Farm Notes.
When the Angora goats were first
introduced into this country they were
not very favoraoly received, as no mar-
ket could be found for the hair. At
the present day as much as 600,000,000
pounds annually are used for making
plush covers for car seats.
A colt, calf or pig grows more rapid-
ly when very young than at any other
period, and the gain in size can be se-
cured at less cost at the early age. For
that reason all young stock should be
pushed in growth, not only during the
fall but during the winter also.
In England the rule 1s to allow four
cubic feet of air space for each 100
pounds of an animal. Allowing air ac-
cording to the weight, however, is not
a correct system, but it is a rule that is
better than none, as animals are usual-
ly more crowded than should be the
case.
To prepare artificial food for bees,
sift 30 pounds of granulated sugar in
15 pounds of boiling water, stirring con-
stantly. When the sugar is all added
and the water still boiling, remove the
mixture from the fire and stir in five
pounds of honey, which will prevent
granulation. This method is one pro-
mulgated by an experienced bee keeper,
and is one of the best in use.
Eggs and milk give steady returns to
the farmer. He does not have to wait
for a crop of eggs to be harvested, but
receives them daily, There is nothing
produced on the farm that helps to tide
over many difficulties so much as the
egg basket, and especially during the
winter season, when the farm is at a
standstill. Eggs are always in demand
and they are sold for cash atall times
and places.
The advantages’ of hay, corn fodder
and ensilage, when compared, may
give results not above in favor of ensil-
age, so far as its actual feeding value
is concerned, but when the comparison
is made strictly on the cost of the food,
ensilage stands first as the cheapest of
all. No single food should be used to
the exclusion of all other kinds, and
ensilage is no exception. When fed in
connection with hay and grain it pays
well for the cost.
Much of the labor of winter
is but an effort to keep a lot of
culls or inferior animals in exisence. It
is customary with some farmers to feed
steers, wethers or other animals that
are not reproductive on the coarse foods
only, simply to bring them over the
winter, to be sold in spring. The time,
labor and cost of the food will be quite
an item, for unless an animal is contin-
ually gaining in flesh it is en ailingfla
loss. There should be no resting spells
during the fattening process.
Orchard land is compelled to bear a
crop of fruit every year, while an occa-
sional crop of grass, corn, potatoes or
rye is also sometimes taken, with but
little manure added. There are or-
chards in this State that have borne
crops of apples for 20 years, yet no at-
tention has been bestowed upon the
trees as a source from which valuable
crops are obtained, but of recent years
the trees in some orchards appear sub-
ject to disease, while the frait is knotty
or imperfect.
If anyone will take the pains to dig
up the orchard, or portions ofit, for
purposes of discovery, he will find that
the roots of the trees extend out far be-
yond the limits of the most prominent
branches, and that therootlets are seek-
ing every square inch of the soil in
search of food. When the orchard is
made to grow a crop of corn there is a
competition for food between the trees
and the corn, and in some cases, as with
peach orchards, the corn roots secure
the larger proportion, so retarding the
growth of the peach trees as to dwarf
them for twoor three years, if not whol-
ly destroying them. Although an ap-
ple is composed largely of water, yet
the plant food required for the produc
tion of annual new wood and the seeds
of the apples compels the the trees to
seek an amount of mineral matter
‘which is sometimes enormous if the
growth of the tree and the production
“of fruit has been above the average.
That the roots of apple trees are
gross feeders, and that the trees de-
mand plant food in the shape of man-
ure or fertilizers, may be easily demon-
strated.
Fill a row with manure, the row to
be plowed deeply, about a rod from a
row of apple trees. Now fill another
row with manure, the second row be-
ing two rods or more from the tree.
Plant both rows with corn. The corn
plants in the first row nearest the trees
will make but little compared with the
corn plants in the second row, as the
roots of the trees will compete with
those of the nearest corn plants, thus
showing that the trees demand plant
food, and seek it readily from the most
available source.
Overproduction of wood is a tax on
trees. Instead of trimning a tree by
sawing off the limbs, the branches
should be cut back from the ends, and
the surplus shoots cut out. A tree may
be greatly curtailed of wood without
marring its symmetry, or by cutting off
large limbs, the loss of wood lessening
the number of branches and shoots to
feed. If the farmer then has the cour-
age to thin outthe young fruit next
spring, thus reducing the amount of
work to be done by the trees, and also
manure or fertilize the orchard with
the use of the cultivator sufficiently to
give the trees the best chance at the
soil, he will secure a larger crop of fruit
and of better quality than before, while
the trees will be more thrifty, the
leaves have a deeper hue, and the or-
chard will bear for many years longer.
An orchard should not be compelled to
produce any crop that is detrimental to
the trees.

CZEMA 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
ELAPSED AND NO RETURN.
A lady customer of ours (Miss Fanny At-
wood of Caroline Depot, N. Y.) has been cured
of a stubborn cass 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
strong enough to cure the Eczema would sure-
ly increase the Rheumatism. She used two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies. The effect was
was marvellous. Her case of Eczema was not
only completely enred, 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 dimin-
ished, and she sees no symptoms of the re-
turn of the k.czema which once so completely
took possesion of her face and body. Miss At-
wood delights in telling of the good effects
that the Cuticura treatment had upon her, and
recommends unsolicited the Cuticura Remedies
for Eczema and all kindred ailments. Your
preparations find ready sale ; indeed, Cuticura
Soap is on the list to buy almost continuously,

—=== BLENDED TEAS ———
Jo[
1t 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 tea
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 flay-
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-
Jer the goods for sale and unhesitatingly claim them
20 be wery superior both in value and flavor.
If you want a cup of ROVAL 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
Zo get from us just what you are wanting. We sell
Jine teas at very reasonable prices. Try them.
We have a clean dry sugar 80bs for jzocts. the
cheapest sugar ever sold in Bellefonte.

HARNESS HOUS
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 execlu-
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 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.
Weare 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
7 will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y 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 intrested in now. ofits
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 bi a
houses of this city and county would smile
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, as we can
say “NO ONE OWES US A CENT THAT WE
CAN'T GET.” This is the whole story.
The following are kept constantly on hand.

$8.00 to $15.00 and upwards, LARGE
