FARE AM) GARDEN.
Anionnl of Winter Peed.
' JtaA. cow or horse will need fromtweaty
to thirty-five wounds of feed per
dCT, the amount varying according to
Biz* of animal .and kind "of food given.
With the best chance for pasturing stock
will be nearly or quite two hun-
days of barnyard or stat e feeding,
■hirty pounds per day for this time
makes a total of tiOOO pounds, or three
tons. If all this has to be purchased it
will eat into the value of pretty good
stock at. present prices of feed. With
ordinary stock the farmer can only make
nimseii whole by feeding it with rough
fodder that would not be readily salable,
but may be changed into valuable man
ure. —American Cultivator.
Sweetening a Pork Barrel.
Bit is quite an object for a farmer to
make his pork barrel last from year to
year, and there need be no trouble about
it, for the brine has a preservative quality
that will prevent decay of the wood for
a lifetime, so that only a hoop may need
renewal occasionally. But where a
barrel has stood empty for weeks
through the summer it will become
mouldy and sour, and should be
thorough' cleansed before it is used. I
have never had any trouble after cleaning
them with wood ashes and hot water,
and then rinsing them out clean. If
meat has spoiled in a barrel so that the
barrel has become tainted this will
not be enough to make it safe.
Iu such cases steaming or smok
iOg has been recommended, but
probably a more elective way is to till
with fresh earih and let stand'a couple
of days, then empty and refill as before.
§®1!8 is said to be successful, but for nry-
Bllf I have always preferred buying a
n|ew one to using one in which meat had
spoiled. —New I uric World.

pi I have three large, well bred aud full
r fed gelding cats which keep the pro
mises, consisting of barns, sheds, wood
end poultry houses, grain, hay ami straw
accessible at many points, to sav noth
ing of considerable covered space, so
nearly free of rats, mink, mice, weasels,
etc., that 1 do not get a of either
oftener than once a mouth, and then it
is usually a young rat one of my faithful
■, feline servants brings to mo to show he
has done his duty. The black-soil
prairie ot 111.nois is easily burrowed into,
and rats make underground passages
pny distanc e with almost the ease of
I moles: grain abounds in most fields, the
grass is heavy and iong, hedges arecom
prou, and every tiling favors the mult i
plicatrio iof the rodents. Wiihout the
Hhree guardians, rats would take the
young chickens, suck eggs, undermine
■barns and sheds, gnaw into the corner!bs,
■eat half the grain aud defile the other
;v half, burrow into the stacks of grain. and
make worthless chad of clover and hay.
||Yes, there are objections to cats by
ithose who hate them; but they are as
much preferable to rats as mosquitoes to
bedbugs. —New York Tribune.

of the roots are dropped some
six inches apart, about corn-planting
r time, in rows two feet apart, and kept
clear of weeds. When the planes come
in blossom is the proper time to cut them;
they are then carried immediately to the
laboratory, where they are distilled into
oil and usually sold iu that form. The
oil is chiefly used to make essence, in
which form it is mostly sold by druggists
as a remedy for various ailments, though
some is used for other purposes. The
1 essence partakes of the nature of all
labiate plants. As to the process of ex
tracting the oil, wc are not fully advised,
but think it is neither difficult nor ex
pensive to one -who understands the busi
ness. The industry is considered a pro
fitable one iu the few localities where
peppermint is successfully grown, but
the price of oil varies considerably in
different seasons, so that the profits are
not uniform.
Incase either of the mints are to be
dried for” use, it must be done in the
shade, and the branches should not be
come wet in drying. For garden culture,
plants may be set one foot apart each
way. A plantation will last for years,
but it is usual to renew it every three or
four years. —New York Witncs-.
Buttermilk is Important Pood.
There has been some dispute about the
value of buttermilk, says the New En
gland Jlom '-tead, but from a practical
test made by D. VV. Little, this food is
proved to be more valuable than is
( commonly believed. Not having hogs
[ enough of his ow nto consume his butter
milk, Mr. Little contracted to feed a
neighbor’s hogs at 4 ceut3 per pound.
From May 15 to October :>1 there were
i 54 head in the pen, some being put in
|F and some taken out every week. It was
an uneven lot of old hogs and young
pigs. They were quarrelsome, and of
course did not do so well a 3 would have
been the ca s e had the same hogs been
kept together without a break until the
end of the season. The 54 hogs weighed
6385 pounds when put in, and 11,155
pounds when taken out. This is a gain
of 5070 pounds, and at 4 cents is worth
$302.80. About 207 bushels of corn in
the ear were fed with 64,357 pounds of
milk. The corn cost $87.05, the milk
19| per cwt.
On September 1, the pen was cleared,
and 20 pigs, averaging 70 pounds, were
then kept there until October 1, when
they averaged 170 pounds, 09 bushels of
| corn, costing $21.85, and 17,157 pounds
lof milk being fed. This made nearly
I 35 cents per cwt. for creamery butter-
I milk. Mr. Little estimates that had he
fed his own pork instead of feeding hogs
' for the neighbor, he would have realized
5 cents per pound instead of 4 cents, and
k that the milk through September and
■October would have brought him 44
Scents per cwt. lie says that buttermilk
Bis commonly sold at to cents per barrel
■of 400 pound*, when it should bring at
fceast sl. One great trouble is, farmers
Shave too much milk and not enough
Hpiogs. One hundred bushels of corn to
«0,000 pounds of milk is the right pro-
Sportion.
Pernicious Winter Sseilinjs.
| There is a kind of winter seeding not
entering into the plan of the
farmer. Winter is in thought
with a period of rest aud ioin-
death in the vegetable world.
The winter wheat lies dormant in its
frozen bed beneath the white blanket ol
fallen snow, end the ears of corn selected
for next spring’s seeding are stored out
of the reach of the mice in the crib. All
meadow and pasture land sleep on until
wakened by the silent quickening of the
spring. Nevertheless there is a work
going forward through the short days
and nights of the severe months in the
dead of winter. Every gust of wind that
hurries by the street corner and dies
away in momentary calm; every giant
gale which comes down from the frozen
north and sweeps whole States with a
besom of relentless fury, may carry witli
it the germs of weeds and deposit them
in some secure place where the spring
sun finds and quickens them into new
life.
all sowings are not confined to the newly
harrowed field or the r ch and mellow
garden. If it were so. farming and gar
dening would be a less serious matter
than it is. Many seeds like those of
the dreaded ( anada thistle are provided
with light, leathery appendages by
which the ripened seeds take long flights
in the upper air like so many miniature
balloons. Other plants, as the burdock
and beggar’s lice, rely for transportation
upon the passing animals to which they
adhere by hooks, thus stealing a ride.
( tiiers still are left without any special
structure for migration, and must there
fore depend in part upon the favoring
conditions of winter. The various sorts
of tumble weeds break up into a number
of paits, or by a decay of the main
stem at its uniou with the soil the whole
plant is set free and blown by the wind
where it listeth. There arc many weeds
which remain \ipright witli their seed
bearing portion above the fallen snow,
aud when the smooth crust ot ice forms
over all, the seeds, loosened by the ele
ments, are blown l’or miles over the
frozen surface only to find lodgment in
some ditch, hollow or other place of
safety. This help; to explain how mar
velously weeds spring up in cultivated
ground. —American Agriculturist.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Feed the hay as it runs.
Save your poorest hay for the latter
part of spring.
To make the butter,milk from healthy
cows only should be used.
Avoid excitement of the cows, pro
duced by chasing with dogs.
Harsh treatment lessens the quantity
and reduces the quality of milk.
Milk vessels should be thoroughly
cleaned, scalded with boiling water and
aired to keep them perfectly sweet.
The lawn will be the better for a fine
top dressing, but do not make it un
sightly by strewing with coarse lumps
of manure.
There is little danger of manuring
land too heavily for vegetables. Heavy
fertilizing will always improve the
health and quality of the plant.
It is better to till up the water trough
before it is quite empty than to let the
! cows get very thirsty and drink so much
they don’t care to eat for two hours.
An Indiana fruit-grower puts a dozen
moles in his live-acre strawberry patch
each year, and claims that they save
much in the grubs that they devour.
It is said that a horse shoe nailed on
the forward feet of a cow or steer will
prevent jumping fences, as the foot can
not spread, hence the animal cannot
spring.
In spare moments nail up the loose
boards on fences, sheds and barns, rake
up and burn all useless rubbish and put
things generally in good trim for severe
weather.
There is no danger that the business
of raising eggs for market will be over
: done, as long as we are obliged to import
several million dozen each year, iu order
to have enough to go around.
There is an urgent demand for some
succulent food for hogs in winter, as we
now have only concentrated grain feed
with which to supply them, and this is
not wholly satisfactory for growing ani
mals.
About the dust-bath—dry read dust is
the best material for the dust-box. Some
perfectly dry wood ashes may be mixed
in, or a box of carbolic powder, but
don’t use clear wood ashes for a dust
bath. They are too strong.
A lndv of Indiana says that when any
of her liens in winter do not seem to
relish their food and their crops look
full, she makes them fly from some high
| place and they get along all right. Do
you see the philosophy of it?
The swarming box should be made of
light material,two sides being cleatcd like
a honey board, for the bees to pass
through, and one end must be open or
1 movable. The poles for the handles can
be attached as be-t suit the user.
One of the best fertilizers for house
| plants is land plaster. Sprinkle if around
i the stein, and then work it carefully
; around the roots with a table fork.
! Qeraniums and fuchsias are especially
benefited by an application once a week.
Choose a warm day for fastening comb
■ foundations in frames and sections. The
; foundation must be warm enough to
j press into the wood nicely, and the wood
| should be warmer than the foundation to
:do the work to the best advantage. A
j putty knife will do the work quite well.
If you did not build a silo but did cut
up some corn fer fodder before all the
goodness was dried out of it, get it from
the field before all the goodness is wasted.
BnoW, wind and rains do not improve
fodder in the shock; house or stack it
near where you wish to feed it. Don’t
forget this.
A fowl should be quick in picking up
food, for when one is slow in feeding,
occasionally taking a grain and then
moping about, something is wrong. One
can soon become expert in detecting
other symptoms of disease as rutfled
plumage, lustreless eyes, pale comb and
wattles, droppings sulphurous, green or
watery.

STORIES ABOUT LINCOLN.
Hie Peculiarities While Sitting for
His Portrait.
Baptist Pastors in New York listened
to Borne interesting remarks by A. J.
Conant, the artist, on “Personal Remin
iscences of Abraham Lincoln.” Mr.
Tenant su'd his first acquaintance with
Air. Lincoln oaraeabout through his b< -
ing requested to paint Mr. Lincoln's
portrait for the first exhibition of the
Western Academy of Art at St. Louis.
It was his custom, lie said, in painting
this to go to Mr. Lincoln’s office in the
old State building, as Mr. Lincoln was
at that time (1860) busied with political
affairs and could not find time for for
mal sittings.
The first time Mr. Conant visited Mr.
Lincoln for this purpose ho found the
expression upon his face quite the re
verse of the melancholy and serious one
he had supposed ho wore. It was so
bright, animated, and genial that Mr.
Conant at once made up his mind to de
pict it if he could. With this in view it
was his cuajpm to tell humorous stories,
which, when they touched Mr. Lincoln’s
fancy, made him forget for the time his
absorbing affairs.
One day Mr. Lincoln told how, when
“running,” as he termed it, his grocery
store at Salem, near Springfield, he got
his first taste for law. A farmer drove up
with a broken-down horse and a wagon
filled with household “plunder,” and
he asked him what he would give “fur
the hull load." Lincoln looked over the
bit of old pots, pans, kettles, and stuff,
and gave him half a dollar. The man
went off' and Lincoln stored the stuff'.
Some weeks after the purchase Lincoln
had occasion to use one of the barrels,
which were tilled with some of the old
“ truck ” bought in the fifty-cent pur
cuase, and as he turned out the contents
of one of them, under the old rusty pans
a dilapidated copy of Blaekstone’s Com
mentaries came to light. Lincoln eyed
it curiously and laid it aside. Later in
the afternoon he picked the book up and
began to read. He soon became absorbed
in it, and from that day on he read all
the long leisure hours which fall to thn
lot of the country grocer. This was thn
first inkling ho had of any taste in tin)
direction in which he afterward attained
such success.
The other story the artist told was one
which he had himself told Lincoln, aud
which he had used on several occasions,
on two of which he had been interrupted
before lie got to the point, “and,” said
the artist, “if there was anything which
annoyed Mr. Lincoln it was this. It
caused him always to remember the
man from whom he got the story. The
story was of a Missouri man who went
to a stable to get a horse to take him to
a convention to which he was going ns a
delegate with a hope of nomination.
The stable keeper was of a different
f)olitical persuasion, and gave him a
lorse which he calculated would break
down before he got there. His calcula
tion proved true, and the man lost the
nomination. On bis return to the
stable; the disappointed Missourian
asked the stableman if he was training
that horse for a hearse. The man said,
‘ Kinder guessed he wasn’t.’ ‘ Well,’
said the man, ‘ if you are, he’ll never do
it, for lie wouldn’t get a corpse to the
cemetery in time for the resuMpkion.
This story Lincoln had twice tried to
toll, once from the rear of a train, and
was carried away by it before be got to
the point, and a second time, when
present at a gun testing, whmt the gun
was fired just as lie Mis
sourian’s reply.
A mysterious German nobleman died
in Washington last week, and left a will
bequeathing $ 90,000 to three gentlemen
in Tennessee. The will is m proper
form, duly signed and attested, but the
legatees have been unable to locate the
$90,000. It is a very exasperating situ
ation. They are entitled to $90,000
unless the mysterious German nobleman
was a practical joker.

A Swindler Betrayed by His Parrot.
Detectives obtain their hints and clues
from many sources, but it is not often
(the Paris correspondent of the London
Telegraph remarks) that they receive
them through the instrumentality of
parrots; yet this is just what has hap
pened during the researches of M.
Coron. the hea l of the Paris Criminal
Department. Tin's officer has been lately
looking for the chief accountant of the
“Cafusse Band,’' n fellow named Victor
Chevalier, and, going the other day into
the rooms of a notorious receiver of
stolen goods in Paris, ho heard himself
addressed in harsh tones as “Good old
Victor ! there you are!” This was enough
for the detective, who having silently
satisfied himself that the loquacious
bird was the property of the man for
whom ho was looking, proceeded to
search the receiver’s den for indications
of a more substantial character. After a
long and minute investigation of the
premises, he found a letter from Victor
to the receiver, in which epistle the
robber announced that he was in Angers
under the name of Felix Crozer. M.
Goron immediately set out for that town
and arrested the owner of the too valu
able parrot in the railway station.
A Terrible Crime.
It is a terrible crime for men to claim that a
decoction of cheap and poisonous vegetable
Bluff is a certain remedy for syphilis, scrofula
and other horrible phases of blood disease, when
they know it is untrue ! The proprietors of Bo
tanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B.), are men of con*
sciences. Their remedy is not a poison, and
although a powerful blood cleanser, is absolutely
free from mercury and all vegetable or mineral
poison. Its use will not harm the most delicate,
and a cure begins with the first bottle used. It
is made according to the prescription of an em
inent Atlanta physician who has, for forty years,
made blood diseases a study. Beware of fraud
ulent specifics. B. B. B. has effected more
cures of blood diseases than any other remedy
in the whole world.

Rheumatism
and Neuralgia
These twin senses cause untold suffering.
Doctors admit that they axe difficult to cure—
so do their patients. Paine’*-
Celery compound lias per
manently cured the worst
cases of rheumatism and
neuralgia—so say those who
have used it.
"Having been troubled
with rheumatism at the knee
and foot for live years, I was
almost unable to get around,
and was very often confined
lo my bed for weeks at a
time. I used only one bot
tle of Paine’s Celery Com
pound, and was perfectly
cured. I can now jump
around, and feel as lively as
a boy.” Fuanx C’arou,
Eureka, Nevada.

« Paine’s Celery Compound has been a God*
send to me. For the past two years X have suU
fered with neuralgia of the heart, doctor alter
doctor falling to cure me. I have now taken
nearly four bottles of the Compound, and am
free from the complaint. I feel very grateful
to you.” Chaß. H. Lewis, Central Village, Ct.
Paine’s
Celery Compound
••I have been greatly afflicted with acute
rheumatism, and could find no relief until I
used I’alne’s celery compound. After using
six bottles of this medicine I am now cured of
rheumatic troubles.”
Samuel Hutchinson, So. Cornish. N. H.
Effects Lasting Cures.
Paine's Celery Compound has perfor.'.ied many
other cures as marvelous as these,—copies of
letters sent to any address. Pleasant to t ake,
does not disturb, but aids digestion, and entire
ly vegetable; a child can take It. What's the
use of suffering longer with rheumatism or
neuralgia?
