FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Build an lce-house early.
When dry plow heavy soils.
Keep potatoes out of the sun.
Waste neither corn nor stalks.
Still guard against forest fires.
Take extra pains to keep apples.
Have you good sheds for stock2
Pet lambs make good ringleaders of
hocks.
Destroy all worms nests in your fruit
trees, "on sight"
The results of good feed are often
credited to the breed.
The market for the finest products is
seldom if ever glutted.
Burn no refuse that will add to the
value of the manure pile.
Do not allow grape vines to cumbcr
trees. It is bad for both.
When cattle feed in lot of second
hand clover it gives them a craving ap-
petite for salt.
See that the food of your animals is in
digestiblc condition. Only what is di-
gested counts.
Poor salt may spoil good butter, but it
never makes good butter; it only helps
to keep it good.
A barn and stable should fulfil four
conditions-comfort, cleanliness, health
2S2,, -r5.,;;i7enielcc:. ---->
Bells for sheep should be large enough
to make noise that can be heard at cen
siderable distance.
The tame grasses are the farmers
friend, ii not his salvation. The same is
true of old meadows.
Proper ventilation and drainage and
plenty of pure water would save much
sickness among stock.
Do not let your fruit trees grow large
limbs fer no other purpose than to be
cut of. Trim them right from the
start.
The general failure of the apple crop
of the country will cause many to neglect
their orchards instead OF bestowing upon
them better care.
DR.. Caldwell gives it as his opinion
that strawberries rather improve than ex-
haust the soil if the herbage is allowed to
decay where it grows.
If your COWS are good ones, your but
ter prime and your market fair, we would
advise you to wait till winter before you
decide to make change.
1t is much more satisfactory way of
doing business to sell butter as soon as
made rather than to hold it for rise
that, possibly, may not come.
Don't you think it better for the COW
to have bit of hay in the morning rather
than be turned out to "pick" at grass
with the frost still on it2 We do.
Keep look cut for the weak places in
the fence. A feast of corn now would
do more harm than two months ago.
You might lose the COW as well as the
corn.
The kind and quality of feed the COWS
eat should be noted, for no matter how
good the breed may be the feed has
much to do with the milk or butter
yield.
The fair is the place to see the differ
ent dairy breeds of cattle, and when
tests for milk and butter are made on the
grounds comparisons can be made Of ac-
tual results attained.
Cleanliness in packing and delivering
butter bespeaks taste and neatness. 1t
goes good ways with many in the make
up of opinion whether the article is
good, bad, or indifferent.
A mixture of dry earth and land plas-
ter is good to use as an absorbent in the
stable for the purpose of retaining the
ammonia, which is lighter than air and
gives that strong pungent smell in stables
when it is escaping.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
TAKE CARE OF THE PUMPKINS.

Not many sound, hard pumpkins will
be fed to COWS. They are far too good
for pies to be wasted thus, and the COW
can be fed something else that is not so
available as "pie timber" There are
several ways OF keeping pumpkins in
good condition for pics. They may be
cut into slices and quickly dried in an
evaporator, or they may be stewed and
placed in sealed jars, so as to exclude the
air, the same as canned fruit is preserved.

~Hon. T. R. Smith, Secretary of the
Ohio State Grange, at a recent picnic in
Crawford county, told the following apt
story to illustrate the kind of protection the
farmer gets from the tariff. The story is
good one and will bear repeating quite often:
A farmer was invited to magnificent din
ner with the tariff barons-the manufactur-
ers who have become enormously wealthy
through the operations of the tariff laws.
The dinner was served in courses, as all such
dinners are, and the first course was soup.
The farmer took his share with the rest. The
second course was brought, consisting of
roast turkey, fricasseed chicken ahd the GUS
tomary garnishes. The farmer was again
given soup. The third course came in due
time, including all the delicious viands from
the four quarters of the globe and wines Of
the richest and most famous vintage. Still
the farmers portion was soup: This con-
tinued to the end of the feast the manufac-
turers gorging themselves with the rarest,
richest and dantiest food while the farmer
ate soup for every course.
And he might have added that the farmers
soup is getting thinner and thinner each
year, until now 1t is hardly rich enough to
longer sustain life.

In accordance with a cablegram re-
ceived from New York, thirty of the en-
gineers and clerks on the canal at Grey
town were discharged
The rapid reduction of the payroll Of
the Canal Company does not look as
though work was being pushed with that
energy that we read about in the Amer
lean newspapers that are booming the
canal. A month ago there were 675 men
on the works, but to-day not over 500
remain, and the prospect is that good
many of these will soon go. The work
will now be confined to Slice, where
rock is being taken out for the break
water. Five hundred out OF ZOO feet of
piling have been driven to depth of ten
feet. Some wiseacres say that strong
current, caused by change in the river
channel, is liable to undermine this
work at any time, though at present the
action of the water is banking up sand
along the line. No mattresses are down,
no filling has been done as yet to speak
of, ard work will soon have to be stopped
unless more piles come to hand.

posed reduction of duties-it meant
$50 reduction of price on the ton
of sugar, and many plantations
could not stand it. One planter told
him that morning that it would
be better in such an event to lease the
land to Chinese for rice. The country
does not want anything of that kind. 1t
simply means turning the country over
to the Chinaman. Nothing had lately
been said in the papers about asking for
a bounty, but he understood that men
interested in our raw material are alive
to the matter, Mr.. Spreckels, for in
stance, who says if the reduction Of
duties cannot be prevented he will work
for bounty. The United States pro-
lection to her own sugar has notamount-
ed to much in results, but now the de-
velopment of the beet and sorghum in
terests will make a demand for the
bounty, so that these interests shall have
the same protection as they have under
the present tariff. This would shut up
some outside cane sugar countries while
giving the home production additional
impetus. 1t seemed to the speaker that
it would not be advisable for US to try to
get any more than commercial treaty.
The United States is now waiting for the
Hawaiian Government to act, and moth
ing will be done until il does act.
