“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 In a charming garden and look with commendation upon the result of a girl’s enterprise.—[New Y’ork Times. 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*. —[New York Sun. 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. A Thoughtful Wife. •‘Did you see the Eiffel Tower while you were in Paris?” ••No, my wife wouldn’t let me. She was afraid I might fail off.” “How thoughtful!” “Yes, you know there’s a clause in my life insurance policy which cancels Die payment iu case of accident on for- eign soil.

I. N. Blankinship, of Marion,Mass., has a clock which was made in 1732.

Several old villages in Cass County, Michigan, have clung to the ancient custom of ringing the church bells whenever anybody dies.

Tlie plants yield so little of the milky white juice from which the narcotic is made that with the high price of labor iu this country the cul¬ tivation of opium is not commercially feasible. D.-. Marv Walker asked Congress to pass a law to appoint a national costumer. He will be a member of Die Cabinet, and will make designs every three months for tlie dresses of every lady in the land.

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.

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 Telegram.
