FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Always hatch eggs from healthy fowls,
eggs of fair size.
The clematis is favorite climber with
everybody who has grown it.
Provide good, dry quarters for the
ewes during the lambing season.
Plenty of good feed and fresh air is
better than carding for the COW.
If your pullets do not lay they are
probably too fat; feed less grain.
In four-foot rows it will take about
5000 asparagus plants to the acre.
Hay for horses ought to he of the best
quality; it should never'be overripc.
Equal parts by weight of corn and
oats ground together make good grain
ration for a COW.
AS no two animals are alike, it is wise
to consult their special appetites and de-
sires when feeding them.
y Be1sue that there are no cracks or
knot holes in the hen house through
which the cold winds can whistle.
No matter about the fine points of the
cow for the dairy, if the milk pail and
the churn show that she is ali right.
The general opinion is that cows i'm
prove until they are seven or eight years
old. 1t pays to take care of the heifcrs.
., Lay oQt your garden while you have
fteissye, hgd arrange to put everything in
Rows 4sS mitch as possible, so that the
cultivator will do the work.
Hogs have. their place in farm economy;
can give profit when well managed;

way is made the grazing ground for
swine.
y. Farmers should invest few dollars in
pufc. bred fowls for the benefit of their
boys, if they have fancy in that direc-
ton. A boy needs something that he
can call his own.
1t is said that rats are so fond of sun
flower seeds that they will, if plenty,
flock into the wire-cagek of-a-trap in
such quantity as to nearly fill it. But
they should be fed awhile on the seed be-
fore introducing the trar.

VARIATION IN SUBSoIL.

There is much difference in character
of the subsoil as in that nearer the sur

pends on what underlics the usual depth

soil is often an advantage, as .it-will, ro,.
good wheat lands, contain more of the

CARE OF STOCK.

AS the season is now at hand after
the unusually open weather, when the
utmost care must be taken of I'LL live
stock q include all animal life on the
farm, the prudent farmer will not trust
his cattle and horses to the care of 4
chore boy or a person who hascpo capital
invested, and who cares notftiife for the
well being of the animals under his
charge.
How many Of us have seen thc. -miscr-
able condition Of the farm Yards of
certain class of farmers, who from sick.
ness or other cause are unable to pGrson-
ally attend to their stock during the
winter. Doors off their hinges, shbvcs
and forks broken, manure iiho5t block

thing having a most terrible look to one

Ii farmer is too idle or too i'll to at

Self d~octoring is always dangerous,
except for the simplest ailments. Few
persons understand the significance of
their symptoms; the difficulty of doing
so is greatly increased by the complex
nature Of most diseases, and the modif-
cation Of treatment demanded by indi-
vidual temperament and hereditary ten
denotes. Even II the patient knows what
ais him he is not likely to know the
remedy, the size and frequency of the
dose. and the proper regulation Of the
diet In connection with it.
How profound is the general Ignorance
upon this subject is shown by the enor-
nous consumption Of medicines. Multi
tudes Of people try one nostrum after
another in utter blindness. II all such
compounds were thrown into the sea it
would save every year millions of dollars
and thousands of lives.
During the prevalence of a widespread
epidemic self d~octoring becomes pecul-
iarly perilous. Fear is in the air, and is
more contagious than smallpox itself.
Under its Influence men fly to drugs
either to ward of the dreaded attack or
to cure a disease which very likely exists
only in the patients excited imagination.
The impaired condition Of the system
under this i'll advised dosing invites the
very attack which the dosing was in
tended to avert.-Youth's Companion.

The freshest of fresh eggs and lemon
juice, sugar, almond oil and rose water,
mixed with utmost care and cleanliness,
stirred and beaten for hours upon hours,
smelling ~delicately as if a rose had been
dipped into it some time, should make q
tempting cosmetic to create beauty or
restore 1t to itself.
We all feel the charm of ''balmy breath
that doth almost persuade justice to
sheathe her sword" and this bottle of
clear red liquid, with a few drops poured
in q glass of water, will so purify the
breath and all within the lips that one
need lot mind how closely the hearers
attention hangs upon them. The same
liquid is sovereign for dyspepsia, and re-
duces the interior to an amiable state
very quickly.
1t is nice to have something one can
depend on to neutralize the breath from
a decaying tooth in that state where the
dentist cannot work at it, or undo the
effects of a sleepless night, which never
fails to leave the breath affected. A few
drops Of such q tincture will often pre-
vent the toothaehe which comes Of eat
ing sweets. In short, a really good tooth
wash is the first of cosmetic necessities.

Getting Ready for tn. Old Masters.

A young lady came to a Boston ar
fist to take lessons, and after she had in
formed him that she expected to 20
abroad in three months and in that time
wished to learn to copy the old masters
in order to partly pay her expenses in
Europe, she added;

the things 1 wanted to ask you. Pastels
wouldn't have to dry, you know, and ]
could wear gloves so that / shouldn't get
my fingers smutted; only I did not know
whether they would pack we'll"
The artist looked at her q moment In
silent amazement and decided that she
was not quizzing him, but was in sober
earnest.
IT dare say pastels would by all means
be best for you" he said, "but l do not
give lessons in pastel. You will have to
find somebody else."-Boston Courier.

Some half dozen years ago l knew q
man who was hard, stern, grasping, who
never allowed u dollar to slip through
his fingers; whose faithful wife worked
early and late that he might not have to
spend an unnecessary cent. Many and
many a time have I seen her on her
knees, cleaning her floor with q brush; i
have seen her, too, stand up and put her
hands to her back and moan with pain.
I have seen her paint her own floors, and
paper her own walls, and beat her own
carpets, with great, rough hands and red
arms barred to the blistering winds.
Well, let me tell you how she was re-
warded.
Aftcr years had worn by in toll and
care, with never q caress or a word OF
appreciation or a ray Of pleasure, this
unhappy couple bought a lot in a fine
location and builded therepn a beautiful
home-one that excited admiration in
every breast. 1t was all finished and
elegantly furnished. The lawn was the
loveliest in the whole city, with foun.
tains playing upon it from morning till
night; the greenhouse was filled with
rare flowers. Oh, each time passed that
house / broke a commandment. When
it was ready for occupancy the poor,
tired, worn out wife sickened, and ON
the very night she was to have moved
into her new house she gave one long
sigh and went home to a land whence
there is no returning.
In five months her husband had mar
ried again, and everything that had been
planned with such patient hope and love
had tn he chauued 70 p1aaaa the naw
mistress, while the old one with the
broken heart lay with care lined face
and hard, work worn hands out in Lone
Fir cemetery. This wa the first picture
Of its kind that 1 aver saw, but 1 have
since found admirable copies of it hang
ing along the walls Of life.-West Shore.
