TOPICS OF INTFSKE >T RKLiATIVE
TO FARM AND GAHOiOX.
The Front Gate.
The front gate needs looking after. No
dotfbt it has a hard time to keep itself
straight and level and on the square, but
it has always a weak point which is the
heel or hinge post. This j>ost has to bear
an enormous weight, because of the long
level ago of the gate, which increases the
pressure of the gate’s weight, or any
other weight many times. T° remedy
the general failing of the gate's, several
points ffiouhl le looked to. The gate
should not be any longer than r>e essary
to pass a wagon driven in straight and
fairly, and never crosswise. 'I he gate
should be well braced, the heel post
heavy, and set at least four feet in the
ground, with a large unhewn butt under
the surface, tamped all around with
stone, and then tilled in all around with
cement so as to consolidate the whole
into a mass. Then a gate sill of four
inch plank a foot wide should be lifted
firmly between the heei post and the
latch post, and covered with six inches
of soil. The heel post should be eight
feet above ground, and the main gate
post quite as long, with a long diagonal
brace, an iron rod with a screw and nut
at one end is the best, from the top of
this to the foot of the fiont post. Fuch a
gate will not sae under any ordinary cir
cumstances. —New York Times,
Crows in the Corn Field.
A few mornings ago, while passing
through my corn-tie d, gun in hand, in
tent on shooting crows that were pulling
my corn, I wondeied, says a farmer in
the New York World, why some Yankee
had not invented something that would
frighten and keep away the crows from
the corn-field without killing them. I
know the crows to be the farmers’ best
friend and insect eater among all the
birds we have. A plan or invention sug
gested itself to my mind that I had never
heard even hinted at. It is this: Take
a cotton rope, say one-fourth of an inch
in diameter, rather loosely twisted, and
fasten powder crackers by inserting the
fuse of the crackers through the string
at any distance apart you may wish you
may have them exploded from live
minutes to one hour apart, which is en- 1
tirely optional. After fastening the fire
crackers to the cotton string by insert
ing the fuse, place them on a board in
your corn-field. Straighten out your
string, light at one end, and you will
find it will carry the lire its entire length,
exploding the tire-crackers in its pro
gress whenever met, and the fire will
hold to the string.
If you wish a louder report than the
small fire ciackers give, use the larger
ones known as double headers. In damp'
or rainy weather protect the string and
crackers by covering with a board. Now
this is a sure protection, as I have tried
it and so have my neighbors, and all
pronounce it a great success. It is my
invention and I hereby publish it for the
benefit of my brother corn-growers. It
has the merit of being cheap, as it caa
be run for a cent or two a day, starting
it early in the morning with a string long
enough to last the day.
Should your corn-field be large, have
two or three strings going at once. The
larger lire crackers are best, as the report
is louder.
I would like to have my brother far
mers tell me through the columns of the
World of some practical way of destroy
ing “live-forever” and mustard that have
possession of a field. Digging is out of
the question.
Curing and Keeping Cheese.
The stage at which to apply salt to the
curd is a critical one in chee3e-making,
and requires a pretty accurate test to de
cide. There are several, the most cer
tain being that soft peculiar feeling
known as “velvety;” equal quantities of
butter and whey exuding on the curd
being firmly squeezed in the hand; the
response to th 3 hot iron being the flavor
of nice toasted cheese, etc The mois
ture of cheese consists of the water of
the whey still remaining, the essential
and some of the volatile oil derived
from the-butter, and the butter fats. In
a skimmed milk or very poor cheese the
proportion of whey is large, and when it
has passed its proper stage of ripeness
part of it will evaporate and the cheese
apparently lose its quality, though it is
merely water it is losing. In full milk
or rich cheese the proportion is reversed,
and the moisture being from richness
the cheese will improve by long keep
ing.
Speaking generally, a cheese with little
moisture is slow to ripen; with too much
moisture, it matures too soon. To know
the proper grist all through is the touch
stone of the cheese-maker s skill. If the
curd is too moist it may be improved by
using less rennet, or by keeping up
slightly higher temperature, by breaking
the curd finer before scalding, or by in
creasing the quantity of salt. A cheese,
after being kept in the press for two
days or so, should be neatly bandaged
and removed to the cheese-room, one
end is then rubbed with melted butter,
the other similarly at the lirA turning
on the shelves, a process which may be
repeated with benefit. The cheese-room
should be so constructed that certain
and easy control of the temperature can
be secured—about sixty-tfte degrees be
ing the average desired. Overheating
melts the butter fats, and they then be
come rancid and spoil the flavor of the
cheese. Finally, turn daily and rub well;
a good cheese should have its surface
smooth and clean. —Prairie Fanner.
Petroleum as a Preservative.
A correspondent of the Orange County
Farmer discourses on the use of crude
petroleum as a wood preservative as fol
lows-. “t is claimed by some of those
who have tried it that a fence past
painted with crude petroleum will last
much longer than* those set without.
There ,are those again who claim that an
application of petroleum in their case
does' not add anything to the length of
time the post will last. That this oil
does contain protective properties is con
ceded by all who have used it to any ex
tent. That it does not protect in all
cases where applied to leuce posts is no
doubt due to the difference in the soil
and also to the condition of the post at
the time it was painted or coated with
the oil, for to soak a green post with
petroleum and set it at once is a waste of
time, and all posts should be thoroughly
seasoned before they are coated with oil
or any other protective, and never set
until dried through and through. A
coating of petroleum on shingles will
acid much to their lasting qualities if
applied after they are laid on the roof,
but she proper way is to dip the shingles
in the whole length before they are laid.
T.iis can best be clone by having the oil
'in a trough large enough to dip the ends
of the bunches in up to the middle, and
when they are taken out lay them on a
slanting board that will save the drip
pings and carry them into the trough
in which the shingles are dipped.
Twenty-five cents’ worth of oil applied
in this way will make them' last twice
the length of time they otherwise would.
I would not advocate coating them on
the roof unless theypre already lain, in
which ease nothing better can be done
with them. In applyying petroleum or
any other paint to a shingle roof already
laid, you find yourself in the same predi
cament that Pat was when his employer
ordered him to grease the wagon. He
said he greased it inside and out, but
couldn’t get at the sticks the wheels
hung on. In applying oil to a shingle
roof after it is laid, you can't get at the
spot where it is most needed to make it
effective. A barrel of crude oil and a
keg of brown metallic paint will pay in
the life they add in the wood work to
which they are applied and be worth ten
times what they cost in the neat tidy ap
pearance of the fences, gates and out
buildings. The petroleum can be ordeied
from any dealer in oils, and ought not
to cost more thau eight cents with the bai -
rel included, and in localities close to oil
wells it can often be bought for half the
price. The paint will cost from 3to 5
cents a pound in accordance with the
quantity you purchase, outside figure
being for small lots. Never mix paint
in the petroleum that is applied to
shingles, as it is only a waste of ma
terial.”
Farm and. Garden Notes.
A good garden is a paying invest
ment.
Agriculture makes the true riches of
a nation. *
The question is not how large a farm
do you own, but how good a one it is.
Lack of shade in hot weather, too
much exposure to the sun, is also a prolific
cause of disease.
The general aspect of the dairy animal
is thinner, sharper and more angular
than the feeding animal.
When butter is gathered in the churn
in granular form it is never over-churned.
Pounding it after it is in a lump or large
muss is what over-churns it.
When the milk foams and froths in
the churn, the probability is that the
temperature is not correct; hence use a
thermometer when churning.
A close, unventilated, or imperfectly
ventilated house is emphatically a foul
house. Better cold than foul air. Better
the danger of frozen combs than the
multiplication of germs of disease.
Selfish interest should induce tax
payers in farming districts to make their
highways good, but they go on botching
them, year after year—anything to get
the dues assessed marked off the roll.
At a recent meeting of the American
Bee-Keepers’ Association, several mem
bers of experience gave the cost of
producing honey. The general average
of the estimates was about ten cents per
pound.
The beet grain for young colts
is crushed old oats. Barley crushed,
not ground, but coarsely cracked is next
best. For spring colts begin with a
pint at a feed and gradually increase as
the colt grows.
Potatoes are dried, as fruits are,
for use on ships and in mining
camps, where the fresh vegetables can
not be easily procured. The potatoes
are sliced and dried in a common
evaporator, just as apples are, and when
used are soaked in water twelve hours
to soften and freshen them.
A New York farmer states that he
used only coal-gas tar to prevent the
ravages of the potato beetle. He puts
a gallon of tar i: a tub, over which he
pours boiling water, which is allowed
to settle and cool. This is sprinkled
over the vines with an ordinary sprinkler.
A gallon of tar costing seventy-five
cents suffices for several acres of po
tatoes.
A practical test will convince the
dairyman who has not tried it, that his
cows are capable of consuming and di
gesting a much larger amount of food
than the usual allowance. Experiments
ot this kind will soon denote which of
the cows pays best, by noting whether
the excess of food is converted into in
creased quality of milk or converted
into flesh.
The Home and Farm gives the follow
ing novel method of making cabbage
head. It says that “when the plants
are about eight inches high and have
formed woody stalks, make in isions in
the stalks with the smajl blade of a pen
knife, insert small pieces of wood of the
size of a match, and break them off.
This checks the growth, and hard heads
will be formed.”
The growth of a splint may be
arrested by blistering the part with bin
iodi; e of mercury once a week for two
or three times, which will lead to the
absorption of the abnormal growth.
When the splint does not cause lameness
it would be best to leave it alone. When
lameness is caused it would be well to
try the blistering and give the horse a
rest during the treatment.
A horn that has been broken
off by accident leaving the core
remaining should be treated as follows:
Take a strip of cloth, smear it with
common pine tar and wrap it around the
core, fastening the end securefy in the
best way practicable. l eave it thus un
til the bandage comes off, when the core
will have a hard covering and give no
more tronble. But the horn will not
grow again.
In harvesting wheat almost every one
has noticed little heaps of straw uni
formly a few inches in length and won
dered what could have been the cause of
it. It was the work of field-mice. The
little rodents did it to get the grain.
They gnaw off the stalk as high as they
can reach, and it drops down endways,
the surrounding stalks prevent it from
falling over, and they continue the
process until the head is reached. Bab
bits do the same. Their work may be
known by the pieces of straw being
longer and they cease operations before
the grain is fully ripe.
A fruit-raiser in Indiana finds cop
peras—sulphate of iron—the cheapest
and least dangerous substance that can
be employed for killing currant worms.
He gives the followiug direction for its
use: “To one gaf.on of rain water add a
teacupfui of copperas, dissolving the
copperas in the water, and, with an
ordinary sprinkler, sprinkle well the
bushes about the time the worms first
make their appearance. If this applica
tion is made at the time the first signs of
these pests are noticed once is enough,
but should they hatch and become
numerous then two or three more
sprinklings are required.”
Adulterated Condiments.
“Wee flour and white meal can l»e
mingled with white peppei in reasonable
quantities and experts in spices cannot,
detect it,” said a leading New York
grocer to a Mail and. Express reporter.
“In fact there is no trade in which adul
teration for pecuniary profit can be car
ried on more profitably and with less
chauces of detection than in r-piocs.
Terra alba, a fine marble dust, is export
ed from Italy to this country in consid
erate quantities to mingle with white
pepper. Mustard mixes with sago flour,
rice flour and a bit of aniline coloring
without detriment to the appearance of
of the mustard. Treat the mixture with
iodine and you expose the adulteration;
but the average customer of mustard is
not apt to apply that test. The German
and French mustards are an interesting
mixture. They are compounded of
flraeker dust, mustard, cayenne pepper,
white vinegar, oil and sugar Havering.
Old crackers are sometimes baked brown,
then ground into dust and mixed with
ground cinnamon and nutmeg, and the
whole is sold for nutmeg at a price that
drives pure nutmegs out of the market.
“Ground pepper is frequently sold for
less money than the unground article,
which makes the naturally suspicious
suspect at once that the ground goods
are loaded with pepper dust, which is
made from cocoanut shells or buckwheat
hulls, chacoal, whit: meal and mustard
bran. Lack of taste is as desirable in an
adulteration of spi es as adaptability of
color. For that reason the cocoanut
shell ground up very fine is desirable.
Venetian red, salt and white meal can be
ground together and made into a valu
able addition to cayenne peppe.'. A
dull red pepper, exported from Africa,
is often heavily adulterated with that
mixture. It is worth only about ten
cents a pound when pure, but when well
adulterated can be sold to a green dealer,
and a green trade for genuine Natal pep
per, worth from twenty-five to thirty-five
cents a pound. You can buy ground
ginger at almost any store for seven cents
a pound, when the unground article
commands ten cents for the same quan
tity. That means that the goods offered
for seven cents a pound is a mixture of
white meal, starch, cayenne pepper and
manila rope flavored with ginger. The
grocery trade, especially the country
people, want to see the ginger fibres, and
the ingenuity of the dealer supplies them
in the form of threads of man ilia rope.”
Supreme Court Pomp.
The opening of the Supreme Court is
one of the stage accessories, declares.the
New York Qiaphff, to official life at
Washington. xVnyone who has ever been
present will never forget the scene. The
room i 3 a stuffy one at best affd is rather
an bwlish-looking place. One placid
faced negro sits at the door with a string
in his hand to help him open it without
trouble. Another, t*it a white haired,
son of Africa sits inside to aid him.
Neither one of them would demean him
self by pulling the string for anyone less
than a Senator or a member of the House.
Ordinary citizens must push their way
inside unaided. No one must carry a
newspaper openly within the sacred pre
cincts, for the rule is absolute that no
reading of journals is allowed in the
court. Nor must auy notes of the pro
ceedings be taken —the official reporter
is to do all that.
Once inside suppose the clock over the
door is striking noon. If it is striking
at all that is the hour one hears, for it
never sounds save to call the court to
gether. Behind the long curtains that
hang in the rear of the bench the judges
are formed, dressed in their silken robes.
The grave faced old crier stands at One
end of the court and then looks sternly
around to note if all are in proper state to
receive their honors. Then, with an ele
vated chin and a loud voice, he an
nounces; “The Honorable the Chief
Justice and the Associated Justices of
the Supreme Court of the l nited States!”
The audience rises, the curtain parts,the
judges step forward and bowing low
stand an instant facing those present,
who leturn the salutation. “Oyez,
oyez,’ -uiys the modulated voice of the
crier; “all persons having any business
with the Honorable the Supreme Court
of the l nited States are admonished to
draw near, for the Court is now in ses
sion.” And with a quick, sharp glance
around to see that no unregenerate
citizen has yet dared to be seated, the
official adds impressively”: “God save the
United States and this Honorable Court."
The business has begun,
Blackbeard, the Pirate.
Not far from St. Simon’s, (5a., is an
island called Blackbeard. The name, it
is said, originated from a pirate called
Blackboard, who long ago inhabited it
with his crew of desperate men. A long,
black beard, flowing to his waist, gave
the pirate his name. When the govern
ment dispatched Vessels laden with
money to pay off the men sent to colonize
the State, these pirates would lie in wait
to secure the treasure at auv cost, Some

white man told him it was too ola *o be

when it was beyond recall, the poor fel
low found out that he had been swindled.
Even now on the neig! boring island of
Jeckyl the trees are often found notched,
and the people suppose that these marks
denote the place where the treasure
