— dasa Solis Dewmocralic Bellefonte, Pa., Dec. 8, 1893. THE FARMER’S RESOLVE. I seen an advertisement in a city magazine, Of some new patent medicine, they called it Tiredine, An’ said a quart—ten doses—was the surest kind o’ cure For thew whose inclinations for to work was rather poor. It seems to me that that’s the stuff for me to go an’ buy For that young son o’ mine to take an’ sort o’ make him spry. : He needs a thurrer bracin’ up when heytime comes around. Although when fish is runnin’ good he’s pretty slick an’ round, 1 dun’no’ why it is that boy kin take a heavy un An’ To from ten to twenty miles, an’ think he’s havin’ fun: But when ther«’s suthin’ for to do that’sin the plowin’ line. He doesn’t even seem to have the symptom of a spine. He'll take in all the picnics, an’ he'll work like all possessed At pusning scups for country gals, but never has no chest When’t come to tossin’ up the hay or gatherin’ in the wheat— The very idea of that seems to knock him off his feet. An’ so I think I'll go to town and sample that there stuff, An’ mebbe buy a lot for Tom—one bottle ain't enough. Ten dce-es may suffice to put an average man in trim, But Tom—1 think I'll hafter get a dozen quarts for him. —When the leaves are allowed to go to waste there is but httle actual loss ot valuable manure that might have been saved by using the leaves as an absorbent. : —With all the tests that have been made at the experiment stations with strawberries the ‘‘best” variety has not yet been discovered, as varieties condemned at one place are highly praised at another. —1It is foolish to attempt to improve cattle by selections on the farm, The shortest road in that direction is to be- gin with the thoroughbred males. In a few years the characteristics of the entire herd will be changed. —Keeping food before stock causes the animals to refuse it at some time. All kinds of stock prefer variety, and will thrive better when fed at regular periods. It is an indication of laziness when the troughs are kept full, and it is also a waste of food. —The best method of keeping hens in good laying condition is to afford them a scratching place. The grain should be scattered in leaves, cut straw, or even dirt, So as to compe: them to work. Idienessis a vice that leads to egg-eating and feather pulling. preventing that condition which pro- mote~ egg production. —Do not loss sight of the fact that all animals on the farm are kept tor profit, It should not be satisfactory to keep an animal through the winter at a standstill, looking to the spring and summer for the increase. The winter is the season when the greatest gain should be made, as the labor can then be more conveniently bestowed to the care and feeding ot stock. . . —A farm can be made very fertile without an ounce of manure by tue use of commercial fertilizers, and al though the fertilizers may apparently be more expensive, yet the increased yield of the crops will bean advantage gained. Fertilizers are more ceriain in results, as tuey supply plants wiih foud that is availiable from the start until the maturity of the crop. —High prices tor choice animals are indicative of excellence. A horse has sold for over $100,000, a cow for $30 000 a raw tor $6000, a barnyard fowl for $100, and a dog for $4000. QOuly a tew individuals excel so higulv, bowever, but when such prices cau be obtained for a single specimen the val ue of all other animals of the breeds to which they belong increases propor- tionately. —Marl was at one time in great favor, and gives excellent results on grass land. It cousists largely of lime, and is excellent for composting win manure. Its bulk is the greatest obistacle to its use, as the cost ot rai road transportation and hauling renders it more expensive than should be the case. Where it can be procured cheaply, however, it will be found of much value in proportion to the cost of gome other fertilizers. —Going out with a saw hatchet, and hacking off the limbs of apple trees promiscuously, is not the correct way to trim a tree. Many trees need not be deprived of a single limb, re- quiring shortening of the branches only, so as to give symmetry by re- moving some of the wood that hangs over the tree. No one should attempt to trim a tree unless it is understood how to do it properly. —Thereis plenty of work on the farms even when enforced idleness ex- ists in the cities. Why is the farmer at a loss to procure help while hun: dreds are seeking employment ? It is perhaps because farm work never ends. There are no regular houre. The farm hand riges early and works late. In his favor, however, is the fact that he has but few expenses, board and lodging being provided his wages being nearly clear. His work is often every day in the week, and his opportunities for advancement or education limited, through there are exceptions in many cases. : —The gypsy moth is slowly making headway, despite, the efforts of the State of Massachusetts to exterminate it. and appeal has been made to the National Government for aid. 1t may be stated that in comparison with this enemy all other afflictions of the farmer are insignificant, and if it gets beyond control ot its present location it will entail millions of dollars loss, as well as bring ruin to thousands, It is slowly moving in this direction, and it preventive measures are to be taken there 18 no time to lose. —A stack of straw may be of bu: litile value, owing to its bulk, which makes the travsportation of .sueh material to market too costly, bu when it is cut up fine, and fed with grain. [tv wil] be more than doubled in value. It may not equal other foods, but it is worth something, and should be utilized to the best advan tage. It applied to bedding purposes it will be of greater value when out, as the refuse can then be more con- veniently used as an absorvent in the manure heap. -——The joints and muscles are so lubricated by Hood’s Sarsaparilla that all rheumatism and stiffness soon disap- pear Try it.

The damp, ccld air penetrates every- where and chills the blood, laying the system open to the danger of colds, pneum nia and kindred complaints. There isbnt one remedy that stimulates the system and fortifies it against such attacks, and that is whiskey. Notsuch a whi-key as is generally palmed off on the public,buta whiskey of known purity and quality. Such a whiskey is Klein's Silver Age Duquesne or Bear Creek Ryes. ‘lhese whis- kies have been before the public for many years and find favor wherever purity is re- quired. Physicians prescribe them ; hospitals use them, and every reputable dealer sells them. These goods are for sale by S. Shloss, agent, Williamsport, Pa, at regular prices. 38-43 New Advertisements, Br AS PIECE MEAT. SIX MONTHS UNDER THREE DOCTORS, NO BENEFIT. COMPLEI'ELY 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 iezema. It was on her head and all over her body, which was raw as a piece of meat. 1 doctored for six months with three doctors here, and she +till kept getting worse, A lady friend of mine advised me to get Cuticura Kem edies. They proved to be just as good as you recommended. Baby was six months old when | began to use Cuticura Remenies, and in three 1.onths’ time she was cu ed. She is fif- teen months old now, and is well and hearty. I am very thankiul, MRS RICHARD CROMPTON, West Middlesex, Mercer Co., Pa.
