?ROOMING COWS IN TICK STABLE. j
; ' j. Much of the comfort aud thrift dl a
cow tied up in the stable depend! on
frequent brushing and rubbing to dear
* off the dirt that wilt otherwise accumulate.
In the field, at pasture, cows manage
this matter -themselves, rubbing
against a post or tree; but in the stable
there is more need of the currycomb and I
; brush, and they get less of it. The !
diversion of blood to the skin keejM the J

..-"'that. so large a proportion of cows are
N,>* kept in stable the rear through, their
grooming becomes a matter of increasing
importance. Try your cow with the
brush, and see if she does not like it,and
Tespond by better condition iu every way.

When an orchard has become badly
infested with borers, it will require con,
aiderablc labor to exterminate the pest.
The trees must be carefully examined
every year duriug the winter or spring
months, and every grub cut out or otherwise
destroyed. We prefer cutting

The greatest danger threatening a new t
tending of grass and clover, or either of j |
them, is the drying of tlie soil by a cold |
wind or a dry, hot spell after the seed- 1
ing. If the sowing has been superficial :
and the seed has thrown out roots on
the. surface one. hour's drying will lie |
fatal. But if the seed has been covered ,
an inch, before the seed leaves or the
rpire appear above the surface, the root i
has gone down three or four inches and 1
nide roots have spread as far on each |
side. A dry surface does not injure such ',
plants. Two weeks of dry weather will i |
not. kill them, and if protected by the
thadr of a growing crop they arc entirely
tafe from any ordinary drought, 'hie
other point should not lie ignored : This
is the adcipiati! feeding of the young
grass, all the more requisite if another;'
crop has licen sown with it. Iiiimodi '
itclj' after the grass seed has been covered
in, .'100 or 500 pounds of complete I
artificial manure should he sown on the )
lurfaee, or it might he sown by another ;

To get the large yield of potatoes we

For sets, says Joseph Harris in thr
American Agriculturist, the essential
points are rich, clean land; the best of
seed; sowing as soon as the frost is out
of the surface of the ground, and drop
ping from twenty to thirty scc<t* in each
inch of row. Keep the ground well
hoed and absolutely free from weeds. Do
not embark too extensively in the busi
ness at, first. I have growu thent for
many years, and am perfectly willing tc
tell all I know about the matter, but
there are many little things absolutely
essential to success that can bo learned
only by experience. One year I lost ?
crop because the soil was too dry at tin
time of sowing. Seeds have to absorb
moisture from the soil before they car
germinate. The land may be moist
enough to start two or three seeds in an
inch of row, but not to furnish moisture
for ten times that number. This is one
reason why very early sowing, while the
ground is moist and we are likely to have
frequent rains, is so desirable. I sometimes
obviate the difficulty by soaking
?... r.?.. i.i...r
"" " j ^ n '
sowing?changing the water two or three
times. I have kept the seed, after soakin"
in a warm room covered with moist
sifted moss till they sprouted. If they
sprout before the ground is ready for
them, put the seed in a cold place so as
to retard the growth. I hnvc grown tine
sets in this way. Lust year I grew
equally good sets by drilling in the seed
in rows tlltccn inches apart with a seed
drill. In any case do not fail to put on
seed euough, unless you want more
bushels of pickling onions than bushels of
sets.
Handy land is considered best for sets.
But they will do equally well, ami sometimes
better, on a well drained and well
pulverized clay soil. The trouble is to
Tet the seed into the soil early enough in
pring. . It is here that good judgment
uid previous preparation of the laud arc
cquired. The crop is a profitable one,
itid it is well worth while to learn how
o grow it successfully. It is a great
nistake to suppose that poor land is desirable.
On the contrary, ouic:r sets rcluirc,
in my experience, very rich land.
\ ton of high grade fertilizer, or 50O
pounds of superphosphate and 50 1
pounds nitrate of soda per acre, can lie
used w:th great advantage.
FARM AND OAUDKN NOTES.
There is as much in planning as in doing
farm work.
An early, healthy growth of a plant
wards off many evils.
Never mind about the color of the
rows; it is the color of the milk that |
ells.

on the garden.
Kvery dairy farm ought to produce all
the grain fed on it and grow more productive
all the time. The help to care j
for the runs can do the necessary work I
to grow the grain.
If a hen lays soft shelled eggs, give her |
plenty of gravel, oyster shells, sea shells ;
and crushed bones (which material she J
needs to make hard eggs shells of), and i
this evil will oftentimes be corrected.

It is not generally known among farmers
that the same food that makes a

cattle, the farmer gets about five cents a
pound for his dressed beef, while butter
i;oup is a mean disease and kills many
valuable fowls every year. An ointment
t,nade of one tablespoonful e:ich of lard
and kerosene ami twenty drops of carbolic
aci.i. melted together and applied twice
a day with the finger on the part elTected
will cure. If you have never tried this
it is worth a trial.
Fowls need far more care during damp,
rainy weather than during the clear, cold
weather .of winter, or the dry, warm
weather of summer. Dampness engenders
numerous disorders, many of which are
difficult to cure. Therefore, it is better
to use preventive measures than to administer
medicines when too late.

"Sheriff Brown had been elected in
Penobscot County, and hud made his son I

P'-tcr* "presided at the first term, and in
the middle of the forenoon announced a
recess of fifteen minutes, lie retired to
the library and soon became immersed in
some legnl books, looking up some points
of law. When the time mentioned had
expired the jury cante in, but the .finite
did not. The llrown boy, who was
anxious to have everything go off in good
shape under his father's administration,
grew nervous and at last made a bolt for
the library. Walking in and pulling out
his watch, he tnppcd the Judge upon the
shoulder and said: "Come, Mr. Peters,
you've not to hurry. Your time is up
and the folks are a-awaiting." The

"Chip of the Old Block.*
At a recent banquet a bright youn^* theologian
told a very good Rtorv on his respected
father, who is an old and tried
member of the cloth. An is well known,
the theological students, before they begin
the formal prat tire of theology, are
required to preach a sermon before an assemblage
of the gray-lxards of the
church, who have pounded pulpit eush
Thl? is a moat trying
omca^ior the students, and they go
through with palsied knees and quiver*
ing lip. The young theologian in question
was well known to the ministers of
the denomination, as his father had been
of their number for years, and, as the
old gentleman was naturally proud of his
boy, the young man's effort was listened
to with interest by all present. To tell
the truth, the old gentleman was a bit
disappointed, but the young man was
dreadfully embarrassed in the presence of
his elders, and did not do himself justice.
As he walked slowly home with
his father the old gentleman said, after a
long pause: "Charlie, that was a regular
schoolboy essay of yours." The young
man was about to make some excuse
when one of the dominies who had been
Jireseut, walked up In-hind him, slapped
he boy on the back, and said : "Charlie,
you're evidently a chip of the old block."
The old gentleman made no further criticism
of his son's first effort.--IChicago

The l>ootjaek is one of the implements
of domestic welfare and warfare that has
gjone out of date along with the boot, but
it is occasionally found on farms and in
small towns, where the boot is still worn,
or noisily worn still. Once in a while |
1 the bootjack is found in a great city in ,
the bedroom of some old gentleman who
is not too proud to allow a pair of boot- r
legs to wriggle bis pants up to liis knees. J
Over on the West Side there lives one of
these old gentlemen. He is a club man ]
and somewhat convivial in his habits; {
i accordingly the tmotjack is often quite a n
help to him in retiring. One night last
week he returned home from the club
and was unable to find bis bootjack, lie r
started to hunt it up, but as be noisily I
encountered one chair four times he gave c
up the search and sat down to pull off j
his lioots unaided. As he tugged and c
IK-rspired his wife arose in bed, saw what j
le was attempting, and said severely: .
1 "Henry, why don't you use. the bootIT..

could not find it, and like nil men he f
i wns ready with an excuse. " Martha," t
' he said solemnly, as he paused and wiped 1
t i the sweat from his brow, " I was rending (
in the paper to-day of a man who, while (
: ' removing his boots with a bootjack, lost
I his balance, fell backward, ami broke (
I his collar hone. Martha. 1 am taking no
' more chances." Then he resumed his t
' task.?[Chicago Herald.
