rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness arc not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with mill ions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its leneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness" without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effect, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali

all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of

Dane county, WIs
cousin. The best
ground for cucum
bers is a deep loam
or prairie soil. If
it is a little sandy
all right, but il
should not be too
rolling. It should
be nearly level, bo
as not to wash. The
ground should be well worked,
and made fine and rich. For
early cucumbers in Wisconsin,
from the 20th to the 25th of
May is the right time to sow the seed.
Further south the sowings can be
made earlier. When cucumbers are to
be raised for pickles the seed may be
sown from the 10th to the loth of June
the seedsmen will give the time.
For fertilizer, we use any good man
ure that is free from foal weed seed and
that does hot cost too much. Well
rotted barn-yard manure will do. Give
the ground a light dressing of wood
ashes if it can be done. A barrel of
salt per acre will also help matters.
Plow and work fine and plank to hold
the moisture and to break the lumps.
Our cucumbers here have suffered a
good deal from drouth in the last
few years. Irrigation would help mat
ters a good deal.
When we are raising cucumbers for
pickles we harvest them every other
day, so that the pickles will be more
uniform in size and also to increase the
total yield of the crop. Our greatest ob
stacle here is drouth. If I were to start
in now raising the crop mentioned I
would find some good grocery man in
Chicago or some other large western
city that would take the crop.
Frank D. Barnes. Vernon county,
Wisconsin. For cucumbers, a clay
loam and clay subsoil is preferred. It
should be made fine, deep and well
firmed. Plant the seed as soon as the
clanger of frost is over, that is, the main
crop for the early garden. If very early
crops are desired, the seed can be sown
in the hot beds and on inverted sods,
and set beside a barrel filled with man
ure and with holes in the bottom. You
can use hot water on the manure each
day, if not too wet. We use stable
manure and also ashes at the rate of
100 bushels to the acre, and the same
amount of air-slacked lime. We cul
tivate with a garden cultivator and
hoe and keep a fine dust mulch over
the ground.
Drouth troubles us to some extent If
very dry, and we do not have water to
irrigate, we put on coarse manure for
a mulch or cover with old boards. We
pick off the cucumbers as soon as they
are big enough for market, keeping
them in a cold cellar or in cold water.
I might say that our greatest diffi
culty hers is in finding a market to
take all the fruit We sell on the home
market and also pickle them.
Put a barrel where you want a hill
and plant the seeds on three sides of
it and close to it If bugs trouble, dust
the plants with air-slaked lime, and
occasionally turn onto the manure a
half-pail or pail of water. If very dry,
use a pail each night. If you want to
keep your vines in bearing, do not let
any of the cucumbers go tb seed, as
the formation of seed takes too much
of the vitality of the plant.
E. C. Alsmeyer, Dane county, Wiscon
sin. Use well-fertilized prairie soil
plowed at least ten inches deep. Plant
as soon as the danger of frost is past in
hills six feet apart, and from four to
five seeds in a hill. For fertilizer,
we use horse manure. We cultivate
each way with a one-horse cultivator
and harrow. We harvest when ripe,
gathering the seeds from the best ones
and feeding the balance of the cucum
bers to our hogs. We find the bugs the
greatest trouble.
Nelson Cox, Lawrence county, Ohio.
Plow and harrow the land very fine,
and manure very heavy in the hill with
stable manure. Plant early as soon as
the ground gets warm, putting ten
seeds in the hill. As soon as the plants
get two rough leaves, thin out to four
plants in the hill. We think that barn
yard manure worked up fine is the best
fertilizer. Stir the ground shallow and
often to keep down the weeds, and
work the hills by hand. We harvest for
market and for slicing just as soon as
they get rge enough and before thes
begin to turn yellow. The little striped
bug gives us a good deal of trouble.
D. C. Branson, Miami county, Ohio.
Any good corn land will produce cu
cumbers, but preferably I would take
black loam inclined to the north away
from the hot sun. Land already in
good condition should be kept so by
an application of well-rotted barn-yard
manure. Plowing need not be done
until immediately before planting.
Seed should not be planted until all
danger of spring frosts arc past. Plant
shallow, about a dozen seeds to the
hill; scatter the seeds so that in thin
ning out the roots of one does not dis
turb those of another. Two or three
plants are enough to leave for maturity.
Leave the thinning out as late as possi
ble, that you may be prepared for
emergencies. The cultivation may be
shallow with cultivator until vines com
mence running, after which keep
ground clean with hoe. Cucumbers are
easily affected by drouth, and that with
out much remedj'. Perhaps there is
nothing tetter in this than mulching
about the hill with something that will
retain moisture. Chip manure (almost
an extinct article) or rotten sawdust
is good. In our locality, the people are
largely in favor of making and putting
up their own pickles, hence there is
a local home demand for any surplus
that our farmers or gardeners may
have. The difficulties to cultivation are
drouth and the striped bug. To protect
the plants from the bugs, cover the
plants with boxes, eight or nine inches
square and seven inches deep. Cover
with wire screen. Keep the boxes over
the plants until the fourth or fifth
leaves are forming. Do not wait until
hugs come before you cover the plants,
for they will immediately burrow about
the roots.
Sweet Clover.
E. F. T. writes: "How deep do you
plow sweet clover seed in? Would it
grow on sandy soil? In what month
do you generally sow it?"
Without paying any attention to the
order of answering, I may say that I
don't generally sow it at all, but let it
sow itself. My brother-in-law, who is
r. much better farmer than I, insist?
that it is best to have nothing else sown
with it The piece that I spoke of be
ing plowed in was plowed in
last spring about six inches
deep in May. seed having fallen

Wkm to Spray.
I have apple, pear, peach, plum, cher
ry, apricot and crab apple trees. Some
of them are now in bloom. With what
material,, when and how often shall I
spray? A Subscriber.
For full instruction how to spray
all kinds of fruits send to your experi
ment station for a spraying calendar.
As to the fruits mentioned above we
will answer by publishing the advice of
the Cornell experiment station:
Apples. For the scab, spray first
with copper sulphate solution before
the buds break. This, however, is a
spraying of small importance. Spray
the second time with Bordeaux mixture
when the leaf buds are open, but before
flower buds expand. 2. Repeat the last
spraying after the petals have fallen.
4. Spray with the Bordeaux mixture ten
or fourteen days after the third spray
ing. 5 and 6. Repeat 4 at about ever'
two weeks. For the.canker worm ap
ply paris green very thoroughly as
soon as the first caterpillars appear.
Repeat this in eight tb ten daysjind
follow up at like intervals if necessary.
If you are troubled with the bud moth,
spray with Paris green as soon as the
leaf tips appear. Repeat before the
blossom buds open and twice after the
petals have fallen. For the condlln
moth, spray with. Paris green immedi
ately after the blossoms have fallen.
Repeat this in ten days, and if later
broods are troublesome repeat this
spraying every one to three weeks.
Paris green may be added to the Bor
deaux mixture, and the two applied
together with excellent effect. For the
case-bearer, spray as for the bud-moth.
Peaches. For brown rot, spray be
fore the buds swell, with copper sul
phate solution. Spray before the buds
open with the Bordeaux mixture. Re
peat this when the fruit has set, and
again about fourteen days after. When
the fruit is nearly gone, spray with the
ammoniacal copper carbonate. Repeat
at intervals of five to seven days, if
necessary. This applies to tho apricots
and nectarines as well as to the peach.
Plums. For the brown rot, spray as
for the peach. For the leaf-blight,
spray when the first leaves have un
folded, using Bordeaux mixture. Spray
again with the same mixture when the
fruit has set. Repeat at intervals of
two or three weeks. Use a. clear fungi
cide after the fruit is three-fourths
grown. For black knot, during the first
warm days of early spring, spray with
Bordeaux mixture. Repeat when the
buds ate swelling and again during the
latter part of May. Repeat again in
June and July. For the curculio. spray
ing is not always effective. Jar the
trees after fruit has set at intervals of
one to three days for two to five weeks.
For the plum scale, spray in autumn
as soon as the leaves have fallen, using
kerosene emulsion diluted four times.
Spray twice in spring with same solu
tion before the buds open. For the San
Jose scale, thorough application of
kerosene emulsion, as under plum
scale, may prove effective, if followed
later in the season by others, diluting
the emulsion to avoid injuring foliage.
Pears. For leaf blight or fruit spots,
use copper solution as the buds are
swelling. Just before the buds open
use Bordeaux mixture. Repeat after
fruit has set, and at intervals of two or
fjrree weeks as seems necessary. For
leaf-blister, use kerosene emulsion be
fore buds swell in the spring, diluting
the emulsion five to seven times. For
psylla, when the leaves have unfolded
in the spring, use kerosene emulsion
diluted fifteen times. Repeat this every
few days till the insects are destroyed.
Cherries. For black knot, spray as
for black knot in plum. For rot, spray
with Bordeaux mixture as soon as the
buds break. Repeat when fruit has set.
and when fruit has grown spray with
ammoniacal copper carbonate. For
the aphis, use kerosene emulsion when
the insects appear, and repeat every
four davs if necessary. For the slug.
when the insect appears, use arsenites,
hellebore, or air-slaked lime. Repeat
every two weeks if necessary. Farm
ers' Review.
Spraying With Arsenites vs. Itee.
The Ohio Experiment station has
made a scries of very careful experi
ments to ascertain the probable effect
on bees of spraying fruit trees when in
bloom with solutions of arsenical
poipons. The results, which will be
published in full in Bulletin 68, now in
the printer's hands, show conclusively
that bees may be killed in large num
bers by such spraying, and as spraying
at that time is never necessary for the
destruction of injurious insects it
should be altogether avoided. The
trees should be sprayed before bloom
ing and as soon as the blossoms hav
all fallen, but never while in bloom.
Not only are bees useful as honey
gatherers, but they are essential to the
fertilization of the flowers. Without
bees we should probably have little or
no fruit.
s
Care in Cultivating Orchards. The
cultivating and manuring of orchards
require a good deal of thought and
temperance. Too much of either may
be had and too little of either is cer
tainly bad. Too much manure and
cultivation may cause such a rapid
development of the tree that it will
vield more readily to adverse circum
stances. Too late cultivation in the
fall may start a new growth of wood
that will not have time to ripen before
growth ceases.
Whitewashing Apple Trees. The
old New England custom of washing
the apple tree trunks with lime is
probably a good one. It is noticed here
and there in the west The trees are
first scraped with a scraper, at leasi
in New England, where scrapers can be
obtained that have been used for scrap
ing the bottoms of ships. The scrap
ing takes off all the loose old bark, re
moving thereby many insects and in
sect eggs. It also makes easy the work
of whitewashing.
Garden Suggestions. High-priced
novelties are generally disappointing.
Set all bush berries in long straight
rows, seven feet apart, and plants
three feet apart in the row. Set
strawberries in rows 3 feet apart
and two feet apart in the row. Long
straight rows are easily cultivated
and kept free from weeds. Extra care
in all details of the garden will increase
size and quality of fruit and stimu
late a love for the work.M. A.

pasting on each package a label on
which shall be printed, besides the
number of the manufactory and the
district and state in which it is situ
ated, these words:
"Notice The manufacturer of the
filled cheese herein contained has com
plied with all the requirements of the
law. Every person is cautioned not to
use either this package again or the
stamp thereon again, nor to remove
the contents of this package without
destroying said stamp, under the pen
alty provided by law in such cases."
Every manufacturer of filled cheese
who neglects to affix such label to any
package containing filled cheese made
by him or sold or offered for sale by
him, and every person who removes
any such label so affixed from any
such package, shall be fined $50 for
each package in respect to which such
offenso is committed.
The bill also provides that in addi
tion to the annual taxes already named
there shall be assessed and collected a
tax of one cent per pound on all filled
cheese manufactured, to be paid by
the manufacturer thereof and any frac
tional part of a pound in a package
shall be taxed as a pound. The tax
levied by this section shall be repre
sented by coupon stamps and the pro
visions of existing laws governing the
engraving, issue, sale, accountability,
effacement and destruction of stamps
relating to tobacco and snuff, as far as
practicable are made to apply to
stamps provided for this purpose.
Whenever any manufacturer of filled
cheese sells or removes for sale or
consumption any filled cheese upon
which the tax is required to be paid
hy stamps without paying such tax, it
becomes the duty of the commissioner
of internal revenue, upon satisfactory
proof, to estimate the amount of tax
whieh has been omitted to be paid and
to make an assessment therefor, and
certify the same to the collector. The
tax so assessed shall be in addition
to the penalties imposed by law for
such sale or removal.
All filled cheese imported from for
eign countries must, in addition to any
import duty imposed upon the same,
pay an internal revenue tax of eight
cents per pound, such tax to be rep
resented by coupon stamps and such
imported filled cheese and the pack
ages containing the same shall be
stamped, marked, and branded, as in
the case of filled cheese manufactured
in the United States.
Any person who knowingly purchas
es or receives for sale any filled cheese
which has not been branded or stamped
according to law, or which is contained
in packages not branded or marked
according to law, shall be liable to a
penalty of $50 for each such offeasc.
Every person who knowingly pur
chases or receives for sale any filled
cheese from any manufacturer or im
porter who has not paid the special
tax herein provided for shall be liable,
for each such offense, to a penalty of
$100, an to a forfeiture of all articles
so purchased or received, or of the full
value thereof.
Hints oa Poultry Raising.
Don't start depending entirely on an
incubator unless you have had ex
perience and also have on hand capi
tal enough to make good the almost
certain loss it would give in the hands
of a beginner. But get a few good hens
warranted early layers and sure set
ters. Procure eggs for hatching from
some reliable dealer who will warrant
them fertile.
As to the breed, I don't know of any
all-round, good general purpose hen
better than the Wyandotte. One can
never sing its praises loud enough.
They are good layers and the chicks
gnow rapidly -and are soon ready for
broilers, which is an important part
of the poultry business. Have your
chicks on the market when other peo
ple's are just hatching.. It is a clear
r;ise of tho "early bird" every time in
poultry raising to get the largest
profit.
(Jive the fowls a snug, well lighted
liaise where neither eggs nor water
will freeze, with a covered run if possi
ble, and feed in the morning a mash
of equal parts, wheat, bran, middlings
ind bailey chop, cooked the night be
fore." At noon give steamed wheat sea
soned with salt and scraps from the
table and occasionally a iittie finely
chopped meat or liver with the nodri
or evening feed, a pound to every twenty-five
hens is about the correct quan
tity. Then at night give corn and
wheat scattered among the chaff or
litter of leaves on the floor or on the
ground outside. A wide range and
plenty of exercise' will do away with the
complaint so many people make of the
large breeds eating more food in .pro
portion than the smaller ones, and not
giving as good results in eggs and so
they will if not properly attended to.
Corn, especially, is a warmth giving
food and for that reason as a winter
night food has no equal.
In large flocks of poultry the utmost
diligence must be exercised in order
to keep them free from vermin and dis
ease, either of which will thin out a
flock in a very short time". A good plan
is to commence with clean premises
and clean them daily. Utmost cleanli
ness should be the watchword of the
poultry man or wdman. Select after
careful consideration, the breed you
like best and can care for best and work
on that line until you can improve on
it. Poultry farming' should, to be suc
cessful, be commenced in a small way;
one can then learn by experience with
out so much loss.
The best results are obtained by
keeping no cocks except for breeding
purposes. Keep one cock, the very best
you can get, to eight or ten hens whose
only business for the time being is to
lay eggs for hatching. If they must be
confined in a yard have it a good gen
erous one and keep them supplied with
fresh grass sod and green cabbage or
other vegetables, and by all means have
their drinking vessels cleaned and
filled with fresh water daily.

Artichoke for lings.
Many years ago I was advised to raise
artichokes for my stock. My first crop
was planted in 1890. The yield picked up
was 1,200 bushels per acre or at that
rate. There were enough to tubers left
in the ground to re-seed it. The plat
has not been planted since and the
ground seems to be full of them. I
keep the field highly manured and plow
and cultivate every year. Last year I
raised nearly 1,200 bushels. It is claimed
by some that after the first year the
hogs get more exercise than artichokes,
and that they soon become a mean
weed, but I do not find it so when prop
erly cultivated and thinned. -Some also
say they are difficult to eradicate. This
I find no hard task. I know of many
that lost all the first year. Two men
that bought seed of the writer and start
ed patches have not one now on ac
count of the sheep breaking into the
patch. Sheep eat off the tops, and no
tops no tubers. I feed them to my brood
sows instead of mill feed. They do
fine with little grain added. All stock
eat them, as do also the poultry. They
mature in the fall when all other vege
tation is at an end, and are ready in
the spring us soon as the frost is out
of the ground. Thawing and freezing
does uot injure them while in the
ground. I do not know of any other
crop that will give so much good food
as will artichokes.

Sliver Wyandotte.
My experience with fowls covers six
years. I now keep the Silver Wyan
dottcs exclusively, and think there is
nothing like them. I have owned the
following varieties: Light Brahma.
Dark Brahma, Buff Cochin, American
Dominique, Indian Games, Silver Pen
ciled Hamburgs, Houdans, Black Lang
shans. all varieties of Leghorns, Ply
mouth Rocks, and varieties of these.
My poultry house is 12x22 feet, and is
lathed and plastered. I feed in tho
morning corn and oats ground, cooked
and fed warm. At noon thoy get only
watcr, and at night whole corn. Our
markets here are very poor, and prices
are very low. I have got eggs every
day this winter. I have been very for
tunate in regard to the health of my
fowls. I believe that if one has the
right kind of a house and feeds proper
food, his fowls will keep well. I have
doctored some, and have cured fowls
of roup and of canker mouth. C. II.

Foreign OUcrimlnntion.
The acts of foreign nations discrimi
nating against our meats alive and
dead, arc likely to lead to retaliatory
measures by Congress. Already some
of the most prominent members of that
body arc considering the matter. For
three or more years our exports of beef
cattle have been falling off. In 1S93 we
exported cattle to the number of 387,091,
the next year it had fallen to 359,278,
and last year to 331.722. The money
value also dropped, being in round num
bers $35,000,000 for 1S93, $33,000,000 for
1894 and $30,000,000 for last year. This
is a most important matter. If foreign
nations are to have access to our ports
there is no reason why our goods should
not have access to their ports. There
is a secret war being waged on Amer
ican stock products, but the Americans
arc able to enforce fair treatment of
their own goods.
Iloudans.
We keep Houdans. We find no profit
in chickens for market, but do find a
profit in the eggs. For winter quarters
they have a common house, 14x20 feet,
facing the south. They arc fed whole
corn, but have the run of the feed lots
in the summer, where they have ac
cess to oats and rye. We get a fair
amount of eggs in the winter. We
have lost a great many from cholera.
Boiled poke root mixed with the food
of the hens is the only remedy we have
ever discovered that will do any good.
We have also kept Hamburgs and" think
they are very good for eggs. Houdans
are good for eggs and they also ma
ture early. M. S. Brackctt

Cheap Irrigation. According to the
report of the Kankakee insane asylum,
irrigation is carried on there to a large
extent and the water is supplied at
very small cost. The figures as given
are $3 per million gallons, or 3-10 cents
per 1,000 gallons. The usual price of
pumping water for city and town sup
ply is very much greater. Some of
our towns charge 10 cents per thou
sand gallons and think the charge
small, but here is an estimate of 3 per
cent of the usual amount. It would be
interesting to know what items the au
thorities at Kankakee enumerate when
they rate the cost of water at the
amount stated.
A German woman, a drunkard and a
thief, born in 1740. has had 834 known
descendants up to date, according to
Professor Pellmaun, of Bonn, who has
been able to trace the career of 709 of
them. Of these 106 were born out of
wedlock. 20S were professional beggars,
181 prostitutes. 7G (including seven
murderers) got into jail. In seventy
five years these persons have cost the
state more than 5,000,000 marks.
The Fataaer aad Mate.
An ill tempered fanner one day had
a quarrel with his wife. He was afraid
to assault her, because she was a aew
woman and had studied the are of self
defense, so he went to the .bars and
started a quarrel with his mule. That
poor beast did not know what it was
all about, but he kept his eyes open.
Soon the farmer, having worked him
self into a frenzy, approached the mule
from behind with a view of kicking the
patient animal. Then the mule reach
ed out his left foot, and ten seconds
later the new woman was a widow.
