Democratic: ae Bellefonte, Pa., April 7, 1893. Farm Notes. Getting ready for the corn crop makes the farmer busy in the spring and if the late winter compels him to -defer his plowing until April, or as late as May, if the season is we!, he may be satisfied to plant the seed with as little preparation as possible, but the proper preparation of the land intend ed for corn has great influence on the crop during the difterent stages of growth, as its ability to secure an ear- ly start and to endure drought (should there be a dry period) greatly depends upon the first preparation of the ground. Because corn is a gross feed- er, and covers the ground near the surface with a network of roots and rootlets, the plant is considered able to assist itself in securing any and all plant food that may be present for its use; but this depends on the age of the planis and the fineness of the soil, any advantage gainly early in the sea- son peng a valuable aid later on- ADVANTAGES OF A FINE BOIL. If the soil is made fine by plowing the ground and harrowing it down until the seed-bed is like that of a gar- den the earth will absorb greater warmth and moisture, and as soon as the seed germinates, and begins to send out its roots as feeders, the fineness of the soil permits of easier penetration of the roots, larger feeding surtace, and a more abundant supply of roots, which will be induced by the better supply of food presented. The consequences will be that the young corn plants will secure an early start, have greater feed- ing facilities, and soon hold a position that will permit them to better with- stand the effects of a dry season. The additional expense of harrowing the soil until itis very fine is but an item compared with the benefits secured to the plants when they are young, and at a time when the farmer is most anx- ious to have his crop well under way in growth. CULTIVATING THE CROP. The cultivator is a useful implement with a corn crop, and it should be used ‘early and often.” The grass and weed must at no time be allowed in a field of growing corn, and the cultiva- tion of the soil not only prevents this but serves to keep the soil loose, the loose top soil becoming a mulch, and protecting the crop during drought. It is not necessary to cuitivate deep enough to disturb the roots, but to simply keep the surface loosened. Level culture is claimed to be the best for corn by those who do not favor deep plowing, but recent experiments show that excellent results are obtain- ed by deep plowing, thorough harrow- ing and shallow, level culture, much depending, however, on the nature of the =oil and the condition of the sea- sons. The striped cucumber beetle is one that causes much annoyance on squashes and cucumbers, feeding upon the leaves, the larva feeding upon the roots. There are two broods during the season. The best preveative 18 to cover the young plants with cheap boxes, having mus'in tops, or which are made of mosquito netting. The usual remedies are Paris green, mixed with flour or plaster, ashes, lime and tobacco dust, sprinkled over the plants. A solution of a teaspoonful of nitrate ot soda in a quart of water is also used with success. Apply these remedies twice a week, early in the morning, when the dew is on the vines, and to both the upper and under sides of the leaves. : It is not necessary 10 feed the dry cow on concentrated food, but she should be kept in proper coudition. The regulation of her food is more a matter or observance than the adop- tion of a system for such cows when there are several ot them. The indi- vidual requirements of each must be noticed, especially as they may vary in the periods of calving: Attention to the proper feeding of dry cows will of- ten prevent milk fever when the cows are 1p service. When hens lay eggs that have thin shells the cause is due to an over fat condition of the fowls, resulting from high feeding. Theremedy is to omit grain from the ration, and reduce the food one-half in quantity. A pound ot lean meat and cut bone will be found beneficial, provided grain is omitted. A hen that doesn’t lay is losing money for her owner just the same as a dry cow, and it takes skill to keep a confined hen in laying condition. It takes more brains and industry to run a hen-farm than to run a dairy. It has been found that a ton of air- dry pigweed contains as much phos- phoric acid, twice as much nitrogen and nearly five times as much potash as a ton of ordinary manure, There are few crops which will yield more money per acre, under high cul- tivation, than celery. And few sec tions in which a man could not make it a profitable specialty. Thoroughly fine the soil for pota- toes. Plant on well drained land. A large crop of potatoes need not be ex- pected from wet, clammy soil. It must be loose and fertile. It is best to deepen the soil gradual: ly. If plowed too deep all at once so much subsoil will be thrown on the productive soil that it will not produce as well. Now that warmer weather will soon be here the swill barrel will be the most prolific source of disease in swine owing to the filth it may contain. Planting strawberries in the spring, taking off a crop the next year, and then plowing under is an easy, sensible way of managing this crop. Man's Organism. Many Reasons For Calling It a Fearful and Wonderful Creation. In the human body there are about 263 bones. The muscles are about 500 in number. The length of the aliment- ary canal is about 32 feet. The amount of blood in an adult averages 30 pounds, or fully one fitth of the entire weight. The heart is 6 inches in length and 4 inches 1n diameter, and beats 70 times per minute, 4,200 times per hour, 100, 800 times per day, 36,792,000 times per year, 2,665,440 in three score and ten, and at each beat 2} ounces of blood are thrown out of it, 175 ounces per minute, 656 pounds per hour, 7% tons per day. All the blood in the body passes through the heart in 3 minutes. This little organ by its ceaseless industry, pumps each day what is equal to lift- ing 122 tons 1 foot high. The lungs will contain about 1 gallon of air at their usual degree of inflation. We breathe on an average 1,200 times per hour: inhale 600 gallons of air or 24,000 per day. The aggregaie surface of the air cells of the lungs exceeds 20,000 square inches, an area nearly equal to tne floor of a room twelve feet square. The average weight of the brain of an adult male is 3 pounds and 8 ounces; of a female, 3 pounds 4 ounces. The nerves are all connected with it, direct- ly or ‘by the spinal marrow. These nerves, together with their branches and minute ramifications, probably ex- ceed 10,000,000 in number, forming a “body gnard” outnumbering hy far the greatest army ever marshaled ! The skin is composed of three layers, and varies from one-fourth to one-eight of an inch in thickness. The atmos- pheric pressure being about fourteen pounds to the square inch, a person of medium size is subjected to a pressure of 40,000 pounds. Each square inch of skin contains 3,500 sweating tubes, or prespiratory pores, each of which may be likened to a little drain pipe one- fourth of an inch long, making an agreg- ate length of the enure surface of the body of 201.166 feet, or a tile ditch for draining the body almost forty miles long. Man is marvelously made. Who is eager to investigate the curious and wonderful works of Omnipotent Wis- dom, let him not wander ths wide world around to seek them, but exam- ine himself.— Popular Science Monthly. ——The Spring, of all seasons in the year, is the one for making radical changes in regard to health. During the winter, the system becomes to a cer- tain extent elogzed with waste, and the blood loaded with impuriti:s, owing to lack of exercise, close confinement in poorly ventilated shops and homes, and other causes. This is the cause of the dull, sluggish, tired feeling so generai at this season, and which must be over- come, or the health may be entirely broken down. Hood’s Sarsaparilla bas attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the favorite Spring Med - icine. Itexpels the accumulation of impurities through the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs aad skin, gives te the blood ‘the purity and quality necessary to good health and overcomes that tired feeling. Crepe Paper Mats. Inexpensive mats tor tables and dress- ers are made from the crepe papers so much used for flowers and shades. They are circular in shape aad made of a cov- ering of the paper laid smoothly over a foundation of heavy paper or cardboard They are edged with a trill of the paper and have the exact appearance of mats made from crepe. They are much liked under lamps having shades or the same kind of paper. ——Ely’s Cream Balm is wcrth its weight in gold as a cure for catarrh. One bottle cured me.—3S. A. Lovell, Franklin. Pa.

My wife has been troubled for years with dry crusts and scales on her head and eye brows. After seeming to lie dormant for years in her system, it broke over a year ago in all fury. Her hair came out in big patches, her eyebrows all tell off, and she presented a pit- iable condition. We tried almost everything, but she continued to get worse. Thin we tried one of our best physicians, but all to no purpose. Finally my wite believed that the Cuticura Remedics would cure her. After she had used nine boxes of Cuticura, and about a dozen cakes of Cuticura Soap, and four bot- tles of Cuticura Resolvent. she was cured en- tirely. Her hair came on again, and to-day she has as fine a head of black curly hair and as smooth as any lady in Allentown. Her eye- brows are heavier than they ever were, her scalp is free from dandruff, and her health is excellent. Now for the benefit of those sui- fering with same disease, or to those who may doubt the truthfulness of this statement. write me, inclosing a stamp, and I will cheerfully answer.
