Farm Notes.
In the Southern States no milking is
performed untii the udder of the cow is
washed and wiped dry with a clean
towel. This isan old custom in that
section, and it should be followed else-
where. If the North can boast of a
greater number of superior animals,
she has yet a lesson to learn from the
above. The udder and teats of a cow
are often plastered over with filth from
the liquid and solid manure, much of
which is carried into the milk by the
hands of the milker. An inspection of
some cattle-stalls will plainly show the
necessity of a thorough washing of the
udder.
An excellent mode of growing early
tomatoes, eggplants, etc., is to scoop
out a potato or turnip and fill the hol-
low with rich earth. Have only one
plant to a potato. When the plant is
afthe desired size plant the potato
(earth and young plant) and no check
willbe given the growth,as the decay of
the potato will assist in furnishing food
for the plant. Where turnips can be
had they should be preferred to pota-
toes. Egg shells have also been used
for the same purpose with success.
When planting corn for ensilage do
not depend on such a crop as the exclu-
sive feed for the next season Ensilage
is invaluable to ali who raise cattle,
but its value consistsin providing suc
culent food at a season when such food
is scarce. Grow grain and roots also,
in order to provide a variety. Ensil-
age is the cheapest of all foods when
properly used in connection with grain
and bay. Its effects are largely dietary
and itinvariably increases the appetite
‘and promotes digestion.
A French scientist states that his ex-
periments show the colors of growing
plants to indicate the presence of com-
plete plant food. When the soil is
lacking in nitrogen and the mineral
elements the color of the leaves of the
plants is yellow. Light-green color
shows a deficiency of some particular
substance,and deep-green indicates that
the plants are particularly supplied
with nitrogen, lime, potash and phos-
phoric acid.
A correspondent of the Pittsburg
Stockman gives an important remedy
for hog cholera, if he is not mistaken
in the disease. Finding several hogs
dead, and others dying, he administer-
ed kerosene and milk, the result being
a complete recovery of the sick animals
with no further spread of the disease.
The cures were immediate.
1t is shown by experiment that ani-
mals affected with tuberculosis are in
a condition to communicate disease to
other stock, and that when slaughtered
and used as beef endanger the health
of those who consume the meat, one
scientist claiming that consumption
may be communicated in such a
manner.
While aiming to produce good but-
ter do not forget that one of the most
important essentials is the purity of
the salt. Butter may be injured by
salt, and as no mineral is more difficult
to rid of impurities than salt extra care
should be exercised in securing the best
to be obtained.
Unless a colly dog is well trained he
should not be used for driving cattle or
sheep. A dog that does not thoroughly
understand his duty will keep the ani-
mals in perpetual fear. Cows giving
milk are quickly affected by excite-
ment of any kind.
Dig up the ground, add manure, and
then work the manure well into the
soil. When raked down fiae set out
pansy plants, about a foot apart each
way, you will havea beautiful bed of
them before the season is over.
A few peach trees, planted every
spring, for family use, will provide a
constant supply each season,the young-
er trees coming into bearing as the old
ones dieout. A dozen trees require
but little labor.
Strictly choice cattle are not in ex-
cess of the demand at any time. There
is always an extra price for an extra
choice article, and this applies to every
thing that may be produced.
When planting corn bear in mind
that the variety known to be well adapt-
ed to your soil and climate is better
than any new variety until you give
the new variety a trial in a small plot,
New novelties in plans are often
oid varieties renamed, and the‘‘novelty’’
dies out after the first season unless it
is something superior to anything of
its kind allready in use.
Alternate freezing and thawing
throws the plants up. The roller
should be used over the field when the
ground is dry enough to permit of so
doing.
Unless grapes are trimmed without
delay it may do them injury to cut
them back later on. All varieties of
grape vines should be trimmed early,
When a hog loses appetite it may be
that all he requires is a lump
of charcoal. Charcoal should always
be Jap where the hogs can eat it at
will.
Bohemian oats possess no merit over
other kinds, and farmers should be
cautions before paying extra prices for
such seed.

Last Opportunity for Washington via
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The last of the popular series of ex-
cursions to Washington which have
been so successfully run by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company during the
winter and spring, is fixed for Thursday,
April 24th, a date which is without
doubt the most desirable that could be
selected. Washington at that time is
beginning to show all the activity of
spring, and the beautiful parks in which
the city abounds are verdant with shrub-
bery and blooming with early flowers.
Congress is busy, the city is thronged
with prominent people, and the actual
working of the government is seen to
the best advantage.
Excursion tickets will ba sold as here-
totore at $9.00 from Pittsburg, and pro-
portionate rates from other stations, with
the privilege of a stop-over in Baltimore
in either direction. These ticket will
be good going on any regular train of
that date, except Limited Express, and
to return within ten days. In addition
a special train of Pullman Parlor Cars
and Day Coaches will leave Pittsburg
at 8:00 a. m. and run through to Wash-
ington.
Pleasant side trips may be made from
‘Washington to Old Point Comfort,
Norfolk, Richmond, Petersburg, and
Mt. Vernon at reduced rates.
The specific excursion rate from Belle-
fonte is $7-25, and train connecting with
the Special will leave at 10.25 a. m.
Yon sturdy oak whose branches wide
Boldly the storms and winds defy,
Not long ago an acorn, small,
Lay dormant neath the summer sky.
Not unlike the thrifty oak inits germ,
developement and'growth, is consump-
tion. But even this mighty foe of man-
kind positively yields to the wonderful
curative properties of Dr. Pierce’s Gold-
en Medical Discovery if taken early.
Don’t he blind to your own interests
and think yours a hopeless case. This
remarkable remedy has rescued thous-
ands. It is the only medicine of its
class, sold by druggists, under a positive
guarantee that it will benefit or cure in
all cases of disease for which it is com-
mended, or money paid for it will be
promptly refunded.
ScraAMBLED Egas.—Break six eggs
into a stew-pan, add three ounces of but-
ter, a little salt and pepper; put the
stew-pan over the fire and stir constant-
ly ; when done, which will be in three
or four minutes, serve immediately, on
toast.
——Don’t get caught this spring with
your blood full of impurities, your di-
gestion impaired, your appetite poor,
kidneys on liver torpid, and whole sys-
tem liable to be prostrated by disease—
but get yourself into good condition,
and ready for the changing and warmer
weather, by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
It stands unequalled for purifying the
blood, giving an appetite, and for a gen-
eral spring medicine.
——A St. Louis physician thinks it
just as important that the ears of rail-
road employes, and particularly the ears
of locomotives engineers, should be scien?
tifically tested for natural or acquired
defects as that their eyes should
be tesed for color blindness.
There is a trouble known to medical
men who practice larely®among railroad
employes as whistle deafness.
——W. W. Hanworth, a trackman on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and re-
siding at Paw Paw, W. Va., was rob-
bed of $2,500 a short time ago. Mrs.
Hanworth confesses to having stolen the
money for the purpose of eloping with a
young railroad workman. She turned
over $60 to her husband and it is sup-
posed that her lover has the remainder
of the boodle. ;

TY THE HUNGRY PUBLIC.
It is only these who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
istence, that we address.
Those who use no-
thing,—who think they
need nothing,—who live
on expectation, hope or
some intangible nothing,
will save time by passing
this column by. It isnot
intended for’ them but the
other fellows. We write
what is here put down for
the people who are mortal
enough to get hungry, and
in consequence of getting
hungry are sensible enough
to try to get what is good,
pure, wholesome and nec-
essary, at prices that don’t
require them to lay out all
that they earn, to appease
their appetites. We have
been in the hunger appeas-
ing business for many,
many years. We know
what men want, we know
what women and children
desire, and we know how
much better and how much
more pleasant it is to re-
side in a community where
people enjoy good health,
than among dyspeptic com-
plainers, growlers and suf-
ferers. To have healthy
people pure food must be
used. We understand this,
and understanding it, keep
nothing but the purest of
everything! that can be
found in the market. To
satisfy the demands of the
many different stomachs
that we try to gratify, re-
quires a vast variety of
dainties, condiments and
relishes, as well as the sub-
stantials; and knowing this
there is nothing that is eat-
able, rélishable or appetiz-
ing, that we do not keep.
1t is for you who want, or
use anything eatable, eith-
er as meats, fish, groceries,
fruits, nuts, relishes, or in
fact anything from a piece
of chewing gum to a first
class beef steak, that ws
write and pay jthe printer
to print this invitation [for
you to come and see us.
Ifyou live in town drop
in and see what all we have
and what quality [of goods
we carry.
Ifyou live in the country
come in the first time you
come to town and learn how
easy it is to get good, pure,
fresh groceries, as low if
not lower than many have
been in the habit of paying
for old, impure and
strengthless articles of diet.
If you have any good fresh
farm produce bringtit along.

cumstances
