Bellefonte, Pa., February 2I, 1890. Farm Notes. The cold weather will get around in time to make the lambs shiver, mind that. Look out for their comfort and health. . Rye is now the most useful plant on the farm. Itis providing green food when nothing else can be had for that purpose. Manure is most valuable when the liquids and solids have been saved fo- gether. Neither is a complete fertili- zer alone, but together they supply all the demands of the crops. Put the young roses, just rooted, into a cellar or pit, advises Popular Garden ing, and if started early in the sping in the house and set out when danger from frost is over, they will bloom finely the whole summer. Chestnuts, walnuts, aimonds, butter- nuts and pecans can be planted and grown to advantage as other varieties of trees that bear such fruits as nuts of a marketable value, while the wood of nut trees are of equal value. The garden is neglected on the farm, and many do not cultivate a plot for a garden.” The luxuries of farming can only be obtained by those farmers who grow vegetables and fruits as well as staple crops of grain and grass. When thumps once make their ap- pearance reduce the quantity of feed and give spirits of turpentine,a teaspoon- ful to a fifty pound pigonce a day in the glop, until the accompanying cough is relieved and they show by appearance general improvement. Millet makes a good pasture for sheep when it is about eight inches high. The flock should be hurdled upon it, per- mitted to eat off four or five inches and then moved. The millet will then start up again. It may be fed off three or four times in aseason. One ot the best locations for a garden is to turn under a clover sod ; now ap- ply thirty bushels of airslacked lime per acre(or proportionately), and then cross-plow the land in the spring. The ground must be well harrowed and made fine before planting the seed,how- ever. “Feed more oats this vear,” advises Rural New Yorker. “There isno rea- son why oats should not be fed with profit to all kinds of stock, cattle,sheep, pigs, and poultry. We do not mean fed exclusively, but fed in combination with other grains and fodders.” A correspondent of the Cultivator se- cured a good sod for the first time in thirty years on a square acre of sandy soil by spreading twenty loads of coal ashes onit,lightly manuringit with barn yard manure, turning the whole under and seeding to clover. When fattening geese,give a mixture of corn and wheat. They should also have a cooked mess twice a day, con- sisting of potatoes, turnips, chopped clover, cabbage and onions, as green food is essential. Add a small quanti- ty of salt, and do not overlook the water. There is no advantage in baving a cow that gives a small quantity of very rich milk. The cow that yields a pound of butter and gives a large quantity of milk to produce it, is more valuable as a dairy cow than the one giving the sameamount of butter from one-half the quantity of milkiproduced by another. Roots of all kinds are better kept in a pit than in cellars, where they are ex- posed to currents of air, says the Ameri can Cultivator, which recommends, also, some earth be mixed with them to fill up the spaces and thus prevent the evaporation that usually makes them dry and tasteless before spring. Professor Maynard states that to de- tect the presence of round-headed borers in the wood of apple trees, the rough bark should be scraped off two or three days before the examination is made, when chips thrown out of the holes will be easily seen. The point of a knife or a flexible wire will destroy them. Winter cows need some ‘succulent food, and dorn ensilage is the best and cheapest. Some experiments made at Houghton farm show that a big ratio of butter was obtained from milk made by feeding corn ensilage. Not having ensilage you can substitute roots. Wheat bran fed liberally will also help get the good butter. Those who make a specialty of grow" ing early potatoes claim that it is bet- ter to hand-pick the beetles when they first appear, inatead of dusting the young leaves with plaster and paris green, a process which should be de- ferred until the necessity arises for so doing. By going cver the plants daily the beetles will not have an opportunify of laying many eggs. Associations formed for selling the fruit of certain sections should aim to extend the markets instead of shipping the bulk of the produce to the large cities only. There are a great many smaller cities and towns that are never fully supplied with choice fruit, and there is often a demand which it is dif- ficult to supply except, by direct ship. | ment to the point instead of through other channels: The rot and mildew in grapes can be | | er of the bar. kept in check by the use of the Bor-' deaux mixture, as has been demonstra- ted during the last season. The appli cation must be made as soon. as the buds swell. To make the mixture slake four pounds of lime with sufficient boiling water for the purpose,and when cold slowly add (stirring the while) twenty two gallons of cold water in which six pounds of sulphateof copper (bluestone) has heen previously dis solved. . The Dog Knew. There {3 a dog we are acquainted with, Lion by name, who gives daily proofs thathe knows what is said to him. A lady called the other day. During her call Lion came in, lay down on the par- lor carpet and shut his eyes. The conversation went on, and the visitor said :— «What a handsome dog you have!” Lion opened one eye. “Yes,” said his mistress, “he is a very good dog, and takes good care of the children.” Lion opened the other eye and waved his tail to and fro along the carpet. “When the baby goes out he always goes with her, and I feel sure then that no harm can come to her,” his mistress went on. Lion's tail thumped up and down violently on the carpet. “And he is so gentle to them all, and such a playmate and companion that we would not take a thousand dollars for him." Lion’s tail now went up and down, to and fro, and round and round with great glee. “But,” said his mistress, “Lion has one fault.” Total quiet of Lion's tail, together with appearance of great concern on his face. «He will come in here with dirty teet and lie down on tke carpet, when I have told him time and again that he mustn’t do it.” Lion rose with an air of shame, and slunk out of the room, with his tail down.— Boston Record. He Changed His Politics. At a joint meeting of bankers, law- vers and newspaper men last evening ex-Congressman W. D. Hill told the followlng story : “Horizontal Bill”? Morrison, who was strongly in favor ot Douglas for Presi- dent in 1860, in a stumping campaign in Illinois, advised the young girls to ge t their lovers to vote for the Little Giant, and illustrated his point by telling them how an Illinois girl had married a young chap who was a great Lincoln man, and before the marriage she had been unable to proselyte him. They were married and went to Chicago on their wedding trip. They had re- tired to their room, and the young hus- band went down to “take a smoke.” About 10.30 he retired to his room. but found the door locked. “Who is there?’ asked the wife inside. “Your husband, dear,” ply. “What's your politics 2’? she said. “JT am a Lincoln man, and don’t you forget it.” “Well, no Lincoln man can come in here.” The young man retired, went down stairs and took another smoke and ling- ered until about 12 o'clock. Going again to the room, he knocked. «Who is there ?”’ asked the wife. In a very stern and defiant tone he said : “Open that door; I'm your hus- band.” «T tell you,'? said the wife from the ‘n- side, “that no Lincoln man can get in this room.” Provoked and mad, the young man went down stairs again. About 10 o’clock in the morning he ascended the stairs once more and knocked--this time very timilly. “Who's there?’ came ina difiant tone from the young wife. The reply was given in a lowered and muflled voice: “Let me in; Tam John, yoar husband, and a leetle the best Douglas man in the State of Illinoy.” And the door opened as if by the touch of electricity. young was the re- Crossing the Limbs. Why It Is Harmless to Men and Not to Women. Ladies who sit with their limbs cross- ed to sew or to read, orto hold the baby, are not aware that they are inviting serious physical ailments, but it is true nevertheless, says the New York Morn- ing Journal. When a man crosses his legs he places the ankle of one lirab across the knee of the other, and rests it lightly! there. A woman, modest and restricted in her movements, rests the entire weight of one limb on the upper part of the other, and this pressure up- on the sensitive nerve and cords, if in- dulged in for continued length of time, as is often done by ladies who sew or embroider, will produce disease. Scia- tica, neuralgia and other serious trou- bles frequently result from this simple cause. © The muscles and nerves in the upper portion of a woman's leg are ex- tremely sensitive, and much of her whole physical structure can become de- ranged if they are overtaxed in the man- ner referred to Hitting the Bull’s Eye at Random. Three years ago a prominent citizen of this city, and the owner of a block of buildings on Main street, lost a crowbar, and upto thismorning never had any trace of it.” He accidentally stepped into a business place, and overhearing a con- versation about a crowbar, it reminded him of his lost treasure, and for fun he said to the proprietor: “Uncle—-,I wish you would send home my crowbar. Isn’t three years long enough ?”” “Upon my word and honor,” said the proprie- tor, “I have put out that crowbar no less than twenty times to bring home, and have forgotaen it each time. Here John, you go up to my house and bring Mr. F's crowbar home, and don’t let the grass grow under your feet.,” No .one has a sufficient vivid imagination to picture to himself the suprise of the own- He thinks it was the big- west hit he ever made in his life.—Dan- bury News. Oddities of Etiquette. In Sweden if you address the poorest person on the street you must lift your hat. The same courtesy is insisted upon if you pass a lady on the stairway. To enter a reading room or bank with one’s hat on is regarded as a bad breach of manners. To place your hand on the arm of a lady is a grive and objectiona- ble familiarity. Never touch the per- son, it is sacr=d; is one of their proverbs. In Holland a lady is expected to retire precipitately if she should enter a store or a restaurant where men are congre- gated. She waits until they have trans- acted their business and departed. La- dies seldom rise in Spain to recieve male visitors and they rarely accompany him to the door. For a Spaniard to give a lady, even his wife, his arm when out walking is looked upon as a decided vio- lation of propriety. In Persia a visitor “sends a notice an hour or two before calling, and gives a day’s notice if the visit is one of impor- tance. He is met with servants before he reaches the house and other consider- ations are shown to him according to re- spective rank. The left,and not the right, is considered the position of honor. No Turk will enter a sitting-room with dirty shoes. The upperclasses wear tight fitting shoes, with goloshes over them. The latter, which receive all the dirt and dust, are left outside the door. The Turk never washes in dirty water. Wa- ter is poured over his hands, so that when polluted it runs away. In Syria the people never think of ta- king off their caps or turbans when en- tering the house or visiting a friend, but they always leave their shoes at the door. There are no mats or scrapers outside, and the floors inside are covered with ex- pensive rugs, kept very clean in Moslem houses and used to kneel upo nwhile say- ing prayers.

All I ask for is the opportunity.” ‘Are you particularabout the work ?” “Not in the least. Set me atany blessed thing.” «Very well. I've got a hired girl who has been running the house for a wezk or so and I haven’t the moral cour age to discharge her. Come in and work herout.” “Let me see her, ma'am. I'llgo to the back door and size he up.” He was gone about two minutes and when he came back he nearly carried the side gate off 1ts hinges in his hurry to get through. He didn’t even stop 1n the front yard, bnt as he kept on he turned his face to the crack in the door and said : “Thank you very kindly, ma’am, but T guess I ain’t hungry, and can make these old clothes do me till next spring.” carriages. 1320s 1 7p The BARGAINS o CARRIAGES, BUGGIES, o AND SPRING WAGONS, at the old Carriage stand of oO McQUISTION & CO.,—— NO. 10 SMITH STREET, adjoining the freight depot.
