Farm Notes.,

THE margin of profit in farming is
too small to admit Of any unneces-
sary waste.
INCREASING the size of the pieces
of seed potatoes increases the yield;
result OF three years trial
SOFTEN up the collars of the work
ing teams by pounding with a stick
and kneading with the hands.
EVERY farmer should feed his
products SO as to make all the manure
possible, and then apply it wisely.
PLENTY Of shade and fresh water
are needed during the hot spells.
Keep the water in the shade and re-
new reluently.
WITH really good roads, the farmer
six miles FROM town or the railroad
station would find the cost Of trans
portation no more than one now three
miles away.
The foundation for success in
live stock farming lies in the econom-
lcal production and use of feeding
stulfS Then, given good stock, the
problem is pretty nearly solved.
IT has been found at Ellerslie, Mr..
Morton's famous Guernsey farm, that
one acre Of ground will produce en-
sllage for from three to five cows
while it takes two acres to produce
similar supply OF hay.
TIE total yield, or the yield of
straw and grain, was some fifteen per
cent. greater on the plats irrigated
at night, and the ratio OF straw to
| wheat was therefore much greater on
the plat irrigated at night.
THE beginner is specially warned
against spending his money Tor any
novelties in bees unless he wishes to
test them in comparison with what
are recognized as the best, and can
afford to spend money for such pur-
! poses.

The YearIing Heifer.

The heifer with her first calf is but
half a calf, as the saying goes. She is
but at the dawn of her development
for the purposes of the dairy. 1t Is
at this point that the necessity OF
careful and prudent management
steps in. The man entrusted with
the development of a COW for the
first year of her milking impresseS
his defects or excellencies on her
milk production ever after. AT this
period the heifer's teats are inclined
to be small, but if the man handling
her at this period is a competent
person these will be enlarged to their
normal size under mis- manipulation
and remain so during her life. This
is the critical point in the heifer's
career, if she is to grow into profit
able dairy COW, and should impress
on the dalryman the Importance of
having her looked after in an intelli-
gent manner She should be man
aged bv careful person who possesses
her confidence in the fullest degree
and whose method of treatment is
acceptable to her. This is the point
where to avoid the mistakes Of the
past that you committed in the train
ing you used with your former year.

Glover as AR Annual.

A writer in the American Agri-
cuIturist claims valuable discovery
in the fact that spring-sown clover
cut just after harvest has produced Il
good crop OF seed the same season. If
he had waited until spring he would
not be so enthusiastic. Treating
clover in this way seeding early on
rich land and cutting close to the
ground at midsummer, he changed
clover into an annual. This is some
times done with other plants. beets,
radishes, and carrot. but the plants
after seeding will at once die. What
is most needed with clover is to make
it perennial. This to some extent
can be done by entirely preventing
seeding the second year. This re-
quires several cuttings The plants
should not even be allowed to bios
som, for that also is exhaustive. -

i ne llUblc DOdU was ready TO leave.
A hasty farewell was said to the
groups of natives standing by, the boat
was pushed from the shore, strong arms
speedily rOwed to the ships side, the
anchor was hauled in, the SALES I'M
furled and the Sober Fritz was out at
sea.
The living were gone. Now to care
for the dead. That same young maiden
had gone unbidden into the cabin where
Louis body was lying, and was now in
an excited and nervous manner, pour
ing liquid into the mouth and nos
trils.
Others came in quietly and softly and
looked in as if understanding the
grave nature OF the proceedings, and
anxiously awaited the result.
The girl never took her eyes off the
marble face before her. She expected
She life to return, and she was not dis
appointed for in short time, Louis
opened his eyes, gazed languidly about
the room, and as if exhausted by the
effort, fell asleep and slept all the
night through.
ON awakening. he was told of the de-
parture Of the ship, with his compan-
ions on board, Of his supposed death,
the surmise he had been poisoned, and
the result of the application of the
antidote. He was told that Captain
Bodfish pleaded for the body to be
taken on board the ship and how pain
full it was for the physician to refuse.
All, everything, showing the devO-
ton of his companions was told him,
and he listened and wondered what it
could mean. During the day strength
ening drinks were administered to
him, and on the morrow he arose from
his cot seemingly strong and fully re-
covered from his illness.
The mysteries that now Overwhe lmed
the poor lad nearly drove him mad.
He had been poisoned. BY whom? He
was told that when his life was thought
extinct, the DOCTORS daughter had de-
tectcd evidence of poison, and the
changing hue upon his face had re-
vealed the nature of the drug he had
taken, and enabled the maiden to OBJ
tain the antidOte that restored him to
consciousness. The lOcket containing
Marys picture and lock of her hair
had been removed from about his neck.
Who did that? Perhaps it was Cap
tain BOdtish or Charles, who would re-
store the precious gifts to the attianced
with the story of his death in astrange
or it might be the girl who had saved
his life had removed it and hidden or
destroyed it.
Could it be that this girl admins
tered the poison when the ship hove
in sight, and, with her knowledge
of the drug, kept him as one dead I'M
til the ship had sailed and then APP
piled the antidote that brought his life
back to him? That could not be, be-
cause even while his companions were
taking a last look of his face, the girl
who made one Of the group around
his cot, suddenly rushed from the room
and lied like q deer to the mountains.
nor did she return until the last boat
had been pushed from shore.
On the mountain side she had gath
ered the life-resJoring herb, had
stepped it in boiling water, and not Il
moment too soon had poured the potion
down his throat. Had she given
the poison, would she not have
the antidote ready at the exact time to
apply it? No it could not be the girl
whosought his life only to save it. Who
was it?

CHAPTER ".
THE WILL A FORG cry.

The ''Sober Fritz" was at once got
ten under sail and by night fall was far
out to sea- Capt. BodiSh could not con-
ceal his feelings. The tears came
freely without bidding. He felt that
he had not only lost good friend. but
all the circumstances connected with
his death were sad in the extreme.
Could he even have brought the body
on board the ship and given it a burial
beneath the waves, he could have been
the better reconciled to the Hateful
events which had occurred.
Charles gave vent to his feelings by
loud expressions of sorrow. He had no
tears to shed, though he often wished
the tears would flow, but he had plenty
Of words of love and affection for his
dear friend, and he never tired of
speaking of his merits and eNtolling his
good qualities.
AT the first port made by the ''Sober
Fritz" an American ship was taking on
coal, and the Americans found no
trouble in engaging passage to Boston.
The voyage was finished in three
months. and Capt. Bodfish and Charles.
having feeingly parted with their two
companions, went to the nearest tele-
graph office where Capt. Bodtish mott
fed the owners of the Lucky Star" of
her loss and of the captains arrival in
Boston and his need of funds.
On board the ship the captain and
Charles had Jointly prepared true
statement OF the voyage made by Louis
to India, of the Lucky Star" sailing
for home, of the ship wreck, and the
events which proceeded Louis death.
The letter was full of sorrow for the
.sorrow-stricken mother and heart
broken Mary. and, being sealed and di-
rected to Mrs. Patterson. was deposited
in the pcstoftice by Captain Bodtish. \

The Useful Skunk.

The true usefulness of the skunk
IS fast becoming understood When
the sun sinks low and the injurious
worms begin to feed and cut the corn
the skunk, holding his head down to
the ground, walks slowly. listening
intently at each plant, and. hearing
the movements OF the worm, he digs
it out with his snout and quickly
swallows it, OF which, q hundred
hardly sutfices for meal. This ami
mai has some disagreeable habits, it
is true, but it is TO be taken with all

A gate to corral that is proof
against being opened by swine or cat
tie should always be provided. One
that is excellent for security, and
that can be easily constructed by any
farmer, is shown in the Illustration

but it over three feet wide, it should
be provided with diagonal BRACE

How to Make Insect Powder.

There are few people who have
any idea to what extent the
flowers of Chrysanthemum cinarari-
pfolium are cultivated in Dalmatia,
for the sole purpose Of making the
powder which has such a reputation
as an insect destroyer The whole of
the supply Of these flowers has hither-
to been derived from the Austrian
province OF Delmatia and the neigh
boring state, Montenegro. Trieste
is the market to which these flowers
are brought, and from whence they
are distrl buted to the average annual
value of e4O,O to $50, 900. The
plant is one that is easily cultivated
in any kind OF soil and almost any
climate. Within quite recent years
it is said to have been introduced
into Australia, California, and South
Africa, in each OF which its cultiva-
tion on an extended scale for COM
mercial purposes is contemplated. In
the neigbOrhOd of Berlin it is also
stated that the plant is grown largely.
but up to the present time DalmaJia
is the chief source from whence Eu-
rope and America draw their princi-
pal supplies The harvest commences
at the beginning Of June, and in the
face of the report that the plants had
suffered much from the severity Of
the past winter the crops are looked
forward to with much anxiety

Frost Iniurin" Wheat.

IFoSt "He1Cs
DIR. GaIen Wilson gives some good
practical advice in the New York
Tribune about sowing wheat and
clover. He advocates Il compact seed
bed which experience has proven best
for wheat But when he attempt
to give the reason he falls into error
He says truly, ''Frost heaves clover
only when the soil is deep AND soft:'
but he adds, ''Like wheat roots,
those of clover penetrate the COM
pact 1nderSoil, and frost has no eff
feet" We have often seen clover
roots snapped at the surface of the
ground by frost, while the lower part
Of the root was held in frozen soil.
1t is not that the compact subsoil
holds the wheat or clover root firmly
that saves wheat and clover from
winter killing. The shallow seed bed
tn fall with a compact strata beneath
it prevents the wheat root from CO.
ing deeply. So soon as the Young
roots strike this hard pam they branch
out horizontally. The top also does
the same, making the spreading
habit of growth" which all growers
OF winter wheat SO much desired.
Then, when cold weather comes this
mellow seed bed is generally raised
In body with its wheat roots spread
out and not much injured The
lower strata is only mellowed by
freezing, and in the spring the wheat
roots that have wintered without in
jury strike down into the subsoil
often to great depths. They ought
not to do so in the fall.
Care of Dairy Calves.
Prof Robertson says that breed
and feed are to cow like two wings
to a bird-one alone is of but little
use. A rule that will apply to ma
ture cow ought to apply with full as
much force TO young calf. A calf
may have descended from good
strain of animals, those possessed of
good milk and butter qualities and
yet be injured in bringing UP. A
calf may be injured by extremes in
feeding, by feeding too much of too
concentrated food and by feeding too
little Of poor food. We have seen
numerous instances of the latter
treatment. and carried little too
far for the health and even the life
OF the calf AS rule, we are favor
able to natural course unless tits TOO
uncertain and expensive, and believe
that the milk as it comes from the
cow is fully as beneficial as any arti-
fetal food that can be produced: but
