Farm Notes.
Some crops, such as clover, grass,
beans, peas and potatoes, may require
more potash than nitrogen, but wheat,
corn, oats and garden vegetables will
always respond well to nitrogen and
phosphates. All plants that produce
seeds take more from the soil than those
which are cut 1a the green condition.
Lime is one of the essential plant foods,
but it is applied whenever plaster or
superphosphate is used; yet the air-
glaked lime itself is one of the best
chemical agents that can be applied,
and the good effects of lime are also
noticed when wood ashes are used, as
lime is one of the principal ingredients
of ashes. Phosphoric acid abounds
largely in all grains and seeds, and al-
80 in beans. The siraw of wheat, po-
tato vines, turnip leaves, tobacco and
clover take up lime largely, yet there
is but little lime required for the grains.
The straw of wheat requires three
times as much potash as the grain, and
the same may be said of many other
grain crope.
The exact value of a ton of manure
caunot be estimated, asit depends on
the manner of its preservation, the
amount of water contained, and the
foods from which it was produced ; but
10 pounds of nitrogen, 5 pounds ot
phosphoric acid, 12 pounds of potash,
and 15 pounds of lime will cover all
the plant food in some kinds of man-
ure. The farmer who has fed mostly
straw, or coarse foods, will find his
manure lacking in plant food, but on
those farms where linseed meal and
cottonseed meal, with grain and bran,
-are used the manure will be almost a
complete fertilizer. The best guide in
selecting fertilizers is to avoid those
kinds that did not show an advantage
in their favor last year, as such are not
needed by the soil. Procure thosesub-
stances that have been tested with
good results, Test all fertilizers on
small plots also, for observation.
This is the season when the farmer
expends the largest sum for fertilizers,
.and he can easily make a mistake by
procuring something that may not be
beneficial as that which he can procure
‘by first studying the requirements of the
several crops to be grown, and by aim-
ing to supply the soil with the kind of
plant food in which it may be deficient.
It requires two or three years’ observa-
tion and carefully conducted experi-
ments to be perfectly familiar with fer-
tilizers and the necessities of the soil,
but the farmers should aim, as far as
possible, to supply the different crops
with those foods best adapted for their
use.
The mutton breeds are gradually
pushing the wool producing breeds of
sheep aside. Where formerly the
merino was the leading breed of sheep
in this country, there has been greater
attention directed to the Southdowns,
Hampshires, Oxfords and Suropshires,
The advantages with the Merino is 1ts
ability to exist in larger flocks, and to
forage over hills and waste lands, but
in this respect 1t has a strong rival in
the Southdown, which is far superior
to the merino as a mutton-producing
sheep, and it also grows a fair fleece of
middle wool.
Beet sugar is receiving more atten-
tion every year. Clay soil gives the
highest percentage of sugar. The av-
erage yield of sugar from beets is about
14 per cent., and over 20 tous of beets
can be grown on an acre, the cost of
which, for seed, labor, etc., is abcut
$40. Over 7000 pounds of sugar can
be realized from aa acre, but this yield
depends on the soil, the fertilizers used
and the season.
A dairyman who makes a business
of selling milk at a good price reports
that from a Holstein cow he sold 5769
of milk, at five cents a quart, making
$268.45, while from a grade cow he sold
3286 quarts at the same price, making
$164,30, showing a difference in favor
of the Holstein of $124.15.
It is necessary to balance the ration
of the soil as well as for the animals.
Feeding the soil with something it does
not require is equivalent to giving an
animal food which it will not eat. The
best fertilizers for soils are those which
supply the soil with that which it re-
quires.
It is 2n old maxim that “everything
oes into the milk.” Milk is flavored
y turnips and also by wild onions.
Water that is not fit fora human be-
ing to drink is not fit for the cow. Dis-
ease can be transmitted through the
agency of milk.
Feeding liberally is not to overfeed.
Gorging stock leads to indigestion and
bowel diseases. By observation each
animal's wants can be known. Indi-
vidual characteristics must be studied
in order to be successful with stock.
Put out the onions set on rich soil,
and allow plenty of room between the
8ets, so as to permit of the use of a
narrow hoe between them, which will
largely assist in lessening the hand
labor usually necessary.
Only a thin covering is necessary
for the horse in the stable. When out-
side, on cold days, the blanket is some-
thing that should never be overlooked.
The hen that sings is the hen that
can be depended on to do her best to
pay ber way. She has vigor, and it
comes out in her voice.
Farmers may often greatly increase
the capacity of common cows by sup-
plying them with an abundance of rich
succulent food.
Cows coming in in the fall will give
30 per cent. more milk ina vear on
the same food than if they calved in
the spring.
Milk tainted by feeding turnips may
be rendered pure by heating to 150 dJe-
grees when fresh from the cow,
Treble and Bass.

“Catarrh, hid 4 oy catarrh, catarrh,
What a horrid pest you are ;”
Growled dear papa in lowest bass.
When papa reads this, he will learn
how to get rid of the pest. By its mild,
healing, antiseptic, and cleansing proper-
ties, Dr. Sage’s Catarrb Remedy cures
the worst cases. This infallible remedy
does not like the poisonous, irritating
snufls, “creams” and strong caustic so-
lutions with which the public have
been so long huwbugged, simply palli-
ate tor a short time, or drive the disease
to the lungs. It produces a perfect and
permant cure of the worst cases of
Chronic Catarrh. “Cold in the Head”
cured with a few applications. Cat-
arrhal Headache relieved and cured as if
by magic. It removes offensive breath,
loss or impairment of the sense of taste,
swell or hearing, watering or weakness
of the eyes, and impaired memory, when
resulting from catarrh. Only 50 cents

To Investigate the ‘Gold Care.”
ALBANY, March 7,—An investigation
of unusual interest to the medical fra-
ternity and scientific men generally
throughout the state and nation will
come up in the senate for discussion to-
night. It is the special order which
empowers the senate health committee
to go ahead with an investigation of the
Keeley bi-chloride of gold cure. Last
week several doctors from the White
Plains institute appeared in the senate
and demanded an immediate investiga-
tion, cleiming that as long as the pend-
ing charges were hanging over their
heads in the senate it was ruining their
businesss and keeping patients away.
——
Perils of Modern Lite.
Contracts with electric wires, railroad
accidents, broken car and elevator ca-
bles, explosions of steam, natural gas
and chemicals, poisons in adultered food
and drink, are afew; but all these
dangers combined do not kill as rapidly
as slow and sure Consumption. The
death rate, however, from Consumption
is being yearly cut down since Dr.
Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y., has given to
the world his celebrated “Golden Medi-
cal Discovery.” a cure for Consumption
and Throat and Lung troubles that led
to Consumption (which is really nothing
more nor less than Lung-scrofula) is in
the first stages. A cough generally
sounds the alarm, and you should take
the ‘Discovery’ at once. There is a
time wnen it is too late.
——Crows are commonly said to live
for 100 years, and turtles are reported to
have even longer life, but, if the late
Prefessor Baird be right, the greatest
amount of longevity is pcssessed by
fishes. Professor Baird once said that
as a fish has no maturity there is nothing
to prevent it living indefinitely and
growing continually. He cited in proof
a pike in Russia whose age is known to
date back to the fifteenth century. In
the Royal Aquarium at St Petersburg
there are hundreds of fish that were put
in over 150 years ago. ‘

SpeciMEN Cases.--S. H. Clitford,
New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with
Neuralgia and Rheumatism, his Sto-
mach was disordered, his Liver was af-
fected to an alarming degree, appetite
fell away, and he was terribly reduced
in flesh and strength. Three bottles of
Electric Bitters cured him. Edward
Shepherd, Harrisburg, Ill., had a run-
ning sore on his leg of eight vears’ stand-
ing. Used three bottles of Electric Bit-
ters and seven boxes of Bucklen’s Arni-
ca Salve, and his leg is sound and well.
John Speaker, Catawba, O., had five
large Fever sores on his leg, doctors said
he was incurable. One bottle Electric
Bitters ond one box Buckler’s Arnica
Salve cured him entirely sold by Par-
rish’s Drug store.
An Innportant Bill.
TRENTON, N. J., March 8.—A bill was
introduced in the assembly to-night
which if passed finally will legalize the
recent railroad deal whereby the Read-
ing railroad company obtained control
of the Lehigh Valley and Central rail-
roads.
Tre Serixe MEepIcINE.—The pop-
ularity which Hood's Sarsaparilla has
gained as a spring medicine is wonder-
ful. Tt possesses just those elements of
health-giving, blood-purifying and ap-
petite-restoring which everybody seems
to need at this season. Do not continue
in a dull, tired, unsatisfactory condition
when you may be so much benefited by
Hood's Sarsaparilla, It purifies the
blood and makes the weak strong.

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 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 be
nicely displayed and still kept away *rom
heat and dust, the enemies ot 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
Wwe want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
To will buy. Our profits are not large, but

Bellefonte. We are not indulging in idle
philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
not making much, but trade is growing and
that is what we are interested in now. Profits
will take care of themselves.
When other houses discharged their work-
men during the winter they were all put to
