Farm Notes.
—It is well enough to use clover in |
order to renovate the soil, but it must
be admitted that there are thousands
of acres of land upon which clover will
not grow at all, and something must
first be added to the soil to fit it for
clover. Of course manure will answer,
but enough of itis not always easily
procured. The best method is to begin
with the use of wood ashes, or fertil-
izers containing potash and phospboric
acid. Once the land 1s gotten in clover
the greatest portion of the difficulty of
renovation will be over.
—Not many people know that the
early fall is the best time to apply sta-
ble manure to fruit trees. It gets then
the full benefit of fall rains to wash its
soluble parts into the soil, It starts
the growth early in spring when thus
applied, while if applied in winter or
early spring, though it may have rain
enough to wash the manure into the
soil, it is apt in summer to make too
luxuriant a growth, which will not
ripen well for wiuter, and in the pear is
liable to be followed by blight.
—Careful trials have proven that for
feeding during the winter one ton of
good wheat or oat straw, one ton of
good clover hay and three or four hun-
dred pounds of good wheat bran are
equivalent to the same weight of timo-
thy hay, says an exchange. Witha
good of this given under a comfortable
shelter growing cattle or sheep can
readily be kept in a good thrifty condi
tion during the winter.
—Cabbage is a nitrogenous plant
and requires plentiful supplies of ni-
trogen in available form. Any manure
applied during growth must have suf-
ficient water to dissolve it or it will do
no good. On account of its solubility
nitrate of soda is one of the most effec-
tive and best manures for cabbage. It
will make good heads out of plants
that without it would furnish only a
bunch of loose leaves.
—Although England’s farmers make
a specialty of choice mutton sheep, and
Australia also supplies the London
markets with frozen meat, yet the
prices for good mutton keep pace with
the demand. In this country there is
a large field for mutton of a superior
quality, Wool growing retards the
placing of first-class mutton in Ameri-
can markete.
—A good farmer of our acquain-
tance says that he will never pasture a
field of fodder again. He tried this on
seven acres the past season, to save
the expense of cutting up the corn, and
found that he received only a small
proportion of the usual benefit from the
todder. After this he will cut and feed
properly every stalk of corn he
grows,
--The Oregon experimental station
gives the following directions for brin-
ing butter: Take one pound of gran-
ulated sugar, one tablespoonful of salt
peter and three gallons of brine strong
enough to bear an egg. Boil the
brine and strain when cool. The but-
ter should be wrapped in cloth before
placing in the brine,
—A farmer suggests that it is a good
plan to fumigate all grain bins, and
corn cribs, by burning therein behind
closed doors and windows a good pot of
brimstone. This will kill all insects
and destroy spores of disease that
might otherwise be perpetuated.
—The fall 18 an excellent time to
use lime. Plow the land, run the cul-
tivator over it crosswise, and apply
from 30 to 50 bushels of lime per acre.
It may be left on the surface, no har-
rowing being required, as it will be car-
ried down by the rains.
—The best pork, as well as the
cheapest, says an experienced hog
raiser, is that made from hogs that
have never been wintered. Quick
growth and early maturity are esseu-
tial is securing the largest pro-
fit.
—Here is the list of foods with
which British mutton growers vary the
rations of sheep on pasture : Turnips,
rutzbagas, mangolds, vetch, rape, cab-
bage, beans, peas, linseed cake, barley
and wheat bran.
—Everytime a garden crop matures
remove it. Peas, beans and early
dwarf corn that have ceased to be use-
ful should be removed and the ground
cleared off. Leave no harboring places
for insects.
—Liquid manure is more valuable
than the solids, and is in better condi-
tion for troops than the solid portions.
It can be saved by the use of absorbent
material. Even dry dirt is better than
nothing.
—DBe slow to cut off large limbs from
fruit trees ; prune the young sprouts
with the thumb. The less severe the
pruning to which a tree is subjected
the more likely itis to be of long
life.
— Barrels should be filled with road-
dust—which could be easily gathered
during a dry spell—and saved for win
teruse. Dust is a good vermin exter-
minator.
—Bad fences very frequently are the
cause of stock becoming breachy.
Keep an eye on the fences between the
pastures and the corn fields.
—M. A. Thayer says that new straw-
berry beds for family use may be set
this month, and set as early in Septem-
ber as possible.
— Bran, middlings and linseed meal
are always valuable foods to use, no
matter how plentiful other kinds may
be.
—It pays to cultivate land now that
has no crop on it, as the weeds are
destroyed while they are small,
/
A Useful Lesson.
Last week we were waited upon by
Lewis Chase a very intelligent colored
man from Philipsburg, who seemed
proud of the title “A Book Agent.”
We took some interest in Mr. Chase’s
books and was somewhat surprised at
the lesson taught by his subscription’
list. Upon its pages we found the
names of persons in very moderate cir-
cumstances, much oftener than we
found the names of the wealthy people.
Mr. Chase has been selling subscrip-
tion books for many years and is proud
of the fact that he has done some good
in the way of intellectual development
and the cultivation of the hearts and
minds of many young people. Nothing
is more to be desired than the cultiva-
tion of the habit of reading in the minds
of the young. Nothing produces such
excellent returns as the reading and
studying of good bocks. In the hum-
ble home it is much more common than
in the homes where society’s claims fas-
ten themselves upon the young. The
reading ot a good book, by the rising
young man, is worth much more than
the social game of cards or the fas-
cinating game of lawn tennis. The
reading of a good book by the rising
young lady, is vastly better than the
summer walks and the summer gossip.
Many a young lady may have gentle
manners and modesty in dress, but with
a mind as frivolous and shallow as the
beautiful morning glory that closes its
doors at sunrise. Many a young man, who
appears in his patent leather shoes, and
his ruffled shirt front, and whose suc-
cess at riding a bicycle’is beyond ques-
tion, has a brain lighter than cork and
an understanding that can be measured
only by the smiles on his face. Society
offers too many inducements, too many
temptations, and too many vanities to
the young man or young weman who
wants to be admired on account of his
or her rosy cheeks, fashionable dress and
ability to entertain on the lawn or in
the parlor. We find in our offices to-
day the rude boys of years ago, who
never danced to the music of an orches-
tra, who never slept until their mothers
had cooked their breakfasts and the
servants had blackened their shoes.
Boys who delve deeply into the resour-
ces at their command in search of
knowledge. Boys who acquired habits
of industry and inherited habits of
economy and integrity. These children
of poor parents, who studied the books
at their command in youth, are to-day
the business men, the professional men,
and the legislators in this country. The
girls who milked the cows on the farm,
read good books, by the light of the tal-
low candle, and while they turned the
crank of mother’s churn, are the lead-
ing mothers of the country to-day.
They are the women who have brought
about reformations in society and are
the pillars of the best homes in the
land. Mothers do you expect your so-
ciety daughter to make as good a wife
and as good a housekeeper as you have
done? Do you expect your daughter,
whose mind runs on parties, on rufiles
and gayety, to be the intellectual wom-
an that you are? We fear not. There
is a growing tendency to discard the
real and caress the shoddy. Fathers do
you expect that young son who is out at
night, and sleeps until ten in the morn-
ing, to make the industrious man you
have made? Do you expect that boy,
who never reads a good book but whose
mind is fastened upon base ball, boat-
ing and pleasure games to develop into
the intellectual man you are? If you
do take him off his high horse et once.
— Rastsman’s Jonrnal.
An Inportant Question Decided.
A few days ago the secretary of the
commonwealth addressed a communi-
cation to Attorney General Hensel ask-
ing him to be advised as to whether
affidavits to nomination papers and
certificates of nomination made before
prothonotaries and clerks of the courts
should be rejected as manifestly defec-
tive. Chairman Gilkeson, of the Re-
publican state committee, notified the
state department that such papers
would be regarded as invalid. He took
the position that prothonotaries and
clerks of the court were not qualified to
administer oaths except in matters re-
lating to the courts.
Atiorney General Heneel, Friday ,de-
cided that the act of June 10, 1893,
requires only that these affidavits shall
be made before an officer qualified to
administer oaths. Hesays: “By the
terms of the act of 1859 (P. L. 194)
prothonotaries and commissioned clerks
of courts of this commonwealth havea
general power to administer oaths and
affirmations. Affidavits made before
these officials are sufficient for the pur-
poses of this act, and I advise and in-
struct you that certificates and nomi:
nation papers of this character should
not be rejected as manifestly defective.”

_ Things.
There are few words in the English
language of such comprehensive appro-
priateness as the word ‘‘things.” We
put on and take off “things.” We put
down and take up “things.” We
walk over “things,” and pick “things”
up, and put ‘things’ away. We love
‘things’ and hate ‘‘things’’ and consid-
er ‘things’ and think about ‘‘things.”
We look beyond the “things” seen to
the “things” not seen. And these are
“things” temporal, and those are
‘things’ eternal.
And each and every one of these
things” has a different significance and
belongs to a different class. There are
material ““things’’ among them, and im-
material “things.”” They are physical
and mental ; of heaven and earth; of
time and of eternity. A word of special
definition, it designates everything in
turn. For it may be anything. It
may be nothing.
Itis a facile snare to the slipshod
writer. Dilating on the beauties of
“everything,” this “lovely thing” or
that ‘exquisite thing” tempts him to
rest satisfied with the yielding expression
which saves search for a more specific
word. It is the ready recourse of the
shallow clatterer, who calls her friend a
“sweet thing” as frequently as she
speaks of her enemy as a ‘spiteful
thing.” 1Itis the refuge of the lazy,
the negligent, the ignorant talker of any
age, to whom the proper names of the
articles are superfluous so long as the
word ‘‘things’’ exists in the dictionary.
So universally misused, abused, and
the proper thing under the circum-
stances would be so far as possible to
ignore it in our own conversation and
in the talk of other people, and to insist
that ideas be conveyed by words which
means exactly what is intended to be
expressed, instead of by a word which
means anything or nothing at all.--Haz-
per's Bazar.
——Nathan C. Schaeffer, state super-
intendent of public instruction, said on
Friday : “In my next report to the
Legislature I will ask for a school cen-
sus, which will be the first step for com-
pulsory education. I will ask that as-
sessors be instructed to inquire as to the
number of births in families and in this
way the county authorities will know
the age of children and whether they
should be in school. I will recommend
that all schools be closed in districts
where the population has so decreased
that there are but a few scholars in each
school and that the state provide trans-
portation for the pupils to the nearest
schools.
——My boy was taken with a disease
resembling bloody flux. The first thing
I thought of was Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. Two
doses settled the matter and cured him
sound and well. TI heartily recommend
this remedy to all persons suffering
from a like complaint. I will answer
any inquiries regarding it when stamp
is enclosed. I refer to any county offi-
cial as to my reliability. Wm. Roach,

ever put on the Bellefonte market, which will
be made in the large room; formerly occupied
by Harper Bros., on Spring street. It has been
added to my factory and will be used exclu-
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
elegant'room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which tite harness can be
nicely displaged and still' kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
leather. Our factory now oceupies a room
16x74 teet 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
we want everyone to see our goods and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense

philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
