Farm Notes.
When using manure for hotbeds dis-
card all litter. Fresh horse manure is
bestgand it should be well tramped
down in the bed. To hasten the heat
moisten the manure with lime water.
Radishes are very hardy, and grow
quickly from seed. For an early sup-
ply sow the seed in a hotbed or cold
frame, They will be out of the way in
a short time, when something eise,such
as early cabbage, may follow.
For cuttings, 1n order to have them
root early, use burnt clay. This may
seem inappropriate, but in England the
clay is found superior to saad or loam,
as it is said to possess the property of
absorbing ammonia from the atmos-
phere.
The beautiful coleus plants, which
are used for ornamental borders and
for beding, are produced trom slips, but
they are also easily raised from seed.
Sow the seed early, in prepared boxes,
in the same manaoer as for other early
plants.
For cucumber forcing tie side shoots
at the second joint must be stopped and
the proper fertilization of the fruit blos-
soms must be looked after. Air must
be given, but care must be faken that
too much cold does not enter. From
65 to 70 degrees at night and from 70
to 80 degrees during the day, is the
temperature required.
For early plants a fertilizer solution
may be prepared which will be almost
a complete food for pot plants, or those
requiring special attention outside. It
may be mixed with earth, and used
around the roots also. Take one
pound each of phosphate of potash,
nitrate of soda, and sulphate of lime,
mix well and add a tablespoonful to
one quart of water.
It is a laborious task to apply liquid
manure to a strawberry patch, but it
will be an advantage, especially in a
garden patch, to select one row of the
plants for forcing. This is done by
applying liquid manure, two or three
times each week, around the plants.
Such plants should be grown in stools
rather than in matted rows. ‘Liquid
manure can be made by using the ur-
ine from the stalls, adding fresh horse
manure and diluting with water, if nec-
essary.
The hotbed and cold frame should
be made objects of special attention at
this season. The plants require
warmth, and air must also be pérmit- |
ted. Giving them fresh air at the |
proper time, and without injury, is |
something that requires good judg-
ment and clase attention. To raise the |
sash too earlp in the morning, or close
it to late in the afternoon, may check
the plants. The ‘outside temperature, |
the temperature of the hotbed itself
when closed, and the degree of growth
of the plants, are all to be considered.
The dairyman who ships milk to the
large cities is more interested in the |
yield and quality of the milk than in
the production of butter. In fact, at.
this age of the creamery system, the
farmers in some sections have discard-
ed the churn altogether, preferring to |
ship their milk to the cities, or sell it |
to the nearest creamery, and buy their
butter for home use. They require a
breed of cows with hardy consiitutiouns,
good appetites, deep milking charac- |
teristics, and possessing a value in the
market as beef when their "usefulness
in the dairy has ended. Such a breed
must also be one long-established, with
Johnny and the Planets.
Why a Boy Fell Out With and Fought a Friend.
On Fridry evening Johnny went out
wjth his father and mother to see the
wonderful conjunction of Jupiter and
Venus, This is the way the two plan-
ets appeared to the party.
*Jupiter.
*Venus.
“Now mark,” said his father, ‘that
the upper one is Jupiter.”
Last evening Johnny went up to a
party of lads, who were gazing at the
grand celestial free show. “The top
‘un,’ Jos was remorking, “is Wenus.”
“Not so fast; putin Johnny: “my
dad says the top one is Jupe.”
Of course the two lads had it nip and
tuck. From words they fell to blows.
Meanwhille the two planets were shin-
ing serenely down in this order:
*Venus.
*Jupiter,
By and bv Johnny's father came
along. “Fighting over the stars, are
you, you scamp! Why, sincelast night
the planets have changed positions,
that’s all. Home with you.”
The Finnish Language.
That strange and difficult tongue,
which is supposed to have once embrac-
ed the greater part of northeastern Eur-
ope,is now practically restricted to a
remote and sparsely populated province
of the Russian empire, and despite the
tacetious support accorded to it in the
past by the Russian Government its area
seems to be steadily if slowly, receding.
Nor is it at all surprising when we come
to examine the language itself. Finnish
grammar is a difficulty absolutely re-
pulsive. None of the other languages
of the same group is half so hard. Hun-
garian—nay even Turkish, despite vex.
ation initial impediment of the Arabic
alphabet—is easy in comparison. The
syntax is at once provokingly elaborate
and perplexingly obscure. It possesses
fifteen distinct cases and twenty-four
diflerential infinite forms, but on the
other hand there is no real distinction
between nouns, adjectives, adverbs. pro-
positions, infinitives, and participles, so
the student must not be startled by
finding infinitives regularly declined
like nouns and ncuns taking upon them
degrees of comparison like adjectives.
What Cured Him ?
Disturbed, disturbed ; with pain oppressed,
No sleep, no resf ; what dreadful pest
Such terrors thus ensnared him ?
Dyspepsia all night, all day,
It really seemed had come to stay ;
Pray, guess you, then, what cured him ?
It was Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. That isthe great core for
| Headache, Scrofula, Dyspepsia, Kidney
Disease, Liver Complaint and General
Debility. An inactive Liver means
poisoned blood ; Kidney disorder means
poisoned blood ; Constipation means
poisoned blood. The great antidote for
impure *blood is Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. Acting directly
upon the affected organs restores them
to their normal condition. The ¢Dis-
covery” is gurranteed to benefit or cure
in ail cases of disease for which it is re-
commended, or money paid for it will
be promptly refunded.
Descendants of Some Noted Men.
It is noteworthy what a namber of
men eminent in the era 1851-65 are now
represented only in the female line of
descent. Neither Abraham Lincoln
nor Jefferson Davis has a living grand-
son. Neither has Andrew Jackson,
| Thurlow Weed nor Horace Greeley,
General Hancock’s one son left behind
him only a small daughter. There is
no representative of General Scott's
name. A singular parallel runs be-
| twixt two Confederate generals, Stone-
| wall Jackson and John Morgan, ‘prince

fixed and peculiar characteristics of its |
own, and which will so strongly trans-
mit its qualities on its offspring as to
enable it to predominate when used for
improving other breeds or grades.

TEE
The Care of Plants.
Large-leaved plants, either the smooth
or the hairy-leaved may be easily bath-
ed in the windows where they stand, if
the pots are too heavy to be romoved, or
if from any other reason it may seem
best. :
A soft cloth or a sponge, well wet in
water, may be used to
gently wipe off the upperand under
sides of each leaf and wash down each

hair brushes for babies, is better, espec-
(dally for rough or fuzzy-leaved plants.
certain purposes, than in that from |
milk, can ouly be used by those farmn- |
ers who make a specialty of producing '
butter, but the largest returns are de-
rived from those cows which a large
amount of but er may be derived, such
cows being adapted to the requirements
of the farmer who makes butter, aud
also for supplying the market with | hon,
regularly, according to directions, and
| then note the gvnerally improved con-
milk which exceeds the average pro-
portion of solids.
It is difficult to induce some farmers
to improve, or grade up iheir stock,and
some who are really progressive make
the mistake of selecting the Jersev for
improving the stock in the yield of
milk. The- Holstein wot only yields
more largely of milk than the Jersey,
but rivals it as a butter producer. One
has only to skim the milk of the Hol-
stein if cream is the odject only, for it
is rich in that direction, but cream is
not the only desirable substance in
milk, for the nitrogea and mineral
matter, the chief constituents of cheese,
are derived from the skim milk. A
Holstein cow will prove but an indif-
ferent milker it she talls below twenty
quarts daily for a yearly average, and
she may also produce ten pounds of
butter daily from the milk. ft is un-
necessary to point to the fact that such
a cow is more valuahle than one yield-
ing less milk and an equal amount of
butter, What the farmer should do
is to grade up his stock to the average
of the pure breeds, or what is better,
resort to the use of tne pure breeds
without the loss of time incidental to
crossing, though any system of im-
provement is beter than none,
Lt the leaf is corrnzated it is yet more
necessary that each depression be reach-
ed —Home Queen.
Woman Wanted !
Between the ages of fifteen and forty-
five. Must have pale, sallow complex-
ons, no appetite, and be hardly able to
got about. All answering this desecrip-
tion will plese apply for a bottle of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription ; take it
dition. By a thorough course of self-
treatment with this valuable remedy,
the extreme cases of nervous prostration |
and debility peculiar to women, are rad-
ically cured. A written guarantee to
this end accompanies every bottle.
The Baskets That Wear.
A general mistake is made about bas-
ets, most people supposing that the
white willow basket 1s the best. It
looks best hut is by no means the
strongest. The white willow slips are
cut in the fall and kept green all winter
by packing their stubs in wet sand or
water, and when spring comes the bark
p2«ls off with a twist of the hand. The
buff baskets, on the contrary, are made
from dried willow slips, which have been
steamed and then peeled. While not so
handsome, they wear much longer than
the white.
Benzine Takes Out Paint,
To remove paint, fold some soft cloth
several times and lay the soiled article
on it. Wet the spots with benzine and
rub with a woolen cloth. Pour on more
benzine and rub again. Repeat as often
as may be necessary.
Household Affairs.
HICKORYNUT CANDY.
Take one cap of hickorynut meats,
| two cups of sugar, half a cup of water.
| Boil the sugar and water together with-
out stirring, until thick enough to spin
to a thread. Fiavor, if desired; then
setin cold water. Stir quickly until
white, then throw in the nuts. Pour
into flat tins, and cut into squares.
AN APPLE SALAD.
For the basis she used solid tart ap-
ples, pared and cut into small bits.
With this she mixed an equal quantity
of celery, cut in bits ot the same size.
After thoroughly mixing, she dressed
them in a salad bowl with a simple
mayonnaise made as follows: Into the
yolk of one egg, previously beaten, a
sufficient quantity of salad oil was slow-
ly dropped to make a thick cream,
which was then thinned to the proper
fully. Add pepper and salt to taste,
and the mayonnaise was ready to dress
the salad.-—-New York Sun.
Discouraging the Use of Tobacco.
Professor Smith, formerly of Bowdoin
college, did not like to have the students
chew tobacco during recitations and
took effectual means to break up the
practice. A boy who was called upon
to recite one day, not expecting to be
“pulled,” as the saying goes, on the
nextday in succession, would go into
the class and chew tobacco during the
hour.
Whenever “Cosine” noted this he was
morally certain to ask that student a
few questions, and by kesping him up
fifteen minutes or so would manage to
put him in a position where he would
either have to swallow a copious amount
of tobacco or else choke. Such vigorous
treatment had a beveficial effect.

ever put on the Bellefonte market, which will
be made in the large room, formerly occupied
by Harper Bros., on Spring street. It has been
added to my iactory and will be used exclu-
sively for the sale of harness, being the first
exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom has been to sell goods
in the room in which they were made. This
elegant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can
nicely displayed and still kept away &om
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
leather. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
We are prepared to offer better bargains in
the future than we have done in the past and
we want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford to live in
Bellefonte. We are not indulging in idle
philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
not making much, but trades is growing and
that is what we are interested in now. Profits
will take care of themseives.
When other houses discharged their work-
men during the winter they were all put to
work in my factory, nevertheless the big (2)
houses of this city and county would smile if
we compared ourselves to them, but we do not
mean to be so odious, except to veriture the as-
section that none of them can say, as we can
