FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Leghorns are among the very best Of
layers.
Set the first clutches OF duck eggs
under hen.
Proper shelter from storms means
regular, even feeces.
II will pay every grower to learn
thoroughly to grade wool
Burs in the pasture are very expen-
sive. Get rid of them.
The less water there is in butter the
fewer odors it will absorb.
The best way to keep root crops is
to pack them in sand and put in the
cellar.
Put the perches far enough away
from the doors or windows to avoid
draught.
Brutality humbles the pride and
takes the style out of colts as well as
out of boys.
Eggs often have a bad flavor from
the food the hens eat. 1t is well to
bear this In mind.
Have the nests so low that the hens
can step in. If they Jump in they are
apt to break the eggs.
If the young stock is 10 be used for
breeding it should always be selected
from the earliest matches.
Cows are not kept for their company,
therefore why let them go dry four to
six months out of the year.
Early manuring is simply impossible
if the animals are stinted while they
are forming bone and muscle.
The production of eggs is great
drain on hens vitality. Therefore,
the laying hens should be well fed.
Whether hatched in an incubator or
under q hen, do not feed the chickens
until they are twenty-four hours old.
1t never pays to offer horse for
sale in poor condition. 1t does not
pay TO keep horse In poor condition.
Fourteen million of the inhabitants
of France have farms of twenty acres
or less from which they manage to
obtain living.

comfortable quarters and see that
their feathers are we'll busted with in

II q colt is broken to harness when
he is full Of life and spirit, he will be

the cause OF suffering, encourages his practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse
by reason OF the delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medi-

removed the disease, thereby dispelling all

The Finest Crown Of Europe.

The finest crown of Europe is that
worn by the Car Of Russia. Ii is
surmounted by IA cross formed oi five
magnificent diamonds, resting upon
an immense ruby. The ruby rests
upon eleven large diamonds, which,
in turn, are supported by mat of
pearls. The coronet OF the empress
is said to contain the most beautiful
mass OF diamonds ever collected i'm
one band. The diamond i'm the eX-
tremity OF the Russian imperial
scepter, known as the Orloh, weighs
1919 karats, and cost i50, 600 roubles.

TEACHING CALVES TO DRINK.

According to f. f. Emery, Agri-
culturist at the North Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station, the successful calf
feeder will use more tact than force
III teaching a calf to drink. He will
never allow a foolish calf To betray
him into n passion or display of brute
force. Do not allow the calf TO suck
the whole hand or a single finger, but
placing the palm of either hand over
Its nose, gently bring it to the milk
held in convenient sized pail in the
other hand. BY separating the fingers
hold back the sides of the tongue and
insure the entrance of milk when the
calf sucks.
If the milk is warm there will be
less trouble, then give the calf more,
or less, of the two fingers, according
to the success in keeping it interested
in the milk. When the calf is doing
well the fingers will scarcely be touch
ing its tongue or lips. II it acts badly
give the fingers to suck and contrive
10 let in a dash of milk so a sup now
and then will encourage the calf to
continue.
l have been obliged to dip my hand
repeatedly into the milk and thus
give taste of it before the calf would
allow Its nose to be turned down into
the pail. Some calves will drink dur
ing the first to third trial, while
others will need the fingers a much
longer time. Farm, Field and Fire

HOW TO GROW AND SHIP CAuLIFLowRR.

HOW TO GROW AND SHIP CAULIFLowER.
Caulihower, like all vegetables Of
the brassics, or cabbage, family, re-
quires n very rich soil The land
should be treated to about eighty
two-horse loads of horse manure, or of
comported horse and hog manure to
the acre. This should be plowed un-
der, care TO be taken that the soil be
not wet, but in perfect friable and
mellow condition. The drills should
be about three feet apart and the cul-
tivation level and very frequent.
There is a hand cultivstor which is
preferable after the plants are about
half grown, because horse or mule
would doubtless destroy them if the
drills be only three feet wide. The
object is to have large, compact heads.
AS soon as these are we'll formed they
should be shipped, or the blue or pur-
pie bloom will form, and then the
heads are unstable, at fair or good
prices. If necessary, turning the
plant on its roots, say half way round,
will act as check, and breaking two
or three OF the outer leaves over the
already fully formed head will afford
a beneficial shade and little more re-
tarding. Only one-third of the leaf is
turned over the head, and IL is not
separate i from the main plant. Cauli-
flower should be shipped in shallow
crates, or. if the regular cabbage
crates be used, pack in tiers so as not
to injure the head. The recently
formed refrig orator car lines with ex-
pert handlers will prove great adj
vantage for shippers. Courier Jour

needs.

Prepare the ground with great
care, and have ii like garden as to
mellowness and freedom from clods.
Sow the seed as early as possible in the
spring. but do not SOW it on another
crop, as We generally do with clover.
1t is we'll TO SOW peck or 80 Of oats
per acre with the alfalfa. simply to sf-
ford little shade TO the young plants.
Since a field ought to last many years
when once a good stand is secured, it
will pay to take great pains with it.
Do not try to seed too large a field at
once, but begin with few acres. so
as to give these the greatest care, and
add TO the area each wear. In this wsv
success Is reasonably certain. But do
not attempt it without seeing that the
soil is rich in nitrogenous matter.

TREE WOUNDS.

Tree trimming is in order, and
many large limbs will be cut off un-
avoidably. No stump should be left,
but the cut should be made close 10
the trunk and the wound should be
painted thoroughly after as il has
seasoned for few weeks. Left To- de-
cay in the weather il will soon admit
water TO the heart of the tree, when
rapid and certain destruction follows
Some people make the mistake of
painting the wound as soon as it is
made. Paint and oil cannot adhere to
wet surface, but will peel of, or will
let sap and water blister beneath il,
and very soon the application is value

That President Cleveland has tenacity OF
purpose and that admirable but sometimes
misused quality 81 aptly termed the cour-
age of his convictions is again made evident
in his nomination of Wheeler H. Peckham
OF New York to be associate justice Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States. When
the President nominated MI. Hornblower to
I'll the still-existing vacancy he may not
have figured on the open and active an
tagonism of Senator David Bennett Hill.
but when he saw his nominee defeated
through HIS energy he undoubtedly made
up his mind to keep up the fight and to
present a candidate against whom none Of
the objections ostensibly urged against Mr..
Horn blower would lie, but who would be
doubly Objectionable on the ground Of op-
position to Mr.. Hornhlower. namely, anti
Maynardism and anti-Hillism. Conserva-
tive democrats Of the Cleveland school sug-
gested several names Of eminent lawyers

New York-to whom not even Senator Hill
could take exception, but the President was
aroused. had accepted the challenge Of his
deadliest enemy and was ready for the next
joust. II Hornblower had offended by his
participation in an assault on Hills friend

exposed Hill methods and in every way
keen intellect could suggest has made Hill
uncomfortable-if such a thing be possible.
But. busy as Mr.. Peckham has been in
endeavoring to wipe out Hillism, he has had
ample time in which to build up very
considerable reputation in the practice Of
law: so much of a reputation that Senator
Hill will find it difficult to prove the nomi-
zee unfit for confirmation. The conflict be-
tween Cleveland and Hill. therefore, resolves
itself into a political quarrel. and it re-
mains to be seen how the republican Sen
ators who voted against Hornblower will
vote as to Peckham. In some respects the
situation parallels that which existed when
President Garfield ignored Senators Conk-
ling and Platt in the matter Of New York
appointments but no one expects HUI TO
resign his seat in the Senate in the event of
q victory for the President, nor does any
one imagine IL he did that Murphy would
say, Me, too" And while this serio-comic
strife of the factional sort Is going on over
a judicial position important legislative
conclusions are delayed and the Supreme
Court Of the United States is seriously
crippled. The public reasonably demands
prompt action on the nomination.
