Advice About Manure.

Don't buy stable manure unless you
can get it at very low prices. 1t is of
uncertain quality, especially that
made in town or city stables, which is
usually the only kind on the market.
Professor Voorhees, says that 20 tons
of city stable manure at $1.50 would
cost $50, while $11 would buy an
equivalent amount of actual plant
food in chemical fertilizers. Freight
and carriage are much less, and the
question is whether one can afford to
pay the extra price simply to get the
vegetable matter or humus in the
manure. Even it can be more cheaply
obtained by plowing under green
crop. Make all the manure and COM
post possible on the farm, but when
it comes to buying it we have the inn
preston that farmers pay about twice
what the stuff is worth. Gin New
Jersey commercial fertilizers are rela-
lively cheap and city manures COM
paratively dear. American Agricul-

Reserve store of Honey,

Frames of comb honey should al
ways be provided during the honey
season for the purpose of having a re-
serve store for the bees in winter and
spring, if at any time they stand in
need of it. 1t is an easy matter to
thus save out frames of sealed honey,
and they can be put to the most profit
able use in thus furnishing the bees
in time of need. 1t is equally as inn
portant during early spring, at the
time the bees are breeding rapidly, to
keep them we'll stocked up with frames
of sealed honey, and all colonies that
have good reserve of stores will al
ways come out in the best condition,
and will have good force of bees
ready for the honey harvest when it
comes. During the breeding season,
in spring time, bees consume a large
amount of stores, and, if at any time
they get short, they will suddenly
stop breeding and will not resume
business again until good honey
flow sets in. The careful apiarist al
ways watches this and promptly sup
plies the deficiency.-The Epitomist.

adapted to the w. nts of the great ma.
jority of consumers.
We notice in the Country Gentle
man an article on that subject which
we in part produce, and call the at.
tention of our buttermakers to the
statements made therein. These
statements and the theories advanced
are in accordance with our own belief
that has been proven often by prac-
tice. We have made statements here.
tofore on sundry and divers occasions,
that butter properly made is better
ten days or two weeks old than at any
other period in its history, and it
ought not to go beyond its best estate
for four weeks. This statement has
been contradicted and disputed fre.
quently, but the trend of sentiment is
coming in that direction. Hear what
the correspondent of the Country
Gentleman says: "Much is said of the
flavor of butter and cheese, but gen.
orally on one side, and that ON the
wrong side. The individuality of the
COW and feeding are the two main
points as the cause of fine OF bad
flavor of this product. Little is said
or thought about the curing of this
product, although it is in curing that
the best flavor is developed in them.
The best butter thirty years ago
was made in the summer time and
picked for winter sale. The manner
of business is now changed, doubtless
for the reason that the methods of the
dairies have changed. But what then.
The purchaser puts it away in cold
storage and keeps ituntil winter when
fine butter is scarce, then brings it
out for sale. There is too much fine
butter made in the summer, and on
this account the price is too low for
satisfactory profit. But we should
understand that butter can be cured
as well as cheese, and gain by age,
during which an individual ripening
goes on very slowly, producing the
fine flavor desired by most consumers.
The vapid fresh butter that goes to
the market in warm weather ripens
quickly, and by the time it gets to the
consumer it is ready for the table.
But this curing may be slowly effected
by cold storage in the dairy, and much
of the ripening goes on slowly until it
is perfect, when the winter market is
ripe too"
The quality of goods taken out of
cold storage the past fall and winter
is good evidence of the fact that but
ter is benefited by curing process,
and that it is better product after
being held for considerable time for
general use than when strictly fresh.

Artichokes for Hogs.

For the past four or five years one
of my neighbors has planted an acre
or two of artichokes annually for his
hogs and have watched his success
closely to learn, if possible, whether
or not it was practical venture, and
as a consequence have come to the
conclusion that they can not only be
handled with the utmost safety but
are an excellent and cheap food for
hogs, says G. P. Reynolds of Michi-
gan. The tops are also valuable for
cattle and sheep. The stover is cut
and shocked very much as one cuts
the corn crop. Stock eat the stalks
quite as readily as, if not more so
than, they do the corn stover. Where
the ground is rich an immense amount
of coarse fodder can be grown on a
single acre.
Some writer's in speaking of the
artichoke give the impression that
they are difficult, in fact impossible,
to exterminate. Such an idea is en-
tirely erroneous. If they are sown in
lot where hogs can be turned in on
them there will be absolutely no diff
Guilty along this line, unless, of course,
there are more tubers than the herd
can use, in which case all that is nee
essary is to turn in more hogs. If
you put a lot into artichokes under
the impression that once sown you
will reap forever, the chances are you
will find yourself very much mistak en-.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM,

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val.
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhna badly, and
terrible bearing-down' pain which
gradually grew worse, until l could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
81 took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. 1 was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in a
paper. / sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles l felt as strong and we'll as any
one.
"I think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is q wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all cxpectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

Art Works as War Spoils.

Works of art, it has long been sup
posed, have ceased to be considered
legitimate spoils of war. Many will
be surprised and panied to know that
the custom has been revived by the
conquering Turks in Greece. So long
ago as last summer an order was sent
by the director of museums at Con-
stantinople to the commander in chief
of the Turkish army in Thessaly to
transport to the capital all antiquities
which he came across during the oc-
cupation. This has been done, and,
what is more, the European powers in
settling the treaty of peace appear to
have ignored, if they did not actually
assent to, the spoliation.
All that could be done was done by
the French school at Athens, which
obtained permission, at the advice of
the French Consul at Volo, to photo
graph every piece and every inscrip-
tion before the deportation. Literary

Sometimes the most thrifty tree in

ing with fair degree of remunera-

that whenever remunerative price
can be obtained for extracted honey it
will not pay to feed it back to the
bees to finish sections.
At recent institute northern or
chardist denounced the practice OF
raising hay OF oats in the orchard as
especially bad, for it removes from the

fruits between the rows as these
would pass away before the apple
trees came into bearing.
The San Jose scale, so called, which
is fast becoming terror to the fruit
growers of the East, was introduced
into California from Chilli. But it did
not originate there. Entomologists
are divided as to whether it is of Jap
anese or South American origin. The
parasite which has been found so de.
structive to the scale is following it
up closely, and in California has in
creased to such an extent that the
scale is held well in check. It is in
creasing in numbers in the East also.
I have made special study of the
farmers method of raising poultry
the past few years, and have also had
considerable experience myself in car
ing for them and watching their habits
and susceptibility to various diseases,
and have formed the opinion that up
wards of rs per cent. of all sickness
which fowls are subject to originates
with vermin. I have also recently
read an article in popular poultry
journal on this subject which places
the percentage still higher, to quote
their own words, Ninety per cent. OF
all diseases found in fowls are directly
or indirectly traceable to vermin. y

The Mind as a Diseasc.producer.

We know that congested liver pro-
duces gloom, perhaps leading to sui
eide; another kind of gloom is per-
haps due to congested spleen; dis
orderly heart produces apprehension
of coming danger; certain intestinal
conditions produce fear; morbid con.
ditions of other organs mar the sense
of strength and manhood or womanli-
ness. We know also few converse
truths: That gloom or despair may in
duce iaundice; that good news will
make the heart beat vigorously; that
cheerfulness will calm and regulate
its beat; that fear and anxiety may
paralyze digestion. DIR. Herbert A.

Girard, the famous French painter,
when very young, was the bearer of a
letter of introduction to Lanjuinais,
then of the council of Napoleon. The
young painter was shabbily attired
and his reception was extremely cold,
but Lanjuinais discovered in him such
striking proofs of talent, good sense
and amiability, that, on Girard's ris-
ing to take leave, he rose, too, and ac-
companied his visitor to the ante
chamber. The change was so strik-

There are only two conditions under
which ashes may properly be mixed
with stable or other nitrogen
GUS manures. One is when the ashes
have already been saturated with nj
trogen and their caustic properties
have thus been neutralized. The
other is when stable manure is to be

will then greatly hasten its fermenta-
