TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
4?-
A STOKE IK TIIE SHOP,.
A stone fast in a shoe for several Gays,
is a sufficient cause for lameness, as it
seriously bi uises the sole of the house's
foot. The horse thus injured should rest
a few days, the shoe should be removed
and a poultice of linseed mealbe applied.
If it is thought the poultice will act bet
ter, the shoe may l>e left on and the hol
low Imj well filled with the hot poultice
and then tied up, with the foot well en
veloped in the poultice. Turpentine or
some other active liniment may be use
fully applied to the coronet as soon as
the heat of the hoof i3 reduced. —New
York Times.
BEAXS AS A FARM CROI*.
Now that every product of the farm is
low and farmers scarcely know what to
raise that will |iay them best, I will say,
writes an Ohio farmer, that I have found
beans about as profitable a crop as any
when properly cultivated and harvested
without being damaged by the weather.
The land need not be very rich, for a
large growth of vines is not profitable.
They should not be planted until the
ground has become warm and the weather
settled. Too much wet is bad for beans
in all stages of their growth, as well
as at the harvesting. The most salable
lieans are of the medium size, common
ly called navy beans. I think the mar
row beans better for cooking, but they
ripen too unevenly with me to be protit
tble.—New York World.
COW PEAS.
There are very few farmers or fruit
gnwers but who know the immense
value of cow peas either for fertilizing,
or,where properly cured, for forage. Cut
at the proper time the vines make a most
nutritious hay, but if allowed to become
too hard and woody it is labor lost to
carry them from the field, and they had
better be left on the ground to decay.
For preparing a strawberry bed for
planting next fall sow peas as thick as
they will grow. They cleanse and en
rich the soil in the best manner, thus sav
ing a vast amount of labor, and are worth
ten times their original cost. On very
poor lands a fertilizer should be applied
previous to planting the seed; on ordi
nary or rich soil they will grow without
any. Our advice may be summed up as
follows: If you desire to establish an
orchard or vineyard to plant truck or
garden vegetables either for home §r
market,to grow corn, cotton, sugar cane,
sorghum, tobacco, upland rice, and de
sire that your soil should be made of
mellow, rich nod free from weeds and
grass, by all means plant peas.
Better borrow money to buy pea seed
than to buy commercial fertilizers, al
though the latter is a most valuable ad
junct to success in growing big crops
when used intelligently. Yet, do not
forget Jell Welborn’s advice—to plant
plenty of peas.— Timet-Democrat.
REMEDY FOR CAKED UDDER.
Following is a remedy for caked ud
der, well tried and tested, from the Jer
sey Bulletin: Take one-half pint aqua
ammonia, one pint soft water, one or
two teaspoonfuls spirits of turpentine,
one and one-half teaspoonful of fluid ex
tract of belladonna, one and one-half
tcaspoonful of fluid extract of hyptolac
ea, one and one-half teaspoonful of satu
rated tincture of camphor. Shake well
and apply with all the elbow grease and
patience you can master. Take about a
teaspoonfnl at a time in the hollow of the
hand, and gently, but with sufficient
pressure, rub it into the skin of the ud
der until the latter gets dry and quite
hot; support yourself by putting the oth
er hand, with an occasional patting,
across the patient’s spine.
After having treated both sides, in
front and rear (the latter as high up as
the udder reaches) to doses of liniment,
get down under your cow and gently
commence kneading the bag, taking the
whole and afterwards part of the udder
between the opened hands, rolling the
former till the formed lumps are crushed,
occasionally milking bag empty. Stop
use of liniment as soon ns coagulation
disappears, but keep rubbing and milk
often. By all means avoid graining,
feed bay only very sparingly, give plenty
of water, and keep the animal from get
ting cold.
TnE nABITS OF LAYING FOWLS.
Many farmers will argue that they
have had as good success in hatching by
permitting the hens access to the hay
lofts, straw stacks, open baskets, boxes
fixed to walls and other out of way places,
as when special preparations of finely
arranged nests on the ground are pro
vided. With all these things granted it
is overlooked that in giving sitters access
to such places they likewise gave them
freedom to go in and out when they
liked, becoming wet.from rain or dew,
ar.d gave moisture to the eggs under them.
On the other hand, keep them shut up
during incubation invariably,or nearly so,
you will find the average hatch from
nests placed on the ground, or on damp
ground or earth, much larger than from
those in hay lofts, straw stacks, or boxes
fastened to the walls.
The natural instinct of hens, ducks,
geese, turkeys, guineas, etc., teach them
that the ground is the natural place for
nests. A shower of rain or dew does no
harm to eggs if not cold.
During the last stages of incubation
eggs will live a long time in the absence
of the sitter, if the weather be warm. A
little observation will give many [mints
of practical value. Another point that
3hould be studied is the comfort of a set
ting hen; the nest better too large than
too small. The nests should always be
sept clean with fresh straw or hay.—
Farm, Field and Stockman.
A FEW SHEEP WRINKLES.
Old, broken-mouthed ewes are dear at
any price. If they cannot be sold to th 6
butcher feed them to the crows in the
fall—they will get them anyhow before
“the voice of the turtle is heard in the
land.”
All sheep are subject to both internal
and external parasites. Feed them oc
casionally a little hardwood ashes oi
finely pulverized tobacco, which will
fieethem from worms and improve theii
general health.
Dip them thoroughly in some approved
sheep dip, and there is nothing better
than a preparation of tobacco.
Do not overstock; better keep too
few, rather than too many. If a flock ol
100 sheep could be made as profitable as
a flock of ten, shepherds would be
“clothed in purple and fine linen.”
Mix a little sulphur with their salt; it
enriches the blood and disagrees with
ticks and other parasites.
Mark those ewes that have disap
pointed you; don’t be fooled twice by the
same sheep.
Keep a well-trained Scotch terrier in
the sheep barn; he will clean up the
rats and give notice of the approach of
prowling curs or thieving tramps. The
sheep will soon become familar with his
presence, and he may run between their
legs or over their backs without exciting
them in the slightest.
Give mixed feed, nnd always remem
ber that oats should constitute a part of
the food of the “golden hoof.” If you
are feeding a mixture of equal parts of
cornraeal, ground oats and wheat and
bran, and forget to exchange it for some
thing else every thirty days, as the books
direct, don't be alarmed, the sheep won’t
be insulted.
If you are giving it to them as a warm
slop, one pint of grain each, three times
a day, stirred into enough warm water to
make it into a thin mush, the lambs will
dance and the ewes cry out for joy every
time they hear the rattle of your pails.
Fows of any kind are a nuisance about
the sheep barn, and should be carefully
excluded.
Examine carefully every ewe's uddei
before deciding to retain her as a mem
ber of your breedihg flock. If you find
one side spoiled, reject her.
After weaning lambs, milk the ewes
twice a week and keep them on the
shortest pasture until dry.
Any breed of sheep is good if they
have a shepherd; all breeds are poor if
they are neglected. —American Wool-
Grower.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Get the field beans in now.
Bubach No. 5 is a large, prolific straw
berry.
Fuchsias require warmth, moisture and
moderate shade.
It is not all of farming to learn to pro
duce from the soil.
In agriculture, brain work is as essen
tial as physical labor.
Steady application is what counts, es
pecially in agriculture.
The value of lime in the poultry yard
cannot be overestimated.
Instantly remove all tomato plants
showing indications of mildew.
Most vegetables will endure transplant
ing, and many are benefited thereby.
The Palmer strawberry is mentioned
as one of the best of the recent black
caps.
No business can be expected to paj
that is not carefully looked after. Farm
ing is a business.
The business man who has engaged ir
agriculture, find him where you will, is
usually in the lead.
If you want your clover at its best for
hay, do not forget to cut it as soon as any
of the heads begin to turn brown.
Remember that early cut hay may not
give you so much weight of material, but
a larger proportion of it is digestible.
Frequent change of crops will retard,
if it does not prevent, the development of
insect enemies of the several crops
grown.
Farmers, by force of habit, are very
slow to abandon the old plan of fencing
into small fields, not realizing its ad
vantages.
If a dry spell comes don’t forget the
young trees—fruit or shade that were set
out this spring-—wet them down good
and mulch.
Begin early in the season and “make
hay while the sun shines.” This is the
best general rule in hay making that can
be laid down.
Use horse power whenever possible in
handling hay. It costs less, it is quickei
and the hay will usually be better made
than by hand.
If hay is stacked too green, so as to Ik
in danger of heating, a ventilator through
the middle of the stack will-be found
useful in keeping it cool.
A flock of ducks turned into the pota
to patch will often prove themselves
valuable in destroying the bugs so de
structive to potato vines.
If you want green, fragrant, fine
flavored hay, cut while it is m this con
dition as grass, and cure it without
much exposure to sun or lain.
Many meadows are ruined by th?
grass getting overripe and then being
cut close, leaving the exhausted rooti
exposed to the burning rays of the sun.
Grass allowed to ripen seed before cut
ting has lost from one-third to one-ball
its value as fodder, and the chance of
getting a second crop is less sure than if
cut early.
Salting hay does not make it better,
but more relishable, especially to stock
that does not have free access to salt. If
is better to keep the stock well salted
instead of salting the hay.
Timothy, when cut in bloom, is apt to
be dusty; if cut after bloom, it is too
ripe and woody; if cut just before blos
soming, it is in the best condition for
feeding, but there is a little less nutri
ment in it.
In order to realize the largest profits
from the meadows a good even stand of
grass must be secured. It must be cut
in good season and be handled and stored
away in an economical manner and then
be fed out to good, thrifty stock on the
farm.
WOMAN’S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
WIG-WEARING RUSSIAN WOMEN.
A stranger walking through Hester
and Essex streets, New York city, re
cently observed scores of women whose
hair was of a jet black hue and lay
straight combed and brushed back from
their foreheads. And each head was
partly covered by a silk handkerchief
that was knotted beneath the chin and
additionally secured by a huge gold pin.
The faces of the women were yellow, and
the eyes were lustrionsly black, with heavy
black eyebrows and lashes.
Borne of these women were middle
Aged, others were scarcely twenty, but
each wore a heavy band of gold on the
third finger of her right hand. They
were Hebrews from a distant part of
Russia, dose to the boundaries of Poland.
It is one of the customs of this race for
the married women to wear wigs, no
matter how beautiful or luxuriant their
own hair may be. They do this in ac
cordance with an old custom of their
country, which teaches them that a wife's
charms are for her husband alone, and a
woman’s hair is considered to be one of
hey greatest charms. Unmarried girls
never wear wigs, but just as soon as the
words making her a wife are pronounced
she dons her wig and never removes it
except in the privacy of her own room.
Chicago Pott.
STIFTS FOR DESTITUTE GENTLEWOMEN.
As custom will not permit a well-born
German girl to work for her living, and
as the number of noble families with lit
tle property is large, a young lady who
suddeuly found herself destitute would
have to face an embarrassing problem in
Germany, were it not for the institutions
peculiar to the land and known as Stifts,
which are intended for the maintenance
of destitute ladies of high birth. Many
of these have been founded and endowed
in Silesia and Saxony. At the head of
each is the Stiftshofmeisterin, who is ap
pointed by the Crown, and whose offiqe
gives her high rank of precedence at
court. The appointment of the ladies is
in the hands of cimmittees, but each is
required to have a certain number of
quartcrings. The ladies need not be or
phans; if their parents are alive, they
spend so many months a year with them;
and when they marry, a suitable dowry
is provided. But the chances of mar
riage are small, and in many case3 they
spend their whole lives in the Stift, and
a dreary existence it is, as a rule, there
being an almost entire lack of interests
and occupations. The mere arrange
ments for living are on the most com
fortable scale. One stift in particular is
palatial. It was built about 200 years
ago in the Italian style, with a grand ap
proach of terraces and steps. Within is
a great marble hall, with magnificent
staircases on either side. On the first
floor is a salon forty feet high, with a
painted ceiling, and on the same floor
are the guests’ rooms and the Meisterin’s
apartments. The ladies are lodged
above, the seniors having two rooms
each. They all furnish their own rooms
themselves. They have their private
laundry, their maids, and their carriages,
and, in fact, every luxury to which their
birth may be considered to entitle them.

A WONDER AMONG WOMEN.
Writing from Americus, Ga., a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Tima
says: The death of Mrs. Susan E. Mer
rifield, which occurred here yesterday,
revives interest in one of the most pecul
iar cases ever known of a vow of silen.-e
made and kept thirty years.
In 1860 Mrs. 'Merrifield, who, it is
said, was a little woman of peculiarly
bright and cheery disposition, was tell
ing her husbnnd of some occurrence,
•when he requested her in a very surly
manner to be -silent, adding that the
sound of her voice was hateful to him.
It seems thut Mr Merrifield, while a
good husband in every other way, was
in the habit of venting his displeasure
when aroused by outside matters by ill
humor with his wife, whose good nature
usually passed his testiness by, but on
this occasion she replied that if it was
hateful to him he should never hear her
voice again, and he never did, nor did
aDy other person, Tor in spite of her hus
band's remorse and remonstrance from
friends and relatives, Mrs. Merrifield
kept her room, although she continued
to act the part of a good wife and
mother, fulfilling every duty scrupu
lously. She even bore three children to
her husband after this vow was taken.
When communication was absolutely
necessary with those about her she used
a slate, but reduced a language of signs
to such perfection in governing her house
hold and children that it was but sel
dom that this slate was resorted to.
It was thought that when her husband
died she would resume the use of her
speech, but while she sat by his dying
bed; devoted and loving to the last, In
answer to his supplication that she spoke
but a word to him, wrote on the slate
with all the evidence of grief: “I can
not, I cannot! God forgive and help
me, I cannot'”
But whether it was that she found it
impossible to break her will and her
vow, or that long disuse had affected
her organs so that she really could not
use them, could not be arrived at, but
her fnmiiy inclined to the latter belief,
for it iR said that on her own dealhbed
she made distinct but ineffectual efforts
to speak to her children, dying with the
seal of silence unremoved from her
lips,
POETRY AND PARASOLS.
Every lady is more or less familiar with
“delicipus gowns,” “sweet hats” and
“loves of bonnets," but the beauty of
the sunshade.remains to be sung. la th*
absence of fine lace, now considered out
of fashion, the sun umbrella is the very
poetry of the toilet. One needs to be
fortified by a tower of strength to pass
a counter or a shop window shaded with
gauze and ribbon, gilded ribs and en-
ameled sticks without stopping, and onca
a halt is made it is good-by to content
ment.
Among the season's novelties there ara
the “dream” sunshades, covered with
milk-white silk over which creamy crepe
lisse is shirred and caught at the ton with
a Prince of Wales cluster of plumes.
There’s the “bell” parasol, made with
silvered ribs, capped with silver tongues
and finished oil with a -bouquet of may
bells. The “camper” is a tint-like affair,
to be had in canvas oolors of rose and
yellow, red and white, blue and white,
and black and crimson, finished around
the edge with the scallops that are rut
in window awnings and street canopies.
All the Oriental shapes are made ol
beautiful silk, with now and then a bam
boo or ivory handle, representing a
haughty Jap or dancing Turk.
Then there are the coaching and car
riage shades with their delicate handles
of Dresden, china, and their covers of
peach, pink or ccr'u, over which trans
parent cloths and nets are gathered,
plaited, tucked or shirred. The racing
parasol is a gorgeous creation made with
twelve gores of four contrasting colors in
the richest silks and the brightest tints
obtainable. Everybody knows about the
grass parasol, those fragrant, arbor affairs
that rustle like pine needles in the breeze,
and attract all sorts of queer-looking in
sects when not in use. The leaf'parasol
made of ivy, oak or maple is something
of a novelty, and so is the petal parasol,
but they are too suggestive of the pedes
tal lamp-shade to be popular. The Ben
galine silk shades are remarkable for the
novelty and beauty of their handles, in
which lapis lazuli, porcelain and crystal
patterns are brought out. Some of the
ebonizod wood handles are finished with
a knob of Dresden china, and mock
jewels are seen in the Malacca sticks.
Very little silver is used for ornamenta
tion, for the reason that it makes a sum
mer umbrella too heavy.
These creations in breezy tulle and
ruchings, fluttering ribbons ned glitter
ing sticks are all very nice for the brides
■and belles, dowagers and heiresses of so
ciety to whom $25 is nothing, but there
are $2 studies in plaid and plain silks,
and double weave changeable surahs for
sl, under which a not too ambitious
woman can be cool, shady, pretty and
content. —New York World.

FASHION NOTES.
Eccentricity is the prevailing character
istic of girls’ sleeves.
As mauy different styles for the little
girl as for mamma or pretty, grown-up
sister.
Outing coats of flannel come in a great
many styles from the very loud to tht
very plain.
Lace quills, which ornament the im
ported hats add from $lO to $lB to the
millinery bill.
Sleeves ale worn 5C long that twn-hut
ton gloves arc permissible for all but
evening toilets.
Brown is a good color as well as gen
teel, and apricot, white and pink are
used in combination.
White canvas shoes with russet leathei
trimmings are largely worn by boys,girlf
and babies this summer.
Suits of fancy striped French serge
with ground-work of white are a season
able novelty for dainty little boys.
No girl of the period should travel
without her fur shoulder cape. It is to
be the fad, nnd it is an English fad,
too.
Many of the quaint little coats on dis-
I lay have capes of lace, and other capes
are embroidered with sprays filled in with
lace.
Dinmanine, or diamond cloth, is anew
fabric woven in brown or gray wool,
with a silver line forming a diamond
pattern. *
White Indian muslins embroidered in
colors are something new this season and
are said to make up very effective
costumes.
Aside from the French kid shoe which
is always correct, the most popular dresi
boot is of patent leather with upper ol
fine dongola.
Of all the veils the brown-dotted one
is declared to be the most generally be
ooming. This, of course, is worth bear
ing in mind. •
In the matter of the blouse, every
thing goes. It is recognize las a most
convenient garment and just the thing tc
wear out old skirts.
Yellow in its mellow richness is the.
color that prevails in natural flowers fot
table, window and all interior decora
tion, except for bridal ceremonies.
The old delaine comes back under the
title of muslin-delaine for evening and
midsummer toilets. In the weaving the
pattern is brought out with raised satin
threads.
The iapt whim of fashion is reddish
gold hair. frizzed tightly and then pulled
in a tangled mass all over the head.
This frizzled treatment of coils and rolls
means a destruction to the hair that only
young heads can assume.
Jersey dresses of every conceivable
style and color are largely imported this
summer. They are not only highly
serviceable but exceedingly picturesque,
and when of plain color are enhanced by
accessions of striped or plaidcd goods.
A fancy is shown for belt effects, and
lace, embroidery and galloon are vari
ously handled to make the antique stom
aclier design. Trimming of this sort
foreshortens the waist measure and
should be avoided by all bat the slim and
slender.
Vests of plain white, in figured pique,
duck or marseilles, are in high vogue for
dressy little boys from nine years of agt
Upward. They arc closed with lovely
pearl buttons attached thereto by old
fashioned button-rings, and may be re
moved before the waistcoat is laundered.
Magenta, a color that makes the
blonde’s hair dull, the eyes heavy and
the skin gray, has just the opposite ef
fect when worn by a brunette. It is a
fashionable shade just now in Paris, en
joying the popularity of the cardinal,
Boulanger and scarlet of previous sum
mers.
Gelatine.
A. grot many who usr gclatlno nff
who aio very fond of it when made into
tempting jellies and other delightful
dishes, which prominently appear at all
parties and receptions, are not aware of
what materials this substance is made.
A great many dealers, who sell hundreds
of pounds of it annually, are wholly un
aware of its process of manufacture.
When pure it has very little taste, and to
he made palatable must be mixed with
wine or other substances. Properly pre
pared, it is n very agreeable food pro
duct, and is recommended for invalids,not
only on account of its “niasticability,
but its easiness of digestion. It is
recommended by physicians as being nu
tritious and healthful, giving vital action
to the. blood and strength to the body.
The purest kind of gelatine is obtained
from the refuse of the sturgeon. 'I h s has
a clear,almost a colorless apperance. great
thickening power, and produces a jelly
much superior to the ordinary gelatine,
which is manufactured from hoofs, skins
and bones of animals, llut let it be said
that the materials used must be per
fectly fresh, and the most cleanly pro
cesses employed in producing gelatine,
and in purifying it, iti order to make it
sweet and palatable. Great skill and care
are required to separate the pure gelati o
from the other suhstuuces which are gen
erally found with it. The character of
gelatine is very much the same as the
white of an egg, though it possesses less
nutritive material. A substance some
what similar to gelatine is found in sea
weeds. in China it is made of birds’
nests, and is considered a great luxury.
A knowledge of chemistry and ingenious
methods have brought to the use of the
world many economical anti valuable
food products that in primitive days
would have been allowed to go to waste
and dec >y. The use of gelatine’is con
stantly increasing in the far lets of our
principal betels and restaurants, and our
leading caterers would hardly think of
getting up n feast without using it in
some of their choice preparations one
way or another.
A Railway to Jerusalem.
A railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem has

which is to be built thither from Alex

old order of things and the new will
strangely meet. Already they do so at

Water Asa Solvent.
Water dissolves various rutistnmc*,
such as ftigar, because its atoms arc very
minute, and, therefore, permeate the
pores or spaces between the atoms of those
substances, and, overcoming their attrac
tion for each other, cn’.tao them to sepa
rate. But hot water dissolves them more
quickly, because the water ns it is heated
expands, whereas when water is becom
ing cold its atoms draw closer to one
another and require less room. Thus
heat assists in making the part icle of
wider repel those of the substance which
is undergoing solution, and gives the
water a freer passage between the atoms
of the sugar or other melting substance.
Cold water dissolves three times its own
weight of sugar, hot water a little more,
the inerc’ se of temperature influencing
to a greater extent the rapidity of solution
than the amount of substance dissolved.
Stirring liquid also hastens the solution.

Don’t read ! Don't think f
Don’t believe! Now are you
bet ter ?
You women who think that
patent medicines are a bum
bug, and Dr. Pierce’s Favor
ite Prescription the biggest
humbug of the whole (because
it's best known of all) —does
your lack-of-faith cure come?
It’s very easy to “ don’t ” in
this world. Suspicion always
comes more easily than con
fidence. But doubt little
faith never made a sick
woman well —and the “Fa
vorite Prescription ” has cured
thousands cf delicate, weak
women, which makes us think
that our “ Prescription ” is
better than your don’t believe.
We’re both honest. Let us
come together. You try Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
If it doesn’t do as represented,
you get your money again.
Where proof’s so easy, can
you afford to doubt ?
Little but active—are Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.
Best Live? Pills made; gen
tle, yet thorough. They regu
late and invigorate the liver,
stomach aad bowels.
