Farm Notes.
——Window plants and flowers be-
come infested with plant lice and dis
ease during the winter. The remedy
is to wash the plants with clear water,
using a soft sponge. Then wash in a
solution made by boiling an ounce of
quassia chips in a quart of water. This
should be done twice a week. Sprink-
le air-slaked lime around the plants.
There are several prepared remedies
which can be obtained of any seeds:
man.
—Grapevines, blackberries and rasp-
berries must be attended to in winter.
The grapevines should be trimmed
while the winter is cold, and before the
sap begins to flow. The old wood of
blackberries and raspberries should be
cut away, cleared off and burnt. The
black-berry borer should be looked af-
ter by cutting out all canes that; have
been attacked and burning them.
—Have a better fruit and vegetable
garden next year ; it will add much to
your health, happiness and prosperity.
In planning and planting it give place
to everything which can be made of
use on the home table. If you have
nothing but the common truck, add
celery, cauliflower, asparagus, siraw-
berries, currants and gooseberries, and
fill out the list to your own notion.
—Hothouse strawberries are occa-
sionally sold now at $3 per box or bas-
ket, and while there is no large de-
mand for them, they find purchasers.
This demonstrates that it pays
to give labor to a crop, and that
the greatest profit is in producing
something that is scarce. It is not
difficult to secure early strawberries
if the proper arrangements for growing
them are provided.
—Severe pruning of the peach tree
only lessens the amount of fruit, thus
avoiding trimming, but permits of
making new growth, The peach tree
seems to thrive best when the old wood
is cut away and new bude permitted to
grow. Some growers cut away oOne-
third of the top every year, thus hav-
ing one-third of the tree bearing, one-
third 1n buds for the future top.
—The heavy snows will greatly im-
pede travel, and when the frost begins
to come out of the ground early in
spring the roads will be in evena
worse condition, as only the drifting of
the snow interferes with the use of
roads, and the comparison is now in
favor of frozen roads. Taxes for good
roads is paying a small sum for a large
benefit.
—In France as many as 500 fowls
are kept on one acre of land, but they
are carefully attended to and the poul-
try industry is made a business. In
this country little care is given the
flocks. There is no branch of indus-
try on the farm that affords so largea
profit, in proportion to capital invested
as that of producing poultryland eggs,
yet it is more neglected than any other.
—The work of the past five years at
the Vermont station has shown very
strongly that watery food does not of
necessity make watery milk, and that
cows on early pasture make uot only
more but richer milk than when barn
fed earlier in the year. This is particu-
larly true of such as have not had as
full a barn ration as they should.
—-Maple and chestnut trees some-
times suffer from attacks of fungus
when grown in the cities, especially the
latter. Spray them with the Bordeaux
mixture, as soon as the foliage has ex-
panded, keeping it up with three or
four thoroughly spraying through the
summer.
—Early plowing kills the cutworms,
and that is a very important matter, as
the cutworms will sometimes cut down
young plants as soon as they appear
above ground. Cutworms entail an
enormous amount of extra labor on
farmers every season.
—-There can be no profit in lambs or
sheep where you are feeding a lot of
ticks ; not that the latter require so
much to keep them, but because they
prevent the former from profiting from
their food. They worry their appetites
away from them.
—If extraordinary good cows can
produce over 45 quarts of milk per day.
(as has happened,) the farmer should
not be content until he comes as near
as possible to that quantity with his
herd.
—White clover is one of the best
foods for sheep and it affords excellent
pasturage for cows. It is also a honey
producing plant, and the bees can
work on it, although they cannot pro-
cure honey from the red variety.
—1It is now reported that the disease
which carries off chinch bugs will al-
so destroy grasshoppers, lice and bed-
bugs. The disease is communicated
by placing diseased bugs in a field in-
fested with chinch bugs.
—This is the way one dairyman
puts it: A good cow will make a
greater number of pounds of human
food in a year than a steer will in a
lifetime, and the cow be left over for
next year.
—1If smut is suspected, soak all seeds
of grain 24 hours in a solution of one
pound of sulphate of copper in six
gallons of warm water, and then mix
the seed with land plaster to dry.
—If you are not ready to make the
hotbed, save the fresh manure in order
to have a supply. It must be free
from litter of any kind.
—We buy over $4,000,000 worth of
oranges and lemons from Italy every
year. although Florida and California
are producing both fruits largely.
—-The light Brahmas, the largest
and most popular fowls, we have, are
often the most profitable,
Good Spellers Needed.
A Business Man Calls Attention to a Neglected
Study.
«If [ got in the school board again,
and I hope to. I shall labor to correct
one error which our schools are commit-
ting,” said a gentleman who takes great
interest in educational questions, to a
Louisville ¢ Courier Journal’ man.
“We are neglecting spelling, and are
doing pupils a wrong. I believe that
there should be spelling every day
through the school course, up to the
very day of graduating.
“The president of & big company in
this eity told me that he had to dis-
charged four stenegraphers, accurate in
their shorthand work, but who spelled
so wretchedly that he was ashamed to
send their typewritten letters to other
business firms.
“Something similar to this was told
me the other day by the head of a Main
street business house that had 12 travel-
ing men on theroad. He was simply
amazed at the spelling in the letters
which they wrote back to the house.
“Right out of the 12 could not write
three lines without incorrectly spelling
as many words. and the remaining four
were not guiltless of errors.
“He said that some of these young
men had taken a commercial course,
wrote an excellent hand, and were push-
ing, hustling business men, but that
their poor spelling was always a draw-
back, and made an unfavorable im-
pression upon the older business men
who were taught under a system that
made correct spelling the mark of
highest distinction.”
The Iron Outlook.
HarrisBUraG, Pa., February 3.—Al-
though the last week of January as a
fairly busy one, the month was unsat-
isfactory to iron and steel manufac-
tures in this vicinity. February pros-
pects showed an improvement within
the week and everybody is looking for
an increase of demand this month. It
15 probable that March will see an im:
proved situation. Several Harrisburg
plants have ordered supplies of pig
iron from Virginia furnaces for 1895
at prices considerably below those of
Penuvsylvania producers, but they are
not heavily supplied with work. Every
plant in the lower end, except the
Chesapeake nail works, which have
been in operation only a few days in
seven weeks, was in operation last
week.
The week was a busy onein the
rail-making branches of the Pennsyl-
vania steel works. Over $50,000 was
paid out to employes for work done
January 1-15, against $23,000 tor the
same period last year. The furnace
blown in, No. 1, made its first cast on
Friday, and is expected to make 250
tons a day. Two other furnaces were
taken off last week for repairs and on
account of temporary dullness, but
three in operation.
Harrisburg’'s Big Fire.
The State Printing Office Burned Early Sun-
day Morning.
HArr1sBURG, February 10.---The fire
which was discovered in the annex of
the state printing office on Herr street
at mid-night was not under control un-
til : this morning. The building and
contents are a total loss. The books
and papers of the superintendent of
public printing in an adjoing building
were saved. Everything else was des-
troyed.
The loss on building and contents is
estimated at $100,000, almost covered
by insurance. It is not known how
the fire originated. The only work for
the legislature that was destroyed was
the calendar for the senate and house
for Monday night's session. The an-
nual report of the state treasurer was
destroyed, but a revised proof is in the
hands of the state treasurer. About
a hundred pages of the auditor gener-
al’s report for 1894 had been printed
and the manuscript is all destroyed as
were other state reports.
State Printer Buech arrived here
this afternoon and will endeavor to ar-
range with one of the printing houses in
the city to do his work until he estab-
lishes a plant.
Put Off.
There is a young lady living out in
the west end who teaches a class at a
mission Sunday school in the suburbs.
Each Sunday she encourages the
children to be present on the following
Sunday by giving them a hint in glow-
ing terms of what the next lesson will
e.
Last Sunday, as usual, she told them
that next :Sunday’s lesson would be
about Lot's wife—how she disobeyed
and looked over her shoulder, and how
she was turned into a pillar of salt.
While the rest of the class were re-
volving the wonderful story in their
minds in open mouthed astonishment
there were two soiled fingers shaking
violently over the heads of the bal
ance, and when the young lady asked
for the question the owner of the fin-
gers exclaimed :
“Teacher, did they eat the salt ?”’
The young lady’s forethought 18 the
better part of her wisdom. She was
puzzled only for a moment. She
smiled upon the tot who had given her
such a close call and answered :
“Oh, you must come next Sunday
and hear.””—Cincinnatti Tribune.
——Editor Morrison, of the Newton
Hamilton Watchman, having been the
victim of certain malicious gossip,
rises to remark. “We learn from dif-
ferent sources that since we have leased
the Miller hotel, that we intend to ap-
ply for a license to sell whisky and
spirituous liquors. All we have to say
on this subject is, that whenever we
can get an application for license
signed by the ministers of the Gospel,
with bishop of the church as bonds-
men, and a guarantee from the govern-
ment ot the United States of salary of
$100,000,000 per day, then, and not till
then, will we apply for the necessary
authority to sell liquor as a beverage.
Now, will this satisfy your
craving appetite for something to talk
about ?"
From Prominent People.
A great many persons to our knowl-
edge have voluntarily pronounced Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy successful
in curing disease. Here are a number of
statements that demonstrate the value
of this medicine.
Commander James S. Dean, of Gen.
Grant Post. G. A. R., Rondout, N. Y.,
contracted an aggravated stomach trou-
ble, which resulted in chronic dyspepsia.
He suffered misery until he used Dr.
Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy. ‘After
using it a week,” says Commander
Dean, ‘‘I felt better, and in a short
while was entirely cured, that terrible
distress and food breaking up sour in
my throat, had all gone.”
Rev. I. W. Hill, pastor Methodist
church Accord, N. Y.: “I can speak
highly of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Rem-
medy as a blood medicine. Ten years
ago I had a cancer removed from my
lip. I then began theuse of Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy and to this
day no sign of it has reappeared.’
The Sisters of Charity, St. Mary's
Female Hospital, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
says : “The satisfaction we realize from
the use of Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Re-
medy surpass all expectation.” The
worst cases of eczema, salt rheum and
scrofula yield to its curative power,
nervousness, eleeplessness, liver and kid-
ney complaints and all urinary troubles
are cured by its use.
——Ttis said that tobacco seed will
retain its vitality eight or ten years.
——0O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of
Tyler Co., W. Va., appreciates a good
thing and does not hesitate to say so.
He was almost prostrated with a cold
when he procured a bottle of Chamber-
lain’s Cough Remedy. He says: “It
gave me prompt relief. I find 1t to be
an invaluable remedy for coughs and
colds.” For sale by F. P. Green.
——The raw silk from Kansas co-
coons is said to be the best in the world.
Don’t Delay. It is your duty to
get rid of the foul accumulation in your
blood this spring. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
just the medicine you need to purify,
vitalize and enrich your blcod. That
tired feeling which affects nearly every-
one in the spring is driven off by Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, the great spring medicine
and blood purifier.

A) CHOPIFLD'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 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
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
i= 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. Profits
will take care of themselves.
When other houses discharged their work-
men during the winter ther were all put to
work in my factory, nevertheless the big (?)
houses of this city and county would smile it
we compared ourselves to them, but we do not
mean to be 80 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.
The following are kept constantly on hand.
50 SETS OF LIGHT HARNESS, prices from
$8.00 to $15.00 and ny LARGE
STOCK OF HEAVY HARNESS per
set$25.00 and vows 500 HORSE
COLLARS from $1,50 to $5,00

ound. We kee Ting be found in a
IRST CLASS HARNESS STORE—no chang-
ing, over 20 years in the same room. No two
gos in the same town to catch trade—NO
SELLING OUT for the wantof trade or prices.
Four harness-makers ut steady work this win.
ter, This is our idea of protection to labor,
when other houses discharged their hands,
they soon found work with us.
