Farm Notes.
Clover and grass will make the hens
lay if they lack food of a variety, espe-
cially when they are kept in confine-
ment. :
Those who have tried it claim that
when the cow is groomed and cared for
in the same manner as is the horse she
pays for the extra labor bestowed by an
1ncreased yield of milk.
When there is too much cutting of the
branches to let in the rays of the sun,
there is also a lessening of the breathing
capacity of the tree or vine by reducing
:ts leaf surface.
The worst idea that a farmer can get
into his head is that he needs more land.
‘We have seen a good many farms, but
geldom one where more labor could not
be better employed than more land.
It will be found an advantage to clean
out the hay loft and sweep it with a
broom betore new hay is stored. The
number of mice and insects found snug-
ly domiciled in the loft will be surpris-
ing.
Butter may be injured by too much
churning, and it may fail in quality be-
cause old and mew cream is mixed.
During the summer the temperature
must be carefully regulated by the fre-
quent use of the thermometer.
Always have a special object in view.
If the keeping of live stock is made a
business make the stock fit the business.
Breed up, and aim to get as far away
from the original scrub foundation stock
as possible, and the result will event-
ually be success.
A man who permits fence rows to
harbor weeds cannot maintain a repu-
tation as a good farmer. It either
proves that he is very slack in his meth-
ods, or that the farm does not pay well
enough to allow putting any labor
upon such useless (?) accessories.
1f wo can get hold of anything that
will enrich the crops, and at the same
time destroy insect pests and ward off
diseases, we shall accomplish that very
difficult feat of killing two birds with
one stone. The entomologist of the
New Jersey Experiment Station, says
that kainit, or German potash salts,
possesses this valuable double quality.
It will pay to go through your or-
chard searching for the eggs of the
tent caterpillar. They are deposited in
rings around twigs about an eight of an
inch in diameter. We know a boy, who,
competing for prizes offered by a village
improvement society, has within a
month collected 3700 rings of eggs ; the
rings average fully 100 eggs each, so he
has put an end to the career of at least
270,000 caterpillars. Other boys have
done nearly as well.
No matter whether a farmer wants to
plant spruce for timber, a few on the
windward side of houses and barns to
shelter them from the fierce storms will
rove a profitable investment. The
Norway spruce is a rapid grower, and a
windbreak once plated will every year
prove a better protection, and prove
more valuable. It makesa better wind-
break to plant two rows about 10 feet
apart, with some deciduous trees be-
tween. What wind one tree does not
obstruct the other row will catch.
Itis said that the English sparrows,
which have often been accused of eating
the buds of fruit trees, are now proving
themselves guilty, and suffering the pen-
alty for it, by dying of poisoning where
the trees have been sprayed with Paris
green before the buds open. If this is
true, it is an additional reason for early
spraying, and by that means we can rid
our orchards and fields of a pest that is
almost as bad, if not worse, than the
worms they were brought here to sub-
due, but which they seem to have little
fancy for.
The loss of time by the use of dull
tools, or of implements not adapted for
the purpose to which they may be ap-
plied, compels the farmer to hire more
help than should be the case if he was
alive to the opportunities offered by la-
bor-saving appliances. A comparison
of the old-time method of cutting the
wheat with the scythe and by the pres-
ent method of cutting and binding the
wheat with the harvester, is sufficient to
show that the enormous crops of wheat
could not now be grown and harvested
under old systems. The labor that once
assisted in the fields bas been transferred
to the workshops, more mechanics and
fewer farm laborers being the result.
The tact that wheat and corn sell at
lower prices than formerly does not im-
ply that the profits are less. The ex-
pense of one bushel of wheat, before the
introduction of the newest improved ma-
chines, was more than the selling prices
of to-day, and the profits were as small
as at the present time. Machinery as-
sists in increasing the number of bushels
and reduces the cost, which includes al-
go the necessary work attendant on
maintaining a larger number of laborers
and teams. A comparison of profits
will show that labor-saving machinery
enables the farmer to secure larger prof-
its now than in former days, and that
the work is less arduous and fatiguing.
The farmer of half a century ago was
daily on the watch for rains and sun-
shine, and he was also compelled to face
delays that often involved the loss of the
entire crop, but at the present day he
cuts and binds a whole field alone. rid- |

eral days for his ancestors to perform, |

cut up for seed, planted, covered and

is loaded upon the wagon while the
horses are walking along the windrows.
Vehicles are also lighter and stronger,
and the manure can be spread over the
ground by an attachment to the wagon.
A. glance over the field will show a most
wonderful progress in the invention of

the farm, which places farming within
the reach of many who could not other-

strange to say, the wages of farm labor-
ers are higher than before, for improved
implements have assisted many of them

Louisville Struck,
A Wind’ Storm Upsets Heavy Engines in a!
Round house.
LoulsviLLE, Ky., May 23.-~A heavy
wind and rain storm struck this city at
4 o'clock this morning. The wind first
struck the Louisville and Nashville
round-house and lifted the roof clear
from the building. The building would
have withstood the pressure but the roof
crashed into the interior. :
Heavy engines were overturned like
tops and eight men at work about the
engines miraculously escaped injury.
As the roof lifted each man dived into a
pit under his engine and there lay un-
scathed until the storm subsided.
From the round house to the centre of
the city little damage was done but in
the squares bounded by Campbeil,
Hancock, Broadway and Green streets a
number of business places and residences
were damaged, several places being
completely wrecked. No lives were
lost and no one very seriously injured.
Forty thousand dollars will cover the
damages.

ACE ALMOST RAW.
ERUPTION FROM BIRTH. DOCTOR AND
SIMPLE REMEDIES FAILED. CURED
IN THREE WEEKS BY CUTICURA,
I wish to thank vou for the good that Cuti”
cura has done my child. I send portrait. A
short time after its birth its face broke out
with some kind of eruption. I consulted our
family doctor about it, and he tcld me there
was not much to be done for it. We tried some
simple remedies. and they all failed to do any
good. At last I thought to try Cuticura Reme
dies, and the result is wonderful. My wife used
Cuticura Remedies abont four times a day. At
the time we first commenced to uze Cuticura,
the face was almost raw. It looked the same
as a burn would look as if the skin was peeled
! off, and after about three weeks’ use of the Cu-
ticura Remedies it was cured. I did not think
Cuticura would amount to much, but the result
has changed my mind. I will never be with-
out them.

QCHOFIELD'S NEW
: 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 gecubled
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. ThiL
slogan room has been refitted and furnishea
with glass cases in which the harness can bs |

heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
lester. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet and the store 20x60 added 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
you will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford to live in
Bellefonte. We are not 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
