date of May "a, 1888. The whole first
page of one of them was devoted to ad-
vertisements, with one small news item
almost completely concealed in the
right hand corner 1t was the account
of horse race, and verify so ashamed
Of its loneliness, bore the parenthesed
apology "(From last evenings edi-
tiOn)'.
The editorial page was covered with
small squibs, characteristic of the hu-
NOR Of sixty years ago, most of them
being very villainous puns, such as "A
fruit woman named Stout
Of North Gorden, Va, is ~ years old
Quite an aged sprout," and other SINH

Notes..

If you have any sour milk give it to
the hens.
Blood and meat are what will make
the hens lay.
The clover should be the farmers
emblematic flower.
Let poultry of all kinds fast about
twelve hours before killing.
Burn the rubbish and scatter the
ashes among the small fruits.
Turkey hens are generally profitable
until they are five years old.
1t is impossible to have good dairy
products without good feed.
The more you take from the soil the
more you have got to put back on it.
Cows in good condition make better
butter than cows ir poor condition.
Mutton or wool alone will not pay.
You have got to work the two in to-
gether.
The most successful business-this
includes farmers-are those who study
the markets,
Give the sows plenty of exercise be-
fore narrowing and feed so their bowels
will be free and their systems in a lax,
cool condition.
