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.

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.”’—

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.

oeen in the hunger appeas-

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-
stantial; and knowing this
there is nothing that is eat-
able, relishable or appetiz-
