FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Give water to chicks from the start.
To fatten poultry for market give
plenty of wheat and cracked corn.
Drinking water for the fowls in winter
should be tepid, not cold, and always
fresh and clean.
A chick should weigh pound when
five weeks old. The average is a pound
at six weeks old.
Milk may be given to the chickens but
shouldbe fresh and the residuum carefully
removed, but do not substitute it for
water.
Feed very early in the morning as
soon us the chicks come out of the
brooders. Never keep them waiting for
breakfast.
After the first week any kind of food,
such as mashed potatoes, cooked tur-
nips, crumbled bread of any kind, or
any wholesome food, will be of advantage
to chicks.
1t is the casein left in the butter that
causes it to sour and spoil. Remove
all of the casein and pure butter will
keep sweet and fresh indefinitely if pro-
tected from the air.
The COW that the farmer wants is one
that will yield him good profit with
ordinary care. He has no disposition
to put COW to bed and tuck her in, or
to feed her on Cruel.
Choice beef cattle that are considerably
above the average quality can always
be sold at very good price a short
time before the holidays. But they
must be in prime condition.
The man who complains that his COWS
are unruly can be safely set down as a
poor farmer, and very often he is cruel
one, who deserves punishment. Most
unruly cows are made so by hunger.
One good and effectual remedy to re-
move warts from a cows teats is to wait
until she is dry, them wash them thor
oughly with a solution of sal ammoniac
and camphor; before she becomes fresh
they will have entirely disappeared.
When ten days old the rolled oats may
be omitted and wheat one day and
cracked corn the next may be used. Be-
gin to teach chicks to eat wheat and
cracked corn early by sprinkling little
on the floor (about a tablespoonful daily
after they are week old.
Barrels of fruit, we'll carted, should
be placed on the side and not stood on
end, for the jolting of the wagon tends
to settle the fruit aud make it loose in
the barrels. The more carefully the
fruit is sorted and honestly packed the
greater will be the profit.
Red clover and orchard grass riper
about the same time, timothy ripening
about three weeks later. As clover aud
timothy do not ripen together, it will bt
worthy of an experiment to use orchars
grass and clover on some soils. Timothy
and clover give the largest yield, how
ever, and will be used in preference by
the majority for that reason, though tn
two kinds Glover and timothy would b
more suitable if ripening at the sam
time.

Il is more speedily available, IL the bones
are ground fine, but il you have no mode
of grinding them, they are none the less
valuable from being buried whole. The
insoluble phosphoric acid is mostly sol
uble after being buried for some time.
After quantity Of bones (say buck
etfuD has accumulated, carry them to
the orchard, dig a hole of suitable size
and deep enough to bury the bones out
of the reach of hoe or plow, and then flll
up the hole with earth.
The largest and thriftiest grape vine
in this section has had no manure, ex
cept bones and ashes.
The bones should not be buried too
near the body of the tree or vine, because
the small, fibrous roots towards the ends
of the large ones are the feeders.
Some of our most successful fruit
growers buy bones for their orchards,
and pay from two to two and one-half
cents per pound therefor. The great
majority of farmers and orchardists
in this section let their old
bones go to waste or sell them
to some wiser man for thirty to sixty
cents per hundred pounds. A man
came along the other day offering 50 per
ton for them, delivered in the city. They
are worth at least SIS per ton to anybody,
and If you are near an available market
for fruits, etc., the value of bones to you
runs up to S35, $50, or even $50 in some
cases. Do not, then, throw your bones
in the back yard for your neighbours cat
or the first stray dog that comes along.
Bones, when fine ground, are an ex-
cellent fertilizer for corn and many other
crops. A small handful put IN the hill
at time of planting increases the yield
wonderfully. II you wish to grind the
bones TO use in the orchard or vineyard,
it should be spaded or plowed in after
being sown between the rows. If you
wish to pulverize them and have no ma
chine for the purpose, crush them with
large hammer, or the back OF a common
chopping axe. They cannot be so finely
pulverized In this way as with the ma
chine made for the purpose, but they can
be made fine enough to help the plant
use them.
If our most successful orchardists eau
afford to pay two aud three cents pound
for them, why should we, who have
them, throw them out for neighbor's
cat or dog. The value of bones is better
known in the North and East than in
the South and West, but we notice that
the value of them is better known now
than formerly.-Fdrm, Field and Stock

AMoNN RUSSIAN PEASANTS.

A phianthropic lady Of the Government
OF Tamboy, Russia, who owns several viii
lages, has caused all the liquor stores in her
villages to be closed, and established in their
steal tea houses. where peasants can get
meat, rolls and all the tea they can drink for
a nominal sum. On Sunday she and her
husband spend the afternoon in these tea.
houses, reading useful books and extracts
from newspapers TO the guests. The peasants
are greatly pleased with this innovation.
The tea'houses are patronizod, and drunken
ness Is almost unknown in those villages
where they are established. As the scheme
was suggestion of the novelist Tolstoi the
church authorities at once established a
supervision over them, with the special OBJ.
gect OF preventing the benevolent lady and
her husband from reading Tolstoi's works,
OF any heretical books TO the peasants ON
Sunday. But the philanthropic couple do
not mind this, and continue their good work
undisturbed.

whr plne Rose Is ImpOssIbIe.

A florist makes the assertion that a
blue rose Is among the impossibilities,
but, while an explanation of this curious
fact may be equally impossible, he fails
to mention a very interesting law which
governs the coloring of all flowers. A
knowledge of this law would save many
flower-growers hours of unavailing and
foolish hope. The law is simply this:
The three colors, red, blue and yellow,
never all appear in the same species of
flowers; any two may exist, but never
the third Thus we have the red and
yellow roses, but no blue; red and blue
verbenas, but no yellow; yellow and blue
in the various members of the viola fam
lily (as pansies, for instance), but no red;
red and yellow giadoli, but no blue, and
so through long list.-St. Louis Repub-
liz.

Worldwide a curse lies ON our land;
From shore 10 shore, from sea 10 sea,

The ribbon white the dear home binds.
Worldwide, a blessing waits for thee,
Oh homes beloved. of every land

Fragrant Wood.

Few of our native trees have odor-
iferous wood like the sandal wood of the
islands in the Pacific Ocean; but few
of the conifer@ on the Pacific Slope
have swcet-scented woods. The fine
church at Mctlallatla, built by the
civilized Indians of Alaska,is as fragrant
as if incense was continually floating
through the air, from the wood OF the
great arbor vite, of which it is built.
Libocedrus decurrens, found further
south, is known as 'incense cedar" from
Its fragrance. The yellow cypress and
the Monterey cypress have also scented

SETTING AN APPLE ORCHARD.

In setting out young orchard of
apple trees, we consider two rods apart
each way, or forty trees 10 the acre, Is
enough, and unless the land was very
rich we should prefer thirty feet. 1t
will then be many years before they will
cover the ground, and when they are
very near that point the limbs can be
clipped at the end to keep them from
interlocking. Although there is con-
siderable difference naturally in the shape
of the trees of different varieties of
apples, we should have them at uniform
distances, unless there were enough of
the very upright growing kinds to make
an orchard by themselves, when twenty
eight feet apart might be far enough.
By careful and frequent pruning of small
limbs, they can be trained so that the
upright growers will cover more ground,
and the spreading sorts be made more
compact. Some who set trees at the
above distances place plum, peach or
ounce trees among them at fifteen feet
apart, so that there may be three of the
small trees to each apple tree. These
small trees are expected to make their
growth, bear crops for few years, and
be ready to be cut out when the apple
trees require the room. Do not allow
the young apple trees to branch too near
the ground; four feet is low enough, even
for those varieties whose branches have a
tendency to grow nearly upright, and five
feet is not too high for the Baldwin, not
high enough for those, like the Greening
which are inclined to bend downward.
In these, care should be taken by prun,
ing on the under side of the limbs to pre-
vent them from hanging too low down
The advantage gained by shading tn,
tree trunk is more imaginary than real
and the less exposure to the wind is no
important, or may be overcome by
Withdrawing hedge, while the advan
tages of having the limbs high enough
so that the horses can 90 under then
when blowing or moving are very real
as is also that of being able to turn sheel
aud swine in when desired, to cat tn
fallen fruit, without having the limb
when loaded with fruit hang where the
can pick the fruit from them. There j
no better crop to grow among youn
trees than corn, but potatoes can be yer
well grown, and beans. Avoid crop
which need to be very heavily manured
at least until the trees get well to beal
ing, as too rich soil makes the youn
wood grow so rank as to be liable to b
winter-killed. Also avoid crops whlc
demand too much moisture lest they caus
the trees to suffer. After the young ol
chard has become an old orchard in fu
bearing, clover or grass may be grown
and the land made rich enough to sui
tain both crops.-Boston CuAigat0r.

The RIng of a Coin Catehes Theni.

If a man pretending to be deaf is
approached from behind while standing
on a stone floor or sidewalk, aud a coin
is dropped so as to ring, he will inva-
riably turn sharply around with view
to picking it up. This simple device is
frequently resorted 10 in countries
where conscription is the rule and where
deafness or any other inirmity relieves a
man from army service. l saw it tried
in Paris on six alleged deaf youths in
succession, and much to the examining
physicians amusement it succeeded in
exposing the sham every time.-St,

"7nere's something behind it.r
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
Of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it, "There must be some
thing back of it'll"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
In good faith. Tho only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. TO its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has q record that
goes back for 25 years, 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cares. With Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer ?" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DIR. Sage's Remedy.

INDIAN CORN OUR BEST FEEDING CROP.

Notwithstanding all that has been
claimed for various fodder crops from
time to time, the fact remains that Indian
corn will produce the most cattle food
per acre of anything that we can grow.
The man who combines livestock with
general farming is foolish if he does not
arrange for liberal crop Of this. II
used in connection with silo the corn
field will accomplish its very greatest
good. One advantage of the silo is that
it furnishes succulent food to mix with
other dry fodder and so make the latter
more palatable. -NeD York. Observer.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
CORN STALKS FOR HORSES.

The value OF corn stalks depends on
the manner in which they are cured and
saved. If cut before they are ripe and
dry, and cured in the shade-that is, in
close shocks, well protected from. the
weather-they are quite as nutritious as
hay, and are perfectly healthful. Horses
have been fed wholly upon this kind of
fodder for years, and have done well.
The stalks are a complete cure as far as
feeding can go, for the disease known as
heaves that has been caused by feeding
clover or musty hay. .-New York Times.

She Is Rather ShreMd.

Milton county, Ga, has a lady who is
a shrewd trader. Not long ago the
merchants of Roswell went wild in their
efforts to control the chicken trade. One
merchant raised the price Of hens to
thirty-fve cents. The Milton county
lady went down and purchased about
twenty dollars worth Of goods. The
merchant, thinking he would get the
cash, put the prices low. When the lady
had finished the trading she turned to
the merchant and said, "Well | under
stand YOU are giving thirty-fve cents
apiece for hens, and | will send a suf-
fcient number next week to pay for this
bill Of goods" The merchant was sold,
but he just grinned and endured it.
And now, when he goes to sell a bill of
goods, he inquiries whether it will be
paid in money or hens at thirty-five
cents each.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Nickel and Silver Plating.

Many articles said to be silver plated
are really nickel plated. Nickel plating
has many advantages over silver plat
ing. It does not SO readily yield to the
action Of acids, it looks as we'll as silver
and does not become black 81 quickly
from the gases in the atmosphere; be-
sides that, it is much easier and more
quickly done, and if people do not know
the difference, where is the harm? They
get the silver plating" and much
cheaper than would be the case were
genuine silver used, and the result is
generally more satisfactory.-St. Louis

The Governors Quilts.

The governor of this commonwealth
signs every bill with a quill. This isn't
because he is fonder of that particular
kind of pen, but it is rather in obedience
to a we'll established custom that has OBJ
tanned with the chief magistrates of the
last decade. There are always a few
members of the legislature that have the
collectors passion, and requests are
regularly received by Private Secretary
Roads from lawmakers and others for
pens that the governor has used for
signing bills. Accordingly dozens OF
these quilts are purchased ever so often,
and the governor makes his signature
each time with a new pen, which Is
carefully preserved and set aside for the
next quill hunter that calls.-Boston
