"Bellefonte, Pa., July 20, 1894. Farm Notes. —Never sell a good cow unless at a price far above her worth. Sell the poorest aud keep the best. —Great as is the cattle industry the value of poultry and eggs produced in the United States annually is but little less. —Purslaine (parsley) is hard to kill, and has millions of seeds. It grows very rapidly, and can only be eradica- ted by constant warfare on it. —Wood ashes are not as useful or as valuable as the salts of potash, but if plentiful they will be found very valuable, as they contain both potash and lime. —The sheep is the best paying ani- mal on the farm, and this has been demonstrated even by leaving out the value of the wool. Mutton breeds have never failed to give satisfaction. —Water costs nothing, yet there is more water sold off the farm than anything else. By inducing larg- er growth, with the use of fertilizers, the plants contain more water and draw less upon the soil proportionately. —Farmers lose more by the use of inferior tools than may be supposed. An hour's delay each day amounts to long length of time during a month. Scrub stock does not inflict greater damage than the use of scrub imple- ments. —A hog pasture without shade is al- most as bad ae a barn without a roof. It is wot in the interest of the farmer to compel the hogs to endure the heat of the sun. They prefer the shade at times and thrive better when they can get it. —The better condition in which the tarm tools are kept, the less effort is required on the part of teams, and on the part of the workmen also; yet farmers will use their implements a whole year without sharpening them. No other mechanic would. —Pasture land will soon cease to be a fixture on the farm. A pasture means that fences must be maintained, the cost of which is in some sections greater than the gain by the use of the pasture. High farming is leading to the system of bringing the food to the cows instead of driving the cows to the food. —Crops differ in their preferences for plant food, just as may be noticed with animals. A crop of corn does not take from the soil the same sub- stances as does a crop of clover, be- cause it does not feed upon the same kind of food. When these facts are better understood there will be greater yields from the soil and at less expense. —Hay should be a paying crop on rich land. With a yield ot two tons per acre it is one of the most profita- ble crops that can be grown, and leaves a large proportion of roots in the soil to enrich it. If hay is selling at $20 per ton the value of the sod on the land, for turning under, may safely be estimated at $8 more. —1It is remarkable that, while in the South the cow pea is used for green erops, to be plowed under, yet in the North it has been neglected, though repeated experiments have demonstra- ted that the cow pea will thrive wher- ever corn will grow, and especially when required for green manure only, as the seed does not have to mature. —A piece of land that is apparently unprofitable may need but a small pro- portion of some special fertilizer to enable it to produce abundantly. It may contain potash and phosphoric acid and yet fail to give good results, because nitrogen is lacking. It is only necessary to resort to the special plant food that 18 required to make land yield as it should. —The use of broad tires on roads is a subject that should receive attention, Instead of cutting up the road a broad tire serves as a roller, and packs and smooths the road. It is not necessary to have heavy wheels because they are broad. In this age of steel broad wheels may combine strength, light ness and efficiency, and their use would save the roads and also permit of drawing heavier loads. —Whether green manurial crops add fertility or not to the soil the fact remains that by green manuring and the the use of lime there is an in- crease of humus. Mulch or shade of any kind promotes the formation of humus, and thus the land is made ca- pable of retaining more moisture and of hastening chemical processes. All lauds have been improved wherever green manuring has been resorted to. —It requires quite an amount of boiling water, scrubbing and hard work to remove every trace of ‘‘fer- ment’ from a milk can after it bas been used. Those who content them- selves with simply shaking a little soapy water in the cans and rinsing them with clean water need not be sur- prised if the milk quickly sours, as the least trace of any portion of the pre- vious milk will hasten a change in the new. Boiling water and carbonate of soda should be used freely. » —Manure is more subject to loss in very dry weather than at any other time unless a large amount of absorb: ent material is provided and the heap turned over occasionally, as it may be- come overheated and ‘“fire-tang.” When this occurs the ammonia is giv- en off as a gas. As it is the most val- uable portion of the inanure its loss shou!d be guarded against. Drench- ing the heap with cold water, first making openings to allow the water to reach the centre of the heap, is an ex- cellent method of preventing loss. New Mexico Thunder Storms. People at a Distance Learn of Their Doings by Way af the Rivers. «To Las Vegos, the Meadow City of New Mexico,” writes an overland tour- ist, ‘an excellent pipe system brings pure water down from the upper Gal- linas River, which you way drink cooled with ice frozen upon the same crystal stream. The reservoir, six, or seven miles above the town, is a large mountain shaded lake formed by dam- ming the river. Over and above the work of the water company, the river, during the present summer, has been the subject of a vast deal of individual damning owing to its liability to get both ‘way up’ and ‘riled’ for no cause obvious to a stranger. “My first experience of the Gallinas’ turning loose was on an afternoon in June. The town was bright with sun- shine, with a clear sky overhead, as I sat on the hotel veranda enjoying the beautiful spectacle of constant lightning flashes in a dense cloud that veiled the mountains to the northwest. “Stepping indoors for a glass of water I discovered that where a clear stream was wont to flow, a thick, muddy liquid was all that could be drawn from the faucets. A few minutes later, crossing the bridge over the river that divides the new from the old town, I perceived taat the clear, shallowe stream that I had seen rippling over its pebbles an hour before had become a roaring, tur- bid torrent, which was rapidly rising, and already threatened the bridge. It came within a foot or two of the strang- pieces, so that floating logs could barely pass underneath before high-water mark was reached. “Las Vegans know precisely what to do in such an emergency, and, with fil- ters and settling tubs, had, before night, a sufficiency of water only slightly clouded for domestic use. The river fell as rapidly as it had risen, and the walters next morning were only a trifle higher than usual. The pipes before the end of the next day were flowing and people seemed to give the matter of the flood but little thought and less com- ment. “The cause of the river's going on such a bender was the thunder storm which I bad watched in the distance the day before, and which had fallen about the headwaters in the mountains, where it probably bad attained the dignity of a cloud-burst. It was learned later in town that the rain had washed things out considerably among the hills. Roads were so gullied as to be impassa- ble, and in some places had dropped sheer into ravins which they skirted so that new trails had to be made. In places much dead timber had been washed down mountain side to be lodged in valley thickets or carried down stream in the river's flood. “But the unusual raininess of the sea- son, even with the drawbacks of occa- sioned high water and smashing hail, has been a god send to New Mexico, and has brought the country out in its best and most beautiful aspects. The some- times arid mesas (table-land elevation) and prairies near the foothills are green with luxuriant grass, and lakes and wa- ter holes are filled "to overflowing. Stock find a good range about anywhere they choose to go, and the flocks and herds grazing, widely scattered, on vast emerald plains, present a charming pas- toral picture to the traveller as he is borne through the Territory along the path of the iron rails.” Florida Water. To make Florida water take two drams each of oils of lavender berga- mot and lemon, one dram each of tum- eric and oil of neroli, thirty drops of oil of palm and ten drops of oil of ruse. Mix these ingredients well with two pints of deodorized alcohol. It will be ready for use in two or three days after mixing. ——For the first time in twenty or more years the pear trees in this region have been smitten with the fire blight. It is a milder attack than is common, but its suddenly fatal effect on small branches here and there in the tops of trees causesalarm. No cause has yet been determined nor is any cure or remedy known. It is called fire blight because the leaves of the affected twigs look as if scorched or scalded. Quince trees are much affected by it and apple trees.occasionally. For two years past bushes and hedges of privet have suffer- ed greatly from a similar infliction. Where the dead twigs are within reach it is considered best to cut them off as far down as any discoloration is found under the bark, both for the sake of re- moving an eyesore, and because another stroke of the kind next year is less like- ly or is likely to be less severe. Atter a year or two of prevalence it usually dis- appears for a couple of decades or long- er.— Tyrone Herald. —— Utah will be a state of the Amer- ican union. the bill for its admission now being in the hands of the president, who will without a doubt sign it. The objections that were formerly sufficient to keep it out have now been removed. It will very properly, therefore, be- come the forty-fifth state, with poly- gamy abolished and an industrious and growing population within its borders. Utah, indeed, will be one of the most promising of all the far western com- monwealths, It has long been trying to get into the union and this year will close the struggle of more than a gener- ation, No Use in His Business.

A Cotton Storm in Colorado—A Bug Empor- wm. A cotton storm, looking exactly like a snow storm, is a common sight in the cottonwood groves of Colorado. The white, fluffy material grows in long bunches, loosely attached to stems, and the fibre is very short. At the lightest breeze that stirs the branches tiny bits of it take to flight, and one tree will shed cotton for weeks. It clings to one's garments, it gets into the house and sticks to the carpets, often showing a trial of white footprints where a per- son has comein ; it clogs the wire-gauze screens till they keep out the air as well as the flies ; it fills the noses aad the eyes of men and beasts. But its most curious effect is on the plants and flowers, to which it adheres, being a little gummy. Some flowers look as if they were encased in ice, and others seem wrapped in the gauziest of veils, which flimsy as it looks, cannot be completely cleared from the leaves. It covers the ground like snow, and strangely enough it looks in June, but it does not, like snow, melt, even under the warm summer sunshine. It must be swept from the garden and walks! and carted away. A heavy rain clears the air and subdues it for a time, but the sun soon dries the bunches till on the trees, and the cotton storm in again in full blast. This annoyance lasts through June and a part of July, fully six weeks, and then the stems themselves drop to the ground, still holding enough cotton to keep up the storm for days. After this the first raintall ends the trouble for that sea- son. Buying a Horse. An amusing horse story comes from one of our sporting neighbors. A gen- tleman who concluded to ‘weed out” his stables and get in some fresh blood sent a horse to one of the recent sales and received as the result $150. A day or two afterward, wishing to re- place the animal, he visited a well known horse exchange, and after care- fully examining the stock finally se- lected a good looking animal which, he was told, had recently arrived in a car from the west. The price asked was $300. This, although more than the purchaser cared to give, was finally acceded to, as the animal was a fine, showy beast and seemed to answer all his requirements. So quite satisfied with his acquigition, Mr. Z. paid the price and ordered his new purchase to be sent to his stables. “Why, sir, I thought you bad sold Tommy,” said his head coachman that evening when he returned home and found the man waiting for him. “Well, James, and eo I did,” an- swered his master. “What of it?” “A man brought him back, sir, this afternoon,” returned the servant, sup- pressing a grin, ‘and said that you had bought him this afternoon and that he was to deliver him.” Mr. Z. fairly jumped. “Great Scott!" be exclaimed as the light slowly dawn- ed upon him, “You don’t mean to say that I have actually bought back my own horse and paid $150 more than I got for him I" So it proved. Death in a Bee's Sting. The sting of a honey bee resulted in the death of Jonas D. Godshalk, of Lansdale Pa. The bee stung Mr. God- shalk on the chin last week. The wound became very painful at once and several physicians were called to treat the case. All efforts were unavailing, however, and death resulted. The physicians say it is an extremely rare case for death to result from the sting of a bee. ——The biggest mosquito story of the season comes from a Maine man, who says that when he approached his summer cottage the other day he noticed, or thought he noticed, that somebody had taken the liberty of painting his door over ; but before he had found words suitable for the occa: sion his wrath turned to dismay on discovering that the change of color was due to the mosquitoes, who were waiting for him to come and let them in. ——W. H.
