FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Husband and wife should be equal part
ners.
Bleaching fruit with sulphur is bad
practice.
When you store tools for the winter
oil them.
Gardening is taught in the common
schools of France.
Provide some succulent food for your
pigs during the winter.
Huskings are in order. So are pump
kin pies and doughnuts.
Lay in a good stock of papers and
magazines for winter reading.
When you mulch small fruits mulch
enough , keep down the weeds.
Build bridges if you like, but don't
break up the roadbed in the fall.
One of the drawbacks of spraying is
that it kills our friends as we'll as our en-
emies.
The more landowners and homesteads
there are in nation the better it is for
the people.
The young man who gets a good agri-
cultural education is going to be in flu
ture demand.
Apply your manure where the roots of
your crop can reach it or it can reach the
roots of the crop.
Not manure but we'll fertilized earth
should be placed next to the roots of
transplanted trees.
If you have but a small farm put your
energies and cash into that and make it
produce as much as most large farms.
Manure when compositing needs water
to make it moist; but care must be taken
that there is not water enough to leach
it.
If cow has sharp horns put wooden
thimbles on the ends of them. The knobs
can be fastened on by pegs run through
both horn and knob.
The wide-awake farmA visits other
farms than his own. When be finds con-
veniences, methods and crops better than
at home it inspires him to greater effort.
Many abandoned farms have been
abandoned because they were too large
to be proftably cultivated. 1t is very
seldom that small farm is abandoned.
A few good emasculated male cats will
be found the most profitable stock the
farmer can keep. One good cat is worth
more than 100 ordinary dogs, and it never
worries sheep.
Ten acres of clover hay, cured as every
farmer can and ought to cure it, is worth
more then twenty acres of the coarse,
woody, unwholsesome stuff we find
everywhere in abundance.
High feeding is one cause of milk few
! er, which is more common than it used
to be. Cows that both feed and milk
heavily ought to be put upon light diet
for some weeks before they come in.
| Growing trees of any kind is growing
crop. Now, if we will use the trees as
we use other crops, giving them good,
rich soil and decent care, we shall act
wisely and likely successfully grow one
! crop of trees.

WINTERING GERANIUMs IN A CELLAR.

! WINTERING GERANIUMs IN A CELLAR.
To keep geraniums we'll during winter,
hung up in the cellar, requires some ex-
thority as Wick, something depends on
the temperature and humidity of the air,
also whether the plants are near the top
or bottom Of the cellar space. Only
actual trial would prove the right place
and the capabilities of each cellar. The
safer way is no doubt to take up the
plants with some soil and set them in
boxes of soil. Some water can be given
to settle the soil about the roots, and
then the plants be allowed to stand
without further attention for several DAYS
or a week to dry off. Let the leaves be-
come yellow. Then shorten in the
branches, taking off at least two thirds
of their length, and then set them away
in the cellar and supply no water during
the winter, unless the soil appear to be
getting dust dry, and in that case give
only enough to moisten it little. A
place only moderately light is best. The
plants should not be allowed to be frosted
before lifting, but if any parts become

sOFT-COAL SCOT VALUABLE FOR FARMERS
SCOT of soft coal is valuable fertilizer
and an effective remedy against many in
sect pests. A large quantity of it is made
every year from the 1000, 900 or 1OO,-
10000 tons of soft coal which is burned
yearly. 1t contains very bitter substance
which repels insects, and has some valu-
able fertilizing properties. An analysis
of it shows it to consist Of twenty Der
cent. of heterogeneous substance, which
affords fifteen per cent. of ammonia,
some phosphate of lime, fifteen per cent
OF carbonate of lime, little sulphate OF
lime, chloride and acetate of potash, and
some magnesia. All these substances
are soluble in water and are useful as
food for plants. But its ammonia is the
most valuable for this use, and, as i:
amounts to more than 800 pounds in the
Ton OF it, it makes the SCOT worth al
leaSt S4S per ton. It's value as an insect,
siae Is worth quite as much money. When

The Moving Time soliIoquy.

To move, or not to move; that Is the question:
Whether tits better another year to suffer
The stingy meannesS of our grasping landlord.
Or to take arms against sea of troubles
And by moving end them? To pack: to move
The sewer gas and thousand vile annoyances
This place is heir tots a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To pack, to move;
To move, to a worse place perchance; ay,
there's the rub;
For in that move what woes may come
When we have left this dear old fiat,
Must give US pause; there is the fear
That makes calamity of so long lease;
For who would bear the sights and sounds and
smells,
The dirty halls, the janitor's contumely,
The wild tin pan piano just next door,
The neighbors' children shrieking night and
day,
The trombone player in the room above,
And all the temper trying nuisances,
When he might pack his goods and skip
With strong drayman. Who would ever live
In this rundown, diapidated fat,
But that the dread of something even worse,
The undiscovered woes we're sure to find
After lease is signed, puzzles US still
And makes US rather keep the fiat we have
Than fly to landlords that we know not of?
Thus experience does make towards of us all,
And thus the mad, rash VOWS OF other times
Are sicklied DER when moving day arrives,
And then the perfect home we swore we'd rent
We quite forget and in the same old fat
Remain another year.

About this time Ex-Governor Morgan, OF
New York, saw the Hiawatha, and was so
struck with its graces that he ordered il
cut in marble. Ex-Governor Morgan
proved one of St. Gaudens' warmest
friends 1t was owing to his efforts that
the artist received the commission for the
statue of Farragut which stands in Madi
son square, New York. This monument
which is regarded as one of the finest and
most artistic in the world, made young
St. Gaudens famous.
His other great works are the bronze
statue of Lincoln in Lincoln park, Chi
cago, and ''The Puritan" in commemora
tion of Deacon Chaplin, the founder ol
Springfield, Mass. His last work was re

THE STATUE OF SHERMAN.
Augustus st. Gaudens Chosen AS the
sculptor-A Successful Career.

Augustus st. Gaudens Chosen as the
sculptor--A Successful Career.
The commission for the equestrian statue
of the late General Sherman has been given
to Augustus ST. Gaudens For ten years
St. Gaudens has occupied front rank
among sculptors. Besides, he WAS an earn
est admirer of General Sherman in life'
and will doubtless throw his whole heart
and soul into the work His famous Dust
of the dead hero was made after sixty two
sittings of an hour each. He believes that
he knew and appreciated General Sherman
thoroughly when l come to make the
statue of him." he said short time ago,
"T feel that it will bring out the best that
is in me, and that | will display power that
have not hitherto shown. 1t will be the
last equestrian statue shall ever make"
ST. Gaudens was born in Dublin forty
two years ago, his father being French
man and his mother an Irish woman. He
came to America with his parents when
but six weeks old. The family was very
poor, and St. Gaudens underwent many
hardships in his younger days. AT the age
of thirteen he was apprenticed to a cameo
cutter, and began to study art at the New
York Cooper institute in the evenings.
When nineteen his father, who had saved
hard for the purpose, sent him abroad TO
perfect himself in cameo cutting Young
St. Gaudens decided to become an artist,
however, and entered the atelier of Jouf-
fray at Paris In order to support himself
he worked half a day at cameo cutting
and devoted the other half, as well as his
evenings, to modelling.
He went to Rome upon the breaking out
of the Franco Prussian, war and opened a
studio, still maintaining himself by cameo
cutting. His first work was nude Hia-
watha This caught the eye of Montgom-
cry Gibbs, rich American, who ordered
the figure cast in plaster. Through the in
huence of Mr.. Gibbs the young sculptor
received a commission to make bust of
William NJ. Evarts, who was at Geneva as
member of the arbitration commission.
