© Bellefonte, Pa. April 24, 189. Farm Notes. We ought to encourage men to set- tle on little tracts of land and grow fruits and vegetables and make homes for themselves. It is for the best inter- est of the Republic. There is danger of frost as late as the middle of May in this section, and frost has appeared as late as June. In putting in seeds of tender plants this risk must always be considered. A little ditch here and there or the cutting away of a ridge will often drain away the surplus water, Such work may not be but a few minutss, but will greatly facilitate the drying of the soil. Cut down the old plants of sweet alyssum that have been blooming dur- ing the winter. It will roon start a new growth and make fine plants. The cuttings should be placed in moist sand. It is always best to label everything you plant in the flower and vegetable garden, especially if there are several varieties of the same kind of flowers or vegetables, in order to avoid confusion later in the season. Cut-worms are much less trouble- some on land which has not been cov- ered with vegetation the preceding fall, and care in cleaning the ground as soon as crops can be removed is an assis- tance in contending with them. Strong colonies of bees only produce crops of honey. Weak colonies will not only fail to lay up a store but will be robbed by the stronger colonies. Labor will be saved by providing the bees with foundation combs in the hives. When the farmer fails to get the best growth possible on pigs while suckling he loses his greatest opportu- nity to make pork cheaply. It is a mistake to think that a pig must be four or five months old before it will pay to give 1t much care, S. H. Warren, ai the meeting of the Powfret, (Vt.) Farmers’ Club, recom- mended specialties in farming, He eaid that every farmer is better adapt- ed to some one branch of farming than any other, and should make a specialty of what he is best adapted to. Start the pansies in shallow boxes as early as you can. A temperature of 75 degrees will gnit them best. Use rich soil mixed with one-third sand. Transplant in the open air as soon as they are of proper size. Be sure and haveseveral colors if you wish to secure the most pleasing effect when they bloom. A rule for covering seeds is to add a covering four times the thickness of the seed. As some seeds are very small only a slight sprinkiing of the soil will suffice. If the soil is heavy seeds cannot push through if covered too much, and the consequence is not only a loss of the seed but also of time and labor. Flower seeds of the hardy kinds may be sown. Cover very lightly. One of the principal causes of loss in the fail- ure of flower seeds to germinate is too much covering. Simply brush them in.Select those varieties that|give ajsuc- cession of bloom, which is fully ex- plained in nearly all the catalogues of seedsmen. Work in the garden is very pleasant in spring, as the weather is then cool and the ground not very dry and bard. Ladies who make a specialty of flowers, or early vegtetables, will find the out- door work very beneficial. The chil- dren should each have a little plot for their own use also as a means of enjoy- ment. It is an easy matter to grow onions for pickling, as they should be of small size. Sow the seed very thickly in the rows, and use the mild Italian varieties, such as the Queen. These onions will also grow to large size, but for pick- ling the thick sowing of seed, so as to crowd the plants, will prevent rapid growth, Get your beds ready for the sweet potato plants and use only seed that is free from rot. It is best to procure seed from some section where the po- tato is not affected by rot, if possible. There are several forms of rot, one of them being generated in the soil. For this reason itis well to set out the plaats on a new location every year. Do not set the hens in damp loca- tions, as it is a mistake to suppose that moist nests are necessary for sitting hens. Such nests may answer for mid- summer, but at this season of the year the best results will be obtained in hatching when the hens have dry, warm, comfortable nests. When the chicks are out do not feed them for twenty-four hours, as they will require that period of time during which to fully absorb the yelk which nature provides as their first food. There is no necessity for keeping the hot-beds too warm. As long as there is no danger from sudden frosts or changes of weather give the plants as much sun and air as can be safely done. Hot-bed plants should be made "accus- tomed to the outside influence as much as possible while in the hot-bed, so that when they are transplanted they will not be checked in growth by the change. Should the hot-bed generate more heat than is desired make a few holes with a stick, in the soil of the hot bed, and pour cold water in the bo'es. The sugar-beet industry is destined at some time to be a leading one, and as the beet thrives in every State in the Union it will be a leading crop over a wide extent of territory. Every year the problems of beet growing and the making of beet sugar are being solved, but the surest mode of educating the farmers is for them to grow experimen- tal trial patches, keeping an account of the expense. The crop will always be worth more than its cost for feeding to stock, even if not used for producing ' fa ‘sugar. Facts about Bats. “It is a curious fact,’, said a naturalist to a Star reporter, ‘that bats have the power of directing their flight as well as if they saw, even when deprived of their eyes. Under such a conditions they will fly about a room with perfect ease, avoid- ing with accuracy the funiture and other objects against which they might be expected to strike. With an equal address blinded bats will shun the most delicate obstacles, even silken threads stretched in such a manner as to leave just space enough for them to pass with their wings expanded. © When the threads are placed nearer together, they will contract their wings in order to go between them without touching. “The reason for this is that the large membranous wings of the bat, which sustain him in strong and rapid flight and enable him to make abrupt turns in the noiseless pursuit of insect prey, are organs of touch of marvelous delicacy, being provided with most acutely sensi- tive nerve fibres at the roots of the fine hairs with which the winged membrane is covered. Through this perceptive means the amimal is warned of its ap- proach {o any object.”’-- Washington Star. A Power in the Land. Lift your hat reverently when you meet the teacher of the primary school. She is the good angel of the republic. She takes the little bantling, fresh from the home nest and full of his pouts and his passions, an ungovernable little wretch, whose own mother honestly ad- mits she sends him to school to get rid of him. This young lady, who knows her business, takes a whole carload of these anarchists, half of whom, single handed and alone are more than a match for both their parents, and at once puts them in the way of being use- ful and upright citizens. At what ex- pense of toil and weariness! Her’s is the most responsible position in the whole school, and if her salary were doubled she would receive less than she earns. er ———— ONE Bucr.—Is worth a column of rhetoric, said an American statesman.

When cold make into balls ; hollow out the inside and fill with minced chick made rather thick. Cover over with rice, dip the balls into the yelk of an egg, sprinkle over them some bread-crumbs and fry a nice brown. Before the rice cools add a little cream or milk. ——1I was a sufferer from a severe cold in my head for months and could get no relief. Wasadvised to use Ely’s Cream Balm.

Orr0 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 is not intended for them but the other fellows. We write what is here put down for the people who are morta 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 tc lay cut al. that they earn, to. appease their appetites. We have oeen 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- gide 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 snvihing eatable, eith- er as meats, fish, groceries, fruits, nuts, relishes, or in fact anything from apiece 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.
