Bellefonte, Pa., Sep. 15, 1893.
Farm Notes.
A little paint on the buildings adds
greatly to the appearance, preserves
the wood, and gives an additional val-
ue to the whole farm.
Extend the first milking period of
the heifer as far as possible, as the
first season will largely afiect her fu-
ture usefulness as a milker.
The farmers who complain that
sheep do not pay are wool growers.
When the farmer makes a specialty of
mutton sheep they always give good
returns,
It costs something to grind the corn
for hogs, but if the corn is soaked be-
fore feeding it will be more highly rel-
ished by hogs, and be in the best con-
dition for them.
Regarding the poisoning of fruit by
spraying with arsenical compounds it
is estimated that a man must eat sey-
eral barrels of apples at one time in or-
der to get a fatal dose.
Salt is beneficial to animals in many
ways. It is destructive to some forms
of parasites, and, when sulphur is giv-
en occasionally with salt, worms in
the intestines may be prevented or de-
stroyed.
The cow that receives the same al-
lowance of food daily may be better
than is known. There isno such thing
as an allowance of food for a productive
cow. She should have as much as
she can eat at every meal.
In storing away onions for winter,
spread them in thin layers, first allow-
ing them to become thoroughly dry
after harvesting. Do not disturb them
afterward. If onions should become
frozen during the winter they will be
but httle damaged if left undisturbed.
When a hog is compelled to eat a
portion of his food in the shape of filth
he will not increase as rapidly as when
fed on clean and wholesome food.
Many supposed outbreaks of hog chol-
era may be traced to overfeeding on
corn exclusively and lack of cleanli-
ness.
Select the best ears of corn for seed.
Do not remove the husks if it can be
avoided, but fasten the ears together
in bunches and hang up in a dry place
80 as to protect from mice. Dampness
is injurious to seed corn, and the ears
saved for seed should be thoroughly
dry before using.
Fruit that is shipped to market in
barrels, crates or large, boxes may be
made to give a larger profit if shipped
in neat baskets or small boxes instead,
and the cost of the baskets will be but
a small sum compared with the in-
creased prices secured by the more ai
tractive appearance of the fruit.
Public tastes bring out the actual
work of a cow. Among the; Jerseys at
the World’s Tair is “Little Goldie,”
who is claimed to have made 34
pounds 8} ounces of butter at home,
but the best she can do at Chicago is
14 pounds in one week. The test at
Chicago is playing havoc with private
records.
Formerly there was no mode of har-
vesting corn but to cut down the stalks
by hand, but the corn harvester has
come to stay and is saving labor, But
little work is now necessary in growing
a crop of corn that cannot be done
with horse power and at but s small
outlay for labor compared with the
work of former years.
The winters in this climate are mild
at certain times, and stock can then
find exercise, but some preparation
should be made, to protect during se-
vere weather. An open shed is an ex-
cellent place for stock, as it affords
plenty of fresh air without exposure to
winds and rains, and costs but little.
This is the season for building.
Turnips, parsaips, carrots and beets
may be stored in pits outside of the
barn, or in mounds. One of the meth-
ods that has been tried with success, is
to store them in bins, using dry sand
to fill in between them. This method
permits of using them at any time,
while, if they are stored in pits, they
may be sealed up by the frost.
Clover hay, if cut fine, and scalded
or steamed, is relished by all classes of
stock, poultry included, and is the
cheapest and best of all foods, espec-
ially if fed in connection with ground
grain. Iu greatly supplies the place of
green food, and is invigorating if
fed warm on a cold day. Retain your
hay for winter use instead of selling it.
Farming is a business which de-
pends on many little details and condi.
tions affecting each farm. The frost
may appear on a plot of land, while
but a hundred feet away its effects, if
any, may not be noticed. One plot
will be more difficult to work than an-
other adjoining it, and the exposure of
the land to the sun, its drainage, its
nearness to timber, the texture of the
goil, the kinds of crops previously
grown, and other matters make a farm
entirely different from the next, each
farmer being govenred by circumstan-
ces affecting his farm only.
The usual mode of storing cahbages
for winter is to bury them, beads down
and roots up. A better method is to
place them close together in a furrow,
roots down, then throwing the dirt to
them and adding anotvrer layer of dirt
until a compact bed of cabbage is made
Now cover with straw or hay and
place cornstalks on the hay. When
wanted for use remove a portion of the
hay, cut oft the heads desired and
leave thestalks. In the spring remove
the hay and the cabbage stalks will
produce early sprouts, or “green.” All
that is necessary is to keep the cab
bages from thawing too suddenly. If
buried heads down they soon begin to
rot after the frost is gone and the
rains come in the spring.
Hard on Poor Kansas.
A long-legged man in a black sombre-
ro leaned upon the railing in the Kan-
sas State Building and gazed intently
on the exhibit of stuffed animals. Af-
ter he had made a most thorough inspec-
tion of the beasts he turned to a Chica-
go Herald man at his side and said :
«] was brought up in the West and
know Kansas from the river to the Col-
orado line and I will tell you stranger,
that there never was a polar bear in the
State. Why, a polar bear would dry
up there in two weeks. And then look
at that mink! Never was a mink in
Kansas. Why, do you know, stranger,
a mink would roll up and die in that
‘country before it had time to gnaw a
bole in the ground. And then look at
that Rocky Mountain goat! Just look
at that goat! Why, stranger, there
isn’t a mountain in Kansas that’s bigger
than a sunken grave. And will you
look at that? What do you think of it ?
Here these people have got an alligator
in their exhibit and I suppose they
think people believe they have such
things in Kansas. I will tell you that fcr
a prohibition State Kansas has less water
than the rotunda of hades. Why, that
alligator never saw Kansas. Tl tell
you, stranger, that this exhibit would be
more representative of the animal life of
the State if they mounted a few of those
red-legged grasshoppers, a hat full of
Kansas locusts and some of those flat-
backed, square-shouldered green bugs
that bite a fellow’s neck at night. These
things, barring high five and cut-throat
seven-up, ure the game of Kansas. A
polar bear in Kansa~? Why, man, the
stomach ot that State would turn at the
sight of a black frost.”
Buttermilk’s Many Virtues,
Concerning the medical value of
buttermilk, the Medical Adviser says
that it is of so much worth that it has
gained a distinct place in matera medica,
and is lergely prescribed by the best
physicians for chest and lung ailments
and in most forms of kidney troubles.
An exclusive buttermilk diet has seemed
to bring about a cure in many cases
of Bright's disease. A constant and
proper use of it will greatly reduce, and
sometimes cure, the cravings for
alcoholic liquors with which many
persons are afflicted. The cravings may
be satisfied and the system benefited.
Buttermilk alone will often remedy
acidity of the stomach. The lactic acid
needed in many cases is supplied by it
much More than by any other drink or
food. Itis said to alleviate the depres-
sion about the heart thatso many old
people suffer from, and it should be
constantly drunk by them. Tt is also
to a certain extent a stimulant for the
entire system, just what the aged
needed.
The Editor Lacked Enterprise.
«Want a scoop ?’’ inquired the blear-
eyed man who had zigzagged into the
city editor’s room.
(“What kind ?’’ said’ the city editor.
“Suicide.”
“Whose ?"’
“Nev’ mind. Reg’ler sensational!
suicide. All th’ facts. Clean scoop.
Nobody knows blame thing ’bout i% yet.
Want it ?”
“I think not.”
«All right,” rejoined the visitor, zig-
zagging toward the door. “I’m goin’
to kill myself in ’gzackly two hours.
For four beers, pay’ble in advance, I
would ’a give your paper the p’ticulars
and told you where th’ reporter ’d find
me after the job was done. I'll go and
give it to some other paper and you can
go to thunder.”
And be went swiftly, graumblingly
and protanely down the winding stair-
way four steps at a jump.-- Chicago Trib-
une. :
A Generous Suggestion.
“Where is old Dawson this morning?’
asked the railway president, noticing
the absence of the veteran book-keeper.
“Home, sick,” said the vice president.
“Poor old fellow | I don’t believe he’ll
ever get over this attack.”
“That's too bad,” sighed the president.
“Ie has been a very valuable man to
us, Dawson has. He’s been with us
t venty years, and I don’t believe he's
missed a day.”’
“That’s so,” said the vice president.
«He has literally worn himself out in
our service. If he dies, I think the road
ought to do something for his widow.’
“Sodo I,”said the vice president,
“unless, perhaps—er—"’
“Well 2 Go on. What?”
“We might give her a pass over our
road to the World's Fair.”
When You Sign Your Name.
A signature should always be legibly
written—a fact that is frequently ignor-
ed by persons who write the body of the
letter quite plainly. From long habit
the name is hastily slurred over in a
way to puzzle even decipherers of blind
handwritting. = The signature of one’s
name has the force of vouching for or
verifying what precedes it and for this
reason, if no other, it should be an act
of importance and care. Nothing is
regarded with more contempt than an
anonymous letter,’ showing, as it does,
that somebody is ashamed or afraid to
be known as its author, and though
probably never intended that way, an
illegibly rigned epistle has much the
same effect.

Has Its Good Points.
In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When-
ever a robbery is committed the ruler of
the bamlet summons the entire male
population and requests them to write
on a slip of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime. The one receiving the lar-
gest number of ballots is declared duly
‘telected,” and is accordingly hung.
This system, like all others, has its pe-
culiar advantages. It insures the pun-
ishment of somebody for every crime
committed, whereas under the system in
vogue in most civilized countries in nine
cases out of ten no punishment is inflic-
ted on anybody for the crime. Of course
they may not *‘elect’’ the guilty person,
but dispose of some other character
‘equally bad. There is much in the sys-
tem to commend it to other nations.

Hard Times Past,
The country probably never before experi-
enced such a hard panic with so little general
effect on business, and the country has never
been in as good condition as it is to day. The
demand for articles of known puriety and
quality has been steadily increasing instead of
decreasing. So it is with the rye whiskies

A 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 theum 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, but 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, but it did not help me in
the least. A friend of mine prevailed on me
to try 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 flesh, and I think I am
now completely cured. My skin 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
blaod diseases, for [ am positive they will cure
them.

be made in the large room, ion Bi 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 aud dust, the enemies of long wear in
lestner, Our factory now occupies a room

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. Broste
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 (2)
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
