A STAND OF ALFALFA.
There h much inquiry as to proper
i net li<ids to lie employed in the start
>np ni a stand of alfalfa. In reply to
m inquiry along this line from a
Nebraska correspondent Professor
t'Umles E. Bessey has written as fol¬
lows : In tho growth of alfalfa it is
necessary first of all to take very great
pains to fit tho soil for the young
plant H. I he ground must bo rich and
mellow. Unless it lias had legumes
growing upon it it should be treated
to a gooil quantity of barnyard manure
in order to supply the soil with avail¬
able nitrogen. Then when the alfalfa
has obtained a foothold it will there¬
after supply itself with all the nitro
gfti it needs, Prepare the ground
with great care and have it like a gar¬
den as to mellowness and freedom
from clods. Sow the seed as earlv as
possible in flic spring, but do not HOW
it. on auother crop, as we generally do
wit li clover. It is well to sow a peck
*u* hu of oats per acre with the alfalafa
simply lo afford a little shade to the
voting plants, Wince the field ought
to Iasi many years when once a good
stand is secured it will pay to take
groat pains with it. Do not try to
si ed too large a field at once, but be¬
gin with a few acres so as to give those
Uk greatest care aud add to the area
each year. Iu this way success is
reasonably certain. But do not at
tempt it without seeing that the soil
is rich in nitrogenous matter, Put
on barnyard manure freely.

LARGE OR SMALL COWS.
ll is just a little difficult to see how
PrulVs.Nor Alvord arrives at the eon
elusion that larger cows than those
usually accepted as “about right,” are
Ibo more profitable, at least it seems
difficult- to make his conclusions aud
tlie figures of tho Chicago test, ap¬
plying weights of cows and results,
ngvee ; and if we see clearly, the cows
umfi v 1000 pounds weight have a good
working advantage, and one entitled
: o consideration in making up a table
0 conclusions, writes John Gould.
We have a doubt if the result of
averages could bo kept as high with
the larger cows as smaller ones, for
we take it. the Professor is declaring
that four cows that weigh 4500 ponuds
are better than five cows weighing 909
pounds each.
The Chicago ,„r, figures hardly warrant
■ j doubt j it c dairyman , *• .
uu>, ana „., \\o one , in
100 will consent to the practice of
keeping 1100 and 1200 pound ones, this!
aud the matter ut last rests on
What does each individual cow do
with her ration? And then it comes
down to this Will ten small cows
consume more and make less than
seven other cows that weigh as much
as the ten?
If the large Jersevs at Chicago are
grouped, and tbe smaller ones of like
number, there is but little difference
in the ponuds of butter made ou the
dviTage, but it is suggestive that the
la cow. weighing almost 1101
pounds, consumed $22.31 worth of
I.uul to make 147 pounds of butter,
Willi the little cow, weighing 791
pounds, consumed $22 worth of food
and made 179 pounds of butter; and
if another pair is taken, the large
cow, weighing 1079 pounds, making
199 pounds of butter at a food cost
$27.22: and the little cow weighing
776 pounds that made 188 pounds of
butter on $23.19 worth of food, we
think lit tie cows are still holding
their own This last makes the cost
of the butter of the large cow thirteen
and one-half cents, aud the little cow
12.4 cents; while that of the first
mentioned large cow would cost 12.6
cents per pound, which looks as though
small cows were the cows for the
butter-making farmers. —Practical

Lime as a fertiuzer.
Lime has long been need in Penn
sylvania with good effect, also in Eng*
UnA and Ireland and other European
countries. Tim reason why it is not
used much ill New England is perhaps
due to the comparative scarcity of
limestone in most parts of this section.

pose, or where there is not enough de¬
mand to warrant the building of a kilu
for the purpose, the shells may b< ini*
perfectly burned in a heap, construe*
ted with alternate layers of
shells and firewood, and cov*
cre< l over with a layer of sods to
retain the heat, leaving a smoke
hole in the middle ou top. It is not
necessary to use very good wood for
thin purpose. A layer about a foot
high is first placed on the ground, a
I ftrge part of which may be branches
and brushwood ; on this a layer of
nearly a foot of shells, then another
layer of wood, and go on uutil the pile
about five feet high; the sides of
the heap should be slanting, so that
when the heap settles from the burn¬
ing of the wood the pile will not fall
open. The covering of sods will need
to be replenished when the fire burns
too hotly. After the wood has burned
out and tho pile has cooled down, bo
that it may bo easily handled, it
should be slacked and spread as soon
as convenient upon the land; any
lumps of unburnei shells that may
have escaped tiie heat of the fire
should l>e picked out and reserved for
another pit.
We believe that in this way a dress
ing of lime might be cheaply prepared
wherever shells can be had, and the
labor would be well repaid in the iu
creased fertility of the soil.- Massa¬

A well fed healthy hog takes his
food quietly, goes to sleep when his
appetite is satisfied and converts his
food into fat or meat.
See to it that tho sitting hens have
fresh water and plenty of fattening
food, and do not neglect the supjily of
gravel and the dust bath.
While in some cases it may be ad¬
visable to help ducks out of the shell
it will ho an exceptional case when

When shipping poultry see to it that

enough to endure rough handling.
Tho man who makes a mistake this
year will be the one who neglects to

Producers who ship honey, ex¬

prevent leakage, which is a loss to all
concerned and an injury to the trade.
A cow that calves in September will
give milk all the winter, when butter
is most valuable, and be dry in July
and August, when butter is cheapest.
Saving a horse's strength xvithont

and on rising ground exhausts a horse
rapidly. Drive slow through such
pitfalls.
When tho bees are building comb
or raising brood they must have water,
which should bo placed in shallow
troughs with floats, that they may not
drown. If located near a small body
of water, that will be sufficient,
Bees never make an attack while in
quest of honey or on their return uu
til they have entered the hive, says a
writer. It is only iu the hives and in
the vicinity that we may expect them
to manifest this irascible disposition.

A POOR PRINCESS.
m The estate of the Hawaiian
Princess Kamlani, young
the condition of
which has just been reported upon by
its trustee, A. B. Cleghorn, shows us
that the British bred girl, who gave
Americans a peep at her a year or two
ago has not very much royal pelf to
sustain her title with. The inventory
of the estate comprises a bushel basket
of articles of jewelry, some sugar stock,
a little real estate and an interest in
property left by her mother, the Prin
cess Like-Like. The Princess is intel

A STRING OF TNSET GEMS.
Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt’s famous
string of pierced diamonds always ex
cites not only admiration but wonder,
They are all magnificent solitaires,and
through the center of their superb
cutting runs a gold wire,which fastens
them together. Thusa string or band
of brilliant light goes around the fair
neck of the beautiful wearer. It is
said that Mrs. Vanderbilt's idea in do
ing this was to secure a glimpse of
diamonds only—as if they were unset
—as she has a great fondness for the
stones, and likes to hold them in her
hands and admire their colors in their
unset state. To have three or four
dozens of these wonderful stones, as if
uuset, and yet so they can be worn,
was a dream of hers when she was a
penniless Southern beauty, with only
beauty aud fine family to recommend
her to the young millionaire's fancy,

A TONIC FOR THE HAIR.
The use of oils on the hair has gone
out of fashion, but there are many per
sons to whom something of the sort is
almost a necessity. The hair becomes
so dry that its beauty is gone, and in
additiou it is so badly nourished that
it loses its strength and luster.
In such cases a little fine oil is the
proper remedy. Those who have very
dry aud rough hair, especially if sub
ject to pain and feverishness iu the
head, will do well to try some soften
iug application, at least as an experi
ment.
One ounce of glycerine to a pint of
rose water with tw*o or three grains of
quinine, thoroughly shaken together,
makes an excellent hair tonic, The
trifle of glycerine gives it softness and
moisture and- a very pretty gloss.
Care must be taken, however, to
keep the head away from dust as much
as possible, for the glycerine will hold
it and soon make the most beautiful
braid dull and grimy looking.—Phila¬
delphia Times.
WHY GIRLS don’t MARRY.
Those men who go the rounds of the
city and ask questions of all the pretty
girls as to how old they are, and
whether they are married or not, re¬
port in the census of 1890 that ot the
19,602,178 women of marriageable age
6,233,207, or one-third, were unmar¬
ried. Over one-half (fifty-three per
cent.) of the women between twenty
and twenty-five were unmarried, and
twenty-eight per cent, of those be¬
tween twenty-five and thirty, while
six per cent., will never marry.
If a woman does not marry by the
time she is twenty, the chances are
fifty-three to forty-seven that she will
not be married until she is twenty
five, and twenty-eight to seventy-two
that she will not be married even at
thirty. To put it iu simpler form, of
every 100 women who reach the age of
twenty unmarried, forty-seven marry
between twenty and twenty-five, while
twenty-five marry between twenty-five
and thirty, and six never marry.
According to the State census of
1875, out of each 100 women in New
York then reaching the age of twenty
unmarried, sixty-three married before
they were twenty-five and eighty-four
before they were thirty.
One reason why, sixteen years ago,
sixty-three out of ev2ry 100 women
married between the ages of twenty
and twenty-five, while only forty-seven
marry now, is because many avenues
have been opened to women by which
they can earn a living.
More women now marry
twenty-five and thirty than fifteen
t \ wenty-one ears ago twenty-bye tnen but the now, net against loss is

independence, four per cent, fail and
fall back upon matrimony by the time
they are thirty.—St. Louis Star-Say¬
ings.
MONUMENTS TO WOMEN,
The unveiling of the monument
erected , in . memory of Mary, the , moth
or of u ashmgton, has raised the ques
tiou as to the number of monuments
in tais country that ha\e been built at
public expense, or by public snbserip
tion, in honor of women. Uufortu
nately, there are no statistics upon the
subject, but, while it is easy to find
descriptions of monuments to men of
greater or less note in all the States of
the Union, it is not generally known
if more than three have been dedi¬
cated to the memory of departed wo¬
men One of the three is in New Or¬
leans, in honor of a woman famous for
deeds of charity. Another has been
erected at the grave of Lincoln’s
mother, although it is too simple to be
called a monument, and the third hon
ors Mary, the mother of Washington.
It 1 there are others they are unfortu
nately lost in obscurity * that ought to
be removed.
It is a little singular that two of the
three monuments to wom»m in this
countrv are specially ‘know in honor of their
motherhood. We of none in
Europe so specially dedicated. Queens
have monuments, bat they are in hon
or of their rank and official station.
And yet there are hundreds of wo
men who have lived iu this country
whose memories ought to be kept
green and whose noble deeds ought to
be perpetuated in granite and marble,
. here are in Washington statues of
our great statesmen and generals, but
not one of any of the many women
who have advanced our national life
and whose deeds have been illustrious,
But the greatness and sublimity of
goodness, the sweetness and purity of
character, are too modest to claim the
recognition they deserve.—Chicago

RIGID REGIMEN OF EMPRESS ELIZABETH. I
The most partial critic could not
sav that the life of the Empress of I
Austria is eccentric happy or peaceful. It is
feverish, and palpitates with
excitement. The great aim and ob
; ect of the Empress Elizabeth seems !
to be to f at igne herself. One of the ;
peop | e in her entourage affirmed while i
tlle p,i i that she seemed to live '
at v er a
for her fi ?uref b er hair and health.
She Visits has no other interests. On these
sue rises at six, takes a little
milk and some eggs and then starts on
R twenty-mile walk in the mountains,
w1 IpamoD, th her Mentonesa emide as her onlv „5
c ,o com. home taggej
exhausted. She goes to bed at nine
anc | s i ee , >g j u clamp sheets. Fearful
G f creating herself, she takes no
regular meals. Three times a week
has cold meat and tea, twice a
week she takes a solid lunch, and
twice a week she has the juice of four
pounds of beefsteak squeezed out raw
and drinks it. She never dines, but
in the evening she eats some pastry,
of which she is inordinately fond. Oc
casionally she breaks out and gives
her appetite its full run. Then her
chef, Herr Seitz, whose post is no
sinecure, lias to rack bis brain to find
delicacies for her fastidious palate.
Regularly he goes in a small boat into
the open Mediterranean, far away
from the land, and brings back a cask
of sea water, the salt of which her Im
perial Majesty likes to eat. She has
been obliged to obtain special per
mission from the French Government
to procure this luxury, for salt is a
State monopoly. When she has over
eaten herself, as often happens, she
abstains absolutely from food for days,
and she will remain in bed after she
has overfatigued herself. She does
not ride on horseback, nor play, not
paint,
Once a month Her Majesty has hei
hair washed. This may seem a small
matter to chronicle, but it is usually a
great event. Her hair is still beauti
ful, luxuriant and perfectly black.
When let down it touches the ground
as she stands, and she is tall. The
cleaning and cutting of this hair is a
business, aud so completely fatigues
Her Majesty that she is unfit for any
thing afterward. It takes up the best
part of a day. The arduous and deli
cate duty is intrusted to Frau von
Feifalik, the wife of her hMrath, or
conseilleir de la cour. The hair wash
is a profound secret, All religiously
guarded by this lady. outsiders
have been able to ascertain is that
lorty eggs are used up every month
upon it, and that the other ingredients
are obtained from no less than twenty
mysterious bottles. The utensils used
are enamelled. Besides being washed,
the hair is cut very slightly, every
single hair by itself almost. When
the operation is finally over the Em¬
press gets fits of violent headache and
is absolutely ill for the whole day.
Her hair is practically her only beauty.
Although she has fine brown eyes,
they are small; her nose is short and
insignificant and her mouth large and
rather heavy. Her feet, too, are very
long and narrow and devoid of insteps.
But she is tall and graceful. She
walks with an elastic, springy step,
and from behind looks like a young
woman. Her face, however, is wrinkled
and shows lines of care and sorrow.
Like Eugenie, she dresses in black. —<

Wrong Side Up.
An amateur archaeologist one day
espied the date 1081 carved on a stone
inserted above the door of a Btable and
persuaded the peasant who owned the
property to let him have it for a good
round sum of money. A few days af¬
terward the peasant delivered the
stone to the purchaser.
“Why,” said the latter, “this is not
the stone I bought from you the other
day. This one bears the date 1801. I
won’t have it.”
“I beg your pardon,” answered the
peasant, “this is the very stone, only
the builder, in a mistake, put it up¬
side down. You can do the same, you
know.”
He Was Used to It.
“You say you were buried alive

“That’s what I said.”
“You must have felt queer.”
“Ob, no; I was used to it.”
“Used to it?”
“Yes; I was salesman for a year in a
