The Word Gazette.

The word gazette" is from the
name of an old Venetian coin worth
about one-half cent Of our money.
The name is applied: to newspapers
because it was the sum charged for
reading the first written journals
that made their appearance in 1850.
After the paper was read it was
handed back to the owner, who
charged the next conner a gazette
for taking q peep at it. !

Good Manners at Homo.

Take your good manners home with
you. You cannot afford to be negligent
Of or rude to the people with whom
you live every day. Unfailing courtesy
In the family circle is the best possible
Investment to secure peace and har-
mony.
Etiquette differs in its outward mani
festations in different countries and
among people of different walks Of life.
In Europe the stranger makes the first
call. In England and this country the
resident makes the first call. In Eu-
rope the man lifts his hat to the wO.
man before she bows to him. In this
country and in England the woman
bows first. The habit of using the
knife as we use the fork is not utterly
unknown among foreigners, while with
us it is considered bad form. But 1t
was not always so regarded here. You
still see in out Of the way places the
old fashioned knife with the curiously
enlarged and rounded end. so made to
facilitate the eating Of peas.
Some continentals do not consider it
out of the way to use4tO0thpicks at the
table. They sometimes have chic little
jeweled weapons to use in this way.
Even a diamond trimmed toothpick
would hardly make the custom accept
able in this country. But then some of
our customs and manners probably
shock foreigners quite as much.
But, though it has many different
rules and forms, the underlying motive
Of etiquette is pretty much the same
everywhere. Its effort Is to embellish,
dignity and make attractive human 80
cial intercourse; also to simplify 1t
and make it easy without removing
those restrictions which make the diff
ference between civilization and saw
agery. Therefore do not put too much
weight on the small signs Of etiquette.
but never let go the large ideal Of 1t.

I LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

Dat straw makes, good rOughage
for idle horses when 1t Is well saved,
but feed little hay along with.it.
To groom the horse well after hard
work does not only clean the skin, but
prevents various parasitic diseases Of
the skin.
A horse that is hidebound will be
benefited If given little oilmeal Gin
seed mcalj. This must be begun in
doses OF. not more than b tablespoonful
at a feed and gradually increased to
nearly pint with the other food three
times per day.
In feeding aged steers qualify and
type are not so essential as in feeding
calves provided the purchase price Is
proportionate.
The busy bacteria gets busy in the
milk almost at the moment It is drawn
from the COW.
As rule, large flow Of milk is as
ISOLATED with a low per cent OF fat,
while a small dpw shows higher test.
No man is in a better position to
build up his soil than dairyman IL he
uses wisely the forces at his command.
The calf that is expected to develop
into a strong and profitable COW should
be given all the chance possible during
Its early period Of growth.
1t is a source of satisfaction to the
progressive dairyman to be able to
sum up at the end of the year just ex-
actly what every COW has done.

ability of any one with ordinary inge-

desirable as a reel such as one would

see their way clear to buy one. The
stand is made Of four inch by two inch
scantling for the sides and top stretch
ers and three inch by two inch for the

are wanted except in the case Of the
legs, where four are wanted. The con-

Do You Have Dizzy Spells?
It's Important to Learn the Cause,as
Many Charles Town People Have.

Dizziness is never a disease of itself
1T is only symptom of some deeper

These poisons attact the nerves and

THE FARM ORCHARD.

? 4 -
The time has come when good
fruit does not "jpst grow" with
out any effort on the part Of the
owner Of the trees. Neglect
means inferior fruit or none at,
all, and ultimately no trees on
which to grow 1t. As dangers
have multiplied means Of over
coming them have increased.
! Spraying is no longer job that
{ calls for the employment Of a
college professor. Anybody can
buy sprays ready made, can op-
crate the machines to apply
them, and can afford both sprays
and machines IL he has any
trees. No farmer with a small
I orchard could be blamed very
much for failing to spray his
trees when he had to make his
own material and apply 1t with ].
inadequate machines. But that
time IS past, sprays and ma
chimes are reliable and cheap,
! and the day Of universal spray
Ing is approaching. Some day
all states will require it by law
as few Of them do now.-Na-

GENERAL SPRING SEEDING.

Sowing BY liand-and' With The Aid 81
a,Dise Drill or Harrow.
Some men cam sow seed evenly by

seed broadcast by hand is that in most

evenly, In thick patches here and thin
patches theres<a the inexperienced
iirsnd, xdt may SOW more seed than is

thn1fafdfS Hntke,aoz1 ,nseHha seed
ers which distribute seed evenly na1d
in set amounts to the acre are cheap
and by all means should be used when
1t is possible to secure them. OF me-
chanical seeders for small seed there
are many different kinds, ranging from
the wheelbarrow seeder to the small
seed attachments to grain drills. The
wheelbafIQY. seedeE Is one of the best
Of these Kinds for one mah. use only.
Ebndmon SENSE .and GOLD farming
practice should teach. us that an seed
should be planted II it Is expected to
terminate and pro1uce a crop Of good
plants. Every year literally thousands
d Dusheisg of high priced seed are
wasted simply by Throwing" the seed
upon the bare surface of the soil to
take its chances with rains and ele-
ments. The reason so much of the
valuable seed is wasted isthat it never
@becomes covered with s0A; hence much
OF it never terminates and grows.
Much IS washed away by rains md
melting SHOWS. Some that does germi-
nate on the surface Of the soil never
makes good plants because the young
ROOTS are too near the surface They
are killed with the first dry spell of
summer.
Sowing clover and other kinds of
seed In February and March on snow
or ,honeycombed ground Is well and
good if after conditions are such that
the seed will sink into the soil deeply
and become well covered where 1t fell
without being moved. If the wet, al
ternate freezing and thawing soil will
really plant it, then 1t will be all right.
~ The surest way to plant small seed
of all kinds at any season is to open
the surface soil with disk drill or
disk harrow, SOW the seed so it will
fall into these small burrows made by
| the disks and then cover with smooth
| ing harrow. With some disk drills
where the soil is medium dry and fri
able the seed will be sufficiently COW
cred with the drill drag chain attach
/ pents, thus saving subsequent mechan-
zeal covering. 1t Is as foolish and
wasteful to place wheat, oats, rye, bar
ley, cotton or any seed on the surface
soil and allow it to be covered by
chance as, it is to sow small seed in
| the old style way without being GOV
cred. Small seed must be planted the
same as large seed, and when farmers
come to realize this important fact less
/ good seed will be wasted and much
surer results will be secured.
