Caterpillar salad.

A veteran who had been through half
a dozen campaigns. and was very par
ticular about what be ate, was invited
out 10 a grand dinner party. He sat
almost directly opposite the hostess. and
was painfully conscious that every move
he made could be observed by her. Sud-
denly, at the height Of the festivities,
the veteran came across a caterpillar in
his salad A furtive glance at the
hostess disclosed the fact that she. too,
had discovered the embarrassing circum-
stance. 1t was critical moment, but
the old soldier was equal TO the occasion.
Without changing muscle, he gathered
up the caterpillar with forkful Of
salad and swallowed both. The look Of
gratitude which he received from his
hostess few minutes later warmed his
heart In due time the story leaked
out, and when somebody asked the old
campaigner how he liked caterpillar
salad the reply came like a red hot shot:
DO you take me for man who would
spoil a dinner party for a little thing

ECONOMY IN FARMING.

Improved farming implements and
labor saving machines are now SO com
mon that the farmer that is content to
plod along with only those of the long
lineage pattern is seldom to be found in
any good farming community. | GER
tainly would not discourage any one from
getting the best farm tools for his use, as
they will usually be found the cheapest in
the end; but there is such thing as
OVERRIDING this business and investing
more in implements to work with than
one will be able to realize from their
use. Before a farmer runs in debt for
expensive machinery he should estimate
the amount of money his crops will prob
ably bring him; and if he is at all wise he
will not pay more for labOr-savlng ma
chimes than their use will be worth to him.
Every farmer should gauge his eXpendl-
lures by his probable income from his
crops, and not attempt to rival more
wealthy neighbors with larger farms in
the character and variety of his farm
tools, but, as the old saying goes, he
should cut his coat according to his
cloth. A farmer in moderate circum-
stances should also be careful about hiring
help and should first ask himself the
question if his hired man is likely to
yield him profit over and above the
wages paid him and a fair allowance for
his board. The profits in farming are
too small now to allow Of any cXpcndi-
lures that dc not return an actual profit
in some World.

REQUISITES FOR PEACHES.

Our best cultivators agree very nearly
as to methods of treating a peach
orchard; are equally alive to danger of
yellows, and no nearer than ever to Sc
curing a regular annual crop. Most Of
them favor light, loose soil for this fruit,
and if not naturally fertile, then apply
stimulants A rich compost will prove
useful, but as a rule mineral fertilizers
are preferred in most soils. Potash in
some form is decidedly the best, most
economical and certain Of all plantfOOds
for the peach. In many instances trees
that showed incipient indications Of the
disease were brought back to vigorous
health by applying this alkaI TO the soil.
Although highly advantageous TO all
kinds Of fruit, potash Is even more vaIu-
able in peach-cuIturc than in any other.
Thorough cultivation in a young orchard
is indispensable to success; formation of
rootlets in the peach requires very
loose. open soil, 50 the frequent use OF
cultivatOr always makes itself visible III
accelerated growth and richer foliage.
Many orchardists believe that Il free
growth will in a measure ward oil dis
ease; that fungal disorders more fire.
quentIv affect slOw-grOwlng trees than
those in vigorous health. Frequent cul-
tivatiOn NAV be omitted when the
orchard reaches bearing age, on the prin-
ciple that fruit is more plentiful when
growth is slightly checked, but so long
as crops are gathered some equivalent
ought to be returned to the soil. |
think we may all agree that young tree
growing energetically needs an annual
heading back of the leading shoots at
least: and whenever il becomes too
bushy. a condition such treatment Is
liable to induce, the superriuous branches
must be thinned out Another requisite
is thinning the fruit; large, finely colored
specimens are so much IN demand and
command such 4 good price that the
comparatively little expense Of thinning
is more than ovcrbalanced by the re
ceipts. Each spring, if not twice in the

FARM AxD GARDEN NOTES.

Crrrants and goosebcrries need one
good trimming out annually, cutting out
old wood and thinning the new.
Keep your fence boards and posts un-
der shelter until you are ready to use
them. Then draw them out and use
them at once.
1t has been learned that potatoes re-
quirc IA due proportion Of nitrogenous
and mineral food, As haS long been held
by good farmers and mat mineral man
ures alone produce little result. The
liberal use Of barn yard manure seems 10
be justified by the large yield, which -
thought to offset the disadvantage Of
greater liability Of disease. Continuous
growth OF potatoes in the same land APP
pears 70 render the crop less liable to us

The conditions for growing the best

An Enormous Cannon.

The American Consul at Dusseldorf, in
a recent report, describes the largest gun
vet manufactured at Krupp's works at
Essen, which is intended for the forti-
finest quality cast steel and weighs 270,-
900 pounds about 49, tons); the calibre
is 49, inch, and the barrel A feet long,
the core having been removed in one
piece. The greatest diameter IS 164
feet, and the range about II miles. 1t
will fire two shots per minute, each esti-
mated TO cost $500. At the trial the
projectile, feet long and weighing $500
pounds. was propelled by charge of
700 pounds of powder, and penetrated
10 inches ofarmor, going 1872 yards be-
yond the target.
