Farm Notes.
[Farm Field aud Bteckmau.l
Put tlia best man ou the (tack, even if it
ia the "boy."
Ja tbat your cultivator standing out'i Pat
It under cover.
Didn't you say you were going to puttbe
harvester under covor to-morrow? l>o it
to-diy.
A Washington county, Obi , farmer,
ninety yours old, assist* tbe bands in the
harvest field.
Farmer in tbe 8cbuylklli valley, Penn-
sylvania, have been doing their work by
moonlight to escape tbe midday beat,
x A grain stack In better to be topped out
wltb.slough grata tbau to be drawn in ao
quick that there is a "shoulder" on it where
tbe water can "wet in."
Don't let any big weeda go to seed. To
be sure they don't, burn them before tbey
shell out. If too green to burn well a little
Straw will help thorn.
t
After a shower is a good time to go
through tbe corn field and see if you can
find any strong bl{ weeds tbat were skip-
ped when cultivating. If you find any pull
them out.
The Ur6t car load of new flax seed was
received In this city July 21 from southern
Kansas and graded No. 1. Last year tbe
first uew flax was received July 18 lrom
Kansas and graded No. 1.
Tbe storm of last week showed plainly
that to care lor tbe harvester property it
should bave a canvas cover over it each
night when left in the field. Last Saturday
the weather Indications were "fair weath-
er." Tbe rain descended before an hour
after quitting time and drenched every-
thing.
in building grain stacks it will be eco-
nomical to place some rails,old boards, hay
or atraw ou tbe ground before commencing
tbe stack. In case we have a wet tall or
your threshing Is delayed, there will not be
muddy or rotten butts to go through tbe
machine, or musty grain to go into the bin.
Alter tbe grain is harvested it 1b a num-
ber one plan to clean up the stack yard,
before beginning stacking, draw out all tbe
manure and 11 any old straw is left that can
be used for bedding put tbat in as little
space as possible, mend up the fences and
bave a good ready for stack making by the
time tbe grain is dry enough to draw in.
The Kansas State Fair Association offers
for coflnty displays of farm products four
premiums, $200, $150, $100 and $00, res-
pectively, and every county in the state
should make on exhibit, not merely to com-
pete for these piizes. but to have their own
locality represented. For a display of farm
products by an individual (tbe material
may be gathered up all over tbe county)
th- ee premiums are offered as tollo ws: $75,
950 and $!!*>. This should be an incentive
to the farmers to prepare a good collection
from his county fair and bring or send to
Topeka.
Of the 4,200 kinds ot flowers which grow
In Europe only 420, or ten per cent, are
odoriferous. The commonest flowers are
the white ones, of which there are 1,104
kinds. Less than one-fifth of these are fra-
grant. Of the 051 kinds of yellow flowers
77 are odoriferous; of the 823 red kinds, 84;
of the 5t)i blue kinds, SI; of tbe 808 violet-
blue kinds, 13. Of the 240 kinds with com-
bined colors 28 are fragrant.
J. A. Ells, of JklcLeod county, Minn.,
Writes "that honey sweet corn 1 received
With Farm, Field and Stockman, I planted
Hay 4. July 24 it was large enough for
roasting ears. How is that lot Minneso-
ta?"
When we come to think of it, It is indeed
i curious fact that America has'no national
Bower to which she can point with pride
ind affection, as does Ireland to the Sham-
rock, Scotland to her Thistle, England to
her Rose and sunny France to her Fleur-
de-lis.

Kev. W. B. Kacbman, a leading Presby-
terian minister of Chattanooga, states that
an the top of White mountain iu western
North Carolina are three trees of tbe cach-
ion species growing close together, each
being about a foot In diameter and about
ttfteen feet In height. The top of the trees
Is about twenty feet in diameter and per-
fectly fiat, being so completely ínterwoveu
tbat a number of persons can walk on theni
with ease. Twelvó persons can lie down
on tho top of tbe trees without danger ol
falling, indeed, so close are these tops
that holes had to be cut in the middle lor
persons to get on top.
Never allow the fowls to go thirsty.
Above all things keep the hen bouse
elean and well ventilated.
Don't forget that green food Bhould be
fed to fowls when confined.
Save the best birds lor next year's breed-
ing and send the others to market.
11 your hens lay solt-shelled eggs tbey
are probably too fat. Put them to work
icratcblng.
Don't forget to keep your chicks away
rrom tbe bug pen. Hogs have a weakness
for young chicks.
Kcmcmber that cockerels as well as pul-
lets aie "spring chickens." Next spring
they wiy be "old roosters," worth about
half as much in market as hens.
Young poultry should not be fed with
the older ones. It will always pay to keep
i coop and provide a board or shallow
trough in order to economize feed.
When a cow becomes troublesome, tries
to kick over tbe pail, won't give down her
milk, and so on, there Is a cause lor it, and
tbe cause will vory olten be found outside
the cow—she bas not been properly treated
and she resenis it.
The Atlanta Constitution says that tbe
hulls of cotton seed of the cotton slates ot
the soath will produce uioie beet, buttet,
pillk and cheese, inote wool and mutton,
than all the clover and blue grass ot Ten-
nessee, Kentucky and Ohio.
In passing through the country after tbe
severe storm ot last week no one could
help being impressed with tbe Importance
of thorough work when shocking grain.
Tbe difference in tbe way tbe shocks stood
after tbe storm, was very marked, some of
them did not stand stall, others were more
or less down. In soma fields 'the shooks
stood as stralghat ae before the surra, these
would soon dry out as the id* and wind
could get through them. Tnose that we re
badly down would heve to bo retboeteU
. •• ' is
Is doubtful It they would dry out Wore
moulding or sprouting. Of course where
there is high wind, well made shook are
blown over as well as trees and solid built
houses. We are referring to hard rains
tbat are accompanied by some wind. Use
care In shocking grain and you will find
that it pays.
Tbe value of the cotton exported during
tbe fiscal year endiog July 1, 1839, was
9-30,S0$,100.
Celery is not only very healthful for man,
but for beasts also. So dou't waste the
leaves and root trimmings.
The American raven, which naturalists
thought exiinot, Is still found In Columbia,
and etullivan counties, Pennsylvania.
A gentleman of Pomona, Cal., says that
only five days bave passed slnoo March
1888, that he has not had tresh strawberries
on his table.
It Is said that tbe life of rose plants
greatly varies. Soineofihe hardiest kind
will bloom for thirty yea , while others
die oil' after several seasons.
The black aphis, or black fly, is often
quite troublesome to Cbryanstbemums,
but can be conquered by persistent appli-
cation of Dalmatian powder with the bel-
lows.
The nstlonal flower question bas become
a regular war of tbe poples. Golden rod.
sunflower, magnolia, violet, arbutus, maze
and many others bave their partisans.
Prizes for 1880, offered by the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, amount to $(>,-
000— $3.000 for planta and flowers, $1,700
for vegetable , $300 for gardens and groen-
houses.
E. S. Carman ol the Rural New Yorker
says that for fifteen years be bas planted
nil tbe new strawberries he could hear of,
and during these years be has raised many
new seedlings, "not one or which has
shown that it was worthy or introduction."
The Country Gentleman says the prac-
tice of "hilling" potatoes during cultiva-
tion and growth is almost universal, and In
most instances is positively detrimental to
productiveness, yet it is nearly Impossible
to convince tbe farmers of this fact.
A prominent grower states tbat. taking
everything into consideration, tbe best two
roses from last year's long list ol' new va-
rieties arc Mrs. John Latng, a Hybrid Rem-
ontant, and tbe Hybrid Tea Meteor. The
lutter was pushed, perhaps the least of any.
and has gone to the front on its merits.
One of tbe greatest drawbacks in dairy
work Is tbe dilliculty in obtaining honest,
ialthful help.
The only pure, native l(lsh cow is the
Kerry. A small, handsome cow, yielding
a large quantity or nice milk, even under
adverse circumstances.
Almost anybody can milk a cow, but
there are lew who can do it properly, it
Is an art, and the man who can practice It
is worih more to the dairyman than any
other beip.
Scarcely any two cows are exactly alike
in disposition and in tbe character and
naturo ot their teats and udder, and the
good milker will study to know his cow in
order that bo may know how to treat her.

Cholera la IXichiKan.
Dr. F. D. Larke, or Rogers City, Michi-
gan, says the epidemic of last year in
l'resquc Isle county, in which so many
persons lost their lives, was choleric dys-
entery instead ol' cholera, as first reported.
He used Chamberlain's Colic Chotera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, aud says it succeeded
where all other remedies failed. Not a sin-
gle case was lost where It was used. This
Remedy is the most reliable and most suc-
cessful medicine known for colic, cholera
morbus, dysentery, diarrhoea and bloody
llux. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by VV.

ODENHEIMER COTTON BUGGING,
44 inches wide, weighing three-c|uarters of a pound to the yard, which cover-
ing was adopted for permanent and exclusive use by the
National Farmers Alliance and Wheel of America,
at their meeting at Birmingham, Alabama, on May 15 and 16, 1889. Price,
j 2cents net cash, f. 0. b., New Orleans.
On orders aggregating 25,000 yards during the season, 2 per cent allowance.
Orders to be placcd as soon as possible.
Orders once placcd are irrevocable and no cancellation will be accepted

certificate of bank or responsible business house, stating they will pay our sight
draft for the amount of the bagging when shipped.
The bagging is put up in rolls of about 50 yards each.
It is desirable, in order to make payments easier, to direct your orders to be
shipped twice a month, say from August to December. To avoid mistakes,
make ypur shipping directions very plain.
We are probably the only mill making the bagging 44 inches wide this sea-
son, for which reason, we think we will be overcrowded with orders soon; it is
desirable, therefore, if you wish your orders booked in time, that you place
them at once. THE LANE MILLS,
