PFSO'S CURE FOR AGRICULTURAL 'NEWS Hakes the w(pij and destroy a. few of tliero ,* but the ^hellebore kills-every worm. that gets a taste of it. The hushes are more easily kept free from worms if only tworor three stalks?jire allowed to grow together, in a clump. Where there is a large mass of foliage and many stales the lower leaves escape the dust­ ing. The hellebore may be put in wa­ ter and sprinkled on the leaves. It is poisonous to the worms,,, though only very slightly poisonous to people, and there is no possible danger that it can affect the fruit. The same remedy is equally good for the worm that at­ tacks gooseberry bushes. Best Age to Set Apple Trees. Oneytear old trees cost less than old­ er ones. : o They can be lifted from the nursery without any loss of roots, and if proper­ ly set will make about the same growth I as if in the nursery, says the Pittsburg • Dispatch. i The head can be formed at any de- i sired height. This is difficult to do i with older trees. i They can be set in the orchard in less < than half the .time required for older 1 trees, and no uecessity for staking. The transportation on such trees (if necessary) is a small item compared with larger-ones. „ V The older and larger the tree the greater the loss in roots. They will in­ variably be more or less mutilated. They have to be both.' root and. top bound, and will require time to recup­ erate from this loss, and in windy lo- aclities will have to be staked--another expense or,loss of time. Now, in con­ clusion, if anyone having no experi­ ence with one-year-old trees will give them a test. I doubt not he will be like myself, prefer this age to any other. How to Destroy Sorrei. Says Professor MaSsey in the Prac­ tical Farmer: Lime will have no effect in driving out sheep sorrel on land that is deficient in vegetable matter; but if there is a large amount of decompose***" vegetable matter in the soil, lime will bring about conditions favorable to the growth of better things that may smother out the sorrel.,... Sorrel, like cheat, is Usually more abundant after a hard winter that has killed out grain or clover, and the sorrel comes in to occupy the vacant places. With a rank growth of clover on the land there is seldom any trouble from the sorrel. If I had a clover field infested with the sorrel I would mow it very early, before the sorrel had ripened its seeds, and would give the land a good dress­ ing of acid phosphate and potash and at once sow it in some smothering crop like peas or buckwheat. Farm Hints. I made a mistake when I began farm­ ing, writes a contributor to Hoard's Dairyman, by not locating the perma­ nent pasture where a part of it would adjoin the barnyard. This mistake caused mo to walk-, many miles yearly to and from the pasture gate, which wan about 100 yards from the barn. Last year I fenced each side of a 30- foot strip from pasture to yard, and this saves the daily walks after the cows. By kindness and good care the cows can soon be taught to come to the yard gate every evening. Plowed un­ der a heavy growth of rye the latter part of May, '94. 011 one-half acre. Har­ rowed line and planted to beans. Dry weather set in, and half the beans fail- to germinate. The thick layer of rye underneath made land so loose it dried out easily. I should have used a heavy loaded roller before and after harrow­ ing, to-nrafre the land firm. Gleanings from Farm Poultry. Leg weakness is a condition which chicks can easily be brought to by too strong bottom heat in the brooders, and by too much meal. Broilers weigh from 1V& to 2 pounds in weight, and it takes from twelve to fourteen weeks to gain thTlt weight. The cross of Plymouth Rock on White Langshan would make good roasting fowls. We know of 110 breed that will lay more eggs than the IJrown Leghorn, unless the new Campines will reduce their record, but that remains to be seen. A Leghorn pullet is pretty well matured at six. months of age. Sheep in Orchards. Persons who pasture sheep in their orchards do not; as a rule, use enough sheep to do the most good. The sheep chn add nothing to the land but what they take from it, but if a large num­ ber, say fifty, are put in eight acres of trees seeded with orchard grass, and are fed a little bran, say about one pound a day to each sheep, something ' like 134 pounds of nitrogen. 104 pounds of phosphate acid and 86 pounds of potash would be distributed during the season over the ground in the best possible way, while the sheep would keep down every weed and sprout, gnaw the grass close and eat every fallen apple as soon as it strikes the ground.--Rural New-Yorker. Painted Canvas for Farmers Next to glass for admitting light and heat, Mr. J. C. Lewis places the painted canvas frame. For these he first makes the frame the length and width of the bed, and covers it with canvas, using zinc tacks. He then applies a dressing made by mixing over a tire in a sauce­ pan three pints linseed oil, one ounce sugar of lead and four ounces of rosin. If stirred well it will be of the consist­ ency of paint when cold, and may then be put on with a brush, one coat inside and two coat? outside. • ' Orchard Grass. Those who grow orchard grass should remember that it needs to be cut early. If cut just as the stem is forming and before it becomes hardened orchard grass will sprout readily, and may be cut several times in a season. It will also thicken under this treatment, and cover vacant spaces in the soil. The seed should always be,sown with some kind of clover, which will furnish nu­ triment for it after the clover has died out. Close Planting and Frost. In one pear orchard in a neighbor­ hood where nearly all pear blossoms were killed by spring frosts there is this year a full setting of fruit. The trees are ouly twelve feet apart, and their foJiage covers all the surface of the ground, as the branches are inter­ locked on every side. This mutual pro­ tection and the confined warm air un­ der the tree saved most of the blos­ soms from injury, and there vrill be a full crop. ;i.' Highefst of all in Leavening Power.--Latest" U. S.

Any species of .weeds can be subdued and controlled within the limits of an ordinary farm, and, unless the value of the land is low from other causes, mav be profitably undertaken. If the. weed is an annual, reproducing itself from the seeds only, it may be subject­ ed by preventing seed production. For permanent pastures, lawns and road­ sides this is quite sufficient, if persist­ ently followed. In cultivated fields the land thus seeded should first be burned over to destroy as many as possible of the jseeds on the surface. It may then be plowed shallow;, so as not to bury the, remaining seeds too deeply in the soil.; The succeeding* cultivation, not deeper than the-plowing; will induce the germination of seeds in this layer of soil, and kill the seedlings as they, appear. The land may then be plowed deeper -ahd the cultivation repeated, until the weed seeds are pretty thorr oughly cleared out to as great a depth as the plow ever reaches. Below that depth, eight to ten Inches, very fewK Weed seeds caii gerniinate and push a shoot to the surface/ A \housand seed­ lings can be destroyed 6jThe cultiva­ tor with less effort than a single ma­ ture plant can be destroyed, and every seedling killed means one less weed seed in the soil.--Philadelphia Press. The Care of Farm Machines. To get the most out of a machine care must be taken to keep clean. Dust in the journals or working parts increas­ es the wear very materially. Another thing about which care should be taken is not to strain a machine. A light wagon is not intended for heavy loads, neither is a light plow intended, for deep, heavy plowing. Select ma­ chinery, advises the Farmer's Home, 'adapted to the kind of work required for it. and do not expect that it will do all that is to be done. Whenever a | machllie of any kind is working under a strain heavier than it was intended to do, there is an increased wear. Our rule is to bring an implement to the machine shed whenever the task for which it was taken out is completed, although we are aware that it will be needed again in a few days. In this way much exposure to storms and sun is avoided, aud then when it is needed we know just where to find it, and no time need be lost. Then the machine is always in a better condition for use, and this is often no inconsiderable item. The Farmer's Partner. We should not forget that we have partners who are equally interested in all our business transactions. The* wife's efficiency in the home will be in­ creased by a knowledge of and inter­ est in the husband's business. As uo other branch of business owes so much of its prosperity to wives as does the j farmer's, do not be selfish in this mat­ ter. See that your wife has all the modern improvements for lessening her labors.--Ohio Farmer. Camphor in Drying Up Cows. A French Agricultural paper pub­ lishes the following recommendation for the use of camphor as an aid in drying up cow's which are very persist­ ent milkers: Camphor administered in powder sorpe weeks before parturition, says Hoard's Dairyman, dries up the milk of cows, which is something very im­ portant. Two cows, one being three weeks, the other four, before the term of parturition, and giving five litres of milk and four litres respectively, were treated with powdered camphor put on/ their tongues at the back of the mouth, three times .-daily, in doses of thirty grammes. In ten to fourteen days both had run quite dry. As the milk diminished they were milked once in two milkiugs, then in three, and finally once in five. The milk must not in any case be defective, hence the .necessity of milking'thoroughly. To run a cow dry when continuing to supply milk was, previous to this experiment, an impossibility. Camphor, it is needless to remark, has the same effect on mares. Without impairing health or the udder, camphor causes dryness in a few days without difficulty. Is the one True Blood Purifier, . He Struck the Ex-President. *• Gus Butterworth, the poular boniface of the Ridgeway House, Is probably the only living man who, literally speak­ ing, struck a president of the United States and received thanks instead of a term in jail for it. Mr. Butterworth once gave it to Benjamin Harrison in the neck and he lives to tell the tale. It was while President Harrison was living in his Cape May cottage. Mr. Butterworth was running a hotel not far from the executive residence. One day while enjoying a ride 011 a trolley car Mr. Butterworth, who happened to be sitting behind a short, thick-set man with gray hair ahd beard, noticed a very large.,healthy mosquito getting its bloody work in on the back of the thick­ set man's neck./' Acting on a very nat­ ural impulse', Mr. Butterworth raised his right hand and brought the palm of it down on the baek of the man's neck with a resounding slap. The man turned quickly around and Mr. Butter­ worth saw that he was the President of the United. States. . "I beg your pardon," said Mr. But­ terworth. "but there was a mosquito on your neck." * "Thank you very much." remarked the chief executive, cordially. "Judg­ ing from the force of your blow I don't think the insect will give me any more trouble. I don't use slang very often, but this is the first time 1 ever got it iu the neck--at least in that fashion." Then Mr. Butterworth plucked the dead mosquito from the President's neck, and he and Mr. Harrison entered into a pleasant chat 011 general topics. Mr. Butterworth has that mosquito yet. --Philadelphia Inquirer.

Nice Gruel. ( f missionary's wife, Mrs. Paton, had been very ill on a lonely island in the Pacific, and when she recovered suf­ ficiently to write to vher friends at home She thus described one of her ex­ periences: * When I Was able to take an intelli­ gent view of my surroundings, this is what I first remember seeing: {John (her husband) sitting by my bedside witli an old straw hat on the back of his head and a huge tin basin between his knees half full of what tasted like very thin, Sweet, porridge, with which he was feeding me loving­ ly out of the cook's Iong iron spoon! He assured me that it wis water gruel,; th&t lie had got into, the -way of making it nicely now; but that he could not find a clean dish on the premises to put; it in? A,;-- •. He was so proud of his cooking that 'I asked for the recipe, and you have it here: Equal parts of meal," sugar and water--a cupful of each for one dose; boil all together till there is a smell of singeing, whereby you know it is suf­ ficiently cooked! Reversing an Old Saw, A wide tire ordinance failed to pass the City Council of Minneapolis. One of the arguments used iigainst. it was that it would be too expensive for busi­ ness houses' using truck wagons to equip them all with tires to come within the limits of the ordinance. This is evi­ dently on the theory that a pound of cure is worth more than an ounce of prevention. In other words,.these busi­ ness men would rather pay a pound of increased taxes for repairing paved streets' than an ounce of expense to have paved streets that do not need re­ pairing. Another point claimed was that it 1 would also be a hardship oh the farm­ ers in the vicinity. This shows how much Minneapolis aldermen know about the cost of. wide ,tires on farm wagons.' Or if they are posted, they must have strange ideas of what con­ stitutes a hardship. Five dollars, at the outside, will cover the additional cost of a farm wagon with three-inch tires, and if wide tires were adopted by all the farmers in the vicinity of Min­ neapolis each farmer would save ten times that' amount in the first year.

Ten years ago no tone dreamed that the time would ever come when women Would be directly interested concerning the condition of the public thorough­ fares. But the bicycle which is respon­ sible for such a general stirring up of old conclusions has really set them to thiuk- iug 011 this very topic. And when a woman thinks she's very likely to act. Just one weak little woman's momen­ tary impulse will often result in mora real purpose being accomplished than will a three days' convention of wise old professors whose excessive pru­ dence is a positive prohibition to pro­ gress. It is said that twenty pretty bicycle girls of East Lynn, disgusted by the j disgraceful condition of the public 1 roads in those parts, determined re­ cently to institute a radical reform. The turned out in full force with picks, shovels and rollers, and repaired the worst of the road. vWlien the bloom- ered beauties finished their week's work they pointed with pride to several miles of road Which they had made fit for wheeling. In Cincinnati recently one hundred women armed with brooms, hoes, wheelbarrows and shovels began early one morning to clean the^streets. From early in the morning until sunset- the women toiled and one of the principal streets of the city was cleaned as bright as a new dish pan. Whenever a street cleaning official came along that way he was loudly hissed. It was an object lesson which it would seem can hardly fail to have its effect. If the women of this broad land seri­ ously take up the matter of good roads and clean streets something definite and immediate will be the result, be­ cause woman is a determined creature and "If she will do't, she will; and there's an end on't."

One of the New York food reformers who would improve the diet of man­ kind has put out a proposition for the eating of bones, after they are ground fine. He holds that under the existing regimen, the bones of the human frame are not properly supplied with the chemical elements needed to keep them in sound and vigorous condition, and that these elements can be most easily obtained by consuming the powdered bones of the animals ordinarily used for food. He would sprinkle a steak or chop, for example, with bone dust, after the manner in which it is sprin­ kled wtttr salt and pepper, and he main­ tains that thus the taste of the meat may be greatly improved.--New York Sun. from the Four Winds. A wholesale dry goods merchant of New York recently gave a supper to twenty of his friends engaged in the dry goods business in the city. As one of the guests happened to speak of the State in which he was born, the host made inquiry into the nativity of the others, and it turned out that the twen­ ty men were born in twenty different States of the Union. Five were natives of New England States, four of South­ ern States, seven of States running from New Jersey to the Mississippi, two of States beyond the Rocky Moun­ tains, one of Nebraska, and one of New York. The host of the occasion was a Harlemite by birth.--New York Sun. Her Kind Act. My friend Mrs. B is one of those good-natured ...women- who are always wanting to make other people comfor­ table.

The plant lice on cabbage (Aphis brassica) and the common melon plant lice (Aphis cucumeris) may be destroy­ ed by spraying with kerosene emul­ sion, taking pains to reach the colonies of lice, especially on the underside of the leaves, where they are likely to congregate, ^o do this it is necessary to have a nozzle arrange^ so as to throw the spray upward to the under­ side of the leaves, or, in the case of, cucumber vines, it may be most con­ venient to turn the vines carefully over while the spray is being applied. The cabbage worms will also be killed by the kerosene emulsion, if wet with the solution, but when on the inner leaves, or burrowing in the heads of cabbage, it is difficult to reach them with any direct application. Loudon purple, in a solution of one pound to two hundred gallons of water, can be used until the cabbages are well headed out, and even then, if applied around the' lower leaves on which the worms are numer­ ous, there will be no danger of poison. Milk for Chickens. Milk contains everything necessary to the growth of chickens. Skim milk, if mixed with meal, is equal to fresh milk, says the Philadelphia Ledger.

The whey may be heated to scalding and thickened with meal. Add to this dough a small quantity of dripping or lard, salt to ta.ste, and bake in a slow oven. Or, instead of separating the curd from the whey, mix all together, thicken the meal, add shortening and salt, then bake slowly for a long timer To make chickens grow there is noth­ ing like variety of foods.
