- Tenor tc "Bellefonte, Pa., July 25, 1890. = Farm Notes. The road tax is one that should be cheerfully paid, but the farmers eliould insist that the amount be applied for the purpose intended. The condition of the roads largely affects the labor on a farm. “Lime is recommended for use in case of mildew in cucumbers and dis- eases among potatoes. Powder the lime and shake it through a sieve, be- ing careful to distribute it thoroughly. It is easy, says Galen Wilson, to pre- vent cabbage worms from injuring the plants. Just keep the crowns filled with soil. The earth does no harm to the cabbages, as the head grows up from the bottom and throws off the earth. Sugar beets should stand from seven to nine inches apart, according to the fertility of the soil. Cultivate them flat, give them plenty of sun, stir the ground thoroughly and aim to produce beets weighing about a pound when topped and cleaned. One man last year used on 20,000 cur- rant bushes 40 pounds of hellebore. This is at the rate of about an ounce to 23 bushes. Every bush had a little hellebore, but if there is no sign of worms only the slightest shake of the box was given in passing. A fitteen-mile journey is an average day’s work for a horse. How far does the cow travel in a poor pasture, nipping a pennyweight of grass here and there, to get her daily ration ? Then she is expected to pay for it through the milk-pail, says the Mirror aud Farmer. While butter is cheap use all the cream and milk iu cooking and upon the table that you wish. For vege- tables, pie-crust, and many other uses in the culinary art cream is far ahead of butter or lard, and should be indulged in by every farmer's family. Pear blight is very prevalent this season in sections where it has but sel- dom appeared before, This result is partially due to forcing the trees when young. The blighted portions should be removed after the crop is gathered. When the trees grow rapidly some oth- er crop should be raised between the TOWS. Professor Phelps, of the Storrs Ex- change Station, says : “There is little doubt to-day that one of the cheapest and best ways of. adding nitrogen to soils is to grow the nitrogen collectors, as clover, alfalfa, vetch, lupines, sar- sadella and peas, and teed them and save the manure orplow them under. When chickens are to be caught it is best to do it after they have gone to roost. The chasing liable to ensne if one attempts to catch them during the day not only annoys the person in pursuit, but is highly injurions to the fowl. Besides all the other poultry is generally frightened, and more or less injury results from this. Probably for general cultivation the advantages of a tap-root in drawing fer- tility and moisture from the subsoil will always outweigh the loss from heaving, but for persons who have soils in which clover heaves badly it may prove worth while to make an effort to reduce the taproot by using seed grown for a series of years on a damp, heavy soil rather than grown on light and sandy soil. Bran aud grain are cheap as well as milk. Store them in the cow now, that she may be in good shape to pro- duce milk when better prices rule—we don’t mean fat her,but grass alone,and such watery grass as some parts ot the country are producing this season, is very poor stuff to build up the system of a cow that isa good milker. Give a little bran or grain or both, to help out—we feed bran and a little corn- meal each day. When manure is handled it is so much added to the cost; hence any labor required in preparing the food,or reducing the litter before adding it to the heap, is saved when the manure isto be handled. The most disagree- able work on the farm is the handling of manure full of cornstalks. Manure should be decomposed, and the fiaer the material that is added to it the quicker its reduction by decomposi- tion. Honey was employed by the ancients for most of the medical purposes for which sugar is now used, and especial- ly with barley water for bronchial af- fections and sore throat. Its present use is almost exclusively local and for the same purpose as of old; and par- ticularly to stimulate the mucus sur- face. Honey is employed in gargles to cure thiush, sore throat, ete., but its efficacy is increased by the addition of chlorate of potassium. Mr. Samuel B. Green,in a late letter in the Farm and Fireside, replying to a subscriber’s question whether it would be best to keep his orchard completely mulched, and if so with what material, said : “The best mulch for an orchard is a loose top soil. If an orchard is heavily mulched therootsare very like- ly to come to the surtace and be injur- ed if the mulch is removed. Then it is very apt to stimulate a late fall growth, which is not advantageous.” Even when overproduction lowers the price it does not pay any individ- ual farmer to allow the yield of his crops to diminish. The term ‘“over- production” is not always general in its application. Whilesuch a thing as an overproduction of a certain crop may be possible yet there never has been a time when there wasnot a scarcity in some other direction. If the market is overstocked with one kind of product the farmer who pro- duces several kinds of crops will not feel the effects of overproduction as se- verely as he who relies entirely on one crop. Figs and Thistles. No man can walk with God without reaching out a hand to help somebody. To be a jack of all trades is one of the easiest ways in the world to be nothing. Until a man has been tried he will always have reason to be afraid of himself. Religion that don’t go clear through a man dont cause the devil much un- easiness. To be able to worship God accepta- bly is the greatest blessing that can come to man. When you want to see the person most to blame for your misfortunes gaze into the looking glass. Treasures in heaven are treasures forever, but treasures on this earth are only treasures for a little while. The man who commits sin is simply putting a halter around his neck that will some day bring him face to face with God. If you are not making the world bet- ter, it will be worse for your having. lived. No man can leave the world as he found it. - There was weeping at the grave of Lazarus, but we don’t know that there was a tear shed when Methuselah was buried. Those who have the greatest knowl- edge of God and enjoy most of His love are those who have had the greatest need of Him. The angels have standing orders to throw wide open every window in heav- en as soon as all the tithesare brought into the store house.— Ram's Horn Important to the Farmer. It is not likely that England will change the policy of many years stand- ing and re-enact the Corn laws, but it is 1n the power of the Government to hamper greatly by unfriendly legisla- tion the importation of American meat products. The Continental States are all wedded to the protective policy, and it will involve no change of front on their part if they shut down utterly on the products of this country. It is true that there has been for some years next to no market for American meats on the Continent. A regaxd for the farmers of the West would dictate that a policy be pursued which would open that market, not close it beyond hope. But with breadstuffs it is different. In 1887 the farmers shipped abroad $90,000, 000 worth of wheat. Of this $33,000, 000 worth went to Engiand and $34, 000,000 worth went to the Continent— to Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands. Will the McKinley bill be much of a boon for the Western farmer if at one blow it deprives him of a market for $30,- 000,000 worth of surplus wheat? What good will cheap sugar be to him if he : have no money to buy it with ? The total value of American exports in 1888 was $633,000,000. Of this $221,000,000 consisted of cotton. That left $462,000,000,0f which $257,000,000, or more than half, was made up of the four items of breadstuffs, animals; meat products, with butter and cheese and tobacco. Therefore, if a commer- cial war comes it will be the farmers chiefly of the West who will have to stand the brunt of it. Judging from the tenor of the speeches at their meet- ing they are not prepared for it and in no mood for it. {hey are complaining of their poverty. They wil! hardly rel- ish a scheme to make them poorer. They say they have not markets enough. They will not fancy being deprived of some of those still left them. Whether the McKinley bill was or was not meant by its anthors for the good of the farmer, Mr. Blaine, who is now in a position where he hears quicker than any one else the senti- ment of the political and commercial world beyond the seas, perceives that if the bill were to pass it would not bene- fit the Western farmer, but the ryot of India, the peasant of Russia and Hun- gary, and the cattle-growers of the broad plains of the Argentine Repub- lic. Having strong American feelings, he prefers that what is done be done tor the good cf his fellow-citizens and uot for their injury and the profit of foreigners. The building up of Chinese walls is a game that two can play it. No mat- ter how high Major McKinley may rear his the Powers of Europe can build still higher. This wall-building may amuse the architects, but where does it leave the American farmer? If he knows. his interests he will side with Mr. Blaine. —— With Ely’s Cream Balm a child can be treated without pain or dread and with perfect safety. Try the rem- edy.

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 nee- 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 jis 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. Ifyou live in town drop in and see what all we have and what quality [of goods we carry. Iiyou 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.
