The Terminal System

Again it is reported in New York that
the Richmond and West Point Terminal
System will dsinsegrate, and the great
railways composing the SYSTEM Will &c
run separately. In the last year or two
this system has come into prominence as
che most gigantic combination Of rail
roads in this country. With the excep-
tion of the Louisville Il Nashville and the
Atlantic Coast Line, the Terminal has Sc
cured control eff almost every railroad in
the South of any Importance, There is
only one other system of roads in the
eountry-the Atchison, that approaches
the Terminal in magnitude.
With deep water terminal facilities at
West Point aud Savannah, and its eight
thousand miles Of railroad reaching al
most every important city in the South, it
looks as if the Terminal ought to have
been able to maintain itself, but if the
reports are true, its bulkincss has proved
tie ruin

Eckstein Norton will probably be elected
President under the new management,
and it is thought in the future the roads
will be run separately.
This change Of management has been
brought about by the inability of the

To Subdue Weeds,

One important point in keeping a
farm clear from weeds is to see that
these germs age not imported in
purchased seeds. Weeds are often
introduced by the farmers own
animals. Horses that have been fed
at the town stables and cattle that
have been allowed to forage on the
highways, may each be the means Of
bringing obnoxious weeds onto the
farm. For the hoed crops clean culti-
walton is the antidote. Cut the weeds
off at the surface of the ground at a
time when they are at their best
that is when they are Towering, and
before the seed has grown sufficient to
terminate. This is the best method
Of dealing with seeds after they have
become a pest in meadows and pas
lures. In the latter sheep are very
efficient weed destroyers, as they will
browse closely many varieties that
cattle will not touch. In some coun-
tries it is said that there are fields
entirely free from weeds, owing to very
high cultivation and careful selection
of seeds and manures. Such results

HINTS 70 WOMEN ABOUT NOTES
An English Custom That Might Be
Followed With Great Profit.

Followed With Great Profit
From the manner to the matter of
notes is a short step. In this respect
American women can learn several
good points from their English cous-
ms, their Old World cousins, indeed,
for both German and French women
are equally with the English-woman
skilled in the art of te-writing. In
polite society notes are a valuable
current coma courteous, tactful-
note often steering it's writer safely
over a threatening rock. On the 9TH
er hand, it is easy to place too much
dependence upon these paper messen-
gers-a fault which some young wom-
en- of the moment seem likely to fall
into.
Said one young girl, meeting anoth-
er in a friends parlor the other day:
"Mrs. T. feels quite hurt that you did
not call on her niece.' ~
tsDoes> she?" was the careless reply.
~ must write her a note smoothing it
over"
Almost with the same breath the
first speaker remarked further: :.Mr.
= was at the house last evening; he
spoke about your having so prettily
explained about the tennis fasco."
Goodness, calculated the other,
"what an escape! lhad forgotten en-
tirely wrote to him of that matter.
It was on my mind to go home today
and send him an especially fetching
note Now, I dimly recall having
done So"
Here, evidently, was a young woman
who wrote notes recklessly, and, it is
to be feared, unscrupulously, through
which practice she will be apt to come
to grief some time.
To an English woman OF any posi-
ton her correspondence is one of her
most serious duties. She spends a
certain portion of every day at her
desk, and she would as soon think of
not responding to a. friends greeting
as emitting to answer promptly and
carefully a friends letter, or, indeed,
any addressed to her from friend or
stranger.-N. Y. Times.

Where they serve no better use, they

covered with useful plants it is quite
certain to produce weeds. Nothing
surpasses clover for mothering weeds,

from it after the moving, SO that
some of the seed from the second crop
will be scattered, it will gain complete
possession of the field to the exclusion
of the weeds-New York World.

Dairy Cleanliness.

The subject of dairy cleanliness is a
most comprehensive one and goes way
back to the nature of the food and
drink taken into the stomach of the
COWS. No matter how careful in all
subsequent processes, if you allow the
COW to pasture at the m anure pile and
to drink from barn-yard pools, you
will not make pure, clean butter.
Purity OF food and water are strictly
essential, and so is the bodily cleanli-
ness Of the COWS. See to it that they
have plenty of clean, fresh bedding.

To Wool Growers,

It Is we'll known fact that wool
buyers annually sustain more or less
loss on their purchases, owing to the
improper handling of wool by grow
ers. It is claimed that after a season
like the past, when final results have
not been satisfactory, buyers, when
entering the new clip will do so pre-
pared to use unusual discretion in
making their selections; and that the
best results may be realized and the
trade started on a satisfactory basis
the following suggestions to sheep
growers are recommended: -....-
The sheep should be housed during
storms, regularly fed and watered, the
weak ones especially cared for, the
short stapIed ones marked at shear
ing time, fattened and sold. They
should be kept from plowed ground,
burrs, wild oats, chaff, and be well
tagged before shearing, so that in
time the entire flock would grow long,
strong and most valuable wool at all
times and in all markets. Each
fleece should be tied by itself, inside
out, with two strings each way and
with regular wool Irvine. Wool never
looks as we'll nor weighs as much as
when first taken off the sheep, when it
should be put on to the market and
it's best price realized. In shipping,
mark a, number and the weight on
each sack and send list of them.
This will help to trace any errors or
losses in case any should occur

About Onions,

The growing of onion sets is often
very profitable branch Of gardening,
and may be pursued with equal sue
cess on either a large Or small scale, as
they can always be marketed readily
in any quantity. There are two ways
in which the sets may be produced,
and two distinct kinds OF onions are
used in the process. One is from seeds
of ordinary kinds OF onions sown very
thick, causing them to crowd each
other and mature early. This is as
sisted by pulling up the young plants,
laying them on the ground so that the
top or green part will die away, and
thus leaving a small perfect onion,
such as is used for picking, These
small bulbs, if planted again the fol-
lowing spring, will grow on and form
onions just as if raised from the seed.
A large portion ofonion sets, however,
is the product of the top" or ''tree
onion" The onion has the singular
property OF producing at the top OF
its flower stalk, instead of seed, a
mass OF small onions that are saved
and used for sets. This sort is hardy
enough to stand out of doors all win
ter, and is the kind mostly used by
market gardeners for young green
onions in the spring. This is seldom
used for the main crop, as it does not
form SO perfect a bulb as the other

How to Form a Perfect Hedge.

10 have hedge do it's best, whether
deciduous or evergreen, it should be
pruned twice a. season. The first
pruning should be done before growth
has stopped, the second about the
close of summer, after the length of
growth has been completed for the
season. On the method Joseph Nee
han writes as follows in Practical
Farmer: A hedge to be perfect must
be broader at the base than at any
other part. Summer pruning. that's,
the first one, is mainly to thicken the
hedge and strengthen the base. To do
this, the top and most of the upper
branches are clipped off then, while
in an old hedge, and not at all in a
young one in which the shape
has not been we'll formed. As
soon as the tops are cut away
the sap flows to those remaining,
greatly invi gorating them. In old
hedges where shape and business have
already been attained, the whole of
the hedge may be trimmed back to
thicken it, but let the severest cutting
be at the top. For every branch cut
off half dozen new ones form,s so that
in time the hedge becomes so dense
that a bird can hardly fly through it.
After the first cutting there will be
more growth made, and this is allow
ed to grow on aslong as it will. When
all growth has stopped, which will be
in SeDtenber in the middle states tha
hedge is gone over again, and cut clean
into good shape, which should
neither be too round nor too pointed.
In connection with this it may besaid
here that single trees should be prur-
ed in the same way the hedge is.
Business comes from stopping the
leading shoots before they are done
growing. Pruning in winter acts the
other way, encouraging an extra
strong top growth. - s.-.

to the Farmer.
Uneasy Farmers.

No wonder there are many uneasy
farmers, says Geo. A. Stockwell,
Rhode Island, in the American Agri-
culturalist- Fhe times are mending
a little, but they have been hard, and
methods and opportunities OF ad-
vancement have changed. Those &C.
quainted with the circumstances must
sympathize and even applaud the
farmer in his discomfort, for discomfort
OF the right kind, well founded, may
be the stepping stone to something
better. When the farm yields only a
bare living and taxes, then the farmer
is dissatisfied, and he has cause, for
no man of spirit in this age of the
world is contented with living In
this fact is found one clue to the
abandonment OF a. large number of
farms in Maine and Vermont. But it
must be admitted that it is serious
matter to quarrel with a "dead sure"
living, scant as it may be. Discon-
tent leads to restlessness, and to I'M
wise forsaking OF what is in hand.
Every year in some, if not in many,
parts of the east, the "western fever
RACES and claims it's victims. Hasty
mlgratiOns have been made to some
supposed land of promise in the west,
and the result in many cases was
disastrous.
Standing upon the rolling prairie,
the richest land of this continent,
where the prairie rolled on to high
hill, the writer has had pointed out to
him - abandoned farms, and he has
also seen on this prairie land more
poverty, discomfort, discomfort than
can be found in an agricultural area
OF the same extent in New England, or
any part of the east. 1t could not be
worse anywhere. But the prairie was
not to blame. It was theresult of un-
wise emigration. Perhaps the settlers
were deceived; at all events they found
the conditions different, foreign to
their ideas and methods, and disap-
pointed, broken, gave up. This fact
cannot be disputed, namely, that a
living on New England farm, poor
as it may be is much more than a mere
living to the same man on the prairie,
unless he has capital to help him; and
a bare living on the prairie, obtained
from the prairie, is the nearest to
nothing that ever man had to contend
with. The prairie buds and blossoms
like a garden, but not without help.
Therefore, let every farmer who can
command a living, scant though it
may be, cling to it, think twice hun
dred times before he abandOns it.
