    Beware Watcha,
: Bellefonte, Pa., September 12,1890.
Farm Notes.
It you mean to raise early lambs for
next spring’s trade, it's time you had
your breeding stock in shape.
A large scarlet comb indicates that
the hen is laying. All healthy fowls
should have bright red combs.
It is money thrown away to invest
in the better class of stock unless you
are prepared to give them good care.
Plenty of fresh-burnt charcoal is ex-
cellent in the pig-pen, especially dur-
ing this season, when green food is
plentiful, and they will eat it rapidly.
Keep the stock where you can get
the manure. It does not pay to turn
your stock in the woods and buy fer til-
izers. Do not let you farm run down.
Turkeys grown three months will,
barring accident, be growing rapidly
from now on. Rhode Island raises
the largest number ; the farmers of In-
diana ard Iliinois are raising more
than they have done for years past.
Every bird killed means more worms
to fight. Every woman who wears a
dead bird as an ornament on her bon-
net encourages the destruction of the
useful creatures. If the women would
reject all such ornaments they would
do a service to farmers and prevent
cruelty.
Mr. B. Allen, in the New York Zvi-
bune, adyises that pasture lands be di-
vided into small lots, instead of one
large one. The grass is eaten down
cleaner, and while onelot is pastured
the others recuperate. Now that iron
fences are so cheap, this is a good plan.
Cottonseed meal and bran are the
«cheapest of all food for stock, consider-
ing their nutrative value as compared
with other materials. These foods are
cheap if simply brought on the farm for
the value as manure alone, and espec-
ially on lands deficient in nitrogen and
phosphates.
The New Jersey State Agricultural
Society, two years ago, balloting for
the best three grapes for general use,
one of each color, decided in favor of
the Brighton, red ; Worden, black, and
Niagara, white ; and few grape grow-
.ers in that State would to-day make
any allernation mn the list.
There is generally found a brisk de-
mand for peas, beans, radishes and
sweetcorn 1n late summer and fall.
These crops when planted in summer
require richer soil than in early spring
and it should be remembered, too, that
seeds sown in mid-summer must be cov-
ered deeper than in the spring.
Every farmer knows tbat bright,
clean corn fodder will be eaten up en-
tirely by the cows. Do not let it be-
come moldy. It many be very conve-
nient to leave itin the field, but before
the winter is half over much of it will
be soaked with rain, blown or tramp-
led. Corn fodder is an excellent food
if in good, bright condition.
If our farms are “running ol
such should not be the case. In Eng-
land, where the soil has been cultiva-
ted for centuries, the land is richer to-
day than ever before. This is due to
the farms being small and well manur-
ed. Every square foot of land in Eng-
land is made to yield something, if
used for farming, and the aim is always
to add more plant food than the crop re-
moves.
With a small flock of choice sheep
the farmer is not obliged to go around
among his neighbors to solicit them
to buy a quarter of beef from him at a
low price, because he cannot consume
it, but can retain and can use the
meat of sheep instead. Mutton is just
as nutritious as beef, and if the choice
mutton breeds of sheep are used a far
better article of meat can be secured,
A writer from Union county, III,
notices that the Bartlett pear is losing
ground, and among nurserymen’s lists
from first has sunk to third or fourth
place, and says : “The Wilson straw-
berry has headed the list for decades.
Who plants it now ? Excepting in a
few localities especiaily adapted to it
we hardly find it at all. Is the Bart-
lett in like manner passing into retire-
ment ?”
Some one makes the sensible sug-
gestion that such horses on the farm
as are to be worked together nearly
every day during the season should be
matched in gait and strength. These
items are of much more importance
than color, size, and other things that
are often looked at instead. If un-
evenly matched give the weakest ani-
mal the benefit of a little advantage
with the double-tree.
The Mirror and Farmer holds forth
in this manner : “There is an anxious
looking after the sheep industry as
a mortgage lifter. Not long since
the cow, the ‘angel of the hillsides’ and
the ‘queen ot the prairie,’ was the idol
of the farmer staggering under a mort-
gage. But dairying has been descending
to the common level of other lines of
agriculture, and there is a dubious
looking around to find some other idol
of hope.”
Mrs. L. Harrison, in the Prairie
Former, gives the following good ad-
vice about not disturbing the nests of
the _bumble-bees : Farmers do not
burn up all the nests of the bumble-
bees, for they are worth $20 to you in
festilizinz red clover blossoms, thereby
iusuring a heavy crop of seeds. In
Australia there were no bumble-bees
of our kind and they gould not raise
cloverseed till they imported some.
Carrots are regarded as promoting
the strength and endurance of the
borse in a high degree, They are
much esteemed as a feed for sick or
convalescent horses. In health, car-
rots may be given sliced in cut feed.
Half a bushel a day is sufficient, if
otherstrong feed is not given. Boiled
carrots are given to sick horses. Car-
rots are much used in feeding racing
and other sporting horses. They great-
ly improve the horse's wind.
No Bank There.
There was an eastern man with us in
the stage as we were making a route in
Kansas, and at noon, as we stopped at
a new town for dinner, he said to the
landlord of the board shanty tavern :
“This seems to be a brisk sort of a
town.”
“Yes. She's gaining right along.”
“Is there a bank here ?”’
“Regular bank ?"
“Yes,”
“Regular bank, with president, cash-
ier, and so on, where they receive de-
posits, give drafts on Chicago, and so
forth.”
“Yeu.”
“No, there isn’t any such bank here
now.”
“Then there was one.”
“Yes, but it closed out. The presi-
dent and cashier are here, though.”
“Then perhaps I could have a little
talk with them before dinner?”
“Hardly. They are lying under-
ground out here in my back lot.
“What ! Dead 7"
“As door nails.”
“Sickness or accident ?”
“Well, sort o’ betwixt. The bank
tried to fail and pay fifty cents on the
dollar, and the boys turned out and
hung them to that telegraph pole there,
and divided the cash, so that we got
$1.10 a piece on our deposits. If you
want to start a bank, however, I'll—"’
“Oh, no, no! I bad no idea of it.—
I'm going on to Emporia to go into
business.”
How’s Your Livir?—The old lady
who replied, when asked how her liver
was, “God bless me, I never heard that
there was such a thing in the house,”
was noted for her amiabllity. Prome-
theus, when chained to a rock, might as
well have pretended to be happy, as the
man who is chained to a diseased liver.
For poor Prometheus, there was no es-
cape, but by the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, the disagree-
able feelings, irritable temper, constipa-
tion, indigestion, dizziness and sick
headache, which are caused by a dis-
eased liver, promptly disappear.
——4“My mother-in-law got the tooth-
ache yesterday, and fought with every-
body in the house.”
“What was the end of it ?”
“Well, she determined to have it
out with her dentist, and, I believe, it
resulted in a draw.”
The usual treatment of catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands of des-
pairing patients can testify. A trust-
worthy medical writer says: “Proper
local treatment is positively necessary to
success, bnt most of the remedies in gen-
eral use by physieians afford but tempor-
ary benefit A eure cannot be ex-
pected from snuff, powders, douches and
washes.” Ely’s Cream Balm is a reme-
dy which combines the important re-
quisites of quick action, specific curative
power with perfect safety and pleasant-
ness to the patient.
ArpLe JeLLy.—Use fair, sour ap-
ples. Slice them, skins, seeds and all,
and simmer with one-half a cup of wa-
ter till well cooked and soft. Then
strain through a cloth, add a pound of
sugar to a pint of juice, boil a tew mo-
ments, skimming till clear ; then pour
into glasses, and cover when cold.
Have you yet realized what a pleas-
ure it is to go into a clean, newly white
washed hen-house ? A good time to
clean up is now, then again later in
October. This will keep things look-
ing clean and attractive ; the outside
buildings should be painted, the inside
white-washed. Whitewash the in-
side anyway.
——A most valuable little book which
should be in every household, has been
prepared by the proprietors of Mellin’s
Food, entitled “The Care and Feeding
of Infants.” It contains advice that
every mother will find of the greatest
value and assistance in feeding her
child. Mailed free upon application to
the Doliber-Goodale Co., 41 Central
‘Wharf, Boston, Mass.
Frax-SEED SYRUP FOR CoLDS.—Boil
flax-seed until water becomes slimy,
then strain, sweeten with powdered
rock candy and juice of fresh lemons.
Dose, wineglassful when cough is trou-
blezome.

It is only those who
eat—tihe 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 aown 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-
slantials; 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 ithe 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.
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 bring italong.
