FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Are your line fences all right2
Eat more fruit and less fat meat.
Raise all your good heifer calves.
Weed the garden early ana often.
Combat and conquer the curculio.
Too much water used in transplanting
is worse than none.
In transplanting plants OF every kind
keep the roots moist.
There is nothing made in turning out
stock to pasture too early.
Who knows beans2 There are said to
be over 400 varieties of them.
Give animals change of food; even a
change of pasture is beneficial.
When smut once gets started in a corn
plant there is no remedy for it.
Trees for cemeteries: Weeping birch,
cypress, white pine, arbor Vita.
Make good use of your rake in the
garden to keep down the young weeds.
Poor fences are one cause of ''breach"
cattle. Have good line fences, anyway.
A little farm well titled returns the
most profit for the labor bestowed upon
it.
All eggs left too long in the nests dur
ing very cold weather will crack from the
effects of frost.
Kill every white grub you discover
when planting corn. They are sure to
make trouble later on.
A good garden is the most profitable
patch of the size on the farm. 1t is a
lesson on the advantage of high culture.
Nothing produces better colored milk
than good clover hay and corn meal
They make a fairly balanced milk ration.
Sour swill is one of the sources of
disease in the hog. Much of it is kept
until it becomes too acid forever a hog.
The workingmen at the trades want
only eight hours in their dav of labor, but
the farmer knows no time limit but dark
ness.
Be careful that the collars of the har-
ness be kept clean and we'll adjusted.
Called shoulders are cruel 70 pull
against.
1t is said that a Frenchman has dis
covered that by watering dahlias with
tcpid water a delicious aroma is impaired
to them.
The orchard is the place for the pigs if
they can be kept there. They pick up
the early, wormy apples and keep the soil
stirred.
Work horses need good fare, and
should not be expected to do heavy work
on grass alone. And let them have plcaty
Of water.
Unthreshed oats make a good feed for
horses, and some like them better than
the grain alone, or the grain aud straw
feed separately.
Cattle already infested with lice should
be thoroughly carded and washed with
warm soap water in which little kero-
scnee has been added.
A horse with a well-ftting harness,
especially wcll-itting collar, feels just
like a man whose clothes do not pinch
him; and will, Of course, do It's work
easier and better.
The ox-team is not to be despised for
farm work; they are slow, we know, but
they are sure; and in blowing or in work
ing where speed IS not essential they are
better than horses.
Odors in the stable indicate that the
air therein IS impure. The use Of absorb
ents, with due regard to keeping the
stalls clean, IS very important. Once a
week the stables should be sprinkled with
a solution made of one pound Of coPperaa
in two gallons Of soft water.

Are Women Careless of Money?

No woman, at least in America, has
any such talent rs a man has for spend
ing money. She spends for what she
believes to be beauty-for raiment,
books, jewels, decoration, furniture, pic
lures. ,aar6les-rarely for what does her
serious harm. He spends most for his
vices, for the things that hurt him great
ly. He is apt to speculate, to bring evil
to Others from his love of pleasure or Of
gain.
He viii get rid of more money in a
month than she would in years. She
would, however ignorant of it, be APP
palled 10y the sums he dissipates. She is
constitutionally conservative; big state
ments of any sort are likely to alarm
her. Unless desperate or frenzied, she
invariably stops short of extremes. She
trembles and turns pale where he, in the
flush of egotism, moves undisturbed.
Nearly all the talk of woman's care
lessness of money is really idle. The
opinion cannot be sustained. 1t is main
ly the echo of misapprehension. Where
she is even partially enlightened on the
subject, she is prone to be very cautious
in its use. Her temperamental tendency
is to theoT9asite of carelessness.- .-Junius

that trespassers We're not allowed, and
that he must clear off at once.
My friend turned to comply, but be-
