“LADY GARDENERS.”
Women Who Have Been Suc¬
cessful in Cultivating the Soil.
A Healthful, Pleasant and Pro¬
fitable Occupation.
"Women have proved they can make
a success of fruit culture, ami it is
not unreasonable to predict that they
would succeed as gardeners. When
they undertake to superintend and
care for their own garden plots (hoy
do well. There aie 62,000 women in
America interested iu the cultivation
of fruit, and among them are some of
the most succcssfiL orchardi.-ti in Cali¬
fornia. Many women iu Die same
state are engaged in raisin culture.
Last year a woman made a pro lit of
<il,600 by cultivating tlie raspberry.
The $1,600 docs not represent nil Die
profit cither. The healthful cxerci«o
in sunshine and fresh air, Iho cheering
consciousness of ownership, Die ab¬
sorbing attention and necessity for
considering all details, which left no
room for despondent though:* and
kept the mind alert and active, are
profits that cannot be estimated, Of
course there are care and industry
needed, but care and industry accom¬
pany every condition of life, and in
tlie old, well-beaten, ethical, (esthetic
and clerical lines of work for women
there is often much worry, and at the
end of tlie yea.’ no profit.
A South Carolina woman has built
up a large and profitable trade in bulbs
among Northern florists. Two sister-
make a tine living in California with a
tract of land devoted to the cultivation
of rose bushes. A young woman in
8an Diego, in Die southern part of the
same state, is doing a paying business
in both Die wholesale ami retail plant
trade. She was a school teacher, a
graduate of tlie University of Cali¬
fornia, and ably filled a position as
principal in one of the school*. She
did not like teaching and had a great
love of botany. She started a florist’s
shop, which has developed into a
nursery.
It i* wise to have some capital to
back all enterprises, and especially
wise in this branch of industry; how¬
ever, one can accomplish something by
utilizing ugly spaces iu hack yards
without expending much money. The
Jerusalem artichoke is a desirable
plant for the “truck patch,” us Die-e
small spaces arc dubbed. It is a sure
crop, and once planted it needs no re¬
planting from year to year. It takes
care ol itself and needs no cellar. It
grows easily and it is a delicious arti¬
cle for table use. It is in its prime
when potatoes are old and unfit for
use. Its blossoms will not sell in
street bouquets, but they will improve
the appearance of the back yard.
A bill has been recently introduced
in the British House of Commons
providing for instruction in agricul¬
ture and horticulture in the elemen¬
tary schools. America is not behind
England in its desire to advance the
interests of horticulture. There is a
movement on foot to have an inter¬
national congress of horticulture held
in connection with the "World's Fair,
“to make a broad study of plant var¬
iation, of the adaptabilities of plants
to all conditions of culture an 1 cli¬
mate, of species and varieties, and of
all oiber points iu which the know¬
ledge of plants touches the welfare of
men.” There are a number of women
interested in the movement.
An Eastern girl went to California
and took up 160 acres of Government
land north of San Francisco. Her
cousins with whom she lived ia the
city made great fun of “her mannish
scheme.” She bore the discouraging
comments buoyantly, hired a man to
fence in her homestead, and had a
■mall one-room house buiit on it. The
man lived there during the Winter
and in the Summer she formed a
camping party which spent the Sum¬
mer months there. Thus she managed
to live the time allotted by law on her
homestead and make the required im¬
provements on the laud. Soon trees,
plants, vines, vegetables and flowers
flourished on the farm. At t" e end
of three years cousins and friend*
were glad lo go to a neat little cottage

Colic Stones Mounted in Gold.
Travelers who have penetrated into
the easternmost parts of southern Rus-
•ia find some strange belief* as to Die
power of fish charms. Many fidi
found in those countries have two
small hard round bones on the sides
of the head. They are believed to
have the power when worn by the
owner to prevent colic, and they arc
termed colic stoues. The more weal¬
thy of the peasants have the colic
stones mounted in gold, and they art
worn upon the neck a* a valuable ad¬
dition to a necklace. The bones of the
common bullhead are much used
among the Russian peasants a* a charm
against fever. Among European na-
tions in the middle ages doctors ol
medicine had faith that two bones
found in the tench have medicinal
virtues. The bones were applied to
the skin in cases of fever. Tiie tench
is an European fish and the United
States fish commission are endeavoring
to introduce it to American water*.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
CLOVER SEED FOB AN ACRE.
Ti is claimed that ten pound* of
clavsr seed in .trc the correct amount
of seed for an acre. This is true only
under certain conditions. Tho main
point in growing clover is to secure a
good “stand” at tlie beginning, and it
more frequently happens that the
seeds do not come up evenly and uni¬
formly. It will not pay to save the
expense of extra seed. Much seed is
lost after seeding by not being cov¬
ered, while birds also sccitto a por¬
tion. About sixteen quarts of seed
will be tlie safer and surer quanity, as
there will he no danger of tl.e “catch”
being too heavy.— [New York Herald.
PREPARATION FOR CORN CROPS.
It is not allege’her the culture that
corn ami potato crops pet while grow¬
ing which deteruiines their profi’ablc-
ness. quite ns much depends upon
having tho soil thoroughly and deeply
pulverized before the crop is planted.
Sometimes it is thought that a mellow
seed bed is sufficient. If the soil is
full of vegetable matter that may de¬
compose them, surface preparation is
enough. It there arc lumps and clods
at tlie bottom of tlie furrow, they
need to ho brought up, pulverized a .d
mixed with the surface soil. The
effect of poor preparation is worse in
drought; but whatever the season, it
always pays to jit the soil thoroughly
and deeply for any hoed crop. It is
as necessary for corn as for potatoes.
The fact that corn roots ordinarily run
near the surface does not do away
with Die need for a reservoir of moist¬
ure deeper down, to be drawn upward
where the roots can reach it by capil¬
lary attraction.— [American Cultiva¬
tor.
TURKEYS.
In raising your turkeys h? careful
Hint they do not get wet. Give hard-
boil d eggs, with a few bread crumbs
soaked in milk for Die first ten days*
with a little pepper dusted into it
after. Chopped corn scalded, with
dandelion leaves or onion tops
chopped up fine and mixed together, 1
find good and palatable food for a
month or so, then small wheat. See
(hat no lice get on them or it is certain j
death; a little sulphur or insect pow- ;
der dusted over them is good. Give j
the old bird a good dusting also. I!
sure they are brought home every
night as I have lost fifteeu in one
nigiit from neglect to house them, 1
generally feed them well at night, and
in a short time they will come home of
their own accord for their evening
meal. Turkeys are very fond of milk,
and it is very good for them, in fact l
feed all my fowl all tlie milk 1 can get
for them.—[Farmer’s Advocate,
“cowy” milk.
Sometimes milk lias a “cowy” odor,
and the cause is little uudeistood,
writes G. W., iu Country Gentleman.
Cows drink large quantities of water
and not haif of it passes on through
Die kidneys. "When in health ami the
skin clean, by far tho larger part finds
an outlet through the pores of tlie skin,
and takes along with it tlie effete mat¬
ter and oflensivc odors which are
(brown off through the fine capillaries
with the perspiration. Proper action
of the skin is as necessary for Die pu¬
rification of thebiood a* i* the healthy
action of Die lungs.
"W hen milk has a “cowy odor, it is
certain that the skin is not working
right, but allows tlie impurities to be
thrown bac . into the blood, whence
] some of Diem find tiieir way back into
the milk, making it smeli of the cow.
i This suggest* that to have pure milk
and sweet huiter, the skin must be
j kept clean and free from scurf which
j til s up the pores; frequent grooming
is the ea-iest way. Clean cows do not
give “cowy” milk. For the same rea¬
son most people afflicted with diabetes
are those who neglect personal clean-
lines*. Incident cases of this malady
can sometimes be remedied by judi¬
cious bathing, and so can offensive
odors of the person.
destroying the codling moth.
At the Iowa Experiment Siation
Professor G’. P. Gillette tested tlie fol¬
lowing insecticides in destroying the
codling mo h: A dry mixture of Paris
green and plaster, one pound of the
former to 100 pounds of the latter, a
solution of Ixuidoii purple, one pound
to 129 gallons of water, carbolized
piaster, one pint of crude carbolic acid
to 100 pounds of common land plaster.
Four trees were used as checks, i. c.
were not treated with any inscctitudc.
When the results were reckoned up in
the ordinary way, it appeared that
“the Paris green and plaster saved 94
per cent., Die London purple 68 per
cent., and the carbolized plaster 34 per
cent, of tlie fruit, which would have
been wormy in the absence of any
treatment.
Tlie author would not recommend
the carbolized plaster, even if better
results were obtained from its use, be¬
cause “it docs not kill Die insect iu
any of its stages, but simply drives the
moths to seek the fruit of neighbor¬
ing trees on which to deposit their
eggs.” Tho fact that “except in
northern latitudes, where tlie insect is
single blooded,” the ordinary mstliod
of estimating the results of such cx-
pertinents gives too small percentages
of fruit saved, is dwelt upon at con-
sluerable length.
The nuthor hold* that “ir. order to
estimate tlie actual protection obtuined,
Die counts for the two brood* must be
kept separate. In this way alone
will proper account be taken of ‘the
great number of egg* that will be laid
upon the sprayed tree* by moths flying
lu from the checks, as well as the
su nller number of eggs which will lie
laid on Die checks because of tlie great
number of larvae of tlie first brood
destroyed on the treated trees in their
vicinity.”—[Courier Journal.
THE (TREAT NECESSITY FOR FODDER.
Tiie part.al failure of oats, hay and
corn in many localities will make it
necessary to lay in a good supply of
fodder iu as good a condition as pos¬
sible, says the St. Louis Republic.
Tlie quality is largely determined by
the stage at which it is cut and the
manner in which it Is stored. If it is
allowed to get too ripe before cutting,
or if not properly stored, much of its
nutritive value will bo lost. It is not
only Die quantity but also the quality
of Die feed supplied that determines
Die benefit it is possible to derive from
live 6tock, and the best results can
only be secured by taking pains to cut
at tlie best stage.
Whether it will bo best to put up in
large or small stook d pcmls upon how
it is to be managed later, it can be
shocked out, tlie corn c:ibbed and the
fodder hauled up and stored under
shelter or put up in good ricks the
better plan will he to cut up and set up
in small shocks, as it will erne and dry
out in much less time, But if it is
left standing in the field to be hauled
out and used as wanted the better plan
will bo to set up In sh cks about six¬
teen hills square. If care is taken to
set up the shocks straight a good shock
will stand alt winter, and while the
outside may be considerably damaged
by exposure Die inside will keep in
good condition.
When Die grains begin to harden is
a good time to begin cutting. No
curing is necessary before shocking
up; in fact, tho most economical plan
of cutting is to carry direct to the
shock as fast as an armful is cut.
Considering tho cost, fodder is one
of the cheapest and best rough feeds
for use during the winter, as the fod-
dcr is grown in growing the grain, so
that the work of cutting and shocking
up and of hauling out and feeding is
the principal item in the cost; and for
this reason it will pay to take some
pains to save all that will be needed
during tlie winter.
To avoid waste in feeding good
racks should be provided, as it is not
good economy to feed any kind of
rough feed ou the ground. A still
better plan is to use a good feed cutter
and run all the fodder through it, cut¬
ting into short lengths before foeding.
With good mangers the waste can be
made very small by this plan. Iu ad¬
dition to this the manure will be much
more convenient to handle. But if
tlie fodder is run through a cutting
box before feeding the manure can be
handled very readily. It will be a
considerable saving if the fodder can
all be hauled out reasonably early iu
tlie fall and stacked or stored conven¬
ient to tlie feeding lots, where it can
be fed out as needed. If care is taken
iu doing the work the loss by exposure
can be considerably lessened.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Keep fighting the bugs and briera.
Select seed-corn before frost comes.
‘ U,dy " le ,,ew macWne at lhe fair *
Give windfall app es to tlie porkers.
“Down” sheep are coming to the
:op.
Wait until the frost kills tlie flies
before painting your buildings.
Save all the coarse fodder you can.
It works in well with the finer.
It is either a cold or a hot day when
nothing useful can be done on a farm.
The Fall is the seeding time for
weeds. Destroy them before tho seed
fall*.
.Manage to let no fertilizing material
go to waste. It indirectly brings
cash.
Let your poultry have just as much
range as possible during this time of
year.
Don’t pasture your meadows too
closely. Leave a little something for
a mulch.
A half-blood for the dairy or the
shambles i6 often practically as good
as a fullblood.
You may force animals into eating
poor food, but nature will take re¬
venge on you for it.
Herbs for Winter use should bo
carefully dried in tho shade ami
kept in a cool, dry place.
Keep your stock in good marketable
condition. Then you are ready to sel
when the market is right.
Remember that ail kinds of crops
require air and sunshine to develop
them. Don’t crowd them.

Compressed Tea.
An attempt is being made to intro¬
duce the use of compressed tea. It is
claimed that it has many advantages
over loose tea, the chief cf which is
that the leaves being submitted to
heavy dydraulic pressure, ail the ceils
are broken and the constituents of the
leaf aro more easily extracted by the
boiling water, thus affecting a con¬
siderable saving in the quantity re-
quired for US6. Its grout luiviv tllgcs
over loose tea, however, would seem
to I)C its lMOl’G portable lliaracter, and,
in the case of long sea voyages, or for
use iu expeditions, the reduction of
its bulk to one-tliird. The compres¬
sion of tea in blocks further, it is said,
constitutes a real and important im¬
provement iu the treatment of Dio
leaf. It is claimed that trouble, waste
and uncertainty are avoided and that
exactitude in measuring is insured. It
is also alleged that by compression the
aromatic properties or the leaf are re¬
tained for a much longer period and
that it is better preserved from damp
and climatic changes.— [New Vo)‘.k
