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.

added to my factory and will be used execlu-
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

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
leather. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.

the future than we have done in the past and
