Farm Notes.
In building a silo, build it just strong
enough to bear the weight and press-
ure. Anything further is useless ex-
pense.
Before beginning to fatten an ani-
mal first promote its growth so as to
have the frame to put the fat upon.
Old sod land, when plowed, should
always be limed. Lime assists the sod
to decompose, destroys many insects,
and adds plant food to the soil.
M. F. Varney cautions against
spraying fruit trees until the blossoms
have fallen or you may kill your best
friend, the honey-bee.
Too much . harrowing of the soil is
seldom indulged in, yet the free use of
tiie harrow will do more to increase
the crops than any other kind of work.
It the time spent in grambling about
the depredations of insect pest was de-
voted to the study of entomology the
results would be more satisfactory.
Salt is an excellent fertilizer .for
some crops, as it aids lime in decom-
posing organic matter in the soil, and
supplies sodium wherever it may be
required.
Good grades of stock are always in
demand in the markets. When prices
are down the farmer should endeavor
to gain something by increasing the
weight and quality.
“The grass is now furnishing good
grazing, and the cost of milk and but-
ter may be reduced, but the ground
grain should not be lessened to the
cows that are giving large yields of
milk.
Clover and a feed of bran at nightis
better than too much grain or clover
exclusively. Bran for pigs, calves and
growing stock of all kinds provides
hosphates, and largely aids in develop-
ing bone.
Itis claimed that Japan buckwheat
has a larger kernel, ripens earlier and
endures drought better than the
wellknown silver-hull varieties. It
should be given a trial by those 1n-
terested during the summer.
The Turner raspberry is one of the
earliest and most reliable of red berries.
Every farmer should have this and the
Cuthbert, as the one follows the other
in time of ripening.
The seed bed should be in perfect
condition, which means mellowed deep,
all manure thoroughly incorporated
with the soil, harrowed and planked
antil all clods are reduced fine.
Numerous experiments have shown
that a cow calving in September or
October will give more milk and make
more butter in the course of a year
than will one calving in April or May.
A correspondent ot the Massa
chusetts Ploughmansays that a quart of
vinegar in half a pail of water, if
thoroughly sprinkled over the interior
of a henhouse, will free it from lice,
when whitewashing and other remedies
have failed.
With corn at 20 to 23 cents per
bushel we do not think there is
nourishment enough in the cobs to
make it pay to have them ground
when the cost of grinding is 5 cents per
bushel, unless there was a lack of
coarse fodder at hand and it'was desira-
ble to use the corn, cob and all, rather
than feed clear corn meal.
The horseshoe of the present should
be improved. There needs to be some-
thing which will save the hoof from an
undue wear and breakage, while at the
same time permitting of elasticity of
movement when the weight of the
body is alternately borne upon and ta-
ken from it.
The hybridizing of beans is done
simply by planting the kinds near each
other. They mix readily without any
care ; in fact, it requires much care to
grow pure bean seed that has not been
mixed with some other variety grown
in the neighborhood.
All seeds, so far as possible, should
be sown by drills, of which there are
several excellent makes. The advant-
ages of regularity of depth, even
distribution and saving of seed, are
matters of great importance, to say
nothing of the amount of ground that
can be sown in a day, which is a great
saving of time.
In the barn or under a good shed
every damp day and night, and in the
sunshine whenever it is fair, is the
place for sheep in cold weather,says the
Northwestern Agriculturist. But they
must have plenty of fresh air and clean
room. The occasional use of a little
deodorizer, like carbolic acid, is a good
thing in the sheep pen.
Stable and yard manure is consid-
ered by many a complete manure, and,
as such, indispensable for market gar-
dening ; but it has been demonstrated
that on some soils a combination of
stable manure and commercial fertil-
izers have and do invariably produce
the best, earliest, and consequently the
most profitable crops.
Do not transplant tomato plants
until the weather is warm and danger
of frost over. Cool nights will cause
them to be stunted, which retards their
growth to such an extent that plants
from seeds sown in summer will over
take them. It is a mistake often made
to transplant early. 2
early plants are growing well in the
hot-bed they can be transplanted at any
time. Oae or two cold nights may
cause a loss of time and labor to trans-
planted plants.
Alfalfa can be grown in thiz State.
The most important point is fresh
seed, which should not be over one |

killed out by weeds, but when estab-
lished it will prodnece crops for years.
It thrives well on light land. endures
droucht and yields largely : but wet
land is not appropriate to it. It shonld
be given u trial on small plots by tar-
mers, in order toobserve its arowtliy
before sowing fields of it.

Brutal Outrage.
A Female School Teacher Assaulted By
Three Tramps.
EriswortH, Ken, April 18.—Miss
Myrtle Hill, teacher of a country school
about eight miles from here, on the
Union Pacific Railway, was assaulted
yesterday morning in a most brutal
manner by one white and two colored
men. The assault occurred at a lonely
spot on the road. She was thrown to
the ground and fearfully maltreated.
Her assailants filled her mouth with
acid so as to prevent her outeries,assault-
ed and then robbed her.
During the struggle with her assail-
ants three of her ribs were broken.
When discovered she was in an uncon-
scious condition, snd it is feared she
may die. A search for the party was
made as soon as the news of the assault
became generally known. Hundreds of
men are now searching for the tramps,
and if they are found they will be
lynched.

A Great Record.
Philadelphia Evening Hearld.
Of Samuel J. Randall it can truly be
said that he was one of the few men who
stood prominent in politics, who had no
political enemies. Even those who dis-
agreed with him revered him for his
sterling honesty and knew that Samuel
J. Randall was firm because he believed
he was right. Few men prominent in
politics leave such a record. No won-
der the entire country mourns for the de-
parted statesman,
———
Looking outward and upward is
a more practical method of finding one’s
pathway than looking downward and
inward. The pilot in mid-ocean does
better, as a pilot, by keeping his eye
on the sun or the stars, as he stands at
the helm, than he would by fixing his
sight on the sea before his vessel’s bow,
or by turning his eyes into the vessels
bold. Onlyasa man has thoughts of
God and heaven can he comprehend
his true relations to earth and to his fel-
low-man. A recognition of abstract
truth is, in fact, essential to an under-
standing of truth in the concrete.
Therefore it is, as Philips Brooks says, |
that ‘there has been no great teacher
of mankind in whose nature have not
met the mystic and the moralist, the
seeker after most transcendent truth and
the enforcer of most practical duty.”
In Boston, of Course.—1’m
going to geb. married,” said he, as he
placed a hand as large as a Dutch cheese
upon the connter, ugnd I want a wed-
ding cake.” “It is customary, now a
days,’ said the pretty bakery girl, ‘to
have the materials of the cake harmo-
nize with the calling of the bridegroom.
For a musician, now, we have an oat
cake ; for a man who has no calling and
lives upon his friends, the sponge cake;
for a newspaper paragrapher, the spice
cake, and so on. Whatis your calling,
please?’ “I'm a pugilist.” “Then you
want a pound cake.” .

— Luther J. Kaufman, of Lancas-
ter, addressed a farmers’ institute at
Reading on last Saturday evening upon
the great depression in agriculture in
Pennsylvania He stated that the mort=
gages on the farms in Berks county
amounted to $9,000,000 and in Lancas-
ter county to $25,000,000. For one
county to have mortgages to the amount
of $25,000,000 resting on its farms is
enough to depress agriculture. Twenty-
five milllions of dollars would buy al-
most all the real estate ir Centre
county.

—__ Mr. Hammersley, the wealthy
New York widow, who created a sensa-
tion when she married the penniless and
worthless Duke of Marlborough, is al-
ready short of cash and is back asking
the trustees of the Hammersley estate to
increase her allowance to $100,000 a
year. It costs considerable to live with

— The last venture in the use of
human hair is a fan valued at $250, says
Harper's Bazar. Deft fingers must have
fashioned this unique curiosity, for
what appears to be costly lace, fringing
the sticks, is really human hair ; baby
curls, like unto fairy thistle down, we
doubt not, yielding to the gentle wooing
of summer's softest breezes.

ro THE HUNGRY PUBLIC.
It is only those who
eat—the many who re-
quire the necessities of
life, to prolong their ex-
igtence, that we address.
Those who use mno-
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, wholesomeJand 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, relishable or appetiz-
ing, that we do not keep.
It 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 we
write and pay the printer
to print this invitation {for
you to come and see us.

and what quality [of goods
we carry.

easy it is to get good, pure,
