Farm Notes.
Thin out the fruit if the trees are
overloaded, as that is the surest mode
of securing fruit of large size and of at-
tractive appearance.
An old fruit tree may sometimes be
renewed s0 as to bear for years by cut-
ting it back geverely, giving good culti-
vation and applying fertilizers every
season.
After planting shrubs, vines, etc,
watch them that they do not dry out.
An occasional watering in dry weather
will be necessary until they become
well established.
Have good cows and then keep them
milking as long as possible each year.
Especially arrange to have them giving
milk through the winter months when
butter is highest.
Daily exercise is necessary for all
horses unless they are sick ; it assists
and promotes 4 free circulation of the
blood, creates an appetite, improves
the whole system.
In a comparison of silage with mixed
hay for lambs at the Cornell Station,
New York, four pounds of silage took
the place of about one pound of hay
and proved cheaper at current prices
than hay.
1t does not pay to hold a fat animal
until prices are higher unless the pros-
pects are plain for a rapid rise, as
there may be no further increase ex-
cept at an expese that will not be en-
couraging.
Many trees exhaust themselves in an
attempt to produce fruit, and only bear
a worthless kind, when a little trouble
and expenditure to supply them with
fertilizer would strengthen the trees
and make the fruit salable.
As many as a thousand bushels of
potatoes have been grown on an acre
of land, yetit hasonly been accom-
plished when fertilizers were used lib-
erally and in quantity to insure more
than a sufficiency of plant tood for the
crop.
Experiments with cabbage show that
depth of planting has no effect on the
size of the heads, and that disturbance
of the plants, loosening the roots,
though sometimes beneficial in pre
venting “cracking” of the heads, also
lessens the growth in other respects.
Beef cattle should pay as well in the
East asin the West. Food can be
purchased and converted into manure
while the cattle are growing, and al-
though but a small profit may be
noticed from the cattle the farm will
have been increased in fertility and pro:
ductivenese. .
There is not much farm land in this
country so situated or so poor that it
will not pay reasonably for the cultiva-
tion—that is, if it is cultivated proper-
ly. It may need some manuring first,
or draining, or more thorough working
than it has ever had—but given these
and it will pay.
Linseed oil, colored with any prefer-
red coloring matter, makes a cheap
paint for outbuildings, and may be ap-
plied every year or two with but little
expense. Keeping the farm buildings
brightened up, either with paint or
whitewash, adds additional value to
the whole farm.
This is the time of year to consider
what you will do this fall about fruit
planting. Keep watch of the markets
and see what is most in demand in
your own locality and prepare to sup:
ply it. Don’t plant anything just be-
cause all the neighbors have it. That
is the way to make an over-production.
When every acre of the farm cannot
be made to produce something it is a
sure indication that the farmer has too
much land. It is better to cultivate
only as much as can be well manured
and kept clean than to leave vacant
fields that keep the farm stocked with
weeds to be spread over the cultivated
land. .
July and August are the months
when “grub in the head” plays havoc
with sheep. As a preventive give the
sheep a dark place in which to escape
the fly, and also have a furrow plowed
in the field, as the sheep will often
place their noses in the soft earth as a
protection. - Tar, smeared on the nos-
trils, is also a protection to a certain
extent.
The distance traveled by a horse
when cultivating a piece of land, from
early morn until sundown, is many
miles, and also very exhausting, as in
addition to traveling the distance, it
draws a load. This should not be ov-
erlooked at night, and in order to af-
ford the animal a sufficiency of food
and rest it must be free from the an-
noyance of insects. For this reason
the stable should receive careful atten-
tention in regard to cleanliness.
Bacon and pork bring high “prices at
present. There should be a fair profit
to breeders in the East in producing
pork, especially when the prices are so
good. There is always a waste of cer-
tain foods that can be well utilized by
swine, and if only one or two pigs are
raised they will pay a profit compared
with other stock. Despite the fact
that the West produces cheap corn and
pork the prices now received for pork
are larger than for many years pre
viously.
Fat sheep, of large size, command
good prices. Itis not easy to secure
fat sheep that present an attractive ap-
pearance on the market stalls, although
there are apparently plenty of sheep
offered for sale, The attention given
to wool has not been conductive to
breeding the best mutton sheep. A
ram of the Shropshire, Oxford or
Southdown breeds, if used for grading the
flock with the view of producing choice
mutton, will make a marked improve:
ment in a flock in a single season.

sage for twelve days, and a choice of

New York’s Greatest Property Owners.
The Astor estate will pay in taxes
this year $420,000. This is more
than the entire sum of city taxes col-
lected in 1890. There is only one
family richer than the Astors, and
that is the Vanderbilt, which pays
$608,000; but as this includes a good
deal of city railroad property the Astor
real estate, exclusively owned by the
family, is undoubtedly the more valu-
able. The Lorillard family pays $131,-
000 in taxes, which means that its
city property is actually worth more
than $10,000,000, while the Jay Gould
estate is assessed $134,000. These are
the four richest estates in the city.
From the tax books just made up it
appears that the most valuable build
ings in New York are the Equitable,
at 120 Broadway, assessed at $3,800,
000; the Fifth Avenue Hotel, $1,800,
000; the Mills building, $1.700,000 ;
Mutual Life building in Nassau street,
$1,625,000 ; the Western Union build-
ing, $1,625,000; the Astor House,
$1,400,000, and the Stewart building,
$1,600,000. The real values are near-
ly if not quite double the rate at which
they are assessed.

ISSIONARY'S STORY
HOW ‘HE SUFFERED FROM ECZEMA.
DOCTORS FAILED. GREW WORSE.
DEATH ONLY RELIEF EXPECTED.
I have been troubled with chronic Eczema
on my limbs. The itching was very annoying
and made me unfit for work. I had tried
many remedies and consulted a good physi-
cian, but received no permanent relief. A
friend told me of the Cuticura Remedies. 1
then sent for a copy of your book, more than a
ear ago, and now I wish I had the book and
egun to use the Cuticura Remedies at once.
But the doctor said the remedies, good in
some cases, would be of no use Lo me, and con-
tinued to prescribe for me for nine months.
I grew worse. Death would have been a relief
and it was the only relief I expected. Just
then wife (I thank God for a good one)
found the hook you sent in some out-of-the-wa,
place and read it through. She discharge
She attending physician and said we would try
the
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Procured one box of Cuticura, one cake of Cu-
ticura Soap, and a bottle of Cutiucra Resolvent.
1 began to use them about the middle of last
August, procuring a new Sapply when the first
was exhausted. Iam now well and attend to
my missionary work. I am Secretary of the
Sullivan County Bible Society (portrait en-
closed). Have been engaged in missionar;
work in the county for eighteen years. To
recommend the Cuticura Remedies to suffering
humanity will be a part of my missionary
work in the future.

A} CHOFIELD'S NEW
HARNESS HOUSE,
We extend a most cordial invitation to uo
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 exelu-
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 furnished
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
leainer. 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.
Weare 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
Jou will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford to live in
Bellefonte. We are nol 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

men during the winter they were all put te
