FARM NOTES.

An orch ard needs blowing at least
every other year. This reduces the in
sects by given the birds and poultry a
chance at the larvae, or even at the ma
ture insects.
If it be necessary to haul in hay in a
half-cured or half-dried condition, it is
much better to sprinkle air-slacked lime
over it than to add salt. The reason is
that salt gathers moisture while lime
absorbs moisture.
Cornmeal and water makes a poor
feed for ducks in summer. They need
but little grain, but will thrive better
if given coarse, bulky foods, especially
where they are given a good range and
have access to pond.
In blowing an orchard we must re
member that the tree-roots are near the
surface, hence the blowing should be
shallow so as to disturb the roots as lit
tie as possible. Care must also be taken
not to pillow the land in the same direc-
ton every year. Plow as early in the
spring as possible.
As q rule the safest plan is to market
onions as soon as they are ripe. that is
if fair price can be realized on them.
With any crop there is always more OF
less risk of loss, and unless there are
good reasons for expecting consider.
able advance in prices the better plan
is to market when ripe
While great majority of farmers
gain such success as affords abundance
for mans enjoyment, there are those
who for the capital invested, make
their business pay as well, or better,
than those engaged in any other bust
ness or ind uStrV and establish a reDu.
tation and credit unquestioned in bust
ness circles.
Every thing that is of value to the soil
should be turned under, and while there
may not be any considerable amount
of fertilizer in dry weeds, grass OF
stalks, yet they are of value mechanic
ally in keeping life in the soil, keeping
it from running together SO much and
baking so hard And for this reason it
is not best to burn or destroy anything
that can be an advantage to the soil by
blowing under. r-s.'.
The fall garden is too much neglect
ed. AS much care should be given it as
to the early spring garden, and it will
give even better returns for the time
and labor employed. It can be made
while labor is plenty. after the rush of
the early work is over, and should be
planted with quick maturing vegetables
and handled just as the earlier garden
was The crops will come in just at a
time when vegetables are getting scarce
and will give a welcome addition to the
table, or will prove profitable if handled
for market Early peas, six weeks
beans, lettuce, beets and radishes should
be the principal items

The successful farmer is not a chronic
grumbler. He does not sing the lullaby
of hard times to justify his ineficiency
in the discharge of duty, but bravely
meets and overcomes every obstacle
with a cheerful but reliant effort.

ROMANCE OF A SILVER DOLLAR.
1t Contained the Portrait of q Prominent
Mans Wife.

Mans Wife.
A Buffalo man in buying some arti-
cles recently received in his change a
silver dollar. Something in the way
the piece struck the counter att racted
his attention, and he rung it second
time. He looked closely at it The
face of the goddess upon it looked up
at him with the most honest eyes in the
world. Then he called the shopkeep-
er's attention to the way it struck the
wood It sounded like lead, but it
surely looked like silver. He finally
pocketed the piece, but went on pom
dering about the strange contradiction
in its sound and its look. A few hours
afterward he happened to be in a bank.
and, drawing the dollar out of his
pocket, he asked one of the clerks to
look at it. He, too, acknowledged the
queerness of the coin. but could not
explain it. Another clerk came up,
and still another, and had spin at it.
Suddenly, in the midst of the investiga-
ton, the face of the dollar sprang up
like the lid of locket, and inside ap-
peared the face of a pretty woman.
Here was a bit of romance sure
enough! One of the clerks instantly
recognized the face as that of the
young wife of a prominent man. to
whom a note was dispatched asking
him to come down and get back his
picture-dollar by exchanging a solid
one for it. 1t is, perhaps, needless to
say that he went at once, and that his
anxiety to keep the matter from his
wife's ears was not regarded--N Y.

DECLARED OFF.

MI. Powdery Issues Order With Refer

ers' Alliance Convention.
New YORK, July 11.-Genera1 Master
Workman Powderly issued a special
circular to all local assemblies of the
Knights of Labor, declaring off for
the present the proposed industrial
conference, which was to have
been held on July 90, to take up the
platform of the Farmers Alliance and
join hands with the third party. The
call of this conference has met with so
little response that Mr.. Powderly
deems it wise to take this step.

LYING IN COURT.
The Startling Statement OF an English

The Startling Statement OF an English
Judge.
A few months ago a judge in an En-
glish county court who had held judi
cial appointment in India, made the
startling statement that he believed
that in his English court he had heard
as much lying as in his court at Alfalfa
bad. That, 1 say. was startling state
ment The judge who made it was not
a man to speak rashly. He would
probably, quality his statement by adj
hitting that among the people who ap-
pear in his English court regard for
truthfulness is much less general than
among other classes of the English
people, and that men lie about money
who would lie about nothing else.
But take it with whatever. qualities
tons and attachments yon please it ex-
cites anxiety and alarm.
When Chunder Sen was In England
had an interesting conversation with
him about the moral condition of his
countrymen, and he said that in his
judgment the morality of India was,
on the whole equal to thatof England
It had not been my intention to invite
the comparison, nor did care to pur-
sue it into detail; but I asked him
whether he thought that, on the whole,
and taking the whole population of
both countries, this held good in rela-
ton to truthfulness. He admitted at
once that good Hindu might think it
a duty to tell lie in order to assist a
friend. Kindness and mutual helpful
ness both rank before truthfulness.-

A FEELING OF CONSERVATISM.

Dun & Co ON the Tired Feeling That Seems
to Have Possessed the Business Com
munity.
NEW York, July 1L-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade. will say:
The feeling of conservatism which pre-
walls in all sections and branches Of
business impresses many as a most dis
heartening symptom. But it may with
at least equal reason be interpreted as
the very best ground for con-
fdence in a healthy and solid inn
provement when new and large crops
come forward more freely. The alb
sence of speculative excitement, the in
disposition to buy in haste, are having
a most wholesome influence. Prices of
materials and products are thus kept in
such a relation that large and fairly
profitable business is possible, but that
will be based when it comes upon the
actual demands of consumers and not
upon inflated hopes, This conservative
attitude is the more necessary this year
because while money is abundant here
and cheap on call, the possibility of
disturbance abroad or of difficulty in
obtaining needed supplies for moving
crops at the west is not yet entirely re-
moved.

Can Not Keep Out Chinese.

WASHINGTON, July 1I-During the
last congress a resolution was passed
instructing the president to negotiate
with Mexico and Great Britain to pre-
vent the entry of Chinese laborers into
the United States From the diplo-
matte correspondence just published it
appears that while Great Britain re-
ceived the proposition favorably and
referred it to the Canadian government,
the Mexican government was unable to
cooperate for the reason that an article
in the Mexican constitution guarantees
every man right to enter and go out
of the republic without passports.

He was pointed to large fiat rock
near by and told to sit on it. The cap

pare for death. He walked with firm
step. took his seat on the rock with his

ASTONIsHED OFFICIALS.

The Dismissal of the Libel Against the
Robert and Minnie VIII Probably Let Out
the Itata.
WASHINGTON, July S.-The decision
of Judge Ross court, dismissing the
libel against the schooner Robert and
Minnie, which vessel supplied the arms
to the Itata, was great surprise to Of
fcials in Washington. 1t was general
ly believed that the case against her
was much stronger than that which
could be made out against the Itata,
and, notwithstanding the reserva-
ton made by Judge Ross in his de-
cision, it is felt that his action will
cause the failure of the original libel
lodged against the Gillian vessel al
though she may still be held on some
technical charge connected with her
escape while under legal detention.
This outcome would be severe disap-
pointment to the state and naval depart
ment officials after an expenditure,
direct and indirect, in the chase Of the
