FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The very best products Of the farm
have the least competition.
Raspberry plants should be put out as
early as the soil will admit.
In pruning all large wounds should be
covered with white lead and oil.
Plant the garden so as have all Of the
ground occupied during the growing
season.
The improved breeds Of chicks, either
dekin or Rouen, will lay large quantities
of eggs.
Short rations and cold barns for the
stock is one way to make farming un-
profitable.
The meat scraps and potato -peelings
given to the chickens will help to ill the
egg-basket.
If the coop is dry, warm and clean,
your chickens in most cases will be free
from disease.
An animal raised on the farm is always
more valuable than one purchased, and it
does not introduce disease.
The worst objection to geese on the
farm is their liability to trespass upon
the neighbors, often to their disadyant-
aye.

A Minister'S Maneuver.

Frederick \. Atkins tells the following
story as illustrating the tact often dis
played by street preachers. An open-air
preacher was addrc; sing a crowd in the
east end of London, when a drunken
soldier came up and loudly ridiculed the
whole service. Finding that it was use
less to ignore the man, the preacher
quickly decided on his course of action.
"Ah, my friend, you're no soldier; you've
only borrowed those gay red clothes.
No servant of the Queen would get drunk
and interrupt a peaceful service" OF
course the man warmly protested that he
was a soldier, and invited the preacher
to test him. Every well, p" was the re-
ply, 81 will. Now then, stand at case. ="

CLOVER RUST.

OF this disease, which differs from two
other diseases of the red and white
clover of minor Importance, it IS said
that it has not been long known in
in America, but has prevailed to such an
extent during the several wet, cool sea-
sons preceding 1890 in many sections of
the Northern States that it must be re-
garded as one liable to affect seriously
under conditions favorable to its develop
ment this agricultural crop.
In the scientific discussion Of this
parasite which is found in a bulletin of
the Botanical Division of the Agricul-
tuTal Experiment Station of Cornell Uni
versity, while the description of its
different forms and stages will no doubt
be readily understood by botanists aud
mycologists, it will not be so easily COM
pretended by farmers.
AS summary Of the matter, so far as
it has been investigated, it is assuring to
be told First-That the early crop of
red clover is not likely to suffer injury
from the rust. second-As the second
crop is likely to suffer greatly if the mid
summer is cool, and as clover becomes a
valuable fertilizer when plowed in.
the fields should be carefully watched in
such seasons, and the crop might be
plowed under to advantage. Third
Burning the clover fields in the fall
would probably have some effect in
checking the spread of the disease dur
ing the next season, but the application
of fungicides seems impracticable.-

Poultry droppings should be mixed

Yes, they can be and are Not often

abound that multitudes Of presumably ed

Mrs Mollie Hughes, n highly respected
widow lady, living near Cameryille, Ida,
is afflicted with unique and most dis
tressing disease Little by little the flesh
of her entire body is turning to solid bone,
or in other words she is becoming ossiiied.
The disease was first noticed in 1856 when
Mrs. Hughes was Miss Duyelink, OF Car
yon Rapids AT that time only single fin
ger was affected Within a month after
the time when Miss Duychink first no
ticed the numbness and stiffness of the fin
ger it had been accidentally broken off
while she was asleep.
The incident gave the girl no pain, there
being neither blood, nerves or flesh left in
the diseased member. but it excited the
alarm Of the family, who called in a physi-
clan. The broken stump Of the finger WAS
amputated buck TO where the living flesh
set on, and everything'vass thought to be
all right Soou the flesh, MUSCLES, arteries,
veins aud nerves on her hands. fingers and
arms became as hard and fcelingless as the
finger had been before it WAS broken of.
Next the awful nalady extended to the
elbows, the forearms becoming rs white
and clear as alabaster. Within the year
the toes aud the end Of the nose and ear
tips showed like color and rigidness. The
process Of ossincation has now been going
on nearly five years, aud the attending
physicians says that it is only a miltter Of
time when the entire body Of the poor vic.
tim will be a solid bone. Il s. a rare dis
ease. and She pathology Of Il Is little ander.

Tho Most Artistic Dwelling in New YOrl

The Most Artistic Dwelling In New York.
Probably the most artistic as well as

Of ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, on the

the past few years the house has been thor

which is perfectly square, Is decorated in
Louis XVI style, and for the most part is
furnished with articles Of the same period.
Crimson damask silk covers the walls and
curtains Of the same material drape the
windows. The center Of the ceiling is
dome shaped and from thd center hangs
large nlabaster lamp. mounted in gilded
bronze. Among the exquisite articles In
the room is a Louis XIV harp, gilded and
carved, with its sounding board covered
with beautifully painted flowers and mu
steal instruments 1t Is said to be repro
duction Of the harp once owned by Marie
Antoinette
The small drawing room, which is along
side of the larger apartment, is in Louis
XIV style, and in its furniture are seen
three distinct styles in vogue during the
reign Of that monarch Pale silk of Il
greenish gray shade is used to cover the
walls. The silken portieres are an exact
copy in texture, color and pattern Of the
bedroom hangiugs designed by Philippe
de la Sale and presented TO the Dauphin,
afterward Louis XVI, upon his marriage
with the Archduchess Marie Antoinette, by
the city of Lyons. Oriental porcelains,
Chinese enamels and pieces Of rare china
fill the tables and cabinets.

Boys are something TO her besides beaux;
they are good comrades, friends. If they

her overconscious firtatious neighbor.
Her mother dresses the young creature as
becomingly as she can afford, and the boys
know that her taste is modest and correct;
they take pride in Il. too. in a manly kind

In her early childhood this charming girl
played with boys and girls alike; she took
the reins sometimes, driving neighbours

acted the part of a frisky colt In school
she sat with her brother or by the side of a
boy near her own age, who knew that he
was lucky in being seated there. OF beau

beauty is a precious gift of nature, some

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an innamed condition of the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iuAamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condl-
