THE FARMERS HOME.
1t Should BE CHEEKY and II efined and
Placed Amid the Most Pleasant
Surroundings.

1t should be the aim of every farmer
to provide himself and family with
comfortable surroundings. The home
should be bright, CHEEKY and refined.
1t should be in fact the brightest spot
on the whole farm. It should be the
place where the father, after tE>
evening meal, may take his paper and
the mother, after the little tots are
tucked in bed, her work. and sit down
and enjoy their hard-earned rest, or
talk over the events of the day. Make
it an oasis in the children's lives. Give
them every opportunity possible for
an education. Furnish a family liz
brary well stocked with the best of
literature and if the child is of class
ical turn of mind, he or she will soon
acquire a knowledge of all branches
of study. After making the home in
viting and entertaining on the inside
we should give our attention to the
outside surroundings. We should
build good fences, have nice grassy
lawns and pastures free from weeds.
The cattle should be sleek, the swine
fat, and the horses plump. There
should be driveways between the rows
of trees, and walks laid to every out
house. If possible to construct it,
large fshpond, with a, rustic summer
and boathouse near it would be a de-
light to the children and an incentive
to their doing their share in making
the home happy. One of the chief
causes of the boys leaving the farm is
the disorderly homes and surround
ings frequently found on the farms.
We should strive in every way to make
our neighbors enjoy life. Organize
libraries and form literary societies,
in fact, do anything that will relieve
farm life of it's dull monotony, and
when we have done all that lies in our
power we shall feel that we have
fought good fght.-M. H. Mertins, in
Priarie Farmer.

POISONS FOR INSECTS.
Pure Paris Green or Green ArsenOid.
Applied in Liquid Form, IL
Always Effective,

It will soon be time again for using
polsons to kill all sorts of injurious in
sects. The first application have to
make usually is on my fruit trees, to
prevent the ravages of bud worm,
cigar-case bearer, etc., and to be effect
i've the applications must be made very
early, or as soon as the buds begin to
open, and repeated soon after. Paris
green has for many years been my
main reliance as an insect poison. If
pure and properly used it is reliable
enough and harmless to the foliage. I
have always preferred to apply it In
liquid form, and if used in this way the
addition of lime surely prevents in
jury-to the foliage, liable to occur
through the action of the free acid in
the Paris green. For two or three
years, however, I have used green
arseno1d in place of Paris green, and
always had very satisfactory results
from 1t. This newer poison is lighter
than Paris green and stays in suspen-
sion IN water; requiring far less ''con-
slant stirring" and besides is much
cheaper. SO long as can get such re-
suits from arsenoid I shall use it in
preference to Paris green. But where
the latter (being more available in
most out-of-the-way places) has to be
used there is need of caution in order
to get the pure article. Some of the
samples of Paris green on the market
are reported to be badly adulterated,
and it this is the case best results can
not be expected from their application,
and much loss of labor may be caused
thereby. Be sure you get a genuine
article. You may make your purchase
now and testi it. In New York state the
Geneva experiment station, believe,
offers to test any sample sent to it,
free OF charge. But each buyer and
user of Paris green may just as we'll
help himself. Pure Paris green dis
solves perfectly in strong ammonia,
giving beautiful clear blue LIQUID.
Put little Paris green in a vial or
small bottle, pour little strong am
monia over it, cork it up and shake up
we'll. If the clear blue LIQUID is OBJ
tanned without mud-colored sediment
you may be sure that the Paris green
is all rlght.-Farm and Fireside.

Angora Goats as Broyyser.

A close observer will notice there ara
many upland or mountain farms that
have some pieces of pasture too drv
and perhaps too rocky to yield profit.
The past few dry seasons have brought
in bushes, briars and weeds that have
robbed the land of tame grass for tho
making of good quality of butter.
Such cheap land pasture is where thu
angora goat will thrive best, as thew
prefer bushes and briars to grass, and
will thrive and grow fat where shee,
will starve and cows cannot live. An
CORA goats are very prolific, will live
about three times as long as sheep and
their mohair will bring about three
times the price of common wool.-G.
n. Bloodgood, in Farm and Home.

| ence the king was won over. She
persuaded the monarch to consent to
the match, urging that her son had
set his heart upon it and that to pre-
| vent it mi ght be followed by serious
consequences. It is said that the
queen has determined to divide her
immense fortune of $25,OOO,O0O be-
tween her two sons, Bernadotte and
Eugene. Miss Wild's fortune is large.
She will be the second beautiful
Baltimorean to win a royal husband,
the other being, of course, Miss Pat
terson, who married Jerome Bona
parte, brother of Napoleon I. In this
connection, however, it is interesting
to recall the fact that Prince Eugene
of Sweden is descendant of one of
Napoleon's marshals, the famous
Bernadotte, founder of the present
royal house of Sweden.
Eugene of Sweden is one of the
most interesting princes in Europe.
Those who have followed his career
are not surprised to hear of the ro-
mantle match. He is handsome
young fellow, highly educated and of
artistic temperament. He has no
fads or vices, and from his youth has
been attracted toward serious and
artistic pursuits. When a mere
youth he wrote the words and music
of song that received national &C.
claim.
The wedding, which will take place
soon, will be a private affair. It will
be celebrated in a little Catholic
church in Paris, in the Latin quarter.
| where the pair have been accustomed
to attend service together. The GER
emory will be attended by intimate
friends of the pair, the king having
expressed the desire that the mar
rage be celebrated as quietly as pos
sible.-Philadelphia Press,

BONE GARDEN NOTES.
HOW D1scOurngement and Failure
With Berry Bushes May Be Sue
cessfully Avoided.

One finds scores of country gardens
where an attempt has been made in
previous years to cultivate the .rasp-
berry, the blackberry, or, perhaps,
both, and where Encouragement and
failure have resulted. A Country GEN
tleman correspondent thinks it is pos
sible so to order a few rows of berry
bushes in the family garden that they
will produce fruit year after year with
little attention, given at the right
time, and he offers the following hints
to that effect:
The old canes or the poorest of them
must be cut out each spring. The new
wood must be thinned to a proper de-
gree and the tops of all canes cut back.
This is but few moments work each
spring. Now, to save all labor possible.

TRELL1S FOR BERRY BUSHES.

let the row of bushes be arranged in
small clumps four feet apart in the
row and protected by such trellis as is
shown in the sketch. Inch and half
stuff is used for lengthwise and up
right supports, while the clumps of
bushes are held in compact shape by
two pieces of lath at each clump. At a
distance of four feet the tops will
nearly meet each other, while the
stalks at the ground can be worked
about with ease.
l would cover the entire ground be-
tween the clumps and between the
rows, if there are two or more OF
these, with coarse meadow hay put on
thickly. This keeps down the weeds
and many berry sprouts and keeps the
ground always porous, moist and cool,
conditions that are especially attrac-
tive to raspberry and blackberry
plants. Once a year this mulch will
have to be renewed, as it gradually de-
Gays and becomes worked into the soil,
adding hulus and making the earth
lighter, more retentive of moisture
and! richer in the material that the
berry plant requires as food.
Practically, then, the only care the
bushes need is an annual pruning and
mulching. A little attention now and
then to the few struggling weeds and
shoots that force a way up through
the thick mulch will, of course, be re-
quired, but first and last there will he
less work in this way of caring for the
bushes than by any other that is or
dinarily practiced. The gradual dying
out of once thrifty bushes that one
sees in so many farm gardens is due
almost wholly to lack of proper thin
ming out and pruning and to the chok-
ing of the bushes by grass and weeds.

brought me here, so look out for d
master stroke on the part of Har-

She flashed bright smile at him
and was out of the building and into
the carriage before he could reach
her side and give her any assistance
Barney used his whip and just as his
team started along the street toward
the railroad track Col. Keever and his
followers broke from the hotel and
raced back in the direction of the
Blizzard office.
Guy halted stock still and held his
breath. The carriage was upon the
men and almost past them before
any attention was paid to it. 1t was
the Colonel's fortune to catch first
sight of the ladies who were leaning
back on the rear seat in the shelter
of the side curtains.
"There they are!" cried Keever
"Stop that team! Catch the horses
heads!"
But Barney piled the lash vigor-
ously and before the Colonels COM
panions were able to act on his
warning the carriage was beyond
them all and whirling it's passengers
rapidly away.
The road to Harmony led past the
depot, across the railroad tracks and
then bore off to the left.
With fresh team and good
start there is no doubt but that
Barney would have distanced his pur-
suers had not the road been unex-
pectedly blocked.
The noon train suddenly drew up
to the depot platform. 1t was a
long train and SO completely OBJ
structed the way that there was no
getting around it with out turning
squarely about and retracing the
street for full block. Such a
move would have been disastrous,
for the pursuers were not more
than hundred yards behind. A yell
of triumph went up from the Threats
of Col. Keever and his men.
Guy started at run for the scene.
Before he came anywhere near the
carriage, however, he saw Miss
Vlandingham and Miss Pinl<ney de-
scend from it and hurry to the train
A brakeman helped them up to the
steps of the nearest car, signaled
''go ahead" to the conductor and the
latter gave the word to the en-
gineer.

The Edges of the CARPET.

It is the part of wisdom to examine
the edges of the carpet often in the
spring. If'the carpet is not to be taken
from the floor remove the tacks, turp
back a half yard all around the room
wipe the floor and spray with benzine
in the cracks or use little carbolic
acid in the water. Then replace th<

GRADERS STRIKE GOLD
On the E. P. & S. W. Line Betweer
 Fairbanks and Tombstone.

Considerable excitement was created at Tombstone yesterday, when the news reached town that the graders on the F. P. & s. w. had struck a gold bear ing ledge a mile and a half from town. says the Bisbee Review.
 The railroad contractors have three grading outfits at work on the line be- tween Fairbank and Tombstone The last one was at work yesterday cut ting the granite hill to the right of the Schefflin monument. near the old race track, when the men with their picks broke off part of a ledge. exposing to view rich gold-bearing ore. in which the free gold was visible with the naked eye. The discovery created consider able excitement, and the boss of the grading gang proceeded to locate two mining claims in quick succession. This is the second instance on record where railroad building in Cochise county has led to the discovery of a mine. and fur ther demonstrates the fact that Co., chise county is ribbed with rich min eral lodges still uncovered.
