Soils Not Suitable For Alfalfa.
Any field likely to be under water
or the soil saturated with water at
any time for more than thirty-six
hours at a time is quite unsuitable
for alfalfa. Any field with a hard
pan subsoil within two feet of the
surface will prove unsatisfactory for
alfalfa.—Weekly Witness.
Warts on Horses.
To cure warts on horses rub the
wart well with soft soap, and in a
few days a scab will appear. Pick
the scab off when it gets loose and
rub again with soft soap, repeating
the operation until the wart is gone.
It will not leave a scar and will not
return. —Weekly Witness.
Haise Corn For Silage.
All dairymen recognize the value
of corn ensilage as a cheap food for
milk production. It is but seldom
on looking over the roughage of any
large dairy barn, that corn stover is
seen. The silo has taken the place
of the corn stalk loft.
An experiment conducted recently
at the Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion showed that in meat production
steers fed corn silage as part of their
ration made better gains than those
fed corn stover. The stover fed
steers ate more grain than those fed
silage, but the cost of the feed, how
ever, was less, to the credit of a sto
ver ration. But whether corn is in
a silo or on the loft it is a mighty
good food, when rightly used, and
none too much is raised by New Eng
land farmers. —F. P. H., in the
American Cultivator.
Setting and Hatching.
When the turkey hen gets broody,
bring her to the house and confine
her in a pen or house where noth
ing can bother her, dusting her with
insect powder when set and again
when taken off with the little tur
keys. I make my insect powder
from ashes, sulphur, snuff and cam
phor balls.
When the hen hatches do not dis
turb her, except to take the empty
shells from the nest so they will not
get stuck on the eggs that have not
hatched. When she is through hatch
ing, let the little ones stay in the
place she hatched them until they
are several days old. They will be
gin to hunt for something to eat as
scon as they need anything. Then
take them away from the house
where the chickens cannot run over
them, and put them down and feed
a little. —Progressive Farmer.
Handling Hard Land.
There might be several classes of
land which we could find in this sec
tion. The first would be land which
is adaptable to hoed crops; which
is free enough from stones or sur
plus moisture so that it can be used
in a regular rotation of three or four
years, land suitable for growing po
tatoes or corn. Then there is a lot
of New England land that is too
damp and has too many stones just
below the surface to allow it to be
plowed conveniently. That land we
must handle in a somewhat different
way. Probably as good a method
of handling this land as any is one
that I have seen followed iff New
York, topdressing with a light coat
of barnyard manure, about eight or
ten spreader loads per acre, every
year, and at the same time using a
small quantity of clover seed and
working it in with a light harrow
ing of some kind, either with a spec
ial brush harrow or the ordinary
smoothing harrow. I have seen this
done in several instances with
marked success. There is another
kind of land which is too rough to
be handled in either of these ways,
or perhaps too steep, but land which
is admirably suited to the growing
of apples.—W. B. Dodge, U. S. De
partment of Agriculture.
Farm Highway Fences.
In the early settlement of the
American colonies the settlers need
ed every foot of their cleared land
to raise corn, potatoes and pump
kins, and could not possibly spare
any of their small clearings tor pas
turage. Consequently everybody’s
cattle and horses (and frequently
hogs) were pastured in the woods
and along the roadside, and of course
good, high, strong fences became an
absolute necessity .for the protection
of the crops (which nobody disputed
and the law imperatively required),
or no damages could be collected for
injury to crops by a neighbor’s cattle.
The woods and roadsides were con
sidered as public commons upon
which everybody’s farm stock had a
right to run. In the colony of Mas
sachusetts there was one exception—
ungelded horses “unless of comely
proportions and of good size, not less
than fourteen hands high,” were not
alowed to run in the commons or
woods.
The necessity which once existed
for pasturing the woods and road
sides has long since passed in the
old, settled States, but the fence laws
enacted under the old conditions
have been allowed to remain on the
statute books of most of them to this
day because so many voters without
farms wanted to keep their cows in
I
the streets and not hire pasturage,
. and the lawmakers dared not touch
. the old laws for fear of losing votes.
With only the scanty pickings of
the street cattle soon get desperate
with hunger and become breachy.
' Not many years ago seven cows were
. pastured in our street; sometimes the
whole seven could be seen together.
A farm gate could not be left open
when drawing in hay and grain, or
five or six of the neighbors' cows
would rush in. A neighbor’s breachy
cow broke into our garden in the
daytime. Another man’s cow got in
to the dooryard in the night, the gate
being accidentally left open. At
length our lawmakers at Harrisburg
ventured to let the people of the
State vote on the question of fence
or no fence, and a large majority
was for no fence. As the law stands
now, everybody must take care of his
own stock. They are not required
to fence other people’s cattle out,
but only find it necessary to fence
their pasture fields to keep their own
cattle in, and no stock is allowed in
the public highways, except when
being driven to market or from
place to place. It appears to
be a just and beneficial law,
producing excellent results, and
it should have been enacted long
ago. The wages of labor are so high
that men without land can afford to
buy milk or hire pasturage for a cow.
I know several laborers who have
bought houses and lots and paid for
them from their earnings.
The saving in expense to the peo
ple of the State in having fewer
fences to build and keep in repair is
immense, and the saving in annoy
ance and vexation has been still
greater.—J. W. Ingham, Sugar Run,
Pa.
Experiments With Stable Manure.
At the Maryland agricultural sta
tion two sets of experiments with
stable manure—one covering three
years and the other seven years—
have been conducted.
The results as a rule favored the
use of fresh manure applied directly
from the stable as against rotted ma
nure. The best results were ob
tained by applying the manure as
long in advance of the time the
crop was to use it as possible. As
between applying fresh and rotted
manure before and after plowing,
the results favored applying fresh
manure as a top-dressing after plow
ing. In a comparison of plowing
under manure in the fall and spring,
the differences were slight but uni
formly in favor of allowing the ma
nure to remain on the land during
the winter and plowing it down in
the spring. Subsoiling in addition
to deep plowing did not show suffi
cient advantage to warrant the ex
tra expense involved. “The use of
kainit with the manure seemed to
exert a beneficial influence every
year, and it was more marked in
dry than wet seasons.” The growth
of crimson clover was better on soils
receiving fresh manure than on those
treated with rotted manure.
Farm Cullings.
Too heavy loads make balky
horses.
With all stock discomfort always
costs in extra feed.
Milking should always be done in
a clean, airy place, free from all bad
odors.
Plowing for wheat should begin
just as soon as possible after the
harvest work is finished up.
Dairy stock can not be improved
if a promiscuous trying of all breeds
is permitted to go on.
Cream should have a uniform con
sistency as well as being of uniform
ripeness before churning.
The cow, to do her best and con
tinue it for the longest period, musi
have at least one-fifth her food of
some kind of nitrogen.
tl takes longer and costs more to
make up a pound of loss than it does
to add five pounds of gain under fa
vorable conditions.
In feeding fattening hogs, the food
should always be given in a clean,
wholesome condition and never al
lowed to become sour.
The walk ib the foundation of all
the other gaits, and without begin
ning at the foundation all future de
velopments will be unsatisfactory.
As soon as the tops of the onions
are dead they should be pftlled,
thrown in rows, allowed to cure a
few days and then be stored away.
Good hickory ashes are said to be
excellent for expelling worms from
the bowels of young horses. Give
a couple of tablespoonfuls twice a
week in their feed.
The great secret in making under
draining a permanent improvment is
in securing uniform form in laying
the tile, and maintaining a good out
' let. As a rule, the safest plan is to
look the ground over carefully and
then plan out the ditches to the best
advantage.

The Other Way About.
Before trying to match the sample
of silk the clerk asked:
“Is this a piece of something you
want or don’t want?”
• ‘‘Something I want, of course,” re
plied the customer. “You don’t sup
pose, do you, that I would go to all
this trouble for a thing I can't use?”
“Some folks do,” said the clerk. “I
have met a number of them. The
first'woman I ever saw with that kind
of a bee in her bonnet had a square
inch of blue silk that she wanted me
, to match. The scrap of silk was so
1 small that it was hard to make com
parisons, but after hauling down half
■ the blue bolts on the shelves and
1 running to the door several times to
test the color in broad daylight I
! found the exact shade.
“ ‘How many yards do .you want,
madam?’ I asked.
“ ‘Oh,’ said the woman, ‘I don't want
any. Almost any other shade will
' do. That particular shade is very
unbecoming. I just wanted to make
sure that I don’t get it, that’s all.’ ”
' The customer laughed. “What did
you say?” she asked.
“I’d rather not tell,” said the clerk.

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.
Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying of a "pig in a
poke.” Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, etc., predominated were
marked and sold as "Pure White
Lead,” the deception not being ap
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned
to expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying safe.
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous "Dutch-Boy Painter,”
and put this trade mirk, as a guar
anty of purity, on every package of
their White Lead. They then set
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe test by which the pur>
ty and genuineness of White Lead
may be determined, and furnished a
blow-pipe free to every one who
would write them for it. This ac
tion was in itself a guaranty of the
purity of National Lead Company’s
White Lead.
As the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame if he is defrauded. For

painting address National Lead Com

Oldest of Diseases.
| Bubonic plague is one of the oldest
diseases known to man. Entire na
tions have been swept from the face
of the earth by this dread enemy,
and whole stretches of fertile coun
, tiy have been abandoned because of
a pestilence therein with which the
। inhabitants did not know how to cope.
There have been times in the world’s
history when this disease ravaged the
i entire civilized globe, as when, in
1334 A. D., it swept from China to
Norway, leaving in its wake more
, than twenty-five million victims. Read
ers of Danie! Defoe will recall his
vivid description of the awful scenes
in London when England was ravaged
by the Black Death. Creighton in
his history tells of the deaths of 70,-
' 000 people in London in the summer
of 1665. Benvenuto Cellini suffered
1 from the plague, and his accurate de
scription of his experience with the
1 disease from its earliest symptoms un
til his complete recovery is not the
' least interesting of the writings of
that remarkable man. x
Even in our own times the plague
has claimed its toll of myriads of
lives. Since 1895 bubonic plague has
carried off four hundred thousand peo
ple annually in India alone. It is a
curious fact that the connection be
, tween the plague and the rat has been
known from the dawn of history. In
some of the most ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphics we find the rat display
ed as the symbol of the plague. It
was not, however, until within re
cent years that science identified the
•plague germ, a short cocco bacillus
of oval rod shape. The bacillus was
' discovered- by Kitasato and Yersin
during the Hong-kong outbreak of
1894. —Harper’s Weekly.

Old Schoolmates of Theirs.
A conductor sent a new brakeman
to put - some tramps off the train; they
were riding in a box car. The brake
man dropped into the car and said,
“Where are you fellows going?” “To
Atchison.” “Well, you can’t go to
Atchison on this train; -so get off.”
“You get,” same the reply, and as the
new brakeman was looking into the
•business end of a gun he took the ad
vice given him and “got.” He went
back to the caboose, and the conductor
asked him if he had put the fellows
off. “No,” he answered, “I -did not
have the heart to put them off. They
want to go to Atchison, and, besides,
they are old schoolmates of mine."
The conductor used some very strong
language, and then said he would put
them off himself. He went over to
the car and met with the same ex
perience as the brakeman. When he
got back to the caboose the brakeman
said, “Well, did you put them off?"
“Naw, they’re schoolmates of mine,
too.”—Washington (Kan.) News.

FRIENDLY TIP
Restored Hope and Confidence.
After several .years of indigestion
and Its attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith In things gen
erally.
A N. Y. woman writes an interest
ing letter. She says:
“Three years ago I suffered from
an attack of peritonitis which left me
in a most miserable cond^^m. For
over two years I suffered from ner
vousness, weak heart, shortness of
breath, could not sleep, etc.
“My appetite was ravens^ but 1
felt starved all. the time. I had
plenty of food but it did not nourish
me because of intestinal indigestion.
Medical treatment did not seem to
help, I got discouraged^ stopped medi
cine and did not care much whether
I lived or died.
“One day a friend asked me why I
didn’t try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking
coffee and use Postum. I had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friends I began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.
“It wasn’t long before 1 got some
strength, felt a decided change in my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely I got better. [
could sleep very well, the constant
craving for food ceased and 1 have
better health now than before the at
tack of peritonitis.
“My husband and 1 are still using
Grape-Nuts and Postum.” “There’s
a Reason.”
