Farm Notes.
Potato Planting in Trenches.
Quite a revolution was effected by
the system of growing potatoes by the
trench method, for when experiments
showed that a grower could produce
over 128 bushels of potatoes on one-
eighth of an acre, or at the rate of more
than"1000 bushels on an acre, as was
‘done by Mr. A. Rose, of Pen Yan, N.
Y, the new system at once attracted
attention, for Mr. Rose also secured
over 500 bushels of potatoes on a full
measured acre of ground. It is not
yet conceded that the trench system is
superior to the usual plot culture, but
as the potato season is nearly here it is
not out of place to state what the
trench system is, in order tbat those
who so prefer may make experiments
in that direction, the coming season,
on a plot or two.
The land is plowed a foot deep and
opened eight inches. The seedis then
planted and the trenches left open, the
dirt being filled in as the plant grows,
the claim being that by thus gradually
filling in as growth is made, the pota-
toes produce more tubers, as well as
larger size and better quantity, ou ac-
-count of having more room and a bet-
ter soil ; but when the trench is filled
to the top the rows are level, aud the
usual level cultivation is given, though
some prefer to hill up the rows, believ-
ing that by so doing more moisture is
retained in the soil. The usual mode
of growing potatoes is to plant the seed
from four to six inches deep, but as the
trench system calls tor nine inches of
depth, and of the width of a heavy
plow furrow to as much as three feet,
if preferred, tuber-bearing stems issue
from different planes, making several
tiers of tubers, faizly separated from
each other, instead of being crowded.
The use of choice varieties, and the
cutting of the seed judiciously, is well
understood by all potato growers, and
as the trench system is very simple,
there is but little to learn other than
the fact of enormous yields, but in or-
der to secure the large crops the ground
is liberally supplied with a fertilizer
composed of about six per cent. ammo-
nia, 12 per cent. phosphoric acid, and
eight per cent. potash. As much as
880 pounds of fertilizer per acre have
been used, which was sown in the bot-
tom of the trenches and well incorpora-
ted with the soi[, the seed picces being
placed on this one foot apart in the
trenches.
Next month the new beds of straw-
berries should be made. One of the
most essential requisites is to have the
land deep and fine, 80 as to permit of
setting out the young plants more
speedily, and to assist in guarding
against loss. If manure is used it
should be well rotted. Wood ashes
make the best fertilizer for a young
bed, but the following spring a com-
plete fertilizer should be used.
An excellent way to secure early
plants is to use egg shells. Fill the
shells with rich earth, planta few seeds
on the top, and when transplanting the
young plants place the shell in the
ground with the plant, first dipping the
shell in water, and crushing it before
filling earth around it. In this man-
ner the young plant receives no check,
and a large number of shells my be
used by placing them on a frame in a
warm and sunny place.
Always cull out the herd or flock,
selling oft the least profitable of the
stock, and grading up the best by the
use of pure bred males. In this man-
ner there will be a constant improve-
ment, and in a few years the capacity
of production may be more than doub-
led, while the cost will be no greater.
How to make one horse do the work
of two is a problem not easily solved,
but the farmer who does not carefully
sharpen his plow point or get rid of
one that is worn and rusty, will impose
50 per cent. more work on his team
than is really necessary.
Grow what you need for yourself be-
fore growing to sell. The home mark-
et is the best of all, for it demands a
supply the entire year. Begin the sea-
son with a garden, and aim to have a
variety.
France is one of the progressive na-
tions in horticultural science. In about
38,000 ot her schools the children are
taught, among other things, how to
take care of gardens and fruit trees and
shrubs,
The farmers who are successful are
those who never lose sight of the fact
that the farm is a home; that every-
thing done toward beautifying and im-
proving the place is enhancing ite
value.
The winter is the time to buy tools.
Every farmer should at this season of
the year determine what implements
he will need for the next year, and
make arrangements for procuring them.
Every horse that is expected to work
ot the farm during the spring and sum-
mer should havea collar and set of
harness properly fitted fo it. This will
lessen the risks of galled shoulders,
The educated farmer ought to be in-
fluential in molding public opinions,
elevating public morals and advancing
in all possible ways the best interests
of those about him,
Take red lead and pure boiled lin-
seed oil and mix to proper consistency
and you will find it ‘the best iron-roof
paint in the market, as it will never
crack or peel. .
Ripening the cream brings out a cer-
tain development of lactic acid, and in
my opinion has a great deal to do with
bringing out that fine butyric flavor we

many ‘“Court in poetry, and live in
prose” after marriage. This is especial-
ly true of the wives whose changed rela-
tions bring on weakness and
derangements peculiar to married
women, so that their lives be-
come “prosy.” To all such, Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is a great boon.
It cures weak backs, headaches, neural-
gic and “‘bearing-down”’ pains displace-
ments and irregularities of the female
organs, It is likewise a restorative and
invigorating tonic, strengthing the
nerves, and imparting new life to the
tired and debilitated, brings back the
‘roses to the cheek,” and the ‘rainbows
to the eyes.’’ Sold by all druggists, un-
der guarantee from its makers of satis-

It Is Doing Good Work.
It won’t do to try to slur the House
for not doing any work when it can
point to appropriation bills almost per-
fected, and carrying some $65,000,000
less expense than those of last year, The
fact that this amount of money has been
saved, and no necessary expense slight-
ed, is in itself a great work.
In regard to naval appropriations,
the Billion Dollar Congress voted so
much more than was necessary, or could
be readily used, that enough was left
over to enable the present House to re-
duce the amount it voted without in-
jury to the new navy.
As to necessary business, the House
is as far ahead at this stage of the ses-
sion as any that ever did duty in the
Capitol.— Philadelphia Herald.
0, this dull, depressing headache,
That won't wear off ;
This hawking and spitting,
And this hacking cough.
I've lost my sense smelling,
And taste’s going too.
I know catarrh’s what ails me,
But—what shall I do ?
My hacking and my hawking
Keeps up a steady din;
I'm haunted by the fear that
Consumption may setin.
I feel supremely wretched ;
No wonder Iu blue,
I know my health’s failing,
But what can Ido ?
Do ? I'll tell you what todo, my
friend, it you’ll lend me your ear a
minute. Go down to the drug store and
buy Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, and
take it according to directions given
and you'll soon find that this miserable
headache is a thing of the past; the
hacking, hawking and spitting
so disagreeable to others as well as your-
self, will come to an end, and in a short
time you will feel like a new man—
think of that—and all for fifty cents,
which is the price of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy, the unfailing cure for this ter-
rible disease.

La GripPE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED.
—=] have just recovered from a second
attack of the grip this year,” says Mr.
Jas, O. Jones, publisher of the Leader,
Mexia, Texas. “In the latter case I
used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and
I think with considerable success, only
being in bed a little over two days,
against ten days for the first attack.
The second attack I am satisfied would
have been equally as bad as the first but
for the use of this remedy, as I had to
go to bed in about six hours after being
‘struck’ with it, while in the first case I
was able to attend to business about two
days before getting ‘down.’” 50 cent

I was in the war during 1863-64, and took a
heavy cold at Gettysburg, from which I never
fully recovered. In1875 I broke out in sores
all over my chestand shoulcer, which seemed
impossible to cure. I tried all the famed doc-
tors I could find, and to no avail. I expended
some five thousand dollars trying to find a
cure, but could not, and finally giving myself
up to die, my good wife suggested to me, one
day to try the Cuticura Remedies, which were
so extensively advertised and used. I follow-
ed her suggestion, and am happy to say by
diligent application of your Cuticura Remedies
for seven months I was entirely cured, after

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
Slozens room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely displayed and still kept away from
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
i will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford tolive in
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 intrested in now. ofits
