Deworraic aoa Bellefonte, Pa., Feb.5, 1892, — Farm Notes. It is sate to assert that but few are aware of the richness of milk from some cows. It is reported that in thetest of the Jersey cow “ Landseer’s Fancy,” she made 2 pounds and 104 ounces of butter from 9 pcunds 43 ounces of milk. As a quart of milk isabout two pounds, her yield was a pound of but- ter from about 1} quarts of milk. At the same time, it may be noticed that while the cow produced 2 pounds and 10% ounces of butter she only produced about 43 quarts of milk. Whether it is an advantage to have a cow make a large yield of one product and but little of the other is a question being dis- cussed by the advocates of the rival breeds. The Holstein advocates claim that milk is a valnable product as well as butter, and that when a cow yields a large quantity of milk, and also pro- duces a large weight of butter, she is more valuable for that reason. When it is known that some Holsteins yield from forty to fifty quarts of milk daily, and are great butter producers as well, the claim is entitled to a consideration though the Jersey will still retain her many friends as one of the best butter producing breeds. A comparison of the records of some of the famous cows will no doubt be useful to some as demonstrating what is possible with cows as butter produ- cers. There is a strong rivalry between the Holsteins and the Jerseys in the production of butter, and each breed has its admirers. The Holsteins pos- sess the advantage of large size, the steers of that breed competing success- fully with the short horns and Here- fords as beef producers as the fat stock shows, which places them in the front rank as the best breed for beef, butter and milk combined, thus entitling them to the distinction of an “ all-purpose breed,” if such attainment is possible. The Jerseys are small, and are famous as butter producers, but cannot com- pete with the Holsteins in the produc- tion of milk. While some of the Jersey cows have reached high positions as record-break- ers when the tests were conducted un- der the auspices of interested parties, and which, perhaps, are correct, yet the public tests have been favorable to the Holsteins. At the test made at the great Madison Square Garden show, in New York, one of the Holsteins produ- ced 2 pounds and 7} ounces of butter in 24 hours, and another Holstein pro- duced a fraction over 2 pounds of but- ter in the same time. The highest yield for the Jerseys was 1 pound and 14% ounces. These records are not the highest, but they are the fairest, be- cause the tests made were in public, and with the two breeds in competition, both being ireat:d alike. The garden indicates what a farm may be. Some gardens, though but small areas, supply families with an abundance of vegetables and small fruits trom early spring until fall. This is due to the thorough cultivation and heavy manuring of the garden. Tt produces more per acre than will ten acres of field crops. When the whole land is as well cultivated and the land fed as liberally as the soil of the gar- dsn, the farmer will find that he has too much land, and that his produc- tions are large and profitable under all adversities of seasons. The discoveries of new varieties of strawberries is within the ability of every one who grows them. By sow- ing the seed, and carefully preserving and selecting the young plants, there will bea possibility of securing a va- riety much better than any known, but a large majority of the young plar ts will be worthless so far as qual- Ity of fruit is concerned. Nearly all of the best varities of fruit are acciden- tal discoveries from seedling growing in obscure locations. Tne asparagus bed is seldom made by sowing seed. When preparing a new bed procure 2-year-old roots, make a trench two feet deep and a yard wide, filling in the trench with as much manure as you can spare, for it cannot be used too liberally. Then cover with a few inches of dirt and place the plants 1n position, watering them copiously, and place them at least a foot apart, Mike the new td assoon as the frost is unt of the ground. Ordinary superphosphate is made by dissolving 100 pounds of bone with 40 pounds of cheap sulphric acid (oil of vitrol). The bone will then be con- verted into sulphate of lime (plaster) and the phosphoric acid of the bones set free, being then in a soluble condi- tion. The dissolved bones also contain a fair proportion of nitrogen. With the addition of potash to superphos- phate a fertilizer can be made which will be suitable for nearly all kinds of crops. The -annual clippings of Merino sheep will soon begin, and some heavy fleeces will be the result. The weight of the fleeces are usually reported in the unwashed condition. ~ It would be very interestingto many to have the correct weight of the fleeces after they have been thoroughly cleaned. Many ot the heavy fleeces contain more dirt, grease and otherundesirable substances than wool. When the hens refuse corn and al- low it to remain on the ground un- consumed, it is an indication that they desire a change of food. Withhold corn and allow oats, lean meat, and finely chopped clover. The greatest mistake made with manure is that of spreading it over too large a surface. Itis an impossibility to secure good results from manure that is spread over five acres that is barely sufficient for one. If you worry or iil treat the cow in any way the milk pail will tell of your sins. and the profits fail to appear.

But when the candle entered—I was cured!” Such complexicns as so many of our young ladies possess—dull, pimply, and covered with sores and blackheads, is enough to cool the arbor of the warmest lover, To such young ladies we would say, that you can never have a soft, fair, smooth, attractive, kissable complexion, unless your blood is healthy and pure, for the condition of the blood decides the complexion. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery will purify your blood, tone up your system. and drive away those distressing Jieadaches and backaches, from which you suffer period- ically, and give you a complexion a lily or rose-leaf might envy. France Has Become Atheistic. Paris, Jan. 26.—Cardinal Lavigerie, archbishop ot Algiers, has written a letter in which he announces his ad- hesion to the joint statement just issued by the archbishops of Paris, Toulouse, Rbeims, Lyons and St. Malo, com- plaining that the country has become atheistic. The statement of the arch- bishops has caused quite a stir in the religious circles of France. Catarrh in New England.

Leap Year Proposal. ri Odd Origin of a Curious Courtship Custom Colin Shackleford said: “Someone asked me the other day what was the origin of women proposing marriage during a leap year. I looked it up, and while it may not be new to all I dare say 1t will interest many. In the year 1288 a statute was published by the Scotch Parliament of which the following is a copy, aud is, to my mind, the,origin of the custom or idea. I do not know that it is a custom or even was: “ It is ordaint that during the reign of Her Maist Blessit Majestie Margaret, like maiden, ladee of baith high and low estate, hall hae liberty to speak to the man she likes. Gif he refuses to take her to be his wyf, he shall be mulct in the sum of ane hundredity doundis or less, as his estait may bee, except and alwais gif he can make it appear that he is betrotht to another woman, then he shall be free.’ ‘ After the dear old Margaret had passed away the women became clam- j orcas for their privileges, and to ap- It troubles the sinner and troubles the saint, ’ pease them another act of Parliament allowed them the privilege of every fourth, year.”— Chicago Tribune. . A homeopathist furnishes the follow- ing to the Chicago Tribune: “Get from your druggist or homeopathist 15 cents worth each of aconite and bela- donna in about the third dilution. Dose, adults, two drops in a teaspoonful of water, alternately, every thirty or sixty minutes, according to severity. Sweat freely twelve to fourteen hours; cool off and go to work. Will cure la grippe in thirty-six hours if taken in season. Equally as sure for pneu- monia. Keep it from the reach of your children. This dose is as harm- less as peppermint. For the sake of humanity, will the press please publish this throught the land.” With boots, if damp, it is a good plan to fill them with paper and leave to dry far away from the fire. Para- ffin is useful to soften leather hardened by mud and rain. To make the soles of boots rain-tight and durable, paint with copal varnish and dry. Repeat the process twice or thrice. ——Mr. Voorhees, of Indiana, who wears a 74 hat, has the largest head in Senate, and the session will show who hus the longest. ——Mr. John D.
