FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Tomatoes should not grow too much
vine.
Potatoes should be kept in the coolest
and darkest place possible.
L~ow-growing vegetables may be cul-
tivated between berry bushes.
The wool from well fed sheep is much
better than from half-starved ones.
When ~transplanting, have the roots
straight and in their natural position.
There is no profit in letting bees
make wax. Honey is what is wanted,
not wax
Tomato leaves are also said to make a
good insecticide If stepped in water and
sprinkled over plants.
Poorly kept sheep will not make the
owner rich, nor do much towards build
ing up the fertility of the soil.
The wood queen-excluders do not
seem to take much. The bees enlarge
the cuts aud the queens go above.
If the weeds have started up in the
wheat fields in many cases 1t will be
found a good plan to turn in the sheep.
If the fowls get too fat give them
some grain not rich in carbo- hydrates.
Oats as a single food will tend to lessen
the fat.
See that the poultry exhibited at the
fairs have airy coops. II they are neat
and uniform in size the display will show
off better.
Excelsior - the material used by
upholsterers-is said to be an excellent
thing for beekeepers. When ignited it
makes a dense smoke.
/ If you have late Matched turkeys it
will be well to see that they do not get
into the grass until the dew is of even
though the sun is bright.
The cause of the death of bees in a
hive is quite often due to starvation.
And what may seem worse, the owner of
the apiary rarely knows the cause.
In shipping poultry do not crowd the
coops too full. Besides the sufferings
caused the fowls, the death of two or
three will take off the expected profits
and cause disappointment.

when slightly ridged or hilled they can

If the garden is we'll planned, three
crops can be secured in one season, but

woman's dispensing food to her house.
hold. English women nearly always
carve, but in this country the work is al.
most invariably relagated to the men.
To save strength, time and patience in
carving it is absolutely necessary to have
a sharp knife. AS a general rule cut
across the grain. A turkey should be
placed with the head toward the right
hand of the carver. The breast is
generally cut in slices parallel with the
b~reastbone; but if the turkey is large,
first cut the wings off close to the body
ard then cut across.
A good way to keep a knife perfectly
sharp, and make your husband think
you give him the tenderest of Joints, is
to use a "riae," such as the farmers
sharpen their scythes upon. A few turns
on this will give an edge that will cut
through anything.-New York Tribune.

Wonderful Blades.

The most wonderful weapons in his
tory, uniting miraculous sharpness with
wonderful elasticity, are undoubtedly
the blades of Damascus.
The sabre of japan, though as hard as
a diamond, with an edge so acute that
it will go through a pillow or a poker
as if it were air, cannot compete with
the old Syrian swords, because it has no
elasticity. This elasticity is not alto
gether a lost art, as to-day one may see
in Toledo, Spain, blades packed in coils
like watch springs.
Swords have been made during the
present century in Russia that rivsled in
edge and bending qualities the famous
Damascus blades. At the imperial fac
tory of Z~iatoust, IN the Ursls, some have
been turned out which bend till the
point touches the hilt, and which would
also cut through an iron bar. More than
this no blads has ever done, or can do.

PURsLANE LOVERS,

The purslane weed is of some use, il
it is a nuisance of the farm. The hogs
are especially fond Of it, and as it is
good for them there is no reason why the
weed should not be given to them. All
farmers are more or less acquainted with
the weed and know full well how it
thrivcs. When they are killing the
weeds, and if it can be done without
danger to crops, let the hogs have the
run OF the field. Then watch and see
what a perfect picnic the porkers will
have.
If it is not possible to give the pigs
the u of the fields gather all the weeds
possible and throw it to them. We
know of a farmer who makes it a prac.
tce to so every morning and pull a good
amount of the weeds for the pigs. He
claims that in the morning is the best
time to give them this food, and says
they enjoy it more. But we think the
time of day to give the pigs the weeds
is immaterial, and the best time is when
you think YOU have enough weeds COL
lected for them.-American Farmer.

SALT MAKES MORE MILE.

II is being reported as something new
that the giving Of salt to COWS has the
effect of increasing the yield OF milk.
There is nothing new in this except to
these persons who are beginners in the
business of keeping cows, OF who do not
read a paper in which any information
on this subject is regularly given. 1t is
q very simple matter. Milk is made only
from the food that is digested. If the
food is not di ested, not only is there a
loss Of material of which milk may be
mace, but the COW does not feel well.
Both these are conducive TO a decrease
Of the milk. But when a COW is regu.
larry supplied with salt, not only is she
satisfied with this qualification of her
tastes aud inclinstions, but the digestion
Of the food is perfect, and he result is
that the milk yield Is up to the highest
point. The digestive fluid consists in
part OF a h%ydroehloric acid, OF which salt
is partly made up, and thus this iudis-
pensable agent OF digestion is supplied
TO the COWS. Salt is thus as much a food

il should be given to all animals that do
not live wholly on animal food, and in
proportion TO the amount of vegetable
food they consume. The staple supply
determined upon by experts is two
ounces for a COW, one ounce for a horse,
a dram for a sheep per day, aud a small
quantity at intervals of a few days for
swine aud poultry. The quantity given
to a COW is for the reason that she gives
milk which contains salt, and thus needs
more than a horse, but a mare that is
nursing a foal should have an increased
allowance, although this is rarely thought
of.-American Dairyman.

1t is not good policy to trust wholly to

pose and placed where it will be Access

small fruits. This record will not only
be an aid to the n who plants them,

would hardly be eItravagant to say that
our magnificent City Hall was constructed
for appearance sake. DIR. FRANKLIN once
said that he dressed to please not himself
but his neighbors. So we suppose we might
say as TO the reasons which influenced
many of us to favor the erection of new
city hall iof which we could all boast as
adjoining our city where she needed adorn-
tng-that we favored its erection to please
no. ourselves but our visitors. The an
nual interest on the sum which the City
Hall cost would equal, perhaps, half the
bum which the friends OF al electric plant
owned by the city wish to expend upon
such a plant at present. Suppose the
water-works or gas-works had been made
TO give way TO a new city hall. However,
this is hardly a.supposable case. Suffice
II 10 say that, as we are rich in owning
