_- Emr eee A Leap Year Idyl. Didn't Get It After All. Liquors. 5 Farmer’s Supplies. Denorraic Wald Bellefonte, Pa., March 4, 1892. Farm Notes. But fallowing is too slow a process for the present generation. To gain time the farmer plows the land early. applies ten or twenty bushels of lime per acre, and seeds down to oats and peas for the earliest crop. This crop must not bear seed, for that would ‘cause a drain on the soil, but the crop is turned under with a plow and chain just berore the peas begin to bloom and as soon as thisis done the land is sown thickly with millet seed, when of suffi- cient height, the crop being also turn- ed under in the green conditien to be followed by rye, which remains on the ground during the winter, to be plowed under in the spring. If five or ten bushels of lime be applied per acre, after each plowing, it will be of ad- vantage. By this process the farmer keeps the ground shaded a great por- tion of the time, causes a great number of plants to grow and seek nitrogen from the atmosphere and exposes a larger extent of surface of the ioil to chemical action, the lime serving as a re-agent for quickly reducing the green crops to plant-food. When the land was abandoned, and permitted to ‘lie under fallow,” as it was termed, the weeds and plants in- digenous to that particular field assert- ed their right of occupancy, and with the aid of the nitrogen gained from the atmosphere and the disintegration of the soil by chemical action, which as- sisted to supply a proportion of plant food, the natural weeds would, in the course of time, cover the ground. As they fulfilled their mission and were returned to the soil to give piace to a newer growth of plants. the elements of their composition were added to the soil to serve as plant food for the ‘suc- ceeding growth, which would be heavi- er, and in this manner the land gained fertility, especially in nitrogen, while the shading of the soil also served to assist in converting the insoluable min- eral matter of the soil itself into plant- food, as well as aided in the conver- sion of the substances brought down by the rains into plant-food by chemi- cal action. It is best to attempt the restoration of worn out soil by the use of fertilizers by the use of fertilizers and manure, but where the object is t concentrate the manure over a small space, or where maoure or fertilizers are beyond the reach of the farmer, he will have to use Nature's method’s, but, of course, with the application of consid- erable labor. The farmers of former generations retorted to the fallen sys- tem. They know that when a plot of land was not cultivated and was al- lowed to “rest,” it recuperated and be- came capable of yielding more than be- fore, but from whence the increased fertility was derived or by what process the land partially recovered was not perfectly understood, but that it was a fact had often been demonstrated. Whether to broadcast the manure or use it in the hills depends on the quantity of manure and the kind of soil. On light sandy soil the best re- sults are gained when the manure 1s used in the hill. It is more profitable, however, on ordinary loam soils, to broadcast the manure, even if all of it must be spread on a small surface. Using the manure in the hill allows it to be used to better advantage over more land, but the benefits to the soil are not as lasting as when the manure is broadcasted. Wooden floors to pens or stalls assist in keeping the animals dry, butif the floor is full of cracks it may be harmful in permitting cold draughts of air to come up from below rendering the animal very uncomfortable. This may be avoided somewhat by the use of plenty of bedding, but the safer plan is to have the space under the floor tight in order to prevent draught. The effects of feeding linseed and cotton seed meal are plainly shown in the quality of the manure.” Both sub- stances are rich in nitrogen and win- eral matter, and form a valuable addi- tion to the ration where nitrogenous elements are lacking, In proportion to feeding value, as well as the value imparted to the manure, it is doubtful if any foods are cheaper. If farmers were as caretul to get rid of poo. stuck as to ged rid of the weeds there would be a great advantage gain- ed. A scrub animalis on a par with a weed. It takes nourishment from better stock, and occupies room that could be used more profitably wich something else. Graft cherry and plum trees during this month, as they cannot be deferred for late grafting, as is done with apple trees. Peach trees are budded, not grafted, and the bark should be fitted around the bud carefully. Many buds fail to grow owing to too much hurry and carelessness, Do not remove the mulch from the strawberry plants too early. Keep the ground cold, as the sudden thaws of early spring may cause the plants to be upheaved, The mulch protects more against the effects of warmth than against cold. : Manure for hot beds should be fresh, free of litter, well trampled in the hot bed and the heat, regulated by admitt. ing airand sprinkling with ‘water, as the manure may generate more heat on warm days than may be desired. The turkey hen is the best living in- cubator. She will hatch out and care for twice as many chickens as a hen !

From the Detroit Free Press. “Be mine,” she cried dramatically, as she sank on one knee before him. “I have long loved you, and now I can resist no longer. I must know my fate. Sweet creature, saya word that will make me the happiest of women.” “l don’t want to be married,” he answered coyly. “Ma says I'm too young and couldn’t take care of a wife. Take some one of your own size. Let go of me. I don’t want to be kissed.’ “Oh, you great big ninny !”’ she said, banging the furniture. “I was only rehearsing for a leap year party. I wouldn’t have you if you were worth your weight in gold.” And she bounced off in a huff. Conjugal Wisdom. “She who ne'er answers till her husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules”— is a type of wife happily becoming common in these days when women may have good health, cheerful dispositions, strong nerves and clear minds, simply through the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favor- ite Prescription. Before the reputation and use of this remedy became world- wide, irritable, cross, nervous, debilita- ted women, sutfering with displacements hysteria, and every female disease, were the rule rather than the exception. The “Favorite Prescription” has proven to be the key to a long and happy life—the key which effectually locks out that old array of uterine disorders, periodical pains, weak back, prolapsus, inflamma- tion, ulceration, nervous exhaustion and general debility.

Gor THE MITTEN EVERY Time —“I can mary any girl I please,” was his ex- clamation, but unfortunately then he did not please any; and there was a plain reason forit. He had contracted catarrh of the worst form, and, although a wealthy, educated, attractive per- son every other way, he was posi- itively repulsive to his lady friends, a number of whom rejected his offers of marriage. A friend advised him to use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. He took his advice, and now is the most popular beau in town, and he really can “marry any girl he pleases” toask. Itmade his breath pure and sweet, he has no headache, no offensive discharge from the uose, in short is in perfect health, and all from using a few bottles of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh, Remedy.

Some nights I could not sleep and had to walk the floor. I purchased Ely’s Cream Balm and am using it freely, it is working a cure surely. I haye advised several friends to useit, and"with happy results in every case. Itis the medicine above all others for catarrh, and it is worth its weight in gold. I thank God I have found a remedy T can use with safety and that does all that is claimed for it, It is curing my deafness. —B. W.

The old gentleman had taken out from a well filled case a splendid twenty-five cent cigar, and the driver noted that there were others in the oxidized silver pocket case. “Why certainly—cheerfully, sir, 1 assure you,” returned the politically po- lite. man of the reins. And he fished around with one hand for a match, pre- sently handing tha old man several of them. More thanks. Profuse polite- ness on the driver’s part. who sniffs the aroma of the cigar with evident delight “I don't get. much chance to smoke—at | the dinner hour I smoke a cigar occa- sionally, for lots of gentlemen, as you have done, get alight of me and then insist upen giving me a cigar.” But the smoker was obtuse. “Of course,’’ the obliger resumed, “I never expect’ anything of the kind, but they will insist upon it." “Uh !I”” from the preoccupied smoker. “It’s odd, don’t you think, that for every light I ever gave a passenger on this platform I got a cigar mn return ?”’ “Quite odd.” “I finally learned to always carry matches, and I get several good smokes every day.” The old man waslooking at the Diana weather vane. “So far, today, I haven't gotten my lunch time cigar. Of course, all senti- ment aside, I rather expect these returns of favors.” More silence. “Infact, it’s a business matter—it’s politeness for revenue only, one might say. When a man wants a light real bad—as for a mere illustration, you yourself did just now—it ought to be worth ‘a good cigar for him, don’t you think ?” “Doubtless.” “Well now, my dear sir, you will par- don me for being plain, but have you a good cigar'about you ?”’ “Yes; I have several good bnes in pocket. ‘What's that got to do with all this talk of yours ?” And the remainder of the ride down busy Broadway was in silence—icy, icy silence.—New York World.

We extend a most cordial invitation to our patrons and the public, in general, to witness one of the GRANDEST DISPLAYS OF Light and Heavy Harness 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 factory and will be used exelu- sively for the sale of harness, being the first exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as heretofore the eustom 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 be nicely displayed and still kept away from heat and ar 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 ou will buy. Our profits are not i ie but 3 selling lots of goods we can afford to live in Bellefonte. We are nol indulging in idle philanthropy. It is purely business, We are not making much, but trade is growing and that is what we are intorested'in now. Profits will take care of themselves. 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 venture the as- section that none of them can Say, a8 we. can say “NO ONE OWES US A CENT THAT WE CAN'T GEL.” This is the whole story.
