Demortalic Wald "Bellefonte, Pa. February 3, 1891. Farm Notes. The farmer who does not breed up his stock and retain his calves for the dairy makes a mistake. One of the greatest sources of loss is ‘the practice of buying fresh cows and selling off the dry ones. When a cow is bought nothing is known of her until she is tested for her results. She may have many faults. and may bring disease into the herd. Abortion in some berds is due to this cause, as it is known to be contagious. A well-bred cow, rais- ed on the farm from healthy, produc tive stock, is more valuable than two animals purchased at random, and can be raised at less expense than to buy an inferior animal. Mauvuring cropsin the hill is simply to concentrate the fertilizer in a small space. Such a plan will answer ifthere is an insufficiency of the material used, but as the roots of plants spread over a large area, in search of food, it is bet- ter to broadcast all manures and fertil- izers, thus not only giving greater feed- ing capacity to the roots, but also per mitting of a more intimate incorpora- tion of the ingredients with the soil dur- ing cultivation of the crop. It would be a valuable lesson to each farmer if the experiment was made to endeavor to learn how much one acre would produce. By experi- menting on a small plot, sparing no ex- pense or labor in.the effort to test the capacity of the land, the fact would be made plain that many farmers are wasting capital and labor on too much land. Manure that is only sufficient for one acre is of but little value when spread over ten acres. As the spring opens the orchards will require cultivation ‘and fertilizers, The best fertilizers for all kinds of fruit crops are those abounding largely in potash, such as ashes and wmuriate or sulphate of potash. Bone meal is also excellent, and nitrate of soda gives good results, especially on small fruits, bat the most important ingredient of the fertilizer is potash in some for. Small potatoes, though not so attrac- tive in market, are just as valuable on the farm as those that are large. They can be cooked and fed to cows, hogs or poultry, and will provide an agreeable change of food for them. If turnips are added to the potatoes and a small quantity of bran sprinkled over the mess the whole will he improved, as well as more highly relished. The food that is purchased and brought on the farm is so mueh man- ure added to the land. Many farmers experience but little gain in the sale of extra milk or butter, but they become richer in the increased fertility of the soil, due to the better quality of the manure applied, although such results may not be apparent for several years. If you cannot grind or pulverize the old bones you can reduce them by lay- ing them in wood ashes, and keeping the mass damp (not wet). A small quantity ot urine, poured over the bones and ashes occasionally, will hast- en the decomposition of the bones. If you cannot do this bury the bones around the fruit trees and grape vines. A New York farmer raised an acre of suntlowers for seed, and found that the seed was an excellent addition to grain for the use of hogs and poultry, a small mill being used to grind it for hogs. The stalks made excellent kind- ling-wood and the heads and seeds were ground together. Old strawberry beds are mulched when the ground is frozen, and then burned over clean. It does not harm the plants, but clears off the ground and causes the plants to come up in better condition in the spring. Itisa method now highly recommended by some fruit growers. A herd of 18 cows in Vermont pro- duced 162 pounds of butter per year for each cow. The amount is not a large one, compared with the records of noted cows, hut it is excellent for a herd, and shows what dairymen can do by using well-bred cows and giving them proper care. Corn land should be plowed early, in order to expose the cutworms, and the seed should be planted as soon as the season permits. A week's early start with corn gives itan advantage in securing root growth and resisting the effects of drought, Large crops are grown at less cost than small crops, as the same labor of cultivation is required in both cases, while the extra manure that may be applied will either increase the crop or remain in the soil for another season. Your fine spring of pure, delicious water may drain a graveyard a long distance away. Always endeavor to know something about the drinking water, and from whence it comes. As a safeguard against the borer some fruit growers use fine wire mos: quito netting, wrapping a small piece around. the body of the tree a few inches above and below the soil. In this section young pigs will get a good start for spring if kept warm, and will grow rapidly as soon as the weather opens, but they will need care during the cold days. Begin now and scatter air-slaked lime around the grape vines, first clean ing up all the debris of last year, and you will thus assist in preventing the rot next season. Poultry droppings should be mixed with the manure trom animals, and it will then keep better and give better results. An animal raised on the farm is al- ways more valuable than one purchas- ed, and it does not introduce disease. Give the colt a good mess of ground oats twice a day it you wish him to grow fast and develop. —— Consumption of Ties. Assuming the entire railroad system of the United States to be 160,000 miles, as appears from “Poor's Manual,” with the addition of the lines in construction during the current year, aud taking 2,640 ties per mile, we have in use at least 422 400,000 ties. The life ot these ties varies according to their quality and the climatic conditions ; but in the East where only the best ties are employed, the average life is found about six years, while in the West, where the poorer quality of timber often has been accept- ed, and where dry rot and other disad- vautages have to be contended with, the average life {> rom three to five years ; so that even after allowing for a few | exceptional cases in which ties may last | ten years, the average life of ties all ov- er the country cannot be counted at more than five years. It follows, there- fore, that the annual consumption must be about 84.500,000, which, with steady increase of railroad building, must soon exceed 100,000,000—a gigantic demand to be satisfied from our forest each year, when we consider the many other calls upon them, and the fact that at present virtually nothing 1s being done by the government or the people to replenish our source of supply.— Pacific Lumber- man.

When our boy was six weeks old he had a rash on his cheek. I spread on both cueeks and chin. His face was raw. I doctore! with various remedies, but it got no better. My mother advised me to try the Cuticura Reme- dies. Iused them faithfully, and in one week the Foy looked better. In one month he was cured, and now he is three years old and no signs of it returning. The child was so bad I had to tie him in a pillow-case, and pin his hands down so that he could not scratch his face. 1 cannot speak-too highly of the Cuticu- ra Remedies. 1 recommend Cuaticura when- ever I can.

It is not an uncommon thing to pay for a farm from the proceeds of one crop. It has all of the advantages of an old country in the shape of school, ehurch, market, postal and railway facilities, and all the chances of a new country in the way of cheap lands, rich soil and increase in values, It is one of the most fertile and promising regions in America not yet fully occupied.
