"Bellefonte, Pa., July 3I, 1891. Farm Notes. Breeding too young is a leading cause of both hogs and sheep deteriorating. The offspring are weak and often sickly. Good mutton makes one of the best, if not the best, fresh meats that the farmer can secure to use during the sumnier. If the tomato vines are too thick to admit sunlight and air cut away some of the brauches, or rot may appear in the fruit, If by conveniences, five minutes work can be saved each time the milk- ing and feeding is done, it will amount to six full days of ten hours each in a year. Sheep properly pastured on land and fed when necessary will gradually build up the fertility much better and ata less cost than with almost any other class of stock. If one can fit their rotation to this end, the best use that can he made of the manure is to apply it to growing clover, and then let the clover feed all other crops. Do nat let the grass get too ripe be- fore cutting. There is very little sub- stance in, the dry, woody stems often sold for hay. Cut clover and the grasses as they begin to flower. Professor Riley, the entomologist of the National Department of Agricul- ture, 1n his “Insect Life,” recently is- sued, speaking of the gypsy moth says : “We are firmly of the belief that an energetic effort, at whatever cost to stamp it out entirely,is justified.” Good-flavored food is necessary in order to procure good-flavored butter. A sharp competition at a Maine fair was once decided in favor of a young dairyman who, it was subsequently learned, had picked bright clover heads each day for the pet Jersey that was giving the milk. The danger incident to use of arsen- ites against insects finds new illustra- tion in the case of the man whose flesh was pierced by a rose-thorn on a bush | that had been sprayed, presumably with Paris green or London purple. A news item says: “The doctors had to work busily to avert blood poisoning. Foods that aid digestion, though they may not be as nutritious as the more concentrated food, are more yal- uable than for the nutrition contained only. Roots which consist largely of water promote digestion and regulate the bowels, thus performing a service which adds to their value as a whole. Mr. John J. Thomas, seeking to im- press the importance of preventing ex- haustion of trees and promoting hand- some fruits, advises such thinning, while yet small, as will leave medium apples and pears not nearer each other than six inches, larger ones at least eight inches apart, and peaches five to six inches. If the lawn had in the beginning a good, rich soil beneath it, it may be kept up indefinitely by the use of wood ashes alone. The use of manure on the lawn about the dwelling house is of- fensive, and need not be resorted to if ashes can be had. Apply the ashes with a sieve early in spring, and once or twice thereafter it they seem to be needed. Potash fertilizers are especially val- uable for all fruit trees and plants, and for this purpose few things are equal to unleached wood ashes. Where these cannot be procured at reasonable rates and in the desired quantities, the available manure may be supplement- ed by muriate of potash or kainit. Bearing orchards deserve liberal treat- ment in this respect, and will well re- pay it. The effort of seeding calls for all the powers of a plant, and to weaken a plant it should be cut back, which com- pels it to make .new growth, or a re- newed effort to produce seed. If it is not convenient, then, to plow up the weeds, cut them down, which will eith- er destroy them altogether or so weak- en them as to render them less inju- rious. Always prevent weeds from seeding. Two cows at the Ewell Farm, Spring Hill, Tenn., recently made the follow- ing record: For the week ended June Oth, Sorina, 42,993, gave 217} pounds of milk which churned 15 pounds 11 ounces of well-worked and salted but- ter. Sheis 3 years old. For the week ended June 17th, Sassanda, 50,075,gave 212 pounds of milk which churned 16 pounds 4 ounces of well-worked and salted butter. : The loose covering afforded the soil when the cultivator is used in the corn- field prevent evaportion of the mois- ture, thus retaining it for the plants. Shallow cultivation that does not in- jure the roots of corn, but which leaves an inch or two of loose dirt,as a mulch will prove of greater value to the corn than to plow or cultivate to a greater depth. Loose earth serves as a pro- tection in times of drought, Old hay and new hay should not be mixed together in stacks or in the barn, as recent discoveries show that numerous emall brown worms web the dried stems and leaves and feed upon them. Before storing new hay the barn should be thoroughly cleaned. It may be necessary to burn old hay that is thickly intested with such worms. A clean hay mow should be used for new hay. Be careful about the sheep pens dur- ing warm weather. It is necessary to have pens into which they may go for shelter during storms, but should not be housed in these at night unless they are dry and well ventilated. Nothing is worse for sheep, more quickly indue- ing disease, than over-warm pens,which of neceseity become damp and foul. Cleanliness is perhaps more essential for sheep than for any other class of live stock. Alligator Products. Besides the hides of the alligators, of which fifty or sixty thousand are an- ‘nually utilized in the United States, there are other commercial products ob- tained. The teeth, which are round, white and conical, and as long as two joints of an average finger, are mounted with gold orsilver, and used for jewelry trinkets and for teething babies to play with. They are also carved into a va- riety of forms such as whistles, buttons and cane handles. This industry is car- ried on principally in Florida. Among the Chinese druggists, as stated in the Journal of the Society of Arts, London, there is a great demand for alligator’s teeth, which are said to be powdered, and administered as a remedy. As much as a dollar a piece is paid by them for fine teeth. All the teeth of the alli- gator are of the class of conical tusks, with no cutting or grinding apparatus ; and hence the animal is forced to feed chiefly on carrion, which is ready pre- pared for his digestion. Other commer- cial products of the alligator are the oil and musk pods. The tail of an alliga- tor of twelve feet in length, on boiling, furnishes from fifty to seventy pints of excellent oil, which in Brazil is used for lighting and in medicine. The oil has been recommended for the cure of quite a variety of diseases. It has a high re- putation among the swampers as a rem- edy for rheumatism, being given both inwardly and outwardly. the croco- diles and alligators Doses four musk glands--Two situated in the groin, and two in the throat, a little in advance of the fore legs. Sir Samuel Baker says they are much prized by the Arab wo- men who wear them strung like beads upon a necklace. Not a Popular Coin. The Half Dollar Has a Way of Get- ting Back to the Treasury. New York Times. There is one unpopular coin issued by Uncle Sam. It 1s the halfdollar, and it has a tendency to work its way back into the treasury vaults, where it isn’t wanted. As money, nobody objects to the half, but the popular fancy if for the same value in another form. That is, the average citizen prefers to have two quarters, This may not seem to be a very important matter, but it counts in the long run. Little by little the halves find their way back to the government vaults, and there they stay, like poor re- lations. In fact, so far as coming home in disgrace goes, the half dollar is the prodigal son of the mints. A very large proportion of the $20,000,000 ot frac- tional silver on hand at Washington is made up of halves. This is the lot which Secretary Foster was so anxious to get rid of, and about which he talked with the New York bankers when: he made his visit here. Nobody then manifested any wild desire to take the secretary’s load off his shoulders. 1t is probable that a good many of the halves stored uplin Washington will be recoined into quarters and dimes. In that way they will be more convenient for popu- lar use. And Mr. Foster will sleep more comfortable o’ nights—which will be a good thing,and a benefit all around. Of course lots of halves are used, and will continue to be used. Their coin- age will be kept up and nobody will have uny more difficulty in getting them than usual. But the proportion of other coins will be increased because the people like them better. Peace JeELLY.—Remove the skins from one dozen peaches(or apricots of a good size if peaches are unobtainable) and put them ina stoneware jar, with just enough water to cover them. Let those put in last be loosely packed, so that the steam may escape; set in a pot of warm water on the fire and bring to a boil, not forgetting to add a few peach kernels to give fiavor to the fruit. Cook until the fruit is tender. Have ready in a bowl halfa packet of good gelatine, soaked]in the requisite amount of cold water, and strain in the peach pulp boiling hot. Stir until the gelatine 1s dissolved, strain again through a flan- nel bag, being careful not to shake the mixture during the process. Wet a mold with cold water, pour in the jelly, and set in a cold place until required for use. A syllabub served with the jelly is a great improvement. “Shut Your Mouth.” George Catlin wrote a pamphlet en- titled “Shut Your Mouth,” to show the bad effects of breathing through the op- an mouth. Hedid not tell us how to keep the mouth shut during sleep. I have seen an apparatus imported from abroad, at a cost of seventy-five cents, patented, like a headstall of a bridle, to put on at night. * I take a clean white-cotton string, fif- teen or twenty inches long, put tke middle part of it in my mouth and tie it loosely on my neck, just behind my mouth, ny lipsand tongue seize it and hold it as long as itis in my mouth. This process is net patented and costs nothing. me ee semen Coorn.—!‘Please, sir, can’t you give me an old coat?’ asked a mendicant of a wealthy merchant. As the mendicant had formerly been the servant of the merchant the latter said: “Go over to the clothing store and pick your self out a $12 suit and I'll come and pay for it.” : The mendicant did as he was told. Taking the clothing store man to one side, he said to him: “That old duffer sent me over to pick out a suit of clothes, Now, I want you to let me have my commission, so I,too, will make something by this little trade.” Too SUGGESTIVE.—“You've got a fel- low in there that won’t wait on me again, I think,” said an irate customer as he entered from the dining room and slapped his check down before the hotel clerk. “What's the trouble, sir ?”’ asked the clerk. . “I'm not stingy,” said the customer, “and don’t mind giving tips : but when a waiter hangs round when a fellow is nearly through his dinner and whistles : ‘De Not Forget Me,’ I think it is about time something was done.” The offer of a five-cent cigar seemed to wonderfully pacify the enraged cus- tomer. A Trillion Kisses. Warning to Lovers Likely to Under- take Big Con tracts. The case of the Plymouth man who had his love letters produced and read in court should teach other lovers modera- tion in the making of osculatory con- tracts. In a single postscript the Plymouth man undertook to deliver to the lady of his choice no fewer than 1,000,000,000,- 000 kisses, and as such contracts are not infrequently made in love letters it may be well to give a thought to the magni- tude of the undertaking. Whoever will take the trouble to fig- ure it out will find that even if this amorous Southernershould give the lady 15,000 kisses a minute (and we affirm that no persona could hope to do more than that,) and even if he could keep up this rate of osculation 24 hours a day, never pausing to sleep, eat or take a breath, working 365 days every year, it would take him more than 100 years to complete the contract, and by that time it is painful to reflect, the ardor of his love may have cooled. Even at the end of 100 years, counting 15,000 kisses a minute, there would re- main an undelivered balance of 200,- 000,000,000, a number which in itself might appal the most industrious. We therefore feel constrained to ad- vise writers of love letters not to under- take contracts of such magnitude. Lives of others oft remind us Married life may be sublime. ‘We trust to be forgiven this parody of lines from Longtfeliow’s immortal “Psalm of Life.” Husbands who are wise and thoughtful, know that the hap- piness of the home depends largely on the health of the mistress of the home. Many are the tasks which daily confront her. How can a woman contends against the trials and worries of house- keeping, if she be suffering from those distressing irregularities, ailments and weaknesses peculiar to her sex?

Printed organdi muslins, on plain or spotted grounds, are the favorite ma- terials this season for young ladies’ gar- den party and country dresses. It is a long time since la sainte mous- seline has been so popular as it will be this season, and one can but rejoice that so pretty, simple and fresh a mate- rial should be once more in favor. The patterns are either light sprays of flowers 1n shades of one color orsingle leaves, beautifully shaded, and scattered in careless fushion, as it blown on to the surince of the material. The economy of muslin dresses is of course a doubtful point, tor although cheap to buy, the laundress take care that they snall be expensive to wear. However, the great facts remain that printed muslins are very fashionable and very pretty. The Bird of Wisdom.

Prepare bread and butter for the sandwiches, and lay the tomato slices between the slices of bread. Thin slices of cacumber may be added with advantage. REAR is Sos ——Rheumatism is undoubtedly caused by lactic acid in the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous tissues, and causes the pains and aches in the back, shoulders, knees, ankles, hips, and wrists. Thousands of people have found in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a positive cure for rheumatism. This medicine by its purifying action, neutralizes the acidity of the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the whole body. ——My catarrh was very bad.
