Pa., January 3, 1890. Bellefonte, DAWN. A sudden sound of wings and voices, As hurrying night-tirds homward fare ; A restless tremor in the air; Faint, half-suppressed, impatient noises, And signs of waking everywhere! “The women tell me every day That all my bloom has passed away. —— But they could no longer chide you with loss of nloom and beauty if you made use of the great restorative Dr. Pierces Favorite Perscription. -All female weaknesses and derangements, » And then a silence as of waiting, farm Notes. Keep your eye on the vegetables and fruits all through the winter that any decay may be noticed and decayed specimens removed. There is one reason, among others, why the mutton breeds produce better mutton than Merinoes. Feeding for mutton is a much higher science than feeding for wool. It is reported that a man in Kansas made 1000 barrels of vinegar from twenty acres of watermellons, sold the vinegar for 810 a barrel. He has found a new and valuable indus- try. CanI grow mutton profitably 3000 | miles from the market ? asks a corre- | spondent. Well, Kentucky sells more than 20,000 sheep every vear in| Boston and gets miore per pound for them than New England breeders can get for their sheep. If we conld impress farmers and gardeners with the importance thoroughly testing seed before plant- ing we should remove the cause of an immense amount of failure in crops. Nine-tenths of the trouble in growing crops, we believe, is to be found in poor | seed, The potato crop of the country is! estimated at 513,000,000 bushels, an increase of 17,000,0000 bushels over that of last year. Estimating the pop- ulation at 65,000,000 souls it will be seen that there are over three and one- half bushels for each man, woman and child in the Uuited States. For the great massof farmers the! cheapest, safest and best method of im- | proving their stock is the continued | use of good and pure bred sires and the | best females obtainable, but the low rate of pure bred stock makes it an especially good time in which to lay | the foundation for a full bred flock ‘or herd. After the road tax is worked out many farmers think that all they do on the road after that is lostlabor. Real ly making of good roads is more to the farmer's interest than any other kind of tax he pays. Equally so it should seem is the keeping of weeds from seed- ing, either in his own land or that of his neighbors. The personal qualities of the ani- mals to be used in breeding are more important than those of their ancesters- tlee qualities of parents more than grandparents, and vastly more import- ant than those of any of their ances- tors. The offspring resembles the parent more frequently than it does some more remote ancestor. A poultry yard can properly be the dumping ground fora great deal of vege- table rubbish, to give the occupants ex- ercise in scratching and to convert the rubbish into manure or mulch. A ton of weeds, straw, leaves, salt or bogg hay, seaweed or cornstalks will soon be srcatched fine in a populous poultry yard. The weather assists, of course. If you cannot procure meat for your fowls, buy them some cottonseed meal If fed daily, one pint ina soft mess for 200 hens is sufficient. Milk is al- so an excetlent substitute for meat, and in fact, is considered preferabl: Ly scme poultry keepers. No matter how well balanced their ration may be, change it often. A variety of food gives zest to the appetite and stimulates digest- ion. Soiling crops (like fodder corn) are often necessary even in connection with pasturage. Droughts are too common to suanish good pasturage all the season ; and perhaps if we had a good stift drought every summer it might do something to break up the wasteful pasturage system on good tillable lands, and thus be a blessing in disguise. The soiling system is the coming method for civilized countries. At arecent meeting of the Oxford Farmers’ Club, Mr, Linter said : “Four geese are good for a pou nd of feathers every six weeks and their feathers are worth 50 cents each year. We are looking for something that pays. We have itin the goose. But it is not fashionable now for the farmers’ wives and daughters to pick geese. It is hard to find any fancy work that pays much. Any smart girl can make mus- cle and money raising geese.” Plenty of salt is a oreat preventive of disease, says the Sheep Breeder and Wool Grower. Witness the health of tlocks grazing on the salt grasses of the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the lowland villa (Sp rabolis airoides) of Utah, andthe “salt brash” of Arizona. Though they might beslightly injured at first by the excess of salt in this class of vegetation, ultimately they cease to be affected by it, and thence forth they are measurably proof a- gainst most diseases which assail their kind. Peach growing by people unaccus- tomed to the work usnally turns out badly. Trees left to grow in grass or untilled ground among weeds usually die early from neglect. The borers are reasonably sure to kill them if disease does not. - Itis the constant neglect through ignorance, which originates the common idea that the peach is short lived and not worth mach atten- tion. Treat it properly and fruit will be the reward, except when cold weath- er ruins bads or blossoms.
