Deuortatic: atc Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 28, 1894. Farm Notes, — Each field is adapted to some spec: ial crop. Study the soil and the needs of the crop. --Sweet potatoes contain a lare pro- portion of sugar, and are more fatten- ing than corn ! The smallest sizes are equal to the best for stock. —This is the season for preparing the asparagus bed. Cut down the seed stalks and use manure six inches thick on the bed. Next spring you will have large stalks and plenty of them. —Ground wheat, when used with cooked turnips, carrots, or small pota- toes, will induce rapid gain in stock. Variety of feed is also necessary in or- der to promote the thrift ot the ani- mals. Keep them in good appetite. —The seed corn for next year can- not be too dry. Let the select ears re- main on the stalks until the leaves turn yellow and the kernels are hard and dry, then hang the earsup in a dry place. — Linseed meal is a food that always proves beneficial to horees and cows, and it should be given at least three times a week. It may be mixed with ground grain or gprinkled on chopped carrots or cooked roots of any kind. — Loss of appetite is sometimes due to close confinement. When the win- ter sets in and stock must be kept up, there should be a large yard for exercise. If thereis a field adjoin- ing the yard, into which the animals can go on clear, warm days, so much the better. —The past season has no doubt taught an excellent lesson to those who have depended mostly on special crops. It is not safe to rely on one crop for a profit, for should excessive rains or drought injure such a crop the farmer will Jose the whole year. A diversity of soils should be made to produce general crops, which with judicious ro- tation, gives the farmer an opportunity to realize on some of the crops, though he may lose on others, —The management of the soil is at the present day a subject as important as the management of stock, and as the soil can gain or lose in fertility ac- cording to its treatment, the value of a farm depends upon the manner in which the soil has been cultivated. And not only does cultivation affect the soil but the kind of crop grown in- fluences it also, and changes its quality and texture to a certian extent, Many soils have been Jrought to a high de- gree of fertility with the aid ot but a limited amount of manure, by growing certain crops which not only cover the soil and protect it, but which also de- rive nitrogen from the air and add it to the plant food already existing in the soil. It is not only in the gain of fertility that the farm is enriched, but also in the prevention of loss by so managing the soil that even after the crop is removed a protection is given against ruins, beat and frost. While these agents are at times beneficial and important, under certain condi- tions of the soil it is necessary to guard against losing that which was gained earlier in the season of growth. MULCHING THE SOIL. —It is an advantage to plow some soils late in the fall, but scientis's are not unanimous in their opinions re- garding this subject. It is advocated that there is too much exposare of the soil, by which large portions of soluble matter are lost. Nature covers the al- ways, and never leaves it exposed. Under the fallow system, practiced in former years, when “resting” the land a year or two, by omitting crops, the soil gained in fertility, yet the plow was not used during the resting period. The gain in fertility was attributed to the scanty growth of herbage, which covered the almost barren fields, but the real gain was in the covermg of the soil and the additional plant food brought down by the rains, and which was transformed into other substances by the indigenous herbage covering the soil as a mulch, and thus promot- ing the formation of humus. Learning from experience, it has occurred to many progressive farmers that mulch- ing the soil is to protect it against loss as well as to add to its fertility. WEEDS MAY BE BENEFICIAL. —Weeds are claimed to be Nature's recuperative crops, which repair the losses made by man. Weeds compel the indolent farmer to cultivate the oil to save his crops and they at once cover the soil with heavy growth as soon as the farmer ceases to have crops on the land. If the crops of the farmer do not cover the soil so as to afford complete protection, the weeds make an attempt to gain the mastery, but when the crops 1s heavy and dense the weeds are kept down. Difterent soils may be covered by different weeds, even the poorest soils having weeds that will thrive on them, though not euitable elsewhere. If the weeds are allowed to produce seed they become a crop, but if plowed under they add to the soil.’ The question then arises as to covering the soil in the winter. Ifthe land is plowed and then seeded toa crop in the fall, the soil, is protected, but if this is not done. Nature still makes a further eflori, with weeds that spring up late ‘in the season, to cover the soil with a muleh. The sub- ject is one that commends itself to the | consideration of farmers, and though it is admitted that theory is at present in the ascendancy; yet it is believed that practical experiments will in future lead toa complets revolation in the treatmenti of soils after the regalar crops have been removed. Shadinz the soil promotes fertility, snl this gain occurs mo:tly in simmer, but it must be consarved anil retained in winter for use the following year. i i ttt Cartridges and Revolution. The seizure of 50,000 cartridges, ship- ped to Havana in casks labelled as tal- low, is prematurely reported as a sign of the approaching outbreak of revolu- tionary hostilities in Cuba. It is proba-' bly nothing more than a smuggling case. The duties on ammunition are so high in the island that all sorts of de- vices are employed for evading them. The discovery of this consignment is probably due to the neglect of the smugglers to secure by bribery the con- nivance of the customs officials. Under the high revenue tariff in that island smuggling is practiced in many lines of merchandise. The rapacious customs of- ficials know what is going on, and they are well paid for their services in pass- ing goods which are fraudulently in- voiced. Otherwise they would not be able to make fortunes in the service and to send to Spain high commissions to those responsible for their appointments. A revolutionary uprising in Cuba will be heralded by something more sensational than an everyday occurrence like smuggling, even when cartridges are shipped as tallow. It will come about some day when the jealousies be- tween the Spanish-born and Cuban- born classes have-burned out, and there is an instinctive recoil against an order of government that is ruinous to all in- terests. The conditions have undergone a radical change since the close of the patriot war. Then the landed proprie- tors, the sugar and tobacco planters,and nearly all the men of wealth and in- fluence were on the side of the govern- ment. To-day the land-owners and planters, whether Spaniards, Germans or Cubans, are annexationists at heart. They know that their fortunes depand upon radical reforms of administration which Spain will never bring about. They are waiting for some turn of the wheel which will enable political revo- lutionists to proclaim themselves annexa- tionists. In a crisis of that kind neither cartridges nor rifles will play an im- portant part. There is less talk about filibustering expeditions and revolutionary outbreaks than there has been in former years ; but all classes of the population in the island are drawing together, old feuds and animosities are passing out of re- membrance, and annexation is looming up as a popular policy which will re- deem the fortunes of the misgoverned island. Done Every Twelve Hours. Railroad Time Corrected Twice a Day by Tele- graph from This City. There was a time, says the Philadel- phia Zunes, when folks used to set their watches by the town clock, but they don’t do it much anymore. Nowadays the railway timepiece seems to set the pace. There is so much traveling and so many have to catch trains that men try to keep railroad time. Few think, however, how difficult it is to keep that same railroad time straight. A bad watch or false time, even to the extent of a minute or two, might easily involve the destruction of a train and many lives. Conductors and engineers not only must have a very accurate standard of time to go by. All clocks vary, but most clocks vary too much for railroad accuracy. All over the great Pennsylvania sys- tem the clocks are regulated twice every twenty-four hours by telegraph from Altoona, where they get the standard time in seconds from Washinzton. The conductors and engineers running out ot Philadelphia get their time from the clock in the rotunda at the Broad street station, the big one in the centre just outside the waiting room, which occu- pies the same position in the new station that it did in the old. This clock, which cost over $400, is considered a wonder, and in the old station seldom varied more than two seconds in the twenty-four hours. It has not been do- ing quite so well since taken down and put up again, but is improving, and is so much better than any other clock knowa that nobody thinks of changing it, and in all probability in a little while when it gets accustomed to its position and surroundings, it will come as near perfect accuracy as it ever has in its his- tory. The House of Hanover. Upon the death of Queen Victoria the house of Hanover will cease to rule in England, and. failing surviving issue to the Duke of York, the London Times assumes thal the heirship to the throne will lie with the daughter of the Duchess of Fife. “The crown came with a woman,” said the Stuart king of Scotland when he heard of the birth of a‘daughter, the subsequently unfortunate Mary Stuart, “and 1t will go with a woman.”’ The Tudor dynasty, at any rate, pass- ed with a woman—Queen Elizabeth— while that of the Stuarts in England came in through the girl child to whom the dying Scots king made melancholy allusion. The Electress Sophia, grand- daughter of James 1, was the female iink betwaen the ling of Guelph and the preceding dynasty, while her majesty connects Saxe-Coburg-Gotha with the great family which made popular in England the badge of the White Horse. —Philadelphin Press. The Soldier, the Indian, and the ‘Whiskey. “The way an Indian loves whiskey beats everything,” said the soldier. “I once met a Cheyenne on his pony. ‘Give me a drink of whiskey ; I'll give you my bridle for it," says he. ‘No,’ says I. ‘Ill give you my saddle,’ says he. ‘No,’ says I. ‘I'll give you my pony,’ says he. ‘No’ says I. Finally, if you'll believe it, he offered his bridle and saddle and pony all in a bunch for a drink !" “Well, and wouldn’t you give it to him for all that ?”’ asked the soldier’s listener. “Not much,” said the soldier. , “I had only one drink left, and T wanted that myself.”—in Harper's.

They’re just put in I don’t want to bother about them.” Such are the sentiments of a good | many schoolboys with regard to the branch of letter and composition writ- ing. Others again, appear to think that all that is necessary is to putin a com- ma here and there at haphazard, to set off “the looks of things.” How risky this way of doing things is may be learned from the following incident. It seems that, some twenty years ago, when the United States, by Congress, was making a tariff bill, one of the sec- tions enumerated what articles should be admitted free of duty. Among the articles specified were ‘all foreign fruit- plants,” etc., meaning plants imported for transplanting, propagation or ex- periment. The enrolling clerk, in copying the bill, accidentally changed the hyphen in the compound word ‘fruit-plants,” to a comma, making it read, “all foreign fruit, plants, ete. As a result of this simple mistake, for a year, or until Con- gress could remedy the blunder, all the oranges, lemons, bananas grapes, and other foreign fruits were admitted free of duty.—This little mistake, which anyone would be liable to make, yet could have been avoided by carefulness, cost the government not less than $2,- 000,000. A pretty costly comma, that. | for looks.
