A PrinceIy occupatiou.

Farming always was a prineely occu-
patton, and so II will be TO the end of
time. The farmer may not wear such
fine clothes as the occupant of the city;
but what of that? Is he any less the
man because of that? What though his
hands be hard, and his feet be roughly
shod? Shall we give him less regard !?

for man privileged to be born in the
country than that there he should re-
main, that there he should labor and
live, and love, and die, while engaged
in the safest and surest of all callings :?
Nine men out of every ten who set up
in business fail. There Is not one In
score of farmers who becomes bank
rupt. As long as the world lasts there
will be seed time and harvest. How
pre-eminently wise, therefore, to go on
and SOW In hope and reap in Joy, and
at the end of the harvest to show our
gratitude by uniting with happy hearts
in holding harvest festival every

Confinement Of swim.

Confinement of swine Is not conducive
to healthfulness and lack of exercise
prevents proper development OF the
body, making 1t much more susceptible
TO disease than when the animal is Civ
en- wide range and variety of food,
says a writer In an exchange. I'VE
hear a great deal of late in regard to
producing bacon, and fault is found
with our corn-fed hogs because they
are usually too fat. 1t is an old adage
that there are none so blind as those
who do not wish to see.' and the fact Is
plain TO those who understand the sit
uatlon, that no meat we can produce
would be acceptable to European ma
tons.
THE pork produced in the corn belt
of America from hogs raised on clover
pasture and finished on corn is not to
be compared with that made in Europe
from all kinds of swill and refuse, fed
in filthy sty. There Is not and cannot
be better or more delicious pork pro-
duced on this globe than that made
from grass and corn when the hogs are
handled, and this fact taxes to
the utmost the greatest of European
statesmen to circumvent its production
among their people"

horticultural Hints,


Better thin the fruit than prop the
tree.
California has only one-thlrd of crop
In peaches and apricots this year.
Peach trees often fail to do well, es-
pecially on old land, for the want of
mineral plant food.
Do not plant trees in the garden One
large tree, even In a corner of the gar
den, will spoil good portion of 1t.
There is no better red raspberry than
the Cuthbert 1t succeeds everywhere,
and under high culture is exceedingly
productive of high-flavored and large
berries.
The best plants of the blackberry and
red raspberry are obtained by cutting
strong, vigorous roots in pieces, four
or Ave inches long, and planting about
eight inches apart in drills.
There Is room for the hybridizer In
the case of gooseberries. Our native
ones are too small, and the foreign ones
too much subject to mildew. Seed
lings between two generally result In
an Improvement.
In the flower garden, as well as the
vegetable one, 1t should be remembered
that when plant is permitted to ripen
seeds Its growth for the season is about
over. The moral is to cut off all decay
ing flowers as soon as they are per-
ceived, that growth and other flowers
may succeed.

Cults steal from Ducks.

Thousands OF big white gulls and
countless numbers of water fowl have
been driven by cold weather to the
South Jersey coast, where they find
plenty Of food during the wintry days.
At the upper end of Sea Isle City, New
Jersey, bar juts out into Corson's
Inlet, and this spot seems to be favor
Its place with the birds. Sand crabs
and CLAIMS form the principal food of
the birds. The CLAIMS find little protec-
tion within their hard covering, for
nature has taught the gulls way Of
reaching the contents.
Catching large clam in their talons
the birds rise skyward to a height of
twenty or thirty feet and let the bivalve
fall to the hard beach below This
method Of clam-opening usually Is sue
cessful at the first attempt.
The large Skua gulls are not altogeth-
er dependent upon themselves for what
they eat. They are inyeterate thieves.
and not only will steal from one an
other. but they will rob the ducks of
many hard-earned morsel.
All winter long large fiocks of ducks
find feeding ground on the bars in
shallow water just beyond the break
ers. The gulls Will loiter near by, and
when duck dives down and comes to
the surface with a bit of sea food in it's
beak 1t is pounced upon by the big
white winged rascals and forced to give
up its catch.

Northumberland wh,tewa.b.


We are frequently asked for a good
whitewash for farm buildings and
fences. Here Is the recipe for the
whitewash used by the United States
Government for the lighthouses and
beacons, chosen for its permanence I'M
der the most extreme exposure to the
weather. Fresh hydraulic cement Of
any good standard kind, not of the
more costly imported kinds, three parts.
and clean, fine sand, one part, are mix
ed well with cold water and immedi-
ately applied. This gives light, brown
ish white that is not so glaring as the
common lime and has been found to re-
sist moisture better than any other
wash. 1t adheres to brick or stone or
wooden walls or fences very firmly. In
Its application the walls are first wet
with water, by which the adhesion of
the wash is made stronger than IL APP
piled to dry surface.
Another good wash Is made in this
way: Half bushel of good fresh lime Is
Stacked with boiling water and kept
covered from the air during the slack
Ing to prevent weakening of the lime by
the carbonic acid OF the air. 1t Is
strained through fine sieve or cloth
and seven pounds of salt are added:
three pounds of rice -four boiled to
white and one pound of broken glue,
stepped in cold water and then dissolv-
ed In hot water, are then added, and
when well mixed by stirring, Ave gal
Ions of hot water are mixed In and the
whole again stirred. This is kept few
days closely covered. when it Is ready
for use. 1t Is applied hot, being kept
In kettle over fire. This may be
colored a little brown by burnt umber,
or cream yellow by yellow ochre. A
light gray is made by adding a small
quantity of lamp black previously mix
ed with water and thoroughly stirred.
One pint of this wash covers square
yard.
A wash for fences or barns Is made
thus and will last for FIVE years: Half
a bushel of fresh lime Is Stacked strain
ed and three pecks of hydraulic cement
are added, with water sufficient to re-
duce It to proper liquid condition Ten
pounds of burnt umber and one pound
of Venetian red are well mixed dry
four ounces Of lampblack killed with
sufficient vinegar are then mixed with
water and added to the other materials.
The whole Is diluted to make a barrel
Of thirty gallons. 1t must stand few
days and be frequently stirred before
used
A wash for inside work that will not
rub Off is made of one pailful OF COM
mon lime wash, to which Is added thin
