Farm Notes.
em
— Now that the tools must be kept
in order the grindstene will be found
of valuable service. A grindstone
pays for itself every year.
—The first thing to do in the spring
is to apply a liberal allowance of eolu-
ble fertilizer on the asparagus bed, as
asparagus comes early in the spring.
—Do you raise calves from your best
cows only. If your best cows make
$10 a year more than your poorest
cows this is five per cent. interest on
$200.
—When the cow is dry and is ex-
pected to come in fresh, do not feed
her too heavily. It is of no advantage
to bave her in a fat condition, as milk
fever may result.
—The feeding and milking of the
butter cow operates just as the train-
ing and racing of the horse. It tends
to fix the performing habit—and hered-
ity tends powerfully to transmit all
fixed habits.
—TFor tree wounds various things
are used. Perhaps the best material
is tar, long used by Prof. Sargent, with
excellent results. At the Kew Gar-
dens, coal tar and carbolic acid is used
with entire success.
—The Robertson cow ration, includ-
ing a mixture of sunflower seed, gave
an increase over older methods of feed-
ing but not enough to pay for the extra
trouble and cost, said the Vermont sta-
tion director.
—Every tarmer is, or ought to be,
interested in protecting his own pro-
ducts, and every pound of butter pro-
perly made and sold at a fair valuation
is a paying factor in the interest of
every other butter maker.
—The most successful poultry
breeders separate pullets and cockerels
as soon as they are half grown. They
develop better, and in all respects do
better. A few quarrelsome cockerels
disturb the peace of a whole yard of
fowls.
—Don’t try to winter your fowls by
feeding in troughs or throwing their
grain feed on the bare floor where they
can readily pick it up. Have a heavy
litter of straw for them to scratch in
| Successfal Railroaders Start at the |
| : Bottom.
That there is a chance to rise in the
railroad vocation is evidenced by some
interesting figures. Somebody has tak-
en the pains to look up the records of
128 general managers, taken at random
from the country at large, and 1t has
been discovered that no less than 105
worked their way from the bottom to
the top rounds of success. They com-
| menced, as clerks, operators, rodmen,
brakemen, etc. Only 53 bezan any-
where near the top of the ladder.
There is a good deal of a moral in this
It shows how the railway service has
progressed of late years, and that, gen-
erally speaking, the way to get to the
top is not by favoritism or influence,
but by starting in at the bottom and
just climbing. While occasionally
there are rank instances of favoritism,
cases that cry aloud to heaven the unfit-
ness of the occupant of some position,
placed where he is by family or pluto-
cratic influence, but such only go to
prove that the standard is personal fit-
ness for the position. The fact is, it is
becoming more and more necessary
every year in railroad work that every
man must stand on his own merits, or,
to borrow that homely proverb, every
tub must stand on its own bottom. The
exigencies of competition demand this.
Nowhere is the business race keener
than in the railroad world, and the offi-
cial who doesn’t know his business, or
who doesn’t look alive, so to speak, will
be distanced by his rivals and soon
found out. It is imperatively necessary
that he be abreast of the times, or he
will get left.
Debs and Associates Admitted to Bail.
WasniNgToN, Jan. 21.—The su-
preme court to-day made an order in
the case of Eugene V. Debs and the
other American Railway union officials
now serving a sentence for contempt of
court, admitting the petitioners to bail
and fixing the 25th of March as the
date for hearing argument on the rule
to show cause why a writ of habeas
corpus should not be issued.
Proposed Amendment to the National
Constitution,
‘WasHINGTON, Jan 23—The house
committee on the election of President
and vice president to day ordered Mr.
Donovan to make favorable report on
Mr. Bryan’s joint resolution to amend
the constitution so that ‘After January,
1898, no person once elected to the pres-
idency shall be eligible to election to
that office to succeed himself.
and let them hunt for the wheat ard
corn.
—Animals canuot be fed by a rule.
Each one must receive what it may!
require, and this can be only known
by observation. Animals differ, and |
the quantity of food that may satisfy |
the demands ot one may be insuffi-|
cient for another.
—Sow the pansy seed now in a
small box, so as to have large and
thrifty plants for transplanting when
the spring opens. They are very
hardy, and when once they get started
will be able to grow right on. When
they begin to bloom keep the flowers
plucked off so as not to allow the
plants to seed.
—A heavy applicaticn of ground-
bone will prcduce excellent resulta for
several years, for the reason that ihe
bone gives off its particles slowly, and
is not dissolved for reveral seasons.
For immediate results acidulated rock
or bone superphosphate should be
used. In the latter form there is al
ways a fair proportion of nitrogen.
—+#iAg a renovator and enricher of
the £6il” alfalfa is said to be equal, if
not superior, to red clover, but is hard
to plow up and very difficult to eradi-
cate. Attention is called to the fact
that the finest and most perfect of the
famous Colorado potatees are grown
after alfalfa, and rotation including
it is being rapidly adopted in thai pota-
to country.
—At this season, when the roads are
meade alternately hard and soft by
freezing and thawing, farmers are
nearly blockaded in some sections. It
is a good time to study the problem of
good roads, and make resolutions re-
garding them another winter, but in
the summer the question of taxation
will take the preference. Now is the
time tc estimate how much you are
losing from bad roads. The tax isa
gmall sum compared wiih the advan-
tages gained by good roads.
—Apple orchards are numerous, and
in Pennsylvania and New York every
farm has an orchard, but when the
trees were planted proper attention was
not given the varieties of apples. This
applies mostly to old orchards. Ifap-
ples are properly treated as a crop,
rather than to partly occupy the
ground while some other crop is
grown between the trees, the orchard
will give an excellent return, especial-
ly if proper methods for harvesting
and storing the fruit are practiced.
—As much as 500 pounds of sul-
phate or muriate of potash may be ap-
plied to an acre of ground, and while
1t is best to do so in the fall, on very
heavy soils, yet early in the spring is
an excellent period for applying. If
good wood ashes can be ‘obtained
cheaply they are better than salts, but
they lack in uniformity of quality,
some kinds being low in potash, while
the customer who purchases a large
quantity will incur the risk of procur-
ing ashes that have been leached.
—The establishment of creameries
has done much to enlighten the farm-
ers. They have been compelled to
give some consideration to the breeds
of cattle. to use better implements in
the dairy, and to produce better butter
in order to compete for the highest
prices. Those who patronize the
creameries have lessened their labor,
and combined several other pursuits
with the keeping of good cows. On
farms where formerly only milk and
butter were sold there is now a diver-
sity of crops, and varied products are
shipped to market.

Midway Plaisance, which all
visitors to the Fair remember so well,
will soon be transformed into one of
Wide boulevards and paved walks,
fringed by rows of stately shade trees
and fragrant flowers, will form a border
for a series of sloping lawns that will
stretch their velvety surfaces over the
wile that was once trampled by millions
of feet. Scarcoly four weeks’ work re-
meins to be done. All of the grading
is finisited, and so is the rest of the heavy
work. The excavations were completed
several months ago, as far ag was practi-
cable, in accordance with the design for
converting the Midway into a canal at
some future period. About four blocks
of driveway await paving and a mile of
sidewalk is yet to be built. When all
this is done, and the laborers shall have
scattered a dressing of black dirt over
fifteen or twenty acres of the lawns the
Park Commissioners will be ready to
open the grand avenue between Jackson
and Washington Parks to the public.
At present there is little or no work be-
ing done because of the weather. Harly
in the Spring, however, operations will
be resumed, and May 1, 1895, will wit-
ness the final touches to the big under-
taking, and, incidentally, it might be
seid, the expenditure of nearly $180,000
for the improvement.

——A good old Methodist lady at-
tending service in a suburban Episcopal
church last Sunday became happy un-
der the preaching of the word, and
ejaculated : “Glory !”” She was admon-
ished to keep quiet by two of the breth-
ren, and nodded assent, but soon becom.
ing forgetful, responded : “Hallelujah I”?
The brethren again called her attention
to the annoyance, and told her that if
she did not keep quiet they would be
compelled to remove her. The sermon
proceeded, and the old lady becoming
very happy, and forgetful of her sur-
roundings, shouted out: ‘Glory to
God!” This was too much for the
brethren, and they tried to lead her out;
but she refused to walk, so they carried
her. On the way she said : “I am hon-
ored above my Master, for while he was
carried by an ass, I am carried by two.”
——A Frenchman who has recently
traveled in this country says in Le
Temps that what struck him most in the
United States was the American habit
of filling the teeth with gold. About
$500,000 worth of gold is thus used
every year, he says, all of which, of
course, is buried. So he figures that at
the end of three centuries the cemeteries
of this country will contain gold to the
value of $150,000,000. “T am afraid,”
he adds, “that this will prove too tempt-
ing to the practical mind of the future
American, and we shall see the day
when companies will be organized to
mine the cemeteries and recover the
gold secreted in the jaws of dead ances-
tors.”’— New York Tribune.
Not So Easily Scared.
“You’d better go away. We've got
the measles here,’ said the woman at
the kitchen door.
“Madaw, replied the tramp, seating
himself on the step with great delibera-
tion, ‘‘the only disease I am afraid of
is appendicitis. I shall be obliged to
ask you, madam,” he added, with dig-
nity, “not to give me any cherry pie.”

SAN Josk, Cal, Jan. 27.—A sensa-

by the discovery that the prisoner book-
ed as Milton B. Matson was & woman.
She was arrested at Los Gatos ona
charge of issuing bogus checks. For
about two years she conducted a hotel
at Ben Lomad, and owed many debts
there. The discovery was made through
a remittance from Englewood to Louisa
Matson, on the Bank of British North
America, while Matson was in jail here.
These remittances have heretofore been
paid to a bogus man on her indorsement

The Johnson Rail Mill Shuts Down.
JonNstowN, Pa., January 27.—The
Johnson company’s steel rail mill shut
down in this city to night, and to-mor-
row a large force of men will be put
to work tearing out the machinery and
loading it on ‘cars for shipment to Lo-
rain, O., where the company is build-
ing a great steel rail plant. The va-
cated building will be used for other
purposes at an early date. The switch
works, which are the most extensive of
the Johnson company plant here, will
not be removed, but in all probability
considerably enlarged. The officials
of the company say that Johnstown’s
loss of the rail mill will not be felt, as
the company will employ as many, if
not more men in the future in the oth-
er branches of its industry.

(SCHOFIELD'S NEW
HARNESS HOUSE.
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 om
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
elegant room has been refitted and furnished
with glass cases in which the harness can be
nicely aisplayed and still kept away from
heat and dust, the enemies of long wear in
leather. 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.
Weare 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
ou 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
