Farm Notes.
—TFire is the best insect extermina-
tor. Gather all the rakings of dried
weeds or matter in which insects may
harbor, as tar as it can be done, and
apply a lighted match to them.
—The painting of house and white
washing or painting of out-buildings,
fences and gates, should be looked to
and renewed as often as needed, for ap-
pearance’s sake, as well as for the sake
of preserving the wood.
—From many careful experiments il
has been determined that the force
necessary to draw a given load, on a
level on a good broken stone road. is
less than one third of that required to
draw the same load on a common
earth road.
—Strawberry vines should have
made rapid growth since the fall raius
set in, and if such has not been the
case it indicates that something is lack-
in the soil. They should receive an
application of fertilizer as early in the
spring a possible.
—Too much manure cannot be ap-
plied on land. In Europe the farmers
often spread it over the land to the
depth of six inches. They are never
afraid of “burning up” the crops with
manure, especially when the manure
is well rotted and fine.
—Excepting the golden rod, milk
weed and ragweed, all the rest of our
weeds have been imported. These for-
eign weeds are the jmost troublesome
and persistent. If it was someone's
duty to keep them from the highways,
these pests would not travel so fast.
—The feet of horses need frequent
examination. When the feet are sore
or are injured in any manner the use-
fulness of the animal ceases. To pre-
serve the feet some attention is neces-
sary in keeping the stables dry and
clean, and this should not be left en-
tirely to an assistant.
—TItalian bees are now conceded to
be the best bees for this country. New
varieties come up every season, are
given a short-lived boom and drop be-
low the horizon, to again appear brief-
ly in a few years, The ltalian has
been tried and has not been found
wanting, They are the best.
—It is claimed that the second
growth of sorghum is very injurious to
cattle, killing them in a short time,
though the first growth is considered
excellent food. What it is that causes
them to die from eatingj the second
growth is not known, but cattle raisers
report losses from such food, however.
—By taking a young lamb and a
young puppy and raising them togeth-
er, training the puppy to remain with
the lamb and the flock, he will afford
protection to the sheep later on, but
much depends on training. A young
ram that is raised at the house among
dogs, and then turned in with the flock,
will often attack every strange dog
that appears.
—Begin feeding cooked turnips as
soon as the cattle come off the pasture.
A mess of cooked turnips, thickened
with bran and cornmeal, will be high-
ly relished by the pigs, and it may be
stated that for geese and ducks there is
no food cheaper or better. Laying
hens can be kept in good condition on
such a diet in connection with meat
and grain.
—There is no advantage in having a
sow farrow at (h's season of the year
unless the pigs can be kept warm and
dry during the winter, when they may
be turned out on clover in the spring.
1f the pigs becomestunted by cold they
will never tally recover from the effects,
the pigs farrowed in the spring will
overtake them in growth, and exceed
them in weight before the end of the
year.
—The natural milk ot the calf is
that which contains the fat, or carbona-
ceous portion. When the calf is ted
on skim milk it is deprived of the fat,
which is so necessary to its thrift.
Flaxseed weal is used to supply the
deficiency, but experiments show that
the flaxseed is too rich itseltin the pro-
tein elemenis as a substitute for the
carbonaceous matter, and cornmeal or
ground oats are suggested as substi-
tates.
—Foo:-rot in sheep prevails mostly
when the animals are kept on damp
ground. They also succumb to damp
quarters. When digease breaks out in
a flock it usually spreads rapidly. There
is an old maxim that “a sick sheep
does not get veil,” and while this may
nt te swrictly true, yet it is very diffi-
cult to bring the flock to good condi-
tion when ounce iv has met with untav-
oratle conditions. Dry ground and
dry quarters are essential Lo success.
—The black knot does more dam.
age to plum growers than the curculio.
The curculio may be successfully
fought by spraying early in the season
and by jarring the trees, but the black
knot not ouly destroys the trees, but
spreads over the entire neighborhood.
Any tree that is badly affected should
be dug up by the roots and cousigned
to the flatnes, and any appearauce of
the disease on a tree should be the s'g-
nal lor vigorous cutting away of the
parts attacked.
—Mr. E. S. Grant, of Hammonton,
N. J., raised nearly 1000 ducks on a
small plot ot ground, and repor's that

est on capital, etc, Lave been .de-
ducted be made a clear profit of 20

Bulbs That Should be Planted the First Week
in October to Secure a Fine Display of Spring
Flowers.
Out door flowers are pever as attrac-
tive as in early spring, when the merest
bit of green or glimpse of a blossom
catches our color-starved eyes. There is
something so fresh, inviting and pro-
phetic of summer glories to come in the
first bright flowers that brave the incle-
ment days of the young year. But it is
not for their hardihood alone that we
love them. No more beautiful flower
blows than the hyacinth, none more
gorgeous than the tulip, none daintier
than the gray hyacinth and the lily of
the valley. In clouds of rose, azure,
crimson, in white, in waves of scarlet,
blue and gold, the spring flowers appear,
filling the air with their fragrance,
If you are one of these forgetful mor-
tals, rouse yourself at once and attend to
the matter before it is too late. The ad-
vertisements of the bulb dealers are to
be tound in every magazine and news-
paper. Send for catalogues, make your
choice and hurry the bulbs in the ground
as soon as possible. Bulbs can be plant-
ed out of doors as late as December, but
the sooner they are set after September,
the earlier and finer flowers you will
have in the spring.
If you can’t afford to choose liberally
from the florists list—you can scarcely
go amiss. But if every penny must do
the work of too, bur,
The double and later tulips, crocus,
jonquils and quite a number of the nar-
cissus family, are also showy and quite
low priced. Very fair also are the snow
drops, scilia sibericus and glory-of-the-
snow, when grown in clumps as they
should always be, and as they are the
earliest of all flowers to bloom, and one
priced as low as 25 and 30 cents a dozen,
almost any one can afford a few. In
fact, nearly all the spring bulbs increase |
so rapidly, that from quite modest be-
ginnings, one soon has quantities of
bloom. The slowest to increase, and
consequently the highest in price, are
the hyacinths, that but for this would
lead all the rest in popularity, for unde-
niably they are the most beautiful.
Their heavy spikes of superb waxen
flowers, in rainbow tints, are simply
magnificent, and their fragrance is al-
most cloyingly sweet.
The bed for the bulbs should be made
mellow and deep. Set them a few inches
apart, the larger bulbs, as the hyacinth
and tulip, with the tops of the bulbs at
least three inches below the ground, The
smaller ones can be planted a little
shallower, but deep planting is best for
all. The rows should not be more than
six ov eight inches apart, as spring flow-
ers look best when massed together. It
possible, - cover the beds witha deep
mulching of litter, chip manure and
rotted stable manure, raking the coars-
est off when cpring is fairly well ad-
vanced, and leaving the finer particles
to blanket the ground and furnish nuy
triment that can be carried by the rain
to the greedy roots below. All these
bulbs are called hardy, but they are the
better for protection, and are prevented
by it from starting up too prematurely
in the delusive warm daysof late winter.

CeNTRETOWN, Ky., October 14.—
Elders Freeman and Mercer, Mormon
missionaries, who have converted fifty
people in this vicinity, mostly women,
to their faith, were visited by a party
of indignant citizens at 1 o'clock Fri-

and feathers. The two were then or-

day in an English paper to
distance the smoke from the American
forest fires had traveled. About the
time of the great Chicago firethere were
also extensive forest fires, whose smoke
was carried rapidly and directly east-

reported by numerous vessels in a con-
tinuous series from our Atlantic Coast
more than half way over to Africa.

population of Arizona at 70,000, of
whom 11,000 are Mexicans. There has

——The scoundrel Breckinridge has
made confession of his guilt to the
church of which he is a member and
asked the “prayers and love of his
brethren.” The church suspended him
until February 1, 1895, If there was
any evidence that he had really repent-
ed men might sympathize with him.
But the same wire which carried
abroad the news of his disciphne
brings also an extract from a speech
delivered by him a day or two ago on
the occasion of presenting to a local
democratic club a banner bearing his
portrait. In his speech he prates about
himself at a disgusting rate and pre-
sumes to denounce as hypocrites all
who do not feel that heis entitled to
honor and recognition at the hands of
his countrymen. He seems to have
persuaded himself that he is a very
badly used man, and that his person,
and the persons of his followers incar-
nate about all of genuine religion there
is left on earth. One who conducts
himself after the fashion of Breckin-
ridge shows very clearly that he is not
a penitent and humble sinner.
——Talleyrand declared that a good

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 gcods
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 kept away from
heat aud dust, the enemies of long wear in
leather. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 feet and the store 20x60 added makes it
the largest establishment of its kind outside
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
We are prepared to offer better bargains in
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
iu will buy. Our profits are not large, but

Bellefonte. We are noi indulging in idle
philanthropy. It is purely business. We are
not making much, but trade is growing and
that is what we are interested in now. ta

When other houses discharged their work
men during the winter they were all put to
