting a cata-
ract, beneath whose terrific leap Nj
agara pales into insignifcance. But
one white man has ever seen these
falls, and the Indians ideas of measure
ments and distances are so imperfect
that, even where their stories agree, it
is exceedingly difficult to deduct from
them anything like reliable data. An
expedition lately undertaken by Randle
F. Holme, F. r. 6. S., and II. Duffy,
fellow of All Souls College. Oxford, to
explore the interior of Labrador and
investigate these falls unfortunately
failed in its object, the explorers having
been misled by erroneous calculations
as to distances and the exact location
of the cataract, and compelled to re-
turn in consequence of running short OF
provisions. They got so near to the
object of their expedition, however,
that they are enabled, from the general
CONFORMATION of the country, to form
what must be tolerably correct esti-
mate as to both the location and the
magnitude of the cataract.
This estimate agrees with the de-
scription of the grand falls furnished
by Maclean, who visited them in 1889,
and whose further progress into the
interior was stopped by them. He
gave the width of the interior immedi-
ately above the falls at 1000 feet. but
SAYS that the cataract itself is not
more than 80 feet across. The height
of the falls he estimates at 1000 feet.
This estimate is endorsed by half
breed named Kennedy. met by Messrs.
Home and Duffy in the interior, and
who, thirty years ago, was in charge
