Bellefonte, Pa., September 13, 1889. Farm Notes. In addition to growing rapidly trees | set in the!poultry-yard are not only healthy but add to the comfort of poul- try in affording good shade. It costs no more to feed and raise the best than it does the poorest, while the difference in the quality will make a considerable difference ifi the profit. In growing vegetables of any sort for shipping to market it is always a good rule to plant largely of those with which the market was overstock- ed the last season, and less largely of those which then ruled highest in price. A correspondent of the Live Stock Lidicator says: “I can invest $1000 in sheep and burn every pound of woo! produced for five years and make more clear money than can be made on cai. tle, horses or hogs in the same length of time.” The Rural New Yorker has been ask- ing a number of experts about the nni- formity of cream, and has elicited re- plies to the effect that there is as much difference in samples of cream as in the cows and the milk from whichjthe samples come. Although poultry-breeding is rank- ed among the small beginnings in corn- mercial circles, still, like other pursuits it requires common sense and good masagement, and to be kept within the limits of the ability and facilities of him who embarks in 1t. The effect of damp ground and stag- nant water on fowls, especially on voung turkeys, is well known. Fatal * diseases follow as inevitably in those cases as with human exposure to miasmatic exhalations. A dry gravel ly spot is absolutely necessary to health- tul conditions. The editor of American Bee Journal says: A good queen lays the eggs in regular order, and one in a cell. “The presence of four or five eggs in a cell suggests that either the qneen is a poor one (or drone-layer, asshe is sometimes called), or that the hive contains lay- ing workers. A calf bornin fall or winter is worth two born iu the spring for profit. A spring calf is soyoung that it gets litlle good from pasture the first season, ‘or by the time it can fight flies success- tully and crop grass enough to really ail in nourishing it, winter is at hand and it is placed on dry food. It is usually contended when a swarm once deserts a hive iv is useless to put them back in the same hive in the same place. But the experience of C. H. Dibbem has been different; insev- eral instances this year he has return- ed swarms to the same hives, and they have generally remained. So far as possible the farm ought to supply all the feed necessary to keep the stock and to fatten for market, and the number of stock that can be kept will depend largely upon the way the iood is supplied, and the value of the mannre will also largely depend upon the same conditions. As the summer goes on select yuor best birds to keep or sell as breeding stock. Put by, also, the strongest, quickest growing ones of the others for roasting chickens, to be sold late in the winter. Then sell the rest as fast as they are big enough, before the market get their autumn overstocking, In Tioga county, N.Y., Hungarian grass is largely grown as a summer food for cows and a supplementary hay crop. It is considered more succulent than millet, and cows eat it better. It is thought better for producing milk than timothy hay, as cows will increase in milk on going from timothy to Hun- garian hay. A fruit-grower reports that, having an orchard of young trees badly infest- ed with bark lice, he made a soluuion of sal soda—unalt a pound to a gallon of water—and applied it with a white- wash brush. In a week's time they were all dead and washed off. The trees grew two feet a year afterward, and remained very healthy. Never whip a horse when he is frightened or nervous, or try to force it up to the object that has caused the alarm; draw in on the reins, suddenly speak out with assurance that you are not afraid, then turn the animal a little way from che unpleasant sight and bid it go. A blow of a whip upon a frightened horse gives it doable cause tor violent action. “Many of the dairy authorities,” says the Rural New Yorker, “advise the growing of parsnips asa food for butter cows. Many ecliam that this root is better than the carrot as a but- ter-producing food, It is frequently said that large quantities of parsnips are grown on the island of Jersey. Have any of our American dairymen ever grown the root on a large scale?” The sterility of many soils is due more to their mechanical condition, their texture and relations to heat or noisture, than to lack of plant food. Such soils want amendment first and manure | afterward. Some soil will givegood returns for manuring ; others without irrigation or amendment by draining, tilla e, the use of lime, marl or muck, ete, will not. A Tennessee farmer sold the proceeds of twenty-six sheep for $230, or nearly 89 per sheep. Of this sum only $55 was from wool, the mutton and lamb bringing $175. This shows thatsheep will pay without producing a single pound of wool, and that the farmers should turn their attention to the mut- ton breed rather than to merinos. The mistake made by some farmers is that of raising sheep for wool principally, instead of for mutton, lamb and wool. A flagstone floor with cemented joints is best for the dairy. Wooden floors are apt to rot out, and brick floors absorb thespilled milk, soon be- coming very offensive. If bricks are used the floor should be kept painted all the time, and even with this extra trouble it is not so good as flagstone and cement. The flagstone underground (is always easily kept cool, as a dairy floor should be. To attempt to improve scrub stock by selecting and breeding is poor econ- omy. You can purchase improved stock and secure the benefit of the work of others cheaper than you can do the same works yourself. Good grades are desired, but they should be females. Never nse a grade male for breeding purpose. The only way to improve the stock cheaply is to infuse new blood by procuring thoroughbred males. A correspondent who has used stable manure freely on young peach, pear and apple trees (which made four feet growth this season)complains of no fruit, and desires to know the kind of mineral fertilizer to use. The fact thatthe trees have made such excellent growth indicate their thrift. They only need age to bring them into bearing. A pound of bone dust, with half a peck of wood ashes, applied next spring over the ground around each tree, will be sufficient. Cease the use of stable manure until the trees begin to bear well. Aim to supply the market with some thing that is not usually provided in sufficiency. It is not economical to grow the crops that demand the least labor. It is the labor that gives value to all crops, and the best profits are made on those crops that require con- stant attention and frequent cultivation. An acre of asparagus or celery will pay a larger profit than ten acres of corn ; but less labor may be raquireq on the corn. It matters not what the expense of making a crop may be ifthe crop sell at a price correspondingly. Tt happens sometimes that an easily cul- tivated crop does not give any profit at all. Completion of an Important American Enterprise. It is about one hundred years since the first edition of the Encyclopedia Brittannica appeared. Its earlier cir- culation in this country was very small not 2,000 sets of any of its first eight edi- tions having been sold here. Very nat- uially it was not looked upon as a work fo American scholars, and, in its prep- aration, very little regard was paid to things especially American. The Ninth Edition began upon the same basis, but, about the time its tenth volume was issued, American enterprise undertook its sale in America on the sib- scription plan, and there has, already, been placed 100,000 sets, greatly exceed- ing its sale in England. With this great sale came the wide-spread discov- ery of the entirely ‘too British”’ charac- ter ot the Brittannica for American stu- dents, and hence rose the demand for an American, Supplement, which would complete for American scholars the greatest of all Encyclopwdias. It was therefore undertaken, about seven years since, and has been completed. PLAN OF ITS ISSUE. 1st. The employment of emirent American expert authorities, to examine each subject treated in the Brittannica by English writers. 2d. To supplement every article of the Britannica requiring it, with infor- mation important te American sabscri- bers. 3d. To treat subjects of recent de- velopment (aot treated in the Britan- nica) which invention, aiscovery, or sci- entific progress made such treatment im- portant. 4th. To treat of living men of emi- nence, such as Gladstone, Bismarck, Stanley, Edison, Blaine, ete., because biography of no living men is admitted in the Britannica, Itis worthy of notice that, while the Britannica is not subject to the protec- tion of an american copyright, and is therefore issued here in various editions, this American supplement (designed to Americanize the Britannica)is necessa- rily an American enterprise, is copy- righted, and is issued in volumes exact- ly to match the various editions of the Britannica ; and while costing more than double per volume for its issue is supplied at the same price as the B#ri- tannica. This work has required years of labor in its prepartion, and has received the most emphatic indorsement of the Amer- ican and European Press, and of emi- nent scholars, from which we quote a few. The New York Herald says :--The AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT to the Bri- tannica seems to be all that is necessa- ru to round out and complete the En- ¢lish work: ~The New York Observer says :-—The AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT is worthy of a place by the side of the great Encyclo- peedia, The Boston Herald says :—There has been a great demand that the Ewncyelo- padia Britannica shouldbe supplegen- ted. The plan follov ed in this SUPPLE- MENT has been broad and intelligent. Every American who has a copy of the Britannica must have the present work also. Appr CustArRD Pre.—Take three large sour apples and pare, core and slice them ; line a deep pie plate with rich crust, then a layer of sliced apples and sprinkle over them a layer of sugar then another layer of apples and more sugar, and so on until the dish is as full as you wish it; then half a nutmeg over them and add cone teaspoonful of but. ter. Lastly, pour over all three table- spoontuls of rich, sweet cream and three of water. Bake in an even oven. Tar Curesr Lrrrig THINGS,— “Cute”! he echoed. “Well, I don’t know as the adjective would have oc- curred to me in just that connection. But if you mean that they do their work thoroughly, vet make no fuss about it; cause no pain or weakness ;and, in short are everything that a pill ought to be, and nothing that it ought not, then 1 agree that Pierce's Pleasant Purgative i Pellets are about the entest little things 01 ! going! Tue Lapis’ FavoriTe.—The new- est fashion in ladies’ hats will doubtless cause a flutter of pleasurable excitement among the tair sex. Ladies are always susceptible to the changes of a fashion plate ; and the more startling the depar- ture, the more earnest the gossip over the new mode. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a positive cure for the ills which afflict females and make their lives miserable. This sovereign panacea can be relied on in cases of displacements and all functional derangements. It builds up the od haggard and dragged out victim and gives her renewed hope and a fresh lease of life. It is the only medicine for woman's peculiar weakness and ailments, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the manufac- turers that it will give satisfaction in every case or money refunded.

A plain but very good pudding is made by mixing together one pint of bread-crumbs grated and rolled, and a full cup of grated fresh cocoanut, or des- sicated cocoanut, if more convenient. Pour over it boiling one and a half pints of milk which has come slowly to a boil in a teakettle boiler, with two table- spoonful of butter ; flavor as preferred ; pour into a pudding-dish buttered and lined thickly with bread-cumbs. Bake a delicate brown: Facts WortH K~NowiNg.—In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irritating. The medical profession has been slow to learn this Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, pow- ders or syrin ges because they are all irri- tating, do not thoroughly reach the af- fected surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than failures. A multitude of persons who had for years borne all the worry and pain that estarrh can inflict testify to radical cures wrought by Ely's Cream Balm. —A Florida paper thus tells how a snakebitten horse was cured. “About two weeks ago J. W. Gerald’s mare was bitten by a snake in his grove, on Lake Harris, supposed to have been a moc- casin. The mare had spasm, and the first night after being bitten charged all over the grove on a dead run. She then swelled until her hide was as tightas a drum-head. Mr. Gerald tried three re- medies, and cured her; a strong hot salt bath drenched with tobacco tea, and with a tea made from the moss which grows on the north side of forest trees. The mare was sick 12 days.” —Vigor and Vitality are quickly given by Hood's Sarsaparilla. That tir- ed feeling is entirely overcome. The blood is purified, enriched, and vitaliz- ed, and carries health instead of disease to every organ. The stomach is toned and strengthened, the appetite restored. The kidneys and liver are roused and invigorated. The brain is refreshed, the mind made clear and ready for work. Try it. Business Notices. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
