Deora fade Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 24, 1893. When the spring opens less grain will be required for the animals than during the severe cold of winter. In feeding bran, there is first the full feeding value in the growth of the stock and then the value in the manure. Cow peas stand next to clover as a .crop for green manuring, and have one advantage in that they rarely fail to catch. Peas and onions can stand the cold of early spring, and they should go in the ground as soon as the frost leaves the soil and permits of preparation. A little stimulation. The sparing use of cayenne pepper in cold weather or of the many “egg foods” (most of which contain cayenme pepper) will fre- quently set hens to laying. Ensilage is preserved corn-fodder. Whatever its value may be as food it offers an inducement to farmers to save their fodder as ensilage, instead of al- lowing such food to be wasted. First-class stock demands first-class management. It is better to stick to scrubs if there is to be no progress or improvement that will permit good stock to give satisfactory results. Make the colts gentle during the winter. Give them a little salt, sugar, apple or anything they like, as you pass around, and treat them kindly. They will learn to like you and will make gentle horses. Professor Georgeson says the flow. ers of the chrysanthemum are com- mon In provision stores in Japan. They are boiled as greens, with vive: gar or sugar, or packed in salt for win- ter like sauer-kraut. While we bundle up in winter, the trees expose themselves. You can see them better then. Youcan read them. You can tell which are prosperous and which are depressed. The orchards are good school-masters in winter. Try them. Winter food really costs no more than that consumed in the summer by the animals. In estimating the cost of summer food the rent of the land occu- pied by the stock as a pasture should always be included, as the land could be made to produce some kind of crop if not used by the stock. Dairymen are more interested in re- ducing the cost of the milk than in seeking the best markets. There are many modes of reducing the cost, and all manner of modes of feeding are adopted, but the only way to reduce the cost is to use pure bred or grade cows. The point to observe is not to restrict the food, but to have one good cow that gives as much milk as two €0ommon Cows. Old orchards may not be profitable while a young orchard muy pay well. The young orchard will contain varie: ties of fruit that are preterred by con- sumers, while the fruit of the old or- chard will not sell at’any price. The tarmer who begins a new orchard can select the varieties preferred by him, and he can profit by the experience of others with such varieties. In the use of manure the coming spring do not expect it to give good re- sults at the start. If the manure has not been rotted while in the heap 1t must rot in the ground before the plants can use it. Ifthe manure is coarse and unrotted use a small proportion ot fertilizer with it, so as to give the plants an early start. They will feed upon the manure later in the season. The new method of grewing celery, known as the “Nivins system,” is to have the plants seven inches apart each way in the rows. Ouly hand cultiva- tion can he given, but enormous crops are secured, and the celery is blanched by being crowded. Itis given liberal applications of chemical fertilizers, and is even irrigated or watered in some manner when the soil becomes dry. Whenever an animal shows signs of being sick do uot allow it to remain with the others, but remove it where it can be quarantined, and there will be less risk of contagious diseases in the flocks or berds. Farmers do not ob- serve this precaution as strictly as they should, but wait until two or more ani- mals are affected before separating the sick ones from those that are well. When a farmer procures a flock of sheep and turns them out to pick their living from weeds and stubble he will not find much profit in sheep raising. The time is going by for sheep to pro- dace something from nothing, Good breeds, abundani pasturage, care in winter and warm shelter for the lambs will revolutionize old methods, as larg- er returns will resuit from the atten- tion bestowed. It is not the economical and intelli gent frait. grower who props the limbs of his trees when the trees are over- loaded with fruit. The proper plan is to thin out the fruit, and it should be done while the fruit is small, When a tree bends with the great weight of ex- tra fruit it is compelled to do extra du- ty in supplying food, while the fruit will not be as good as when but a par- tial crop is born on the tree. Thinning the fruit gives more attractive fruit and better prices. It has been suggested by some of the agricultural journals that in each fruit. growing section some competent man should have charge of the matter of spraying the trees and vinesin order to destroy insect pests, This would not prevent any enterprising frait:grower | from using other preceautions or of spraying oftener, if he so desires, but it | would be a sateguard against the negli- gent frait-growers, who annually allow insects to be propagated to the injury of the crops of their neighbors. My First Assignment. When I was young and ambtious and looked at life through the rose-colored glasses of enthusiasm I yearned 0 be a reporter on a daily newspaper. When 1 got older and had tasted the fruit of expericnce I was perfectly satisfied to let some one else chase the fleeting item through the gloaming, while Ijran a blue pencil through the report until it looked like a new design in wall paper. My first *‘assignment’”’ was a wedding The Hon. Tom Fossill was to be mar- ried and 1 was sent to write the notice of the wedding. When I returned the city editor had gore home, accompanied by a headache. This was what appear- ed the next day : A TANDEM TEAM. ‘Hereafter the Hon. Thomas Fossill will drive tandem with a danger signal carrying the leading-string. A red- headed widow from Kansas filed a homestead claim on him some time ago and proved up on him yesterday befors a justice of the peace. Several of the most prominent citi- zens, who had expected to be present sent their regrets, aud owing to the press of business they could not be present. When a man has press work to do, either in a newspaper office or parlor, he has no time to go to see his bosom friend done up in one round. “The first papers in the case were is- sued by the clerk and recorder. “Two and a half,” said the clerk. “That’s more than my husbands have been in the habit of paying,’ re- plied the blushing soon-to-be bride. “If anything should prevent this plot from being consummated I will expect my money back,’ said Tom. “I am not a Pacific Railroad com- pany,’ replied the clerk ; ‘we give no rebates here.” “At the police court the proceedings passed off with the smoothness and cel- erity of a horse-race. The Judge had been busy 1n the forenoon with a dog case It seems a dog-fight had oc- curred in a salcon, and one man had another arrested for starting the fight. Every fifteen minutes the Court, the principal and the witnesses adjourned to the saloon to get a better idea of just where the fight started and the different, positions of the dogs during the battle. In the afternoon, I regret to say, the Judge was drunk, but as he belongs to the opposite political party this is not to be wondered at and the ‘Daily Blowyyourhorn’ has no hesita- tion in saying that he should be im- peached. “The Judge opened an unbridged dic- tionary and told the happy couple to join hands and circle to the left. There was a bright flush on the cheeks of the bridegroom, but the tender emotion that caused 1t came from’ the heart—a gen- uine heart. flush. “When he had finished mumbling something that sounded to me like a partial defense of his decision in the dog-ficht he nodded at the senior mem- ber of the firm. “She replied in a tone : «J do.” “Then he nodded at Fossill, who an- swered promptly, ‘Guilty.’ ! “Ten dollars and’ costs,” replied His Honor, and the beautiful wedding c re- mony of the Justice Court was ut an of Windy Bill, the bride’s brother, who tried to pull a gun on a stranger. “The happy couple set sail for Fos- gill’s ranch in ‘a prairie ‘schooner yes- terday afternoon.” * * * * The next day I was threatened with discharge, but old Fosssll was so pleased with the notice that he bought ten ex- tra copies of the paper and I retained my place. ~ Chronic Catarrh, As Treated by the Leading Physicians of To- Day. Peruna is a specific for every case of catarrh—for the Acute and the Chronic. The dose of Peruna should be a large tablespoonful before each meal and at bedtime. This dose should be gradua- ally increased to two tablespoonfuls. Women and some delicate men should begin with a teaspoonful, and as slowly and gradually increase to the ahove full dose. The Acute Catarrh and Humid variety of Chronic Catarrh, under this treatment, will disappear in from ore to two weeks; but in the Hypertrophic variety this treatment must be contin- ued in some cases from one to three months; und in very rare or extremely bad cases it must he continued for six months. In some cases of acute catarrh (cold in the head), where the case is se- vere, a teaspoonful of Peruna should be taken every hour. Every one ehould send for a free copy of a treatise on catarrh, coughs, colds and consumption, by the Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, of Columbus, Ohio. Sent free during February and March.

The philosophy of the finger nails is a most interesting study, simple though it may appear at first sight. It has been computed that the aver- age growth of the finger nail is one thirty-second of an inch per week, or a little more than an inch and a-half per year. The growth, however, depends to a great extent upon the rate of nutri- tion, and during periods of sickness it is undoubtedly retarded. It is understood to grow faster in Summer than in Winter, and differs for different fingers, being most rapid in the middle finger and slowest in the thumb and little finger. According to the rate of growth ag- reed upon by eminent authorities the average time taken for each finger nail to grow its full length is about four and a-bhalf months, and at this rate a man of seventy vears would have renewed his nails 187 times. an inch he would have grown and on all his fingers and thumbs an ag- gregate length of seventy-seven feet five inches. t is asserted by some that the nails of the right hand grow faster than those of the left. It is interesting to watch the history of a case of disease as recorded upon the finger nails ; we see on each of them: a distinct ridge, showing that the portion of the nail which has grown since the acute attak is much thinned out. If a person has broken his arm with- in eichteen months, the ridges on the nails of the hand ot the affected arm may be seen, while they will be abscent on the other hand. The more acute the illness the shar- per will be the ridge. Extreme apxiety and mental depression have the same effect on the nails as physical disease. The finger nail is a very enduring evidence of disease. If there has been an acute rheumatism in the system, with a temperature of 104 or 105 de- greees, the nail will be cut down sharp- ly. Ys typhoid fever, where the disease comes on gradually, there is no sharp cutting of the nail. There are several well-known sayings with regard to the paring cf finger, nails and among them are the following : Cut them on Monday, cut them for Lealth ; cut them on Tuesday, cut them for wealth ; cut:‘them on Wednesday, cut them for a letter; cut them on Thursday for something better ; cut them on Friday, you cut for a wife; cut them on Sunday you cut for evil, for all of that week you'll be ruled by the devil.” Marriage a Failure.
