Bellefonte, Pa., June 27, 1890.
Farm Notes,
As egg producers the Houdans claim
their place among the first; they are
non-sitters, and ii not equaling in the
number of eggs the Leghorns and Ham-
burgs,they out-strip them all in weight,
as two large, white eggs will turn the
scales with three Ieghorn or Ham-
burg eggs. The eggs of Houdans are
usually very fruitful. The chickens
very healthy and fast growers, and
not subject to most diseases which at-
tack young chickens; both chickens
and old fowls are very meaty, tender,
and fine in flavor, and valuable as
table fowls.
The striped beetle is the enemy: that
prevents the melon and cucumber
grower from realizing a crop. The
Rural New Yorker's remedy is one
that should be tried. Into a pail of
land plaster put sufficient spirits of
turpentine to give the plaster a
strong flavor. In the morning (after
the plants have had sufficient growth)
scatter a small pinch on each hill. The
odor drives away the beetles, and: a
second application is seldom necessary.
The importance of washing or .cur-
rying the cow for the purpose of pre-
venting disease may be shown by the
fact that while a cov » may discharge
20 pounds of water through the kid-
neys she may drink 100 pounds, the
80 pounds passing off through theskin,
carrying with it matter that should be
eliminated from the body. Unless the
water passes off freely the milk will
be more or less contaminated. Wash
the cow, curry or "brush her, and re-
move the dried matter and scarf on
the skin in order to promote tree per-
‘spiration.
Smut on oats is now easily destroy-
ed in a very simple manner. The De-
partment of Agriculture, in its ‘Jour-
nal of Mycology,” states that it the
seed be treated with scalding water,
which is poured over the seed, and the
seed immersed in the hot water for a
few minutes, no injury will be done the ;
seed, while the pores from which the
fungus is propagated are destroyed.
The Massachusetts Ploughman says
there is no truth iv the belief that some
seeds, such as cucuinbers and equash-
es, improve with age for several years.
They are never so vigorous and good
as when fresh, and slowly lose their
vitality until at the end of a number of
years they are quite uncertain.
Professor E. I. Ladd said, at the
last meeting of the New York State
Dairyman’s Association, that, taking
the results of the dairy couference of
last year, he tinds that in some cases
less than thirteen pounds of milk were
required to produce a pound of butter ;
at other conferences as high as thirty-
two or thirty-three pounds were re-
quired.
H. P. Hopkins, of New York, avers
that every time he churns unripe
cream he loses. He says: “When
cream is a trifle acid it is sufficiently
ripened. 1 prefer a concussion churn
to the friction churn. White specks
in batter come from coagulation of the
milk, which setties to the bottom of
the cans. They should be washed out
properly.
That persistant pest of some sections
—crab grass—is easily destroyed when
young, but it grows rapidly, and ex-
tends its roots in every direction. It
will erowd down every other plant in
its way, and the only mode of prevent-
ing its occupancy of the soil is to Uve-
gin tne work of eradicating as soon as
it puts in an appearance.
The sheep that has been sheared
will now be more thrifty than the one
heavily covered with wool. The heat
is very injurious to sheep unless they
can have a cool place to which to re-
sort, with plenty of fresh water. They
seek their food early,rest during the day
and graze again late in the afternoon.
It was never intended that ensilage
should be used ssa food for stock to
the exclusion of grain or hay. The
ensilage is to supply the place of grass
in the winter season. Sow your corn
now, and it will provide you with ex-
cellent addition to the regular food at
the proper time,
Never ship poultry to market alive
in summer, as they suffer greatly on
the journey. Kill all kinds of poultry,
dry pick them and pack the carcasses
in ice. The extra price obtained will
pay for the labor of dressing, while
less loss will result from shipment to
market.
How to cheapen the cost is to aplpy
the cost where the product will be the
largest. Itis not profitable to feed
some animals, for a pound of food giv-
en to inferior stock will cost just as
much as a pound of food given to
choice animals.
Clover should be cut just before the
heads begin to turn brown. To cut it
sooner is to lose a portion of the nutri-
tious matter, while to cut it after th:
blossoms turn brown is to permit it to
become more woody and less succulent.
As the roots of red clover equal two-
thirds the weight of the stalks the
plowing in of a clover sod leaves in
the soil a large amount of valuable
nitrogenous matter which cannot be so
cheaply procured in any other manner.
Young strawberry beds will quickly
be overrun with crab grass at this sea-
son, the best preventive being to cul-
tivate the rows atter every rain, which
will push the strawberry plants ahead.
Laud plaster will ofterf cause a field
of grass to show growth after it is ap-
parently exhausted from frequent crop-
ping. Plaster and ashes make an ex-
cellent combination.
If the land for the turnip crop is not
ready there is no time to lose. It
should be well worked and made fine.
As soon as the new crop of seed comes
in is the timeto sow.
Not So Bad as He Expected.
Two soft, white arms go stealing
around his neck, and a fair, peach-like
cheek is rubbed caressingly against his
own. Faintly whispered ‘Dear papa,”
and “Darling old boy,” and “Don’t you
love your own caramel!” reach his
startled ears as he vainly attempts to
pull himself together aud avoid the
loving, sugar-coated attack which he
well knows is coming.
“Well, daughter mine,’ he finally asks,
“what is it? Not another new dress,
surely ?” :
“Oh, no, papa darling.”
“H—m—m, that’s good. And it
can’t be the milliner agam ?”
“No, papa, love.”
“H-—m—m, better still. It isu't the
florist ?"
“No, you dearest papa.”
“H—m—m, Great scott! You don’t
want a trip to Europe, do you?”
“No, you lovely old dear.”
“Well, what in the name of good:
ness do you want, my little gir] 2”
“Darling papa mine, I don’t want
anything—at all—that is—Jack wants
Knew His Business.
A small fishing schooner was crawi-
ing along the shores of Puget Sound,
driven by alight wind, one day recently.
She was an old-fashioned craft, manned
by two men, a captain and a mate.
The mate, who was stationed on the
bow of the vessel, suddenly espied a
tide-rip ahead, and thinking it was
evidence of a sunken reef, hastened to-
wards the stern of the vessel.
‘Captain Blank, there is a reef dead
ahead !" reported the mate.
‘Hump! replied the eaptain, with-
out changing the course of the vessel.
The mate went forward and watched
the tide-rip uneasily for some time.
Finally he again went aft.
‘Captain,’ said he, ‘we are getting
dangerously close to that reef.’
‘Mr. Mate,” growled the captain,
savagely, ‘vou take care of your end of
the vessel and I will take care of mine.’
The mate said nothing now, but go-
ing forward he seized the anchor and
threw it over board. It caught on the bot-
tom and the vessel swung around, bow
to the wind, with everything shaking.
‘Captain,’ said the mate, as he again
went aft, ‘I have to report that my end
of the vessel is at anchor.’
Proverbs About Rain.
The past few months in this latitude
have been so dry (?) that we feel that
our readers will all be interested in
some old “saws’ concerning signs of
rain.
When there is unusual clearness in
the atmosphere, and objects are seen
very distinctly, there will probably be
rain, When clouds are gatheribg to-
ward the sun at setting, with a rosy
hue, they foretell rain.
Evening gray and morning red,
Put on your hat, or you'll wet your head.
If rain commences before day, it will
stop before 8 a. m. ; if it begins about
noon, it will continue through the af-
ternoon ; if not till 5 p. m., it will rain
through the night; if it clears off in
the night, it will rain the next day.
If it rains before seven,
It will clear before eleven.
If it rains before sunrise,expect a fair
afternoon. Ifit rains when the sun
shines, it will rain the next day. If
clouds appear suddenly in the south,
expect rain.
Rain from the south prevents the drouth,
But rain from the west is always best.
When rain comes from the west it
will not continue long. If rain falls
during an east wind it will continue a
full day. If an assemblage of small
clouds spread out or become thicker or
darker, expect rain. Small, inky clouds
foretell rain. Dark clouds in the west
at sunrise indicate rain on that day.
If the sky after fine weather becomes
heavy with small clouds, expect rain.
DextAL Irem—Sufferer—Do you
pull teeth without pain ?
Dentist— Well, not always. I sprain-
el my wrist last time I pulled a tooth,
and it hurts me yet, occasionally.

It is only those 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 then 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 jis tolre-
ride 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.
If you live in town drop
in and see what all we have
and what quality “of goods
we carry.
If you 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
strengthlessarticles of diet.
If you have any good fresh
farm produce bringlit along,
Under any and all eir-
cumstances
COME AND SEE US.
