Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 6, 1889. Farm Notes. Close confinement and high living is generally the cause of stunts in pigs; a change of treatment is about the best remedy to apply. The farmer ought to have the very best meat for his own table. Good breed good feed and care will supply this at a lower cost than it can be purchased. After a shower is a good time to go through the corn field and see if you can find any strong, big weeds that were skipped when cultivating. If you find any pull them out. Horticulture is nothing more than intensive agriculture. Cultivating the soil and rrising fruits was probably the first occupation our ancestors had anything to do with. It is a wild claim to make for any breed that they lay the largest, richest, the most and best eggs. Each breed has good merits, but none can really make and hold this claim. If a sow is well matured before be- ing bred she will not only prove a bet- ter breeder but will bring a much bet- ter quality of pigs, for early breeding of the sows causes weakness in the pigs. To make a corn-crib rat and mouse proof line it throughout, overhead and all, with wire-cloth, having meshes so small that these rodents cannot enter. This does not impede the air circula- tion. Gypsum, when pure, is useful to many crops, as is well known, but es- pecially to clove, corn, oats, grass, cabbage turrips, ete. About 100 pounds per acre are usually applied. early in the spring. Feed the poultry all they will eat a tew days before they are marketed. This is applicable to all kinds. Munch of the poultry sent to market is not in condition to be of the best quality. They need fattening. Quick growth and early maturity can only be secured by having good breeding stock as a foundation, and then giving good feed and care to build upon. And when mating the breeding stock for spring pigs it is important to see that good stock is selected. If you have a fruit tree that is not hearing as it should, stir the soil well and.apply a dressing of rotten manure. If, in a few days after, a dressing of wood ashes can be pvt on it will make ite wuerbetter. Prune well, especial- ly when cutting out all the old, des- eased wood. If corn fodder is ent and steamed, or moistened with boiling water, it will be found an excellent and agreeable change of diet for the cows. Cows that are given a variety of food "occa- sionally will always keep in better con- dition than those that are fed on a sameness of diet continually. A Michigan man who has 200 hick- ory-nut trees and about 300 walnut and butternut trees says that his income from them, year by year, is larger than that of any farmer cultivating 300 acres of land. He sells his crop on the trees for cash in hand, and the only expense out is for taxes. In a majority of cases, it rarely pays to attempt to cure a hen that has a len into the habit of eating eggs, and for the reason that she is almost cer- tain to learn others the same trick, of- It is well for the farmer to study the character of the weeds that grow upon their habits he cannot successfully fieht them. Each section of country has its weeds which are injurious to farm crops, and these weeds commonly differ in different localities, though some of them appear to be common to all. In weed destruction there is need of associated effort in every com- munity in order to accomplish any- thing. If a calf is at all dainty about its feed do not keep it for a cow. No pedi- gree can offset the disadvantage of poor appetite and poorer digestion. (iiving the caif as great a variety of food as possible is the best plan we know of to make it a hearty eater. The greater the variety the more food can be eaten, and this, if continued, means increased digestive powers, on which in any animal, man not except- ed, future usefulness must depend. The grape is a warm-country fruit, and should be set out where it may be exposed to the rays of the sun all the day long. Grapes generally do quite well on the easternly or westernly side of a building, but a southernly exposure is better. The soil should be dry and warm, whether it be sand, eravel or clay. While, like all other plants, the vine takes its food in solution, it will flourish in a drier soil than any other plant, and it wiil never succeed where there is not good dainage. Oxen areserviceable on large farms, and also in those sections where the roads are nearly impassable in winter, as they can travel where a horse can- not venture. They can be bred for the purpose desired by judicious selection of the best breeds for producing quick- draught oxen, the Devon breed being superior to any other. A Devon ox will bear the‘heat well, travel at a rapid gait and endure fatigue. A cross of the Devon with large native stock also produce excellent oxen, if the male calves are retained for that purpose. A correspondent asks a remedy for the prevention and cure of distemper in pigs. Distemper is a disease that seldom attacks pigs. The difficulty is probably due to dampness in the quar- ters, being a cold. Give each pig a pint of linseed meal daily in the food, the food slightly salted. On the bot- tom of the water-trough pour a gill of wood tar. Keep the quarters dry and avoid draughts of air on the swine. If the difficuty is severe give a teaspoon- ful of tar by forcing it in the mouth. BLACKBERRY SHORTCAKE.—Mix into haif a pound of self-raising flour a quar- ter of a pound of butter or lard. Add by degrees about half a pint of cold, boiled milk. Mix all up with a knife, and as quickly as possible. Turn the paste on to a floured board or table, dredge the past with flour, roll it out to the thickness of half an inch, and cut it in round pieces thesize of a large tea- plate. This may be done by laying a plate over the paste and cutting round it. Lay the cake on a floured baking tin and bake until done-—about half an hour. When done, slip a knife around the edge, and separate the cakein two by pulling it apart—cutting it with a knife would make the paste heavy. Spread on one half-ripe: blackberries, crushed or not as wished. Sprinkle ov- er the fruit plenty of pounded sugar, lay on the top cover, and spread a layer of berries on it. Serve with cream or pile a layer of whipped cream: on the top. Praca GELATINE.—Press half a can of peaches or apricots through a colan- his farm, for without a knowledge of ‘1 cured. Cucumber Prokres.—To make the best that w ll keep fresh and crisp the longest, is what overy housekeeper de- sires to know this time of year. I have made pickles from this recipe for twen- ty years, and never had a failure; have eight thousand some years. They will be as fresh and brittle in a year from the time of making as when first made. Se- lecting cucumbers from two or three inches long, cet them as fresh picked as possible. 1 prepare 500 at a time. Rub them dry and smooth with a cloth —be sure all the black specks are off— put them into a stone jar, sprinkle over them a scant cupful and a half of dry salt, then cover them with boiling wa- ter; let them stand until next morning, then take out the cucumbers, drain them in a colander, rinse out the jar and return the cucumbers, putting the same amount of dry salt over them and cover them with boiling water again; let them stand another day. The third morning scald this brine and pour it over again. Repeat this for seven mornings. The eighth morning rinse the pickles well in cold water and cover them with half vinegar and half water, boiling hot. Let them stand one day. Take the same amount of good cider vinegar as you have had of vinegar and water; add two onions sliced thin, a scant teaspoonful of small, red peppers(the same as for pepper-sause) a piece of alum the size of a walnut, a cup of stick cinnamon broken fine, one and a half pint of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of cloves. Steep well, and let it just come to a boiling heat ; pour over your pickles, and the deed is done. Keep in a cool place, where they will not freeze. More or less spices can be used, as one likes. AN InvporTANT ELEMENT.--Of the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla is the fact that every purchaser receives a fair equivalent for his money. The familiar headline “#100 Doses One Dollar,” stolen by imitators, is original with and true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla. This can easily be proven by any one who desires to test the matter. For real economy, buy only Hood's Sarsaparilla. Sold by all druggists. Tue Latest STYLE.—Cohen—“You don’d like dhose pants?

Ithardly pays to run the risk. The best points of a dairy cow can be seen when the cows are at their best, and then is the time to make vour selection, because in the agoregate the farm stock has paid should not be satisfactory. It is important to know not only which kinds of stock but also which animals pay the largest per cent. of profit. Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds of exhausted soil. The trees will make a growth of leaves on poor land, but they require mineral manure to perfect the fruit. Land that has been «too rough for plowing may yet have spaces between the roeks where fruit trees will thrive, and is better than land that has been exhaust- ed by long cropping. A soil containing free lime, potash or magnesia is in condition to form GOOD RECORD.
