et Tewocattic late ~ Bellefonte, Pa., October 4, 1889. | Farm Notes. Twenty-one million cows in the United States yield 7,350,000,000 gal- long of milk, 6,500,000 pounds of] cheese and 1,350,000,000 pounds of | butter. ; Dakota has no mercy on the man who allows foul weeds to grow on his ! premises, He lis promptly fined by a Supervisor, who in turn is fined if he | fails fo do his duty. ave no more land than you can | cultivate. If five acres are all that | you can do justice to confine your selt | to that; if you can care for 100 acres | then own that much; but don’t have | a quantity of land lying idle. One of the finest apple orchards ever seen was mulched every three or four years six inches deep with salt-mea- dow hay. The hens were turned in periodically to give it a thorough scratching over. Suit was brought in England against a man for sawing the horns from his stock, and the case was carried to the Queen's Boneh, where the act was pronounced illegal, and Chief Justice Coleridge called it detestably brutal. The Rural New Yorker has been asking a number of experts about the uniformity of cream, and has elicited replies to the! effect that there is as much difference in samples of cream ag in the cows or and the milk from which the samples come. It is the duty of every farmer, the Auburn (N.Y. ) Gazette claims, to keep one horse that is safe for the women- folks to handle. If farmers would teach their wives and daughters how to manage a horse there would not be £0 many accidents, Professor Thomas Shaw maintains that product of special crops for soil- ing stock effects a saving in land to the extent of enabling the farmer with about fifty acres to raise more beef, mutton, milk butter or cheese than the one with 100 acres who pays no atten- | tion to growth of green fodders. Examination at the Deleware Exper- iment Station of moderately pure elo- verseed, with but a trifle more than 1 per cent. of impurity by weight, show- ed that it contained the seeds of plan- tain, ragweed, smartweed and foxtail grass in sufficient quantity to put one seed every foot in drills fifteen inches apart if the cloverseed were sown eight pounds to the acre. Be sure to take from the udder every drop of milk the cow gives. Nature responds to demand. If you do not de- mand the milk she will shrink the mess accordingly. She will not work for nothing. Call on her for every drop and she will keep up the flow. She is generous to our needs when ra- tionly manifested, but quick to take advantage of our neglect. Milk clean. A recent writer, who keeps about fifty hens, claims that he had poor suc- cess the past winter in getting eggs, but is convinced that the fault was in his not giving the hens proper care. He has kept an exact account for two years past, and until this last winter he had cleared a net profit of $1.50 per hen each year. He packed his eggs in salt, however, and kept them until the market price reached a high point. The Ohio Poultry Journal tells us that fowls do not moult alike, nor do they moult at the same time annually; the usual season, however, is from June to September, while in some cases it runs to Christmas. Young and healthy fowls, fed largely on nitrogen- ous food, moult early in the season; old and debilitated hens moult late. Hens must|have some of the material for making rich blood and feathers before thev shed their old feathers. It is a remarkable fact that a farm- er who produces a large or unusually profitable crop, or one that has been unusually successful, you will find that he commenced farming with a small farm and only increased its size as his means increased and only as he could give the same care and attention to the additional acres that he formerly gave to the original. Small farms, as a rule, pay better than large ones. The reason of a cow giviag bloody milk is some injury to the udder, gen- erally from bruising or being chased by boys or dogs. The udder, when full of milk, is bruised by the legs or com- ing in contact with brush or briars, by being bitten by dogs, parties throwing stones and injuring the udder. In fact is the result of an injury of some kind. It generally yields readily to treatment. Keep the animal quiet in a stable orsmall pasture for a few days and bathe the udder well twice a day with hot water. Take good care of the young pigs immediately after weaning, is the ad- | vice of the Orange County Farmer. Separate them from the sow, and see | that they have sweet milk for a few | days. Do not fill the trough in the morning enough to do all day. give ouly what will be eaten up clean, and | if any is left clean it out before giving | a fresh snppy. Feed four or five times | a day for a fortnight or so. It should be remembered that wheat middlings mixed with milk make a inost excel- lent feed for pigs. I don’t know, but I think that if skimmed milk is fed to the hens in- | stead of the pigs it would yield a great- er profit. Our hens get noihing to | drink but milk, and they lay right | straight along. One advantage in but- | ter over milk dairying is that the skimmed milk and buttermilk are left for use on the farm. Another advan- tage is that in selling off butter you | carry off none of the farm's fertility, whereas in selling milk you do. Still another advantage is that you do not have to go to market so often. Horses and wagons cost money. A neighbor ii | road and one at the shop.” of mine sold milk and kept two wagons; as he put it, “he had one wagon on the One of the best and most useful | foods for general purpose for the farm- er to have on hand is linseed meal. For rearing calves it is not excelled, when mixed with skimmed milk, and | it comes into frequent play as a con- stituent of the food of almost all of our domestic animals. It contains about 20 per cent.of albuminoids or nitrogen- | ous matter, with about 19 per cent. of | carohydrates. Those who have never used it will do well to give it a trial. i Once introduced on the farm, the farm- er will seldom do without it. Operations of Lightning, All those who suffer from fright dur- ing thunder storm should regard the lot | of an English woman living in a large town as peculiarly enviable, for, acord- ing to Mr. Marriott, the Secretary to of the Royal Meteorological Society, these are the beings who of all are most exempt from the danger of being struck by lightning. Mr. Marriott tells us that on an average less than one person in a million is annually killed by light- ning in England, while in France near- ly two, in Prussia nearly four and in Russia and Switzerland more than five out of every million perish thus annual- ly. The returns also show that of those who die in this manner in England 81 per cent. are males and only 19 per cent. females, the striking difference, no doubt, being attributed to the greater number of males engaged in outdoor occupations. Deaths from lightning are also much rarer in towns than in the country. The many lightning rods and high buildings serve to diffuse the elec- tricity. The Eiffel Tower is said of itself to form a perfect electrical conduc- tor, and in the case of one very black thunder cloud which passed over Paris and was observed to emit constant flash- es, the lightning stopped as soon as it came within the influence of the tower, and recommenced when it had passed beyond.— New York Star. A Minister on a Spree, Prinapernpnra, Sept. 22.—The ex- perience in this city of Rev. David Dunlap, who until recently had a pas- torate at Wheatland, Illinois, is not likely to be soon forgotten by him. He reached here a few days ago, and while sight-seeing he managed to get intox- icated. In some unaccountable man- ner helost the checks for his two trunks which were being cared for by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Company. When the reverend gentleman so- bered on Friday he found that his trunks had been redeemed by some un- known person who presented the checks. In his quandary he visited Chief of De- tectives Wood and made a clean breast of his predicament. He still sighs for his trunks. The Senator Indentified Himself. Oliver Hampton Smith was elected Senator from Indianna 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 of the way. On the way he arrived at a tavern, covered with mud, unwash- ed, and unshaven for many days. The crowd surrounded him, eager for news of theelection. “Who's Senator? Hen- dricks? “No.” | “Noble?! «No * “Who, then?’ “I am.” There wasa dead silence for a moment, and then one asked, “Who are you?” A stump speech, delivered with all the mud still clinging to his face and clothes, was necessary to convince them of his right to the title of Senator in the Congress of the United States.— Argonaut. ——— ——The county commissioners’ con: vention at Allentown on Wednesday, agreed to urge the legislature to pass laws providing for the revision of the present road law ; that corporations be taxed on an equality with real estate: that district atorneys be paid a salary based on the population, and that such portions of the act of 1887 providing for the regulation of the national guard as conflict with other laws he repealed. Giles D. Price, ot Erie, was elected a member of the committee on the revi- siion of the tax laws of Pennsylvania. Williamsport was selected as the place for holding the next annual conven- tion. Wayne county, N. Y., raises more peppermint than any other place in the country. The business of raising it and distilling the oil was begun by a Yankee peddler 50 years ago. The farmers of that county cultivate the mint, and 150,000 pounds of oil is now | distilled from their crop in favorable sea- sons. The peppermint crop is not one that returns a fancy profit to the farmer, but if he can get $2 a pound for his oil, below which the price seldom, if ever, goes, herealizes a good return. Twenty- five ponnds of oil to the acre is the low- est general average of the crop. It is not an uncommon thing for the oil to | command $3 a pound, and the price has been as high as $5. ——The Loudon Telephone, one of the largest and most influential news- | papers in Virginia, has come out against Mahone. Itdeclares that he is personally nufit to be Governor, and that the Convention which nominated him was simply a Mahone ratification meeting, : the court of Appeals, all Republicans, I are opposed to the eiection of Malone, and the revolt among Republicas of prominence in the State is steadily ! growing. It StaNDps AroxNe.—There are many blood medicines advertised, but only ore that is backed up by its manufacturers | with a certificate of guarantee, and that | one is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- | covery, which is warranted to benefit lor cure in all diseases for which it is re- commended, or money paid for it will : be promptly refunded. It cures all skin scalp and scrofulous affections, sores and swellings, salt-rheum, tetter and kind- red ailments. Four of the five Judges of | A Wonderful Lake. Wines and Liquors. The greatest wonder in the State of Towa, and perhaps in any State, is what is called the “Walled Lake,” in Wright County, twelve miles north of the Du- buque and Pacific Railway, and 150 miles west of Dubuque City.” This lake, saysa writerin the Burlington Hawkeye, is from two to three feet highor than the earth's surface. In some places the wall is ten feet high, fifteen feet wide on top. The stones used in construction vary in weight from three tons down to 100 pounds. There is an abundances of stones in Wright County, but surround- ing the lake to the extent of five or ten miles there are none. No one can form an idea as to the means employed to bring them to the spot or who construct- ed it. Around the entire lake isa belt of woodland one-half mile in width, composed of oak. With this exception the country is a rolling prairie. The trees must have been planted there at the time of the building of the wall. In the spring of the year 1856 there was a great storm, and the ice on the lake broke the wall in several places, and the farmers in the vicinity were compelled to repair the damages to prevent inun- dation. The lake occupies a grand sur- face of 2,800 acres, with a depth of water as great as twenty-five feet. The water is clear and cool and the soil sandy and o—SCHMIDT DISTILLER AND JOBBER OF FINE o G. wscuMIpT Wing fa LARGEST AND MOST COMPLETE WINE, LIQUOR AND CIGAR HOUSE IN THE UNITED STATES.
