FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Air the cellar on mild days.
Mixed farming is the safest.
Use good seed-plant carefully.
Is your wood-house well-flled1
Ground bone is good fertilizer to put
around trees in setting them.
Give your fruit trees a good soil. They
cannot feed and thrive on nothing.
If you want to feed milk to lamb
use TIN can with long spout, like an
oil can.
The best systems Of cropping are in
variably those which call for the most
thorough preparation of the soil.
Much of the trouble had with fruit
trees is due to starvation. Liberal man
uring would make productive many an
orchard that is now of no account.
Give your farm credit for furnishing
you home rent-free and for thousand
and one necessaries and luxuries which
you would have to pay cash for in a city.
A pound of bran makes within seven
teen per cent. of as much milk as a pound
of cornmeal which costs over twice as
much; but corn-meal makes richer milk,
while the bran makes a richer manure.
How long can the fertility of soil be
kept up by the application only of the
three ingredients contained in CONNER
cial fertilizers-potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrogenl Probably until some less
important ingredient is exhausted.
A healthy food for growing pigs may
be made of boiled potatoes, with corn
meal and bran added in proportion of
five pounds meal and ten pounds bran to
a bushel of potatoes. The latter should
be boiled to consistency of thin paste.
The value of manure depends on the
character of the food eaten by the an
imals. 1t cannot contain anything not
contained in the food eaten. This ap-
plies to COW, horse, pig, hen and any
other manure made from animal drop
pings.
There is no need to drag mellow soil
after clover seed has been sown in order
to cover it. The rains will do this better
than man can. Even the brush harrow
often recommended for this purpose is
worse than useless. On winter grain, q
dragging of the hardened surface, to mel
low it before sowing clover and grass
seeds, will insure better catch.
Thorough draining is something thai
all good nurserymen and gardeners put
a high value upon. The crops they pu
on the land are often worth more thar
the first cost of the land itself. Hence,
it is not uncommon for them in SOM
places TO make drains on land leased fo
five or six years, as the losses from ex
cessiye water would be greater than the
cost of draining it off.

An Ex-RepOrter's Millions.

Rockefeller was once newspaper re-
porter, and less than two decades ago
was a business man of only moderate
means in Cleveland, Ohio. His attention
Was attracted to the opportunities for
making money in the handling and re-
fining of the product of the Pennsylvania
oil fields. He started comparatively
small refinery, and from that grew the
most powerful monopoly on earth-the
Standard Oil Trust. How rapidly the
Standard has grown IS shown by the fact
that in 1880 its capital was only 5000,
900, whereas it is now 800, 900, 600. The
par value of the stock is 500 per share,
but it is quoted at S170. 1t pays dividends
amounting TO 10 per cent. per annum.
Rockefeller owns more than majority
of the stock, so that something like
800, 600, 900 of his fortune is represented
in the Trust. He also has extensive
natural gas interests in Ohio, and in ad-
dition is a large owner Of Government
bonds and the securities Of railroads and
other corporations.

CARE OF COWS.

The skin of a COW is as necessary for
the proper publication of the blood as
lungs are, and it discharges in offensive
vapor a greater quantity of matter every
day than the kidneys do. While COW
may discharge twenty pounds of water
through the kidneys she will take into
the stomach one hundred pounds. The
eighty pounds passes off through the skin
chiefly and take along the dead waste
matter which is thrown off from the fine
capillaries through the pores of the skin
with the perspiration. When the milk
has cowy odor you may be sure the
skin is not working right and needs
thorough brushing to remove the scurf
and dried matter which covers up the
pores. And this is the reason why, if
we would have pure milk and sweet
butter, the card and the brush must be
in constant use in the COW stable.-Ne-
brdSkd CahiCdt0r.

Facts About Eino,

The traveller is not so much attracted
to Catania by its reminders Of a mighty
past as he is TO put eyes and feet upon
the monster which all through that known
time stood moaning or laundering above
it. It's ascent is begun within the very
streets Of the city. Strada Edta, Catania's
longest street, beginning at the very edge
of the port side, leads almost due north
toward the volcanoes peak, within n few
feet of eleven thousand feet above the
level of the sea, and fully twenty. eight
miles away. The area of country domi-
mated by the mountain, and at all times
subject to overflow of lava, is astound-
ing. It's circumference is fully one hum
dred and seventy miles, and Il describes
an irregular circle, of greatest diameter
from north to south. Catania stands ut
the extreme Of southern detection in its
southern segment. The Alcantara River,
rising in its northwestern foot hills, flows
to the northeast, thence circles its north
ern edge, and finally SWEEPS around to
the southeast into the sea. The Simeteo
| River, having its source at the northeast,
near that OF the Alcantara, circles the
base, first to the southwest, then south
ward, and then flows around and into the
sea to the southeast, below Catania.
From Catania to the mouth of the Alcan-
tara, the Ionian Sea on the cast, running
with almost straight wall of shore, cuts
thin segment out of this circle. But
within this extraordinarily distinct cir
Gle of 40 miles there is not a square inch
of the earth's surface over which the lava
has not at some time poured; which one
cannot now distinguish to be unadul-
teratcd lava soil; aud which is not sub
joct to-day, or any other time, TO new
coating of molten lava. The entire ma
jestic contour of the mountain, broken
here and there by lesser volcanoes, is
visible from any point at this tremendous
basc.edge; but more strange than all else
is the density of population within the
lower and cultivably luxuriant rim.
Threading the base, along the seashore,
around to the north by the shores of the
Alcautara, around to the south along the
inner, or northern shore of the Simeteo,
and crowding up to the very edge of its
lesser volcanoes, are between sixty and
seventy cities and villages, housing-and
every human being in lifelong danger of
acknowledgement of 300, 900 souls.

Beans need good soil and cult.
walton to yield large crops, twenty-five
bushels per acre or more. The common
opinion that they will make good crop
on poor soil is quite mistaken. The
mode of culture is as follows: After
good plowing and narrowing, the seed,
one and one-half bushels per acre, is
planted by means of hand drill or a
double-horse drill, which plants two
rows; the drills are eighteen inches apart
and the seed is dropped about twelve
inches apart. The land is kept clean and
well worked as for any other crop. The
white marrowfat ornavy bean is the most
prolific and saleable kind. When the
beans are ripe the plants are pulled up
by the roots, the earth being shaken off,
and are stacked up around stakes stuck
in the ground; the plants are arranged
In square stack with roots laid to-
gether at two corners and the beans at
the other corners. This is TO prevent
soiling the beans, bv which they would
be injured and discolored for sale. Beans
stained in any way are unsaleable. The
top of the stack is covered with a bunch
OF straw. When dry the crop is thrashed
with fail; machine will break them
too much.-NeW York Times.

YELLOW LEGGED CHICKENS.

The American preference for yellow
legs and skin, as indicating the quality
of the birds for the table, is based on
nothing more than a notion. How the
prejudice originated against birds with
legs other than yellow we do not know,
but we do know that buyers who Judge
of the quality of a dressed fowl by the
color of the legs deprive themselves of
the choicest kinds to be had. If legs had
anything to do with quality, the dark
legged birds are superior, as it is only a
matter of chance that such superb table
fowls as the Houdans and Langshans have
yellow legs. One can cut off nice slices
from the breast of Houdan or Dorking,
and the flesh is juicy and tender, yet
neither breed has yellow legs. But few
games have yellow legs, yet there is not
yellow legged fowl known that can
approach in the slightest degree to the
game in quality of flesh and large amount
of choice meat in proportion to ofTal.
The ''yellow leg notion is one of the
most foolish with which the American
people are affected, and as long as they
indulge in it they will be supplied accord
ing to their preferences and be denied
the birds that are better.-Fdrm and Fire

Onions, says an Ohio farmer, are nice
crop to cultivate, but they require
clean cultivation to make the crop a
successful one. The onion ground should
always be of the richest and best, and
thoroughly pulverized, so that it will be
easy and pleasant to work. If COM
PEELED to use hard, stiff soil, it should
be broken up in the fall by plow or
spade, so as to better get the benefit of
the winters freezing, when even more
than the usual quantity of well-rotted
manure should be worked into it early
in the spring. Old decomposed hog
manure is specially well adapted to this
crop, also hen manure, which may be
mixed with an equal bulk of soil before
it is applied, and lastly, stable or barn
yard manure. When these have been
thoroughly incorporated I add a heavy
dressing of wood ashes, which have
proven one of the best preventatiyes OF
worms and other injurious insects. I'm
less person keeps his onion-bed per
fectly clean from weeds he had better
raise some other crop, and too much care
cannot be taken to get pure seed from q
trustworthy source. Much care is re-
quired that the small seeds be not GOV.
cred too deep or sown in lumpy soil.

GEESE.

Generally the best profit from geese is
from the feathers, it is only in localities
that the raising of the fowls for market
can be made profitable. But with care
in picking them the feathers that can be
secured will give a good profit for keep
ing. 1t is best to commence reasonably
early in the spring and then regularly all
during the summer. Much of the
amount of profit that it is possible to
realize will depend upon the care taken
in securing the feathers.
Geese need very little care from the
time grass makes a good start to grow in
the spring until cold weather in the fall.
As long as they can secure full supply
of grass very little other feeding will be
necessary. They must have plenty of
water. 1t is not best to let them run
with other poultry. If kept for breeding
three geese for each gander should be
kept.
They will usually lay three times
year, commencing generally in March
and laying about dozen eggs at each
period.
They will generally make their own
nests. The better plan is to hatch un-
der a hen, as geese do not make good
mothers. Like all other young poultry
the better plan is to take pains not to al
low them to run out in the wet, as get
ting the young gosings wet is as bad as
for any other kind of poultry.
They will need about the same feed
and care as the other young poultry.
One advantage with both ducks and
geese is that under average conditions
they are both much less liable to disease
than almost any other kind of poultry,
and often this is quite an itcm.-Ameri-
can Grange Bulletin.

A Tarantula's Nest.

Mr.. Earl, the fruit dealer, while pick
ing bananas from bunch in front of his
fruit store yesterday morning, placed his
hand upon something which at first
sight he supposed. to be a mouse, but q
second look convinced him that he had
found the dreaded and poisonous taran-
tula. With a cane he attempted to dis
lodge the ugly insect, but dropped the
stick without ceremony when the long
legged spider jumped up toward his
hand. The tarantula fought so desper-
ately that Mr.. Earl pushed the stick hur-
nedly into the bananas, breaking open
the trantula's nest.
There were thousands of little insects
in the nest. They were trihe larger
than heas, and in many respects they
closely resemble small red spiders
the home nest, there was a scattering
among the crowd that had gathered to
watch the proceedings. Whether these
infant tarantulas have yet developed the
poisonous biting habits of their wicked
looking parents, small boys and amateur
naturalists in the vicinity are not agreed,
but all agreed that it would be well to
keep a safe distance away from the
spiders.
After some further difficulty Mr.. Earl
succeeded in killing the large tarantula
and placing the nest and hundreds of
the little ones in a glass jar. The nest
is cream colored, about the size of a
small hens egg, and the young taran-
tulas summing themselves in the glass jar
occupied the attention of passers-by
yesterday afternoon. No one knows how
many escaped, but myriads still remain.
