FACTS FOR FARMERS.

experienced gardener recommends
putting a toad in the hotbed to hold
insects in check.
RAISE calves from your best cows
only. Send the others to the butchers
as soon as old enough.
IT is bad principle to spend all
ones capital and trust to fortune for
the rest, or think that the land will
take care of itself
YOUNG animals are sometimes slow
to drink cold water. Be patient. 1t
does not pay to drive them away from
the trough before they have drunk.
Cows CANNOT be fed by strict rule.
Each one must he fed according to her
requirements, and If she requires more
than is profitable she should be sold at
once.
THE road question and the school
question are intimately joined, for
when our roads are perfect it will be
possible to have one central graded
school in every township.
THERE is more in the man than in
the COW good many times, as far as
profits are concerned. Some men get
fair profit out of their herds that
other men would lose money on.
PORTABLE creameries are the best
and cheapest inventions that have yet
been brought out for the farm dairy
They do not cost much to begin with
and are perfectly reliable and easily
operated.
RADIsH is hardy plant. The seeds
terminate quickly, and the young
plants start off at once, providing'a
supply on rich soil in few weeks.
Kale is another hardy plant, and the
seed may be planted very early.

Simple WAY OF Measuring Land.

The devices for this are numerous. l
have a simple plan. There are 4, $40
square yards in an acre. Any line of a
certain number of yards will answer to
measure the field. If a square, or
quadrangle, multiply the length by the
breadth and divide the number of
square yards by 4,s4o and you have the
number of acres and fractions thereof.
If the field is of an angular form, then
measure the length, and to get the
average breadth measure across the
ends, add together and divide by two
and you have the mean width. l have
practiced this plan for near fifty years.
For ordinary work | usually measure
by stepping off, accounting step u
yard. One can, by practice, measure
very near correct.-Colman's Rural

Failures in poultry raising are due to
the fact that too many make haste to
GO into the business instead of grow
inginto il. Inviting and simple as the
business atfrst seems to be, there are
dozens of things that can only be
learned in the school of experience.
The merits of the different breeds for
special purposes are to be considered.
There are various diseases to be en-
countered and tact and experience will
be required to SO diagnose the case as
to be able to apply the proper remedy.
A little practical experience is of more
value than much theory.

Iron tn. Reporter, Somerset XVI

from bn3 IOepOfV5F, OOluoTSOb' hJ'J
Among the foot hills OF the Cumberland
Mountains near the town of Flat Rock is
the happy home Of James McPherron.
Four months ago the daughter Of the fam
lily, q happy girl OF sixteen, was stricken
with St Vitus' dance. The leading physi-
clans were consulted but without avail. She
grew pale and thin under the terrible nerv-
Gus strain and was fast losing her mental
powers. In fact the thought of placing her
in an asylum was seriously considered Hor
case has been so widely talked about that
the report Of her cure was like undermining
miracle of old. To reporter who visited
the homo the mother said:

ness and cure are true as you hear them.
Her affection grew into st. Vitus' dance
from an aggravated form of weakness and
nervous trouble peculiar to her sex. Every
source of help was followed to the end, but
it seemed that physicians and medicine were
powerless. Day by day she grew worse I'M
til we despaired Of her life. At times she al
most went into commissions. She got 80 that
we had to watch her to keep her from wan
dering away and you can imagine the care
she was.
"About the time when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fed, / read of
another case, almost similar, that had been
cured by a1cine known as DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Almostin desperation secured
some Of the pills and from that day on the

with the color of health, she gained flesh

Farming That Does Not Paw.

We recently came across farmer,
cultivating $50 acres of good land,
working hard and trying to live eco
nomically, who said that he would not
make his expenses this year. He had
some cows which he kept only for beef
breeding purposes, buying his milk and
butter from neighbor. The day we
were at his place his wife was anxious
to serve nice dinner, so she sent into
town to purchase some green vegeta-
bles, there being no room for garden
on the farm. When we saw these
things we had no doubt of the truth of
his statement Can any man make
money farming that way?-Rural

To Get Rid of wild onions.

The only practicable way to get rid OF
wild onions is by means of systematic
and short rotation and the use of
smothering crops. Plow the land be-
fore any top sets are found and sow
field peas, two bushels per acre. Cut
the peas. for hay and chop the land
over with cutaway harrow and SOW
in;,Augnst crimson~clover at rate of
fifteen pounds per acre, with thin
scattering of winter oats. Cut oats
and cbver together for hay and put
the land in corn and follow with win
teroats and red clover. BY the time
this oat crop comes off the onions will
be about gone.

WHENEVER man who is or has been
prominent becomes i'll or dies the coun-
try is at once flooded with misstate-
ments concerning his life. The case of
ex-senator Malone, of Virginia, is the
latest striking instance From the
time he was stricken down with paral-
ysis the misstatement mill has been
steadily grinding. One prominent
newspaper writer stated over his own
signature that General Malone and his
family were blue blooded f. F. V. ar
stocrats, and that so long as he re-
manned in the democratic party he was
rich and prosperous in business, idol
lied for his war record, and his family
the pets of the highest society, but that
after he became republican he and his
family were socially ostracized, and
his business Disseminated against unit
he was gradually driven to bankruptcy
About the only true thing in the whole
article is what is said of his war record
The people ofSouthampton county, Va.
where General Malone was born, and
where he has relatives now living
would smile at his being called an arts
tocrat, and old citizens of Petersburg
where he has lived since the war woul(
do likewise upon being told that the
Mahones ever were social pets. Ma
hone was plebeian born. He was {
civil engineer and helped to build tn,
Norfolk & Petersburg railroad, which
was part of the A. M. & o. sys
TEN, of which he became president af
ter the war, at a salary of $95, 900
year. He came out of the war poor, ~
he entered it, but his war record mad
him railroad president, and the Dos
of the democratic party of Virginia
which position he maintained until for
bearance ceased to be virtue. Abou
the time his control of the democrati
party was broken he also lost his rail
road job. Then came his organization
of the readjuster party, his flop to tn
republicans and his term in the senate
He was credited with being a rich ma
and was lavish liver and a DARN
speculator, but since he left the senat
he has been known simply as q lobby
list. His bankruptcy was the result G
bad investments some of which wer
shared by democrats, instead of thei
driving him to bankruptcy. In Pc
tersburg the Abcial status of the Ma
homes is as good as it ever was. Gen
eral Malone was a great soldier and
brainy man, but when that much
said it is best to stop.
