Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 20, 1889. Farm Notes. A Matamora (Mich.) breeder re- cently sheared a ram that clipped 38} pounds. The Sheriff at White Oaks, N, M., sold 1700 sheep for taxes. They be- longed to a. Mexican named Quinino Masse. Twenty-five cents per head was the price paid. : The seed of sorghum. makes good feed for chickens in winter. In some places where it is grown largely it is preferred for this use to corn. Ripen- ing the seed sufficiently to save it rather increases the product of sweet, thus making a crop of seed and an- other of sweetness from the same growth. : Pick the tomatoes as fast as they ripen—this will hasten the maturity and ripening of the crop. Pick off all imperfect and spotted specimens as yon come across them. More time is spent and poorer re- sult obtained if work is not done at the proper time. To no work does this ap- ply more truly than that done in the garden or on the farm. The first Arbor day was observed in Nebraskaseventeen years ago, when 12,- 000,000 trees were planted. There are now growing in the State 600,000,000 trees, In other States many millions of trees have been planted. The Cornell Experimental Station concludes that an undue proportion of non-nitrogenous food fed to sheep de- creases the production of wool one- quarter, the strength of the bone one- third, and reduces both the fav and lean. As ‘milk is an animal secretion manufactured by the cow,it must be evi- dent that anything which worries, frets or torments the cow, or renders her uneasy or uncomfortable, will certainly lessen the quantity and affect the com- position of her mils. What are called sour apples are really sweet, . though their tartness hides the saccharine properties they contain, Some of the richest sour apples, as the Russet, make very strong vinegar, which they could not do it they did not contain a good deal of sweetness. Many dairymen are too ready to dispose of a good bull before Le gets “too old.” ' The fact is, as the expe- rience of many have proven that a good dairy bull in a dairy herd of cows should be kept until he fails or at least shows signs of failing, and this often is not until he nears the age of 20. Poultry is everywhere the best meat for summer eating, and especially so for farmers who cannot always get fresh. meat of other kinds. Old hens past the age of profit will usually be found better eating than the half grown chickens of this year's growth, unless the latter are of ‘the breed for broilers, : The younger hog is converted into a more edible product, commands a bet- ter price, is generally ready for a bet ter market, gives quicker returns and requires less attendance. He can be fed when on pasture, the droppings are not wasted, and food is not expend- ed in keeping up animal heat during the entire winter, Thoroughly aired milk will keep much longer than ice-cooled milk, for as soon as the influence of the ice is removed and the temperature goes up the germs that produce lactic acid manifest. themselves at once and the milk’ sours very quickly; and even when milk is cooled it should first be given a thorough aeration. Mr. J. W. Street, of Mulberry, Tenn., in Southern Cultivation, gives the fol- lowing asa good remedy tor lice on hogs: A gallon of coal-oil, gallon of lard or old grease of any kind, and one pint of pine tar, all well mixed and ap- plied with 2 mop, apply in the ears first to prevent them running from the body into the ears. No sheep-breeder or wool-grower having any experience will attempt the improvement of his tlock with a cross-bred ram or a grade, no matter how good an individual he may be. This has been proved in every depart: ment of the breeding business, and is too well known to be disputed by any one conversant with the facts of exper- ience. A farmer living near Kelso, Dak. killed three of his most valuable horses last week. He thought they needed a litle physie, so he put a’ twitch on their noses, took a long-neck- ed bottle and forced down a Ifrge dose of linseed oil. The oil went down wrong and landed in their lungs, caus ing inflammation of those organs. Potato vines contain a large amount of potash, and a writer advises for that reason to compost them with manure, But a better way is to leave them even- ly on the ground and plow them in. If dug by hand then bury the tops as vou dig. This is cheaper and easier than to draw thew in, compost them and draw them out again, ail of which adds nothing to their value, as they quickly decay when buried. Ensilage has heen tested for sheep, and stands approved, especially for the mutton breeds, where early lambs are a desideratum, But it is advisable to give a portion of dry feed with the en- silage, as it has a tendency, if given alone, to make the animals soft and sensitive to cold weather ; and, besides that, it is quite possible to make the large free’ milkers ‘of the Cotswold breed give too much milk at the out- set, Professor Sheldon, one of the great agricultural college authorities, now comes forward to disturb our ¢ld faith in the value of hauling manure to the field as fast as it is made. Ie says it should only be handled in the spring— otherwise the loss of mauure is sure to be very great, the waste in the course of six months amounting to fally one- half the gross manure and nearly 40 per cent. of the nitrogen which it con- tains. 1 An attendant at one of the Wiscon- sin farmers’ clubs told how he cures clover hay. He cuts it in the morn- ing after the dew is off, turns it' ‘over at noon, puts it in cocks in the after- noon, and covers it with hay’ caps made of cotton cloth one and a half or two yards square. These caps are spread over the clover and the corners fastened to the ground by means of wooden pegs. In this condition it is left for three or four days, when, by the airing it gets in hauling, it is in fine condition for hay, keeps well and is free from dust. A ram sheared by Mr. Turner, Ul: ceby, England, gave a fleece of 30} pounds. Oar ‘foreign contemporary, Sheep and Wool, speaks of this as pro- bably the heaviest clean fleece on’ re- cord. Oar British Isle friends have evidently never heard of our heavy American fleeces, scores of which have weighed from 30 to 52 pounds—the lat- ter being the heaviest on record for a year’s growth. We wonder what our English sheep;breeders think of the ewe record made this year—30 pounds in 360 days growth. : Professor E. W. Stewart, in the Country Gentleman, tells how to put flesh on either a poor or an old ani- mal: “Cut clover hay short, say one- half’ inch, take cheap molasses and dissolve one pint in one gallon of water and sprinkle this upon three pounds of the cut clover with two pounds of buckwheat flour and two pounds of wheat bran. Feed this amount to, each horse or animal three times a day, commencing with a little less per day for two days.” The professor says he put 100 pounds additional weight upon a horse thin in flesh in thirty days by feeding him said ration. | ——— How to Cook a Steak. Now if you only knew how to cook a steak tomakeit good, that would do, but it always ‘makes me sick to see a woman cook a steak. She invariably puts her frying-pan on the stove, and puts in a chunk of grease about as big as my fist, and when it is hot enough to begin to crackle she puts in her beef, and never thinks of coverin _ it. The smoke and steam from it goes to the very ceiling. After she cooks it this way until begins to look like an old rubber shoe sole she calls it done. When you go to eat it there is no more taste in it than a chip. Now, if you want a good bit of steak have a clear, hot fire, set your clean, empty pan on a spot, cover it up, then pound your steak, and when your pan is very hot lay in your steak, and cover quickly. As soon as it has crisped enough to let go its hold on the pan, turn over and cover quickly: turn again as at first, and continue to do so about every two minutes until you have turned it six or eight times. Have ‘a hot buttered dish ready for it and lay it in, add a sprinkling of pepper, salt and sugar, and cover tightly. Now, if you wish a gravy, put a bit of butter in your pan. When hot, rub in a pinch of flour, add asmall teacupful of boiling water, let it boil a few minutes, then put in a gravy boat instead of putting it over your beef to draw out the juice. Now try this plan just once, and you will see you women know nothing about cook- ing a good steak.—dAn Old Batchelor. “Wao age You ?! Sain Tugy.— Oliver Hampton Smith was elected Sen- ator from Indiana in 1836. When the election was over Smith, who was a good lawyer and had been in Congress eight or ten years before, took a drove of hogs down to Cincinnati, going on foot all the way.

What General Whittlesey Asked the Tart Tennesseean. General O. O. Howard relates that when he was marching down through Tennessee General Whittlesey, late Assistant Adjutant General on his staff. Whittlesey had been a clergyman down in Maine, and was fully as strait-laced as Howard. One day Howard drove into a farm-yard from which Whittlesey was just departing. A woman and her grown daughter were standing outside the door. “My good woman,” said Howard, “will you kindly give we a drink of water?” i “No; getout.of my yard. A lot of more impident Yankees I never seed.” “But have done nothing and said nothing out of the way, and will severe- ly punish any of my soldiers who would say or do anything wrong.’ “That soger insulted me,’ said she, pointing to the retreating form of Gen- eral ‘Whittlesey. ‘He axed me fora drink of water, and when I done give it to him he sassed me.” 1 i ' “But—but that is General Whittlesey, of my staff. I am sure he wouldn't be rude to any woman.” “Maw,” said the girl, pulling her mother’sdress, “I reckon he moughtn’t have meant anything misbeholden.”’ “Hush; don’t I know low-down blackguard talk when I hears it?
