Farm Notes.
A small allowance of bone meal in
the food will be beneficial to young
fowls that are afflicted with leg weak-
ness.
Nitrogen abounds in soils that are
well filled with humus or decayed vege-
table matter. Keep up the green man-
aring.
Good seeds are smooth, slimy, full and
heavy, readily sinking in water and
popping like corn when placed on a hot
stove.
Do not get ready to run a winter dai-
ry and expect to make it pay wholly on
dry feed. Ensilage and the winter
dairy are the complement of each other.
The feeding value in the corn cob
when ground lies chiefly in its mineral
and mechanical elements. The potash
in it goes to the manure pile and is of
more value than the feeding element,
Although the prices of eggs are
bigher in winter than in summer the
cost of production is greater. There is
really no larger profit from winter eggs
than from those produced in summer.
It will be found a good plan to save
up all fruit cans. They can be used to
a good advantage in starting early
plants in the house, to be transplanted
out later. Keep dry so that they will
not trust.
To preserve the wagon wheels so that
they need not be taken to the shop,
heat linseed oil to the boiling point and
pour it into a trough. Having enough
to cover the felloes turn the wheel slow-
ly through the boiling oil.
A mixed ration is the one that gives
the best results, as variety increases
the appetiteand inducesthe animal to
eat more. There is nothing gained
when the animal eats but little. It re-
quires food to produce mild, butter
and meat.
Never under any consideration keep
honey in a cellar or even in a room
where the temperature changes so much
as to cause dampness to settle on the
surface of anything. If you do the
aroma and exquisite taste of the honey
is destroyed and it is spoiled.
It is of no use to give a plant fresh
soil before its roots have pretty well oc-
cupied the old. There is a proper time
time to repot, and that is when the ball
of earth is well surrounded by roots, a
state that can be determined by tipping
the plant out of the pot.
While it is important to select pure-
bred males for producing good cows it
must not be supposed thatthe male
can overcome all of the defects in the
dam. The better the dam tbe more
valuable the calf and in breeding to a
choile male the best cows should be se-
lected for the purpose.
It is difficult to make any business
pay unless the management is such as
to take advantage of the markets,
and to give close altention to details.
Farming pays as well as ary other oc-
cupation, as failures occur in all
branches of business. The merchant
and the manufacturer are ever on the
alert for improvements which reduce
expenses, and they are in close competi-
tion with hundreds of others. Farm-
ing is a business, and the farmer be
comes a merchant and manufacturer
whenever he buys certain articles and
sells them in some other form.
FARM FACTORIES.
The whole farm is really a factory,
and at no time is there a cessation of
the work of conversion of raw mater-
ials into salable products. Beginning
with the manure heap, in which the
plant food is being chemically prepared
the process does not end until the cru-
dest materials are transformed, through
successive stages, into the various pro-
ducts of milk, eggs, meat and butter.
Even the grain and hay are but the
substances derived from the plant food.
The profit depends on the manner in
which the salable articles were produc-
ed for the cost can only be reduced to
the minimum by business methods and
the use of the improvements necessary
for competing with others.
DETAIL MANAGEMENT.
The minor details demand the clos-
est supervision. The waste at each
feeding of the animals may be but a
trifle, but the aggregate is large atthe
end of the year. When a certain pro-
portion of food is used to produce 10
pounds of butter where 20 pounds
could as easily have been secured by
the use of improved stock the farmer
has doubled the cost of his articles.
No merchant or manufacturer would
thus conduct business as he could not
compete with his rivals. The farmer
however, vainly attempts to make a
business pay by rejecting the best me-
thods at his disposal, and condemns his
occupation, though the failure is due
to causes aon by him.
BUSINESS METHODS.
Sooner or later circumstances will of
themselves force an improvement, but
at the expense of many sacrifices. The
wor!d is progressive, and the farmer
must progress also. He bears his
losses with hopes of the future, and de-
fers improvement which admits of no
delay. He will never succeed with
farming by cultivating weeds instead
of destroying them, nor in attempting
to derive something from the soil with-
out feeding it liberally in order to ren-
der it productive. The heaviest eac-
rifies however, are made by farmers
who will not realize the difference be-
tween pure bred stock and inferior ani-
mals, for often failures have occurred
where only 4 elight increase in the
farm products would have led to suc-
cess, Business methods should be
practiced on the farm. Keep nothing
but the best, produce the best and aim
to realize the greatest amount at the
least possible cost.
Some Christmas Carols.
If you hear a man protesting loudly
during the week against the promiscuous
slaughter of seals you may depend upon
it that he very grudgingly bought for
his wife a sealskin sacque for Christmas,
Now is about the time when the fond
wife will begin to hovk change out of
her husband’s pockets with which to
buy him a present, so as to make him be
lieve she loves him.
People who think that Christmas is a
season of peace on earth good will to-
ward men probably never saw a man
skirmishing around at about five o’clock
on Christmas eve with a perturbed mind
and a five dollar bill buying presents
for a wite and nine dearly-beloved chil-
dren.
The loving wife gave up $5 for a
shaving set as a Christmas gift for her
husband. He hasshaved with it just once
and now his face looks as if he had been
pitted against Sullivan with hand gloves.
He will present to his wife on New
Year's day the razor, with which
to pare her corns. Women have long
heads.

The Use and Abuse of Whiskey.
This subject could be dwelt upon to a cou-
siderable length, and yet much would remain
untold, but all agree that the use, the proper
use of pure rye whiskey is an absolute neces.
sity, especially so now, when nature insists
upon being stimulated. All regular physi-
cians prescribe rye whiskey, and justly claim
that Klein's Silver Age and Duquesne Whisk-
ies are mostreliable. They do this not only
because they have tried them but because the
leading hospitals use them—find them the
best stimulants in the world. Silver Age sells
for $1.50 and Duquesne for §1.25 per full quart.
For sale by all dealers and druggists. Ask

ITCHING CHILDREN
NO SLEEPAT NIGHT. NO REST BY DAY.
HOW THESE LITTLE ONg£S HAD
TO SUFFER.
CUTICURA TOOK ALL OF THIS ITCH OUT
OF THEIR SKINS IN SIX WEEKS.
LEFT NOT A BLEMISH.
My children, nine in number, were all trou-
bled with an itching of the skin. They could
not sleep at night, and_throngh the day my
wife felt ashamed tosee the way those little
ones had to suffer. So we concluded to try,
Cuticura Remedies, and believe if we had not
used your valuable remedies our little family
would not have been cured yet, Cuticura Rem:
edies took all of this itch out of their skins,
inside of six weeks. My wife then bought
more, and kept on giving it to the children
and thank God and your valuable Cuticura
Remedies, my children have not got a blemish
on them.

ECZEMA 10 YEARS CURED
I purchased and used Cuticura with the
most gratifying results. Iwas troubled with
eczema in the form of salt rheum for ten
years, and had quite despaired of being cured.

and Cuticura Resolvent, has permanently re-
moved my complaint, and left my flesh sound

CUTICURA REMEDIES
1f the thousands of little bab.es who have
been cured of agonizing, itching, burning
bleeding, scaly, and blotchy skin and scalp
diseases could write, what a host of letters
would be received by the proprietors of the
Cuticura Remedies. Few can appreciate the
agony these little ones suffer, and when these
great remedies relieve in a single aPpiiestion
the most distressing eczemas and itching and
burning skin oiseases, and point to a speedy
and permanent cure, it 1s positively inhuman
not to use them without a moment's delay.

one of the
GRANDEST DISPLAYS OF
Light and Heavy Harness

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 from
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.
Weare prepared to offer better bargains
the future than we have done in the past os
we want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
in 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 interested in now. fits
