_ lect and run through the wall. Bellefonte, Pa., June 12, 1891. Farm Notes. At the shearing of the Southern Michigan breeders, the ram Buckeye, 3 years old, weight 119, sheared 30 pounds, just 365 days growth. There is a drawback in the use of bells on sheep by reason of .greater excitability: A restless flock will run off more fat than the loss of ten sheep would amount to. As a rule hens learn to eat eggs from having them broken in the nest. Ia arranging the nests so that in getting in and out there will be little if any risk of the eggs being broken. No tree should be planted nearer a house than its length when full grown. Treesinot only moisten the air about them, but the earth also. Sunshine should have an access to the house at all times. Don't forget to start the cultivator‘or wheel hoe as soon as you can see the rows of plants in the garden ; take the weeds just as they break ground, or even before ; “nipped in the bud” they die easily. An 8 per cent. kerosene emulsion was used as a sheep dip at one experi- ment station in which to dip the sheep and it was fuliy proven that a good emulsion can be safely used for this purpose, even when sheep have consid- erable wool upon their backs. A horseman says in the New Eng- land Homestead that he gets out of the “trouble of drenching a horse by pour- ing the dose into a pail of water, re- serving a little to put into the horse's mouth. The horse then drinks the water to get the taste out of his mouth. In hatching ducks’ eggs under hens, the incubation differs from hens’ eggs only in the fact that ducks’ eggs pip at twenty-five to twenty-six days instead of nineteen as with chicks, and also that they generally pip from thirty-six to forty-eight hours before emerging from the shell. The introduction of labor-saving ma- chinery has not been an unmixed bless- ing. It has concentrated farm work, making the busy season busier and the dull season duller. It has not cheap- ened the expense of farming so much’ as might be supposed, for while it has decreased the amount of hand labor, it has increased the idle time of both the farmer and his help. The statistician of the Department of Agriculture has compiled the follow- ing statement: Corn during the past year aggregated 1,489,960,000 bushels ; wheat, 399,262,000 bushels; oats, 523.- 622,000 bushels. The December con- dition of the growing wheat crop was returned at 98.4, and of rye 99. This is better than the December returns for two years past, Many cellar stables are so damp and musty as to be entirely unsuitable for the housing of stock. This often comes from water draining in through the walls from the eaves on the upper side, or surface water that is allowed to col- This can be easily remedied by drawing away the surface water and placing spouting on the barn to carry off the drip. . The cheapest fence on lands which overflow, and where the posts heave out, is a hurdle fence made of wood, with the panels somewhat zig-zag, o it will not fall over, and the ends wired together. Such kind of fence can be had where lumber is cheap, as it can be made from the strips cut from boards which are straight-edged. and also from the slabs that can be obtained at the saw-mills. Dr. C. D. Smead, at a farmers’ insti- -tute, replying to the question, “In a hasement barn containing 2800 square feet, how many sheep can be wintered?” saip: “Calculate for merinoes four square feet for each sheep; for the coarse breeds allow at least six feet,and not as many in a pen as of fine wooled varieties. It is better to have the sta- ble divided into small pens than to have one large pen.” The most precious plant food in man- ure is its nitrogen compounds, because they are exported or carried off the farm, in the products sold, in larger quantity than eithor potash or phos- phate; because they are most easily lost from the manure or the soil through careless management of the manure or the feeding of the crops, and because it costs more to replace them when lost than to replace any other plant food. The green crop plowed under is com- posed of three chief parts. About four- fifths of it is water, or from 80 to 88: per cent.: about one-fiftieth of the whole, or 2 per cent., is composed of what are called the ash ingredients, and the rest is the so-called organic matter. really the most usefnl part cf the green mannre, makes up, therefore, ahont a twelfth of the whole mass put under the eround. - In a seven-vear experiment, the fol- lowing were the result: From reed of whole potatoes, large, 224.1 bushels; from seed of whole potatoes, small, 177 bushels ; from seed of stem end of po- tato, 148 bushels; from seed of seed | end of potato (period of six vears), 168 bushels; from one eve to hill, 81 bush- els: from two eves to the hill, 104 s; from three eves tothe hill, 160 bushels. the seed should be ripe. Damp houses and yards are where many of the poultry diseases originate, bushels ; and this is the prime canse of the dis- | agreeahle disease ot ronp, which is so very disastrous after it once gets a good start, and in fact, there is nothing more conducive to dizease and general disor- der among the fowls than to compel them to spend their time in damp quarters. A sandv soil is the best, as it absorbs the moistore and dries off quickly. This organic matter. which is | On a Supposition. “What's the matter hers ?’’ asked an officer as he came along to the house of a colored man on Beaubien street to find the man at the gate with a club in his hand at midnight. “Reckon somebody was a-trying’ to git in, sah,” was the reply. “Of co'se dey was!’ added his wife from the shelter of the doorway. “Robber ?”’ “Yes, sah !”’ “But, man, what on earth have you got in the house to tempt robbers?” «It hain’t what we has dun gotin dar, but what de robbers ‘spose dey’ll find.” “But what could they suppose ?*’ “Wall, sah, I was down at de bank to-day to see ’bout hittin’ a job. P’raps some robber seed me. P’raps he dun got de ideah datI draw out a thousand dollars in cash. Would’t dat bring him up here mighty sartin ?” “You'd better go in and go to bed,” advised the officer as he sauntered off. “Yes, sah; but not now, sah. We heard sunthin’ go woosh-biff-squash ! right by de front doah,sah, an we hain’t wine to lie still an’ let dem robbers git no bulge on us! Good-night, sah, but I'll circle aroun’ a bit wid dis club an’ let know I’ze prepared fur bizness.”’— Detroit Free Press. The Earth is a Hugh Dynamo. Every day the needle of the magnetic compass has been observed to sway first one way and then the other upon its pivot with no apparent cause, thus vary- ing from the meridian of a place. Scien- tists have for many years been trying to account for this. One of them has just published his theory of the cause of the disturbance. He ascribes it to electricity, assuming that the earth is whirling on its orbit between two mag- netic fields, and that the varying inten- sity of the current one way or the other produces the disturbance of the magnetic needle. The two magnetic currents, he believes, are streaming to us from the sun, one being produced by the corona, the other coming directly with the sun’s rays in straight lines. In cther words, according to this theory, electricity is generated by the sun. It reaches us the same way as sunlight does, and the con- clusion is that it is akin to, if not iden- tical with, sunlight itself. The revolv- ing earth 1s the gigantic dynamo which excites the electric currents and makes them manifest.—San Francisco KEx- aminer. A Ber’s FuNgraL.—-Two bees were observed to issue from a hive, bearing between them the body of a comrade, with which they flew for a distance of ten yards. Then, with great care, they ut it down, and selected a convenient hole at the side of the gravel walk, to which they tenderly committed the body, bead downwards, and then afterward pushed against two little stones, doubt- less in memoriam. Their task being ended, they paused about a minute, perhaps to drop over the grave ot their friend a sympathizing tear ; and then they flew away.- -Doll’s Dressmaker. ——1Is undoubtedly caused by lactic acid in the blood.

We have oeen in the hunger appeas- ing business for many, many years.
