Farm Notea.

Farm Notes.
Asparagus tops should be cut of
close to the ground and burned. The
soil should then be covered with rot-
ten manure. This fall treatment will
help to prevent the rush next year and
to insure an early growth Of grass.
A spring dressing of nitrate Of soda
will be an additional help.
Lime, sulphur and salt make n dead.
~ mixture for scale insects in climates
SO dry that the coating will not wash
off. In the California climate this
wash slowly decomposes and gives of
poisonous vapors, which destroy the
insects under it. Rains spoil this ef-
feet and leave on the trees only a coat
Of ordinary whitewash.
Trenching is done in Ireland in this
manner: Remove the top soil from a
strip one yard wide and a foot deep:
then spade the subsoil we'll and spread
plenty of manure over 1t; throw the
top soil from the next row on the sur
face soil Of the first, and sow for
seed until the whole plot has been
trenched. 1t will produce heavy crODs
for several years.
A barn or stable should be kept be-
tween fifty and sixty degrees tempcra-
ture in order to derive the best re-
suits. In some cases this cannot be
conveniently done, but as the animal
heat is about ninety degrees, the tenn
perature of the stable will have more
or less influence on the quantity of
food required, and hence, the warmer
it can be made in the stable in winter
the better.
1t is sometimes cheaper to restore
an old orchard than to plant a new one
and wait for the young trees to grow.
This may be done by judicious pruning
and removing all of the dead wood,
then manuring the ground in the fall
and applying fertilizers In the spring.
The manure must be used literally,
first lightly stirring the surface sol!
and then applying the manure. which
should be well worked in when ,p-ing
opens.

the vulgarity which has long been SO

Econ O m ical FertilizinR,

economical Tcrt1l1ZtuHs
There are many farms throughout
the country whose owners cannot at
ford to fertilize them heavily or even
to give them the quantity needed to
keep them In fair condition. AS re-
suit such farms are running down be-
cause the crops consume more fertiliz-
ing material than is supplied by the
farmer; in other words, the crops are
drawing too heavily upon the stored
UP fertility of the soil just as men
sometimes draw too heavily on the
stored-up or surplus vitality of their
bodies.
Any soil to do the work required of
1t should be fertilized SO that it will
be as nearly fertile after the crop Is
taken from it as 1t was before, hence
fertilizers must be supplied in excess
of the needs of the growing crop. To
bring up rundown farm is not an
easy task, especially when one is ham,
pered in the free use of fertilizing
material, but it may be done and in
expensively by the combination Of
green manures, commercial fertilizers,
stable manure and tillage.
Rely mainly on the legumes such as
cow peas crimson clover and the vel
vet bean for humus and nitrogen; use
stable manure scattered thinly over
the ground, and for commercial fer
tilizers use mainly those richest in
potash and phosphoric acid. Supple
ment these fertilizers by frequent and
thorough tillage and the farm will
gradually improve. In growing any
crop one should have all the knowl-
edge possible of what plant food that
crop will take from the soil in the
greatest quantities, and in fertilizing
apply that particular food In excess
OF the needs Of the crop at least to
the extent that is taken from the SOIL
This is complex study. but one
which surely needs close attention, for
upon 1t depends largely the future re-
suits from the farm.

When the nail has been removed, fol-
low the puncture through the sole or
frog to the soft tissues, then fill the
cavity with a solution made Of equal
parts Of gum camphor and carbolic acid
and pack with cotton. This treatment
should be repeated daily until recov-
cry is complete. Where this treatment
Is promptly and properly carried out
nail wounds in the foot of the horse
rarely result in abscess and suppum-

occurred remove all loose horn and
dress with cotton saturated with the
solution given. The cotton should be

Brushing Beauty Out of the Hair.

DruSnlnK bcauty Tut OF the Hair.
The most famous hair dresser in
London has startled the fashionable la
dies Of England by warning them that
In following old traditions they are
brushing beauty out Of their hair.
''The inctssant brushing of the pres.
ent day is ruinous to the hair" he says.
Some women used to give their hair
one hundred strokes Of the brush night
and morning and have good hair in
spite of it.
IAN new hairs appear first as soft,
delicate fuzz, easily pulled out or de-
stroyed. Stiff brushing will wear them
out, just as it will wear out the nap
of cloth. The hair roots try to make
up for the destruction. They are fore
ed into abnormal growth, and their life
force Is depleted. The old hair is
falling. The new hair is not being al
lowed to live and grow. The life force
Is being exhausted. The hair gets
thin, struggling, unhealthy, dies ont
altogether, and there you have the
bald woman or man."

GAME IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.

Reports Seeing Thousands. Of Elk.
Minneapolis Journal: Nearly 1000
lowstone, is the count reported by
Howard Eaton, of Medora, N. D.. who
was in Minneapolis yesterday en- route
east. In addition to maintaining the
dairy herds at the Yellowstone park
posts and hotels, Mr.. Eaton does an
extensive business as wild animal
broker and keeps closely in touch with
conditions in the big game country.
He is man who lately bought the
Flathead herd of buffalo, and it was to
place some of these animals in the
government herd that he made the
January.
Settlers have been coming up into
the Jackson's Hole country south of
the park and Mr.. Eaton says their
presence has somewhat restricted the
range OF the big game. This he thinks
is the main factor in the death of SO
many elk lately reported by telegraph.
He thinks the report exaggerated, how
ever, for never before had he seen
big game so numerous in the part of
of the country. For four days in the
national park Mr.. Eaton was accom-
ian and by Lieutenant Cullen, of Fort
Yellowstone. They kept count of the
big game along the trail and here are
the memoranda made from day to
day
Jan. 10-Within four miles of Gard
ner on trail, 600 elk. 400 antelope, &c
mountain sheep, mule deer and Vir
ginia deer never out of sight.
