Notes.

There is no. such thing as keeping
milk pure and sweet in dirty milk
vessels. They must be frequently
scalded and well dried. Cold water
won't clean milk vessels.
| A coating of paint or even of
whitewash will make great differ
ence in the appearance of a place,
and the materials may cost only a
few dollars. A bright-looking farm
gives contentment to its occupants.
A tool house, or place for every
tool, would save much time. When
the time lost from searching for
tools is estimated if it can be done)
it will be demonstrated that the
cost is sufficient in some cases to
purchase a complete outfit of tools,
Absorbents are intended to alb
sorb, and it is therefore better to
cut up the stalks and other materi-
ais thrown into the barn yard rath-
err than to depend upon cattle to
trample them down, as the stalks
may not be reduced for quite a
while, and in the meantime some of
the most valuable portions of the
manure will be lost.
Kerosene is the best remedy to
prevent rusting of tools. Keep a
supply in convenient place, dip a
soft sponge in it, squeeze the sponge
and moisten the implements with
kerosene. 1t will save implements
from loss by dampness, and also
lessen labor by keeping them bright
and clean.
All fancy pigeons, such as barbs,
pouters, tumblers, carriers, owls,
fantails, Jacobins, magpies, etc.,
may be kept in the same loft, but
should first be mated, as once they
are mated they become monoga-
nous, and the breeds do not cross,
each couple having its nest and at
tending to its own young. Pigeons
may be made a very attractive fea-
ture for the young people.
Many farmers do not draw the
line in feeding. They give the
growing stock the same rations
which are allowed to fattening ami
mails, and make no distinction be-
tween Winter and Summer feeding,
other than to use the pasture in
Summer. 1t is a waste of food to
give corn and ground grain at every
meal in the Summer, unless mod
erately, and it is of no advantage
to have young stock very fat.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1896-06-13

Healthy fowls pick up their food
quickly and relish it.
Generally the more active the
breed the less liability to fatten.
There is no gain in keeping roost-
ers after the Matching season is over.
1t is good plan when feeding
whole grain to fowls to scatter it out
we'll.
Ducks and geese require little
grain when they have plenty OF
grass.
Early layers depend upon the
stock and upon the way they are
raised
Many poultry disorders are
caused by alternate gorging and
starving.
Geese are at their best for breed
ing after they have passed their
third year.
Success in the poultry yard is
not go much in the hacthing as in
the feeding,
Ducks do not have the cholera,
Group or gapes, and hawks do not
bother them.
With all kinds of fowl, regularity
of feeding is of more Importance
than the quality.
Fowls should not be confined
more than is necessary, unless they
are being fattened.
Young chicks have very little
storing capacity. They need to eat
frequently or they will suffer.
Kill off all poor layers, poor moth
ers and imperfect specimens as soon
as in a marketable condition.
A fast growing bird will attain a
certain size and weight in about
one-half the time of a stunted bird.
One advantage with late-hatched
turkeys is that they can be given a
free range much younger than those
which were Matched earlier.
Late Matched chickens should be
we'll fed and kept growing if posi-
BILE. Unless this can be done, they
will never make large birds.
Poultry do not need coddling or
pampering, but clean quarters, pure
water and plenty of nutritious food
to keep them growing steadily.
Keeping fowls on hard floors or
runs will frequently cause swollen
feet and legs. They must have
loose grounds to scratch over. 1t
will do them good in various ways.
Little chicks require almost twice
as much food as little ducks, but
they grow very rapidly. They
should be fed four or FIVE times a
day, especially when the growth is
to be pushed.
Let the extra feeding be given at
night, after they have been prompt
ed by their appetites to do the nee
essary roaming during the day,
picking up insects, scattering grain
and other materials.

FARM Notes.


Many successful gardeners claim
that cucumber seeds retain their
vitality for eight or nine years, but
/ prefer to use seed not over three
years old. Experience has taught
me that it does not pay to plant
doubtful seeds of any kind. If they
fail to terminate, much valuable
time of the growing season is lost
by replanting, and if they do pro-
duce plants they are often so spind-
ling that they are not worth cult
vatlng. / prefer white spine for
both table use and picking. The
vines are vigorous and produce
abundantly. The cucumber is of
good size, and the flesh tender and
crisp. When young it is deep
green, and, being we'll formed, makes
nice pickles. When ripe it turns q
clear white, the flesh is solid and
tender, and makes excellent sweet
pickles. Six or seven hills will
probably furnish enough for FAM
lily of five or six persons.
AS early in May as the ground
becomes warm and dry dig holes
about foot deep and 6 feet apart
each way. Place a bucketful of
poultry manure in the bottom and
stamp down firmly, then add or
6 inches of mellow soil to the top,
on which the seeds are planted and
covered II inches deep with we'll
pulverised soil If possible plant
in freshly prepared soil, pressing it
firmly over the seed with the back
of the hoe. Place eight or nine
seeds in hill, and when all danger
from bugs is past thin to three
plants. Make the hills level with
the surrounding surface. Low hills
stand the drouth better than high
ones. AS soon as the plants are out
of the ground they will be attacked
by little striped beetles. Lose no
time in destroying them. Wood
ashes, air-slaked lime and SCOT are
effective remedies. Personally, |
prefer to sprinkle white hellebore on
the plants in the morning while the
dew is on, The sprinkling should
be repeated after each hoeing and
after every rain. A convenient con-
trivance for applying insect destroy
ers is made from a large baking
powder can. Select one upon which
the cover fits tightly. Punch holes
in the cover with shingle nail, and
you have all the apparatus needed
for killing VINE insects. Give ire
quent but shallow cultivation. Keep
the ground mellow and work the
soil around each plant. This work
must be thoroughly done the first
of the season, as the plants will
soon make runners so long that
cultivation will be impracticable.
If the weather is drouthy | use
soapsuds, dish water and all slops
from the house to- water the vines.
| consider slops from the house and
laundry valuable stimulants for all
kinds of vegetables.

HARRoD WITHDRAWs.
His Letter to the Democracy Full Of
Patriotism and Party Fealty.

Hon. James H. Harrod, above his
own signature, has given out to the
Arkansas press, his withdrawal card
as a candidate for Governor, 1t is
short but to the point, and comes
from the man who loves his party,
though that party has just admin
isttred a chastisement to him, and
his fealty partake of that nature
the child bears to a parent after
being drawn over the maternal
knee and the slipper applied-the
smart hurts but the instinct of love
remains. Mr.. Harrod is still the
dutiful child to his party, and he
will always remain so as long as the
Democratic cock continues to crow
at the masthead of the Democratic
press. Here is his card
To the Democrats of Arkansas:
am no longer a candidate for
governor. The platform upon which
| stood as a candidate and the prin-
ciples that expect to always advo'
cate are we'll known to all My po-
sition has not met the approval of
the people and the Office to which |
aspire is their property, to be given
as they prefer. The future alone
can determine whether my position
was best tor the country, So far
as am concerned | have no doubt
that time will vindicate the justice
of my position and the correctness
of the platform upon which | stood
as candidate. No language at
my command can express how
grateful / feel to all who have looked
with favor upon my aspirations, In
retiring from the contest | desire
to say that though defeated, | am
none the less a loyal Democrat,
proud of my party and its glorious
history, and that l will stand ever
ready to labor for its supremacy in
the township, county, State and
nation. Very truly,
JAMES II. HARRoD.

THE ROSE BUD CLUB.
The Largest Crowd Yet Assembled
Out at Spring Lake Park,

Out al spring Lake faIk'
The Rose Bud Club, composed of
the adolescents of our city, from
the best families, under the leader
ship of Frank Smith, gave an en-
joyable dance at Spring Lake Park,
on Friday night
The street cars had all they could
do in accommodating the great
crowds that applied for passage
from the city. In one instance, the
car going east, had to be turned
from the regular run and put back
to the park in order to relieve the
burden then on the summer car.
After the load was taken of the
summer car and transferred to No.
s, the reporter counted just AZ re-
naming on the same, and you can
imagine the jamb on the cars.
By 8 o'clock there we're scattered
over the park two or three hundred
of our very best citizens, and on the
dancing platform, many were dan
cling.
The night was very chilly, and
those who came there without
wraps, looked the picture of dis
tress, and on this account many
left for home before eleven and by
half past, the last car left the
grounds.
Some enterprising Young man
had erected himself an ice cream
and cold soda water stand near the
dancing stand, and notwithstand-
ing the prompter for the dance
would call out at the end of each
dance, to promenade to the ice
cream stand and treat your part
ner, the reporter did not notice a
single treat, though there might
have been spasmodic case now and
then. We heard an adolencenteer
say to his adolecentress that it the
youth who was dispensing icicles
would change to hot lemonade, he
would set EN- up, and she smiled her
assent to his generosity.
The band engaged for the occa-
sion, was composed of four "cullud
persons" and they tortured some
right good dance music out of a
base violin, two small fddles
and clarlonet.
We noticed many people setting
around the large oak trees, whose
names have escaped our memory,
and who went out more as a com
pliment to the young people than
to take part in the festivities of the
evening,
Some thirty couples only, partici-
pated in the dance, and we omit
names, as the list is too long and
too incomplete, as furnished u.s. to
publish, for we find many names on
the list, of parties whom we know
were away from home, while we
know of parties being there whose
names do not appear at all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan T. Leary, Mrs,
Wisdom, Mrs. Paul Jones and Mrs.
John Taylor were the chaperons,
and they had their eyes on the Mas
ters and Misses during the entire
evening.
Mr.. Whitley was on the grounds
and aboard the cars during the eve
ming and kept his service up to the
best standard.
We hope the young people will
have better evening as to weather
for their next party and that moth
ing will mar the occasion.

CORBETT- SHARKEY FIGHT.
National Athletic Club Not Anxious to
Pull 1t or.

National Athletic Club Not Anxious to
Pull 1t or.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l6.-The posi-
ton taken by the National Athletic
club in the matter of the Corbett-
Sharkey contest, occasioned very little
surprise among the sporting men here,
as that organization lost its prestige by
its failure to bring off the Choynski-
Maher battle. Both Grom and Gibbs
hedge their offers about with a lot Of
conditions which make it exceedingly
improbable that the contest will ever
take place here. J. J. Grom a y that
under no circumstances will the club
now offer more than $40, 900 for the
Corhetr- Sharkey contest, and admits
that he would not be a bit sorry if the
fight should be delivered under the
auspices of some other club. Gibbs
says the fight is not worth as much as
it was a week ago, or before Corbett
signed to fight Fitzsimmons, but the
club made a bona fide offer of $50, 900,
and is willing to stand by it. He says
there are two places where the fight
can be brought off, but for business
reasons does not care to give their
names. He practically admits that the
reason for requiring the two pugilists to
make such large deposits is that the
club expects to sell concessions to the
]kinetoscope people, and to receive sub.
sides sufficiently large from the rail-
road and the town in which the contest
takes place to pay the purse.
Then the expenses of the pavilion,
which will be comparatively small, will
be paid out of the receipts. The rest
will be profit. In order to make advan-
tageous terms, the National club must
give a guarantee that the fight will
take place, and to avoid any risk, the
club wants the pugilists to put up their
coin. Then if the expected arrange
ments as to subsidies do not materialize.
it will not have to put up its w $780,.
900 at the end of 10 days.
