FARM. worms
__To Get Kid of Weeds.
Sreen manuring may be the means
of cleansing the field from weeds, for
wticli purpose, of course, only the
crops of th© most rapid growth are
heeial. It increases the store of or¬
ganic matter in the soil, and so fuvn
isiics the conditions favorable for the
these, multiplication of earth worms, and
as Darwin has pointed out, by
their activities improve the soil in
which many ways, most important among
are better aeration, bringing of
the finer materials in the top, pulver¬
ization and increased solubility of its
constituents. —Professor William P.
Brooks, of Massachusetts.
The Ox-Eye Daisy.
There are many who admire the
daisy as a flower, and even the large
the oxeye, larger and more showy than
common varieties, is not without
those who think it beautiful. But it
hardly needs to be added that these
are have mostly city people, or those who
not become acquainted with the
daisy’s peculiarities. It is a most
abundant seeder, and once in the land
it is almost impossible to get rid of it
Yet there was a time when this vile
pest was sent out to be cultivated in
gardens as a beautiful flower. Dur¬
ing one of the last years we were on
the farm, a handsome carriage with
team, showing a family taking a drive
through the country, called at the
house, and the lady of the party asked
us in the most polite tones possible if
we would be kind enough to allow
them to pluck a * ‘few of the beautiful
flowers” which she saw growing amid
the grass and clover. Of course con¬
could sent was readily given, though we
hardly repress a smile. Yet it
cut early, before its seed is formed,
the daisy makes a hay which stoek will
eat if forced to it. It has then rather
tnote than half as much nutrition as
good hay.—Boston Cultivator.
Cost «i Growing; a Cow.
The lecturer of the New Hampshire
Grange has been making an estimate
of how cheaply a heifer calf can be
raised until it is sixteen months old,
by whieh time the heifer may begin to
pay her way. Assuming the calf tc
be dropped the first of October, he
estimates the cost of feeding it on
fikiminilk thickened with ground flax¬
seed and Borne hay for the first five
months or twenty-one weeks, at $9.57.
The next three months bringing it tc
the pasturing season cost nearly six¬
ty-four cents per week, or $8.28. Pas¬
ture will vary with locality and is
reckoned extremely low, calces being
often pastured for $1.50 to $2.50 for
the season. The last three months
cost $9.48, making a total for sixteen
months of $28.81. The lecturer adds
that if there be much increase of ex¬
pensive foods, like flaxseed, thejeosi
of growing the calf will be considera¬
bly increased. These figures are
strongly confirmatory of the belief of
many old farmers that it does not pay
to grow a heifer into a cow, and that
it is cheaper to buy the cow after all
these costs and the risk of loss have
been borne by somebody else. It is a
fact, however, that a cow grown on
the farm and always used to it w'ill be
generally a better cow than she will if
Bold to be sent to some other place.
The cow has a great love for the home
where she was brought up, and in
etances have been known where they
have been sold to a distance, of their
escaping in the night and making
their way to the familiar barnyard
where were reared.
Popcorn as a Crop.
It hardly pays to grow popcorn as a
field crop, under ordinary circum¬
stances. The consumption of pop¬
corn is a considerable item, and a
farmer may be so situated that he
could grow it profitably, but we should
not care to attempt it. It is not s
certain crop, and it seems, for some
unaccountable reason, to fail more
easily in a large field than in a small
patch. It is capable of yielding fifty
bushes to the acre, but it does not
often do it. It mixes so easily with
other corn—which, of course, destroys
its market value—that unless planted
far away from other corn, we get a
variegated nothing.
But if we succeed iu getting a crop,
we meet with serious difficulties in
keeping it, and to get the best prices
it must be kept a year, and under the
very best conditions. It must be
kept dry, absolutely dry, and, with
the ordinary farmer’s facilities for
large storage, that is not au easy
thing. If there should be some place
on the farm that will insure dryness,
rats ahd mice will be the next trouble,
and these pests not only destroy a
great deal of the* corn, but will taint
even more than they eat. The only
practical way of keeping it from rats
and mice is to cover the crib, which
ought to be in some building, with
fine wire netting, and that is too ex¬
pensive. It is the practice of some
who do not grow it upon too largo a
scale, to throw it upon the bare floor,
shovel over every day for a week, and
then barrel. Two or three inch holes
are bored in each end of the barrel for
tlie admission of air. But this does
not always save the corn from mice.—
The Epitomist.
Th« JajtaaMr and Thrlr Hair.
The most striking difference be¬
tT^een the knpearanoe of the male and
female Japanese lies in the hair. The
men shave nearly the whole of the
head, while the women allow it to
grow, and even add to it by art when
required. It is then twisted and coiled
iato elaborate and fantastic- patterns,
which fen Eastern hairdressers could
imitate or equal.
The hairpins used are not so much
for confining the hair as for actual
adornment, and are very fashionable.
They are of enormous size, seven or
eight inches in length, and half an inch
wide, and are made of various sub¬
stances—tortoiseshell, carved wood and
ivory—many el them being composed
of carved figures adroitly pivoted so as
to appear to dance at every breath
drawn by the wearer.
Others are made of glass and are
hollow, and nearly filled with
bright colored liquid, so that at
movement of the head an air bubble
runs from one end of the pin to the
other, producing a most curious ef¬
fect in a strong light.
Sometimes an extra fashionable wo¬
man will wear a dozen or more of these
pins in her hair, so that at a little
distance her head looks as if a -bundle
of firewood had been closely stuck in¬
to it.
