FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Never use lime on land intended for
potatoes.
Cultivated berries are less liable to
injury by frost or drouth.
If any plants newly set fail to live,
put others IN their places at once.
The fruit and vegetable garden re-
quire richest soils and best culture.
OF all farm work it pays best for
work done, and suffers most from neg
lect.
Ashes or other forms of potash and
bone meal are good fertilizers for peas
and beans.
Severe pruning of laterals will not
only improve size and quality of fruit
but greatly increase the yield.
BY careful mating the size of the
eggs may be increased. The Wyan-
dotte now lays larger egg than she
did when first introduced.
Most fruit gardens are deficient in
potash. An application of wood ashes
will supply this want and is especially
valuable for light sandy soils.
Cultivate often. 1t warns the soils
in early spring. 1t allows even light
rains to penetrate the soil and retains
the moisture for use in summer.
Frequent cultivation stimulates an
early, vigorous growth. The roots
strike deep into the mellow soil, and
the ordinary drouth is harmless.
In pruning the raspberry and black
berry, cut off the long slender later
ais, forming an even, well rounded
bush. Remove all small weak canes
from the hill.
The secret of easy cultivation is in
stirring the soil as soon as it will work
after each rain, killing the weeds be-
fore they are visible and preventing
crust from forming.
Remove the winter mulch from
strawberries. Cultivate between the
rows. Stir the ground around each
plant, replace the mulch and large
berries, and lots of them may be ex-
pected.
The best time to fight chicken lice
is before they appear. The truth of
the old saying, 'An ounce of preven-
tion is worth spound of cure," is no.
where more apparent than in the
poultry house.
1t is generally considered ~ good
rule to retain about ten per cent OF
the best eve lambs, and to sell that
proportion of the oldest sheep each
year. This keeps off the infusion OF
young blood and steadily enhances tn,
value of the flock.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
RAISING CHICKENS.


While under favorable circumstances
the hen mother is to be preferred, yet
the step mother has some advantages,
particularly at certain seasons. 1t is
possible to give the chickens raised in
brooders moro care and attention and
to guard them against wet grass and
exposure to cold. They also start in
life free from vermin. Whatever
method of raising the chickens is
adopted, the Importance of these two
points cannot be overestimated. A
large hatch avails nothing unless the
rearing is equally good. New York

RULES FOR ROTATION.

Enough has been stated to show the
necessity of change of crops, and
the following are found to be the best
rules to observe in practice:
l. Crops of the same species and
even Of the same natural order, should
not succeed each other.
2. Plants with perpendicular roots
should succeed those with spreading
and artificial roots, and vice versa.
8. Crops which occupy the soil for
several years like asparagus, rhubarb,
etc., J should be followed by those of
short duration.
4. To crops alike favorable to the
growth of weeds should not occupy
the soil in succession.
5. Crops taking largely from the
soil tue sulphates, phosphates and nj
trogeneous principles should not fol-
low each other immediately, but be
succeeded by those which draw less
from the soil and more from the at
mosphere. These exhausting crops
should be followed by those which
bear and will profit by heavy manur-
ing.
6. Plants grown from their roots
or bulbs should not follow those
grown for the same purpose and still
less should plants grown for their
seeds follow each othor directly in
succession. I,

that the new cOntrivance exceeded his
most sanguine expectations. owing
to the density of the crowd he had no
opportunity to test its speed. but he Is

ertlon of propelling it is not enough to
keep man warm. This being the case,

RETROSPECTION.

Retrospection oft reminds us,
When we stop TO take a view,
Al the things we leave behind us,
That our noble deeds are few.
Oft when Memory comes to gather
Treasures from the casket, thought,
Do we find what we had rather
Retrospection had not brought.
Oft when Memory fam would linger
On SOME page of long ago,
Does Regret then point her finger,
And some thought unpleasant show.
So our joys and sorrows mingle,
When we look on things behind;
We cannot from actions single
Out the good from those unkind.
We cannot, while retrospecting,
All the scenes of life enjoy;
There are things that, while rejecting.
Will our happiness annoy.
Thus it is with sentient mortals,
When they take backward view,
Till they reach the closing portals
Of this lie, and there pass through.

All Because He Wanted to Return Cents
He Was Taken For a Bunko Man.
Not to be provided with small coin
sometimes leads to EN- barrassing sit
uations on the surface cars. A friend
of mine, whom 1 shall call Smith,
had an experience the other day
which he will not soon forget, and
more than dozen passengers on a

if they do not read the story, believ-

trying to secure prey in the leading
thoroughfare in the city.
This Mr.. Smith boarded a Broad.
way car at Twenty-t third street to go
to Canal street. When the conductor
asked for his fare, he searched
through all his pockets for small
coin. Failing to find one, he took out
his pocketbook and handed the con-
ductor SO bill.
II can't change that" said the
conductor coldly. Smith asked some
persons in the car to give him
change for the bill, but none seemed
able to do so.
DO you want me to leave the
carp" asked Smith
You need not do that" said the
conductor, "but you should not ex-
pect conductor to give change for
so large a bill. f"

good old souls you meet everywhere
made her presence known. Here,
Mr.. Conductor, she said, 'I'll pay
the mans fare. don't like to have
you stand it, as I'm afraid you will.
She handed the conductor q cent
piece. He rang up the fare, and
Smith thanked her for her kind act.
Then he again started out to get
change fer his bill. He had asked
half dozen men to accommodate him
and had reached the forward end of
the car before he found one who
could Or would make the necessary
change. Small bills and coins were
counted out in his hand while he
still held his own SO bill. just as
the last dime had been counted, and
before he had handed over his SO
bill, Smith happened to see the kind
old lady leaving the car. Hoping to
catch up with her, he started for
ward with his own and the other
mans money held firmly in his
| hand.
Hold on; you don'tget away with
my money so easily as that" shout
ed the man who had furnished the
change, while he grasped Smith by
the arm and pulled him roughly
around. Every passenger looked at
Smith with suspicion, and he was so
embarrassed he could not say word
for himself.
"You are bunko man," was
plainly written on the face of every
one in the car, and Smith read the
words as plainly as though they had

down in far corner of the car and
