Bellefonte, Pa., Aug. 31,1894.
Farm Notes.
—The greatest gain in the weight of
cattle is not due to increase of fat only.
It is when an animal is growing that
it gains in weight rapidly. Young
steer, from one to two years old, have
been knowa to gain over two pounds a
day for months. This is due to the
fact that the bones, muscles, and all
other portions of the bodly add to the
weight as well as does the fat. A
large animal that is poor can weigh
more than a smaller one that is fat,
but it is fat that gives appearance and
quality from the buyer's point of view.
—Wheat is now a rival of corn as
food for stock. Wheat, however, is
more serviceable when cracked or
ground. For hogs it should be cracked
and soaked. It is estimated that a
bushel of wheat will produce about
twelye pounds of pork, For young
stock wheat should be preferred, but
corn still holds its place as the better
for fattening. A mixture of equal
parts of wheat and corn ground togeth-
er is superior as a general food for all
kinds of stock than either of those arti-
cles alone,
—A good brood sow is one that is
careful and kind to her litter, and
should be estimated in value by the
number of pigs she raises. The sow
that kills her pigs by crushing them,
or which is careless in her movements
among them, is unsafe for breeding
purposes, as the loss of pigs will cause
her to be unprofitable. An old sow
that has given satisfaction ehould nev-
er be discarded for one that is young
and untried.
—Apples ehould not be difficult to
keep during winter. Oue difficulty is
not sufficient care in harvesting the
crop. Be sure the apples have matur-
ed, and then pick them from the tree
in a manner to avoid bruising them in
the least. Apples that drop to the
ground will rot, as they become injur-
ed by the fall. Handle them caretully,
select only sound specimens, pack them
in barrels, and store them in a cool
place.
—Oue of the beset protections against
the attacks ot flies, where there is a cut
or a sore on an animal, or around the
base of the horns, is to intimately mix
one gill of pine tar with one quart of
crude petroleum, applying a small
quantity to the parts aftected. The
cost of the mixture is but a trifle, and
it should be kept on hand, in a conve-
nient place, ready for vse, as it is also
one of the best liniments that can be
made.
—Sheep will escape disease to a cer-
tain extent if given dry quarters at night
and not compelled to remain on damp
ground during the day. When the
wool becomes wet it does not dry quick-
ly, and the result is parasites and skin
disease. When compelled to be in filth
the sheep are liable to several diseases
due to that cause, while the wool gets to
that condition that is most favorable to
vermin,
—TLarge as is the corn crop the
weight ot the fodder equals that of the
ears on each acre, as a rule, hence the
crop of fodder is as enormous as that of
corn, and is nearly as valuable it care-
fully saved and used for stock. The
silo saves this food and keeps it in the
best possible condition for winter use.
--The organic matter added to the
soil increases both the warmth and
moisture. When a crop of weeds is
turned under the process of decay gen-
erates a certain amount of heat, and
the capacity of the soil to retain mois-
ture is also increased.
—The success of Denmark in butter
making is almost wholly dependent
upon the education of every member of
the farmer's or buttermaker’s family
in the most advanced lines of batter
making science.
—It requires, says an exchange,3500
locomotives annually, and 1000 ocean
crafts to move the surplus cattle, cotton
lumber, sugar, sorghum, oil, grain,
hay, fruit and other staples grown in
Texas.
—From 1890 to 1893 the ratio of
cows to population decreased but little,
The number of cows is not a criteron
of the butter produced, for the reason
that production per cow is rapidly in-
creasing.
—A writer says that cows’ udders
unevenly balanced are caused by care-
less milking ; caused by milking the
emaller side first. He claims that it can
be remedied by reversing the operation.
—In the selection of the dairy cows
an experienced dairyman advises to be-
ware of small eaters, weakly built
frames and fleshy animals, or a ten:
dency to fatten readily if well ted.
—Apples are usually budded about
September, the exact time depending
on the state of the bark. It must htt
easily, to admit the bud of the better
kind, which is to be inserted.
—The pig that has been on cloverin
summer and the hog that has roots
and clover hay in the winter, says a
writer, make larger profits than the
grain eating pig or hog.
—Potato blight is a fungus disease,
and must be gotten out ot the soil by
growing the potatoes on new plots of
ground every year until the disease
leaves the old potato fields.
—Work the cabbage. ITtisa crop
that does well with frequent hoeing and
cultivation, and will not thrive it neg
lected. The cabbage crop is one that
nearly always pays.
—Ths floods that have devastated
Lastern Pennsylvania and Western
New York are ascribed toih: influence
of the deforestation.
—The apple trade with Great Brit
ain his assumed great proportions,
amounting to 7,000,000 bush:ls within
the past twelve years,
A Singing Mountain.
Nevada Has a Musical Wonder That Long
Puzzled Prospectors.
In the Truckee mining district, down
the Truckee river, near Pyramid lake,
is situated Nevada’s musical mountain.
This mountain was first discovered by
the white settlers in 1863, at which time
there was some excitement in regard to
the mines found in all its neighborhood.
The discovers were a party of prospec-
tors from the Comstock
They had pitched themselves atthe
foot of the mountain, and for & few ev-
enings thought themselves bewitched.
Each evening alittle after dark, when
the air was calm and all was quiet, a
mysterious concert began. Out from
the face of the big mountain were waft-
ed soft strains that seemed to cause the
whole atmosphere to quiver as they
floated over the camp. The music then
appeared to pass over until it was far
away and almost lost in the distance,
when, beginning with a tinkling as ot
mary silver bells, there would be a
fresh gush of sweet notes from the
mountain.
During the daylight hours little of
the mysterious music was heard, and it
was soon settled that it was not caused
by the wind. A spring near which the
explorers had pitched their tent afforded
the only good camping grounds in the
neighborhood, and as each new party of
prospectors arrived at the spot the won-
der grew.
Some Plute Indisns who came along
and camped at tho spring were found to
be acquainted with the peculiar musical
character of the mountain. They called
it the ‘singing mountain.”
Some of the men collected in the
camp became more interested in the
mountain than in prospecting and
gave most of their time to an investiga-
tion of the mystery of the musical
sounds heard to proceed from it. They
found thot the whole face of the moun-
tain was covered with thin flakes of hard
crystalline rock. There were immense
beds of these flakes. The investigators
concluded that the musical sounds
heard proceeded from this loose mater-
ial, huge drifts of which seemed to be
gradually working their way day down
the steep face of the mountain.
At all events, the strains heard at the
foot of the mountain in the evening's
stillness seemed to be produced by the
uniting blending of the myriads of bell-
like tinklings proceeding from the im-
mense beds of slaty debris creeping,
glacierlike, down the slope.
This solution of the mystery of the
musical mountain is the only one
worthy of notice. As no mines of vaiue
were found, the district was soon de-
serted and has sinze seldom been visited.
Therefore few except old time prospec-
tors knew much about the singing
mountain.
An Empire his Present.
The Present Sultan of Morocco Owes His Throne
to His Mother.
The law of primogeniture, so rigidly
followed in most Western countries re-
garding succession to the throne, is dis-
regarded in Morocco, Sultan Muley
Hassan, who died suddenly on June 6,
bas been succeeded by Muley Abdul
Aziz, his younger and favorite son.
The Sultan’s elder son, Muley Ismael
fell into disfavor several years ago, and
was banished from court. In his place
the Sultan appointed Muley Abul-Aziz
“Kahlifa’”’—that is, his representative
and successor in case of death.
The new Sultan is little more than 18
years old. His mother was a Circassian,
Lelia Rekhia, whom the Sultan brought
from Constantinople years ago, having
paid 25,000 francs, about $5,000 for her
in that capital. The Circassian was
one of the most beautiful women in Mo-
rocco, and being clever, soon gained al-
most unbounded influence over her
husband, who cared more for riding and
hunting than he did-for politics.
Despite the fact that most of the court
partly favored the elder son of the Sul-
tan, she began early to lay her plans for
the succession of her own heir. It was
a matter of comparative ease for her, as
the boy from the first became a great fa-
vorite of his father, who always wished
to have the little fellow near him. He
looked upon him in fact, as his mascot,
just as the Shah of Persia believed his
fortunes to depend upon the presence of
the little child who accompanied *him
all over Europe three years ago.
The dead Sultan looked upon the late
Lwperor William I., of Germany, as
the greatest and most glorious man of
his time. This opinion, however was
due to the fact that His Majesty remem-
bered the Sultan’s favorite son when he
sent his special embassy to Morocco a
few years before his death. The Ger-
man representative in Morocco had in-
structed the Emperor well as to the
tastes of tha father, and His Majesty
sent the child a beautifully carved gun
of the most modern make. This present
pleased the Sultan more than the valua-
ble gifts which he himself received.
The present ruler is well educated, ac-
cording to Mahometan ideas, and is said
to be a young man of excellent charac-
ter. He is tall and erect, as most men
of his race. His cheek bones are promi-
nent and his skin is of rich bronze color.
His eyes are unusually large and dark,
with an expression of “dangerous mel-
ancholy.” His eyebrows are well de-
fined, his nose is long and semi-aquiline.
The expression of his face on the whole
is soft, but not particularly intelligent.
-———A large and bright star in the
southeastern quarter of the heavens has
been attracting attention of late, and
persons who have been out late have no-
ticed the splendor of its red light. The
star appears to some to be double aud
the light is pulsate. The body is the
planet Mars, which is nearer the earth
than iL has been for some years, and
will approach nearer and nearer
every day until autumn. It rises now
at about 10 p. m., but as it approaches
it will be up earlier. An amateur as-
tronomer says that Mars is in his normal |
condition and is not working a double
team with any of the other celestial
bodies. Its appearance to belated ob-
servers as a double light he attributes
defects in the vision of the observers,
owing to their having looked through
glasses other than telescopes.

Mechanics Will Emigrate to Kansas to the Pro-
posed Rival Works.
CHicaco: Aug: 26.—A meeting of
about 40 Pullran mechanics was held
this afternoon to consider the project
of moving in a body to Kansas, where
it is claimed work bas been offered
them. It was stated again at the
meeting that the men believed they
would be given employment in car
works to built especially for them by a
capitalist at Hiawatha, Kan.
The leaders announced to the men
that the only step necessary for ex-
employes of the Pullman Company
wanting work was to secure recommen-
dations from the foremen of their re-
spective departments. A committee
was appointed to see that such recom-
mendations were properly made out.
It was also determined to send the
committee to Hiawatha to look into
the scheme carefully.
In the Old Vatican.
The Vatican, the ancient palace of
the popes of Rome, is the most magnifi-
cent building of its kind in the world.
It stands on the right bank of the Ti-
ber, on a hill called the Vaticinus, be-
cause the Latins formerly worshiped
Vaticanium, an ancient oracular deftly
at that place. Exactly when the build-
ing was commenced no one knows
Charlemange is known to have inhabit-
ed it over 1,000 years ago. The present
extent of the building is enormous. The
length of the statue museum alone is
over a mile.
The Peach as Medicine.
The peach is the popular favorite
now. It is said to be a tonic, an aperi-
ent, a food and a drink combined ; or,
as a lady who is trying them puts it,
“they are both meat and medicine.” 1t
is said that they are good for the com-
plexion, good for the blood and good for
the digestion ; you may eat them when
you please—at night or in the morning,
or in the middle of the day—but they
must be ripe and they must not be stale.
On Time,
“Buffalo 1s a great railroad town,”
said the Boston young man. “A
charming young woman on the West
Side, in making an appointment with
me, said she would see me at 7:50 p. m.
My landlady has arranged to call me
at 6:45 a. m. One seldom hears the
terms ‘a quarter past’ or ‘half past.’
Everyone is on time."’— Buffalo Ex-
press.
——My boy was taken with a disease
resembling bloody flux. The first thing
I thought of was Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrbeea Remedy. Two
doses settled the matter and cured him
sound and well. I heartily recommend

from a like complaint. I will answer
any inquiries regarding it when stamp

cial as to my reliability. Wm. Roach,

with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in

16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
therlargest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
