The time to wage war on insects is
when the trees begin to blossom. It
deferred, the work becomes more diffi-
cult. Fruit-growers should spray their
trees and vines at the most favorable
momentg, and care must be exercised
to perform the operatlon so as to do no
injury to the young fruit. Prolessor J.
B. Smith, who has devoted many years
to the study of insects, has given some
valuable hints to those who have had
difficulty in keeping down the pests;
but he is of the opinion that by persis
teat and co-operative effort in the com-
munity the insects can be so kept in
check as to lessen the damage to a
mimimum.
‘
REMEDIES IN THE 801L.
Some of the substances used by fruit-
growers as fertilizers are very destruc-
tive to worms and lice, the most effec-
tive material considering its cost, be-
ing kainit (German potash salts). It
contains a large proportion of common
salt, as well as a fair percentage of pot-
ash and chlorine. It is partially in-
jurious to cut worms, web worms, wive
worms. and eel worms and is applied at
the rate ot about 400 pounds per acre;
but should be applied and harrowed
into the soil before plavting seed, and
especially in time to have the rains dis-
solve 1t, as it may injure the sprouting
plants. The eel worm is really a louse
and is destroyed by exposure to frost.
The *‘yellows’ 1n peaches is caused by
a root plant louse. and when kainit, or
tobacco dust, is applied literally, and
dug into the soil, the trees may be sav-
ed. There is also a peach louse which
attacks the limbs and branches, for
which the kerosene emulsion 18 the
proper remedy.
SPRAYING THE BLOSSOMS.
The egg of the codling moth is laid
upon the blossom end of the empryo
apple, at the time of blossoming, the
young worm penetrating the apple from
that point. The blossoms should be
sprayed several times before the growth
of the apple causes the stem to bend
and the blossom end turn downward, as
the mixture should be deposited within
the blossom cup. Oue pound of Paris
green, or London purple, in 200 gal-
lons of water, well agitated during ap-
plication, is the mixture used for the
purpose. A spoonful of Paris green
added to a pail of whitewash and ap-
plied to thetrunk of the tree, six inches
below and above ground, is a partial
remedy for the borer, and the work
should be done early in May.
THE KEROSENE EMULSION.
For the benefit of those who may
not know how to prepare the kerosene
emulsion (which, however, has been
given repeatedly), the method is as fol-
lows: Dissolve half a pound of hard
soap in one gallon of boiling water.
When the soap is dissolved, remove
the kettle of water from the fire (so as
to avoid danger), and, while the water
is still hot, add two gallons of kerosene,
churning the mixture with a force
pump for ten minutes. When cold it
should be ot a jelly-like consistency.
Add 15 gallons of cold water to one
gallon of the mixture, and spray with
a sprayer which throws a fine spray.
Manure may be an essential sub-
stance for enriching the farm, but the
fact that it is, after all, composed most-
ly of filth, shculd lead tarmers to
preserve it with some absorbent, and
also to so manage the heap as to avoid
diseases that may result from decom-
posing materials. [Flies can carry dis:
ease from manure to the dwelling house
and the stables, and they are usually
very numerous on manure heaps.
Nitrate of soda may be applied on
crops almost at any time, but potash
salts should be applied on the surface
of the ground, after the land is ceeded.
Fertilizers containing an excess of pot-
ash may prove too caustic for young
plants that are above ground at this
season,
Your hogs, says Professer D. Kent,
of Iowa, should have a mud-proot,
dust-proof, rat-proof and stink-proof
floor on which to eat and sleep. Then
you have largely eliminated the cause
of throat and lung diseases.
The boys on the farm should be giv-
en a strip of land tor their own use,
and should be allowed to have all
the money the crop sells for.
This would make them happy and
contented.
Hot coal tar is claimed to be an ex-
cellent preservative of fence posts. In
applying it every portion of the wood
that goes below the surface of the
ground should be well saturated.
Generally hens understand the set
ting and batching business better than
you do, and ‘the less they are
interfered with during the pro
cess of incubation the better.
Apples, peaches, and in fact most
tree fruits, do best on
slopes of timber ridges. Clay soil good
enough to grow wheat is good enongi
for fruit.
If the strawberries are backward ap-
ply 100 pounds of nitrate ot soda per
acre, and the effects of the fertilizer
will be apparent immediately,
The cow that stops chewing her end
and pricks up her ears when being
milked cannot be depended upon to
give all of her milk.
Those who have established a re-
putation as makers of good clean,
first-class butter have no trouble in
disposing of it.

——4T am so tired’’ isa common ex-
clamation a¢ this season. There is a
| certain bracing effect in cold air which
= | is lost when the weather grows warmer ;
i and when Nature is renewing her youth
her admirers reel dull, sluggish and tir-
"ed. This condition is owing mainly to
| the impure conditivn of the blood, and
i its failure to supply healthy tissue to
, the various organs of the body. It is
| remarkable how susceptible the system
| is to the help to be derived trom a good
medicine at this season. Possessing just
those purifying, buildine-up qualities
which the body craves, Hood's Sarsa-
parilla soon overcomes that tired feel-
ing, restores the appetite, purifies the
blood, and, in short, imparts vigorous
health. Its thousands of friends as with
one voice declare. ‘It Makes the
‘Weak Strong.”
——Although Japan is one of the old-
est countries in the world, it has just be-
gun to produce petroleum in large quan-
tities. Two expert drillers of oil wells
in Pennsylvania hare been in Japan for
a yearsinking wells for the Government.
Oddly enough, these wells are drilled
under the waters of the Japan Sea, on
the northern coast of the empire. For
at least 1200 years the Japanese bave
known of the existence of petroleum
along the shore, but the native wells
were dug by hand, and the oil slowly
filled the bottoms, when it was scooped
up in buckets, a few gallons at a time.

——Bessie H. Bedloe, Burlington,

When Doctors All Agree.
It is a fact well established, 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,
Gibson, Overholt, or Bear Creek, you can have
them at 81 00 per quart or six quarts for $5.00.

HARNESS HOUSE.
We extend a most cordial invitation to our
patrons and the public, in general, to witness
one of the
GRANDEST DISPLAY 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 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. Thi.
elegant room has been refitted and furnishea
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
lester. ur factory now occupies a room
xn i£6t and the Store 20x60 8d ed makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
We are 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
in will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford to live in
Bellefonte. We are not indmiging in idle
philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
not making much, but trade is growing and
that is what we are intsrested in now. Profits
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 0
houses of this city'and county would smile if
we compared ourselves to them, but we do not
mean to be so odious, except to venture the as-
section that nene of them can say, as we can
say “NO ONE OWES US A CENT THAT WE
