Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 5, 1892. Farm Notes. The Emeral Gem cantaloupe is one of the most delicious, and should be in market now. When ripe it always de- taches itself from the vines. The value of registry is that the ped- igree and identity of superior animals can be established. Registry is a pro- tection to both the breeder and the pur- chaser. Too often the country folks have themselves to blame for being looked down upon. They are careless about their clothing, about their manners and | their way of talking. Egg plants are attacked by the pota- to beetle as long as they are growing, and the beetles prefer them to the po- tato vines. Use paris green freely on egg plants as well as on potatoes. i The Columbia Launched. Cruiser No. 2 Christened by Miss Edith Morton. PuinaperpHia, July 26.— Under a sun, the intensity of whose rays seem- ed to make her metal sides aimost vibrate, Cruiser No. 2, or as the vessel hac been popularly known, “The Pirate,” was launched here this after- noon from Cramps’ ship yard and | christened the Columbia by Miss Edith Morton, daughter of Vice President Morton. In consideration of time of the year and with a view to just such weather as the country is suffering un- der now, the Messrs. Cramps decided some time ago not to issue any invita- tions to the launch to-day, and in con- sequence there was a marked difference is the size of the crowd in comparison with that of previous launchings at Cramps’ yards. “Launching Day’ at Cramps’ is always observed with a holiday, and with the exception of the gang of menat work preparing the cruiser for her passage down the ways the army of laborers that yearly throng the yard were absent this morning. A hog with a dish face is said to possess all other requirements. It may be added, also, that the best hogs | should have no bristle, but only the best specimens are entirely free in that respect. Only a few hills of late cucumbers are necessary to supply quite a large number of pickles. Late wax string beans are also excellent for pickling, and a few hills of gherkins should not be omitted. In case of the yellow rust of the blackberry, the diseased plants should be cut out and burned and the healthy plants sprayed with some fungicide to destroy any spores that may have reached them. One of the best things to do in the time of drought is to clean the well, as the water will then be low, and the work can be done more thor: oughly. Every well should be cleaned at least once a year. What the dairy farmer wants is a cow that will take enough of that food supply to maintain herself in health and vtgor, at the same time producing the greatest possible quantity of milk, of the best possible cost. My experience has forced me to the belief that the average tarmer who de- pends on stacks for good stock hay los- es enough in 10 years to erect and maintain substantial barns for its pro- tection from the weather, Cultivate shallow at all times—in dry weather, when the roots grow deep, to make a surface mulch; in wet weather, when the roots are nearer to the surface, to keep down the weeds and keep the soil from baking. A Connecticut farmer kept an account of the small fruit grown on half an acre of ground and used by his family last year. He figured on the fruit at market rates and found it amounted to $365. or more than $700 per acre. When spring wheat is sown early enough to ripen in July it generally es- capes the dangers of climate and soil influences that so often dry up the jui ces of the plant at the very time the grain is in the milk and dough state. The difference between an orchard that has been cultivated, kept clean and fertilized, compared with one seeded to grass will be easily noticea- ble, and the yields will vary in propor- tion to the neglect or attention given. Here's a hint for makers of prime butter. Why not keep it packed with roses and violets till ready for sale? Remember too, that butter can hold and retain foul odors as well as sweet ‘ones. Pack an onion with it and see. Raise fruit that readily catches the eye. [Exercise care in picking, packing and marketing. Throw out every infe- rior specimen—especially when this poor stuff, that destroys the sale of the other, can be utilized by drying, evaporating or canning. Use the neatest and most presentable pack- ages. There is but slight difference in the cost of a shed built to be comfortable, such as will exclude gales of wind, rain and snow, and ore through which the finger can be thrust between the weath- er boarding. The advantage gained by building the best will justify the dif- ference in outlay every time. It late cabbages are planted too soon and the ground is rich, they are liable to mature before frost and the head crack. To avoid this do not set out the plants before August, but it is not safe to defer the work later than about the 10th of August. One must, how- ever, use judgement, as the size of the plants, the manure used, the quality of the soil, all have some effect on the growth, Sheep graze very close and leave but little grass above the roots when they have passed over a plot, but this pecu- larity of sheep is an advantage, as they also eat the weeds as close to the ground as possible. If there is a piece of ground covered with young weeds. turn the sheep on, thus utilizing the weed as food. It is almost ruinous to the pasture to allow the stock on it during a per- iod of great drouth. Not ouly does the grazing injure the grass, but the con- stant tramping of the cattle also does injury. Grasssoon dies out it very closely grazed, and when the season is very dry. Should this happen there will be but little grass for stock before spring. | The Pe-ru-na Drug The business of getting the cruiser ready for her dip into the river was not an enviable one. The cruiser launched to-day is es- sentially a commerce destroyer and not a fightiag vessel, within the accepted meaning of the term, Her designers drew their plans with two main objects in view, speed and coal-carrying ca- pacity. To obtain these the cruiser was given a tonnage of 7,500 tons, far greater than would be necessary in a fighting vessel of the same dimensions. Her lines are finer than the great trans- atlantic passenger greyhounds, which for stability are required to have much greater beams. The dimensions of the cruiser are 400 feet in length on the load water line, 58 feet beam 24 feet draught. The contract calls for a speed of twenty- two knots an hour on the trial trip, failing which the builders are liable to a money penalty or the abolute re- jection of the vessel by the govern- ment. Some idea of the speed that will be required of the cruiser may be obtained by comparing it with the championship record of 21,06 knots for an hour, held by the steamship Teutonic. Creeping Malaria. Insidious and Stealthy in Its Approach.—Dead- ly and Unyielding in Its Grasp.—Exctracts from a Lecture at the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, by Dr. S. B. Hartman. The orset of malaria is often so very insidious that it is quite difficult to de- tect the nature of it until it has fastened itself thoroughly in the system. Mala- ria often will pester a person for months without making bim sick abed, but making him genuinely miserable— creeping rigors, coated tongue, appetite changeable, and many indescribable sensation of genuinely disagreeable kinds. Chills and hot flashes of very irregular duration and recurrence coms and go without seeming cause. The hands and feet are usually cold and clammy, and the general tendency is to dryness and coldness of the skin of the whole body. Among the symptoms to which this class of patients are liable, but not al- ways present, may be mentioned neu- ralgic headache, nervous chills, hys- teria, sinking or faint spells, distressing palpitation of the heart, defective eye- sight, total inability to read, write, or do any business; urine abundant, without color, and loss of flesh. Melancholy feelings, a discouraged listless state of mind, mental depression and confusion of the mind, surely indicates the pres- ence of malaria. This form is called malarial biliousnes. « For this “walking malaria,’ which neither puts one to bed nor allow him to work or study, Peruna should be taken as directed on the bottle. “A course of Peruna will entirely cleanse the system of every par- ticle of the malarial poison. Therefore, if you have any kind of a bad feeling which you attribute to malaria, by all means follow this treatment. It at once restores the appetite, clears the be- fogged senses, and brings back the hope- ful state of mind which malaria is sure to destroy. A thorough use of it will convince you of its wonderful power in all such cases. Peruna can be relied on to cure these cases and restore to per- fect health as specdily as the chronic vature of the difficulty will allow. Should constipation exist at the same time Manalin should be added. The Peruna tones up the pervous system and enriches the blood, giving strength and vitality, while Manalin restores the activity of the excretory glands, enabl- ing the system to rid itself of accumu- lated poison, bringing back to this most unfortunate class of invalids the flush and good feeling of perfect health.

MARVELLOUS AND COMPLETE CURE BY CUTICURA SIX YEARS HAVE EL- APSED AND NO RETURN. A lady customer of ours (Miss Fannie At- wood of Caroline Depot, N. Y.) has been cured of a stubborn case of skin disease by the use of Cuticura Remedies. She remarked that her case had baffled the skill of many well-known physicians. They unanimously pronounced it Eczema, with Rheumatism lurking in the blood. Some predicted that any treatment and strong enough to cure the Etzema would surely increase the Rheumatism. She used two sets of the Cuticura Remedies. The effect was marvellous. Her case of Eczema was not only completely cured, but her Rheumatism was greatly relieved during the treatment. Six years have elapsed since the cure was per- formed, her Rheumatism has since never in- creased by the treatment, but rather diminish- ed, and she sees no symptoms of the return of the Eczema which once so completely took possession of her face and body. Miss Atwood delights in telling of the good effects that the Cuticura treatment had upon her, and recom- mends unsolicired the Cuticura Remedies, for Eczema and all kindred ailments.

But that the best value and choicest flavor can be obtained only by a skillful blending of care- Jully selected high grade goods of different varieties. When teas are perfectly blended the original flav- or of each variety disappears in the blend, and from the combination we get something entirely new and much finer than any of the original flavors.
