is THE MOLE A NUISANCE 2

There are many people who consider
moles a nuisance and endeavor in every
way to get rid of them, in the belief that
they destroy vegetables, eat seeds and
planted grains, and in many ways damage
tbercrops, besides making gardens a d
grounds unsighty by their borrowings.
Others, while admitting the undesirable
SHss backgrounds roads, believe
they do more good than harm in the de-
struction of worms, bugs, etc, that
would more injuriously abound were it
not for the moles. A Vineland IN. J.)
correspondent of much experience has
heretofore said in the World that he has
followed their run through potato hills
and road beds of every kind, also among
his strawberries, blackberries, etc., and
has never yet found any injury from
them, and he concludes that they subsist
entirely on worms, bugs and the like that
get into runways, and are therefore
among the farmers and gardeners best
friends. An Ohio correspondent has also
spoken a good word for the moles,
especially on meadow lands. Much other
Testimony of a similar character might be
given. On the contrary, there are per-
sons who assert positively that moles do
eat grain, and recite instances that sus-
tain them in their belief. Upon the
whole, with much conflicting evidence
on the subject, it is deemed safe to say
that the mole is essentially insectiverous
IN its habits, aud unless impelled by
hunger from scarcity of its %favorits food
rarely affects vegetation injuriously.
Dropping castor oil beans in their runs
is said to have the effect of keeping them
away.-NeO York World.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
owls need water in the winter.

Fowls need water in the winter.
Have the team shod well or not at all.
Cover tender shrubs with barrels
stuffed with leaves.
Always breed from a stallion that will
improve your stock.
Onions and fruits keep better in shall
low bins than in heaps.
AS far as possible keep birds of a size
and disposition together.
A few bruised apples will sooner or
later spoil the whole barrel.
If you let the calf become stunted we
shall have a ''stunted cow"
Have you got everything in the best
possible condition for winter
All lilies are benefited by a heavy coat
of leaves held in place with brush.
1t is again announced that you can
breed sex at will with certainty-on
paper.
If more than fifty fowls are kept they
should have more than one homestead or
roost.
A few hens, with the care usually
given, will give more eggs in proportion
than a large number.
Hard work is not so apt to iniure a
horse as the failure to receive proper at
tention after the work.
If the combs should become frosted.
bathing in sweet oil will relieve and pre-
serve the looks somewhat.
1t is the freezing and thawing that is
injurious to pansies and strawberries.
Cover them to prevent this.
For eggs and chicks combined the
Langhans, Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes,
and Brahams are excellent.
The colt raised in a stall or close lot is
apt to be more awkward and soft than
one given to plenty of room.
Never try to keep milk at "A low tenn
perature by keeping the COW in a low
temperature. 1t will not work.
Do not smoke when about the milk and
butter. Customers do not like to take
the aroma of tobacco in that way.
Violets and pansies are heaSed out by
the frost, and need n light covering of
leaves, evergreen boughs or litter.
Do you recommend winter dairying2
asks o correspondent. Yes, if the dairy
man will give it the proper attention.
Mahonias, rhododendrons and yuccas
should be protected with leaves, held in
place by evergreen boughs or fine brush.
Beets, carrots, turnips and parsnips
best be buried in soil in the cellar for
home use. Large quantities may be
pitted.
If there are burrs in your corn-feld or
pasture it won't pay to turn the sheep in
there to pick. 1t will pick the price of
the wool at shearing time.
Hollyhocks should be covered with
sod, set roof-like on each side; or with
a forkful of coarse manure. Beware of
smothering and rotting them.
When COWS fail to breed there may be
a cause that can be removed, but the
only general advice that can be given in
such cases is to keep the system vigor-
Gus.
In raising poultry for profit you must
first consider the surrounding circum-
stances, the amount of capital to invest,
the space of ground to be occupied, and
the amount of help available.
Every dairy ought to be scientifically
conducted or not conducted at all. This
letting a dairy run itself would seem to
indicate that farming was so profitable
that we did not know what to do with
our money.

DON'T LET INDIANS HAVE LIQUOR.

There Essays the Indians Friend. a papel
published by the Women's National Indian
Associations law passed by Congress thai
no intoxicating liquor of any kind shall b,
sold to an Indian, anywhere within the limit
OF the United States land it was not passed
for the benefit Of the Indian either. Thil
law is openly, repeatedly and u~nblushingl,
violated; from its violation there comes /
long line of evils of which the white race get,
its full share. Now we venture to sugges,
that as a precautionary measure it might b,
well to send all sellers of intoxicating liquor,
out of the lands assigned to Indians. The
Indian Bureau in the Northwest is prac
tcally in charge of the War Department
since the recent order of the honorable
Secretary of the Interior: and it would be 2
comparatively easy matter TO carry this Law
into effect. A thorough enforcement of tn,
law would be worth more than II regiment o.

The best form of the upper surface of
the roadway Its cross section), saws the
Auburn (Ala.) Experiment Station bull
letin, is that OF two inclined planes meet
ing in the centre of the road and having
their angles slightly rounded by a curve.
The in~clinatious Of the planes should be
greatest where the surface is rough and
least where it is smoothest and hardest.
On a steep hillside the surface should be
a single slope, inclining inward to the
face OF the hill. A ditch on the side
next TO the Hill receives the surface
water, which should be carried, at
proper intervals, under the road to its
outside. This form is also advantageous
when the road curves rapidly around the

REFRIeERArINe CLOSET For A nA1

REFRreERATINe Closet FOR A DAIRY.
1t is not desirable to cool a dairy by
means of ventilating pipes from an ice
house. The waste of ice costs more
than a cooling tank kept at forty-fv de-
grees by the direct use of ice. With
such a tank, pals twenty inches deep
and eight inches in diameter are used.
But by the newly introduced method of
raising the cream by adding water to the
milk, the use of ice may be dispensed
with, to the great relief Of the dairymen
and families. AS soon as the milk is
strained into the pans, one-third the
quantity of cold water from a well is
added; this causes the complete separa.
ton Of the cream in t~wenty.four hours,
at the expiration of which time the milk
will be sweet in the warmest weather.
In winter the water may be used at a
temperature of 1870 degrees, and if the
milk is kept in any reasonably protected
dairy, it will not freeze in that time in
the coolest weather .-NeD York Times.

STRAWBERRIES PLANTED IN BURROWS.

Gina BhkhlES IN r.
We have never had better success
growing strawberry plants than the past
season, set in furfows. As we have be-
fore advocated, we prepare the land by
fall and spring blowing. Then pillow
burrows with u two-horse pillow, keeping
the landslide as unbroken as possible,
and as fast as a boy straightens out roots
and drops plants a good man places them
against the landslide of the furrow,
holding roots spreading out or face shape
and drawing in a big handful of dirt
against them with the other hand. We
then passed along and scattered well
rotted manure, and then a man followed
with a hoe, drawing in earth and filling
up burrows. The result was nearly
every plant grew, while had they been
set in the old way and carelessly doubled

with a trowel by careless hands a large
