FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Never overfeed young heifers
Chopped barley is good food for
lambs to make bone and body.
1t has been remarked that the cream
of experience is skinned from split
milk.
Salt is necessary for all vegetarian
animals, and aids IN the digestion of
the food.
Skill and brain work get better pay
in dairying than in any other branch
of farming.
1t will not hurt any animal that is
kept for dairy purposes to have calf
at two years old.
All dairy room doors and windows
should be provided with screens that
will keep out flies and other insects.
Beets, or mangels, which are a spe.
cies of beet, may be sown any time up
to June. These plants need very clean
land.
Many persons regularly raise two
crops of potatoes from the same soil,
which can be done on most farms
when managed properly.
Balsam seed should be sown in boxes
or pans in early spring for summer
blooming; in early July, for flowers,
and in September, for winter blooms.
Hot water, if applied early, will re-
lieve caked udder. If that fails, try
or al n frlnn N "
with the hand, using first each time
the hot water, hot as the hand can
bear it.
Sulphur should always be kept in
handy reach of the sheephouse. 1t is
preventive of many ills. A few
pieces of roll birthstone should always
be found in the horse and COW troughs.
Insects and vermin do not like sui
phur.

Why do not some farmers who find
no money in their present style of
crops try raising suudowcr seed? asks
the CourierJ ournal. The North Caro-,
lima Station found in experimenting
with sunhowers as farm crop that
they paid well. Though a new thing
in this country it is not altogether
new, for Russia has raised this crop
for years. At the North Carolina Sta
tion, the average yield was sixty-fye
bushels. There is really no waste to
the plants. Oil is expressed from the
seeds, and huIIs or shells used for
fuel. The stalks and soedcups are lei
to sheep.

WISE WORDS.

We are shaped by our yesterdays.
Money is not the measure of merit.
Love doesn't wait for an invitation,
Advice should be well shaken before
taken.
Love is a natural product of hu.
manity.
Possession is pursuit with the pith
punched out.
Matrimony is remarkable developer
of character.
Courtship is glass through which
we see darkly.
Epigrams are diamonds in the gravel
of conversation.
A life of crime is often the result OF
running in debt.
We must go away from ourselves
to find the ideal.
When Cupid meets a woman he
smiles and sits down.
History makes us some amends for
the shortnes of life.
One who leans the art of living
will keep out of rouble.
Feminine beauty is not the subject
for man to select for conversational
purposes with homely woman.

Sun Dance of the CreeS.

Chief Little Bear, who is recognized
rs the chief of the Cree Indians in the
United States, yesterday called on
Judge Benton to ask permit to have
big sun dance on the west side. He
explained to the Judge that the dance
would last three or four days, during
which time the braves eat nothing,
dance day and night and give exhibi-
tions of their endurance.
The sun dance is of Aztec origin and
was originally n religious festival de-
signed to be an act of worship and
homage to the sun, which ut this sea-
son of the year commenced to give
life to vegetation. In old times it was
customary for the braves to have
hooks inserted in the muscles of their
backs with a chord attached to sap
ling and then swing themselves ar ound
like fish dangling at the end of a
fishpole till they tainted away. the
man who could endure torture the
longest being the greatest Indian
among them. While proceedings OF
this kind have gone out of fashion the
sun dance is still an exhibition oS
physical endurance. Great Falls

AN ENCOURAGING PRACTICE TRIAL.

'I am to understand, then, Miss
Plunkett," said the young man, out
wardly calm, whatever may have been
the tempest of passion that agitated
his interior, "that this avowal is an un-
welcome surprise to you?"
81 have never dreamed, Mr.. Han

most disdainful glance, "of the posi-
biIity of such thing, and beg that
you will never renew the subject"
'It would be useless to reopen the
decision, would it?"
'fIt would"
"You could never look upon me In
any other light than that of friend?"
"Never"
He was silent a moment, and then,
with visible effort at unconcerp, he
said:
"Pardon me for asking the question,

''Once again, Mr.. Hankinson," said

Punished After Thirty.Eight Years.

Here is story of the merciless Sc
verify of the Russian law, which has
gained currency in London. More
than thirty-eight years ago Ivan Ry-
kot, an eighteen-year- boy, got
drunk, and, entering church, stole
the wax candles from the altar and sold
them to continue his spree. He was
arrested and condemned to the mines
OF Siberia for sacrilege. After time
he managed to effect his escape, and
through many hardships and dangers
made his way to Tomsk, where was
befriended by farmer, and, securing
the passport of deceased laborer, he
married and prospered. His story he
carefully concealed until few weeks
ago, deeming all danger past, he re-
lated his experiences at family re.
union. 1t was but ten days afterward
when a police officer entered his bed
room early one morning, and arrested
hlm on the charge of being an escaped
Siberian convict. He was brought to
trial, and in court made full con.
fession, TIN owing himself on the mercy
of the court 1t is an attribute that
that court does not seem to possess.
He was sentenced to be severely
knouted and sent back to the mines
for period twice as long as that to
which he was sentenced as boy

THE ONLY FISH NOT OUT.

A man entered one of the down.
town restaurants the other day and,
being invited to inspect the bill of
fare, his eyes fell upon the fish part of
the food schedule.
"Give me some baked bluefsh, "
said he.
"Bluefish all out !" yelled the cook,
sonorously.
"Well, l will have boiled salmon
and peas.
"Salmon and peas all out, respond
ed the cook.

CROP ROTATION.

Crop rotation should be practiced il
you mean to improve the land. A crop
rotation of three, four, or five years,
with clover for one of the years, can
be so arranged that the land will be
continually strengthened by it. This
method, in connection with all the
manure which can be manufactured
and the turning under of green crops
as often as may be possible, is the way
by which many poor farm has been
changed into a good one, and land
which barely paid its taxes has been
made to yield an excellent living, but
this has been done only by good,
methodical farming and not by hap
hazard ethods-Chicago Times.

The removal OF the Capital Of
Louisiana from Baton Rouge to New
Orleans has been again proposed in
the State Legislature in the form Of "A
resolution, to submit the question to
the popular vote. 1t is doubtful, how

the people would record themselves in
favor of change, for in 1S79-at a
time when the State Capitol was al
most fallen in ruins and tho depart.
ments were without quarters the
question in the same form was before
them, and they decided that Baton
Rouge should still be the Capital A
local paper says: The arguments
are in favor of New Orleans as tbs
Capital, but we do not imagine that
the people of Louisiana are williny
despite these arguments, to go to the
expense Of a change now. When they
want it-and we believe that TIE feel.
ing in favor Of it will grow stronger
every year-they will demand it in
such manner as to leave no dou55 ot
their wishes. We see no evidence o.
such sentiment to-day" In con.
nection with this subject it is inter
estinS to note that no less than four
teen States have their Capitals locate
in their principal towns, twelve in
large cities, although noS their largest,
and sixteen in towns of less than 15,-
600 people, and the first class of States
have decidedly the best governments.

STACKING HAY.

Hay keeps best IN round stack If
the stacks are to so up by hand, plant
a pole about twenty-five feet high and
stack around it to the top, tramping
thoroughly near the pole. Then rake
the sides thoroughly after few days
settling, and there will be no percep-
tible waste. 1t is cheaper to put hay
up in this way than to build barns and
haul it in. Cheaper because the hay
goes up faster and lessons the danger
of loss by rain; cheaper because labor
is high and time is precious in hay
harvest; cheaper because it costs
money to build barns. Some may
scout the idea of having to use pole
for a guide Better use pole and
have all your stacks perfect than to
serve your false pride and have part
of the stacks lose their tops in the
wind, or lean over aud leak water. If
the stacking is to be done by machine,
still adhere to the round form, throw
ing each delivery on top of the former
and stack just enough to give the pile
good form. Build the sack about
twenty-eight feet high and put about
fifteen tons in it. The hand-built
stack should have about five tons in
it, The small stack always cures best
and makes the finest hay Rural Life.

RIPENING CREAM.

In rlpenlng cream, the temperature
should be kept as near sixty degrees
as possible. 1t will ripen in twelve,
twenty-four, or thirty-six hours, ac-
cording to circumstances. 1t should
be stirred thoroughly at least twice a
day, and every time fresh cream is
added. The cooler the temperature
the longer the time for ripening and
vice versa. If the cream is kept too
long it not only becomes excessively
sour, but decomp position sets in; that
is hurtful. When ready for the churn,
if cream is too thick, thin with water
or milk. If the cream is too cold you
may churn and churn and the butter
will not come. If too warm, the but
ter is spoiled. Ohio Farmer.
