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

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.”

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 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 goods
in the room in which they were made. This
sspans room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat ana dust, the enemies of long wear in
lestner. Our factory now occupies a room
16x74 teet 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
will buy. Our profits are not large, but
y selling lots of goods we can afford to live in
Bellefonte. We are not 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. fits

When other houses discharged their work-
men during the winter they were all put to
work in my factory, nevertheless the bi [1]
houses of this city and county would smile if
we compared ourselves to them, but we do net
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
