Bellefonte, Pz., Dec. I, 1893.
Farm Notes.
—The November report of the stat-
istician of the Department of Agricul”
ture presents facts that are probably
surprising to ihose who are not fami-
liar with the average yield of crops.
Iowa leads on corn, averaging 35.4
bushels per acre, with Massachusetts
second closely followed by the other
New England States. The great corn
States of the West, though devoting a
larger area to corn, do not eqal New
England, New York, or Pennsylvania |
in the average yield per acre. Idaho
produces the most potatoes per acre,
being 153 bushels, with Montana,
Wyoming, Nevada, Oregon and Wash-
ington following in the order named.
In the East New England leads in the
average of potatoes grown Colorado's
average of sweet potatoes per acre is
125 bushels, with Florida second at
116 bushels, Virginia and North Car-
olina, following. The average yield
per acre of potatoes for the whole
country is only 72.2 bushels,
TOBACCO, COTTON AND HAY.
—It may not be known that Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Penusyl-
vapia produce the most tobacco per
acre. In fact, fassachusetts averages
about three times as much as Ken- |
tucky or Virginia, which have the re
putation of being specially adapted to
the culture of tobacco. Florida which
has been long considered as unfavor-
able to cattle and grass, comes second
in average yield per acre of hay, Nev-
ada being first, and Florida is the only
State on the Atlantic side of the
Mississippi which exceeded the general
average. The returns by States range
from half a ton per acre in Delaware to
2.66 tons in Nevada, Flordai averaging
exactly two tons. North Carolina and
Arkansas made a tie for second place
in average yield of cotton, Louisiana
being first, with 176 pounds per acre.
Strange to say, Virginia produced more
cotton per acre than South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Texas, or
Mississippi, which appears incredible
considering the difference in her
climate compared with her com-
petitors.
SOILS AND CROPS.
The crops reported have been grown
on all kinds of soils. On the seacoast
the soils are light, but the average
crops of the several States do not ap-
pear to be affected by the quality of
the soil entirely, as may be shown by
the fact that Florida's average of corn,
per acre, is only 9.7 bushels, although
she was second on hay and also on
sweet potatoes, but was the lowest of
the cotton-producing States. Buek-
wheat does not appear to be grown in
the extreme Northwest, or in the South-
ern States, south of North Carolina,
yet it is a quick-growing crop, delights
in a warm season and is adapted to the
lightest soils. Crops that appear to be
adapted to certain States only are pro-
duced more abundantly per acre in
States that are far away, and the in-
fluence of climate and soil remains
somewhat of a problem upon which
work for a solution may be performed.
— Artichokes are grown principally
for hoge. They yield largely but are
difficult to harvest as a crop the usual
method being to turn the hogs on the
plot and allow them to keep themselves.
From 300 to 600 bushels can be grown
on an acre and they will grow on
any kind of land that produces pota-
toes. Once established they seed them-
selves every year from the tubers
left over, and are difficult to eradi-
cate.
—The alacrity with which some
farmers will attempt to save a small
sum in purchasing seeds is surprising,
considering the risk incurred by so do-
ing. Good seed is more important
than all other matters connected with
growing a crop, as the failure of seed
to germinate may prevent growing the
intended crop for want of time to make
a second attempt with better seed.
—While wheat and other grains
bave fallen in prices, there is no com-
p'aint that eggs are not fully up to ex-
pectations in prices. Eugs are always
“cash on sight,” and those who make
a specialty of supplying customers
with strictly fresh egys are affected but
little by business depressions or sudden
changes in value.
—Bees do not make honey—they
simply gather it. Feedirg syrup to
them will provide them with food, but
the syrup will not be made into honey,
as the bees have no power to make the
change, honey being only obtained
from the blossoms.
—Fariners who are now using hay
will find that some will be more high-
ly relished by stock than other por-
tions. This difference in quality is
due to the stage ot growth at which it
was cut, and also in the manner in
which it was cured.
—Board floor for sheep are the best,
provided they are swept off daily. If
earth is used as a floor, cut straw or
leaves should be made to do service in
providing bedding and protection
against draughts when the sheep are at
rest,
—Sloppy food is not advisable as a
continued diet for pigs. Give a change
occasionally. The hogs are very par-
tial to, whole corn, fed dry. and will
eat it from the trough, either shelled
or on the cob.
—The winter is the time to build the
intended silo, as it can be done with
less interference in other work. Have
the silo ready and ccmplete for a crop
of corn nextseason. A silo soon pays
for itself,
—forestry is made a study in the
agricultural schools and colleges of
Europe, but in this country it is over-
looked, yet it is one of the most im port-
ant subjects connected with agricul-
ture,

that stimulates the system and fortifies it
against such attacks, avd that is whiskey.
Notsuch a whiskey as is generally palmed off
on the publie,buta whiskey of known purity and

RY AS PIECE MEAT.
| SIX MONTHS UNDER THREE DOCTORS:
NO BENEFIT. COMPLETELY CURED
IN 3 MONTHS BY CUTICURA.
Cuticura has been a blessing to me. My ba“
by was about four weeks old, when she first
got Kezema. It was on her head and all over
her body, which was raw as a piece of meat. I
doctored for six months with three doctors
here, and she «till kept getting worse. A lady
friend of mine advised me to get Cuticura Rem:
edies. They proved to be just as good as you
recommended. Baby was six months old
when I began to use Cuticura Remedies, and in
three months’ time she was cured. She is fif-
teen months old now, and is well and hearty.
I am very thankiul.
MRS RICHARD CROMPTON,
West Middlesex, Mercer Co., Pa,
There is more remedial power to one of your
cakes ot Cuticura Soap than there is to some of
the three-dollar treatments of these dermatol-
ogists for the acne, fleshworms, ete. It has.
cured me of the above effection, and I think it
can cure others if they use it right and accord-
iag to directions.

“Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in-
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending

Castoria has won us to look with favor upon it,

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 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. 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
leeiner. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the iargest 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
fou will buy. Our profits are not Jaigs, but

Bellefonte. We are noi 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. Brotits
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 bi

we compared ourselves to them, but we do not
mean to be so odious, except to venture the as-
