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.

HAIR RESTORED BY
CUTICURA.
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. [am sure that the Cuticura Remedies
cured my wife, for she used nothing else dur-
ing the four or five months she used them.

When Doctors All Agree.
It isa fact well establishad, that February
and March are the most trying months to aged
or enfeebled persons. Pneumonia, influenza
and kindred chest afflictions, are most liable
to get in their deadly work. There is but one
thing to do, build up and and fortify the sys-
tem with a pure stimulant. Medical men sll
over the country agree that Klein's “Silver
Age” at $1.50 per quart, and “Duquesne’’ at
$1.25 per quart, stand without a peer. If you
want fine six year old Guckenheimer, Finch,

them at $1 00 per quart or six quarts for $5.00.

sively for tha sale of harness, being the first
exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as
heretofore the custom has been to sell goods

with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat aud dust, the enemies of long wear in
lesiner. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet and the store 20x60 added makes
the iargest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.

the future than we have done in the past and
we want everyone to see our goods and
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
fou will buy. Our profits are not large, but
