Farm Notes.
Bees that are hatched in the fall will
live through the winter until the
spring.
Farmers should take an interest in
their county fairs. The fairs educate
all classes.
1t is said that dusting turnip plants
with wood ashes will protect them
against the fly.
This is the time to seed down for a
pasture. Use seed from a variety of
grasses, as some kinds will thrive bet-
ter on certain soils than on other.
Pigs are sometimes afilicted with
lice, and should be well washed occa-
sionally with soapsuds. The kerosene
emulsion is also excellent as a lice de-
stroyer.
It is better to lessen the herd one-
half or two-thirds in number, or reduce
it to a single animal, rather than fill it
with cows that, however fed will little
more than pay their keep.
A well. known horticulturist says
that by cutting out the black knot he
keeps his plum trees free from it, ex-
cepting where his field adjoins neigh-
bors who do not cut it out.
Apply 20 bushels of unleached wood
ashes per acre to the clover. If ashes
are not easily obtained use the same
proportion of air-slaked lime. In the
spring apply 100 pounds of plaster.
Fruit trees are more liable to bear
every year if they are not allowed to
overbear. While thinning fruit when
too thick gives a better quality, it also
gives a better chance to the tree for
next year’s fruit. :
Are the cultivators, harrows, rollers,
plows and farm machinery under shel-
ter or are they scattered over the farm ?
Implements exposed to alternate sun
and rain will not last half as long as
- if taken care of.
At the Ontario Experiment Station
tests have been made with barley, a
yield of over 57 bushels per acre hav-
ing been obtained with the Maudscher-
ri, a new variety, the seed of which
was obtained from Russia.
Several years ago there was a strong
rivalry between the breeders of Here-
fords, Shorthorns and Galloways—all
beet producing breeds—but this rivalry
is passing away, the breeders now
turning their attention mostly to the
obliteration of the scrub.
The horse needs green food and
should be allowed grass once a day, if
possible, even if but a few minutes can
be afforded for that purpose. Green
food regulates the bowels and prevents
ailments due to a continued course of
food that is seldom varied.
The latest report is that the little
red spider has found the eggs of the
Colorado beetle serviceable, and that
during the past season thespiders have
multiplied rapidly and destroyed many
of the eggs of beetles. The red spider
is a nuisance, but may be tolerated if it
will assist in keeping the potato beetle
in check.
The value of coal ashes as a fertiliz-
eris not sufficient to authorize their
use for that purpose. When the coal
ashes contain ashes of wood, however,
which is usually the case, it will pay
to use them. On light sandy soils coal
ashes have a tendency to make the soil
somewhat heavier, taking the place of
clay in that respect.
Broad tires are being adopted by
many farmers, and they report favora-
bly of them. The condition of the
roads, however, should be considered
in selecting broad or narrow tires. On
good roads, that are hard and solid,
light tires may be used because they
lessen the load. Broad tires, serve
best on wagons that are to carry heavy
loads over poor roads.
Farmers buy a great many things
that they can produce to better advan-
tage than to buy. Cows, steers, sheep
and hogs, as well as vegetables, are
eagerly purchased by farmers, and they
pay high prices for scrubs. The tarm-
er who will not have an animal on his
farm that he has not bred himself, or
which is well known to him, will soon-
er or later meet with success.
The advantage of using breeds, and
of gradually improving stock of all
kinds is shown by comparison. A
century ago a steer weighing 500
pounds whs considered something far
above the average, but at the present
time it 18 not unusual to find a large
display of cattle at fairs which com-
prise many weighing over a ton each.
When one kind of fruit is affected
with rot there is a liability of the other
kinds being also attacked. According
to the report of the Agricultural De-
partment, the bitter rot, of apples is
identical with the grape rot though the
latter is not bitter. It is a fungi, and
attacks peppers also. Thie demon-
strates that fungicides cannot be used
too freely to destroy rot.
Professor Cooke, of the Vermont Ex-
periment Station, states that in his ex-
periments he finds that the ensilaged
stalks and pulled corn (after the latter
is dried and ground) have less feeding
value than the same corn eusilaged
whole, and that the large amount of
labor involved in pulling the corn, dry-
ing, busking and grinding, is not only
vesied, but actually diminishes the
value,
The value of sheep as renovators of
the eoil has long been recognized.
Leavout the profit that may be obtain:
ed from mutton, lamb and wool, the
presence of sheep on the farm adds to
the fertility of the soil and reduces the
number of weeds, The manure from
sheep is not ouly evenly distributed
over. the surface, but is pressed into the
goil by their feet. Worn out soils have
been renewed in a few years by being
given up entirely to sheep.
TE PEN IEA SRE TAB R IR TRA
The “Pint” With Old Pete.
Other People Might Not Miss Him But He
Preferred to Live.
Old Pete was a philosopher. He was
described to me as having both a retro-
spective and philosophical cast of coun-
tenance. He bad been a soldier, having
belonged to one of the most gallantly
behaved colored regiments that fought
in the battle of Fort Donelson.
The person to whom I am indebted
for the following dialogue discovered old
Pete upon the hurricane deck ot a Mis-
Op tar and by way of an intro-
duction said :
“I suppose you were in the war, for
you look like a soldier ?”’
“Yes, sah ; I had a leetle taste ob it
at Fo’t Donelson.”
“Stood your ground, did you ?”
“No, sah; runned.”
“Ran at the first fire, did you ?”’
“Yaas, sah ; would hab run soonah
if I'd knowed it was comin’,”’
“Why, that was not very creditable
to your courage.”
“‘Massab, wah wasn’t in my line;
cookin’ were my profeshin.”
“Well, but had you no regard for
your reputation ?”’
“Yes, sah; but reputation’s nuffin
whateber to me de side of life.”
“Do you consider your life worth
more than other people’s ?”
‘““Wuth more to me, sah !”’
1 “Then you must value it very high-
y.2!
“I does, sah, more dan all dis world ;
mo’ah dan a million dollars, for what
am dat to a man wid de bref out’n him-
self. Preservation am de fust law,
sah.”
‘“But why should you act upon a
different rule from other men ?”
“(Case different men has different val-
lers on dair libes. Mine am not in de
market.’’
“But, if you had lost it in the war, you
would have had the satisfaction of know
ing that you died for your country.”
‘Wat satisfaction would dat be, mas-
sah, wid de power of fellin’ gone ?’’
“Then patriotism and honor are noth-
ing to you ?”’
“Nuffin’ whatever, sah ; nuffin’ what-
ever. I ’gards ’em as ’mong de
vanities,” .
“But if our soldiers had all been like
you, traitors might have broken up the
government without resistance.”
‘“Yaas, sah, dar wud been no help fur
it.”
“Do you think any of you company
Novia have missed you had been kill-
e Mm
“Mebbe not, massah; a dead white
man ain’t much account let alone a
dead niggah ; but I'd miss myself awful-
ly, and dat wus de pint wid old Pete.”
Obedience Appreciated.
The Duke of Wellington Salutes an Honest Lad.
An English farmer was one day at
work in the fields, when he saw a party
of huntsmen riding about his farm, He
had one field that he was specially anx-
ious they should not ride over, as the
crop was 1n a condition to be badly in-
jured by the tramp of horses, so he dis-
patched a boy in his employ to this field,
telling him to shut the gate and keep
watch over it and on no account to saf-
fer it to be opened. The boy went as
he was bid, but wasscarcely at his post
before the huntsmen came up, peremp-
torily ordering the gate to be opened.
This the boy declined to do, stating tke
orders he had received, and his determi-
nation not to dischey them. Threats
and bribes were offered in vain. After
awhile one of noble presence advanced
and said in commanding tones: “My
boy, do you not know me? I am the
Duke of Wellington—and I command
you to open the gate.”
The boy lifted his cap, then answered
firmly: “I am sure the Duke of Wel-
lington would not wish me to disobey
orders, I must keep this gate shut. No
one is to pass through but with my mas-
ter’s express permission.”
Greatly pleased, the sturdy old war-
rior lifted his own hat and said: “I
honor the man or boy who can be nei-
ther bribed nor frightened into doing
wrong. Withan army of such soldiers,
I could conquer the world.”
‘——Some very good advice about
marrying is given to girls by Harper’s
Bazaae. 1 quote a small portion of a
long article on the subject :
“A man often does a girl great in-
justice in supposing that she cares more
for three material things than for what
be has to offer her-—love, companion-
ship, & true heart, While to marry
without some certain means of support
is an undoubted folly, to marry ona
small income, when both parties to the
contract are united in their determina-
tion to face the world together, is a
piece of wisdom. There is a certain
elan in meeting and conquering diffi-
culties when people are young and
strong. The very effort to accomplish
an end on which two are set draws the
two into a closer union.
“If there is bread for one, there will
be bread for two,” said the yonng wife
of a man who set out to try what his
brave heart and skilled hands could do
to build up the fortune of his tamily in
& new environement half way across the
globe. The true wife would not remain
in the old home with her parents in lux-
ury when the youg husband was start-
ing out in perils of sea snd land. They
Jara their day of small things side by
side.
The imperative and especial demand of
the day of small things is mutual confi-
dence and inflexible justice. Granted
these premises, the result is never un-
certain.

LMOST MASS SORES
80 PAINFUL NO REST AT NIGHT. DOC.
TOR NO HELP. CURE SPEEDY AND
COMPLETE BY CUTICURA.
Late in the fall of 1890 I was afflicted with
salt rheum or eczema. My face, head, and
neck were almost a complete mass of sores
and some other parts of my body were afflicted
I had been letting it run, thinking it was
nothing but a simple skin disease and it would
cure itself, bat I soon found out my mistake,
for the sores became so painful I could not
rest at night. I called a physician and began
to take his medicine, bat it did not help me in
the least. A friend of mine prevailed on me
to iry your Cuticura Remedies, which I did
using the Cuticura and Cuticura Soap exter-
nally, and the Cuticura Resolvent internally,
and from the start it began to help me, the
sores began to heal up and disappear and my
health became better, my appetite keener,
and I began to gain in fiesh, and I think I am
now completely cured. My skia is as smooth
and as fine as it ever was. 1 send you my por
trait. I heartily recommend your Cuticura
Remedies to all those afflicted with skin or
blood diseases, for I am positive they will cure
them.

HARNESS HOUSE.
We extend a most cordial invitation to mr
patrons and the public, in general, to witnes
one of the
GRANDEST DISPLAY OF
Light and Heavy Harness
ever put on the Bellefonte market, which wiil
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. This
elegant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
lesther. 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
ou 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. Brofite
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 big (1)
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 none of them can say, as we can
say “NO ONE OWES US A CENT THAT WE
CAN'T GET.” This is the whole story.
