Farm Notes.

Two TABLESPOONFUl.S OF coal oil to
one pint of buttermilk, mixed thor
oughly and diluted with six gallons
of water, is said to be good remedy
for the striped bug that bothers
sQuashes, etc.
THE plague of flies can be very
largely avoided says a dairyman, by
rubbing the horse and the cows all
over with a sponge dipped in soap
suds in which small quantity of
carbolic acid has been mixed.
THE best use to which wood ashes
can be put is on the grass land.
Land that is intended for scarlet
clover this fall will be greatly bene-
fitted by wood ashes Coal ashes
possess but very little value, but
every ounce Of wood ashes should be
saved.
THE value of the land must be con-
sidered in the cost of the crop. If
the farmer at distance must pay
higher transportation charges he will
have the advantage of being able to
produce as much per acre as on more
valuable land nearer the markets.
If farmers would protect the birds
they would have less spraying to do.
The quail consumes both insects and
the seeds of many wees and grasses,
but it is protected only to be de-
stroyed in the winter Formerly
nua Is we're very numerous in some
sections where they are now extinct
or but seldom seen.
CAN the proportion of butter in
milk be increased by judicious feed
ing? The testimony that it can be
done is rapidly growing The exper-
iments of many of the State stations
and of dairy experts have gained
pretty exact information and show
that certain foods rich in oils tend to
produce an increase in the butter
fats in milk.

STOCK AND FARM.

The receipts of hogs at the Kansas
City, Kan, stock yards since January /
show an increase of 100000 over the
receipts for the same period last year.
W. H. Lyons, Of Miami county, had
seventeen magnificent steers on the
Kansas City, Kan, market recently,
that averaged 1865 pounds. R. Hamp-
son, of the same county, had in thirty
six choice steers, averaging 1,571
pounds, and William Hampson, of the
same county, fifty-four choice steers, av-
eraging 1,4s1 pounds, all of their own
feeding. They were sold at $4.70, $4.65
and $500, respectively, the top priceV
of the day. They were taken by the
schwarzschild & Sulzberger company for
the export Trade.

arrangement for the purpose as it
can be nailed together when other
farm operations are not pressing.
Many farmers who appreciate their
value have more than fifty of these
light boxes In gathering potatoes
the boxes are filed and left about
the field low wagon or stone boat
being driven around and loaded with
them without heavy lifting. For
storing apples and potatoes they
make a handy package, as they can
be piled up in the cellar in tiers, six
or eight deep Thus they are con-
venient for examining the contents,
and allow thorough and complete
ventilation, two very important con-
siderations, as all know who winter
these fruits and vegetables in their
own cellars The names of the diff
ferent varieties are readily inscribed
upon each box. The handles are
pieces of soft wood, four inches
square and one incn thick firmly
nailed in place, so as to project about
one and a half inches, as shown in
above illustration.

A PROMINENT physician says that
people who go into a house that has
been previously occupied should ascer-
tain whether any one living in it has
ever had consumption, scarlet fever,
or any other contagious disease, as
the bacteria of such diseases will
llnger for years about a house. The
only safe thing to do is to have any
house into which you move thor
oughly cleaned and disinfected be-
fore you take single article of your
own into it You may save yourself
heartache and expense by so doing.

ONE Of the best things about fair
is the opening it gives the entire
family for an outing together which
combines pleasure and profit. The
farmers wife is as much benefited by
the change as the farmer. She en-.
joys the talk over their common
tribulations and experiences and goes
home with a new current of thought
and new plans for home comfort.
Even the children wake up a little
not rs much as their parents, for
children are 50 full Of life they do
not need stirring; but the cattle, the
prize vegetables, the needlework, and
all the exhibits have their influence
upon the young minds and make
farming seem more like business de-
serving respect. Even the amuse-
ments serve good end, though they
may have nothing to do with agricul-
ture pure and simple, In life, work
and play must be Joined to keep the
worker in vigor, and it is well that
some attention is paid at fairs to this
need of mankind. To see a good
horse race hurts no man, and there is
something very stirring to the look
er-on, in such q sight, When the
fair Is secondary to the races it is a
mistake, but when The fair comes
first and the races second there can
be no reasonable objection to them.

Seedless Grapes.

1t has been stated in a recent essay
by a prominent horticulturst that
seedless grapes are produced by a
growing plant from cuttings for sew
eral successive generations The
theory is that plant becomes accus
toned to this mode of propagation,
and then the natural process Of pro-
ducing seeds becomes abortive by dis
use. While those of wide experience
may smile at this speculation, it is
really one on which many scientific
men differ That there is no ground
whatever for believing that seedless
grapes can be produced in this way is
evident from the case of the red cur
rant of our gardens. This has been
continuously propagated by cutting
from the time when the Romans
held sway in England; and yet, as it
is we'll known, it produces seeds as
freely to-day as if it had been raised
continuously from seeds for couple
of thousand years. Just how nature
does produce the seedless grapes is
not yet well-known, ana the honest
answer as to how seedless grapes are
produced would be to say that 1--WE

POLICEMAN LAKE, of New York,
who arrested young man because he

nine blocks under broiling sun to

he can prove that he is sober. Such

Bur should it appear that the
Lyons assassination was but another
act in the drama Of anarchy, France
may well be struck with panic.
What is to be done with fanatics who
fear death as little as they scruple to
inAict it upon others? Against the
French law lies no charge of undue
delay or leniency. Every bomb.
thrower has gone speedily to the
guillotine, but each has died with
defiance upon his lips, and each has
had follower. In Spain where, too,
anarchy has been rife, the laws re.
venge has been equally swift, merci-
less, and-fruitless, Something other
than death sentences is needed to
check the spread of the conspiracy for
murder Against men who care
nothing for life themselves the whole
enginery Of the police and the law is
impOtent. If he be indeed an anarch-
ist Santos fate will probably deter
other mad assassins as little as
Ravachol's frightened Valiant, or
Vaillant's Henry. What shall be the
cure for anarchy? Most happily the
question is one of little immediate
Importance in these United States,
but in Europe, where the power of
privilege has fuller sway, it is to-day
a vital problem and one not to be an.
swered with the guillotine or the

rhe Lntgest Farm in the world.

The largest farm in this country
and probably in the world is situated
in the Southwestern part Of Louisi-
ana. Its area is 100 miles north and
south and twenty-five miles east and
west 1t was purchased in 1888 by a
syndicate of Northern capitalists by
whom it is still operated. At the
time of its purchase its 1900, 900
acres was vast pasture for the cat
tie belonging to few dealers in that
country. Now it is divided into
pasture stations or ranches, existing
every six miles. The fencing is said
to have cost about $50, 900. The land
is best adapted for rice, sugar, corn,
and cotton. Steam power is used
almost exclusively. There is not a
single draft horse on the entire place,
if we except those used by the herd
ers OF cattle; of which there are l6,-
900 head on the place The South
ern Pacific Railway runs for thirty
six miles through the farm. The

Mr.. Clarence Eddy on the occasion of
bis organ recital at Emmanuel church
Tuesday evening. By his masterful
handling of the grand instrument. he
kept the vast assemblage in rapt atten-

wonderful organist, and vindicates his
great reputation by the rare pleasure he
gives in producing range of tones from
his instrument that sounds the whole
gamut OF musical expression from the
delicate notes of the sweet songsters Of
the woods to the thunders of an ele-
mental storm. Those who listened to
his performance will not soon forget the
exquisite pleasure they drew from his
inimitable execution upon the most

plains that large quantities of FROST

sold. If there are any of our orange
growers engaged in this sort of repre-
hensible business it ought to be known
who they are. We would suggest to the
lately-formed orange-growers' organizs-
ton that they investigate this Sc
rious charge, and if they find
that it is true they should hold
the men guilty of it up to public
obloquy. The great industry of orange
growing should not be placed at the
mercy Of few uncomfortable men who
have no regard for the good name of our
fruit, and who injure all honest men en-
gagged in orange-growing for the cake oil
the paltry gain they may secure on the
damaged fruit they send to market.

than last night. 1t is the mind OF the
composer she presents, and the applause
which greeted her was fitting recogni-

The name OF Mrs. Stanford has been
twice brought before the people OF her
adopted state during the past week,
and on both occasions in ways that the
better class OF our people most heartily
dislike. The first of these was an &C.
count of an attempt to mob her private
railway car ss it stood on the side-trsck
near a small station opposite the once
famous ''Tehams rapids" on the Sacra-
mento river. The whole report turned
out to be fake. The second Of these
uses OF the lsdy's name was in connec-
ton with that of ex-President Harrison,
whose wife died nearly three years ago.
The reported engagement was tele-
graphed to all the papers, and no news
paper could afford to cast it out, even
though believing it, as the HERALD did,
to be very doubtful. What Mr..
Stephen T. Gage said about the matter
to a HERALD reporter Tuesday night
will be generally accepted. we think, by
the people of California at large as the
frozen TRUTH" when he said that the
memory of the departed war governor
was more to her than could be the love
of any president, prince or potentste
that ever walked the earth. Even If it
we're true it was nobody's business.
Her husband had been dead many
months, and if she had contemplated a
second marriage it was purely her own
affair. But those converssnt with her
affairs know that she is the busiest
woman west of the Rockies, if not in all
America, and has something else to
think about besides contemplating a
repetition of mstrimony. Jane Lathrop
Stanford's name is already part and
parcel of the history of the Pacific
coast, and her many good actions do not
halt at the California boundary line by
a good deal. The lovers of decent jour
nslism necessarily must join us in ex-
pressions of unfeigned regret at the dis
courteous and impudent manner in
which her name has been banded
about within the past few days. 1t is
very traLhy.
