FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
ONE GOOD nEStILT.
At a late butter making competition
in England, held at Colchester, nud
open to all comers, all the prizes were
aw arded to pupils at the dairy school
at Ipswich. This qfows what syste¬
matic training will do toward making
good butter makers, and wo only wish
those who are interested in tho subject
in this country would profit by this
most excellent example. — American
Pair y man,
don't KEEP POOR STOCK.
Please listen to a fow admonitory
Wgestions, such as are especially sea¬
sonable in tho winter and will bear re¬
peating annually. It will not pay to
keep poor, unprofitable stock at any
season, and pnrtieulrrly through the
winter. Every farmer who raises stock
lias some which it will not pay to keep
longer. Just as soon ns stock reach ma¬
turity thay should bo sold. It is a
daily loss to keep them longer, for they
soon eat themselves up—that is, they
will soon consume their own value in
food. llogs that arc nine or ten
months old should be fattened and
killed. Cows that aro getting old
should be sold off. Two or three year
old steers should be sold. The flock of
sheep should be cu led out and the old¬
est well fed and and sold as soon a3 got
in order. Horses that aro not needed
should b3 put into marketable shape
and sent to market, Get rid of the
poorest and feed the balance with what
they would have eaten, Hold on to
ibe best, and continue to make them
eettcr still by good care and feeding.—

GROWING POTATOES IN RIDGES.
If the ground is rich and remonabl y
free from weeds, the potato crop is bet¬
ter grown in ridges than in hi!Is with
ro.ws botli ways. The small annual
weeds do not much matter, as in tho
ridge system tiic potatoes are planted
deeply, and tho field is harrowed tlior-
oughly beforo the potatoes are up, thus
destroying the small weeds as soon as
they germinate. A good many m re
potatoes can be grown per aero of tha
close-growing varieties which have small
tops and grow their tubers m a bunch.
It seems a waste of laud to devoto a
space of three feet or more each way to
grow a hill of these varieties. Sum
farmers make hills three feet apart one
way, and two feet eight inches the oth¬
er, thus cultivating both ways. But it
is hard work to run a cultivator through
these narrow rows without injuring tlie
plants, and planting in ridgei is prefer¬
able. Early Rose po’.atoes may bo
planted ten to twelve inches apart in
ridges, thui giving three times as many
hills per acre as is possible where rows
are made both ways. When thus plaut-
ed it is customary to seod lightly, one,
or at most two, eyes in a place. This
secures potatoes of hotter size. jf
whole potatoes or pice 31 with a great
number of cyci are planted in ridges,
they are overcrowded, producing many
potatoes too small to bo marketed.—

rOINTS IN SHEEP-KEEPING.
Since it lias become established that
ihoep can ho well wintered on straw,
or, at most, straw and a few cents’
worth of grain, they have advanced in
price. For several years good storo or
keeping sheep could be purchaiod in
the fall for $3 or loss, and now they are
from $4 50 to $3. Several of my towns¬
men, says Ga’cu Wilson in the New
York Tribune, who had not kept
abreast of the sheep markst, because
they are not general readers of the
press, were offered and accepted $3 .26
for their flocks, thinking they could re¬
place them rcaddy at tho low figures of
past years; hut, after several days’
search, they learno l to their chagrin
that they could not buy short of about
$5. But even at $5 good ewes are
cheap; 25 cent? will winter one six
mon.hi , if the , owner has straw, and for
the other six month, her patturago is
worth 5 cents a week,making her year’s
keeping f l 53 Her wool will be worth
$2, aud her lamb $1 to $5, so a largo
percent, of profit is in her fivor, bar¬
ring dogi and accidents.
Some advocate sihigo for sheep-feed¬
ing. It uuswers for wethers and fatten¬
ing ewes, but is not deiirablo for brood¬
ing ewes It has boon tostod, and tho
weight of evidence is against tho prac¬
tice. The ewes do not do well at lamb¬
ing-time, and the lambs are inferior.
After tho lambs are dropped, however,

lamb-growing supplios tho placo of
roots. Timothy hay alone is also an un¬
suitable food for owe, in lamb; it is
constipating, while straw is not. Any
person who will observo the difference
in droppings of straw-fed and hay-fed
sheep will confirm this assertion. When
the evidence is before my eyes that

lamb and every lamb lived, I am in¬
clined to say, though I confess, re¬
luctantly, that straw is sufficient. There
is a bright, immediate future for the
sheep industry.
SOIL FOB HOUSE PLANTS.
The provident gardener, and particu¬
larly the commercial florist, who de¬
pends for his bread and butter upon his
success, is particular about hts soil.
Ever since tho advent of growing
monthly rbses, in such enormous quan¬
tities, -and with sueh marked success.
this soil idea has became a prominent
aae. it was not that the idea was not
known, or that it was not practiced, by
many of the best plant growers, but n
vast number of growers contented them¬
selves, in old timos, by having a sort ol
mixture they called a pottiug soil, and
plants did fairly welt, as a rule; but
with the soil as then used, rose* were
not the success thoy now are.
At the present day, tho successful
•florist or amateur has a pile of sods iu
some out-of-the-way place, where it
will decay, and ho ever ready for pot¬
tiug purposes. Some of tho best rose-
growers in our country use nothiug else
lor their young roses, and there car bo
nothiug bettor; others, in piling up the
sods, alternate the layers with stable
manure. This makes a good compost,
but is a congenial homo for worms and
grubs, which are destructive to the
plants, which liavo to be examined for,
and destroyed before using. This soil
is a base that almost any pot or homc-
grown plant will do well in. If tho
sod in the first instance is without sand,
if for pot-plants, enough good, sharp
Baud should be mixed with it at the
time of potting, to give it a porous
nature, so that tho walor may readily
puss through tho mass, and thus not
stagnate.
The rose of carnation, grown in tho
open or free ground, without potting,
does not need the sand, as the pani¬
cles aro coarser, and allow the excess of
water to pasi through without. Plants
with very fine fibrous roots need more
sandy soil than such as have them
coarser. So also, very small or young
plants are the bettor started, if sanl is
used in their young stages. It also
pays, in this case, to run it through a
sieve, or break up finely by the hand.
For older plants, this is not necessary
nor desirable.— Prairie Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Weasels and similar vermin only give
trouble in very rural neighborhoods.
They generally come in a regular track
and can be trapped, by baiting with
dead birds or chickens.
Tho silo enables the farmer who has
brood mares to keep up the milk flow
in winter, and so time tho foaling, if
lie likes fall colts, as to have his niaros
in working condition in the busy sea¬
son.
Good drainage limit bo provided be¬
foro cold, freealng weather sets in.
Nearly all kinds of fruit plants will bo
seriously injured if the water be al¬
lowed to stand around the roots during
the winter.

The Biggest Earthquakes.
In 365 A. D. the greater part of (he
U ■man world was convulsed by nil
earthquake, which was followed by
tidal waves. For a long time after¬
ward tho city of Alexandria amiudly
commemorated the fatal day whoa 50,-
000 citizens lost their live? in an i iui-
dation. Two centuries later the It >man
empire again was shaken, and credulity
is staggorod by the statement that 251,-
000 lives ivoro lost.
One shrinks from enumerating many
of the great earthquakes of history, for
to attempt tho task is to sun full of
I horrors In the ua;ly history of Amor-
, ca tho disappearance of whole cities
was not unusual. In 1456 60, 003 per¬
sons were killed in Naples. Iu 1759
tlicro were destructive shocks in Syria,
and at Balbcc 20,000 perished. In
17S3 Guatemala, with all its riche? and
8,000 families, wai swallowed up. In
Sicily and LUmbriu, from 1738 to 1781,
the victims reached a total of 80, 000.
China'., capital was destroyed in 1333,
and multitudis were killed in a series
of shocks that wore distributed through
ten years. And so on uutil the statis¬
tics become sickening.
The great Lisbon earthquake of 1755
will be remembered as the ouo in which
tho good Dr. Johnson refused to be¬
lieve, although he pinned his faith to
the story of the Cock lane ghost. This
shock extended over a surface of the
globe four times greater than that of
Europe, destroying the eitios of Fez
and Mesquinez in Mdr; con, with 15,-
090 person’, an I affecting tho coasts of
Greenland, the Iric of Madeira, and the
West Indies, nearly 4000 mit«« a way.
In Lisboa it was All Saints’ day, the
hour of high mass, and all the churches
were crowded. There were three
shocks, and thou the city was in ruins.
Tho earthquake was followed by ihe
horrors of a conflagration.
In the Caracas earthquake of 1812 the
people were praying, like thoio o; LL
non, when desolation came upon them.
It was Thursday of Holy week, and
great numbers were iu the churches.
At least 4000 people perished iu the
downfall of the sacred cd ticos. Oae
cathedral only held out.

UTILIZING SKIM-MILK.
kS INTERESTING AND INSTK1JCTIVE ARTICLE
BT UR, A. WACTI.IN FBOM STOCK¬
HOLM, 8WEDEN.
This gentleman, whose name will be
known alroady by many of our readers
from tho time of his connection with the
Deiaval Separator, was present ut tho N.
Y. State Dairymen’s Convention, held at
Ithaca 10th, 12tli of December, and gave
to the meeting some interesting state¬
ments concerning quite a new feature in
agricultural progress. The subject of
his address was a perfectly new method
of utilizing skim-milk and whey, and to
prove of what great importance to a na-
lion like America, this question would
be. Mr. W. produced statistical state¬
ments from the United States Department
of Agriculture, showing an annual man¬
ufacture of butter in the States of not leos
than one thousand three hundred million
pounds, lion and four hundred and fifty mil¬
two gallons pounds of cheese. Counting about
of slcim-milk to each pound
of butter and, say about one gallon of
whoy to the pound of cheese, the enor¬
mous waste of public wealth could easily
be calculated even if no more than one
cent’s value to the gallon were allowed.
With this new method, however, Mr. W.
claimed not only had this waste been
tual remedied, fact, but, as he could prove by ac¬
the farmer could make a profit
of at least six cents a gallon on his skim-
milk, quite which hitherto had been considered
valueless and. almost a burden to
him.
Tho process of manufacture is quite
inexp in thi ensive. Tho skim milk is curded

cheese, only that a greater quantity of
rennet and higher temperature is used, so
as to make the precipitation as thorough
as in possible. These curds are then placed

At about this time, iu fact, was the turn¬

the fork was so late in coming into use as

The Spirit ot a Signature.
“Did it ever occur to you,” said a treas¬
ury official, “that a forger has half his
work done when he can get hold of the
identical pen with which the owner of
the signature habitually writes? A great
many meD, bank presidents and the like,
use the same pen for their names only for
a year ot two without change. A pen
that has been used by a man in writing
his name hundreds of times, and never
for anything else, will almost write the
name of itself. It gets imbued with the
spirit of tho signature. In the hands of
a good forger it will preserve the charac¬
teristics of the original. Tlic reason for
this is that the point of the pen has been
ground down in a peculiar way, from be¬
ing used always by the same hand and for
the same combination of letters. It would
splutter if held at a wrong angle or
forced on lines against its will. It al¬
most guides the sensitive hand of the
forger when lie attempts to write the
name.”

Aro predicted with reliable accuracy and people
liable to the pains and aches of rheumatism dread
every change to damp.or stormy weather. Although
we do not claim Hood’s Sarsaparilla to be a positive
specific for rheumatism, the remarkable cures it
has effected show that it may be taken for rheuma¬
tism with reasonable certainty of benefit. Its ac¬
tion in neutralising the acidity of the blood, which
isthecauseof rheumat sm, constitutes-the secret
of the success of Hood’s Sarsaparilla in caring th ! s
complaint. If you suffer from rheumatism, give
Hood’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial,* we believe It will
do you good.

Young Journalists,
Not long ago it became known that a
certain New York periodical for boys and
girls was edited by “a man aged thirteen,”
and honor was claimed for the ambitious
youth as the youngest journalist in the
world. Alas, for such fleeting honors!
No sooner was the boys’ and girls’ hero
crowned than a rival sprang into fame, a
rival with the balance of two years to the
good and a reputation as a sen¬
sational paragraphist of the first
water. A little lad • of eleven
years of age, in a corner of Germany, lias
confessed to having been a reporter for
the last five years of his eventful life.
The lad had been having a “lark” in the
streets; the wily gendarme caught him
and brought him up before the magis¬
trate, collecting where it came out that he had been and
material for “his paper,”
that, since he had reached the mature age
of seven, he had been permanently en¬
gaged on the staff to collect news at ac¬
cidents, fires, funerals, and all manner of
festivities.
Hard to Do.
To stand perfectly motionless, and en¬
tirely at ease, is difficult of accomplish¬
ment. Iu society you will find gentlemen
standing on one leg, or with legs crossed,
or feet wide apart, or attempting- to stand
easily with feet close together and toes
out. I say you will notice gentlemen do¬
ing this because an inexperienced stand that person
cannot tell when ladies way.
But they aro just as bad as the men, and
if you study the effect of these pos¬
tures you will be able to tell tho women
as well as the men. The correct attitude
is with one foot slightly advanced and the
other about a foot back of it, with the
toes nearly all right angles. This gives
one latitude to rest the weight of tho
body on either or both feet, and gives
one’s suppleness some expression.
Patti’s Wages.
Patti, the divine singer, receives the
largest wages ever paid to an artist. She
receives three thousand five hundred dol¬
lars every night she sings in the Albert
Hall in London. Even with this and the
expenditure of five thousand dollars for
each concert, her managers are able to
show a profit of from two thousand to
three thousand dollars her per exertions night. Patti
has earned by own more
money than any five women that ever
lived. Her receipts since she began sing¬
ing in public, twenty-five years million ago, dollars, can¬
not be much short of three
and she has several her. years of profitable
farewelliug ahead of
A Nation of Blondes.
If anybody believes that this is not des¬
tined to be a nation of blondes, let him
stutv the statistics of the immigration popula¬ of
the Scandinavian people. The
tion of Norway shows a per centage of
ninety-seven and a quarter of light eyes.
Flaxen hair appears-in fifty-seven and one
twentieth per cent, wliile absolutely black
hair is only found in the ratio of two per
cent. The immigration from Scandina¬
vian countries in 1888 numbered over
eighty thousand, or about one-sixtli of
the entire immigration that year.
The choral singing in Russian churches
is beyond description. No voices are
known like the phenomenal voices of
some of these Russian peasants. Truly
they are * ‘organs,” and the effect churches produced is
by the choir in great vaulted
thrilling.

A New Textile Fabric.
tificial A French chemist chemical has produced an ar¬
silk by the treatment of
cellulose. He obtains a thread which re¬
sembles silk very closely, and is equally
strong and elastic. It is not attacked by
water, cold or warm, nor by the acids
and alkalies moderately concentrated.
A great drawback to this silk is that it is
extremely inflammable, but it is possible 1
that by a change of treatment it may be
rendered less combustible. If this is
done the new textile fabric will be one of
the greatest value.
