The Toad and the Duke Of wellington

Short Cuts has unearthed a peculiarly
delightful letter of the Duke of Yelling
toms, which runs as follows: "Strath-

shall the Duke of Wellington is happy to
inform William Harries that his toad is
alive and well.n During one of his coun-
try walks the Duke found a little boy
lying on the ground bending his head
over tame toad and crying as if his
heart would break. On being asked
what was the matter the child explained
that he was crying "for his poor toad. "
He brought it something to eat every
morning, but he was now to be sent away
to school long distance off, and he was
afraid that nobody else would give it
anything to eat, and that it would die
| The Duke, however, consoled him by
saying that he would himself see the toad
well fed, and by further promising to
let the boy hear as to its walfare. During
the time the boy was away at school be

EssENT1ALs IN GRAPE oRow1No.

Mildew and rot are the great obstacles
in theway of profitable grape culture in
this country, and while knowledge of
the remedies and prewentives that have
in many cases saved valuable crops is
important to any one who would engage
in grape.growing, it is even more i'm
portant that the climatic conditions for
success should also be understood. The
mildew which attacks the under surface
is encouraged by dull, cloudy weather,
with occasional showers, or when heavy
dews are deposited where the moisture
cannot be readily evaporated. The best
grape climate or location appears to be
where dews are light OF altogether alb
sent. Instances are given where grapes
on trellis under cover have escaped
mildew and rot, while those near by, but
without protection, have suffered. Per

LIVING FROM A GARDEN.

1t is no exaggeration to say that good
garden well cared for will furnish large
family with much of the food they eat
and nearly everything except bread, meat
and butter from early in June until frosts
cut off the supplies. If the garden be
what it should be it will give far more
than half of the money value of what is
consumed from the farmers table. 1t is
by making most of the advantages that
farmers possess that they can stem the
prevailing tide from country to the city.
1t ought to be stemmed; but what ad-
vantage can the city resident see, if when
he visits his farmer friends he finds some
of the family posted off in haste to the
city to get vegetables, often canned,
which little care and labor on the
farmers part would enable him to supply
from his own garden. 1t is true the farmer
says he cannot spare the time. Why can
not hef Simply because he devotes SO
much of his labor to growing crops,
which after selling do not leave him
enough to pay his hired help. That
alone ought to satisfy him that change
in the programme is needed. Suppose
next year he concludes to grow less to
sell, to hire less help and devote more of
his own time to the garden. 1t is, or
ought to be, the richest spot on his
farm, and will pay better than any other
for the labor bestowed upon it.--Boston

THE FARM AND GARDEN.


It is dangerous to try to force or push
the obstruction down. Animals have
been killed by this process. Some dairy
men keep timber stick with knob on
the end TO punch the obstruction down,
but this method is also a dangerous one.
A better method is to draw the animals
head, while in stanchion, up with a
stout rope, and fasten to the top; then,
having previously melted one-half pint
of lard, place it in bottle while warm,
pour it down the cows throat; she will
struggle, and the more violent the bet
ter, as the melted grease will make the
throat slippery, and then you can easily
work the obstruction up with the hand.
Sometimes they will cough it up.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Farm for profit.
Keep up the fertility.
Good crops reduce the cost.
The best asters are the traniplanted
ones.
The daphne indica requires good
drainage.
Feed economically but not at the ex-
pense Of growth.
The cost of the various crops will vary
almost every year.
No one season can be taken as a true
guide for the next.
Sell stock whenever they are fully
ready, irrespective of price.
In threshing take pains to see that all
the straw is stacked carefully.
Latania borbonica palms are widely
used for decorative purposes.
Summer pruning is the best if fol-
lowed up properly every year.
With hogs quick growth and early
maturity determines the profit.
After all the crops are all harvested is
good time to haul out manure.
Tie up roses and chrysanthemums and
carnations before they bend and break.
Very comfortable quarters must be
provided If pigs are wintered over with
profit.
Allowing fruit to go to waste is to lose
part of the farm profits that should be
saved.
In majority of cases it will be better
to buy whatever bran is needed early in
the fall.
Pinching the ends of fuchias not
only improves shape, but gives abundance
of flowers.
The new abutilon eclipse not only has
fine foliage but retains It's blossoms and
blooms freely.
Bran can be fed to the milk cows
nearly every day in the year with profit if
milk is an item.
While there is time see that plenty
of shelter is provided for all the stock
that is to be wintered over.
If you want to get swamp muck the
dry summer time is the best to do it in.
The muck is lighter when dry.
After the stables and sheds are thor
oughly cleaned outa good coat of white
wash will make them healthier.
The quality of fodder for feeding is
often considerably lessened by allowing
it to get too ripe before cutting.
A cheap hog and poultry house can
readily be made to return good profit,
have water, dry and convenient.
If you have nothing better lay in a
good supply of dry earth to use as an alb
sorbent in your stables when needed.
Apply lime whitewash in your stables,
your hen house, your pig pen and every
where that insects can lay their nits.
During the cool weather in the early
fall is the best time for fattening hogs,
and they should be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
Two items are important in draining.
One is to secure good outlet and the
other is to provide regular descent for
| the water.
Cut oats as soon as the meat in the
kernel gets doughy. The straw will
then be bright and about as good to feed
as timothy hay.
Cornmeal is excellent for fatteniug
pigs, but it needs to have fed with il
something more nitrogenous to make
muscle and promote growth.
Always leave a strip for moving be
tween your growing crop and the pasture
fence. 1t will prevent cattle from reach
ing over aud breaking the fence.
Do not be afraid to furnish your cow
shade for fear they will not feeC
enough. They make milk when chewing
the cub and not when filling thu
stomach.

Shoes for Every Occasion.

1t is easy to account for the increased
consumption Of shoes. Our ancestors of
either sex seldom possessed more than
one pair of "best" shoes for Sun
days and special occasions. A stout
pair made of morocco, carefully put
away when not in use, lasted a woman
two or three years at least. A pair of
the lighter grade of kip, or, as a luxury,
heavy calf brogans, shining under fire.
quent applications of tallow, were pro-
nounced fraud by the masculine wearer
if they gave out beyond hope of repair
inside Of the second year for dress occa-
sions. With these old timers there
were but two specific kinds of footgear.
Now we have shoes for almost every pur-
pose, for the drawing room, bedside,
garden, street, seashore, mountain
what yon will-for tennis, walking,
jumping and sitting still in. Many pco-
pie have several pairs of comparatively
new shoes at time, because of their
cheapness, and it is an economy, for it
divides the wear among great number.
Footwear for specific purposes is not
only sensible and economical, but is ad-
vantageous to the feet. The man who
runs a race requires a sole that will take
a short, quick grip, and the spike pre-
vent a backslide and the loss of race.
For walking match a generous pressure
of the foot at ball and heel, aud shoes
strictly conforming to the shape and mo-
tions of the feet are requisite. The
trotter's light shell shoe would give the
Norman draught horse no purchasing
power to pull his load, and heavy,
clumsy shoe on the trotter would lose
him the race.-Sh0e and Leather Re.

FEED DOWN THE MEADOWS.


1t has been generally taught by our
best farmers that it was wrong to pasture
meadows in the fall and that the best re-
suits could only be attained by allowing
the aftergrowth to go down to protect
the roots in winter and to enrich the soil
for future production, says S. E. Rice in
Neto England Homestead. Asserting to
that theory without bringing it to the
test of experiment was the greatest
mistake that l ever made in farming.
To-day assert that 1t is only theory, and
that actual experiment on many farms
will prove it false theory. Twenty
years ago, while keeping a diary of fifty
to sixty COWS, my practice was strictly in
accordance with this theory and no pas
turing of meadows in the fall was al
lowed. A friend of mine, one of the
best farmers of my acquaintance, told
me that my practice was wrong and took
me to one of his fields to show an ex-
pertinent, proving that the removal of
the second growth was no detriment to
the succeeding crop. He had moved and
removed the second growth from a part
of the field the fall before, leaving part
uncut. The fall growth was not so heavy
as to smother or kill the grass, aud if the
above theory were true, the succeeding
crop should have been much the best on
the uncut portion of the field. Exactly
the opposite of this was true, and when l
saw the field just before haying the
boundary between the two parts was plain
enough to attract the attention of an yone
passing by. The part from which the
fall growth had been removed l judged
to be twenty-five per cent. better than
the other.
