Farm Notes.
—If the manger is kept stufted with
hay the horses are liable to take the
heaves.
—Save the best seeds of the lima |
beans by assorting them, and keep
them in a paper bag in a dry place.
—1t will pay to make deep furrows
in the wheat field with the plow, if the
land is somewhat flat, in order to drain
off the surplus water and avoid liabili-
ty of the plants being thrown up by
frost.
——Asparagus tops should be cut
down just before the seeds muture, and
the bed cleaned. An application of
fine bone-dust, well worked in, may be
made this fall, with potash salts and
nitrate of soda in the spring.
—When an animal becomes choked
while eating potatoes, turnips, ete., it
is stated that by holding up its head
and breaking an egg in its wouth re-
lief is obtained immediately, according
to one who has tried the experiment.
—Next spring’s lambs will be what
the farmer may make them. It the
ewes are kept in good condition, and
not too fat, with warm, dry quarters,
and not crowded, they should not fail
to produce strong and vigorous lambs.
—Flocks and herds have .been con-
demned as unprofitable although con-
taining first-class individual members
which could not give their owner a
profit and pay for the support of a
large number of worthless animals at
the same time.
—Beehives should be kept in a dry
place and where the temperature will
be even. Cold does not kill bees as
quickly as will dampness. They create
a large proportion of animal heat in
the hive, and should not be in a loca-
tion that is too warm.
—A choice cow is more valuable in
producing future good cows than from
ber yields of milk and butter, but un-
less her offspring are sired by bulls of
pure breeds her usefulness as a breeder
of good animals will be impaired. Hold
on to the best cow and air to have her
produce calves that will be better than
she has been.
—Sheep will eat nearly all kinds of
young and tender herbage, and they
graze very clcse to the ground. They
prefer a variety of food while on the
pasture, and will not confine them-
selves to a single diet. WhenTkept in
the barnyard in winter they should be
given a variety also 8s mach as possi-
ble for the season.
—Spread a lot of fresh horse man-
ure, free from litter, on the plot select-
ed for onions, and work it into the soil,
allowing 1t to remain until next spring,
when tbe ground should be worked
over well. The mauure will be in ex-
cellent condition for the onion sets
when the time arrives for planting
them, which is usually very early in
the year.
—At the recent Towa State Fair, in
a competitive test, a Holstein cow
vielded 133.86 pounds of milk in three
daye, or 44.62 pounds per day (equal
to about 23 quarts) as well as produc-
ed over two pounds of butter per day.
This test was public, and was made for
the benefit of these interested among
the visitors, The yield, however, is
not extraordinary for the breed.
—Potash in the soil i= a special food
for certain plants, and if it is deficient
the crop will be starved out although
the soil may be rich in other sub-
stances. It is essential to the forma-
tion of starch and sugar, and exerts an
influence on the soil as a chemical
reagent which permite the plants to
appropriate other foods in the soil that
would otherwise be out of their reach.
—The great amount of wheat that
may be used for feeding is sufficient to
materially reduce the quantity grown.
We have according to the census re
port. 18.500,000 horses and mules;
42,000,000 hogs, 36,600,000 cattle, and
16,500,000 milch cows, not including
sheep. The amount consumed in a
year, even allowing for the use of corn
also, would create a demand at home
nearly equal to that which we export.
~--Room in the stables and barnyard
is valuable, yet the best animals are
sometimes crowded by those that are
unprofitable. When on the pasture
there is less injury from crowding, but
in the barnyard there is a deprivation
of comfort and contentment if too many
animals are kept. They have less
space for exercise, and also compete
with each other for food when it is
placed before them to pick over. It
does not pay to keep more stock than
can be made comfortable,
—It orchards were given as much
care and cultivation es 1s bestowed on
regular crops there would be less in-
jury from insects and fewer cases of
disease. It is veglect of the orchards
that causes the trees to run down and
cease to grow or bear fruit. An or-
chard should receive as much atten-
tion as grain crops, and will give a
larger profit than grain or hay in pro-
portion to area ot ground covered,
while swine, sheep and pouliry can
utilize the space also and szcure quite
a ehare of their subsistence theretrom,
~The proper temperature tor churo-
ing depends upon circumstances. Ex
perimen's demonstrate that tor chura-
ripened cream the warmer the cream
to 70 degrees the sooner the butter
comes, but the softer the butter. The
lower the temperature, though it will
require a longer time, the firmer the
butter. From 56 to 60 degrees in sam-
mer is uearly correct, though each
churner must determine for himself,
as the temperature of the chirn and of
the atmospbere must be considered.
The temperature in the churn rigs af-
ter churning beging owing t friction.

, Notes from the Pennsylvania Experi-
ment Station.
TESTS OF CREAM SEPARATORS.
During the Dairy School conducted
| by the College in January and Febru-
| ary of the present year, some tests of
| different makes of cream separators
were made. Similar tests were made at
the Dairy Schools in Vermont and New
York at about the same time. A com-
| parison of the Pennsylvania results
with the others mentioned brings out
some Interesting facts which are soon to
be published in full as Bulletin No. 27
of the Station. :
The three principal factors determin-
ing the relative excellence of cream
separators are :
1st. The completeness with which the
cream is separated from the milk ;
20d. The cost of operation, as meas-
ured by the steam consumed in separa-
ting a given weight of milk.
3rd. The mechanical construction as
affecting safety, durabilty, and conven-
ience in use.
The tests here described covered the
first two points only, it being evident
that only somewhat prolonged practical
experience could determine the third
point.
The efficiency of all the machines
tested was found to be high. For every
100 pounds of butter fat present in the
milk used, from 96 to 99 pounds were re-
covered in the cream. The results for
the different machines, taking the
average of the experiments at the three
different Stations were as follows :

Only the first four machines named
were tested atthe Pennsylvania Station.
As compared with the above averages,
the Pennsylvania trials showed, in gen-
eral, somewhat less milk handled and
correspondingly closer skimming.
The difference of about three pounds
of fat per hundred between the most
efficient and least efficient wachine
would represent a Joss of about three
dollars per day in a creamery handling
10,000 pounds of milk daily. Whether
this loss could be economically prevent-
ed by the use of the more efficient ma-
chine would depend chiefly upon the
relative cost of operating the two ; that
is to say upon the steam consumption of
the machines.
on this point also, the most important
result of whichis that a simple deter-
mination of the horse power absorbed in
running a separator may be entirely mis-
leading as an indication ofits economy
in operation. It is ordinarily estimated
that a steam consumption of 35 to 40
pounds corresponds to one horse power.
Reckoning on the basis of 40 pounds, it
was found in the Pennsylvania experi-
ments that the steam consumption cor-
responded to three or four times the
borse power which the dynamometer
tests at the Vermont and Cornell Sta-
tions showed was actually required to
drive the machines. The following
figures illustrate this fact :
Horse powerby Horse Power
Dynamometer {from Steam
Test. Consumption.
De Laval Alpha 0.79 8
Acme
0.69 4.57
United States
No.3
The machines of which the steam con-
sumption was determined were run by a
small vertical engine, and the results
simply mean that in a small creamery
steam is used wastefully and tbat the
horse power as shown by a dynamome-
ter test or an indicator card gives no
indication of the amount of coal which
must be burned to run the machines.
The steam consumption of the several
machines tested was as follows :
STEAM CONEUMPTION PER 1,000 LBS. OF MILK PER
HOUR.
Delaval Alpha Acme.....cuerernecennh 135.97 lbs.
United States No. 3....... 182 65 lbs.
DeLaval Alpha Turbine................... 104.10 lbs.
Standard Russian (Cornell result)....124.20 lbs.
These results permit an interesting
comparison between the belt machines
and the turbine machines (the DeLaval
Turbine and the Standard Russian).
They make it plain that when the horse
power required to drive a turbine ma-
chine is computed from the steam con-
sumption and compared directly with
the horse power indicated by dyna-
mometer tests of a belt machine, great in-
justice may be done the turbine. Such
a compariscn makes the turbine appear
to be a vastly more expensive machine
to run then the belt separator, while as
& watter of fact, as the comparisons of
steam consumption show, it was, under
our conditions, more economical of
steam than the belt separators. In other
words, it appears that while the turbine
doubtless uses steam extravagantly, the
Some tests were made |
small engine of the average creamery
uses it still more extravagantly, and the
introduction of the turbine in such a
creamery would be likely to result in a
saving of fuel. On the other hand there
can be little doubt that where the power
for a belt machine is derived from a
large engine it is more economical in
operation than a turbine.
In conclusion, attention should be
called to the fact that the two turbine
machines were tested at different places
and times and by different methods, and
that therefore it is doubtful whether the
above figures fairly represent the rela-
tive economy of the two machines.
The Victim of a Beauty Specialist.
Belle White, a woman of 25 years,
died in Chicago several days ago while
under treatment of a “beauty special-
ist.” Accompanied by her sister, Mrs.
M. J. Norris, she called at the Sophia
Sonta “beauty institute” for treatment.
The woman desired sallow blotches
and wrinkles removed from her skin.
She was placed in a chair and cocaine
was first applied to her face. The
operator was evidently ignorant of the
power of the drug. After the cocaine
an electric sponge was applied. The
cocaine is supposed to have produced
paralygis of the heart, for while the
electric sponge was at work the wom-
an dropped out of the chair, dead.

AJ CHOPIELI'S NEW
HARNESS HOSUE
—
We extend a most cordial invitation to our
patrons and the public, in general, to witness
one of the
GRANDEST DISPLAY OF
Light and Heavy Harness
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 execlu-
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 the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kop away from
heat aud -dust, the enemies of long wear in
lesther. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet and the store 20x60 ad: makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
We are prepared to offer better bargains iam
the future than we have done in the past and
we want everyone to see our goeds and get
prices for when you do this, out of self defense
ie will buy. Our profits are not lar;
y selling lots of goods we can afford to
Bellefonte. We are nol indulging in idle
philanthropy. Itis purely business. We are
not making much, but trade is growing and
that is what we are interested in now. fits
