from the growth and use.
Denroreaticy Patna,
Bellefonte, Pa., March, 30 1884.
Farm Notes.
—PFruit growers have learned that
where pear trees have not been man-
ured or cultivated they have escaped
the blight through making but slow
growth,
—Corn threshing is practiced in the
West. The whole stock is passed
through a thresher and comes out like
straw, being stored in the barn and fed
in the same condition as hay.
— New beds of strawberries may be
made now. and the plauts will become
well established before the dry season
comes, thus making better growth and
throwing out more runuoers later on.
—This is the kind of weather (such
as prevailed during the month) for the
sows to come in with young pigs. The
pigs will grow off from the first day,
and gain rapidly by the time clover is
ready.
—A mong the vegetables that may be
added to the list of garden crops, but
“which are rarelv produced by tarmers,
may be mentioned egg plants, salsity,
okra and peppers. Variety in the gar-
den is oue balfof its advantage.
~—TIt is not necessary to warm the
drinking water, but it is very import.
ant that it be pure, at this season.
The water goes into the milk, and
when the cows drink from surface
water in the fields they pass it to the
consumers.
—Do not feed little chicks too heavi-
ly or the result will be bowel disease
and leg weakness. Three meals a day
are sufficient. but a small proportion
of millet seed should be scattered over
their runs in order to keep them busy
scratching. Exercise is as important
for them as food.
—The more you can induce the
lambs to eat the taster they will grow
and the sooner they will reach the
market. Ground oats make the best
grain food. Place it where they can
eat all they desire. Feed the ewes
liberally, also, in order to provide the
very young lambs with plenty of milk.
—Fruit buds have swollen under the
influence of the warm weather, and un-
less a “cold snap’ comes, the pros-
pects in some sections are in favor of
large crops. Should trees be well
fruited, the young fruit will be benefit-
ted by trimming out about one-half.
Good growers are never alraid to thin
the fruit on overloaded trees.
—Grain may be sold in the torm of
meat, butter and milk, and in these
froms there will be larger prices realized
The value
‘of grain as a food for stock does not
end with the product derived therefrom
r market, as it returue a a portion of
§ matter to the soil in the manure.
The ordinary concentrated lye will
form an emulsion with crude carbolic
acid. Dissolve one pound of concen-
trated lye in two gallons of boiling
water, and then add a pint of the crude
acid. Agitate brirkly for ten minutes,
When cold, add four gallons of cu'd
water, stirring well. Applied around
each trees it destroys the root lice.
ot also be sprayed on the trees.
but double the quantity ot cold water
should be added for that purpose.
— Begin with the vegetables, but do |
not attempt to put out the tender kinds
too soon. Some crops, such as peas
and onions, may be planted early, as
they can endure light frosts, but in
this climate the rule is not to plant the
majority of the crops until the apple
trees are in bloom, which usually oc-
curs in May. Frosts are liable to de-
stroy crops at any time during Avril,
asa few cold days may follow warm
weather,
— Eastern farmers have a great ad-
vantage over those of the West in be-
ing nearer the great markets, yet they
overlock the opportunity which they
possess. Inetead of growing crops
that open the field for more customers
they compete with the Westin the
growing of grain, and on land that is
too valuable to be used for such pur-
pose. Fruit, vegetables, milk, meat
and butter open more avenues to profit
than grain, but farmers are slow in
making changes from the usual routine
which has been practiced for years.
—The first symptoms of corn in
horses are lameness or a gingerly gait,
with a tendency to point when
at rest; the step is short,
stilty and stumbling. This,
bowever, is often mistaken for a dis-
eage of the navicular bone of the foot.
The difference in the two can be deter-
mined by the way the animal holds
his foot. In a case of navicular dis-
ease the foot is placed flat on the
ground, while with a corn the heel is
held raised and the foot pointing, The
corn can always be found by parting
out the heel. Treatment of a recent
ard uncomplicated corn coosists of re-
moving the flakes of horn over it until
the red spot is exposed, aud altering
the shoe go that while aflording protec.
tion there is no bearing in the vicinity
to cause the animal pain from pres.
sure. In a foot with low, weak heels a
bar shoe may be desirable, but bar
shoes and other contrivances which
help to reduce the bad results of corns
are in other ways seriously objectiona-
hle, and always liable to be a cause of
lameness, so that they should oot be
employed unless absolutely necessary.
Ina good foot—and the best of feet
may be affected—a broad-webbed shoe,
chambered at the heel, will generally
answer. In some cases leathers are
useful to prevent bruising from loose
stones. The horse with a corn should
have his shoes frequently removed,
that the iron heel may press upon its
seat as the shoe becomes displaced by
the growth of the foot, and because
