Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 7, 1891.
Farm Notes.
Clover bay should always be put in
the hay-mow, and never stacked. It
will not endure exposure in winter,
Early varieties are not always the
best in quality, nor are they the most
prolific: No variety possesses all the
merits desired.
If you want a first-class price for
your honey use the best white poplar
sections, ship in six-pound crates, and
carefully remove all the bee glue from
the sections so that the comb will look
spick and span.
Any kind of grass is injured if it is
allowed to become too ripe before cut-
ting it for hay. After the seeds are
formed and matured the hay contains
an undue proportion of woody fibre and
a loss of nutriment occurs.
Great as the fruit crop of this season
may be thereshould be a large demand
as the short crop of last year did not
permit of canning fruit to any extent,
bence the canuers of fruit will require
a larger supply than ever before.
Soil and isitnation have a great deal
to do with the merits of strawberries.
I got some of the Belmont several years
ago and gave them the same care as a
dozen or two of other kinds, and I now
have tosay that a more worihless kiod
I never grew.
The more thought andscare a farmer
gives to live stock—cattle particularly
—the better his general farming is pret-
ty sure to be. Horses are sometimes
petted and given extra care by poor
and shiftless farmers, but such farmers
rarely take much pains with cows.
It is a sordid view which estimates
rural beauty solely by its money value,
but it is worth while to remind the own-
ers of real estate in (he country that,
even 1f rural scenery fails to make any
moving appeal to their own sense ot
beauty, there are other people who
prize it.
The arsenites—london purple. paris
green and white arsenic—-are of the
greatest service against all maadibu-
late insects, as larvae and beetles, and
they furnish the most satisfactory means
of controlling most leaf feeders, and the
best wholesale remedy against the cod-
lin moth.
The best time to cut Hungarian is
when it isin full bloom ; if left till the
seeds ripen the stems are worthless
and the seed is thought by some to be
injurious to cattle. However this may
be, there is no doubt that the crop 1s
in its best condition for fodder when in
full bloom.
Rhubarb beds are ofter. damaged by
too close cropping. The leaf stocks
must not be pulled too closely, or the
plant suffers. Many gardeners make
two beds, one of which is left untouch-
ed every season, and it is a very good
plan. Rhubarb likes plenty of well-
decayed manure.
Cultivation to produce the best fruit
is as essential to fruit-growing as to
grain-growing. Who would think of
growing a crop of corn without cultiva-
tion? Yet it is almost universally the
case that the orchard takes care of it-
self. Fowls and pigs running in an or-
chard at proper times is beneffcial to
the orchard.
It is claimed that the French methoa
of plunging potatoes for ten hours into
a 2 per cent. solution of commercial
sulphuric acid, and afterward drying
them, destroys their germinating quali-
ties, without other injury, and keeps
them sound and fresh for a year.
Sprouting always injures potatoes.
The free application of lime and
ashes to the entire ground and the use
of salt around the trees will assist greaty,
ly in heading off insects and wornis
that greatly injure the orchard. Feed
the orchard--keep the soil mellow and
it will reward the effort with an abund-
ant supply of perfect and healthful
fruit.
While the crops that are held back
for higher prices may sell to better ad-
vantage later on, do not lose sight of
the fact that every day causes a loss of
weight. All crops are composed large-
ly of water, and a portion of this water
is constantly evaporating. This is
made apparent by the fact that old seed
is drier than that which is new.
If the pastures are short sow a plot
of Hungarian grass and turn the stock
on it ag soon as it is high enough, in
order to give the pasture time to recu-
perate. Any kind of green crop will
answer for a change. When caitle are
changed from the regular pasture,how-
ever, give clover hay at night, as sud-
den changes will cause a falling off in
milk.
Cuttings from tomato plants, found
growing at first frost, may be rooted
during the winter in a cold frame or in
some sheltered place where the ground
is not too wet and transplanted in the
spring. Such plants will bear earlier
than those planted under glass in Feb-
ruarv. The plants will be more stocky,
and consequently need less support.
Public watering troughs and the feed
boxes of boarding stables and the tav-
ern stables of market towns are among
the most common recipients for the
virus of glanders, which is most dan-
gerousin its fresh state, but cases have
been known to be caused by feeding
animals in the box or stall in which
glandered animals had stood more than
a year before.
It is much better to spread all man-
ure on the land as fast as it accumu:
lates than to allow it to become over-
heated in the heap during very warm
weather. The heating of the heap al-
lows portions to become soluble, which
heavy rains wash aways. When man-
ure is spread on land it is best to apply
it after plowing or cultivating, as some
lands permit of the soluble portions be-
ing carried away when the surface is
too hard ghould a few heavy rains oc-
cur.
A Long Time Between Drinks.
The Incidents That Led Up to the Fam’
ous Saying.
From the New York Eevening Sun.
Every man in the United States is
supposed to know what the ‘Governor
of North Carolina said to the Goveinor
of South Carolina,” but possibly some
do not know when and under what cir-
cumstaces the famous remark was made.
Nearly a century ago a man prominent
in political affairs in North Carolina
moved across the border and settled in
South Carolina. He had been there
only a short time when he committed
some small crime or misdemeanor, for
which he was indicted. To escape ar-
rest he returned to his old home in
North Carolina. In due course of time
the Governor of South Carolina issued
his requisition on the Governor of North
Carolina for the fugitive criminal,
The fugitive had rich and influential
friends in his native State, and they in-
terceded with the Governcr until he re-
fused to grant the requisition. A long
official correspondence followed. Promi-
nent men in South Carolina told the
Governor that he had not been treated
with proper official courtesy by the
Governor of North Carolina. The re-
sult was that the South Carolina Gover-
nor, accompanied by a large party of
friends and advisers, journeyed by stage
to Raligh, the capitii of North Carolina,
for a conference with the Governor
about the matter of giving up the crimi-
nal.
The Governor of North Carolina, with
a large party distinguished friends, met
the Governor of South Carolina several
miles from town and escorted them to
the Governor’s mansion with all the
ceremony due such distinguished visi-
tors. Before the object of the visit was
stated the entire party sat down to an
elaborate dinner. After dinner wine
was served and after wine brandy—the
applejack for which the old North State
is famous. After many rounds of drinks
the decanters and glasses were remved
and the Governor of South Carolina
stated the object of his visit. He de-
manded the return of the fugitive crimi-
nal. The Governor of North Carolina
refused. Then followed a long and heat-
ed discussion, in which the Attorney
Generals of the two States took an ac-
tive part.
Finally the Governor of South Caro-
lina grew angry, and, rising to his feet,
he said: ‘Sir, youn have refused my
just demand and offended the dignity of
my office and my State. Unless you at
once surrender the prisoner I will return
to my capital, call out the militia of the
State, and, returning with my army, I
will take the fugitive by force of arms.
Governor, what do you say ?”
All eyes were turned on the Governor
of North Carolina, and his answer was
awaited with breathless interest, The
Governor rose slowly to his feet and
beckoned to a servant who stood some
distance away. His beckoning was firm
and dignified, as became his position.
He was slow about answering, and
again, the Governor of South Carolina
demanded : “What do yousay ?”
“I say, Governor, that it’s a long time
between drinks.”
The reply restored good humor. De-
canters and ‘glasses wera brought out
again, and, while the visitors remained,
if any one attempted to refer to the dip-
lomatic object of the visit he was cut
short by the remark that it was a long
time between drinks.
When the visiting Governor was rea-
dy to return home he was escorted to
the State line by the Governor of North
Carolina, and they parted the best of
friends.

All He Could Eat for Ten Cents.
A young Bostonian visiting this city,
and who thought himself very smart,
was easily sold by an old “gag.” Pre-
tending to be something of an epicure,
he was praising the sea products found
near the Hub, when a Philadelphia
lawyer remarked: “But youshould eat
our oysters. They would knock you
silly. Why, I can give you all the
Philadelphia oysters you can eat for
ten cent!”
The Bostonian bet fifty dollars on
his reputation as an oyster eater. So
one evening, after a period of semi-star-
vation to fit himself for the contest, he
and the lawyer went to a well known
oyster saloon not far from Broad and
Chestnut streets. The lawyer threw a
dime on the counter, and told the oys-
terman to go abead. Ten oysters were
opened and rapidly consumed by the
Bostonian. His mouth watered for
more, but the lawyer declined to order
them, claiming he had won the fifty
dollars. A storm of reproaches greeted
him, in the midst of which he calmly
remarked: “My dear boy, have you
not had all the oysters you can eat for
ten cents? Ask the man. He won't
give you any more for the money.’'—

Among the inventions that com
mend themselves to public notice dur-
ing the last filty years gre thaze relat
ing to coffins, graves and burials. One
of these is intended to furnish the ten-
ant of a grave who has been buried
prematurely with a means of escape or
arousing the neighborhood. This in-
vention is a simple affair, being merely
an open tube provided with a rope lad-
der and a bell and cord. Should the
occupant of the coffin awake from the
trance he could climb the ladder and
make his way back to the world, or
pull the bell and alarm the township.
For those whose only fear is that they
may not be allowed to rest undisturbed
a considerate inventor has provided a
“tcrpedo grave,” which, if disturbed,
explodes at once and scatters the van-
dals to the winds — Chicago Times.

A Terror to Road Agents.
Stephen Venard, famousas a hunter
of highwaymen, has died at the county
hospital after a lingering illness, at the
age of sixty-seven years. He came to
Nevada City from Ohio in the early
fifties and engaged in merchandising.
Subsequently he mined and did police
duty here, and was for a time engaged
in cattie raising in Nevada.
Oa the morning of May 15, 1866, the
stage from North San Juan to this city
was stopped a few miles from here by
George Shanks, alias Jack Williams,
Bob Finn, alias Caton, and George W.
Moore, who captured $7.900. Venard,
who participated in the chase a few
hours later, came up with the highway-
men in one of the wildest and most in-
accessable postions of South Yuba
canon, where they divided the spoils.
An encounetr ensued, in which Vanard,
with a rifle, killed all three, and escaped
unhurt.
Governor Low appointed him lieuten-
ant.colonel on his staff for meritorious
service in the field, and the Wells-Fargo
Express company presented him with a
valuable rifle, He was a man of modest
demeanor, thoroughly temperate, of the
strictest probity, and not afraid of any-
thing.

Sunshine in the House !
“I'm weary with work I” the good wife sighed;
“But after all,” she said,
“It's swaet to labor for those we love—
No wonder that maids will wed.’
A wise housewife lights her toil and
giaddens the home circle by her cheer-
fulness. But health is the first requis-
ite, and her just prerogative. Health
follows the use of Dr, Pierce’s Favorite
Psescription, which repairs the ravages
caused by those peculiar: diseases which
afflict womankind. It enriches the
blood, cures the cough, increases the
flesh, prevents hysteria, nervousness and
low spirits, and is a veritable fountain of
health to women, young and" old. Sat-

Treatment of Face Moles.
A hairy mole which is still growing
should be removed at once, even at the
risk of some injury to the skin. Itis
now probably no more than a plexus of
capillary vessels, with only a small sup-
ply of connective tissue. There is also
a likelihood that it has not yet involved
the skin. If this be its condition, the
skin over the tumor may be reflected in
flaps, and the tumor itself strangulated
with a ligature in one of the usual ways.
The flaps should them be replaced, and
the result will be & minimum of cicatrix
and deformity.
But if the nevus be allowed to grow,
it will become a large, highly vascular,
rectile tumor, jprobably§ invading and
involving the skin, liable to profuse
hemorrhage if injured ; yet still quite
amenable to treatment, though of a less
simple kind. The modes of treating
navi are numerous, and are continually
increasing.

Hawkers and Peddlers.
What ear-splitting cries we hear daily
in the streets of every large city! But
the ¢ itinerant dealers who hawk their
wares about are, when under proper re-
strictions, a useful portion of the com-

A NATIONAL GUARD SENTRY.—At
the State camp a big German was doing
sentry duty. The countersign, Lafay-

sounding of “taps” a figure was seen by
the German sentry 10 come out of the
darkness and toward the post he was
patrolling. Then came the cry, not
“who comes there? Halt!” but “who
ish dot dat comes py me ? Sthop !”’
“Friend,” was the reply.
“Come on, friendt, und if you don’t
say ‘Lafeet’ I von’t let you pass.”
The friend passed safely,
