FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

Road dust is life t. hens and death tt
lice.
Burn the bones and feed them to the
| fowls.
Unusually large eggs denote an over
fat condition.
Supply what the hens can pick up for
themselves when outside.
1t IS hard to improve on storing apples
in barrels or spread on shelves in room
under or above ground that is dry, sweet
and kept just above freezing.
Improvement is being made at all
times, and with all kinds of fruit, but
when the farmer is brought into contact
with so many varieties, each claimed as the
''best, he will be unable to select from
them.
All seed corn should be thoroughly
dried before storing it away for next
years planting. When the seed is dry it
is less liable to being injured by severe
cold, and the more thorough the drying
Of the corn the better it will keep.
A steer that produces the most choice
beef is one that is not only fat but we'll
supplied with lean also. Tallow often
secures the prize at fat stock shows in
preference to meat that is Intimately in
terspersed with lean and fat. Weight
does not always indicate quality of
flesh.
A clean soil in the fall and the weeds
destroyed before they seed will save one
half of the labor in the spring. Seeds
Of weeds start off in growth very early,
and the farmer cannot keep them out of
the way. The time to destroy weeds is
wien they are just coming up through
the ground.

Hairy schools said: A COW with an udder

SOUTHpOWN SHEEP.

Perhaps no breed Of domestic animals
has been more successfully improved by
judicious selection in breeding than the
Southdown sheep. After fifty years OF
careful breeding we have, o-day a nearly
| perfect mutton and short-wooled breed
| Our modern Southdowns have no horns,
| their faces and legs are dark brown. the
| forequarters are wide and deep; the back
and the loins are broad, and the ribs are
beautifully sprung; the headquarters are
square and full, the tail is well-set, and
the legs are comparatively short-with
a fine bone. In short, the breed is almost
a perfect type of ovine symmetry. But
our best breeders are still endeavoring to
make improvement. The hardness and
sound constitution of the modern South
down are two of the best qualities, and
care must be exercised so as not to
breed them out. These enable South
downs to adapt themselves to almost I'M
limited changes Of climate, soil and
management. For richness and delicacy
of flavor, for julciness and tenderness,
there is no mutton that can equal that of
the Southdowns. Their early maturity
fits them for the SHAMELESS at from twelve
to fifteen months, when they weigh
about eighty pounds, and at two years
they weigh from one hundred to one
hundred and twenty pounds. These
sheep are docile and thrive we'll on ar
tifcial pastures and with ordinary treat
ment. The ewes average from six to
eight pounds of wool; yearling rams
eight to twelve pounds. The ewes are
good mothers and very prolific, aver
aging, per flock of one hundred ewes,
from one hundred and twenty to one
hundred and thirty lambs. The dense
and compact fleece Of Southdowns is one
OF the most useful o. our -
in staple, fine and curling, with spis.l
ends, it is generally used for cardins
purposes. Other breeds of sheep crossed
| by the Southdown ram uniformly par
take of the more important characteris-
tics of the latter. This is not concen.
trated in either wool, carcass, or form
alone, but in all these characters com
bined.-Anaerican Agricultmist.

E2r}g I'll" a,i;or morning a patrc

she cried excitedly. "She's my mis-

The woman who made the remark

Goode found it necessary to scold her
Hannah felt so much aggrieved that
she called the patrol wagon and want
ed her mistress arrested. After the

and Mrs. Goode always forgave her.
Yesterday morning the patrol wagon

locked Hannah up in place of Mrs.

The French West Indies.

Among the smaller islands which ex
tend from Florida to the coast of South
America are the islands of Martinique ant
of Guadeloupe, with its Dependence
Les Saintes, Marie-Galante, st. Martin
and St. Barthelemy, or St. Barts, com
posing the French West Indies. Takel
together they cover 1904 square miles
Guadeloupe and its dependencies have
an area of 1870 square kilometers and {
population in 1887 of 1873, 18S persons
Martinique has an area of 9SS square
kilometers, and in the same year the
population amounted to 77,078.
The Island of Guadeloupe is divided
into two parts by creek. Basse Terre,
the more important half of it, CONNER.
cially speaking, is we'll watered, while
the other half, Grand Terre, which Is tho
great center of sugar production, lacks
water courses.
The capital of Martinique is Port
Royal, and of Guadeloupe, Basse Terre.
The average temperature of Guadeloupe
for the summer is eighty-one degrees; of
winter seventy-six degrees, and for the
year seventy-nine degrees.
The value of articles imported into the
United States from the French West In
dies in 1889 amounted to S110, O59. In
the year ending June 80, 1890, the
United States imported from them $l24,-
24o worth of sugar, which amounted to
twelve per cent. of the value of our
sugar importations during that period.
In 1888 the ey ,,orts to France from the
French West Iudies amounted in value
to So, 197,990
There is little to be said of these ISL
ands in the way Of commerce and stats
tics. There is much to be satd of them
as furnishing interesting and picturesque
scenes to those who like to go out of the
beaten paths of travel.
St. Pierre, Martinique, is one of the
quaintest among West Indian towns, and
its architecture reminds one of the anti
quated French quarter of New Orleans.
Martinique IS exceedingly mountain
Gus. Only about half of its area is IN
der cultivation. It is not even fully ex-
plored. In its interior are Government
lands, of which the area, it is said, is
not exactly known. The island does not
produce enough food for its inhabitants.
Salt meats, cattle, hams, lard, flour,
cheese and dried fish are all imported,
and most of them from the United
States.-NeD York Nail and Erpress.

REMOVING STONES FROM LAND,

The amount of labor that can be
afforded in improving land is more a
question Of location and it's value after
Improvement than is often supposed.
Near large city, land freed from stones
is valued highly for many uses, and the
stones themselves may often be sold for
more than the cost of getting them out
for foundatio IS of buildings, Where
the stones are not useful for some pur-
pose it makes dear land to dig them out
or sink and bury them if they are very
numerous. The farmer can do this if he
is willing to count his own labor little
Or nothing. Not many farmers in these
days are thus willing, though it was
common enough when the country was
newer. Yet there is satisfaction in
removing eyesores, where excessive labor
is not required, that makes it worth
while to Go the work, even though the
land secured be not worth what it cost.
We recently saw a farmer digging out
rock in the centre of a large field. It
probably cost him at the rate of fully
thousand dollars an acre for the space
the stone occupied to rid the field of the
one nuisance that had always disfgured
it. Yet the farmer was well satisfied,
and he had reason to be. The improve
ment was not alone in the land reclaimed
to use, but every acre in the'whole field
was made more valuable thereby. Thus
the expense, though apparently extrava-
giant, was fully justified by the good re-
suits gained. Cultivator.

An aHonest" Jury.

The Philadelphia Grocery World
tells a story incident to lawsuit
brought recently by a Philadelphia
wholesale house against retail grocer
In Camden from whose vain endeav-
prs to collect a bill of ancient vintage.
The court substantially directed the
jury to find for the plaintiff; but to
the surprise of everybody verdict
was rendered for the defendant. One
Of the "twelve good men and true, :"
being asked for an explanation sub.
sequently replied: "Not enc of us
understood the case, so we thought
we would stand by our Jersey
brother!" Whereupon the representa-.
tive for the plaintiff turned on his
heel, made a bee line for the ferry
and swore a great oath that never
again would he set foot in Camden.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

We sadden as the sun sets.
Justice is symbol of dreams.
Wit is the sparkle of conversation.
A love of nature is remover of youth.
Age knows what is ahead; youth seeks
it,
Friendship is an oasis in the desert of
life.
The mind is the atmosphere of the
soul.
How many counterfeit people pass
current!
Pleasure for tho many; happiness for
the few.
Friendship lasts longer than love and
is more reliable
Our poor relations annoy us; we an,
noy our rich ones.
Tears should be shed by children, but
not by men and women.
A woman without laugh in her is the
greatest bore in existence.
A flower cannot blossom without sun
hine and man cannot live without hope.
We sometimes forget in the ashes the
glow and the warmth that preceded
them.
1t is the characteristic of pleasure that
we can never recognize it to be pleasure
till after it is gone.
A life of leisure and life of laziness
are two things. Many, without labor,
would live by their wits only, but they
break for want of stock.
We sleep, but the loom of life never
stops, and the pattern which was weav-
ing when the sun went down is weaving
when 1t comes up tomorrow.
A brave man thinks no one his SUI
perior who does him an injury; for he
has it then in his power to make himself
30 the other by forgetting it.

FERTILIZERS FOR SMALL FRUITS.

On old and much-worn soils CONNER
cial fertilizers may be employed with
benefit in raising small fruits, but we
would not advise depending upon these
alone, even if stable manure is scarce
and costly. We have neighbors who
pay from three to four dollars per load
for stable manure, and think it cheaper
at that rate than it would be to depend
solely on commercial fertilizers. They
use the latter largely to start their crops
in spring and expect that the stable
manure will carry the plants through
the season. Whatever commercial fer
tilzers you conclude to use should be
applied on the surface and worked into
the soil with harrow and cultivator. and
not pIowcd unlcrin the fall as suggested.
The amount of any kind required per
acre for small fruits will depend largely
upon the character of the soil.-Ameri-

Wonderful Gold Mine.

One Of the wonders Of Australia,
and one Of the greatest natural curl
Osities in the world, is the Mount
Morgan gold mine in Queensland.
The precious metal contained in this
mine, which has paid a dividend Of
not less than SIS, 600, 900 in Il year, was
deposited by hot spring.
Mount Morgan is hill about 500
feet high, containing at its top a cup
shaped deposit made by the hot spring
which once gushcd out there, and IN
this deposit the gold exists. Truly a
cup of Crwsus! Through untold ages
the waters dropped their glittcring
burden, and now man comes and OK
tracts the boarded metal to add to the
wealth Of the world.
Specimens Of the ore from this
strange mine have recently been sent
to the United States, that they might
be compared with the deposits of the
great hot springs in our own Yellow
stone Park. 1t was but natural to
suppose that the Yellowstone springs
had also a golden treasure in their
cups, but the most careful search by
biologists has thus far failed to de-
tect any trace Of it.
