FARM NOTES.

Very few farmers can be made to re-
alize the benefit of good garden until
they purchase once all they use.
Care should always be taken in ap-
plying kerosene among the fruit or
shade trees, for if used too strong it
will seriously injure both the bark and
the foliage, If it comes in contact with
them.
Three or four varieties of grapes will
give much more satisfactory results
than larger number; one early, one
more satisfactory results than larger
number.
Every farm should have an expert
mental plot or garden. There is no surer
or more certain mode of learning the re-
ouirements of the land and the kind of
crops to grow than to experiment, in a
small way, with seeds and fertilizers.
Experiments show that any portion of
the seed from an ear of corn may be
used for planting, and that there is no
advantage possessed by the butt seed
over the tip seed, nor is the middle seed
better than that from the butts or tips.
In sowing the seed in the hot bed,
take pains not to SOW too thick. If tine
plants are crowded they will grow tall
and spindling and be weak; let them
have sufficient room to make thrifty,
stocky growth, and the plants will be
healthier.
When the ground is plowed in the fall
or early winter the frost goes down and
reaches the insects that have sought
refuge therein. The clods and Jumps are
broken by the action of the frost. and
the soil put in condition for being easily
plowed in the spring.
If from any cause the trees get gnawed
by rabbits, and the injury is small, a
good remedy is to draw up a mound of
earth sufficiently to entirely cover the
wound, SO as to keep it moist. If, how
ever, the wound is severe, the better
plan will be to take up the tree and set
out new one.
The following is given as an excel
lent mixture of seed per acre for a
meadow: Twelve pounds of timothy,
five pounds of Italian rye grass. five
pounds of meadow fescue or tall fescue,
four pounds of red-top, three pounds Of
| rough-stalked meadow grass. six pounds
of medium clover. II the meadow is
moist. bromus or alsike may be intro
duced, the red-top increased and the
fescue and the clover lessened.
In some cases it may be profitable to
pile up the manure to rot before hauling
it out, yet on the average farm, taking
the work and the benefits all into consid-
Grafton, the best plan is to haul out the
| manure whenever there is enough for a
load and there is time to do the work.
With the soil plowed more of the solu-
Bile portions will be taken up and held,
and the loss either by evaporation or
teaching will be less than IL the manure
is applied on unplowed land.

FORGET-ME-NOTS.

Little Billy Dickson is one of the most mis-
chevous boys in this village. Nobody takes
greater delight in playing practical joke,
either on the countrymen who come to the vii
lage or the countrymen who live here. He has
his OWE opinion of the greatness of public men,
and one of the things that he enjoys most is
playing off laymen for Congressman and people
of no onsequence at all for men of great dis
tinction. Now, there's Ed johnson. He is
very dignfed, consequential-looking gentle
man, especially on these summer days when he
wears his tall white hat. Billy and Ed were
walking along the Avenue the other night,
when, passing Twelfth street, the dignfed
figure of johnson caught the eye of the watch
man at the Palais Royal, who was certain that
a person of so much dignity must be member
of Congress, especially as he was with Dickson.
The watchman is a little fat sawed off son of
Israel, who sits under the electric light at the
Palais Royal of a night, smokes q long pipe,
and lazily watches the passersby. Recently
he has taken it into his head that he ought to
have pension. He is growing 100 fat to work,
and that is very good ground for a pension
nowadays, whether he ever went to the wars or
not is matter Of little consequence. Every
body in this village is acquainted with Billy
Dickson or imagines he is. The watchman
thought it was good chance to get the ear OF
Congressman, SO he addressed himself to
Billy and told him what he wanted.
"Why, you're in luck" said Billy. "This il
the chairman of the committee, and il yoI
know how to work him your pension is sure.'
Congressman johnson WAS introduced, ant
questioned the watchman like census enum
srator.
"Been wounded in the war % johnson asked
The watchman answered something abou
rheumatism.
"Dont care If it was mumps," said johnson
"You ought TO have pension. Any family
sons, or daughters? Have they rhe umatsm
too Blowed if | don't pension the Who'll
outfit"
johnson was in a hurry He was gettin
into cab to go home, when Billy advised tn
Watchman to get in. too, and explain his cas-
in detail to the chairman of the committee
The watchman followed this advice and, cios
ing the carriage door, Dickson called to tn
driver to "driye like the devil" In shor
time the cab was rolling up the Avenue at
great rate. johnson was calling to the man ol
the box TO drive to Cabin John Bridge, and tn
fat watchman was making frantic efforts to ge
out. He shouted he had been kidnapped, ant
was not reassuring to him to be told by John
son that Dickson's little game was to get hin
away from the Palais Royal in order that h
might crack the safe and rob the store Th
cab was a good distance from the Palais Roya
before the little sawed of watchman managed
10 get out. And what hustling time he haC
in getting back to his post But the safe wa
an right. The store had not even been entered
and his pension claim had advanced one stage

Negligent Street-Car Conductors.
To the Editor Of The Sunday Herald:
There should be more definite rules estab-
lished by the street-car management to conduce
to the convenience of the public, AS it is, with
no fixed stopping places on the line, except on
the cable line, conductors apparently stop for
passengers when it suits their whms to do so;
otherwise they go ahead regardless of the fran
tic signals of would-be passengers not six feet
away. Eighth street and Pennsylvania avenue
is a corner that Avenue conductors could hardly
be made to see with telescope. 1t is SO near
Seventh street, where they always stop for
transfers, that they usually impose the duty of
all wishing to board the cars at L Eighth street to
run after them and get on block away. Every
car conductor should have distinct orders to
stop only at street corners, and he should keep
a sharp lookout where streets cross Too often
cars cross streets at full speed, leaving the dis
gusted populace on the sidewalk in temper by
no means cool, 1t is not only the Avenue con
ductor who needs a check in this direction.
The Metropolitan and the Anacostia lines also
need looking after. Numerous complaints have
been made recently on this subject, and it is
quite time that the matter was regulated by in
telligent rules. Left

or any other kind of business establishment or
private property. The Secretary of State or
any other public official, in my estimation, is
not bound to wag his tongue at the request of
a newspaper editor or reporter any more than
at the request of any other American citizen.
He has a right to use his own discretion and
withhold, if he pleases, the eourtesies which
are usually extended to the press, but which are
not prescribed by either the Constitution or the
laws; but he has no right to withhold from the
Congress of the United States and the American
people the state papers which the law says he
shall submit to Congress annually, just as the
heads of the other Departments send in their
annual reports. DAvI LEwsLEY.

The committee on racing of the Min

the 2:24 trot Friday, July 4, and a
similar amount for the $50 class
on the opening day. In addi-
ton there will be a free-for-all

over the decision of the club, and there
is 40 doubt that an excellent class OF
horses will compete for the various
