FARM NOTES.

Noxious weeds, such as dock, plantaln,
mullen and others, can often be DESTROYED
by pulling up just after good soaking
rain, while the ground is soft
With peach trees il is often quite an
item to commence the cultivation early
Grass is nearly always in .urious to peach
trees; consequently clean cultivation
should be given.
Many fail to give the ounce the caro-
and attention necessary to secure the
best results. Profitably cared for it is
one of the best, as we'll as most profit.
able, fruits that can be grown.
II the land is very rich melons,
squashes, late cucumbers and pumpkins
can often be planted among the corn to
a good advantage. The shade afforded
by the corn during the hot days of July
and August will be considerable ben
eft
AS soon as the earlier crops have ma
tured other crops should be ready to
take their place. In the garden espe-
cially II is true economy to keep all the
ground occupied during the growing
season. Crops are better for the soil
than weeds
Seed for late cabbage and celery
plants should be sown early. These are
crops that il properly managed, can be
kept all nter and add that much TO
the food variety. One Difficulty in
growing celery is that the seed is often
not sown early enough.
Chickens are about the only kind of
poultry that will bear confinement
Ducks, turkeys, geese and guineas must
have a good range in order to thrive
well, and in keeping them, especially
on the farm, it will cost much less than
to attempt TO keep them in close quar-
ters and be obliged TO feed.
The carrot is especially desirable for
soups, and is used freely in various
vegetable soups. There are, besides,
various ways in which carrots NAV be
cooked to form an acceptable dish. To
cook carrots, cut in round slices and
serve the amber pieces in rich cream
sauce. This makes a dainty-looking
dish

Tho County Poor House IBurned AZ Nor
witch, n. r., and Eleven Inmates Per-
iahed.
NORWICH, N. Y. May 0.-The Chem
ango poor house and insane asylum, six
teen miles northwest OF here we're en-
tirely consumed by fire Wednesday
night and thirteen inmates 7enished.
Thetlre was discovered about eleven
o'clock in the north wing Of the poor
house building, whore the idiots were
kept There were no provisions for ex-
tinguishing the flames. The keepers
and neighbors gave their atten-.on TO
getting out the i25 paupers and insane
and let the building burn. They were
all rescued, but eleven idiots and two
women are missing. Six bodies could be
seen slowly burning. Tho other FIVE
are supposed TO be covered up,
The poor house building was three
stories high and built OF wood. The in
sane asylum was also wooden build
ing, two stories high and only separated
from the poor house byea drive way.
The property was estimated TO be worth
SIS, 600 and was insured for 100000.
Wednesday afternoon Deborah Dibble,
woman in the idiot department. put
her lighted pipe into her pocket and
was soon enveloped in flames and later
died from the effects Of the burns.
1t is supposed that some of the idiots
got hold of some matches and in playing
with them set fire to the building and
caused the disaster.
The names OF the idiots who perished
were; Sarah Mills, Alton; Sarah Gal
lagher, Norwich; Almeda Austin, this
county; Sarah Bailey, Columbus; Laura
Gray, OF Greene; Adelia Benedict, Of
Oneida; Lucy Warren, of Oneida;
Arvilla Atwood, Norwlch; Deborah
Dibble, cambridge; Mary 0'Daniels
Austin.
All the departments in the institution
were crowded, and it can well be
imagined that the rescue Of the poor
creatures, many of them old and very
feeble and others wild with fear and
terror, which added to their insane de-
lusions was by no means an easy task.
The keepers and citizens worked as
best they could to carry, drive, drag
and push the inmates out, but the
flames spread SO rapidly there was
little time and the great wonder is
that so many we're rescued. There was
little system in the conduct of the ef-
fort to save. People went at it haphaz-
ard, appalled, by the cries and means
of the inmates. Not one of those who
worked expected that so many would be
saved

A Good story Told ny Prof Eichberg of ON
Of Ills Pupils.
Giving advice Is one thing, and feel
ing tho effects OF having IL followed Il
quito another thing. Prof. julius Eicb
berg, the well-known vlollnist, says thai
he once had as pupil q promising little
fellow OF some eight years, who would
not study. AS tho boy was about 10 SCI
out with his family for tho country
whore they were TO pass the summer
Mr.. Eichberg asked him what he should
do there.
ooh" said tho boy ~ shall play and
pick flowers and have good time"
eyes, but suppose you made up your
mind to get up an hour earlier every
morning to practice? Yoa would still
have time for sport, and In tho fall you
would bo ablo TO play those sonatas you
admire"
The result OF the conversation was
that Otto flung himself upon the neck
of his teacher, OF whom he was very
fond, and promised TO do what was
asked Of him.
A few weeks later, as Mr.. Eichberg
was driving through the mountains with
his family, he was one day delayed, 50
that the hotel whore they were TO pass
the night was reached at a late hour OF
the evening.
The accommodations were poor, and
the night was warm, and IL was near
morning before the travellers fairly got
TO sleep, and 1t seemed TO Mr.. Eichberg
that he had scarcely closed his eyes be-
fore he was aroused by the doleful
sound Of a violin in room overhead,
where some one was at work upon an
exercise with which the listener was
only too familiar.
For an interminablo hour he tossed
about, hoping that the noise would cease;
then he rose and dressed, and fastened
TO the Office OF the hotel to protest
"Yes it is something OF nuisance, y
the clerk answered, coolly, "but we are
used to it here. The boy has played
every morning this summer, and 1t was
in the bargain when they took the rooms
that he should be allowed TO do it..
1t WAS evidently Of mouse to complain
TO the cler6, and Mr.. Eichberg relieved
his mind by declaring that he should at
least like to SEQ the player Of the violin.
"0h, you can see him If you want TO, T"
the clerk said. "He has just come
downstairs. You viii find him outside
there"
Away hurried the guest, the more ir-
ritated by the way in which his remon-
STRANGE had been received, and before
the door on the lawn stood a trim little
lad with his face turned away.
''Are you the boy" demanded Mr..
Eichberg, sternly, that has been max
ing such a noise on the violin for an
hour?"
The boy turned and looked at him, at
first with an expression OF fright; then,
with cry of joyous recognition, little
Otto flung himself impulsively into his
teachers arms.
"Oh, my dear Mr.. Eichbergl" he cried,
81 am so glad TO see youl ! have got up
and played every morning just as
promisedl"-Youth's Companion.
