Dewar fap Bellefonte, Pa., March 16, 1894. — Farm Notes. —There is as much need of improv- ing the quality of the butter as to in- crease the quantity. ~—The breeder of stock can do him- self good service by culling out the in- ferior animals. If he will do this every _ year he will improve his stock rap- idly. —No soil will produce a maximum yield unless it is drained. A dry soil is warm, while a damp soil is kept cold by coustant evaporation of moisture from the surface. —What we need to do is to intensify our farming, concentrate our work and fertillizer to fewer acres, and instead of raising ten or fifteen bushels of wheat per acre, raise thirty bushels, and other crops in proportion. —This is an excellent time to begin spraying the vines and trees to destroy fungus and spores. It is never too ear- ly to begin, and the work should be done frequently which will, lessen the labor after the buds appear. —It is not judicious to discard a brood sow that has been successful with her pigs for one that is younger. A good mother is an important quali- fication, as many sows destroy some of the pigs by crushing them, or from carelessuess in some manner. —Thereis a wide difference in the amount creamery patrons receive from a cow. You can easily see this by ex- amining the records of any creamery. Do you think this difference is wholly in the cows, or may not part of it be in the men and the methods ? —A smooth meadow makes easy mowing. It is a good plan to roll the land as early as possible in spring, us- ing a heavy roller and carrying a box upos it in which to put all surface stones. It pays better to pick these up than to leave them to break your mower koives on. —The application of a wash to peach trees composed of lime, soft soap, and carbolic acid, is claimed by a prominent peach grower to be a sure preventive of the attacks of the peach borer. The carbolic acid is the princi: pal substance that is beneficial, its odor repelling the insect. —The branch of agriculture which has the very least of a speculative na- ture about it to produce such things as can be consumed on the land marketed on the hoof. Even if a man has not much business talent, he cannot go very far wrong if he sticks to this course right through. —There are certain principles which are equally essential, whether one is growing stock or cultivating crops. Ove thing that must be done in either caseis to weed closely. Some men never think of weeding out the inferior calves or pigs, but go on breeding them and 0 perpetuate their bad qualities. —A small flock of sheep will pay better, proportionately. than large numbers, as they will secure much food that would be insufficient for a large flock. Weeds and undesirable plants may supply a small flock with all that is required in summer, but if the flock is large tood must be provid- ed. —It has been suggested that the country roads could be improved with iron rails, similar to those on street railways. It would vot make the trav- el easier for the horses but would les- | sen the draught. It is better, howev- er, to make the entire road good, and use rails 1f desired, to avoid cutting up the roads with wheels. —Scabby seed potatoes should not be planted, neither should smooth po- tatoes be planted on land, where ehabby potatoes grew the year before. Always select clean, smooth seed, which treat with one application of corrosive subli- mate by soaking them in a solution of one ounce of the sublimate mixed in fifteen gallons of water. It has proved beneficial. . —Fighting the weeds is hard work, but when the weeds are kept down from the start, beginning with the first plants that appear in the spring, they can all be destroyed before summer ap- pears. When weeds are very young they are easily killed, but if they be- come well rooted they are persistent. There is no work more profitable than that bestowed in destroying weeds as soou as they appear above ground. —Feeding the hog is being revolu- tionized. Formerly anything that could be fed to swine was allowed, without regard to the filth contained, sour swill filled with disease germs, being the principal diet. Intelligent farmers now feed clover, corn, wheat, vegeta- bles, ground grain, and whey or skim milk, given in clean troughs, with plenty of clean water available at all times. —High prices for “gilt edge’ butter are secured by seeking the customers and convincing them that the butter is superior to that which is offered in the markets. It may require several months of time to secure a large cus- tom at extra high prices, but once es- tablished the butter will always be in demand. The same may be said of eggs—the strictly fresh kinds being in demand at all times at prices above those obtained in the markets. —If a mileh cow is desired, her beef- producing qualities must not be consid ered. A cow that converts food into milk is not the one to produce beet. The breeds for beef are not regarded as but: ter or milk producers, though individ uals occasionally excel in that direc- tion. The dairymaid should select breeds that are reliable for conforming to the requirements of the dairy, leav- ing the value of the cows as beef pro ducers out of his estimates altogether. Swallowed a Coffee Bean. The 2-vear-pld child of Mr. Frank Adams, 76 Washington avenue Al- toona last Friday noon, swallowed a coffee bean, causing it intense suffer- ing. All possible was doue for it, but the child rapidly grew worse until Saturday moraing its life was despaired of. Dr. Buck was called and advised the opening of the wind-pipe, which operation, with the consent of the parents, was undertaken hy him, as- sisted by Dr. Walters. The bean was located at the division of the wind-pipe into the right and left lung. An in strament was passed in, the foreign body was removed and relief was im- mediate. The child is now doing well. ——The earliest fanning mill or win- nowing machine was invented in China and in use there for centuries, while Europeans were cleansing their grain by casting it into the air on a windy day. ——A set of iron fetters was exhum- ed in the churchyard of St. Andrews, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, recently. It is supposed that a male-factor had been buried with the fetters attached to his ankles. ——The highest broad gauge railroad in the United States i3 the Denver and Rio Grande, and-its highest point is at Marshall Pass, where 1t climbs to a height of 10,855 feet above the sea. ——President Harper, of the Univer- sity of Chicago, denies the vublished statement attributed 10 him tnat ‘‘the story of the murder of Abel by his brother Cain is a myth.” ——When the rag doll and the stuffed elephant got married they found each other out. stick, don’t tell every one so.
