Farm Notes.
—Sheep need good care. It is sel-
dom that a sick sheep fully recovers
its health, and prevention of disease in
sheep is far better than attempted
cures.
—Grape vines may be cut this fall
after frost appears, and it 18 better to
do so thanto delay the work until
spring, as the cutting is then some-
times deferred until the sap begins to
rise.
—There is usually too much method
in feeding animals, the food and water
being given to all alike. To feed with
the least cost the individual charac-
teristics of each animal should be un-
derstood.
— When you are hueking corn this
fall, and design the stalks for the cows,
don’t be afraid to leave all of the nub-
bin ears unhusked. The cows will eat
them with the fodder, and will be
greatly helped cn milk yield thereby.
—Forcing young peach trees is some-
times the cause of their failure at the
age of 3 or 4 years. Young pear trees
should never be forced too rapidly, as
the overgrown trees are more often at
tacked by blight than those which are
not pushed rapidly when young.
—One of the principal advantages of
dairying on the average farm is that it
offers a good opportunity of convert.
ing all kinds of grain and fodder into
a good marketable product and at the
same time secures a large amount of
valuable manure that will add to the
fertility of the soil.
—The raising of poultry on a large
area is possible provided the same labor
is bestowed on the fowls as is given
larger stock. The hens are self-sus-
taining to a certain extent, when there
is an abundance of insects and green
food, but in the winter season they de-
mand warm quarters as well as care
and attention.
—An economical mode of feeding
oats is to cut the grain and straw to-
gether with a cutter. It is not necessa-
ry to thresh oats unless the grain is de-
sired particularly. The straw can be
made more serviceable by feeding
it with the grain, and especially if the
oats crop was out when the grain was
in the milky stage.
—The question is sometimes raised
whether it is possible to always keep
wooden dairy utensils perfectly clean,
It is not good policy to fet milk stand
for any length of time in wooden pails
or receptacles, but wooden churns and
butter workers are all right, and can
be kept perfectly sweet and bacteria-
proof by the use of hot water.
—The business of manufacturing
starch from potatoes has been confined
to comparatively few localities, Where
it has been carried on it has proven a
profitable industry, and has increased
the value of farm hands devoted to
growing the crop. The combination
of agricultural production and manu-
facturing is usually satisfactory to all
concerned.
—It is easier to retain a male than
to purchase one, but the result will be
in breeding, which in turn is followed
by lack of vitality and an invitation to
disease. If the use of pure bred males,
procured from sources outside of the
farm accomplished no other purpose
than to prevent inbreeding, the hardi-
ness of the stock alone would be a
compensation for the outlay.
— Ventilation in the stables is es:
sential, but there is a line to be drawn
between ventilation and cold draughts
of air flowing in. It is useless to
make the stable weather tight, and
then cut holes to let in the cold under
them is taken supposition that the ani-
mals are suffering for fresh air. It is
difficult to keep the air out, even if it
is attempted, especiaally during cold
weather,
This is the time of the year to look
after the fences. Are you getting a
little short of good material for rails ?
Ther it should be a suggestion to you
that it is time to be planting a little
timber. When the supply begins to
get so short that there.is not an abun-
dance of wood for all the needs of the
farm, the market value of the farm
the market value of the farm suffers at
once.
—Phosphates are cheaper now than
.a few years ago, and they may be safe-
ly and profitably used on nearly all
soils, and especially on farms where
beef and milk are shipped to market.
It will benefit all farms to receive an
application of airslaked lime at this
season also, while wood ashes will al-
ways be found beneficial. Such feri-
lizers may be termed “staple,” as they
are of value to all crops.
—The growing of potatoes should be
profitable. A yield of 150 bushels of
tubers per acre may cause a loss for
the reason that as much work in plow-
ing, planting, cultivating and harvest.
ing such a yield is as necessary as
would be required for twice as many
bushels. An experimental plot has
yielded in proportion of over 1000
bushels per acre which demonstrates
that an acre of land can be made to
give larger yield with the same cultiva-
tion if more plant food is applied.
—It does not pay to buy fertilizers
and secure only a crop of 15 bushels of
wheat per acre. The land may not
need the kind of fertilizers that has
been applied, and better results may be
obtained by using only a special ferti-
lizer to balance the plant food already
existing in the soil. One hundred
pounds of bone dust may give better re-
sults than half a ton of mixed fertilizer
in proportion to cost. The farmer
should experiment and learn how to
use fertilizers, as well as when to ap!
ply them.
The Lowest Rate of the Year to Chi-
cago via Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's Coach Excursons.
a
At a recent meeting the rate to Chica-
go via the Pennsylvania Railroad was
definitely decided upon. and will hold
good during the remaining excursions
of the people’s popular coach series :
$18.00 trom New Yecerk, $17.00 from
Philadelphia, Baltimere, and Washing-
ton, and proportionately low rates from
other points on the company’s division
and branches. These rates are the lowest
that have yet been authorized, and their
ultimate legality has been brought
about mainly through the efforts of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The remaining dates on which this re-
markable rate will apply are October
17th, and 21st, from New York and
Philadelphia, and 14th, and 21st. from
Baltimore and Washington, when trains
will leave the several Eastern terminals
fully and comfortably equipped with
Pennsylvania standard coaches, and all
taking advantage of these exceptional
opportunities are assured of being amply
cared for in transit. The arriving time
in Chicago, early the next afternoon, is
on equality with the fast express trains’
schedule, and affords sufficent time for a
selection of accommodations for the stay
in Chicago.
The immense volume of travel now
directing itself towards the World's
Fair, and the rapidly approaching
termination of the Exposition influence
the company to place every inducement
possible before the public. There could
be no better way devised to encourage
visits to the most marvelously gorgeous
exhibition the people of this generation
has ever seen.
America’s Earliest Coins.
Copper Pieces Minted in the Bermudas wn 1612.
The very earliest coinage that can
properly be said to be “strictly Ameri-
can’ was ordered by the original Vir-
ginia Company in the year 1612, only
five years after the founding of James-
town. These coins were minted at
Somers Islands, now known as the
Bermudas. For a period of more than
a quarter of a century after this, how-
ever, tobacco and beaver skins were
reckoned as lawful currency. In 1645
the Assembly of Virginia met and de-
clared that it “had maturely weighed
and considered how advantageous a
quoine (coin) would be to this colony,
and how much better it would be than
a sole dependency upon tobacco and
pelts.” After this they provided for
the coinage of copper coins of the de
nominations of 2 pence, 3 pence, 6
pence, and 9 pence ; but this resolu-
tion was never carried into effect.
The first coinage in America proper
was the series of coins ‘‘struck” at
Boston under the order of the
General Court of Massachusetts, passed
May 27, 1652, the coins being 3, 6, and
12 pence denominations, *“ in form flat
and stamped on one side with the let
ters ‘N. E.,’ and on the other the value
of the piece.”
The Mechanics Lien Law Uuconstitu-
tional.
The mechanics’ lien law passed by
the recent legislature, like several other
laws that found their way on the statute
books last winter,has been declared un-
constitutional by Judge Hemphill, of
Chester county, who gives his reasons
therefor ina clear and comprehensive
manner. The law sought to hold a
property owner responsible to sub—con-
tractors when contractors fail to carry
out their agreement with the sub—con-
tractor, and gave to the sub-contractor
the right to file liens for property fur-
nished by him through his contract.
Judge Hemphill declares that this is
usurpation. A property owner, under
this law, would be obliged to ascertain
how many sub-contractors there are en-
gaged on his building, who they are and
where they live and contract with each
in writing. Even if he should do this
he is still at the mercy of the contrac-
tor, who may employ sub-contractors ad
libitum without his knowledge. Ac-
cording to the decision of Judge Hemp-
hill, the sub-contractor must look to the
contractor for his renumeration for all
work done.—Ez.
A Love Song IN M Frat: —
“My modest, matchless Madeline !
ark my melodious moans ¢
Much may my melting music mean—
My modulated monotones.”
This young man stayed out too late,
serenading his lady love. He caught a
cold, which developed into catarrh, but
he cured it with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy, » sovereign specific for chronic
cases, ‘Cold in the Head,” Catarrhal
Headache. It corrects the tainted breath
stops the offensive discharges, heals the
irritated throat and nose, leaving the
head clear, and smell and taste unim-
paired. It costs but 50 cents, and the
proprietors offer in good faith $500 for a
case they cannot cure.
The larger cities of the country
are gradually adopting the plan of get-
ting rid of their garbage by cremation,
a plan which will generally come into
general use. It will have to be adop-
ted everywhere, because the present
method of polluting streams or destroy-
ing valuable property on the outskirts
of cities will not be tolerated much
longer.
——A few weeks'ago the Penosylva-
nia railroad company had 16,000 idle
freight cars standing along its various
sidings. Reports received on Tuesday
chowed thatthe number had been re-
duced to 6,000, thus illustrating the
improvement that is gradually being
made in general business.
Catarrh in the head is a constitu-
tional disease, and requires a constitu.
tional remedy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
to effect a cure.

needs a very strong constitution to withstand
the sudden shocks of cold and moisture. Un-

I have suffered with Eczema (Salt Rheum),
for about four years, all over my face, princi-
pally on my forehead, it being so bad that it
made me half crazy attimes. I tried about
half a dozen doctors, among whom was a
specialist on skin diseases, but he, like all
the others, only gave me temporary relief. I
then concluded to try your Cuticura Remedies
after being advised todo so by a great num-
ber of my friends. After using one set I could
see a great change for the better, and after
usiag three sets I found myself completely
cured. I feel myself cured as I have not seen
a particle of its return. GOE. A. LOWE,

I had been suffering with Erysipelas for
several years. It would appear during August
aud September of the Summer season. Ny

can safely say I am cured.

exclusive salesroom ever used in this town, as

with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely displayed and still kept away from

16x74 teet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
