*^P r ^ TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.

Entered according to act of Congress, In the year 1900 for the year 1901, by The Enniss PuBiiiSHmoCompany, Proprietors and Publibhers, in the office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.

>«®-NoTK.—This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N. C ALMANAC, in honor of the lateHkney D. Turner, for many years a Bookseller in the City of Raleigh, and who first published it inthe year 1838.

Explanations and Remarks.

The calculations of this Alm9,nac, except for the predictions of the Tides, are made in mean solartime. This is the time indicated by a well-regulated watch or clock, which has been set to agree withthe sun on four days of the year, viz, April 15, June 14, September 1, and December 24. On all otherdays in the year the suti will come to the meridian before or after noon by the clock; and this diflfer-^

ence, called Equation of Time, is given for each, day in the column marked '* sun fast " or " sun slow."The predictions of the Tides are given in Eastern Standard Time (75th meridian, W.), which is the

time now in general use in towns and on railroads, and which is faster than mean time at Raleigh by14 minutes 32,4 seconds, and at Wilmington by 12 minutes.All calculations involving latitude and longitude are made for Raleigh, the dome of the Capitol being

in latitude 35° 46.'5, and longitude 78° 38' 6."i ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a few minutesfor ajiy part of North Carolina and the adjacent States.

Rising and Setting of the Sun.

The Almanacs generally used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This isIncorrect. During some portions of the year the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De-clination, that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here givenhave been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearestwhole minute.

Eclipses in 1901.In the year 1901 there will be two Eclipses of the Sun, one of the Moon, and a Lunar Appulse.I. A Lunar Appulse on May the 3d.II. A total Eclipse of the Sun, May 17th ; invisible here. Visible to the East Indies, Slam, Hindos-

tan. Madagascar and the Indian Ocean.III. A partial Eclipse of the Moon October 27th, not visible here; the beginning visible generally

throughout the eastern portion of Europe, in Asia, the Pacific Ocean and Alaska ; the end visible allover Europe, the eastern part of Africa, in Asia and the Pacific Ocean.IV. An annular Eclipse of the Hun November 10th ; Invisible here. Visible to eastern Europe, east-

ern Africa, nearly all of Asia, to Borneo, Sumatra^and the greater part of the Indian Ocean.

Tides.

Local time of high water can be found approximately for the following places by adding the corre-sponding intervals to the local time of the Moon's transit over the local meridian. The time of thenext corresponding tide can be found approximately by adding 12 hours and 25 minutes to the tidealready found. In this almanac the tides for "Southport, N. C, are given in Standard Time, and havebeen derived from data furnished by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.

Obseryations.1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the

fairer will be the weather during the next seven days.2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more foul or wet weather may be

expected during the next seven days.4. The space for this calculation occupied from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These

observations refer principally to the Summer, though they aflfect Spring and Autumn nearly in thesame ratio.

5. The Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hours1. e., from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as

is noted in the table.

4 TURNER'S NORTH CAROLINA ALMANAC.

PUBLISHERS OF TURNER'S N. G. llLIVIflNflC,

Henry D. Turner, founder of Turner's N. C. Ai-manac, was bom May 2l8t, 1791, at Plymouth Hoi-.^5!;!S^',^?^-

He came to Raleigh In 18aO and established the famous North Carolina Book Store. In1838 he beean the publication of Turner's N. C. Almanac. He died In Raleigh November 6th, 1866,James H Euniss, the successor of Mr. Turner, was bim in Petersburg, Va., September 19th, 1823. He

eame to Raleigh in 1867, having purchased the North Carolina Book SU)re. He continued the publica-tion of the Almanac under the name of Turner's N C. 'Ii.manac. in honor of the former publisher,repeatedly enlarging and improving it. He died in Raleigh, May 22d. 1900. After his death this pop-ular Almanac passed into the hands of its present owners and publishers, the Enniss Publishing Com-pany.

Leap Year.Leap Year, or Bissextile, originated with the as-

tromomers ot Julius Ceesar, 45 years B.C Theyfixed the solar year at 365 days 6 hours. The sixhours were set aside, and at the end of four years,forming a day were added to February. In 1582the calendar was again altered by PopeGresory toIts present state of 365 days, 6 hours. 48 minutes, 51seconds and 6 decimals, which is the true lengthof the astronomical year. So in the course ofyears the fragments of time are fairen up, thiscaused 1900 not to be a leap year. 1896 was our lastleap year, 1904 will be our next, making an inter-val of seven years between, the next leap year be-ing the eighth year lollowing the last leap yearinstead of the ordinary fourth year.Years divisible by 4 without a remainder are

•ailed leap years. Century years divisible by 400without a remainder are also leap years.

Stars.

Of the 20,000,000 stars down to the fonrteenthmagnitude, Inclusive, 18,000,000 lie in and alongtbe Milky Way.No star, probably, is absolutely "fixed" In space,

but every star has a "proper motion ; " that is, itis moving in some direction among the surround-ing stars.

The Twentieth Centnry. .

The twentieth century, which will begin onTuesday, January 1,1901, will have twenty fourleap years, the greatest number possible Febru-ary will have five Sundays three times—1920, 1976,and 1984. The earliest pof-sible date on whicheaster can occur is March 12. The last time it oc-curred on that date was 1818. The latest date thatEaster can occur is April 25. It will occur butone time in the coming century on that date—1943. The middle day of the century will be Jan-nary 1, 1951, There will be 380 eclipses during thecoming century. In 1935 there will be seven eclipses.There will be eight solar eclipses visible in theUnited States—1918, 1923, 1925, 1945, 1954, 1979, 1984,and 1994.

The Son's Motion.The sun turns on its axis once in about twenty-

five days. Its equator remains always in oneplane. The earth revolves about the sun in aplane which is Inclined to the plane of the sun'sequator by about 70 degrees ; that is, the earth is

sometimes seven degrees above (in September),sometimes seven deerees below (in March), theplane of the sun's equat-or. The eflect is thatsometimes one pole of the sun, sometimes theother, is turned toward a spectator on the earth.

METEOROLOGICAL.

The velocity of light is 192,000 miles in

a second of time. From the sun light

comes to the earth in eight minutes.From some of the fixed stars of the twelfthmagnitude it takes four thousand yearsfor the light to reach us.

Clouds that move in a contrary direc-

tion to that of the surface current indi-

cate a change of weather, because theyprove the existence of two air currents,

one warm and the other cold, and themingling of these frequently causes rain.

Sudden changes and^ dangerous windstorms occur generally 'whenever the ba-

rometer falls suddenly from a mediumheight through from one-half to three-

fourths or an inch during a few hours of

time. If the barometer occupies two orthree days in falling one-half or three-

fourths of an inch below the medium (lo-

cal) height, it then generally changesmore moderately, and raises slowly, witha strong, dry, cool wind, often raising to

half an inch above medium height duringthe next two or three days. But if thebarometer falls from half to three-fourthsof an inch from a medium height duringa few hours of time, then a strong storm,hurricane or tornado may be expected to

be in progress somewhere not far off.

Within one year the statement has beenmade from no less a place than the plat-

form of the Lowell Institute that the dis-

coveries of astronomy, so far as the powerof the telescope controlled these, seemedto have reached the utmost possible limitof observation, as the mere enlargementof a telescope beyond the size of theYerkes did not, because of atmosphericconditions, increase the power of obser-vation, and now the spectroscope has beenbrought into play, and the wonderful dis-

coveries regarding the true nature of thePole Star are startling the world. It

opens a new chapter in the romance of

astronomy. The Pole Star has been re-

garded as the one—and, indeed, the onlyfixed and absolute in the universe. What-ever changed, it was steadfast. What-ever revolutions or process of evolutionthe vast glittering firmament underwent,this beacon light was constant. SuddenlyProfessor Campbell of the Lick Observa-tory makes a wonderful discovery. ThePole Star is not one body, but three. It

is one of an intricate triple system, all ofwhich are in constant and rapid motion ofa complicated order, advancing and reced-ing, and two of the three are revolvingabout the other.

TIMES AND SEASONS.

There are two kinds of time—clock ormean time and' apparent or sun time.Clock time is always right, while sun timevaries every day; the sun very seldombeing on the meridian at 12 o'clock, solarday differing in length, owing to the ellip-

ticity of the earth's orbit, etc. ; but a meansolar day, as recorded by clock time, is

twenty-four hours long.

A calendar month varies from twenty-eight to thirty-one days. A mean lunarmonth is twenty-nine days, twelve hours,forty-four minutes, two seconds and asmall fraction. A solar year, or the tran-

sition from one vernal equinox to another,consists of 365,24244 solar days, or 365

days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and49.536 seconds. A Julian year is 365 days,

a Gregorian year is 365.2425 days. Everyfourth year of leap year has 366 days.

The early Egyptians divided the dayand night each into twelve hours, a cus-

tom adopted by the Jews or Greeks prob-

ably from the Babylonians. The day is

said to have first been divided into hoursfrom B. C. 293, when a sun dial waserected in the temple of Quirinus, at

Rome. Previous to the invention of waterclocks, B. C, 158, the time was called at

Rome by public criers. In early Englandone expedient for measuring time was by

wax candles, three inches burning an

hour. The first perfect mechanical clock

was not made until about A. D., 1250. Daybegan at sunrise amongst most of the

Northern nations, at sunset among the

Athenians and Jews, at midnight amongthe Romans, as with us.

Why Is It that. According to the Al-

manac, THE Days Commence to LengthenAT Night Before the Winter Solstice,

AND Continue to Shorten in the Morn-ing A Week or More After the Solstice?

—If one observes the arrival of the sun

at the meridian with the aid of an unus-

ually accurate timepiece he will discover

that this event does not always occur ex-

actly at noon. Owing to the combined ef-

fects of the obliquity of the earth's orbit,

and the inclination of its axis, the sun

is about fifteen minutes ahead of time late

in October, fifteen minutes behind time onFebruary 10, four minutes ahead on May13, and six minutes behind on July 28.

On only four days, April 15, June 15, Aug.

31 and Dec. 24 does the sun cross the

meridian exactly on time. Owing to this

wabbling of the centre of the day, its twoends are correspondingly shifted first In

one direction and then in the other.

Garden Calendar for January.

Prepare hotbeds. Asparagus beds give heavydressing with c »mpo8t and salt. Radishes s«>wsparsely from time to time. Horse-radish coi-tmgs put out. Onions may still be planted, alKOGarlic and Shallots. Lettuce plants fiom fallsowing transplant. Spmach may be sown foreaily spring use Onions hoe and all other hardycrops planted in autumn. Peas pow at Intervals •

some may be frcsred, but try again. Turnips forearly crop sow. Trees and shrubbery mav betransplanted and praned. Early FUt Dutch 'Cai»bage seed sow in hotbeds. Collect p.enty of n a-nure.

FARM UrOTES.

Work to-day, for you know not howmuch you may be hindered to-morrow.

Keep all animals in dry, clean, andwell ventilated quarters. It is one of thebest preventives of sickness known.

Harness thoroughly soaked by rain is

harsh in the next wearing; keep it suit-ably oiled that it may be partly imper-vious.

January is the month to begin withfarm accounts. It is just as important fora farmer to keep books as for a merchantto do so, as he will not be able to esti-

mate the profit or loss at the end of theyear unless he knows how much has beenexpended and for what purpose. By keep-ing accounts the farmer will be more in-

terested in the market reports and be-

come better informed. He should chargehimself with articles consumed on thefarm and also keep an account againsteach animal.

It requires just as much harrowing,plowing, drilling, rolling, harvesting, etc.,

for twenty bushels per acre as for fortybushels. Hence, if forty bushels can begrown where only twenty bushels wouldhave been produced, the extra twentybushels is clear gain, because a certain ex-

pense must be met if the yield is only ten

bushels per acre. Save the cost by in-

creasing the yield. The first bushels all

go for cost. Every bushel beyond the cost

is profit. The labor must be applied at

all events and it should be well invested,

like every other expenditure.

JSS" A man's own interpretation of the Instinctof fatJierh<:>od is the only thing that can furnishhim with the idea of God which is worth havmg.It is n ) weak word. It impersonates love, butlove that can be severe, as well as tender. Hemay, nay. He must punish and discipline Hiswa> ward child, yet He will never, never utterjyforsake him, nor cast him oft forever.—Rev. Dr.A. J. Can field.

"I understand you are engaged to MissLong?"

"Yes; my first engagement.""Your first?"

"'Yes; I never smelled powder before."

A Western minister, who is not alwaysso careful as he ought to be in making his

preaching and his practice consistent, waslately telling some friends a story of ad-

venture. It was a long story, and theminister's little ten-year-old girl listened

to it very intently. When he finished,

she fixed her wide open eyes upon herfather's face and said, very gravely, "Is

that true, or are you preaching now,papa?"

A Dream:Papa (at the breakfast table.)—^Willie,

my boy, why are you looking so thought-ful? Are you not feeling well?

Willie (very serious.)—Yes, papa, but I

had a strange dream this morning.Papa.—Indeed? What was it?

Willie.—I dreamed, papa, that I diedand went to Heaven, and when St Petermet me at the gate, instead of showingme the way to the golden streets, as I ex-

pected, he took me out into a large field

and in the middle of the field there was aladder reaching away up into the sky andout of sight. Then St. Peter told me thatHeaven was at the top, and that in orderto get there I must take the big piece of

chalk he gave me and slowly climb theladder, writing on each round some sin I

had committed.Papa (laying down his newspaper).

—

And did you finally reach Heaven, myson?

Willie.—No, papa, for just as I was try-

ing to think something to write on the

second round I looked up into the sky andsaw you coming down.

Papa.—And what was I coming downfor, pray?

Willie.—That's just what I asked you,

papa, and you told me you were going for

more chalk.

Garden Calendar for February.If not done last month, prepare heating mate-

rials for hotbeds; for which select situation pro-tected by a fence or wall. Asparagus beds redress,grafting execute. Fruit trees and shrubbery trans-plant. Plant early potatoes. Spinach sow, alsoRadishes, Carrots, Parsnips, Salsify, Beets, Cab-bage plants from different sowings, transplantLettuce plants. Peas plant^the extra early is thebest. In hotbeds sow Cabbage, Tomato, Eeg Plant,Lettuce, Radish, etc Don't be deterred in youroperations for fear of loss by change of tempera-ture, but have at hand the means of protectionagainst hard weather, or you will be behind yourenterprising neighbor.

FARM NOTES.

Whatever else pushes you, do notneglect manure making. The saving, mix-ing and care of all materials adapted to

increasing your piles should be carefullyattended to.

Look well after tobacco beds. Give oc-

casional top-dressings of guano, or henmanure, and sift plaster over the plants.

See that the beds are well drained andkept free from weeds.

Always plant the best seed that youcan get for every crop. If your neighboror anybody else has some better sort besure to get it and get it now to be readywhen planting time comes. Rememberthat one of the important points of suc-

cessful farming is to plant the best seed.

From the 15th February to the 15thMarch is the proper time to sow clover

and grasses, whether upon small grain or

by themselves. Clover and orchard grass

make a good combination as they are

ready to mow at the same time. Propor-tions per acre: Clover seed fifteen pounds,orchard grass two bushels. Of herds andblue grass seed sow one bushel per acre.

There is one thing in favor of the poul-

try business. With eggs and chickens the

poultry keeper can find material for a

good dinner any day, while the man witha herd of fat steers or a drove of fat hogscan not take off a dinner and leave the

rest until another day.

In no branch of farming is there a bet-

ter margin for profit than in the poultry

business.

Table.—1, 2, 3, cold and rain; 4, 5, 6, 7, fair; 8, 9,

4^ Let us thank God, then, first of all, for seedtime and harvest, and the b undless wealth andblessing for which they stand. At the foundationlies the bread question ; and the farmer and histoll and the fruitage of that toil underlie all therest. In cities we overlook this too easily ; andcommerce and manufactures and organized labor,rearing mighty structures, make us too easily toforget the sowing and plowing, the rain and thesunshine—Grod's benediction upon all our broadacres, in one word—as the foundation of the whole.—Bishop Potter.

The way a Milwaukee, justice does it:

—

"Have him?" "Yes." "Have her?" "Yes.""Married; $2.00."

A locomotive is always spoken of as"she" because of the horrible noise it

makes when it tries to whistle.

Wife: "You certainly were green whenwe got married."

;: Husband: "Yes, I must have been, but

i I've been blue ever since."

Visiting Friend.—"How are you coming: on?"

Sick Man.—"Well, the doctors havegiven me up, and now I have struck a newway to get well. I will now give up thedoctors. I'll get even with them."

"My brodders," said a waggish coloredman to a crowd, "in all infliction, in all

ob your troubles, dar is one place you canalways find sjrmpathy.""Whar? Whar?" shouted several."In de dictionary," he replied, roling

his eyes skyward.

A ragged boy about 10 years old sat onthe fence in front of an Arkansas cabin,and just as I came up his mother came tothe door and called "Moses!" in a loudvoice. The boy did not look around, andafter a minute she called "Abraham!" Hemade no move, and I was asking him theway to Greenville when she put out herhead and called "Luke!" He did not ap-pear to hear, and had answered me that it

was seven miles, when the mother raisedher vcice still higher and shouted "Mark!""Your mother is calling you," I said,

as he paid no attention."No, not me," he replied."But who, then?""My brothers over in the woods. She's

called for Moses, Abraham, Luke andMark. She'll call for Philetus, Jeremiah,Judas and Abel, and if they don't comeshe'll yell out for Ananias, and that'll

mean me, and I'll jump."

Garden Calendar for March.

Transplant hardy Lettuce, also Cabbage plant*from winter beds, especially the large York.Fresh beds of Asparagus, Artichokes, Sea Kale,and Rhubarb and Strawberry set out

;plant Peas,

Potatoes, Onion Sets and early Corn: sow Cab-bage, Carrot, Celery, Cucumber, Beets, Egg Plants,Leek, Lettuce, Mustard. Melons in hotbeds, Okra,Parsnip, Pumpkin, Pepper, at the close of {themonth. Radish, Salsify, Spinach, Turnips andTomatoes sow in warm situation.

FARM NOTES.

Plow deep while sluggards sleep; andyou shall have com to sell and keep.

Many farmers are too much in a hurryto do spring plowing. It does not pay toplow soil where there is much clay whilethe furrow is wet and the soil sticks tothe plowshares.

There are thousands of farmers nowplodding along in ruts who should get outof them. They own their land and it is

their own fault if they do not make it pro-duce the largest profit that in any waythey can get from it.

Scientists say that 40 per cent of thefeeding value of the corn crop is in thestalks when properly cared for, yet wherethe most corn has been grown, this partof the crop has often been wasted, or util-

ized only in a careless fashion that savedbut a small portion of it.

Tobacco dust made from stems, etc., is

very useful to sprinkle over the beds to

keep off the green fly, and to protectyoung melon, squash and cucumber plantsfrom the bugs by sprinkling them with it

often. It also has useful properties as afertilizer, being rich in potash and nitro-

gen.

Cultivation of a crop does not implythat the crop must be plowed, or theground dug up, thereby injuring the roots

and often retarding the growth of plants.

The first duty is to plow deeply, and har-

row the soil fine before seeding. Afterthe seed is in it is only necessary to stir

the top soil an inch or two to destroyyoung grass and weeds and to provide amulch by keeping the top of the soil loose.

other, the other day, "John, does yourschoolmaster ever give you any rewardsof merit?" "I s'pose he does," was therejoinder; "he gives me a lickin' everyday, and says I merits two."

Peckley—"My wife wants to have a por-

trait in oil of her mother, but the old ladyis dead, and we have no likeness of herexcept this photograph. Could you makea portrait from that?"Daubley—"Oh, yes; I will promise to

give you a speaking likeness."

Peckley—"That won't do. I don't wantthat kind."

Jack.—"Do come out on the beach for astroll, won't you?"

Ethel.—"Well, if you press me—

"

Jack (flinging his arms around her)—"Why, of course, I'll press you, my dar-

ling."

Ethel (struggling blushingly)—"Oh, I

didn't mean that. I was going to say^ if

you press me I suppose I must."

"I assure you, judge, that my physicianis responsible for my being a thief."

"Do you mean to say that he hypnotizedyou and compelled you to commit acrime?"

"I won't say that, but I do know that heordered me to take something before go-

ing to bed.";

Another Bright Boy.—A young ladyhas a Sunday School class of rather brightboys averaging between seven and nineyears. Recently she requested each pupilto come on the following Sunday withsome passage of Scripture bearing uponlove. The lads heeded the request and in

turn recited their verses bearing uponthat popular topic, such as "Love yourenemies," "Little children, love one an-

other," etc. The teacher said to the boywhose turn came last, "Well Robbie, whatiB your verse?" Rising, he responded,"Song of Solomon, second chapter, fifth

verse—'Stay me with flagons, comfort mewith apples; for I am sick of love.'

Garden Calendar for April.

If not done last month, plant Cabbage, Peaa,Patatoes. Beets, Corn, Spinach, Mustard, Turnips,Cucumber, Squashes, Pumpkin, Radish, Tomato,Okra, Carrots, earsnlp?, Celery, Salsify, Pepper,Lettuce, Egg Plant. Plants set out in Februaryand March will require culture. Sow Leeks forwinter use. Sow Druahead, Flat Dutch andDrumhead Savoy Cabbage seed for plants to beset out in June. Beans may now be planted, drillLettuce if intended to head ; draw up earth to Po-tato vines. Turnips sowed last month should behoed and thinned. Transplant spring-sowed Cab-bage and manure well if you expect fine heads.Citron and Watermelon plant. Small Onions setout in Autumn will now be fit for use. Aspara-gus is now in season; hoe beds to exterminateweeds. Additional root crops may now be sown.Transplant all kinds of perennial kerbs. Remem-ber to keep down the weeds.

FARM NOT£S.

i.ack of selling ability keeps manyfarmers from getting top market prices.

Taking the chill from drinking waterfor the cows in winter is beneficial.

Diversified farming enables the farmerto have some crop nearly always readyfor market.

Credit tempts the buyer regardless of

economy. Ready cash purchasers savemoney in the end.

That sheep are more profitable for theaverage farmer than cattle, and especially

for those owning hilly or broken farms,can not be denied, as sheep will thrive

where a steer will starve, and for renew-ing worn out and run down farms theyhave no equal, as they soon rid the landof weeds, briars and brush, while their

manure is rich and is distributed evenly

over the surface of the soil.

Paris green destroys all the insects

which attack the grape vine, and the black

rot, the downy and powdery mildew, andthe anthracnose or rust can be prevented

from doing harm by the use of Bordeauxmixture and copper sulphate solution. Donot use Bordeaux mixtures after the

grapes are half grown. Spraying the

vines every year regularly seems to give

them more strength and give larger andbetter crops after a few years of treat-

menL

"There are lots of people," says a Texaspaper, "who mix their religion with bus-

iness, but forget to stir it up well. As aresult the business invariably rises to thetop."

Elevator Boy (to old Mr. Kentuck, whohas just arrived at the hotel)

—"Will youtake an elevator, sir?"

Old Kentuck (smiling broadly)—"Waal,I don't keer ef I do. I'm feeling a little

low spirited jes' at present."

Wee Johnnie curled up in his little cot bedThrough a rift in the curtain saw the

shining moon peep;He rose on his knees and with clasped

hands he said:

"Please, Dod, blow your lamp out—metan't do to sleep."

"Charles," she said, as she brushed thehair back from his forehead as he satreading the paper yesterday moming,"-"Why is a watchdog smaller in the morn-ing than he is at night?" "He ain't."

"Yes he is." "Because he has to be let

out at night and taken in in the morning."

A little girl observed her mother meas-uring cloth by holding it up to her nosewith one hand and reaching out ta arm'slength with the other. She assumed athoughtful aspect, and after cogitating afew moments, asked: "How can youmeasure cloth that way? Can you smella yard?"

May.—"Charley, you must be carefuland not expose yourself. You were out inall that rain last night."

"Charley.—"No, I wasn't. What madeyou think so?"May.—"Why, papa came home and said

he met you coming from the lodge, andthat you were thoroughly soaked."

"Papa, didn't you whip me once for bit-

ing little Tommy?" "Yes, my child; youhurt him very much." "Well, then, papa,you ought to whip sister's music master,too; he bit sister, yesterday afternoon,right on the mouth; and I know it hurther, because she put her arms around hisneck and tried to choke him."

Garden Calendar for May.

Attend to plantations of Cabbage, Cauliflower,etc.; hoe them frequently and draw earth to thestems; thin out early planting of Beets, Carrots,Parsnips and Salsify, and sow all kinds omittedlast month. Transplant Cabbage, Beets, Lettuce,Tomato, Egg Plant from hotbeds to warm borders.Plant Beans, bush or bunch, for a succession;Lima, Carolina and other pole Beans, Cabbageplants, sow seed if not done last month, also Car-rot, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Indian Corn cropswhich have failed first s wmg. Repeat Melons,Mustard, Pepper, Peas, Potatoes, Pumpkin andSquash. Sow Cabbage for winter ; corn plant forsuccession. Finish sowing all kinds of Aromatic,Pot, Sweet and Medicinal herbs.

FAltM NOTES.

The wise farmer has plenty of workplanned for a rainy day.

Discussing politics at the village storeis mighty poor farming.

It is the many little things well doneon the farm, that bring success.

More farm implements wear out fromrest and neglect than from use.

After all, the best big crop on the farmis the bushels or pounds and not acres.

This is something that should be regardedmore than it now is.

Every farmer ought to strive to increase

the yield per acre of each crop grown andif he does not he is not making progress.

It can be done and every farmer shouldsay, It shall be done.

Sweet potato slips may be set out this

month. If the weather is dry dip theslips in a grout of clay and dung, pressthe dirt to the roots and fill in lightly

around the stem. Pour a gill of waterinto each hill before the loose dirt is

thrown around the stem.

It is frequently noticed that whenwatermelons come up among the sweetpotatoes they seem to thrive better thanwhen planted the usual way. This is

due to the fact that the sweet potato andmelon vines cover he ground, shade it,

and prevent the loss of moisture fromthe soil. In other words, the sweet potatovine* serve as a mulch for the melon.

Garden Calendar for June.

Plant Kidney Beans. Peas, Pumpkin seed, Sum-mer Radish, Beets; thin out tbe latter planted:Sow Tomatoe-^ for a suf^cession; sow Beets anaCarrots; transplant Cabbage, Celery and Cucum-ber; Melocsaod Squashes may be planted for asuccession, also Corn. As herbs come into flowerthey should be cut and put in a shady place todry. Thecbief labor of the garden had better bedirected to what is already in growth.

FARM NOTES.

A day's neglect to repair a break in afence, may cause cattle to become breechy.

Pure bred stock costs no more to keepthan common, and they are more profit-

able.

It is the slack farmer who cries out that"farming does not pay." His methodswould not let it pay.

An old clover sod, plowed under now,and the soil given an application of woodashes, is one of the best locations for late

potatoes or corn. It is also the bestground for late cabbage, as the cut-wormswill then be less injurious.

Grain crops should be put in smallshocks, and in four days of good weathermay be housed or stacked. It is bad pol-

icy to leave grain crops long in the field.

"Save that already made" is a safe maximin farm life.

Curculio of the plum stings the fruit

while it is quite small. The trees shouldbe jarred in early morning, beginningwhen they are just passing out of flower

and the sluggish beetles caught on a sheet

opened beneath the tree for the purpose.

Afterward those caught on the sheet

should be burned.

Grape Vines.—If mildew makes its ap-

pearance the vines should receive a thor-

ough dusting of sulphur at frequent inter-

vals until it is subdued. A still morningis the best time to do the dusting, using a

bellows to throw the sulphur on to the

under side of the leaves. The presence of

mildew is known by the white spots which

it makes on the leaves, and afterwards,

if not attended to, upon the clusters of

fruit.

1^~ We are like soldiers in a vast, widely ex-tended battlefield, wrapped in obscurity, of wtiichwe know not the phases, of which we seem utterlypowerless to control the issues; but we are respon-sible for our own part,—whatever goes on else-where, let us not fail in that. The changes of theWorld, which men think they are bringing about,are In ihe hands of God. With him, when we havedone our duty, let us leave them.—Dean Church.

Wigg—"Young pop suffers terribly frominsomnia." Wagg—"Indigestion?" Wiggs—"No; twins."

Why is a clock the most modest piece

of furniture? Because it covers its face

with its hands, and runs down its ownworks.

Husband—"Maria, my dear you seemto be very lonesome in my company. Doyou not love me now as you did before ourmarriage?" Wife—"Why, of course, Ger-ald, but you know since our marriage wehave become one and I feel lonesome."

American Heiress—"Dear Max, I wouldbe yours, but I lack faith. Are you really

and truly a count?"Max Von Spiegeleisen—\"I s.wear it,

peautiful laty."

A. H.—"Have you ever borrowed a dol-

lar from my brother?"M. Von S.—"I haf not."A. H.—"And—pardon me—do you pay

your board and laundry bills promptly?"M. Von S.—"I do."A. H.—"Are your gambling debts all

paid?"M. Von S.

—"Effery one, sweetheart."A. H. (sadly)

—"Then farewell forever!You are no count. Out of my sight, in-

stantly! Begone!" (Faints.)

A surgeon who is often absent-mindedwas dining at the house of a friend.

"Doctor," said the lady of the house,"as you are so clever with the knife, wemust ask you to carve the leg of mutton.""With pleasure," was the reply.

And setting to work, he made a deep in-

cision in the joint of meat. Then (what-ever was he thinking about?) he drewfrom his pocket a bundle of lint, togetherwith several linen bandages, and beganto bind up the "wound" in due form.The guests were stricken dumb at the

sight. But he, still deeply absorbed in

thought, suddenly looked up and re-

marked, triumphantly:"With rest and care he will soon be bet-

ter!"

Garden Calendar for July.

Transplant Cabbage, Endive, Leeks, PepperPlants, Cauliflower and Broccoli Sow Carrotsand Parsnips if needed; sow Endive for early crop:a few turnips may be sown; transplant Celery forearly supply, and prepare trenches lor the maincrop. Spinach may be sown towards the last ofthe month. Irish Potatoes plant Cucumbers forPickles; plant Beans; sow Cabbage seed for Col-lards; sow Summer Radish in drills; sow Turnip-roottd Cabbage seed ; cut Fennel, Mint, Parsley,Sweet Majoram, Thyme, Winter Savoy. Cut herbsfor winter use as they come into flower.

FARM NOTES.

Small fruits should be a source of reve-nue on the farm.

Sheep are great weed destroyers, andwill quickly improve land.

Guess work will not determine whatpays on the farm; knowing brings profits.

Tobacco now needs careful working,that the grass may be destroyed, and theland left clean and porous.

Women should know how to harness ahorse. Emergencies may arise when suchknowledge would be valuable.

Sweet Potatoes.—Keep perfectly clean—if necessary the middles may be plough-ed and the earth drawn up to the, vines

with a hoe. It is not well to disturb the

beds much after the vines have fairly be-

gun.

Buckwheat is best sown about the mid-dle of the month. Put your land in goodcondition, apply one hundred and fifty

pounds of a good superphosphate, sowfrom a half a bushel to three pecks of

seed, harrow it in and roll.

Rutabaga Turnip.—Sow this month.Ashes and superphosphates are proper fer-

tilizers. Sow in new land or a good sandyloam. Plant root crops and save yourcorn, the too much feeding of which is

now said to be the cause oi hog cholera.

Fall potatoes should be kept clean; noother crop suffers so much from neglect.

Keep the soil light and clean, and if prac-

ticable give one or two top dressings of

a mixture of ashes, salt and plaster, say

a bushel or two to the acre.

4®= We are apt to underrate the moral qualityof a man's regular vocation, his daily ta«k, his^husinees, to look somewhere apart from this forhis opportunity for achieving character and doinggood. But there is nothing else that is so delermi-Ditiveuf a man's chara'^ter. nothing else that soburnishes hands for his oeneflcenseandieetto run•errands of good will —John v

. Chadwick.

Why are ships called she? Becausethey always keep a man on the look out.

Why is a woman mending her stockingdeformed? Because her hands are whereher feet belong.

Why is a pig the most extraordinaryanimal in creation? Because you first

kill him and then cure him.

What is the difference between an auc-

tion and sea sickness? One is the sale of

effects, the other the effects of a sail.

Why should the sea make a betterhousekeeper than the earth? Because theearth is exceedingly dirty, and the sea is

very tidey.

"My son," said an old lady, "how mustJonah have felt when the whale swallowedhim?" "Down in the mouth," was theyoung hopeful's reply.

"Johnny," said a fond mother to herboy, "which would you rather do—speakFrench or Spanish?" "I would rather,"said Johnny, rubbing his wristband andlooking expressively at tSe table, "I wouldrather talk Turkey."

"Well, Mr. Smithers, did your boy Johnget through his examinations at collegeall right?" asked the rector.

"Not all of 'em," said Mr. Smithers, "Hepassed in Latin, Greek, English and math-ematics, but he flunked on football."

A young wife remonstrated with herhusband, a dissipated spendthrift, for hisconduct. "Love," said he, "I am like theprodigal son; I shall reform by and by.""I will be like the prodigal son, too," shereplied, "for I will arise and go to myfather."

In his "Lighter Moment," the late Bish-op Walsham How tells of a lady, a greatadmirer of a certain preacher, who tookBishop Magee with her to hear him, andasked him afterward what he thought ofthe sermon. "It was very long," theBishop said. "Yes," said the lady, "butthere was a saint in the pulpit." "And aiinartyr in the pew," rejoined the Bishop.

Garden CaleiYdar for August.

Plant Peas and Beans; prepare ground for Tur-nips, Spinach, Shallots, and sow Cabt»age S"ed tohead in November. Large York and Earlv Dwarfand Flat Dutch are excellent varieties at this sea-son. Sow GoUard seed, earth up Celery Broccoliand Cauliflower sow, and transplant from an earlysowing. Onion sets to stand winter. Carrors sow,Squashes sow, Ruta Baga sow. Turnips for tableuse at intervals. Potatoes plant for winter use.Lettuce drill for heading, sow Lettuce for Autumnuse. Radishes sow from time to tlm^-. Beeis maybe sown for wiuter supply, but as the seed v<ge-tate with diflBculty at this season, rf^peat untilsuccessful ; cut sage and other herbs, gather seedand prepare ground for late crops.

FARM NO TBS.

Neat home surroundings denote a goodfarmer.

Milk cows regularly, and do not changemilkmen.

A varied diet with a litile corn is best

for the large breeds of poultry.

Weeding out unprofitable stock on the

dairy farm is what brings success.

It requires just as much knowledge to

successfully run a small farm as a large

one.

Turnips may be sown at any time this

month. One pound to the acre is suffi-

cient if sown broadcast, which is the modegenerally adopted. Superphosphate of

lime seems especially suited for turnips,

and about 200 pounds to the acre will notonly give them a vigorous start but carry

them through the season so as to pro-

duce a good crop.

The Pork Supply.—Hogs intended for

slaughter the coming winter should beginto receive close attention. Should anysigns of disease appear among your stock,

they had better be taken from the woodsand turned into a pasture for a few days,

feeding them in the meantime on boiled

slops and vegetables. An occasional messof cooked food is very good for the health

of hogs at any season. The messes should

be well impregnated with red pepper, andphysicked with copperas, a teaspoonful to

each animal. The copperas causes the liv-

er to act well, and brings away the worms.

ii^ Salvation is not the petty conception of per-sonal safety from some far-off doom. It is thesaving of the whole man ; it is the domination ofthe higher nature over the lower; it is the educa-tion of the spiritual, the development, the evolu-tion of the God in us. that divine spark in allhumanity that can never be wholly extinguished.—William D. Little.

What kind of essence does a young manlike when he pops the question? Acqui-escence.

Why can not a deaf man be legally con-victed? Because it is unlawful to con-demn a man without a hearing.

Askin—"Why do these Populistic sil-

verites do so much talking?" Teller

—

"I suppose they believe in the old sayingthat silence is golden."

Judge—"Accused, you want the trial de-

layed because your lawyer is sick, butyou have confessed to a fresh crime. Whatcan your lawyer say for you?"Defendant—"That's what I am curious

She wished to break it to him gently."I have decided," she said, "to return yourring." He, however, was a resourcefulman, who did not believe in letting awoman get the better of him. "Youneedn't bother," he replied. "I buy themby the dozen."

"I never go to the same summer resorttwice," said the girl with auburn hair.

"I always like a change." "Anythingfresh where you are this summer?" askedthe girl with blue eyes. "Only a coupleof young men just out of college," repliedthe auburn-haired one.

"I beg your pardon!" And with a smileand a touch of his hat Harry Edmon hand-ed to an old man against whom he had ac-

cidentally stumbled the cane which he hadknocked from his hand. "I hope I did nothurt you.""Not a bit," said the old man. "Boys

will be boys.""I'm glad to hear it," and lifting his hat

again Harry turned to join his playmates."What do you raise your hat to that old

fellow for?" asked Charlie Gray. "He is

old Giles, the huckster.""That makes no difference," said Harry.

"The question is not whether he is a gen-tleman, but whether I am one, and no truegentleman will be less polite to a man be-

cause he wears a shabby coat or hawksvegetables through the streets."—Authorunknown.

Garden Calendar for September.

The work in the garden is again commenced Inearnest. Draw up earth to the pea vines and stickas they advance. It is not too late to plant Beans

;

transplant Cabbage sown last month. Early Yorkand large York Cabbage may be sown ; towardsthe end of this month sow Flat Dutch and Drum-head and Early large Cabbage seed to come up inthe spring, and to secure a good supply sow liber-ally ; transplant Cauliflower and Broccoli ; sowTurnips. Potatoes planted last month will requireculture. Onions may be sown for a general cropif buttons to plant are not on hand. Carrots sownwill be fit for use In Df cember. Spinach may besown from time to time. Celery plants need til-

lage. Lettuce may be transplanted. Sow Rad-ishes frequently.

FARM NOTES.

Failures should be teachers; they showwhat it is necessary to avoid.

Old-time methods are slow coaches ia

comparison with present facilities.

Rye,—If not done sow rye for pasture

and early forage. It will grow on poorerland than any of the small grains and is

exceedingly nutritious for stock.

Shelter for Stock.—Before cold weath-

er comes on, see that the stables are madecomfortable. Nine farmers out of ten

never make any change from winter to

summer, or summer to winter.

Have the stables tight below, protecting

the legs and body from cold drafts and see

that proper ventilation is secured above.

Provide plenty of litter. Cut straw is the

best. It makes nice bedding and nice

manure.

Drying Fruit.—Those who expect to

dry peaches and apples this season to

command the best prices, follow these di-

rections: Cut clear-stone peaches in

halves and dry with peeling on. Peel

clingstone and slice in large pieces. Peel

and cut apples in quarters, taking out the

cores, as those will be most in demand and

bring the best price for shipment. All

dried fruits sell principally by color,

which should be bright, and to obtain the

same in apples and peaches, they should

be prepared for drying before fully ripe.

Sliced apples, if not bright do not pay for

the trouble of slicing.

A traveler was riding on one of thecoaches in the Trossachs of Scotland,when the driver said to him:

"I've a coin guv to me today two hun-dred years old. Did you ever see a cointwo hundred years old?"

"Oh, yes," was the reply. "I have onemyself two thousand years old."

"Ah," said the driver, "have ye?" Andlie spoke no more during the rest of thejourney.When the coach arrived at its destina-

tion, the driver came up to the man withan intensely self-satisfied air and said:

"I told you as we came along that I hada coin two hundred years old."

"Yes.""And you said to me as you had one two

thousand years old."

"Yes, so I have.""Now, you be a liar!""What do you mean by that?""What do I mean? Why—it's only 1899

now!"

Garden Calendar for October.

Beets planted ]ast month cultivate. Cabbagetransplant, also Cauliflower and Br< ccoli. Tur-nips hoe. Onions sowti lasi month will be readyto transplant; small bulb onions eet out. Spinachfor winter use sow. CeJerj' earth up in dry weatherand transplant from the bed for further supplies,also Lettuce for Spring use. Radishes sow as re-quired ; \sparagus beds dress ; Strawberries trans-plant. Tafce up potatoes and other roots, securethem from wet and frost; collect Pumpkins andWinter Squashes, and expose them to the windsand air on a dry bench before they are stowedaway.

FARM NOTES.

Farmers should have everything readyin advance of the season's change.

Timely attention on the farm brings abountiful record; neglect the opposite re-

sult.

It costs less to maintain docile farmanimals, and the docility of the animal is

an evidence that the farmer is humane.

The fall is a good time in which to at-

tend to draining the farm. The impor-tance of attending to this work is nowgenerally admitted. The result will re-

pay the labor expended.

Fall plowing should not be neglected.Much valuable time and labor is in this

way saved in the spring and some springcrops will thrive better on land plowedat this time. Plow all now which are to

be sown with spring grain.

Pumpkins are usually kept in the barnloft and covered with hay, being used onlyas a change of food. If a large crop of

pumpkins are grown they should have a

special place, but they keep best whenprotected by a covering of hay or straw.

They are highly relished by stock, andmay be sliced and fed raw.

The arts of feeding and of caring for

and applying manure never needed to be

better understood or more faithfully prac-

ticed than at the present time. Farminghas become the most intensive business in

the world, and intensive, skillful, thought-

ful methods must be employed, if even

good living is to be got out of the avo-

cation.

What kind of sickle is most seen in

What lock requires the attention of aphysician ? Lock-jaw.

What is that which is full of holes andyet holds water? A sponge.

At a dinner party recently a dude foundhimself seated between two young menwho had just started a merchant tailoringestablishment. "I—aw—have been placedbetween two—aw—tailors, it seems," saidhe. "Yes," replied one of the tailors;

"you see, we are beginners, and at presentcan only afford one goose between us."

"So you are looking for a position," saidthe merchant to the youth with the highcollar and noisy necktie. "What can youdo?"

"Oh, any old thing," replied the youngman. "Of course I don't expect thejunior partnership at the start, but I wantto be sure of an early rise."

"Very well," replied the merchant, "I'll

make you assistant janitor. You will rise

at 4 o'clock every morning and sweep thefloors."

A well-known divinity professor, agrave and learned man, had five daugh-ters, whom his students irreverentlynamed "Genesis," "Exodus," "Numbers,""Leviticus" and "Deuteronomy."Begining his lecture one day the pro-

fessor said: "Gentlemen, I wish to speakto you about the age of Genesis."Roars of laughter came from the stu-

dents."Genesis is not so old as you suppose,'

continued the professor.More roars—so long continued, indeed,

that the worthy man had time to think be-

fore he made the next remark. He saidtimidly—and he managed to hit the markthis time:

"I may not be thinking of the same Gen-esis as you are!"

Garden Calendar for November.

Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rowsagainst a ridge, so as to form a square, compact,close growing bed. the roots and stems buried upto the lower leaves of the cabbages, the beds maythen be covered with straw, or a temporary shederected over them. Beets dig and store. Carrotsdig and store. Celery earth up finally. Onions Instore examine. Turnips and Salsify dig for con-venient access. Now is a good time to transplantfruit and ornamental trees and shrubbery. Springis generally a better time for transplanting ever-greens.

FARM NOTES.

The Japan persimmon, grafted on ourwild persimmon, is said to be a grandsuccess.

Trim your fruit trees so as to give afree, open top, no two limbs touching or

crossing each other.

Charcoal is an aid to digestion, andshould be given occasionally to fowls andswine. Corn burned on the cob is the

best form in which to give it.

For almost all farm crops it is better to

mix mineral fertilizers with stable ma^nure, and apply the whole thinly, than to

fertilize altogether with either.

Potash fertilizers have decidedly provedthe desirable qualities of fruits. Wherev-er the percentage of this element hasbeen raised, the change is accompaniedby an increase of sugar and a decrease of

acid. This is important—a matter of dol-

lars and cents. Other things being equal,

the fruit with the largest per cent of sugarwill bring the highest price.

Every device for saving labor in the

management of our farm work, should be

taken advantage of. Every farmer mustrealize that the profits in his business at

the present time are often wiped out bythe cost of production, while prices re-

ceived for farm products have a down-

ward tendency in the markets of the

country. This is attributable largely to

annual increase in supply, but more par-

ticularly to the bad methods employed by

the Southern farmer in marketing his pro-

duce.

G. Holland.

What is the difference between a school-

master and a railroad conductor? Onetrains the mind and the other minds thetrain.

There is in Memphis a certain old ladywho always has a kind word for every-body, and it matters not what the atro-

cious crime or misdemeanor on^ may com-mit, this old lady finds some extenuatingcircumstances in the case and some wayto excuse the imrpetrator. Her son oneday, provoked by what he considered un-due waste of sympathy, exclaimed in dis-

gust, "Mother, I do believe you would see

some good in the devil himself!" "Well,my son," quietly and quickly returned theold lady, "I only wish that you had one-half of his perseverance!

"

His Example Was Premature.—

A

buildW in Glasgow, having heard that his

men did not start to work at the propertime, thought that he would drop downabout 6.30 some morning to see. Goingup to the yard he caught sight of a jointer

standing smoking, with his kit unopened.Simply asking his name, which he foundto be Malcom Campbell, he called himinto his ofl&ce and, handing him fourdays' pay, told him to leave at once. Af-

ter having seen the man clear out of theyard he went up to the foreman and told

him he had made an example of MalcomCampbell by paying him off for not start-

ing at the proper time."Great Scott!" exclaimed the foreman,

that chap was only looking for a job."

CHRISTMAS WEATHER PROVERBS.

A warm Christmas, a cold Ea.ster.

A light Christmas, a heavy sheaf.A green Christmas, a white Easter.A green Christmas makes a fat grave-

yard.A wind on Christmas day, trees will

bring much fruit.

If' Christmas finds a bridge, he'h breakit; if he finds none, he'll make one.

If ice will bear a man before Christ-mas, it will not bear a man afterward.

Garden Calendar for December.

Everything that needs protection should nowbe attended t«>. if the weather be open the groundmay be ploughed or trenched to receive the bene-fits of the winter frost. Compost prepare ; dungprepare for hotbeds. Hotbeds attend to. Radishand 8alad sow in frames, also Lettuce. Trans-planting treffe nay still be done. Prune fruittrws, vines, et<5. Transplant all hardy plants.Cabbage plants sown in Oct'>ber will be fit to putout. Sow large York to head in January and Feb-ruary. Small Onions may still be planted. Earthup Celery in d y weather. Thin Spinach as youcollect for dally use.

FARM NOTES.

Never break off a limb on a valuabletree ; always make a smooth cut.

It is found by trial that horses wateredbefore being fed grain gained faster thanthose watered afterward.

It is a correct observation that nine-

tenths of our orchards are planted tooclose, and their usefulness is greatly im-paired thereby. Give each permanent tree

plenty of room.

Attend now to clearing up around thehome lot, utilizing all leaves, etc., for bed-

ding and manure. See, also, if it has notalready been attended to, that all the

buildings are sufficiently tight to protect

the stock from the inclemency of the

weather.

Not every man knows how to dig upand set a tree. In digging up a tree the

edge of the blade of the spade should al-

ways point to the tree and a little trench

be dug some distance from the trunk. Bythis means no roots are severed that are

useful. In setting it out the roots should

not be bunched or cramped.

Clean and put away all tools which are

not now needed. If it pays to clean themwhen in use, much more will it prove

economy to bestow extra care upon thembefore laying them aside for the winter.

The iron should be dressed with somepreparation, such as the following: "Rosin

and beeswax in the proportion of four of

rosin to one • of wax, melted together."

Apply hot. It may also be well to paint

the woodwork.

Estimating Net Weights of Animals.

It Is a very difficult thing to ascertain with anydegree of certainty the probable net dressedweight of an animal when alive, the gross weightof which can be found on the scales. So muchdepends upon the breed, size and degree of fatness—in other words, the thickness of the flesh uponthe frame.A cow or an ox well fatted, weighing l,2(to

pounds when alive, will give close to 800 poundsof dressed beef when slaughtered. But one inthe same condition weighing 2,000 pounds willgive a larger proportion of dressed meat. Asheep of 100 pounds live weight rarely gives morethan 60 pounds dressed mutton, while one of 200pounds live weight will often dress 140 pounds ormore. On hogs the shrinkage Is much less, usu-ually in well bred, weH fed animals over 200pounds gross not exceeding one-seventh. Thefollowing rule for estimating the dressed weightof live hogs we find in a late number of the JVa-tional Live Stock Journal: "From the first 100pounds deduct 25 pounds, from gross; from thesecond 100 pounds deduct 12>^ pounds; from thethird 100 pounds deduct 6}i pounds ; all over thethird 100 Is net. Thus a hog of 300 pounds liveweight will give 256>^ net weight, and as a generalrule 43% pounds only should be allowed forshrinb age on every hog of 300 pounds or over. Ahog of 100 pounds will net 75 pounds ; one of 150pounds, ns^; one of 2C0 pounds, 1623^; one of 250pounds, 209%."


HEALTH AND HYGIENE.

Hygiene of the Eye.

When the eyes ache close them for five

minutes.When they burn bathe them in water

as hot as can be borne, with a dash Olwitch hazel in it.

After weeping bathe them in rose waterand lay a towel wet in rose water overthem for five minutes.When they are bloodshot sleep more.When the whites are yellow and the

pupils dull consult your doctor aboutyour diet.

Milk for Disordered Stomach.

Milk disagrees with some, but onlywhen taken in conjunction with otherfoods; taken solely for one month thestomach will resume its pristine vigor,

and give new life and happiness to per-

sons aflaicted with ills which no one,

save those who have experimented on thesubject, would believe could proceed fromso simple a cause as a disordered stomach.

Eating Apples at Night.

Everybody ought to know that the ver>best thing he can do is to eat apples just

before going to bed. The apple has re-

markably efiicacious medicinal properties.

It is an excellent brain food, because it

has more phosphoric acid in easily digest-

ed shape than other fruits. Ic excites theaction of the liver, promotes sound andhealthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects

the mouth. It helps the kidney secretionsand prevents calculus growths, while it

relieves indigestion and is one of the bestpreventives known for diseases of thethroat. No harm can come to even a del-

icate system by the eating of ripe andjuicy apples before retiring for the night.

—Dr. Searles in the Bulletin of Pharmacy.

Lemons for Lung Diseases.

Lemons are regarded as excellent thei-

apeutic agents in lung diseases, and manyinstances have recently been placed onrecord where they have been of great ben-efit. When used for a lung trouble fromsix to nine a day should be used. Morejuice is obtained from lemons by boilingthem, says the Cincinnati Lancet-Clinic.

Put the lemons in cold water and bringslowly to a boil. Boil slowly until theybegin to soften; remove from the water,and when cold enough to handle squeezeuntil the juice is extracted; strain andadd enough loaf or crushed sugar to makeit palatable, being careful not to make

it too sweet. Add about twice as muchwater as there is juice. This prepara-tion may be made every morning, orenough may be prepared one day to lastthree or four days, but it must be kept ina cool place.

The Great Value of Deep Breathing.

Cultivate the habit of breathing throughthe nose and taking deep breaths. If thishabit was universal there is little doubtthat pulmonary affections would be de-creased one-half. An English physiciancalls attention to this fact: that deepand forced respirations will keep theentire body in a glow in the coldest weath-er, no matter how thinly one may be clad.He was himself half frozen to death onenight, and began taking deep breaths andkeeping the air in his lungs as long aspossible. The result was that he wasthoroughly comfortable in a few minutes.The deep respirations, he says, stimulatethe blood currents by direct muscular ex-ertion, and cause the entire system tobecome pervaded with the rapidly-gener-ated heat.

To Become Healthy.

Professor Shuetuck says: Eat fruit forbreakfast. Eat fruit for luncheon. Avoidpastry. Shun muffins and crumpets andbuttered toast. Eat whole-meal bread.Decline potatoes if they are served morethan once a day. Do not drink tea orcoffee. Walk four miles every day. Takea bath every day. Wash the face everynight in warm water. Sleep eight hours anight.

The Prognosis of Drug Habits.

The morphine habit becomes practically

incurable in five years. The user of alco-

holic spirits may continue eight or tenyears before he reaches the incurablestage. This will depend on the free in-

tervals between the time of using spirits.

When he becomes incurable he may ab-

stain, but the injured brain and nervoussystem never recover. The Quarterly.Journal of Inebrity.

Wool or sik underwear should be wornby all subject to sudlden temperaturechanges, especially by the gouty andrheumatic and sufferers from catarrh orthroat and lung affections.

The blood of a person getting a suffi-

ciency of pure air tingles to the tips of

the fingers and toes and the elimination of

waste matter in the food is much nearerperfection.

HISTORY AND QUALITIES OF THE

Southern Prize TurnipTHE SOUTHERN PRIZE TURNIP is an entirely new variety, and the credit of its

origination beloQgs to North Carolina.THE SOUTHERN PRIZE is a hybrid, and was originated several years ago by a

horticulturist of Wake County. It was hybridized by the large Norfolk Globe and SevenTop, a salad lurnip. The result is a turnip combining the best qualities of the two, andwhich for size, flesh, flavor, hardness and salad, is without an equal. In fact, it was foundso superior to all other varieties, and so well adapted to our Southern climate, that theseed sold, when first introduced, at the extraordinary rate of FIFTY DOLLARS PERPOUND, and was called the Fifty Dollar Turnip.

Another result of the cross is, that this hybrid turnip is not affected by insects. Nordoes it pith or become spongy, as turnips usually do; but keeps sound, sweet and juicy.

It has no equal for root or salad, producing more salad than any other turnip, and twoweeks earlier than any other variety. It stands extreme heat or cold. As to production,they are very prolific, yielding large crops; and as to size, they have measured twenty nineinches in circumference. As a farmer expressed it, " they are just large enough."

Jt^^AlJ seed deteriorate unless kept up to their original standard. The seed from yearto year have been kept up to their original pufity and excellence, and we offer theGenuine Southern Prize Turnip Seed, new crop of entirely fresh seed of 1900. They areworth double any other variety. These seed are grown specially for us by an experiencedhorticulturist, who succeeded the originator of the seed, and who grows them upon thesanoe farm where this remarkable turnip was discovered.

PRICES OF SEED.—One pound, postpaid, 75 cents ; half pound, postpaid, 40cents; quarter pound, postpaid, 20 cents; one dozen papers, postpaid (one quarter pound),25 cents; per single ounce, postpaid, 10 cents.
