FACTS FOR FARMERS.

THERE is more mineral water in
clover than in corn. but bran is rich in
minerals.
RYE will produce the first early
green food for the animals, but it must
be used with caution or it may cause
scours.
Do NOT place your reliance on
one crop as it may meet an unfavora-
BILE season. A diversity of crops is the
sureSt method.
THE commercial ground meat is an
excellent food for laying hens. Hens
require animal food when laying. and
they will also relish clover that has
been finely cut and sca!ded
THE poultry yard should have peach
trees planted in it this spring. not only
to afford shade to the fowls when the
trees are larger, but because the fowls
will greatly aid in protecting the young
trees from insects.
FLOORS of pig pens should be raised
up from the ground high enough to
allow a cat to go under, in order to
prevent the sly from becoming a har-
boring place for rats, or the floor and
yard should be underlaid with half
inch wire netting.
IN warming the cream up to the
churning temperature it should be we'll
stirred before it is tested with the
ermometer, for cream conducts heat
very slowly, and while one part of it
might be just the right temperature
the rest might be too cold.
IF lime is to be supplied during the
spring the application should be made
as early as possible. 1t should be air.
slaked, and in as fine condition as pos
sible. 1t benefits both light and heavy
soils, and from twenty to forty bushels
per acre may be used.
LINsEED meal or cotton-s meal,
added to the rations. may Supply de-
ficiency in the food. 1t is cheap and
may be safely used. 1t is an old
maxim that all sums expended in lin
seed meal come back again in the
manure, and there is much truth in it.
THE Country Gentleman says an Al.
bany county farmer placed on each
bale of hay shipped the information
that it was grown on gravelly loan and
was free from dust and cbaff. with
name and address, and for this got one
dollar and fifty cents above the market
price.

To Set a Table.

Breakfast being the plainest meal of
the day, the arrangement of the table
should always be simple. The cloth
should be spotless. At each persons
seat place a knife. fork, teaspoon or
dessertspoon, tumbler and napkin. and,
if fresh fruit is to be served, finger
bowl, if there be no servant. If you
have waitress, she will place the fin
ger-bowls on as you finish with the
fruit If fresh fruit be served there
must also be placed at each seat fruit
knife and plate. The knives and
spoons should be placed at the
right and the forks and napkins at
the left: the tunblers to be at the
point of the knives There should be
space between the knife and fork for
breakfast plate. Have the dish of fruit
in the center of the ia bic. Have tray
cloth at each end of the table. Spread
little butter plates at the top of each
plate. If individual salt and pepper
bottles be used. place them at the side
of each plate. If large ones place them
at the corners of the table. Put four
tablespoons on the table, either In two
corners. or beside the dishes that they
will be used in serving. Put the cary
inc knife and fork at the head of the
table and the cups and saucers, sugar
and cream. coffee-pot. hot-water bowl,
etc. and the mush dishes at the othes
end. Ladies' Home Journal.

Stirring the Surface.

Upon this subject correspondent Of
the Country Gentleman says that dur
ing the droughty spell of the past sea-
son interesting experiments were tried
with plat of cabbage. A portion was
hoed often and the soil fined deeply.
Another portion was kept fined an
inch. and the remainder was not dis
turbed except to pull out any weeds.
The crop on the deeply-stirred portion
made an excellent growth, on the shall
low-stirred about half the former. and
on that not stirred there is almost a
total failure. This not only proves the
wisdom of dust blanket" but also
that the blanket should possess thick
ness AS thick bed blanket is warm
er than a thin ore, provided both are
of the same material. so a thick dust
blanket exceeds a thin one in effect

OVER-CROWDING THE CITIES.
The Hard Lot of the Poorer Glasses Is
Mainly Due to This Cause.

The Hard Lot of the Poorer Glasses Is
Mainly Due to This Cause.
\ few months ago not only London
but the world was startled by the
statements. unfortunately but too well
founded. in Gen. Booths Darkest
England" The campaign then begun
by the general has been vigorously
conducted. The funds for which he
asked have been contributed, and all
his plans are in fair way to be car
ried out. Meanwhile the people of
London are not permitted to forget the
scheme or the reform which the
scheme is intended to effect. London
is now flooded with Salvation Army
matches in boxes labeled Lights in
Darkest England" The boxes also
bear various notices:
Love thy neighbor as myself"
''Provide things honest in the sight of
all men,"
There are also given on the boxes the
following reasons why people should
buy these matches:
First-To raise the wages of the
matchbox makers. Second-To fight
against sweating. Third-To help the
poor to help themselves by labor.
A very great part of the evils against
which Gen. Booth IS contending may be
NAV be traced directly to the over
crowding of cities. The evils, some of
them at any rate, are making them
selves manifest in certain of our large
Amerit an cities. The abomina BILE sweat
ing system is one of these evils, and one
of the worst. Perhaps it is impossible
to exterminate that system. but it is
possible TO make the evil less.
Let everyone who is considering a
project of removing from the pure air,
the healthful labor, the sweet quiet of
the country. to seek employment in the
CITY. consider also that he or she is add
ing one more to the vast and increasing
army from which the sweater recruits

An Orchard Fertilizer.

If your apple orchard yields an aver
age of 800 bushels per acre you should
make an annual application to the soil
of 25 pounds of phosphoric acid, 80
pounds of nitrogen and IS pounds of
potash with some lime and magnesia,
and these proportions need not vary
for other fruits The following form
ula will meet the case: Cottonseed
meal, 200 pounds; muriate of potash,
40 pounds; nitrate of soda, 60 pounds;
sulphate of ammonia, 40 pounds; sui
phate of magnesia, 40 pounds; South
Carolina ground phosphate rock
floats. 20 pounds: plaster, 20 pounds;
total, go pounds. The net cost of this
material delivered at my railroad sta
ton last season was S14 per ton. A
near approach to this formula may be
found in 20 bushels of wood ashes and
600 pounds of nitrate of soda, but this
would cost more. besides being lie SIS
valuable. The time of application
should be in the spring as soon as the
land is free of frost and surface water.

UGLY GIRLS ARE LUCKY.
They Have Advantages Which Compensat
for Lack ufH

1nev Have Advantages Which Compensata
for Lack of Beauty.
The statement that ''ugiy girls are
generally left to run to waste, as nm
appropriated blessings" is not sup
ported by evidence. Who has not met
wives as ugly as any old maid in his list
OF acquaintances? It is safe to make
the broad generalization that anv ugly
girl. all other things being equal, is
likely to have fewer offers than a pref
ty girl, but quite as likely to receive
the one offer which will make her a
happy wife. 1t may be doubted
whether plurality of lovers is an un-
mixed advantage to a girl; one good
lover, the elect man. attracted to her
by affinity in its highest sense, is for
ever enough.
But all other things (save the Gift of
beauty seldom are equal between the
ugly and the pretty girl; by the natural
law of compensation the ugly girl has
either some inherent or some acquired
quality that is lacking in the other,
which asserts its charm as acquaintance
progresses. Beauty only has the start
in the race
The ugly girl often has superior tact
human nature closely in order to get
the most out of it, she learns SO well
how and when to speak delicate flat
terry that she ends by convincing the
man who scarcely noticed her the even

the lips which can utter such bewitch-
ing things are really beautiful; for

Propinquity oftenest decides attach
ments Of every kind; if city man had
to spend winter in Cape Cod village
with homely but pleasant girl, he
would he more likely to find himself in
love with her by spring than with the
pretty and pleasant girl he left in Bos-
ton when he went to Cape Cod.
An ugly girl has firm grip, gener-
ally speaking; she is not stated with adj
miration, or confident when she gets it
that it will be perennial, so she does
not let chances give her the slip, after
the fashion of many bellies. When
once married she has plenty of grit.

1t is questionable, after all, if a
woman's beauty or LONELINESS makes
much difference to a man after he has
been married to her year: does he
even know how she looks? He sees
her inner nature and the happiness of
the couple is decided by the effect of
their inner natures upon each other.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, IS 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 inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets infamed you have 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 it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an tnfiamed condition

A Movable Brooding Coop.

A cheap coop can be made from an
apple barrel with the one end covered
with lath and a door to admit of clean
ing and placing feed for the brood and
the old hen. At night and on wet days
a piece of oil cloth can be arranged to
shelter the front and be thrown back
when not in use. 1t can be easily re-
moved from one place to another, adj
hitting of fresh surroundings as often
as deemed necessary. 1t is raised
slightly from the ground by means of
blocks on either side to avoid the least
dampness- The inside of the barrel
should be covered with fresh straw in
a moderate quantity. Wire netting in
place of lath can also be used and is
just as good for the front, possibly bet
ter. The entrance board can be made
about as shown by cutting the front
block under the barrel. slanting and
placing cleats on it to allow the chicks
to get in and out easily. Farm and

There's nothing left
of Catarrh, when you use DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. With the poison
Gus, irritating snuffs and strong,
caustic solutions, a good deal IS
left. They may, perhaps, stop it
for a time, but there's danger of
driving it to the lungs. They work
on false principles.
But DR.. Sage's Remedy cares it,
no matter how bad the case, or of
how long standing. Not only Ca
tarrh itself, but Catarrhal Headache,
Cold in the Head every thing
catarrhal in its nature. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties.
So will yours. You may not be-
lieve it, but the proprietors of DIR.

And to prove it they make you
this offer:
If they can't cure you, they'll
paw you $500 in cash. It's bust
ness proposition from a responsible
house.
But do you think they'd make
it if they, and you, couldn't depend
upol their medicine ?

national republican convention which
nominated 4 braham Lincoln she repre-
scented ten papers. When she took her
seat at the reporters table it was with
great surprise that she found herself
the only woman there. 1t was equally
surprising to the chairman of the con-

explanation. said she must go into the

down and continued to write, but it was
not until one of the other reporters
