FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.

The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, oyer-rich and indigestible food,
Late suppers, the fatigue of the ballroom,
the bad air of the illy-ventilated, over
crowded theatre, arc each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined,, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health Of the hardi.

THE FARM.
Advantage. Of Long stuhh,.

We always favor leaving the stubble
long in harvesting. The straw is worth
as much to be left on the field as pro-
lection for young clover as it is inFthe
barnyard. Most grain growers have
more straw than they know how to use
with profit. When snow comes. this
long stubble holds it evenly distributed
to depth that will not readily thaw
away with, one or two days Of warm
weather. This removes n Of the diff
cultles in clover growing in many
northern attitudes, where clover often
wlnter-kills nearly as badly as wheat.

Potatoes on Sandy Soil.

Thirty or forty years ago potatoes
grown on sandy soil were reckoned the
best, and it was thought that heavier
lands were unsuited to them. But po-
tntoes on sand soon run out, probably
from deficiency of potash, and the bulk
of the crop for market is now grown on
heavier land and we'll manured. The
Early Rose, and in fact most very early
potatoes need to have the land as rich
as it can be made. Thus grown we think
they are better in quality as we'll as in
yield. The old Mercer potato was a sort
that did best on sand, and if much ma
nure was used it always rotted badly.
The Peachblow potato wal the first one
to be cultivated on all kinds of soils,
and this, as much as its good quality,
made it popular both with growers and
consumers.

Farm Gates. -slidtng Doors.

It is sometimes said we appreciate
things in proportion as we lack them.
Perhaps that is the reason we feel rs
though We would very much appreciate
farm-gates. Having been accustomed
to them in every needed place in our old
longtime resident Iowa "Elmwood
Farm" we miss them SO much here,
where so few people seem to appreciate
them, if we judge by their lack.
In work on an old farm here, settled
long "befo' the wah," we did no. find a
single gate. 1t was climb the fence to
get to the house, or lay down the short
eight-foot rails, soon racking the fence
for several panels. We couldn't stand
that; SO o temporary sliding gate was
made-the work of perhaps fifteen min
utes-the cost q nickels worth of nails
and twenty cents worth of lumber. An
hour longer cut -four black jack" posts,
growing right at hand. and put them in
place, and attached fence to them, The
owner had Calculated" to do this be-
fore, but forty years had quickly slipped
by, and he hadn't found time.
Now, on many good farms with wide
awake owners, there is need for more
gates for best convenience. Where in
constant use, they need to be of best
patterns, best materials, and best work.
n%,anship, and if you cannot do this your
self, better employ it done. But for
many places not much used. the cheap
sliding gate, easily constructed can lie
put up in by any farmer, and will pay if
not used q half dozen times in the year.

dition in preparation for the change to spring
seazon. If you have not -wintersd wen,- II you
are tired out from overwork. if your blood has
become impure from close confinement in badly

your blood. create q good appetite. and give your
whole system tone aud strength.
For Q f~rst-class spring medicine my wife and
I think very highly of Hoods Sarsaparina. We
both took it last spring. It did US a great deal Of
good and we felt better through the hot weather
than ever before. 1t cured my wife of sick head
ache, from which she has suffered q great deal,
and relieved me of a dizzy, tired feeling. I think
every one ought to take something to purify the
blood before tho hot weather comes on, and we
shall certainly tlke Hoods sarsapariila this
spring." J. II. PEARcE, supt. Granite Railway Co.,
