rOPICS OF INTEREST REUTIVE
TO FARM ANI> GARDEN.
A PREVENTIVE FOR PLANT MILDEW.
A preventive of mildew upon plants:
Take three pounds each of flowers of
sulphur and quicklime. Slake the lime
and boil with the sulphur in six gallons
of water until reduced to two gallons.
Allow this to settle, then pour off the
clear liquid and bottle it for use. An old
iron pot will answer to boil it in. Mix a
gill of this liquid with live gallons of
water, and shower upon the plants as
soon as the mildew appears. —Boston
Cultivator.
A QUESTION ABOUT OAT HARVESTING.
One of the questions for farmers to
begin to consider is whether oats to be
fed on the farm should not be cut while
the grain is yet in the milk, and cured,
straw and all, for feeding without
threshing? Of course the portion of the
crop that is to be used for seed or sold
in the market must ripen and be threshed;
but, as an Eastern paper puts it, “It is
difficult to see any advantage in all the
labor of threshing out oats to put in a
bin and the straw in a stack, only to put
them together again in the manger.”
But we do not advise raising oats for
hay in any country natural to the hay
crop, and for the reason that, where so,
the hay is cheapest. —Prairie Farmer.
CURING THE RUNNING AWAT HABIT.
A habit of running a yis fatal to the
usefulness of a horse. It is the fault of
training, for in the training escape from
control should never be permitted. The
vice may be cured in this way: Fasten
two strong rings in the top of thi bridle,
one on each side; put a strong round
cord through these rings so that it can
be drawn on as the driving lines are. As
loon as the horse starts he is checked by
pulling on the cord, which presses on the
windpipe and shuts off the breathing. If
tte persists in running he will soon drop,
but this is seldom done; some shaking of
the head and the runaway will stop. After
itanding a few minutes he may be pulled
hp a few times until he learns that the
I river has control of him. —American
Hone Breeder.
MUSHROOMS.
From a little experience we have re
cently had with mushrooms, we are satis
lied they may be often grown with profit
by farmers for near markets. They
bring a high price at certain seasons of
the year, but when fanners gather those
for sale which grow naturally in the
fields the price is usually lowest. To
get the best prices, mey suould be grown
In hotbeds, us gardeners do, planting the
spawn or thread-like seeds in beds
properly prepared and well fertilized.
It is the heat quite as much as the man
ure that makes the spawn productive.
Perhaps wherever there is a good market
for mushrooms a hotbed cannot be de
voted to more profitable use than this.
The market may be cultivated by gather
ing and selling the mushrooms that at
ibis season may often be gathered in
fields. There are mauy varieties of
mushrooms, and a thorough knowledge
of thii subject turns itself into money
more surely than knowledge of anything
else will. The mushroom is in Europe
considered a substitute for meat. A
pound of it can more cheaply be grown
than a pouud of meat, and it always
brings a higher price, as it deserves to
from its finer quality. —Boston Cultivator.
THE CAUSE OF POOR RADISH SEED.
It is stated, upon what seems good au
thority, as well as good sense, that the
poor quality of radish seed that comes to
our market is the result of saving the
•eed from stocks that have not been trans
planted. This story, however plausible
it may appear, is in no respect true. Tho
true state of the case is, all the radish
seeds which como to our country arc
grown from transplanted roots. The
growers would not produce them in any
other way; the seeds are sown in seed
beds, quite closely, and, when fit for the
table, they are transplanted into the field.
They are first grown in seed-beds for
economic reasons, as a given amount of
seed-bed will furnish roots that will plant
at least fifty times as much ground as the
seed-bed contains. This enables the
growerg to economize time and labor.
Much of the seed grown in Fraflee is
raised by small farmers, who do all their
farm-work by hand; so while the plants
are growing in the seed-bed, the farmer
is spadiDg the soil for the crop. Poor
radish seed, like poor other seeds, comes
from poor selection. A worthless plant
will always yield double the amount of
■•eed that a valuable one does. —American
Agriculturist.
the moos's influence on vegetation.
The reflected light of the moon has no
appreciable influence upon either vegeta
ble or animal life on this planet, and if
there is any olectrical or other influence
it has not as yet been discovered. The
idea, however, that the moon has some
peculiar influence on vegetation and ani
mals is a very old one, and While thero
never was any foundation for it except
the vagaries of a disordered brain, still,
as the belief is perfectly harmless, it is
useless to disturb the quiet of your ig
norant neighbors who take so much
pleasure in planting their cucumbers and
beans during certain phases ot the moon.
The poor old moon has long been accused
of being the cause of many a catastrophe
of which she was only a silent spectator.
What are called the signs of the zodiac
originated from the supposed influence of
certain planets within the imaginary
band or zodiac extending around the
celestial sphere, having ns its mesial lino
the ecliptic or apparent path of the su i.
The original planets know to the ancients
within this band were Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, but later
other planets were discovered, and this
destroyed some of the old ideas of the
planetary system, as well as the influence
of these celestial worlds upon our own.
Ko intelligent or learned agriculturist of
the present day pays any attention to the
signs of the zodiac when either planting
or harvesting his crops, or in weaning
his calves and pigs.— Nev> York Sun.
FOOD FOR CHICKS.
Millions of little chickens are now
toddling about in front of the coops oi
our land. What will become of them?
Most of them will die at about the ag
of five days for lack of fight feeding.
Let us try, this summer, to save some ol
these uneonsenting martyrs to the ig
norance or laziness of their owners.
Granted safe coops, cleanliness, and
motherly hens; nourishing food, proper
ly fed, will do the rest. Usually the
question is how to use Indian corn ad
vantageously, because, at present, this
food is the great American reliance.
Com meal ought to be well cooked be
fore a grain of it is fed to young poultry.
Raw corn, even if scalded, irritates
young intestines, and it should be palata
bly cooked so that it will be eagerly
eaten. The idea should be, not to man
age with as little food as possible, but on
the contrary to urge the chickens to eat
ail that they caa profitably digest. Clean
feeding trays are as important in this
point of view as they are in the matter of
health. Chickens hate dirt and dirty
dishes. The mold on an old leeding
board is a plant which will grow rapidly
in their “little insides.” To make a
good “standby” pudding for chicken
feed, take one-half yellow corn meal,
one-half middlings or bran, and a little
salt. Mix soft with skim-milk and bake
slowly. If the milk is sour, put in some
soda. One can substitute for the milk
a broth made of the table scraps. This
pudding can be used as a steady diet,
varied by an occasional day of oatmeal.
If there is not enough meat in the table
scraps, add more.
Give your chickens milk to drink al
ways if you can; give water also or they
will suffer from thirst; and beware of the
tyrotoxicon which kills many babies and
chickens. Sour milk soon turns to
spoiled milk. Don’t delude yourself by
trusting that your chicks will do exactly
as well when you miss a feeding time or
two, provided you leave extra food
which will keep sweet, but they will not
prosper as when fed at the regular hours.
Litttle chicks often starve to death rath
er than eat stale, dusty food. Look out
for tho scrawny fledglings; every one
will look out for the downy new ones.—
American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTE3.
Keep the mower knives sharp.
Use tin pails only in the dairy.
Be gentle in handling the bees.
Protect your animals from flies and thi
hot sun.
Bag the grapes. Thin the fruit. Watch
the insects.
Never let a strange peddler or agent
have your autograph.
Science is the handmaid of progress,or
the farm and in the shop.
Tomatoes yield on an average from
eight to ten tons to the acre.
Average commercial flint corn contains
about eleven per cent, water.
Half of the commercial sugar of the
world is produced from beets.
Do not sell fruit when the_ market ij
glutted. Evaporate it, dry it or can it.
Do not depend on borrowing the or
dinary farm tools from your neighbors.
Own them and keep them in good con
dition.
Soapsuds should be added to the
manure heap. Never waste such. Later
in the season suds may be applied to as
paragus and celery with advantage.
Hooks about the stable, upon which to
hang the lantern, are an excellent thing.
The lantern set down is frequently
knocked over, and the straw or hay set
on fire.
When animals are confined, it is the
duty of the owner to see that they have
a variety of food and enough of it, as
well as a full supply of clcia water acd
fresh air.
Tho average dairyman will never be
contented until he has an easy chair for
a milking stool and can lie back and
take a snooze whilp somebody else does
the milking.
An enterprising and thoughtful farmer
will push his work rather than allow it
to push him. Nobody has as much time
fer rest and recreation as the man who is
always ahead with his work.
Kickers among colts and calves are
usually bred, not born. Handle them
gently and kindly and kickers will be
rare. Teasing by heedless boys and
hired men, originates mo3t of the farm
kickers.
When hens are shedding feathers they
often stop laying and grow fat. Most
people consider fat a sign of health. It
is not a sure one. Many of the worst
cases of roup are contracted while the
hens aro moulting.
The editor of the Maine Farmery says,
that in sixteen years’ experience of farm
ing he has learned that when his land is
poor or in a poor condition he is depend
ent largely on the season for a crop; but
if the land is rich and well-handled he is
reasonably sure of a crop anyhow.
Those who grow lettuce thickly in
beds or rows and cat it thus grown,
roally know little of the delieiousness of
this article of food. Transplanted into
rich ground, when of sufficient size, and
grown into large heads, it is much better
in quality, and much more ot it will be
eaten.
If the pigs can be pastured in the
orchard from the time the first imperfect
apples begin to drop from the trees, they
will do much toward ridding you of the
codling moth. If the orchard is, os it
should be, in a good growth of grass and
clover, the pigs will bo benefited as
much as the orchard.
Don’t crowd your fowls in the hen
houses. Give them breathing room,
space to move about in, and ample roost
ing accommodations. Hens will not lay
well if you crowd them up in close
quarters. They must have air, and their
bodies not come in contact by night or
by day, so far as possible to prevent.
THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE.
What It Has Done and What It Ex
pects to Accomplish.
In an interview with a reporter for th
Baltimore Sun, Hugh Mitchell, president
of tho Maryland State Farmers’ Alliance,
expressed himself as follows:
“The work of the Alliance is oni
mainly of education—to bring to thi
masses a proper understanding of thi
theories of our government and to cnablt
them to see clear, r and to apply the best
methods of correcting abuses that frorc
time to time encroach upon their liber
ties. The Alliance movement is an ar
raignmeut of the managers of both polit
ical parties for their failure t
perform their duty to the people,
and it has done more ic
the last two years to educate the masses
and the farmers on political and economil
questions than has been accomplished bj
both political parties in the tame di no
tion for the past fifteen years. The dif
ficulty that has always been beret of on
experienced in getting farmers together
for the free interchange of views and tin
discussion of national economic questions
lias necessarily made this education slow,
tedious and well nigh impossible; but
now, through the influence of the al
liance, they are brought into closer con
tact, and these questions arc discussed in
a clear and direct manner which makes
them well understood by all. The far
mers and industrial workers are being
made to comprehend that most of tho
legislation for the past twenty-five years
has been in the interest of a favored class
and that the contraction of tho currency
by the withdrawal of circulation, th<
demonetization of silver and the
unequal nd unjust tariff taxation
have caused the wealth of the
country to bo concentrated in the hands
of the few, while the produceis through
out tho country are being forced into
bankruptcy and ruin. They see that
>hey are able to secure none, or at most
a very small part of the eoormously in
creasing wealth of tho country which
they themselves produce. That while
they pay 80 per cent, of the taxes they
own less thau one quarter of the wealth,
and even that is steadily dimishing; that
overgrown corporations and Wall street
bankers, who furnish in Lions of boodle
money for campaign purposes, control
legislation, both state and national, and
that if they wish to be saved from abso
lute beggary they must be united and
demand justice, fair treatment and equal
opportunities at the hands of the men
elected to repircsent them in their legis
lative assemblies. Possibly we may have
slept too long and the evils of which we
complain are too firmly fixed to be rooted
out, but the farmers are at last fully
awake and determined to work out
their own salvation. Just how this is to
be done has not yet been fully decided
upon, but of one thing at least we are
sure, and that is that If we are firmly
united and determined to leave no fair
and honorable means untried to better
the condition of the industrial classes of
our country we will in the end be suc
cessful, and that as soon as the purposes
of ihe organization are generally under
stood we will have the approval and as
sistance of the intelligent and honest
portion of this community, knowing, as
they must, that upon the success of the
agricultural classes depends the future
prosperity of our country, and that our
republican government cannot long sur
vive the impoverishment and degrada
tion of the agricultural population and
concentration of ull wealth in the hands
of a favored few.
“The Alliance is essentially a po
litical oaganization, but it is
strictly non-partisan. Persons of all
poliiical faiths are admitted
The membership in Mar) land is largely
democratic, and shou and it continue to in
crease in members in the future as rapid
ly as ithas in the past eight months, it
must necessarily have in the not distant
future cor s derable influence in the coun
cils of the party to which moat of its
members belong. Most fair-minded
persons will agree that when the peo
ple take the management of affairs into
their own hands, determined to be no
longer governed by political hacks and
chronic office-seekers, whose only aim is
to put themselves in positions where the
pay is large and the work is easy, an
immense stride will have been taken in
the direction of pure government and
honest legislation. Such action can but
result beneficially upon all the
people of all classes and occupations
in the state. We Jcnojr Unit
there are immense difficulties to b’e
overcome by the orgamzation;
that the partisan press of the country,
controlled by the bankers, brokers and
bondholders, who have Leen the sole
benificiaries of the unjust and vicious
legislation of the past t\w*nty-five years,
will use all the power that money wields
to perpetuate their power and to hinder
every effort on the part of the govern
ment upon the principles contended for
by our father. Believing that upon tho
success of the Alliance alone depends our
present welfare and the tuture happimss
of our children, with the firmest faith in
the justice of our cause, we cannot fail in
the good work we have set out to per
form. To this end the Alliance gener
ally will seek to secure the nomination ot
men favorable to their cause.
“The business purposes of the Alliancs
are well understood. In those States
where the order has become strong
in numßers the members have
saved large sums through
their exchanges. The farmers of Geor
gia saved last year $200,000 in the pur
chase of fertilizers alone, in Dakota
$02,000 in binder twine, and many hun
dreds of thousands were saved all ovei
the South and West. Already an agency
has been established in Washington bj
the Alliance people in Maryland who dc
business in that city, and the results fol
lowing this establishment have been ben
eficial. At the next meeting of the Stats
Alliance, to be held in Baltimore on Au
gust 12, a movement will be made, and
no doubt successfully carried through, to
establish in that city a State exchange foi
the convenience of all Alliancemcn in ths
State. They will be enabled to sell
whatever they may have for market, o:
purchase whatever may be necessary foi
the successful pursuit of their farm oper
ations without being made te pay the ex
eessive charges now exacted ol
them by the middlemen, through whom
most of the dealings of the farmers is now
done. The Alliance people Chink th(
there are too many of these middlemen
doing business at present in the large
cities. The trade is too divided to enable
all to succi ed to the extent that theii
labors would justify, and as a result it
must sometimes follow that the farmer i(
the loser thereby.
“No farmers’ organization ill the his
tory of the world has grown so rapidly
and attained such proportions as the
Fanners’ Alliance and Industrial Uuion.
Already the Knights of Labor are co
operating w th us on all matters where
the interests of the organizations are
Identical. The farmers’ clubs and all
kindred organizations are fast becoming
absorbed by the Alliance, and in the near
future the industrial clubs all over the
land will be in a condition to protect
themselves from the ruthless plunderers
who have been preying upon them so long
and so mercilessly.”
A BIQ BTRIKE
INAUGURATED ON THE NKW YORK CENTRAL
AND HUDSON RIVER RAILROAD.
A general strike upon tho New York
Central & Hudson River railroad and the
Harlem railroad, was ordered Friday by
the executive board of district 248,
Knights of Labor, with the authority of
the general board, and soon after seven
o’clock in the evening all the members of
the order from New York as far west ns
Utica, on the Central, left their places,
and traffic on the great road came almost
to a standstill. Reports of Sunday
say that new men arc being
employed and traffic is 1 icing resumed.
The officials claim that no further delay is
apprehended. There were many state
ments made regarding the number of men
on the strike. The men themselves said
there were 8,000 or 4,000, while the rail
road officials maintained that there were
but 30lf or 400 out.
General Master Workman Powderlv,
when asked his views co ceruing the
strike on tho New York, Central and
Hudson R ver railroad, said that some
time since, it was reported to him that
the employes of that line were being dis
criminated against, the discharged men
all being known as leaders of organized
la' or. This strike is taken as a final pro
test against such discrimination which
had become unbearable. Mr. Powderly
sftid that the employees of the road have
a perfect organization from New York to
Buffalo. All of these organizations arc
not members of the Knights of Labor,
but their action is a concerted one and
there will be perfect unity The cider
to quit work will be obeyed by all.

They marched to St. Giles p rk, where
they were addresse I by leaders of the
movement. Delegates from the labor
and progressist parties met in the evening
and sent the following dispatch to King
Loop Id: You have asked what is the
country's watchword? It is “universal

were made by several delegates. It was
resolved to summon a congress to sit from
September 10th to the loth to consider

as the population each year grows denser.

the best method of procuring an adequate

The Literature of Discontent.
l)antP, Ih his history of the wonderful
pilgrimage through the abode of departed
spirits, tells us that he passed a black,
silent pool, lying sullenly among the
shadows. No tipple stirred upon the
somber waters. No wave curled its bright
lip, hut btiiibles rose ceaselessly upon its
surface and broke there one by on-.
And frotn below, among tho slime
and ooze, ascended forever faint,
stifled sounds of lain n tat ion the
voices of those who had been “dark and
sad within them” during their days on
earth, unthankful for tho warmth of the
sunshine and the blessed blue of the sky.
Rut tlunl'y he became ill. He prayed for
health and strength, for God's aid, but
it was never Ids to touch that strange
bright ideal he sought. If he glimpsed
at it sometimes among the shadows, he
cried, like Flanbe't'a si hinx, “Ici
chimerc, arrete-foil” but the flying
shape still answered, “Non,
jamais,” and the dreamer was
left alone once more in the silence of the
desert. “Withered leaves” lie called the
days of his life. No man better under
stood his own weaknesses. He drained
the “questioningcup” to thedregs. His
“deep discontent with life” was an out
growth of his higher nature. The thought
of acting decisively wrought terror with
him; he dreaded to make a forward
movement lest lie should fall short of his
own standard.
Malaria-
Is your system full of malsria ? Do you feel
weak anil mean all over? Have you got the
ague? Then why don't you do something to
get well. You say quinine doesn't do you sny
good. Well you needn’t let that discourage
you. There is one remedy, Smith's Tonic
Syrup, made by Dr. John Butt, of Louisville,
Ky., that is far ahead of quinine. It will cure
chills and fever when quinine and everything
else fntls. This remedy never haa failed. In
some neighborhoods where chills and fever
are common, it Is found in every household.
Why, a man would as soon refuse his family
foot! io eat, as lo refuse to get another boltle
of Smith's Tonic Syrup when the old bottle
gave out. It is a great preventive of ague. A
single dose will sometimes keep off an attack.
A lew dosea wilt break up the fever and cure
the ehills. It does not leave any unpleasant
after effects as quinine sometimes does. It
will not harm the most delicate Invalid. Give
it a trial and you will soon be well.
The trouble with Justice Is that she does so
little besides holding her scales.
Children Fnj.iv
The pleasant flavor, gentle action and sooth
ing effects of Syrup of Figß, when in need of a
laxative and if the father or mother be costive
or bilious the most gratifying results follow
its use, so that it is the best family remedy
known and every family should have a bottle.
The man who is suffering from green rorn,
strange to say, never goes to the chiropodist.
Yonr child Is troubled with worms. That’s
why he is so peevish and gross. Give it Dr.
Bull’s Worm Destroyers. They taste good and
will make him healthy.
Onc’a self-satisfaction is on untaxed kind of
property which it is very unpleasant to find
depreciated.
