FARM AND GARDEN.
Hay ami Harvest.
Our climate i 9 so warm that the dates
for cutting the grass crop and the grain
will vary materially and the time will be
very dieerent within localities not far
separated. The maturity of grain pro
ceeds very rapidly toward the end.
Every experienced farmer has h s view
as to the proper condition in which his
wheat should he cut. While some pre
fer to cut while the grain is still “in the
dough,” others prefer to wait until the
grain is just “out of the dough.” Where
there is a broad area to be harvested, it
is perhaps better to begin a few days
too early than to have the last of the
harvest a few days too late. If hay is to
be sold, it is cut later than if to be con
sumed on the farm; the pur Lasers pre
fer it so.— American, Agriculturist.
Remedy tor Wire Worms.
The common wire worm is not readily
destroyed by caustics or other appl ca
tions spread upon the land. 1 hese
worms will live for hours in a saturated
solution of salt, also in a caustic lime
moistened with water; and it is not at
all probable that a hundred bushels per
acre of either would seriously disturb the
worms feeding six inches below the sur
face. As we cannot readily destroy the
worms, we should seek to make the grain
planted or sown distasteful by soaking
it in poisons or some strong-scented so
lution, or even coating it with such of
fensive substances as coal tar. The
latter has been used for this purpose
quite extensively, and with excellent re
sults. A teacupful of soft tar is sufficient
to coat a bushel of seed corn, and then
byaddirga few handfuls of dry soil or
wood ashes the grain is prevented from
sticking .‘ogether or to the hands when
planted. Crows will not pull up tarred
corn, and there are few insects or worms
that will molest it.— New York Sun.
Fitting Bones for Fertilizer.
Strong lye will rapidly disorganize
bones, says a professor in a Michigan
college, especially if boiled in the lye;
the ossein or organic matter of bones is
rapidly dissolved and they become brit
tle. If wood ashes cannot be got in
sufficient quantity, bones may be fitted
for use as lertilizers by breaking into
coarse fragments with a hammer and
then boiling them with a mixture of sal
soda, caustic, lime and water. The or
dinary carbonate of soda or sal-soda
ought not to cost more than three or
four cents a pound when purchased in
quantity. Three pounds of sal-soda and
two pounds of caustic lime boiled up in
two gallons of water will make a solu
tion that will rapidly act on broken
bones when boiled with them. When
the bones are well softened and brittle,
the whole mass may be mixed with eight
or ten times its volume of ary muck, or
turf mould and thoroughly mixed, when
a valuable manure will be secured. The
potash of woodashes, moreover, is more
valuable as manure than soda.
Some Friends of the Farmer.
In concluding a recent bulletin from
the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station, Kev. George 1). Hulst, Ento
mologist, says: It may also be an advan
tage to point out some of the friends of
the farmer, which, consequenntly, no
farmer should destroy, or allow to be de
stroyed. Among these are toads, which
are, under all circumstances, the farm
er's friend 1 ; moles and field mice, proba
bly, do a vast deal more of good than
harm ; all birds, especially robins, wrens,
thrushes, orioles, cuckoos, phebes, blue
birds, woodpeckers, swallows and cat
birds. The destruction of all these
and many others, except for scientific
purposes, should be made, under very
heavy penalties, illegal in every State.
The house sparrow, known better as the
English sparrow, is to be rated an ex
ception. This bird is now universally
regarded as a nuisance, first, because of
its grain and vegetable destroying pro
pensities; secondly, it drives away in
sect destroying birds. Among insects,
many wasps are friends, especially those
with a more or less protruding horn or
sting at the end of the abdomen. Lady
bugs and lace wing fiies live entirely
Upon destructive insects, especially plant
lice and scale insects, and should never
be destroyed. Dragon flies, or devil’s
darning needles, are also useful and
harmless.
Removing Forest Trees.,
The following method of removing
foifijt trees is recommended in the
fmiirie Farmer, which says:
“It is novel and probably better
adapted to the South than the North,
though there are some trees probably
that it might answer for here. There
are few trees more ornamental than some
of those from our forests, when planted
in open ground and properly cared for
and pruned. There is always more or
less loss connected with transplanting
these trees, which has kept many from
putting them out, but Hon. Mr. Bielbv
has adopted a method of moving trees
that does away with a good deal of risk
and loss. On his place, two miles north
of De Land, he has planted a row of
magnolias, holly, oak and other trees
which are doing well and certainly
recommend his plan. In the case of
holly and magnolia he dug up trees that
were from four to six inches in diameter,
and sawed them off at the crown. By
doing this a great many more can be
carried at one time and much more
easily handled. The stumps are planted
in the usual way and a stake put up to
mark the place. In a short time several
shoots appear and these are allowed to
grow for a while and then all but the
most shapely and thrifty are cut off. Mr.
Bielby claims that the tree thus planted
makes a much more thrifty growth, and
places its shape under control and is
much more satisfactory every way. Try
it.”
Preserving Eggs.
Although there are dozens of methods
for preserving eggs, yet but few of them
are worthy of notice. Limed eggs have
been almost unsalable {.his year, and the
lime method will soon be discarded. We
give below a few rules that will enable
our readers to preserve eggs in a good
condition for at least "three months,
though eggs have been kept, as long as
six months by the process.
1. Always use fresh eggs, and do not
rely on those from your neighbor. You
must know that every egg is fresh, as
one sts’e egg may injure all.
2. 1 so eggs only from hens not in
company with cocks, as such eggs will
keep three times as long as those con
taining germs of < hicks.
3. Keep them in a cool place—the
cooler the better. Anywhere near 40
degrees above zero will answer, though
00 degrees will be cool enough for a few
months. Only be careful that eggs do
not free e.
4. Turn them half over three times a
week, to prevent them from adhering to
the shells. The turning of the egus is
very important, and is one of the secrets
of success.
5. No packing material is necessary.
Simplv lay them on racks or shelves;
though if preferred they may be packed
in boxes, in dry oats, and the boxes
turned.
0. Solutions, greasing the eggs, egg
preserving preparations, etc., are un
necessary, as s ime of them injure the ap
pearance of the eggs.
7. Wash every egg clean ! efore plaeing
it with the others.
If the above rules are followed there
will be no difference between the eggs
so preserved and those that are fresh.
No person can succeed in preserving
eggs who buys them from all sources,
and who does not know just when every
egg was laid, and it is on that point so
many failures occur. You cannot place
any dependence on eggs except from
your own hens. Even your neighbor is
sometimes unable to prevent getting a
stale egg in among the fresh ones. Never
use stale eggs as nest eggs, or allow sit
ting hens to be in a room with your lay
ers. The greatest care should be exer
cised, and the eggs kept always cool.— l
F irm and Fireside.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Strong soap-suds will kill the lice in
the plum trees.
The sure way to break a hen from egg
eating is to cut oil her head.
Give plenty of pure water and green
food to hogs in pea at this season of the
year.
The [only gain in drilling in corn is in
planting quick and getting fertilizer in
with the seed.
Thorough tillage pays ever, better when
chemical fertilizers are used than it does
for stable manure.
If your pigs are in a pasture where
good water is not plentiful, see to it that
they have a regular supply.
The flower garden and the field will
be the cheapest as well as the loveliest
pasture for those who keep bees.
Fine, stout carriage horses are always
quick of sale at extra high prices, as the
supply is never equal to the demand.
Many farmers lose half the profit, or
make none at all, from neglect to feed
properly with a view to tne growth of
wool and mutton.
If you have any young burdocks about
your farm, cut them down and give to
your horses. At this time of the year it
will be good for them both.
I For a shady spot under the trees and
shrubs, where the soil is rich and not too
dry, there is nothing more satisfactory
than lily-of-the-valley. To plant it once,
is to have it forever in the garden.
A churn should be scalded with boil
| ing water, made alkaline with washing
soda. Every particle of milk or cream
should be removed. After being well
I washed the churn should be rinsed by
I again using boiling water.
Odors in the stable indicate that the air
therein is impure. Use of absorbents is
very important in summer. Once a week
the stable should be sprinkled with a
solution made of one pound of copperas
in two gallons of soft water.
Every person keeping poultry should
keep an accurate account with his stock,
placing all the expenditures incurred
and the amount of* the receipts on the
proper sides of the sheet. The losses
should, of course, be charged to the ex
pense account.
To prevent bees from 1 eing poisoned
by arsenical solutions applied to orchard
trees, such application should be deferred
until just after the blossoms have
dropped, at which time it is also the
most effective in preventing injury from
the codling worm.
Professor H. Muller, an eminent bot
anists. says that the best time to prune
vines is while the grapes are ripening,
and that the shoots should be selected
for this purpose, as they require for
their development a large quantity of
sugar, to the detriment of the ripening
fruit.
The brownish bunches which appear
on red cedars are not the fruit, but a
common fungus, a parasite, which grows
on these trees, but no others. It does no
harm, and is thought ornamental by
some. It is not worth while taking any
pains to prevent them, as the trees do
not suffer.
Plum trees will thrive well in a poul
try yard, and be less subject to the at
tack of the curculio. The trees will re
quire the usual jarring, but the insects
will be destroyed by poultry, lessening
the liability of damage the succeeding
year. All plum trees should be in poul
try yards, but do not allow them to act
as a roost.
It is useless to look for a harvest of
honey from weak colonies, and as the
heavy flow occurs generally in June, if
the bee-keeper does not bestir himself he
will be caught with many weak stocks.
Daily stimulative feeding will secure
colonies strong in numbers, with a pow
erful force of willing laborers, ready to
gather the honey harvest at any moment
it presents itself.
Many farmers claim that if a large po
tato with all eyes cut out but one be
planted, a larger per cent, of early mar
ketable potatoes will be produced than
if the seed were cut or small potatoes
planted whole. A study of this subject
was made at the Wisconsin Agricultural
Experiment. Station last season with four
varieties, the result in each case being in
favor of the large prepared seed. Ex
periments at this station also showed
that results are best when fresh cut seed
is used.
It is a good plan, just before haying
and harvesting, to get a supply of car
riage bolts of the most common lengths
—two, three, four and six inches by
three-eighths, one half and five-eighths
of an inch, a few of each sire in e*ch
length, also a few of the shortest ones
possible, just for the nuts. You can get
them this way at the store much cheaper
than you can to have the blacksmith
make them. These bolts will cost but a
cent or two each, and the saving of time
and hay when you need one in the field
is beyond calculation.
SHOOTING THE CASCADES.
The Perilous Rim of a Steam boat
on the Columbia River.
All "was now in reaJiness, and a hush
of breathless expectancy hung over the
greet crowds that lined both sides of the
river and blackened every available point
of lookout. Not a word was spoken,
and nothing was heard but the loud
roaring of the angry, seething, tumbling
mass of waters, tearing ever the roek
ribbed channel.
Six loud, sharp whistles were given
from the locomotive as a signal to the
iliis.-alo that all was ready. These vig
orous, shrill notes were heard above the
tinauk-r of the crashing waters. Capt.
James W.Troup was not slow in respond
ing to the signal. He gave six whistles
and tapped the engineer’s gong. A
moment later the Hassalo’s wheel was
seen beating the water into foam. She
moved gracefully from the wharf, swung
round deliberately, just as if she was
going to make a smooth, quiet, httle
trip. Interest now became intense, and
thousands of eyes were bent with a
strained tension on the steamboat. Now
she backed behind the little island mid
way of fhe channel, swung clear, aud
steadied herself for the fearful plunge.
For a moment the boat seemed to
halt, like an eagle poising for a long and
lofty flight, then, with her sharp and
glistening prow aimed at the great roar
ing breach, she shot toward the green,
rolling masses. From shore to shore
the first line of the rapids stretched like
a cordon of breakers, and thundered like
the tumultuous surf. With a fuli head
of steam, the Hassalo entered the upper
break in the waters, and here receiving
the first impulse of the mighty current,
made a plunge that thrilled the crowd
as if touched by an electric shock.
“There she goes,” exclaimed a thous
and voices, in low, subdued tones.
Crossing the break the steamboat rose
pointing her bow upward at a sharp
angle, and then blindly plunged down
ward as if going to the bottom, but she
came up with the buoyany of a cork, and
now having committed herself to the
mercy of the rapids, flew with the speed
of an arrow through and over the surg
ing, boiling waters.
Less than thirty seconds elapsed from
the time the Hassalo entered the crest of
the rapids until she had passed from
view around the abrupt bend in the
river, going with a tremendous rate of
speed. So quick were the rapids shot that.
the feat was accomplished almost before
the crowds could realise it. After pass
ing from view the steamboat flew down
the shining course at locomotive speed,
and never paused in her wild career un
til the Lower Cascades were reached.
This distance was made in less than
seven minutes. Capt. Troup deserves
great credit for the cool, steady and
courageous manner in which he made
the perilous run. We say perilous, for
the passage was made at the lowest
stage ever made by any other boat, ex
cept the Okanogan, many years ago.
Curious Statistics.
A recent speaker, says the Christian
Advocate, says that the negroes in this
country have multiplied eight times in
a century. As they have 7,000,000 now,
in 1980 they will amount to 192,000,000.
If they maintain the same relative rate
of increase they will. The whites in ten
years, by births and immigration, have
increased 30 per cent. At this rate there
will be 800,000,000 whites and over 200,-
000,000 negroes—in all 1,000,000,000 —in
the United States in 1088. Who believes
either of these statements? By that
method one can prove that the Methodist
Episcopal Church will soon have more
communicants than the world will con
tain people. Last year it gained 5 per
cent net. This rate will double its mem
bership every fourteen years. Hence, in
1902 it will have 4,000,000; in 1916,
8,000,000; in 1930, 16,000,000; in 1844,
32,000,000; in 1958, 64,000,000; in 1972,
127,000,000; and so, doubling every four
teen years, in the year 2084, less than
2,000 years from the prrsent date, there
will be 32,767,000,000 of members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in the
United States alone! Toil on, then,
brethren. Do not let the fact that, ac
cording to the figures of the speaker
quoted above, there will be only 6,400,-
000,000 negroes and 13,200,900 whites
in all 19,600,000,000 —of people in the
United States at that time disturb you!
Who cares for a little deficit of 3,168,-
0000,000? Great is statistics! Of course,
other denominations are deluding them
selves. They think that they are in
creasing, but, as we are going to in
clude the whole population, and sev
eral thousand millions more, they
must cease to exist! The only trou
ble is, that if some of them continue
to grow, as at present, the multiplica
tion table will wipe us out in the same
way.

BuTulo’s Negro Ball Flayer.
Grunt, the colored second baseman of
the Buffalos, is the only negro playing
professionally with any club in the dif
ferent associations. He is a fine ball
tosser, all the same, and hasn’t many
superiors among players either white or
black. I think he gets S6OO a year for
his services, while, if lie had a white
skin, he could easily demand $2,000.
Graut is very popular in Buffalo, and
for that reason the management is forced
to hold him, although the players of the
club are said to feel keenly having to
play with a colored man. In the East

at the same table and possibly occupies

FOR OLD PEOPLE!
In old people the nervous system is
weakened, and that must he strengthened.
One of the most promim ut medical
writers of the day, in sptaking of the
prevalence of rheumatic troubles among
the aged, says: “ The various pains,rheu
matic or other, which old people often
complain of, and which materially disturb
their comfort, result from disordered
nerves.” There it is in a nutshell—
the medicine for old people must be a
nerve tonic. Old people are beset with
constipation, flatulency, drowsiness, diar
rhoea, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia.
These diseases are of nervous origin.
Paine’s Celery Compound, that great
nerve tonic, is almost a specific in these
disorders, and by its regulating influence
on the liver, bowels, and kidneys, re
moves the disorders peculiar to old age.
Old people find it stimulating to the
vital powers, productive of appetite, and
a promoter of digestion.
