Mites.

The shrinkage of hay is so great
that the price has to advance con-
siderably between Fall and Spring,
if it pays for Wintering.
It should be remembered that
when the COWS are kept on dry feed
alone they require a much larger
amount of water than when they
have the run of the pastures or have
plenty of succulent food.
Honey costs little and is valu-
able product, considering the price
it usually brings in comparison with
the small outlay in care and the ex-
pense of the first introduction.
There is no reason why every farm
er should not keep bees.
The orchard is an excellent loca-
ton for a poultry house, as the hens
have range, and in Summer they
can resort to the trees for shade.
Fruit growers who use hens in the
orchard state that the trees are pro-
tected from insects.
All manure should be in con-
dition to permit of spreading it over
the surface of the ground evenly,
as it serves as mulch during the
Winter, and is also rendered more
soluble and serviceable by Spring.
Varieties of fruit should be Sc
lected according to the climate and
soil. The kinds which produce
heavily on clay soils may not thrive
on sandy locations.
The Western Plowman" says: If
you have sowed but two bushels of
oats an acre, when next you have
chance try half bushel or bushel
more and watch the result. There
is no economy in thin sowing ofoats.
The extra bushel will not cost much,
and your reward will be satisfactory.
Ground for an orchard should be
as well prepared as for wheat or
corn. 1t should have natural drain
age, if possible; if not, by deeply
laid thing; trees will not thrive if
the roots are water. logged. The
young roots will need every aid they
can get from fertilization, as they
require plant food for good start.
A tree well planted is half grown.

Hogs and CrearnerIes.

The patrons of creameries should
not omit hogs as mediums for con-
verting the waste products of the
butter factories into something that
brings good prices. The profit de-
rived by those who patronize the
creameries is largely that which
they bring home with them at the
time of delivering the milk, and the
hog is, therefore, as useful as the
cow in neighborhoods where the
milk is delivered direct to the fac
tories.

FarnQ Notes.
Garden and Orchard.

When the tree is not doing well
there is cause for it.
A good way to make fruit trees
profitable is to feed them well.
Those who intend putting ont an
orchard next Spring should manure
the ground this Fall.
The ground in young orchard
should never be plowed too deeply
or too near the trees.
A tree with an open head is not
so likely to be attacked with mil
dew as the one that is crowded.
Destroy all the insect eggs hang
ing to the tops of young orchard
trees, or plastsred to the bark.
When large limbs must be cut
from the trees the stumps should
be coated, so as to project the wood.
Prune while the trees are young
and make yourself familiar with
the growth of each individual tree.
Glover grown in an orchard and
plowed under is one of the cheap
est and best ways to manure the
soil.
Bushel boxes for handling fruit
in the orchard and handler than
the baskets, and do not wear out
so soon.
Plant the seeds of good fruit. If
they do not produce the same fruit
they may produce that which is
equally valuable.
Evergreens that have not their
natural green look may be suffering
from lack of plant food. Manur-
ing on the surface is the best REM
edy.
In making your first venture in
fruit growing do not undertake too
much. There is much that can
only be learned by practical expe-
rience.
Fruit on the farm always helps
the selling value of the farm, even
if the trees are not old enough to
bear. The buyer will always take
it into account.
1t is not so much the growth Of
the fruit that exhausts the tree as
il is the formation of the seed. Re-
ducing the number of seeds by
thinning the fruit helps the tree.
All the fungous diseases of plants,
such as mildew. scab, blight, rust,
rot, etc, are contagious. They are
carried from year to year in the
diseased parts, be it leaf, fruit or
branch.
If all wormy fruit is destroyed
as soon as it falls the orchard can
eventually be freed from worms.
One advantage in allowing the pigs
the run of the orchard is that they
will do this work.
In transplanting nursery trees
into the orchard the tops should
always be cut back to correspond
with the roots. 1t is often the case
that there is not great quantity
of roots, so that what may seem se-
we're pruning is necessary.
Make the soil in the young orch
ard deep and rich at the start.
This, with light cultivation, will
give the trees vigorous start and
they will be better able to triumph.
over diseases and insect pests and
grow up vigorous, thrifty trees.
One reason why it is not best to
apply too much animal manure to
your grapevines is that it tends to
induce rank, coarse growth of
wood and foliage that is unfavora-
BILE to the production of fruit. What
is wanted is only a fair growth of
healthy wood.

storlnx yylnter vegetables.


washit. Whitewash makes cellar
cleaner and lighter, and it should be
done every spring and fall. Sui
phur is cheap and effective disin-
fectant. Close all cracks and burn
pound of sulphur by throwing it
upon red hot Goals in an iron kettle
placed in the middle of the cellar.
Then thoroughly ventilate.
A dry cellar is necessary to keep
vegetables in good condition; and
the dryer the cellar the less liable
tits to freeze A peck of lime placed
in the cellar and renewed every two
weeks will absorb a great deal OF
dampness.
If the butter is kept in the cellar
with the vegetables, keep it as far
from them as possible. Tie thick
cloth over the top of the jar and put
an earthen or wooden cover on top.
Set the jar on Stats to insure a
free circulation of air; if placed on
the cellar floor mold will form on
the bottom.
AS rule, beets, carrots, and roots
of all kinds should be gathered the
last week in October or the first
in November, though one must be
governed by the condition of the
crop. Cut off the tops with sharp
hoe, while the roots are yet in the
ground. But in the topping do not
cut into the quick. Pull after few
days. This work should be done
when the ground is dry. Take
root in each hand, knock them
gently together to jar off the soil.
This freeing the roots from the soil
is an important point in their good
keeping. Store in cool cellar in
barrels, with little moist soil over
them. Roots may be kept in good
condition all Winter by storing in
dry pit. Spread layer of straw over
them then earth over, to the depth
of 8 to 10 inches, and then a layer
of manure to prevent the earth from
freezing. Thus kept they can be
taken from the pit at any time dur
ing the Winter. They will retain
freshness until May.
Onions should be harvested in a
dry time, as they will certainly de-
cay if damp soil is left adhering to
them. Let them lie until thorough
ly dry before storing away. They
keep best in dry, cool, well-venti-
lated place. They may be perfect
ly preserved if spread on layer of
straw in a frost-proof garnet.
The essentials for the preservation
of winter squashes are, they should
be perfectly ripe, gathered on a sun
ny day before nipped by frost, care
fully handled and kept in a dry
place where the temperature is uni
form. If these hints are observed
satisfactory results will follow.
On a pleasant day, just before
freezing pull the cabbages and turn
them over on the heads few hours
to drain. Then hang up in cool
cellar. Another method is to take
one or more barrels, dig a hole so
that the barrel will be about three
fourths in the earth. Trim off the
outside leaves of the cabbage and
pack in the barrels as tightly as
possibly, Fill the mouth of the
barrel with straw, cover with piece
of carpet and throw on enough
earth to prevent freezing.
Dig the potatoes as soon as the
skin sets. Dig them when the
ground is dry and when there is a
promise of a continuance of fair

WASHINGTON LETTER

Comptroller Bowler still has the
center Of the stage, his coming
decision Of the constitutionality
Of the sugar bounty law being tile
principal topic of conversation ia
official circles. The Louisiana
congressional delegation played
their highest trump when they
told Secretary Carlisle that If the
money appropriated by congress
was NOT paid by their constituents
that tho state might as well be
wiped out Of the Democratic coll
umn, as it would surely become a
Republican state. What effect, if
any, this will have, remains to be
seen. If it be true, as has been
charged, that Comptroller Bowler
is only carrying out a prearranged
plan to keep that money in the
treasury, his decision will be
against the law, anyway. If on
the other hand, the president de-
sires this money TO be paid, twill
be an easy matter for him to find
q comptroller il Mr.. Bowler is not
convinced by the arguments made,
who believes the sugar bounty to
be. constitutional, and who will

al delegation, tho Louisiana sugar

The Former Thrown Into ths Midst Of
Dance.

GREENuP, KY, July PEA big
dance on Brushy fork Of Tygart
creek Wednesday night, which was
attended by a majority Of the
people Of that and adjoining neigh
borhoods, ending sensational
incident. George Daniels and Jack
Spencer we're rivals for the hand
of Miss Lolita West, and Daniels
accompanied her to the dance, n
proceeding which so enraged Spen-
Ger that he did not attend the
dance, but secured q companion
and went hunting, About 10
o'clock their dogs caught n skunk,
which they intended to take home.
On their way home they were
compelled to pass the house where
the dance was in progress, and
upon looking in at the window
Spencer saw Daniels and Miss
West standing a little closer to-
gether than he thought they shoulde
This further enraged Spencer 50
much 80 that he took the polecat
by the tail and threw it at Daniels.
His aim was not good and the ami
NAL struck Miss West squarely in
the face, nearly knocking her
down.
Daniels lost no time in getting
outside to see the author of the
unpleasantness, and seeing Spen-
Ger getting away, started in pur-
suit, overtaking him in few min
utes and brought him back to
where the crowd had gathered ont
side the house. Several modes of
punishment were suggested, but
the one that met the heartiest APP
prevail was the following, which
was suggested by Miss West, and
carried out Immediately: Spencer's
hands were tied securely behind
his back and the skunk fastened
to his breast in such a manner as
to make it impossible to escape
the foul odor arising from it. The
fellow was then told to go home, a
mile distant, followed by several
to see that he did not get the ami
NAL loose. The proceeding broke
up the dance and also won the
young woman for Daniels.

Jonathan Glove to Green.

The state press is making a great
ado about the statement that Uncle
Jonathan Quicksall, of Wolfe, had
deserted the Populi3ts and returned
to the Democratic fold. Uncle
Jonathan realizes that the distance
between the two parties is so small
that the transit is easily made.
Uncle Jonathan is quite good old
man and wants to help his neigh
Dor, Green Swango, because Green
helped him in his race for the con-
stitutional convention. We sup
pose that Green was as much Of a
Populist while he was helping
Jonathan as Jonathan is Democrat
while he is helping Green.
