Benoni Wald
Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 19, 1892,
Farm Notes.
Ope bushel of hard wood ashes is
worth 35 to 40 cents for manure.
Wheat germinates at a very low de-
gree of temperature—as low as 40 dc
grees.
The United States imported over $2-
000,000 worth of peas and beans in 18»
91, and nearly $3,000,000 worth of po-
tatoes.
Air slacked lime and wood ashes
mixed, sprinkled on the vines when
the dew is on, is said to be a remedy
for the striped potato bug.
In breeding, each animal stands not
as an isolated individual, but as the
representative of a long line of ances-
tors, each exerting some influence in
generation.
Small potatoes, which are unsalable,
should not be wasted, as they are lux-
uries to the hens and pigs. It will pay
to put them away for feeding to poul-
try alone.
f [Grass is the most effectual means of
restoring the natural vegetable surface
or humus, to hilly soils, and it has the
merit of not being liable to being wash-
ed away as any loose litter may be.
While American farmers are con-
tent with only a few acres in root crops,
the English farmer places his entire de-
pendence on roots. The farm also in-
creases in fertility every year, as stock
raising is the principal business.
Surplus water is always a damage
and should be removed by drainage.
It is better to remove this down
through the soil than to drain it off
over the soil. It makes farming easier
and quicker, and makes less or no
waste land.
When harvesting potatoes do not
save any of them for seed if the slight
est trace of scab are to be seen. 1t is
better to procure seed next year from
some other source known to be free of
disease than to incur risk by saving
your own seed.
It is stated that by spraying the
vines and trees with London purple,
not only is the codling moth larve
destroyed, but also the canker worm,
span worm and three species of leaf
rollers, a single spraying having i's
effect on all of them.
To keep feed in a trough for pigs or
for poultry is not economical. Regu-
lar meals, at certain hours, induces a
stronger appetite and better digestion.
Food should be of a varied character
in order to promote rapid growth and
quick increase in weight.
As the grass begins to fail later on’
the rations of the cows should be in
creased at the barn, If there is then a
supply of roots, and especially of car-
rots and turnips, the cows may easily
changed from green food to grain and
hay with less risk of their falling off in
yield of milk.
A progressive farmer is one who
pays more attention to the making of
manure than to anything else on the
farm. It is not the adding of all kinds
of materials to the manure heap that
makes it valuable, but the preservation
of the material so that it will not de-
teriorate or lose any portion of its
plant food.
Crab grass has very large and spread-
ing roots. When it gets a start it takes
possession of every square inch of soil,
and is difficult to remove, yet it is one
of the easiest plants to kill when it is
young. Keep the cultivator moving
where crab grass is liable to appear,
as it will not thrive, when young, in a
loose, dry soil.
With a good road wagons will last
much longer, and the labor of the
teams lessened. The cost of transpor-
tation from the farm to the railroad is
a heavy item on a bad road. When
the team can haul a heavy load oyer a
good road, stead of half a load overa
bad road, it is not only a saving in la-
bor but also a great gain in time.
In attempting to cultivate too much
land, insufficient cultivation will be
the result, and two acres will be re-
quired to produce that which should
be grown on one acre. A lot of mao-
ure may be of great service on half an
acre and show no effect when spread
over twice that surface. Less labor is
also required on small areas than on
those that are large.
If you have a good ewe that has pro
duced vigorous lambs, and gave them
ample nourishment, she will be more
serviceable than a younger ewe that
has nct provided for her youngas
she should. There will always be
some unprofitable ewes in a flock, and
before the breeding season arrives a
gelection of the best ewes should be
made, to be bred to a choice pure-bred
ram of some preferred breed.
If every farmer who raises calves
was determined that each calf should
be of better breeding than its dam, it
would require but three or four years
to entirely revolutionize dairy farming.
The yield of milk and production of
butter would be doubled, and the pro:
fits would be much larger. All this
can be secured by breeding from pure:
bred males. The scrub bull is ‘the
main curse of the dairyman.
The farmer sells tons of water and
gets a good price for it. A ton of pota-
toes contains over 1800 pounds of wa-
ter , and lgrge quantities of water exist
in all foods. The solid portions of
milk average about 12 per cent. and
the farmer who selis milk, therefore,
tells about 88 per cent. of water. As
different qualities of milk are obtained,
the milk from some cows are watered
more than that from others, and the
cow varies the solids of her milk ac
cording to the amount and kind of
food consumed, and the water drank
by her.
A Petrified Human Body.
It Was Found by Prospectors in the Hills of
South Dakota.
One of the most wonderful discov-
eries ever recorded in the Hills was
made a few days ago by some parties
about ten miles north of Hot Springs,
S. D., near Wind Cave. They were
prospecting in the Hills. and in coming
down into a ravine saw what appeared
to be a fossil of some kind, similar to
those found down in the Bad Lands,
east of here. They proceeded to un-
earth it, and to their great astonish-
ment found it to be the petrifaction ot a
man. They have sold it to George,
Bronte, who now has it on exhibition
at Wind Cave, where a large number
of people are going daily to see it. The
specimen is that of a young man from
25 to 30 years of age, well formed and
tully developed physically. In height
it is 6 feet 1} inches, and belongs to the
dolicephals or round-headed race of
human beings.
The foot, the left one, the right foot
being missing, must have worn a boot,
as the big toe is very much compress-
ed inward and the toe nails pressed
flat on the top, the contrary to those
wearing no boots. The left arm is
brought down the side with the hand
resting on the abdomen. The right
arm has disappeared about three inches
from the shoulder, and it certainly ap-
pears to have been lost prior to the in-
terment, for while the left hand is se-
curely cemented to the body from the
waist to the finger ends, there is not
the slightest trace of the right hand in
any way having touched the truok.
Now with the right foot it is the re-
verse, for the heels have touched each
other, and with the disintegration of
time the right heel bas carried with it
a portion of the left on the extreme
end. The calves of the legs are secure-
ly cemented together. The lips and
eyes are closed.
On the leftarm, extending four inches
above and three below, is what appears
to be a huge scar, probably caused by
an ax or cutlass, and under the left ear
is a small incision 1} inches long,
which looks as if caused by a knife or
dagger. The skin is perfect in minute
lines, and except a few pockmarks. bro-
bably caused by insects, is absolutely
perfect. It appears that the specimen
is one of the Ango-Saxon race, as all
the characterist.cs of an Indian are
wanting. There can be no doubt but
it is one of the most perfect petrifac-
tions ever discovered.
ST
Changes on Mars.
The Observations of a Harvard Colleje Professor.
NEw York, August 20.—The Herald
has received a cable dispatch from Pro-
fessor Pickering, who, in December,
1890, was sent to Arequipa, Peru, by
Harvard College in prosecution of its
self-assumed task of making a complete
map of the heavens. Another special
object of the expedition was the observa-
tion of Mars during its present opposi-
tion. Following is the message received:
“In my observations of Mars I have
geen two large areas near the equator
which are permanently blue. Near the
edges they appear light blue. The light
is slightly polarized. The total size of
the area is about 500,000 square miles,
one-halt the size of the Mediterranean
Sea. On June 25th a small dark spot
appeared in the southern snow cap. La-
ter this spot lengthened rapidly, and ear-
ly in July it was a thousand miles long,
dividing the snow in half.
“Sixteen hundred sqnare miles of
snow have melted within the last thirty
days. The melted snow has apparently
been transferred to the seas across the
land. Small dark areas, surrounded by
snow, appeared on July 10 and two days
later I first saw a dark line in the fork of
a Y shaped mark in the direction of the
seas. The line became more conspicu-
ous on July 14th, and on the 16th a dark
area, about the size of Lake Erie, ap-
peared on the northern side of the stem
of the Y, which was connected with the
northern sea. This had grown much
fainter by July 23, and a new area ap-
peared to the south of the northern sea
concealing its outline. The line in the
fork of the Y had disappeared, but the
area of the Y had extended. On July
24 a large dark area, apparently either a
lake or a sea, appeared near the melting
snow, and on July 25 the southern
branch of the Y became very narrow.
The outlines of the northern sea were
seen again, a narrow white line stretch-
ing north.
‘Many other changes were noted. Rap-
idly changing, faint with whitish areas
were seen. Green areas near the poles
have not been seen for many weeks, but
traces were recently suspected and a
bright green area was distinctly seen
near the north pole Monday night,

zeny ON A LADY
STUBBORN CASE OF SKIN DISEASE COV-
ERED HER FACE AND BODY. MANY
DOCTORS BAFFLED.
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 Spshiinensy pronounced
it Kezema, 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 eon her, and recom-
mends unsoliciied the Cuticura Remedies, for
Eczema and all kindred ailments. Your pre-
parations find ready sale; indeed Cuticura
Soap is on the list to buy almost continuously.

It is a pretty well settled principal with all ex-
pert tea men that the highest perfection in tea can-
not be attained from any one kind or variety of fea
plant. But that the best value and choicest flavor
can be obtained only by a skillful blending of care-
Sully 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.
We have a new blend of our own. In the prepa-
ration of which we have spent considerable time, and
labor and have also had the aid and counsel of sev-
eral as good tea men as are to be found in the Unit-
ed States. It 1s with entire confidence that we of-
fer the goods for sale and unhesitatingly claim them
20 be very superior both in value and flavor.
If you want a cup of ROYAL TEA, try our
new blended goods.
We also carry a full line of Teas, Oolongs, Ja-
pan, Young Hyson, Imperials, Gunpowder, Eng-
lish Breakfast, also several grades of blended goods,
and can suit the trade on anything in the tea line.
You may not be exactly suited on the goods you are
using, and we feel confident that you will be able
to get from us just what you are wanting. We sell
Jine teas at very reasonable prices. Try them.
We have a clean dry sugar 80s for 3octs. the

We extend a most cordial invitation to our
patrons and the public, in general, to witness

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
Sinan room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can
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
rd 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 trade is growing and
that is what we are interested in now. ts
