Bellefonte, Pa., May 29, 1891. Farm Notes. The best bred animals are the most costly, but they bring the best prices when stock is to be sold. Quality is a factor that cannot be overlooked. Cows are like other animals, and even men and women. They need fresh air, sunlight and exercise—not horse-racing exercise, but cow exercise, injwalkingjaround. An exchange says: “We can never hope for the blessing of uniformly good roads throughout the country until the care of them is delegatzd to skillful and competent hands.” A good garden, a good orchard and a quantity of poultry are of first econ- omy on a farm. Health and strength depend largely upon these articles of diet, and a farmer may and should sup- ply them himself. President J. D. W. French said at a meeting of the Ayreshire Association: “Milk records are good but more mis- sionary work among the farmers who worship at the shrine of the scrub bull will be better.” Why do not our dairymen grow more peas and beans, substituting the meal made of these for cottonseed meal? Ifit is not as good, it is nearly so, and enables the farm to come so much near- er to running itself. Dr. Peter Collier, Director of the New York Experiment Station, de- clares that the saving of the expenses of 1 cent a day on each cow in the State would amount to over $6,000,000 a year. We see by this how little things mount into large ones. The Jersey Bulletin tersely puts it in this way: “The shorter the time be- tween the cow and the counter, the bet- ter the price of butter, if it is good. Ripening and rotting begin and end with the same letters, but there is a world of difference between the two. Fine, rich compost, or rich earth, is the best fertilizer for flowers. Roses should be cultivated by raking the sur- face of the ground around them. It in- jures some varieties to stir the ground deep. Super-phosphate is an excellent fertilizer for shrubs and other hardy bloomers. - It is claimed, and we believe it is true, that pea meal or bean meal fed to cows at the rate of about two pounds of the meal to four of wheat! bran daily makes a most excellent grain ration. We ought to draw our nitrogen from the atmosphere instead of buying it; and this we can do by growing peas, beans and clover. Good ventilation for a milk-house, milk-cellar or dairy-room is most es- sential, and may be provided for by leading an air drain under ground for say 200 feet. Through it a supply of pure, fresh, cool air may be admit ted. The foul or warm air may be allowed to escape through ventilators or win- dows in or near the ceiling. Rural New Yorker's plan for destroy- ing the asparagus beetle is to go over the plantation as soon as the stems are a few inches above the ground and rub off the eggs. A single movement of the hand inclosing the shoots suffices. Do this again in a week, Then again in another week. There will be no larvee to destroy the plants. Mr. Jackson Dawson, 1n an admir- able article 1n the Garden and Forest, is of the opinion that by careful selection and hybridization the huckleberry may be developed into a most excellent fruit. He says the time will come when every garden will have its im- proved blueberries and raspberries. In answer to the subscriber who asks whether sheep should be fed tur- nips while carrying lambs we would say that the moderate feeding of tur- nips or other root crops at that time 1s not considered by good shepherds in- jurious to either sheep or lambs, but too heavy feeding of any root is. The same is true of ensilage, as far as the lambs are concerned. : Experiments made in France with the sunflower gave a freturn of 1778 pounds of seed from an acre, yielding 15 per cent, of oil (275 pounds) and 80 per cent. of cake. The product varies, of course, with the kind, the climate, the soil. The common oil is used chiefly for woolen dressing, lighting, and soap making in Europe. The pu- rified article is largely employed for ta- ble 28, and is considered equal to ol- 1ve oil, Churning cousists in uniting the but- ter globules or fat into a bunch and in- to a mass. When they are hard, and do not possess any or but little adhe- sive quality,they will not readily unite. This ie the trouble when the cream 1s cold. They will not stick together, All the feed of our cows was very car- bonaceous except the few quarts of wheat bran, and they needed the lin- seed meal to go with the bran to bal- ance the other foods. Do you want a good and cheap food for your hogs, one that will keep them in good condition, and make them grow? If so, keep them in pens and feed them on grass and weeds. At night give them a mess of ship-stuff (middlings) soaked in plenty of water, with a little salt to season it, and you will need no corn, bran or anything else, although a small quantity of milk once in a while will help. Make your pork from grass and weeds, as it can be done at littie cost. Much valuable time is often lost by & breakdown in a busy time, for no other reason than carelessness in hous- ing the broken im plement without at- tending to the repairs. How often a tongue is broken off a mower, binder or sulky plow, and the cause traceable to the reason mentioned. The tongues of all farm implements should be often well painted, especially on top. Re- | solve to erect as not to allow them to be exposed to another year’s storm. ! Phila, Pa. Cycling No Longer a Fad. The bicycle has come to stay. Itis not a craze-—one of the many thatsweep through the land like the latest fashion. It has established itself among the per- manent utilities. Of course it is not equally adaptedto every country, nor to every portion!of any country; but wherever the roads are goed and not too steep it will more and more come into practical use. Already bicycles and tricycles are ex- tensively used in England as economi- cal substitutes for horses, needing no barn, no feed, no grooming and no med- ical care. With such a machine the pastor easily makes his call in the most distant parts of his parish. The country doctor finds it still better suited to his needs, ready at the most sudden and urgent call, and able to wait at the patient’s door with no risk from cold however long the visit. ‘With its aid, too, the traveler ex- plores the country on roads far removed from railways, and in its most pictures- que parts. The bicycle must have a great future in the level west. The re- lation of good roads to its use is seen at Washingten, where many thousand bi- cycles noiselessly roll over the smoothly cemented streets. But the utility of the bicycle is not confined to the more practical ends of locomotion. It furnishes a new means of valuable exercise. This exercise is exhilarating. It isin the open air, and the rider is not forced to it for his health but drawn to it by anticipations of pleasure. AE TT TI EES IT The Chaplain Gave Back the Cards. “I had a rather remarkable exper- ience while I wasa chaplainin the army,” remarked one of the ministers at the’pastors’ union. “What was it ?” “I had been working and talking to the boys about gambling, and they fin- nally turned all their cards in thecamp over to me. The next day they were paid off. The following day I was pass- ing out and saw w blanket spread out with two lumps of sugar on one corner, and about half the mon®y To THE HUNGRY PUBLIC. 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 think use no- thing,—who they need nothing,—who live on expectation, hope or some intangible nothing, will save time by passing this column by. I: isnot 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 te 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- 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 the printer - to print this invitation 'for you to come and see us. Ifyou jlive 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 strengthless articles of diet.
