Te ces ————————— eee Domarai La Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 23, 1894. Farm Notes. --Ground grain is better for young animals than the whole grain, and with the use of a geared windmill the grinding of the grain is buta small item of cost. ..'Vicious cows should not be retain- ed, as they are liable to do harm tothe attendants or to the other members of the herd. They are at all times a source of danger. —The corn fodder should now be gotten out of the fields while the weath- er permits. Every day’s exposure de- teriorates its quality and renders it lees palatable to stock. ...The lean ham is the tough one and the fat ham the disagreeable one. Make marbled hams by growing the pigs on clover, milk and grain -on a well-pro- portioned and nutritive ration. .-The New York experiment station is authority for the statement that a ton of butter takes but the insignificant amount of 48 cents worth of soil fer- tility from the land which has pro- duced it. —Tt has been suggested that when clover does not make a good stand, rye may be sown on the clover fields in the fail. This advice cannot be follow- ed this year, but it is well to remember it for next season. ..Until frost has completely destroy- ed all green substances the sheep will manage to find many foods that are valueless at this season, except for them, and they also manure the fields with their droppings. ..See that you have a sunny win- dow and a dry floor in the ben-house this winter. A damp floor and a dark room are fatal to success. Sun and warmth and dryness will ensure good health, cheaper feeding more egze. --Better buy thoroughbred eggs or fowls than try to grade up the commox stock, because it saves time, and goirg up hill is not half so easy as going down. A little neglect will mdke scrubs out of some of the best son enough. .Skimmed milk or buttermilk an- gwers as well for yourg pigs as the whole milk, especially it ground oats and ground wheat are added © the milk, so as to make a thin mush, Wita warm quarters such food will mske the pigs grow rapidly. —The cost of production governs the profit and not the prices received. Extravagaunce in feeding, warts ot valu- able food, and the use of sock that does not produce above the average. are the obstacles which case mort gages and entail losses. —It has been demonstratd that the feeding of wheat is just whet the farm- ers should have done longago. Farm- ers who had intended to dscard wheat now believe that it pays t) grow it for stock. It is considered swerior to all other toods, especially it ground or cracked. —1If farmers do nothing more than get rid of their scrub shep it will be a blessing to them, Tiere are more scrubs among sheep thai of any other animale. When farmes are forced to resort to the improved breeds they will a+ rome day look backupon low prices as blessings. ..-A mess of cookel turnips, given once a day, will be toind excellent in increasing the growf of young aui mals. They do not fountain any great proportion of nutritbn, being mostly water, but they propote the appetite and serve a dietary purpose, being & change from the usial dry food. ~The poultry louse in winter is usually very cold, js but few of them are lathed and platered. It is the prac- tice to have a ventdator at the top, but such 18 unnecessay, as it is more diffi- cult to keep the fesh air out than to letitin. Many deeases, such as roup and canker, are ue to trip ventilators in poultry bouss in winter. —The qualityadds more to the profit than prices mg be demonstrated al- most every da; by a visit to the mark- et. Recenly glot of cattle averaging over 1500 ponds each sold for $6.10 per 100 poun/s or two cents per pound more than tie regular prices in Chica- go, equivalet to $30 gain on each steer, as wel as the advaatage derived from the hadvy-weights. — It is tle practice of some growers of strawberies to spread straw over the rows @d burn them over. This kiils the seed seeds on the surface, and cleans th rows. The bed is then mulch- ed with dean straw, which is removed early in/he spring. The youny plavts come u/ vigorously on the approach of ward weatber, not being injured by being larved over. Old beds can be re- pewedin this manner, —i{s a rule farmers who discard shee because they do not pay have brec scrubs rather than the breeds that coud give profit. If farmers reduce the caacity of their flocks by using scrubs thy are at fault. It matters not what pices may be itis too costly to keep gleep that cannot provide a fair pro- prtion of wool. As to mutton, the narket is but rarely supplied with hat ot first quality. Sheep raising, as it should be, is as yet only in ius in- fancy. —The feet ot the horse should re. ceive special attention. No two horses require shoes alike. Ignorant i..ack- smiths, who know how to make a shoe and drive in tne nails, but who know nothing of the structure of the hoof, destroy or injure more hors:g than all other causes combined. The frog is cut away, the hoof is burned, and the rasp is freely used where it should not even touch the hoof. This is a very impor: tant matter to those owning horses. Horse shoeing is now a science. What Watterson Thinks. Why the Democrats Went Down and What Comes Next. Never did a party go to the people under such handicaps as were carried by the Democrats into the campaign just ended. The hard tunes were bad enough, but they might have been parried ; the factional fights among small claimants and rival placemen were bad enough, bat parties have met and overcome such obstacles before: now ; but with the record of ‘perfidy and dishonor,” as Mr. Cleveland aptly described it, to face and defend in a hand-to-hand fight with the united Republicans, led by Harrison, McKin- ley and Reed, it was disheartening for Democrats to have to face also the dull selt-sufficiency and stolid indiffer- ence of an administration that made no sgn, uttered no word, and, at least in toe State of New York, seemed to desire the defeat of the regular Demo- cratic nominees, What wonder that so much apathy in the official head should breed dissa- fection in the rank and file. What wonder that with so many koives whetted at Washington, there was blood on the moon down in the prov- inces. But it is all over, and let us hope it is well over. We sball have time to look about us; and while burying the dead, to cast some balance for the liv- ing. The battle for tanft reform will have to go down toot aud take a new start. ‘I'he battle over the mouey itsue will soon be upon us. We shall see whether there is Democracy enough left, of the true and blue stripe, to make a greatcoat good agaiust all weather, or whether we must still wear a coat of many colors, covering not a homogenous party, inspired by faith and truth, but a mere bundle of fac- tions thrown together by an up- heaval of the times. The Republicans have made sure that the Democrats cannot successiully govern the country, aud upon the lines of our recent experience it would seem that, at least, the men we have at the front cannot. At any rate, that szems to be the opinion of a majority of the voters, but no more can tne Republi- cans govern if, except by money or by force. When they were in power they could only get along by the aid of boodle, backed by bayonets. Tne Re- publican party is now what it always his been. Lt was and it is esseatially Lyon & Ce. Saddlery.

SA Like to be Deceived. The Milton Record gets its corsola- tion in this way. Tusays : Several years ago a resident of this town was suffering with a fatal disease, that in time would cause his death. One day he said to his physician, «Doctor tell me the plain truth —what is the matter, and 1s there any bope ?” His physician told bim frankly that his malady was incurable and that eventual- | ly would cause bis death. The next week hechan .ed physicians, and his new advisor told him his trouble was only temporary and that in time he would ! recover He bad faith in tbe doctor | whose opinion agreed with his own de- sire and hope, and although be continu- ed to grow weaker he bad confidence in his ultimate recovery up to the hour of his death. The Democratic party has always tried to be honest with the farmer an! the wage-earner. They have never ai- tempted to deceive them with false hopes and promises. But this is notin accord with their desires. Toey would rather be deceived than believe the truth, if it did not suit them. The Rs- publican party began lying in 1865, and although wages bave steadily decreased and the price of tarm products is lower to- day than ever beforein the history of our country, the working people and farmers still believe the deceptive promise of the protectionists and the evidences are that they would rather become puupers than admit that they are wrong and bad been deceived. This is why Hustings’ major- ity in Pennsylvania is two hundred and three thousaad and that there isa con- gressional slump even greater than in 1892.” A Wise Doctor, «Doctor, I have a frightful cold in the head ! What shall I take for it?” Doctor (after reflection) —*A hand- kerchief.”'— Texas Siftings. ——For a pain in the side or chest there is nothing so goud as a piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on over the seat of pain. It affords prompt and permna- nent relief and if used in time will often prevent a cold from resulung in pneu- monia. This same treatment is a sure cure for a lame back. For sale by F. P. Green.
