plants before they ripen the seeds,
which are produced in large numbers
and are readily carried by the wind.
As many as 25, 900 seed may be pro-

The wild or prickly lettuce (lactuca
Scariola) is one of the most conspicu-
Gus weeds, having a single stem of
from one to four feet or more high.
The leaves of the plant are six to eight
inches long and an inch and half
wide, with irregular prickly edges,
resembling some varieties OF culti-
waited lettuce. Cutting before the
seeds form, or better, cutting its bios

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Glover is food for hens which one
must not overlook.
High bred animals give better re.
turns for feed consumed than ordinary
or scrub stock.
Even an extra amount fed to poor
cattle will fail to bring that superior
quality which is desirable.
Only cultivated crops should be nl-
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grein and hay should never be grown.
The tillage should be repeated as
often as once in ten days throughout
the growing season, which extends
from spring until July or August.
Glover is abundant, bulk y, and rich
in lime and nitrogen. Cut, scald and
mix with a little ground grass for the
poultry in the morning, and save
more expensive material, us clover is
very wholesome.
Fall plowing may be advisable for
farm crops, but it should generally be
discouraged in orchards. The land in
orchards should be left compact in
the fall, and it is advisable to cover it
with some close herbage.
The very day you hear of garbage
crematory near you, go and see what
you can get the ashes for. Send a
sample to the State experiment station
for analysis. You never will have u
better chance to obtain u cheap fertili-
zer.
Unless you live too far North plant
onion sets in tho garden now for early
use next spring, SOW lettuce and
radish seed for early vegetables
and pansy for early blooming.
Protect these beds by heavy mulching
with manure rs soon rs the ground be-
gins to freeze.
Late cultivation may DO injurious
by inducing q late growth. At all
events, it can be of small utility when
the begins to mature and rains become
frequent. This season of respite gives
the grower the opportunity of raising
green manure, and of adding fertil-
ity to his land at triAing expense and
with no harm to his trees.
Garden soils that are inclined to be
heavy will he greatly improved by
ridging SO as to expose them to frost
in winter. Throw two furrows to-
gether as in making sweet potato
ridges, leaving narrow and deep dead
furrows. This system gives thorough
surface drainage and admits of early
cultivation in the spring.
If the currant bushes are not pro-
ductiye try little heroic treatment.
Cut out all the old wood and prune The
roots down thoroughly, then spade NJ
the soil all about and work in liberia
allowance of rich manure. Put sane
about the stools to keep the weeds
down and encourage the growth oI
from four to six Of the new canes.

CRUELTY OF BARB WIRE.

We are aware that there are a few
stockmen who by some fortuitous
concourse of circumstance have es-
capped having their animals mutilated
by the barbs. One correspondent
even wrote us taking the position
that colt that hadn't sense enough
to keep out of the wire hadn't sense
enough to live and ought to be killed
in the fence. But we could never ap.
probate the force of such logic. The
best Of colts--and young folks-are
sometimes bit foolish under stress
of excitement. 10 comes not far from
being characteristic of the adolescent
age. But they outgrow il. The point
is merely to keep as fnr from them as
can be the temptations and posi-.
bilities for bad when they are at that
age. When an animal once learns
what barb wire is there is compare.
lively little danger of injury from it
except in the dark, but the trouble is
that il comes away from its first
lesson on the subject wiser but not
handsomer animal. IL may be "still
in the ring" but it is ordinarily more
than somewhat disfgured."
OF course barb wire fence that is
kept perfectly tight at all times is far
less harmful than one in which the
wires are loose or broken away from
the posts. A loose barb wire fence on
farm with live stock is simply an
offense against humaneness. 1t is
wicked trap. We have never wasted
bit Of sympathy on the men we have
seen caught in the wires of fence
which their Incidence or ignorance or
neglect had permitted to get loose.
Carelessness in fence building and re-
pairing is doubtless the cause of much
of the damage done to live stock by
the cruel barbs, but a barb per Sc is
dangerous. Some farmers carefully
round off with jack-plane the edges
and corners OF stalls and boxes in the
barn lest en- animal should accidentally
come to srief by a bump against
them, and then fence their paddocks

An Old Soldiers Death.

Baron Gemmingen, lieutenant field
marshal and inspector general of the
Austrian cavalry, who died at his home
in Gutleberg, Austria. two weeks ago,
had been an active soldier for almost
half century.
When, on the afternoon of his death.
his physician told him he had but an
hour or two more to live, the old man
sat up in bed and called to his military
attendant in the next room. The soldier
came. Bring my parade uniform
commanded the general. The uniform
was brought. "Now put it on me-"
The order was obeyed, while the old SOL
der gasped heavily for breath.
"Have Fritz send in broiled chicken,
bottle of Sec, and an imported cigar"
The order was filled, and the tray was
laid on the generals bed. He ate a
little and drank much He lighted the
cigar. He smoked it half down without
taking it from his mouth. As he re-
moved it to knock off the ashes. the end
came. He sank back with the cigar
still between his fingers, and died before
it went out.-New York Sun.
