FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Ventilate the fruit cellar.

Ventilate the fruit cellar.
Let the strawberry patch be thor
oughly frozen over before mulching.
Awarm blanket on the horse will
save more than its cost in feed during
one season.
Wagon grease costs but little, and
is hardly any trouble to put on. Re-
member this at all times.
Don't forget that fall plowing
sometimes saves a great deal of labor
in the spring, when time is precious.
Let the poultry have access to the
manure pile when the ground is frozen,
so that they may scratch and not be-
come over fat.
If you have lot of old mongrel
roosters running around, kill them as
soon as convenient, as they are OF no
value as breeders.
Do you raise calves from your best
COWS only. If your best COWS make
$40 a year more than your poorest
COWS this is five per cent. interest on
5000.
The feeding and milking of the
butter cow operates just as the training
and racing of the horse. 1t tends to
fix the performing habit-and heredity
tends powerfully to transmit all fixed
habits.
Feed the fowls whole corn at night
if you wish, but in the morning let
them have wheat, oats, bran or corn
meal, mixed with the scraps from the
table; mix to stiff dough with water
or milk.
When the real cold weather comes,
keep the horses bride in the kitchen
by the stove. This will be appreciated
by the animal, as it will overcome the
necessity of having to take cold bit
in his mouth.
The Alabama State Farmers Insti.
tute and Agricultural Society at their
late meeting recommended that the
farmers of that State reduce their cot
ton acreage twenty per cent. and grow
diversified crops.
Cottonseed meal fed to excess will
iniure the flavor of butter just as lin.
seed meal in excess will injure the
grain and flavor. The wise way is ta
mix the different foods so as to secure
the best flavor, grain and hardness.
Fowls are creatures of habit in the
str1ctest sense, and when once they
form habit, such as egg-eating,
feather-pulling, or eating to excess,
they will continue the fault as long al
they have opportunities for 80 doing.
Every farmer is, or ought to be, in.
terested in protecting his own
products, and every pound of butter
properly made and sold at fair
valuation. is paying factor in the
interest of every other butter maker.
It would be we'll to remember that
during the long winter evenings you
can occupy your time prohtably by
rejecting upon the mistakes OF last
season, and devislng some means by
which you can overcome them in the
future.
The time has fully come when the
dairy interests of the country can best

FAST TRIALS TO BE REMEMBERED.

OF the impressions which they produced,
should recall to our minds what we then in
tended to do, and what we have forgotten to
do. Let US turn over the book of our lives ::
we are fond Of reading many books; but no
book next to the Bible will do US go much
good as reading the history of the dispensa-
tions of Providence in our own particular
cases. "Thou shalt remember all the way
which the Lord thy God bath led thee, to
prove thee and to know what was in thy
heart" Let us particularly dwell on the
pages OF distress, and on the special deliver
ance afforded US; these are to be gratefully
remembered.-Ceci

SPOILED HER FACE.
Curious Chemical Effects of Sulphur
Vapor on a Lady's Powdered
Complexion.


Vapor on Lady's Powdered
Complexion.
Yesterday morning at the Hot
Sulphur Wells a painful mental
accident befell lady bather. She
had applied to Col. Shacklett for
a tub bath ticket, received it and
retired. Soon she came out of the
door ct her bath room in semi-dis-
habille and Mysteries. She ran to
the office and asked for assistance.
"What is the matter, Madam"
asked the Colonel.
"Oh, look at me- look
at my face?" she cried. 81 went in
and turned on the water and then
looked in the glass, and my face
has turned black, oh-o-o-o-o-"
This was fact. She had turned
several shades darker than when
she went to the bath. She had
used mineral face powder for her
complexion and the chemical ac-
ton Of the sulphur vapor arising
lTOm Jl6 DdJu Wu6u SHE turned OH
the hot water had converted the
powder to its original chemical
color. This was explained to hel
by Col. Shacklett, but she was
hard to be convinced, asserting
she had bought the powder
from a reputable druggist and
he ought not to have
sold her such stuff. She was as
sured that the bad effects would
disappear in few days and she
would be all right, but she did not
greatly enjoy the remainder of hel
bath and it is safe to say her drug
gist has heard from her by thii
time.
The popularity of the sulphur
baths, it is predicted, will revolu
tionize the sale of face powders il
this city, and already druggist
say a certain class of their femi
nine customers will not buy an,
but the purest and most harmless
vegetable powders.

Household Novelties in France.

d0uSeh0ld NOVeltleS In france.
Miss Parloa has found at food
exposition in Paris a new iuven-
tion of which she highly approves,
and that is soup ladle that takes
up bouillon or other soup without
a particle of grease. The little thing
only costs 25c, and is thus described
in "Good housekeeping" "On the
outside of the ladle there is a tube
which begins near the bottom and
enters the handle an inch from the
top. The ladle is slowly put into
the boullon, but not far enough to
make it flow over the top. The
bottom of the tube is below the
grease line, and the soup flows
through it into the ladle free from
sediment or grease. Such an in
vention is likely to have wide ap'
probation by housewives in the
land OF soups and sauces" An
other curious thing seen by Miss
Parloa was ice cream frozen with
out ice. Instead a chemical salt
was used with water. The partic
ular advantages Of this discovery
will be in those places where ice il
not to be had.
