SMALL POTATOES.

Save the small potatoes for the hens,
After they are cooked they will require
no preparation, as the hen can easily
pick them 20 pieces, In the winter
season they will serve greatly to assist
in keeping the hens in good condition,
and rs such potatoes are unstable.
they can be made just as valuable as
the large ones if converted into eggs
and sent to market. Potatoes will be
cheap this winter, and the best use the
smaller ones can be put to is in the
kettle, to be fed where they can take
theplace of something more expensive.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BULBS.

Always procure bulbs as soon as
possible in the fall, advises Eben E.
Rexford. This because it is important
that they should be planted so early
that a complete root growth may be
made before the coming of the winter.
The success of next spring depends
largely on the thoroughness with
which the work is done. Good roots
mean fine flowers.
have your beds ready for the bulbs,
go that you can plant them immediate
ly after receiving them. A bulb dries
out rapidly when exposed to the air,
and 1t Is important that it should go
into the ground fresh and plump.
Have the bulb bed well drained. II
it is not naturally so, provide artificial
drainage
Have the soil very fine and mellc W.
You cannot work it over too much. II
rather heavy with clay, add sand OF
loan to tighten it.
Make it rich with old decomposed
manure from the COW yard. Nothing
else IN the shape OF fertilizer suits d
bulb so well.
On no account use fresh manure.
In buying bulbs always get the best.
The best is the cheapest in the end.
Do not coniine your purchase tc
spriug-howering sorts. Be sure tc
plant some summer and fall blooming
lilies.
BE sure to plant some bulbs, if You
have none Mt present If those who
have never grown bulbs could fully
understand the amount of pleasure to
be derived from them l am quite sure
ten would be planted where one is
planted now. BY making judiciou,
selection 1t is an easy matter to have
flowers from the melting of spring
snow through April and May to the
coming Of the early summer flowers. -

NAr1oNs FoE IDLE nnRsrs.

Horses that are not worked in the
winter may be kept in excellent con,
dition on good clover hay alone. This
hay h9s more proteine in 1T than wheat,
and more fat, and these two elements
of the food ure most needed by animals
that are not in active use. If timothy
hay is used, two quarts daily-given
at noon-of ooarsely chopped corn,
with bran, or of oats unground, would
be ample. Exercise is indispensable,
however, to health, and this will be
afforded by the use of yard for few
hours at midday. New York Times.

A gentleman relates the following; A min

A PRIEsT's EXPERIENcE.

In recent letter TO the New York Tri-

Brooklyn, said: "When. on account on poor

publicly, that no one should leave Ireland

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A COW can never be spoiled by too
much petting.
Land plaster is the best disinfectant
and absorbent for barn use.
Have you provided range of clover
or rye for your hogs this winter I?
They need it.
Why buy a pig in a poke, or a COW,
without knowing of the value of her
milk? Test it carefully before buy
ing.
Next to cleanliness, which is mex
to godliness, nothing equals light and
sunshine in the way of sanitation in a
stable.
A clean canvas cover over the cream
vat is sufficient. Great care should
be taken to purify the canvas fire.
quently.
When putting away tools for the
winter see that care is taken that they
do not rust. Care is cheaper than
new tools.
If a cows nose is hot and dry, or if
she 'ioses her cud," it indicates a sick
animal. The appetite is gone and a
tonic is needed.
Feed the calves from pals kept
scrupulously clean by scalding. The
milk should be fed at a temperature of
ninety.eight degrees.
Every farm should have its hog lot,
well stocked with good animals. Good
big dollars are thrown away every
month on the farm where there are no
hogs.
There is every indication that hogs
will command higher price in Oeto-
her than they will get month or two
late. Get your hogs in the best pos,
cible shane as soon as Won can

DR.. Max Nordau, in Il recent book on the
drinking habits of tho French people. says
that while one rarely sees a French laborer
intoxicated, they are constantly under the
influence of alcohol, and he gives the fol-
lowing sketch of the daily drinking of a Par
isian labOrer. Early in the morning he
takes a glass of liquor either bitter or a
strong kind, which he calls "brulegosier'
Ohroat-burner), or "cassepoitrine" (chest-
breaker). In connection with it he gener-
orally eats piece OF bread and a bowl Of
soup. About IL o'clock he takes his break
fast, consisting Of a ragout or some other
dish containing meat, but in insufficient
quantities. with an enormous mass OF bread
and one or two pints of wine. He invaria-
bly, finishes breakfast with coffee, followed
Oy a glass of cognac, which is called ''la
goutte" (the drop, or "la rince guele" the
throat rinser) AT s or 7 o'clock dinner is
taken. consisting Of a~yegetabls soup, lii

From De Republican, Coopo'siotcn, " y.
The people of the present are travelling a
pace that would surprise the good old wives
and knickerbockered grandfathers OF hun
dred years ago. Things arc not done by de-
grees or stages in these days, but with rush
and hurry and says mo" to every setback.
In fact, this is the great leading trait of the
American people, and it never fails to at
tract the attention of other nations.
This constant hurry and ever present busi-
ness pressure has not been without its effect
upon the nerves Of the race, and every year
witnesses the incrsase Of nervous disease.
Medical science, however, has been keeping
abreast with the times, and from the very de-
mands made upon it there have sprung new
departures and discoveries.

Unless there are too many animals
to be fed, the easiest way to feed any
kind of roots safely is to slice them
with a sharply ground spade in a
shallow box. A bushel of the roots
may thus be cut in thin slices or small
fragments in a minute, and, as a peck
makes good feed, it is quick wav
of preparing the roots for feeding 1t
Is not safe 20 give roots whole, as the
pieces are apt to be too large to
swallow. A machine for pulping
roots so that they may be fed with cut
hay or straw may be purchased for SO
or Sl2, or one may be made by filling
the surface OF roller foot In di-
ameter with small chisel shaped pieces
OF iron, ground sharp, and fitting this
IN box having sloping sides, to the
bottom, so that the roots are cut into
small fragments. The box should be
made of such a size that the roots will
lodge at the side, AMI not slip to the
bottom until they are grated into
pulp. A machine of this kind need
not cost more than two dollars, and
will do all the work OF a moro costly
one.--Americsn Farmer.

There is no doubt that intemperance
shouens life. In recent medical work on
physician says: ''Ihe duration Of human life
may be ascertained by the pulsation Of the
body. Say, a mau lives seventy years, his
heart beating sixty to the minute, the pulsa-
tions in that time foot up TO two and a quar-
ter billions. II, by intemperance OF any
other cause, he raises pulsations TO seventy
five a minute, the same number Of pulsa-
tions would be finished in iifty-six years.

PRUNE GEAPEvINEs TO GET GOOD FRUIT.
Much of the pruning required by
grapevines can be done in the fall and
during mild days in winter. 1t is moi
best, however, to finish the work then.
Dead wood aud superhuous old wood
can be cut away, and the weaker canes
not suited foI bearing next season NAV
be shortened to two or three buds,
One of these blds, if properly man
aged, viii mes. likely make a good
cane of bearing size the next season.
to produce fruit the year after.
The strong canes selected to pro.
duce fruit may as well be left until
March. 1t will be light work to short.
en- them to half their length or less,
when the other pruning is out of the
way.
In pruning these strong canes be.
fore winter is over. some of the buds
most desired for fruit might receive
injury from extreme cold; they are
much less likely TO be hurt if left un.
pruned until the severe weather is
mostly over.
The necessity OF pruning the vines
exists by reason of the great produc
tiveness of most of the best varieties.
If left unpruned, twice as much fruit
will set as the vine can bring to per.
fection, and the fruit will not only be
inferior, but the vine will be injured
permanently in the case of some
kinds.
1t will be understood that the tern
''cane" refers to wood of the previous
seasons growth the wood which, il
strong enough, will bear fruit the sue.
ceeding year.
Pruning is not to be done when the
ground is frozen, and not to be done
when the vines bleed. National
