FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Make the best start possible with
the better milk development secured
with the first calf the better results
it is possible to secure.
A frightened or uncomfortable COW
will give poor milk.
A small Babcock tester and little
attention occasionally in testing sam
pies of the different cows milk with
a record of weights taken once week
will put the farmer in possession of
facts worth dollars.
Feed very little corn, if any, dur
ing the summer months Ground or
hulled oats make the basis of an ex-
cellent summer feed, and with little
wheat and millet added we have a
nicely balanced grain ration.
Good luck is not acquainted With
lazy poultrymen.
Quality counts more than quantity,
in the poultry yard.
By proper care" is meant personal,
intelligent supervision.
Sell the young ROSTERS as fast as
they come into the best market. There
is much waste in keeping too many
roosters.
The poultry that is having the run
of the orchar now is serving we'll
their day and generation.
1t is pity so many people don't
know how many chickens they raise!
Pick the geese and ducks regularly;
somebody will want the feathers.
Accustom the colt to the cares2es
of your children, but not to their
cruelty or tricks. A pet is easily
broken to saddle or harness, while a
wild one from the far-off pasture,
which has never felt restraint or
| earess will fight for his accustomed
liberty and may do great injury be-
fore he is conquered.
When clover fields are infected with
the root borer, allowing them to stand
but two years will help to subjugate
the pest in any locality.
In the spring the muscles of a horse
are soft and they tire easily. Let
them take it easy until they become
accustomed to work and then you can
push on the lines

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts-
Hands Pinned Down-Mirac-
nlous Cure by Cuticura.


when my little boy was si- months
old he had eczema. The sores extended
SO quickly over the whole body that we at
once called in the doctor. We then went
to another doctor. but he could not help
him, and in our despair we went to
third one. Matters became SO bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough to put finger into. The food
had to be given with spoon, tor his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over and over. We had no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore. think his face must
have itched most fearfullv.

and / had made up my mind to send my
wife with The ciil6 to Europe, hoping that
the sea air might euro rim, otherwise be

FRUIT BOXES.

Sir.-An article on the market page
of Saturday, News, headed Does
Box Hold a Quartz is timely, though
inaccurate in some respects. 1t gives
the dimension of the square quart
box as AZ inches by Az inches by 21A
inches, and the capacity as so cubic
inches. The article also states that
the oblong box holds legal quart
and the square box less than a quart.
The fact is, the shape of the box
has nothing to do with the capacity,
as there are short quarts in all
shapes, and some of them hold but
little over pint, as exposed for sale.
The package used at this fruit
farm is the square box, Az by AZ by
215 inches, inside measurement, hold
ing practically go cubic inches, level
full The fruit is then piled on top,
so that the top layer of boxes with
elevated bottoms of five-eighths of an
inch) will just fit down without crush
ing the fruit. The top layer of boxes
in turn are filled just so the lid
will go on without crushing the fruit,
I1O 44u uC1LlS SuASAOAI4y 1A6A cHN'S
the top of the top layer of the fruit
to allow of nice rounding up of the
boxes.
Filled IL this way, boxes of the
capacity mentioned hold good hon
est quart when they leave the pack
ing house, and consumers get what
they pay for. And am glad to say
most of the Parke County fruit grow
ers use these full standard packages.
The fruit box joke, like the mother
in-law joke, has no doubt some good
grounds for it's existence, but there
are some good mothers-in-law and
also some honest quart boxes, and the
thing to do is for all to be made
good, or at least uniform.
The News could be of much service
to the public generally if it would
agitate the question of uniform pack
ages for small fruits, and fruit grow
ers who are trying to do straight
business will not object if that pack
age be full dry measure capacity. Il
The News will give this matter some
attention, think the next Legislature
could be compelled to enact a law
covering the points mentioned.-Tom
Trueman, in the Indianapolis News.

THE CRUEL CHECK REIN.

More and more horsemen are COM
ing to see the cruelty and folly OF
THE checkrein and are dispensing
{ with it. An English paper uses the
following illustration against it:
"The master who compelled la
borer to do a stiff piece of digging,
wearing a high collar and tight coat,
would be rightly condemned; yet the
man who makes his horse work ham
pered by a hame-rein is acting in a
similar way. The horse is prevented
from lowering his head and throwing
his weight into the collar, and so is
forced to move his load by sheer
strength, which takes it out Of hiIa
much more than if he could use his
weight as well. Those who understand
the structure of the horse condemn
hese reins as harmful; they spoil the
horses mouth by chucking the bit;
when tight, they give him sore mouth
and frequently force the top Of the
lTindpipe out of place. They hinder
him at work, and strain his back and
legs, while he cannot rest when stand
ing with his head up. They are both
cruel and unwise for it is sheer folly
30 to treat al horse as to wear him
bat sooner than is unavoidable.
There Is no reason at all for using
hame-rein, except in one case, the
race-horse of a team working on land.
Even then, if there are driving reins,
lhe hame-rein is not needed. Its only
hse being to keep the animal from
grazing while at work. But suppose
HE rein is used, there is still no need
or it to be so short as to annoy
he horse. He ought to be able to
but his nose quite down to his knees,
Ind certainly should be able to pull
bis load uphill without the constant
checking at the bit, caused by the
Aame-rein as commonly used. In no
base should the rein be sewn into
the bit; it should only be put on
when absolutely necessary, and it
should be- so made that the carter
Aannot shorten it. The hame-rein is
dot used IN Scotland in either town
pr country, so that if the Englishman
leads in excuse that he cannot man
Lge without it, he shows that he is
both helpless and ignorant"

THE CULTURE OF SQUASH.


Grown in garden or field the squash
is heavy feeder, and must have an
abundance of fertilizer to do well.
1t prefers, also, moist soil which,
to keep the under surface moist,
should be underdrained by vein OF
quicksand. 1t will then respond read
yily to liberal application OF good,
fine, thoroughly rotted barnyard man
ure; especially so if the ground was
broken up early in the spring, and
the weed growth kept in check by
cultivating the top soil to a good
depth until planting time.
Anywhere from the first to the mid
die of June, according to latitude and
variety, the seeds should be planted
Before it is done, however, a large
shovelful of well-decomposed barn
YARD manure should be placed in each
hill, in addition to the previous fer
4 tilization; other conditions being
equal, this will stimulate the young
plants to a rapid growth.
The hills should be made at least
eight feet apart, since if closer to-
gether there is apt to be crowding,
which means an excess of vines, and,
q accordingly a loss of fruit; and to
s insure q good stand and admit OF the
plants being thinned as their growth
q demands after the beetle season is
past, from a dozen to fifteen seeds
should be dropped in each hill. Scat
tered about somewhat, they should
be covered with finely pulverized soil
to the depth of not over three-fourtns
of an inch.
AS soon as they come up thorough
1tillage should begin and continue IN
It'll the vines cover the ground. Deep
and often tie dirt should be stirred be-
tween the hills and rows and the
y Surface about the hills raked over
with garden rake. Any crust forma'
ton around the plants will thus be
broken up, and that assists not lit
tile in their growth. After the dan
ger from insects is past, three stalks
are enough to leave in each hill.
If not closely watched at the out
lset, however, there may soon be none
left at all. The stripped yellow
beetles alone are capable of running
4every squash in hill during an hour
|or two of bright, sunny morning. Is
suing from the earth in myriads, as It
were, they will often pounce upon
the tender leaves ere they have hard
ly seen the light of day. Land plas-
tier, with which has been mixed kero-
sene at the rate of a tablespoonful TO
a quart measure, should be sprinkled
about to keep them away. Used in
line, few representatives. are better.
For exterminating the black or
brown bugs, which appear later and
smell so extensively, the best way Is
to place some bits of wood, as
shingles, around the hills. They will
collect beneath these to pass the
night, and may therefore be caught
and killed each morning. Next comes
the cut-worm, which is the most diff
built of all to combat, in that not I'M
til the mischief has been done is its
presence manifest Hence, it is q
wise precaution to SOW wood ashes
and lime in the squash hills and about
the vines before this worm gets a
chance to do any harm. Planting
squash in new place every year
helps their escaping, to some extent,

FIGURES ON PUlPWOOD.
Returns Give More
than 100000 Cords.

The work of the Forest Service in
gathering statistics of forest products for
the past year has furnished the basis for
a provisional statment of the wood con-
sumed in the manufacture of paper pulp.
Returns from 1859 firms, controlling 232
pulp mills, give over 100000 cords as
the total amount of wood used.
The wood used was divided among the
various processes as follows: Sulphite,
1,53S,000 cords: soda, 100000 cords;
ground wood, l,Oos, 900 cords. The total
pulp PREDICTION by all processes by the
firms reporting was l 1893, 900 tons. Ac-
cording TO the census of 1900, the con-
sumption of pulpwood was then 1886, $40
cords, so that there has been an increase
of over so per cent in the last six years.
This demonstrates, in striking manner,
the drain upon the forests caused by the
pulp industry.
A final and detailed statement of the
kind and quantity of wood used for pulp
in the various States will be issued as
soon as possible.
