FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

When turkeys are first hatched they
need little feed often rather than large
feeds occasionally.
The farmer must know the cost as we'll
as the selling price of his farm products
before he can tell the profit.
Raising u good crop is no sign of a
good farmer until you have figured out
where the cost line is located.
A Tablespoonful glaubers salts dis
solved in water is recommended as a
good cure for cholera among fowls.
The farmers who make the best success
in farming are those who make the best
use of manures and other fertilizers
Food has changed the quality of our
breeds in body aud production. 1t has
much to do with the success of breeding.
We must fix the qualities of breed
by inbrecding; but weak animals should
not be inbred nor those with the same
defects.
An extremely wet season will have the
effect of calling the attention of farmers
whose farms are wet to the necessity of
draining with tile.
Foot rot in sheep can be partially pre-
vented by keeping the sheep away from
wet pastures, but the rot also attacks
sheep on dry locations.
Hens that are two years old and are
not good layers had better be fattened
aud marketed as soon as possible; they
are an expense and return no income.
Try a soiling crop of some kind. It
will be found of great assistance in feed
ing cattle and hogs. Peas and oats make
an excellent crop for an early supply.
Broken grain, like cracked wheat or
corn, millet seed, or something of this
kind, is better and healthier for young
chickens than cornmeal or wheat mid
dlings.
Land that has produced crop has lost
portion of its fertility. This fertility
must not only be restored in some man
ner, but the soil should be made richer
than before.
IT is difficult to secure a good lawn
grass sod among the shade trees Of a
lawn, as the trees will draw on the land
for plant food to the detriment of the
grass, even if the land is not shaded.
For apple scab, Professor Golf says the
best preventive is ammoniacal carbonate
of copper, one ounce of carbonate of cop
per dissolved in one quart of ammonia,
diluted with ninety parts of water, and
spraying the tree and fruit with it before
the scab is too far advanced.
Corn is benefited by all kinds of man
ure. The roots extend quite distance
and feed over the whole of the surface.
It is crop that assists in cleaning the
soil of weeds, owing to the frequent cul-
tivation required, and it thrlves best
when the young plants are given good
start.
1t IS always profitable for the farmer I'd
have good flock Of fowls on tn. place,
but with these just as with any ether live
stock it is the best sort that pays best.
Blooded fowls and blooded cattle arc all
in the same line and one will pay as we'll
in proportion for the increased cost as

THE WAY TO IMPROVE DAIRY STOCK

THE WAY TO IMPROVE DAIRY STOCK.
To advise dairymen to raise the heifer
calves from their best COWS and thus try
to make steady improvement in the
quality of their dairy stock is always in
order. Though not universally followed
by this class, we think that the great
majority of the best and most successful
dairymen adopt this course. But there
are times when, though their intentions
are all right, they can accomplish but
little in this direction. Their best COWS
persist in dropping bull calves, and so
the theory in which they would like to
work out cannot be followed. A report
comes from town in one of the Western
dairy districts, in which out of twenty
seven calves dropped only five were
heifers, and in other herds in the vicinity
there has been only about the same pro-
portion. This is discouraging to those
who want to raise heifers, but until some
method of controlling sex is discovered
there will occasionally be reasons in which
such uutoward conditions will prevail

IT RUINS THE RODY.

The following extract from the Diocesan
Record touches question OF great import
ance to the cause of temperance, that is the
physical effect Of alcohol on the human
system.
In the first place, how, or in what manner
do you think you are benefited by this drink?
Well, you will say it has an exhilarating
but, mark, it is for the moment And how
is this stimulating effect produced? And Is
it conducive to mans general health!
There are certain properties in this intoxi-
eating LIQUOR which will heat the blood,
thereby causing its more rapid circulation,
and consequent heating of the body. But
besides those properties, it also contains
others which act upon the brain and nervous
system, and thereby produce this buoyancy
Of spirit.
But it is q well-known fact that stimulants
of whatever kind, when taken often, have,
by appropriating the proper and natural
stomach, lethargic effect upon this organ.
The more stimulants we take the more
lethargic the stomach becomes, and the more
necessary it is for US to take them, till at
length the stomach refuses to digest any food
without the aid of its former assistants.
But the stomach is not the only organ
whose power is lessened or impaired by the
use of stimulants or Intoxicating liquor.
The nervous system becomes so weak and
shattered that the slightest shock completely
prostrates the victim. The small veins by
which circulation with the brain is carried
OIL, become so inflated by the rapid circula-
ton of the blood consequent on the taking OF
the liquor, that the patient can never be
treated for certain diseases, i. e., the cura-
tive or amelioratiye medicines cannot be
administered without endangering the life of
the patient. In fact it is seldom or never at
tempted: because the only effective medicine
that could be administered would cause such
q rush of blood toward the brain, as would
cause the already too-inaated veins to burst,
and consequently caus" the immediate death
of the person.
1t is, therefore, apparent that intemper-
arce has an enervating effect upon the body,
that its apparent exhilarating effects are but
transient, and create corresponding de-
preston of spirits afterward that it consid-
erably impairs the digestive organs of the
stomach; that it weakens the nerves; and
finally, that it brings the habitual user to
such state, that the taking OF certain dis
eases means to him inevitable death.

CELERY CULTURE.

In reply to the inquiry of the Nebraska
subscriber who asks how to plant and
cultivate celery we give the following:
Sow in the open ground as soon as it is
fit to work in April, and keep clear Of
weeds until the time of planting, in June
and July. The tops should he shorn off
once or twice before planting, so as to
insure ''stocky' plants, which suffer less
on being transplarted.
Plant in roy three feet apart for the
dwarf varieties, and four to five feet for
the larger sorts, and set six inches apart
in rows.
If tie weather is dry at the time Of
planting great care should be taken that
roots arc properly i'irmed" by pressing
the side of each plant gently with the
foot; this compacts the soil and partially
excludes the air from the roots until new
rootlets are formed, which will usually
be in for:y-eight hours, after which all
danger is over. After the planting of
tho celery is completed, nothing further
is to be done for six or seven weeks, eK-
ccpt running through between the rows
with the cultivator or hoe, and freeing
the plants from weeds.
About the middle Of August we begin
the " earthing-up," necessary for the
blarching and whitening of that which
is wanted for use during the months of
September, October aad November. The
first operation is that of "handling."
After all the soil has been drawn up
against the plant with the hoe, it is
further drawn close around each plant by
le hand, firm enough to keep the leaves
an upright position and prevent them
rom spreading. This being done, more
soil is drawn against the row (either by
ne p!oW Or hoe, as circumstances re.

A wIEF,S JSFI,JTr ScE

The death of Mrs. John B. Cough, widow
of the great temperance lecturer, brings out
the fact that at the time she received his
proposal CT marriage most Of her own
friends and some of his advised her strongly
against accepting it. as grave doubts were
entertained as to his ability permanently to
overcome his drinking habits. She was
school teacher at the time, accomplished and
we'll situated. But she took the ris', and
Cough af.erward declared that she was the
making of him.-Nc,U York Tribune.

TEMPERANCE.
IT'S THAT, THAT PCZZLEs NE,

II THAT, THAT Fl 11LEb ME-
I'm not surprised, 'mong workingmen
Truths so misunderstood
That they imagine, now and then,
A glass will do them good;
But when 'mong men of mind and thought
look around and see
The very self same blunder taught,
It's that, that puzzles me.
I'm not surprised that men who're lost
To all ennohling life
Should drink, despite the fearful cost
This cause of so much strife;
But how good men who preach His mama
Mankind from sin to free,
Can drink this cup of sin and shame,
It's that, that puzzles me.

FOWLS TALK.

Very tame hens often show desire to
talk to you, and it is usually possible to
understand their meaning. Once Co.
chin, whose years and breeding entitled
her to separate perch, came aud stood
in front of me, looked Inc full in the
face and complained loudly Of something
l could not translate further. Patient
investigation revealed that one end of
her perch had slipped down, and Mrs.
Buff had no idea of sleeping on an in
clined perch. Another time a nervous
little Leghorn met me at the henhouse
door fairly screaming and jumping with
excitement. l understood, from the
cackle which finished each sentence, that
she had been disturbed on her nest. I
did not wonder at her new powers of
cackling when I found the nest occupied
by my cat and three small kittens.
When the chickens first begiu to move
in the egg, just before Matching, the
mother hen sings to them q low Groom
ing song, very sweet and never heard at
any other time. A friend tells me that
her canary startled her one day by an en-
tirely new call. 1t was so plainly "Come
here, quick" that she hurried to the
cage to find an enormous cat with its
face pressed against the window pane
staring in at poor Ned-a danger sufi-
ciently great to account for the new call.
There are but two ways by which one
can hear ANIMALS converse. One is by
fastening to them when they are not
aware of your presence, always difficult
feat. The other is by winning their en-
tire Coleman's R,ual World.

BENuMBED WITH DRUNKENNESS.

A Cincinnati judge says of men who drink
from twenty to fifty glasses Of beer per day
and still apparently keep their heads:
"They are simply benumbed with drunken
ness, even though they can talk and work,
and are in no sense responsible to the law as
adults. / could not hold such a man respon-
sible any more than if he had been proven
idiotic or crazy" The public must look out
for itself,

Bears and Telegraph Poles.

It is said that every telegraph pole in
the remote country districts of Norway
has to be continually watched on ac-
count of the bears. These animals have
mania for climbing the poles and sitting
on the cross beams, swaying backward
and forward until the pole finally falls.

quire), so as to keep the plant in this up
right position.
The blanching process must, however,
be finished by the spade, which is done
by digging the soil from between the
two rows, and banking it clear up to the
top on each side of the row of celery

Much of the olive oil exported from
France is adultcrated with different
seed and. nut oils. At least seven or
eight Of the seed products are SO en-
ployed. The French farmers and the
agricultural stations are doing what they
can to remedy this. as growers of olives
are being seriously injured by these
cheap mixtures.

What is lacking is truth
and confidence.
If there were absolute truth
on the one hand and absolute
confidence on the other, it
wouldn't be necessary for the
makers of DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy to back up a plain
statement of fact by a $500
guarantee.
They say-"If we can't
cure you (make it personal,
please of catarrh in the head,
in any form or stage, we'll pay
you $500 for your trouble in
making the trial."
"An advertising fake," you
say.
Funny, isn't it, how some
people prefer sickness to
health when the remedy is
positive and the guarantee
absolute.

back of fakes"
