Deworralic: td Bellefonte, Pa., Oct. 19, 1894. 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 alter all expeuse for food, labor, iuter- est on capital, etc, Lave been .de- ducted be made a clear profit of 20 cents on each duck, and yeu he did not get them in market in time to secure the highest pr.ces. He raised chem in tirooders, hatching the eggs in incnba- tors, the ducklings being cold when eight or ten weeks old, at which age they should weigh from trom four t» five pounds each. breed. Be Ma.

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. Mormons Get Fall Overcoats. 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- day morning and given a coat of tar and feathers. The two were then or- dered to leave at once, which they promised to do. the other the great ——Reference was made 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- ward, and within two weeks’ time was reported by numerous vessels in a con- tinuous series from our Atlantic Coast more than half way over to Africa. —— Governor Hughes estimates the population of Arizona at 70,000, of whom 11,000 are Mexicans. There has been a shrinkage in values, owing to the closing of the silver mines, but Gover- nor Hughes looks hopefully to the irri- gation of arid lands to renew tho pros- perity of the Territory. —- Enoch Pratt, of Baltimore, who is in vigorous health at 86, and the ac- tive head of several large corporations, wanted to give Baltimore a library, and so has spent $1,300,000 without troub- ling his heirs with the business. ——Gummey— Was President Mon- roe a sickly man ?

England spends 99 times as much in drink as education. ——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 dinner had great influence on human actions. This is certainly true. Many a man loses his nerve from no greater cause than an attack of biliousness. Every business man should keep in his desk Ramon’s Tonic Liver Pills. A box costs only 25 cents, but is worth $25 in its results. Ask C. M. Parrish, your druggist about it, and have him to give you a free sample dose. —— Berlin's 1,800,000 people only have 30,000 houses. - Books, Magazines Etc.

When other houses discharged their work men during the winter they were all put to work in my factory, nevertheless the Bi " houses of this city and county would smile if we compared ourselves to them, but we do not mean to be so odious, except to venture the as- section that none of them can say, as we can say “NO ONE OWES US A CENT THAT WE CAN'T GET.” This is the whole story.
