ACHE,
"Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 14, 1894.
Farm Notes.
—This is the season to begin with
incubators. Hatching broilers for ear-
ly spring is a winter occupation, but it
cannot be done with hens, in large
numbers.
—The best time to cut corn is when
the most forward husks begin to dry.
The husk is a better guide than the
leaves. When cut at such a stage the
largest proportion of nutritious matter
is secured.
— Before storing articles in the cel-
lar take a day for the purpose, use a
peck or more of sulphur, if necessary,
and fumigate it two or three times, in
order to purify the walls, floors, ceil-
ings and bins.
—The best way to keep honey from
candying, says a writer, is to seal it in
tight jars, the same as fruit. This is
the way that the bees do, and it is the
only safe way. It should be thorough-
ly heated before putting up.
Cull out the sheep and fatten those
not desired in order to sell them to the
best advantage. The flock should be
reduced to the number that can be most
economically provided for, and only
the best should be retained.
—1It pays to keep something grow-
ing in the garden during the whole sea-
gon. One crop should follow another
and thus prevent weeds from taking
possession. A garden that has been
given over to weeds is a disgusting
sight.
—There should be grapes on every
farm and village plot. They need well
drained soil, good cultivation and close
pruning, and will then well pay for the
space they occupy. Soapsuds is an ex-
cellent fertilizer for them, because of
the potash it contains.
—The hog is said to be nearly as
good a scavenger in the orchard as the
sheep, and if allowed to run there he
will destroy the worm-infested fruit
that falls to the ground, and in so do-
ing he will destroy the worms. He
will also enrich the ground.
—It is now so well established that
the plum curculio, the cherry worm,
the coddling moth, etc., may be des-
troyed by spraying with arsenical go-
lutions, that there is no longer an ex-
cuse for delaying planting the best and
finest varieties of every fruit.
—In 99 cases out of 100 the farmer
who contemplates moving to a more
favorable location. will find it more
profitable to stay onthe old farm, and
let his “moving” consist of getting
away from the old profitless methods
and up to the newer and better ones.
—The feet of young horses are often
permanently injured by standing upon
imperfectly constructed floors,
which are too hard or are not kept
clean. “No foot, no horse,”” say the
English. A filthy floor will not make
a sound foot. There is much careless-
ness in this regard.
—A correspondent to the Indiana
Farmer cot rid of the striped melon
bug by applying the following : Two
tablespoons of coal oil toone pint of
buttermilk. Mix and add six gallons
of water. Pour a small quantity over
the plants. Another recommends
very strong decoction of onions.
—Most of the nitrogen in food finds
its way back to the soil.in some form,
to be used over again, At the Minne-
sota Experiment Station it was de-
monstrated that 95 per cent. of the
nitrogen of the food was returned,
about 50 per cent. in urine, 20 per cent.
in the solid manure, and 20 per cent.
in the milk.
—Do not pasture to closely. Give the
grass an opportunity to grow suffic;
iently to protects the roots in winter.
Should the weath er be wet the tramp-
ing of the grass will not be beneficial,
Sow a patch of rye for late pasturage,
and after the stock leaves the pasture
field spread manure over the field lib-
erally.
— While prices may fluctuate, and
the farmer lose a § portion of his pros-
pective profits, yet he has a control
over the costs, By producing to the
fullest capacity of the soil the prospects
will always be favorable to a fair prof-
it. When inferior animals are kept
and nothing is added io the soil to keep
up its fertility, loss is sure to come at
some time.
—Radical changes of food sometimes
cause cows to shrink in yield of milk.
When the food is green, and the cows
must begin on dry food for the tall,
they should have green food also as
late as possible. Gradual changes are
not difficult if the use of dry food com-
mences before the green food is gone.
The pasture should not be relied upon
at this season.
—It is the labor that costs on a farm
and it requires just as much labor to
keep a poor cow as it does to attend to
a good one, but the good cow may pre-
duce twice as much as the other, and
therefore reduce the cost of the labor
one-half. Thousands of farmers save
as much as possible in the food and
waste labor and time in providing for
animals that never do more than pay
for their cost.
—Good roads shorten the distance
{rom place to place by enabling the
teams to travel more rapidly, as well
ar lessen the power required to draw a
load. The weight of the mud alone on
the wheels, during the winter, when
the roads are cut up and nearly impas-
sible, is sufficient to render hauling
difficult. When a dairyman is com-
pelled to use two horses to carry a can
of milk to a railroad station, and be
several hours on the road, he pays a
dear price for the privileg2 of produc:
ing and selling milk and his profits are
pesues) more than when prices of milk
fall,
State Convention of P. O. S. of A.
Nearly 700 delegates, representing
70,000 members, attended the State
convention of the Patriotic Sons of
America at Erie last week. The free-
dom of the city was extended by Mayor
Scott, followed by Hon. J. F. Downing,
who delivered the address of welcome.
His reference to the public schoo! sys-
tem and to the evils attending from
foreign immigration were greeted with
enthusiastic cheers. State President
G. F. Hobson's responded.
Charles F. Huth, of Shamokin, was
elected President ; S. Lincoln Brown,
Vice President; Geo. B. Anderson,
Master of Forms ; Geo. W. Umberger,
Conductor. The next meeting will be
held at Allentown.
A resolution to increase the per cap-
ita tax from ten to fifteen cents was de-
feated. $2,000 were appropriated to
extend the order to the thirteen coun-
ties in the State which have no camps,
and a resolution was passed providing
for the appointment of a committee ot
five for the purpose of investigating
and report at the next meeting the at-
titude and sentiment of the various re-
ligious denominations in the State to-
wards the public schools. It was not
aimed at any particular church organ-
ization, but was for the sake of inior-
mation. The order had taken no part
in the fight during the last few months
against the hiring of nuns as teachers
in the public schools, for the reason,
according to President Hobson, that
uo provision had been made by the
Grand Camp for such a crusade.
A recommendation to urge the var-
ious public schools to hold a ceremony
each morning at the raising of the flag
was discussed, but no definite action
takew, as it was the sentiment of the
camp that it was not within the pro-
vince of the order to ask for any such
regulation, although the suggestion and
the sentiment would be a good one to
advocate 10 the various localities in
which there are subordinate camps.
A Louisville Man Who Blundered
About His Headgear.
“Well, sir, said a well-known Main
street man, “I had an embarrassing
experience this morning. I invariably
sleep until the very last moment, and
then make a rush for the breakfast ta-
ble and the car. This morning I had
but five minutes to get through eating
and catch the car that passed my
door. I fairly poked things down my
throat, and hearing the clang of the
motorman’s bell I made arush for the
street. As I passed through the hall I
snatched a broad-brimmed straw hat
that was hanging on the rack, and
just reached the corner in time. Then
I dropped into a seat and took the
morning paper from my pocket. It
was not long until I heard a gentle tit-
tering from some dry goods clerks in
the seats behind me. They keptit up
and somehow I got an idea into my
head that they were laughing at me,
“After a while I turned fiercely to
one of them and asked what it was
that seemed to amuse him so. He
trembled and managed to grasp out
that 1 had on my wite’s hat. It was
even 80, and there was one of those
long, gaudy, y llow pins that women
use to kept their headgear in position,
sticking in it. I was so mad thatl
jerked it oft and threw it into the
street. Then everybody in the car
roared, and I felt truly furious. When
I reached a hat store I stepped in and
bought me a hat of the masculine var-
iety. Several hours afterward my
wife dropped in at the store, and she
was wearing my hat. There was a pin
in the back of it, and the little tace
veil swinging irom the front, but it was
my hat. I didn’t say a word and that
woman is wearing it yet. What both-
ers me is that everybody found out the
joke on me, and nobody has noticed it
on her.”

ville and Nashville, 4,700 miles ; the
Northern Pacific, 4,400 miles ; the Chi-

——The Republicans of Lackawanna
county hove nominated for re-election"
to congress Joseph A. Scranton, the
champion absentee of thelast house. Is
he not the same individual who made
the bad break in an attempt to
deliver a eulogy on the late Gen.
eral Lilly? Mr. Scranton has the du-
cats, but is a nuisance in the house. Yet
the Philadelphia ¢ Press’ feels bound to
stand up for his election because the
party needs his vote. Scranton has been
a candidate for congress regularly since
1880, and at every other election has
been defeated. This is the year of de-
eat.
—--A curious feature of Chinese coins,
the nail-mark,appears to have originated
in an accident very characteristic of
China. In thetime ot Queen Wentek
a model in wax of a proposed coin was
brought for her Majesty’s inspection. In
taking hold of it she left on it the im-
pression of one nail, and the impression
i has in consequence been a marked char-
acteristic of Chinese coins for hundreds
of years.
A Matter of Observation,
Mike [beating the carpet]--*What’s
that spot there that’s so worn ?”
Mary—*Oh, that must have been just
in front of the missis’ mirror.”
—— A Peanut Trust is the latest ad-
dition to “the communism of pelf.”
The question remains to be answered,
however, whether or no it will amount
to shucks.
—A complete set of British birds’
eggs is worth about $100.
Thomas Jefferson's Old Home.
From the Boston Post. '
Jefferson Levy, the rich young Ne
Yorker, who is a lineal descendant of
Thomas Jefferson, and who is anxious
to go to Congress, is the owner
of the famous Jefferson estate.
Montieillo, in Virginia, near Charlott-
ville. Itcame to him by purchase not
by inheritance, and he is spending a
deal of money in keeping the buildings
in repair. Recently he has entertained
Vice-President Stevenson, Senator Hill,
of New York, and others there. Mr.
Stevenson and Mr. Hill are very apt to
be found in each other’s company on
such excursions, and the fact has some
political importance for the future.
They were very pleasantly cared for by
Mr. Levy when they spent a night un-
der the Jefferson roof. Mr. Levy is a
man of leisure and will doubtless obtain
the coveted seat in Congress from New
York city at some future day. He does
not spend very much time at Monticel-
lo, and bought the estate to prevent it
from going to peices altogether. It
seems strange that none of the Virginia
chieftons— Washington, Jefferson, Mad -
ison or Monroe left descendants who
could worthily bear their name, as old
John Adams did.
——The “gospel wagons’ which are
being introduced as a religious novelty in
Philadelphia have long been used
abroad and are familiar in the West.
The idea back of them is that as Sunday
amusements and attractions that draw
from the churches increased new meth-
ods must be adopted by those who are
interested in Christian work. In Chica-
go gospel wagons on Sunday nights are
stationed near the theatres and other
frequented places, and, after hymns are
sung and a short address, the crowd is
marshalled, and, headed by the wagon,
goes to the Christian: Association build-
ing, where a large meeting is held.
——Wehile in Chicago, Mr. Charles
L. Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant
of Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious
time of it. He took such a severe cold
that he could hardly talk or navigate,
but the prompt use of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy cured him of his cold so
quickly that others at the hotel who had
bad colds followed his example and
half a dozen persons ordered it from the
nearest drug store. They were profuse
in their thanks to Mr. Bahler for telling
them how to cure a bad cold so quickly.

——Carl Browne is back in Massillon,
O., shouting for Coxey. Fortunately
for that Congressional district the Com-
monweal craze died out the moment the
people began to regard it seriously.
They have now had a surfeit of impos-
itors as Browne and Coxey and have
thrown them overboard.
——The wonderful cures of thousands
of people—they tell the story of the
merit of Hood's Sarsaparilla, Hood’s
Cures
-—One billion feet of timber per year
is being cut in Texas; at that rate it will
take but fifteen years to exhaust the
supply.
---On every Christmas Lord Rothschild
gives to each policeman of London a
brierwood and an ounce of tobacco.
—Suicide is less prevalent in Ireland
than in any other country in the world.

16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
