FARM AND Garden NOTES

Prepare ground well for winter wheat.
As the pastures shorten, lengthen ra-
tions.
Calves need to be fed their food at
blood heat.
Cruelty to an intelligent animal begets
viciousness.
Always have something On hand that
team can do. |
A good farmeris pretty likely to have
good garden.
Keep ducks and geese separate from
the other poultry.
Turkey hens mature earlier, as a rule,
than the gobblers.
Don't pour your water on flower beds;
always use sprinkler.
The profits of poultry keeping depend
on attention to little things.
The semi. starvation of young stock is
one of the farmers absurdities.
AS rule, farmers cultivate their land
too poorly and sow too much seed.
1t does not pay to keep an animal for
its beauty, This world demands use.
Don't have your pigs teeth kept sore
by cracking hard, dry kernels of corn.
Don't think that because a pig is thor
oughbred he will thrive and grow fat on
a less daily ration than the mongrel.
Let the stalls be separated by parti-
tions, not by bars. They prevent the
horses from biting and kicking each
other.
1t is said that typhoid fever has been
traced to dirty pig pen, the virus com.
ing into the house on the unwashed feet
of flies.
Attend the fairs, farmers meetings
and institutes. If you have learned any
thing this season, don't be afraid to let
your neighbors know it.
The change from warm to cooler wealth
er and the hot days and cold nights
are apt to produce in horses, if not
looked after properly, severe colds.
Hogs and pigs may do we'll sleeping
on the ground in dry, warm weather,
but they need shelter and a dry bed
these cool nights when heavy Gews fall.
Duck culture is now very important
part of poultry keeping and yet within
few years, people did not suppose that
ducks were worth keeping for profit.
They now know better.
Twenty drops of carbolic acid to a ten
quart pail of drinking water, removing
chickens and burning sulphur in the
house they occupy, is an effectual remedy
for chicken cholera. Try it.
Fowls that have free range in the
field or meadow will be certain to be
benefited and find plenty to live upon;
give them little whole corn or wheat
at night and they ought to shell out the
eggs.
Some farmers will, no doubt, clear
several hundred dollars out of this sea-
sons flock of chicks. Can you not say
you can. Many supply their household
needs from their flock of fowls. Why
not you2
A hen that lays soft shelled eggs now
is weak from moulting, and needs lime
and grit and good wholesome food; lime
in the water is good, and should be used
when you find the condition of the flock
demands it.
Professor Baily says: sit may not be
generally known that the chokeberry can
be used as stock for dwarfng apples
have fruited the crab Montreal Beauty
on it and have worked other apples on it
successfully"
Mulching raspberries is a very good
practice where it is practicable. The
mulch must be put on thickly enough TO
keep down weeds, or it will be more
trouble than tits worth, and will pre-
vent cultivation and increase the hard
labor.

TRANsPLANTING ONIONS.

ably earlier than they could be put in out
of doors. The young plants were six to
eight inches high when transplanted in
April, ct which time bed was prepared
and grown in the usual way. The
manuring and cultivation of each bed
was the same except the transplanting.
The onions were left three inches apart
In the row, which in those grown from
seed involved extra labor in thinning
nearly as great as that from transplant
ing. The difference between the two
beds was markedly in favor of those
'transplanted, from the very first. Six
kinds of onions were experimental with,
and in each case the yield of those trans
planted was much the largest. Giant
Racca yielding 1106 bushels and 500
bushels respectfully; Yellow Danvers
yielding 594 bushels and $50 bushels;
Red Wetherield, 779 bushels and $50
bushels by the two methods. The
greater size and uniformity of the trans
planted onions made them much more
salable, and they also matured earlier.
Professor Green estimates that there was
nearly half the labor of cultivating saved
by having the onion transplanted. Even
were it otherwise, it is evident that
transplanting is well worth trying. 1t
is especially adapted to market gardeners,
but any farmer who is far enough ad-
vanced TO grow onions as crop will also
need greenhouse, so that in this re-
spect he will have equal advantages with
the market gardener.

ALCOHOL AND CHILDHOOD.

Professor Demme of Berne, at the recent
International Alcohol Congress nt Chris
tann, presented an interesting report of an
investigation which he had made as to the
influence of alcohol upon children. Having
unusual opportunities for this study from his
position as superintendent of q hospital for
children, he selected two groups of ten fam
lilies each. under similar external environ
mont One group of fifty-seven was mani
testify affected more or less by alcohol; the
other sixty-one was unaffected or at least
very little affected. OF the fifty-seven who
exhibited the effects of alcoholism twenty
had inebriate fathers, the mothers and grand
parents being moderate drinkers. Only forty
five per cent. of these (nine) had healthy con-
stitutions; thirty-one had inehriate fathers
and grandfathers, but temperate mothers
and grandmothers. Only two of these, or a
little over six per cent, were healthy. Six
children had parents and grandparents in
temperate; one of these survives, a sufferer
from epileptic seizures. In remarkable con.
trast is the state Of the sxty-one children
belonging to temperate families. eighty-two
per cent. of whom enjoy good health, three
have died and eight are in bad health. Pro
lessor Demme also reported the results Of an
experiment on several children, from whom
all intoNcants were kept during eight
months, and TO whom the usual allowance of
wine and water was given during the re-
naming four months of the year These
children were reported to have slept more
soundly and longer, and to have appeared In
better spirits and more active during the nol.

TEMPERANCE AND LONGEVITY.

An endeavor was recently made to show
that total abstainers do not live so long
as those who consume alcohol in moderation;
also, strange to say, that those who often
drink to excess outlive the teetotalers. State
ments purporting to come from the medical
profession in England were adduced in sup
port. The whole story had q suspicious ap.
pearence. The facts were evidently cooked,
but so skillfully as to deceive unwary people,
All persons possessing common sense are
aware that an excessive consumption of al
cohol leads to ill health and high ratio of
mortality. But many are not convinced
that even what is called moderate indulgence
tends to lessen the duration of life. The
United Kingdom Temperance and General
Provldent Institution, London, England, has
Two classes of Insurance. one for total alb
stainers and another for temperate people
who are not total abstainers All insurance
Offices carefully avoid insuring the lives of
drunkards, or of those whom they suspect to
be inclined to over-indulgence. That of it.
self is sufficient to show that the universal
experience of life offices is that alcoholic ex-
cess means a high rate of mortality. The
directovs of the before mentioned institution
at their .ast annual meeting reported that
Tor the total-abstinence section ON the whole
number of life policies for every 100 claims
estimated to fail due by the actuary's tables
there were only fifty-nine deaths, but that in
the general section-that is among those
who drank in strict moderation-the deaths
amounted TO eighty-six out Of the expected
100. Therefore, out of equal numbers of two
lots of insurers-total abstainers and tenn
perate men-the abstainers showed forty
five per cent. better than the temperate

WINTER DArRYtNe NOT MpRAor1oAR1r,

1t is thought and said by some that
winter dairying can not be followed as a
rule because the cows will not breed in
the season required. This is mistake.
Cows are entirely artificial, and while
undomesticated animals through the
necessity of their condition, supply of
food and suitable weather being the chief
of these, drop their young in the spring,
this rule does not apply to domesticated
animals. Cows may be bred at any sea-
son of the year, and any farmer who
wishes to change from summer to winter
dairying will find no difficulty in the way
mentioned if he will keep back his cows
until the desired season. December or
January is the best month for breeding
COWS for this purpose. It is not to be
feared that every dairyman will make
this change at the same time and so dis
turb the common order of things, for
many preparations are required besides
fresh cows.-4mericaa Agricultyist.

All About Slate Pencils.

In the northwestern part of the town
of Castleton, Rutland county, VT, is
the only mandatory of slate pencils
in the United States. The slate rock as
it comes from the quarry is first
sawed into blocks as wide as the slate
pencil is long. These blocks are easily
split into slabs little thicker than the
finished pencil, which is about five
slxteenths of an inch. These are passed
through planning machine and over
an emery belt, which makes them
even and smooth Next they are
pushed into the jaws of machine
called crocodile" which consists of
pair of steel plates. in the under one
OF which are six rows of curved
knives, each being set so as to cut
little deeper than the preceding one.
These pillow out parallel groove half
way through the slab, which is then
turned and laid on steel plate having
ridges which just fit these grooves.
This slides back under the six rows of
teeth of another crocodile" which
cuts the grooves on the other side and
leaves the square pencils side by side.
They are then rounded and pointed
by holding them on an emery belt,
and one man can thus sharpen about
5000 day.
This factory makes $4,000 pencils
daily, and employs twenty-five hands.
We might wonder where so many PEN
ellis go, but when we consider that
there are one or two million school
boys and girls. and many of them
rather careless, and that slate pencils
are easily broken. we have no doubt
the factory will have its 'hands full"
to supply the demand.
The old way Of making pencils was
to saw them out square from the slab
one by one. They were then boxed
and distributed among poor families,
who whitfield them round by hand for
about half dollar thousand.
Pencils are made from slate much
softer than the states upon which they
are used. and very nice pencils are
made from soapstone. New York
