Bellefonte, Pa., January 23, 189. “While agriculture is the first and noblest of the sciences,” stock raising is the right arm of agriculture. Buttermilk is something too valu- able for the pigs. Use it instead of water when making bread, and use 1t as a drink on the table. More attention should be paid to teaching young horses to walk fast than is done. A fast-walking horse is a desideratum not often met with. Do not keep the cream too long be- fore you churn. By waiting until enough cream is secured to make a churning bitter butter may be the re- sult. Dr. Hoskins, among the first pomo- logical authorities of to-day, says, in Orchard and Garden, that beauty in fruit is more important than size; but he thinks beauty and size are more important than very high quality. We know a man who makes his hens “hoe” his garden, at least par- tially. Ie makes a Jong box with slat sides and top which will just fit between the rows, and in this contrivance the heus are left to scratch to their hearts content, : An ill-fitting harness or collar will chafe or gall any horse, and any har- ness will do so when sweat and dirt are allowed to dry into the harness, which by degrees becomes brittle, hard and unyielding. All harness should be oiled at regular intervals. It literally makes one’s blood run cold to step into some stables and pens these cold days and see how little at- tention is given to the warmth of ani- mals. And yet they are expected to thrive and fatten just the same, Weather strips over crevices and straw for beds save feed. Cut straw can be used for so many different purposes, in the shape of bed- ding, as well as for food, that it really * possesses a greater value for the far- mer’s uses than the prices quoted for straw in the markets. No farmer should sell his straw. It is worth more on the farm than can be realized by its sale. The latest English returns show an increase in all its branches of live stock over last year. Compared with 1889, cattle have increased from 6,139, 555 to 6,008,632, a gain of 369,077 ; sheep from 25,532,020 to 27,272,459, and pigs from 2,510,803 to 2,773,600, a gain 0) 262,806. Remember that every time you add to the comfort of the cow you increase the flow of milk, not only theoretically but practically. The quality of the milk obtained, not only through judi- cious feeding but through cleanly bed- ding from first to last, is everything 1n the quality of butter obtained. Where calves are to be kept they do not get new milk a very long time; but the skim-milk should at least be warmed before feeding. If the calf is inclined to scour the milk should be scalded and then partly cooled. Oat meal, sifted and boiled to thicken it, makes an excellent feed for calves, mixed with as much skim-milk as can be spared. There are people who have been milking cows and making butter for forty years and yet know nothing about the philosophy of the business. There are beginners who, of course, know lit- tle or nothing about it; neither, per- haps, think much of the dairy as a farm industry. A thorough study of the subject would likely change the minds of both. If the young stock is expected to be strong and vigorous the first point is to secure vigorous parents. Like be- gets hike, and the tendency should be to have the youngstock better than the old stock on the farm. To do this se- cure new blood, avoid inbreeding, and discard all animals that are not hardy and vigorous. Guinea fowls will go into a house to roost if they have been accustomed to it, though they like to choose a place for themselves, and have a decided lik- ing for trees. Jt is necessay to keep them in pairs, as they are monogamous. They nearly always steal their nests. They are not remarkably belligerent, but it is not advisable to confine them with other fowls. Long warts on cows’ teats can be cured by clipping them off close to the skin, then coat the wound with pow- dered tulphate of copper. If the warts are broad and flat, moisten them with a strong solution of sulphate of copper. Before this application rub the corrod- ed surface with sand-paper, which pre- vents soreness. Warts are said to be contagious. Many a farmer is daily enviously complaining because he has not money enough to buy a lot of pure bred cows. To improve what he has by better feed- | ing and care, the use of green fodder crops when the pastures fail ana good winter keeping, and so on, would be | better for him in the end than a herd of cows costing $1000 — Northwestern Agriculturist. The quality of vegetables in winter depends much npon their fresirness. It | they are permitted to wither by expos- ure to a dry air, much of their crisp- ness ard flavor is lost. The two essen- tials are to keep them from freezing and from drying. ite 1s easy to all whohave good cellars; the latter requires the exercise of a lit- tle more knowledge and care. Fierce competition makes all men hustle if they would succeed. There is just as much cempetition in farming as in any other business, and it is the hustler who reads and studies and works who makes a success of his tarming or his stock raising. The ‘old-fashioned methods are playing out. They were good in their day and gen- eration, but they can’t compete with the fast-time methods of to-day. The former requis- | Her Work Nearly Done. There she sits, the old Christian moth- er, ripe for heaven. Her eyesight is al- must gone, but the splendors of the ce- lestial city kindle up her vision. The gray light of heaven’s morn has struck through the gray locks which are folded back over the wrinkled temples. She stoops very much now under the burden of care she used to carry for her children. She sits at home, too old to find her way to the house of God, but while she sits there all the past comes back, and the children who, forty years ago, trip- ped around her armchair with their griefs and joys and sorrows—these chil- dren are gone now, some caught up into a better realm where they shall never die, and others out in a broad world, testing the excellency of a Christian mother’s discipline. Her last days are full of peace, and calmer and sweeter will her spirit become until the gates of life shall litt and let the worn ont pil- grim into eternal springtide and youth, where the limbs never ache and the eyes never grow dim, and the staff of the ex- hausted and decrepit pilgrim shall be- come the palm of the immortal ath- lete.— Dr. Talmage, in New York Ob- server, A Generons Lord, Lord Tollemache, who died in Lon- don at the age of 82. was known as the best landlord in Great Britain. Al- though the most uncompromising of Tories, he divided his vast estates into small holdings, allotted three acres to each laborer for garden, grazing and tillage, demanded that a cow and a pig be kept, had his tenants taught butter and cheese making,. apd. allowed them time to cultivate their holdings, the re- sults of his liberal policy appearing in a large increase in the valuation of his property, and the most prosperous and contented tenantry in the United King- dom. - SympaTHETIC ORGANS.—Nature of- ten shows her kind helpfulness by bringing healthy organs to the relief of diseased ones. If one kidney loses its functional pow- er the other will enlarge and do the work of both. If both are more or less affected the vessels of the skin may come to their aid, and pour out on the surface what would otherwise cause fatal blo.d poiscning. On the other hand, when the pores are stopped by a chill the kid- neys come to the rescue and do a large part of the skin’s work. his explains why it is so dangerous for the sufferer from diseased kidneys to take cold. A Wary Fivave.—Good old Uncle Henry and 4-year-old Tom, his nephew, were in conference. Asked how he put in the time the small boy began with breakfast, hurried over play time to din- ner, then through more play to supper, and then paused in doubt. “Well, Tom, what comes after sup- er?” ask®ed his uncle. The boy’s big eyes looked fixedly into s pace, but his lips never moved. “Surely something comes after sup- per?” the elder repeated. “Y-e-e-s,”’ said Tom with a effort. “Well, what is it?’ “T get whipped mostly.” reluctant ——4Listed,”” as the brokers say, at” 100 Doses One Dollar,” Hood’s Sarsa- parilla is always a fair equivalent for the price.

I was in the war daring 1863-64, and took a heavy cold at Gettysburg, from which I never fully recovered. In 1875 I broke out in sores all over my chest and shoulder, whicn seemed impossible to cure. I tried all the tamed doc- tors 1 could find, and to no avail. I expended some five thousand dollars trying to find a cure, but could not, and finally giving myself up to die, my good wife suggested to me, one day, to try the Cuticura Remedies, which were so extensively advertised and used. I follow- ed her suggestion, and am happy to say by diligent application of your Cuticura Remedies for seven months I was entirely cured, after spending five vears of time and money with- out avail, and am a sound and well man to-day You may refer to me if you wish,as Iwill tell any one who may call on me my experience.
